Re:
- I personally don't like fan theories on the talk pages, but it's not anything horribly bad or a big deal. My fear is that people with no idea of canon will add fanon to the saber form articles themselves- you have no idea how many times I've had to pull Revan off of a saber form practitioners article. As long as that doesn't happen, I'm great. Anyway, it's not a big deal and I hope that you enjoy Wookieepedia. Atarumaster88 21:36, 22 May 2007 (UTC)
RE:Revan's amnesia
You know when the K.O.T.O.R. game says that Revan's mind was destroyed? That probably was his mind as in his "identity", not his memories. Obviously, his memories weren't destroyed, but as far as his identity, the Jedi Council couldn't repair Revan's identity. What do you think?
Honestly, I have no idea =). Your explanation is likely, but Bastila's vague statement could have meant any number of things. She could have been lying (ie. Obi-Wan's "certain point of view" nonsense), mistaken, or she could have been referring to an actual physical injury which resulted in amnesia. It is impossible to really know which theory is correct. I purposely avoided theorizing in the Amnesia subsection because many Wookieepedians would consider it unnecessary Fanwanking. And no, I am not accusing you of fanwanking! Believe me, I have done my share of it on this site…
Also, is the Circlet of Saresh included in the downloadable content in the K.O.T.O.R. version of X-boX?
As it states in the "Behind the scenes" section of the Circlet of Saresh article, it only appears in the PC version of the game. I am not 100% certain (I only own the PC version), but I am pretty sure that it is not part of the downloadable content.–Sentry 23:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
Just wanted to drop you a line
I think it is great how you keep analyzing KotOR I and II, and cross-reference it with other sources. Personally I think it's a mess of the kind I would never bother to even begin sorting out, therefore I admire it when someone does. Keep up the good work. It is people like you who will someday figure out the Jedi Civil War, and put it in a neat article for lazy fans like me to read and go: "Oh! So that's why!" DarthMRN 13:56, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
Jar'Kai
- Good job on the article. Here are a few suggestions for improvement. 1) The first sentence needs to have a different verb. 2) Everything should be sourced. 3) Watch POVish words, such as "terrible" and "masterfully."
Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 13:13, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- Point of view. See WP:NPOV. Basically, we try and avoid listing things in opinionated terms such as "terrible". Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 16:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
Possible practitioners
- We removed possible practitioners from the gallery on the saber forms awhile ago. Please don't add them back in, it detracts from the purpose of the gallery. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 18:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
- No problem. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 19:37, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
- Eh, I don't like Possible Users galleries- they're too vulnerable to fanon and it just doesn't make sense to me to place a gallery of people who aren't confirmed to use the form. I place that sort of info in BTS, and not much of it either. But, should you keep it, then you would not need the (Possible). Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 20:56, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- That's why I don't like the "Possible Users" section or galleries- it's not canon, so I don't see it as helpful. There was a vote, on the Form IV and V talk pages awhile ago to remove them. Anyway, that's all I have on that issue, though Kol is certified to be a Jar'Kai user if he has two blades, etc. You also might want to trim that main gallery down- it's huge. Upon seeing the size of that, I really wanted to delete the Possible practitioners gallery- it's just enormous. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 21:15, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- I thought I've read differently, but I can't remember the reference off the top of my head. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 21:39, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
- Authors never have been too helpful with the saber forms stuff, but there's hope with the Essential Guide to the Force hopefully going to explain some more. Well, good luck. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 21:59, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

- That link is broken. It leads to a "moved page" redirect. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 21:22, 25 July 2007 (UTC)
- Hmm, that's interesting, so it's worth a mention in your possible practitioners section. Also could use a mention on Darth Krayt. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 13:17, 26 July 2007 (UTC)
- Jack Nebulax took care of it already. :-) Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 14:27, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
- Erm ... I don't want to say that they are *confirmed* practitioners, as it's possible to never use them so they never level up. I can't say that for sure, one way or the other. Oh, and Zez-Kai and Vrook can teach the other forms- you just have to go to the planets in a different order. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 01:09, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
- The guide doesn't necessarily reflect the canonical path of the game. And it is possible to get all the influence with your other characters and learn the forms in different orders than what you listed- I did it by putting Dantooine first, then Nar Shaddaa, Dxun, Onderon, etc. In this case, not enough is set in stone about the Exile or her companions to allow us to make a definite statement on her companions or her knowledge of saber forms. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 03:29, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
Re: Lost Jedi
- Sadly, no canonical source has covered much about the Exile or her companions in great detail, other than KotOR II, NEC, and NEGTC, none of which mention her companions being trained in the ways of the Force. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 18:01, 31 July 2007 (UTC)

Spoilers
- If there is material released within the past month for the article that has spoilers, then it should have a spoiler tag, or if there is material from a soon-to-be released product. If not, then there should not be a spoiler. As I do not read Legacy comics and have no intention of starting, I cannot confirm or deny that- try Havac if you want someone knowledgeable about Legacy spoilers. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 03:50, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

Revan's Powers and Abilities
Hi Kasra.
In the future, can you please read the reasons for edits on Revan's history page?
The powers and abilities section of Revan's article is supposed to reflect his skills as an individual. Now, while you can play the game without party members if you so choose, we can only say with a degree of certainty that he defeated TWO terentatek on his own (which says all we need to know really, a *single* terentatek is capable of wiping out a *squad* of Jedi according to the Essential Guide to the Force).
Likewise for the Darth Bandon thing. Whilst it's likely that Revan is the one who kicked Bandon's ass, it is not - by any means - certain that he delivered the deathblow.
If you disagree, I'd at least like to see your reasons why - and then have a proper debate - rather than have you just change things back without explanation.
Catch you later.( Uli Talk 14:08, 14 December 2007 (UTC))
- I don't think we can, really. The majority of players faced Darth Bandon with a full party. Since there's a good chance that Revan didn't fight Darth Bandon on his own, saying he "defeated Darth Bandon" seems dishonest at the present time. We could say, at the most, that "Revan and his companions defeated Darth Bandon"... but then we'd have introduced people who weren't Revan into Revan's talent section. I don't see what the big deal, is, really. Bandon was a nobody... and we've got it down that Revan defeated Malak. Anyway, inabit, dude. :)( Uli Talk 21:15, 15 December 2007 (UTC))
Darth Malak
Alek is Malak now please don't try to change it. User:Atrulean Starkiller December 14 2007.
Saber Wielding
Hai, Kasra . In the way you say, all your teammates in KotOR videogames have possibility to wield "Duals" and "saberstaffs" and I doubt so . Simple examples - Jolee, Juhani and Bastila .--Alek-revanchist 13:15, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
Re:
- Jedi Kasra, I just read over your concerns and observations on my talk page. Here's what I have for you: The cover mentions are not typically included in on the Wookieepedia:Wookieenews page and they're generally not considered notable enough for main page news. That's more subjective I suppose. The KotOR era is really beyond my realm of knowledge, but they certainly appear to be the same group. If you would rather take it slowly, I suggest a talk page vote on one of the articles to determine if a merger is necessary. As for the last point on the Jedi Civil War, I will address it at the next Inq meeting in a week or so. Thanks. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 05:36, 6 January 2008 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 14:00, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
- A general guideline for a talk page vote is two weeks. That's not hard and fast; just a guideline. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 16:42, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- That sounds like a good idea; if the merge is approved, just let me know and I'll help you merge it. It's not that hard, just laborious. We won't actually delete the other article- it'll stick around as a redirect. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 04:15, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
- Right. Something like that. Or how Darth Vader is a redirect to Anakin Skywalker. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 19:30, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

- Sorry I wasn't on earlier, but the first step in merging the article over might be to ensure that the Appearances and Sources sections are combined into one. Don't remove the list from one article, but copy it over until the one you're keeping has the Appearances and Sources from both articles. Additionally, check that the categories are the same. They look okay to me. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 06:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
- The next step is a bit trickier. You need to incorporate all the information both articles into one, in chronological order. And I'm not sure on the image; that's not my specialty and I prefer the game image anyway. That's personal choice. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 22:06, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

- Okay, since the articles are moved, I redirected Jedi Crusader. Getting the title changed again would pretty much take another talk page vote, and I'm not sure you want to go through with that. If the vote was approved, it would be simple to just move the page. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 00:04, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

WookieeProject Knights of the Old Republic
I have been given permission by the original founder to take over this WookieeProject. As a result, I would like to ask if you are still interested in working on it. Please contact me if you would like to continue or not, stating which role you wish to play if so.--Goodwood 20px (Alliance Intelligence) 18:40, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
- Glad to see you're still interested. Image uploading isn't that hard once you get the hang of it; come on the IRC channel and most of the peeps there would be happy to help you figure it out. If you could, on the WookieeProject page please put what role you wish to take, such as Writer or Editor, next to your signature.--Goodwood 20px (Alliance Intelligence) 21:53, 14 January 2008 (UTC)
Re: Darth Bane: Rule of Two
Kasra: Unfortunately, I neither own the book nor have read it yet. I would love to help but am not currently knowledgeable on the topic. I'm glad you are willing to work on it, but I'm sorry that I can't help as far as information. Once the information issues are resolved, I would be willing to do a proofing and copyedit if I have time. (Unfortunately, life is getting crazy at the moment.) I would suggest asking around the Knowledge Bank or on the IRC to see who has expertise on Darth Bane. Good luck! Master Aban Fiolli {Alpheridies University ComNet} 23:22, 7 February 2008 (UTC)

Revan edits
- The reason I keep reverting your edits is because, firstly; it makes sense to assume that Revan would have been enigmatic regardless of whether he becae a Jedi or not, being enigmatic is a built in attitude. And about the seconde point, it doesn't really matter which you use, whilst you may not consider using the word "nicknamed" as professional, I would. And the fact of the matter is is that the title "the Revanchist" was a nickname. Jasca Ducato Sith Council 20:37, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
- Other articles do though. Ones like Anakin Skywalker, Mace Windu, Darth Traya, the Jedi Exile all have the species and gender of the caracter in the introduction. I don't believe their is any set policy on this, but I am one for keeping as much information as possible in the introduction. Jasca Ducato Sith Council 09:19, 14 February 2008 (UTC)
Zhran's Userpage
Hello Kasra it has been a while since I've talked on this site. Can you upgrade the fanon part of my page? You know mention my Master, when I became a Jedi Master, my part in the clone wars, my turning to the dark side (make up a Sith name, something with Destroyer or a word in another language that means destroyer), and that I was considered by many Jedi Warriors including Yoda that I was the greatest Jedi Warrior that ever lived.

Revanchists/Revanchist (faction)
Sorry for the lengthy delay. I basically had to take a week off the wook to fight 'Darth Real Life' for a time. I've thought about it a little this evening and I think that leaving as is would not be improper, but having Revanchists as a redirect to the current page would not be out of the question. In fact, it might be beneficial per the issues you cite on the talk page. Since that page already exists, it might be best to leave things as they are - which seems to more align with the current policy of naming wook articles. If there is overwhelming support to move the article, the data can be switched. I think for now, that is probably the best way to move forward.

- It's as simple as cutting the text from the talk page and pasting it in a new page (the archive with a redlink). You might need to place an archive header-I think I forgot to do that on Exile- to make sure that it's designated as an archive. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 22:55, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
- Go to the talk page. Highlight all the text you want to archive and (if you're using Windows, Ctrl+X or right click+cut will do) cut it. Then, open the redlink, which should bring you to a create new page link. Paste (Ctrl+V in Windows) the text into the new page and save it. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 03:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

- Kasra, your "OS" is your computer's operating system-Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X, etc. Your browser is the program you use to surf the Internet-Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc. I'm assuming you knew that already. These sort of errors are often contingent on those factors. Here are some other questions that the technical team wanted to know.
- What (if not all) pages on Wikipedia are you having this problem on?
- Does this only occur when you're logged in, or when you're not logged in also?
- Are you using a proxy service to connect to the Internet?

- Sorry for the delay in answering. I've forwarded your issue to the tech team; they should be looking into it. For the categorization, try using a piped link. Or you can use DEFAULTSORT to get what you need. (see, say, Wes Janson or Jaina Solo for example) Kasra, a lot of your questions can be answered by looking at the source code of other articles, so you might try doing that. I'm happy to answer them, but it might be more beneficial for you to "use the source" (code). Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 19:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
Word of advice
Next time you're going to archive a portion of an article's talk page, make sure you explain that in the edit summary before you just remove it all. When it comes to random removal of enormous amounts of text, I have an itchy revert finger. Use the edit summary. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
Tech team
- I talked to sannse, one of the Wikia technical staff, and she suggested that you try either upgrading/reinstalling your browser, or using another one, such as Mozilla Firefox. You should then clear your cache and Wikia cookies. The fact that this problem is specific to you suggests that it's an issue with your connection/browser. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 21:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
- Yes, that's correct. In Internet Explorer 7, go to "Tools", select "Internet Options", and then clear your browsing history. That will clear all the Wikia cookies. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 19:20, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
Malak
Hey Kasra,
I intend on looking it over tomorrow, and if anything else is required, I'll let you know. Thanks for the response! —Tommy9281(Lússë i Morë Hwesta súya!) 01:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
- Hey Kasra,
The quote actually I think is fine. I plan on going over the article again this weekend, but someone unstruck my objections, after I deemed them satisfactory. That's gonna take me a little longer to re-review, but nonetheless, I'll do it. I know what it's like to feel as though someone is sleeping on my nom, & I know it seems that I've been that way to you. Rest assured I haven't been, & that Malak is still on my priority list. But to answer your question, sure, that quote is fine by me. Later! —Tommy(Clean face and hands) 22:53, 9 May 2008 (UTC)
RE:Star Forge Duel images
Thanks! I use the PC version of the game. Besides blurring some of them a bit to make the pixels smoother, I don't really do anything special to them. I just pause the game every second and take screenshots from various angles. Drewton 17:46, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
- I just use the Print Screen button on Windows. I think you can take Xbox screenshots if you connect it to a computer and use print screen or a screen capturing software, but I'm not sure. Drewton 21:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
RE:Caedus
Of course not. There are never any hard feelings where I'm concerned, like you said we both were just doing what we thought was right and thats how it should always be, good hunting. - KAJ – Talk 17:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Darth Malak's GAN
Kasra, I'm sorry to say it, but it might just be better for you to give up on Darth Malak's GAN. The article just is not up to standards at the moment; a GA is not meant to be a poor man's FA, but for good articles that just aren't long enough to get on the main page. It is strongly recommended that you request the nom be removed, and then to devote your full attention to the article itself, following the Manual of Style and the FA tutorials put up by the Inquisitorius. Respectully, Goodwood 20px (Alliance Intelligence) 02:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
- Let me give you a few pointers insofar as how to make an article better. First off, when it comes to sourcing, it's not just about having a citation at the end of each paragraph, but adding them to all statements or groups of statements that come from any given source. For example, if you wanted to source Malak's ability to Force Jump, you would put a notation in for the original KotOR game, because that's where he displays it. If, however, you're sourcing entire paragraphs of his biography that only come from KotOR I, then it is okay to use only one cite per paragraph (at the end). The difficult part comes when sourcing across multiple media; for example, issues of comic books. You must give an appropriate citation for every bit of information that comes out of any given comic that pertains to Alek, a.k.a. Malak, that you put into the article.
- The second issue is completeness. For character articles, this can be both easy and very complex, depending on how many and how varied the sources and appearances are (Boba Fett is a prime example of how sticky things can get). With Malak, things are fairly straightforward due to the linear nature of how he's being portrayed in the comics; once you get through them it's just the video game and that's been combed over a good bit already. The biography is a balancing act between completeness and play-by-play: you don't want to go saying "Malak did a Force-push, then performed a somersault, then he sprouted wings and flew away", for example (okay, the example is rather silly, but you get the idea). For sections like Personality and Traits, Powers and Abilities, and even Equipment, it is, again, an issue of linear progression, providing citations for unique pieces of information and staying faithful to the text.
- Thirdly, take a good, hard look at other character FAs, particularly multi-source ones and Force-using characters in particular. Use their example as a general guideline, see where they've been sourced to reflect unique bits of information being introduced, how they lay out personality sections, and, with Force-users, the powers and abilities sections..
- Hope this helps.--Goodwood 20px (Alliance Intelligence) 12:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Don't take what happened in IRC personally, mate. They muted the channel probably as a joke, and yes I agree it was childish, but don't let that put you off. Come in again in a bit and we can try this again.--Goodwood 20px (Alliance Intelligence) 21:01, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
Removing unsuccessful noms
Hey, I've reverted your removal of the Malak nom on the GAN page. Whenever a nomination is removed either because it passed or failed, it needs to be properly archived for record-keeping purposes. It's best to let someone else it properly. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:30, 15 May 2008 (UTC)
Thanks
Thank you for such a warm welcome to the project. To tell you the truth I was hesitant to put my name down because I wasn't sure if there was some sort of applicant process or something. I'm happy to help improve articles as much as it is in my power. NaruHina Talk 20px 02:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Hello!
Hey nice to meet you! I'm glad to meet another Christian :) I'd be happy to tell you about my faith, and would be interested in yours too! "Reformed" is a branch of Protestant Christianity that I belong to. We believe strongly in Calvinism, the teachings of a guy named Calvin. (He lived a long time ago, he's dead now. He was called a "reformer", therefore the name "Reformed Christians. hehe) Short, very summarized and concise version of what we believe: God is sovereign and we are totally sinful - we are saved by his grace alone, not our own works. We believe in the Heidelberg Catechism, and I don't know if you've ever heard the acronym TULIP, (Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, Perseverance of the saints) - but it's a good summary of what we believe, and if you ever want me to go into more detail I could for you. Anyway, I'd be very excited to hear about your beliefs! Have a nice day -- Aqua Unasi 21:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
- I didn't realize how some Christians worship on Saturday and observe other Hebrew traditions like that, thats pretty sweet - weird how most churches changed from that, even though thats what the Bible says... hmpmh. I went to that site and read it a bit (didn't watch any sermons yet though, exams are coming up. I'm supposed to be studying for them... lol) but anyway, I agree with about all of it. I think sometimes I need roadmap with all the different denominations and views and such showing all the differences, there's so many and they all seem to make sense sometimes, its hard to sort out what the Bible tells us and what God wants us to know. Okay, anyway, I'm done with my bit of rambling now. I'm going to go attempt to study again. Its been nice talking to you -- Aqua Unasi 01:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, thanks for the invite to the KotOR projects, but I think I'm gonna have to decline. I'm not the writer kinda person, I just don't have that wonderful talent yet. (AP English next year... maybe that'll help. hehe) Anyway, I do love KotOR and will try to help when I can, but not enough to join the project. :) Aqua Unasi 02:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Darth Malak on SW Fanon
I've started an article for Darth Malak on Star Wars Fanon which will be an extended version of the Wookieepedia one, showing his turn to the dark side and many other fanon things while still following established canon (at least, until his turn is shown in the comics). I have a few pictures of some mods I made for Malak in the discussion page, which will soon be used in the article. Drewton 20px (Drewton's Holocron) 16:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
Lucien Draay on the Jedi High Council
Yo Kasra, Master Shannara here. Been trying to modify the template about the Jedi Council During the Mandalorian Wars so that it showed Lucien Draay as a member but it never works. Know how?--Master Shannara 13:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Re:Template
- You'd be better off asking someone a little more versed in editing templates than I am. Those kinds of things tend not to be straightforward. Try Xwing328. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 13:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:Legacy Project
Of course. Feel free. Just remember to sign the bottom of the page to say that you're helping out. Darthchristian 04:04, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
- I dont think its ready to get rid of that tag yet. It stills needs expansion on many of the newer topics, and needs a copyedit very badly, though I do believe that you did an excellent job of sourcing the article. =D Darthchristian 04:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
By the way....
- Can you do me a big favor Jedi Kasra? Can you help me get started on those lists of articles that are blank on the Legacy project page? I finished the events section, but there's still some works to get done. Feel free to complete any section you like - I just need these lists completed soon so we can get started on the project itself. Thanks, and cheers. Darthchristian 03:01, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
Re: Discussion Forum
- Great question asked Kasra. ;D However, I generally avoid discussion forums, because though some people ask great questions, it often turns into a big arguement about something pointless. I usually do keep a close eye on them, because sometimes they do post some valuable information. BTW, check the discussion forum tomorrow. I'm planning to have some goals for the project posted there by the earliest, tonight. Darthchristian 01:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- I'm planning to do that once I can start everything up and get it going. Before we can have a main focus, we need users to join it first. I'm trying as hard as I can right now to advertise the project so it can be successful. As of right now, the only people involved with this project is us and Graestan. Having a monthly focus requires a lot of dedication, as it is usually a hard, long article to work on. As I said, I plan on starting a main focus next week or the week after that. Darthchristian 01:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks, and no. Vergere was only mentioned during LOTF. Though some information came out about her, she was NJO and the Old Republic. Also, don't forget to advertise the project to more users as well. Cheers. Darthchristian 01:40, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Indirect mention of Revan
Here is where I feel the indirect mention of Revan is in Revelation:
Page 32, Jaina talking to Han:
"Bring him in," she said.
"Bring him in. Then what? Deprogram him? Lock him in the attic like you're supposed to do with crazy relatives? Rehabilitate him and take him back into the Jedi Order? What happens to ex-Sith Lords?"
This is what happened to Revan. He was deprogrammed and rehabilitated. If you feel it is too sketchy, I will happily delete it. I don't want to put things in that are too tenuous to actually be used. :-)--Darth Mondrak 19:32, 12 June 2008 (UTC)
- I have deleted that, as you say, it is a bit sketchy. No problems.--Darth Mondrak 19:44, 12 June 2008
jedi exile
That is exactly the angle im going for. Thank you for being intelligent enough to understand that a Sith Jedi exile would still be a heroine, from a certain point of view. Not to metion that i plan for her to mediate a truce between the sith and jedi, alowing both factions to rebuild enough to leed up to the Paths of Destruction novel. so in a sense, she will both save and destroy the sith, as well as save and destroy the jedi and their republic.HK-47 rebuilt 17:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)
yes i do plan to make her the unknown darth, as well as wake the sith force-users go into hiding. The truce i spoke of was a temporary one between the sith empire and the jedi/ republic. i thought id have her accend the throne to the sith empire, and proclaim herself as the last sith, meanwhile the sith force-users are secretly rebuilding on a secret planet called kane, which had been discovered by sion. its supposed to be a planet shrowded by the dark side, so that only someone with strong ties to it find it. oh and atton and the exile will have a son which they send into hiding from the republic/ jedi. and im sorry, the whole sighning my posts thing is kind of new.HK-47 rebuilt 17:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

Invincible
Hi, can I ask you a favour? I am reading Invincible at the moment so I don't want to go on the page. However, there is an error on page 4. I don't know if it has been picked up, but Jaina is spelt Jana. Would you be able to put it in the relevant section for me please? Thanks very much.

Re:Cade Skywalker
Hi, Kasra. I apologize for the delayed response. I was moving across the U.S. and then had to tend to a family matter. I unfortunately know absolutely nothing about Cade, but I gave the article a look and have a few thoughts. First off, the intro needs to be much longer and cover more information contained in the article. The intro may have fallen casualty to oversight as the gradual expansion of the article occured. The first section (Early Days) should be one paragraph and be restructured. I think there is possibly a way to expand this section; maybe not, however. Next, the pictures need to be respaced and placed in their corresponding sections or in the BtS, etc. Section 1.5 (Reunion at Vendaxa) has quotes in the middle of the section. My understanding is that this is not allowed. In-line quotes are one thing, but these do not seem to qualify. Perhaps breaking this section up into subsections such as 1.5.1, 1.5.2, etc. The article also needs a quote for sections 1.9 and 1.10, if possible. I would imagine there is something quotable here, though this would not be required to restore GA status. The second section (Personality) should actually be titled "Personality and traits." This section is very lacking and I can tell from browsing the article that much more information exists that can be included here. After that, I am not a good judge of content or accuracy. Perhaps others do. IRC might the best place to find those people. Good luck, sir! Master Aban Fiolli {Alpheridies University ComNet} 22:07, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
- Hey, Jedi Kasra, were going to put Cade as our next main focus on WookieeProject Legacy Era anyway. I'm waiting for the trade paperback for Claws of the Dragon to come out before we do that, so for now, were working on Darth Maladi, as you're well aware. Thanks for making Cade a lot easier when we get to it though. =D Oh, and I forgot to ask you something: you do have the rest of Maladi's appearances from Claws of the Dragon onward, right? Because I'm having a hard time finding someone to write that section onward, and I'm focusing on her appearances up until Claws of the Dragon. Thanks again. Darthchristian 02:18, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
Darth Malak GA
Hi, Kasra. Do you know when you're planning to nominate Darth Malak for GA status again? I've almost finished expanding it. Drewton 20px (Drewton's Holocron) 00:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
Favor
Hey, Jedi Kasra, can you do me a favor? Can you lead the Legacy project, as well as our main focus, Darth Maladi for a bit? I'm planning on working on Project Wormhead full force (The LOTF and Legacy section, obviously), and I can only write so much on Maladi. Contact me on my talk page if you have any problems, or to accept the temporary leadership. Thanks so much. Darthchristian 18:02, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Thanks so much. I'll still be around the project, doing an individual project once in a while. I'm just focusing on Wormie for a while. I'll probably be back to lead the project once again sometime in July or August. Darthchristian 20:48, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
- Alright, I'm coming back to Legacy again, but you're still my co-leader. =D DC 21:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
Hello Jedi Kasra
Hello, Jedi Kasra! I just join the Legacy Project, and I saw in the forum that you are the one now coordinating thing in the project, so I'm here to say that I'm open to any task or suggestion you think would help the project. My main focus of knowledge in the Legacy Era is the Star Wars Legacy comic series, but as I have all the Legacy of the Force books too, if needed be I could work on articles from that source too. Lately I've updated some articles with information regarding Legacy 25 (and I'll try to continue doing so) as many of those article were outdated, more than a week after the comic release. So, any suggestion, just say it - I'm here to help. - KDST 23:09, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
I already improved Maladi's sub-article. I added some information that was missing in the biography and submited some pictures and quotes. Seems to me that the bio is done, I don't know what else could we add. Now, what's missing is the personality and traits, and I'm not good at that. I suggest that someone finish the P&T, do some clean up, and maybe we could make this sub-article the main article. KDST 18:08, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
