Graestan
  • Before I say anything else: "and keep his behavior" – Huh? Graestan(Talk) 03:58, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
    • Better? --Skippy Farlstendoiro 13:09, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
  • I don't understand why all that information about him from the sourcebook is in the BtS. Shouldn't it be in the P&T? It isn't as though the information is not canonical. Graestan(Talk) 02:43, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
    • Leland Chee specified somewhere that game stats are not canon (while I digress on what he means exactly by that, whether it applies to numeric stats or also to "special traits" and so, and on much more on that matter). Thus, if Jiton has Pilot 4D+1, that's not enough to mention his piloting skills under P&T. That being said, characters with RPG stats commonly have better stats as time passes by, reflecting experience gain, unless there's an in-story justification (Old age, maiming...). Jiton, extraordinarily, has worse stats without apparent reason (My money's on a typo), so I thought it was worth mentioning — in the only possible section.

Ride 'im like a bus route
  • Use a synonym for "operated" in the second sentence.
  • You should mention his gambling habits in the bio.
  • "he preferred stealth and ambush over direct confrontation with the target, to the point that the target" Can we get a synonym for one of these "targets?"

    • Better? --Skippy Farlstendoiro 06:47, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
  • "until they captured an Imperial Star Destroyer." Is it known what exactly about the ISD helped them learn his identity? Chack Jadson (Talk) 16:14, June 18, 2010 (UTC)
    • Nope. Only after our capture of an Imperial Star Destroyer did we learn that Tyrn Jiton was responsible. (Airen's words). Skippy Farlstendoiro 16:54, June 25, 2010 (UTC)
  • The last sentence of the BTS needs to be sourced, specifically the "something very uncommon" bit, or rephrased some way. Chack Jadson (Talk) 23:04, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
    • Better? --Skippy Farlstendoiro 04:13, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
      • That's exactly what I was thinking of, actually. Chack Jadson (Talk) 22:56, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
Soresu
  • The second para of the P&T could probably have its own Equipment section. SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is a lie) 08:05, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
    • Done. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 14:52, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
Dead link
  • It looks pretty good, except for the dead link. --===DARTHRAGE=== 12:41, July 22, 2010 (UTC)DarthRage
    • What dead link? The red link on neurostaff? If so, it's been stubbed but per rule #8 a GAN like this can have 1 redlink (except in the intro). --Skippy Farlstendoiro 14:25, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
      • Yeah, so I guess its okay. You have my supportDarthRageLeave a message after the beep 02:00, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • I would like to echo the substance of Graestan's second original objection above, per the discussion below. Leland Chee's comments do not suggest that RPG stats should be considered completely non-canon, only that they should be disregarded in the instances that they are entirely contradictory to another source. I'm not sure all of what from the BTS may be included in the article proper, but certainly it seems some of it should be legit. Toprawa and Ralltiir 00:15, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
    • Like this? --Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:41, July 24, 2010 (UTC)
      • That appears satisfactory to me, but you know the material better than I do. As long as you're comfortable that all pertinent information is included in the IU portion of the article, go for it. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:45, July 27, 2010 (UTC)

  • Regarding Graestan's second original objection and your claim of Chee saying these RPG stats are not canon, can you actually produce this comment for verification and for our benefit? Because if so, that will affect a large number of articles on the wiki. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:44, July 20, 2010 (UTC)
    • [1] I have found a related reply from Chee. I think we can use the special traits in the body of any article, if they don't contradict other materials. Darth Morrt 09:50, July 22, 2010 (UTC)
