The time context about the Galactic Civil War is intro exclusive. This should be added to the body as well, especially as the Galactic Empire is not linked at the moment in the body.
The bio and P&T quotes differ in how they capitalize death mark. Is it supposed to be like this?
Just clarifying, but he was mentioned in Star Wars: Episode I The Visual Dictionary and the Galactic Phrase Book & Travel Guide, correct?501stdogma(talk) 01:00, January 4, 2015 (UTC)

I don't know if this is an issue in the monobook skin but in the wikia skin at the moment the caption for the boba fett image partially overlaps with the game mechanics tag. Could you move the image down to within the game mechanics tag so this isn't an issue?Ayrehead02 (talk) 11:47, January 7, 2015 (UTC)
I moved it down, but does it seem to you that the issue persists? I think the only other alternative would be to move it to below the Personality and traits section. StarsiderSWG (talk) 01:35, January 8, 2015 (UTC)

Preliminary objection: Not going to mince words here, the infobox image is terrible. It's low resolution and poorly cropped. Can you not upload one of better quality?Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:48, January 20, 2015 (UTC)
I'll see what I can do. Unfortunately this gungan only ever appeared in a tiny comm window, so it'd be tricky to include a higher quality image. If there's no objections, I could get a much better quality image of Nalskel by emulating his appearance directly in SWGEmu, as was done with Binna Jode for example. StarsiderSWG (talk) 22:57, January 21, 2015 (UTC)
I'm not sure what that entails exactly, and it really kind of seems fan art-y to me, so I'm not going to definitely say that that's ok. I understand the resolution may be a problem, but do the best you can. If nothing else, just get a better vertical crop of it; i.e., not so much blank space above his head. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 23:03, January 21, 2015 (UTC)
Yeah,I see what you mean. I'll get a new image uploaded by tomorrow. StarsiderSWG (talk)
Okay, so a few things. I expanded the BTS a bit with some new information I discovered from the game's directory files, regarding an additional quest which never made it into the game. I also uploaded a better cropped version of Nalskel. Lastly, I'm including here an emulated depiction of Nalskel, that is even much higher quality. Personally, I believe we could/should use this instead. I understand it may be a bit of a grey area, but it's literally the same exact graphical model used for Nalskel, according to the directory files. I don't think it's all too different than other articles on this site, which openly display images of textures directly pulled from files, or whatever... but that's just me. Plus, I feel like extra considerations might be necessary, seeing as how SWG is pretty much the only Star Wars source that can no longer be truly purchased or accessed.
Ok, can I ask how many other status articles you have used emulated Galaxies images for? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:47, January 27, 2015 (UTC)
None of my own status articles use emulated images (at least, not as of yet), however other users have requested them from me for other status articles, including M'Kae and DS-181-4. StarsiderSWG (talk) 19:55, January 27, 2015 (UTC)
Well, I have my reservations about it, but other people are generally ok with it from talking to them, so I'm not going to object to it. Go ahead and use that emulated version.
The article's quotes. Are these taken verbatim from in-game captions, or are these your own transcriptions?Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:12, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
Thank you. To be extra conservative, I cropped the emulated image starting from above the gloves, since technically the lower portion of Nalskel wasn't seen in Galaxies. The quotes are exactly as they appeared in the game, as compared to screenshots of the quotes, and the quotes in the directory files. StarsiderSWG (talk) 22:29, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
So, just to be clear, the game capitalizes "Bounty Hunter" and "Death Mark" in the first two quotes but does not capitalize "death mark" in the third? "Views" is also spelled incorrectly in the intro quote. And "polictica"? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:34, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
That's affirmative. Unfortunately, it would appear that in their attempt to make this Nalskel fellow "sound" like a Gungan, the developers unnecessarily butchered the english language. They threw in ridiculously unpronounceable words like 'polictica' (which I honestly can't imagine even a Gungan saying). 'Veiws' was definitely misspelled, and the inconsistent capitalizations are how they were in the game. Just one of those weird things you would see in SWG. StarsiderSWG (talk) 22:42, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
Very well. My next concern, then, is including a [sic] after "veiws" so that others who see it and might want to correct it as a simple typo understand that it's meant to be there. Any objections to that? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:46, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
Agreed, especially since that one does appear to be a legitimate error. I've gone ahead and added [sic] StarsiderSWG (talk) 22:49, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
"It" is never an effective way to start a sentence or sentence clause because it doesn't provide any context for what or whom the "it" is intending to reference. In this case, it would be better to say who learned this specifically: "...it was learned that Soris was away on business."
I would suggest just removing the Boba Fett image. It doesn't fit well in the body given the game mechanics template, and it really isn't serving any critical need other than just trying to have an image for the sake of doing so. Readers don't need to be shown who Boba Fett is, and Fett never interacted directly with Nalskel anyway.Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 23:20, February 3, 2015 (UTC)
Ok, those issues should be addressed now. StarsiderSWG (talk) 00:10, February 4, 2015 (UTC)
In reference to 501st's objections. I added the GCW spiel to the main body. The actual text in the game differed the capitalization of 'Death Mark.' I'm not sure if this was done intentionally, or was some sort of error. I could always add [sic] to the quote? Nalskel only appeared and was mentioned in SWG. I sourced the reference books solely in reference to the Gungan characteristics and language. If this is incorrect, I can remove those as in-text references, and just leave the books under the "Sources" section. Thanks! StarsiderSWG (talk) 03:09, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
Since you don't know which death mark capitalization is right, I'd leave the [sic] out. As for the sources part, Nalskel needs to have been mentioned in a source for it to go to the Sources list. You can leave the references as they are, but the Sources should be removed if he was not mentioned there. 501stdogma(talk) 19:19, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
Ooh... that makes sense. I've gone ahead and removed the Sources section. StarsiderSWG (talk) 23:47, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
