Articles
Thank you for contributing to Wookieepedia! Please note that concepts such as love and attachment do not qualify for articles since they do not have in-universe uniqueness per Wookieepedia:Notability policy. Your contributions may be more appreciated on articles regarding the Force, Cosmic Force, Jedi Code etc. Also, I recommend that you switch to the source editor when editing. It makes life easier by ensuring correct wikicode formatting. Thanks! OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 12:39, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- Sorry. Per WP:NOT#Wookieepedia is not a dictionary, not the notability policy. OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 12:44, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
- (I'm hoping this is the correct way to reply) Thank you for the information! I thought attachment deserves an article because it's not used in the general sense, but mostly in Jedi-philosophy context, and it's more like a philosophical concept. I understood that Wookieepedia is not a dictionary, but since "death" has it's own article I thought I give it a shot! But now I believe it should be incorporated into Jedi Code.
- No problem. Don't be discouraged from editing; everyone makes errors when new to Wookieepedia. Also, in the future, please remember to sign your messages with four tildes (~~~~) through the source editor. Thanks! OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 14:17, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
Sourcing
Hi again. Good work on the Jedi Code article, just note that you should follow the Wookieepedia:Attribution and Wookieepedia:Sourcing policies and always source your edits with relevant reference notes as can be seen here. Thanks. OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 15:16, 2 March 2021 (UTC)
- Hi there. I'd like to remind you to source your edits again--I know George Lucas said things such as the dark side being biological and that, but since they're not explicitly stated in official canon media, they cannot be added to the article body. It's also recommended that you use the preview button when making edits. That way you don't need to make multiple edits and possibly create edit conflicts. If you have any questions about editing, I suggest checking out the newcomers' portal. If you'd like to discuss editing further, I suggest checking out the Wookieepedia Discord. I hope this message clarifies my edits to dark side of the Force. OOM 224 ༼༽talk༼༽ 21:46, 27 April 2021 (UTC)
- Hello! Got it! I will keep that in mind and continue as you advised! WriterBuddha (talk) 08:09, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
Dark Side and Destiny
Hello Buddha, thank you for reaching out on my talk page! I see your point, thank you for the explanation. But I feel like the sentence about Yoda's discussion of destiny should be followed up by a quick sentence about redemption. Otherwise, readers may be confused about what Yoda meant when referring to destiny, thinking it literally meant they will always be on the dark side, when that is not the point we are going for. Additionally, just a quick note, but, when writing, please avoid saying "his or her" in articles, given that we want to be a welcoming community to individuals who use other pronouns like they/them. Additionally, we know of characters in-universe who use those pronouns, so it is more accurate lore wise to avoid saying "his or her.".--Editoronthewiki (talk) 15:23, 28 April 2021 (UTC)
Thank you for replying! About the Yoda thing, got it. (I wrote speculation there but I see you already took care about that) And thank you very much for bringing the pronouns to my attention!!! I made a mistake. My language has only gender-neutral pronouns but I'm still learning to write gender-neutral sentences in English. I'll pay more attention to this in the future.

Please format references like this <ref name="NAME">''[[The Clone Wars: No Prisoners]]''</ref> instead of <ref>[[The Clone Wars: No Prisoners]]</ref>. Notice that titles are to be italicized as well. Make sure to format external links with the appropriate citation template and backup link as well. UberSoldat93

Jedi temples
Scott is a canon writer explaining a theme in his canon stories and overall stories he is part of the design process of. Do the Jedi still leave the Temple for missions? Yes. But were they, COMPARATIVELY, locked away. They did not stay in local communities, they largely lived in tbe Core. That is what the Living Force is about, if you want a story source. It's not that the Jedi don't care, its that they have become isolated.
As for the idea that the Prequels were a heyday? Although Lucas said that, it is disproven by the events of those films and other prequel media, such as Tales of the Jedi. Editoronthewiki (talk) 11:43, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
- The summary for The Living Force literally says "The Jedi have always traveled the stars, defending peace and justice across the galaxy. But, the galaxy is changing, and along with it, the Jedi Order. More and more, the Order finds itself focused on the future of the Republic, secluded on Coruscant, where the twelve members of the Jedi Council weigh crises on a galactic scale. As yet another Jedi Outpost leftover from the Republic's golden age is set to be decommissioned on the planet Kwenn, Qui-Gon Jinn challenges the Council about the increasing isolation of the Order." Yes, the Jedi become isolated. Scott points this out. While Yoda does later return, he lived with them for that time. Thats the point of that comic. All Scott said is that the Jedi were isolated compared to their past. As writer of the story and member of the High Republic team, he is explaining something within the narrative. There is a difference between the prequel jedi and high republic, that's the point. Editoronthewiki (talk) 21:44, 19 May 2024 (UTC)
