Talk: Mauser/Archive 4

Categories

Just thought I'd throw this out as an FYI. I was told some time ago that I shouldn't make an image category unless there is at least two images in that category. So making the categories for covers of yet-to-be-released comics should probably wait until there is a second image for them. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 02:05, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

• Wow, didn't know about that rule. Anyway, I already finished by the time I saw this, so I'll stop anyway. Mauser^Comlink 02:08, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

Children of the Force

Apologies about that; I blanked out about the "Rookies" precedent, even when you mentioned it. :P Sorry for any confusion. CC7567 ^(talk) 06:06, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

• You're welcome. People will look for the episode much more frequent than for the comic. Mauser^Comlink 06:47, September 10, 2009 (UTC)

TEA

I assume you own The Essential Atlas given all the work you've been putting in to system articles. I'm just wanting to confirm something as I do not yet have a copy. Did Modi provide all the maps in the Atlas? - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 13:28, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

• I ask, because his article almost makes it sound like he's responsible for them all, but I don't want to go through and put all the map images into his article category if some are attributed to another artist. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 13:33, September 11, 2009 (UTC)
• Well, you assume incorrectly, since all I have to work with is the Online Appendix and the maps that have been uploaded to the Wook (and that alone threatens to take months to process, believe me!). However, I can confirm that not all maps are done by Modi, lots of them were also done by Chris Reiff, as explained by the authors here. I suggest you revert all of your categorizations edits unless you are 100% sure in case of each separate map. Mauser^Comlink 13:34, September 11, 2009 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for one week. You were told by an administrator to curb your attitude on TCs, which seems only to have intensified your abusiveness. In the latter thread you've violated WP:NPA and are blatantly abusive. When you come back, drop the attitude or you will find yourself being blocked again. To contest this block, please contact the blocking administrator with the reason you believe the block is unjustified. -- AdmirableAckbar ^(Talk) 11:25, September 12, 2009 (UTC)

Atlas

Hey Mauser. Just a point regarding the Atlas. If you are using the online SW.com page as your source, you should be referencing it to Star Wars: The Essential Atlas Online Companion. The sector placements are not actually given in the Atlas itself. Apart from that, keep up the good work. --Eyrezer 09:25, September 17, 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks, I guess I should tweak my copy-paste stub after all. Star Wars: The Essential Atlas Online Companion article did not exist when I first started. Also, since you are obviously interested in the appendix, I would like to hear your opinion about this question, if you don't mind. Mauser^Comlink 16:06, September 17, 2009 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I think Cav created it at some point. Re, systems, I am happy to have systems for all the entries in the Appendix except those for nebulas and space stations. --Eyrezer 00:51, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

Images

Hi, justy to clarify some misunderstandings over images. It is not that I don't try enough but I am just unfamiliar with the software and techniques. Sorry to bother you but just to let you understand my image issues. I don't seek to fight but I felt that I needed to explain myself. Thanks.--Andykatib 07:21, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

• You just have to try to make batter scans, that's all. Mauser^Comlink 19:32, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
  • I understand, I'll look into it. I'll ask someone to show me how to do it the proper way. Andykatib 07:34, Sept 18, 2009

Re: Restore

Go for it. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:35, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Crisis on Coruscant

You beat me to it. :P I was just about to move the page but I see you already have done it. JangFett ^Talk 18:44, September 19, 2009 (UTC)

Het Nkik

Ah, thank you Mauser. I'll add that right away. Chack Jadson ^(Talk) 15:45, September 20, 2009 (UTC)

Thicket

So the name is actually just Thicket? If the name is The Thicket, then it's acceptable to leave it at The Thicket. Chack Jadson ^(Talk) 15:51, September 20, 2009 (UTC)

Note that it's the "Thicket", not "the Thicket" in the comic. Mauser^Comlink 15:55, September 20, 2009 (UTC)

• Ok, cool. Chack Jadson ^(Talk) 23:26, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

Little Kessel

Thanks for the cleanup help, Mauser. Little Kessel's my first created article, and References are still a little confusing to me. Thank you very much! Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith 17:12, September 21, 2009 (UTC)

Situation

There's a situation on Talk: Tusken Raider. We have an anon claiming to have an unmasked image of a Tusken Raider. I doubt that it is a Tusken Raider but would you please like to investigate? I apologise for troubling you. Andykatib 09:26, 22 Sept 2009 (UTC)

Comic issues in Appearances

I've reverted a few of your edits where you've removed individual comic issues in the Appearances section in lieu of the parent article encompassing all of them. While some other hopelessly lazy users will say otherwise, listing by individual issue is preferred for more precise sourcing. Toprawa and Ralltiir 15:02, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

WP:LG#Appearances: "For comics, link to the individual issue, unless a subject appears in every issue of a story arc."

Mauser^Comlink 15:04, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

• • Well, that's a pretty archaic rule, considering, aside from the aforementioned hopelessly lazy, how many of our best article writers who do source by individual issue regardless, again, for the sake of greater preciseness and accuracy. And I think it's pretty pathetic that you're actually citing this to me. Toprawa and Ralltiir 15:07, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
    • I was just citing the reason I do this, no offense meant. I also don't think it is lazy, it's just... space-saving. I won't revert your reversion, but I see no reason why I shouldn't follow the rule until it is changed. Mauser^Comlink 15:10, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
      • No offense taken. I'm more put off by what I consider a pretty stupid rule. In the name of our increasingly professional article standards, this is indeed archaic. But I'm not going to argue with it as long as it's there. Feel free to revert. Toprawa and Ralltiir 15:13, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
        • I'll get to it when I proceed the actual issue. BTW, if it's just one line you find silly, why not start a small CT on it? Mauser^Comlink 15:17, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

If you're still working on naming conventions...

There's two things you might want to note:

1. Forum:CT:Author's real names is the reason I reverted your recent A. C. Crispin move: this old decision requires us to use the name the authors write for Star Wars under. If you were thinking of taking a unified naming conventions policy to the CT at some point, I'd suggest expanding that policy to use the name actors, artists, crew members, etc. used when credited for their Star Wars work (e.g. Billy Dee Williams instead of William December Williams.)
2. You have a note about plain numbers not being reserved for years, unlike on Wikipedia. We have apparently reserved numbers between 1970 and at least 2015 for years, though. I don't know if that would need to be noted or not.

I hope you are still working on that: what policy we have is long overdue to be fixed up and formally written up. —Silly Dan _(talk) 14:45, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks for the info. I have indeed decided to try it again and I will put it on CT once one of the two current threads I started dies. Mauser^Comlink 14:56, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

RE

I know this Mauser but I first created the article an will add this thigs. I've got the info from the Game page of RH, so you can remove the delete tag. --Clone Commander Lee ^Talk 15:58, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

Re

Re: redirects - In regards to redirects, I know they're harmless but why are we leaving/having pages that are blank and/or having no pages link to them in the first place??? would it not be just as easy to delete the pages I've identified instead of reverting my edits and end up having redundant blank pages all over the place??? Pabr Oebris 10:12, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

• The reason is: search function. People would likely type Jabba in the search box instead of Jabba Desilijic Tiure, that's why we're keeping a redirect page. Same with Thomas J. Spanos, people most likely would search his name without the "J.", so Thomas Spanos must be kept. Please sign your comment by typing ~~~~. Mauser^Comlink 09:24, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
  • Fair call. Apologies for any inconvenience. Pabr Oebris 10:12, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

Please undo creation of my user page. I believe it is up to the user to create their own user page. there are plenty of other red links you could fix first. I will create my own user page when i choose to do so. Pabr Oebris 23:31, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

• The template serves exactly the purpose which is described in it. Once a user has many talk page edits - like you do - is it placed to avoid redlinks in them. You can expand the page or blank it completely - it's your call - but the page itself will stay. Mauser^Comlink 13:21, September 29, 2009 (UTC)

Shadow Syndicate cards

Is there any textual information on the cards to go along with these new pictures? Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:21, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

• There is for Nevar, see what I did for yourself. But for the Okins, the lore is the old line "He owed neither favor nor loyalty to anyone but the Empire itself" and the subtitle is by-the-book, so no new info there. Mauser^Comlink 19:28, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Battle of Quelli

Hey Mauser, due to comments from John Jackson Miller here, I'll be recreating said article.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 17:36, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

• The VIP post is a valid evidence, so no objections from me. Good luck with Project KOTOR baddies. Mauser^Comlink 17:40, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Scenarios

You've tagged several articles I maintain with Galaxies TCG update tags; since you seem to know what's in them, where might I find information on these scenarios, that I might update the articles? Havac 23:33, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

• You need to have either Star Wars Galaxies, or a standalone Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game Client. In the latter case, you would also need to have a valid (or even former) SWG subscription to play the game scenarios. I could help with you with that, but having no subscription myself, I can only see from the free part of the game that those characters are involved in the storyline, not what their exact actions are. Mauser^Comlink 02:27, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
• You may also look at Lando Calrissian/Legends#Precursor to war (last part of the section) to see what I'm talking about. Mauser^Comlink 05:26, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
  • I see. Thanks. Havac 21:16, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Databank updates

I 100% disagree with your point: A mention to Bib Fortuna would always be a source mentioning Twi'leks, including not only the Databank but also any other source or appearance. A comic-book commonly does not mention the species, only depict it. When I try to improve an article on a species, I try to track sources mentioning any individual of that species.

However, if that's your opinion, and I cannot convince you of the opposite, be sure to track my contribution history, as I've modified species that are not mentioned in the Databank list (such as Glymphid). I've also taken care to systematically use the tag "Imo" for the case you mention, so it would not be hard for you.

I also updated an individual's source list particularly if there was a mention to that person that did not include the species, so the information would not be lost in case it is needed.--Skippy Farlstendoiro 18:16, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Sorry to butt in, but I agree with Skippy. Speaking as someone who writes and edits a lot of species articles, having a thorough list of sources and appearances (in the style that Skippy has done) is extremely helpful when trying to track down random tidbits about that species or a member of that species. I think our articles should include the {{Imo}} tag in such cases to make it easier to track down these references, which may very well add new data. ~ SavageBob 19:23, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

But this has not been our established precedent, as I have pointed out in case with Kowakian's on Skippy's talk page. Besides, an indirect mention of a species would be something like "a species that can use pheromones to affect others", not just "Xizor". I am checking some databank entries I remove from the lists at random, and none of them had a tiny bit of a mention of the spoken species, except for a mention of an individual. Mauser^Comlink 19:28, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Where is the policy on this, by the way? If we're wrong, we're wrong, but it'd be nice to see where this is written so we can be sure to adhere. ~ SavageBob 00:23, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

I don't think there is a policy, but it is the established precedent, that applies to all of our articles, including FAs.

Luminara/Mirialan

Just thought I'd explain my reasoning behind removing Holocron Heist from the Appearances list for both the Luminara Unduli and Mirialan articles. While you and I may know that it was her they showed walking down the corridor of the temple, they never showed her face and therefore, we cannot just assume it was her. There is no source that states that particular type of outfit is exclusively worn by Luminara or Mirialan Jedi. If an official source states she appeared in the episode, I'll gladly add the Appearance back in myself. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 19:28, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

• I just know we have another "Gha Nachkt at Ziro's Palace" case here, so I'm not even going to argue. Mauser^Comlink 19:30, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
  • Keep in mind, I agree that it is Luminara, just as it is Gha Nachkt in Ziro's Palace. But unless we have official confirmation of it, we cannot include speculation. However, at least with Gha Nachkt, the two individuals look identical, you can see their face and outfit. But in the Luminara case, you never see a face, and Jedi garb from the back is fairly nondescript. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 19:34, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Devaron battles

Hey Mauser, just to clarify this, DjMack had no right to take the article. I had already signed up to rewrite the article, a few days before CoD aired. I plan on working on this article soon. JangFett ^(Talk) 14:39, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

• This is a wiki. Anyone can work on any article. You had no {{Inuse}} tag. End of story. You may rewrite the article if you wish, but you should not remove the sourced content, because that is vandalism. Mauser^Comlink 14:42, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
  • I already had taken care of this problem, Mauser, sorry for the misunderstanding. DjMack will continue to write the article, and we might turn this into a co-project. JangFett ^(Talk) 14:46, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
    • You've taken the project on the WP:TCW page, but random users are not required to check all Wookieeprojects any time they want to edit an article. There was no {{inuse}} and no {{Wip}}, his edits were perfectly legit. By the way, between the two of you, why don't you merge those two articles already? Mauser^Comlink 14:51, October 4, 2009 (UTC)

Children of the force missions

Were you planning on working on them anymore than you have? If not I wanted to. DjMack 13:41, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

• I'm already working on most of them, actually. But I only plan to create the articles, after that you may continue work on them to take them to GA/FA if you want to. Mauser^Comlink 13:44, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Republic Heroes

I'm planning on eventually getting to them. You're welcome to update them right now, and I'll probably just run a check over them once I get the game. CC7567 ^(talk) 18:18, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Republic Heroes

Just one thing. Had you a problem to activate the fisrt generator in the first Ryloth mission. I have a problem and I want to know if you must do something special or there is just a problem with the game. --Clone Commander Lee ^Talk 18:24, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

• Sorry, I already forgot how I get through that part. I might start a second walkthrough soon, though. Mauser^Comlink 18:34, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
  • Ah, please inform me if you do so. No need to apologize. I planned to work on Kano but if I not proceed, that won't be possible. --Clone Commander Lee ^Talk 18:36, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Valid reason

Why isn't a non-canon red link a valid reason? - JEA13 ^[iTalk] 12:55, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

• Users can have as many internal, external, blue or red links on their pages, as they seem fit. Redlinks on userpages aren't actually hurting anybody. Valid reasons for editing userpages would be: removing vandalism or unwanted edits (as I did) or applying a maintenance template such as {{banned}} or {{inactive}}. Mauser^Comlink 13:06, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
  • Oh, I see. Is there any sort of policy about this?- JEA13 ^[iTalk] 13:14, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
    • I'm sot sure about the policy, but this has been a general understanding for a long time. Mauser^Comlink 13:18, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
      • I'll keep that in mind then. By the way, are you going to be on my tracks for a long time? - JEA13 ^[iTalk] 13:24, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
        • Keep in mind that some species' names are canonically written in the lowercase, t'landa Til is the best known example. And seen as fftssftt's name was specifically referenced and {{Title}} was used to make it appear in the lowercase, it looks like it is another one. And yes, as a recent changes patroller I try to keep tracks on all edits made by users I am not familiar with. You are no exception. Mauser^Comlink 13:29, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
          • Well, there's not much to edit on this perfect wiki. I am just trying to improve my general editcount by making every kind of edits (some of which turn out silly) and maybe hit new friends who will find me by clicking on my name while undoing my edits (hehe). Nice talking with you and see you around! - JEA13 ^[iTalk] 13:49, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Wookieeproject Massive Damage

So, I don't need any approval or anything to start an official WookieeProject? DjMack 20:04, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

• I'm not the person to ask. But if you want to cover battle from the Galactic Civil War, you may want to do that under WP:AMB instead. Also, make sure you have at least someone willing to join and contribute. Mauser^Comlink 20:06, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Is my Formatting ok on these articles?

Hey Mauser I wondered if you could tell me if my formatting is correct on the Cast & Crew articles I've been creating for A New Hope. Here's an Example: Ray West. Natonstan 14:04, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

• You need to also add {{Eras|real}} to the top of each of those pages. Also, the stub templates add the page to the related stub category automatically, so listing it at the bottom as well is kinda redundant. Otherwise, they are perfectly fine. Mauser^Comlink 14:08, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
  • Thanks, I thought it would be better to check. Natonstan 14:13, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Republic Heroes

Hey Mauser I was wondering if I could trouble you for a few images from Republic Heroes. I need a good image of Resdin and a good image of when Bane has Rex and Boomer prisoner. If this is possible let me know, and thanks in advance. Darth Trayus 30px ^{(Trayus Academy)} 20:34, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

• I'm not sure, if there is a good image of Resdin in the game - it's only one level with few cutscenes. Regarding the second image - I assume you need the image from the cutscene showing all three of them? I'll try to get those soon, but not today probably. Mauser^Comlink 20:49, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
• There you go, best of what the stupid camera would allow me to see. Mauser^Comlink 21:34, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

• Hey Mauser, would you mind getting a picture of the Jedi's fight with Teska at the wreckage pile? It doesn't really matter what stage it's in, just whatever you think will look best in the article. Thanks in advance. CC7567 ^(talk) 03:28, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
  • Errm, which fight are you referring to? The Ryloth one I presume? Mauser^Comlink 17:02, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
    • Yeah, I was, but actually, QuiGonJinn was able to get a screenshot for me. Thanks though. CC7567 ^(talk) 17:12, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

To find out when she build her first lightsaber, simply read her article. Mauser^Comlink 00:23, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Imperial Gunnery Corps

I'm curious as to why my Imperial Gunnery Corps page was erased and made into a redirection, the information on the page was accurate and took some gathering to get.

It looks like you have been taking down other 501st detachment pages as well. May I know the reason? —Unsigned comment by Hbrika (talk • contribs)

• Wookieepedia had recently adopted the new rules for notability of fan projects. According to the new policy, many articles about fan activity - such as fan films, websites and organizations - which were previously considered notable, are no longer eligible to warrant an article here. Specifically, while 501st itself had received wide official recognition and is definitely notable enough to have an article, all its detachments and other subdivisions are not, because the project may have one and only one article. While the information is still technically accessible from the page history and can be retrieved if needed, please note that users are encouraged to create and maintain articles about fan creations on [Star Wars Fan Wiki], a sub-project of Wookieepedia devoted to gathering information about fan activity, while Wookieepedia itself is focusing on official and mostly In-Universe information. Thank you. Mauser^Comlink 00:35, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Battlefront I

Mauser why do you keep deleting the PC/MAC requirements and the behind the scenes stuff for Star Wars: Battlefront article

I admit maybe the PC/MAC req.s could go but the BTS stuff is really good

the dark troopers appearing years before they were made was a big problem before but all of that was fixed in TFU campaign Guide

we'll compromise the PC and Mac reqs can go but I'll add the behind the scenes stuff back in Flamingfool719 14:52, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

• The BTS is good, that's why it is already present in Phase Zero Dark Trooper article, where it belongs. Keeping that in the article about Battlefront would be extremely redundant - there should be material, related to the game as a whole, not just specific units. Mauser^Comlink 16:08, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
• But it was previously listed in the Inconsistencies with Star Wars continuity section and now a source has come along and made a retcon for something in the game it should be noted in the article about the game; people shouldn't have to go farting around looking for info about dark troopers if they are playing the game and say hey dark troopers weren't around yet; they should be able to go to the game's page and see the retcon there; and let's please not urn this into an edit war; just let it goFlamingfool719 16:41, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
  • It was listed in the inconsistencies, now it's not. And the Star Wars: Battlefront should be about the game itself, not the history of a specific unit, especially given that The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide has nothing else to do with Battlefront games. And yes, people should be clicking more links which we've provided and read more pages - that's the philosophy of the wiki. Mauser^Comlink 16:48, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
    • and the game itself had a conflict with existing canon; it was retconned and the BTS tells about this retcon. that is the whole point of the BTS sectionFlamingfool719 20:00, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Blocked

You have been blocked from editing for 3 days for violating the spirit of WP:3RR in your persistent edit warring/reversion behavior, the Tao episode being the latest example. You have a very gung-ho personality, Mauser, which isn't always a good thing on a wiki. You take WP:BOLD to the extreme, which has gotten you in trouble here on Wookieepedia before. When you believe something should be a certain way, you frequently implement these changes unilaterally without speaking to anyone, which is exactly what edit warring is, and what you're doing here once more on Tao. I've warned you once before about this kind of edit warring in a situation virtually identical to this Tao incident, and this is why I'm blocking you now. Because you've already received a warning for this. The reason Wookieepedia treats these articles as ambiguously canon despite being published under the Infinities label is because Leland Chee himself has stated their canonicity is "fuzzy," as you are well aware. And by the guidelines of Wookieepedia's canon policy, we must take these comments into consideration as well, whether you like them or not. Regardless, I'm not here to debate the canonicity of these articles. The point, you came into the IRC channel looking for an administrative blessing to change all of these Manga articles to non-canon, which you didn't get, but then you went and changed everything anyway. And then when you met opposition from others, you duly proceeded to initiate what is turning into another Mauser edit war. Did you take the discussion first to the talk page, as I've directed you to do before, where there is already a section dealing with this debate? Did you even consider speaking to the nominator of this FAN, or even taking this to the FAN page? No, you didn't. You changed the article to Mauser's preferred version and then pulled out the heavy artillery to defend your position. In my opinion, a 3-day block is pretty light, Mauser, so take this brief time out to reconsider your approach to editing and think twice before starting another one of these episodes. To contest this block, please contact the blocking administrator with the reason you believe the block is unjustified. Toprawa and Ralltiir 15:36, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

Tao

Just wanted to let you know that not everything published under the Infinities label is necessarily non-canon. Take Resurrection for example; it was published in Star Wars Tales 9, which was labeled Infinities. However, according to Chee, it is canon. Taking that into account, I think it's best to leave Tao's status ambiguous. QuiGonJinn 20px^(Talk) 22:37, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Asajj - Republic Heroes

Do you think you could upload an image of Ventress on Alzoc III? We could use it for the article. Lord KOT 17:35, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

• Which one - spying on the Jedi, conversation with Dooku, duel with Aayla and Luminara? Mauser^Comlink 17:54, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
  • Whatever you see fit! Lord KOT 22:55, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
    • How about when confronting Aayla and Luminara? That sounds good. Lord KOT 01:16, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
      • I tried to get a good screenshot of that scene, but the cutscene is just too short and the gameplay shot looks awful. Mauser^Comlink 03:21, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
        • Okay, go with the Tyranus conversation. Lord KOT 22:15, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

2.1 Page created - Falumba

Hello, Mauser. I'm new here, and I just wanted to ask about your edits to my article on the Falumba creature. I don't mind it being edited. I'd just like to learn about the accepted formats, information included, etc. I noticed you took out the Chapter and page number where the mention occurs. Is this not usually done? I thought I read somewhere that it would be good to mention page numbers if you knew them. Also, you seem pretty insistent on saying "The falumba was a creature." rather than "The falumba is a creature." Is there a reason for this? Thanks for any help you can provide! I hope to learn the ins and outs of editing and creating articles on Wookieepedia so that I can continue to contribute without stepping on anyone's toes. LiquidAu 19:32, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

• Per WP:MOS#Tense, all in-universe articles should be in past tense. Also, citing page number is useful only when it's taken from the first edition, otherwise it would be just confusing. Are you sure you refer to original, 1984 edition of the novel? Mauser^Comlink 19:51, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
  • Duh, that makes sense now. "A long time ago..." Yeah, when I mentioned the page number and chapter, I also linked it to The Lando Calrissian Adventures so that people would know that it was referring to the July 1994 edition that combined all three novels featuring Lando Calrissian.LiquidAu 20:11, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Clearing out Category:Verify

I cleared out all the notability challenges that passed a prima facie showing of "non-trivial content," and the remaining debris can be deleted, as far as I'm concerned, but the way I see it, arguing for the deletion of these fan projects should be done one of two ways: (1) Trash compactor votes, or (2) Convincing a handful of admins on IRC the files can be deleted as per existing policy. Cluttering up the "Verify" category is troublesome because it impedes the purpose of the category: to track all unverified articles so we know when they hit the 7-day expiration date. The issue isn't closed, nor will I be accusing anyone of a violation of they go through with deletions due to notability. But let's keep the Verify category confined to unverified articles, to avoid confusion. Enochf 09:06, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Artist sites

FYI, being from the artist website absolutely does not make an image more accurate or official. I've seen more than one instance where the image shown on the artist site was different from the published image in the sourcebook, magazine, etc because the client tweaked it slightly prior to publishing. The images from Carlisle's site are no better quality than the one's I uploaded. The only difference is I whited the background on one and fixed the contrast on them. - JMAS ^{20px Hey, it's me!} 00:35, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

• An example is on File:Basspotj2.jpg where I took the image from the JATM and cleaned it up by removing the glowy haze surrounding Baas and overwrote the image from Carlisle's site. Culator felt it was an improvement and deleted the old revision. - JMAS ^{20px Hey, it's me!} 00:40, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
• After second examination, I tend to agree. Feel free to revert me back. Mauser^Comlink 00:40, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
• Will do. Thanks for the consideration. - JMAS ^{20px Hey, it's me!} 00:41, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

SW Naming Convention

Just wondering if you were personally planning on writing up a new policy for including "Star Wars" in the names of media, or if you knew of anyone who is. —Milo Fett^[Comlink] 02:38, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

• No and No. It is a complicated matter and I don't want to start any arguments about that. Mauser^Comlink 04:11, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
  • Yeah, I figured. I'd like to, but considering the way my last CT went... —Milo Fett^[Comlink] 04:27, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

WP:TCW

Hello everyone, this is CC7567 from WookieeProject The Clone Wars. It is currently six months after the project was started, and the number of individual projects is steadily growing. While I am happy that so many of you are writing for the WookieeProject, the majority of articles there have been sitting there for months. Several users even have ten projects or more at the moment, and I am frankly just disappointed at the level of inactivity that is befalling our articles. I understand that many of you have other obligations, and while I respect that, the responsibility falls to you to judge whether or not you're still capable of writing all of these articles, whether in time or in energy. For this reason, I once again urge you to reconsider your current projects. The criteria should be that you have the unrelenting intent to finish all of your projects within the next month. I myself have had to reconsider my own projects on account of real-life time constraints. I do not want to have to set a limit to the number of projects per user, but if it comes down to that, I will, because I do not want to see the project deteriorate and hope that you do not want to either. Thank you. CC7567 (talk) 19:22, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

Republic Heroes

Hey Mauser. When you get the chance, I'd like to request some more images from Republic Heroes, mainly centered around Rex. The first one is of Rex and Boomer's night patrol of Resdin in the cutscene prior to the gameplay, when the two are talking on their AT-RTs. For the second one, I'm trying to decide between two images and would appreciate it if you humor me: the first choice is in the cutscene after Teska's fight with the clones, when Rex is in the left of the frame and Teska is on the right, and the second is basically just any shot of Skywalker, Tano, Rex, and Boomer after Teska escapes. The third is shortly after Skywalker, Tano, and Amidala jump onto the Twilight on Behpour and meet with Rex, Kenobi, and Cody. Please take your time with these, as I know it's a lot to request at once. Thank you in advance. CC7567 ^(talk) 05:10, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

• Here they are. The image of night patrol is completely off-focus, but I cannot get anything better, since the camera is shacking to match AT-RT movements. For the showdown with Teska I got both images you asked, and also managed to snap a pretty cool shot of Rex and Boomer and action which I think you could you. Just let me know which images you pick, I will put the rest in some other articles. Oh, and feel free to create a new subheading for the request - it's kinda hard to find the new message if it's not in the last three subheadings. Mauser^Comlink 07:17, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

• Thanks very much, Mauser! At this point, I don't think I'm going to be using the "Ryloth aftermath" image, as in retrospect, it doesn't really make sense why they're mindlessly staring into space. I'm leaning toward the "Rex & Boomer" picture for the fight with Teska section, but I'm not entirely sure yet. Thanks again for your help. :) CC7567 ^(talk) 07:32, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Bartender distance learning

I've seen your edit to Wuher as of November 7th at 9:36. You added that "His original training in the field came from a correspondence school", with that statement being referenced to this card. Following that link, the card apparently reads only Wuher, unit. Exert this unit and deal 1 damage to it → Gain 1 power. I can find no reference to the correspondence school there. Is there something I'm missing? --Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:08, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

• The cards in this game are digital, which means that whenever another effect modifies the card's stats or game text, it actually reflects on the image. Same goes with the card lore: whenever it does not fit because of the game text, it is simply removed from the main image, but can still be accessed by clicking on the datapad icon in the lower right corner of the card. I used to pretty much ignore that function, focusing on cards' title and image, but now, that I found that those lore bits sometime contain new info, I systematically go through all of them, adding every bit of that info to the Wook and referencing it accordingly. Still in the middle of the process though. Mauser^Comlink 11:20, November 10, 2009 (UTC)
  • Oh. Thank you for the explanation, and keep up the good job, then. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 11:33, November 10, 2009 (UTC)

TFU template

Hey Mauser. I saw the new {{TFU}} template you made for appearances sections in TFU-related articles and I was wondering how easy it would be to tweak it a little. My idea would be to change the USE parameter to one where you type a certain word (art, comic, prima and so on) that would cause it to show one of any of the other products, as opposed to just the game. In my opinion, it looks a little odd only having the game being used in the template. Thanks, Nayayen18px^(talk) 13:45, November 13, 2009 (UTC)

• Thank you, but no. Like {{TCW}}, the template is meant for the game alone, not for the whole multimedia product. The reason I created it in the first place is because of so many game versions - 8 different platforms, 3 alternate storylines, 2 downloadable levels, multitude of playable models, and now the Sith Edition - almost every item requires some sort of a commentary in the appearances section, and I just came up with a way to list them in a universal way. There is no need to confuse people by adding comic, novel and other merchandise to this template. Mauser^Comlink 18:13, November 13, 2009 (UTC)
  • Ah, I see. Yes, that would be confusing. Nayayen18px^(talk) 08:42, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Appearances

Is there a source that places General Grievous, Secrets of the Jedi, Forever Young, Jedi Trial, etc. after TCW? —Milo Fett^[Comlink] 16:19, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

• Not at all. There is no way to combine the old Clone Wars material and new The Clone Wars material into the same timeline without big continuity conflicts. More than that, even with TCW itself we have to way to tell the order in which episodes, comics, webcomics, novels and children books take place - unless we have storyline anchors, it is all pure conjecture. But, to make it all encyclopedic, we have {{TCWRetcon}}. Add it to the top of every page, where order of appearances is uncertain, and it should do fine. Mauser^Comlink 16:39, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
  • Right, I helped create that template. :P I was just wondering because you moved some appearances on Clone trooper and I thought it might have been because they finally released some fragment of a timeline. —Milo Fett^[Comlink] 17:01, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
    • I was just moving some stories around the Medstar duology after the TCW, because Barriss is knighted in those books, placing them after the TV series. Mauser^Comlink 17:20, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
      • Ok, just making sure. I can't be the only one who's on the lookout for any sign of a timeline... —Milo Fett^[Comlink] 17:23, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Deletion

Before you come asking what happened to it, I've deleted the TFU citation template you've created because it's just unnecessary, and we're beginning to go overboard with these image citation templates. It's fine when we use them sparingly as we are currently, but we don't need to expand this into video games. If you're going to create one for TFU, then you need to create one for every similar video game (the X-wing series is next) and multimedia project (Shadows of the Empire), and before you know it, everything has a citation template. So I'm putting a stop to it here. For future reference, please gain community consensus before creating another template of this sort. Please go back and rectify the redlinks where the template once was. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:22, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
