Object

  1. The Grand Master
    • "Upon touching down on Teth in their Low Altitude Assault Transports, the battle droid forces stationed on a mesa opened fire, forcing the gunships to land." If they've already touched down, then they've already landed. Do you mean "upon arriving at Teth"? Please fix this.
      • I was also going to object to this same thing. You've effectively said "Once the LAATs landed, the droids opened fire, forcing them to land." It makes no sense. Please revise. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:40, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
        • Fixed.
    • "In the end, Rotta was rescued but all except six clone troopers of Torrent Company had died." "In the end" is not very encyclopedic. Please reword.
      • Fixed.
    • In the intro you say that the hyperspace routes to which they were trying to gain access were controlled by Jabba, but you don't mention this in the bio.
      • Fixed
    • "The gunships were fired upon by the droid forces, forcing them to land under the monastery and climb up the cliff." This makes it sound like the gunships were forced to climb up the cliff. Please reword for clarity.
      • Fixed.
    • Jonjedigrandmaster (Jedi Beacon) 15:12, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
      • Thanks for the review, Jon. --Clone Commander Lee Talk 18:34, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
  2. Toprawa:
    • Please give this better descriptive context for time frame. Did this happen during the trip down to the planet, for example? "Another trooper informed Ridge that his comlink had gone static, and Ridge quickly corrected it." Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:40, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
      • Fixed. Thanks for the review. --Clone Commander Lee Talk 18:34, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
  3. Attack of the Clone
    • The film is not a source for his membership of the 501st Legion or Torrent Company. You're going to have to point me to the exact place it's mentioned.
      • Fixed.
        • Your own article indicates that the only clones deployed to Teth were the Torrent Company and Ghost Squadron. --Clone Commander Lee Talk 14:37, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
          • What's your point? I didn't source that information specifically to the film like you did. The objection still stands with your incorrectly sourced information in the body. CC7567 (talk) 17:13, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
            • Fixed.--Clone Commander Lee Talk 17:29, September 12, 2009 (UTC)
              • Please decide what you want to say for his affiliations and stick with it. His membership of Torrent Company is still in the intro. CC7567 (talk) 00:45, September 13, 2009 (UTC)
                • Er, no. It stands that he serves with Torrent Company, not in it. --Clone Commander Lee Talk 10:34, September 13, 2009 (UTC)
                  • That wording basically says the exact same thing. Please either say that he was in Torrent Company or not at all, and please be consistent in both the intro and bio. CC7567 (talk) 18:02, September 13, 2009 (UTC)
                    • CC I don't really understand you. Do you want me to say that he was in Torrent Company, but source not with the film. Or do you want me to remove it completely. --Clone Commander Lee Talk 10:58, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
                      • I'm asking you to either keep it in article if there's a properly attributable source, and if there's not, then remove it, all of it, as speculation and unverified info. CC7567 (talk) 08:26, September 15, 2009 (UTC)
                        • I still think he is part of Torrent Company, but I didn't found a source for that, so I removed it. --Clone Commander Lee Talk 11:59, September 15, 2009 (UTC)
                          • No, you have not removed it. "Around 22 BBY, Ridge served with Torrent Company, when it was dispatched to the planet Teth to recover the Huttlet Rotta" is still right there in the intro. CC7567 (talk) 16:14, September 15, 2009 (UTC)
                            • Now. --Clone Commander Lee Talk 18:02, September 15, 2009 (UTC)
                              • First of all, I apologize for my mistake about the wording; the "with" part was fine how it was, but everything else was not. Moreover, Torrent Company is still sourced to the film in the article. Please find the source that states it appeared. And no, that does not mean removing it if you cannot find the source. It's legitimate information that you still have sourced wrong. CC7567 (talk) 20:19, September 15, 2009 (UTC)
                                • I sourced it now with the novel. Hope that is finally correct. --Clone Commander Lee Talk 17:57, September 16, 2009 (UTC)
    • "in order to gain access to hyperspace routes controlled by his father, Jabba Desilijic Tiure": so Torrent Company was trying to gain access to the hyperlanes for itself only? This is a problem in both the intro and the body.
      • Fixed.
    • If you're going to say that he died at Teth and source it to the film, you're going to have the word the intro to be more direct and clarify that he was one of the fallen.
      • Fixed.
    • What proof do you have that Ridge served at Christophsis? That's what you're implying when you include this otherwise supposedly unnecessary information in the article.
      • Fixed.
    • Please reword "gone static" to something clearer.
      • Fixed.
    • How do you know Ridge was killed by blaster fire? Please point me to the frame in the movie that shows that. CC7567 (talk) 20:57, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
      • Fixed. Thanks for the review, CC.

  • Forgot to mention this but, in the P&T you mentioned: "Ridge was a loyal clone trooper and obeyed the orders from his commanding officers." When did this occur in the film? I remember Ridge replying to that one clone trooper and fixed his comlink. JangFett Talk 20:22, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
    • He obeyed, the red light, stand by order. --Clone Commander Lee Talk 18:57, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
      • However, what "commanding officers"? JangFett Talk 19:01, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
        • Wasn't that said by Rex. --Clone Commander Lee Talk 19:06, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
          • And how can you verify that? You're still speculating if you say this. CC7567 (talk) 19:08, September 10, 2009 (UTC)
          • Whoever said this has to be a superior officer. He also obeyed the commands to climb the cliff and deploy from the gunship. Neverless I removed superior officers. --Clone Commander Lee Talk 09:00, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
