 * 1) Worst. Nom. Ever. (Ataru edition). And dedicated to 4dot to boot.  Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 00:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 2) Can't help it Enochf 06:19, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

Oppose
 * 1) From the squalid cubicle of Graestan:
 * 2) * "It was not known if glurrgs were a separate species or if they were genetically related to the Gungans who employed them; whatever their origins, however, glurrgs were efficient laborers who compared favorably with the labor droids used by other contemporary civilizations; they were also unable to serve as warriors or leaders."&mdash;Too long.
 * 3) **Reworded. That one twasn't me. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 05:32, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 4) * Sentence about their swimming ability too speculative. Who's to say they don't just prefer land?
 * 5) **Fixed, I think. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 6) * Cannot a couple of those redlinks be eliminated? They look easy, and I'd say that you do possess Galactic Battlegrounds.
 * 7) * First two sentences of second paragraph of "Society and culture" are redundant in a few points.
 * 8) **Addressed, I think. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * 9) * My request for concept art was not from the Databank, but from The Art of Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Seriously, a scan of the very glurrg-like Gungan concept art would be appreciated.
 * 10) * Graestan ( Talk ) 02:16, 9 January 2008 (UTC)

 * Yes, I know the images are of wretched quality. If they could be upscaled or something, that would be marvelous; that's quite beyond my capabilities. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 00:44, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Unless this is just my computer, the caption on the miniature picture under the "Biology" section is partly covered by the article text and appears to read "A Gungar Glurrg." Maybe it could be rearranged? Toprawa and Ralltiir 00:57, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Aside from the miniscule size, the image looks fine to me. Do you have any suggestions? Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 05:33, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The image is fine. The caption itself seems to be partially cut off for reasons that are beyond my understanding. I would guess because it's so small? Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:52, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't even venture a guess, but that sounds reasonable. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:41, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Did you research what other sources say about Gungan construction? This article states that the Gungans were almost wholly dependant on Glurrgs. I wonder if other sources detail alternatives. --Eyrezer 07:59, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I have not researched the other sources, but I did reword parts of the article so that Gungan society has more ambiguity about whether glurrgs are the only source of labor. I don't possess NEGAS, EGAS, or any of those other wonderful resources that would detail such things. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:28, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ataru, I have NEGAS, and would be glad to look this up for you after I come home from classes in approx. 5 hours. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:31, 9 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the changes are much better. Nice --Eyrezer 00:04, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * For the record, NEGAS makes no mention of anything to do with Gungan labor. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:43, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Very important addition - they also appear in The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide - there's a picture and some information. QuentinGeorge 08:14, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, they don't, unless I've missed it. Wildlife was written before Battlegrounds was even created. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:28, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It is. It's not labelled "glurrg", but it is the exact same concept art used to create the glurrg. It has some information about the species, if I recall, it gives a few biological details. I recall noticing it when I read the book in the store a few years ago. In the Naboo section. QuentinGeorge 03:58, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * All right, I'll see if I can't find it. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:10, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I'm not sure what you're referring to. The only thing that I can find that looks remotely similar to the mini picture of the glurrg is the shiro, similar only in that they both have eye stalks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It's not in there. The book is on my lap. The book QG is vaguely remembering is Art of Episode I, from which many of the concepts in Wildlife are drawn. BTW, for such a lame flick, TPM had a great look and fascinating concept art. Graestan ( Talk ) 04:27, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
