- What is a featured article?
So just what makes a featured article? Well, we've prepared a list just in case someone should ask that, and it is as follows.
An article must…
- …be well-written and detailed.
- …be unbiased, non-point of view.
- …be sourced with all available sources and appearances.
- …follow the Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and all other policies on Wookieepedia.
- …following the review process, be stable, i.e. it does not change significantly from day to day and is not the subject of ongoing edit wars. This does not apply to vandalism and protection or semi-protection as a result of vandalism.
- …not be tagged with any sort of improvement tags (i.e. more sources, expand, etc).
- …have a proper lead that gives a good summary of the topic and can be used for the front page featured box.
- …have no more than 3 redlinks and none in the introduction, infobox, or any templates.
- …have significant information from all sources and appearances, especially a biography for character articles.
- …not have been previously featured on the Main Page. Otherwise, it can only be restored to featured status.
- …be completely referenced for all available material and sources. See Wookieepedia:Sourcing for more information.
- …have all quotes and images sourced.
- …provide at least one quote on the article. A leading quote at the beginning of the article will be required only if there is quotable dialogue by or about the subject. Although quotes may be placed in the body of the article, a maximum of one quote is allowed at the beginning of each section.
- …include a "Personality and traits" section on all character articles.
- …ideally include a "Powers and abilities" section for Force-sensitive characters and a "Skills and abilities" section for non–Force-sensitive characters, where said powers and/or abilities are stipulated.
- …include a reasonable number of images of sufficient quality to illustrate the article, if said images are available.
- …pass review by the Inquisitorius review panel.
- …counting the introduction and "Behind the scenes" material, be at least 1000 words long (not including captions, quotes, or headers, etc).
For more information on what makes a featured article, see What is a featured article?
How to nominate:
- First, find an article you feel is worthy of featured status, putting it at the bottom of the list below; see criteria above. Note that a previously featured article cannot be featured on the Main Page again; however, it can be restored to featured status.
- Add {{FAnom}} at the top of the article you are nominating and save the page. NOTE: If the article you are nominating has been nominated for FA one or more times previously, you will need to specify a new subpage name as a parameter in the template (e.g. {{FAnom|Lorum ipsum (second nomination)}}).
- Open the redlink (in a new tab or window, if possible) and fill out the form according to the instructions provided.
- Copy the code provided to the bottom of this page.
- Purge the article to update the template.
- Others will object to the nomination if they disagree that the article is good enough; they will then supply reasons for doing so, and ways to improve the article (errors, style, organization, images, notability, sources).
- Supporters adjust the article until the objectors (with reasonable objections) are satisfied.
- The article is placed on the featured article list and added to the front page queue.
- Be sure to place your signature in the "Nominated by" line when the nomination is posted for voting.
How to vote:
- Before doing anything, be sure to read the article completely, keeping a sharp eye out for mistakes.
- Afterward, compare the article to the criteria listed above, and then either support or object the article's nomination.
- Please note that in order for your vote to count, you must have 50 mainspace edits.
- If you object, please supply concrete reasons for doing so, and how it can be improved. Please cite which rule your objection falls under, if possible. Failure to do so may result in your objection being considered invalid.
- As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors. Do not strike other users' objections; it is up to the objector to review the changes and strike if they are satisfied.
- Once the minimum nomination period has passed, an article that has achieved the required number of supporting votes and has no outstanding objections will be added to the queue and be officially known as a "featured article." A nomination will be considered successful if one of the following criteria is met:
- five supporting Inquisitor votes and no outstanding objections after at least a week;
- four supporting Inquisitor votes, plus two additional supporting votes and no outstanding objections after at least a week;
- three supporting Inquisitor votes, plus four additional supporting votes and no outstanding objections after at least a week; or
- seven supporting Inquisitor votes and no outstanding objections after at least two days.
- Per Inquisitorius consensus, no Inquisitor may use their Inqvote on their own nominations.
Also remember to add {{FAnom}} at the top of the article you are nominating.
Every day the next article in the queue will be highlighted on the Main Page as featured, marked with the {{Featured}} template and removed from the list of nominations. The beginning of the article then appears on the Main Page via the {{Featured article}} template. Nominations that are inactive with outstanding objections for three weeks will be eliminated from the nominations list by the Inquisitorius.

Prepare to be savaged…
Edit
The BTS reads as if it was known all along that Brie and Lumiya were the same person, but I don't believe that was the case. Were they not separate characters that were later retconned into one? If so, the BTS should note which source specifically established their unified identity. If this was the plan all along, however, I guess I misunderstood my EU. :) ~Savage
18:07, August 10, 2011 (UTC)- The comics make clear that Brie was intended to be Lumiya all along. The only retcon I am aware of was identified in The Essential Chronology with regard to her Emperor's Hand status.—Tommy 9281 Wednesday, August 10, 2011, 23:36 UTC
- OK, I'm reading through Marvel now, and guess I got some bad intel. I'll try to give the article a full review soon. ~Savage

OK, on to the lead: "His Imperial Majesty" seems quite strange in an encyclopedia article, and even seems a bit POV to me. Why not change it to just "Galactic Emperor"? He certainly wasn't "Imperial Majesty" to the Rebels.A bit of context on the New Order is probably warranted.- Addressed.
"the latter of which" --> since the sentence is getting kind of long, I'd suggest either breaking it down a bit (either into two sentences or with a semicolon) or indicating "the latter goal of which" or somesuch to indicate what "latter" is referring to.- Addressed.
Since expatriation refers to nations and states, I'm not sure we can use it for Luke's leaving the Alliance. Perhaps exile?- Addressed.
It seems a bit strange to call her lightwhip infamous at first mention; it takes time to gain infamy, so it's almost anachronistic unless you add some clunky qualifier, like "which would become infamous." Probably best to just ditch it on first mention.- Addressed.
Lumiya's "defaulting" to Mistress of the Sith needs a bit of explanation. Why would their deaths change her ranking/title? ~Savage
00:55, August 29, 2011 (UTC)- Addressed.
Is her "similar Imperial program" worth an article? ~Savage
02:32, September 8, 2011 (UTC)
- Addressed.
- Addressed.
- Addressed.
- Addressed.
- Lmao, funny how the eye's get crossed. Addressed.
- I agree that it becomes more detailed with the transition, which is mostly cause by the absence of illustrations. That's because there is much (and I mean waaaaaaaay too much) conversation, much more than actual action. To remove much of what you describe will cause significant gaps in context. I know it does seem slightly PBP, but again, I truly feel those details are necessary to provide sufficient context.—Tommy 9281 Friday, November 18, 2011, 17:15 UTC
I'll give you some examples of stuff I think could be trimmed or summarized shortly. For now, though, I want to finish the full review. ~Savage
17:14, December 18, 2011 (UTC)- OK, sorry for taking months on this -- But I honestly just don't have time to read through this article again (40+ pages printed) and give examples of the excessive detail that I think goes beyond what's necessary. It's a well-written piece, mind you; my hat's off to you, Tommy! Unfortunately, I'm just not in a position to give examples of where I think the fat needs to be trimmed. I'll go ahead and strike this objection, so I won't hold up the nomination. But I won't be able to support due to the over-detail. Sorry. :/ ~Savage

- i don't have it, I'm working on getting the material, unless of course you could provide via email. Thanks for the review, Bob, please advise if anything further is required.
- I read the entire article and it only mentions Lumiya once, with no information that isn't already provided for in my article.—Tommy 9281 Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 23:18 UTC
Here's what I'd consider pertinent: The storyline featuring Luke after he thinks he's killed her was a personal favorite of Michelinie and Simonson. In fact, Simonson wanted to extend the arc by a couple of issues. (p. 10). But, yeah, the stuff about post-op Lumiya is pretty sparse. ~Savage
12:58, February 29, 2012 (UTC)- Addressed, but now I have 2 redlinks for which I have no ability to create articles for. This presents a problem...—Tommy 9281 Friday, March 23, 2012, 01:29 UTC
- I can fill them in, but I wonder if they should have articles at all. The article is useful and worthy of an article in my opinion, but it is from a non-licensed source, so perhaps the magazine it's in and the author aren't notable for our purposes. ~Savage

The Dolphin Attacks
Edit
Disclaimer: Keep in mind that this is only a preliminary review, and please contact me on my talk page if I forget to address any comments as I occasionally do.--ID-21 Dolphin
(Talk) 19:03, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
- First of all, the intro should be cut to roughly 3/4 of its current size. I notice that you've been cutting it down over the last couple months, just a little more would be fine.
- The lead quote is very vague and uninteresting; essentially it only states her name and her alias, which are already stated in the prose of the first paragraph. The quote at the top of revision is better suited because it offers more of an insight into her history and personality. Otherwise, if you can find another really good quote, I'm always open.
- Speaking of quotes, the quote in the "legacy" section is waaaaay too long to serve its purpose. I would suggest keeping just the first four lines or otherwise the third and fourth line by themselves.
- And the quote in "Seducing a Jedi" is also too long, which can be a little annoying for monologue. I would cut it down from "'Take what I have to teach you, Jacen'" to the end which makes it a much more concise and powerful quote.
- In the first part of the biography, the Carida and Chinshassa images should be replaced with images of Lumiya herself as is preferable. There's a nice NEGTC images that was delted from the site some time ago for being unused, but it would probably fit best there. Other images like that of Flint and that of Rebel pilot Skywalker could be changed to some ofLumiya, since comics are usually high on images.
- Also, for images, this one seems like too much of a stretch from Lumiya and the events in the book to belong in this section. This image of Lumiya would fit much better IMO seeing as it's always better to include images of the subject if possible.
- I would add an imagecat to the Appearances section.
- Some of the more verbose parts of the intro could be cut down; for example, "His Imperial Majesty Palpatine" is a little too grandiose and could be changed to simply "Emperor Palpatine".
- Also, Lumiya should be mentioned as her main name in the first sentence of the intro, since having it at the end of the paragraph seems too far.
- Otherwise great work. That's all for now.--ID-21 Dolphin

- And by the way, that nomination comment is hilarious. :) --ID-21 Dolphin
(Talk) 19:04, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
- The intro is well in proportion with the article proper. It was once said that there is a subtlety to quote selection that few writers possess; such is the case with the lead quote. Other things like image and quote choice, etc. are matters of preference; I happened to write the current version of the article, complete with images that reflect the particular sections in which they are found. Basically, each of these preliminary objections qualifies as a matter of stylistic opinion rather than issues that warrant objection.—Tommy 9281 Sunday, August 21, 2011, 19:15 UTC
- These objections have been addressed for more than three weeks now. I request that they be stricken by the Inquisitorius.—Tommy 9281 Friday, September 16, 2011, 04:52 UTC
- Objection(s) overridden by Inquisitorius 03:36, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
Jujiggum
Edit
In Joining the Rebellion: "Enraged by the revelation, the fabrication went, Brie sought out the Alliance and decided to enlist." A word missing here? (Or am I just reading this incorrectly…?)- Addressed.
- Absolutely fantastic stuff so far, Tommy. I'll continue with Lieutenant Brie. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 15:31, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
"on a mission to D'rinba IV to disable the superlaser of the second Death Star." Link for the mission? Were they successful or not?"Shalyvane's Em'liy natives ambushed the Rebels and forced them to take cover." Link for this skirmish, too?- Continuing with Rebirth later. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 19:46, December 1, 2011 (UTC)
- I'll pick up with Nagai–Tof conflict. Apologies for having to do this review in such small increments; feel free to work through these objections as I go. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 03:29, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
Link for the first ambush on and later mission to/skirmish on Kinooine? What about the subsequent rescue mission?- Redlink for the first, second one is the Skirmish on Kinooine.—Tommy 9281 Wednesday, December 28, 2011, 00:51 UTC
Link for the mission to destroy the Prophets of the Dark Side? I'll continue with Striking from the Shadows later.Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 21:11, December 17, 2011 (UTC)- Redlinked.
"She made her way back to the Yuuzhan Vong, mid-year, whereupon she inveigled her way into the confidence of Tsavong Lah himself." I'm not catching the mid-year reference here, and I'm not certain on what you mean with the wording, either. I'll continue with Puppetmaster.Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 16:47, December 22, 2011 (UTC)- When you say not catching mid-year, what do you mean? The source describes the events as having occurred mid year. And the wording has also been adjusted. Thanks thus far for the review Jon, I look forward to the rest. I'll be taking care of the redlinks asap.—Tommy 9281 Wednesday, December 28, 2011, 00:51 UTC
- No problem. For the mid-year, I'm not sure exactly to which year you're referring (the last one you named was 25 ABY, but I'm pretty sure this was later). Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 03:31, December 28, 2011 (UTC)
- When you say not catching mid-year, what do you mean? The source describes the events as having occurred mid year. And the wording has also been adjusted.

"…but dismissed any further conversation as they ascended Dour floors in a turbolift…" Typo? Continuing with Sith Master later.Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 18:00, January 6, 2012 (UTC)- Lol addressed.
"Under the assumption that Lumiya had intentions of vengeance on Ben Skywalker, the Skywalkers immediately intercepted the Colonel…" Please mention at some point before this that Jacen became a Colonel; otherwise, the reader might get confused.- Addressed.
"The meeting was a twofold trap, however, as Lumiya agreed to also venture to Roqoo Depot under to secretly oversee Ben Skywalker's safe passage to the Anakin." Typo? I'll continue with Interference asap.Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 16:16, January 20, 2012 (UTC)- Addressed.
What was the "Syo package?""…but was surprised to find Alema Rar also present and intent on killing Mara Jade Skywalker, also on station with her husband, and the fast approaching Han Solo." Do you mean that Rar was intent on killing Mara and Han? Either way, please make this a bit clearer.Continuing with Victory later. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 16:03, January 24, 2012 (UTC)"When she lost her footing and fell, dropping her lightwhip into the chasm in the process, Skywalker saved her, only to decapitate her as she recovered." Could you make it a bit more clear that his saving her was only for the purpose to ensure her death? As is, it's a bit confusing as to why he'd save her and then decapitate her.- Addressed.
In Legacy: link for the battle in which Seer died?At some points you refer to Ship as an "it," and on at least one other occasion as a "he." I don't personally have a preference regarding which one you use, since canonical arguments could be made for both; I think it would just be best to be consistent within the article.I'm not sure that the last two sentences of the Appearance subsection really fit there.- The part about the protein drinks was not so relevant and thus removed, but because of the significance of her two identities, the other information most appropriately belongs where it is, given the chronological presentation of the information.—Tommy 9281 Tuesday, February 28, 2012, 03:13 UTC
- Fair enough. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 14:43, February 28, 2012 (UTC)

Is the attribution for the quote of the "Lumiya" subsection of Personality in the right order? Didn't Rar speak the first line? I'll continue with Interactions.Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 19:58, January 27, 2012 (UTC)- Addressed.
- Picking up with the BTS asap. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 16:02, January 31, 2012 (UTC)
- Review complete (finally). Apologies again for taking so long; absolutely fantastic work. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 16:55, February 11, 2012 (UTC)
Floyd
Edit
Intro: "Brie's dedication to the tenets of the Imperial New Order doctrine garnered the interest of his chief enforcer," The way this is worded is somewhat vague. Reword it to make it more clear that "he" refers to Palpatine.- Addressed.
For much of the intro there's no real sense of the time period and/or years that the events take place.- I disagree. Do you want years to be specifically stated?—Tommy 9281 Friday, March 23, 2012, 01:09 UTC
- Couldn't hurt. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 01:21, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
- I disagree. Do you want years to be specifically stated?—Tommy 9281 Friday, March 23, 2012, 01:09 UTC
Intro: "as the foremost of their pupils despite her deficient training" This makes it sound like she was poorly trained, rather than her training being disrupted by the deaths of Palpatine and Vader. If it's the latter, this should be reworded.- Addressed.
Intro: "Purpose-driven toward vengeance against Luke Skywalker and the Alliance," You have this here, but no reason why she would desire revenge.- Addressed.
Intro: Link to the "critical defeat" she suffered during the Nagai invasion?- Addressed.
Intro: Regarding the Nagai-Tof War, you characterize it as an invasion of the galaxy, rather than a war against the Tofs, then mention the Tofs later in the section. They needs to be more context here.- Addressed.
Intro: Context on the Sith oracle stone.- Addressed.
Intro: Context on the Yuuzhan Vong.- Addressed.
Intro: At the end of the section you call Luke Skywalker her "one-time lover-turned-nemesis", but no previous mention is given of such a relationship.- Addressed.
Early life: Link to the "similar Imperial program"?- Addressed.
- More to come. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 02:09, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
Training on Carida: Context on Bantha Squad.- Addressed.
Any reason why she would turn down the opportunity to fly the shuttle to Carida?Training on Carida: You should probably add a mention of the "bug walker" nickname to better connect the recounting of the event with the quote.- Addressed.
Lieutenant Brie: "A lobot" doesn't seem right. I don't think that lobot was the real term for what he was. Cyborg is probably better. Thoughts?- Addressed.
The first sentence of the "Alliance heroine" section rambles on pretty long and should probably be split up.- Addressed.
In fact, much of the section has this same problem.- Addressed.
You've been alternating somewhat between "X-wing" and "X-Wing". Make it consistent.- Addressed.
Is there any info on how she takes the name Lumiya?You mention Lumiya's resemblance to Vader during her dealings with the Mecrosa Order, but no previous mention is made of this. Kinda comes out of nowhere.- Addressed.
Events on Herdessa: "As the princess fled after Suzu, the humiliated Lumiya vowed to deal with both the naysayer and the offworlder who had interceded on her behalf." This sentence and the ones before don't really make it clear which one is which.- Addressed.
Again in the next paragraph with the "insurgent".- Addressed.
A little more context on Den Siva would be beneficial.- More to come. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 01:21, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
Context on Come-Up Flector.- Come-Up Flector is the context. That's like asking for context for Sith Lord or something.—Tommy 9281 Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 23:53 UTC
- I disagree. Something like Jedi or Sith can go uncontextualized, because its something pretty much everyone who would be on Wookieepedia would know. Come-Up Flector is different, I'm on Wookieepedia all the time and even I have no idea what it is. Just contextualize it or find a different way to describe it. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 02:25, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
- Addressed.

I think that the New Republic saying Lumiya was killed at the end of the Nagai-Tof War could be mentioned earlier.- Addressed.
Any reason why Carnor Jax would turn on Lumiya?Return of the Emperor: "Jax's links to Anor were lost upon his death on Yinchorr, and Lumiya was unable to respond to the individual's advances." What advances? Did Anor try to contact her afterward?- Addressed.
"Although her chaperons were captured by the invaders, Lumiya eluded them to plot her next course of action." "Them" means the Yuuzhan Vong, right? Make it a little more clear.- Addressed.
In "A plan for the galaxy", you give the impression that Vergere was willing to ally with the One Sith and the Rule of One, but the previous section makes it quite clear that she was strictly adherent to the Rule of Two. Please clear this up.- Addressed.
LotF sections could use some paragraph breaks.- I disagree. The paragraphs are adequate size given the information and the article size as a whole.—Tommy 9281 Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 23:53 UTC
- Some of these paragraphs are monstrous in size. You don't have to break up all of them, but a few, like the first paragraph of "Reunion" for example, definitely need breaks. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 00:30, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
- Addressed.

Context on the Galactic Alliance Guard.Context on what exactly the World Brain was.I think "monstrosity" is a bit POV.- Addressed.
Context on why Alema wanted revenge against the Solos.- Addressed.
- More to come. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 02:12, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
Reunion: "Under the assumption that Lumiya had intentions of vengeance on Ben Skywalker, the Skywalkers immediately intercepted Solo, who had since received an Alliance Colonel's commission, was en route to Hapes on board the Anakin Solo, and related their discoveries and their decision to remove their son from active GAG duty." This sentence runs on and doesn't really add up correctly.- Addressed.
I think you should make it more clear that number 357 was the amendment that Lumiya added.- Addressed.
"From the meeting she also learned that Ben Skywalker defeated Byalfin Dyur, whom she suspected to hear from soon, and unfavorably." What exactly does this mean? She suspected to hear from him unfavorably?- addressed.
"When the potential for opposition in the gallery manifested, Lumiya put it down," How so?- Addressed.
- Will continue with P&T shortly. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 00:30, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
Opinions, opinions…
Edit
In the Personality section header, shouldn't it be "Brie" as opposed to "Shira;" or even "Shira Brie?" Since we use surnames when referring to an individual throughout the article, should the headers not be the one of the suggestions aforementioned? Other than that, great work, Tommy!—Jedi Kasra (comlink) 07:19, May 21, 2012 (UTC)- Addressed. Thanks for the review, Jedi Kasra. Please advise if anything further is required.—Tommy 9281 Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 00:32 UTC
- Will do, friend.—Jedi Kasra (comlink) 13:55, May 30, 2012 (UTC)
- Addressed. Thanks for the review, Jedi Kasra. Please advise if anything further is required.—Tommy 9281 Wednesday, May 30, 2012, 00:32 UTC
Comments
Edit
- Special thanks to Menkooroo, for providing much of the behind the scenes material. Tremendous thanks to Master Jonathan, who provided a stellar copy edit and with zeal. This nomination is dedicated to Harrar, who initially began this project with me, but has since left the site to pursue other endeavors. Here's to you, my friend, thank you.—Tommy 9281 Tuesday, July 12, 2011, 22:20 UTC
- Lumiya should be nominates as good article.--Nihilus 16:36, August 21, 2011 (UTC)
- Menkooroo's pointed out that there's no obvious consensus on this (or that the consensus is perhaps against my opinion?), but in my view, Chewbacca on first mention should perhaps be called something else than simpy a "Wookiee." Everyone else in the text gets to be called by their rank or role, but he's only his species. Again, my view, and I do intend to start a SH thread about this eventually, but I wanted to bring it up at least as a comment. Continuing review slowly but surely. :) ~Savage

For the third time, there are outstanding objections more than three weeks old. It took talk page reminders to get the first two instances addressed; when a nom by anybody is so consistently neglected, it should face the rules. Menkooroo 17:59, February 21, 2012 (UTC)

- There's no need to get defensive or accuse me of having any sort of agenda.

Quick skim through:
In the meantime, Qel-Droma became well known by the Alderaanian nobility, who largely disapproved of whatever he did and looked upon him with disdain. Why did they look at him with disdain? What did he do?- Source doesn't elaborate. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 16:35, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
- Fair enough. StarNeptuneTalk to me! 00:19, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
- Source doesn't elaborate. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 16:35, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
Amanoa, a Force-sensitive herself, was hesitant to work with such young Jedi, but Qel-Droma quickly dismissed her concerns. Maybe go into detail as to why she was hesitant to work with young Jedi, and how Ulic dismissed her concerns?- Expanded. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 22:59, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
After the slaying of Satal Keto, Qel-Droma returned to within the Iron Citadel with his new flame, Aleema. While Qel-Droma recuperated from various injuries, Keto gave him a powerful Sith amulet which had originally belonged to Satal. Maybe reword this so that it specifies that Aleema's last name is Keto as well?- Fixed. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 22:59, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
As Toq and Cay went off to deal with the guards, Sunrider tried to convince Qel-Droma to leave Empress Teta with her, as she fended off Keto's dark illusions all the while. Again, maybe clarify that this is referring to Aleema Keto?- I don't think it's needed. Satal is dead by that time, Aleema is the only Keto left. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 22:59, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, you're right. The clearup of the previous sentence makes this complaint moot. StarNeptuneTalk to me! 00:19, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
- I don't think it's needed. Satal is dead by that time, Aleema is the only Keto left. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 22:59, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
Upon learning the Force Harvester's location on Raxus Prime from Qel-Droma's spirit, Dooku had the Harvester dug up, and began to charge it using a number of unsuspecting Republic targets. Does the source mention why Ulic would disclose that information, especially since he died as a redeemed Jedi? Did Dooku trick him into it? Is it an echo of Ulic's time as a Sith that Dooku was speaking to?- The New Essential Chronology doesn't elaborate. I was kind of confused too. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 16:35, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Wars
Edit
In the bio, the first indication of a timeline comes in the "Trouble on Onderon" section. I'm wondering if you can give approximate dates to his birth and childhood, even if just "in the years before the blah blah." Currently, a casual fan could read the first section of the bio and not know in which era it took place.- How does it look now?
Tott Doneeta's full name is dropped a lot in the article --- eight times in the bio, and four in p&t/p&a. For someone who shows up so often, is the full namedrop necessary so many times?- Shaved off a couple full name drops. Still, I only tried to use his full name when he hadn't been mentioned for a while, because it kinda seemed wrong just to call him "Doneeta" when he hadn't been there in a little bit.
Jinzler recently added two sources; any new info there?Menkooroo 03:37, March 12, 2012 (UTC)- Doesn't seem to be.
The second paragraph of "Attack of the cultists" has the same ref (currently ref [12]) twice in a row. Was the latter ref supposed to be something else, maybe whatever reveals that Ommin had a disease? I guess that needs to be sourced to something, since his article doesn't mention a disease and claims that his flesh decayed under the weight of the dark side. Maybe this disease should be redlinked, too.- Nothing weighty like that. Just a mistake is all :P He didn't actually have a wasting disease, and the dark side was decaying him, but it didn't seem like the proper place to get into that stuff right there.
I pipelinked Force sight to the part where he uses the Force to see where his eyes cannot. If this is appropriate, could it be mentioned in Powers and abilities?- Mentioned.
The new Jedi in the second paragraph of "Battle with the dark side" kind of come out of nowhere. Could they be introduced earlier as arriving with the rocket-jumpers and Nomi?Menkooroo 02:02, March 14, 2012 (UTC)- Well, he doesn't seem to encounter them until then. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 00:40, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
- Yeah, I guess mentioning them in the previous paragraph would be a little weird. Could the second paragraph at least mention why they're there; ie, identify them as part of the Republic team?
- Done.

Not an objection, but I split a long paragraph in two in the last sub-section of "Fall." Take a look and see if it's OK.Menkooroo 21:54, March 15, 2012 (UTC)- Looks fine. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 14:39, March 16, 2012 (UTC)
I've added a few redlinks; it's currently one over the limit with four.- Killed one, will get the rest later.
"Schemes" mentions that the Senate is captive, but this could imply something as simple as captivation --- can it be explicitly stated that they're under a Sith spell?Menkooroo 02:22, March 17, 2012 (UTC)- Done.
I'm wondering if the information in "Legacy" can be presented chronologically. I think it would probably be OK to introduce his tomb early on but not mention the Dark Reaper and the infiltration of the tomb until after the Vima/Zayne/Gnost-Dural stuff. Since proper chronology should always be the goal, can you give it a try and see how it looks?- Check it out now.
Since the NEC also has an in-universe equivalent, do you think it's noteworthy at the end of "Legacy?"- Mentioned.
The first two paragraphs of the P&T end with very similar sentences about his underestimation of the dark side being his downfall. Any chance they could be combined to avoid repetition?Menkooroo 18:27, March 17, 2012 (UTC)- Reworked it. Check it out. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 21:37, March 17, 2012 (UTC)
Hair, eye, and skin color should be somewhere in the article, per the 2011 Mofference's consensus of no-infobox-exclusivity. Sith Empire (Great Sith War) is also only linked to in the infobox; I'd add it to the intro and bio myself, but I trust you much more than me to be able to correctly distinguish between it and the Brotherhood of the Sith.:)- Mentioned.
- Go for Sith Empire (Great Sith War) too. Also in the intro if it's possible.

The BTS seems to conflate Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game (WEG) with the Star Wars Roleplaying Game (WOTC). You could probably fix this without changing the sentence by simply linking to roleplaying game.- Fixed.
The interview with Tom Veitch revealed that he originally wrote a different conclusion to Ulic's saga, and that he liked it better than what actually came to be (as written by Anderson). Could this be mentioned in BTS?- Mentioned.
In the BTS: Per my own instinct as well as precedents, I believe that the differences between the comics and the audio adaptations should be explicitly spelled out. If they're as minor as dialogue differences, a single sentence would do, but if they're more major, I think the article should explain how. The precedents I'm thinking of concern non-canon info (Executor and Wedge Antilles), but conflicting canon info seems like a slice from the same pie. Currently, I feel like there's missing info. With that said, are the differences enough to warrant a twoconflicting template?- Edit: Here's a better precedent on the differences between two versions. Does it make sense, or am I crazy? Menkooroo 04:26, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
- I'm not sure about this. I went case-by-case through the continuity differences, and the ones I included are the only ones that are really somewhat substantial and, in my view, warranted a mention in the BtS. The differences that I don't mention are really minor. If you want, I can make it more comprehensive.
- If they're pretty minor differences in dialogue or actions in battle or whatever, could we just get a sentence or two explaining that, similar to what's in the BTS of Gudb? Gudb states "...the inconsistencies are limited to minor changes in dialogue." Something a bit less vague than the current "discrepancies in the telling of his exploits" would probably do it.

A couple of categories seem off: "Pre-Ruusan Jedi Masters" and "Jedi Guardians." The latter isn't mentioned in the article itself.- Changed.
And finally: the Wikipedia link in "External links" redirects to "List of Star Wars characters;" a little digging reveals that a Wikipedia editor turned the article into a redirect just over one year ago due to a lack of notability. With that in mind, linking to Wikipedia here might not be appropriate anymore. Alternatively, you could write the Wikipedia article and include proof of notability, but I won't ask you to do that. :P- Too much work! Removed.
- That's all from me. I want to note here how well-done this article is. You always write great articles, but I think this was your best work. My copy-edit was mostly just linking. This was a truly fantastic effort, and I always love seeing such iconic SW characters --- that is, characters who have (at one point had :P) their own Wikipedia articles --- featured. Makes me want to write Cade. Menkooroo 03:08, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

Edit
I know you're not a noob, but could you reload your infobox? :P- Done.
"Ulic Qel-Droma was, during different times in his life," I don't know if it's just me, but it sounds awkwardly by stating "different times in his life." Possibly changing that word could help make this sentence flow better. "parts of his life" maybe?- Changed. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 23:12, April 22, 2012 (UTC)

In the infobox, "Advanced" and "Exotic" sound like the names for two variations. If that's the case, I personally think it makes more sense to swap the contents of the model and type fields around."A quick forward swing [...] fanned out in a wildly random pattern." This sentence confuses me; how can a single disc fan out? If you meant for the multiple shots to fan out, then saying that they were cast out "aimed at the throat and face" seems contradictory."silently dispersed in a short yet random and nearly inescapable spray" Saying "silently" here is, again, contradictory to the fact that we have a sound file of a disc in flight. Was it possible to launch them in such a way that they flew silently? If that is the case, it should be more explicitly stated.- That's all from me. Absolutely superb read, Tommy. —NAYAYEN 01:29, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
Trayus
Edit
I'm not sure if you have the book just yet, but Book of Sith includes journal entries from Sorzus Syn that profile ancient Sith weapons, including the lanvarok. Syn states that at the time (shortly after the Exiles' arrival in Sith Space), the arm-mounted gauntlet version of the lanvarok was in use by the armored soldiers of Domoru Krev. Also, Sidious has an annotation that calls the classic lanvarok "Messy and imprecise. The lanvarok is a weapon of indiscriminate terror." Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 07:24, February 17, 2012 (UTC)- Also, is there a specific reason why we don't have an article for the two lanvarok variants? It seems to me that we should have one for the polearm and one for the projectile launcher. Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 22:33, March 23, 2012 (UTC)
- There were two articles, but sources identify them as two versions of the same weapon, therefore compelling me to include them both in one article.—Tommy 9281 Monday, April 16, 2012, 01:40 UTC
- I can see the idea behind creating one base article for "lanvarok," but considering the vast differences between the two designs, there should definitely be an article for each of the variations. Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 20:25, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
- There were two articles, but sources identify them as two versions of the same weapon, therefore compelling me to include them both in one article.—Tommy 9281 Monday, April 16, 2012, 01:40 UTC
Actually, for the sake of comprehensive coverage within this article, you should probably specify where Syn first found the arm-mounted version (on the armored soldiers of Domoru Krev).Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 22:36, March 23, 2012 (UTC)Also, do you have a source that indicates that the top left weapon in this image is indeed a lanvarok? The bts information on the gag and Wallace's notes on the topic seem to indicate that the intent was that the reader not be able to identify the lanvarok at the time of publication. And the weapon pictured there does not look like any other depiction of a forearm-mounted lanvarok. If you can indeed find a source, a BTS note may be in order.Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 20:30, April 28, 2012 (UTC)- I'll remove the reference, since it was my own interpretation of the item, and it doesn't mesh with what Wallace said. As far as splitting the article into two, I don't quite agree; I'd like to discuss this with you further in real-time, whether by IRC or guildchat. Let me know where and when, and I'll be there.—Tommy 9281 Tuesday, May 1, 2012, 23:59 UTC
- I rarely have an opportunity to get on IRC when you're on Tommy, and I hate to hold up this nomination any moreso than necessary. So if you could either state your reasons here or on my talk page it would be much appreciated. Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 19:07, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
- The main issue is that the source identifies them as the same weapon, two sides of the same coin. That is furthered by them being in use at the same time, not a discontinuation of one in favor of the other. All of the source/reference book sources commingle them.—Tommy 9281 Tuesday, May 22, 2012, 00:56 UTC
- I understand that, but we have all different varieties of LAAT, which are all far more similar than the two varieties of lanvarok. We also have two articles for the two varieties of Delta-7s, despite the fact that they're nearly identical. Or in the case of a handheld weapon, we have the E-11 blaster rifle, and a multitude of variants. All of the variants are way more similar in design, technical specifications, and purpose than the two varieties of lanvarok; they also weren't replacements for one another. Rather, like the lanvaroks, they were used side-by-side. And it should be noted that, at least in Book of Sith, Syn specifically calls the arm-mounted lanvaroks "lanvarok gauntlets" to differentiate them from the polearms. Given the dissimilarities, it strikes me that separate articles for each variety are warranted in addition to this one. Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 04:39, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Edit
In some places, you spell out "credits," while in others you use the Cr template. Either should be fine, but it should probably be consistent.- Addressed.
"which included a primary triggering handle that curved downward and fit into the wielder's grip" --> Here, the "which" is ambiguous; it sounds like it's referring to the user's hand. Can you reword?- Addressed.
Can we get context for why the arrival of Dark Jedi during something called the Hundred Year Darkness is a significant time in "History"?- Addressed.
"their prevalence was anything but." I think there's a word missing from the end of this sentence.- Addressed.
Is Dequc's species important? None of the other named individuals in the same paragraph are given a species identification, so I'd either remove his or add them for the rest for consistency.- Addressed.
Real-world dates would be good for BTS, at least for their first appearance and the Mike Stackpole novel you give a month to, if not for all noted appearances or sources.- Addressed.
The BTS provides authors and artists for all the comics and novels, but not for the RPGs. Can you add those in? A very nice read, Tommy. ~Savage

Eyrezer
Edit
- Can you please make it clearer in the introduction the development of the forearm mounted version? Currently, the forearm version is mentioned here, but it is presumed that the reader already knows of its creation: "The original lanvarok was inspired by the natural left-handed disposition of all members of the Sith species, a distinction retained in the forearm-mounted, combat-exclusive projectile dispenser." That's all from me. --Eyrezer 17:37, May 12, 2012 (UTC)

The article's great so far. The only thing that's stood out is the random usage of "Sunrider." You use "Vima" throughout to avoid confusion with Nomi, but every so often the full name "Nomi Sunrider" or "Vima Sunrider" is used, which is noticeable and a bit awkward. Some full-name drops are probably necessary, for sure, but is it necessary to throw in "Sunrider" every few sentences when using their first names avoids any confusion?- Removed some of those occurrences.
Similarly, the sudden change from "Vima" to "Sunrider" during the Redemption stuff is a bit weird, especially when the article reverts back to "Vima" once Nomi arrives on Rhen Var, and then returns to "Sunrider" even before Ulic dies. Menkooroo 05:51, February 4, 2012 (UTC)- Well, the rule is to use the last name as much as possible, so I only used "Vima" when there was the possibility of confusion with Nomi. I don't really think it's a problem, but I can change it if you really want.
- Nope, your explanation makes sense. :) Menkooroo 03:09, February 8, 2012 (UTC)
- Well, the rule is to use the last name as much as possible, so I only used "Vima" when there was the possibility of confusion with Nomi. I don't really think it's a problem, but I can change it if you really want.
At the beginning of "Training," instead of backtracking and saying "Nomi was now a respected Jedi Master," can you proceed chronologically and say something like "Over the next ten years, Nomi became..." Ditto with "she had begun official Jedi training under Nomi"- Fixed.
Is there anything you could say about Nomi arriving on Rhen Var and first confronting her daughter? It almost seems like something's missing between "traveled to Rhen Var to retrieve her daughter" and "Although Vima vehemently espoused...".- Fixed.
"Although Hoggon was quickly dealt with," --- can you explain what this means? It makes it sound like he dies.- Fixed.
The bio indicates that she feels compelled by the Force to seek Ulic out --- seems like info that would fit at the end of the P&T's first paragraph. Thoughts?- Added.
"apparently due to trademark issues..." There's nothing "apparently" about it! :D Avellone and Rostoni have both confirmed it.- Fixed.
Any chance of including File:Vimaart.jpg in the BTS? It just seems too... perfect to leave out.- Added.

- Now that Mandorla has been cancelled, can you add something to the BTS about how Vima would have played a role in it? Irvine confirmed as much here. Menkooroo 00:22, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

- Good stuff (not the cancellation... boo!). Can you take a crack at using cite_web? It's handy for pinpointing dates and authors and such. You can copy the code from Sunrider naming controversy if you want, but make sure to set both access dates to today. Menkooroo 00:52, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

Should Zsinj's Empire and Greater Maldrood be added to the infobox's affiliation field?

Some of "Downfall" reads somewhat as if it were from Corran's perspective --- after she leaves Courkrus, we're not told where she goes and we lose track of her until her hologram confronts the good guys.

"Anakin's Betrayal" is Still the Best Star Wars Track Out There
Edit
- You mention the key twice in the intro.
- I'm not entirely sure what you mean by "single word/syllable lines" (especially since the lyrics as posted have more than one word and more than one syllable to a line)
- I think the "Conception and Development" could be split into two paragraphs. (I would've done this myself, but I'm not really sure where it would be most appropriate to split it, so I'll leave it up to you)
- In the intro and infobox you say the key is G major, but in the main body you say it's in E minor. (Those are relative keys, but thy're not the same thing.) Which is it?
- "…crescendoing into a chorus chant of two eighth notes followed by a rest…" You've mentioned how long the rests were up until this point, and it's best to stay consistent—how long is the rest here? (IIRC it's a quarter rest, yes?)
- More of a suggestion than objection: what do you think about switching around some images? Namely, I think it would be good to put the soundtrack cover image (currently placed under "In the soundtracks") in the "Conception and Development" section; the image of the LSO (currently in "Conception and Development") right where the image of the Duel in Theed currently is; and the image of the Duel in Theed in the "In the movies" section. I feel like that placement would be more appropriate considering what the images represent. Thoughts?
- "In Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, 'Fates' is played when…" I assume "Fates" means "Duel of the Fates"? I don't think it's really worth shortening, because it might confuse readers into thinking it's referring to an actual track title on the AotC soundtrack that uses the "Duel of the Fates" theme, or something like that. (This goes for later mentions of "Fates" as well. Between "Duel of the Fates," "the composition," "the theme," "the piece," and possibly others, I think you have enough interchangeable words to keep yourself from sounding reptetive without having to use just "Fates")
- Link for the battle between Obi-Wan and Vartonis?
- In the "In the Expanded Universe" section, go ahead and mention when something the theme appears in is non-canon (such as the LEGO games)
- Links for the duels between Shan and Darach and Malgus and Vindican?
- For some video games, you link the event to the game level (e.g. you link "The Final Assault" to Naboo Space Battle). I think that's a good idea, but you need to be consistent about it. Please go through your other game levels and link them to their events as appropriate.
- Why do you mention usage of the theme in trailers in both the "In the Expanded Universe" and "In other media and merchendise" sections. Why not put that information in just one section?
- As a note: remember to use last names after characters' first mentions; not first. Also, the linking was extremely inconsistent; please be more careful about your linking in the future. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 20:02, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

It's jarring in my opinion to have material written as in-universe appear in BTS (the "cut content"). Should the cut content be moved to the main body of the article, along with the disclaimer templates? Otherwise, could the section be rewritten as out-of-universe? If the latter course is followed, the templates will no longer be necessary, since I'm guessing it would be phrased to make it obvious the material was cut. ~Savage
00:53, May 26, 2012 (UTC)- Going by the precedents established in other FAs with such cut content (see the various Grand Admiral articles), then how its laid out is currently correct. The material was never officially released, so it has no place in the body, and per the Grand Admiral articles referenced above, the cut content is written in IU prose.
- I'll strike due to the precedent, but I think a SH/CT should be done on this sort of thing to clarify how to treat this type of material. ~Savage

Gah, my browser purged the rest of my review! I'll try to remember it. First off, I think the biography strays too far into play-by-play, especially where dialogue is reported and where Haathi's own actions are not being described. Can this be trimmed down a bit?- I've removed a little, but if I could get some specifics here it would be appreciated. The non-Haathi stuff, for example, is already at what I would consider "the bare bones" storywise to explain the situation (there is a lot more in the original stories). I've identified some that could be redone, but a lot of it is used to keep track of where other characters are in relation to Haathi.
I don't think it's essential to know where everyone is in relation to her, though. At any rate, I'll give some specifics in a bit. Stay tuned! :) ~Savage
16:29, May 26, 2012 (UTC)OK, back. I only think it's an issue in the sections "Zelos II" and "Gelgelar." I've done a sweep through "Zelos II" to give you an idea of what I found unnecessary for Haathi's article. Feel free to reinstate whatever you think is necessary or rework the prose to de-Bobify it, but hopefully that'll give you an idea of what I have in mind. ~Savage
16:54, May 26, 2012 (UTC)- Redone. I kept a lot of your Zelos revision, but retained the explanation of defeating the security systems since I feel it is important. The devices have been established as being present, establishing how they were defeated is equally important I feel. Also done some work on the Gelgelar section. - Cavalier One

The biography does a good job of noting who's a Wroonian, Sluissi, or Sullustan. Could it note who's a Human too?- Added, but I think repeating it gets old. Personally, unless a species is specifically mentioned, I tend to think of them as Human anyway.
- It's an issue of NPOV in my opinion; marking aliens but not Humans, females but not males, etc. is a violation of neutrality. The EU does this a lot, but the EU's readership is human beings who live on Earth. Our conceit is that our audience is some in-universe group of people who presumably include aliens among their ranks. :) Incidentally, I'm cool with removing species IDs for the Sluissi, Sullustans, etc. if that makes for better prose in your opinion. ~Savage

It's worth noting that much of her temperament matches that of her species, a fact that can be referenced to Alien Encounters, I think.- Noted.
"made her more bored and annoying..." Annoying to whom?- Never specified. I just assumed in a general way.
I think it's the juxtaposition of "bored" and "annoying" that's causing me pause here, since "bored" implies a condition of Haathi's own mood, while "annoying" indicates an affect she causes in others. In other words, would it be OK to say "bored and annoying to others" just to further emphasize that the object of the first word is not the object of the second? ~Savage

"Eventually the group defending Erethen was able to either kill or scare off the bounty hunters" -- I realize it's impossible to say whether the canonical outcome is killing the bounty hunters or chasing them away, but I don't think we're allowed to leave that ambiguity in the main part of the article. Rather, you should mention the two outcomes in BTS, and here say something more ambiguous. Perhaps, "Eventually the group defending Erethen was able to neutralize the threat posed by the bounty hunters"?- Fixed, it can be hard to get these just right.--Exiled Jedi

I feel like there's a lot of repeated information in "Equipment." Is this standard in character articles? I'd maybe pare it down a bit, since most of this information is already discussed in "Biography."- I removed the information in the equipment section referrring to the droids and the modifications she made to her vehicle on Krykas V. I have never written much of an equipment section before, so this is my first one to be much longer than "So and so owned a blaster pistol and wore heavy battle armor at some point in his/her life."--Exiled Jedi

BTS bounces between present and past tense when discussing the running of the adventure. You should pick one or the other and stick with it.- I think I changed it all to past tense now.--Exiled Jedi

Although the adventure is vague about when it takes place, is is possible to establish any firmer idea of a timeframe based on the equipment Erethen had access to? For instance, has any source established when ASP-7 droids were first produced? That kind of info might help us better place the adventure on the timeline.- The ASP-7 article and the Graph 18 surface locator article both say that they were available in the Rise of the Empire era and the Rebellion era. Unfortunately, all the sources I have access to do not have any information on the era they were used in. However, from a piece of equipment used by the bounty hunters (the LaserHone Duelist vibrorapier) I can definitely say that the adventure took place in the Rise of the Empire era or later.--Exiled Jedi

There were some places where it sounded like Erethen was a female Humand droid who designed weapons, so I tried to reword there. This turned into a general copy edit, so please check that I didn't inadvertently change the meaning of anything! All from me. Very nice work. ~Savage

- Is Star Tours canon? Some of the events of the ride (like attacking the "Death Star" after the Battle of Endor) make it seem rather ambiguous to me.--Exiled Jedi

- Yes, it's canon. And I'm gonna get to ride it in two weeks! :P MasterFred

- We have nothing to say it isn't, so that means we default to it being so, as far as I understand policy. Besides, RX-24's first flight is directly referenced in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, so that's definitely canon (specifically, it mentions the flight, the comet field, and the battle, although it gives no specifics). And you'll notice it's nowhere called a Death Star, at least not in this article -- it's a battlestation. I was very careful about that! ~Savage

Can you explain what you mean by "druid-run" on first mention?- Ahem, that should be droid-run. Green Tentacle (Talk) 22:34, May 25, 2012 (UTC)
I think the quote under "Final defeat" needs reformatting, since it's only two speakers and should thus just use the basic "Quote" template.- Copied from Screed's article. Now changed in both. Green Tentacle (Talk) 22:34, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Throughout you describe them as having an "equine body." Could this be changed to something more descriptive, like, maybe, "equine lower body"? After all, their torso and arms and so on are part of their body as well, and those are humanoid.- Hmm. In this, I have followed the pattern of "Who's Who in the New Jedi Order", which states that Lusa "possessed the body of a mythological centaur -- the head and torso of a human female and the body of an equine animal". I chose to treat this as the appropriate anatomical division, such as one would separate head, thorax, and abdomen in an insect. Still think I should change it?
I do, simply because the head and thorax are part of the body as well; so are eyes, hands, teeth, etc. Just by calling it her "lower body," this ambiguity would disappear, I think. ~Savage
16:19, May 26, 2012 (UTC)- Do(n)e. I did not add lower to several mentions,like body color, but I think this is consistent with your suggestion. --Eyrezer 21:02, May 26, 2012 (UTC)

Does the red-gold color apply to the whole creature, or only the horse part?- I presume the whole creature. The color is made in a blanket statement, and apart from the spots, no division of color is ever implied that I could see.
I think the lead talks too much about Lusa. Can everything be pared down to two paragraphs?- Done.
You've currently got some of their behavior in "Biology and appearance" and some in "Society and culture." I'd be inclined to move it all to "S&C." I'm thinking specifically about stuff like being able to swim, how they express emotion, etc.- Done.
Do they all have a heavy accent when speaking Basic, or only a few known examples?- Clarified.
So I'm to take it Lusa goes naked in her early appearances? If so, fine, but it's surprising for a kids' book!- Apparently!
- Yikes! Guess it's similar to who the Ghostlings went from a prostitute species to ephemeral children in the EU... ~Savage

- Apparently!
Can you alter the language in the first two paragraphs of "History" a bit to mention the Chrironians more? While I think the information there belongs in the article, it should relate a bit more to the species rather than the planet.- Done.
"became closely involved" -- does this mean romantically or sexually? If so, can you clarify? ~Savage
22:35, May 25, 2012 (UTC)- It is ambiguous and so I have stuck to the language of the NJOSB, which simply says "Raynar became closely involved with Lusa". Raynar certainly seems to have a crush on her in the YJK, but given the age of the characters and the audience of the series that is as far as it goes. --Eyrezer 04:30, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
Oh, and some mention of the centaur Chiron from Greek mythology is probably in order for BTS, however that needs to be done to avoid straying into OR territory. ~Savage
22:47, May 25, 2012 (UTC)- Thanks for the review -- some good catches there. I've addressed some, questioned other and will work on the rest. I also wasn't aware of "Chiron", so will look into it. --Eyrezer 04:30, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
- Researching Chiron made me pay more attention to the origin of the Chironian name, which is now also reflected in the BTS. Let me know what you think. --Eyrezer 05:55, May 26, 2012 (UTC)
