Object

Ayrehead

• Needs NOTOC. Ayrehead02 (talk) 16:39, January 20, 2014 (UTC)
  • Done.
• Kill the redirect in the Bts. Ayrehead02 (talk) 16:39, January 20, 2014 (UTC)
  • Why does Wikia even autorecognize redirects? This seems to only serve to confuse users. :/
• Could mention some of the other characteristics shown in the picture, its eyes, tail and mouth etc. Ayrehead02 (talk) 16:39, January 20, 2014 (UTC)
  • Expanded.
• Is canceled the right tag? I think it should be cut content. Ayrehead02 (talk) 16:39, January 20, 2014 (UTC)
  • Changed.
• It needs a 1stm or 1st somewhere. I'd assume on the season source.Ayrehead02 (talk) 16:39, January 20, 2014 (UTC)
  • And done. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 17:24, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Savaged

• "used the Gampassa species' shield shell as a location" -- I'm unclear what this means. Do you mean that they use the shells of Gampassas to found cities? The singulars here make it confusing: "the Gampassa" and "a location." If there is only one city, this needs to be clarified. Also, are these Gampassas alive or dead?
  • The shells form an island, which I thought would have been explained clearly enough. Fixed that. And it seems quite akin to the real life myths such as the one mentioned in the blog entry where the turtle islands are alive, though the sources don't exactly say alive.
• Is Gampassa capitalized in the original sources? Seems odd if it is.
  • The Blog capitalizes its one usage of the word.
• Again, in BTS, "The Gampassa was intended to appear…" Is there only one Gampassa, or is this a species?
  • Species, fixed.
• I noticed in your edit history, you changed all plurals to "Gampassa" since no plural is ever specified. Since the Wook is in English, it would make more sense to just pluralize per standard English conventions, i.e., Gampassas. Either way, it's probably worth noting in BTS that no plural has been specified in the sources.
  • Done.
• You can give quite a bit more detail on its appearance and anatomy: a rounded and oblong body, a short and stubby tail that comes to a point at the back, the two forelimbs are much longer than the four other limbs, all the limbs are flipper-like and shaped like triangles with the point facing downward, wrinkled skin, gray skin with a brown shell. It's also notable in the drawing that they at least sometimes swim at the surface of the water such that their shell sticks out of the water like an island. ~Savage 14:47, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
  • Done. As for the shell sticking out the surface on the island, I think it would be obvious that its entire time was spent that way given the Nautolans living on the shell. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 15:49, January 25, 2014 (UTC)
    • It's a notable aspect of their behavior that I think bears explicit mention. I mean, nowhere do we hear in the article that they swam, let alone that they swam at the top of the ocean. ~Savage 16:54, January 28, 2014 (UTC)
      • Done, and word count is 238 with no intro. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 01:30, January 29, 2014 (UTC)
        • Intro added, time to archive as failed and bring to GAN page. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 01:46, January 29, 2014 (UTC)
