Wookieepedia:AC/Meeting 106

As a consequence of the 2018 European heat wave, everything has turned into sand. Hence, on August 18, 4 PM ET, we will all gather in the AgriCorps IRC channel to discuss our favorite sand memories. Don't forget to bring beverages, because AC Meeting 106 will be coarse, rough, and irritating.

I don't like sand

It's coarse, rough...

• Jor Drakas (diff • review)

and irritating.

• Imperial Support Vessel — Has undergone a sizable expansion from the Thrawn comic (about 3000 bytes). I propose a Redux. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 23:06, August 11, 2018 (UTC)
• Unidentified duck individual
  • This edit has introduced both a redlink and a date discrepancy between intro and body. Imperators II^(Talk) 23:15, August 11, 2018 (UTC)
  • The ABY date needs proper referencing, anyway. Imperators II^(Talk) 23:15, August 11, 2018 (UTC)
  • I don't see any reason for the use of the phrase "space duck" to refer to this individual. Imperators II^(Talk) 23:15, August 11, 2018 (UTC)
  • Especially given that ducks are a thing in SW, I believe this article should be named "Unidentified duck-like individual." Imperators II^(Talk) 23:15, August 11, 2018 (UTC)
• Wish You Among the Stars
  • I find it ridiculous that more than half of the intro is dedicated to trying to explain the dating system, some of which is actually worded speculatively here.
  • If the article mentions five years before Yavin, then 5 BBY should be implemented into the article, preferably not just through pipelinking
  • "which some considered 'treacly.'" Who are these "some"? I'm pretty sure it's just the one character. This is bad extrapolation.
  • None of this is especially relevant or necessary. Just say the band originated in one source from Star Wars Legends, even though I suspect this might bring the article below the 250-word threshold for GAs: "Plexo-33, known as a band in Star Wars Legends but not described as such in Servants of the Empire: Rebel in the Ranks, appeared in sources such as "Top-Selling Sound Slugs" from HoloNet News Vol. 531 53 and Star Wars Galaxies: An Empire Divided in the Star Wars Expanded Universe. These are both now considered part of Star Wars Legends, making both sources no longer official canon. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 16:06, August 12, 2018 (UTC)
• 126 — Sub-par infobox image should be reuploaded as a higher-quality digital version at sufficient width to fit the infobox. Maybe even a body image could be found? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:10, August 14, 2018 (UTC)
• Whrr — BTS needs to be sourced. That publication date is not self-sourcing. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:12, August 14, 2018 (UTC)
• Battle of Barkhesh
  • Reference 2 is completely unlinked and unsourced.
    • I could not find the reasoning for reference 2, or that the Battle of Lubang Minor is the next battle. The article's original next battle at the time of nomination was the Search for the Nonnah. I assume the change was part of the larger effort to organise the battles of the Galactic Civil War, but I cannot substantiate the logic behind it, so I have reverted it to the Search for the Nonnah, which is the next battle in the game.
  • The sourcing for the ABY date probably needs to be checked, as well. Imperators II^(Talk) 09:18, August 16, 2018 (UTC)
    • Added extra sourcing for the ABY date. Also moved page to "Rendezvous on Barkhesh" which is the level name, rather than keep it at a conjectural name. - Sir Cavalier of One^{(Squadron channel)} 14:58, August 18, 2018 (UTC)
• Tirs Maladane — Redink. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:25, August 16, 2018 (UTC)
• Zal
  • Intro is waaay too long.
  • Biography could use subsectioning
  • More quotes in Bio subsections if available
  • BTS unsourced Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:28, August 16, 2018 (UTC)
• Yeep
  • The HNN articles cannot be used as a straight source for the 22 BBY date, since those news articles use GrS dates, which need to be converted in a ref note.
  • "Before or during"/"Prior to or during" is speculative language. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:34, August 16, 2018 (UTC)
• Sith Emperor's ritual
  • BTS unsourced.
  • The larger issue with this article is that it's 1446 words long. For the record, we are required by policy to grandfather in 1000+-word GAs that passed prior to February 19, 2013. But this article gained GA status in August 2013 and was already at 1049 words when it passed, to the blame of the ACs who reviewed it at the time. We are under no obligation to excuse the word count, considering it should never have become a GA in the first place. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:45, August 16, 2018 (UTC)
• Zellos
  • Missing infobox info -- it's pretty clear from the images in the article that his hair is brown and his eyes are blue. This belongs in P/T as well.
  • Infobox-exclusive info: Skin color; belongs in P/T as well.
  • I would like to see the third Bio paragraph broken up into two smaller ones, for four total Biography paragraphs. This will allow for subsectioning as well as the addition of another image and quote, if available.
  • An Equipment section looks tenable.
  • The BTS should mention the date for the character's introduction in the fifth Timeline entry. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 14:20, August 17, 2018 (UTC)
• Mikkian — Update required, which was apparently only partially completed. I would like to carry out this probation procedure through the Redux page, since it's already undergone a sizable expansion and still has more to go. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:37, August 18, 2018 (UTC)

And it gets everywhere

Expand as needed

• We need to do the next round of meeting duties. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:53, August 18, 2018 (UTC)
