Droxine

  • Nominated by: --Eyrezer 10:13, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
  • Nomination comments: I started researching this because it was meant to be a species. When it could not be confirmed to be so, I opted to write up the planet anyway. Here it is, three mentions from '81, '89, and '04.

  4. Looks pretty solid to me. I couldn't find anything amiss with it, and did a quick read-through in the edit tab for typos. I may, though, pop the Nightmare Demon image into Photoshop here in a second and darken the linework. Otherwise, the article looks fine to me. Trak Nar Ramble on 05:09, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

  6. Awesome, this was from one of the better Marvel UK stories. You should work on Reist next. Xicer9Atgar(Combadge) 22:47, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Object

  1. Toprawa:
    • Why not include the carchar in the infobox?
      • My understanding is that is only for sentient species, in conjunction with the sentient species that immigrate there. There doesn't seem to be a uniform policy on our FAs though: setting aside my 5 which only list sentients, some such as Agamar and Cerea list animals, others such as Kal'Shebbol and Manaan do not. My thought is that if we include non-sentients, it could be get large, ie Tatooine. Sentients strike me as more notable and therefore worth including. --Eyrezer 23:14, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
        • I'll start a CT on this to clarify it, but don't have time at this moment. --Eyrezer 23:14, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
          • If you really feel the need to start a debate in a CT forum, fine. But, FWIW, I've included non-sentient creatures in the Darlyn Boda infobox. I think it would be worthwhile to even create a new field in the planetary infobox for non-sentient native species at least. Tatooine's 100+ native creatures would really be the exception rather than the rule, and in that case we have the option of using an infobox scroll bar should it become messy. Here's an example of one. Look at the Battles/events field. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:06, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
            • I created a Flora and fauna field. --Eyrezer 18:02, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
    • Please utilize our citation template linking to the specific SW.com article for the Atlas reference. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:10, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
      • Done - which also reminded me that it is of course in the Atlas itself.
    • You may also want to check The Movie Trilogy Sourcebook to see if the Droxine-Slave I bit is reprinted there. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:33, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
      • Not included. --Eyrezer 23:14, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
  2. Soresu
    • Last two sentences of BTS are repetitive.
      • Modified. I kept on discovering new mentions...
    • Why aren't the Demons in native fauna?
      • The Demons are intelligent, therefore in the field for sentient species.
        • Bah. I didn't take a glance there. Although, you should make mention of their sentience in the body, and preferably update the designation infobox section of the actual article on the Demons. SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is a lie) 00:11, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
          • I'll leave the Nightmare Demon article for another day, but "intelligent" has been added to the body to match the mention in the intro. --Eyrezer 00:25, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
    • In the intro, you say that they were extinct, then go on to talk about them. You should clarify that at least one was still alive. SoresuMakashi(Everything I tell you is a lie) 22:37, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
      • Modified. --Eyrezer 22:48, March 22, 2010 (UTC)
  3. some of the Demons survived past into the Imperial Period, when they were used by some of Emperor Palpatine's specialist assassins - Were there more than one? I was under the impression that Reist was the only one. Could you maybe change it to say that Reist was the only known one, similar to the way you have it worded in the intro.
    • Nice work, Eyrezer. Cylka-talk- 20:54, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
      • The source says that "some" survive, of which only Reist appears in the comic. I've modified the intro to match this. --Eyrezer 22:44, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
  4. Can you modify the first sentence of the Bio (or intro) so the two aren't exactly the same? Otherwise, good work. Chack Jadson (Talk) 00:16, March 24, 2010 (UTC)
    • Done. --Eyrezer 01:45, March 24, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

  • I created the redlink for the water-vascular system because when I read about it in GG3, it seemed to be specialized enough to warrant its own article. If you could at least create a stub for it that would be great and I will try to expand it later. If not, I'll still try to bust the redlink soon. Since one redlink won't affect the nomination, I didn't want to leave this as an objection. Cylka-talk- 20:54, March 23, 2010 (UTC)
