Object
 * 1) P&t : 'When hired by Narloch, Boushh left the Herglic gambler for dead when he fled Dalos IV, demonstrating that he cared more for his own skin than survival.' Isn't caring for one's own skin the same as survival? Or have i misinterpreted this?
 * 2) *Fixed. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 14:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * You say that Boussh et al captured Justiss...I thought the picture just said that he was confronted by them. "hordes of facial scars" - Is that really the collective? :P Thefourdotelipsis 10:55, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Fixed and fixed. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 10:04, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) From the desk of Atarumaster88
 * 2) * "Boushh guarded caught Narloch while he gambled in a casino on the Wheel, where they were attacked by the bounty hunters." Uh . . . wth?
 * 3) **Wth? indeed. Fixed.
 * 4) * "The group managed to make their way to Dalos IV, where Boushh engaged them in a firefight in the hopes of allowing Narloch to escape. Boushh eventually fled himself, and Narloch was captured." Some sticky antecedents here.
 * 5) **I've altered it ever so slightly but I'm not sure what's wrong with it.
 * 6) * "Boushh wore several bandoliers, packed tight with ammo pouches explosives—projectile detonators," I'm pretty sure this is just missing a comma, but was only 95% certain.
 * 7) **I think it was an "of." Fixed.
 * 8) * You state Boussh became a bounty hunter near the formation of the Empire in the intro, but it's never extrapolated upon or sourced in the body.
 * 9) **Ambiguified.
 * 10) *Have a Super Terrific Friendly Un-frustrating day. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 18:58, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Comments


 * Can you use an unmasked picture of him in the infobox? Since we have ones of decent quality, and the masked one is literally a repurposed image of Leia (I know in its canonical use it's of Boushh, but it does make the point of how vague masked pictures are), I think this is a case where an unmasked shot would be far superior. - Lord Hydronium 21:50, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I disagree. As Boushh rarely removes his helmet, and the masked picture is instantly more recognisable, it makes things easier for user reference. Darth Xadún ( Consult the Holocron ) 10:11, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I would tend to agree with Xadun, though I don't really care too much either way. I think the fact that the unmasked one is less than 250px should rule it out. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 14:38, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the masked one is more recognizable as Leia, since that's how most people have seen "Boushh". The fact that Leia-as-Boushh and helmeted Boushh look identical to the point that a picture of the former is used for the latter I think is a good indication of how ambiguous the helmeted picture is. Acky: There might be a better sized one in the strip; if that can be found, would you have any objection to changing it? - Lord Hydronium 02:51, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Nope, but I'm fairly sure there isn't a bigger one. If that option isn't available, what about using the coloured picture from later on the bio for the infobox? That would at least alleviate the "Leia" issue. Either way, I don't mind, and we can use the smaller, unmasked one if necessary. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 10:06, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Ozzel cropped a wider version of the unmasked, so I switched the two. - Lord Hydronium 20:36, 29 May 2008 (UTC)
