Lott Dod

He was a Separatist yes! The reason the category for Confederacy individuals isn't on his page is because he already has the category Trade Federation members which is a subcategory of the Confederacy individuals, meaning we don't need to add it as its then kind of redundant, hope this explains why the category is not on his page! I don't think its protected though so not sure why you wouldn't have been able to add it. Thank you, have a nice day too! --Lewisr (talk) 14:05, December 7, 2018 (UTC)

  • No problem, glad to help! Thank you, you too! --Lewisr (talk) 14:19, December 7, 2018 (UTC)

Lott Dod new image

Apologies for the long time before my reply! Yeah those are official images in the databank and I think you can add it to the Legends page --Lewisr (talk) 17:30, June 11, 2019 (UTC)

TA-1313

If it was identified as a different character in Legends then it should be on TA-1313 rather than TX-20/Legends, so feel free to remove the information from TX-20's Legends page --Lewisr (talk) 14:16, August 2, 2019 (UTC)

Warning: Images

While all good-faith contributions to Wookieepedia are appreciated, we ask that you please refer to Wookieepedia:Images, which can be found under the "other policies and guidelines" link in your welcome message, and familiarize yourself with the sourcing and licensing requirements before uploading any more images. The only uploading method supported by Wookieepedia, Special:Upload, will prompt you to enter this information. Wikia's non-standard upload forms are not supported under Wookieepedia policy, and ignorance of the uploading rules is not an acceptable excuse. Continued violation of the image policy or falsification of any information in an upload description are considered vandalism and will likely result in a block. Thank you.

Lott Dod image from HoloNet News

Hello, its my understanding that you did not add the source in the source field of the template, which is absolutely needed if you want to upload images. So if you got the image from a website then you need to add the url into that field in the template. So if the image comes from https://web.archive.org/web/20050220194000/http://www.holonetnews.com:80/49/news/13328_3.html then you need to put it in the source field. Hope this helps --Lewisr (talk) 20:42, August 17, 2019 (UTC)

  • No worries, feel free to message if you ever have any questions --Lewisr (talk) 12:00, August 18, 2019 (UTC)

Lott Dod/Rune Haako

The only thing I can see is that Rune Haako's databank on StarWars.com says he appeared in AOTC whereas Lott Dod's says nothing about AOTC --Lewisr (talk) 14:24, August 20, 2019 (UTC)

Question

You recently edited Mining Guild and said the Commerce Guild was it’s parent company. What source says that?--Editoronthewiki (talk) 13:25, August 23, 2019 (UTC)

Mining Guild and Commerce Guild

You're supposed to source and add the referencing when you make an edit, which you didn't so I don't immediately know you were told earlier. Please keep this in mind for future reference --Lewisr (talk) 14:13, August 23, 2019 (UTC)

Nute Gunray the Trade Monarch

I have no idea what a Trade Monarch is, and I have not seen anything like this in any source so I don't really know sorry --Lewisr (talk) 11:53, August 30, 2019 (UTC)

  • Cad Bane doesn't really fit what the category describes as a Sith minion 'Followers of the Sith Order or Sith Empires who were not Force-sensitive.' I mean being hired by the Sith for a couple jobs doesn't really make you one of their minions, just says you're good at your job --Lewisr (talk) 12:07, August 30, 2019 (UTC)
    • Yeah I'd say its the same thing. No worries glad to help! --Lewisr (talk) 12:25, August 30, 2019 (UTC)

Supreme Commander (Empire)/Legends

Hi Alex, do you know which source said that Vader was promoted to supreme commander? It's always been a mystery to me. —Tomotron Revanchist Sith (Star Forge) 14:34, 26 February 2022 (UTC)

"Lord of the Sith"

Hello. You've added "Lord of the Sith" as an alternate title for Sith Lord/Legends, but I don't see it being sourced on the article, so I've reverted the edit per the Attribution policy. Please make sure that the information you add to articles are cited to appropiate sources, thank you. OOM 224 21:17, 25 March 2022 (UTC)

"Acting"/"de factor"/"virtual"

Stop adding these descriptors to Vader as the Commander-in-Chief. There is absolutely no need for them whatsoever. OOM 224 16:04, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

  • Rather than an official rank, "Commander-in-Chief" was Vader's role; so long as he served in that role, it is superfluous to apply the aforementioned terms to the title. OOM 224 16:06, 23 June 2022 (UTC)

Commander-in-Chief

For starters, there's no real evidence of when exactly he acted as commander-in-chief, the issue just says he did. Your argument that 'he's not even referred to as such in the OT and Kenobi' can also be applied to commander-in-chief, that has even less use in sources than Vader being a Dark Lord of the Sith Lewisr (talk) 14:29, 7 July 2022 (UTC)

  • Emperor's Fist never struck me as a title of any sort, more so some sort of moniker/nickname that was applied to Vader so I would personally be more in favour of referring to him as Dark Lord of the Sith. I'm still not completely sold on adding commander-in-chief to infoboxes, since again the source only says he acted as, it doesn't seem to me that it's the most accurate way to refer to Vader, whereas Dark Lord of the Sith is Lewisr (talk) 13:43, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
    • I'm not aware of ever adding "acting"/"de facto" to pages, so I'd appreciate if you didn't accuse me of things. Eh that feels like a complete exaggeration of the situation, all I'm trying to do is use the more appropriate way to refer to him. There's no need to resort to telling on someone, things can be resolved pretty easily. Emperor's Fist is not an Imperial title, and is really just a nickname so it's not really accurate to lead off with the idea that's what he officially was. There's no disputing that he was a Dark Lord of the Sith, countless sources say as much, and the only source that mentions Vader and commander-in-chief just says he acted as it. I'm not opposed to putting that fact down, that he acted as it, but to me the most accurate way as of now is to refer to him by Dark Lord of the Sith Lewisr (talk) 14:09, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
      • I'm sorry, but I suggest that we take a step back from this issue for a while because, as you pointed out correctly, this is tiring for everyone. Lewisr is a trusted veteran editor with rollback rights, and he's more knowledgeable about the issue than I am. You're right in saying that your edits have canonical basis, but it seems like there is no indication that neither Commander-in-Chief nor Emperor's Fist were Vader's formal Imperial titles throughout the whole of the Imperial Era. Consistency is key to our readers, and Dark Lord of the Sith is a well-established title for Vader throughout the whole of the Empire's reign, even when the Sith Lord is acting in charge of Imperial forces. With all this considered, I think the best way forward is just to return to the status quo of having "Dark Lord of the Sith" as the default title for Darth Vader in infoboxes. OOM 224 14:25, 8 July 2022 (UTC)
      • Things can be resolved, I even offered a compromise to the situation that I thought would be okay. I will repeat, I have no issue with saying he acted as commander-in-chief, but it needs to be made clear that it was not an official title/ranking he held and that he merely acted as the commander-in-chief, it's a slight difference to actually holding that title as was being added to pages before. I still think Dark Lord of the Sith is the default title we should be going with, but I accept we can use other ways to refer to him so we don't use DLOTS all the time in text, though in infobxes he should be referred to as DLOTS. Outside of those we can use the others to refer to him, but we need to go with DLOTS first for the sake of consistentcy. Though as OOM also said, it'd be best to step back from this Lewisr (talk) 16:05, 8 July 2022 (UTC)

Lorth Needa reference

You recently added a reference to the Lorth Needa article referring to "kenner", specifically around the Emperor and Supreme Commander. What is this reference supposed to refer to? -- Sulfur (talk) 18:52, 10 April 2023 (UTC)

Gorian Shard

You claimed that the episode establishes that Shard "allied himself" with Moff Gideon, which is untrue. Please do not add speculation to Wookieepedia's articles.

Titles

Hi. On this edit, it is not up to Wookieepedia as an encyclopedia specify Darth Vader's full title of "supreme commander of the Imperial fleet" in every article he is mentioned the interest of concision and clarity, or to claim that he was a "warlord," which can only apply to Vader in a literary context, not an encyclopedic context. Referring to Vader as the "Emperor's Fist" is not incorrect, but doing so out of context again makes things less clear for readers not familiar with that term. OOM 224 10:47, 6 April 2025 (UTC)
