  1. Toprawa:
    • Note: You may want to read my last comment before going through/addressing these.
    • If he does appear prior to this date, then this should be reworded to avoid the "apparently": "Apparently prior to 3,032 BBY"
    • Could you reword this to say something like "he left his homeworld at some point" in order to avoid the "unknown" phrasing? "it was not known exactly when he left his native world."
    • Please provide a year following your mention of this war for a little clearer context of time: "battle ranged from the War of the Gungan Tribes"
    • Please reword to avoid saying the speculative "apparently": "he was apparently willing to work for any faction"
    • Can you reword this to say "to an Ewok tribe" rather than saying "unknown"? "who were members of an unknown tribe,"
    • What "reports" are these exactly? Not sure that would be the best wording to use. Also, it would be best to avoid the speculative "seemed." The reports either indicated or didn't indicate: "Some reports seemed to indicate that more than one "Simon" was seen within the same locations"
      • Excellent clarification. Better than I thought could be done. Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:26, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
    • This is very speculative information. If you can't reword it for it to read factually, it should probably go into the BTS: "Combined with his apparent longevity, this could be an indication of an Ewok tribe which possessed the same traits as Simon. Given the frequent Ewok use of abilities and devices which appeared to be magical, or based on the Force, either theory could be valid."
      • I understand the ambiguous nature of this character concept, thus the heavily use of speculative wording. But, if he does appear in these time frames and in strange manners, then it should be written as such, no matter how fantastical it seems. That's what makes its canon dubious. ;) You might want to create subsection in the BTS to explain the hypothetical, speculative phrasing. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:27, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
