Re: Your message on jSarek's talk page
I can tell you what jSarek will: No. Wookieepedia has a very strict policy against fanon; it's simply not allowed. However, you may be interested in the Star Wars Fanon Wiki; it is an entire wiki devoted to fan fiction, and you would most certainly be allowed to write an article for your character over there, subject to their policies. Thanks. Master Jonathan

- First of all, thank you for your hasty response. I am aware of Wookiepedia's policy against fanon. Secondly, I sent that message because I am not sure of how the process works to turn something from a fanon story to something canon. I was under the impression that there is a process for changing something in that way. I know that as a result of Star Wars' millions of fans, there are also millions of fanfictions, and I was not sure exactly where to go, being under the impression that there was a place for that. Thanks for your time! --Master Tej 23:57, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
- There is no such process. What you have written is, and always will be, fan fiction. Very few people get to actually write canon, and those that do are hand-selected by Lucasfilm based on their previously published works. You can't just submit your story and hope they'll make it canon, because they can't even glance at unsolicited submissions for legal reasons. Sorry. Master Jonathan

That's alright. Thank you for your help.

- I really don't have much to add that Master Jonathan hasn't already said. The only reason I was fortunate enough to be able to write canon was because I made two successful winning entries in the now-defunct What's The Story? contest, which led them to solicit me to write an article. Note that in both cases it was Lucasfilm who opened the door - first with them running the contest, second with them asking me to write for them. It doesn't go in the other direction. jSarek 08:39, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
Re:
Please avoid making poor edits to a Good article unless you contact the original nominator beforehand. As for the THX mention in its respective article, that edit has been reverted due to it being poor as well. There was nothing wrong with it. Thanks, JangFett (Talk) 05:12, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
Timestamps
Please check the timestamp of a comment on a talk page before you answer with a passionate argument. You may discover that the subject of the discussion is currently out of date and several years too old. You may also be trying to prove a point with a someone who is no longer a contributor to this wikia. I understand from what you have written that you have strong feelings concerning the information that you are discussing. However, keep in mind that being argumentative—even when you may be right—can lead to causing disruption. As long as you keep your comments civil, the information that you present will be considered thoughtfully. GethralkinHyperwave 18:08, June 18, 2011 (UTC)
- Although Gethralkin was kind enough to notify you, you have restarted a thread from 2009 on Talk:Galen Marek. This is an obvious disregarding of the above comment.—TK-999

Wii
Hey Tej! Just thought I'd give you a head's up that you should take a look at my comment on what you said on the talk page for WP:TFU before you start editing stuff to fit the Wii. Oya! Cal Jedi

Re: Prisoners
While yes, many real-world articles still have this brand of information, it's a currently ongoing process to refine how the site presents such material that cannot necessarily be sourced. Your addition was certainly plausible and quite possibly true, but the fact of whether it was an intentionally made reference is the mainly dependent factor of whether it can be presented in the article. A recent CT was passed about how to treat these possible references to other material, and an example of the ongoing discussion about this issue would be this. I would encourage you to start a community-wide discussion where you can present more evidence of an intended connection between Indiana Jones and Fisto's line in "Prisoners," but if there isn't any official word on this, we can only treat it as a coincidence, however plausible it may be. Hope that helps. CC7567 (talk) 02:59, October 26, 2011 (UTC)
- Basically, what is needed is evidence that such a reference was intentional, or at least evidence that said reference has been repeated by official sources as is currently listed in Rish Loo's Bts section. All of this is currently how the recent CT is being defined as Wookieepedia policy, though it's still more of precedence in this stage because the community is still trying to define it. My suggestion about involving the community was mainly to get more views about potential evidence for the reference, and if such evidence is credible. In other words, I can't give you the final word about if you can add it to the article—the community should. I don't think that was your intention, but I just wanted to make that clear.

No worries. If you're having trouble getting an edit to look the way you want, remember to always use the "Preview" button to see what your final edit will look like before saving it officially. Or you can always seek out another user for help on their talk page or in the Senate Hall for technical assistance. Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:02, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Just wanted to let you know that I reverted your change to the Star Wars PocketModel TCG article. This was not intended to be a slight to your effort, but since there were some minor inaccuracies in the info you provided, and the tense you changed suggested that the game is still in production, it needed to be updated to fit the facts. However, since you implied by your edit that the rules were not fully clear, I took the time to flesh out those details pertinent to the content of this online wiki. Rather than work back through what you wrote, however, I found it easier to revert it to make the required changes. Thanks for drawing my attention to this, because it was something that needed fixing for some time and had escaped my notice. —GethralkinHyperwave 16:44, February 6, 2013 (UTC)
