Objections

  • For the B-series battle droid cite, you'll need to cite it in the same way that Unidentified B1-series battle droid 3 (Hissrich) does, will also need to be included in the body (the same linked page mentions in the characteristics section which might be a good spot here) Lewisr (talk) 19:45, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
  • The gender seems to be mentioned only in the infobox, what does the game say in this regard specifically? Lewisr (talk) 19:45, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
    • Kay Vess did mention him as a "he" in the game from the quote "I found another of you. He's Broken.". Just to be safe, I sited Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Character Encyclopedia - Join the Battle! for the height and gender information. BreadyBird (talk) 21:04, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
      • To note we don't take pronouns to mean gender anymore, but I noticed the commando droid page says the game says it refers to them as having masculine programming so I asked the user who added if they can remember what the game says. Unless you by chance are able to find out? Lewisr (talk) 07:40, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
        • Went to take a look at the in-game description for MT-7 and ND-5, but neither seems to state information related to their gender programing except referring to them as "he". I have no idea where in the game the gender comes from, but while checking the BX-commando droid page I did find that the gender information was originally cited as TCW episode "Rookies". So, should I change the source or remove the information instead? BreadyBird (talk) 21:12, 1 March 2025 (UTC)
          • Thanks for taking a look, I think it'd be better to take the gender stuff out and just leave in the pronouns per being referred to as "he" Lewisr (talk) 02:02, 2 March 2025 (UTC)
  • Akiva needs context in both the introduction and body (e.g. that it's a planet) Lewisr (talk) 19:45, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
  • Would like to see the end of the Clone Wars dated at least, perhaps in the sentence that mentions him being deployed to Akiva in the "early service" section (i.e. By 19 BBY, he was deployed to Akiva' Lewisr (talk) 19:45, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
    • Added both of the above. BreadyBird (talk) 21:04, 28 February 2025 (UTC)

  • Nice work. Just a few things:
    • I think it's worth mentioning Kay Vess in the intro
      • Just a bit confused over how gameplay alternatives work in terms of intros. I don't think I ever saw an article with the {{Gamemechanics}} template in the intro, so I've either been non-specific or just excluded the information when editing Outlaws articles. Any tips? BreadyBird (talk) 01:37, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
        • Oh, that is a good point. We can just leave out Kay, then. OOM 224 17:52, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
    • There isn't enough content to warrant further subsectioning under "Imperial Era." If you want to retain all the quotes, you can put one under "Behind the scenes" instead.
    • I'm curious as to the place where Kay Vess found MT-7. Mentioning a specific location on Akiva, if possible, would be nice, as would describing the scene around him. The image in the article body seems to suggest mechanical debris and fallen tree(s)?
    • The decryption module (and any other equipment) should be mentioned under an "Equipment" section, below "Characteristics" (per Wookieepedia:Layout Guide/In-universe#Droid character articles)
    • Missing {{Mediacat}} OOM 224 22:39, 21 March 2025 (UTC)
      • Made the changes according to the four above. BreadyBird (talk) 01:37, 22 March 2025 (UTC)
        • The specific locations on Akiva should be mentioned in the article body as well (anything mentioned in the intro should also be mentioned in the article body, so that everything is cited). Also, does the game specify "monsoon" (since that is a region-specific term in the real-world rather than a straightforward synonym of rainstorm)? OOM 224 17:52, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
          • Added the information, and the monsoon event was specified by MT-7 per the quote: "Reconnaissance mission incomplete. Actuators inactive. Comms inactive. Unit separated by monsoon." BreadyBird (talk) 23:39, 23 March 2025 (UTC)
            • Nice, that's fab OOM 224 18:04, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

  • There's not really enough content here to justify the Biography subsectioning; one-section subsections are avoided in almost all cases sans 'Legacy' sections for stuff way after someone's death, on occasion, or other edge cases. And the current paragraphs are too small to reasonably split up more, in this case, so thus would result in the sectioning removal.
  • If they were on an intel gathering mission in the Clone Wars, given the mission is mentioned in dialogue, seems notable enough to be stubbed and linked into here.—spookywillowwtalk 00:09, 30 March 2025 (UTC)

  • It's been a while since I played the game, but is there no quote about the decoder module for the Equipment section? The body says that Kay took it at MT-7's request so I feel like there should be.
    • The request of MT-7 is: "Will you take my decoder module? To keep it from the enemy." Which I believed doesn't really state the purpose of the module? Anyways, I've added the information according to the two below. BreadyBird (talk) 03:07, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
      • I only mean that you should add that quote to the top of the Equipment section using the {{Quote}} template. It's preferred to have a quote at the top of each section if one's available. Panther436 RedNihilEye (talk) 03:39, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
  • I think the abilities you can unlock through him should at least be listed by name in the BtS, since the game posits that he teaches them
    • Just a heads up, I changed the italics to quotes because we save italics for titles of full works. Panther436 RedNihilEye (talk) 03:39, 1 April 2025 (UTC)
  • Again, been a while since I played the game, but I thought the way Kay convinced him his mission was completed was by gathering up MT-7's data and then helping him send it out into the galaxy. That should be mentioned. Panther436 RedNihilEye (talk) 01:18, 31 March 2025 (UTC)
