Object

El Jefe
  • "Both of these parties were attacked by the gundarks, resulting in both of them deciding to attack the nest" Double "attack" IFYLOFD (Enter the Floydome) 02:37, October 16, 2013 (UTC)
    • Fixed. Commander Code-8 You lost the game! 09:27, October 18, 2013 (UTC)
Gund-ark
  • The opening sentence of the intro: "A nest was the home of the gundarks, a non-sentient predatory species, that lived on the moon Alaris Prime." This reads like a dictionary definition of the word "nest." Can you re-word it so that it's clearly talking about this particular nest?
    • How's that? Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 01:25, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
  • The sentence beginning with "The Wookiees, on advice from Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn..." is pretty long and run-on with a lot of commas. Can you split it up? Menkooroo (talk) 03:09, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
    • I probably just made that worse, didn't I? Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 01:25, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
Wiz
  • May I ask how was the nest "featured" in the sequel? You can also clarify that in the respective section. Winterz (talk) 23:33, December 5, 2013 (UTC)
    • Voila. Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 01:25, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
    • Actually that's not exactly what I asked. I understand that it was featured in the second game, but how? I mean, it was destroyed, so what exactly is its part in the game?
      • Ah wait, I get it. The player can repeat the mission with the expansion right? I was a bit confused. Winterz (talk) 17:57, December 19, 2013 (UTC)
  • Also, Gundarks should be removed from affiliation as they're not an organization per se.
    • Good point. Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 03:14, December 22, 2013 (UTC)
  • The Gundarks are referred to as non-sentient in the article yet in Gundark's article they're mentioned as semi-sentient. If they are indeed mentioned as non-sentient in the game, then we have two sources contradicting themselves and this needs to be explained in a reference. Winterz (talk) 18:04, December 19, 2013 (UTC)
    • I went ahead and had this checked, and it is non-sentient. I ref'd the nest and changed the gundark article. Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 03:14, December 22, 2013 (UTC)
Attack of the Clone
  • Missing ref in the article.
    • Result of a paragraph break, added. Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 21:59, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
  • The Bts mentions Clone Campaigns twice, which is rather repetitive and looks as though it can be condensed into a single mention.
    • Nixed. Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 21:59, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
  • A couple of notes: first, quotation marks should always be outside punctuation, i.e. "Building an Army," instead of "Building an Army", and also, the word "however" can only be used to link two independent clauses, which is why it was changed to "on the Wookiee warriors; however, they fought back." CC7567 (talk) 19:05, December 26, 2013 (UTC)
    • Indeed, thank you. Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 21:59, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

  • I've got more of a question on notability here... should this article exist? I'm just not positive that a nest for non-sentient beings, let alone an unnamed nest is really hitting any great level of notability. I think it sets a bit of a disturbing precedent, really. Thefourdotelipsis (talk) 03:38, October 25, 2013 (UTC)
    • I think its notable enough, the objective of the level is to attack the nest, and we've done articles for a lot less than this. Commander Code-8 You lost the game! 01:03, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
      • An objective of a level doesn't denote notability. If it did, then "water tank 4" from TOR would be notable or some such. Thefourdotelipsis (talk) 01:13, October 27, 2013 (UTC)
        • I think it's notable enough, being the only nest on the moon, and being the last line of defense between the gundarks on the moon and extinction. Menkooroo (talk) 03:12, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
        • It's a mentioned location so that makes it notable enough. Winterz (talk) 23:30, December 5, 2013 (UTC)
  • Hey folks, I figured I would take this over for Code-8. Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 01:25, December 16, 2013 (UTC)
    • Thanks for that man, I'm sorry about leaving, but I'm getting responsibility and stuff :P Commander Code-8 You lost the game! 11:10, December 24, 2013 (UTC)
