Wade Boggs' less successful, less mustachioed cousin. IFYLOFD (Floyd's crib) 01:39, May 28, 2010 (UTC)- Trak Nar Ramble on 20:23, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
- This nom taught me about a baseball player and about a French historian specialized in American history. Now I must google that Dr. Phil that has appeared in my own noms. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 06:36, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Just one, really minor thing. In the intro you say "one day before 0 ABY" while in the body you say "Sometime prior to the Battle of Yavin in 0 BBY." Why not use the intro's wording in the body? "Sometime" can mean almost anything, whereas "one day" is more precise. Xicer9(Combadge) 05:18, May 27, 2010 (UTC)
- Jang asked me the same thing, and my excuse was that I meant the intro to read more like "Once upon a time," not literally the day before the battle. Since this is proving to be a trouble spot, I've changed the intro to more clearly reflect what's going on. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:20, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Underlinking: Music at the very least.- This isn't a case of underlinking. It's really, respectfully speaking, your own subjective interpretation of what qualifies as music. I didn't think this necessary, which is why it's not linked to begin with, but to satisfy this point, I've pipelinked music into the article accordingly. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:50, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
"The story provides a rare insight" OR?- I don't necessarily think this is OR. I think that's kind of the unwritten point of the narrative. That this is intended as a rare glimpse into a part of the species that we, either IU or OOU, don't really see. If I may offer a quote from NEGAS: ...Every piece of their [Tusken Raiders] attire serves to keep moisture trapped near their bodies, and hygiene is only attended to in complete privacy, for seeing another individual's face, even accidentally, is cause for a blood duel. The singing Tusken in this story, believing he is in privacy, removes his breath mask, which in itself can be defined as a "rare" occurrence. So I think this works.

Who's this Wade you're talking about and why doesn't he (she) have an article? Skippy Farlstendoiro 07:05, May 28, 2010 (UTC)- "Whoever wants to know the heart and mind of America had better learn baseball." -- Jacques Barzun, 1954. It's a joke. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:50, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
Trak's thoughts
Overall, during my typo hunt, I didn't find anything totally objectionable until I got to the P&t section. The usage of "creatures" to describe Tusken Raiders seems biased. I would opt for a more species-friendly term. Trak Nar Ramble on 07:20, May 28, 2010 (UTC)Objection(s) overridden by AgriCorps 17:34, June 4, 2010 (UTC)- I respectfully disagree. The story explicitly calls the singing Tusken a "creature," which helps portray the events from Wenny Boggs's perspective, without necessarily infringing on NPOV.

- Could you add an image to the bio? Of Tatooine, of Tusken raiders, or anything that is related to him? -- 1358 (Talk) 19:30, May 28, 2010 (UTC)
Vote to strike Trak Nar's objection (AC only)
Supported without striking the objection. User has been contacted but has yet to respond, no reason to hold up the nom when she appears to have considered the objection addressed. Grunny (talk) 02:13, June 4, 2010 (UTC)
