  • Would it be possible to briefly mention the interaction between the cup and Fett in the History's quote in the text? Braha'tok enthusiast (Hello there) 07:46, July 8, 2020 (UTC)
    • Mentioned. RattsT (talk) 22:29, July 8, 2020 (UTC)
OOM
  • Intro-exclusive info: there's no mention of Jar Jar being "famous" in the article body.
  • Also regarding the intro, it should be explicitly stated that Melvin was bounty hunting Jar Jar. Currently, with "searching" and "Confusing the souvenir with the famous Gungan, Fett seized the item, content that he had captured his bounty," it's not very clear that Jar Jar was Melvin's quarry, at least until the very end. - - -CIS roundel OOM 224 ༼༽{talk}༼༽ 11:38, July 11, 2020 (UTC)
    • Addressed both. "Famous" probably wasn't the right wording anyway. Changed to "well-known," which is closer to the "recognizable" used in the body. RattsT (talk) 06:16, July 12, 2020 (UTC)
Imp
  • Please make sure the title of both the story and the issue are formatted consistently throughout the article, in all sections and templates.
  • Per ample recent precedent, please change the Dark Horse citation to the equivalent Marvel Comics one.
  • There's no need for ref 4, please just make do with ref 1 for that, since the latter also links to the issue. Imperators II(Talk) 18:47, October 1, 2020 (UTC)
    • All objections addressed. RattsT (talk) 11:22, October 4, 2020 (UTC)
  • I'm not seeing any supporting evidence for the article's subject to be extant in the Rebellion era, as the Eras template indicates.
  • The BTS asserting with certainty that the comic is non-canon contradicts what the article's header template says.
  • Please add the approximate creation date of the cup to the infobox.
  • Does the source actually say that Jar Jar's voice was "recognizable"?
  • Does the source actually say that Jar Jar was "well-known"? Imperators II(Talk) 09:18, October 8, 2020 (UTC)

  • The Melvin Fett article seems to narrow down the timeframe for the story to before 6 BBY based on Pooja Naberrie becoming senator. If this is accurate this should be included in the article as it can then be placed in the Imperial Era. Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:21, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
    • Currently asking around to verify that date, since the note on Melvin's page doesn't specify how it reached that conclusion. RattsT (talk) 04:07, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
      • After asking some other users, I've been unable to confirm this information anywhere, so I'm going to leave the dating as it is. If I do come across solid evidence of the 6 BBY figure though, I'll change the date. RattsT (talk) 22:10, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
  • You don't actually mention in the body that there's a bounty on Binks, just that Melvin's trying to capture him. Since you do include this info in the intro it'll need to be added. Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:21, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
    • Added. RattsT (talk) 04:07, 22 December 2020 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • For starters, you should upload digital versions of the two comic images being used in this article. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:27, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
    • Uploaded new versions. RattsT (talk) 22:59, 23 December 2020 (UTC)
      • You should update both file pages with the appropriate citation template now. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:51, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
  • It would be better for the infobox creation field to specify "By 19 BBY"
  • It would be appropriate for the infobox's owners field to specify a "A Jawa"
  • I'd also recommend specifying "Handheld" for the infobox's size field. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:51, 6 January 2021 (UTC)
    • All above addressed. RattsT (talk) 00:06, 9 January 2021 (UTC)
  • The tweet used in reference 6 really doesn't support the statement that Kochalka is an "avid Jar Jar Binks fan," nor does the tweet in reference 7 support the details "several strips of his comic autobiography."
  • I think you should just remove the last BTS sentence. It's just repeating the header template without adding any extra context or information. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:21, 15 January 2021 (UTC)
