Object

  1. You need to add plot information on the Frog-dogs in the Super Star Wars game. A non-canon section in the BTS is the spot for it. --Eyrezer 23:18, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
    • I'll see what I can do. Did you ever find the strategy guide scans? I wonder if it was me who lost them... :/ ~ SavageBob 01:52, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
    • Is that what you had in mind? ~ SavageBob 06:15, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
      • It will suffice, although ideally I'd like some mention that the events are non-canon because of X, Y and Z. --Eyrezer 11:21, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
  2. Disney presents: The Xenobiologist and the Frog[-dog]. Btw, Skippy here
    • Society: "fit around the frog-dog's neck". Do they have necks? The description under Bio suggested they had not. Or maybe it was just me.
    • Society: "scraps and crumbs if not more appealing fare, like Jawas" Do you mean frog-dogs eat Jawas? Or do frog-dogs share the same diet than Jawas have? Maybe Jawas fed frog-dogs? Anyway, I feel this is very ambiguous.
    • Evilo Nailati is not linked anywhere. Please, link him. Preferably mention him in the main article
    • History: Who hired Bubo?
    • In the galaxy: No ITG section?
    • BTS: "Bubo has often been confused with another creature". Who has confused Bubo?
    • BTS: 'calls the character "a bubo" at one point, although it is unknown if this is a mistake or' A mistake on the part of whom? The writer of the story made the mistake, or maybe a character says "a bubo"?
    • BTS: "appear but play no major role" OR? Maybe "appear in the background" or "without dialogue" would be less daring?
    • Ribbit. Skippy Farlstendoiro 07:01, March 30, 2010 (UTC)
      • I've made a go at addressing your objections except for a couple: No source reveals who hired Bubo; there's no ITG section because I've merged it up into History since if I don't I'll be in breach of the layout guide that straightjackets these articles; the original source uses the passive voice for who confuses Bubo, so I can't really change it; and I'm comfortable with saying they play no major role in those source since they really only appear as background flavor critters. Croak croak woof! ~ SavageBob 05:28, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
  3. "When the droids C-3PO and R2-D2 arrived in the palace in 4 ABY, for example, Bubo dutifully announced their presence with his throaty croak." - You reference this to ROTJ, yet I don't see how you can get "dutifully announced their presence" from the film. If I remember correctly, Bubo only makes a noise because C-3PO walks into him. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research (Comlink) 23:15, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
    • I just rewatched the scene, and Threepio's foot does touch Bubo's foot, but based on what the Ree-Yees DB entry says, it's just a reasonable to assume that Bubo is announcing their arrival. I suppose I could cut it... ~ SavageBob 00:21, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
    • I've tried to make it clearer that the croaking is ambiguous. ~ SavageBob 00:24, May 1, 2010 (UTC)
  4. Toprawa:
    • Please format the Source editions correctly and order Source list in correct chronological publication order. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:57, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
    • Please find a less speculative way of presenting this information. Simply saying that C-3PO had inadvertently kicked him on his way into the throne room would suffice: "although he may have been responding to the protocol droid inadvertently kicking him."
    • Question: BTM literally says this? Otherwise, a different source is needed for this claim: "In the decades since the film's release, Bubo has often been confused with another creature seen in the film, the worrt. The two are members of different species."
    • Not an objection, but would you be open to formatting the non-canon appearances in this article similar to Quockran? Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:41, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
    • Also, are there no other images to stick in the Society and culture section, or somewhere therein, just for the sake of visually-appealing alternating left-right images? Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:48, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
      • I've ordered the sources and fixed the editions stuff, which I (embarrassingly) neglected to do before nominating.
      • I'm not sure I understand your second objection. There are two explanations for Bubo's croaking; either he was announcing their appearance (as the EU would imply), or he was responding to Threepio's kick (as one might assume from watching only the film). Both are speculation to an extent, so neither can be presented as the only possible explanation.
        • I made a go at addressing your objection anyway; check it out. ~ SavageBob 01:47, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
          • What you have works for me. I've re-added the part about him "announcing their presence," since I thought that worked well. Feel free to tweak to your preference. Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:07, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
      • BTM does not literally say that, because I paraphrased, but that's the gist of it. There's a question, "Worrt is often confused with which member of Jabba's court?" to which the user must choose the Bubo image. Then the software reveals, "Despite major differences in appearance, Bubo has often been referred to as Worrt, and vice-versa."
      • I've added another image. Thanks for the review. ~ SavageBob 01:32, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
        • I formatted the non-canon appearances per the Quockran article, since I just feel it looks better that way. But you are welcome to change that back and format that as you prefer. Good job on the article. Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:07, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
