• In Sources, the precedent is to list the parent Databank entries rather than the specific galleries, like Episode Guides. UberSoldat93 (talk) 19:09, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Got it, thanks. I've updated the page accordingly. DwartiiDelver (talk) 19:17, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
• Per naming policy, article title should be at "Unidentified astromech droid" and the Legends page currently holding that title should be moved to something else. UberSoldat93 (talk) 12:17, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
  • All taken care of now. DwartiiDelver (talk) 14:56, 30 December 2020 (UTC)

OOM

• The context for Anakin and Ahsoka discovering the location of the facility in the second paragraph is unnecessary. The article only needs to say that the Jedi traced it down and went there.
  • Better?
    • Better indeed.
• The fate of the nanny droids as well as the facility should be mentioned in both the intro and the body.
  • Added.
• Image could be enlarged.
  • Enlarged.
• If a complete sentence, the image caption should have a full stop at the end.
  • Got it, added.
• An image category should be created for the droid.
  • Created and linked.
• (Reviewing note) Per Wookieepedia:Manual of Style/Proper use of the dash, an en dash should be used when hyphenating word combinations such as "dark side." Also, when linking to another subject, only the subject in question should be linked.
  • Got it.
• I'm not sure about the linking of Project Harvester to the mention of Sidious wielding an army of dark siders. Isn't the project just about kidnapping children for that purpose? - - -OOM 224 ༼༽^{talk}༼༽ 21:55, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I wasn't entirely sure about that either. Think I should link it to "kidnap" earlier in that sentence instead, or just drop the link entirely? DwartiiDelver (talk) 23:25, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
    • Kidnap works.
      • Done.
• The nanny droids' efforts shouldn't be described as 'best' since it's subjective.
  • Removed.
• The description for the second quote could use some context, like stating who Sidious is speaking to. - - -OOM 224 ༼༽^{talk}༼༽ 21:12, 29 December 2020 (UTC)
  • Added. DwartiiDelver (talk) 21:17, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

Toprawa

• Question: Why aren't we treating this droid as an R4 model? Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 22:35, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
  • I was referring to status articles such as G4-S8 and LM-7B. As far as I'm aware, I believe it's because the standard appearance of R4 astromechs has not been explicitly associated with the conical dome in canon. DwartiiDelver (talk) 23:14, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
    • I suppose this is a debate for another time and place, re: the TC, so I will strike this for now. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 18:48, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
