  • Nomination comments: As one of the inspirations for the existence of WP:Pride, it's been my great pleasure to put a solid year's work into and now nominate Robin's article. Due to those circumstances, I contacted and confirmed that they're good with having their article nominated and with the initials that are present on their older artwork.

OOM
  • I'd say there's no need to mention their dual citizenship in the infobox. OOM 224 22:19, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Actually, nevermind this.
  • Hmm, is there really a need to mention Galactic Battlegrounds? Given that the bursas in the game were based on the ones in Terryl Whitlatch's field guide, and the article has already mentioned that Robin's artwork were the basis for Whitlatch's designs, I don't think there's a need to further track the progression of this particular design. OOM 224 10:03, 4 May 2022 (UTC)
    • I couldn't determine whether Field Guide or Galactic Battlegrounds released first (both in November 2001 but only have an actual day for the game), so I'm not certain how to handle it. I definitely think they should be mentioned re: Field Guide because Whitlatch drew on Robin's designs, but I see your point about further going into Galactic Battlegrounds as it's currently written. Thoughts on how to approach that? Immi Thrax RainbowRebellion2 (she/her) (talk) 15:29, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
      • Oh, I see. Yeah that makes things trickier. Then it's probably best to keep the mention of Galactic Battlegrounds, but I'd say the Clone Campaigns expansion pack part can go. OOM 224 15:52, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
        • Change made! Let me know if the sentence flow needs a tweak. Immi Thrax RainbowRebellion2 (she/her) (talk) 05:06, 13 May 2022 (UTC)
          • Awesome, that looks fine! OOM 224 07:33, 13 May 2022 (UTC)

  • Quotes: contextual information for the second quote (", from their profile on StarWars.com in 2005"), and third quote (", on Robin Pronovost's designs for his cancelled reference book The Essential Guide to Episode I") feels unnecessary. The former is redundant to the reference while the latter is self-explanatory with the content of the quote itself. NanoLuukeCloning facility 23:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Should we maybe link Jaxxon in the first image caption ("Art for the tutorial "Drawing Jaxxon")? While the MOS state "subjects not linked elsewhere in the article (excluding references) may be linked in Image captions", tables have not really been covered by the MOS (hence the recent CT in this regard)... Given it's not linked in the prose, I feel as it could be linked there too, especially since the caption appear in the article long before the table. NanoLuukeCloning facility 23:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Using "Jedi" instead of "Return of the Jedi" is too colloquial. NanoLuukeCloning facility 23:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
  • References/Sources: Do we usually add disambiguation dates ("{{C|1998}}") to references and sources? I feels like the wikilinks and proper naming of the document is sufficient. NanoLuukeCloning facility 23:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
    • I'm not sure! I'd done it since we usually don't include the year in the wikilinks itself, but without seeing the year, you end up with listings that look like duplicates when they really aren't. ex. what's currently *"''Star Wars'' Funnies" — [[Star Wars Kids 8 (1998)|''Star Wars Kids'' 8]] {{C|1998}} could be changed to *"''Star Wars'' Funnies" — [[Star Wars Kids 8 (1998)|''Star Wars Kids'' 8 (1998)]] if that's cool? Immi Thrax RainbowRebellion2 (she/her) (talk) 03:47, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
      • I'm not really sure and I'd probably want the opinion of other reviewers on this. I'll ask on Discord to get some quick consensus. NanoLuukeCloning facility 08:37, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
      • After consulting Imperators, it seems you're in the right here. No need to change anything ;) . NanoLuukeCloning facility 10:24, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
  • Per LG/OOU, the mediacat should be in Sources. NanoLuukeCloning facility 23:58, 25 May 2022 (UTC)
    • Is splitting a Source's title into 2 lines considered interfering with the presentation of titles? That's the reason I'd put it in References, per LG/OOU. If it isn't, I'll make that change! Immi Thrax RainbowRebellion2 (she/her) (talk) 03:47, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
      • I would say yes, but then again, I'm not seeing it do this in preview (and it's even narrower than the live version of the page). NanoLuukeCloning facility 08:37, 26 May 2022 (UTC)
        • Facepalm time: I must've been using increased font settings and/or something has changed since I'd previously looked into that. Change made! Immi Thrax RainbowRebellion2 (she/her) (talk) 21:54, 26 May 2022 (UTC)

Although I'm technically still on hiatus, the FAN process takes awhile and I'll check in for feedback. Immi Thrax RainbowRebellion2 (she/her) (talk) 08:37, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
