    • Could you rename the "Spelunker probe droid" section? The title is a bit expressionless in my opinion and says nothing about the content of the section. Maybe something like "creation" could describe this better.
      • How's manufacture?
    • Your sixth reference says "Star Wars: Clone Wars director commentary". Can this be a bit more specific? Is this commentary on any DVD or available in the Web so that it's easier to verifiable? Also, is it known which director made that statement?
      • Clone Wars Volume One. I'm not aware of it being on the internet however. And the entire thing is spoken by the one director.
    • The descriptions of the quotes currently just say "Yoda" and "Dooku" which is not really explaining. Please describe a bit more when they used the quote and in which situation.
      • Expanded a bit.
    • Great work otherwise. Pranay Sobusk ~ Talk 16:06, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
  2. The third paragraph of "History", talking about Yoda's mind trick and such, strays too far from the subject. Axe everything that isn't needed for context of the crew's role in dealing with the droids—pretty much everything but the first two sentences. - Lord Hydronium 23:30, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
    • Better? SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is the truth) 02:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
      • Honestly? I'd just cut out everything but Yoda sensed them and headed there. It's about the droids on Ilum, so it really doesn't matter to the subject what was going on aboard the skiff. - Lord Hydronium 09:17, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
        • I cut out more and integrated it into the previous paragraph. I feel that the naming of his companions should be there to provide context on why they were present with him later. If it's still not satisfactory, feel free to go in there and make some changes yourself. SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is a lie) 23:39, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
  3. I'm guessing that the NEGTD has images of the chameleon droids at Geonosis and Felucia without context, explaining those rather random moments in the history section. Perhaps to explain why those parts of the History section come seemingly out of nowhere, you should explain in the BTS that the NEGTD has those images. If that's not the case, please ignore. :P Thefourdotelipsis 01:37, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
    • Yes, they are uncaptioned images. I had Lord Oblivion check it up. The problem is that the planets they depict are not named. LO said that the first image was a screenshot of Felucia from RotS with the droids edited in, but the second image merely looked like desert terrain. My question is, is this enough to assume that Felucia and Geonosis are indeed the two planets depicted, and if not, what should I do? Since they occurred at an unknown time, where should I place them in the body? SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is the truth) 03:49, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
      • Well, Felucia is pretty unique, so that can stay. Does the desert image feature the Geonosis hives or anything? If not, just mention a "desert world" or something. Also, it's fine to place these in the body, just qualify them with a "At some stage" or something like that. Thefourdotelipsis 21:47, 22 April 2009 (UTC)
  4. From the Chron-O-John of Green Tentacle:
    • "A camouflaged Spelunker probe droid becoming visible." Should that caption not say camouflaged chameleon droid?
      • Right you are.
    • There's a lot of description in the second paragraph of Manufacture and conversion that would better be covered in the Description section. Green Tentacle (Talk) 20:17, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Comments

  • Cav has previously raised some issues about whether this article should be split into Spelunker probe droid and chameleon droid, on the basis that they were completely overhauled for a different purpose. I think he may have convinced me. Thoughts? (I really don't mind either way, since I could probably still make chameleon droid an FA and then GA Spelunker :-) SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is a lie) 23:19, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
    • Personally, I think that the changes made to the model are enough to warrant a split. Thefourdotelipsis 04:11, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
    • I guess it depends on whether the model was converted entirely over (in which case I would consider the chameleon a refinement of the spelunker line) or whether the chameleon was an alternate model of the spelunker and they coexisted (in which case I'd consider them separate). - Lord Hydronium 23:30, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
      • It doesn't really state how many of the were converted, all it says was "redesigned" and "overhauled." I actually support a split now, on the basis that we have articles on R2, R3, R4, ..., all the way up to R9. Do I need to start a vote or something? SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is the truth) 23:51, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

After consulting with several Inqs, I will be splitting this article into Spelunker probe droid and Chameleon droid. Please hold here. SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is the truth) 00:36, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
