Object

A few little things....
  • Prehaps some mention in the P&T about him mistaking Tatooine for a dessert planet?
  • The BtS should probally have something echoing the ambiguty template, saying it has not been veryified or something like that.
  • Awesome article! 501st dogma(talk) 21:09, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
  • Another thing: the article looks almost identical to the way it was originaly nommed in 2007, and contains much the same content. Shouldn't you reword it so it's in your words? 501st dogma(talk) 21:15, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
    • I really don't know the policy about this, I am merely focused on restoring this article to it's former status.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 22:14, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
      • If it a lot of work had to be done on it, then yes, I would be inclined to rewrite the whole thing, but it didn't need all that much, so.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 22:15, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
      • If the words are very old, then there's no reason to rewrite the thing. Especially since it's a restorative effort. One may as well say you should rewrite the whole thing if you're defending a probed article's status. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 03:29, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
        • I guess both of you are right. 501st dogma(talk) 12:50, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
Exiled Jedi
  • Shouldn't equipment be a separate section?
    • An oversight on my part, thanks for catching that.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 16:25, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
  • This guy's hilarious, nice to see someone restoring old status articles.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 16:21, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks, just doing what I can, we all have to better the Wook.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 16:25, August 9, 2012 (UTC)
Hanzo
  • Just one: You should mention Binks being the Senator of Naboo in the body, rather than that being intro-exclusive info. Also, you should link to Planet, I think the "world" in "world of Tatooine" should pipelink to that. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 00:46, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • I take issue with the way in which the article presents Melvin's birth year. The article states that he was born sometime before 0 BBY, but the article later goes on to say that we know he was alive at least some point prior to 6 BBY. The article should present his birth initially according as far back as we can state it, which is 6 BBY, not 0 BBY. The first paragraph of the biography should be altered to reflect this.
  • The intro provides the reader for a general time frame for Fett's career (during the Galactic Empire), but the bio itself really gives us no indication. I added in that Binks was an "Imperial" Senator, but I would like to see this spelled out more literally.
  • It seems at least a redlink would be warranted for this Jawa character, no? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:35, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
    • All taken care of.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 13:38, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
      • I like the changes, but I don't think the "Assumption" reference is entirely appropriate to source the bit about his career being active during the Empire. I would suggest creating a secondary ref note for that, explaining that since the story takes place during Jar Jar's senatorial tenure, it must therefore be taking place during the Imperial reign.

Cav
Attack of the Clone
  • Is he actually a Human? He's listed this way in the categories, though nothing else indicates this. CC7567 (talk) 18:50, September 14, 2012 (UTC)

  • Thanks to NaruHina & Master Jonathan for pre-nom copy-edits and reviews.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 22:16, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
  • Would being related to the Fetts automatically make him human, or not necessarily? Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 00:46, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
    • Nevermind that, already had my doubts that it was obvious, and then my doubts were further confirmed when I read what was said here. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 00:50, August 14, 2012 (UTC)
