Object

  1. IFYLOFD:
    • In the intro, provide why he strung together the battle droid fingers, since this action is unexplained and seems rather random.
      • Addressed.
    • "When Clone Captain CC-7567 and Clone Commander CC-2224 interrogated the members of Slick's squad to locate a possible Confederate spy, Chopper at first lied about his whereabouts, and his sergeant suggested that he was the spy. " If Chopper was not actually the spy, why would he lie about his whereabouts?
      • Addressed.
    • Context for the north and south towers.
      • It's self-contextualizing; the "tower" establishes that they were buildings, and I don't see what more can be said without adding fluff.
    • Why would Chopper insult the crippled Christophsian? Clarify.
      • Addressed.
    • "Slick suggested that Chopper was the spy, but while stating to the trooper his right to silence, the sergeant revealed that he was aware that the Jedi had left on a confidential mission to search for information." Doesn't flow well and the "stating his trooper the right to silence" doesn't fit in the sentence well.
      • I can't change the wording without making it colloquial, and if you have something to suggest, I'd be happy to hear it.
    • State how they found out for sure that Slick was the spy, since it jumps from Chopper accusing him to you calling Slick the spy.

  2. Mauser:
    • His hair is dyed, isn't it?
      • ...I really can't tell.
        • All Jango clones have black hair so, just like with Rex and Gree, his hair has to be dyed.
          • Addressed. CC7567 (talk) 23:06, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
            • I actually meant the infobox, so I added it anyway.
    • Why would Jango's clone have different eye colors? Related to the injure that gave him the scar, no?
      • It's highly probable, but I'm still rather cautious to assume. It could be that he thinks it's stylish, so I don't know if it was from his injury.
        • Alright, no speculations then.
    • If the infobox says he was born on Kamino, it should be in the body as well.
      • Addressed.
    • A short, one-sentence context on the fact that he was a clone of Jango Fett, born on Kamino and trained for the future GAR.
      • I can see the sense of adding everything except the "future GAR"; his birthdate isn't known, and it's just too much unrelated info.
    • "Chopper loathed the Confederate battle droids, believing that they "owed him something." - doesn't that belong in P&T instead of bio?
      • It's in both, albeit with different phrasing.
        • It looks a bit redundant in the bio. Also, the current wording is awkward: "he was a member of Clone Sergeant Slick's squad, and Chopper loathed the Confederate battle droids...".
          • Addressed. CC7567 (talk) 23:06, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
            • Tweaked a bit more, hope that's play with you.
    • How did Slick's awareness of the Jedi's abscence reveal him as a traitor?
      • Addressed, but I'm trying to avoid adding any more because of irrelevancy. CC7567 (talk) 16:17, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
        • Well, in this case it just had to be clarified. MauserComlink 17:21, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
  3. Toprawa:
    • This syntax doesn't make sense to me. I'm not sure the "While" fits. It's almost as if you're saying "Despite having skill, Chopper held a grudge..." which doesn't make sense, if you understand what I'm saying. See if you can't tweak that for me: "While Slick noted that Chopper had skill, Chopper held a grudge against the Confederate battle droids"
      • Attempted to, but it may be a little choppy; if it is, I'll try to reword it further.
    • Is there a specific reason you list the Clone troopers Databank entry in the Source list? Because Chopper is not mentioned within. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
      • Bah; no, not really. Removed. CC7567 (talk) 05:28, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
  4. Demos Traxen
    • The fact that what the image of Chopper shows and what is written is troubling. I believe that the article should reflect what is in the image, namely that Chopper is throwing the leg at the men, and that he is insulting them - "Afraid I don't have a spine for you" - because of their cowardice in revealing his location to the droids. Thanks!

      • As you have already appeared to have fixed this yourself, it's now obsolete, and you should have stricken it after you did. CC7567 (talk) 20:50, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
