Green Tentacle
  • "…his makeshift nature earned him the classification of "Proto Droid…" Are you sure about that? I took it that he was always a Proto Droid, even before he repaired himself.
    • Actually, I don't think we can say either way. The only appearance of the name "Proto Droid" in canon is when the storybook says "Welcome to the Boonta scrapyard," drones a Proto Droid. As such, I've edited to make it ambiguous. Look good?
  • 3PO seemed to invite Proto One to go with them at the end of the episode. Probably worth mentioning that he turned them down. Green Tentacle (Talk) 16:35, June 23, 2012 (UTC)
    • Good catch. Added a note to P&T too. Menkooroo 04:19, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
Savaged…
  • I added a few species/culture mentions in there since others were marked as Humans. Hope it's OK. Just one other thing: "Proto One informs C-3PO that he is his own Maker." I like the terseness of the caption, but the antecedents aren't clear. Can you play with it a bit? ~SavageBOB sig 14:42, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
    • Species things look good. Played with the caption a little; I thought that removing the C-3PO namedrop was the best solution. Check it out. Menkooroo 17:51, June 24, 2012 (UTC)

  • Context on the Fromm Gang in the intro.
    • Added that they were criminals. S'good?
  • Is it really correct to say in the infobox that Proto was "self-created"? Yeah, he fixed himself up, but he was actually created by a droid company or whatever.
    • Good point. I guess we're not really sure of how much he was disassembled, but he does adamantly claim to be his own creator --- how's "Partially self-created (rebuilt from scrap)" look?
  • You mention the Fromm Gang in the intro, but not in the body. Tig and Sise Fromm are in there, but you should make that connection.
    • Nice catch. Moved it from a contextless BTS mention to a contextful body mention.
  • Nice work. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 00:11, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
    • Thanks. Stop by any time! Old Proto will always be here Menkooroo (talk) 02:41, July 18, 2012 (UTC)
