Barn-burner: Halfway home
Hey there, Fred.
Have some Wookiee-ookiees.
I want to thank you for your efforts so far during Wookieepedia's first barn-burner. This is a not-so-personal message that's being sent out to every participant, but rest assured that everybody affiliated with this project deserves the highest praise. I've been very pleased with the number of users who have been writing, nominating, and reviewing Wookiees and Wookiee-related articles this month. Awesome job, all of you.
We're a little past the halfway mark, and at this point, I'd like to encourage everybody to focus their efforts on reviewing. Many users have been reviewing a lot already, and yes, you're absolutely welcome and encouraged to continue writing and nominating articles at this point. I just want to encourage everyone to take some time and help out others, which was one of the original purposes of this project. Additionally, the more reviewing that we all participate in, the more articles we can see promoted before the end of the month. Anything promoted after the end of May will still count as being part of the barn-burner, but it would be cool to get as much through as we can before then.
We have a list of current nominations for handy reference. If you feel inclined, find some that tickle your fancy and go nuts. Thanks again for all of your hard work. Cheers. Menkooroo 06:59, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

RE:mission to Bimmiel
Hey you said you were going to do a pre-nom on mission to Bimmiel and it has been a few days and I am still waiting. If you are still interested in doing it give me a rough date when you will be able to start. Just so you know it is under 1000 words but I am going for an FA on it because it is only about 80 words short GTQ(Problems?) 20:42, May 19, 2011 (UTC)
RE:Mission to Bimmiel
Ok I have fixed the info box thanks for the advice I guess you can continue with the pre-nom now GTQ(Problems?) 23:00, May 20, 2011 (UTC)
Fixed redirect that I could find tell me if I missed any though GTQ(Problems?) 20:41, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
I tried using it I am not sure how no insert it I am not great at stuff like that also I don't use monobook so would that change any thing GTQ(Problems?) 20:06, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
I mean where do I add that code you cave me that is what I do not get what is my monobook.css? GTQ(Problems?) 20:14, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
I tried to follow you instructions but I did not work I'm sorry if I am being annoying I am unfamiliar With wikia code and formatting GTQ(Problems?) 20:54, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

Wurokkk
Hey there! I was archiving two successful CANs so I archived Wurokkk too. It's off the CAN page now so feel free to add it to the GAN page (add {{Top}} at the top though; I noticed it was missing). Archiving CANs is surprisingly simple if you ever want to do it in the future; just click on "Comprehensive article nominations archiving checklist" at the top of the CAN page and follow the instructions there.

Hey Master Fred! I'm currently working on Unification Policies for Good Article status. But I had to get it out of the library and I had to take it back. I'm working on getting the book, but I could use some help looking for another relevant quote for the Unification Policies. If you had a copy of the book I'd appreciate it if you could maybe let me know if there is another quote before I get a copy. Thanks alot!! :)Cal Jedi (Personal Comm Channel) 03:12, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Am Willing to edit Assajj's Mother page-Have Ideas
Hello Master Fredcerique:
I am AKA Shadow Lord Thorwin Mazeron; the profile I have just added is from my real name on FB. I would like to help with Asajj Ventress's records as her mother had a name and I had given a name to the Talzin Mother that led her tribe; I had calculatied Asajj Ventress's birth at about 50 years Before the Battle Of Yavin. I think that Darth Sidious had been the real person and Senator/Chancellor/Emperor Palpatine was his actual Clone Dark Sith Apprentice.
The Dark Sith Lords had been wanting to destroy the Jedi Council and had infiltrated both the Zabrakians and the Dathomirians to bring their Warlock and Witch Brotherhoods and Sisterhoods over to the Dark Side. I can give names and backgrounds to some of your characters if you give me a chance; I am very interested also in Star Wars Galaxy since I am creating my own character. Thorwin Organa Mazeron whom was the son of Maline Organa, Bail Organa's daughter; what I would like to write is a whole series of stories for the Era of the Clone wars and as far back as 600 Years Before The Battle Of Yavin up to 45 Years After The Battle Of Yavin, I can explain much about why the Night Brothers and Night Sisters became the way they are, what I need is to be allowed to write these stories.

User name
Hey there again Fred! Just a little heads-up that I heard on the IRC that Wikia is letting users change there User names now. I seen on your main page that you misspelled it when you first started so were stuck with it. Seeing how you've used it for so long, I don' know if you want to stick with it, or not. Anyway, just thought I'd let you know. Also, while I'm here, I might as well put a request for you to join WookieeProject Video Games. :P Well, God bless ya.

We're halfway there
Hey Master Fred... good job
So guys, we're nearing the halfway point with this barn-burner. I just want to send out a broad message thanking everyone who has and plans on participating in Wookieepedia's second barn-burner, and update you guys on how it's going so far. So far, we have promoted nine Comprehensive Articles, twelve Good Articles, and one Featured Article! Fantastic job everyone who wrote and reviewed those weapons articles, I couldn't have asked for a better group to do so. We also have a number of current Good and Featured Article Nominations currently up, which you can see here.
However, as we approach the halfway point, I do want to encourage you all to keep writing and reviewing weapon articles for the barn-burner. Our goal should be to meet or surpass the level set by the previous barn-burner, which had over forty promoted articles. While we should aim to pass as many articles as possible by the end of the month, I may extend the barn-burner a little into September for any stragglers, especially for those Users who are writing extremely long Featured Articles for the project.
I should also notify participants of a recent Consensus Track over weapons that is about to pass. The CT is over when we should fill in the "Owners" field for Template:Weapon. Right now, it seems as if we are leaning towards filling in the field for unique weapon types, and not filling in the field for general weapon types. As such, we should fix any weapons we have, or will, write for the barn-burner to fit these new parameters. Thanks you for reading this, and keep up the good work.

Huloon
Hello, I just wanted to tell you that I removed The Essential Atlas Online Companion from the source list of Huloon, because the companion has information on systems, not planets, so it contains no information on the planet Huloon. Thank you for your time.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 23:14, October 3, 2011 (UTC)
- I know it gives the coordinates, but something should only be put in the source list if it is mentioned in the source. Since the companion only mentions the Huloon system, and not Huloon specifically, it should not be a part of Huloon's source list.--Exiled Jedi

Thank you very much for the welcome. I did have one question. It's been a while since I used a wiki like this, about four years. I searched the help pages, but I must have missed the section on how to upload and change the avatar. Is it possible to upload your own picture and use that? I could only find options for facebook and some default icons. I would much love to use my own icon of my Pantoran. x3 Thanks again. Kyu Arashibara 20:34, October 7, 2011 (UTC)

Augie 'N the gang
You crazy musician! You just can't do it without the comics!! It's madness!!!!!!
With that said, Augie's band appears in these adaptations, presented here in chronological order:
They do not appear in the regular comic adaptation, which does a pretty bad job of truncating every scene.
Nothing in the Visual Dictionary, Inside the Worlds, or Incredible Cross Sections. It might be worth asking Bob about the Insider's Guide. Nothing in the Official Souvenir magazine. I hope this helps! Menkooroo 04:10, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
Augie's band
I guess you could start by adding the CSWE to the sources section. :P
Also, something I just noticed: The official souvenir magazine lists the tracks from the soundtrack, among them the track called "Augie's Great Municipal Band." Enough of a mention for the Sources section? The track is named after the band, and "Qui-Gon's Noble End" would probably count as a mention of Qui-Gon. Menkooroo 02:30, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Also, I would like to suggest that somewhere we make a list of articles that are currently being worked on by specific users that way people on the project don't bump into each other, small as our number may be at the moment.

Good article nominations???
Hello! I was wondering if you would be willing to look over two of my articles that I wrote and tell me if you think they would be ready for me to nominate them as good articles? The two articles are Skirmish between the Chiss and Vagaari and Battle near the Crustai base. I would just nominate them, but I'm rather new here and I wanted someone else's opinion first. Thanks!--Princess Leia Organa Solo-GLG 21:11, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
- OK, so... is that a little better? As for Thrawn being related, he "was" the commander of the Springhawk which is the ship that took down the Vagaari ships. I couldn't find any other related images (of the battle or the ships or something) so if we end up taking his image off I don't think we will be able to find another one. Also, I'm having a little trouble with the infobox; under battles that are next I have two battles listed, but their not showing up. And under side 1 I have Chiss Ascendancy with an asterisk before it and then I have Chiss Expansionary Defense Force with two asterisks before it to indent it, but again, it isn't showing up. Thanks again!--Princess Leia Organa Solo-GLG 12:47, March 3, 2012 (UTC)
- I referenced the first paragraph of the Bts, but I couldn't find a referance for the second paragraph. Should I just remove that part unless I can find a referance for it? I also removed the parenthesis the best I could. One question, should the rest of the references outside the infobox be done with the {{Ref}} template too? So... now I need to expand the intro, anything else? Thanks so much, I'm learning a lot.- Princess
GLG
- I have expanded the intro, can you tell me what you think of it? I'm having trouble figuring out how to change the tone to the article to an encyclopedic form. I'll try to work on it, but could you show me an example?- Princess
GLG
- I have done some more work on my two articles. I decided to drop Battle near the Crustai base (renamed Battle near the Crustai base) because it is to be merged with Battle of the Geroon homeworld (I did look for an existing article before I wrote my own.) and I no longer have Outbound Flight to try and merge them etc. (The article has some things I don't remember being confirmed in the book.) However, I am still going to try to nominate the Skirmish between the Chiss and Vagaari. (renamed Skirmish in the Crustai system) Is there anything else before I try and nominate it?- Princess

Hey, Fred. Recently, a discussion was brought up in one of the forums for WP:VG. The topic, seen here, is a discussion of a group project. Corellian Premier originally came up with the idea, and he thought perhaps the Battlefront series would be a good one to work on.
