  • Reference 4 needs to cite the specific entry that this CSWE information is coming from. It would not be inappropriate to use the CSWECite template within this manual ref note.
  • Also in regards to that ref note, the wars could just have easily taken place in 25,053 BBY. Is there anything that specifically suggests a great time passed between the wars and the Republic's formation? The better way to word this is "by 25,053," which is basically saying "in or before." Please amend this in all appropriate places throughout the article. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:09, December 31, 2017 (UTC)
  • Some more referencing stuff. All external links must include an archive link where possible. Currently, Reference 3 needs one.
  • In Reference 9, Timeline 15 should use the {{TORweb}} template. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:08, February 13, 2018 (UTC)
    • Not sure what I'm doing wrong, but the {{TORweb}} template won't work when I insert the URL. Perhaps I need to use the {{Holonet}} template instead? I've used the animated .swf file of the Galactic Timeline page in its place, if that's fine.--Jace Onasi (talk) 07:22, February 25, 2018 (UTC)
      • Actually, ignoring the template thing for the time being, there's a larger issue at play here. Timeline 15 was canceled, according to that article. Unless we have some explicit confirmation to the contrary, canceled content in Legends should not be considered canon. Meaning you shouldn't be using this information in the article. Is there something I'm missing here? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:40, February 25, 2018 (UTC)
      • I understand the situation now. Rather than linking to the canceled Timeline 15 article, just use whichever template (TOR or Holonet) is needed to link to here. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:01, February 25, 2018 (UTC)
  • In the "previous" infobox field and the succession box at the bottom of the page, the Xim Wars is sourced to The Essential Atlas, which apparently makes no mention of these Unification Wars, since it's not listed in this article's Sources list. You're therefore using unspecific, unrelated bits of information to reach the conclusion that the Xim Wars predated this conflict. In such cases, it's always best to write a manual reference note explaining what logic you're using to reach this conclusion for the benefit of the reader.
  • Same goes for the First Great Schism. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:26, March 3, 2018 (UTC)

  • Just one point from me - in the introduction you refer the conflict as "the Wars", whereas later in the article it is referred to as "the war" and "the wars". Could you please ensure that the article is consistent in terms of whether "Wars" is capitalized and in terms of whether it is referred to "wars" or "war". If any of the sources cited refer to it is "the Wars" then it would be fine to use that term or otherwise just "the wars" would be more appropriate. Jinzler (talk) 22:01, January 17, 2018 (UTC)
  • A nice little article. Jinzler (talk) 22:01, January 17, 2018 (UTC)

  • The picture "Back to back.png" is not fitting to this article, as it depicts two Jedi wielding modern lightsabers that did not exist at the time. Instead the force-imbued blades were used. Even protosabers did not see much use all the way up to a Hundred-year darkness, and that was millennia afterwards. Modern lightsabers appeared only circa 5000 BBY. —Unsigned comment by UchuuEngineer (talk • contribs)

  • Here's a link to the previous nomination.--Jace Onasi (talk) 04:18, November 28, 2017 (UTC)
  • I can confirm that Star Wars: Complete Vehicles does mention the Unification Wars, though it does not provide any additional information from the other cross-section books. I've added it as a source.--Jace Onasi (talk) 04:18, November 28, 2017 (UTC)
  • In the previous nomination, Imperators wanted feedback on the image of the Jedi. The image isn't time-period appropriate, since it is from just after the New Sith Wars. The Jedi also didn't have lightsabers back then. There aren't really any images on the wiki that would appropriately depict the Jedi of the time, however. Check the previous nomination to see the images we suggested.--Jace Onasi (talk) 04:27, November 28, 2017 (UTC)
