Object
I think we're onto something here
"His implant in the game looks like Lobot's implant from Star Wars Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back which is a Borg Construct Aj^6" This ref is questionable. I understand that it looks like Lobot's implant, but can we be sure that it is the same type? You can make two cars that look exactly alike, but one of them was from one company, and the other company stole the idea. What do you think?- Using this same logic, you could never call anything what it is appears to be. You couldn't call an X-wing an X-wing unless the source said that it was an X-wing. The point is that you can't say what anything is if you use this logic, because any technogical device could be a cheap knock-off that has the same appearance as the original. I know my point seems ridiculous, but think about it.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 15:23, October 12, 2011 (UTC)
- Seems to make sense, and since I haven't played Galaxies, I wouldn't be able to say much more than this. I'll go ahead and strike it.

"The implant had dark red, red and light blue markings on it." This sentence makes no sense. What do you mean by "Dark red, red"?- Well, I guess I just messed up there, I meant to mention that it had red lights on it. It should be fixed now.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 15:23, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Prepare to be savaged…
Watch the redundancy; you mentioned about 8 times he worked as a weed-puller for Nym in the stronghold and city. Also, I think it's not necessary to mention that he lived during Paplatine's Empire and during the Galactic Civil War; one time reference should be enough. Don't we have a hard date for Galaxies? I'm pretty sure it's not just vaguely during the GCW but is in 3 ABY or something like that. ~Savage 14:03, October 13, 2011 (UTC)- I have been told before that there is no hard date for Galaxies. I have also looked at status articles from the game and they don't have any hard dates. I did add that the events in the game were after the Battle of Yavin. Sorry about the redundancy.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 22:23, October 13, 2011 (UTC)
Is Star_Wars_Galaxies#Timeline in error, then? I honestly have no idea. And no worries about the redundancy thing; I just wanted to make sure you knew why I yanked out so much. :) ~Savage 22:41, October 13, 2011 (UTC)- Hmmm... I am not sure, I don't have a really good handle on when the events of the game occur. All I know is that the game is set sometime between the Battle of Yavin and the Battle of Endor. Do you think I should start a Senate Hall discussion about this?--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 00:47, October 14, 2011 (UTC)
- I'll go ahead and support, but it still might be worth a SH thread, since it looks like someone at some point figured out a date for the game... ~Savage 02:05, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Toprawa
Is there canonical precedent for capitalizing both words in the term "Nym's Stronghold"? If not, "stronghold" should be decapitalized. As an addendum to this objection, the Game-mechanics section of the bio refers to the term as "Nym's stronghold." Please revise for consistency.- The in-game radar capitalizes it.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 22:44, October 23, 2011 (UTC)

The intro states that he tried enticing passing spacers to help, while the bio says that he tried enticing passing "people." This isn't exactly synonymous. Please revise for consistency.Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:27, October 23, 2011 (UTC)- I changed it to individuals in the intro.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 22:44, October 23, 2011 (UTC)
