Oppose
 * 1) Cav's squadron briefing:
 * 2) * "Passengers: None" is unsourced in the infobox.
 * 3) **Done. Graestan ( Talk ) 00:19, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) * In the "Role" section: "before newer craft capable of carrying more armor for their ion engines' capacity were developed." This is a little unclear; I assume it has to do with some type of power to weight ratio, but I could be wrong. Please reword a little for clarity.
 * 5) **Explained more explicitly.
 * 6) * Again, "Role" section: "Because of their light armament off the manufacturing line, the Republic authorized the S-100 for civilian purchase." I assume this means that the fighters were sold to the civilian market without modifications or downgrading from military specs? You mention that they were sold with stock armament in the History section. If so, a little mention of this might be needed here. - Cavalier One [[Image:FarStar Logo.jpg|20px]]( Squadron channel ) 14:09, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 7) **Let me know how I've done with this one. Thanks for your review. Graestan ( Talk ) 00:19, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 8) Cylka:
 * 9) * Were the Jedi pilots that were testing the Star Saber XC-01 starfighters based on Ossus as well? It seems a bit unclear to me.
 * 10) **Added a more suitable descriptor to Ossus. Graestan ( Talk ) 23:11, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 11) * Maybe it might be worth mentioning that even though the Stingers were sold to civilians, civilians were thought to be better off with freighters or transports for their needs since the Stinger's stock weapons wouldn't provide them with much protection.
 * 12) **Added. Graestan ( Talk ) 23:11, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 13) *It'll be nice to steal a little of this glory for the KotOR project. :-P Cylka  -talk- 17:45, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * 14) In the intro, you state that it is 11.5 metres in length, while in the infobox and body, you state that it is 11.  06:40, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 15) *11. Fixed. Graestan ( Talk ) 07:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 16) Surely a better scan of Image:S-100 Stinger-class starfighter.jpg can be produced. --Imperialles 18:55, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 17) *Realistically, probably not. Anyone with a copy of the book and a half-decent knowledge of scanning understands that recent Wizards books are basically made of toilet paper, and Volemlock is one of our best scanners. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 22:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 18) **Yeah, I just tried again last night both with and without the black-paper-between-pages trick and one way there's too much bleed-through and the other way it gets artificially darkened to the point that it looks either washed out or abstractly oversaturated when I try to brighten it. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 12:08, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
