Object

  1. Two consecutive commas in the third quote. Have a look. I would correct it, but I don't know what the original source says. Stake black msg 03:04, March 21, 2013 (UTC)
    • Yeah, that there in error, thanks for spotting it. Fixed. --Jinzler (talk) 19:30, March 22, 2013 (UTC)
Floyd has one thing
  • Intro: "During the Clone Wars, the battle droid participated in a battle on the planet Bogoa against the forces of the Galactic Republic, a rival state to the Confederacy, and the droid was selected as the subject for an experiment enacted by the Confederate leader Count Dooku, to test the willingness of a programmed being to disregard its primary protocols." This is a very choppy and flow-killing sentence. Try to smooth it out. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 02:19, March 23, 2013 (UTC)
Cav
  • Spelling error in the header quote? Should it read What is your designated number (bolded mine)? Or is it incorrect in the source? - Sir Cavalier of OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 22:22, April 1, 2013 (UTC)
    • Yeah, that was a mistake, and I have now corrected the quote. Thanks for taking a look at the article. --Jinzler (talk) 20:49, April 3, 2013 (UTC)
Attack of the Clone
  • The intro paragraph is a tad long; please find somewhere to separate it.
  • There's a very small inconsistency that I nevertheless would like to address. Depending on personal preference, you can either choose to include the "a/an" attributive in links, e.g. a battle vs. a battle. There's a slight discrepancy regarding this in the article, since the intro uses a battle while the Bio section uses an engagement. Both are correct, but I would ask that you choose one style for consistency and keep it in mind for the future.
  • It seems like the "Characteristics" section would be a good place to reiterate the fact that Coppertop decided to deactivate himself, since that was a rather extreme expression of his personality.
  • The Bts should reflect that The Only Good Clanker was reprinted in Star Wars: The Clone Wars Magazine 9.
  • Unless there is a confirmed canonical connection between Coppertop and the more political-based droid rights movement in the "See also" section, I would ask that the "See also" section be removed. I realize that it's a related topic, but in this case, it seems more like OR than an official connection. CC7567 (talk) 17:46, May 14, 2013 (UTC)
    • I fully agree with you on this one and I have removed it. The "see also" section was added by another user after I had nominated the article and I was never quite happy with its presence there. Thank you very much for you review; I apologize for the delay in responding to your objections, I've had a lot on at work over the last couple of weeks and I missed your review when it flagged up on my watchlist. --Jinzler (talk) 18:34, May 27, 2013 (UTC)
