AZS
Hi Timjer, just to let you know that I left a message to AZS asking him to stop contacting you here on Wookieepedia. I ask you to not reply any further messages from him, if he keeps sending messages let the administration know. Cheers--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 09:54, October 16, 2019 (UTC)
- Yeah you might need to contact Fandom since that's just harassment, but in the mean time if he continues to contact you here on Wookieepedia just contact me or any other member of the admnistration and we will take care of it. --DarthRuiz30 (talk) 10:17, October 16, 2019 (UTC)
Article moves
Hi, Timjer. While I appreciate your quickness in updating the Xyston-class Star Destroyer page after I moved it, please consider in the future that if someone moves the page, then they are also working on editing it and adding information. As such, your edits caused an edit conflict when I went to save the page. Please exercise a little bit of caution in these matters. Thanks, Sir Cavalier of One

- Apologies, I do not wish to dampen your enthusiasm, and I'm glad that you are excited to be editing. Just noting something to watch out for since people generally don't move pages without intending to update them as well. - Sir Cavalier of One

Edits
Hey, please consolidate your edits on Star Wars Complete Vehicles, New Edition, or work on it in a workbench and then add a bunch onto the page itself, thanks --Lewisr (talk) 17:09, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
- No worries, I completely understand what you mean haha! But thank you --Lewisr (talk) 17:18, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
Conqueror
Hey Timjer, does Complete Vehicles include any new info on Conqueror? Asking because you added it to the article's Sources. UberSoldat93 (talk) 18:37, 5 November 2020 (UTC)
OOM-series battle droid
Hello Timjer, I noticed you added OOM-series battle droid to the appearance section of the new Complete Vehicles book. Does this book say anything on their relation to the B1-series battle droid? Specifically, does it claim if they are predecessors to that line? --Editoronthewiki (talk) 01:20, 8 November 2020 (UTC)
- No issue on the late reply. If OOMs are not mentioned, and you've checked the index as well, then I would recommend they be removed as an appearance in this book.--Editoronthewiki (talk) 11:56, 10 November 2020 (UTC)
Cross section images
Hey! I spoke with User:Toprawa and Ralltiir about the cross sections images you were mentioning about, and he said it was fine to use the images, but to crop out the callouts where possible, unless it was in a specs/characteristics section like you did with the Xyston image. He did suggest though for the Xyston image to crop it a little to remove the bottom and top of the image, to crop out some of the border and page numbers --Lewisr (talk) 22:23, 11 November 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah those bits you mentioned, but understandable, not a huge issue and I'm sure eventually someone might be able to crop them out. Like I mentioned if you're using it in the specs/characteristics it would be beneficial to keep them in anyway. Thank you! Don't have any specific need for images, but I'll keep it in mind --Lewisr (talk) 19:59, 12 November 2020 (UTC)
Fostar Haven
It can't be after Hoth because Sloane is away at Fondor during Hoth until she gets back to the Executor after the Ultimatum is destroyed. Canonhaus mentions about Alderaanian refugees and Helix Squadron (clearly referring to Squadrons prologue), since he dies during ESB there's no way it can be after the asteroid chase stuff. Sloane being in command of the Ultimatum and being given the Vigilance during ESB is just a continuity issue. The timeline also doesn't add up either, as 4 years after what you are claiming would be 7 ABY at the earliest, which is well past the end of the GCW --Lewisr (talk) 15:27, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
- Yeah Sloane having the Vigilance during the prologue seems to be the issue, so we'll have to see what the explanation is. No worries its all good! --Lewisr (talk) 15:35, 22 November 2020 (UTC)
Warning
|
|
User warning: Three-Revert Rule.
You have come close to violating, or have already violated, the Three-Revert Rule. If you continue to edit-war, an administrator will block you from editing. Please reconsider your approach, and pay attention to the advice others provide. |
- I'm aware you haven't actually broken the rule, note the warning says "you have come close to violating" too. I understand your rationale for rv'ing, but I don't want to see any edit warring, regardless of the reasoning behind it. Thank you for doing some further investigating though. And I agree, the other user is also at fault here, hence why I left them the warning too. The warning is merely to inform you that you would have been blocked should you continue, and to give you links to the relevant policy pages. That is all. If you don't actually break the rule you won't be blocked. Tommy-Macaroni 22:34, 20 December 2020 (UTC)
Force choke
Other pages can be in error, and as pointed out on the Force choke talk page, its stated in other sources to be a mind trick. About Mandalorian, it looks more like a Force Crush than a Force choke tbh --Lewisr (talk) 16:49, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
- No worries, I understand and all is good! No problem, I edited the rescue page to mention this fact and included the source so that should resolve that --Lewisr (talk) 16:58, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
RE: Protostar
Hmm, I see. I think we can make a compromise. Since two sources, a story (2020) and a simplified reference book (2017) state that it's a protostar, and one source, a type of more in-depth reference title (2020), says that it's the galaxy, both sides seem to be more or less equally balanced. So how about we treat it as both a protostar and the galaxy? OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 08:29, 25 February 2021 (UTC)
Copy and paste
Please do not copy and paste content from a Legends page to a canon one completely without changes, that only counts as unproductive and lazy. UberSoldat93 (talk) 15:31, 1 March 2021 (UTC)
- Pardon the interjection, but the page could've been created as a {{Weapon-stub}} instead because I'm certain that the information is not exactly the same as its Legends counterpart.

Command cap (First Order)
Is this a conjectural title or not? There's a conjecture template, but the body lists the name as if that is indeed the actual title. UberSoldat93 (talk) 10:02, 6 July 2021 (UTC)
Candidates for Speedy Deletion
Hey Timjer, when listing a page of any kind as a candidate for speedy deletion, please use {{Delete}} instead of just adding the category since it lets the administration know by leaving a message in the Discord server, which you are also free to join at any time. Erebus Chronus (Talk) 16:32, 20 September 2021 (UTC)
Fairuse
Hi! Yeah, that was intentional. We currently don't have a fairuse template for books like that, but I'd say that the comic template should be reserved for actual comics. There's a general practice around to use the generic {{Fairuse}} template for instances that don't have a specific template to use. Hope this helps!

new links
I'm sorry about the excessively long links I fixed them and made them way shorter.
And about the Signature this is my first time messaging someone on Wookieepedia here are the shortened links

Inappropriate message content
Hi Timjer. While Beanbunny20's behaviour was out of line and has earned them a block, I'd say that your message telling them to seek professional help was also inappropriate and in future I'd ask that you instead contact an admin about issues like this. While the advice may have been genuine, it comes across as verging on a personal attack, so please refrain from such messages in future. Thanks, Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:52, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
- No worries, I understand that your intentions were good but just be careful with that sort of messaging in future, and if in doubt just contact an admin instead rather then directly engaging a person. We have a channel specifically on discord for reporting this kind of stuff if that helps. Ayrehead02 (talk) 14:05, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
RE:Cross-section images
Hey Timjer, I don't believe it's explicitly mentioned in Wookieepedia policy, however from my understanding it's frowned upon to post reference book pages like that in the IU sections of an article. There are definitely IU images such as the schematics of the Mandator IV-class Siege Dreadnought from Star Wars Battlefront II or a drawing of the schematics of the Harbinger from Star Wars: The Rebel Files, that would be fine to use, but as far as I'm aware it's not appropriate to place an image of entire pages of a reference book with text boxes and etc overall, but also specifically in the IU sections. --Vitus InfinitusTalk 20:30, 23 April 2022 (UTC)
Image selection
Hey there. I do appreciate that you're uploading a clearer picture of the superlaser from Rogue One, but I just want to say that variation in images between different Wookieepedia pages (especially Canon/Legends counterparts) isn't a valid basis for the choice of image on an article. It shouldn't be comparitive when it comes down to determining the image that best fits a certain article's infobox. OOM 224 17:27, 14 June 2022 (UTC)
Hi Timjer. Due to inconsistent classifications of ships in Star Wars, which is very common, I'd like to rearrange the Star Destroyer navbox according to length. Lemme know what you think. Thanks Loqiical (talk) 02:22, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
- Yes, anyone can make an edit to a navbox. I just wanted to ask you since you created the page with the dreadnought, cruiser, etc categories. And yep, I would make it like 600-1000m, 1000-2000m, etc, with the chart in Star Wars: Battles that Changed the Galaxy as a basis Loqiical (talk) 10:39, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
Tarkin
I've fully protected the page for now. The administration will take care of the matter. Please do keep in mind that it's not fair to accuse people who try to specify on Tarkin's article that he was gay as "homophobic." We do know that he had a male lover. OOM 224 (he/him) 14:50, 23 January 2024 (UTC)
Duplicate images
Hello there, Timjer! Thanks for your contribution in uploading new images for Wook! I just wanna let you know that the image you recently uploaded was already uploaded by another editor before. For future reference, I would recommend checking out the image category to avoid uploading duplicate images. Cheers! Bonzane10 
(holonet) 14:19, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
- Thanks for the response! No need to apologize, the category can be hectic for sure; I don't blame you. For the time being, I've redirected the image usage to the old one instead. Cheers! Bonzane10 (holonet) 14:26, 29 February 2024 (UTC)
Rise and Fall
Thanks for adding the publisher summary to the page for Star Wars: The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire! I just wanted to let you know that per the Manual of Style, redirects should be avoided and instead pipelinked to the actual name of their respective page. For example, "Sheev Palpatine" would pipelink to Darth Sidious and "Darth Vader" to Anakin Skywalker. If you want, you can toggle a setting in your Preferences to display redirect links as orange so you can spot them easier. Additionally, be sure when pipelinking to include any extensions of the word, such as apostrophes, suffixes like "-ing," or likewise examples inside of the brackets. If it isn't pipelinked, having them outside of the brackets as you did is still the standard. Lastly, be sure to avoid "smart" apostrophes or quotation marks (’ “ ”) as those are also against the Manual of Style; a standard desktop keyboard should default to the standard ones (' ") but every now and then they get copy-pasted over. Overall I'd just recommend going over the Manual of Style to get a feel for formatting standards. Overall your edits are great and very much appreciated and I'm looking forward to seeing you contribute more! Thanks again! - Thannus (DFaceG) (he/him) (talk) 18:40, 16 March 2024 (UTC)
