Object

Floyd:
  • The Tibannucks are a sentient species, correct? According to the LG, sentient species articles should not have a Behavior section, and should instead have a Society and culture section.
    • The original source calls them "intelligent" without specifying their sentience. I'm thinking that they probably shouldn't be classified as sentient in this case; would you agree?
      • Forgive the intrusion, guys. I just checked the OS, and it says "very intelligent," but still, it's kind of nebulous without some signs of tool use or language or whatever to qualify that "intelligent" designator. You may want to classify them as Category:Species of undefined sentience, like their friend the Jeby. ~SavageBOB sig 22:10, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
        • Eh, alright then. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 00:54, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
          • I've now switched it into that category. Thanks Floyd for bringing it up (and the review), since I wasn't sure anyway, and Bob for resolving it. Thefourdotelipsis 06:17, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
  • Also, if this is indeed a sentient species, the article may need a Tibannucks in the galaxy section.
  • Some context on why the Cloud City mining operations targeted the Tibannucks would be useful in the intro.
    • The source provides no real explanation beyond what is already provided.
  • Linking issues.
  • More to come, potentially. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 00:58, August 31, 2011 (UTC)
Prepare to be savaged…
  • Only one concern: Can you go into a bit more detail about their appearance? From the illustration, we can tell that they have a long, knobby neck, a tuft of green hair about the jowls, purple fur (spikes?) at the elbow joints, long, brown forearms with digits splayed into membranous wings, light-green dorsal fins with blue stripes, and a knobby/segmented tail, etc. ~SavageBOB sig 12:39, September 1, 2011 (UTC)
    • I've liberally poached your descriptions and put them in there. Thefourdotelipsis 08:02, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
      • Works for me! :) ~SavageBOB sig 13:07, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
Word
  • The body seems to repeat, yet contradict itself --- first it says that their limbs end in long, webbed digits that can be expanded or contracted, then it later says that they end in long, brown digits that can be splayed into membranous wings. Can you reconcile these two sentences into a single statement?
  • Are those purple things on the chest on the outside of the body, or are they just an X-Ray visual of the lungs? If the former, write a little about it in the body, if the latter, maybe make a short BTS note that the illustration included a view of the body's inside?
  • All from me! Menkooroo 04:30, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
Fu-Gee-La
  • "Tibannucks were capable of flight, and they were red-skinned." Them being able to fly has nothing to do with their skin being red. That's all.—Tommy 9281 Sunday, October 9, 2011, 18:34 UTC
