RE: 97 BBY
No problem, year articles are a kind of passion for me. Imperators II 19:16, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but could you please specify where exactly in The Truce At Bakura does it mention that the droid uprising took place in 97 BBY? Imperators II 19:33, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Battle of Malastare
Hey TK-999, I've given Battle of Malastare a small review and made a few changes. If you're looking to nominate this as a good or featured article, you're well on your way, but here's a few things you should know:
 * Link EVERYTHING possible once in the intro, once in the infobox, and once in the main article.
 * Source EVERYTHING (including every bullet point in the infobox) except information in the introduction and, unless necessary, the behind the scenes section. Basically, if all information in a particular paragraph can be referenced to the same source, you can just source it once at the end of the paragraph. Otherwise, you will need to source more specifically, i.e., after a phrase or sentence (include the source after any surrounding punctuation, like commas or periods).
 * Generally, battle articles require an intro (which you have), a "Prelude" section (detailing why the battle took place and the events leading up to the battle), a "The battle" section (which you have), and an "Aftermath" section (detailing the events following the battle, and possibly explaining why future battles, like the one with the Zillo Beast on Coruscant, may have occurred because of the battle you're writing about).
 * Generally, redirects are frowned upon but not outright illegal. You didn't have many, but it's good to remember that something like stun tank should be linked as stun tank.
 * Also, give context whenever you introduce a new object or individual. For example, a "treaty with the Dugs" is mentioned, but a brief phrase or sentence explaining what the treaty was all about would be helpful to new readers.
 * Other than that, the article looks pretty good, and could definitely make good- or featured article status with some hard work and dedication. If you're having trouble sourcing everything or getting all necessary information because you don't have all the sources, like Star Wars: The Clone Wars Character Encyclopedia or what-not, feel free to look around at other users' profiles. Many users list their book/DVD collections in their profiles, and most would be happy to look something up for you. Also, it's good to look at other good or featured articles and compare your article to theirs. Again, let me know if there's anything else I can do for you.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 19:54, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Battle of Malastare (II)
Well, basically it's what Axinal said. You have to link & source EVERYTHING. Every bulleted item. Also, have you tried asking JangFett (the one who put "Cleanup" tag up in the first place) for some advice on what else should be done?

I'm not too competent in GAs/FAs, but here's a few things I noticed in a quick overview: I hope it helps... Imperators II 15:24, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * "[..] one of the longest and fiercest engagements of the Clone Wars [..]" should be mentioned in the body of the article and sourced.
 * Are you sure "Malastarian" is the correct demonym?
 * I noticed the word "doge" written with a lowercase "d". Be consistent.
 * As Axinal mentioned, "stun tank" should be linked correctly (for example, in the caption below the picture of the tank).
 * There must be a reference at the end of EVERY paragraph (and after punctuation).
 * Don't forget to introduce the name of the Zillo Beast properly as such in the body of the article.
 * A "Behind the scenes" section should be written, too, where each appearance of the battle is at least mentioned.
 * Also, mind that no piece of information can be infobox-exclusive (that includes links).

TK, would it be all right with you if I gave the article another copy-edit? I see a few more things that could be fixed, but it would take longer to write it out on your talk page than to fix it myself.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 18:56, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not to butt in, but I noticed I added a few redirected links in the article when I gave it my brief copy-edit. B2 battle droid and walkers were both added by me. They should be B2 super battle droid and walkers, respectively. TK, if you create a page called Special:MyPage/monobook.css or Special:MyPage/wikia.css (depending on whether you use Monobook or the default Wikia skin) and copy and paste "a.mw-redirect {color:darkorange}" into it, that will show redirected links in a different color, so they will be easy to spot and fix. Nice trick I learned from and . Regarding the cleanup tag, I honestly think it's safe to remove. The article's not quite ready for a nomination, but most of the formatting fits within the Manual of Style and Layout Guide as far as I can see. You've made some great improvements, TK.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 15:41, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem, TK. Follow the link provided for the .css page (whichever one fits the Wiki skin you use...which would be the /wiki.css one unless you manually changed the skin to use Monobook), create the page, and paste "a.mw-redirect {color:darkorange}" into it. That will allow you to spot redirects quickly.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 15:46, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * BTS section looks good. I'm going to be offline for a while, but here's a few things you can do:
 * Fix three remaining redirects on the page (Dug in the infobox, B2 battle droid and walkers in the main article).
 * Make sure to put the episode titles like "The Zillo Beast" in quotes.
 * Source the remaining information in the infobox, such as the conflict, place, outcome, etc.
 * A few paragraphs are referenced in multiple places, but to the same source. If the whole paragraph all comes from the same source, you only need to source it once, at the end.
 * You mention a treaty in the main body, but don't give it any context. Since the idea for the treaty was conceived before the battle (if I recall correctly), you can add something about it in the prelude section, at least describing what we know of it, like what it said and why it was being considered.
 * First names like "Anakin" and "Mace" should be used only when the characters are first introduced in the introduction and the main body (where they should be introduced as "Anakin Skywalker" and "Mace Windu". After that, it's best to use only last names, like Windu, or rank/title+last names, like Master Windu or General Windu.
 * A few other minor things, but I'm out of time for now. I'll check the article again later. Good work so far!&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 16:04, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

Fanon
Please be a bit more careful. Reverting a link to the Star Forge is not removing fanon. Imperators II 18:21, March 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem. By the way, thanks for sourcing the year articles. Imperators II 18:39, March 20, 2011 (UTC)

apology accepted --Darth owski 18:45, March 20, 2011 (UTC)Darth owski

Electrocution
I stand corrected. Feel free to revert it; you don't need permission. Korsa3 19:15, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Shigar Konshi
Please be more careful when "reverting fanon". Konshi was indeed sent to Nal Hutta, not Tatooine. Imperators II 15:26, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Help
I can't be much help in the TCW area (better ask someone like CC7567, the leader of WookieeProject The Clone Wars), but you could check whether the droid is destroyed by watching the episode on starwars.com. :) Also, if you're not sure of a given fact's canonicity, why do you reference it? ;D Imperators II 17:30, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

Copy-edit
Hey TK, I gave Battle of Malastare a copy-edit. I improved some grammar and changed some links around. There's a few more things I think should be done: Other than that, the article looks pretty good. If you want to nominate it for Good or Featured status, I have one more piece of advice: Dedicate yourself to the article, and don't give up. The AgriCorps and the Inquisitorius are going to tear the article apart line by line, and probably ask that you rewrite several sentences, paragraphs, or maybe even entire sections. Most of them will probably give it their own copy edit and maybe add some redlinks and ask that you create the respective pages. The nomination process typically takes at least a week, and in the case of a longer article like this, probably several weeks or maybe months, and I can say from experience that their seemingly-endless demands are going to be very discouraging. But, if you keep at it, be sure to address all their concerns properly, and thank them each for their help and their review, this article could definitely be Good or Featured. You've done an impressive job so far; just keep up the good work and you'll be rewarded. If there's anything else you need, let me know. Cheers!&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 18:34, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * The opening quote seems to refer more to the Zillo Beast incident than to the Battle of Malastare. Do you think you could find a better one?
 * Add Zillo Beast incident to the "next" part of the infobox and source it.
 * In the article, you say, "The two Jedi quarreled with Urus on the matter." Add some detail there. Why, exactly, were they quarreling?
 * Add some context when you introduce Doctor Sionver Boll. Also, you give context on Doge Nakha Urus the second time he is mentioned; try to move that context to the first introduction.
 * Something in the aftermath about Palpatine's permission to clone the creature might be a good addition.
 * My pleasure; best of luck with the article.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 19:09, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
