  • Considering this appears in two video games, I expect there is sufficient information for this to be a Good article length. As a start there should be a Description section on the appearance, layout, structure, etc of the facility. --Eyrezer 04:36, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
  • There is also linking issues I see that need to be fixed when you re-write it.--Cal JediInfinite Empire (Personal Comm Channel) 19:52, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
    • Well, it seems I fixed a few in my copy-edit. Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 21:55, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
  • The intro needs expanded. If i'm not mistaken, everything in the infobox/body needs to be linked in the intro as well. Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 21:55, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
    • As a reminder, this still remains.. Katarn isn't even mentioned. Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 22:17, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
  • Also, the Ewok is an Easter Egg, right? If thats the case, then it needs mentioned in the BTS and possibly a "gamemechanics tag" in the body. Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 21:55, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
    • Added. DjMack 03:41, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
  • Is there an actual source that says the two locations are one and the same? Also, source for 1 ABY, since much of Rogue Squadron I takes place 0.5 ABY? Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 21:55, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
    • As for the two locations, the storyline of Rogue Squadron is heavily influenced by Dark Forces, with many levels being continuations of events depicted in Dark Forces. Its referred to as an "Imperial Weapon Research Facility" in Rogue Squadron, so it has to be the same. As for the date, corrected. DjMack 03:31, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
      • Now you have 0 ABY in the intro and 1 ABY in the body. I think it neeeds to be one or the other. Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 13:23, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
        • Actually, you could probably source "about 0.5 ABY" to the New Essential Chronology. Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 20:35, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
  • Any quotes? Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 21:55, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
    • Added. DjMack 03:31, September 26, 2011 (UTC)
  • Glad to see you are participating in WP:VG, even with just a guest nom. Take care of these objections and we'll move on from there! Corellian PremierRobotechAll along the watchtower 21:55, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
    • As Project lead, I too am very glad to see it! I struck my objection, and will look the article over again once you take care of these. :) --Cal JediInfinite Empire (Personal Comm Channel) 23:33, September 25, 2011 (UTC)
  • I'd like to echo Eyrezer's objection. A "description" section should be added prior to the "History" section that details the building's location, physical appearance, purpose and function, et al. It will most likely take the article past 250 words, but definitely nominate it for a good article. It'll be a great learning experience. Menkooroo 10:55, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Comments

  • Eyrezer's objection has been unaddressed for two weeks. The nominator hasn't shown any inclination to expand the article, so I'll be removing this nom. DJ, I'd like to encourage you to expand this, add a "Description" section, and nominate it to be a Good Article. Menkooroo 05:09, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
