Rookie One
Hey there, Green Tentacle,

Three years later, there might be some new bts info about Rookie One. There's with Jamison Jones, that doesn't have toooo much info about the character, but it does mention that they used original costumes from ROTJ, which is pretty cool and probably relevant. Anyway, give it a read! Or, if you don't want to, and you want someone else to add the info, I love bts info and would like, be your laborer and stuff. Menkooroo 06:20, October 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'll check it out. Green Tentacle (Talk) 17:58, October 26, 2010 (UTC)

37th Meeting
Hello, GT.

I'm writing to remind you about the upcoming Inq meeting this Saturday/Sunday. Early registration is still available! Hope to see you there. &mdash; Fiolli  17:38, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

Zannah
Yes, it works:P Thank you very much for your help. —Tommy 9281 20:28, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I can't see anything else that can be trimmed without removing info. Green Tentacle (Talk) 20:31, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I agree. Hopefully the objector can be soon satisfied. —Tommy 9281 20:35, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Zuckuss
I reworded and sourced the unsourced paragraph in the "Early life" section. As for the article still being in use... When it comes to wording, I'm just never satisfied. A sentence I reword one week will end up being reworded again the next week because I just think it sounds better at that time. In that respect, everything will always be in a perpetual state of improvement. So, perhaps can Zuckuss be given another once-over and finally lose the ankle bracelet?  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:38, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think we have to wait until the next meeting but I'll ask around. Green Tentacle (Talk) 18:44, November 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks. In the meantime, I'll go and make more niggly little changes to Zuckuss and 4-LOM...  Trak Nar  Ramble on 08:55, November 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Checked with Tope and he agrees we have to wait. But just think how tweaked it will be by the next meeting! ;) Green Tentacle (Talk) 20:41, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

A Guide to the Star Wars Universe
Hey GT,

By chance, do you have A Guide to the Star Wars Universe, Third Edition? If so, can you tell me what it says about Exar Kun's defeat over Yavin 4 please? Thanks, —Tommy 9281 18:30, November 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, only second. Green Tentacle (Talk) 18:56, November 24, 2010 (UTC)

List of foreign language translations of Star Wars names that differ from the original names
Hi, I recently created the page named "List of foreign language translations of Star Wars names that differ from the original names" and you deleted it. This is a misunderstanding : when I was editing this page, I clicked on "save page" instead of "preview" and there was almost nothing on it. Could you please unlock it so I can continue my work ? Anyway, if you did this because you think the title is too long, I was about to change it. THX-1138 4EB 21:37, November 25, 2010 (UTC)THX-1138 4EB
 * I deleted it because we generally don't like lists and because if anybody wants to know what characters are called in other languages they can just go to one of the foreign language wikis to find out. It's not something we need to cover here. Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:42, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

Inqmoot 38
Just letting you know that Inqmoot 38 is scheduled for this Saturday evening. Hope to see you there. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:23, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

501st Inq review
Hey, in regards to the Inq meeting, the 501st Legion article was put on probation and you had created it's review page saying it needed material from Season 3 of the Clone Wars. It's been updated if you guys could review the article. I looked but didn't see it listed and I want to make sure it doesn't get its FA status removed. Thanks.

Red Nebula species
Hey, GT. Just wanted to let you know I've addressed your concerns with Red Nebula species over at the FAN page. Thanks for bearing with me through the end-of-semester crunch. ~ SavageBob 14:06, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ulig Abaha Ltd.
Thank you taking care of this problem. I was not sure which article had a better title, but I now that I think about it you picked the better one because that is how it is in the book.--Exiledjedi 23:11, January 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Good job spotting the duplicates in the first place. Green Tentacle (Talk) 23:51, January 4, 2011 (UTC)

Inq meeting rescheduled
Inq meeting 39 has been rescheduled for this Saturday evening, January 15, at the same scheduled time, 7 PM EST for North Americans. The meeting was postponed this past weekend because no one bothered to show up. If you value your position in the Inq, we expect you to please make an effort to be in attendance. If you cannot attend the meeting, we still expect you to participate by leaving notes on the meeting page. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:29, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Question
Hi! I don't think we'e had the pleasure of meeting before, but I'm Tsu'tey te Rongloa Ateyitan. I am a huge Star Wars fan and an active member in the Avatar Wiki community. Anyways, I had a quick question. I saw that you deleted my page I created, The Invasion of Barons Hed. I was then told to go to the page Mission to Sulon. I am sorry, but there is a different. My page refers SPECIFICALLY to the invasion that took place on Sulon. Yours refers to Kyle Katarn's mission to Sulon. Could you please allow me to keep the page or at least give me a good reason for why it was deleted? Thanks. < User: Tsu'tey te Rongloa Ateyitan 22:46, February 3, 2011 (UTC)Tsu'tey te Rongloa Ateyitan Okay. (Although, technically speaking, Katarn's mission to Sulon had to do with the invasion because he was stuck in the middle of it, being that he was the cause of it.) I do have one more question for you. Is there a user on this Wiki that can help me out with my signature? I have one on Avatar Wiki, but it only comes out on Avatar Wiki. On any other Wiki it comes out as < User: Tsu'tey te Rongloa Ateyitan. I don't know why. I would like my usual signature to appear, though. It's blue and it's in Papyrus font. Can you help me? Thanks. < User: Tsu'tey te Rongloa Ateyitan 21:50, February 4, 2011 (UTC)Tsu'tey te Rongloa Ateyitan
 * Out of eight paragraphs on the page you created, four covered Katarn's mission as described in Mission to Sulon. Of the remaining four, one was the intro and one was BTS info. Only two paragraphs were about the "invasion." Since the game doesn't actually depict an invasion of Sulon anyway, you'd be better off working on improving the Mission to Sulon article instead. Green Tentacle (Talk) 00:44, February 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * You need to create a signature page on each wiki like the one you have on the Avatar Wiki. It doesn't work at the moment since your substing a page that doesn't exist. Or instead of substing, you could make it appear on every wiki by just putting it straight into your preferences. Green Tentacle (Talk) 17:46, February 5, 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations for blocking that anonymous vandal. Thank you!&mdash; TK-999  ( Rise of the Empire ) 16:58, April 18, 2011 (UTC)

Julian Khazzouh
Hi there,

I'm new to the wiki site, but have been trying to make some useful edits. One edit which is not being allowed by the site, as I'm a new user is to the Julian Khazzouh page. At the bottom under external links, there is an "Interview with Julian Khazzouh" link. It is currently linking to an aggregator site (zimbio . com), but it should link to the original interview as follows:


 * http: //www.astern warning . com / 20110316923/articles/nbl/exclusive-interview-julian-khazzouh-sydney-kings.html Interview with Julian Khazzouh

(I have added spaces above so that it would let me post this link!)

Could you please help me with this?

Also, I notice that the photo used on the page does not credit the original photographer on that site (which I administrate) and in fact has been snipped at the bottom to remove the watermark, thus stealing the photographer's IP.

Could you please assist?

Many thanks, Tickets.22 14:31, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've changed the link to the original article. Licensing and source information for images is available by clicking on them. I've changed the source to point to the original article and you can edit this page to change the attribution or credit the original photographer in the author field if what's there isn't sufficient. The image is used under fair use and we'd prefer to credit the source without displaying a watermark if possible. Let me know if that's not ok with you. Green Tentacle (Talk) 15:44, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

Tickets.22 16:13, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks very much for your help and clarification.

CT amendment
Hey. Just wanted to let you know that the QOTD spoilers CT you voted on has been amended. Per a suggestion from Tm_T, the wording has been changed to eliminate the phrase "newly-released" to make it clear that it applies to all material including pre-release stuff. Thanks.

Re-featured FAs
Hey GT,

Zsinj had the required number of votes over on the Re-featured noms page, so I went ahead and added him to the FA queue. Only eleven FAs passed in May, so I guess we should be aiming to tack at least twenty re-featured ones onto the queue for now.

What I did for Zsinj was add him to the queue, add a new featured notice to his talk page, and remove him from the re-featured page and add Stagorr at the bottom. It seemed simple enough. The only aspect I was a bit uneasy about was that currently, there's nowhere to archive the discussion and vote of his re-featured nomination. Do you think we should archive those discussions somewhere and link to them on the articles' talk pages?

Once we get the archiving method figured out, I'd be happy to take a stab at creating an archiving instructions page. Anyway, let me know what you think. Cheers! Menkooroo 16:00, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * These are a little less important than others, I guess, since they don't change the status (at most it gets referred to the Inqs). But the review date is worth having noted somewhere for next time it rolls round. I've created an archive page (needs the category made) and added milestones to the talk page. That should do it. Feel free to make the instructions somewhere. Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:21, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks. I've created the archiving instructions page. Let me know if it makes sense. If there's anything unclear, feel free to change it or let me know. I'm not quite sure what the procedure is for failed nominations. Menkooroo 01:40, June 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey there. I'm wondering if I can pick your brain about the procedure for removing failed RFA nominations. I'm not sure when a nom should be removed from the page, but I see two basic options: 1) After two/three weeks of idle objections, or 2) if it goes to the Inqs, gets put on probation, and ultimately loses its FA status.

The major problem with the former option is that if someone were to go and improve/fix the article afterwards, there wouldn't be any sort of process for putting it back on the RFA page, and it would lose any chance of being featured on the main page again. A potential solution would be the option of leaving a note on the bottom of the RFA page like so:

The major problem with the latter option is that from the day an article is brought to the Inquisitors, it's nearly two months before it can lose its FA status, and it would sit idling on the RFA page during that time. That would seem to defeat the purpose of the RFA page&mdash;that is, a number of old, 2007-quality FAs idling on the page for months at a time instead of old, good-quality FAs being added to the lacking FA queue.

I like the former option, personally, as long as we make the option available for people to add that notice to the bottom of the RFA page. I guess some sort of note on the talk page saying "If you take care of the outstanding objections linked above, please add blah blah message to the bottom of the RFA page..." would be in order, too. This method would speed up the process and allow older FAs to be added to the queue more frequently. What are your thoughts? Menkooroo 04:51, June 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Actually, I think I want to bring this, and a few other questions about the RFAN page, up at this weekend's Inq meeting. Hopefully we can quickly knock out some answers as a group then. Menkooroo 10:43, June 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Good idea. Green Tentacle (Talk) 17:51, June 15, 2011 (UTC)

Secret Order of the Emperor
Hey there! Just curious if you have any more snapshots of the Secret Order tattoo that Marek receives in the TIE Fighter game? Specifically, each stage as the tattoo progresses.

Thanks!
 * Sorry, only got the one of Stele's confirmed rank. Found a forum post with a couple more, but that's it. Green Tentacle (Talk) 19:28, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Inqmoot 43
Hey GT,

The next Inq meeting has been scheduled for July 23/24. Hope to see you there. Menkooroo 14:03, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

RFA page
Hey GT. Quick question: if an FA recently regained its status (say, a year ago), is it still eligible to be re-Featured? The RFA queue page doesn't say anything about this, so I'm unsure if it would be okay to add Tholme to the RFA page. If it's not, just let me know&mdash;I'm leaving tomorrow, though, so someone might have to correct it for me. Thanks!  CC7567  (talk) 23:53, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oops. I kept on reading and I saw the part about articles that "lost and regained" their status, so it's all good now. :P  CC7567  (talk) 23:55, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

X-wing?
Hi, I noticed that you uploaded a screenshot of X-wing. Do you still have a working version, by any chance? I'm trying to verify the Santa easter egg but no success so far using DOSBox. — Milo Fett [Comlink] 22:44, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Can't get it in DOSBox either but it's definitely in the Windows 95 version. I have a screenshot if you want me to upload it. Green Tentacle (Talk) 19:18, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * That would be great, thank you! Sadly, neither my floppy version or shady Russian 200-games-on-a-disc version got me any results. — Milo Fett [Comlink] 22:16, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
