Proper procedure

If you have a valid reason for hat and shirt being deleted, then you can use the proper Trash Compactor process to nominate them for deletion. You don't just slap a "Delete" tag on established articles that have been present on Wookieepedia for some time. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 16:46, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Blocked

Since you were unable accept the outcome of the vote that you yourself started, and tried to disrupt the vote with anonymous sockpuppets (yes, we can tell), you have been blocked from editing for a month. That's being merciful. Don't push your luck when you come back. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 06:04, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Hudiss/ Hurdiss

Please stop redirecting these articles (although I have temporarily protected them for a day so you can't). If the article is at the wrong name then it has to be moved to retain the current edit history. Also, it is a current good article, which means that it has to be fact-checked to ensure it is correct, and several other articles and pages have to be moved/changed to fall into line with the new name. Also, please sign all comments on user talk pages with four tildes like so: ~~~~. Thank you for your cooperation. - Cavalier OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 23:32, November 9, 2011 (UTC)

Mando alphabet

Please note that In-universe Wookieepedia articles are written in past tense. In addition, is Mandalorian Alphabet correct capitalization or should the page be moved to Mandalorian alphabet? 1358 (Talk) 15:32, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

As an aside

I do agree with you that Culator's reply was on the harsh side of snark, and on IRC, I had pointed it out to him. What he was saying about Kaspersky, however, was legit, as my brother used it before and had some issues with it, in that it was flagging benign things as false-positives. However, I do agree that Culator could have used a bit more tact and carefully-selected wording with his reply. I don't think he meant for it to be an attack on you as a person, but if I saw that same message directed at me, I would come to the same conclusion. He may have been in a bad mood at the time and let slip some attitude. If this becomes a problem, however, with anyone, speak up and we'll see if we can work something out. :) Trak Nar Ramble on 05:10, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

OOU categories

Its called common sense. But, for a lengthier argument, its also an erroneous category. The rootleaf stew mentioned in, I presume, The Star Wars Cookbook: Wookiee Cookies and Other Galactic Recipes, cannot be the same IU rootleaf stew unless you are contending that ingredients used to make the stew in the GFFA are available on Earth. Therefore, the addition of it to a category is false. Mention could and should be made of a rootleaf stew recipe existing on Earth in the BTS, but that's about it. - Cavalier OneFarStar(Squadron channel) 13:51, August 31, 2012 (UTC)

Ewoks

Thanks for your recent contributions regarding Ewoks! However, please note that Unidentified Wookiee-hugging Ewok and Unidentified tan-colored Ewok have been marked for deletion, as each article is nothing more than an image. Feel free to make them into actual articles and then remove {{Delete}} from the top. Also, check out this edit I made to get an idea of the kind of speculation we try to avoid on Wookieepedia. Cheers. Menkooroo (talk) 12:16, September 9, 2012 (UTC)

  • Also, please do not revert speculative edits back into the article. They may have been good faith edits, but have been removed because they are speculation based on your own point of view. Please read more about this site's policy on attribution and point of view. We appreciate the good edits that you have made, but we are merely trying to keep the high standard of this wiki preserved by removing edits that lower that standard. Thank you for your cooperation and your enthusiasm in editing on the Wookieepedia. —GethralkinHyperwave 01:14, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Your comment

Please see Wookieepedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users.

Warning

Dialog-error

User warning: Three-Revert Rule.

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.

In reference to this discussion, you are continuously reverting properly reverted edits. Whether made in good faith or not, their removal was based on this site's attribution policy concerning Original Research. It is your own opinion what stuffed toy resembles what particular wokling and is not based on any sourced information from either Lucasfilm, Ltd. or Kenner. —GethralkinHyperwave 16:35, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Removing Delete templates

Please do not remove {{Delete}} templates as you have done here. Once added, valid reasons for keeping the article must be addressed either here or on the article's Talk Page. Only administrators are responsible for removing either the article in question or the Deletion template based on the valid reasons for keeping or removing it. Thank you for your cooperation. —GethralkinHyperwave 16:58, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

  • Also remember to place the {{Holdon}} template on the page, so the administrator will know to check the talk page. NaruHina Talk Anakinsolo 17:03, September 11, 2012 (UTC)
    • Actually, I have a caveat for you. Since you yourself did not create this page, you can edit it with what is needed to prevent deletion (i.e. notable material that is supported by cited sources). Afterward, you can remove the template yourself. However, do not just remove templates without making the necessary changes to meet the test of notability. This is a different case than articles where you are restricted from removing the template at all, ergo ones you created yourself. —GethralkinHyperwave 17:58, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Images based on real people

Please cite sources for any images that you categorize as being likenesses of real people. Everything we edit or create needs a source. —GethralkinHyperwave 05:22, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Ewoks

I would recommend talking with Gethralkin, who originally placed the delete tag on the pages. In general, there's a very fine line for notability of unidentified characters, so it's usually best to pursue community discussion to see what deserves an article and what doesn't. CC7567 (talk) 23:24, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Personally, I find absolutely nothing wrong with unidentified characters. I've written more than a few myself, mainly because I had to account for a number of unidentified Gands. None of them had any speaking lines and only a few of them had images, but I still needed to account for them just to get Gand to FA status. If you were trying to get Ewok to FA status, I'd say go for it. And no doubt there would be a reviewer who would tell you to account for every single unidentified Ewok. But, for unidentified individuals in general, it helps if they have a quote, or they played a role in a story. That's a general rule of thumb that many follow in terms of writing unidentified individual articles. And I even ran the articles I deleted by other admins and they agreed that those Ewoks should go. Otherwise, I would have left them be.

There was one Ewok, though, that caught my attention. That one with the "chicken carcass" on his head. Upon closer inspection... that was a mammalian skull, worn upside-down, so that the jaw was to the back and the eye sockets were in front. When creating unidentified articles and basing them on a distinguishing trait, you should take care to make sure that what you are describing is indeed what that trait is. If at first glance it looks like a fried chicken... take a moment and look closer. It may not be a fried chicken. :P

Though, if you feel that Gethralkin is conducting a crusade against your articles, it would be best if you brought this issue up with him. There's not much that the admins can do about it right now, as it is an issue between yourself and Gethralkin. If the issue gets out of hand, we can step in. But at this point, it seems like that it's more a misunderstanding. Also, as CC7567 said, if you want to see what is notable and what is not... start a community discussion. But a general rule of thumb that most people follow is this: If that character has a quote, they're notable. If they did something unique and worth mentioning, they're notable. If they affected the outcome of a story, they're notable. Otherwise, unless you are trying to round out an FA, it's best to just let them stay in the background. Trak Nar Ramble on 03:06, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

  • Thank you for finally addressing me, Jart. I have tried to engage you to help you understand what Trak has expressed above. It isn't about not having the names. "Unidentified" is proper labeling for characters where the names are not known. However, you have not been listening to the advice of me and others to ask you to provide proof of labeling and description based on your opinion and not supported by any statement made by LFL or Kenner (in relation to the similarities you claim that the stuffed Woklings have with those in the film). Additionally, composing one-sentence descriptions using vague language and calling it an article is rather shoddy. If you put more effort into quality and not into quantity (making multiple such pages) then you would be fantastic. —GethralkinHyperwave 06:35, September 13, 2012 (UTC)
    • Also, I have addressed the chicken-headed and sick-looking Ewok titles elsewhere, but I will highlight that here, as well. Trak's statement about the carcass being mammalian aside, even if it wasn't mammalian, how would you have known it was a chicken and not some other bird? And how do you know what a sick-looking Ewok looks like? The same kind of thing was attempted for an article titled "Ugly-looking Ewok." Ugly to whom? Those are subjective terms that have no place in an article unless official canon describes them as such. —GethralkinHyperwave 06:40, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Clear templates

Please do not add nonsense to Wookieepedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, use the Jundland Wastes sandbox. Thank you. Clear templates are not used for that and vandalize the article when used like that. Please do any experimenting in the Sandbox. Thanks. —GethralkinHyperwave 07:16, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Mosep Binneed poor image

The {{Imagequality}} template that you put in the Mosep Binneed article is really supposed to be placed in the image that is poor quality. I have removed it from the article, but I do not know which image you believe is poor quality so you will have to place it yourself. Just click on the image and then click edit. The template then can be placed below the image's parameters code (after the double braces at the bottom). Thanks. —GethralkinHyperwave 07:57, September 13, 2012 (UTC)

Blocked

Dialog-error You have been blocked from editing for two (2) weeks for vandalism and/or general disruption. As an aside, constantly archiving your talk page so that the casual user cannot see what has transpired, and then antagonizing other users, along with purposefully vandalizing the site in an effort to be blocked is not acceptable behavior. Your talk page message isn't helping your case, either. There were many of us who were on your side and were willing to go to bat for you. If you had taken a step back and consulted with the administration concerning this issue, we may have been able to help you, and this could have been avoided. In fact, we did try to help you. However, you had taken it upon yourself to turn this whole thing into a feud with one user.

Giving yourself a vacation from the site is fine. Many of us do that. But, to avoid any conflict with other users, it would be best if you did not phrase your reasoning in the way that you have. I'll be honest; many do view it as "whiny." In the future, when things like this arise elsewhere, for any reason, it would be better if you try to avoid calling any further attention to yourself. Walk away from the computer. Don't tell someone that you're walking away from the computer, just ignore them. Let them have their last word. At that point, any further resistance on your end would just be added fuel to the fire.

I hope you do reconsider coming back to Wookieepedia. If you need any help, the administration will be happy to assist. If you are having problems with another user, tell us and we'll look into the situation. We have been watching this situation very closely. If you need an immediate response, you are free to come onto IRC and ask someone there. Your best bet is to avoid any user who has given you trouble. Don't escalate the problem by confronting them or antagonizing them in any way. Simply do not give them the time of day. If they bother you, the administration will handle it.

Take this time to relax and reconsider your approach, then return when you feel ready. Try not to let old issues get in the way, and if you have a legitimate gripe against another user, simply avoid that user. In this case, avoidance is your best policy. To contest this block, please contact the blocking administrator with the reason you believe the block is unjustified. Trak Nar Ramble on 02:09, September 21, 2012 (UTC)
