Burned at the stake
- Nice to see you here, Fe Nite. ~~First off, "scenes" in "Behind the scenes" is not capitalized. Same goes for "Notes and references".~~
  - Ah man! I think I have done the same thing on all the pages I have created. I fixed it on IPS and I will look into it on the other pages. Fe Nite (talk) 16:58, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- ~~Please provide context on what "Mos Eisley" and "Tatooine" are. For Tatooine, include the galactic region (and maybe the sector if you feel like it) that it's located in and remember to source it.~~
  - Not 100% sure what you meant but I think I got it. Fe Nite (talk) 16:58, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
    - Almost. For the Essential Atlas ref, place it straightaway after the word Outer Rim. The way it is now makes it seem like the Essential Atlas is also a source for all the information in that paragraph. I would suggest the following scheme: located in Mos Eisley spaceport^{[Best Birthday ref]} on the Outer Rim^{[Essential Atlas ref]} planet of Tatooine.^{[Best Birthday ref]}. Stake black ^msg 17:33, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
      - Done.
- ~~There's no need to use the same ref twice in a row. It's automatically implied that the ref sources everything that precedes it.~~
  - Someone else fixed it for me but I think I just messed it up again. Fe Nite (talk) 16:58, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- ~~Appearances needs a {{1st}}.~~
  - Done. Fe Nite (talk) 16:58, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- ~~"Over-sized" package redistribution center? Sounds like POV.~~
  - No. Best Birthday Ever specifically calls it the over-sized package redistribution center. You could even make the argument that it needs its own page. Fe Nite (talk) 16:58, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- For now that'll do. Stake black ^msg 17:50, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
- Bonus round
  - ~~Please use {{Company}}, add the revelant fields and source them.~~
    - Done.
      - I think you forgot to source the fields filled. Stake black ^msg 22:10, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
        Yep. Fe Nite (talk) 22:27, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
        
        Done.
  - ~~Add more context to Best Birthday Ever. What is it? A comic book? A graphic novel? Also, like 501st said, the release date should be there too. Stake black ^msg 17:33, February 20, 2013 (UTC)~~
    - Done. Fe Nite (talk) 22:06, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
Nice to see you writing
- ~~I think you could mention Bib in the article, and how he goes to pick up the parcel.~~
  - Done. Fe Nite (talk) 21:26, February 24, 2013 (UTC)
    - How bout giving us some context as to who these characters are. Only minor though, like "the Hutt crime lord" Jabba for example. 501st dogma^(talk) 21:12, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
      - How about that?
        Could you add that crumb was a monkey lizard? 501st dogma^(talk) 22:53, March 6, 2013 (UTC)
        Ok. Sorry it is taking me so long. I've been swamped. I'll probably fix it tomorrow. Fe Nite (talk) 23:12, March 9, 2013 (UTC)
        There you go. Fe Nite (talk) 20:55, March 10, 2013 (UTC)
- ~~A date released would be nice in the BTS,~~ ~~and you could put a note about how it's ambiguously canon.~~
  - Read my comment in the comments. Fe Nite (talk) 17:08, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
    - I have no idea either, so we'll see what others have to say.... 501st dogma^(talk) 23:10, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
      - Done. Fe Nite (talk) 22:06, February 23, 2013 (UTC)
- ~~If this article is about the company, I don't think you can have a category for Mos Eisley locations, as that is the category for buildings and such, not companies.~~
  - You know, when I rewrote the article I did not even look at the categories. Fe Nite (talk) 16:58, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
- Don't freak out because there's so many objections. Everybody has this many on their first nom or two. Good job. 501st dogma^(talk) 19:06, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
  - Shoot. This nom has more objections than a FA! No I am just kidding. I kinda expected this. Fe Nite (talk) 16:58, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
Emperor Supreme

~~One minor question, do you know what year Bib and Crumb went to the IPS?~~ Supreme Emperor (talk) 16:46, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
- Well that is the problem this nom has stalled on. If Best Birthday Ever is non-canon it falls under the Infinities and has no real date. However if it is ambiguously canon then the date would probably be between 0 BBY and 4 ABY. Now of course I obviously think the nomination should go on (because I nominated it) but I think everyone is waiting on a confirmation. I have been planning to do some research into it but I haven't the time yet. All I know is that according to Wikipedia it is considered non-canon. But where did they get that information is the problem. Fe Nite (talk) 17:08, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
  - Fair enough, i'll strike my objection, other than that, nicely done. Supreme Emperor (talk) 05:36, March 2, 2013 (UTC)
    - Well, hey, hey. You want to support it? ; ) Fe Nite (talk) 19:50, March 2, 2013 (UTC)

Exiled Jedi
- ~~Please create an article for the over-sized package redistribution center on Dune Street.~~
  - Done.
- ~~Since you refer to Salacious Crumb and Jabba by their species, please do the same for Bib Fortuna.~~--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 12:54, March 11, 2013 (UTC)
  - I kinda butchered that sentence. Please tell me if I messed it up. Fe Nite (talk) 20:03, March 11, 2013 (UTC)

Comments

I thought Best Birthday Ever was non-canon. The nature of the comic sounds non-canon, and also the FA Bidlo Kwerve states that comic to be non-canon, and strangely the comic's article itself is categorized as both ambiguously canon and Infinities. Of course I know the information could be in error, but perhaps something to look into. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 18:39, February 18, 2013 (UTC)
- This one is tricky. If you read Tales from Jabba's Palace there is no specific mention of how the rancor got to the palace. It simply says that it was transported there. This would make the Best Birthday Ever/IPS seem ambiguously canon. However, at the end of Best Birthday Ever Bib, Bidlo, and Tessek all take a plunge into the rancor pit. This of course would make Best Birthday Ever noncanon. However, if you really want to make some speculation that they didn't die when they fell down this story would be back to ambig canon. Therefore, I am going to let someone smarter than me make the call. If it is noncanon I'll fix IPS. If it is ambig someone will have to fix Bidlo Kwerve. Fe Nite (talk) 17:08, February 20, 2013 (UTC)
  - You should talk to others about this. An FA saying something doesn't automatically mean it's the case, but the nature of this comic would make me think it's non-canon. I think I'll ask Leland Chee this. If he doesn't respond, hopefully this site can come to a consensus. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 03:45, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
    - While we wait, I don't think we should kick the nom off the page for unanswered objections, as we are waiting for a response. 501st dogma^(talk) 23:06, February 21, 2013 (UTC)
      - I think I have answered everything now. So are we going to wait to see how the whole noncanon/ambiguous thing turns out? Fe Nite (talk) 21:42, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
        If we're waiting for Leland's answer, we may as well sit here forever... Stake black ^msg 21:52, February 27, 2013 (UTC)
        Or do a consensus. Fe Nite (talk) 01:58, February 28, 2013 (UTC)
        This archived post gives Leland Chee's position on the matter (It's in the middle of the page.) [1] That's probably as good as we're going to get.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 00:05, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
        I guess Best Birthday Ever would be "outrageous" or whatever he said. Which means it is non-canon. Fe Nite (talk) 14:04, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
        Not having read the comic, I cannot say for certain, but that would be my best guess from what I know of it.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 16:37, March 4, 2013 (UTC)
        Ok. I non-canonized everything in the article. I think I have done everything now. I noticed that some of the objections have not been struck yet; but they haven't told me anything more to do. Fe Nite (talk) 18:46, March 5, 2013 (UTC)
