Wookieepedia:Comprehensive article nominations/Apapaba

The following discussion is preserved as an archive of a comprehensive article nomination that was successful. Please do not modify it.

Apapaba

• Nominated by: ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:32, February 25, 2018 (UTC)
• Nomination comments: One of four characters all mentioned in one breath in Servants of the Empire: Imperial Justice and never mentioned again. I had originally made these all pretty much the same article (since there's really nothing that differentiates them but their names), but it was felt that they should still all be different, so I've re-written the rest with different wording. Still, I'm posting this as a test case, and based on how things go with this, I'll nominate the others. ProfessorTofty (talk) 19:32, February 25, 2018 (UTC)

Object

Tommy

• There is a redirect in the BTS.—Tommy-Macaroni ^{(TAKE A SEAT)} 19:36, February 25, 2018 (UTC)
  • Been taken care of by another editor. ProfessorTofty (talk) 06:49, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
• BTS needs to be sourced.—Tommy-Macaroni ^{(TAKE A SEAT)} 19:36, February 25, 2018 (UTC)
  • Addressed this while also addressing the below objection regarding this section - most of this section is now gone.
• Year of release for Imperial Justice?—Tommy-Macaroni ^{(TAKE A SEAT)} 19:36, February 25, 2018 (UTC)
  • That's added. ProfessorTofty (talk) 06:49, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
• Please add a backup link for the Lothal databank.—Tommy-Macaroni ^{(TAKE A SEAT)} 19:43, February 27, 2018 (UTC)
  • Backup URL added. ProfessorTofty (talk) 06:49, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
• You don't need another ref for the date; just state the year and ref that to Imperial Justice itself.—Tommy-Macaroni ^{(TAKE A SEAT)} 09:18, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
  • Done. ProfessorTofty (talk) 18:35, March 7, 2018 (UTC)

Jangeth

• For now, please include an infobox. JangFett ^(Talk) 19:42, February 27, 2018 (UTC)
  • Wookieepedia:Layout Guide#Infobox, last item. Imperators II^(Talk) 08:20, February 28, 2018 (UTC)
    • Per the above - since no personal information is provided about the character, there's nothing to put in the infobox and so there shouldn't be one. Could you please strike this? ProfessorTofty (talk) 06:49, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
      • Objection(s) overridden by EduCorps 20:30, March 19, 2018 (UTC)

Ayrehead

• You should provide a date for when this occurred. Ayrehead02 (talk) 13:10, March 1, 2018 (UTC)
  • Sorry, I missed this before. Dating added. ProfessorTofty (talk) 18:35, March 7, 2018 (UTC)
• Context for Spanjaf. Ayrehead02 (talk) 13:10, March 1, 2018 (UTC)
  • Context added. ProfessorTofty (talk) 06:49, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
• Could you reword the second sentence so it doesn't start with Apapaba, it sounds weird immediately after the same start in the first sentence. Ayrehead02 (talk) 13:10, March 1, 2018 (UTC)
  • Done. ProfessorTofty (talk) 06:49, March 4, 2018 (UTC)
• You can probably cut down the BTS to be honest. I don't think any of the information there needs to be included other than the fact the character was first mentioned in Imperial Justice. The rest is either redundant or seems like it should be in a reference if you need to explain it. Ayrehead02 (talk) 13:10, March 1, 2018 (UTC)
  • Alright, cut it all away, though as mentioned above in the earlier objections, also added publication date for Imperial Justice. ProfessorTofty (talk) 06:49, March 4, 2018 (UTC)

Imperators

• You shouldn't be using "he" to refer to an individual whose gender is unspecified.
  • Ah, dagnabit, I thought I had purged any such remaining wording. Alright, that's taken care of. ProfessorTofty (talk) 20:58, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
• "informant" is not the same as "information broker." Does the novel previously talk about information brokers specifically? Imperators II^(Talk) 17:20, March 19, 2018 (UTC)
  • It does not. However, "informant" currently acts as a redirect to our Legends article for "Information broker," which defines the two as synonymous, which was why I made the leap, even though the synonym isn't used in our canon article. Would it be better to just drop the link? ProfessorTofty (talk) 20:58, March 21, 2018 (UTC)
    • Yes. Imperators II^(Talk) 18:54, March 22, 2018 (UTC)
      • Link removed. ProfessorTofty (talk) 16:18, March 24, 2018 (UTC)
• The chronology note should only be used to reference the date, not other information. Imperators II^(Talk) 18:54, March 22, 2018 (UTC)
  • Right. Put in another Imperial Justice ref to take care of that. ProfessorTofty (talk) 16:18, March 24, 2018 (UTC)

Ecks Dee

• Honestly, I'd just remove the image. It doesn't really add anything informative, and the article isn't long enough to need an image to break up the text. 1358 ^(Talk) 22:36, March 28, 2018 (UTC)
  • I wasn't the one who added it - that was actually the previous objector, Imperators. I don't disagree with you, though, so I've removed it. If he feels otherwise, I guess you and he can discuss it in the comments or somewhere. ProfessorTofty (talk) 05:05, April 4, 2018 (UTC)
    • An image in the top right corner of an article is essentially where an infobox image goes normally, so I find it a bit misleading to have an image of something that's not of the subject itself. I'll try to catch Imperators on IRC sometime to discuss this, though. 1358 ^(Talk) 11:18, April 4, 2018 (UTC)
      • Yeah, I kinda feel the same way. And for that matter, we don't even know that this character is a native Lothalite, just that they're being sheltered there, so the purpose for the image feels kind of weak to me. ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:58, April 5, 2018 (UTC)
