  • Have you checked all available sources? The CSWE comes to mind off the top of my head, but anything that mentions the Battle of Dantooine also needs to be checked (and the Sources for that Dantooine article might not be complete). CC7567 (talk) 06:03, June 1, 2013 (UTC)
    • I can confirm that the CSWE doesn't have anything on the tanks, Fred. Cade GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit Calrayn 06:12, June 1, 2013 (UTC)
      • I think it does, actually—"seismic hover tank," Vol. III, p. 136. (:P) It's also mentioned under Windu's entry on p. 331 (same volume). CC7567 (talk) 06:17, June 1, 2013 (UTC)
        • Blarg. My Volume III file is a CBR and I haven't downloaded a reader program yet. Cade GalacticRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit Calrayn 06:26, June 1, 2013 (UTC)
          • All others sources should be good. I'll add the info from the CSWE later. I don't know why I always forget to check that. Probably because I don't own it and it mentions like everything ever. lol MasterFredCommerce Guild(Whatever) 16:02, June 1, 2013 (UTC)
  • Stemming off the previous objection, have you checked Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide: Updated and Expanded? I just want to make sure, since it looks like the tank has been mentioned in both previous editions of The Ultimate Visual Guide. CC7567 (talk) 23:31, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
    • I believe I had checked earlier and forgot to add it. Added to "Sources." MasterFredCommerce Guild(Whatever) 19:40, June 16, 2013 (UTC)

  • Because you've listed "also referred to as" in the intro, I think identifying where those names came from in the appearance/source list will help. Use 1stID. Btw, have you checked Insider, the CW DVDs, the PhotoComic, Gamer, Fact File ect? I feel like you're missing sources, but I don't want to create another objection to this.

  • Is it ever definitively stated that Dantooine and Ukio were indeed the first and second uses of the tank in combat?
    • Nope. Fixed.
  • Article for the chemical? IFYLOFD (Enter the Floydome) 03:11, June 25, 2013 (UTC)
Cav
  • though not in a canon quote or thought by an in-universe character. - I think we can drop the "canon" part here, since it implies that Labyrinth of Evil is not canon. - 11:00, June 27, 2013 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • Except for the first two sentences, the BTS is nothing but a list of mindlessly regurgitated trivia from the Appearances and Sources lists. I would suggest just removing all of that. Save BTS info for mentions of appearances that carry some significance. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:52, August 1, 2013 (UTC)
    • I want ahead and left the last sentence, as that is the only other IU appearance for the tank, and it played a major role in the comic. MasterFredCommerce Guild(Whatever) 22:48, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

  • "In the 2005 novel Labyrinth of Evil by James Luceno mentions the seismic tank, though not in a canon quote or thought by an in-universe character". I'm not sure what you meant here, could you clarify? Stake black msg 22:58, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
    • Actually, there was a typo. Is that clearer? MasterFredCommerce Guild(Whatever) 00:09, June 1, 2013 (UTC)
      • Hmm, not really. I'm still not sure what you meant there. Stake black msg 00:47, June 1, 2013 (UTC)
        • It's saying the the seismic tank is mentioned in the prose of the book, but that it isn't a canon mention as it isn't a character or IU subject that mentions it. The book is describing Mace and Fisto and uses the seismic tank instances to prove that they are pretty much BA, but this is simply the author describing the characters, not an IU subject doing so.

  • I didn't realize I couldn't edit with it being nominated, so: The eras template is used twice (the second one is blank), stating the other names for the tank in the characteristics section seems kind of redundant, since it was done in the intro, so I guess the source should go up there, and don't mention the other names a second time?, the abbreviation (CIS) seems kind of unnecessary in the History section (around the part that first mentions the tank being used during the Clone Wars), and later (the next paragraph) wouldn't it be more formal to simply use Separatist instead?

    • The eras template is a result of me reloading the infobox (oops), so I've removed it. As for the names, everything in the intro must be restated in the body, so they must stay. References also aren't allowed in intros. And I prefer to include the abbreviation to inform people that such an abbreviation does exist in-universe, and neither way is really more formal than the other. Thanks for looking it over!

      • Also, you are allowed to edit a GAN, but only to fix minor errors, and you must be sure they are errors first. However, the edit you made went against the GA requirements, so it was reverted. Read Cavalier's edit summary in the page's history to see why it was reverted. MasterFredCommerce Guild(Whatever) 14:37, June 2, 2013 (UTC)
