I think you should add some images to latter half of the article. They may not be of Bilar, but I am sure you will be able to find some suitable images. --Eyrezer 09:14, December 26, 2010 (UTC)- I did my best. I could swap the Cloud City image for one of Face Loran, but both wouldn't fit. How's it look? ~ SavageBob 16:03, December 26, 2010 (UTC)
- Better, although the GG4 one is probably unnecessary. --Eyrezer 20:06, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

We should probably create an article and link to "catatonia." A search of the word produces apparent multiple examples of it in canon.Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:05, January 14, 2011 (UTC)- I thought we didn't make articles for things that are mostly the same thing in SW as they are in the real world. For instance, I once made an article on traps that was deleted under that criterion. Do you think a link to Wikipedia's article on catatonia would suffice, or do you think it's different enough in SW to warrant the article here?
- I don't think the criteria you refer to is necessarily true in an overall sense, and I would say it definitely does not hold true for diseases and maladies and other conditions. We have articles for measles, the flu, pneumonia, psychosis, pyromania, hypothermia, multiple personality disorder, and on and on. The idea is that if something significant exists in the SW universe, we dedicate an article to it for the sake of cataloging its canonicity, regardless whether it exists in the real world or not. The difference, I think, is that many don't consider "trap" to be notable enough for an article, though I don't mean to start a debate about that here. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:10, January 17, 2011 (UTC)
- Yeah, this is probably something we should SH and CT eventually (notability guidelines for real-world things in SW), but that's not for us to hash out here. I've gone ahead and created a stubby catatonia article; hope that suffices. ~ SavageBob 01:23, January 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Perfect. More than enough. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:25, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Does the source literally refer to the eyes as "almond-shaped"? If not, we should avoid using what is essentially OOU terminology. If it does, it would probably be best to at least leave a redlink for almond: "two large, dark, almond-shaped eyes"- I rechecked Obo Rin's text, and he does not use the word. I've replaced it with "amygdaloid," which is basically Latin for "almond-shaped," but is actually a biological term (used for the almond-shaped amygdala as well as for eyes). I also learned a new word. :) Hopefully that's better.
- I'm good with that. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:10, January 17, 2011 (UTC)

No links for "acrobat" and "huckster"?- Fixed. I'll get to the acrobat redlink soon. There are probably lots of articles that should link to that term that don't.
This link literally suggests that this individual came from the star Oseon, as that's where that link leads. Can we pipelink something more specifically appropriate? "with a gambler from Oseon"- The OS simply says "an Oseon gambler," but that almost certianly means from the system, so I've clarified.
The {{1st}} tag evidently needs to be applied to Solo Command.The BTS would probably benefit from a brief mention explaining that Bilars first appeared in that story.Categories need to be alphabetized.- Keep working on paying closer attention to linking in your nominations. You're a veteran enough user that this is something you should have down by now. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:05, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
- Everything else has been addressed. As for the linking, I'll try to be more careful. I'm constantly surprised by what things we do have articles for (like navel). :) Thanks for the review. ~ SavageBob 03:29, January 15, 2011 (UTC)
