Did Palpatine bury the Lusankya with Telekinesis?

None of which is mutually exclusive.

I'd it holds up to scrutiny, Sidious may be the most powerful telekinetic in Star Wars history.

I know you're being facetious but the mental gymnastics here are kind of funny.

When the text is linear, there's not much room for contortion.

Clearly when they say he used his dark side powers to bury it, they meant that he used telepathy, because they read other sources that said he did so, and just worded it vaguely. That's more likely than that they read those sources and decided to just ignore that action in favor of some other application of the Force that just happens to sound ambiguously similar to the original to befuddle people.

If a textbook says that a politician used political influence to purge some criminal records, there is a set of possible ways they may have used that influence, but if another textbook gives a very specific manner X, it makes more sense to say that the first one was referring to X rather than to Y.

Palpatine's use of telepathy concealed the burial. That's not the same as using telepathy to actually bury it. The text says he buried the ship in a demonstration of dark side power.

What is this quote from Gideon that Ellimist has as his sig ??

Great. Time to add it to my RotJ RT. Which Fact File is it, Temp?

The residual emission of his FLS engulfed an entire Starship in an instant; the defenses of the starship were compromised and passengers got electrocuted, at the same time. 😉

The Fact File is pretty straightforward: he used the Force to bury the ship. Per other sources, he also used the Force to conceal the burial from witnesses.

Pretty epic.

Like I said, the text merely says that Palpatine buried the ship on the edge of the Imperial City and that this served as a demonstration of his power. What exactly the demonstration was isn't clarified and obviously refers to the mind fogging that's mentioned in other sources.

How would Mind Controlling people to not see something be a demonstration of his power? Unless you think he was demonstrating it to himself, lmfao.

Uh, he did that regardless you tool. Why would he demonstrate his power by burying it with TK and then mind fog everyone to not notice as a demonstration?

Because he can.

The TK wasn't the demonstration, since he mind fogged everyone. The demonstration was that he could do it in plain view of the city and have nobody know about it. The mind fogging alone serves to satisfy the quotes description of the event. No TK is necessary.

She renamed the vessel Lusankya, and, with help from the Emperor's mind-fogging powers, Imperial engineers buried the tremendous battleship beneath the cityscape in Coruscant's Manarai Mountain district.

TNEGTC came out in April 2002. The Fact File in question came out in June 2002. There's no contradiction, anyway. Palpatine used the dark side to bury the ship and then used the dark side to conceal it from witnesses.
