Hello Editoronthewiki, Question: Why did you move the picture to the left side? The right side seemed fine enough... I'm just wondering. Anyways, May The Force Be With You! Supreme Commander Raxus (talk) 20:32, March 18, 2019 (UTC)User:SupremeCommanderRaxus

Droid starfighters

Battle droids and droid starfighters are quite different things, please stop moving the former under the latter in infoboxes. Fan26 (Talk) 22:20, March 29, 2019 (UTC)

Fanon warnings

Hello, when warning users and anons about fanon, please use this template: {{subst:Msg-fanon|~~~~}} . Cheers, Fan26 (Talk) 17:00, April 18, 2019 (UTC)

Warning and reminder

You can't assume that it was animation error and those were never intended to be Pilot droids. Yes, an animation error ocurred there, but which one was meant to be used? Who knows, but we know that Pilot droids were used there so that means that they're able to be soldiers too.

Also a reminder, be sure of your edits. If you aren't sure, then leave it and ask. Also just because another article does it, doesn't mean that its either correct or should be applied to every article.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 21:30, April 19, 2019 (UTC)

Battle droids

From B1-series battle droid: "Central Control Computer were located in an orbiting Droid Control Ship, and Central Control Computers were used because the budget-minded Trade Federation saved the production costs of thousands of individual droid brains.[2] By the time the B1 was used by the by the Confederacy of Independent Systems the B1 battle droid had been reworked to not require a central command signal to operate,[21] and these later B1s that did not require a control ship were capable of limited independent thought,[20]" the three B1 were capable of some independent thinking, hence CIS.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 21:34, April 20, 2019 (UTC)

Force Collection

Not sure, I guess since we dont have a date of when the cards were added to the app--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 01:58, April 21, 2019 (UTC)

Reminder

A reminder, just keep it simple on edit summaries. For example, "(Well google image says it says it)" that doesn't make sense to anyone watching the Recent Changes, if you have a question or comment please use the talk page of the article. Thanks.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 04:12, April 21, 2019 (UTC)

  • Again, long messages in edit summaries are not needed especially when are like this: "the point about B1 battle droids having long necks was pointed out to me in a generation tech video about their weaknesses. So there's that inspiration". Again, that doesn't make sense to anyone watching the recent changes, it doesn't help the edit history of the page. You find new information in someone's video that fine, just be sure that there's an official source with that information, but we don't need to know who told you the information. For example this is pointless, the edit summary doesn't make sense especially when the edit is about adding a link to humanoid--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 02:09, May 19, 2019 (UTC)

Mokivj

Hello! So if you haven't read Thrawn: Alliances, the Grysk stayed out of sight from the galaxy until the Imperial Era. For now, we keep them as "unknown species". Also, we have no articles about metal. --Supreme Commander Raxus (talk) 16:42, April 25, 2019

  • Please stop... --Supreme Commander Raxus (talk) 18:35, April 25, 2019
    • Let me explain again, So in Thrawn: Alliances, no one ever knew about the Grysk, only the Chiss Ascendancy and other species within the Unknown Regions knew about them. No one in the galaxy knew about them. So, the reason why I put "unknown species" is to allow the current reader to know about them and click on the link. Also, Anakin Skywalker didn't know about the Grysk involvement when leaking the vital information to Count Dooku. The point is, I want to have mystery within the article, and to allow the readers t investigate further. As for the picture, I'm still not done yet, the picture explains that Padme is looking for the droid factory, its all about the "History" section of the article. I'm aware that the picture is Padme on Batuu. Does this help? --Supreme Commander Raxus (talk) 20:34, April 25, 2019
      • Oh yeah, I forgot that you did that, we don't put the characters name again until the second sentence. Thats why I put "his" instead. It also allows me to put in a link to another article. --Supreme Commander Raxus (talk) 20:44, April 25, 2019

RE:Quick question and I will ask you

They seem to be okay--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 05:50, April 28, 2019 (UTC)

Reversions

Firstly, I would feel that Grevious randomly destroying battle droids out of frustration is separate from the execution of living beings as a punishment for a crime.

Secondly, as Ruiz has told you, don't put such complicated messages in the edit summaries. Especially not when you're reverting a reversion of an edit you made. In that case, the issue should be either brought up on the article's talk page or the talk page of the user who reverted you. Fan26 (Talk) 17:20, April 30, 2019 (UTC)

RE:Question

I don't think so, though you might want to use different words to refer to the certain character since it can get repetitive--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 23:37, May 4, 2019 (UTC)

Vitus

Regarding your message to Vitus, you'll note that he hasn't edited for about two weeks. Repeatedly messaging him serves no purpose. Fan26 (Talk) 13:29, June 8, 2019 (UTC)

Sourcing

I'm a little confused as to what you're asking s could you reword it please? Fan26 (Talk) 15:20, June 8, 2019 (UTC)

  • I'm not sure, you might want to ask someone else. Fan26 (Talk) 23:51, June 8, 2019 (UTC)

Sourcing question

Yeah, I think that would be a good call. IFYLOFD (Talk) 01:13, June 9, 2019 (UTC)

RE:Rise of the Separatists

Hey, sorry I was on vacation for two weeks! I don't have a copy of the book, the information I had was from pictures someone sent me from their copy, but based on review videos on YouTube, yes the book seems to have info on b1 battle droids--Vitus InfinitusTalk 05:58, June 11, 2019 (UTC)

Tales from Vandor

Hey there! I'll try and flip through my copy of this book when I get the chance. If I remember correctly the reference was pretty brief but will check Toqgers (talk) 20:58, June 12, 2019 (UTC)

Stark Hyperspace War

Yes it was mentioned in Star Wars: Force Collection --Lewisr (talk) 22:50, June 15, 2019 (UTC)

Templates

Please use {{ID|central computer}} rather than {{C|as central computer}}, it was introduced for this exact reason, thanks --Lewisr (talk) 17:45, June 21, 2019 (UTC)

Moving

Please do not copy-paste information from articles just to "move" the page. If there's need to move the page, that can always be donde by using the moving tool. Also, if there's no confirmation of the Lawquane family is a name in canon, there's no point of moving it to that name, It would be most appropiate to move it to Lawquanes.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 23:11, June 25, 2019 (UTC)

Thrawn

Hmm, I don't see any copy-paste unless you're referring to the one done on July 18, which was reverted that same day. Let me know if I'm wrong or if its in another page.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 03:00, July 24, 2019 (UTC)

  • Do you still see the copy-paste? Can you tell mw which paragraph(s) are the ones you're referring?--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 20:01, July 24, 2019 (UTC)

Afilmfanforlife

Are you User:afilmfanforlife? your edits are similar to his.--91.139.4.218 11:17, July 24, 2019 (UTC)

  • To answer your message on my talk page, yes both of them are the same user.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 20:06, July 24, 2019 (UTC)

Mining Guild and Commerce Guild

Apparently Rise of Separatists states that the Commerce Guild was comprosided of multiple companies including the Mining Guild. I asked about it on the talk page for Commerce Guild and DarthRuiz30 cleared it up for me. The CG article also has MG listed among its subsidiaries in its infobox. --Alex of Star Wars (talk) 13:36, August 23, 2019 (UTC)

Notes

If you're going to make notes, you can't just say 'later episodes' because we know that some of the episodes take place in 0 BBY, so you need to explain why its circa 1 ABY and not circa 0 BBY --Lewisr (talk) 02:15, September 2, 2019 (UTC)

  • Apologies, now I realise it was just one you used from a different page. The point still stands in that we need to fully explain how we got to the date --Lewisr (talk) 02:23, September 2, 2019 (UTC)
    • And if you aren't aware we have a (Approximate date) template so you don't need to put c. --Lewisr (talk) 02:36, September 2, 2019 (UTC)

Reply

Really its down to how you want to word it, as long as it explains how you got to that year then it doesn't matter either way. If someone modifies it afterwards then so be it --Lewisr (talk) 18:47, September 2, 2019 (UTC)

1 BBY

I removed them because we don't have anything that *definitively* places those events in that year. The Heroes of Mandalore trivia guide referencing Bo-Katan's character model advancing her age "18 years or so" is helpful as an approximation for Heroes of Mandalore, but "18 years or so" is vague enough that it could just as easily mean a couple years more or less. On pages of individual events or characters we can say stuff like "circa" or "approximately," but the year page itself it's best to have only events we know 100% were in that year. The dates for Rebels episodes between "Secret Cargo" and "Rebel Assault" are still up in the air (though I'm looking for and HOPING I come across something that gives us more certainty). Toqgers (talk) 19:39, September 2, 2019 (UTC)

Bray

I don't really want to put the same objection down on your FAN nomination that Tommy already has, but as I was looking through Bray (stormtrooper) I noticed at least 2 occasions where things weren't making sense. I'd advise going through again and making sure everything is making sense --Lewisr (talk) 23:14, September 6, 2019 (UTC)

  • 'To save the Captain, FN-2187 used the Bray's flamethrower to kill the animals attacking him,' 'When he suggested that the creatures should be moved rather killed off, Bray snapped at the trooper.' Mostly its either one word missing/needing to be removed but it still makes the difference --Lewisr (talk) 01:20, September 7, 2019 (UTC)
    • Yeah they look better now! What I meant was those were two examples I noticed and fixed, but you fixed them further. You still need to check the rest of the article incase there are more --Lewisr (talk) 17:10, September 7, 2019 (UTC)
      • If you don't mind my jumping in here, Editor, Lewis is right when he says there are more. Please look over the article carefully and try to find and correct them. Fan26 (Talk) 17:12, September 7, 2019 (UTC)

B1's Tales from Vandor

I saw your message on User:Toqgers page, I can't seem to find any mention of B1's in the book. I will take another look over the next couple of days but right now I don't see anything --Lewisr (talk) 00:38, September 13, 2019 (UTC)

  • All I could see was just 'shut down battle droids.' There is a picture of a standard battle droids head, maybe Toqgers just missed out the Po template --Lewisr (talk) 01:14, September 13, 2019 (UTC)
    • The image is colored, and yes its a B1 because there's also a OOM command battle droid head so the difference is clear --Lewisr (talk) 03:31, September 13, 2019 (UTC)
      • Midnight puts in his journal that at some point he spoke with Chewie about the Republic invading Kashyyyk at the end of the war to protect it from the Separatists and how he fought with some of the most famous Jedi Generals such as Yoda and Unduli. He then says Chewie told him the 'clone forces were still on Kashyyyk when the Republic became the Empire, even though there was no enemy left to fight - just shut-down battle droids.' --Lewisr (talk) 11:36, September 13, 2019 (UTC)
        • To be safe I'd say at best its at least after the events on Mimban, he could've spoke with Chewie off screen whilst they were on Vandor, I don't think this is absolutely clear on when it was --Lewisr (talk) 18:51, September 13, 2019 (UTC)

Tales from Vandor

Hey there, really sorry it took song long to get back on you on this! I'm looking through my copy right now of the book to find what it says about Battle Droids. I'm pretty sure it wasn't anything new info, just quick Clone Wars reference but will let you know what I find! Toqgers (talk) 01:19, September 18, 2019 (UTC)

    • Alright I found it! There's a section of the book that talks about Chewie's history and Midnight (the narrator of the book) mentions "Chewie said that the clone forces were still on Kashyyyk when the Republic became the Empire, even though there was no enemy left to fight—just shut-down battle droids." And then on the opposite page, there is an illustration of a few clone helmets and battle droid heads. Toqgers (talk) 04:05, September 20, 2019 (UTC)

Palpatine Archive

Yes, it was there after the Battle of Endor. And as for whether it was confirmed, no, I do not believe it was confirmed.--Doctor Starwars (talk) 21:05, September 22, 2019 (UTC)Doctor Starwars

Hey, sorry about your CA getting TC'd. For what it's worth, I thought you were doing a good job working through objections. Hope to see you back on the CAN soon. Fan26 (Talk) 01:18, September 23, 2019 (UTC)

Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition

Yep! There are battle droids. They've got a two page spread, just like the original version with some updates. Toqgers (talk) 21:33, October 4, 2019 (UTC)

  • Just checked OOM-9's entry and compared it with the original as well. The text is exactly the same, with only 2 minor changes to the image captions, so still says B1 battle droid in the text, but OOM command battle droid listed as the model. Toqgers (talk) 16:40, October 5, 2019 (UTC)
    • BB-8's page in Ultimate Star Wars puts all of Marvel Poe Dameron (minus the final post TLJ arc :P) before the first episode of Resistance. It says he goes to the Colossus after they find Lor San Tekka. Toqgers (talk) 03:11, October 16, 2019 (UTC)

Hi there. I wonder why you undid my edit in the Special session of Congress page; the reference to the Clone Wars is wrong - the session was called near the end of the Revenge of the Sith film (I am watching the episode right now)...

Desertnaut (talk) 18:14, January 3, 2020 (UTC)

Special session of Congress

Hi, I am trying to correct some mistake in the Special session of Congress page (it happened near the end of the Revenge of the Sith, and not at the very end of the Clone Wars, as currently mentioned), but my edits are repeatedly undone! Any ideas? Thanks (UPDATE: forget it, I realised my mistake, sorry)

Desertnaut (talk) 18:19, January 3, 2020 (UTC)

Grievous's fortress

I would've thought its name would be pure conjecture because it was simply titled "Grievous's fortress", instead of something else, even though it's referred to as "Grievous's fortress" in a Star Wars book. Perhaps I'm wrong. --Erebus Chronus (talk) 21:59, January 11, 2020 (UTC)

  • You would understand how I would get to believing it was conjectural by how the title was labeled. --Erebus Chronus (talk) 22:01, January 11, 2020 (UTC)

Clan Rook member

Are we really going to say that she isn't the leader of Clan Rook despite having authority to pledge her clan to the Mandalorian resistance? Literally, the only guy who didn't have that authority was just stating the obvious. –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 05:59, January 12, 2020 (UTC)

But then what is the point of adding the {{Conjecture}} tag? It's been confirmed that she is a member, but it can be assumed she is the leader.
I also wouldn't rely to heavily on the Concept Art, since that early character draft had blue eyes but the one in the show has brown eyes (thus showing things were changed). –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 20:59, January 12, 2020 (UTC)
The official credit is "Lead Rook Warrior" –MJL ‐Talk‐☖ 21:38, January 12, 2020 (UTC)

RE: Complete Vehicles

Hi Editoronthewiki. Surely you also own the 2018 edition of Complete Vehicles since you've been adding to the appearances section? Identifying every piece of wording that has been changed between the original Legends version and the newest version would be a huge task in comparison, but I know for a fact that much of the Rogue-class starfighter page was rewritten since it was originally the Porax-38 starfighter page in Legends. Mentions of the Resistance have also been added in several places throughout the Original Trilogy pages. Given the rewrite I'm fairly confident we can treat it as canon. Ayrehead02 (talk) 02:28, January 20, 2020 (UTC)

  • No need to apologies! Sorry if I came across as rude in my response, that wasn't my intent, I was just trying to convey that I don't think finding all the differences would be feasible for anyone since there are quite a few amidst the large amount of text. If I spot any others I'll let you know. Ayrehead02 (talk) 02:38, January 20, 2020 (UTC)

B1 droid card

It's from the 2020 Base Series. I'll make the page for it later today. UberSoldat93 (talk) 02:14, January 23, 2020 (UTC)

  • Link. UberSoldat93 (talk) 09:35, January 23, 2020 (UTC)
    • According to the app, the set was last updated on December 6, 2019. Usually, that means that's the release date. UberSoldat93 (talk) 19:18, January 23, 2020 (UTC)

FFG articles

It depends on the date of the article and if the product that they're promoting is considered canon or legends.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 23:47, January 23, 2020 (UTC)

  • I would keep it in the external links section. Is there unique information on that article that can't be found anywhere else?--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 00:51, January 24, 2020 (UTC)
    • That sounds to be gameplay information rather than canonical information.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 00:57, January 24, 2020 (UTC)
      • In my opinion, I don't think that's canonical information. If you feel that could be canonical information you could leave a message on the B1 talk page or ask someone else.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 01:22, January 24, 2020 (UTC)
        • I don't work with many FFG articles, given their messy situation, and if I work with FFG source then I work with RPG sourcebooks only. So I'm not that familiar on who FFG website articles work. Davin Felth I see why it was added in the sources section, since its the only place where the trooper is named, but I don't see why the B2-ACM trooper is there, probably just because it was first mentioned, but the actual source for that would be the Legion expansion pack, not the article.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 23:20, January 24, 2020 (UTC)

Resistance dates

The Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary places the events of SWResistanceLogo Star Wars Resistance — "Station to Station" in 0.3 ASI which equates to roughly 3.6 months after the Starkiller Incident. SWResistanceLogo Star Wars Resistance — "The Recruit" is placed in 0.5 BSI by Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker: The Visual Dictionary and placed in 34 ABY by the timeline shown at D23 2019. This same timeline showed that Star Wars Resistance would conclude a year after Star Wars: Episode VII The Force Awakens which Star Wars: Galactic Atlas places in 34 ABY meaning that SWResistanceLogo Star Wars Resistance — "The Escape" must take place in 35 ABY. --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 16:31, February 9, 2020 (UTC)

Hello there! I'm DFaceG, the one who nominated the Kazuda Xiono article for featured status.

Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith Dates

Darth Vader: Dark Lord of the Sith 21 and 22 have to take place in 14 BBY as they take place shortly after issue 20 in which the rogue Inquisitor chase occurs which has been dated to 14 BBY because it takes place shortly after issue 19. Therefore, these two issues definitely take place in 14 BBY. --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 3:17, February 13, 2020 (UTC)

  • The multiple designs of Fortress Vader led to the construction of the castle taking multiple years and eventually leading into 12 BBY in issue 23 (the date on that article needs to be adjusted as only part of it is proven to take place in 12 BBY). --Mr Star Wars Amino Republic (talk) 3:36, February 13, 2020
