~~Film and novel is a simultaneous appearance, the UK release date is not counted here.~~ UberSoldat93 (talk) 06:33, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
~~I feel like you can just combine paragraphs 1 and 2 of the Biography as both are only two sentences long. This will eliminate the sectioning.~~ UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:51, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- That's how I originally had it but I think that first paragraph is just slightly too long if merged. Ayrehead02 (talk) 11:44, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
  - I still think it looks fine. We have many status articles with such paragraphs. If you go ahead with the change, the second image can be moved next to the third paragraph. UberSoldat93 (talk) 12:43, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
~~Images can be enlarged to 300px~~ UberSoldat93 (talk) 12:43, 12 March 2021 (UTC)
- Done, and this actually makes the paragraphs work slightly better, so I've removed the sectioning as you suggested. Ayrehead02 (talk) 11:00, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

~~I think you can somehow mention that his first name is similar to Shaeffer.~~
- Done. Ayrehead02 (talk) 14:54, 9 March 2021 (UTC)
~~You currently have "No source has yet specified if this captain is Corssin" sourced to the SW.com article, so I think that bit can be reordered somehow.~~ JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 22:16, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
- Removed the no source part entirely. Ayrehead02 (talk) 14:54, 9 March 2021 (UTC)

I think you could slightly trim the context of the battle toward the end of the first Bio paragraph, particularly the final sentence, which is currently somewhat of a run-on. Something like "Once the plans had been transmitted [...] Raddus for the Alliance Fleet to retreat [...]" would probably suffice. 1358 ^(Talk) 20:16, 17 March 2021 (UTC)
- I've done a bit of rewording, is that what you had in mind? Ayrehead02 (talk) 21:14, 17 March 2021 (UTC)

Approved as a Good article by AgriCorps 13:37, 20 March 2021 (UTC)

Should he be the same character as Unidentified Imperial captain (Devastator)? I didn't check the source material for reference, just based on the article's existence. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 17:12, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
- I think that until something specifies that Corssin is captain during ANH or later we shouldn't assume. For all we know Vader choked him for letting the Tantive IV escape or something. Ayrehead02 (talk) 19:35, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
Also, beyond the fact that generals aren't navy ranks, are we sure the Rogue One credits should be taken as canon? After all, Motti was called a general in the ANH credits, Tagge's name was misspelled, and Rune Haako was credited as Lott Dod for AotC. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 17:12, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
- I did consider this, but I don't see him holding this rank a direct contradiction of anything and don't think anyone's ever said we should only assume credits are semi-canon. Ayrehead02 (talk) 19:35, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
  - What of the fact he's literally established to be a captain, which means he can't just simultaneously hold 2 different ranks in the same military? Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 19:40, 23 January 2021 (UTC)
    - Having spoken to several other editors it seems consensus is that general should be treated as an error. I've moved it to the bts and also added a mention of the unnamed captain there as well. Ayrehead02 (talk) 14:11, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
