Exiled Jedi

• "A nearby island also held a vehicular upgrade hidden behind a grove of trees." Could you word this where it sounds less like game mechanics? (The same applies to the text in the template.)
  • Uh, how's that? Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 03:39, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
    • It's fine.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 19:52, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
• Could you create an article for the base?--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 17:01, December 13, 2012 (UTC)
  • Sure, created. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 03:39, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
• Could you provide a description section that describes the geography and landscape of the hill?--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 17:03, December 13, 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the review. My degree isn't in geography but I did what I could here. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 03:39, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
• "It was blocked inside a canyon..." Sorry, but I can't figure out what you mean here.
  • reworded. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 04:57, December 20, 2012 (UTC)
• In the description could you give a brief overview of the plant life on the islands? (such as the trees)--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 19:53, December 18, 2012 (UTC)
  • Some info added. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 04:57, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

• Context on Borvo in the intro.
  • Sure, added. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 20:27, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
• You should mention that Sykes and Bravo Squadron were part of the Royal Naboo Security Forces.
  • 'Twas included. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 20:27, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
• Not necessarily an objection, but I need some clarification here. You mention in the body that there was a "vehicular upgrade" near the hill. This sounds to me like a game mechanic that probably shouldn't be mentioned in the main body of the article. Thoughts?
  • Well, there's more to it than gamemechanics, almost like a sidequest, and I think it should be included as it was in proximity to the hill. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 20:27, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
• "The smuggler Borvo the Hutt established a camp on the hill for his criminal organization." When was this? IFYLOFD ^{(Floyd's crib)} 01:40, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for looking it over. Time period has been added, good catch. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 20:27, December 26, 2012 (UTC)

Cav

• During the Invasion of Naboo in 32 BBY, the hill served as a temporary prison - was the hill the prison, or was a base constructed on the hill to serve as a prison? The main body indicates the latter.
  • Good catch, adjusted. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 04:02, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
• Porso Hill was located in a body of water on the planet Naboo. - so would I be right in assuming that Porso Hill was also, technically, an island?
  • Yes, you are technically correct...so should I put that in the article somewhere? Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 04:02, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
    • A mention that the hill was an island would be ideal, as well as the appropriate category.
      • Sure thing, added. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 04:05, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
• also held a vehicular upgrade hidden behind a grove of trees - what type of vehicular upgrade? Weapons? Tech? Or random? If anything, it needs to be noted in the BTS at the very least.
  • Sure, added. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 04:02, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
• Some detail as to how Sykes found out about the prison would be appreciated. - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 01:09, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the advice. Resolving this objection necessitated switching that sentence completely around. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 04:02, December 30, 2012 (UTC)
    • Of course, now you mention a betrayal, a small bit of context is needed there. Nothing major, just a brief mention of what the betrayal was, or in this case, the outcome of it (the death of Kael). - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 15:35, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
      • Contextified. Corellian Premier^{The Force will be with you always} 04:05, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

• I did some tweaking and condensing for the Trade Federation's first mention and context in the body. Let me know if there are any issues. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 23:33, December 29, 2012 (UTC)
