Support

 * 1) Nice work. Some redirect links remain; namely the reference links to the Atlas and SWG. --Imperialles 12:55, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Skippy is back

 * Underlinking: Pheromones (Btw, not "pheremones")
 * Bio, 4th paragraph. Can't you specify whether the caged Lamproid was a male or a female, instead of saying "it"? I seem to remember it was a female.
 * Hist, 3rd paragraph. I'm unconfortable with the use of "east" and "west" when talking about a planet's relative position. Does the OS use these terms, or are they assumed from seeing a 2-D map?
 * Same: Your wording suggest that Mon Calamari come from Mon Calamari and Quarren from Quermia. I ask you to specify that both species come from the same planet. And, btw, why did the Lamproids contacted the Calamarians and not the Quermians?
 * BtS: "Some sources do not capitalize the word lamproid"; "See, for example". Could you offer an exhaustive list of sources not capitalizing the word, instead of adding one example?
 * BtS: Hasbro did not produce simply an Ibegon action figure independently sold; it was sold as an "additional item" in a single pack with Trinto Duaba. This could (I think should) be added.
 * BtS: The Lamproid seen in Jabba's barge in Decipher's card is not really seen in Return of the Jedi; instead, it's a pasted image of Ibegon in the new background. This should be added.
 * Suggestion: The article is long enough to accept one more image.
 * Lamproids are cute. Can I get one? Please? Skippy Farlstendoiro 13:49, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * The pheromones, gender thing, Mon Cal/Quarren thing, sail barge thing, and illustration thing should be fixed. As for east/west/north/south, the Essential Atlas has established that these terms are kosher for describing galactic locations (presumably because it helps readers understand things, but it's in-universe too). As for the Quermians, the OS doesn't mention any encounters with them, so I can't say why, unfortunately. For the capitalization thing, I can comb through the sources again if you insist, but I didn't take notes on that way back when, and any future researching is going to have to wait quite a few weeks since I'm moving into finals! As for the action figure, I'm not convinced it's pertinent that Ibegon was released as part of a two-pack with Trinto Duaba. We usually don't even mention action figures; the only reason this one is notable is because it revealed her full anatomy for the first time. Finally, you should contact the Animal Control Division of CorSec; they may have a spare Lamproid or two. :) ~ SavageBob 04:15, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Thefourdotelipsis

 * There's some info in the history section that could probably be split off into a "Lamproids in the galaxy" section, I think. Otherwise, excellent. Thefourdotelipsis 13:35, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the review. How's it look now? ~ SavageBob 23:58, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Comments

 * There are a few redlinks left; these will be dealt with ASAP, but I need to go to bed for now... ~ SavageBob 07:09, May 14, 2010 (UTC)
