We're halfway there
So guys, we're nearing the halfway point with this barn-burner. I just want to send out a broad message thanking everyone who has and plans on participating in Wookieepedia's second barn-burner, and update you guys on how it's going so far. So far, we have promoted nine Comprehensive Articles, twelve Good Articles, and one Featured Article! Fantastic job everyone who wrote and reviewed those weapons articles, I couldn't have asked for a better group to do so. We also have a number of current Good and Featured Article Nominations currently up, which you can see here.

However, as we approach the halfway point, I do want to encourage you all to keep writing and reviewing weapon articles for the barn-burner. Our goal should be to meet or surpass the level set by the previous barn-burner, which had over forty promoted articles. While we should aim to pass as many articles as possible by the end of the month, I may extend the barn-burner a little into September for any stragglers, especially for those Users who are writing extremely long Featured Articles for the project.

I should also notify participants of a recent Consensus Track over weapons that is about to pass. The CT is over when we should fill in the "Owners" field for Template:Weapon. Right now, it seems as if we are leaning towards filling in the field for unique weapon types, and not filling in the field for general weapon types. As such, we should fix any weapons we have, or will, write for the barn-burner to fit these new parameters. Thanks you for reading this, and keep up the good work.

 * Thanks for the big update Kilson! I'm glad to have been a part of the project. :) --  Riffsyphon  1024 14:49, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * You're welcome Riff, and thanks very much for CAing the K26. If you want to contribute any more weapon articles, feel free to. I put a number of suggestions up on the barn-burner page, and according to your User Page, you have a number of sources at your disposal, including a number of RPG supplements which feature a plethora of unique weapons. I'm sure you could think of something interesting and fun to do. :) Kilson ( Let's have a chat ) 13:27, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * As much as I'd like to, I'm almost about to move out of my house to my new residence up north. I have some of my guides and books packed already, with some still here, but there won't be enough time to work on another article. I'm happy though that I got something out there. :) --  Riffsyphon  1024 01:33, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

BC stuff
Hi Riffs :). I wondered if you could check your Wook associated email. Your input was requested on a thread almost a week ago ;). Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 10:37, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Dear Grunny. I did respond, unless it sent only to Chad or jSarek... --  Riffsyphon  1024 10:41, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, yeah, maybe you didn't hit reply-all? I didn't get it anyway :(. Could you forward me your response if you have a moment? :) Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 10:42, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sometimes I despise technology. I sent a message on Jul 24, but I did not in fact hit reply-all, and apparently the second email I sent acts as if I didn't send it at all.. You can now follow the complete conversation through my message now there. Sorry about that. --  Riffsyphon  1024 10:49, August 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem, I forget to do that all the time :P. Thanks! :) Grunny  ( talk ) 10:52, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

List of planets
Hi Riffsyphon1024.

I started makeing the table for List of planets S and when you started to help I had an idea. Do you think that we should get everyone together to finish the table? --Ssi-ruuk general 05:58, November 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is something that needs to be completed. We have data on most of these planets now via the Essential Atlas Companion. It's just a monster to finish, and I suppose that is why no one has gotten to it by now. A small project to complete them would be nice, if anything to get small chunks of the tables done. The tables are also the reason we kept these list pages, versus most other lists. Rather than simply list the planets, the goal is to provide viewers with a sort of one-stop shop for key points of information on any planet. That being noted however, the articles themselves will provide much more detailed information. --  Riffsyphon  1024 06:20, November 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok. I'll keep at it until I finish it. Oh, and just so you know, even though the signature at the end of this is different to the first one I sent you, I'm still the same persone. I just changed my user name thats all.--Ssi-Ruuk Warrior 23:39, November 23, 2011 (UTC)

Puddle?
Is the article on Brodo Asogi, really meant to say "Puddle footed", what in 9 hells is puddle footed when it's at home.--Dkwolf27 07:42, December 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * My mistake. I guess I had thought that was a real description, that we had been using for some time. Seemed there are paddle-footed species out there. --  Riffsyphon  1024 07:49, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

Unidentified planet 24 (Dilonexa system)

 * Yes! Thanks a bunch guys! --  Riffsyphon  1024 19:15, December 17, 2011 (UTC)

Barn-burner
Just wanted to encourage everyone participating in December's barn-burner on Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to keep up the hard work! Only two articles have been passed, but five are currently nominated, and I suspect numerous projects are underway. The month is over halfway through, so we need to hurry and finish as many articles as we can before the end of the month. Keep writing and keep reviewing! Also, don't forget about the current CT on Databank entries in the "Sources" section, as many articles will have to be updated to meet the new criteria. I thank all of you for taking part in this project and working to make the site better for the release of The Phantom Menace in 3-D in February, and I'm confident the results will be satisfactory. Anyway, just keep...doing what you're doing. :P MasterFred (Whatever) 20:27, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yep, I'm about to submit at least one of the scalefish I'm working on. Maybe I shouldn't have taken on all seven?... --  Riffsyphon  1024 05:32, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Stae-Fahnti Koelbayr
Hi,

Sorry about not getting the formatting right on the Stae-Fahnti Koelbayr article; I had to make a minor correction in my Google Plus post when I realized that Colbert has an honorary D.F.A. (doctorate of fine arts) from Knox College, not an honorary Ph.D. (He is listed in the show's end credits as "Dr. Stephen T. Colbert, D.F.A.," which is what I was mimicking when I came up with the name "Dr. Stae-Fahnti Koelbayr.")

I updated the page to reflect the correct the reference to an honorary D.F.A. rather than an honorary Ph.D., and I also changed the first sentence to remove the reference to Koelbayr as a doctor (i.e. physician). He's never identified as a physician in the Gem of Alderaan text, so this link was erroneous. As a comparison, look at the entry immediately preceding Koelbayr's: "Dr. Hakaen Bousch (old male Mon Calamari, physician)" is specifically identified as a physician to clarify the use of the title "Dr." in the text.

Sorry again for the format & style errors; I'm very new to wiki editing, and I appreciate you cleaning up my mess. :)

Gmsarli 21:16, December 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * We all make whoopsies. Sorry again for the edit conflict. Thanks for bringing this new information to our knowledge. :) --  Riffsyphon  1024 22:53, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Moogans in TCW: Slaves of the Republic
I'm sorry for not responding sooner, Riff. I believe they were featured in the Slaves episode, and I'll have the info for you soon. :)  JangFett  (Talk) 23:39, December 22, 2011 (UTC)
