Wookieepedia:Good article nominations/Police droid (Coruscant Security Force)

Police droid

 * Nominated by: Coruscantfan 02:57, November 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nomination comments: You would think that police droids on the galactic capital would be programmed with a little more intelligence than these guys appear to posses. No wonder they phased them out by EPIII.

Support

 * 1) Good job working through these obections. :) -- Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 23:39, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Cal Jedi

 * Infobox needs to be reloaded.
 * Done.
 * Context on N. Papanoida in the intro.
 * Done.
 * Context on Coruscant on its first mention in the Description section.
 * Done.
 * "After Amidala had been caught by the police droids and the situation was explained, she was released though the two thugs had escaped." Grammar problems here. There were multiple grammar problems in the article, some of which I corrected in my copyedit. It might be a good idea, however, to go through the article again and keep a sharp look out for grammar mistakes.
 * Done.
 * Linking problems throughout. I started to correct them, but there were multiple. So, I thought that you should go through the article again and look for linking problems.
 * Done.
 * The Appearances/Sources list needs appropriate tags.
 * Done.
 * The categories need to be alphabetized.
 * Done.
 * Take care of these, and I'll look through it one more time.-- Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 04:17, November 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I think I got most of the linkage and grammar problems. Coruscantfan 05:03, November 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I fixed a couple more things, and I got one more sentence for you to fix: "Amidala was spotted by police droids who didn't see the thugs, but took up the chase since she was going too fast and they noticed that Amidala was in a stolen speeder." If you can clean this up a bit, that would be good.
 * I don't know why but that whole paragraph just gave me trouble from the beginning. I think I got it fixed now though. Coruscantfan 23:18, November 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sometimes whole sections will give users trouble. Good job. -- Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 23:38, November 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! :) Coruscantfan 23:40, November 21, 2011 (UTC)

Lee's charge

 * Infobox: As the CSF is part of the Galactic Republic, it should be in the infobox.
 * Done.
 * Sure you checked all sources? I recommend that some kind of police droids appeared in Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter. Even if not, you can't say that they were active before the Clone Wars and source it to "Lightsaber Lost".
 * Done.
 * You still source the piece of text mentioned above to the TCW episode. Also, as police droids appear in the novel, you have to sum up their actions there as well.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 16:03, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Done. Coruscantfan CSFsymbol.jpg (Talk) 16:19, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * A little bit more context on Dooku in the body please, e.g. Separatist leader.
 * Done.
 * Otherwise nice.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 13:18, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! Coruscantfan CSFsymbol.jpg (Talk) 15:58, December 11, 2011 (UTC)

 * If you're going to expand the biography on the police droid for the Maul novel, I suggest you thoroughly take a look at it because IIRC the police droid was mentioned throughout the novel. Furthermore, please also check your behind the scenes. You currently not including any information about Shadow Hunter. Also, are you sure the droids haven't appeared elsewhere? For a while, and when the article was created, a few sources appear to be missing. Did you check those or were they removed before you began? If you're thinking that Filoni's comments are canon, please know that he is not an official source, so you cannot base anything off of him. You must include all information in the article regardless. You can have that bit about "they were phased out," but you need to include the rest of the information. This is guessing, and very much incorrect as it once stood. My edit was eliminated when I thought about why were those sources removed, and then I saw that Filoni comment. Unless someone who is officially affiliated with canon, like Chee, states something, all canonical information must be presented in the article. Was this your intention?

 * I've updated the BTS to mention the Darth Maul novel. The police droid appears only in that one sequence in the Maul novel. Later, CSF detectives are mentioned investigating the scene but there is no mention of the police droid. On the appearances: Coruscant Nights III: Patterns of Force was listed incorrectly. They are actually the 501-Z police droid. Also, the Gambler's World appearance is actually about R-55 which is why at the top of the article it is clarified that this article is about the police droids used by the CSF, not an article in general about droids used by police. I've added a link for the 501-Z droids too. As to Filoni, I added that based on the canon policy as it is a source material on StarWars.com, Filoni is I believe a Lucas Arts VIP, there has been nothing to contradict him on this statement, and his statements are at worst in a gray area according to the policy: Comments by Lucasfilm VIPs other than those listed above. Statements of authorial-intent, information released by authors to clarify details of their works, may or may not be canon. Also when I sourced the exact same in-universe information from this commentary for the FA CSF article, it was accepted and no other objections were raised on it so there is precedence in this case for that statement. So that was my intention. Coruscantfan CSFsymbol.jpg (Talk) 19:03, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * At this point then, we cannot assume the police droids listed in the Maul novel is this type of droid then. How do we know for sure they aren't 501-Z police droid or some variation? I would leave that information out until it's clarified.  JangFett  (Talk) 19:53, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
