Congratulations

Congrats on being the first Wookieepedian to get 30,000 edits, i noticed on the Stats page. Good job. Roron Corobb 20px 1:13, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

  • I issue a secondary congratulation. -- Riffsyphon1024 21:51, 13 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks, everyone. I actually got an email from Angela over this, apparently between my work here and on other wikis I'm one of the 20 highest contributors to Wikia. Kuralyov 23:59, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

Voting

Kuralyov, as you are an administrator, you might be interested in a proposed policy change known as Forum:Administrator Voting that could change how admins are chosen. It's on consensus track, but I thought it would be better to get more opinions. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 19:22, 14 September 2006 (UTC)

Redirects

[[:File:Pit-droid-award.png|thumb|200px|I Ugluk: Destroyer of Redlinks 19:23, 17 September 2006 (UTC) hereby award Kuralyov the Pit Droid Award for his outstanding and relentless work on important redirects.]]

"it is given a capital name, and if you keep reverting it, you will be given a cooloff ban"

What the hell was that about? I was capitalizing "Snoopscoot", and suddenly you revert it saying I was doing what you just did. Not only that, you threaten me with a ban for no good reason. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) Imperial Emblem 20:24, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Hey Kuralyov. While I think that the Recon-X is called a snoopscoot, Nebulax is an extremely valuable member of the Wookieepedia community, and his importance is greater than my by over a factor of 20. He has over 20 thousand edits. If you ban him, Wookieepedia will be severely inconvenieced. I'll negotiate with him to not capitalize "snoopscoot". One tinny-tiny latter isn't worth banning a user with 20,000+ edits! Cheers, RelentlessRecusant20px 10:47, 20 September 2006 (UTC)
sounds good to me, kuralyov's that is. Ugluk: Destroyer of Redlinks 21:30, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Corusca Rainbow

Why can't the Interdictor image go into the infobox for Corusca Rainbow? What's wrong? Some less-educated fans might not know what an I418 looks like.

Hey, see you around.

User:Blahxx

Your block of Blahxx seems a bit extreme. The article they removed from Wookieepedia:Improvement drive was something they'd previously nominated themselves. The majority of comments about the nomination said the article wasn't appropriate for an improvement drive, which is probably why they then removed it. -- I need a name 19:32, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

RE:FYI

And by new users, we mean anons or new user names? -- Riffsyphon1024 21:28, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

  • How exactly is that going to work? -- Riffsyphon1024 21:33, 20 September 2006 (UTC)

Kowakian 1

I am not sure what happened but user Kowakian 1 was banned by you and now he is asking everybody why he got banned. while i am sure you had a good reason could you drop him a message explaining it? Ugluk: Destroyer of Redlinks 23:06, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

IN that case he is editing as 67.72.98.88 so you may want to ban the IP address. Ugluk: Destroyer of Redlinks 23:11, 23 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Kuralyov, while he was a vandal, he has not been for a long time. I think you un-ban him, because this is an abuse of administrator powers. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) Imperial Emblem 01:16, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

In light of this new information I must request that you *don't* ban his IP. Ugluk: Destroyer of Redlinks 01:25, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

Order of Appearances

  • Can I just ask about this? Sometimes I notice your edits are moving the appearances around. Is there a set rule on what order they go in? By date of the material published? In-universe chronological order? Movies, then video games, then novels? Alphabetical? I don't quite understand. Enochf 22:32, 24 September 2006 (UTC)

vandal busting

nice job busting all those vandals today, but i was curious if there was a way to find out if they are a certain user here so you can perma ban that persons IP so they dont ever come back. Ugluk: Destroyer of Redlinks 00:21, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

  • I've asked on #wikia, but none of the staffers are responding....—Silly Dan (talk) 00:22, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm still wondering if they really do intend to prevent new users from being able to move pages. This is starting to get ridiculous (p.s. sorry I couldn't help, driving to my grandmother's, good job there). -- SFH 00:27, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Speaking of vandals, could you take care of this guy? Thanks. -- Ozzel 05:04, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

    • did you find out if those vandals shared an IP with one of our current, well respected members? Ugluk: Destroyer of Redlinks 20:45, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Stubs

Hey, I noticed you seem to not add stub templates to new articles that are quite short, and surely could be expanded. Could you please start doing so? I also noticed you added some "Appearances" under the "Sources" header, which is against the WP:LG. Thanks in advance. --Imp 14:59, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Again, please start adding stub templates, so that one-liners such as Plexi (surely not a legitimate article) do not count towards our official article count. Thanks. --84.134.61.186 15:59, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Question about sigs

Sorry to bother you, but I have a random question about signatures. I just made a signature that shows up fine on my subpage, but when I try to enter it in preferences I get an error messages that says "Invalid raw signature - check html tags". I was wondering if you could take a look at it and see what's wrong. Thanks for your time. - Angel Blue 451 04:38, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, thank you anyway. - Angel Blue 451 04:41, 26 September 2006 (UTC)

Stormtrooper organization

  • On the Company page, you've cited a 180-man stormtrooper company, and added Children of the Jedi to the source-list. All I can find in CotJ is Threepio citing 540 "shock troopers" in a three-company unit: while this is 3x180, this isn't quite the same as saying 180 troopers in one company: it could be three heavy weapons companies plus a 38-man HQ security platoon, for example—or have I missed a reference? Also, Pothman's company seems to have had just 45 men...
  • On the Squad page, you say In 6.5 ABY, it was standard for stormtroopers to have squads of nine men. I'm sure this is accurate, but what's the source here, please?
  • Thanks! --McEwok 01:53, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Update: I'm wondering now if Pothman's 45-man unit is actually a platoon, not the company he serves as armorer of, which would be a neat quarter of 180. --McEwok 03:01, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
  • Thanks for the reply over on my page. Looks like stormtrooper platoons are augmented as standard, five squads rather than four. I'd been meaning to write a more detailed page on that process—this might serve as the catalyst. Thanks, and sorry for the overhasty caution on my part. Good catches, on both points. --McEwok 20:54, 1 October 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, I've still not done a proper page on augmentation; but another question on military units: on Platoon, you edited to mention a 24-man Army platoon under the Old Republic; I'm curious to know what the source is on this. Also, do you have access to Pax Empirica, which apparently mentions 200-man platoons, much bigger than anything else I've heard described. Thanks!! --McEwok 16:07, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Could you put the link I mentioned on the Scythe dicussion page in the main article? I seem to be having trouble linking in the style that just shows a number. AdmiralNick22 04:45, 10 October 2006 (UTC)

Vaklu officer...

Hello Kuralyov!

Why is "Vaklu officer" pure conjecture? In KOTOR 2, when you select them, it says: VAKLU OFFICER. I've taken my combat information from seeing how they fight, and can clearly see their combat dress.

Also, I'm planning to write more articles on Vaklu's troops. Why did you delete the Vaklu category?

Please respond on my talk page!

Thanks!

Cheers,

"Threatening" you?

I did not threaten you at all, Kuralyov. I don't know what your problem is, but I'm asking you to remove that statement from your user page. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) Imperial Emblem 19:50, 19 October 2006 (UTC)

Fanon

  • Kuralyov, with your knowledge of Star Wars, you can probably tell better than I can whether Xaros is fanon or not. I highly doubt it's canon- especially since a CUSWE search turned up nothing. Thanks for your help. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 18:28, 20 October 2006 (UTC)
    • Much thanks. And your tireless efforts against those creatures we call vandals are seen by others. In honor of your efforts, I present to you the:

Fanon article

  • Kuralyov, I'm almost positive that Shikitzu Tatsagai is pure fanwankery. I would appreciate your final judgment on the matter, and a quick deletion if it is. You seem to be my favorite admin for killing fanon articles . . . maybe because you're on all the time. :-) Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 04:11, 23 October 2006 (UTC)

KOTOR Disinformation

The only one exhibiting an editing bias here is yourself I'm afraid. Until you can provide credible documentation to support these claims of yours, they should not be used in the article.Aniki21 02:03, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Killik Twilight

I don't own Betrayal, but when I read it I distinctly remember hearing of Killik Twilight being on display in the Solos' Coruscant apartment, and that Admiral Pellaeon gave it to them after he had got it from the Squibs in Tatooine Ghost. JohnMithic 03:10, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Sev

  • Was he captured or MIA? I just reverted a change on Clone Wars that said he was MIA, but changed it back after Sev's article said he was just missing. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 03:16, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Sparkla

  • Who is this and how did they get admin powers despite not ever being RFA'd? Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 02:32, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
    • I think Sparkla is a main Wikia admin-type, so he's got blocking powers across the board. By the way, "threast" is mispelled on your user page. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 04:54, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Star Wars Manga

  • Since you removed the NPOV tag, I assume that the section labeled "Publisher's summary" is in fact the publisher's summary. It didn't look like it to me, but I guess you know better than I did since you didn't reply on the talk page. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 04:07, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

69.112.236.242

Um... Hi. You sorta blocked my IP from editing recently until Febuary, and you didn\'t state a reason. Literally. So, I was kind of wondering why I was blocked, or if I could have it overturned even, although the latter is likely wishful thinking. The only idea that I have is because I edited the talk page for Legacy: Noob (The comic) and made a catagory \"lolnub\" in it. It did disappear shortly afterwards, so that might explain it. Still I\'m perplexed as to the reason wasn\'t stated, and I don\'t see why that would have been a bid deal on a talk page, anyway. It was merely supposed to be comedic; I mean look at the name (Noob)! ^_^

Anyway, thanks for your time, and yes, I am using a proxy- I\'m pretty sure it did say you frowned on editing with proxies, but... meh. Sorry, and please respond. Thanks!Madfoot713 23:26, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

  • Note: Sorry, I just read the page a bit more. I guess you might as well delete this, but... I think I\'ll keep it up for now, so please respond if you can, or something, and... yeah. Thanks. ^_^

Senate Hall post

  • Kuralyov, please don't take what I just posted on the Senate Hall wrongly. I'm not meaning any offense to you, and I've tried to be courteous and work with both you and Nebulax equally. I appreciate the work you've done—I never could have done all that you've contributed to this wiki—and have tried to express that. I'm just frustrated by our own inner conflict when we have these vandal characters to deal with. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 03:35, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Proposal: Deny recognition

I have started a admin's noticeboard thread about changing some administrative details about blocked user's pages here.

Sorry and thanks!

Hi Kuralyov,

Yesterday, I had edited the NJO and Legacy Era pages to state that they started at 37 ABY --- I had been under the impression that this was correct; LOTF was originally slated to begin at 37 ABY, and I was under the impression that while Betrayal was at 40 ABY, the era began three years earlier. I asked Sue Rostoni over at The Official Site earlier today, and she informed me that the era actually does begin at 40 ABY. Thanks for correcting my mistake!

RFA Comment

  • Couldn't help noticing your comments on Roron Corobb's adminship. While I do feel 11 years is a little too young for an admin, I'm curious as to your comment on his editcount. 2368 article edits places him in the top 50, probably even top 40 contributors of all time. I don't know if their minor edits or paragraph expansion, but that's not shabby at all IMHO. And I'd also like to point out that you did vote for Breathesgelatin, who has far fewer edits- actually Roron's article edits alone eclipse Breathesgelatin's total edits (2008 as of today, which is a couple of weeks after she was approved). Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 20:19, 2 December 2006 (UTC)

???

Hello. Iam BobafettH23. The comment about the admin nominee being to young is , well I think wrong. A 11 year old admin would be a good thing. It would show that wookieepedia takes everyone including kids serious. I myself am only 14. It would set an good example for other kids on this site. Thank you for time. If you reply, please do so on my talk page. Thanks. User:BobafettH23/Sig.

RFA

  • Kuralyov, could you please keep an eye on the RFA page- it's getting a little heated with Jack's nomination and all. I'm hoping that despite your past conflicts with him, you can objectively moderate an increasingly heated argument. Atarumaster88 20px (Audience Chamber) 17:42, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey man, don't mean to be hating on your stuff, just saying what I thought about it, and seeing what everyone else thought. If I'm all off base or something, feel free to let me know. Serendipitousus 06:28, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

I'm a little confused

    • My good Kuralyov, you seem to have gotten the wrong idea entirely, especially about me. First of all, I'm just as much a friend of you as I am of Jack. As for criticizing Nebulax, I've neither been the first or the last to take not e of his flaws, just not so publicly as others perhaps. On the vfd page for WhiteBoy's subpage (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:Votes_for_deletion/User:WhiteBoy/Kuralyov), you'll notice that I didn't vote for keeping it. Actually, I didn't vote at all, because I was unsure of whether it was proper procedure at all. Again, if you look at the page, the only comment I made was to ask if it was legal to delete the page and whether this was proper procedure. It wasn't stated clearly whether it was or not, so I didn't participate in the vote. I don't like anyone trashing other users, be it you, Cull, Jack, or any user. It doesn't matter to me. When have I trashed you? I really don't consider not voting and asking a simple question hypocrisy, and I'm sorry if you do. Let me assure that the last thing I wish to do is to play favorites or cause conflicts with other users. I've tried to do quite the opposite in fact. I've posted the same comment on the RFA page. Let me assure you, I'm not biased towards Jack, or anyone and merely want to make this site better. And personally, I would prefer that page be either removed or made mandatory for all admins, I just wasn't sure if vfd was the way to go about doing it.
