  • "and outwardly cheered RC-1138 when he approached." If the main quote is his only line, I'd say this is a bit misleading. He doesn't seem to be actually cheering, he's sort of just remarking on their rumored skill. IFYLOFD (Talk) 03:39, January 17, 2015 (UTC)
    • The outwardly cheering is reference to his throwing his first up in the air and waving it, physically cheering. Not sure how to phrase that though to clarify... Manoof (talk) 08:56, January 18, 2015 (UTC)
      • OK then, that's fine. Sorry I forgot about this. IFYLOFD (Talk) 01:55, January 29, 2015 (UTC)
501st
  • In the intro, you have the droids getting pushed back to a gun emplacement, while the body has it as a bunker. Which is correct? 501st dogma(talk) 17:41, February 24, 2015 (UTC)
    • Advisor describes it as a gun emplacement, and it looks like a bunker. Changed to gun emplacement to be safe. Manoof (talk) 07:28, February 25, 2015 (UTC)
Exiled Jedi
  • The ordering of events at the barricade seems slightly different between this article and the body of 17. 17's article seems to have Boss, 17, and 35 join up with the other two clones, while this article has Boss meet up with the other clones at the barricade. Which is correct?
    • Technically speaking, both. You walk down a corridor, with a large room. 17 and 35 are on the entrance to the room, the other two troopers inside. The barricade is at the other end of the room. You therefore meet 17 and 35, then all proceed into the room where the other trooper says something and the fourth trooper is at the bacta station. 17 and 35 shoot through the barricade while he talks, before he joins them. When he joins them, and Boss walks further into the room, the fourth trooper stands near a wall which explodes, killing him and unleashing more droids. They're defeated then all survivors (including 35) continue on... Not sure what to do Manoof (talk) 00:48, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
      • Just try and keep the chronology of who they meet up with straight. If they meet up with Boss first, then you should state it that way. From your description of the fight, 17's article appears to have things correct for this. I would try and write this section of the article similarly, but using different words and structure to keep it from being a copy.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 03:17, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
        • How's that? Manoof (talk) 08:09, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
  • From the picture, I think you can add an equipment section.
    • Since it'll be similar to 17's, I'll just wait till I can reference it per your objection there :) Manoof (talk) 07:12, March 20, 2015 (UTC)
    • I've added the section, it's just pending a resolution on the armor source. Manoof (talk) 06:24, March 23, 2015 (UTC)
    • AAaaand done :) Manoof (talk) 03:53, March 24, 2015 (UTC)
  • The bio does not clearly state whether Three-Five survived or not.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 23:22, March 16, 2015 (UTC)
    • After the gun emplacement is taken out, we don't know as Boss continues, leaving the troopers behind. I've clarified to mirror 17's article. Manoof (talk) 00:48, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
  • I don't think this needs a nickname template, since clone troopers all have numbers.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 00:47, April 8, 2015 (UTC)
    • You're right, missed that after someone (Tope maybe) pointed it out on 17... :/ Removed. Manoof (talk) 05:16, April 9, 2015 (UTC)

  • Could you crop the white line out of the bottom of the image? Ayrehead02 (talk) 11:00, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
    • Must've missed it when I first cropped the image. Removed (Great catch btw!) Manoof (talk) 22:46, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
  • As he's a clone you can probably include his hair, skin and eye color in the info box and P&T. Ayrehead02 (talk) 11:00, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
    • I don't think we can, we don't know if he dyed his hair or if it is graying, nor if he wears colour changing eye contacts or if he is tanned or white as porcelain. The only clone status articles I can find with those attributes and details are those who have been seen without their helmet. Manoof (talk) 22:46, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
  • Context for 17 in the body, just something like "and another trooper". Ayrehead02 (talk) 11:00, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
  • Is 17 the trooper that's killed? Ayrehead02 (talk) 11:00, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
    • Objection(s) overridden by AgriCorps 22:50, April 11, 2015 (UTC)
    • No, I had another article for that trooper but it was TC'd, since all that happens to him is the death by the things. Not sure how I could make it clearer without rattling off 35, 17, unidentified clone trooper and boss... Manoof (talk) 22:46, April 4, 2015 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • I meant to ask this on 17's review but forgot. In the main quote, normally there should be a comma between "Hey, Three-Five." Does the game actually present it like this without the comma?
    • Yes, as per the subtitles Manoof (talk) 07:57, April 10, 2015 (UTC)
  • Reviewing notes:
    • In articles like this, where there are multiple variations of a subject's name, it's unnecessary and potentially confusing to the reader to randomly alternate between calling him Three-Five and 35. You should stick with one throughout for uniformity. The only exception to this rule is when you're beginning a sentence. Sentences that begin with numerical numbers should always spell those numbers out; the Equipment section of this article is a perfect example.
      • Changed all instances of 35 to Three-Five (except of course mention of the alternate name). To clarify and make sure I understand what you're saying, they should all be either one name or the other, but not both. Since a sentence starts with his name, an since his name is a number, 35 cannot be used? Manoof (talk) 07:57, April 10, 2015 (UTC)
        • If I'm understanding your question correctly, I think you have it right. Numbers should not be used at the beginning of a sentence. So if you were calling him 35 throughout, you would either change the beginning of the sentence to "Three-Five" or stick another word in there to avoid beginning the sentence with a number, such as "Trooper 35."
    • For the same reason we don't categorize clone trooper articles in the Male category, it's unnecessary and redundant to ever call a clone trooper a "male clone." All Republic clone troopers are male.
      • Understood. Manoof (talk) 07:57, April 10, 2015 (UTC)
    • Please remember to capitalize pipelinks: [[Death/Legends|killed]], not [[death/Legends|killed]]. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:48, April 9, 2015 (UTC)
      • Alright, I'll be more vigilant on this, thanks Tope! Manoof (talk) 07:57, April 10, 2015 (UTC)
