Captain Rex

 * ... that Captain Rex was created for the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film and its television series because George Lucas felt the previously chosen character's name created too much alliteration in the cast?


 * ALT1: ... that clone trooper Captain Rex of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars film and related television series shares a name with the droid pilot of Star Tours?
 * Reviewed: Family (Star Trek: The Next Generation)
 * Comment: I created the article from redirect this afternoon, but before it was a redirect, there was an article existing at the title before the subject could support an article (the series and film were only a year old at the time). Here's a link to old revision immediately before redirection. The Shubinator script will call the article out and skip over that the article existed as a redirect from February 2009 until yesterday.

 * Symbol delete vote.svg Created from a redirect. However, the original page, before it was blanked and converted to a redirect on February 24, 2009, contained 7863 characters of text. Even though this article is much better written and sourced, it is not a 5x expansion and unfortunately does not qualify per Rule A4. Yoninah (talk) 22:33, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * Ah, I didn't realize the rule wrt redirects was that. (And it still seems to me that the rules are... vague, is there a way to make that more clear? Or, am I just dense.) I didn't think anything of it because the bot didn't flag it as an error, but then again, like it says, no substitute for human review. (Pft, go for it after a GA nom, it is. That is possible, correct? A renomination after a failed one, that is?) At any rate, but what is the rationale for striking the alt hook? I'm just curious about that one, and so I don't attempt to resuggest the hook if a second run here is possible. ~Cheers, Ten  Ton  Parasol  23:42, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * yes, a GA is a great idea; you're most of the way there! The bot is a new experimental thing that was just instituted, and we're finding that it doesn't always cover all the bases as a human review would do. I struck the ALT1 hook because 1) I liked the first hook better (I tweaked it, adding "name"), and 2) it is not in keeping in with another DYK rule, Rule C6. Best, Yoninah (talk) 23:54, 6 September 2016 (UTC)
 * , mmmmmm, yes, C6, looks familiar yeah. I always read that one, then it promptly doesn't stick. Much appreciated! ~Cheers, Ten  Ton  Parasol  00:02, 7 September 2016 (UTC)
