Object

  • Just curious, why is there no infobox? Feel free to convince me otherwise. Cade Calrayn GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit 02:04, August 7, 2012 (UTC)
    • There's an easy answer for that: I didn't know that a suitable infobox existed. :P Anyhow, location infobox added. Tinwe(comlink) 06:55, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

  • When there are more than one or two sources of which to be spoken, "Behind the scenes" doesn't gain anything by rehashing the entirety of the "Appearances" and "Sources" sections. Indirect mentions are a little trivial, as are sources like The New Essential Guide to Characters if they don't actually provide any new info on the river. It's best to keep "Behind the scenes" focused on the noteworthy appearances/sources. Menkooroo (talk) 07:02, August 7, 2012 (UTC)
    • Hmm, I see your point. I removed the indirect Jedi Quest mentions from the BTS, but I'd rather keep NEGTC and CSWE since they actually mention the River of Light by name (you might still consider them trivial though, since there isn't any unique information in them that couldn't be found in the in-universe appearances). I think the Peña note is needed though, just to clarify what the article's indirect mention actually was. Tinwe(comlink) 07:34, August 7, 2012 (UTC)
  • A couple more: Is there a quote in the Jedi Quest book that could be used for the "History" section? I'm guessing no, since it's an indirect mention, but just thought I'd ask to be sure.
    • Nothing useful there, I'm afraid. All the quotable material (except for the quote already used) tends to focus on the river stones, not the river itself. Tinwe(comlink) 12:37, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
  • In the first paragraph of the BTS: If you're going to ref the CSWE, then The Hidden Past and the NEGTC should be reffed too, for consistency. Menkooroo (talk) 04:09, August 8, 2012 (UTC)
    • Eh, seems a bit redundant to me since the ref tags don't give any new information in those cases, as opposed to the CSWE cite with its volume and page number parameters (the latter of which shouldn't even be used in the Sources section as far as I know, so if I want to include the page number it has to be in the BTS ref); but refs added anyway.

  • While the details about who owned Jinn's river stone may seem only distantly related to the article's actual subject, they are mentioned in the River of Light's CSWE entry, so I guess we ought to include them in our article as well. Tinwe(comlink) 10:06, July 30, 2012 (UTC)
