I appreciate that you're trying to help, but I've been reverting your edits to that article, because they've generally added POV and lowered the quality of the prose to the article. I'm sorry I haven't addressed this with you before, but just wanted to let you know. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 06:17, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Well, the Shaak Ti one isn't pure Ataru, which is why I removed it. Also, as the person who wrote/co-wrote the other three saber form FAs, I'm pretty sure that none of them have "weakness" sections specifically dedicated to them. They're incorporated into the applications and description sections to avoid making lots of little sections. As for pics, the issue will be finding one that we know canonically is representative of Ataru. That's the tricky part. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 06:27, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
On Shaak Ti, I realize that, but I'm hoping to stick to strictly Ataru pictures in order to provide more representative pics. As for the SW.com ones . . . they're all of people that are already pictured in the article, at equivalent or lower quality. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 06:35, 21 May 2009 (UTC)
Re:Questions
On the Jar'Kai project, simply be bold and work on it—no submission necessary. As far as the lightsabers are concerned, I think it definitely would be Asajj's. Though, IIRC, we generally don't make articles for individual lightsabers, so I would refrain from creating the article. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 15:13, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
Jar'Kai
Hey, nice job on the article. One thing, Dooku was not Greivous' Sith Master, since Grievous wasn't Force-sensitive. At any rate, Dooku was restricted by the Rule of Two, though this did not stop him from teaching Ventress a few Sith techniques.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 14:58, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
FA edits
Please be more conscientious when editing our featured articles. Edits like your recent ones to Form IV: Ataru, which added POV and a spelling error to the article, detract from the quality of those articles. Also, repeated reversions of your adding low-quality or too many images to articles are growing rather tiresome. Please keep your tendencies towards such excesses in check in the future, or you may face a short block for disruption. Thank you. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 01:53, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
One, quality counts for a lot. Replacing old high-res images with new low-quality images is not good ju-ju. Two, if you weren't so prone to utterly rejiggering the article/image layout when you add new images, I'd be more sympathetic. Three, re: Yoda vs. Dooku, it's your personal opinion that bladelock images are bad and that Yoda vs. Dooku is the most epic use of Ataru, so taking the position that everyone else is somehow doing the wiki a disservice by not agreeing with you immediately will get you nowhere. Regardless, if you get a higher-quality image, I won't object to it replacing the other image. My warning about not screwing with FAs anymore still stands. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 02:11, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
Wow
I just have to say "whoa" on your efforts to complete a whole history of the Sith. You are creating a comprehensive and detailed history that even the star wars database can't rival. I also noticed that there is no mention of Darth Phobos in the history. Is there any reason for this? I was just wondering because she was pretty major. Is it the fact that she was not a Dark lord of the Sith? User:Revanthereformer1138
Assistance
Hello,
I see you're working on Vodo, and thank you for tackling such a project. As Wookieepedia's current director of all thingsTOTJ, I'd like to lend whatever assistance I can. I've already seen a few things I can help with while watching your progress, but will only do if you require/request a helping hand. Let me know your thoughts on the offer, and keep up the good work.—Tommy9281(No truth in me) 17:21, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
I can help with that. It would probably be easier for me to just add the rough ideas to your project page and then let you flesh out/reword as you see fit. Also, I wanted to provide you with a couple different images than the ones that are currently being used. Do you have the Dark Lords of the Sith audio drama? If not, I can help you with the information from there as well. Let me know how you feel about that.—Tommy9281(No truth in me) 17:40, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
Sith Page edit
Hey, man . I just added some stuff to the sith page. It's mostly just minor Trivial stuff. Here is a list just tell me if anything is out of place. Most of it is straight from the essential atlas, so if you don't have it it may be strange.
Here is the list
Early on they immersed their culture in the dark side
They were able to fight off a Killik incursion circa 30,000 BBY. This is presumably how the Killik Sith Lord who resided on Alsakan came to be. Although how he was able to break from the hive mind is unknown.
After driving them from Korriban he hijacked serveral of their ships and used them to spread the Sith species to Ziost, Tund, and Malachor. He was eventually successful in driving the Rakatans from Sith space entirely
One of the horrors of this war took place in 7000 BBY when Dathka Graush destroyed most cities on Korriban. This may be why the Sith were mere primitives when the exiled Dark Jedi reached Korriban.
Over time they reverted to primitives. In 8000 BBY humans and aliens escaping the oppression of the Tapani Dynasty arrived through the Stygian Caldera. This may account for the Sith influence of the Mecrosa order in the future.
With the Republic navy entering Sith space the Sith became desperate. Shar Dakhan as acting Dark Lord of the Sith ordered all Massassi to initiate Suicide runs on the Republic ships. This drove the Republic back for a short while but in the end they returned and Destroyed the Sith Empire. However, this was not the end. On Kesh the descendants of a crashed ship the Omen survived and formed the lost tribe of the Sith. Serveral sith sects survived on Vjun and passed on their teaching secretly through the families. On Tund the native Sith became mere charletons known as the Sorcerers of Tund. Finally one Sith Lord took his forces and retreated to the unkown regions where they would bide their time, and wait. These True Sith later known to be the survived Sith Empire apparently still held on to Malachor V as a teaching center.
By this time the True Sith had forgotten the world.
He also believed that these True Sith had somehow influenced the Mandalorians into attacking the Republic.User:Revanthereformer1138
Japanese Ventress covers request
Do you think you could crop the images of Ventress from the Cestus Deception, Jedi Trial, and Dark Rendezvous Japanese covers? I think they would be good for the article. Since JMAS was unable to respond, I thought that I should turn to you. Lord KOT 01:45, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
Re:Shii-cho
It seems to me that you could use a picture of Lucien Draay there if you wanted. I've looked at the Champions of the Force trading card game and the Jedi Academy Training Manual, but none of them seem to show Form I. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 19:31, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
You might try Fightsaber, the KotOR campaign guide, or Hero's Guide then, but if there's nothing in those, then I wouldn't know where to look. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 19:38, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
I'll give your project a look tomorrow. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 23:09, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
Sorry, I was delayed from getting to it until now. Anyway, it looks pretty good overall. It could use a longer introduction, which wouldn't take you long and would make the article look a lot better. You did have some areas with present tense, but I cleaned those up for you. I also cut a redundant paragraph. Are you sure about referencing it to ANH? The term Shii-cho never shows up in the movie; you'd be better off citing the source that said Luke was learning Shii-cho. I think that saber forms in KotOR II only apply while you're using sabers, so you might want to check on that. I don't think any source has confirmed Ventress as a Makashi practitioner, unless the Clone Wars source explicitly says Form II. You also might want to check for overlinking. Lastly, you will need to reference the BTS. Still, it's an improvement to the previous version of the article. Good job. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 16:57, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
Thanks for checking into the KotOR II stuff, but your conclusion on Dooku is fanon and/or original research. The novel Labyrinth of Evil states that Dooku knows at least six of the forms well enough to recognize them and teach them to Grievous and his MagnaGuards and other sources have stated that was an expert swordsman, so it is entirely possible that Ventress's style is not Makashi. There are plenty of examples where swordsmasters do not pass on the same lightsaber form to their apprentices, so do not make the mistake of adding your own conclusion to the article and describing it as canonical. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 20:08, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
The only way that Asajj can be canonically described as a Makashi practitioner is if a canonical source directly states it. Period. All this surmising about what Dooku did or didn't pass on is irrelevant; just because he is a Makashi practitioner does not make Asajj one. Not that it matters, but remember that she was a Jedi Padawan for awhile and could have learned a number of forms. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 05:11, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

When you upload new images, please remember to fill in all fields of the {{Information}} template - including the artist and all respective categories. Thank you. MauserComlink 16:56, February 5, 2010 (UTC)

Do you mind if I delete all your subpages that simply redirect to your userpage, seen here? Thanks, Chack Jadson(Talk) 17:13, April 6, 2010 (UTC)
Uploaded a cleaner version of Clone SK's lightsabers from the Mimbot. You can crop to fit as you like. It should be noted that the two lightsabers Vader hands SK/Clone in the first cutscene, at least on the PS3/PC/360 version, are actually the original SK's lightsaber, from TFU 1. He's got these newer lightsabers as soon as the gameplay starts, and those older hilts are not seen in any future cutscenes. The Collector's edition Mimbot Digital Art Book has a bunch of Bts stuff for various story panels, as well as costume cues and even a game script. If you want to check it yourself, you can probably find it on the internet. SinisterSamurai 01:43, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
Pfft. In the time it took me to make a sandwich and write that, you already thanked me. :p BTW, I've got all the images extracted, if you see one you like and don't feel like extracting it yourself. SinisterSamurai 01:45, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
"The clone sabers are simple by design and meant to look like they could be quickly created in mass quantities to arm the multitude of Starkiller clones housed at Darth Vader’s secret cloning facility. The white blades reinforce the concept of the clones as “blank slates” that haven’t yet “earned” a color. In the concept, the clone sabers are luminescent because we were toying around with the idea that the hilts and saber crystals might act as a power and light source for the cloning tubes. Even though it isn’t represented in the game, the idea still stuck."
"All of the Starkiller clones carry sabers, but the ones given as gifts to the player-character at the beginning of TFU2 have been “Vader-ized.” Aside from being weapons, the sabers act as visual reinforcement of the idea that Starkiller is a clone, and that this particular version has the potential to be the attack-dog Darth Vader has always wanted."
Ingame, they may be identical. I just copy-pasta'd the artbook descriptions for those two images. SinisterSamurai 06:01, December 27, 2010 (UTC)
Form V again
Based on Inquisitorius comments on the status of this article, over the next few weeks, I will be reverting the majority of the edits made after November 2010 while preserving the good changes that were made in that time. Your edits had some merit, but also added numerous errors and overall weaker prose, which directly led to the article's probationary FA status. While I appreciate your desire to contribute to Wookieepedia, our Featured Articles have certain standards on writing quality that your recent edits to this article have been unable to match, and we've had this conversation before. As such, refrain from making more than minor edits to it in the future and definitely don't attempt to merge your subpage project with the article—the prose there is not FA-quality. I've warned you about this sort of thing before; this is the last time. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 05:58, January 22, 2011 (UTC)
Re:Upload help
Could be a bad file. Nothing stands out to me on your log that would prohibit you from uploading images. Try re-scanning/downloading the image and upload it again. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 03:41, February 11, 2011 (UTC)
That's unusual to be sure. You do have a confirmed e-mail address for your Wookieepedia account, right? That would cause it to fail if you didn't. Atarumaster88(Talk page) 04:21, February 11, 2011 (UTC)
POV
I was glancing through you work and noticed a minor mistake in the Karoc and Vinoc subsection, "Unfortunately, they were confronted by Anakin Skywalker, who defeated both in the ensuing lightsaber duel." Saying "Unfortunately" is considered Point of View by the Inq and AC. You should probably change it to, "Unfortunately for Karoc and Vinoc, they were confronted by Anakin Skywalker..." I would also like to say what you're doing is quite amazing. There are few user who would be willing to write an article as large as this, and even fewer who could do it as well as you have. Thanks. Kilson(Let's have a chat) 08:05, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
Dark Acolyte
I noticed that you expanded the Dark Acolyte article greatly. However, you have added waaaaaay too many images, as well as the image gallery which is generally avoided in mainspace articles. A lot of the images can be removed. JangFett(Talk) 05:52, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
There shouldn't be that many images. Not all sections need an image since the sections within the article are quite small. One image for every other section should suffice, otherwise the entire article appears to be engulfed with images. Also, the image gallery is <gallery> File: </gallery>, which is used in the article at the moment. JangFett(Talk) 06:02, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
Nice Job
Again, I say you did a fantastic job with the Dark Acolyte article. I have to ask though, now that you're done with the article, aren't you going to nominate it for Featured Article status? If were not planning on doing so, I would strong recommend that you do. After putting so much work on that article, it would be amazing to see in featured on the Wook's main page. :) Kilson(Let's have a chat) 22:09, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
I don't mean to rush you or anything. The nomination would likely take along time, so just wait until you feel you are ready. Kilson(Let's have a chat) 22:31, April 23, 2011 (UTC)
Qui-Gon Jinn's lightsaber image.
A wise choice. Good selection on a new image. Thank you. Roger Murtaugh 06:45, August 11, 2011 (UTC)
Kul Teska
As Kul Teska is a current FA, please do not edit it beyond minor changes, as its current state was approved by the community. If you have any questions, please consult the nominator (QuiGonJinn in this case) before changing the article. Thank you. CC7567(talk) 19:48, November 13, 2011 (UTC)
Redirecting articles
Hey Jensaarai; articles should be moved correctly using the "move" button at the top of the edit screen, rather than creating a new article and redirecting the old article to the new one as you did with Galen Marek's first lightsaber. This preserves the edit history of the original article. I have moved the aforementioned article correctly, but please ensure that you use this method in the future when renaming articles. Thank you for your cooperation. - Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 07:53, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
Why do you think that the duel between the Pre-Suited Darth Vader and Jedi Master Obi Wan Kenobi was a "fluke"?
Also, do you know any of the Niman lightsaber forms defensive maneuvers (IK it's a nerdy question)?
Sith Emperor
Hi Jensaarai. In an effort to resolve the current stalemate with regards to the naming of this character's page a vote has been proposed. As you were a vocal participant in the initial discussion I thought that you may like to be made aware of the vote here: Forum:CT:Move_Sith_Emperor_to_Emperor_Vitiate.

Do you think you should do a team battle of 2 against 1?
Your help is needed
Dude, you hardly make any contributions on this wiki anymore. I know you're busy with your Versus series, but there are a lot of articles that need your immediate attention. As much as I like to do some of them myself, it's the sentences I mostly have trouble with, in terms of rephrasing them. Lord KOT (talk) 00:36, February 5, 2014 (UTC)
By-The-Book
In regards to the image of Starkiller vs. Chop'aa you posted on the Rescue of Garm Bel Iblis page on February 12, 2011, you should revise it. According to the Force Unleashed novel, by the time that this mission occurred, Starkiller was using Rahm Kota's lightsaber with a blue crystal (this was canon in the Force Unleashed storyline). If possible, you should get a new image of Starkiller dueling Chop'aa wielding Kota's lightsaber hilt with a blue blade (you can keep the Corellian flight suit, though). 4:11 PM February 10, 2018 User:Ghost of LucasArts
