  • Two things: You mention the Desolator Crisis in the intro but give no context. Also you do not mention the crisis at all in the bio. Clone Commander Lee Talk 09:36, September 17, 2012 (UTC)

  • The speaker attribution for the quote in the bio section makes it appear that Marcovic is the first speaker, which I assume to be incorrect?
    • Fixed.
  • I'm guessing General Suthra is a Republic general, but his/her mention in the sentence concerning Angral's apprentices makes the distinction unclear. - Cavalier OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 10:51, October 9, 2012 (UTC)

  • Some of the objections that have been left on your noms on the FAN page apply here --- capitalization of a certain species throughout the article, image caption punctuation, linking, and context. Not to sound like a dick, but since these objections have come up a few times, please go through this article, as well as every article you have nommed on all three nom pages at the moment, and fix them up.
    • No problem.
  • Can you get a second image of Marcovic for the body? It would be much more relevant to the article than the image of T7. Menkooroo (talk) 11:37, October 23, 2012 (UTC)
    • Unfortunately, all videos of that quest online are low-quality, and regardless of that he's literally in the same pose throughout the entire cutscene. Cade Calrayn GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit 16:37, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
  • Linking is better but could still be improved; basic things like year, day, color, time, hair, comic book (check the infobox and the explanatory ref note, too).
    • Done.
      • Sweep the intro too.
        • Done.
  • Can you make the quote attribution for the bio a bit more clear as to who's saying what?
    • Done.
  • "The Republic Strategic Information Service, the Republic's intelligence agency, was able to trace the signal back to Ord Mantell but lost it beyond that point." Is the signal from when he witnessed his son's death? The bio's already skipped ahead to him having seized several superweapons, so it's not entirely clear.
    • Done.
  • The article is pretty context-heavy. I think you can shift its focus more to Marcovic --- the second paragraph of the bio doesn't mention him at all. Be creative and see what you can do about adding something about him being at the facility to the end of the paragraph. The third paragraph should also focus more on Marcovic in the first few sentences rather than tell the tale of the Knight's storming of the facility and then get to Marcovic afterward. The perspective there currently reads more from the Knight's than Marcovic's.
    • Done.
      • Gooooood. The first sentence of the third paragraph needs a little cleanup, though, and you should probably standardize between T7-01 and Teeseven. Menkooroo (talk) 05:48, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
        • Done. Cade Calrayn GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit 06:04, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
          • The "Along with the other Imperial soldiers" wording was fine; I was referring to "was the only defender left by the time Jedi Knight and Teesven..." There are also still multiple cases of both T7-01 and Teeseven used. You should choose one and stick with it. The more-official "T7-01" is probably the better choice, but just make sure the entire article is consistent. Menkooroo (talk) 07:06, November 5, 2012 (UTC)
  • A tip about linking: Since you mention "astromech" twice, a good course of action would be to link the more specific T7-series astromech droid the first time and the more generic astromech droid the second.
    • Done.
  • "However, he was no match for the Knight's combat prowess, and it was only a short amount of time before he was fatally injured." Is that always true? If he's a boss fight, can we really make a judgment on how quickly and easily the player defeats him?
