Toprawa

 * Reference 5 works, but I think you need to qualify that statement. Leland is saying that [X] starship model from [Legends source] retains the same name in Canon, but you should specify what that Legends source is that names this ship model.
 * How does that note read for you? I was figuring I still needed the template.
 * Yes, that was the gist of what I was looking for. I spruced it up a little bit. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:53, August 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * The episode numbers and seasons in the BTS cannot be sourced straight to the episodes themselves. That's not self-sourcing, and the episodes don't give any indication. That needs to be sourced to the episode guides.
 * Ah, alright. Makes sense. Consider it done.
 * Likewise, the archived episode guides don't actually provide airdates. I think they might have at one time, but that information is no longer present. I've advised other nominators recently to source airdate information to the Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Episode Guide, which contains this info in full. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 21:10, August 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * Alright. I wrote them in per your word. For future reference I also ordered a copy of of that book from Amazon. I don't know if it has any useful trivia in it as of now, though. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 18:45, August 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * I would suggest just removing the quote from the BTS. It's not really illustrating any great point that isn't already being explained better in the section's own wording, and it's kind of a weird, fumbling quote to read anyways.
 * Alright.
 * The article needs to do more to describe the color of his skin than just saying it's blue, because there's obviously a more dominant color there. I'm not sure if you want to call it white or beige or whatever, but that color should be mentioned in the infobox and article body on top of the blue. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:53, August 19, 2017 (UTC)
 * How's that? --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 00:41, August 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * Well, firstly, it's probably inaccurate to call it skin; Trandoshans have scales, so I've modified the wording to reflect this. I also think it's kind of redundant to say "light cream," so I've changed it to just call it cream. I'm not sure what you mean by this new sentence you've added: "The skin on his face had a horizontal-stripe pattern." I'm not exactly seeing horizontal stripes. I see blue mottling around his facial ridges. Is this sentence really necessary? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:23, August 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * Mottling is the correct term apparently, but they're still stripe-ish. I figured it would have been better to just be a bit more descriptive, though I suppose the images speak for themselves as far as how the colors are on his skin/scales. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 14:01, August 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * If you really want to add that in, I would suggest just saying he had cream-colored scales with blue mottling (maybe "striped blue mottling" or "blue striped mottling"?) along his face and body. I'm ok with whatever you choose. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 16:32, August 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * I actually have two more issues. The first, for reference 10, you should specify what part of the home-video release that information is coming from. For example, please see reference 5 here and format accordingly.
 * Secondly, the TCW home-video releases only need to be listed in the Sources list if they have exclusive information pertaining to the article subject. I see the article is referencing Trandoshan stuff to S3, but is there anything actually in this one for Krix specifically? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:54, August 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'l try to get these answered by the end of the week. Jim the Lamproid was kind enough to extend to me the information (see below), so I've asked him if he could grab the specifics.--Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 20:10, September 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * Ok. Added the name of the Bonus Feature featurette to to the note. According to Jim, the featurette doesn't specifically mention any of the Trandoshans by name, but refers to them in broader terms (Like being present). Would that just be an Imo tag then? --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 01:21, September 15, 2017 (UTC)

Cevan

 * Should Dar's initiation ceremony have its own article? Cevan  IMPpress.svg  (talk)  19:11, August 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * Eh, I wouldn't think so. I think it'd be like having a page for Aang's birthday, which we don't (Or for the banquet he attended). Given the way the guild seems to be, I imagine all new members of the guild would get an initiation, which seems like something for the page on the guild itself. If that was the case, the only thing different about Dar's is that he was Garnac's son. But even so, I wouldn't think it needs an article (We have articles for funerals, though, so...) --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 19:31, August 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Cevan  IMPpress.svg  (talk)  19:57, August 13, 2017 (UTC)

Jim The Lamproid

 * The terms 'moved on to' and 'relocated' indicate Krix made Nal Hutta his place of residence, though that wasn't necessarily the case.
 * I agree with "relocated," so I changed that one. I'm not so sure about "moved on to." If I had just said "moved to" then yes, but I think the way it stands makes it clear that Krix just headed to Nal Hutta at some point. I suppose if there was further input on the matter, though.
 * If you don't think that's an issue i've striked the objection. Jim The Lamproid (talk) 21:44, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * I think Kirx's cameo in 'FaE' could be expanded on a bit, e.g add Krix was talking with a (Weequay?) outside Bilbousa's saloon. Jim The Lamproid (talk) 16:18, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * I considered it, but wasn't sure if it was really worth mentioning, given that the way I worded it inferred he was mingling. But I added the detail anyways, since it fleshes out his FaE appearance a bit more. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 19:49, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * Deleted scenes in the 'Jedi Temple Archives' of the season 3 blu-ray seem to show the Trandoshans as being able to appear almost invisible on command, but the idea was obviously scrapped. Worth a mention?
 * It doesn't seem to apply to Krix specifically, so probably not. Especially given his scene of importance is basically as a Trando Uber-service. Would probably make more sense as info on the Trando's guild page.
 * Do you have the access to the Season 3 DVD? according to its article, there's a commentary by Dave Filoni on the naming of the episode's Trandoshans. Jim The Lamproid (talk) 21:42, September 15, 2017 (UTC)
 * No, not the DVD, which why I've tried to reach out for more info. I imagine the information isn't too different than Wookiee Hunt's episode guide which details the history on some of the Trando names. Would Krix have a history? Also, is that commentary only on the DVD? --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 02:52, September 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * The commentary is only on the DVD. Probably would be good to ask around to see if the commentary mentions Krix. Jim The Lamproid (talk) 22:19, September 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * AV-6R7 has agreed to help once he gets a monitor for his disc player. So hopefully we'll have an answer soon. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 19:49, September 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * And with that, information acquired and added to the article. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 05:34, September 21, 2017 (UTC)
 * The image captions need full stops. Jim The Lamproid (talk) 19:22, September 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * The Layout Guide stipulates that only image captions that are full sentences get a full stop; thus the punctuation in Krix is correct as it is right now. 1358  (Talk)  19:26, September 20, 2017 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay. Sorry. Jim The Lamproid (talk) 20:01, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

Comments

 * Have you watched the behind the scenes of the 'Wasskah arc' in the season three blu-ray? I seem to recall Kilian Plunkett commenting something regarding Krix's stockier build, that could be used as a quote. Jim The Lamproid (talk) 21:35, August 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * Hm, I hadn't considered those, actually. Do you have it on hand? Otherwise I can probably try to look into it myself. Thanks. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 18:45, August 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * "There was more of a concious effort to come up - sort of - different silhouettes and shapes and builds" - Kilian Plunkett on the creation of the Trandoshans in Padawan Lost (including Krix)Jim The Lamproid (talk) 21:13, August 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * What I also found of note is that Pat Presley was responsible for the designs of Krix and all other Trandoshans. Jim The Lamproid (talk) 21:27, August 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * Just curious, is that quote missing any words is that how they said it? Also thanks for the information! --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 16:16, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * There's more to the quote but I didn't think it was necessary: "When we knew that we were gonna see more Trandoshans, rather than - sort of - take Bossk and revisit that but no do much to it - erm - we saw it as an opportunity to introduce much harder - sort of - reptillian shapes - erm - into the silhouettes that you see, and also just add a little bit more detail in the head so it wasn't quite as soft as the Bossk character turned out to be in Lethal Trackdown. There was more of a concious effort to come up - sort of - different silhouettes and shapes and builds." :) Jim The Lamproid (talk) 18:08, August 16, 2017 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks. It's just that it looked like a word or so was missing, but then again, sometimes when speaking words are just plum left out sometimes. I was just wondering. Thanks again! --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 06:24, August 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * Oh sorry, I misunderstood your question. It should be 'come up with' rather than 'come up', and no problem, i'm happy to help. Jim The Lamproid (talk) 08:41, August 17, 2017 (UTC)
