Objections

• Seems the page is in Category:WebCite usages without work parameter Lewisr (talk) 23:27, 5 April 2025 (UTC)

CC-8

• I think the intro could acknowledge that Snowball jumping on Neel started the chain of events that lead to the crew jumping to hyperspace
• IMO details like Snowball being fed porridge (even though its the name of a subsection), stretching its legs, and screeching at Jod are too minor to include in an introduction
• Vocals section could have an image, either of Collins or the monkey
• Sources and notes and references are long enough to warrant a scroll box. Commander Code-8 ^{Hello There!} 07:51, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
  • Addressed all CometSmudge (talk) 20:42, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
    • For the first one, I think what I really should have said was that Snowball triggered the crew's adventures away from At Attin Commander Code-8 ^{Hello There!} 12:56, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
      • Does this work? CometSmudge (talk) 21:28, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
• P&T can surely be extended with moments like Snowball screeching at Jod, reacting to the hologram, and not retrieving the key. Commander Code-8 ^{Hello There!} 12:56, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
  • Expanded it CometSmudge (talk) 21:28, 13 June 2025 (UTC)
