• You've got a naked link in the BTS, which is doubly unnecessary, as the ref note right next to it leads to the same place.
  • Removed. Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 05:58, October 5, 2020 (UTC)
• The wording of the second BTS sentence is odd. "The chindinkalu would later go on to be identified in Droopy McCool's Databank entry, but would be fully identified in Droopy McCool's Base Series 1 card…" Fully identified as what?
  • Fixed. Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 20:42, October 5, 2020 (UTC)
    • After looking into it, are you sure that the Databank entry was the first mention of the name? IA only has Droopy's page going back to March 27, 2015, whereas the Card Trader bit was released two weeks earlier. If the card came out first, then there's no need to mention the DB entry.

      • Fixed. Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 09:27, October 8, 2020 (UTC)
• The last sentence of the BTS just repeats the first, and has nothing to do with Legends. It's also unsourced.
  • Should I just remove the whole sentence? Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 05:58, October 5, 2020 (UTC)
    • If the aim of that sentence is to describe its Legends history, then mentioning ROTJ is pointless. Instead you should mention where it was first identified as the chidinka plant. RattsT (talk) 01:54, October 8, 2020 (UTC)
      • It now just mentions where the chidinka plant was first identified. Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 09:27, October 8, 2020 (UTC)
• "The plant was first depicted in the Star Wars Legends continuity as part of Droopy McCool's musical instrument, the chidinka…" This makes it sound like the chidinka was his instrument, whereas it was really just a plant.
  • Reworded. Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 20:42, October 5, 2020 (UTC)
• The Appearances and Sources lists need to be expanded. Every appearance of the flute would count as an appearance of the plant. Consequently, most appearances of McCool also feature him with the flute, so those will have to be checked as well. This will include going through the various adaptations of Return of the Jedi.
  • Working on it. Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 06:23, October 5, 2020 (UTC)
• Reviewing note: When discussing Legends subjects in the BTS, link to the Legends articles, not the canon ones. RattsT (talk) 05:36, October 5, 2020 (UTC)
  • I didn't even realize they were linking there (which I should've checked). Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 06:23, October 5, 2020 (UTC)

• Please check Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition for a mention of the subject. UberSoldat93 (talk) 08:07, October 5, 2020 (UTC)
  • I know. I'm checking every single source on Droopy McCool's page. Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 18:27, October 5, 2020 (UTC)
    • This should've been done before starting up the nomination. UberSoldat93 (talk) 11:44, October 6, 2020 (UTC)
      • Indeed. Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 16:08, October 7, 2020 (UTC)
        • Are you finished with this? Have you checked all those sources for unique information? UberSoldat93 (talk) 08:07, October 8, 2020 (UTC)
          • I have one thing listed in the sources left to check for unique information (that being Star Wars Character Encyclopedia, New Edition). However, the person I contacted has not yet gotten back to me about that unique information. Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 08:01, October 16, 2020 (UTC)
            • Then this nomination cannot pass until this is done. UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:25, October 16, 2020 (UTC)

Vote to remove nomination (EC only)

1. My objection hasn't been fully addressed for over a week. UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:41, October 16, 2020 (UTC)
2. To be honest, if all the sources weren't checked before the nomination went up, and if the sources necessary for this nomination to pass then cannot be accessed within 7 days, then that's on the nominator. The EC should not be expected to wait past the 7 days clearly stipulated on the CAN page for something like this. Tommy-Macaroni 09:51, October 16, 2020 (UTC)
