1. Wow, a real astro droid! How do you get so lucky?
   • Remember to never link the bolded text of an article's intro (in this case, the first instance of astromech droid). You can link it on the second mention, though.
     • Got it.
   • "Unidentified" should generally only be used in an article's title, and possibly Behind the scenes. In the In-universe section, not so much --- just because Jaden doesn't know its name, doesn't mean nobody does.
     • OK.
   • Short-forms generally shouldn't be used --- ie, keep up "astromech droid" rather than "astro droid" throughout.
     • Fixed.
   • Should the power plant receive an article? It seems like a noteworthy enough location. If so, could it be added to the "affiliation" field of the infobox? That is, does the droid definitely work there? Menkooroo 15:09, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
     • There you go! Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 01:43, July 11, 2011 (UTC)
   • Just a few more (sorry it took so long to get back to!): In the infobox and the body, I'd note the other colour (black and... what is that, maroon? Auburn? Copper? Use you best judgment :P).
     • Uhh, it looks gold, (I guess) :P Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 01:35, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
   • Is it known who the Remnant took the facility from?
     • No, the game simply says that the Remnant took the facility. Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 17:11, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
   • A couple more words of context on Jaden and why he was sent there might be in order --- that is, who sent him? Aaaaaand what's a "Padawan?" The word "Jedi" doesn't appear in the article at all.
     • Try that. I didn't add too much since Savage said below that I had too much in the article. Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 01:45, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
   • Something that I always like to do with tiny articles is to find other In-universe articles that could link to it and then add the link somewhere. This isn't a requirement, but it's a good habit to get into. If you're up for it, Mission to Bakura (Disciples of Ragnos crisis) and Bakuran power station could definitely link to this guy.

     • Try that. The first article already had a link, it was just a redirect link. So I fixed it. Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 01:42, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

   • I think you can scale back a tad on the info about why Korr was in the plant. I'm not sure you need to mention Katarn at all, for instance.
     • OK.
   • If you're duck testing this droid to be an R2 unit, does that mean we can duck test his manufacturer as Industrial Automaton? If so, add them to the infobox and body somewhere.
     • Fixed.
   • Similarly, you can add height based on the stats in EGTD or NEGTD. (This probably doesn't apply for the equipment fields, since R2s were so highly customizable. But I'd guess height holds steady from model to model.)
     • Got it.
   • I'm mostly unfamiliar with droid articles, but I think the "plating" field in the infobox is for the droid's paint scheme. At any rate, this droids coloration should be mentioned in the body even if there's not a place for it in the infobox. ~Savage 13:36, July 23, 2011 (UTC)
     • Done. Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 21:21, July 23, 2011 (UTC)
       • He seems to have copper or gold plating too. Can you add that? ~Savage 14:04, July 24, 2011 (UTC)
         • Try that. Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 01:35, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
