Imperators II

• Blog backup link!
  • Added. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 00:48, September 5, 2017 (UTC)
• EndorExpress backup links!
  • Added. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 18:51, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
• Could you specify that the Droidnostics Center was on Tomorrowland Starport?
  • Added. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 00:49, September 5, 2017 (UTC)
• I think the BTS quote is redundant, since it's non-narrative text, information from which you have completely covered in the article.
  • Removed. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 14:51, September 4, 2017 (UTC)
• "with a black photoreceptor and white plating, with a silver and teal trim." — do you think you can reword this so that it doesn't start with "with" twice in a row? Imperators II^(Talk) 08:30, September 4, 2017 (UTC)
  • Changed. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 14:51, September 4, 2017 (UTC)
• Please redeco the BTS. Imperators II^(Talk) 19:58, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
  • By that I mean please rewrite the BTS so that it's clearer, less convoluted, doesn't use parentheses, and has a paragraph break. (Look at it in the Oasis skin, it needs to be broken up). Also, can you substitute "redeco" for something that's in dictionaries? Imperators II^(Talk) 19:58, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
    • Split and rewrit. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 21:14, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
      • Surely you can't source the information about R4-M9's Power of the Jedi figure to R2-D7's Star Tours figure? Imperators II^(Talk) 07:32, September 8, 2017 (UTC)
        • Updated reference. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 07:36, September 8, 2017 (UTC)

Ayrehead

• It seems to be operating the track control in the image, is this worth mentioning? Ayrehead02 (talk) 14:32, September 9, 2017 (UTC)
  • Added. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 18:07, September 9, 2017 (UTC)
• I haven't much experience with Star Tours articles, but is referencing the entire first BTS paragraph just to the Star Tours article really the best reference available? Surely something that has the dates and locations written in print would be better at the very least. Ayrehead02 (talk) 14:32, September 9, 2017 (UTC)
  • If there is an official source, I have yet to find it. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 17:22, September 12, 2017 (UTC)
    • Is there not at least a photo or something of the poster? Ayrehead02 (talk) 19:12, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
      • It's been in the External links section the entire time, but I had never thought to actually cite it. Added. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 19:18, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
        • Could you also source the date? Ayrehead02 (talk) 19:26, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
          • Could you be more specific? - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 19:29, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
            • You currently source the year the ride opened just to the ride itself but there's got to be a better source like the complete guide or something. Ayrehead02 (talk) 20:46, September 14, 2017 (UTC)
              • Added. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 01:43, September 15, 2017 (UTC)

Exiled Jedi

• The citation for the date needs additional explanation for why it can be used to source the date for the droid. Since nothing in the reference mentions the droid, it cannot be used by itself.
  • Fixed. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 19:39, September 24, 2017 (UTC)
• The BTS needs to mention the droid's similarity in appearance to the R4-series agromech droid. You might be able to make the argument that it is not confirmed to be an R4 droid, but you should at least note that it looks similar.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 01:57, September 18, 2017 (UTC)
  • Added. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 19:39, September 24, 2017 (UTC)
• After these changes, the word count of the article is at 260. Just leave a comment asking for this article to be archived and this nomination can be archived.--Exiled Jedi (talk) 18:44, September 30, 2017 (UTC)

Comments

• Do you think there's enough evidence to assume that this guy is a part of the R-series? - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 18:51, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
  • What evidence is there? Just the R2 part in its name? Imperators II^(Talk) 19:58, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
    • Yeah, TCSWE just calls i something along the lines of a "conical-headed astromech droid". - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 20:16, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
      • Yeah, better not to assume it, then. Imperators II^(Talk) 20:20, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
        • Yeah, you're probably right. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 20:26, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
• Per above, please archive this nomination. - AV-6R7^{Crew Pit} 19:01, September 30, 2017 (UTC)
