   • People like you angrify me. :P That's a word too, even if the Internet doesn't acknowledge it. It's just archaic. NaruHina ^Talk 09:31, September 19, 2012 (UTC)

• Article for the Zabrak Colonies? - Cavalier One^{(Squadron channel)} 12:28, September 4, 2012 (UTC)
  • There's really no information for an article. It could be several coloinies on one or several different and unspecified planets related only by the fact that Zabraks colonized them, so I don't think it warrants an article. Also, it's never been referred to with a proper noun as a collective or otherwise. NaruHina ^Talk 14:10, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

• From reading the definition of the word and its intended meaning, I'm to understand that "speechify" is to be used to describe someone who is arrogantly and boringly lecturing on something. Looking at this page in Warfare, I see no such indication that that is intended to be applied to this given speaker and his speech. I hate to be the party pooper, since I know you probably think this is funny to stick this word in here, but I would really suggest using a word that employs a less negative connotation. "Spoke" would work just fine. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:21, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
  • Pah. I don't think the word is "funny;" it's my favorite. The arrogance is an optional connotation, albeit popular enough for a dictionary, but I suppose it's not so different than the distinction between sentences like "He daydreamed about the cat" and "He fantasized about the cat," even if most people reading wouldn't know about the sub-meaning of speechify. Changed. NaruHina ^Talk 20:19, October 21, 2012 (UTC)
