Nevoota/Legends

Tick, tick? Is that the buzz of the Nevoota bee? --Skippy Farlstendoiro 10:15, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
I've been wondering when someone was going to cover this joke. Xicer9^(Combadge) 22:43, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

I find the subject matter apollen. Yeah, I went there. --Imperialles 03:30, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
This article has a lot of buzz. (Oh man, this needs to pass already to stop the puns.) ~ SavageBob 07:03, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

~~As there are no individual sections, I understand the main description doubles as the intro. Redlinks are not allowed in the intro.~~
~~BtS: You assume the reader is familiar with Veitch, Handley and Beidler. You might give context for them ("Veitch, writer of several Star Wars comic books")~~

- Tick, tick. --Eyrezer 09:46, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

In the body you say Nevoota is in the Balmorra system, while in the Bts you refer to it as the Nevoota system. This is confusing, since it makes it sound like they are two unrelated systems. Could you use one name or the other? Xicer9^(Combadge) 16:55, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
- I added an explanation. --Eyrezer 22:38, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

I'd prefer to see the BTS chronologically organized. In other words, Veitch makes the joke, people reference it (including Wallace), and Peña canonizes them as a species. The organization now is currently almost reverse chronological. This is just my preference, though, so this isn't an objection per se.
Is there a buzzing in the background of A New Hope? I've never noticed. Can you add a few words to the article to address this (not explaining why the buzz is there, but simply noting whether there is or isn't a buzz?)?
I made a few tweaks for flow; feel free to revert if you prefer. Nice article! And nice to see another BTS-heavy entry! ~ SavageBob 16:45, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
- Explained the buzzing. I'd prefer to keep the BTS this way. While the order is reverse chronological, it gives priority to canonical information, before moving on to non-canon background. Thanks for the review. --Eyrezer 03:55, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

The article for the Balmorra system is currently titled Nevoota system. By simply linking to Balmorra system you are creating a redirect issue. If the system article needs to be moved, do that instead of keeping a redirect link in the article. --Imperialles 02:54, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

~~Formatting things. Can we use the new Atlas Companion thing Bob had cooked up for reference No. 2.~~
~~Also, I'm thinking it would be appropriate to pipelink an external link into the mention of the Star Wars Literature Compendium site.~~ Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:43, May 26, 2010 (UTC)
- I'm not familiar with it. Can you link me to an example or the template? --Eyrezer 05:53, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
  - I just used it in the Tulvaree expansion I did; you could check there. Essentially, it lets us do an external link to SW.com while maintaining an internal link as well. ~ SavageBob 07:00, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
    - Thanks. I'd checked your recent FAN noms but couldn't find it there. Now added. --Eyrezer 09:51, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Approved as a Good article by AgriCorps 10:33, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if you want more on the original joke for the Bts, but the page of Mike Beidler's The Star Wars Literature Compendium with his full expansion of the Nevoota Bee joke is still online and available here. jSarek 08:02, May 22, 2010 (UTC)
