Talk: Vader327

Welcome, Vader327!

Hello, Vader327, and welcome to Wookieepedia! We hope you like the place and choose to join us in building the best Star Wars encyclopedia there is. Here are some things you should know:

Wookieepedia is the Star Wars encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but we are not a general Star Wars forum nor an all-inclusive trivia site.
In-universe articles are written in past tense and from a neutral point of view. Our Manual of Style and Layout Guide form the basis for writing on Wookieepedia.
All additions to Wookieepedia must be sourced and attributed to a reliable, official source. Fan fiction is welcome on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki.
As a registered Wookieepedia user, you are entitled to a user page and a unique signature. Eventually you will also gain the right to vote on community matters.
Remember to be nice to your fellow Wookieepedians. Avoid making personal attacks and engaging in edit wars. Using multiple accounts is not allowed.
Talk pages and forums are part of the public record and comments on them, including your own user talk page, should be left intact. Remember to sign your comments by typing four tildes, like this: ~~~~

New to wikis? Don't worry, we were all new once. Our welcome page has everything you need to get started, and the Jundland Wastes sandbox can be used for test edits. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—be bold!

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wookieepedian! If you have any questions, you can consult our FAQ, ask a question in the Senate Hall forum, visit our official IRC and Discord channels, or leave me a message on my talk page.
May the Force be with you! —OOM 224 ^{༼༽talk༼༽} 04:55, 30 June 2021 (UTC)

Sources

Hi, just letting you know that there shouldn't be any source listed after merchandise like this since they are, as of right now, unreleased. Only after the latest release date passes can sources start being added after them. Thanks. UberSoldat93 (talk) 12:47, 3 December 2021 (UTC)

Cookie

JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) has awarded you a Mint Wookiee Cookie!

Nice job adding all of those sources!

Archive for SW.com

Hi, just want to point out that you don't need to fill out the "archivedate" if it's already in the repository. UberSoldat93 (talk) 11:01, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Sources and appearances

Hi! I just wanted to refresh you on how "appearances" lists work on articles for reference works, because it's different than in the lists on narrative media works. To use the Millennium Falcon as an example, if it appears in a novel or TV episode, then you put the entire hierarchy of its model in the appearances list as well, from the ship's type all the way down to its specific model. However, if the Falcon is mentioned in a reference work, you do not do that unless any of these things are specifically mentioned or pictured: e.g., if the Falcon is mentioned, but the term "freighter" is not, then you just put the ship's name in the appearances list, and leave out freighter. The same goes for characters: just because Ahsoka Tano is mentioned doesn't mean that her species was, and if her species isn't mentioned in the reference work, you leave it out. To use an example from a recently-created article, Ships of the Galaxy: The Halcyon Starcruiser mentions Oga's Cantina. As this is the name of the business, it does not constitute a separate mention of owner Oga Garra, whose name should not be in the appearances list. I hope this makes things clearer for you.

Cookiee!

NanoLuuke^{Cloning facility} has awarded you a Wookiee Cookie!

For your excellent work on providing proper indexation of numerous SW.com web articles.

StarWars.com articles

Please note that the Layout Guide states that "Star Wars Blog posts are only listed in the Sources section if they contain unique canonical information." Blog posts like The Lessons of Fatherhood in Star Wars on StarWars.com (backup link) and Quiz: Which Obi-Wan Kenobi Are You? on StarWars.com (backup link) do not meet this criteria and should accordingly not be listed in the Sources due to their trivial nature.

Archiveurl to archivedate

Hi! When editing (ex: George Lucas) a {{Cite_web}} instance using archiveurl to archivedate, please do not just conserve the timestamp (YYYYMMDDhhmmss), but also make sure the url is the same as the one in the archiveurl.

For example:

{{Cite_web|url=http://collider.com/han-solo-movie-george-lucas-star-wars-story/#ron-howard|title='Solo: A Star Wars Story': How George Lucas Helped Shape a Scene Aboard the Falcon|author=Trumbore, Dave|date=2018-02-09|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20200105114010/https://collider.com/han-solo-movie-george-lucas-star-wars-story}}

The url parameter should not be kept as "http://collider.com/han-solo-movie-george-lucas-star-wars-story/#ron-howard" but should be replaced instead by the one in the archiveurl (minus the archive.org part of the url): "https://collider.com/han-solo-movie-george-lucas-star-wars-story", as logically that's the version of the url the timestamp is associated with.

Contractions

Hello - please note these edits, as contractions are not allowed in formal writing. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 22:10, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Hi. Again, please stop using contractions in your writing. Thanks. JediMasterMacaroni^(Talk) 04:55, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

This Week! in Star Wars

Hi Vader327, I wanted to thank you for updating the This Week! in Star Wars page and adding new images for the first two weeks of January. Have been updating the page for the past three years. It's good to see another Wookieepedian working on the article as well. Appreciate your help and keep up the good work. Andykatib 01:30, 20 January 2023 (UTC)

Minas Velti

Hey there, do you have any plans to nominate Minas Velti? You've done a lot of great work on her and I'd love to see you move forward with it. If not, would you be okay if I pursued the nomination? NBDani (they/them)^{Yeager's Repairs} 15:33, 17 September 2023 (UTC)

I would be okay if you pursued the nomination.Vader327 (talk) 22:44, 17 September 2023 (UTC)
