 * 1) In a universe where hyperspace capability is commonplace, I should hope the footwear is unspeakably comfortable.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 22:28, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 2)  Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  12:08, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) Made in sweatshops by poorly paid Ugnaughts, no doubt. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 22:29, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) Bootiqs. :P  Imperators II (Talk) 20:02, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Object
 * 1) Imperators II
 * 2) * The advert can be seen in HoloNet News Vol. 531 45, which is set in 13:2:28. Doesn't that mean Botiq also advertized in 23 BBY?  Imperators II (Talk) 07:55, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 3) **No, year 13 on the GrS calender means it takes place in 22 BBY: 35 - 13 = 22 BBY. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 19:45, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) ***I've found out that what I thought about the difference between the start times of BBY and BrS was wrong. You're right. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 20:53, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) Exiled Jedi
 * 6) * Can you really say for sure that it was an organization? -- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  11:00, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 7) **Good point. It could be an über-trendy designer's name or something. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 18:57, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) ***This is another cop-out like with Kallil-virus jelly. I couldn't very well assume it was a person, so I went with something ambiguous. I'm open to suggestions if you have any alternatives. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 19:45, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 9) ****This is just a suggestion, but what if you skipped directly over what it was, and just focused on what it did? Ex: "In 22 BBY, Botiq advertised in the planet of Coruscant's HoloNet News [...]" That would make the categorization a little more difficult, but it's just a thought. This is a tough one. :P&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 19:54, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 10) *****We do actually have to call it something, unfortunately. Even if that calls for an opening sentence that reads like "A slider was a type of food." NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 20:00, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 11) ******On the other hand, you could keep it the way it is, and just mention in the BTS that you actually have no kriffing clue what it is (a little more formally, of course). It's also probably safe to assume it's a reference to the real-life Botique brand, but as speculation policies on the Wook are quite strict, it's probably not a good idea to put that in the article itself.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 20:04, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 12) *******Actually, upon reflection, I'm not 100% sure we have to say "organization" or what have you in organization articles because it's self evident. I'll look into this. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 20:06, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 13) ********Two possibilities: "...was an entity..." or "In [date], Botiq was an advertiser in HoloNet News..." ? ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 20:20, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 14) *********Ah, "entity" would work! Still needs a category though... If only we had a Category:Things or Category:Miscellanea. I dunno, "Organizations" would still probably work for categorization purposes. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 20:25, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 15) **********You could make a category for advertisers. (Just a thought)-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  21:26, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 16) *********** You could also simply put it in Category:Society or Category:Society and culture. Again, just a suggestion there. Also, could you add the Eras tag? Otherwise, I think I'm ready to support this article.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 21:49, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 17) ************Um...Sure? I guess that's vague enough to work. Also, era tag: *facepalm*. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 22:17, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * 18) Bob
 * 19) * Can you use the HNN template? ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 16:35, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * 20) **Done. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 22:23, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
