[edit] Spelling?

My copy of Galaxy Guide 4 has "Ortolans". I'm adding a redirect, but if Ortoloan is a typo rather than an alternate spelling...Silly Dan 22:19, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)

  • I checked on Google, and searching for <Ortolan "Star Wars"> gets 863 hits, while searching for <Ortoloan "Star Wars"> only gets 10. I don't know how reliable Google is in the case of obscure Star Wars races, but I'd go with "Ortolan". -- Aidje 23:04, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
    • To my knowledge, I've never seen "Ortoloan." It's "Ortolan" in the Essential Guide to Alien Species, Ultimate Alien Anthology, and Star Wars Encyclopedia. JSarek 23:32, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC)
      • Yes, Ortolan is in the Essential Guide. Make this a redirect to Ortolan, and make sure all links are named the same way. -- Riffsyphon1024 00:22, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC)
  • The only source that I have seen that uses the Ortoloan spelling is Star Wars: The Visual Dictionary. --Azizlight 09:42, 4 Dec 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Grey Ortolan

I noticed that the Grey Ortolan at the bottom of the page appears to lack the large ears of the Ortolans, and also appears to have a four digit hand (3 fingers and a thumb) which are rather large, unlike that of other Ortolans... is it possibly a subspecies or even a separate one entirely?
