I went ahead & contacted Savage here earlier. On Star Wars Fanon, admins are elected by the community & serve the interests of the community. No issue is too small to warrant administrative oversight, intervention, or arbitration, so you needn't worry about disturbing them. They just may take a bit to respond because of outstanding real-life issues. I would expect a response within the next few days.

I'm not going to belabor the point any further by posting a detailed response. Your reply above is an excellent defense of your perspective, but I believe I've articulated my own perspective well enough. At the end of the day, the issue I have is one of extrapolation. Extrapolating on the meaning of a few poorly-constructed English sentences is dangerous, particularly when provided with such little context. For all we know, "some of them died by the 501st" could mean "after being 'fired,' some of these units died alongside or in the proximity of the 501st." We just don't know because the phrasing of the entire article is just far too vague & the author's grasp of the English language is somewhat questionable. Furthermore, "discontinued" implies the military structure itself was disbanded & the name retired indefinitely, which is not the impression I got from the use of the word "fired," though YMMV.

Anyhow, if you want to change the wording from "fired" to "discontinued," I'll not intervene, since it's obvious to me that you're editing in good faith at this point. If the admins disagree with your perspective, the wording can be easily adjusted as needed. As it stands, this will likely be my last response on the issue until Sav and/or Sak reply in response. I respect your willingness to engage in this discussion in a civilized manner&mdash;it reminds me of the good old days when this wiki was characterized by its friendly, lengthy policy discussions. Cheers!
