  1. Source the infobox, and fix the issues with punctuation in regards to quotation marks. --Imperialles 10:28, 30 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Done all that needs doing. If the rest means waiting on a certain CT, so be it. -- Ozzel 09:17, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
      • After a month with an even vote and no activity, that CT has been closed, with the result of no consensus. The Inq doesn't want to see this nom die. Can some sort of agreement be sought out? Graestan(Talk) 18:33, 14 January 2008 (UTC)

    • I'm guessing you voted in the wrong place... Otherwise, please make your objection more specific. ;-) -- Ozzel 21:47, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
  3. From the desk of Atarumaster88
    • More thorough external linking needed (Chicago, Illinois)
      • Check. -- Ozzel 07:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
    • "The next year, he did Dig magazine's The Lost City of Tatooine and the Random House children's book Anakin to the Rescue.". A better verb than "did" would be helpful, especially since the redlink doesn't exactly allow readers to find out what he did.
      • Check. (Side note: someone with that magazine really needs to make an article and add the info to the site.) -- Ozzel 07:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Wherever you first use "RPG", there had better be a parenthetical statement to the effect of (Role Playing Game) in case there is one nerd who doesn't know what RPG means.
      • Linked. -- Ozzel 07:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
    • "...conceptual artist Ralph McQuarrie as one of his major influences, as a child and professionally." That last clause could use some explanation because I could read that in an alternate manner and be amused.
      • Understandable. Hopefully fixed now. -- Ozzel 07:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
    • 4 redlinks.
      • I count 3, with one being a duplicate between the text and the list (the aforementioned "Lost City of Tatooine"). -- Ozzel 07:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Nothing on personal life? Not at all? Heck, if Burl Ives can have some personal life, so can Chris Trevas, who is way more awesome.
      • Burl Ives was a high-profile celebrity. Chris Trevas, while I'd certainly be thrilled to meet him and would ask for his autograph if I ran into him on the street, isn't exactly E! Online fodder, if you know what I mean. Aside from perhaps a sentence worth of trivia from his MySpace, there's really not much I could say. -- Ozzel 07:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
        • You could at least mention the fact that he lives in Walled Lake, Michigan and owns his own illustration company. Given that he's *linked* to us on his MySpace profile, he might even be receptive to a request for interview. That's a judgment call, of course. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 14:26, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
          • He doesn't own a company; he's freelance. And while you might be right, generating content ain't part of the deal; covering what we got is. As for residence, that was an infobox field, but Imp apparently removed it on account of it being "stupid." -- Ozzel 02:57, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
            • But, uh, you didn't cover the fact that he's, you know, single for all the fangirls out there! :-P Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 16:26, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Have a Super Terrific Friendly Un-frustrating day Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 06:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Remarkably un-frustrating, actually. ;-) -- Ozzel 07:29, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
  4. "Companies" in the infobox should really be sourced.—Graestan(This party's over) 03:50, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Not after we correct the policy. But I understand if you have to object until then. -- Ozzel 05:25, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
      • Regardless, the next field is a link to the citation, so I'll allow it. But that in itself is still a stretch. Graestan(This party's over) 00:57, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Comments

  • Is there any way to make the different tables of his work all have the same span widths? I think it would look tidier. --Eyrezer 02:14, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
    • Imp fixey. -- Ozzel 09:17, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
      • I was also hoping to get the column widths the same as though it is the continuation of one big table... --Eyrezer 09:59, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
        • Eh... I started out with one big table, but I figured that splitting them up would make them easier to navigate and be a more efficient use of space. I would have to go back to a single table to do that, and I'm not really sure I want to. -- Ozzel 00:45, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
