Object

CC-8

• Really good stuff, only got a couple of small things. In the bio the phrase "Sinker was a male smuggler" can't be sourced to the Reader's companion.
  • Done. Toqgers (talk) 21:45, January 14, 2020 (UTC)
• Should mention that Talon Karrde was a fellow criminal or something more specific when he's first mentioned in the bio. Commander Code-8 ^{Hello There!} 13:23, January 14, 2020 (UTC)
  • How is it now? Toqgers (talk) 19:08, January 17, 2020 (UTC)

Anil

• Did you check the abridged audiobook adaptation of Survivor's Quest for a possible appearance? Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 14:30, January 23, 2020 (UTC)
  • Yep! It goes right from the scene with Booster and Karrde to where Luke and Mara meet up with Karrde, so this scene is skipped. Toqgers (talk) 21:38, January 23, 2020 (UTC)
  • Thanks very much Anil for the audio files! It's greatly appreciated. Toqgers (talk) 10:12, January 25, 2020 (UTC)

QGJ

• I believe the birth date in the infobox can be shortened to "c. 6 ABY"
  • Oh, I thought that's what the {{circa}} template is for, am I mistaken on that? I think it looks a little cleaner as is, but whatever is preferred is fine by me haha. Toqgers (talk) 06:48, January 27, 2020 (UTC)
    • That template is generally only used in our year articles for events that were placed there approximately. See 94 BBY or any of the other years, for example. When using approximate dates in other in-universe articles, we tend to use "c. 6 ABY" instead. QuiGonJinn ^(Talk) 08:34, January 27, 2020 (UTC)
      • Gotcha. Changed it. Toqgers (talk) 20:14, January 27, 2020 (UTC)
• Some context for Talon Karrde in the intro, please.
  • Done. Toqgers (talk) 06:48, January 27, 2020 (UTC)
    • You now have a repetition of the word "Smuggler" in the intro, as well as a duplicate link. Can you find some other title to describe Karrde? QuiGonJinn ^(Talk) 08:34, January 27, 2020 (UTC)
      • I'll come up with a different way to phrase it. Could use information broker, but it's not really pertinent to the Karrde-Huxley relationship. Toqgers (talk) 20:14, January 27, 2020 (UTC)
      • Changed it. Tell me what you think of it now. Toqgers (talk) 01:30, January 28, 2020 (UTC)
• Likewise, context needed for Mara upon first mention in the bio.
  • Done. Toqgers (talk) 06:48, January 27, 2020 (UTC)
• Is it possible to get an image of Mara without the visible Japanese text? QuiGonJinn ^(Talk) 08:04, January 24, 2020 (UTC)
  • I think there's a Topps trading card that shows the cover art without the text, let me see if I can get my hands on and scan that. I think it's probably the most suitable picture if that issue can be fixed, since it depicts Mara at the time of the novel. Toqgers (talk) 10:12, January 25, 2020 (UTC)
  • Update: I have a copy of the card now and will have a chance to scan it either tomorrow or Wednesday. Toqgers (talk) 20:14, January 27, 2020 (UTC)
    • Uploaded new image of the art that doesn't show the text. Toqgers (talk) 01:26, January 30, 2020 (UTC)

UberSoldat

• The Lightsaber article can be pipelinked to the word "weapon" in the intro. UberSoldat93 (talk) 21:23, February 7, 2020 (UTC)
  • I've gone ahead and linked the word weapon to Melee weapon/Legends in the intro and body instead, is that a suitable alternative? Toqgers (talk) 22:53, February 10, 2020 (UTC)

Ayrehead

• I think the third sentence of the bio should be split. Ayrehead02 (talk) 13:55, February 10, 2020 (UTC)
  • Done. Toqgers (talk) 02:46, February 14, 2020 (UTC)
• The second bio paragraph can also be split. Ayrehead02 (talk) 13:55, February 10, 2020 (UTC)
  • Done. Toqgers (talk) 19:37, February 16, 2020 (UTC)
• Are you purposefully calling Luke "the Skywalker"? Ayrehead02 (talk) 13:55, February 10, 2020 (UTC)
  • Fixed. Toqgers (talk) 00:31, February 15, 2020 (UTC)
• Could you re-word "brought the smuggler at blasterpoint"? It sounds very odd to me. Ayrehead02 (talk) 13:55, February 10, 2020 (UTC)
  • Done. Toqgers (talk) 21:26, February 17, 2020 (UTC)
