Object

  1. Prepare to be Farlstendoiroed
    • Intro: "The Xamster's cohabited" Is the apostrophe needed? I can't understand why it is there (And, as I don't, I don't edit it myself).
      • Oops; typo. Addressed.
    • Bio: "for instance, a Xamster might feature one hue..." You mean a hypothetical Xamster can have those hues? Or is there some specific Xamster who has that specific hues? In that case, you should not use conditionals.
      • Well, it's based on Neva Kee's appearance, so maybe it's better now?
    • Bio: Besides, I am not sure about the "Three crests of spiky growths": Are we still talking about the posibilities of a hypothetical Xamster, or does each Xamster have the three crests?
      • I'm assuming this is a standard part of Xamster anatomy. Is it any clearer now?
    • Society: Please context on malvil-trees on first menction.
      • Done.
    • Society: "In return, the Xamsters could take up residence" - So, they take up residence only sometimes? In that case, you should specify. If they did always take up residence, then you should reword it. I can't understand if all Xamster communities, or only some of them, do this.
      • That was a "could" of permission, but I see how that could be confusing, so I've tried to clarify.
    • Hist: About Tal-Gun: I understand you have no specific link between Tal-Gun and the Xamsters, or you would have already mentioned it in Culture, true?
      • There's no specific mention, only the notion that the martial art was taught on Xagobah. I thought about not including it, but did so in this way just to be on the safe side.
    • Later Hist: Suggestion: Would you consider adding a little more context to the Eriadu Authority? Simply "under Imperial Admiral Sander Delvardus". I had never heard of the EA and that would give me some much-wanted details without following the link.
      • I'm not sure this is necessary; the Eriadu Authority is already described as an Imperial remnant, and I don't want to go into much more detail than that, since it would be off-topic, I think. What do you think? ~ SavageBob 00:16, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
    • In the galaxy: Neva Kee. Please, consider giving specific references to the details given on him and providing details about Kee visiting planets. For instance, TPM movie, TPM book, Ep1 Ins Guide, Ep1 Racer, probably are references to some of the sentences. More specifically: Ep1 Racer must include some track as Kee's favored one, and the planet it's in (Baroo Coast on Baroonda?); the article could use a mention to a Xamster being a favorite in the track of Baroonda.
      • Everything is referenced, and I list some other sources that give broad overviews of his career in a footnote in BTS. I've added his favored track; what do you think now? ~ SavageBob 00:16, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
    • "Particolored". Learning vocabulary through FAN ·:P - and great job too. Skippy Farlstendoiro 15:24, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
      • I'll get to your other objections soon. ~ SavageBob 16:50, January 15, 2010 (UTC)
        • Everything should be addressed except for the stuff I've commented on above. Thanks for the great review! ~ SavageBob 00:16, January 16, 2010 (UTC)
  2. Was the species Xamster first identified in TPM? --Eyrezer 04:09, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
      • Not in the film itself, but in the slew of peripheral material that came out simultaneously. Let me investigate a bit and see where the name may have first been used. ~ SavageBob 04:16, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
      • Seems to have been the Visual Dictionary, so I've added a 1stID tag to that source. Do you think this needs an explicit mention in the BTS prose? It seems that a lot of the lore behind Phantom Menace aliens and characters was being developed in tandem with the film itself, so the only thing the Visual Dictionary has going for it is that it was the first use of the name "Xamster" in print; the authors did not likely coin that name (though there's no way to know for sure). ~ SavageBob 04:22, January 26, 2010 (UTC)
        • The 1stID tag should be sufficient. --Eyrezer 08:07, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
