Object

QGJ

• I can see that he is holding a blaster and a comlink on the picture. This, along with his attire, can be described in an "Equipment" section. QuiGonJinn ^(Talk) 12:50, December 2, 2019 (UTC)
  • Added. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 16:12, December 2, 2019 (UTC)

Anil

• I'd like to see a brief context for Nokk in the intro.
  • Done. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 07:17, December 12, 2019 (UTC)
    • That looks better, but it is a little weird mentioning only one of Nokk's skills and ignoring the rest. Something brief like "fellow Trandoshan" or "a promising young Trandoshan" should do the trick for the intro. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 23:07, December 12, 2019 (UTC)
      • Done. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 07:23, December 13, 2019 (UTC)
• I think there is more in that comic and in Doctor Aphra Annual 2 that can be added to the article. Please revisit the comics and revise accordingly. At the very least, you can add why Skikkesk was jealous of Nokk, that the Wookiee was a "newborn," and all that "bloodletting" stuff in Trandoshan culture, which probably warrants the creation of its own article.
  • I've covered the Annual 2 part, but after some digging, I have been unsuccessful in finding out exactly what bloodletting is in Trandoshan culture. I assume it's either to do with wiping out a "brood line" over one's dishonour like Nokk's clan did. If I am right about this, all I will need is a source. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 21:28, December 16, 2019 (UTC)
    • "So when it comes to her final test—they call it 'the bloodletting'—he arranges something special." I mean, I think it's safe to assume that the bloodletting is the final part of the Trandoshan coming-of-age ceremony, which is to kill a newborn Wookiee for Nokk. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 21:53, December 16, 2019 (UTC)
      • Oh of course I'm so stupid I assumed you were implying that there was more to learn about the bloodletting in other content. Sorted it now. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 22:26, December 16, 2019 (UTC)
• Per precedent, you don't need to specify "canon" or "Legends" in BTS if the subject is relevant to only one of the continuities.
  • Sorted. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 07:17, December 12, 2019 (UTC)
• (Reviewing note) When formatting file names, such as images, please use underscores (_) instead of spaces.
  • In case this is meant to be crossed off, I have sorted this. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 07:29, December 18, 2019 (UTC)
• "It was known that those who came close to the Trandoshan did not survive." It was known by who? It's best not to use phrases like "it was known" or "it was considered" unless that's how it's presented in the source material.
  • Changed it. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 07:40, December 12, 2019 (UTC)
• Honestly, I get some play-by-play-ish vibes while reading some sections of the article, the second paragraph of the Biography section, in particular. This usually happens when there are multiple successive sentences that simply summarize the dialog: "X told so and so, and Y responded bla bla." Please take a look through the text and see if you can put more emphasis on actions, rather than conversations. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 03:19, December 12, 2019 (UTC)
  • I've tried to change up some of the sentences. Tell me if it looks better. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 07:23, December 13, 2019 (UTC)
    • Much better! Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 21:03, December 13, 2019 (UTC)
• One last thing. Are you sure that his eye color is red? In the last panel of the comic, the one with the rancor pit, his eyes look yellow to me. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 23:36, December 16, 2019 (UTC)
  • Ah yes I had referenced the panel where he stood in front of a fire so no wonder the eyes looked red there. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 07:34, December 17, 2019 (UTC)

Cwedin

• The comic book titles should be reformatted, per the recent CT.
  • Done. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 22:32, December 16, 2019 (UTC)
• Could you add an imagecat? - Cwedin^(talk) 21:11, December 13, 2019 (UTC)
  • Also done. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 22:32, December 16, 2019 (UTC)

Toprawa

• Starting with some easy preliminaries, it should be a simple enough task to blacken out, rather than whiten out, the speech bubbles in the main image. That will make them look far less distracting.
  • Speech bubbles gone in profile image. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 22:30, December 17, 2019 (UTC)
• The Biography is a good size to be divided into two subsections of two paragraphs each, for four total paragraphs. This will allow you to introduce any additional quotes/images as available, and will require you to resize and reposition the image that's there now. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 04:23, December 17, 2019 (UTC)
  • Done. I've put in a request about the speech bubbles to User:Brules as well. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 09:07, December 17, 2019 (UTC)

Zed

• In the first paragraph of the biography, you should probably specify that Nokk escaped and survived the purge. Zed42 (talk) 23:00, December 17, 2019 (UTC)
  • Done. Braha'tok enthusiast (talk) 07:29, December 18, 2019 (UTC)
