Forum:SH Archive/Homages

I am not sure that this is the right place to ask this, but is the best I could find after looking over the Consensus details in Help.

Like many multi-author projects, the canon Star Wars universe is full of homages to things in the real world. I also understand that if such an homage is oblique or brief, then we would want a source stating that the homage was intended, and not just coincidence.

But there are also obvious homages with multiple details making said homage clear beyond any reasonable doubt. In such cases, a consensus of editors about the homage should be enough to mention it in the behind the scenes section.

To whit, I believe that the ARK-II series Landmaster is a great example. The vehicles description in the Saga Rulebook is in large part a rewording of the Popular Science article about the real Landmaster. I summarized the main details on Talk:ARK-II series Landmaster, but another editor watching the page has blanked each of my contributions despite the list of corroborating details on the talk page.

Any help, even if just to direct me to the proper procedure for requesting third party input would be appreciated.
