Since in the main body you say that the brat was born before 3 ABY, I think you could say something to that effect in the infobox. Something like "Shortly before 3 ABY" or something similar. This could also be done with the other Dulok cub noms.--Cal Jedi(Personal Comm Channel) 23:28, October 14, 2011 (UTC)
- That sounds sensible, but I wonder if it would be bad precedent. For example, by that logic, shouldn't something like Unidentified Mos Eisley woman list that character's age as "sometime before 0 BBY," since the character is an adult in that year? I'm not sure; should these articles be treated differently? Or should we include such "before [character's first appearance]" birthdays for all character articles? ~Savage

- I think that we could do it for these toddlers since they are toddlers. The Mos Eisley woman could've been a hundred years old, but these cubs couldn't of been born very long before 3 ABY. Thus, I think it makes more sense to say that they were born "Shortly before 3 ABY" then to say for the woman "Some time before 3 ABY". What do you think of that reasoning?--Cal Jedi

- I think I agree with you, but I don't think it's appropriate in this instance, simply because we don't know how long Duloks take to become adults. No source has told us what the age of adolescence is, or of adulthood. So these kiddos could be less than a year old, 3 years old, 7 years old, who knows? That means that the best we could do is to say, "Before 3 ABY," which, in my opinion, is little better than "sometime before 0 BBY" with the Mos Eisley woman. I think if we knew the age breakdowns for Dulok age brackets, it would be a different story, but since we don't, it seems to be adding non-information. Does that make sense? ~Savage

- I guess that makes sense. I guess that we could do that for individuals we know the age breakdowns for, but not in this case.--Cal Jedi

The Biography quote is a bit wonky. The quotetrans brackets should surround both speakers' lines, and currently, the attribution is italicized. Check out here for a way to do 'er.- One of the appearances oughtta have (First appearance).
