  • Underlinking: Pheromones (Btw, not "pheremones")
  • Bio, 4th paragraph. Can't you specify whether the caged Lamproid was a male or a female, instead of saying "it"? I seem to remember it was a female.
  • Hist, 3rd paragraph. I'm unconfortable with the use of "east" and "west" when talking about a planet's relative position. Does the OS use these terms, or are they assumed from seeing a 2-D map?
  • Same: Your wording suggest that Mon Calamari come from Mon Calamari and Quarren from Quermia. I ask you to specify that both species come from the same planet. And, btw, why did the Lamproids contacted the Calamarians and not the Quermians?
  • BtS: "Some sources do not capitalize the word lamproid"; "See, for example". Could you offer an exhaustive list of sources not capitalizing the word, instead of adding one example?
  • BtS: Hasbro did not produce simply an Ibegon action figure independently sold; it was sold as an "additional item" in a single pack with Trinto Duaba. This could (I think should) be added.
  • BtS: The Lamproid seen in Jabba's barge in Decipher's card is not really seen in Return of the Jedi; instead, it's a pasted image of Ibegon in the new background. This should be added.
  • Suggestion: The article is long enough to accept [[Unidentified_Lamproid_(Jabba's_court)|one more image]].
  • Lamproids are cute. Can I get one? Please? Skippy Farlstendoiro 13:49, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
    • The pheromones, gender thing, Mon Cal/Quarren thing, sail barge thing, and illustration thing should be fixed. As for east/west/north/south, the Essential Atlas has established that these terms are kosher for describing galactic locations (presumably because it helps readers understand things, but it's in-universe too). As for the Quermians, the OS doesn't mention any encounters with them, so I can't say why, unfortunately. For the capitalization thing, I can comb through the sources again if you insist, but I didn't take notes on that way back when, and any future researching is going to have to wait quite a few weeks since I'm moving into finals! As for the action figure, I'm not convinced it's pertinent that Ibegon was released as part of a two-pack with Trinto Duaba. We usually don't even mention action figures; the only reason this one is notable is because it revealed her full anatomy for the first time. Finally, you should contact the Animal Control Division of CorSec; they may have a spare Lamproid or two. :) ~ SavageBob 04:15, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

  • There's some info in the history section that could probably be split off into a "Lamproids in the galaxy" section, I think. Otherwise, excellent. Thefourdotelipsis 13:35, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
    • Thanks for the review. How's it look now? ~ SavageBob 23:58, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

  • "However, their brains were excellent at solving puzzles. This made them popular prey for unscrupulous hunters." So people hunted them 'cause they were smart? Chack Jadson (Talk) 04:58, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
  • All I've got. Quite clean.
    • Thanks for the review. Yeah, because they were smart, it made them popular as a greater challenge than a non-sentient creature. ~ SavageBob 05:35, June 14, 2010 (UTC)
I love you, Dice
  • Awesome work. Just a coupla tiny objections: "The New Sith Wars of 1,004 to 1,000 BBY" makes it sound like the New Sith Wars only lasted four years. I'm guessing the Atlas only states that Florn was part of Republic territory for those four years, but the sentence is a bit misleading.
  • Can you give just a teensy bit more context on Zsinj? Like, maybe stick "Imperial" in front of "warlord"? And link to his Empire. Menkooroo 05:07, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
    • The first should be done (good catch by the way; I have no idea when all these wars were, so it's good you caught that). As for Zsinj, I'm pretty sure his official title is "Warlord Zsinj", so sticking "Imperial" in front of it would be misleading, IMHO. Is the context not clear from the following clause? ~ SavageBob 06:26, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
      • Nope, it's fine. I threw in a link to his Empire, so s'all good. Menkooroo 06:57, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

  • There are a few redlinks left; these will be dealt with ASAP, but I need to go to bed for now... ~ SavageBob 07:09, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
