Bantha
- ... that the bantha creature in Star Wars was portrayed by an elephant, who kept shrugging the costume off her body during filming due to the intense heat?
- ALT1:... that the bantha in Star Wars, was inspired in part by Banths, lion-like creatures featured in John Carter of Mars?
- ALT2:... that Anthony Daniels, the actor who played C-3PO, said the bantha was "one of the best things" in the original Star Wars film?
- ALT3:... George Lucas decided to make the bantha a live-action creature rather than use stop motion animation because he wanted a Tusken Raider to jump on its back?
Improved to Good Article status by Hunter Kahn (talk). Self-nominated at 03:12, 3 April 2020 (UTC).
for ALT1, ALT2;
for ALT2ALT3;
for the original hook, as it seems to be missing something. Article is high-quality and recently promoted to GA status. Hooks check out (with the exception of the original). Alt2 is my favourite, as I think it'll appeal to the most readers/lead to the most clicks. Josh Milburn (talk) 11:08, 4 April 2020 (UTC)
- Thanks Template:U. Yes, the original alt was missing the phrase "was portrayed by an elephant", which was of course a very bad omission. LOL But I'm fine with ALT2 per your suggestion. — Hunter Kahn 17:05, 5 April 2020 (UTC)
Josh Milburn, regrettably, you are not an eligible reviewer for this nomination, since you were the reviewer at GAN per WP:DYKSG#H2: Template:Tq The idea is that a new reviewer might spot something that the original reviewer might have overlooked in their review (and indeed this has happened in the past). So we're going to need a fresh review by someone not involved with the GA review. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:50, 18 April 2020 (UTC)
for the main hook, as the online source says only that the elephant kept shrugging off the costume. It would be okay without the last five words, or perhaps Template:U can say exactly where they are from? ALT1 falls foul of Rule C6.
for ALT2 and ALT3. Article meets the requirements and is recently promoted to GA status, Earwig has no concerns, QPQ done. Moonraker (talk) 05:48, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
- Template:Ping Thank God someone else reviewed it. To my eyes, ALT1 doesn't violate C6 at all! Must be because I'm "involved", and not because I understand that ALT1 is a claim about real-world inspirations, and not a solely in-universe claim about fiction. It's great that we have all these rules ensuring that we all waste our time bickering on pages like this rather than improving the encyclopedia. Josh Milburn (talk) 08:16, 19 April 2020 (UTC)
