  • In the Infobox, you listed Onderon as Vix's homeworld. Do we know for certain that Vix is from Onderon, or do we just know that he lived on Onderon?
    • Just that he lived on Onderon, and as far as I know, this is acceptable. OLIOSTER (talk) 16:18, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
      • As I pointed out in CAN of the article, if he's like a local, I think it's safe to assume he's local. –Tm_T (Talk) 05:53, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
        • I don't see how we can assume that just because he lived on Onderon during his adult life then he's from Onderson. He could have been from Rodia or somewhere else and moved to Onderon. Kilson(Let's have a chat) 17:13, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
          • That's one of the things that has been bothering me, we don't have any clear policy what we count as homeworld and what not. For me it's any planet the person is living extensively (like, all his adulthood), unless there's some other sources. I think our sources aren't any more consistent than we are on this subject. –Tm_T (Talk) 17:39, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
            • If I may add my two cents here, we try as much as possible to go only with what the source says. Even if a person lives on a certain world, we don't treat that world as his/her homeworld unless the source explicitly says that it was. That way, we don't have to be responsible for fan misinterpretation—blame it on the source. :P CC7567 (talk) 18:59, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
              • Homeworld removed. Now stop fighting mom and dad! OLIOSTER (talk) 09:07, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
  • "visited the cantina while on Onderon, she briefly spoke with Vix, who spoke of nothing but the swoop races." The repetition of spoke is a bit odd. Please change one of them to a different word.
  • Otherwise, looks good. Nice job Olio. Kilson(Let's have a chat) 16:14, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
Vix
  • Can you cut down on the intro a little bit? It's nearly the length of the body and almost identical in content. If we're talking the absolutely essential stuff, it would probably be OK to see the mention of his convo with the Exile go. Your call, but I would like to see it shortened by a sentence or two.
  • That's all. I couldn't find anything to correct! :) Also, I miss your painting CANs. Menkooroo 11:21, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
    • Still LOTS of paintings in SWG. More will come! :P OLIOSTER (talk) 12:06, June 22, 2011 (UTC)
Attack of the Clone
  • "Even after an attack on the cantina by Colonel Tobin of the Onderonian military": here it sounds like Tobin attacks the cantina itself and everyone in it, but in the body it's only stated that he attacked someone inside the cantina, and these really aren't the same things. Please clarify.
  • Another minor objection, but the article doesn't refer to the Unidentified Iziz cantina by name in the intro, yet it gets called the "Iziz Cantina" in the body. Which is correct? (And is the cantina officially named?) CC7567 (talk) 01:17, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
    • Addressed. Its is called "Iziz Cantina" on the map screen but no one gives it a specific name as far as I know. OLIOSTER (talk) 16:03, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
