Object
 * 1) Axinal
 * 2) * Could we get some context on Kashyyyk and Darth Vader?
 * 3) **Done.  Gethralkin  Hyperwave 14:27, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * 4) ***What I meant was this: What is Kashyyyk? Who is Darth Vader? Just one or a few words each should suffice.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 14:31, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * 5) ****Ah, I see. Fixed.  Gethralkin  Hyperwave 06:17, June 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * 6) * I think the author and release date of TFU could be added to the BTS.
 * 7) **Done.  Gethralkin  Hyperwave 14:27, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * 8) *Otherwise, very cool, if a little scary.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 20:03, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

 * 13) * Does the original source call it poison? Technically speaking, spiders produce venom. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 20:51, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * 14) **Yes the source mentions poison coming from mandibles. Venom generally refers to toxins that an animal armed with such injects into a victim's skin/body by way of a bite or sting, either to defend itself or when hunting. However, even though poison refers more commonly to a substance that causes biological disruption through absorption, the distinction between toxin and poison is not always observed, even among scientists. In addition, the derivative forms "toxic" and "poisonous" are used synonymously. I will therefore rephrase the sentence to be more correct and still be faithful to the canon material. A caveat: the book doesn't mention the delivery process of the poison, so it could even be that the upraised mandibles spray the victim with the poison.

Comments
 * Do not make unnecessary pipelinks for articles that otherwise don't need pipelinking, such as what you did with Kashyyyk. Just keep it Kashyyyk's. For articles that already need to be pipelinked either way, such as Darth Vader, it is your choice whether or not to include the 's in the pipelink, and I'm fine, and have done, both ways. This is just something that always tends to bother me whenever I see it. Hanzo Hasashi 03:28, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Point taken. A habit I picked up from before the was made.  Gethralkin  Hyperwave  09:28, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * It would be speculation to say so, but I wonder if these are the same arachnids that terrorize the characters in "Pax Empirica—The Wookiee Annihilation." ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 20:51, June 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * As big as a TIE fighter is pretty big for a spider. However, the Pax Empirica spider didn't seem to be the active pack hunter that the giant weavers were mentioned to be.  Gethralkin  Hyperwave 15:09, June 11, 2011 (UTC)
