Toh My!

~~Canon info should be in the BTS first.~~
- Switched around. --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 16:40, June 17, 2018 (UTC)
~~In history, perhaps you could mention the Executor had Titans?~~ Tommy Macaroni 15:44, June 17, 2018 (UTC)
- Done. --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 16:40, June 17, 2018 (UTC)

~~You'll need to add a reference for 3 ABY since Complete Locations doesn't use the ABY dating system anywhere.~~ Ayrehead02 (talk) 08:45, June 30, 2018 (UTC)

~~The infobox image is linked to two Legends sources.~~--Vitus Infinitus^Talk 00:12, July 28, 2018 (UTC)
- In fact, the very same image appears in the canon version of the book. The only difference is the font of the labels. --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 06:59, July 28, 2018 (UTC)

I know you're not going to like this, but I firmly believe we should be using the actual picture of the vessel from the 2016 Canon version of Complete Locations. I fully understand your reason for wanting to use the Legends version of the image, that's it's essentially the exact same thing with the exception of the book's font. But I think it's that difference that we need to respect. If the images were exactly the same, I wouldn't raise this issue, but there is a difference in the source, no matter how minor, and I think we need to reflect that in our article for the sake of pure accuracy.

- I understand, but I'm unfortunately unable to address that objection right now, as I'm away on a month-long vacation. I won't be home (and thus unable to scan the book) until the 1st of september. But I'll try and find someone else with a copy and a scanner! --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 20:07, August 19, 2018 (UTC)
  - Please give us an update on this by August 29 (10 days since your last message). Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:32, August 20, 2018 (UTC)
    - Omicron was kind enough to not only upload the requested picture, but also add it to the article. --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 20:45, August 25, 2018 (UTC)
      - Excellent. Thank you, Omicron. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 14:12, August 27, 2018 (UTC)
~~The infobox's engine field should specify the repulsor units in the diagram.~~
- Added. --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 18:39, August 27, 2018 (UTC)
I think the intro can avoid needing to specify that the ship is alternatively referred to as the "Titan" in bold. That's not really an alternate name, just an abbreviation. It's like saying "The Millennium Falcon, also known as the Falcon...," which is just unnecessary. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 14:22, August 27, 2018 (UTC)
- ...and removed! --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 18:39, August 27, 2018 (UTC)
The source doesn't say this exactly. It only says that the Titans are Incom-made and used by the Empire. You could simply adjust this to say The Y-85 Titan dropship was designed by Incom Corporation and used by the Galactic Empire's military.: "The Y-85 Titan dropship was designed by Incom Corporation for use by the Galactic Empire's military."
- Fixed. --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 07:35, August 29, 2018 (UTC)
I would suggest just removing this sentence. It's not really necessary and doesn't add any extra understanding to the article, as the function of a dropship is self-explanatory: "Overall, it was similar in shape and purpose to the smaller Theta-class barge.[2]" Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 15:35, August 28, 2018 (UTC)
- It was less about describing the function of a dropship than pointing out the great visual similarities between the two models (not all dropships have this characteristic shape). But I can remove it anyway if you insist. --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 07:35, August 29, 2018 (UTC)
  - I would suggest removing it. I think any similarity is trivial and not worth mentioning without an explicit comparison. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 14:38, August 29, 2018 (UTC)
    - As you wish. --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 10:57, August 31, 2018 (UTC)
Going along with the previous objection, I would similarly suggest removing this portion of this sentence. It doesn't really add any extra context or understanding for this article subject: "...like the Y-45 armored transport hauler.[3]" Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 14:39, September 6, 2018 (UTC)
- If that's what it takes. --Lelal Mekha ^{(Audience Room)} 17:47, September 11, 2018 (UTC)
