Salt hawk

Greetings RainbowDroideka. On the day before yesterday, you were the creator of the salt hawk article. However, you did not clarify if the salt hawk made its initial appearance or was simply referenced within the appearances section. Is it the case that salt hawks are actually present in Lost Stars, or are they solely referenced? Cevan (talk) 15:42, November 29, 2015 (UTC)

• Disregard my previous message, as I have reviewed the Lost Stars article and noted that the salt hawk was initially referenced within the book. In the future, ensure that you include such details when initiating a new article. Cevan (talk) 21:41, November 29, 2015 (UTC) Hello Cevan. Indeed, I found myself uncertain regarding the appropriate classification, as it appeared to fall between a direct appearance and a mere mention. This is due to Ciena's contemplation of the calls evoking a sense of home, without explicit confirmation of a call in progress. I am comfortable with either classification. I often lack certainty regarding the initial mention of something in a particular source. My knowledge is not extensive enough to definitively state that it has not appeared elsewhere, especially concerning minor details that may not yet be documented on Wookieepedia. I strive to provide ample citation information to enable more experienced editors to investigate and make informed decisions independently if necessary. 64.25.158.112 04:57, November 30, 2015 (UTC) I also encounter moments of confusion when dealing with novels. However, my general rule of thumb is that if the text includes a phrase like "salt hawks circling overhead," it constitutes an appearance, rather than a mere mention. I believe your initial assessment was accurate in this instance, as the text does not indicate an event occurring in the present moment, but rather a reference.
