This started as a reply to your comment here, but then I saw your latest edit to your Profile...

While I don't often weigh in on comments, it's worth pointing out that the Wiki is not just about "expressing creativity"—it permits users to adopt any part of canon they want and change or omit any part they don't want, as long as the overall product is clearly still "Star Wars Fanon". For example, take your critique "They all had two digit numbers, such as Alpha-17 or Alpha-01"—well, that's clearly not the rule in this user's variation of the Star Wars universe.

If you feel irresistibly compelled to point out variations from canon (or Legends), okay, but understand that there's nothing to "fix". As long as an article complies with the Content policy and the Article guidelines, it's fair game.

Speaking of policies, at time of writing you have the following on your user page: "You'll often find me editing bad pages, with god-modded characters. If you clicked on me for the latest edits, no I did not write that garbage clone that can use the Force, or that guy who never dies." (emphasis added)

You're entitled to your opinion, of course, but you're not entitled to express it in a way that contravenes the Participation Guidelines (NB also, per here, that User Pages are not exempt from the Guidelines). Note especially the second guideline "Be civil". Characterizing other users' work as "bad" or "garbage" is not civil, and arguably fails to "Assume good faith" as well.

If you want to help a user (who wants your help) improve an article in some way, great! If you feel an article has flaws or room for improvement and want to point them out in a neutral, constructive way, fine. But if all you have is criticism, and especially when it's caustically phrased, best practice is to keep it to yourself.
