Welcome

Imperialles, Welcome!

Hello, and welcome to Star Wars Wiki. Thank you for your contributions. I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wookieepedian! By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and vote pages using three tildes, like this: ~~~. Four tildes (~~~~) produces your name and the current date. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the Community Portal talk page or ask me on my Talk page. Again, welcome! --Riffsyphon1024 23:28, 16 May 2005 (UTC)

Trouble with that "e"

Just how are you able to create the little "e" with the accent on it? It does not show up at the bottom of my edit window. --Riffsyphon1024 06:11, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Well, I simply copied it from the article on Padmé Amidala, by following the link in your post. --Imperialles 06:13, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
    • Oh, well that works too. Like I did with Alpha O2, except that "O" has a slash thru it. --Riffsyphon1024 06:18, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Palpatine

I think it was you that managed to separate the Palpatine and Darth Sidious articles back to what they were from KFanII's merge. If so, you have done us all a favour. Many thanks --Mantus 15:33, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

  • No problem, it was really just a revert. --Imperialles 15:36, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

Online Sources

Since this has come up a couple of times, I just want to remind you to be very careful of what online sites you reference. Most of them aren't very rigorous, and the lack of rigor perpetuates misinformation from one site to another. Some fan sites other than mine that I trust (and even with them, I still try to doublecheck elsewhere if I can): Nav-computer.com; The Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia; TimeTales Chronology; and Nathan Butler's Timeline. If you want online primary sources, you've got Starwars.com, HoloNet News, Wizards of the Coast Star Wars content, and Decipher's SWCCG archives. I hope this is helpful. :-) --JSarek 21:44, 18 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Ah, what can I say, other than that I was young and foolish until I stumbled upon the Supershadow website, saw how idiotic it was, scoured through its pages, and removed Supershadow content I had added from this site. Won't happen again, chief --Imperialles 21:47, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
    • S'okay. This wasn't meant as a chastisement; I just remembered you also had info from that galaxy map website that turned out to be deceptive, so I thought I'd provide a couple of sites that I (generally speaking) trust to be accurate for you to use. --JSarek 21:53, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
      • We live and learn, and I suppose my lesson of the week is "Check your sources". Thank you. --Imperialles 21:55, 18 May 2005 (UTC)
        • We should make a list of trustworthy sources for all users. --Riffsyphon1024 01:50, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

Removing OOU from Battles

This OOU-removal crap is getting out of control. Why did the various movies and novels have to be removed. Someone can get lost in this. Remember, its not just us using this thing, but maybe someone completely new to the saga. I urge you to re-insert those OOU titles. --Riffsyphon1024 18:49, 22 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Look, a distraction! --Imperialles 18:55, 22 May 2005 (UTC)
    • OOU stuff should be put in the appropriate subsections at the bottom of each article, not erased. --VT-16 12:55, 29 May 2005 (UTC)
      • That wasn't the issue. I simply removed some headers in an article. --Imperialles 12:58, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Imperialles!!!

Do not respond to me with any use of swear words, or I swear I'll make an agreement to ban swear words from Wookieepedia - and all Wikis, if possible! --KFan II 21:07, 24 May 2005 (UTC)

  • Language police = thought police. Plus, it was just used to emphasize. --Imperialles 21:17, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
    • I have to agree with KFan that there's no reason to use such language. There are other, less offensive ways to emphasize a point. However, if you do want to use such language, I consider that to be your problem and I don't think that I need to argue the point or try to correct you. --Aidje talk 21:44, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • If you want to make an argument, feel free. However, the mere stating of an argument will not guarantee its popularity or validity. Also, threats have little place in a civilized debate; I feel the same way about threats and ad hominem that you do about profanity. --Eion 21:56, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • I'll take my chances using 'profanity' to emphasize until an administrator tells me to do otherwise. Also, who was the above comment directed at? --Imperialles 22:03, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
    • at KFan II, I have no problem with profanity. I just have no need for it most of the time. --Eion 22:53, 24 May 2005 (UTC)
  • Although I have no idea what KFan is talking about, as a general courteousy to others in this community, please refrain from using profanity. Thanks. --WhiteBoy 15:28, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Marvel Comic Book

"If you have issue #68 or #69 of the Marvel Star Wars comic series, please leave me a message, this is vital!"

I do. What do you need? --Austicke 04:21, 28 May 2005 (UTC)

3 Reverts

The Reverts on Kae have passed three in a single session. I will have to protect the page until a solution is resolved on the talk page. --Riffsyphon1024 10:12, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Yes, I reverted to my previous editions, as the editions the anonymous user reverted to were entirely unencyclopedic and full of fanon. --Imperialles 10:13, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Then you ought to make it apparent to this anon. Get others to help in this matter. I am heading for bed or something. --Riffsyphon1024 10:15, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • I did. I left him a message on his talk page. --Imperialles 10:16, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sources

Hey Imperialles. Please be sure that when you're beginning new articles, that you include the sources you've used for it. This is particularly important for more obscure items. It helps legitimize our content and help an interested user seek out further information. --SparqMan 22:15, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Duly noted. Added sources for those articles. --Imperialles 22:22, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Better to add them to the bottom of the articles, rather than on talk pages. --Fade 22:48, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Aye, I just feel that that would clutter up stub articles. --Imperialles 22:49, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • I agree it makes it look cluttered. Still, it helps add substance to a stub at the same time *shrug* --Fade 22:51, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • While it may seem to take up a large percentage of page real estate on a stub, it is essential to the process and may allow a user to see the source, look up some information, and add it. But thanks for the change. --SparqMan 23:34, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sith Categories

You need to rethink the categories. Darths Maul, Tyranus and Vader were all full Sith Lords, and Dark Lords of the Sith. You can be a Sith Lord, Dark Lord and an apprentice.

(Personally, I don't see the need for the extra categories - there isn't enough Sith characters to warrant it) --QuentinGeorge 13:00, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Ah, but by Sith apprentices I mean those who never managed to topple their lords. --Imperialles 13:04, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Then use "Sith Master" and "Sith Apprentice", as I said, Maul, Tyranus and Vader WERE Sith Lords. They just never became the Sith Master. --QuentinGeorge 13:06, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Deleting Sith Lords, creating new Sith Masters category. --Imperialles 13:09, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • But there were Lords during the period when everyone and their brother that was Sith was a Sith Lord. I'm not sure why we need these categories. Why not just "Sith"? I'm wearing of over categorizing articles. --SparqMan 14:18, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • I certainly see your point. If I am asked to, I'll delete the categories and re-insert the Master and Apprentice categories under Sith characters. It was fun while it lasted. =P --Imperialles 14:44, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • In general, it's a good idea to engage in some discussion before spending a good amount of time and energy on a project like that. In fact, we should have a larger discussion to define the Categories rather than haphazardly have them spring into life. --SparqMan 16:01, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your help!

I just wanted to drop a note letting you know that your efforts are much appreciated! We need to get that Wookiepedia award system up and going, so I can make you Wookieepedian of the month. (Are you listening Riff? Weren't you working on that?) :p --WhiteBoy 15:31, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • I was. In fact I've already passed out three awards. --Riffsyphon1024 15:44, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Ho ho - thank you very much! :D --Imperialles 15:47, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Whiteboy, maybe could make a section for Wookieepedian of the Month on the Main Page. --Riffsyphon1024 15:52, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • Whatcha think - Star Wars:Community Portal/WotM? Sound like a plan? --WhiteBoy 17:08, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • Lovely! Adding a link on my user page. --Imperialles 17:21, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Years

I have to ask how far we are willing to do this with the creation of year pages. Is it possible that at the end of one era, where they begins a period of unknown, that we could include on the yearbox at the bottom a jump or break to another period like ([[3,950 BBY]] -- [[100 BBY/Legends|100 BBY]]) or something of that nature, until we can successfully fill those areas. It's quite alot of work. --Riffsyphon1024 17:03, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Oh yes, good idea. I was getting a bit tired. Could you delete a few of the pages I created (from 3,964 BBY to 3,971 BBY), then? I'll create 3,396 BBY - 3,964 BBY. --Imperialles 17:18, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Well, that wasn't exactly what I had in mind. I was thinking that within the box we skipped so many years rather, but if you feel that a overview article for that period is needed, then that could work too. As for the articles you made, leave them up since things happen in those years in KotOR I beleive. --Riffsyphon1024 17:27, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Oh, right, I see. Well, sounds like a smashing idea. Jumping to 3996 BBY then! --Imperialles 17:34, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Where did you get specific years for the battles of the Mandalorian Wars? --Fade 07:33, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • From the Battles list. --Imperialles 09:32, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • I wonder what the source is for that? As far as I know, the game gives no dates concerning individual battles. Then again, maybe there are times when characters say "Two years into the war..." and that kind of thing. *shrug* --Fade 09:58, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • I shall track down the editor! --Imperialles 12:37, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
          • The editor was Kwenn. Doesn't seem to be active anymore. Perhaps Riff can contact him/her via per e-mail? --Imperialles 12:40, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
            • Yea, I found the editor shortly after I replied, and then gave up after viewing the user and talk pages, heh. I'm going to see what I can turn up online. --Fade 12:55, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
              • Apparently the wars are discussed in Insider #80, so maybe it's from there? I'll keep looking anyway. --Fade 13:01, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
                • I'll ask around for that issue. --Imperialles 13:02, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Comic covers

Hey while you're on a comic cover binge, the Dark Horse site has pretty high quality versions of most of their covers available. --SparqMan 03:29, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Yeah, I know, going to work on those soon. The reason I chose relatively low-quality pictures for the Marvel Star Wars comics was that the better versions were huge (about 200kb) in size. --Imperialles 08:06, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Jedi Generals

See what I mean about the list on the Jedi General page? It's going to get huge, very quickly. :) (And that's even before we add EU Jedi) QuentinGeorge 02:25, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • How about "Major Jedi Generals", or "Notable Jedi Generals"? That way, we can exclude several of these goons. --Imperialles 02:27, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Maybe, but who is a "Major General"? A Council Member? Do we include Anakin (since he's a General and a Council Member, but only leads in a couple of Battles)? Some battles have more than one General as well; see Salecuemi, which has Oppo Rancisis, Quinlan Vos serving over Jeisel, K'Kruhk, Xiaan Asmeru. --QuentinGeorge 02:36, 12 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Char Box

Let's not make any more changes to the Template:Character until we can work out what we all want there. The changes already made (which I think should be reverted) have screwed up all existing pages with the box. --QuentinGeorge 07:24, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Sure. --Imperialles 07:24, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • According to the overwhelming vote to remove the three items in question, I did just that now. --Riffsyphon1024 07:49, 16 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Sith categories

I'm in favour of folding all the Sith categories back into "Sith Characters". The ones we have at the moment are a bit vague, and people seem to be unsure where to put each character. --QuentinGeorge 04:23, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Yeah, sure. Should prolly wait until we've decided to call the categories "characters" or "individuals". --Imperialles 16:08, 18 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Creating User Page

While I appreciate your enthusiasm for satisfying wanted links, it is inappropriate for you to create user pages for others without their permission. --SparqMan 00:31, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Well, I'm hardly the first one to do so (see JimRaynor55's user page, where you apparently was the first editor). My edits don't make it less editable, and I don't see how "This is User's user page" is harmful. Anyway, I'll stop. --Imperialles 05:09, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Xendor

Greetings- I'm trying to verify the data on the regular Wikipedia's Xendor page (esp. since only anons. have dealt with it, and we have had problems with anons. inserting bogus SW characters into SW ancient history), but I'm having a bit of a problem finding sources- I have never heard of 'im, Google does nothing, and you are the only one to have touched Wookiepedia's Xendor article, and you didn't feel fit to source things. So, if you remember, could you tell me where you found that data? --Maru 01:40, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • The info on Xendor is from the A. C. Crispin Han Solo books, IIRC. --SparqMan 01:45, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • Sparq, you sure about that? I do remember Xim the Despot in the Han Solo books, but I'm fairly sure Xendor wasn't mentioned. --Maru 16:24, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Well, Solo is always running around saying, "Minions of Xendor!". IIRC, The New Essential Guide to Characters also makes mention of him. I don't recall the details. --SparqMan 16:50, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • It's mainly a complete rewrite of the CUSWE article... *blush* --Imperialles 05:10, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • No shame in that. Their entries are suitable summaries for stubs in most instances. So long you do a little extra research to confirm their information (I've found several inaccuracies along the way) and rewrite it in your own words, you're fine. There are only so many ways to rephrase second hand information. --SparqMan 13:48, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Is that article this one? It was the only hit for Xendor at the Completely Unofficial Star Wars Encyclopedia, which I assume CUSWE stands for... But even that's a problem! The source it gives is Golden Age of the Sith; which, by a strange coincidence, I read only three days ago, and I know that while it did narrate a little about the schism, it didn't give any detail about Xendor, not even his name. So I am forced to conclude that it is derived from "SW Gamer: The Emperor's Pawns." Hardly an authoritative source (I think; I've never heard anything about the canonicity of SW Gamer either way). Which means I'll have to get it to check... /sigh. --Maru 16:24, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • I'd buy it if the magazine was available here in Norway... damn. --Imperialles 16:54, 20 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Date Header Thing

I like those that you put in the Portal Talk. Much easier to read and smaller to fit on the page at the top. --Riffsyphon1024 14:22, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Thanks! I modified the code from the disambiguation template to create it. --Imperialles 15:10, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I can't say enough

You never cease to amaze me, Imperialles. Cool thing you got with the list of needed articles from the comics, much like SparqMan's Holonet News page, but nonetheless interesting and useful. You do deserve this month's WOTM. --Riffsyphon1024 13:17, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Thanks! Everything for the cause, Riff. --Imp 13:26, 26 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Star Wars Empire (comics)

Hey Imp, just got my batch of comics in the mail. I actually got Empire as well as Rogue Squadron, so I'm probably going to be reading through the Rogue Squadron comics first and then try to add some articles tonight - after that I'll switch over to reading/updating some Empire. --Falmarin 20:19, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • Great! I just bought all four Empire TPBs, which covers issues 1-6 and 8-22, so I can do those myself. Did you order any individual issues? Can't get those around here... --Imp 20:25, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • I guess we're at a disadvantage because I got the same thing as you! Oh well, at least I've still got most of the complete Rogue Squadron comic set, so we're not at a total loss. I wonder if the Empire series is coming out with more TPB's (I personally like how TPB's are bound, easier to take care of). --Falmarin 20:40, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
      • Of course there'll be more TPBs in Empire, it's one of Dark Horse's bestselling series. I'll try some other comic book stores. How much did you pay? It cost me about $100, but then again, I'm in Norway... --Imp 20:51, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
        • Oh, was unaware of how popular the Empire series was (I just recently have begun getting into the comics), I got these books for 12 bucks a pop, so I payed around 50$ for these. --Falmarin 21:28, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • Some highlights you can look forward to include the story of Janek Sunber (in the Imperial Perpective), a story of an epic battle to the last man (that always gets me...), and "Alone Together" (The Heart of the Rebellion) for the bimbo-est Leia yet... --Imp 20:51, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)
    • oooo, bimbo Leia... --Falmarin 21:28, 27 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Talk header

I like your idea. I hope you don't mind me ripping it off. If you do, just let me know. --Aidje talk 19:44, 29 Jun 2005 (UTC)

  • I assure you, using my templates will only flatter me. Glad you like it! --Imp 00:19, 19 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Welcome back

Welcome back Imperialles. There is much for you to catch up on. --Riffsyphon1024 00:02, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)

  • Thanks. Indeed there is, with over 600 new articles. But mere numbers are of no concern to me. --Imp 08:46, 10 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Reply

Of course i am indefinitely blocked - banned from Wikipedia. --John-1107 22:18, 22 Jul 2005 (UTC)

  • 10-4. --Imp 09:42, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Excessive my A...

What you don't like my usage of the phrase "organic organism"? Haha, J/k. --Riffsyphon1024 09:38, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC)

  • Sorry, I'm pretty overzealous lately. :P --Imp 09:41, 31 Jul 2005 (UTC)

Toong'L

Hey, Imp. I was wondering why did you switch that back from Toong'L to Toong'l? Did you not see the article I cited for the change (http://www.holonetnews.com/47/business/13314_1.html)? Regardless, if you have a problem with it, please discuss before changing it back, or at least give your reason for changing it back. Thanks. --WhiteBoy 05:40, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

  • Sorry, didn't see that. The Ultimate Alien Anthology refers to the planet as "Toong'l", whereas this HNN article talks about the system. It seems that the planet Toong'l is in the Toong'L system. --Imp 05:47, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)
    • Ah, well, no biggy. Just wondering what was up. Figured you had a reason. :) --WhiteBoy 06:51, 4 Aug 2005 (UTC)

There must be a line drawn somewhere

Nine. That's how old (young) User:The starwars boy is. What is happening to our society? --Riffsyphon1024 16:34, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)

  • What scares me is the 87 different characters he's made... Back in the days kids had real hobbies, like sowing and fighting communists. --Imp 21:12, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)
    • Damn commies... --Riffsyphon1024 23:00, 5 Aug 2005 (UTC)
      • Nothing against kids, but we probably shouldn't allow anyone under thirteen because of legal issues. Wikicities may already have a policy like this. --Aidje talk 01:58, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)
        • I haven't looked at what all he's added yet, but in general I don't care how old he is as long as he's added good content. Which is the point of this post. :) Anyway, about the only thing WikiCities says is "if you're under 13, don't post personal information." As is the nature of wikis..."anyone can edit." We just have to watch it and clean it up if it's poor content. --WhiteBoy 02:08, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)
          • Okay, that's good; a lot of sites won't allow anyone under thirteen because they can be a legal liability (or something like that?) but I'm glad that it's okay here. I don't think it's really that big a risk. --Aidje talk 04:35, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)
        • OK, just hit his talk page, and saw that it was just fanon stuff, so obviously those should be quick deletes...no vote needed. But still no need to be mean to the kid. --WhiteBoy 02:15, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)
        • Agreed. I know I've had a few instances of rudeness towards some users, but it's clear that users like him, KFann II, Walabio require a certain guidance to keep fanon and hyperbole from the pages. Their enthusiasm is nice, but we need to be careful how we handle all users. --SparqMan 04:09, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Khoonda

Thanks for the edit, can you please explain me a difference between backwater and retarded? :) In Russian, one word is used for both. Also, why did you change [[Darth Malak]] to [[Malak|Darth Malak]]? --Sikon 10:34, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

  • Backwater would be "far away from the Galactic civilzation", i.e. a farmer planet. Retarded means "mentally challenged" :P I did that Malak thing because "Darth Malak" redirects to the article "Malak". It decreases loading time, since it doesn't make the user go through an extra page to get to the main article. --Imp 10:38, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Community Portal archives

Pardon my asking, but what is this 'rearchiving' you're doing? – Aidje talk 20:01, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

  • Compulsive edits. Archive1 had 25 headers, I therefore made sure the other archives had 25 headers as well, to keep things uniform. --Imp 20:16, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)
    • lol. I wonder how many of us on here are obsessive-compulsive. --Aidje talk 20:23, 6 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Sorry for deleting the "Planet summaries" section. I planned to archive it, but perhaps I should have edited the archive page first. --Sikon 11:37, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

  • Heh, no problem. :) --Imp 11:38, 14 Aug 2005 (UTC)

My own user Profile

Is there any way to get the boxes, "Villians" and "Planets of Star Wars" in my profile even? Its just the 2nd box is a bit smaller than the 1st. --SGCommand 15:58, 1 September 2005 (UTC)

  • Just copy the code and play around, that's what I did. :) --Imp 17:14, 18 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Norsk Wookieepedia

Jeg synes, det er en god ide med en norsk version af Wookieepedia. --KEJ 09:01, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)

  • Åja, dog et enormt enmannsforetak, desverre. --Imp 15:41, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)
    • Desværre kan jeg ikke skrive norsk, ellers ville jeg gerne have hjulpet til --KEJ 09:58, 12 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Wookieepedia category

It's actually Category:Star Wars Wiki. --WhiteBoy 00:52, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  • Not for long... --Imp 00:53, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)
    • LOL...break a leg, man. I've thought about it myself, but the task was just too big for me to mess with. Way too many articles to convert.  :) --WhiteBoy 00:57, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)
      • Actually, it's not that many. I'll jump in and help. --WhiteBoy 01:03, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Sources - title only

Hiya Imp. This is regarding your minor edit on the Canny Mandary Bertar page. Just thought I'd let you know that in your absence it was decided to only provide titles, without the author/publisher/date info, in the Sources sections. Check out the Wookieepedia:Layout Guide. Cheers! --Azizlight 11:18, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  • Sweet mother of Jesus, I have alot to fix now. --Imp 11:19, 18 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Congrats on adminship

Congrats, man! --WhiteBoy 23:10, 28 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  • Congrats Imp! --Azizlight 23:12, 28 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  • Congratulations on the promotion. :-) --jSarek 08:51, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  • Yes, congrats Imp. Sorry to sound so generic. ;) --Riffsyphon1024 08:55, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)
  • Generic "thanks, guys" reply! No, really, I appreciate it alot. --Imp 10:19, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Alcohol related head injury?

In the hospital due to an alcohol-related head injuty? How Scandinavian :-P Well, "god bedring" --KEJ 13:31, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)

  • Ah yes, luckily I have my trusty laptop here! Thanks for your concern :) --Imp 13:33, 29 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Unlock wrongly locked as fanon

  • I hope I catch you online. I need an admin to unlock Ro-roo that was moved to list of fanon creations by error. I created an article in Ro-roo/Temp to replace the redirect. And hope you recover soon. --Thinortolan 09:56, 30 Dec 2005 (UTC)
    • Bah, Riff beat me to it... --Imp 10:20, 30 Dec 2005 (UTC)
      • How rude, Riff :) thank you both for a fast action --Thinortolan 10:37, 30 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Variforms

Imp, may I ask why those two articles on variform cattle and variform beans were deleted. They appeared to have valid sources, didn't they? --Riffsyphon1024 16:39, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)

  • A consensus was reached on the Wookieepedia:Votes for deletion/Variform cattle page to delete 'em both. Check it out for the details surrounding its VFD nomination --Imp 16:42, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)
    • I see now. Variform in itself only means assorted. Funny that I never noticed those Vfds. --Riffsyphon1024 16:47, 1 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Rorworr

  • Why did you remove the pic of Rorworr if you can't replace it with a better one? He's only seen as a corpse. --JustinGann 00:58, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)
    • I could barely see that it was supposed to be a Wookiee... :P Don't worry, I've placed finding a replacement on my to-do list. --Imp 01:07, 2 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Featured article

I didn't want to make a big issue of it on the WP:FA, but I'm curious what else the Warren Fu article needs to be FA material. I know that just because it's no longer a stub doesn't automatically make it FA material, but I think it's a pretty thoroughly done article. Is it too short? If so, what else is needed? Do you think we should not feature artist articles? Thanks for your input. WhiteBoy 19:08, 4 Jan 2006 (UTC)

  • The article is good, but in comparison to previous FAs it doesn't quite cut it yet. With a little determination we can make it twice as long, and I'd be delighted to work with you on making it featurable! --Imp 16:33, 6 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Junichiro Kodama

SWG character, remove if desired. --Juniciro 21:50, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)

  • Yes, but did you create him? --Imp 21:56, 8 Jan 2006 (UTC)
  • Evidently, you did. I was forced to remove it, as this wiki is for canon information only. Please refrain from adding fan-made characters in the future. --Imp 22:35, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Remoh

Hello, I'd like you to consider banning Remoh. He vandalized my page and then tried to edit a conversation on my user talk page (comments from AdmThrawn). I don't know if this will end up as an isolated incident but something to at least keep an eye on.--DannyBoy7783 03:53, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)

  • At the very least, he's walking on thin ice. --AdmThrawn 03:54, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
    • I don't even know if banning is the proper action here. I'm more or less just bringing it to an admin's attention.--DannyBoy7783 03:56, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
      • He removed content from my talk page again.--DannyBoy7783 04:19, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)
  • Alright, I've looked into it. I'm going to give him a 24-hour warning ban, seeing as he continued to vandalize even after you told him repeatedly to stop. If he continues doing this after his ban, there will be more dire consequences. --Imp 15:38, 14 Jan 2006 (UTC)

IfDs

Just a reminder to clean out the entries from Wookieepedia:Images and media for deletion once you've deleted them .  :) WhiteBoy 06:43, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Re: The Wildlife of Star Wars: A Field Guide

Just looked through the Coruscant entry pages in the Field Guide, as well as the introduction, and I couldn't find anything on the Galactic Zoo, only the Coruscant Holographic Zoo for Extinct and Exotic Species. It may be mentioned on one of the other planets pages, but I doubt it as it's not mentioned in the index. I can have a look though if you like. -Jaymach Ral'Tir 15:02, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)

  • Thanks, mate! Naw, no need to check the other planets, this fanon places it on Coruscant. Now if you'll excuse me, I have deletin' to do... --Imp 15:03, 17 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Tense

Hey man! Thanks for the tip! But in what article didn't I use tense? =p --Stake black 15:42, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Just your expansion of Krish. No biggie, just thought I'd let you know! :) --Imp 15:45, 18 January 2006 (UTC)

A Wookiee needs to be moved

Hey! I noticed you moved Ralrra to Ralrracheen, could you do the same with Raaba and move her to Raabakyysh? Thanks :) -- 62.237.98.130 14:07, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Done, Mr. Bossman! :) Oh, and do consider signing up, we're always looking for good contributors. --Imp 14:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I sure am considering. And it's Ms. Bossman by the way ;) -- 62.237.98.130 14:51, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Hi, just wanted to advertise I've now signed up. How great is that *lol* --Tinwe 14:48, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Ah, welcome, and happy contributing! ;) --Imp 14:56, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Ulic Qel-Droma

Hey Imp. I've improved the Ulic Qel-Droma article per your objections, and I'd just like you to rereview it so we can get its path towards featureddom moving along. --MarcK [talk] 23:11, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Sure thing, expect a reply within the next five minutes :) --Imp 23:14, 19 January 2006 (UTC)

Star Destroyer vs. Star Dreadnought

Just wondeirng if there was any point continuing the discussion here after your lock. Thanks! --McEwok 03:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, it certainly seems like the debate is still raging... so I'll keep it protected for now. --Imp 14:36, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
    • You can remove it now, since the title is going back to Sovereign-class Star Destroyer. VT-16 12:58, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Onomatopoeia

What's wrong with an onomatopoeia? Not only is there precedent in SW (the neek from TOTJ), this is a very common practice with real animals on Earth (ie, killdeer, whip-poor-will, bobolink, etc.) Regardless, I renamed all those articles, so PLEASE take off the VFD tags! --JustinGann 12:03, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, I think I know what Imp doesn't like - namely, that those onomatopoeia are not the canonical names of the creatures but rather fan assumptions. That's how I understood it anyway. --KEJ 12:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
  • KEJ sums it up pretty well. And remember, the VFD is not a personal insult :P --Imp 13:18, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
    • I know, but I renamed the articles more generically, so can you take off the VFD tags? They are just so hideous:( JustinGann 20:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Sorry mate, when the VFD has started it cannot be stopped. Though I can guarantee they'll survive. Just give it 6 days and the tags will be gone. --Imp 21:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Kyp Astar

Thanks for the edits to Kyp Astar. first time for me contributing...just giving it a try. --68.34.64.3 02:43, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

  • No problem. Have you considered registering, by the way? --Imp 16:36, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

SW Character Template

Hey...I noticed that you deleted the SW Character template and was wandering if there was any way to undo this? I've come across several character pages (Maw being one of them) that do in fact use the template and, though they should be using the simple {{character}} template, it would be best to restore the SW Character template while we transfer them over. -Jaymach Ral'Tir 18:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • The reason I deleted it was because I replaced the template with {{character}} using the What links here page. Having cleared that, I believed the old template to be unused. I'll restore the template, as it obviously didn't catch 'em all. --Imp 18:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Beilert Valance affiliation

I agree that bounty hunter is not an affiliation, but to have only Galactic Empire (because of his prior line of work) in the box is misleading. The whole "affiliation" thing is trouble in the making. --SparqMan 18:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

  • True, true. Shouldn't that whole thing be replaced with an "occupation" bar, anyway? --Imp 18:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

A question

Hi. I was wondering if there is a way to lock an article so no one can edit it? Because my annoying friend keeps editing my User Page and I was wondering if there is a way to do this. Thanx --Roswell 17:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Yes, there is. But if I lock your userpage, you will be unable to edit it as well. --Imp 18:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
  • I want to be able to edit my User Page, so I guess you shouldn't block it. Thanks for the help though =D --Roswell 23:26, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Junction City cantina

Why are you changing 1 ABY to 1 BBY? All other sources indicate it occurs in 1 ABY. And why not change the actual text if you are going to? --Eyrezer 22:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Oh, crap, I was convinced it said "0 ABY", which redirects to 0 BBY. Sorry. :P --Imp 22:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
    • No problem, but I was very confused when you changed it back the second time :) Eyrezer 22:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Jedi Armor

Hey, I just want to praise your initiative to upload a much better image of the Jedi Armor. Way to go! Heja Norge! :-P KEJ 13:45, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Hehe, amazing how useful these artist's websites are... --Imp 13:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Reporting People

Is there a less severe way of bringing up someone you think might be trouble than the Vandalism in Progress page? Sometimes I see people that I think just need a bit of a talking to, but I don't know where I would mention such a thing if not there. CooperTFN 20:20, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, you can always tell me. I check the wiki every hour or so. :) --Imp 21:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
    • There is a harassment in progress page or something to that affect. Aziz made it I believe.--DannyBoy7783 23:25, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Also the person u blocked for vandlising WIndu, he vandulised Yoda, wat a goon. --Jedi Dude 21:32, 12 February 2006

Complaints

I have a complaint --69.161.102.225 01:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Feel free to elaborate. --Imp 01:50, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Thank you. i was blocked last week for "repeated fanon". what is that?. --69.161.102.225 22:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
      • That means you added fan-made creations, aka "fanon" to the wiki. --Imp 12:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
      • Wanna know something else? I was banned for a week for typing the last message! discousions are not "repeated fanon"!Know what else? I was Auto blocked by you for that reason! --Fireball93 02:05, 3 February 2006
        • Yeah, that's the automated blocking system. --Imp 20:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
        • Yeah I assumed so.But why did it attack ME? --Fireball93 22:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
        • Quite simply because even though you were logged in under a username, your IP address was still blocked. --Imp 22:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
        • And also you threatened me with blocking on Jan 22 for recreating the nonexistent Yalex,but your autoblock was in effect the day before till thursday. i.e. I didn't do it! --Fireball93 03:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
        • Well, someone on your IP did... --Imp 03:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
          • You Mean I was Hacked?! --Fireball93 17:56, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
            • Well? --Fireball93 00:06, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
              • Yes. Someone obviously hacked your computer and added fanon to Wookieepedia to make you look bad. --Imp 18:56, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
                • But why would they do that!?!? Fireball93 00:27, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
                  • Imp, you are like a one man comedy show :) --DannyBoy7783 00:31, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
                    • What does he mean Imp? --Fireball93 00:45, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

Remoh (again)

Hello, Remoh has vandalized my page again. If you check my user page's history you will notice that user 207.166.7.208 removed my images section and replaced it with this text: remoh said stop it * cut it out! I don't know if this is actually Remoh or not but it was done on his behalf. I would like him permanently banned please as well as the IP address that was used. I have little patience for children, especially those who like to vandalize. Thanks for your help in this matter Imp. Sorry to have to bother you with it though... --DannyBoy7783 19:56, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

  • I banned the anon for 2 weeks, seeing as I can't know for sure if its Remoh or not, and he only vandalized one page after all. If Remoh or this anon try to pull this again, I'll make sure they don't have access to the wiki for a very long time. --Imp 20:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
    • Fair enough. I'm sure he will pull something again, however. Thanks.--DannyBoy7783 20:20, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
      • I was just thinking, can you compare Remoh's IP address to the anon? Couldn't that edit simply have been done by Remoh if he wasn't signed in? If you already thought of that then nevermind.--DannyBoy7783 21:41, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
        • Nevermind, this has already been done by Darth Culator. You can see the discussion at Remoh's talk page. Interestingly, both IP's are apparently from Sacramento... --DannyBoy7783 00:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
          • Alright, sudden death mode is on. --Imp 12:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
            • Ah, memories...The fuss a simple computer glitch can make...Dr.Kermit 04:08, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

Doctoryoda

Uploading a bunch of poorly named and unnecessary images. I tried to talk to him after he started with the Order 66 page, then he moved on to Yoda, and...well, take a look. CooperTFN 21:02, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

  • Sorry I couldn't respond earlier, it's been a busy weekend for me. I see StarNeptune has handled this. --Imp 07:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Mando'a

I removed my last complaint, since StarNeptune took care of it. Anyway, Xilentshadow900 has repeatedly attempted to censor the F-word from the Mando'a page. We had an extensive discussion about it on the talk page, which he didn't take part in, and decided to leave it in because it's the most accurate translation possible. On top of which, the page is undergoing a total conversion into OOU since it's a work in progress and requires OUO disclaimers and such. Nevertheless, he's continued to edit the list over and over (causing the F-word to appear in the page history, I should add, about a hundred times more than it was in the article to begin with), and I don't imagine he'll stop after the rewrite. CooperTFN 01:54, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

  • It seems he's stopped, but I left him a note on his talk page. --Imp 07:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

VFD: Bly1993

Okay... sorry about the VFD sockpuppet incident. I was a bit mad at something at the moment and wasn't thinking. I also turned my vote from keep to delete. --Lt. 1993 01:45, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

  • I'll let it slide for now, everybody makes mistakes, and you do contribute fairly well to the wiki. --Imp 07:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Useful resources

I just had to share them. I learned about SWComics.com from a discussion here on Wookieepedia some time ago, but the rest were just things I stumbled on during Google searches. Combining the hungryewok.swcomics.com text files with a Win32 version of GNU grep makes it easy to find appearances, and Korpil's index plus the Rancorfiles collection of out-of-print RPG books makes it a snap to find some of the earliest data on some topics. I just wish I could understand Russian so I could figure out when those sites are having server problems. —Darth Culator (talk) 21:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

  • These things make my job a lot easier, although some of them make me feel dirty :P Thanks for sharing! --Imp 03:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Adminship

  • I've actually been thinking about putting in a request, but I'm afraid some will see me as too confrontational (though I've been working on my attitude, really). I really would love a revert button and a ban-stick, though. I'll finish up the project I'm currently working on offline before I decide whether or not to go for it. —Darth Culator (talk) 03:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I think you should. You helped to solve a lot of problems --Fireball93 03:24, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I can't say I've ever seen this "attitude problem" of yours... Anyway, I hope you decide to apply. --Imp 03:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Fanwank

I noticed that you use this word often, especially in regards of the Duel on Coruscant article. What do you mean by that? I know a lot of Internet slang, but this is still new for me. How would you describe this word for a non-native English speaker? --TopAce 19:51, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

  • I actually don't use that term correctly—at least not according to the Wikipedia article on fanwank. I use it about fanon relating to certain things, mostly about Sith, Mandalorians and Jedi, that is extremely easily spotted. I also use it when people try to make it seem as if the events in the movies were far more important than all other events in the EU. --Imp 19:58, 7 February 2006 (UTC)

All Jedi List

I didnt know you guys already had a page like that. I should of done some research before I did that. How do I delete the page? --Mas1@ 20:29, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

  • No worries, mate. The wiki can be confusing at times, especially to newcomers. I deleted the page for you. :) --Imp 20:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Blocked

  • Why was i blocked by you again? StarNeptune keeps unblocking me but everytime i try to edit something it keeps coming up that i'm blocked again. This time it says i'm blocked for vandalism. --DarkShroud 22:59, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Are other people using your computer? Perhaps the IP address has been used anonymously by other people who have also been blocked. For that matter, you seem to have no problem editing the admin's talk pages: are you sure you're actually blocked? --— Silly Dan 01:47, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
      • I noticed that same thing every time he posts here (that he CAN post here)... --DannyBoy7783 02:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
      • I don't know. All i tried to do was fix some spelling errors on Saesee Tiin's bio and it came up i was blocked by Imp. for vandalism. And i haven't even written anything recently because i was doing my user page. --DarkShroud 02:34, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Weird. Try logging out, clearing your cache, and logging back in. I have no idea if that would work or not, but it can't hurt. --— Silly Dan 02:36, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
        • I'll try it. --DarkShroud 02:40, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
          • I think it worked. Thanks. --209.74.44.37 15:16, 9 February 2006
  • I was blocked for vandalism again. If it was that Darth Danny 12345 thing, then he should be blocked too. He wrote disgusting and rude things on my userpage. --DarkShroud 23:09, 22 February (UTC)
    • Anyone out there? --DarkShroud 22:33, 23 February 2006 (UTC)
      • I really have no idea. Try talking to whoever blocked you. --Imp 18:49, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Helpfulness

How can I be helpful without writing articles? --General Antilles 23:24, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Adding quality pictures, sourcing articles, making sure categories are correct, proofreading, formatting articles to fit the wookieepedia style just to name a few. --DannyBoy7783 02:08, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
  • You can find a whole list of things to do at Wookieepedia:Things to do. --jSarek 08:14, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Question

What is the difference between appearances and sources? --General Antilles 21:39, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Appearances are films, novels, comics, cartoons and computer games, whereas sources are generally reference books, roleplaying books and Databank entries. --Imp 22:20, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
    • To put it more simply: Sources are where you get your information from. Appearances are just that: where the character has appeared. There is obviously a great deal of overlap because often times the appearances are also sources. --DannyBoy7783 00:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
      • In which case, the item is listed only under "Appearances." --—Darth Culator (talk) 00:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

New jedi council

Are you in a jedi council.like your very own.if not you should tell everyone on wookei pedia to join in on the council.I think it wold be a very good idea to make our own council within wookiepedia.Do you agree? --Mas1@ 02:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

  • As poorly executed his question was, the idea of making the admins into a "jedi council" is fairly amusing. I say go for it. --DannyBoy7783 03:07, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
    • Do we as the masses get to execute Order 66 when we feel we don't want them anymore? :) -Jaymach Ral'Tir 03:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Are you guys up for it? Hey Dannyboy7783 what kind of cyborg would you like to be? --Mas1@ 04:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Can you do me a favor?

Can you protect my page from Dannyboy? I think I got him mad and I don't wan't him to vandalize my page. --Fireball93 03:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Honestly, Imp, I have no idea what's going on. He made a comnment at remoh's page and I responded but it is completely nonsensical and I have no clue what Fireball is going on about but I think you and I both know I would never vandalize someone's page considering how outspoken I am against it...though I really don't think this even warrant a response/defense from me. --DannyBoy7783 04:57, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
    • No worries, Danny. Fireball is needlessly paranoid. --Imp 18:44, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Yes. It is a curse.And sorry dannyboy.lets just let bygones be bygones OK? --Fireball93 00:25, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

One-Arm

Why did you move it back? This should show up in the article title results. It would be easier to find. The title "One-Arm" can be confusing and is that even canon or did someone just make it up to give her a name now? --DannyBoy7783 18:02, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Because parantheses are only used in cases where disambiguation is needed. Article titles are about accuracy, not search results. --Imp 18:09, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
    • In that case, I think the information should just be included in the wampa article. Is that acceptable?--DannyBoy7783 18:12, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
      • Well, seeing as this wampa has its own name and a reasonable amount of information is available for it, it should probably have its own article. --Imp 18:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
        • I'm pretty sure that name was made up. The discussion page mentions problems with the name and then it was changed to this. Do you know if it is canon?--DannyBoy7783 18:17, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
          • It's from the trading card game, apparently. jSarek is pretty trustworthy, so I don't think he was making it up. --Imp 18:29, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
            • Ok, sounds good then. I always forget about the CCG. --DannyBoy7783 19:18, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
              • "Pretty trustworthy"? Sheesh. What do I have to do to become completely, unquestionably, infallibly trustworthy? ;-) Seriously, yes, this card exists. Decipher unfortunately doesn't have all of their old SWCCG cards still up online, but you can still see One-Arm's place in the Special Edition Limited Dark Side card list. --jSarek 21:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, maybe I do need a banstick.

Question 2

If something is not canon shouldn't it technically not be included in Wiki? --70.246.235.115 17:17, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

  • We have articles on everything licensed by Lucas. Non-canon subjects are tagged as such. --Imp 17:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
  • If they are non-canon, that is not licensed by LFL, can we delete them?
    • I'll assume you're referring to the ambiguously canon material I've been adding. I'd just like to point out that I did discuss whether or not it should be allowed on the Wookieepedia with several of the admins before I added it, and it was agreed that it was allowed to be added as long as I added the correct {{ambig}} tags. --Jaymach Ral'Tir 01:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Well don't assume. I'm referring to stuff from this magazine called Challenge 65, and I think there's another one.Challenge 43. I don't think Gammorean nuns is a part of canon, or so help me, I'm going to make my first claim. --70.255.145.60 02:02, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
  • That is indeed the stuff I have added. It's already been discussed by the admins and agreed that it could be added with ambig tags. You may want to look at this page, and you'll see just how many articles there are. It's a lot more than just 2 magazines. Also, take a look at this page to see how many articles have already been added. :) --Jaymach Ral'Tir 08:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
  • I found one that isn't on there Electric Judgement. I nominate this article for deletion or an ambiguous canon label. I think this was something that was made up by the producers of the game, without thinking about EU continuity. Having Force lightning the same color as the Jedi's lightsaber is pretty pathetic. I'm pretty sure this was just made for game mechanics or someone made a mistake. --70.255.145.60 06:54, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

204.167.116.4

Where did I make a Canon error? And, what I added to the New Jedi Order reactions page was going to be backed up later, and it is *true* that YJK fans absolutely hated NJO. So, can I have a clarification *where* I made an canon error? --204.167.116.4 18:19, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

  • "and it is *true* that YJK fans absolutely hated NJO" you can't speak for all the fans so I would suggest you shy away from generalizations like that. --DannyBoy7783 18:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
    • I'm talking about the starship speeds you altered. Oh, and what Danny said. --Imp 18:35, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
      • The NJO revert was for not maintaining a neutral point of view, and not necessarily for canon errors. You made conclusions about the 'failure' of the series and promoted a petition to remove it from canon. --Yrfeloran 18:55, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

A request fulfilled, sort of

Dark Jedi

hey, I want to make an article on the dark jedi nemesis.Can you tell me how to make this article?well if your not sure that there is a dark jedi named nemesis go to luukesaber.comthen go to anatomy on the left side.Go through all the letters.Right under darth maul is another zabrakian who looks like maul with blue skin.I think that this can expand on the zabraks part. --Mas1@ 01:12, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Past tense

I've noticed that many of the articles are written in the past-tens form instead of current. And when I go to correct these mistake's, others change them back to the past-tens form. Is there a language/translation problem? --151.185.60.250 18:32, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

  • All in-universe articles are written in past tesne as established in the Manual of Style. Please stop changing articles to present tense. --Imp 18:34, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
    • My appolges I didn't read the Manual of Style. Please forgive me. I am new and I will read over the rules, now that I know what they are, and follow them. --Jacen Solo Jedi Master 18:44, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Noteable figures

Hi. I was just wondering why you removed the Noteable figures section from the Jedi Civil War article... That section exists in virtually ever major war article. Were you planning on deleting it from the Great Hyperspace War, Mandalorian Wars, Great Sith War, and Galactic Civil War as well? Those sections, while somewhat redundant, serve as a navigational aid. --Sentry 21:26, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Heh, I guess you're right. I'll just weed out the not-so-noteable ones. --Imp 21:29, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Newbie questions

Hey, I have a couple questions:

  1. If something only appears in one book, do you want duplicate sections for references and appearences, or just either/or?
  2. For sources, do you prefer the more "formal" way of citing, or do you just wikilink to the book/game/movie?

Thanks for the help. --Squall Deckiller 01:02, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Hey, Dec, and welcome to Wookieepedia! :) If a subject is only mentioned/referenced in an appearance, add a {{mo}} template next to it, and put it under the "Appearances" header. Sources are cited with wikilinks, exactly like appearances. I think you'll find the Layout Guide a useful read (it contains definitions of "appearance" and "source", for instance). --Imp 01:10, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

Hello!

I am bringing to your attention the article on the Kel Dor, which I have edited several times. At first I changed the text to present tense, but I wasn't aware of the manual of style, so I have since changed the text back to past tense. My apologies for any inconvenience. However, I have to ask; why is the article continually reverted? Along with tense correction, I have edited the text to, what I feel is, a better standard of english, and expanded upon several parts of the article which were simply repetitive. --84.13.245.13 15:05, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

  • I guess the fact that you changed the tense made me think you did naught but that. I apologize for that. :) --Imp 15:57, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
    • Ah, okay, I see. My thanks --Jedi Xian 01:48, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

Jaden

Why did you remove the image for Jaden's page? I'm just curious because you didn't respond in the discussion about it on the talk page. --DannyBoy7783 05:48, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Ditto. I'm curious as to what made it unsuitable for the article. --SM-716 08:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
    • First of all, it hints at a male gender. Secondly, it doesn't add to the article at all. It's just a picture of some snowtroopers and a some fellow with a lightsaber. --Imp 17:30, 12 March 2006 (UTC)
      • 1) The New Essential Chronology hints at a male gender much more overtly than the mostly ambiguous image (which could be interpreted as a female in bulky winter clothing), and the article's info box flat-out states it. 2) It gives as much explicitly canonical information about Jaden's appearance without revealing any of the details which have yet to be determined (note the possibly human/possibly alien hands are hidden). 3) You don't think an article of moderate size such as Jaden's looks a little bare without a leading image?

        Your input would be greatly appreciated on Jaden's talk page. SM-716 21:21, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Terrible secret of space

Those were locked and redirected because he's on AOL and he's been making those for the past 24 hours, and even though one IP of his is banned, he will remake them on another IP like he has done. Deleting them is just going to cause him to remake them yet again. --StarNeptune 01:50, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

  • Yeah, and we'll keep deleting it. The oh so terrible space secret is in no way fanon, and certainly not notable. --Imp 06:30, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Help!!

Hey, it's Darth Cow again. I for quite a long time have been arguing with Jack Nebulax about a spoiler warning. This would be on Sev's page. I noticed that it gives away the ending for the game Star Wars: Republic Commando, so I put a spoiler warning on it. He reverted it. I put it back some time later. He reverted it. I (as of 8:14, 3-14-06) put the spoiler warning back on, but he might have changed it back already. Please tell me if there should be a spoiler warning or not, and warn him not to change it back if you find there should be one. Thanks! --DarthCow--Talk| Email

  • There is no need for a spoiler warning. The game is over a year old now.--DannyBoy7783 09:03, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I agree with Darth Cow, the game is say 1 year old. But so are many of the books, there IS need for a spoiler! Ruffles 09:35, 15 March 2006 (UTC)
  • I don't think we need ANY spoiler warnings, so putting one up for a product that's over a year old is just silly. —Darth Culator (talk) 13:46, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

I've made a comment. But just a general (non-inflammatory, completely civil) question about adminship at Wookieepedia: Is there no rule that administrators are not allowed to protect pages over which they are involved in an edit dispute? --SavageBob 19:41, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

  • No, certainly not. There is a Three-revert rule, however, which I am forced to follow. Let's continue this discussion over at the article's talk page. --Imp 19:46, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
    • According to the Wikipedia guidelines on page protection, "Admins must not protect pages they are actively engaged in editing, except in the case of simple vandalism." What I was doing was not vandalism. Does Wookieepedia have a different policy on page protection? You are right about the 3RR, but we hadn't reached that point yet. And then the proper procedure would have been to block me, not protect the page. I'm not trying to be an ass here, but I am trying to clarify where Wookieepedia policy differs from Wikipedia policy. — SavageBob 19:55, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
      • For the 3RR, the one causing the damage doesn't always get blocked. The page could just simply be locked instead without blocking anyone. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 19:56, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
        • Yeah, I think I've seen that happen before. But typically, it's a non-involved admin who makes a move like that to force two warring users to discuss the matter. — SavageBob 19:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
          • Simply compare Wikipedia's and Wookieepedia's individual 3RR pages to see the differences. I'm not protecting the page from a "revert war" that I'm participating in because I want to "win" it. I'm doing it so we can discuss the changes you wish to implement in a more adult manner than simply reverting. --Imp 20:02, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
            • I'm still curious about Wookieepedia's admin requirements compared to Wikipedia's. I can't find any page that even discusses adminship on Wookieepedia. I know that I would find myself under sanction on Wikipedia if I used my admin powers to protect a page over which I was disputing. This is not to impugn your actions, but there are rogue admins out there, hence the checks and balances about not allowing page protects of pages with which one is inolved. — SavageBob 20:31, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
