Vader's helmet
Hello! The last time we saw Vader's helmet was when it was transported to Kijimi during the Force bond scene between Rey and Kylo when she is in his quarters, we currently don't know what happened to it after that, so for now we shouldn't speculate that it was destroyed --Lewisr (talk) 03:18, June 9, 2020 (UTC)

Sourcing gender
Hi! so you may have noticed that I've been undoing your edits marking Lys Solay and Nash Durango as female. This is because, while they most likely are intended as such, as per the discussion Forum:SH:Making use of pronouns, Wookieepedia's policies mean we can't assume gender based on appearance or voice. If you're able to find another source referring to them as female specifically or with feminine terms then that would be a sufficient source but I've rewatched the episodes you've sourced numerous times and not been able to find any lines to that effect. If there's a line of dialogue or detail you believe I've missed feel free to tell me in the replies. Best wishes, JM1998 (talk) 12:49, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

I'm sorry for my edit warring but it has been recently confirmed by the Shorts of YJA, that Nash and Lys are female. If it's from an official production, it's a good source. User:Elijah Palmer User talk:Elijah Palmer 9:28, 25 April 2023 (EST)
How to identify Gender
First off I just want to say your efforts to help are really appreciated. But I'm hoping you can take a moment to talk with me about gendering characters. I've reviewed "Meet the Young Jedi" twice this morning and unfortunately Lys Solay isn't identified as female in the episode. The use of she/her pronouns, as presented in the episode, isn't indicative of gender on the Wook anymore. I'd urge you to read Forum:SH:Making use of pronouns to better understand the separation of Gender and Pronouns. We could list her as female if a character/subtitles referred to her as lady, girl, woman, etc. I'm sure a novel or reference book will come out to identify her gender eventually, but at the moment policy dictates for us not to assume it.
If you'd like help identifying when we can identify gender, please feel free to reach out to me on my Talk page, or join the Discord where dozens of editors can help you in real-time. Thank you for your time. NBDani (they/them)Yeager's Repairs 13:44, 25 April 2023 (UTC)

R2-C4
Hey, we're generally moving away from the practice of assuming based off the R2/R3 suffixes, so that's why that edit was reverted and has been before Lewisr (talk) 02:12, 17 July 2023 (UTC)
But the R2-C4 (Bail Organa) article has the R2 suffix and he is referred to as an R2 unit. User:Elijah Palmer (talk) 22:19, 16 July 2023 (EST)
- Then it should be removed if there is no actual reference in material to R2-C4 being an R2 unit Lewisr (talk) 02:37, 17 July 2023 (UTC)

- You've come close to breaching the policy here too. As Lewisr and I are saying in the edit summaries of the relevant pages, there has to be a source before the shuttle from that FoD episode can be said to be the same as Ahsoka's Fan26 (Talk) 22:43, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- TV Tropes isn't an official source that can be used to confirm the ship is the same one as in FOD. You need an official like StarWars.com, a reference book or possibly a link to someone working on the shows saying they are the same. Hope this helps clarify what you need. Lewisr (talk) 23:49, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- It does, thank you. Elijah Palmer(talk) 19:52, 25 August 2023 (EST)
- Hi, regarding this edit summary, just wanted to explain TVTropes is not a valid source. It's basically a wiki site itself, effectively, and furthermore doesn't provide citations. I love it as a fun website, but it's not encyclopedic let alone a valid source for canonical information. Fan26 (Talk) 23:52, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

RE: Droid Template
Please do not keep adding the type field back without adding a placeholder value. Most droid infoboxes, like TAY-0, looks broken because of it. Thanks, Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 20:24, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
- What's a placeholder value? User:Elijah Palmer (User talk:Elijah Palmer) 16:29, 7 October 2023
- Hey there! What Anil meant above is that it will be more efficient and practical to first automatically add the new parameter to the template on all the droid pages with a bot - I've currently left a request for such a bot edit on Wookieepedia's Discord server, so let's just be patient for a bit. The idea is also that a bot will populate this new field with some kind of temporary value that can then be used to easily identify any articles needing manual filling out.

Hey, I just saw your message, though I also see that the situation has been explained above! Sorry Lewisr (talk) 20:59, 7 October 2023 (UTC)
Patience
Hey Elijah. I urge you to have some patience with the droid type field request. Don't forget that everyone who edits does some voluntarily so things may take a bit of a time, especially if the bot operators are busy with other things. The request will be done, but continually asking for it to be done or updating the request is only likely to push it back even further. I understand you are eager to update the pages, but please just have a bit of patience and it will be done. Thanks! Lewisr (talk) 14:52, 13 October 2023 (UTC)
R8 series droid
Hello! Thanks for creating the R8 series droid article. When making articles, be sure to only include reliable sources and only put information that is officially confirmed on pages. Additionally, be sure to name articles only based on what we know they're referred to as in their respective continuity; names should not be based on their Legends counterpart. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 19:37, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

The difference is that most of the Colossus residents weren't fighting the First Order for the Resistance, they were fighting them to repel them from their home, a few of them are actually affiliated with the Resistance, but not every single resident is Lewisr (talk) 23:34, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Hey Elijah, this is a legit use of hyphens that is also noted in our own Manual of Style. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 03:30, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
Infobox type fields
Elijah, please do not fill the character/droid infobox type fields with improper values just for the sake of having one, as not all infoboxes have to have one. For example, the character R2-C4 is not a "bureaucrat" even though it served Bail Organa, or the article for R2-R9, which is also a status article, does not state any explicit Republic affiliation for the droid. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 04:03, 1 November 2023 (UTC)

- Elijah, I'm kindly asking you again to stop trying to come up with an infobox type for articles that don't necessarily fit any of the existing color schemes. Lorn Pavan, for example, is not listed as a "Jedi" just because he worked at the Jedi Temple. Or Gersolik, someone who works in a dining establishment, and Rosack Denahst, a miner who works in a corporation's mines do not list them as "Corporate" individuals either. All of these examples are status articles, btw, meaning they have been reviewed by multiple editors for accuracy.
Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 14:25, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
- So what articles do fit?User:Elijah Palmer (talk) 11:06, 1 November 2023 (EST)
- "Jedi" stands for Jedi characters obviously, and about the "Corporate" one, the actual corporation members that come to my mind would be the Tagge Corporation's Orman Tagge, the Banking Clan's Mak Plain, or a more recent one like Hyne of Preox-Morlana. Also likewise, a droid that served someone who committed crimes doesn't have to be a criminal.
Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 17:11, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
- Ok thanks for clearing that up!User:Elijah Palmer (talk) 13:17, 1 November 2023 (EST)
- Sure, no problem!
Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 17:21, 1 November 2023 (UTC)
- Please, for the last time, I'm kindly asking you not to continue adding unfitting droid "type" fields. As I've explained to you above and provided some status article examples, that R4 astromech is not a "Sith," therefore shouldn't list that in the infobox. On another note, I'd recommend you not to create any other unidentified astromech pages until you have a better grasp on the notability policy as all the articles you've created have been nominated for deletion, which is time-consuming for other editors. Thank you for your cooperation.
Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 15:27, 5 November 2023 (UTC)

Notability
Hello. Please try not to be so rash when it comes to article creations or Consensus track votes. It's usually good to have some community discussion on Forum:Senate Hall first to ensure that a proposal without any prior discussion wouldn't get immediately voted down. Some editors have differing opinions on article notability, but we do have policies in place that have evolved from lots of discussions around that, plus ongoing Trash compactor threads where notability can be discussed; it's wise to talk with other Wookieepedians before taking action that ignore existing policies and practices. OOM 224 (he/him) 12:58, 2 November 2023 (UTC)
- On this matter I'd also like to add that you're already on Wookieepedia's Discord server, so feel free to float around any questions or suggestions you have on there, as well - sometimes you can get a response there even quicker than by posting on the site. Hope that helps, Imperators II(Talk) 08:32, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
Article quality
When creating an article, please make sure that the quality of it is per the standard of Wook's policy. Bonzane10 (holonet) 05:42, 3 November 2023 (UTC)
- Hello there! Just wanna add to the above. Please add proper citations to everything you write, which includes infobox parameters. Many articles you've created have been missing multiple citations a lot of times. You've been editing for some time, you should be familiar with Wook's policy. Cheers! Bonzane10

Re: BD Unit
- Due to the fact that page is based wholly on a LEGO source, it is non-canon. The page should have been marked as such at some point (I'm honestly surprised it was missed during the nomination process) but that is how wholly LEGO subjects are treated. Like I mentioned in the page's edit history, if it was a canon subject that was simply ID'd in the set then it'd be a different story. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 18:21, 4 November 2023 (UTC)

- As a LEGO set is not considered a canon representation of events (even if an official one), no. Unless a fully-canon source states that R2-BHD was the astromech used, that is not canonically the case—though it is notable for the respective articles' BTS sections. The only impact LEGO sets (or any LEGO source) have on full canon is if they provide identification for an already full-canon subject. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 18:37, 4 November 2023 (UTC)
- Then by that logic, wouldn't that make Behold-Urwar Droid Concepts canon anyway since it identified BD-1's manufacturer? Because a Lego set gave R3-D5 it's name.Elijah Palmer (talk) 14:48, 4 November 2023 (EST)

Hi, Elijah. First of all, Rebelscum.com is not an official website affiliated with Lucasfilm. About R7-TNO, as you know, this has been discussed in your Senate Hall thread, but you kept reverting your edit nevertheless and eventually got blocked for edit warring. If you continue this behavior, you may be blocked from editing again for a longer period of time. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 17:01, 23 November 2023 (UTC)
- But it lists him as an R7 droid and Rebelscum.com has a page on the wiki and has been used as an external link. Even this website says it's an r7 unit https://www.fanthatracks.com/news/collecting/disney-parks-droid-factory-round-up/ Elijah Palmer(talk) 12:23, 23 November 2023 (EST)

- Even this website says it's an r7 unit https://www.fanthatracks.com/news/collecting/disney-parks-droid-factory-round-up/ Elijah Palmer(talk) 13:18, 23 November 2023 (EST)
- As I've said, Rebelscum.com, or its YouTube channel, are not an official source for canonical information.
Reliable Sources
I've noticed there seems to be some confusion regarding what is and isn't a reliable source on Wookieepedia, and under what circumstances a source is considered reliable, per discussion on Talk:R7-TNO. I would heavily recommend reading Wookieepedia's Sourcing policy to help in this regard, it should hopefully clear up any confusion regarding the matter. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 16:43, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Advice
Hey Elijah, I would strongly recommend that you just move away from the R7-FNG subject, the packaging doesn't specifically identify the droid as as R7 unit, it's just the droids name. And we no longer assume based off the suffixes as I mentioned to you before regarding R2-C4 (Bail Organa) here. Considering the exact topic about R7-FNG was what led you to being banned, going straight back to it is not a good idea and possibly will only just lead to another ban if you continued arguing about it. Thanks Lewisr (talk) 19:49, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
- Elijah, please stop adding unverified information to the articles. If you continue to do so despite numerous warnings and explanations from me and other editors in the talk pages as well as your Senate Hall threads, you will be blocked from editing.
Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 22:32, 24 November 2023 (UTC)
Categories
When creating an article, please ensure it is sufficiently categorized with relevant in-universe categories. If it's done on an edit shortly after its creation that can work too, but leaving the page without any categories that aren't supplied by a template on the page can render the page somewhat difficult to find for people browsing the wiki. If nothing else, make sure the page has at least one in-universe category on it. - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 03:32, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
Towani
Does the LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga game actually mention the family by name and state they were crash-landed, or is the entire article based purely on that in-game image in the infobox? Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 01:28, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
- Yes. The game mentions them. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nyYpjUJiZx4 Elijah Palmer(User talk:Elijah Palmer) 20:34, 25 November 2023 (EST)

RE: TC
Hi, Elijah. I've already explained why I believe they are not notable enough to have their own articles on the TC page. You are free to make your case about why you think they shouldn't be deleted there, and the decision is up to the community. On another note, in the future, I strongly recommend you not create more pages similar to those already deleted per TC. Continuing to do so despite clear community consensus would be considered a disruption and may result in being blocked from editing again. Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 03:41, 1 January 2024 (UTC)

RE: Unidentified astromech droids
Please do not recreate them again. For the time being, I advise you not to create any other unidentified pages and take your time to have a better grasp on the notability policy, as almost all the articles you created had been nominated for deletion, which is time-consuming for other editors. Thank you for your cooperation Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 14:59, 1 April 2024 (UTC)
- Per the message above, I'm kindly asking you not to create any unnamed astromech articles at least for now.
Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 15:54, 11 April 2024 (UTC)
- Ok but I was only creating those astromech pages because they had story significance such as when the astromech droids on saleucami, lothal and geonosis actually interacted with the characters. User:Elijah Palmer (talk) 12:04, 11 April 2024 (EST)
- We literally had this conversation only three days ago, please refrain from creating more unnamed character articles for a while. There are many existing articles that could use your contributions while you gain a good understanding of the policies.

Uploading images
Please do not upload files without including all the information mandated by our Image policy. The only uploading method supported by Wookieepedia, Special:Upload, will prompt you to enter this information. If you upload more files without the necessary information, it may lead to you being blocked from editing by an administrator. Thank you for your cooperation.

Infobox type fields #2
Regarding your edits to Todo articles, please re-read the message above regarding the use of the infobox "type" field. Thanks, Anıl Şerifoğlu (talk) 18:19, 14 April 2024 (UTC)
Please do not replace Wookieepedia pages with blank content. Blank pages are harmful to Wookieepedia because they have a tendency to confuse readers. If it is a duplicate article, please redirect it to an appropriate existing page. If the page has been vandalized, please revert it to the last legitimate version. If you feel that the content of a page is inappropriate, please edit the page and replace it with appropriate content. If you believe there is no hope for the page, please see the deletion policy for how to proceed. Thanks for contributing to Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki!
Blocked
You have been blocked from contributing for six months for continuous edit warring. Elijah, as an experienced user here, and an editor who has been warned and blocked multiple times for edit warring beforehand, you should well know that you must not perform more than three consecutive reversions on a single article unless it's simple vandalism. But instead of trying to resolve the dispute peacefully, or at least explaining your reasoning for reversion in your edit summary, you have only reverted an old edit from that IP address again without any reasoning. The only thing that can be seen as an explanation provided for your continuous reversions (which alone is a problem) is for the IP user to "spell correctly," referring to their misspelling of the word "attack" in their edit summary. In short, what you have done is quite the contrary of dispute-resolving, it's not related to the actual contents of the edit (unless it's clear vandalism), and you have enough experience on this site to know this. I really hope you take this time to reconsider your approach to editing and communicating with other users in general, and please take another look at the pieces of advice provided by many editors on this very talk page. Lastly, please do not use sockpuppet accounts again to evade your block as you have done in the past, this will only result in the extension of your original block. To contest this block, please contact the blocking administrator with the reason you believe the block is unjustified.

Notability
Hey there, Elijah. Just wanna to remind you to try and not be too rash about article creation. You've been warned about this topic prior, so please make sure to read up on the notability policy. Bonzane10

Astromechs
I removed the lists because it is policy to not have such lists. As for the astromechs, nothing in those toys themselves actually identify them as separate classes, regardless of the similarity to existing Legends models, and obviously-non-canon toys do not a canon article make. Please do not revert my work on other articles because you're upset that I merged some of yours, please. Cade Calrayn 00:11, 3 December 2024 (UTC)

Trash compactor
No. Per the consensus policy, votes must be open for 2 weeks (336 hours) in most cases. The only exception is when a vote gets a 20-to-0 result and closes as early as 5 days, or a 9-to-1 ratio result, which can then close as early as 7 days. Forum:TC:Unidentified astromech droid pilot is neither of those—with 5 delete and 10 support, it doesn't meet the normal consensus ratios required for a "Keep" result either (ratios chart). For this to close as non-consensus (as it doesn't meet the required ratio for a flat "Keep" result), it needs to both be two weeks old and not voted on for a full five days after that, per policy.—spookywillowwtalk 03:15, 13 December 2024 (UTC)
Wedge Antilles' X-wing
Hey Elijah, just a note that you should really verify that Wedge actually appears in an x-wing in a certain appearance before listing, there are a few on the list you put on Wedge Antilles' X-wing, such as Star Wars (2015) 45, Star Wars (2020) 36, Aftermath, for example where he isn't in an X-wing at all.

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. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 19:56, 28 December 2024 (UTC) |
Re:
Hey, I see that you messaged the person who reverted (Hanzo) already, and it's been less than a day since you left him that message. Perhaps give him a decent amount of time to reply? He's also active in the Discord; you could shoot him a message. But, given Hanzo's had less than half a day to reply, admins wouldn't be stepping in at said point; this is is something that would benefit from patience; all editors are volunteers and most, esp if at work or asleep, won't be checking their talk pages.
A sidenote being that as noted above, WP:3RR does exist and admins have to abide by it whether we like it or not. Meaning, because your edit was reverted three separate times, by two different users (Hanzo + Ruiz), reverting it back isn't the best course of action and could lead to administrative action if it becomes too much of an edit-war. I suspect the reason people watch this page for changes in particular is because it is a featured article; and changes to any featured articles will always be monitored much more strictly than other pages. I'm sure Hanzo will stop by to explain why when next online; he's one of the site's most experienced Legends status article maintainers. And if not, you can drop it in the #legends channel in the Discord for input, after a reasonable amount of time has passed without a reply (aka, not immediately, patience being a key concept here).—spookywillowwtalk 05:18, 29 December 2024 (UTC)

Toys and naming
Elijah, please, stop. I get you want to be the one to find names and create articles, but a toy description from Amazon or Target is not a valid source for a non-conjectural name for a vehicle. Especially when it’s very clearly not an in-universe name and has obviously unnecessary capitalization. If an administrator (or other user, for that matter) undoes your edit, redoing the same edit when they’re not looking is not courteous nor acceptable behavior. Cade Calrayn 02:43, 24 February 2025 (UTC)
Article creation
Elijah, do you own the Star Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy? Because if not, you should really not be creating articles from it. The droid model/series article you made earlier looked very much like you just made it based off what you read on R23-X9's article; meanwhile, the actual text of the Encyclopedia explicitly states that R23 was a custom-built droid and not part of a series. This is becoming a pattern of not checking the source material, and it really can't continue. Cade Calrayn 23:53, 28 February 2025 (UTC)
- Sorry, I just saw the redlink and I figured I create a page for it. I'm in the middle of creating T3-K10's astromech model since it was mentioned in the encyclopedia. Is that fine with you? Elijah Palmer (talk) 00:51, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

Yes, I see that Ayre was the one who moved the page, but my point stands, that toy citation requires a function web link. I've reached out to him on Discord about getting the source. However: I don't care if you're copying what an admin did on an article, you should not be adding citations without actually checking the source yourself. Full stop.
