MC80b vs. MC80B

[edit]

After checking various Star Wars star cruiser and technical databases I have found that they actual name of the craft in question is MC80b rather than the capitalized version; and though I have made this alteration before, it was hastily undone with no justification posted on the discussion page. I encourage anyone with conflicting evidence to present it. Mordecai121 23:16, 26 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I reverted it because Wookieepedia disagrees and because I did not remember the books calling it b rather than B. --maru (talk) contribs 00:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've also posted a comment on the Wookieepedia article though I refrained to change the entire article name there due to the possibility that more knowledgeable Star Wars fans might have counter evidence. Mordecai121 00:58, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That's pretty reasonable. --maru (talk) contribs 01:17, 27 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
And it paid off as well. According to Silly Dan, a Wookieepedia user, the correct spelling is "MC80B." I have changed all mention of the craft on this article accordingly. Mordecai121 04:10, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well then. All's well that ends well. --maru (talk) contribs 04:14, 28 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good article review

[edit]

There is one problem with this article, and one thing that would be nice to add, but not mandatory.

The lead needs to summarize the article, see Wikipedia:Lead section, or the relevant part of that page is

"The lead should be capable of standing alone as a concise overview of the article, establishing context, summarizing the most important points, explaining why the subject is interesting or notable, and briefly describing its notable controversies, if there are any."

Basically, the lead should summarize the three sections: 1Origin and design 2 Depiction 3 Merchandise. Shoudn't take more than an hour, and probably less.

What would be nice, but is not a deal breaker, is to have some more sources not related to George Lucas and StarWars.com added. The Lorne ref and the Wizards of the Coast are good, since they're independant of the subject. It would be great if you could find one or two more independant refs, just to nail down notabilty. I did a quick google news search, and there appears to be some stuff there. Apparently, the Mon Calamari cruiser Liberty was exhibited in the Brooklyn Museum of Art, for one. - Peregrine Fisher 18:05, 3 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'll (and I hope others) will get on the optional stuff now that the lead was taken care of and then add more sources on the way to FA status :) Judgesurreal777 18:25, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I would like to see more detail in the lead. "designed by Industrial Light and Magic" is all that summarizes the Origin and design section. Similarly, "Various Mon Calamari cruisers also appear throughout the Star Wars Expanded Universe, and replicas and toys of the ships have been released by merchandise companies." is trying to summarize the next two sections. Add sentences that summarize the main 1 or 2 points within each section. That should do it. Peregrine Fisher 18:59, 7 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Pass GA

[edit]

I was the one who failed this article previously, so I came back and have determined that this article now meets the GA criteria. Good work. If I feel ambitious, maybe I'll look at some other Star Wars GA noms. They're fun to read. Cheers.

I'm not sure how to role up the article history into one template, so if someone knows, please go for it. - Peregrine Fisher (talk) 06:38, 27 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GAR request

[edit]

I am working through the GAR requests. There is no requirement for third part sources to pass the Good Article criteria, however there is a requirement for these sources to pass our notability guideline. This article has no secondary sources so should be either deleted or merged. Merging was mentioned above and the decision was to wait for the GA review. So I am pinging participants from Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Star Wars/Archive 11#Proposed merge-and-redirects @Darkknight2149, EEMIV, and Judgesurreal777:. Don't let the GA status stop you from merging if it is the best option. It will be delisted (ping me if you don't want to do it) and don't forget atrributation. AIRcorn (talk) 23:37, 22 March 2018 (UTC) @Darkknight2149: AIRcorn (talk) 23:38, 22 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Aircorn: I do believe that merging would be the best option. DarkKnight2149 00:00, 23 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems to not be up to standards, especially seeing as it passed back in 2007. There are unsourced statements, room for more images, and many citations are not formatted correctly. I could be completely wrong though, hence why I have brought it here. JediMasterMacaroni (Talk) 00:22, 20 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was sure there was consensus to merge this article. It looks like it never got completed. That might solve the issue. Aircorn (talk) 06:33, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
OK merged it. If it holds this can then be closed as delist. Aircorn (talk) 06:45, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Ah didn't realize that, nice work. One question though: how do I close it? :P JediMasterMacaroni(Talk) 17:23, 5 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
I can close it. Just want to give it a day or two to make sure there are no objections to the merge first. Aircorn (talk) 17:59, 5 August 2021 (UTC).[reply]
