  • Forces of Corruption is not a valid source for 0 BBY, as it doesn't mention it. Check the game's prima guide. Also, have you checked the CSWE for any information? It's proper if you check all sources prior to nomination, Lee.
    • Shortly after his dead, Zann stated that the Rebels recently have destroyed the Death Star above Yavin, so it is in 0 BBY.
      • That's 0 ABY.
        • Nope he is killed before Yavin.
          • Not according to the TEA, however. After the Death Star's destruction, it's 0 ABY. For now, "Around 0 BBY" will do.
  • Intro- How did Malinth die during the battle?
    • No stated.
      • Okay, but could you reword the sentence somehow to make it less confusing? I.e, "During the battle, he was killed..." But, of course, in your own words.
        • Reworded.
  • "In order to do this, the Consortium tried to get a foothold by corrupting Honoghr." Why would corrupting Honoghr reestablish Tyber's organization's dominance?
    • Not stated.
      • See objection about "Corrupting" below.
        • See comment below.
  • Did Malinth control the planet? Why would Tyber send his soldiers to kill Malinth then?
    • Not stated.
  • "Upon landing," Where?
    • Fixed.
  • "...Consortium troop engaged the Imperial and Noghri forces in a battle, during which Malinth was killed" Can you elaborate more on his death? How did he die specifically?
    • Not stated.
  • What do you mean "corrupt" Honoghr? I don't understand what you mean by that. Also, there is another instance of this earlier in the bio.
    • No context for corrupting available.
      • Then you need to change the word to something different. I don't understand what you mean by "corrupting."
  • You say the Prima guide tells the player to kill Malinth by sending a cloaked Urai Fen, but you fail to even mention how Malinth died in the bio or intro. Why isn't the information in the bts not the canonical choice? Clarification is needed.
    • Not stated. Like in the game Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Jedi Alliance Prima Official Game Guide. The advised needn't be canon.
      • If you didn't mention, or if the game "didn't state" how he died canonical, why do you say his alternative death wasn't the correct canonical choice? See how it's confusing?
        • Better?
          • What other ways? So the player can kill Malinth? I thought you originally said his death "was not stated."
            • You can kill Malinth with your troops or Urai Fen. Malnth is killed during the mission but to say how is speculation. Clone Commander Lee Talk 13:42, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
              • Then please explain this in the bts. Everything, including how his canonical death is not shown in game. If you say "the player can kill the guy differently," you need to explain what they are, and explain what the game shows instead. JangFett (Talk) 01:00, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
                • Now. Clone Commander Lee Talk 16:29, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
                  • Lee, I didn't say to change it back. Now it's the same as when I objected to it. I'm going to ask you to please reread what I said. You need to mention that his death did not appear in game, but the prima guide says players can kill him differently. JangFett (Talk) 16:36, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
                    • He was killed in the game. But how is the question, so I don't undertand your problem. Clone Commander Lee Talk 16:43, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
                      • If you don't explain his death in the bio, since it was "not stated," it doesn't make sense on why you say players can kill Malinth differently. You should explain that the game doesn't explain how he died, yet the prima guide says the player can kill the player in different ways. It's been a while since I played EaW. Does the prima guide says where or what mission can the player kill Malinth? JangFett (Talk) 15:15, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
                        • The game states that Malinth was killed, because you haven't completed the mission until you kill him. But how you kill him differently so we can't say sure if he is killed by Consortium troopers or Urai Fen. The game advises you to use Fen. This is all we know. Clone Commander Lee Talk 18:14, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
                          • For some reason, I don't know why you say "this isn't the correct canonical choice." I think if you remove that, it would flow better. I see that bit as mostly speculation. JangFett (Talk) 03:30, July 5, 2010 (UTC)
  • Lee, just to let you know, Force of Corruption wasn't a separate game, but rather an expansion of EaW. I fixed this in the bts; please watch out for it in the future. JangFett (Talk) 22:05, June 21, 2010 (UTC)
Lambda
  • I really don't think the "my blades are..." bit of the main quote is needed. That part is about Fen, and really has no relation to Malinth.
    • Removed.
  • "gain a foothold in the region" Is there a specific thing (system or whatever) that you could pipelink to region?
    • Nope.
