Thanks

Thanks for updating IG-88A. Chack Jadson (Talk) 21:14, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

Rianna

Hey, Mauser. You seem to have access to Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game, so I thought I'd ask you. Is there any new information on Rianna Saren? QuiGonJinn 20px(Talk) 20:16, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

  • Nothing important. Just an image - which I may upload eventually - and a quote from Leia: "She has an inner strength that few possess. I am glad she is working with us". MauserComlink 20:46, November 19, 2009 (UTC)

SWG TCG

OK, I need a tutorial from ya. I've download the Station Launcher for the TCG. Like you, I don't have a SWG membership. How do find the artist information for all the cards and all the information about the card background and scenarios like you do? - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 00:08, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

  • Once you start the application, there is a collection button at the bottom, which will show all products available to purchase, including most of the cards. Use the arrows to navigate, hold the cursor over the smaller image to get a pop-up of the original size. Also, on the smaller image, you may click on the datapad icon in the lower right corner to have the gametext replaced by the card's lore. To switch between views, in the collection manager there are two buttons at the top - one for showing each cards and one for presenting all information as the table. In that second mode you can see, in addition to card's stats and gametext, the artist who worked on it - it's the column to the right of all others. If you don't have the subscription, most of the scenario information can still be accessed - it is simply stored in Program Files\Sony\Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game\data.dat file. The only things you would not be able to see are Heroic Encounter cards (IG-88, Tusken King and Exar Kun) and special scenario avatars - like Booster Terrik this month. Hope that helps, feel free to ask anything else. MauserComlink 09:28, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

From the TNR card set: I've got the card image cropped and ready to upload, but no information handy to create an article for Holocron of Heresies. If you can create an article, I'll add the image. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 13:56, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

  • Yeah, it's my fault that I stopped processing the set midway, I'm about to get back on track - checking all cards consistently. This particular Holocron - if you get a closer look - had the phrase "In umbris potestas est" written on it, so I just going to assume this is Darth Andeddu's holocron for now. MauserComlink 13:59, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

OK, I have access to all the cards (with lore info) but how do I access the scenario info? - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 18:25, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

  • I assume from the file I posted on Rapidshare, right? Well, it has all the images up-to-date, but the scenario info I am yet to convert into textual form. Once done, I will simply post it here, but for now I am yet to extract it from the game files. MauserComlink 18:29, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
    • That was your rapidshare file? *LOL* I should have figured since it was so complete with both lore and game info "sides" of the card. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 18:33, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Since we both know when they release new wallpapers on the SWGTCG website, doesn't mean they corresponded with most recently released card set, can you confirm this image has the right card set as the source? - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 21:08, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

  • Nope. This isn't from any of the cards I've seen. Also, please feel free to create a new heading instead of resurrecting old discussion. MauserComlink 21:20, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
    • OK, if you prefer, from here on out, I can create a new heading for each SWGTCG query. Is that what you'd prefer? I would suggest archiving some of these older headings on your talk page then though. A lot of people will assume that if it's still on the talk page, it's still active to post under. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 21:36, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
      • Yes, a new heading for each question would be much better. Also, I prefer to archive each 50 headings, so it's a little early for now yet. =) MauserComlink 21:37, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Kathor

As I stated in the Kathor article's page, its been linked to the Helix page for quite some time and nobodies taken the time to make a page for it. I don't have access to the Helix's source material so I can't tell you which source actually lists it but I'm sure someone in the wiki does. --Kahn Iceay 22:04, November 21, 2009 (UTC)

  • Then it must be left as a redlink. If you don't have access to the source, do not add any information from it. MauserComlink 09:57, November 22, 2009 (UTC)

The Starfighter

My bad, but it looks like the Kihraxz light fighter should have at least two guns based on the picture shown. —Unsigned comment by IconicJester (talk • contribs)

Short stories and article titles

Hey, Mauser. I don't want to get into a silly edit war over something like whether to italicize or put short story titles in quotes, but every style guide I've ever seen says that quotes are used for short stories and magazine articles. I'm not sure why folks here are insisting on italics. And if there's no rule, why do we need to use italics? Again, either way I can live with, but the writer in me cringes to see us fly in the face of all of the established style guides! :O ~ SavageBob 17:07, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

  • There is no such rule or guideline as far as I am aware of. In fact, we specifically decided not to create one. MauserComlink 17:09, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
    • Hey, thanks for the link. I'm specifically talking about style guides in the real world, though. Check MLA, the Chicago Manual of Style, APA, or pretty much any guide at all, and you'll see what I'm talking about. But as for Wookieepedia policy or lack thereof, I guess my question boils down to this: If I, as the original expander of the article, chose quotes for those articles, but someone comes by later and wants to use italics, how do we decide who to side with? The original editor, or whoever came last? Again, this is small bananas in the grand scheme of things, but I work in publishing in the real world, so I'd like to see us look as professional as possible. (And please know that I'm coming to you as a friend, not as an enemy! Everything comes off colder and angrier in text. I'm not angry! :)) ~ SavageBob 17:49, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
      • I honestly have no idea how real-world publishing companies treat those, because I'm not a native English speaker. All I know is that Wookieepedia has no set precedent and italics simply look better. MauserComlink 18:12, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
        • If I may interject, Wookieepedia does have a set precedent, and it's to use italics, regardless of what any real-world APA or MLA style guide might dictate. We are not bound by their guidelines. The CT forum Mauser linked to indeed shows that there was no consensus concerning implementation of quotation marks in favor of italics in any circumstance, so to answer Bob's question, we should revert back to what we've historically always done, which is to use italics until a change is made to the site Manual of Style and Layout Guide. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:18, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
          • Wait, so the "no consensus" of that CT really means "use italics"? I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing, but I thought "no consensus" meant either was OK. Can you explain, Tope? ~ SavageBob 20:45, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
            • No consensus means no consensus; just be consistent within the article. That is how I've always interpreted that CT. --Eyrezer 21:57, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

Image caching

Are you sure it wasn't your browser cache that wasn't updating? Unless the the wikia caching somehow reverted back to a date several weeks ago (which isn't out of the realm of possibility knowing wikia), that image of Rex was displaying the cleaned up version. *shrug* Either way, I usually wait to try the forced cache updating until I've checked on multiple machines, cleared the browser cache several times, and then, if that still doesn't work, marking the image {{FTBR}} forces the update when the file gets moved. Just some suggestions. :) - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 20:50, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

  • I tried some of that too, but the latest upload got it right. Thanks for the suggestions though. MauserComlink 20:57, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

AZ-series battle droid

I've had that image cropped and ready to go from Argyle's website for some time now, but until it can be confirmed by someone that the image appears in Scavenger's Guide to Droids, being from the artist's site doesn't make it an official image. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 04:48, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

  • I know, my fault. I don't have the book yet, so I couldn't check. MauserComlink 12:50, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

OK, 'fess up

OK, Mauser, 'fess up. ;) That image of Artoo from SWGTCG is clearly cropped from a wallpaper-size image, but there haven't been any new wallpapers added to the official site for some time now. What gives? Where'd ya get it? - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 20:22, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

  • Nevermind. Don't know how I completely missed that one all this time. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 20:24, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
    • Errm, it's on the game site's main gallery and has been there since July. =) MauserComlink 20:25, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

About Trap

So he is supposed to refer to female jedi as "sir"?

--Wifout Teef 21:41, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

  • He could call her either "sir" or "ma'am", both are used quite often and both are correct. MauserComlink 21:42, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Gearshift

OK, I was about to add the {{Verify}} template to the Gearshift article when I see you placed it there already and then removed it. What source verifies the name? I don't recall hearing it uttered in the episode, and if it was, can we confirm that the image presented is in fact Gearshift? - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 20:24, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

  • I checked the episode, and just like it says on the talk page, the trooper's companions shouts what sounds very much like "Gearshift", when the trooper is dragged into the hole. You may still add {{Conjecturespell}} as you wish, but the name is canonical. MauserComlink 20:35, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Thunderflare

Hi, that was a quick edit/redirect at the new page I was working on. Where does it state that the Star Destroyer in the opening of ROTJ is the Thunderflare? I have searched for days at all star destroyer-pages including the Thunderflare, and found no info on that particular destroyer. Thus the new page I just started to create. Love to hear info on this, since I've found none. Regards --Draii 20:48, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

  • I don't know, honestly. The page - and the image titled Thunderflare were already there. The uploader of the image probably knows better.MauserComlink 20:52, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
    • Okay, now I am confused. If you don't know that the Destroyer I was making a page for, was the Thunderflare, why direct it to that page? Or am I missing something? I'm new to making pages here, so it's possible that I misunderstand something. --Draii 20:57, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
      • Oh, an admin just corrected me. Looks like it's in fact the Avenger. MauserComlink 21:00, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
        • The Star Destroyer in question the is the Avenger, according to Star Wars: Behind the Magic and 25 Years of Return of the Jedi! at the very least. Those are the two sources that immediately come to mind; I believe there are others. Since the Star Destroyer is not "unidentified," the redirect has been deleted. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:01, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
          • Right, and Thunderflare's here. Thanks, Toprawa. MauserComlink 21:07, December 7, 2009 (UTC)
            • Avenger makes more sense, since I think the Destroyer in question is a Class-II like Avenger. But I see no information on the Avenger-page that Vader arrived in it i ROTJ. Anyone with right sources care to add it? --Draii 21:10, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Infoboxes

Hey Mauser, can you do me a favor? If you have an image that is cropped to only 250px wide (or smaller), can you please put the [[:File:Imagename.jpg|250px]] designator in the infobox anyway. That way, if myself, or anyone else overwrites the image with a larger size, it doesn't blow up the infobox. I happened to catch the couple I did today, but in the future, it would be helpful. Thanks. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 15:05, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

Voor (Captain)

I found the specific issue. Is it okay if I remove Template:Verify?—B-Boba Fett! Make the check out to "Boba Fett" 20px 16:20, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

If I may butt in, you're free to do that. To cite {{verify}}: "After the article has been provided with adequate source and/or appearance information, you may remove this message." --Xd1358 Talk 16:23, December 10, 2009 (UTC)

Bikov's edits

As far as I can tell, there's nothing wrong with Bikov adding the date of death to those clone trooper articles, seeing as the text apparently supports the fact that they died. Or is that information incorrect? It's been a while since I've read those issues, and I can't seem to find them. Grand Moff Tranner 20px (Comlink) 20:21, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

  • My bad, I just checked the issue and those ones do in fact die in the story. I must have mistaken them for the other band, which makes the escape. My apologize. MauserComlink 20:28, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

Love the page

Your section "If Wookiepedians Wrote Fiction" was hilarious, I lol'd because it's so true. —Unsigned comment by Darthkenobi0 (talk • contribs)

Re:

If an page is part of a subcategory then obviously it should also be part of that subcategory's parent category as well. For example the fact that the T-65 X-wing starfighter was used by the Rebel Alliance does not mean that the T-65 X-wing starfighter is not a starfighter class. If that were true then the starfighter class parent category would be empty because every starfighter class is used by a faction. Roguestar 18:31, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

  • Well, that is right, ideally the parent category should be empty. And if the page is located in any subcategory, that means is it already present in the parent category as well. That's the whole purpose of the categorization: to sort articles by the most specific characteristic possible by moving them down the category tree. Otherwise we would have to put every article in the Category:Star Wars. MauserComlink 05:27, December 17, 2009 (UTC)

Strange Glitch

Hey Mauser wondered if you could help, for some reason Im getting told I have new messages yet I go to my Talk page and their is none, and even when I click on another page it keeps alerting me of a new message, any ideas? Natonstan 13:23, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

  • Check again please. MauserComlink 13:29, December 18, 2009 (UTC)
  • Ah I found it, Thanks for the advice I definitely understand how to do it now. Natonstan 13:43, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Revert

Hey Mauser. Why did you revert me edit; I think that using {{C}} within an infobox is quite unnecessary, since the text is already small. --Xd1358 Talk 18:16, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

  • Hmm, maybe you're right. Apologize. MauserComlink 18:22, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Darth Plagueis

Hello. The name of Michael Gambon was really contemplated to Darth Plagueis as you can see in the image File:Plagueis concepts.jpg. Why that information has been removed from the page?

--Arth sidious 19:34, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

  • I have no idea who Michael Gambon is, nor am I familiar with appearance. I also see nothing in the image you linked to that indicates his likeness was used for Plagueis. MauserComlink 19:41, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
    • Perhaps you can't read the name in that image, but I do have this book and I know that it's written under the 4th face in the 4th line. If you don't know him, Michael Gambon is famous all arround the world for films as Harry Potter, Sleepy Hollow, Layer Cake, The Omen, and other movies. You can ask anyone who has this book. There is a larger image of this page: [1]. And here is his page at IMDB: [2].

--Arth sidious 20:13, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

      • Alright, now I see that the information can potentially be true. However, Darth Plagueis is currently a Featured article, which means that it has already been reviewed by respected users. Addition of trivial information such as a name of the actor used as a possible inspiration may be considered trivial and unnecessary for the article of established quality, I suggest you contact Lord Hydronium, the nominator of the article about that. MauserComlink 20:24, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

Help me!

How exactly do i get teh whole big sidebar thing that shows where you were born and your name and so on? And how do i get those boxes below it on the side that say this user likes the sith or something like that?--Admiral mark 21:15, December 23, 2009 (UTC)

  • Go to the page Template:User infobox#Code and copy it to your page, replacing the values on the right with the respective information. Then, read Wookieepedia:Userboxes and look here to find some for you. However, while editing your page please refer to our User page policy and, most importantly, remember that Your user page is not your primary contribution to this wiki.

Kamlin

Hello, Mauser. Thanks for updating the appearance list for Kamlin. Since you have the comic, is there anything in there that should be added to the article? Is she just mentioned as one of the massacred padawans, or is she mentioned by name? Is anything said about her? Just trying to double check. Thanks. — Fiolli {Alpheridies University ComNet} 18:07, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

  • I'd say that all info you might find interesting is already located here. Unlike Shel Jelavan the update would be really small, probably the same one as for Oojoh. MauserComlink 18:14, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
    • Great. Is Kamlin mentioned by name or her gender referred to? Also, is her sister involved in a conversation that mentions her in any way? — Fiolli {Alpheridies University ComNet} 18:17, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
      • Yes, Zayne mentions Kamlin directly by introducing her sister (who has no lines though), no direct confirmation on the gender though. He just reveals that the relatives of other padawans (including Shel) were the ones who helped him since the Vindication. MauserComlink 18:21, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Help!!

Mauser, I need you! I have just been blocked for one week for continued dissruption. By Topwata and Raltir, why? Because for deffending Galen Marik because he was beeing abused by Grand Moff Trainer and Dr.Kermit. But according to the article about admins, He was supposed to give my three warning before he blocked me, but he gave me none! Even though I was not causing any. If you want to read the whole problem yourself, then go to these users talk pages. As well as the lightsaber disscution article (that is where it is started) I know you are a buisy man. But I really need you help. I would be utmost gratefull if you could help me. I also know that Topwatta and Raltir is always handling things recklessly. I have also consulted other uses about this situation. Most agree with me. I also think you should take his place as administrator. But one last thing: I you plan to help me, then don't got to his talkpage and leave a message. For he will block you too, and consult other admins. But no matter what, you will always be my friend.

May the force be with you, always

New items!!

Hey Mauser! I'd hate to interrupt, but there's some new stuff to get your hands on, some Clone Wars episodes. I'd think that that the Unidentified Mandalorian in Season 2 would appear in the episode The Mandalore Plot, wouldn't you? I dunno. Also, if the user User:JangFett is one of your friends, then tell him that in Grievous Intrigue Eeth Koth is Agen Kolar, so he can change it to Agen Kolar? If not, then tell me. Yours sincerly, Trooper Denal

  • And, since I'm new, I don't know how to change articles like from undead to zombie, or to put user before it. Trooper Denal again.
    • Unless we have a confirmation that the scene from the trailer will appear in that episode, we will not add any new info. Regarding the Koth/Kolar issue - I wan not involved in the recent edit war, I prefer to simply wait for the episode and work with it, instead of trying to make sense of the bits of random info. To sign your post, simply type ~~~~. MauserComlink 04:43, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
      • K, ya got me there with the no trailer. Just a note for ya, do you want to become friends and edit stuff together? ````Trooper Denal````
        • No not create a new heading for each reply, leave your text under the same heading with some formatting. Also, I'm not sure what you mean by "friends" - this is not Facebook and not MySpace. Here, we edit stuff, while contacting each other when in need of any help - and that's it. MauserComlink 06:41, December 28, 2009 (UTC)

A quick reminder

Just a quick reminder that the Wookieepedia policy is to only use punctuation in image captions of the caption is a grammatically proper complete sentence. :) - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 15:44, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

  • Thanks, I completely forgot of that one. MauserComlink 15:45, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Just as an FYI, per a CT about galleries: small demonstrative galleries are permitted on a case by case basis. And I believe the one in the tauntaun article warrants it because it illustrates two distinctive concept designs for the tauntaun. I'd ask you to kindly not revert it again. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 21:05, December 30, 2009 (UTC)

Hoth

Are you sure that this battle took place in 2 BBY and not 2 ABY? I'm not familiar with the source, but judging by the text (i.e. Han Solo's and Col Serra's participation in the Rebellion), it should take place after the Battle of Yavin. Just making sure. QuiGonJinn 20px(Talk) 21:50, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

  • Facepalm. Of course is should be 2 ABY, I must have overlooked the text that I copy-pasted. Please don't move it right now, as I'm still editing it and will move it when done. Thanks for catching. (Facepalms again) MauserComlink 21:52, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Battle of Saleucami

Hi there...Have a question here! Why did you revert the article I edited about the First \battle of Saleucami and left as it was before, empty? —Unsigned comment by Dangrievous (talk • contribs)

  • First of all, learn to create a new subheading for your posts and sign them by typing ~~~~. Regarding the reverts - the article currently has an {{Inuse}} template up, which means that another user - in this case Dark Lord Trayus is currently working on it and is politely asking you not to interfere with his work. If yuo want to add something to the article - ask him first. MauserComlink 23:10, January 3, 2010 (UTC)

Ok, whatever, if that is how that is, I will leave the article alone to Dark Lord to continue with his work. I had no idea it was such a deal with rules and people have to wait in line. I will leave the editing of important pages to you Jedi Librarians. I won't want to get in the way... Bye and cheers! --Dangrievous 23:18, January 3, 2010 (UTC)Dangrievous

Printing articles

Hey! I was just wondering if you might be able to tell why I can't print Wookieepedia articles. I've tried on about 5 different printers and they all cram the article onto the right half of the page. I am collecting articles so that I can read them even when I don't have Internet access. I have gone to the printable versions, but that didn't help. Thanks and God bless! Master Fredcerique 22:55, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

  • My best guess would be that if you're trying to print the web pages straight, the html coding somehow screws the formatting. I advise you to try to copy the text along with images into the MS Word (or a similar program) and arrange the formatting the way you want to print it. But... you don't indent to print all our 222,361 articles, do you? MauserComlink 23:00, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
  • I tried puting it on MS Word, but I couldn't make it look right. I haven't tried formating it differently, though. I'll have to experiment. And yes, I do plan on printing as many as possible. I currently have 218. I know, I'm obsessed.Thanks and God bless! Master Fredcerique 23:12, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

SW:TCG cards

Hi, Mauser. I've noticed that you've added information and pictures from quite a few SW:TCG cards in the past few months. I'm looking for a card, Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game — Galactic Hunters Card: Ree-Yees (backup link), but I can't seem to find a picture of it anywhere online. How can I find SW:TCG cards? I'd at least like to see this one to see what it says about Bubo the frog-dog. Thanks! ~ SavageBob 05:26, January 7, 2010 (UTC)

  • Well, the picture of Ree-Yees from the card is this one. I added to the list of Bubo's sources because he's mentioned in the lore, so I'll just quote it to you: "Convicted of murder, the Gran hid in Jabba's court on Tatooine and was assigned to protect the dog-like creature Bubo." Not so much as you can see, I added it just for accuracy's sake. MauserComlink 10:29, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
    • OK, thanks for the info! I think there is a nugget in there, the notion that Ree-Yees job was to care for Bubo. ~ SavageBob 16:06, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
      • I think that the card should be listed as a source under frog-dog because of the line "dog-like creature." Even though it doesn't mention frog-dogs by name, it provides information about them: that they are dog-like. Perhaps it just needs the {{Imo}} template. ~ SavageBob 22:58, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
        • Usually I would argue, but if you want to nominate it, feel free to handle it as you like. Besides, {{Imo}} would add accuracy indeed. MauserComlink 23:01, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
          • Don't hold back, now! :) I'll leave it for now; one day I will nominate the article, and I think the Imo template is a good compromise when I update the article again. ~ SavageBob 23:04, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Bubo in The Force Unleashed: Ultimate Sith Edition

Hey, Mauser. Do you remember where exactly you spotted Bubo in The Force Unleashed? I've been looking for him to no avail! Thanks, ~ SavageBob 17:06, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

  • I am pretty sure he's in the scene where Starkiller talks to Jabba in the audience chamber. I was specifically adding appearances from DLC, so I guess I added him for a reason back then. Unfortunately, I don't have the time to check the game again now. MauserComlink 17:08, January 8, 2010 (UTC)
    • OK; I'm good with that. I was basing my search on a YouTube walkthrough, and that player could have simply not gone to the spot where Bubo is hiding. Thanks, ~ SavageBob 17:20, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

RWM

Hey! I'm sorry for recreating the Themes/Pieces section. I didn't notice you were deleting it. I thought I was just forgetting something and it wasn't showing up. Sorry for the confusion. Thanks and God bless! Master Fredcerique 17:12, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Soundtrack infobox

Hey! I was wondering if it would be appropriate for me to create an infobox better designed for soundtracks, or if I should just edit the media infobox currently being used. I personally think we could use a specialized soundtrack infobox. It would contains more detailed information on album-related topics than the current media infobox does. We could even include ratings and things like that. Anyway, thanks and God bless! Master Fredcerique 22:42, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

  • Errm, most likely not. After all, that's what the media infobox is for. It's not like we're on Wikipedia and are going to process thousands of albums - we only got a little over dozens soundtracks in total. I'd say it ain't worth a special Infobox. MauserComlink 01:02, January 10, 2010 (UTC)
    • So I should just edit the existing media infobox to make it fit soundtracks a little better? Master Fredcerique 16:09, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Sephani and Demo

Does the comic explicitly call Sephani and Demo, and any others from their planet for that matter, Human? Since when do Human's have red eyes? And their faces don't look particularly Human. I'm just asking because if the comic doesn't call them Human, then the information needs to be removed. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 13:03, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

  • You right, I haven't though about that. Feel free to make the edits. MauserComlink 13:06, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Query

Do you have the CSWE?--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 17:59, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

  • Nope. MauserComlink 18:00, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
    • Ughhh. Know anybody that does?--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 18:01, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
      • Culator does. Purpillia does too. Just ask someone in the IRC channel. MauserComlink 18:02, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
        • Thanks. About the IRC, I can't access the channel because I have to register my nickname. Don't know how to do that or where to go to do that, which is why I haven't been on as of late.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 18:05, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

Young Reader covers

Mauser, to put it plainly, SW.com is inaccurate. The publisher of the books, Penguin Books, lists the author of all TCW Reader books to be Heather Scott, not Simon Beecroft. In this case, the publisher trumps SW.com. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 19:14, January 12, 2010 (UTC)

  • Well, since a never update includes the different covers, with different authors, I think they are the more accurate ones. MauserComlink 19:19, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
    • Uh, sorry, you lost me. A what update? - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 19:22, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
      • The one with new covers. MauserComlink 19:26, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
        • Sorry, I mean your previous post. And I just figured out you meant to say newer not never. :) Oh, and just because it's new on SW.com, doesn't mean it's more accurate. The publisher, the one's actually creating the books, printing them, should be taken as more accurate that SW.com in this type of case. Particularly when another source of the book cover (ie: the alt cover) list the same author as the publisher. Majority takes precedent. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 19:32, January 12, 2010 (UTC)
          • O-ops, that was a typo. But I think it is obvious that the more recent cover is correct. See, SW.com already posted those covers before, they wouldn't go into trouble of changing the images if it wasn't for reflecting the newer book information.

Cards

I'm not so sure I'm going to be able to download this Rapidshare file given my current restraints. Would you be able to transcribe the text on the wampa cards for me? I think there are only eight cards, so hopefully it shouldn't be too much trouble. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 03:53, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

  • With your attention to detail, you will probably need not only the text, but the images as well. Let's try something else: here are just the 8 cards you need, try downloading that one. MauserComlink 12:36, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Toys

You're welcome. I agree, rebelscum.com has some great photographers. Hopefully we'll get some official artwork of their faces someday, but for now the toys will have to do I guess. Moon Demon 17:11, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Exar Kun heroic

Its been a while since I've played or actually done that heroic, but I am positive that Lingering Harmony, Promised Vengeance, The Executioner and Unquenchable Wrath appear during the fight with Caretaker of the Lost Souls. The other ones do sound familiar, but I'm not 100% on them. Hope this helps. OLIOSTER (talk) 20px 19:30, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

  • Apparently I was only partially right. The Executioner appears with the Caretaker, however, Lingering Harmony, Promised Vengeance, Unquenchable Wrath, and Embraced Chaos all appear during the last battle against Exar Kun. Once these four are dead, Exar Kun Wordbearer appears. Once he is defeated, you fight Exar Kun. Hope this clears things up. OLIOSTER (talk) 20px 19:37, January 15, 2010 (UTC)

Rapidshare

Are there more cards in the set that weren't included in your Rapidshare download as of December 29, that have been added since then? Either way, I'd like to download it again. Somehow, in transferring the files to an external HD, many of the cards got corrupted. Would you mind providing me a link to the rapidshare download? Many thanks. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 04:30, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

  • There's only been a couple of new card released so far, Black Sun Token of Heroism and Azzenaj. If you simply want the links to the Rapidshare archive with the last (and previous) sets, I will simply direct you to this TFN thread. Just follow mine (as "Malachi108") latest posts, I provided links for an archive for each set there. MauserComlink 04:43, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Bib Fortuna

Hello Mauser. I'm writing you because you change my edition of Bib Fortuna yesterday. I added that Fortuna also means Fortune in Portuguese and you delete it. I'm portuguese and I can assure you that Fortune is the english word for Fortuna in portuguese also. I would like to re-edit that page without further re-editions from your part, if you don't mind. —Unsigned comment by 217.129.93.19 (talk • contribs)

  • Don't know what you're talking about. I did not change that part and it's still currently in the article. Sign your comments with ~~~~. MauserComlink 16:22, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Remember

Hey Mauser! Remember to use {{ref}} tags when you source infoboxes. Cheers, Xd1358 Talk 17:32, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

  • I thought that one should use them every time in the box. But, thanks for letting me know, however :) Xd1358 Talk 18:08, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Scenario info

I appreciate all the help you've given with the SWGTCG game interface. Would you mind telling me how to access the scenario info? I can get the artist info, the lore, etc., but I can't seem to figure that out. Thanks in advance. - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 00:43, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

  • The game won't let you see or play them unless your account has been activated (means has current or past SWG subscription), however most of the text from the scenarios is simply stored in the C:\Program Files\Sony\Star Wars Galaxies Trading Card Game\data\campaign.dat file. However, if wish to read them with conclusions not to mention proper formatting, why don't you just look here? MauserComlink 00:49, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
    • And it's very much appreciated, the way you format it and store it. However, in looking at the .dat file, when it opens in notepad, you simply save it as a .html file and then it formats it (for the most part) in nice perfectly formatted paragraphs. ;) The reason is, for an article like Maraki it would have been nice if to be able to complete the article myself by accessing the scenario data rather than creating a one or two sentence stub article until you are able to come along and finish it out. Thank you very much for the information. :) - JMAS 20px Hey, it's me! 00:59, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Holocron of Heresies

Hey Mauser,

I asked JMAS a question, and he directed me to you. That said, I was wondering if you could provide me with the information from The Nightsister's Revenge (or whatever source it comes from) for Darth Andeddu's holocron please. Thanks,—Tommy9281 17px (Mechno-chair) 01:12, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

  • Alright, follow me here. The Image of Andeddu's holocron from Star Wars Republic 63: Striking from the Shadows was based on this famous illustration of a Sith Holocron, originally from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones: The Visual Dictionary. It's the same holocron that has In umbris potestas est written on it in Aurebesh. Later, in Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force Chris Trevas illustrated Andeddu's holocron with more detail, again using image from AOTC VD as a basis. Now, I believe that the Holocron from The Nightsister's Revenge was not originally intended to be Andeddu's - or anyone's specifically for that matter. However, Kieran Yanner obviously used the image from AOTC VD as a visual reference, copying every piece of the ornament and even the Latin phrase, which however would only be seen clearly on a higher-res image. And thus, whenever something looks like a bantha and smells like a bantha, it must be a bantha. By the way, the same would also apply to this image. MauserComlink 01:29, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
    • Yes, I understand all that, and wasn't disputing—I agree with you.:) I just wanted to know what was said about the holocron from The Nightsister's Revenge so that if I chose to work on the article, I could have all the available information. Thanks again for helping me.—Tommy9281 17px (Mechno-chair) 01:38, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
      • Ah, nothing interesting really. The lore is a single line: "With this my strength will know no limit!", which could mean absolutely anything. MauserComlink 01:41, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Lucrehulk-class battleship

For the Lucrehulk-class battleship shouldn't the "batteries of long guns and heavy guns" be added to the ship's profile on the technical specifications even if the exact number is unknown? —Unsigned comment by IconicJester (talk • contribs)

  • Unless you can provide a proper source, no. To sign your posts, just type ~~~~. MauserComlink 04:21, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
    • I know, but it is brought up under Clone Wars-era battleship part of it that it has them. It's just not on the technical specifications..... I was just wondering if there was a reason for that. I'm just trying to get to understand things here is all. I apologize for bothering you on this.

P.S. I don't suppose you can explain to me how to add a comment to an already existing subject? ^-^'
