  • I'd like to see the intro mention that Melas visited Chalmun's Cantina.
  • The DB backup links need to be fixed. For info on how to do that, see the Lotho Minor nom.
  • If Melas isn't mentioned in The New Essential Chronology, the date should be referenced instead to a note that explains how the date is deduced. Imperators II(Talk) 20:28, June 15, 2017 (UTC)

  • I'd say you could add a little more information about Melas' placement in the cantina based on the Complete locations book. Maybe that he was sat in a booth to the left of the entrance next to the Duros or something. Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:29, July 16, 2017 (UTC)
    • Should I add it to the Star Tours part, which was just recycled footage, or ANH, since that is the specific instance that the Complete Locations book was based on? - Imperial Information Office AV-6R7Crew Pit 21:36, July 16, 2017 (UTC)
      • Added it to the ANH section, since it could theoretically be a different booth in ST, even though it isn't. - Imperial Information Office AV-6R7Crew Pit 22:13, July 16, 2017 (UTC)
        • Annoyingly the Complete locations identifies the Duros by their aliases Baniss Keeg and Ellorrs Madak, so you'll need to reference their actual names to something else. Ayrehead02 (talk) 11:54, July 17, 2017 (UTC)
Toprawa
  • Like the TCW home-video releases, Star Wars: The Complete Saga Blu-ray only needs to be listed in the Sources if it contains new information. Seeing that this source is not used in the referencing, I'm wondering whether it contains any new information or whether it should just be removed. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 03:58, August 27, 2017 (UTC)
    • It has a featurette that says something to the effect of "Ketwol's head was redressed and became a new alien". No new info, and doesn't even mention Melas by name as it focuses solely on the creation of the former. - Imperial Information Office AV-6R7Crew Pit 04:40, August 27, 2017 (UTC)
  • I realize this is something you're modeling after other articles, and I imagine there are some status articles that have this tag, but the Appearances list tag specifying "post-1997" releases of the film really isn't accurate. The definition of the "post-" prefix means after or subsequent to something, as in all releases of the film after 1997. But the Special Edition came out in 1997, so this tag isn't correctly taking into account the dating. What if you changed it to (Introduced in Special Edition)? I don't even think you need to specify 1997, because that's inherent to the SE. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 21:14, August 27, 2017 (UTC)
    • Hope you don't mind me "borrowing" that. It's way better than the old tag, since it actually mentions the SE. I've also applied it to his canon page, and will amend any other pages I visit with the old tag. - Imperial Information Office AV-6R7Crew Pit 21:50, August 27, 2017 (UTC)
  • Reviewing note: I implemented subsectioning and smaller paragraphs into the Bio and BTS, which looks a whole lot better in Wikia skin, since I presume you're using Monobook. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 23:14, August 27, 2017 (UTC)
    • Also, I meant to say very nice job overall. I think the article's final product looks very good. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 23:18, August 27, 2017 (UTC)

  • I don't find this guy interesting why do you want this guy as a good article? JS-4422 (talk) 09:31, August 27, 2017 (UTC)
  • Objection(s) overridden by AgriCorps 16:39, August 27, 2017 (UTC)
    • Whether you find this subject interesting or not is completely irrelevant. GANs need to meet certain criteria, outlined above, and subject importance is not one of those. I urge you to familiarize yourself with the criteria above and strike this objection, lest it be struck by the AgriCorps. Thanks. 1358 (Talk) 09:35, August 27, 2017 (UTC)

  • The Arleil Schous article mentions he was replaced by Melas due to "Lucas' wish". Could this be true, and if so, worth adding? Imperators II(Talk) 20:30, June 15, 2017 (UTC)
    • "Shedding Light on Some Alien Aliases" says this on the matter: "The off-the-shelf canine masks long bothered Lucas, and when it came time to do the Special Editions both aliens were replaced with more elaborate creations." I can add some info to the Bts and source it to this. - Imperial Information Office AV-6R7Crew Pit 20:55, June 15, 2017 (UTC)
  • SE footage of the cantina scene, including Melas was reused for a Tatooine travel advertisement in Star Tours: The Adventures Continue. Should this be mentioned in the article? - Imperial Information Office AV-6R7Crew Pit 21:05, June 15, 2017 (UTC)
    • Ah, it's an IU advert within Star Tours? Then I do think it should be added. Imperators II(Talk) 05:59, June 16, 2017 (UTC)
