Counterpart (talk - history - links - logs)
Generic concept, not needed. - Sikon 07:25, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
Keep
- The increased efficiency is a notable phenomenon and this article could be significantly expanded. -LtNOWIS 21:17, 29 March 2007 (UTC)
- Per LtNOWIS. jSarek 00:20, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
- Needs to be expanded and sourced, but definitely kept. Wildyoda 21:15, 31 March 2007 (UTC)
- Keep... I think. KEJ 23:08, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
- Canon be canon. Havac 05:45, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Confirmed to be Havac on IRC. - Lord Hydronium 05:49, 3 April 2007 (UTC)
- Keep only if it can be verified that having a counterpart makes droids more efficient. -- Riffsyphon1024 18:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- I think the note now under R2 and Luke's X-Wing should satisfy that. Specifically the 20%, though, haven't found a reference to that yet. Wildyoda 22:02, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
- I read about this somewhere (RPG or Technical Journal maybe?) so Keep if it can be usefully expanded.--Valin Kenobi 06:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
- With Havac's quotes, confirmed to be canon and notable. - Lord Hydronium 03:58, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- .... 10:33, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
- Worth keeping. I actually used this, to determine for myself whether C3PO meant "counterpart" as a generic term (like "chum") or whether he meant it as a specific droid-related function, which turns out to be the case. So here, I gotta disagree with Sikon. Gonk (Gonk!) 14:52, 21 April 2007 (UTC)

Delete without a source. But if the efficiency thing were sourced, then I'd switch to a keep.- Lord Hydronium 21:17, 31 March 2007 (UTC)- Same as LH. --Eyrezer 10:06, 3 April 2007 (UTC)

Comments
- I was about to vote for merging this into Droids, but the note about Luke's X-Wing and R2-D2 made me reconsider. Does this phenomenon apply to technology interaction in general? Perhaps this should be in a general technology article (which I'm surprised we don't already have). Esjs 05:55, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
- "He'd refused to let them wipe the X-wing's computer every few months, as per standard procedure. The inevitable result was that the computer had effectively molded itself around Artoo's unique personality, so much so that the relationship was almost up to true droid counterpart level. It made for excellent operational speed and efficiency; unfortunately, it also meant that none of the maintenance computers could talk to the X-wing anymore."

- "You can't do a counterpart encrypt between an astromech droid and a ship computer."
- ―Mara Jade
- "I like Artoo the way he is," Luke said. "And he and the X-wing work better together this way." "How much better?" Luke searched his memory. Maintenance had run that test just a few months ago. "I don't remember the exact number. It was something like thirty percent faster than a baseline astromech/X-wing interface. Maybe thirty-five." Mara was staring hard at Artoo. "That's counterpart-level speed, all right," she agreed reluctantly."

- "The encrypt on it is a very strange one-Decrypt thinks it might be a type of counterpart coding."
- ―Pellaeon
Can we accept that it's canon now? Havac 03:28, 21 April 2007 (UTC)
