Object
- You're killing me:
"The Clone Wars: Headgames is a six-page web comic in The Clone Wars web comic series posted on StarWars.com on January 15, 2009." – Tense shift is killing me."On a planet" opening is killing me."discover what secrets it might hold" verbatim twice is killing me.- Rewored one in the bio.
Five ref tags to illustrate a point that two would support is killing me.- Addressed.
Behind-the-scenes needing organization and single-sentence paragraph are killing me.- For the first part, see above. The second is fixed.
- See above? As in what? Organize it; it's in bits and pieces with zero flow. Graestan(Talk) 22:51, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
- I don't really understand what kind of "flow" do you expect. All previous web comic GAs followed the same concept with BTSes, which is, basically:
- a)Explain that it is a web comic.
- b)Say which episode it ties into.
- c)Talk about the TCW elements it introduces. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 10:08, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
- a)Explain that it is a web comic.
- Nevertheless, I've merged two of the sentences together to, hopefully, make it flow better, but that's all I can think of. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 13:28, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
- Here's what I am looking for, basically, in terms of information organization:
- a) What it is, what it ties into, and who made it.
- b) What happens in it.
- c) Miscellanea like the Easter egg.
- There doesn't really need to be a separate "Development" section. Just maybe two total paragraphs, one pertaining to the OOU information and one pertaining to the actual content of the subject (including the Easter egg). Graestan(Talk) 01:32, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
- Hopefully addressed now. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 15:27, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Comments
- Though this may be a little late in the game, I would still encourage the people writing these TCW OOU articles to inclue Major character sections. If you ever decide to do so, take a look at the TOTJ article for how this is done. NaruHina Talk 20:02, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
- The thing is, TOTJ is a long series the events of which span the most part of its characters' lives. And the "major characters section" in the TOTJ article basically sums up these events for each character. The events depicted in this comic, however, are just a very minor part of say, Aayla's or Bly's life. Therefore, the "major characters section" in this case would have lots of information that has no relevance to the comic whatsoever. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 20:29, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
- Yes, I understand why someone wouldn't think it a good idea because of that, but its more about their part in the event than their life itself. As TOTJ does cover their lives, it makes it seem like each character's entire life should be summarized but that is not the case. It is a summary of their part in the events of the comic, or other piece of media, with only minor things otherwise. A Major characters section should only cover this specific event in this case, also saying that Aayla was a Twi'lek Jedi Knight of the Jedi Order who served as a Jedi General during the Clone Wars of course. It should not say that she had a breif spat with with the dark side, had a possibly scandelous relationship with Kit Fisto, that she died at the hands of Bly, etc. NaruHina Talk 06:01, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
