    • Cleanup on second paragraph of the Trome thing. Prose is not that great and the home thing about the Tromes is not explained. Do they live in the tree?
      • No idea how the tree serves as the Trome's home. It's just said that it is their home. They're never shown actually living in it. Anything else specific about the prose that I should clean up? Cull Tremayne 14:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
        • I don't like the last sentence of the first paragraph of the Trome section, but I'm not sure how I would reword it without having seen the source. Something about three gerund phrases just seems clumsy. It also doesn't seem to explain why the Tromes weren't a threat anymore, but maybe that's because I don't know anything about Tromes. Are they small and wimpy? Those are smallish issues, but there's just something about that section. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 04:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
          • One of the gerund phrases reworded. Yeah, the Tromes are basically hyperactive dwarves. They only seem a threat when they are larger than the Ewoks. I'll clarify that better. Cull Tremayne 15:26, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
    • I personally think "leaf shoe" should be an article, but that's not really an objection. Unless it should be an article, in which case there are 3 redlinks. Blarg.
      • The thing with the leaf-shoe, is that it's basically just a leaf with gunk on the bottom, but I suppose it "could" be an article. Cull Tremayne 14:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
        • Never mind that. I had a brief spell of hyperinclusionitis. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 04:17, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Have a Super Terrific Friendly Un-frustrating day. Atarumaster88 Jedi Order (Talk page) 13:57, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
      • You read an Ewok article! How do you feel? ;) Cull Tremayne 14:39, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

    • Could we get an Eras icon?
      • It's there. The Eras icons just don't appear to be working.
    • The last three sentences of First Conflict should be improved a bit. The prose seems a little simple (take on, too much for him, etc.)
      • Simple verbs removed. Single sentence expanded.
    • "rode to freedom"? This could use a bit of rewording.
      • Clarified to denote that they were riding on top of the nectar pearls.
    • First sentence of Distributing the Antidote runs on.
      • Fixed.
    • Per Ataru on the "leaf shoes" thing. However, it isn't really necessary, but IMO it deserves an article.
      • Alrighty then. "Leaf shoes were leaves that had gunk on them. They were then tied to people's feet." ;-P I'll get right on it.
    • Bah! Ewok articles! Hobbes15(Tiger Headquarters) 03:34, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Even though my area is creating character FA's, I agree we need more non-character nominations. Greyman(Paratus) 16:35, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
