Oppose
 * 1) A few things
 * 2) * Source the BTS.
 * 3) **It already is.
 * 4) ***I was unsure if when mentioning a source in the actual article text while still including that source in the source list was an acceptable method of sourcing or not. Personally, just for the sake of perfection, I like to throw a source at the end of the line, but it is otherwise okay, as you say.Toprawa and Ralltiir 07:52, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 5) * Include a mention of the Cloud City E-3PO in the intro.
 * 6) **That would be slightly off-kilter; this is an article about the production line, not the unit.
 * 7) ***Normally, I would definitely feel as though a well-known unit of a particular line would merit mention in the intro, for example, C-3PO would have to be mentioned in the Threepo-series line intro, but the key phrase here is "well-known." The Bespin unit's significance is negligible at best, and, you're right, in this case an inlusion would be inappropriate.
 * 8) * Include more specifics of the Cloud City unit's duties with Ugolste, as specified on the CCG card. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:57, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) **See point 2. If you want to read about that particular unit, he has his own article now. Thefourdotelipsis 07:00, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 10) ***I see that now.

Comments
 * And on... Thefourdotelipsis 12:00, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I think we might actually need to consider TESB novelization as the droid's first appearance. This is the description from pg 151: "Hearing it open [the door], he [C-3PO] turned to see a silver Threepio unit emerging and stopped to watch the other robot move away." Interesting to note that the 'E chu ta' line in unique to the film, God bless Kershner's genius. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:47, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I think I agree. I am not sure which is technically "first" as an appearance, but I think you are right T&R.  Master Aban Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 16:24, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Went ahead and made the change. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:45, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Wrap this one up and send it to Cooperstown. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:21, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
