- Tentatively. That really was a mess, needed a copy-edit bad. Graestan(Talk) 21:39, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

- Looks like Graestan's suggested copy-edit has happened; it seems good now, extensively ref'd and linked, good BTS notes for the episode ties Enochf 22:47, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

You should familiarize yourself with our current GAN rules, specifically item number 15. BTS sections are now prohibited in OOU articles per recent CT decision. As a personal note, all current OOU GAs with BTS sections will be appropriately evaluated at the upcoming AC meeting next Saturday. Additionally, FWIW, efforts are currently in the works to revise the other sections of the aforementioned CT to formally adopt a set OOU Layout Guide format, meaning that any current OOU status articles will more than likely require a total revamp should it pass. Something to keep in mind.Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:29, March 9, 2011 (UTC)- OK, I changed the Bts section to a Production section, do you think this is acceptable? Also, who is currently working on this new OOU Layout Guide? I would like to talk with them about some of my ideas for it. Kilson 20:36, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Hey there! I floated a proposed OOU layout guide a few months ago, but the CT reached a no-consensus as the general feeling was that "development" sections should go after the plot summary, rather than my suggestion of before. I've come to quite like the idea, and I'm currently seeking some advice on how to best restructure it before I re-propose it, so if you have any ideas or suggestions, yes, I would love to hear them! Shoot me a message on my talk page. Menkooroo 23:53, March 9, 2011 (UTC)

Please go through the article and copy-edit it. I can see a bunch of typos at a quick glance.1358 (Talk) 19:03, March 15, 2011 (UTC)

I'd like to see some context for Leland, Sue, and Filoni- Added, as well as some references for the info.
How does the number 1138 have only a possible appearance?- Not sure why that was there. Deleted, unless you have a reason how 1138 showed up.
How do you know that that's an LAAT/i in the last panel? I don't think we can see enough of it to be certain of what it is.- Changed
According to your Appearances section, they're in the RSO center; but in the plot summary you just say it's a barracks. Which is correct?- RSO, added to the plot summary
Any reason the RSO itself isn't mentioned in the plot summary?- See above
I'd suggest making a Continuity section to give the RSO retcon information a better fit in the article.- Good idea, added.
For the sake of convenience, I would suggest splitting the rest of the current Development section into Conception and Production sections, as per current consensus in the OOU SH thread. On that note, you may also want to move the Appearances secction to the end, per current consensus in the thread.- Split. I can't wait till Menkooroo proposes that Layout Guide so we can have this thing settled.
- As a note, be very careful with your grammar. There were myriad mistakes that I fixed in my copyedit. Jonjedigrandmaster (Talk) 19:40, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
Prelude[]
Any chance that some quick notes of Dooku's inspection and Palpy's convo with Katuunko can be added to the intro? The intro seems to imply that the comic is exclusively about Rys and Jek, and it seems short enough that a couple more sentences wouldn't hurt.- You're right. I added another sentance. How does in look?
Can all of the second half of Conception really be sourced to the Ambush episode guide and the databank? The episode seems to have very little to say about Prelude. I feel like more precise sourcing throughout ( to the webcomic, to Ambush, and to the episode guide) would be better, making it clear precisely which parts of the paragraph are attributable to which sources.- I sourced it a little more. How about now?
- Excellent! But "later shown in the episode" should be sourced to the episode.
- Self sourcing. 15:43, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
- As the rest of the article is entirely sourced, even the self-sourcing statements, would you be OK sourcing this bit too? There's nothing in the rules saying we have to, but I think it's good practice to source everything in OOU articles in order to distinguish them from common IU bts sections. Menkooroo 15:47, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
- Makes sense, added the ref. Kilson 16:06, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
- Awesome, thanks! Check out the one additional thing I wrote below.

"Prelude was written by Pablo Hidalgo, drawn and colored by Thomas Hodges, and lettered by Grant Gould. Special thanks were also given to Leland Chee," is currently sourced to Leland Chee's profile on the sw.com message boards. Can you stick a reference to the webcomic after "Leland Chee" ? Sticking the same ref after "Sue Rostoni" and "Dave Filoni" would also be a good idea; even if it crowds the paragraph with refs, it seems more correct.- Reffed those.
Are there any more (First appearance) that could be added to Appearances? Seems like it was Katuunko's, to name one.- I got Katuunko, but I don't see anymore that need it. If you do, just tell me and I'll put them in.
- All I got. Very well-done. Menkooroo 04:33, March 30, 2011 (UTC)
Wait, I had one more. Can you upload a new version of File:RSO.png with the two complete speech bubbles filled in? Speech bubbles that are completely in an image are supposed to have their text left intact.Menkooroo 15:53, March 30, 2011 (UTC)- OK, reuploaded the file. How does it look?

I'd like to see some mention of the multiple characters that appear on the comic's cover but are not featured within the comic itself.- I added a new paragraph over this to the Continuity section. Do you think it fits there?
- Looks good.

- A piece of advice, Kilson: It's not a good idea to go around announcing you've promoted an article to GA status before the nomination is archived. Objections can still be made even if a nomination has enough approval votes. Please keep this in mind in the future. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 23:18, March 31, 2011 (UTC)
- My apologies. I did that due to over anxiousness and stupidity. I promise it will not happen again. In any case, thank you for the review. Kilson 23:44, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Approved as a Good article by AgriCorps 19:54, April 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Just as a note, links to redirects are frowned upon. I've changed the links to point to the actual articles. Just be careful of this in the future. :) MasterFred(Whatever) 19:36, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Thank you for telling me Fred. Kilson 20:36, March 9, 2011 (UTC)
- Hey Kilson, if you want an easy redirect finder, paste
a.mw-redirect {color:darkorange}
into User:Kilson/monobook.css or User:Kilson/wikia.css, depending on which skin you use. That will make all links to redirect dark orange (color can be changed, too). 1358 (Talk) 13:47, March 10, 2011 (UTC)- Thanks 1358, I didn't know about this new tool before now. After a little tinkering, I finally got it to work, thanks. :) Kilson 06:24, March 12, 2011 (UTC)
