3. Great job! I love Marda but this story really furthers how different she became after Path of Deceit, exampled here by the Jedi and what happened with him Lewisr (talk) 21:38, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

• (Review note) Welcome to the GAN!
• The reference about height will have to specify which source defines Marda's height.
  • Fixed Sanathestarr (talk) 10:36, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
• Given it's now sectioned, the dialogue between Marda and the Jedi (probably the lines where she's asking about the Padawan) can be added as a quote to the biography.
  • Added, let me know if it should be adjusted (the interaction has four lines, the two included in the current quote, "Jedi, do you have a Padawan?" and "No") Sanathestarr (talk) 10:36, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Yeah, the lines are pretty short, would make sense to have all of them there. The Padawan part in particular seems to be the most relevant.—spookywilloww^talk 00:40, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
      • Yeah, true, included the whole dialogue in the quote Sanathestarr (talk) 14:22, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
• I'd imagine an article for the unidentified planet they're on will need to be made as a stub and linked here.
  • The line in the book goes "ecclectic marketplace on- no, I won't say" and the only reference to it potentially being a planet is the word "planetside", so it's ambiguous enough that I didn't want to make a possibly incorrect assumption. (The way I see it, "planetside" could refer to a moon too, as "moonside" isn't a word to my knowledge) I can definitely stub the location and link it, but just wanted to be sure if it should be referred to as a planet Sanathestarr (talk) 10:36, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
    • You're welcome to stub it at unidentified astronomical object in that case if you prefer, since it matters less here (this isn't the location article itself being nominated.) I will generally note though that Wook will probably end up treating it as a planet in the end, as sources referring to moon surfaces don't use "planetside" as a term generally, we often see "moon's surface" or similar.—spookywilloww^talk 00:40, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
      • Done, astronomical object stubbed and linked in the article. Sanathestarr (talk) 14:22, 9 January 2024 (UTC)
• The Behind the scenes should look something like this (with the story and author swapped out, of course) for the Tales of Light and Life nominations. The main differences to note are that only the release year should be noted and the audiobook needn't be mentioned, since short stories don't need those per policy.
  • My bad, should be all good now hopefully Sanathestarr (talk) 10:36, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
• Additionally, if the Jedi only does appear in a flashback, the BtS should say "appeared in a flashback," with the {{Flash}} added to the end of the audiobook Appearances listing, as it's currently only appended to the top listing.—spookywilloww^talk 20:21, 4 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Corrected Sanathestarr (talk) 10:36, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
• (Review note) Copy-edit—some very super minor stuff not worth an objection but to keep an eye out for in your future noms—did fix up some passive tense to be active-tense worded.—spookywilloww^talk 04:28, 11 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Noted, thanks for informing me! Sanathestarr (talk) 09:30, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

• (Review note) Per Spooky!
• The Nihil require context Lewisr (talk) 05:16, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Done Sanathestarr (talk) 10:36, 5 January 2024 (UTC)
• Marda's pronouns aren't citable to the story, so you'll need to cite them to another source Lewisr (talk) 07:28, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Right, my bad, fixed Sanathestarr (talk) 09:31, 12 January 2024 (UTC)
    • All good, thanks for doing! Lewisr (talk) 21:38, 12 January 2024 (UTC)

Panther

• Some more minor (and unfortunately quite gory) details from the story I think should be included:
  • During the attack, Marda tore the Jedi's flesh with her claws and hands and thought that his flesh was very soft
  • The Jedi slipped in his own blood while trying to run from the Leveler
  • And I do think the whole her being covered in his blood thing and saying she's proud of it before smearing it on the walls should be included, even if it's more brief
  • Added the details Sanathestarr (talk) 20:20, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
• His height should be included in the body, usually best in the P&t
  • Done Sanathestarr (talk) 20:20, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
• While it's implied, I think it should be outright said that he was Force-sensitive somewhere in the body
  • Yeah you're right, fixed Sanathestarr (talk) 20:20, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
    • I'm not seeing this. It would work well in the first sentence of the bio. Panther436 (talk) 02:56, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
      • Sorry, misunderstood you and only added it into the intro, it's in the bio now too. Sanathestarr (talk) 15:10, 13 January 2024 (UTC)
• Like on Irisophant, it should be noted that Marda mentioned the Jedi in a record for her descendants, in line with the framing of the story Panther436 (talk) 17:38, 7 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Added Sanathestarr (talk) 20:20, 8 January 2024 (UTC)
• This might just be me misunderstanding, but I'm a little confused by the new date note. In this section of the story, Marda appears to be referencing a time when she begged for more responsibility from the Mother and didn't receive it, which would not be when she became the Guide of the Closed Fist because she didn't beg and was allowed more responsibility. This could be in reference to her petition to go to Jedha in PoD, but she also references asking to join the Children many times before that book's events. If I'm not missing something, I think it might be too vague to narrow it down. Panther436 (talk) 01:43, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
  • You would be correct. The note is fixed now, lew helped me find better information for it. Sanathestarr (talk) 11:50, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
    • Thank you! Marda being fifteen during all of Phase II is insane. Panther436 (talk) 22:22, 14 January 2024 (UTC)
