Really minor, but is the Bts quote supposed to have punctuation?CC7567 (talk) 20:39, August 10, 2011 (UTC)- I wondered about that. It's the header for a section, and in the OS, it's written in all caps. I thought that would be obnoxious, but should I change it to all caps to be consistent with the OS, or decap, like we do with comic book dialog? (But to answer your question, there was no punctuation in the OS.) ~Savage 21:20, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
- Hmm. Well, I do agree that it might be too obnoxious to be written in caps, even though that's what the source says. I actually might suggest simply leaving it decapped and adding a period as punctuation—even though it wasn't in the original caption, the article uses it as a sentence instead of a caption, so punctuation might be warranted. CC7567 (talk) 21:30, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
- I added the period, but I put it in brackets; I'm just uncomfortable introducing it without indicating it wasn't in the OS. I could, alternatively, axe the quote, or perhaps take out the period and indicate in the attribution that it's a section header. What do you think? ~Savage 14:11, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

Even more minor!
An article on animal trainer: Yes or no?Menkooroo 07:18, August 12, 2011 (UTC)- Idunno. Would it really differ all that much from the real-world equivalent (which is, at least in theory, the litmus test for whether to make such articles)? ~Savage 15:01, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
- As we have articles on doctor, lawyer, arms dealer, author, nurse, and Seth Green, I'd say it's worthy of at least a stub. Menkooroo 03:40, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Most of those should probably be deleted, IMHO. Honestly, not trying to be a poodoo-head, but I honestly don't see the utility of "An animal trainer was someone who trained and worked with non-sentient creatuers" since there's really no difference from a real-world animal trainer there. (Hopefully, my draft of the article here will show that it's not that I'm too lazy to write the article; I simply don't think it's a good idea. :)) ~Savage 20:37, August 22, 2011 (UTC)
- Following precedent, I created animal trainer. I think someone should nominate it for deletion, though, probably in a major sweep of other earthly occupation articles. :) ~Savage 23:47, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Could you mention his entry in the encylopedia in the behind the scenes section?Mentioning the Insider articles there would also be nice.My vote is for animal trainer!- Heh...Good work.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 12:22, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't think it's helpful for BTSs to repeat what's in the "Sources" section, only in prose form, but I'll mention the encyclopedia article. And thanks for the review! ~Savage 15:01, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Judging from the majority of the article, it looks like there's no source identifying Naboo as his homeworld. However, in the intro, you mention he was from Naboo.For clarification, did Denna handle both the falumpasets and kaadu, or just the kaadu? The intro (and the bio, to some extent) says the latter, but the bio also implies the former.- Nice job. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 23:50, August 13, 2011 (UTC)
- I added falumpasets to the intro. As for homeworld, the sources call him "a diminutive denizen of Naboo." Is that enough to assert a homeworld? ~Savage 20:33, August 22, 2011 (UTC)
- As far as I can tell, "denizen" doesn't refer to where someone is from, but rather where they currently live. So no, I wouldn't say that's enough to state he was from Naboo. And sorry for the late reply, but life has been very busy. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 14:42, August 26, 2011 (UTC)
- OK, I've tried to clean up the intro statement a bit without repeating the body text too much. And no worries about the busy-ness of life; I'm all systems go on that front myself at the moment. :) ~Savage 13:56, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

- In my opinion, sourcing the years for movie articles is not really necessary, and I don't, but it's one's personal choice. Hanzo Hasashi 15:32, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
- I think it's necessary, since the movies themselves never mention any dates. ~Savage 23:48, August 22, 2011 (UTC)
