  • "…a data archive that contained a non-electronic copy of sensitive information…" Small thing, but the distinction made here by "non-electronic" is unclear to me. Is there a reason for describing this information in terms of something it is not, and should that reason be in the article? NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 22:59, August 3, 2019 (UTC)
    • It provides context to what The Rebel Files are to provide a clear image to the reader. I think that even though it's minor, it's one of the main things that describes what the Files are.--Vitus InfinitusTalk 23:28, August 3, 2019 (UTC)
      • OK. I think "physical" or "offline" might work better for that purpose, but I leave that up to you. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 23:41, August 3, 2019 (UTC)

  • As Torpedo Sphere is a battle station, which means armed space station, don't you think {{Space_station}} should be used instead of {{Starship_class}}?
    • It's my understanding that the space station template is for individual space stations, while starship class is for any type of airborne and space-borne vehicle, including space stations. Either way, I feel that the starship class template works better for the article.--Vitus InfinitusTalk 04:07, August 11, 2019 (UTC)
  • I think I'd like to see subsections for the History section, which would also make room for more quotes if possible.
    • Split history section into two parts. No more quotes that relate are available now--Vitus InfinitusTalk 15:10, August 11, 2019 (UTC)
  • "Sometime between the years[1] 5 BBY and 0 BBY,[4]…" I think removing ref 1 and slightly expanding ref 4 would be better here. Also, as far as I can see, that report is within the book's 14–17 AFE section. So shouldn't that be "between the years 5 BBY and 2 BBY"?
  • "The archive was later unearthed in the ruins of the Tak-Beam complex, a former Alliance base located on the Mid Rim planet of Durkteel, by a construction team employed to build a comm tower[1] in 34 ABY.[6] It made its way to the planetary governor, Vaxvissh Kal Ness," I think this section about The Rebek Files is mostly irrelevant to this article. Just saying it was unearthed in 34 ABY and made its way to Leia should suffice, in my opinion.
  • Given the context, do you think Category:Space station classes and Category:Mobile space stations should be added? I'm not so sure about the latter myself, so I'm leaving that up to you.
  • Could you please slightly reword ref 6 so that the note makes it clear that the in-universe The Rebel Files was on the same day as the Battle of Endor according to the real-life book The Rebel Files?
  • I think Torpedo Sphere being considered as a superweapon should be introduced earlier in the article, possibly in the Characteristics section. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 01:22, August 8, 2019 (UTC)
  • One final nitpicking: Could you please give a brief context for the First Order? TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 15:26, August 15, 2019 (UTC)

  • For starters, I think I would recommend introducing the Space station infobox rather than starship. If a siege platform is a battle station, then that's in a different class than a traditional starship. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:28, October 9, 2019 (UTC)
    • I believe Anil brought it up but the reason I didn't do the space station infobox was because that infobox in my opinion is geared towards an individual space station, rather than a class of space-faring vessel, which is why I believe the starship-infobox is more suitable. However, since you are the second person to bring this up, I'll go ahead and change the infobox--Vitus InfinitusTalk 19:49, October 9, 2019 (UTC)

With Hurricane Dorian approaching the coast of Florida, I am anticipating that I will be losing power for several days starting tomorrow, 9/2/2019. Hopefully it's not more than a couple of days. If this hurricane were to go straight it would literally hit where I live. It is the most powerful hurricane in recorded modern history. Thankfully, it looks like it's making a turn north off the coast, but I will still be affected. I will address any standing objections when I can return as soon as I can. Thank you for understanding.--Vitus InfinitusTalk 23:07, September 1, 2019 (UTC)
