Object

Fainglorious
  • What the hell? I thought you GAN'd this guy months ago.
  • Also, a real one: The double "who" in the first sentence of the intro seems a bit off.
    • Fixed.
  • TIE pilot is pipelinked to pilot --- does the source definitely say he flew a TIE? Seems like he could have flown a Carrack or something.
    • This was based on the fact I saw other articles making that automatic assumption, and there is no basis. Also I got rid of him being Imperial Navy too, as he could have been an Imperial walker pilot who worked alongside Tanbris.
      • A possible scenario: Tanbris at some point had an administrative role on some backwater planet, and Thul Fain was the pilot of an AT-AT/AT-ST who was also stationed there. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 05:43, November 8, 2013 (UTC)
        • Nah, he definitely flew the Imperial UPS van and delivered stormtrooper corps recruitment pamphlets. Menkooroo (talk) 15:22, November 9, 2013 (UTC)
  • "By the year 4 ABY, Fain eventually left Imperial service" --- the combo of "by" and "eventually" doesn't seem right. I think it's redundant. Menkooroo (talk) 01:37, November 8, 2013 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • The ref note in Ref 3 is somewhat problematic. It's effectively sourcing the 0 BBY date to ANH, which can't be done. ANH does not give any date for its events. You need to find another reference for the 0 BBY date. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:57, December 15, 2013 (UTC)
  • I find it awkward referring to Leia as a Rebel "operative." Certainly, it's not incorrect, but it's just a rather strange descriptor for her character. I think it would be better to refer to simply as Rebel Alliance "leader" Leia Organa.
  • Han Solo was not a formal member of the Rebellion by the time of his imprisonment in Jabba's Palace, so referring to him as a "fellow Rebel" is technically not accurate. Please find another way to word this: "...fellow Rebel Han Solo"
  • The article should have an Imperial affiliation category. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:32, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
Nitpickin'
  • The opening sentence of the Bio (including the character's name) is entirely sourced to ROTJ, which needs to be amended since the film didn't name the character. CC7567 (talk) 20:05, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
    • Addressed, and also changed the sourcing of his species, gender, appearance etc. to the CCG card based on the fact we don't get a clear view of his appearance in the film. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 04:55, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

  • Not found in other adaptations/sources. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 20:29, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
  • Also I have concluded that his being on the Khetanna wasn't necessarily during the Battle of Carkoon. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 20:29, November 7, 2013 (UTC)
