Object

Floyd has one thing
  • Quote for the history section? IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 02:22, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
    • I only have one conversation to work with, but I put in a quote from it. I can remove it if you don't think it fits well.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 03:10, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
Savaged…
  • Just a few things. Since the Draag supervisor and Guineo guard are linked in the body of the article, you don't need to link them in the quote.
  • Do we know Grauff Hogg's species? If so, it's worth mentioning it. Even if we don't know it, maybe say he's a non-Guineo, since the current wording makes it sound like he might be a Guineo.
  • Is it worth mentioning the way the Guineo guards were armed in the BTS, since you already mention this in the "In the galaxy" section?
  • Can you tell eye color from the Guineo in the game? The one in the infobox looks like he has red eyes. Or are those the goggles?
    • I wasn't sure since in the game its hard to tell if its the goggles or their eyes as can be seen here. I could add a BTS note about the eye color/lens color.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 14:47, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
      • Ah, I see. I think it's fine. You could mention the discrepancy between the in-game models and the one in the infobox, but I'll leave it up to your preference. ~SavageBOB sig 15:34, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
  • Also might be worth mentioning the wrinkled skin of the neck in the "Biology and appearance" section.
  • One final appearance note: Might be worth mentioning that their arms are longer than their legs. ~SavageBOB sig 14:27, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
Guinea-os? I'd eat that cereal
  • You can use {{SW}} instead of {{SWArchive}} for the Atlas Companion, since sw.com still hosts it. See... ref 6 here.
  • Since the plural is just Guineo, can you ditch Category:Guineos and make a new one without an s at the end?
  • "While the conceptual artwork for the Guineo showed the species with eyes that appear red in color..." Any chance of getting a shot of this concept art for the BTS? There's definitly room for it. Menkooroo (talk) 14:10, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
    • That's the image I'm using in the infobox. I'm not 100% sure its concept art, but the quality is much higher than anything that appears in the game, so I figured it was concept art which could be unlocked in the game. (Concept art is unlocked for collecting the game's secondary bounties. If you want me to call the image something else, I will do it.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 14:40, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
      • Hmmmmmm if the article's going to treat it as concept art, then it can't be used as an in-universe image; if the article's going to treat it as an in-universe image, then the red eyes should be treated as canonical. It kinda sounds from your explanation like it's not necessarily concept art that's unlocked, but rather just art in general. If there's nothing explicitly IDing that image as concept art, it seems like fair game to use, in which case the red eyes should be noted. Menkooroo (talk) 14:48, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • Mmmm, I'm not sure I agree with this assumption so much. If real-world frogs can asexually reproduce, there's no telling what sort of reproduction methods might exist in the SW universe. We can't just make straightforward blanket assumptions on one species just because most species are this way. I would suggest rewording this to cut out the assumption: "Star Wars: Bounty Hunter only depicts male Guineo, but since a species with males requires that there also be females for reproductive purposes, the Guineo species must also include female members."
  • We agreed in a formal CT that the star system names established in the Atlas Online Companion should be treated as conjectural, since the Atlas authors stated that they should not necessarily be treated as canonical, especially in obvious instances where they are named after the system's most well-known object. The "Void Station system" is one of these cases where we are obviously dealing with a conjectural name. As such, we should avoid referring to this system by this name in our writing as if it were formal. Please find a way to reword this to avoid this literal name: "...past the Void Station system."
  • Reviewing notes: I revised the BTS to reword much of it into the present tense rather than the past tense when referring to events happening in the video game. Since this is not an in-universe section of the article, writing it in past tense has the tendency to come off as possibly misleading, as it makes it sound like this video game is somehow no longer accessible. But considering the game is still "present" and its information remains readily accessible, writing its events in present tense is more appropriate, IMO.
  • Also, I revised this sentence to say the "game artwork" since it was not perfectly clear what artwork this was referring to. If this is artwork from something else, please fix: "While game artwork for the Guineo" Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 06:57, February 3, 2013 (UTC)

  • Thanks are in order to SavageBob, who checked the Prima guide for information.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 16:36, January 1, 2013 (UTC)
  • I actually think that this would be a better image for the body of the article. It seems the clearest image of a Guineo face. --Eyrezer (talk) 00:06, January 10, 2013 (UTC)
  • The crop for the lead image is a bit weird. Can't you center him a little bit? Stake black msg 16:54, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
    • I can't really crop anything without making it too small for the infobox, and I don't have any way to get the image from the game for a new crop. Sorry.--Exiled Jedi Oldrepublic crest (Greetings) 16:58, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
