Armament
Either back up your claims about this ships weapons, or stop posting them. JimRaynor55 22:42, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Its an assault fighter, not a superiority fighter. An all-energy weapon version would render it useless. I'd like to see what source claims there is such a thing, so I can slap the author silly. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  23:07, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I really get sick of these kind of things. Admiral J. Nebulax 23:48, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * What sort of thing? The endless fanonization of articles by people who have not a clue what they're actually talking about? It'll drive you crazy if you let it. Fortunately, some of us are already at least a bit crazy to begin with. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  01:16, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep. Especially SuperShadow-inspired nonsense. Admiral J. Nebulax 02:35, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Apparently this idiot has been banned. Therefore, the page can be unlocked. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:35, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Gap
The third picture's placement in the text is causing a rather unsightly gap. I've tried to move it down, but someone keeps putting it back in. The location in the text doesn't affect it's placement on the page, and gaps just look ugly. Would anyone mind if I put it at the bottom? -- SFH 00:43, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * I was the one who moved it back. What happens is, I cannot see the little edit button on the lower sections when you place it there. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:25, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

B-wing Editor
This is the guy who had been previously banned. I apologize for my fanon. I got the fake C-wing from a non-canon website. Although I wont be editing this B-wing, I really know that the weapons are how I put them. Go to the Databank at starwars.com for B-wing and then click on Expanded Universe. It shows what I put. I also made the original proton bomb and hex missile pages although they are edited by other people now. I hate fanon as much as you do. -Bwingfreak 18:09, 17 Janurary 2006
 * Why didn't you just stop and tell us where you got the information from when you were first asked, instead of constantly re-adding it? Admiral J. Nebulax 00:45, 18 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I just checked it out, and the official site does NOT support your incorrect "original" armament, nor does it make any mention of your all-lasers variant. Don't post any more BS, and answer us next time we ask you to support your claims. JimRaynor55 01:16, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

I apologize again. I didn't know about this disscussion page. I'm very new: I joined wiki yesterday. The all lasers variant I got from a fanon website that I didn't know was fanon at the time. Could the heavy ion cannon, three laser cannons, etc... possibly be another variant. Sorry and dont get mad. please. Could I make the page on auto-blasters? One more question: is http://hangarbay.tripod.com/td-aw.html fanon? -Bwingfreak 19:55, 17 Jan 2006

I didn't find it said the original weaponry wasn't supported. go here: http://www.starwars.com/databank/starship/bwingstarfighter/?id=eu its the third paragraph. - Bwingfreak 20:30, 17 Jan 2006
 * As for your question, we don't use fan-made sites at all. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:43, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

Animation

 * Is there some reason why my gif was removed? Or was it just a contemporary loss in the edit war? Just wanted to know MoffRebus 22:18, 25 January 2006 (UTC)
 * There was no room for it. Plus, I think that all of those should be removed. Animations don't work well. Admiral J. Nebulax 00:59, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Gee thanks, that's so nice to know! :S MoffRebus 10:12, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * However, it is a good picture. Perhaps a gallery of these starfighter animations? Admiral J. Nebulax 20:28, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Good idea. A gallery to make, we have. possibly here>> Animated starfighter gallery? -Bwingfreak 1:22, 1 Feb 2006
 * That should work. Admiral J. Nebulax 20:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

I dont know where to get those pictures so its kinda up to y'all.Bwingfreak 7:18, 2 Feb 2006
 * Well, MoffRebus would get them. Admiral J. Nebulax 21:12, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Length
It's listed as 16.9 meters long, but from looking at it that's about as absurd as the Executor being 8000 meters. The B-wing might be 16.9 meters tall, but in length it appears to be shorter than just about any manned starfighter, except maybe the basic TIE fighter, the Eta-2 Actis, and the New Republic Defender. 68.47.234.131 04:12, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, that's the official length as of now. Admiral J. Nebulax (talk) 12:55, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Bladewing
Is there a specific source that calls it a Bladewing? Not that I'm arguing, I think it's a cool idea, it makes a lot more sense than saying it looks like a letter B. --Commander Mike 02:27, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I believe so. I don't have it with me, however. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:03, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

History
As an avid fleet junkie and fan of the B-wing, I have noticed that the history section is ATROCIOUSLY lacking. If I knew how to nominate the durn thing for improvement, I would. I could make the case here, address objections, present evidence, and even make closing arguments, but suffice to say: Should the history section be expanded to include a LOT more from the New Rep era? I mean, come on- it's one of the 4 major New Rep fighters! I added a similar history section on the TIE Defender and the consensus was to keep it. Atarumaster88 17:10, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
 * See Improvement Drive if you want to nominate it. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:39, 14 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you Fleet Admiral. The page is now nominated. Vote please! Atarumaster88 14:38, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:08, 21 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I have updated the history section, but it probably needs more expansion, especially in the details as I do not have most of the books in front of me. On a separate question, in games such as Rogue Squadron III, where the B-wing is a craft the player CAN choose to use, are those battles considered canon appearances of the B-wing if it is not stipulated the craft MUST be flown? What about cooperative missions? Atarumaster88 15:52, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It's gameplay. Therefore, no. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:06, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Ejection Pod
I just add a paragraph about the ejection pod in the design section, from the people that don't know about it, its been seen in the game Rebel Assault 2 : The Hidden Empire Rookie_One 05:05, 31 July 2006 (UTC) I Just wanted to know if i was right about it... Rookie_One 17:00, 31 July 2006 (UTC) Well the only source i had about it was the last scene of chapter 1 in Rebel Assault 2, where Rookie One eject from his B-Wing just before crashing after being shooted by a TIE Phantom. Rookie_One 23:52, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * You know, you don't have to "report" your edit on the talk page. All you have to do is type something short in the "Summary" space. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:39, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If you provide a source that someone could check on, you don't need to worry. ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:02, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Then that was all you needed to put in the Summary space, that is, if it all fit. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:17, 1 August 2006 (UTC)

KOTOR?
Ive been playing KOTOR for a long time, can someone help me out, theres a Republic Fighter that looks exactly like a B-wing in the final 5 cutscenes, can someone else take a look and tell me that it isnt?
 * I can tell you without looking at it that it's not a B-wing. At least not this B-wing. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:06, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Name
So. . . What gives the B-Wing its name? Double D 04:53, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The fact that, when looking at it from a certain angle, it looks like a lowercase "b". Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:10, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

I see the "B" from the side, when it up-side-down. so why do they call it the P-Wing. Double D


 * As far as I know, it's not called the P-Wing on any official source. Atarumaster88 17:22, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Oops, I meant to say, why "don't" they call it the P-Wing?. Double D
 * It was called "B fighter" during the planning of RotJ (with the A-wing as "A fighter"), so they made it "B-wing". Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

Images
One reason I changed the image was, the other one. . . in was not in flight mode, but it also was not in attack mode, it was in the middle. Double D 17:54, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Uh, first, does the main image look good to everyone else. On my monitor, it looks blurry and I can see where it was cropped. Two, the second image is not in flight mode as the S-foils are deployed. In flight mode, they fold against the main ventral wing. Atarumaster88 21:46, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the main image before this one looked blurry to me, and now this one doesn't. However, I suppose a better one could be found. Also, I fixed the second image's caption. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:00, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, I saw the better text image. I altered it to "attack." My main complaint with the current image is that I can see a clear color difference where it looks like the B-wing was cropped out and placed on a background. Atarumaster88 01:14, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * We're not talking about why the image was changed, we're talking about getting a better version of the current main image. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:32, 28 August 2006 (UTC)

S-Foils in Attack Position
A B-Wing can't attack with the s-foils closed, but why? Exactly what physically prevents it from doing that? Double D 02:44, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
