 * 6) Just from a random thought that popped into my head, is it possible that her name comes from the phrase okey-dokey? Might be worth a mention in the Bts.  SoresuMakashi ( Everything I tell you is a lie ) 05:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
 * 7) *I'd say it's highly likely, but as far as I'm aware, impossible to source. Thefourdotelipsis 08:45, 5 December 2008 (UTC)


 * THIS IS WTS. Thefourdotelipsis 01:43, 23 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No available quotes as far as I know; something sadly common with WTS. If the article explains me why Dokes's parents would feel any need to eat her ("would probably not even eat her themselves" Databank) when Swokes Swokes commonly carry relics of their deceased relatives in small pouches as good luch charms (Geonosis and the Outer Rim Worlds, and that's what I knew about Swokes Swokes corpse disposal techniques), then I'll be glad to support the nomination.
 * Well, since Dokes thought of her parents eating her as a given (i.e. not an exception to the rule, but expected) I would have thought that it was a part of Swokes Swokes culture established in the DB entry. I don't know if this works with GatORW, but perhaps they keep the bones...? There's no explanation in the DB as to why they would eat her either, which leads me to believe that the writer intended it to be a part of Swokes Swokes culture.

 * I see your point, but probably I did not make mine clear. As this Wookiee-article is the only reference to Swoken cannibalism, it should include some background on it, IMHO. Even if the Wookiee-article Swokes Swokes is updated with this information on their swokophagical habits (and I think it should), Oakie's article should be updated saying something like "This is the first reference to cannibalism in Swokes Swokes; when this was published, we only knew about Swokes Swokes bone disposal, but this DB entry provided insight about the rest of their corspe disposal tendencies." I would not be as annoying with something like that, but inhumation is very important for the Swokes Swokes upon GATORW. I will not oppose to this nomination, as I do not feel entitled to, but I will neither support it without this point - and believe me, I want to support it.--Skippy Farlstendoiro 07:46, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I would say that would be more appropriate to the BtS of the Swokes Swokes article. It's not particularly relevant to Oakie. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 08:39, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Another thing I think should be here and probably won't be: As sourced in Pablo Hidalgo's blog on Rookies: Rendezvous — Week Five Annotations, Dokes's well-known image inspired an image of a different Swokes Swokes in a similar position in Rookies: Rendezvous.--Skippy Farlstendoiro 12:17, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
