Object

  1. From the desk of Atarumaster88
    • Remove speculation on origin/parents' history
    • Not enough explanation of sunnydew nectar. Doesn't make much sense.
    • Wicket and Teebo incident section doesn't make much sense. There's irrelevant information that could be condensed, but it doesn't explain why they need to bother Gantu.
    • Wicket and Teebo's escape section doesn't make much sense either. It's written more like part of Teebo's bio, not Gantu's. The action is centered around the deeds of the Ewoks, not the subject (Gantu). Still don't get the whole sunnydew/Zandor Rocker thing.
    • P&T is rather short.
    • Is "Sunnydew nectar" a) supposed to be capitalized b) need to be linked three or four times?
      • Always hard to tell with comics, by my feeling is: no. I fixed the case, and it seems the links have already been fixed. -- Ozzel
    • Remove referencing from intro, per Wookieepedia:Sourcing.
    • Intro just doesn't read well, particularly the second paragraph.
      • Have a Super Terrific Friendly Un-frustrating day. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 16:37, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
        • Um, are you being sarcastic? (that last line about the super happy un frustrating part.)—DarthtylerTalk 16:39, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
          • Not that it matters, but no, I'm not being sarcastic. I don't want people to think it's personal and that I'm picking on them- I do this to everyone. The exact phrasing was inspired by Darth Culator. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 16:42, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
            • Well that makes sense too, I guess.—DarthtylerTalk 16:48, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  2. Remove bullets from behind the scenes, the Lilo and Stitch bit has nothing to do with anything, fix the source on File:Coruscanti ogre vs Divto.jpg, referencing should be per paragraph or maybe removed entirely since it's single source, which also means you don't need the first appearance bit. Green Tentacle (Talk) 17:22, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
  3. I'd like to see the intro be fleshed out. I don't think it's long enough for the Main Page yet. -- Ozzel 08:07, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
  4. Speculation in the Behind the scenes section. --Imperialles 19:39, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Speculation removed. I will also conduct a copyedit.I suppose I'm "adopting" this abandoned FAN. - Graestan Jedi Order (This party's over) 22:01, 10 September 2007 (UTC)
  • From the lair of Hobbes15
    • As a single source nom, no references are required; the ones in the article can be taken out.
    • Greedy and selfish in intro are POV.
    • Why were they looking for sunnydew nectar?
      • Fixed.
    • Where did Wicket get the Rainbow Crystal? The last the article says, Ebab is still guarding it.
      • Fixed.
    • Source for BTS section unless it is the same as the one Gantu appears in; if not, my first objection is null and void.
    • That's all I have. I agree with Graestan, though, and believe that this article is too lanky for FAN, and might be better for the less demanding GAN. Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 05:19, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Comments

  • I think (and I am not alone) that there is not enough information from the source on Gantu (barring needless fluff) to make a Featured Article. Perhaps a Good Article Nomination would be more successful. - Graestan Jedi Order (This party's over) 04:03, 11 September 2007 (UTC)
    • Agreed. Although that might be personal prejudice against such articles :P. Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 01:36, 1 October 2007 (UTC)
