Prepare to be savaged…
  • Since his species name is based on a misidentification by the Kagles, should it go in quotes in the infobox?
    • Yeah, I wasn't sure how to handle that one, but that makes sense to me.
  • In the intro, it sounds like Larry crated one spirit, but the Kagles thought it was several. Can you clarify this? ~SavageBOB sig 14:45, November 16, 2011 (UTC)
    • How's that? Thanks for the copy-edit and review!—Axinal Convocation Chamber 15:08, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

  • This is incredibly minor, but the intro states that he assumed the persona of spirits (plural) while the bio asserts spirit (singular). Which is correct?
    • I don't think it's ever clarified which he intended to assume; but the episode, before revealing Larry, implies multiple individuals, and the Kagles always referred to them as "Shrieks" in the plural, so I'll keep it as that.
  • I feel like the article doesn't really indicate what species Larry is. It presents the "Shrieks" as a kind of made-up evil spirit rather than a species, and the reader is left confused as a result. I think the bio (and possibly intro) should introduce him early-on as a member of a purple-furred , three-eyed species. Thoughts?
    • Sure, that makes sense. Would it make sense to you to pipelink purple-furred, three-eyed species as such?
      • Yeah! I like it. Menkooroo 20:11, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
  • Great work! Menkooroo 02:26, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks, Menk!—Axinal Convocation Chamber 02:18, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
