Sep Council GAN

Hey Tranner,

you gave me an objection to my Sep Council GAN concerning references a long time ago. I was wondering if you could look it over again to see that the objection has been addressed, and give me a review if necessary. I completely understand if you've forgotten; its been awhile since the review. —Lucius malfoy7 20px ^{(Give it up for Lil' 'Soka Tano, ladies and gents!)} 22:22, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Raid on Ziro's Palace

I was wondering if you wouldn't mind giving Raid on Ziro's Palace a once-over for GAN. It's been sitting stagnant for almost two weeks, since Grunny cast his vote of support. It's my first nomination so, I'd really eager to see if I can get it to GA status. Thanks. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 23:48, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

May I ask why?

Why'd you remove the info I added to the Senate Commando page? It was in TPM. -Mecenarylord^{Enter if you dare} 00:01, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

• Okay, understood. Sorry for the confusion. Mecenarylord^{Enter if you dare} 23:22, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Scythe-class edit

Hey Grand Moff Tranner. I have tried to come up with a way to add a bit more about the cross of fire to the "Role" section, but everything I come up with seems to repetive based on my description of it in the "Characteristics" section. To be totally honest, I am going to be craxy busy the next few weeks, so I am not sure how much time I will have to spend editing articles. Can either you or Soresu edit the article to meet your requirement? I would like to have the article acchieve GA status this week, before I go on a Wookieepedia hiatus. I appreciate your help! :-) AdmiralNick22 01:00, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

• After taking a short dinner break, I was able to add a few more lines. Hopefully these will be enough to remove any remaining objections. Sometimes the lines blur together after reading this article so many times. :-p AdmiralNick22 02:51, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
  • Hey Tranner. Do you know why the Scythe-class article has not acchieved GA status yet? I don't see any unaddressed objections, plus I think that the article has the required number of votes. AdmiralNick22 03:23, 1 May 2009 (UTC)
    • Thanks Tranner. I appreciate your help! My next project with probably be the ShaShore-class frigate, which I will be working on over the next week or so. AdmiralNick22 20:40, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Feel free to add the {{User GA}} template to your userpage to acknowledge your hard work.

Hi... if i give you a link, can you get the images for me?.... if so, i'll give the link in the next message--Kigon 19:40, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

The link is on my talk page--Kigon 19:50, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

Darth Bandon FAN

OK, I believe I've taken care of your objections, I have an explanation for the first objection. Please let me know if you have other objections.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 14:29, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Kol as MotO

[1] Satisfied? Also, speculation is deemed acceptable when deductive logic leads to a particular conclusion. In this case, Kol was the leader of the JHC. Only the MotO is the head of the JHC. Therefore, Kol was a MotO. Prove me wrong. --Bold Clone 01:45, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

RFB

Tranner, I must thank you for your support of my nomination for bureaucrat. You've been a great help to me and the rest of the site lately, and you deserve to be commended for your efforts. If you ever require anything whatsoever, let me know. Graestan^(Talk) 03:13, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

One month already

Hello to all the members of WookieeProject: The Clone Wars! Considering the project has just been launched, we've had a great first month, taking three articles to FA status and five articles to GA status. I would like to remind you to please try to do whatever you can to help out; there are still many potential articles that can be taken up as projects, and many of you are already working very hard on them. In the next month, we have a goal to double (if not multiply even more) our current FAs and GAs, because once Season Two starts airing, there will be a ton of more articles that will require attention, and it's best if we get as many as we can out of the way now. Thank you for contributing!

Like Grae, you may just be a guest editor, but I'm still obligated to leave you one. :P CC7567 ^(talk) 20:19, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Congrats

Thanks, Tranner. I'll do my best to fulfill them. :) CC7567 ^(talk) 20:35, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

Asteroid victim officer

Hey Tranner, thought I'd show you this. It's a production photo of the asteroid victim officer scene. Not sure if he's even in this shot, though.

Serpent's big cheesy grin

Yo yo Tranner,

I think I got your objection on Serpent's Smile; let me know if there's anything else it needs :) -- —Harrar ^(Villip) 21:22, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Inq Meeting XXV

An Inquisitorius meeting has been scheduled for 23:00 UTC on the 24th of May. Your presence is requested. Apologies for the late notice. Thefourdotelipsis 00:01, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

INQCON

The new INQCON system is now in effect. For details on this new tool, please review the linked page. It is requested that you check any current featured article nominations that you have fully read and are currently objecting to, and change the respective INQCON number on the nomination if you are intending to ultimately support the article once your objections have been resolved. Also, please remember to change the Triage page when altering INQCON numbers. Any queries about the process can be made on the afore-linked INQCON page. Thanks, Thefourdotelipsis 00:44, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

Please remember to subst talk page templates such as {{test2}}. Thank you. --Imperialles 23:29, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Green Wing

From AGSWU, First Edition: "GREEN WING the radio callsign used by Green Leader's subordinate and second-in-command during the Battle of Endor. Green Wing lost his life when he, Wedge Antilles, Blue Leader, and Gold Leader assailed an Imperial communications ship during the battle. His efforts made it possible for the others to destroy the enemy vessel. Also appears in the Second Edition with minor rewording but no new information. Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:57, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

• No worries. Go ahead and list all three. We have separate articles for each. Toprawa and Ralltiir 15:20, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

TOR trailer articles

Since I see you now also have the InUse tag up on both the Sith and Jedi articles, do you mind if I make some edits to the Ven Zallow article, to expand the prose a little bit regarding the one-one-one duel between he and the Sith? I was actually in the process of writing out the Jedi one, and somehow, you were able to get your expansion saved without it causing an edit conflict (don't ask me how LOL). The only real difference in what I was doing and what you saved, was that I had fleshed out the duel details a bit more. Do you mind me still doing that? - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 23:34, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

• Good deal. Thanks. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 23:41, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
  • I re-added the image of him Force Jumping to the article. It adds image diversity. Showing him using Force Jump illustrates his abilities. The "death" image looks just like the first image of his locking sabers with the Sith, except that you can't see the sabers, and have no idea that he is actually being stabbed without a caption. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 11:55, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

In defense of my edit to the Sith article. I can't tell you how many times I've seen a nominator reply to a minor objection with something to the effect of, "you could have simply fixed that without making it an objection." That is why I went ahead and replied to it on the GAN page, because until now, I've not seen any instances where the nominator wanted absolutely no help with his nomination. I won't apologize for the edit, or for replying on the GAN page (the initial reply to Chack's objection only) based on that, though I am sorry if I unknowingly made you feel your toes got stepped on. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 20:05, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

• I apologize as well for my harsh reaction. I think we can both agree that our responses were over-the-top and reactionary, not constructive. I don't think we have to assume we can't get along and work together in the future. We just have to come to an understanding of how the other likes to work on things. And I think this situation has helped in that understanding, even if it did culminate in a headbutt *rubs forehead*. I shall do my best not to hone in on something you are working at, and I hope you will know that I will never do anything to try and undercut your work or do anything that isn't to the best of an article in question. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 02:34, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Triage

A new Triage meeting has been scheduled for next Sunday, June 14, at 23:00 UTC. We hope you will be able to attend, as there are a fair amount of nominations that need sorting. Chack Jadson ^(Talk) 13:56, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

WP:LE's one-year anniversary

Happy One-Year Anniversary. Thanks for all your efforts so far, Tranner. WookieeProject Legacy Era wouldn't be the success it is without the efforts of everyone. I've written up a small thank you at Forum:One Year Anniversary, so feel free to read over it :-). Grunny (Talk) 06:39, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

TCW Check-in

So that our project doesn't end up like that cruiser. Hey Grand Moff Tranner! This is your monthly check-in from your project head of WookieeProject The Clone Wars. Our Featured Articles haven't seen any additions as of yet, but our Good Articles are steadily growing. I'd like to remind you to check the current projects listing when you have the chance. If you still have the intent on working on any projects (specifically within the next two or three weeks) that you've reserved there, then it's fine. If you no longer have the intent to work on your project(s), please update it so that others have the chance to work on items there. Thanks again! Your project head, CC7567 (talk) 00:36, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Inq meeting

Hello. An Inq meeting is scheduled for Saturday, June 20, at 2300 UTC. Please try to attend, because we will be talking about the current state of the FAN page, what with all the summer noms. Apologies for the late notice. Chack Jadson ^(Talk) 00:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

Revan Discussion

Was that comment about being civil directed at me? I ask because it's been me on the receiving in of dismissive, cynical commentary although I admit I didn't really find it to be worth making a big fuss about yet. Yamagashi21 16:17, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

What do you disagree with exactly on the issue? Yamagashi21 19:33, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

If you didn't want to get involved why bother stating your opinion of disagreement? It's then only natural for the person to inquire why. Yamagashi21 19:58, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

I know you disagreed with me on this issue but it's finally been settled and it turned out I was correct to question the idea that Revan having light skin was canon. Yamagashi21 03:59, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

Hey Tranner

Tranner, just so you know I haven't forgotten about any of my GAN/FAN noms. I'm sorry I wasn't able to be on #TCW earlier before, but Tom filled me in on your concern. I'll be on #TCW if you like to talk. Thanks Tranner :) JangFett ^Talk 20:02, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Ozzik Sturn

I uploaded some new images of Sturn, placed them in the article, saved it, then reverted it. I did this so as to not change the page as it currently stands until you have a chance to look it over. If you take a look at this revision you can see the new infobox image, and the new image of his "welcoming" Leia to Kashyyyk. If you're OK with the updated images, then just revert it back to that revision. If not, then no harm, no foul. :) - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 13:24, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

Strill?

I saw that somebody (forgot their name) was doing something to strill and that you changed what they did to what I had made it. I waas just curious as to what in osik they were doing.--Darth Niffoc 20:35, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Adding nonsense

WP:TCW again

Hey Grand Moff Tranner. As project head for WP:TCW, I'm trying to get a better idea of who's still interested in participating in our project. If you're still interested in participating, please leave a note on my talk page or contact me in IRC. If you do not respond within a week, I will assume that you are no longer interested in participating. That doesn't mean that your name will be removed from the "Participants" list, but it means that any of your current projects will be removed from the project page so that others have a chance to work on them. Likewise, if you currently have any projects under your belt, I highly encourage you to review them, and if you don't plan on working on them within the next two or three weeks, I recommend reconsidering them. Thanks. Your project head, CC7567 ^(talk) 05:48, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Re:User talk:Graestan

Thank you so much, Tranner. Your words and recognition mean quite a bit to me. Graestan^(Talk) 20:40, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Wookiee Leadership

I, Graestan the Mighty, Merciless, Magnanimous, and Wise, being of certifiably unsound mind and hopelessly unfit body, hereby bestow upon you, Supreme High Grand Imperial Vizier Moff Tranner the Imperious, the Wookiee Leader Award for your selfless takeover of WookieeProject Ambition, your leading the charge with good and featured article nominations to that effect, and your growing status as a role model for newer users on the site. You have stuck it out through thick and thin, always keeping your nose to the grindstone, your feet on the ground, and your head well below the clouds. You have become an instrumental member of both the AgriCorps and Inquisitorius, and have begun to integrate yourself intimately into the policy-making organs of the site. Most importantly, you have kept cordial and positive to the best of your abilities, and it is not for nothing that I must recognize that a number of newer and even older users look up to you. Carry on, tarry not, tally ho, sally forth, excelsior, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et al. Graestan^(Talk) 00:29, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

KRONOS-327

I think that's pretty self-explanatory; there wasn't anything else on him in the film, and although you probably already checked it, there's nothing on him in the novel. However, if you need anything else, just let me know. CC7567 ^(talk) 23:34, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

• I'd have to rewatch the film, but from what I can remember, he didn't reappear after he was taken away. Although it's rather hard to identify all those sentinel droids when they all look the same. CC7567 ^(talk) 16:06, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
  • No prob, happy to help. CC7567 ^(talk) 16:11, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
    • Burton is listed in the film's credits as having voiced KRONOS; I think it's sourceable to the film itself. CC7567 ^(talk) 16:22, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Death Star I Quotes

Excuse me, Tranner. A while back I made an edit in the aticle for the first Death Star. I had moved the quote at the beginning of the article to the section titled "The Destruction of Alderaan", because I thought that it would fit better there. I then added a quote from Star Wars: Battlefront II to the beginning of the article to substitute for the moved one. You had undone my edits. All I want to know is why you had done that. I see you as a respectable Wookieepedian, so I'm not at all trying to be rude, I just would like a reason for your edits. Please respond on my talk page. That would be appreciated.

Needa

SWE

I believe you wanted this. I can place more here as I look them up.

Needa, Captain Lorth: An Imperial officer, he was commander of the Imperial-class Star Destroyer Avenger, part of Darth Vader's task force prior to the Battle of Hoth. The Avenger led the search for the fleeing Millennium Falcon after the battle. When Han Solo's ship escaped, Lorth Needa decided he had to personally apologize to Vader. The apology was accepted--and Needa was executed on the spot by Vader's use of dark-side power. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:32, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

BTM

Includes a glossary entry identical to the entry from SWE, and calls him "Lorth" as well.

These are the toggle call-out information blurbs from the "scene-by scene" ESB feature, in chronological order:

• The radio drama reveals that, on Vader's command, Captain Needa has directed probots to explore the Allyuen, Tokmia, and Hoth systems.
• Avenger. An Imperial Star Destroyer under the command of Captain Needa. A prominent component of Darth Vader's Death Squadron, the Avenger will sustain significant damage after pursuing the Millennium Falcon into the Hoth asteroid belt. The starship will also lose its captain when Needa is murdered by Darth Vader after he allows the Falcon to escape.
• This is from the actual script: Aother image is faded and continually disrupted by static. It is the image of Captain Needa, commander of the Star Destroyer most hotly on the tail of the Millennium Falcon.
• Captain Lorth Needa. The commander of the Imperial Star Destroyer Avenger. The Avenger has been assigned to lead the search for the Millennium Falcon.
• After losing the Millennium Falcon, Captain Needa is killed by the Dark Lord as punishment for his incompetence.

That is all. Now that I think of it, you should also look up the appropriate pages in the Rebellion Era Sourcebook. Needa is in there. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:11, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

• Surely if I add my vote and the Inqapproved template and then cut it straight into the relevant section, that renders the need to add a vote, save, then cut it out redundant? Anyway that's fine, I'll add my vote to Scotian again. -- —Harrar ^{(Cut the comm chatter)} 14:34, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Lecersen

A couple of points:

• "Lecersen was a Human male member of the Council of Moffs of the Imperial Remnant from as early as 41 ABY." Could you change the phrasing from "as early" to something else? I'm sorry I can be more specific with this, it just reads a bit awkwardly.
• "combating the Confederation, a confederacy..." Of course it's a confederacy. :P Please use another word to describe it.
• "Lecersen couldn't help but grin; he jokingly asked for Pellaeon's "psychic abilities" when placing future bets why did he feel this way." I'm afraid I don't get why Pellaeon had psychic powers here (yes, I know Lecersen was joking).
• "Fel's relationship with fellow Moff Vansyn..." That reads wrong, ie, that Fel and Vansyn had a relationship. XD
• You need a BTS too. :P

Other than that, it looks good. Chack Jadson ^(Talk) 22:05, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Troy Denning posts

If I were to post a link pertaining to Troy Dennings writing style and how it has turned off most of the original EU fanbase, would it be taken seriously or deemed vandalism? I think it is a very valid subject. Look at how many negative posts have been made on his page since it was created.

Padawan

Good catch on the Padawan vandalism. I noticed it a few minutes ago and tried to revert, but you beat me too it :) Is there a mechanism that you guys use to detect vandalism, or do you just look at recently-updated articles, or what? Either way, good catch. Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 16:39, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

Ki's Lightsaber Color

Noticed that you reverted a recent edit on the Ki-Adi-Mundi article. But coming to think about it, wasn't 79.65.34.156 right? The picture is from the Episode I Insider's Guide, and Ki carried a purple lightsaber in Episode I. It wasn't blue until Episode II. Makashi Flourish 19:48, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

KashyyykPartyWookiee! asks "why?"

Please tell me why you guys want me off? I hardly know what fanon is, and we all like STAR WARS here! why can't us geeks just get along? I expected some good messages once I entered since I've been on WIKIA for only a short time (since yesterday). Can we all bury the hatchet and start over? May the force be with you...
