Style

Please refer to the Manual of Style for how to correctly write articles. Kuralyov 15:37, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Duplicating articles

Please take care when you are creating new articles - the Obro Skai (incorrect spelling), Opee Sea Killer (capitalization), and Sando Aqua Monster (capitalization) articles that you created already existed here. --Azizlight 14:29, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)


The Opee Sea Killer and the Sando Aqua Monster were links right form the main StarWars Wiki entry, so I saw they were red, and decided to create them.

Sorry about the misspelling on Obro Skai.

  • No worries. Yeah the Opee Sea Killer and Sando Aqua Monster pages weren't your fault, because Wookieepedia is case sensitive. Sometimes it's worth doing a search before creating an article, just to be sure. I thought I'd mention it because I didn't want you to make the same mistake again :-) --Azizlight 14:42, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)
  • And don't be discouraged, they're just "newbie" mistakes. You'll get the hang of it in no time :-) --Azizlight 21:30, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Korsima

CBenoit, we would like to know where you got your information about the planet Korsima. At the moment it is suspected fanon and is being considered for deletion. Thanks. --Azizlight 03:11, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)


I got the info from TheForce.Net, forget where exactly.

Its probably best that you delete it.


Sorry for the inconvience and everything.

Copying SWCCG text

  • Please don't copy the text of SWCCG cards verbatim to this site; that infringes upon Decipher's copyright, and thus can't be used here. Please paraphrase them. jSarek 03:49, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)
  • Sorry, you *have* been modifying them to some extent. Still, please be careful; adding a sentence from another source doesn't negate the infringement the existing text has. jSarek 04:03, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)
    • Even if you did get permission from a Decipher employee, I'm not certain that holds up, since Lucasfilm owns the characters. Besides, the style of this wiki and Decipher's style aren't quite the same (we use past tense, for example), so some modification would be needed anyway. — Silly Dan 04:05, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)
      • And please write in complete sentences. This is an encyclopedia. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:07, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)
      • Yes, please don't just copy the text from the cards vertabrim. Summarise the info in a style consistent with the rest of the encyclopedia. QuentinGeorge 06:20, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)
        • And please don't blank this page. That's a wiki no-no for everyone needs to be able to access your comment history. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:35, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)


Didn't know it was a no-no, sorry.

As for copying? I'm not, I even made a point of re-wording everything.


For the love of god

Can you please follow these simple rules?

  1. Categories on all articles. Even those you're not sure on, at least place in Category:Star Wars Universe.
    • For articles you're not sure on, place the {{category}} tag. --SparqMan 07:11, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  2. No need to link to Star Wars alone in your appearances and sources, please combine all words together like so: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
  3. Links to other pages do not need entire URL address when they're on this wiki. A simple link under the article name shall do.
  4. Please bold the article subject.

[Redacted by administration] -- Riffsyphon1024 07:07, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)


Sorry, was just trying to help out.

  • Really, please stop. Ah, yes, and why are you using both this account as well as your anonymous one (71.250.36.124) when creating these things? --Imp 22:55, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

When did I use the 71.250 one? I wasn't aware of that, I must have been logged ou, sorry.


And, you don't want me to make any new updates at all? Just because I didn't bold and italicized? Pretty elitist if you ask me.

  • Once again, I must ask you to categorize your articles. You've been here for a while now, so please do it. -- SFH 03:08, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Sorry, I don't always know what the catagories are for people, so I'd rather let you guys do it, than not do it and get yelled at by Imperiallus. CBenoit 03:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
      • When I'm not sure what cat to give an article, I'll often put "needs cat" in the edit summary so those who know the cat system best can see it and fix it quickly. jSarek 04:45, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Past tense

Please use past tense in in-universe articles. --Imp 01:36, 21 Dec 2005 (UTC)

ISB category

I removed your addition of Category:ISB agents, because it's already covered by Category:Imperial Security Bureau personnel. --SparqMan 02:41, 21 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Sign

Please sign your posts with --~~~~, rather than just typing your user name or attempting to link to it like [[CBenoit]] that. Thanks. --SparqMan 00:38, 21 January 2006 (UTC) So just typing CBenoit 01:06, 21 January 2006 (UTC) will link it to me? ..... let's try it: CBenoit 01:06, 21 January 2006 (UTC)CBenoit

VFDs

Contuing to remove VFDs from pages is a surefire way to get yourself banned. Kuralyov 06:54, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I have only deleted it once, on the Virtual Cards page and that was because I was completly redoing the article. CBenoit 06:58, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Then redo the article and say so on the VFD page. Kuralyov 07:05, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Virtual cards, etc.

I didn't remove the list of virtual cards from the CCG article because I don't think they should be there. I have disagreed with you on a couple of VFD pages on the need for so many articles on what is, despite its scope, only a fan project which is semi-official at most as far as Lucasfilm and Lucas Licensing are concerned, but that's not the reason for my edits. Bear in mind I still think that the Players Committee, and its work extending and keeping alive the CCG is a notable and laudable fan project, and probably deserves at lest one article. (I'd like to see any statements online where Decipher recognizes them as the official ruling organization for tournaments and the like, though. I couldn't see them last time I checked their site.)

The issue was that there were two lists of virtual sets. Even if the VFDs and related discussions go your way, and articles are created on each virtual set, only one list is needed in that article. —Silly Dan (talk) 22:38, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

    • Decipher PERSONALLY set-up the PC (players committee) to take over SW:CCG once they lost the license. They even flew some of the members of the PC's team (like Scott Lingrell, etc.) to Decipher's headquarters so they could have a meeting. Check out the Players Committee website, its all right there. E-mail Mike Carr about it, and he will give you all the info you need to see how "professional" it is. CBenoit 13:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Nye

Where did you get the information on Nye? I don't remember him in TZ. If you don't mind a Page # would help. Commando1138 03:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Never mind. But he is not an ARC, so i'm changing that. Commando1138 17:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Innacurate information

I've noticed that you have been contributing innacurate information to this Wiki, particularily articles such as Nye and Fi II. Please work on keeping your articles canonically correct. Thank you. Commando1138 02:39, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

    • I'm sorry, I thought they were ARCs, and I was doing the updates at school, so I didn't have RC:TZ on hand. I'm sorry they were just clone commando's. Chill out. CBenoit 05:25, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
      • Dude, theres no need to edit my talk page just to spell check yourself. CBenoit 06:44, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
        • Sorry, man:). Won't happen again. Commando1138 15:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

VFDs for fan-produced CCG expansions

We know what this Players Committee project is (you only had to explain it to me twice.) The information we found just didn't convince us it was worth writing the number of Wookieepedia articles you appeared to want. If you have any concerns now that the VFDs are over, I guess you'll have to take it up with one of the admins (probably Sikon, the one who closed the VFD) or start a thread at the Senate Hall We may want to continue the discussion anyway -- there are a couple of PC related articles which I still think could be merged. (Card sleeves are one example: we have articles on computer games and the Star Wars Roleplaying Games, but not on, say, joysticks or dice.)

Please don't let this discourage you from continuing to improve the Players Committee article and related articles which the community has decided are worth keeping (like Mike Carr), or the other articles where the Decipher cards can be used as sources which you've worked on in the past. —Silly Dan (talk) 03:04, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

    • I'm still offended that you refer to it as "fan produced". CBenoit 12:29, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
      • I don't mean it as an insult, I only mean that the new cards aren't officially licensed by Lucasfilm, even if Decipher has turned the responsibility for rule interpretation and tournament adminstration over to the Players Committee. —Silly Dan (talk) 22:41, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
        • Lucas's overseeing company also approved the PC. And esides rules, tournament administration, they also handle introucing new cards, errata (slightly different than rules), promotion of the game, etc. CBenoit 20:01, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

SWCCG

No, I have never played the SWCCG. Were there any problems with the way I categorized them? Adamwankenobi 05:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

    • No, I was just wondering. Its always nice to find players who did/do play the game. Just find it odd however that you bothered to edit them, if you don't play. CBenoit 05:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
      • BTW, I saw your note on my work area subpage. As you can see there, I'm actually planning to use yourTimeline of books and List of books to create seperate lists for adult novels, young adult novels, comics, video games, etc. Adamwankenobi 05:34, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
        • Go for it. If you need any help. Let me know. CBenoit 12:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
          • Just out of curiosity...which cards contain information about Kathol, as I can't for the life of me remember any of the cards being about the Kathol Sector at all. —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 05:56, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
            • I don't have the cards on hand (can check for you tommorrow), but I remember adding Kathol to the border article due to SW:CCG, I think either the Bothan Spies mention it, or a random DS-II (expansion) Bothan related interrupt/effect might mention it in lore. I'm about 98% sure, so tommorrow I should be able to check. If nothing does mention it, I'm sorry for the mistake. CBenoit 06:01, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
              • Hmm...well it certainly doesn't seem to be on the Bothan Spy card, the Bothawui card, or the Bothawui Operative card and those are the only ones I know of that are related to Bothans. —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 06:28, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
                  • Yea, locations have no lore, and the others there are characters. I think it might be an interrupt or an effect. I'll check tommorrow, and like I said, if I'm wrong, sorry for the mistake. 06:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Kathol on the Bothan Border

CBenoit, you say on the Bothan Border page that Kathol is identified as being in that area in the CCG. Do you have the direct quote for this, because as it stands, it seems hard to square this with the map.[1] Kathol Sector is on the remote fringe of the Outer Rim, at the end of the Rimma Trade Route, whereas Bothan Space lies in the Inner Rim, between the Corellian Run and Hutt Space. Thank! --McEwok 14:02, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

  • See all the discussion right here above it. I haven't gotten a chance to look through my cards yet. (School, work, fiance. Its tough to fit it all in). So when I get a chance, I will and post an update. And I will say now if I'm wrong, sorry. CBenoit 14:08, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Not to worry at all. My bad, too; I'm sorry I didn't pay attention to the discussion immediately above. --McEwok 20:04, 8 May 2006 (UTC)


Djas Puhr info

Can you please let us know where you got this information from? I can't find the source of it:

  • He was best known for claiming Salun D'Alor as a bounty.
  • He was killed trying to claim a bounty on Max Rebo in 7 ABY by another bounty hunter.

Thanks. --Azizlight 03:22, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Reply - Timeline

The last 6 of the Star Wars Adventures books are just reprints of some of the Episode I Adventures. So those six take place at the exact same point on the timeline as the Ep. 1 Adventures. Is that what you wanted to know? --Xwing328(Talk) 13:05, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

  • Yea. Ok, I understand now. Someone had told me to change it when someone had done that before, thats what I was wondering.

Thanks. CBenoit 13:09, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

    • There's a bunch of talk about where each of those go. I think 1-12 are supposed to go in 33-32 BBY, and 13-15 go immediately after Episode I. --Xwing328(Talk) 13:17, 2 October 2006 (UTC)


      • Should I reflect that on the timeline, or just kinda leave it as is? CBenoit 13:57, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
        • Probably change the timeline. If you want, see User:Xwing328/Notes for how I think that part of the timeline should be. --Xwing328(Talk) 14:18, 2 October 2006 (UTC)
          • Never mind,I went ahead and changed it. I hope everyone's happy with this now. --Xwing328(Talk) 16:47, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

More fanon?

You still seem to be adding information that is not official. Eg:

  • "Hirik", a Ranat
  • "As of 0 BBY [[[Leesub Sirln/Legends|Leesub Sirln]] was attempting to escape Tatooine, but she was unable to"
  • "Harecc Sied acted as the Tibrin senator in the Republic as of 32 BBY"
  • "The actual location of Tibrin might place in it in the Core. The CCG has it listed as a Parsec 3."

Where are you getting this information from? And you still haven't answered my question about Djas Puhr above. --Azizlight 13:42, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

The Leesub Sirlin bit was from her CCG card, check the lore.

I forget where I got the Harecc Sied part, that was a while ago.

The Tibrin part came straight from the CCG card. If memory serves me right, it has a Parsec of 3.

  • The Leesub Sirlin card never said she was trying to escape Tatooine. It says she was hiding in Mos Eisley. [2] And the Tibrin card never mentions the Core or the "Parsec of 3" info. [3] --Azizlight 14:18, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Oops, sorry its Parsec 2. CBenoit 14:39, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

SWCCG and Player's Committee

Hello! I was about to start cleaning up some of the redlinks on Star Wars Customizable Card Game when I noticed the discussion about the Player's Committee article being deleted (I was about to start writing the article myself). I saw your question on the SWCCG talk page about whether a new PC article would be deleted. I'm going to pose your question to SparqMan and Sikon. But first, let me ask you a question: is there more information about the PC than what is included in the SWCCG section? I don't think we want the section and the article saying the same thing. And like SparqMan said, we don't need a list of the staff nor articles about the individuals. Here's what I think needs to be said about the PC:

  • When and how it was created (with sourced proof that Decipher and/or George Lucas approved of its creation)
  • What it does:
    • Rule interpretation/errata
    • Tournament organization
    • Virtual Cards (we don't need articles on each set)
  • The role of the Player Advocate (again, no names needed)
  • optional: The interesting placement of the apostrophe in Player's (indicating singular possessive) instead of Players' (plural).

It seems to me that we should "export" a lot of what's said in the SWCCG article subsection to the PC article. Thoughts? Sorry for the long post. - Esjs(Talk) 01:51, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

When I am able to spend more time with this, I will gladly help you from there on.

Monument Plaza

Where are you getting the idea that Monument Plaza is in Return of the Jedi? It looks nothing like it, and there can, in fact, be two statues of Palpatine on the planet. Don't add it again to the article unless you have a canon source that identifies it as such. - Lord Hydronium 05:01, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Imperial Commando - 501st

Hi, I'm just wondering where did you get info this book will take place at 16 BBY as you added that in Timeline of books article. Thanks --Jedi Marty 02:55, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Kitik Keed'kak and Sai'torr Kal Fas

Hi, CBenoit! I noticed that you started the Kitik Keed'kak article with a note that Keed'kak followed Sai'torr Kal Fas out of the cantina and hoped she would lead to some eggs. Can you tell me where you got this bit of information? Neither of the characters' CCG cards mentions this fact. Thanks! ~ SavageBob 09:58, 7 May 2009 (UTC)

Oh, and any luck on this one? I still haven't heard from you. Thanks! ~ SavageBob 00:11, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Ranats on the Dowager Queen

Hello again! I'm working on the Ranat article, and I noticed that back in March 2006, you added this line to the article Dowager Queen: "Many Jawas, Ranats, and other rodent like species (as well as homeless, beggars, and junkies) live in the wreckage." Do you remember where you got this fact from? The CCG card Crash Site Memorial mentions Jawas but not Ranats. Thanks for your help! ~ SavageBob 00:08, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Players Committee

A single article on the SWCCG Players Committee may pass the Wookieepedia:Notability of fan projects policy. However, an article on the virtual sets will not: there will only be one article on Players Committee activities. Please do not edit the article on the CCG to include any links to any other unmade Players Committee articles.

I should also warn you that the notability policy may be tightened soon, so even a single article may be deleted eventually anyway. If you choose to create an article, please provide proof of notability. —Silly Dan (talk) 15:26, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Ok, but why does the SWCCG page keep getting edited to hell? The PC was created by Lucas, LFL, and Decipher. They are the current creators, stewards, and owners of SWCCG. Why do fansites get pages but the PC only gets 1 - if that? And even more then; why does the SWCCG page get mod-edited to oblivion just to prove that the PC doesn't exist? CBenoit 15:46, September 13, 2009 (UTC)
For one, your edits keep creating redlinks to things like "cosplayers" and "Virtual Set 1", and we don't have any plans to make such articles. For another, the Players Committee may be the official fan-supported continuation of the game, but its additions and activities are not particularly relevant to a Wookieepedia article. We focus on what new continuity comes from a game: all fan activities, officially recognized or not, do not contribute to canon. As a result, most people on Wookieepedia would prefer to have detailed PC information either restricted to an article on the PC, or eliminated altogether. —Silly Dan (talk) 16:56, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Edit summary comments

Do not accuse established users of vandalism when they make changes to an article that you disagree with. If you continue to do so, you will be blocked from editing. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 16:15, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

  • Ie. Don't edit my posts destroying lots of good work people have done because I don't like what you did. CBenoit 16:22, September 13, 2009 (UTC)

Talk pages

Do not blank your talk page. If you want it blank, please archive it first. 1358 (Talk) 18:19, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

  • As Xd said, please do not remove content from talk pages without archiving first. If you want to archive the page, just copy the contents to User talk:CBenoit/Archive1 and then blank the page, providing a link to the archive at the top. Green Tentacle (Talk) 14:30, December 31, 2010 (UTC)


Archived your talk page

Hey, buddy. I went ahead and archived your talk page for you in accordance with Wookieepedia policy. Archive policy is designed to keep a public record of your talk page, so offsite archiving doesn't really jive with that. And even if your plan is to leave Wookieepedia forever, your talk page would stay. It's policy.

  • If your page gets long enough to archive again, use the "Move" function to move the page from User talk:CBenoit to User Talk:CBenoit/Archive2. On your new, fresh talk page, slap a link to both /Archive1 and /Archive2. If you want to get fancy with the design, take a look at the Admins' talk pages to see how they're pulling off fancy page design. SinisterSamurai 15:07, December 31, 2010 (UTC)


Its policy to keep something that is being used to harass and bully kids in HS? Wow. Stupid policy. <--- Concerned parent.

  • I'm not sure I know what harassment or bullying you are referring to. I'm not sure you do, either. Click this, and you'll see the entire history of the talk page. The first activity this page has seen in more than a year was CBenoit's action to completely erase the page, in clear violation of policy. There is no sign of any sort of bullying or harassment on the user:talk page.
Are you suggesting that the page's existence is being used to harass and bully High School Student CBenoit in person? If so, how does erasing the page deal with the core issue? A reasonable explanation might (possibly) convince Wookieepedia Administration to make a policy exception. SinisterSamurai 16:59, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

My son who is "CBenoit" is --. Someone at his school figured out through this that its him and was bullying and harrassing him over being a nerd

  • I have been bullied and I have also been a bully. Bullies work thrive on the power trip. Deleting this page will not solve the problem. In fact, it's basically saying to the bully, "Hey, you win. I don't have the power to resist you." I'm shocked that a parent would actually encourage their child to cave to external pressures and not to be himself. Wow. Stupid parenting. <--- Concerned Nerd. Try self-defense lessons. Contrary to popular opinion, violence tends to solve problems quite thoroughly. Kids will learn this anyway. Some learn that lesson without guidance, without learning to restrain or properly apply small amounts of violence, and we get kids that shoot up schools, instead of just beating up a bully. Nevertheless, the Administration will be alerted to this issue. SinisterSamurai 23:04, January 1, 2011 (UTC)
