Talk: Aboveanddreaming

Welcome, Aboveanddreaming!

Hello, Aboveanddreaming, and welcome to Wookieepedia! We hope you like the place and choose to join us in building the best Star Wars encyclopedia there is. Here are some things you should know:

Wookiees-Transparent

New to wikis? Don't worry, we were all new once. Our welcome page has everything you need to get started, and the Jundland Wastes sandbox can be used for test edits. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—be bold!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wookieepedian! If you have any questions, you can consult our FAQ, ask a question in the Senate Hall forum, visit our official IRC and Discord channels, or leave me a message on my talk page.
May the Force be with you! —Lewisr (talk) 15:49, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

Tense

Hey there! Please be aware that in-universe topics are written in past tense as per the Manual of Style, which you didn't do here on Hunter. Thank you! Lewisr (talk) 17:15, 10 July 2022 (UTC)

Reminder about tense

Hey there, I'd like to again remind you about using the correct tense for in-universe articles according to the Manual of Style. Your edits on Wilco's company are much appreciated but are in the present tense, which I've gone in and corrected to be in past tense. This is a common problem for many editors, as it was for myself once upon a time, so don't worry about it too much but please try to watch out for this moving forward. Thank you and happy editing!

In use tags

Regarding your recent edits on raid on Castle Serenno: An {{Inuse}} tag was present on the page prior to your edit. That indicates that another editor is working on the page, and is intended to notify other editors not to touch the page to avoid edit conflicts. As you ignored the tag, I've reverted the edit. This is just a friendly reminder not to do that. SilverSunbird (talk) 21:34, 13 January 2023 (UTC)

Clone troopers/stormtroopers

Hey! Sorry for the late response, but for the record you don't need to ask for my permission to do anything haha, I'm just another editor like yourself! I suppose it wouldn't necessarily hurt to have a page like that, we do have sources that say the clones were redesignated as stormtroopers as in Legends, if you want to make one then be bold!. If you need any help then feel free to reach out to me Lewisr (talk) 04:13, 31 January 2023 (UTC)

Gender

Hey there. Although Wookieepedia had been doing this for a long time, we cannot assume someone's gender identity based on their physical traits or pronouns. You can see Forum:SH:Making use of pronouns for further information. Cheers, OOM 224 (he/him) 22:14, 1 February 2023 (UTC)

References

Hello! When adding references to articles, please be sure they are properly formatted and are not duplicates of existing references. The first instance of a reference would look like <ref name="Name">[[Reference]]</ref>, and later instances of that same reference would simply be <ref name="Name" />. Some sources—primarily TV shows or movies—utilize a template for their references. For example, the most recent episode of The Bad Batch would be referenced as <ref name="Metamorphosis">{{TBB|Metamorphosis (episode)|''Metamorphosis''}}</ref>. Other examples of such templates include {{TCW}}, {{TheMandalorian}}, and {{Resistance}}, amd there are others as well. I hope this helps! - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 23:31, 1 March 2023 (UTC)

Clones and gender

Hey, Above, just wanted to let you know I had to revert your reverts to my edits on Ding and Kicker. We don't assume all clone troopers are male anymore, now that we have Sister and Omega. Editoronthewiki (talk) 23:05, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

The star wars databank and numerous other sources confirms all clone troopers to be male by default unless stated otherwise, like with Sister and Omega, who are special exceptions. —Unsigned comment by Aboveanddreaming (talk • contribs)

  • The databank is wrong to claim all clones are male, per Sister and Omega. We just don't want to guess anymore unless outright stated. Not a major change, just means we use "them" in articles more often. Legends clones remain all male, as there was never any contradiction to that claim Editoronthewiki (talk) 23:11, 18 March 2023 (UTC)

I get all this is being done in an effort to be more inclusive, but the databank is an official and reliable source and can't just be considered wrong because it doesn't align with one's beliefs. Sister and Omega are special cases, and the ONLY female clones confirmed so far. Are the characters in the shows and movies considered wrong for referring to clones as "men/boys/brothers" just because two other clones happen to be female? —Unsigned comment by Aboveanddreaming (talk • contribs)

Alrighty, I'll head over there, and sorry if I came I may have came off aggressive (not my intention), tone/mood doesn't translate well into text Aboveanddreaming (talk) 01:46, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

I never said any of that and you are heavily misconstruing my whole statement. Maybe "beliefs" was a wrong choice of words, but I meant we shouldn't disregard official sources and information because one finds its validity to be questionable or outright wrong. Aboveanddreaming (talk) 02:44, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

  • "Beliefs" was a wrong choice of words, but I'm glad to hear it was just a gaffe. We do, in fact, disregard official sources and information when it's wrong -- for example, the databank says Frezno is a planet, but the episode guide and the episode itself says it's a moon, so we listed it as a moon.

Signing comments

Just for future reference, sign off your comments, use ~~~~ and your signature appears. It can be a hassle to remember at first but its easy to remember in the end, sorry to have to bring it up heh Editoronthewiki (talk) 00:27, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Reference guidelines

Hello Aboveanddreaming, please be advised that you should include references for all information you add, including referencing each individual paragraph. Also, when creating your citations, please use the correct formatting as illustrated here: <ref name="Name">[[Reference]]</ref> and also use templates when applicable, specifically {{TBB}}. See my cleanup to your edits on Imperial royal guard as an example. Thank you and happy editing. Wok142 (talk) 03:56, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

  • Hello again, just gonna remind you about referencing all your edits! You did a nice job on the Mayday write-up, but everything needs to be properly sourced. I've gone ahead and added in the references for you but do your best to remember this when editing. Thanks and let me know if you have any questions. Wok142 (talk) 20:05, 6 March 2024 (UTC)

Gender

Please refer to Vaughn on how to correctly word articles on clone troopers whose genders and pronouns are unknown to us. OOM 224 (he/him) 18:31, 20 March 2024 (UTC)

  • Echoing the messages above, please do not assume CX-2's, or any other character's, gender and pronouns based on appearance or voice. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 01:05, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
  • It is literally already sourced on CX-2's page what his pronouns are. Are you even looking at the page or are just seeing pronouns you don't agree with and reverting?—Unsigned comment by Aboveanddreaming (talk • contribs)
    • It's not something up to a person's "agreement," you only need to provide a source for it in the article body (like this). And please revise your references, as you can see in the Notes and references section, most of your references are not formatted properly. Per the messages above, a reference would look like <ref name="Name">[[Reference]]</ref>, and later instances of that same reference would simply be <ref name="Name" /> Thank you for your cooperation. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 01:52, 23 March 2024 (UTC)
  • As with every character page on this wiki, it was already referenced/sourced in the infobox, which you clearly just neglected to look at given the amount of times you reverted my ENTIRE edit despite it being correct. I'll take the blame for poor reference formatting, but I'm not going to be accused of "assuming" things about characters when the information is already there.—Unsigned comment by Aboveanddreaming (talk • contribs)
    • Your additions are not "incorrect" indeed, just please remember to add a citation for it in the article body like this and not just the infobox or any other page per the sourcing policy. Also, just for future reference, you can sign off your messages by simply typing four tildes (~~~~), the {{Unsigned}} is used to indicate the message's author when they forget to sign off.

Edit warring

Dialog-error

User warning: Three-Revert Rule.

You have come close to violating, or have already violated, the Three-Revert Rule.

If you continue to edit-war, an administrator will block you from editing.

Please reconsider your approach, and pay attention to the advice others provide.

TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 00:13, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Unless you somehow watched a completely different show than everyone else, did the LAAT that Hunter hijacked not crash and plummet into the ocean on Pabu? A conventional military force would consider this a "casualty". Did Scorch also not say "I'll have a full division on standby", which we later see being deployed on Pabu? Do you have any proof that all of this is "unverified" —Unsigned comment by Aboveanddreaming (talk • contribs)

  • "Unless you somehow watched a completely different show than everyone else…" Snarking is not appreciated here. And the warning above is not about the contents of the edit, it's about not performing more than three reversions if it's not to revert clear vandalism. As an edit war goes both ways, please do not keep reverting your edits on Raid on Pabu and Elite Squad Trooper and instead try to solve the disagreement by leaving a message on the talk page of the article, or the talk page of the editor you disagree with. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 02:17, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

I cannot have any form of discourse with the "user" reverting my edits on the Raid on Pabu page because it is an anonymous account with an IP address for a username and they have no actual talk page, and for some reason is allowed to exist and contribute to this wiki, and secondly its interesting how the user edit warring with me on the Elite Squad Trooper page gets no warning.—Unsigned comment by Aboveanddreaming (talk • contribs)

  • Wookieepedia articles are allowed to be edited by contributors without logging in (which shows their IP address instead of an account name) who can still access article talk pages. And the other user you are referring to is present on the wiki's Discord channel—user talk pages are not the only means of communication between editors. Still, the only point here is kindly asking you to not engage in edit wars with others, not to discuss who should get a warning message or whether anonymous editors should be allowed to edit. TanDivoInsignia-SenateMurders Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 03:20, 5 April 2024 (UTC)

Sure I'll stop, though its good to know that other users can get away with it without being reprimanded. Talk about lack of principle.—Unsigned comment by Aboveanddreaming (talk • contribs)
