Sub-Adult Group
Hi, I would like to point out that lack of sources in other articles isn't an excuse to do unsourced additions now, as you suggested in Sub-Adult Group. –Tm_T (Talk) 14:57, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Cosinga
It's a little from column A and a little from column B. He cared very much about power, and was furiously jealous of anyone with more of it than him. However, he was so unjustifiably arrogant that he thought he was a much bigger player in the political world than he really was. Basically, he thought he was the sh*t, an didn't need more power because he had it all already. Jayden Matthews 14:28, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Video games
Hello there, I see you have been making articles dedicated to video games. If it interests you, we have an entire project on the subject. Corellian PremierAll along the watchtower 16:44, December 31, 2011 (UTC)

First Battle of Theed
Hi there, good catch regarding the number of ATTs for First Battle of Theed, but could you re-add ATTs to the infobox, because they were there? And you could definitely source that to Episode I. See here for more information. Thanks! Corellian PremierAll along the watchtower 18:53, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Midi-chlorians and Anakin Skywalker
Hey Weedle, I just finished reading Darth Plaugeis, and I noticed the edits you made on Anakin Skywalker's possible father. Where does it say that Plaugeis tried, and the midi-chlorian's refused, creating Skywalker in retaliation? I must have missed something. Can you tell me what pages to review. Thanks!!!24.90.125.6 22:41, January 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I haven't actually read the book, sorry. You could try asking ZeroLead, though, as I based my edits on what he edited the Legacy section of the Darth Plagueis article. Wait, I just checked it, and I think I might have cited the wrong source, apparently it was Vader the Ultimate Guide that stated that, not the Darth Plagueis novel, sorry. Weedle McHairybug 23:12, January 21, 2012 (UTC)


 * Woah,..really. So plagueis didn't and Vader the Ultimate guide did? I read that, i thought it was just a book on the merchandise and legacy darth vader left in the real world. Please tell me what pages, so I can check it out on Barnes and Nobles tommorrow.24.90.125.6 00:46, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I haven't read that book, either, sorry. But like before, I could suggest you ask ZeroLead, as (s)he added it in and thus should know which pages to look up. Weedle McHairybug 00:52, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Inuse
While your edit is appreciated, the page currently has a template called Inuse at the top. This template means that someone is currently working on improving the article, and to avoid edit conflicts, no one other than the placer of the template should edit the page while the message is visible. Thank you for your cooperation.  JangFett  (Talk) 13:51, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

RE:
OK then. That works for me. Just be careful with adding mentions of impliactions to articles. It has to be really blatent, like that one was. NaruHina Talk  16:03, April 5, 2012 (UTC)

Grand Plan
Anything you can think of to make that Legacy section better would be great.... I kind of banged out a couple paragraphs because I thought it was important, but couldn't figure out how to write it without going on at excessive length about the entire EU. Another pair of eyes helps =) – DigiFluid 01:05, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

Palpatine willingness to commit suicide
There is no evidence given in the sources that you have cited (that I could find) to support your edit. The issue here is not about if "Palpatine clearly was goading Marek into finishing him off, with Kota telling him not to as he'll be 'back where he started'" but that you wrote how Palpatine was "more than willing to allow himself to be struck down and potentially be killed." Please refrain from trying to insert extrapolations in articles that are a result of personal opinion or private conclusion. It is indeed considered original research under the definition outlined in the Attribution&mdash;that is, inclusiveness is based on whether the material is attributable to a reliable published source, not whether it is true. TFU does not specifically state the motive for Palpatine's use of Dun Möch, nor does it state that he was willing to let himself be destroyed. The burden of evidence lies with you. What this means is that you will need to post the direct quote from the cited material that supports your statement of Palpatine's to the article talk page. Merely citing TFU as your source does not legitimize your edit. &mdash; Gethralkin  Hyperwave 02:01, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Here are the exact words when he was defeated:
 * Palpatine: You were always destined to destroy me. Do it! Give in to your Hatred!
 * Kota: He's beaten. Let it go....
 * Starkiller: It's a trick! He's more powerful than you know. And he deserves to

die for what he's done to me.
 * Kota: Maybe so. But, if you kill him now, out of hatred, then you will be right

back where you started.
 * There is absolutely no other way to explain it, seeing how Palpatine was trying to goad Marek into killing him. The dialogue makes it very clear that he was trying to get Marek to kill him in order to make him turn to the Dark Side, so unless you want to claim that Palpatine was trying to use reverse psychology (which, if he was, he would not have tried to kill Kota for interfering). If you wish to believe that there was some other explanation for what he was saying, fine, believe it, but the exact words make it clear that he was essentially willing to die if it meant turning someone to the Dark Side. It wouldn't be the first time he did so anyways, as Palpatine also replied to Anakin's remark about wanting to kill Palpatine upon learning that he was a Sith Lord with "I know you would. I can feel your anger... It gives you focus...! Makes you stronger...!" So the dialogue right then and there is more than enough. Weedle McHairybug 10:43, April 13, 2012 (UTC)

Re:
Your problem seems to be with specifying a correct source for the image, which is the most important field when uploading an image. As long as you choose a reasonably relevant license tag, that can always be altered later if need be, as long as the image is properly sourced. Feel free to ask the administrator who is deleting your images what exactly you're doing wrong. They will more than likely be willing to give you a heads up as to how you can correct whatever mistake you're making. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:03, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'd ask the moderator if I knew who the moderator responsible is. They didn't notify me about the images deleted, and for some reason, the wikia isn't emailing me anymore of any changes on my watchlist. Weedle McHairybug 22:05, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Your deleted contributions can be found here. By clicking on the redlinks, a notice will appear showing you which administrator deleted the page or file and for what reason. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:08, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I tried clicking the redlinks, but it just takes me to the image upload area, so that's not going to be of much help. Also, the Deleted Contributions link seems to forbid me access due to my not meeting any of the criteria, such as being an admin, or being a community editor or something. Weedle McHairybug 22:11, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * If you aren't able to see that page, my mistake. I'm not always cognizant of which pages only admins can see in their entirety. At any rate, your problem appears to be that you're sourcing your images to Wikia, which isn't a viable source. You need to specify an actual Star Wars source. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:14, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, although it's going to be extra difficult trying to locate images of those areas since, at least as far as I am aware, I have absolutely no idea where they got the images from on the Netherlands Wookieepedia, AKA Yodapedia. The fact that its in the Netherlands language also doesn't help matters, either. Believe me when I say this, trying to find various images on specific buildings in Galactic Battlegrounds is a huge pain in the butt, as I checked Bing, Yahoo, Dogpile, and Picsearch and I don't come up with any dice on the searches other than those on Yodapedia. I'm not going to use Google to find any sites that have them since I'm effectively on boycott thanks to one of their subsidaries, Youtube, promoting GCB, which insults my religion. Weedle McHairybug 22:20, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * If the images are clearly screen shots from the game itself, all you need to do is use Galactic Battlegrounds itself as the source. If the images are concept artwork and are not from the game, that's a little bit more difficult. In that case, you may be out of luck unless you're able to ask someone on Yodapedia who might be able to help you there. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:24, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I attempted to do so, but it bounces me back. At least I managed to locate the deletion log, and managed to locate the admin responsible, tried to settle the misunderstanding, and also requested politely if the general source link (http://nl.starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars:_Galactic_Battlegrounds), if those links were far too specific than what the site had in mind, was applicable, and if not, which sites I should look for to find those images. Weedle McHairybug 22:39, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure you're understanding exactly what I'm attempting to say. If these images are from the game, you don't need to post the URL of where you're taking the images from. That URL, particularly in this case, as it comes from Wikia, is not a source. Just type this, literally, in the source field, and you'll be ok: Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:44, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm doing exactly what you said I should do, including listing the game title on the source instead of using the URL, but its not getting through, saying I uploaded the image before, and it got deleted. Weedle McHairybug 22:49, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's the wiki's built-in safeguard to prevent vandals from abusing the upload function. You're not doing anything wrong, you're just hitting the filter. I believe it should give you an option at the bottom of the upload form page to ignore the warning and upload anyway. See if that helps you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:51, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I did it. I just hope I didn't make any mistakes this time around that will result in it getting deleted again.
 * BTW, I might as well ask this as well: I found a site that has a ripped image of the Imperial Airbase from the game on it. I'd like to upload it so that at the very least, another variation of the Airbase can be added in for comparison, and get the Imperial Airbase article nearly finished as well, if it is all right. The site is here: http://www.ferazelhosting.net/~bryce/re.html. I also found another site that has images of most of the mechs/vehicles/vessels from the game, and was wondering if it is all right if I uploaded them. They're here, BTW: http://www.galacticbattles.com/civilizations/index.htm, each under each faction. I said most because some of the images repeat themselves. Weedle McHairybug 23:18, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * There's nothing wrong with taking images from other people's websites and uploading them here on Wookieepedia, provided you source them correctly. But I would just make sure they're actual screenshots from the game. In that first link you gave me, for example, I can already see someone has photoshopped out the game background for that airbase, which I would just generally classify as "fan art," and which I would not recommend uploading for our purposes. Try to make sure everything you get is unmodified. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:05, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I guess that nixes ferazelhosting, then. I think the galactic battles site images of the vehicles and personnel were taken directly from the game, though. Only real problem might be the borders. I might remove the borders when I have time. One last thing, do you have any knowledge of sites that actually do possess in-game images focusing on various buildings? I tried searching for the Airbases (barring Naboo, as that one was already uploaded), Shipyards, and pretty much all the buildings and equipment that haven't been uploaded to the site yet, with little luck if any at all. Weedle McHairybug 01:11, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I really know nothing about that game or anything related to it. If I really needed an image and couldn't find a website with anything satisfactory, I might consider looking at YouTube walkthrough videos of the game and taking a screen grab from that. Your other option, of course, is finding someone who has the game and get them to do the work for you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:13, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I ordered the manual on Amazon. Does that qualify (although I'll have to wait until my computer's back in the living room after finals and my printer's scanner is fully functional, not to mention when the guide actually arrives by mail before I get a chance to do so)? I guess I'll ask one of the frequent editors of the site regarding the images for the buildings in either case. Most likely those who actually uploaded the images in the first place. Weedle McHairybug 01:22, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * If you're asking whether the game manual qualifies as a source for uploading images, yes, it does. Anything that is officially licensed is fair game (except in very rare cases that won't affect you here). Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:25, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * We'll, actually, I was meaning more whether that qualifies as something that has images of the buildings. But yeah, I guess that works. Weedle McHairybug 01:27, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

SW:GB buildings
Hello there, just reminding you to watch your copy/pastes. Rebel Fortress needs a bit of work. Also, the layout guide specifies all articles need categories: for instance,. If you have any other questions, feel free to let me know, and happy editing! Corellian PremierAll along the watchtower 00:13, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * And feel free to remove said tags once completed. Also, for what its worth, all the images in the strat guide are in black-and-white and rather tiny. Corellian PremierRobotech.jpg along the watchtower 02:07, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, I probably just need to do close comparisons to deduce which ones are which. Another thing, assuming I don't go through with the strategy guide, do you know of any websites that carry images of the buildings? It's been a pain in the neck trying to find the buildings via search engines. Weedle McHairybug 02:23, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

I did upload File:3JediTemples.jpg early on, thinking that maybe I'd create a generic Jedi temple article. The problem came with what to name it. It's not the Jedi Temple, but a Jedi temple. Anyway, maybe you can use that. Enochf 02:32, April 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I actually already did make use of your 3 Jedi Temples picture. I was actually wondering where you got the image, since I need to upload images onto the various building articles, namely the Shipyard (Water) article, pretty much any of the faction's versions of the buildings that neither has an article yet specifically because it doesn't have a picture nor has a picture even if it has an article. Weedle McHairybug 02:35, April 16, 2012 (UTC)

Categorization
This is just a reminder to please remember to categorize your articles. Thanks.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 06:48, April 19, 2012 (UTC)

Engine numbers
Unfortunately, your assumption on the canonicity of images from that site is wrong. The only canon images are the ones included in Warfare. That includes a front only shot that doesn't show the engines, and a shot that shows that the engines number at least 19 according to this edit. Any other information gleaned from that site is not official until explicitly referenced in an official release. While this may eventually come, it has not yet, so please do not assume that just because it is shown on Mr Hsiao's site that it is canon in regards to the ship designs since any future artist/author may change the details. - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 18:26, April 26, 2012 (UTC)

Strategic Reserve
Despite it's apparent use in the Piett/Ozzel image, Mr Hsaio's image is not canon and should not be uploaded to illustrate articles in itself. It may be uploaded if it is serving a purpose to illustrate behind the scenes information, but at the moment I do not see where this would be possible. Images should not be shoehorned into the site simply because they are available. As for the Piett/Ozzel image, I am afraid I am not prepared to ruin my copy of the book just to scan the image. There are several other users on the site that are uploading such images from Warfare, so contacting them and requesting the upload would be the best course of action. - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 10:38, April 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * We could always try the Development section of the EGW article, since that's where that information can be found. Weedle McHairybug 10:55, April 27, 2012 (UTC)

Deleting pages
Hi there, if you want a page to be deleted, place at the top of the page rather than blanking it. I've already tagged the Imperial Science Corps article you blanked, so just remember to use the tag in the future. Cheers,  nayayen ★talk  13:07, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

MS Word's grammar check
You can not completely rely on Word's auto check. I noted redundant use of words in the same sentence&mdash;"the background of a fleet maneuver... depicted several TIE Advanced X1s in the background."&mdash;and "artwork" should not be preceded by "an" since it is more commonly (and therefore American English standard policy of WP) used as a plural instance. Be careful to examine your grammar and if someone points something out to you, please seek out input from an authoritative source rather than relying on an automated piece of software. Thanks. &mdash; Gethralkin  Hyperwave 16:05, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just wanted to reemphasize that proper English grammar is policy here on the Wookieepedia. If you are planning on making significant edits, I recommend that you run them by one of the tutors at the Online Writing Lab before posting them in an article. Otherwise, you are leaving a mess for others to clean up. &mdash; Gethralkin  Hyperwave 06:40, May 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Dude, you are doing it again. Superfluous repetition in a run-on sentence: "although Palpatine informed him that it would have to wait, as he wanted him to conclude shipping arrangements for Black Sun to the construction site of the second Death Star at Endor, although... " Plus, the wording concerning what is being shipped is not clear enough to convey what exactly you are talking about. Therefore, I am removing them. If Black Sun itself is not being delivered to DSII (which I know is ridiculous, but someone else who doesn't know about what Black Sun is wouldn't), then what is? Supplies? Are these arrangements a one-time deal or for the duration of construction? If for the duration, then wouldn't they be called shipping "rights?" Please don't upload these things until they've been proofread by a human who has experience in proofreading. &mdash; Gethralkin  Hyperwave 13:23, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Good work on the last Anakin edit you did. Just a small note concerning the way dashes are inserted&mdash;"the proper way to make a dash in a sentence is to use an em dash (by typing "&amp;mdash;") not surrounded by spaces" (italics mine). Good work finding and posting that canon WWII reference. &mdash; Gethralkin  Hyperwave 04:52, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Reinstating Rule of Two edit.

 * Book of Sith, last chapter: Rule of One. His apprentices were apprentices for life&mdash;they were never meant to replace him, just run some errands for him.

Ansel Hsiao ship designs
As per Jason Fry's comment here regarding the canonicity of Ansel Hsiao's designs, please do not add information gleaned directly from Hsiao's site unless it has been referred to explicitly in an official source. To quote: ''Re Ansel's designs, what I included in the endnotes is the canonical stuff. Nothing else is so defined.'' Please do not continue to add non-official material to these articles. Thank you for your cooperation. - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 08:05, May 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * I can inform you that there are at least two other Hsiao artworks in the EGW that clearly show the weaponry in question for the Assertor, Bellator, and Assertor-class ships, so the ships armament at the very least is canonical. Besides, there wasn't a ban on counting via circumference. Ask Darth Culator, one of your mods, since he used the circumference method to give the amount of engines in the Assertor-class Star Dreadnought, and he also listed it as having a hyperdrive. Look at the Assertor-class's history section if you don't believe me. Plus, some of the stuff for the Vigil for its arsenal and dish, at the very least, can stay as well, since those can be seen in the Naval Station Validusia pic. Fine, remove the stuff about engines and weaponry for the Procursator and Secutor, and remove the engines portion for the Vigil, but keep those that actually appear in the pics in the EGW, since if that amount appears in the pics for the EGW, they're canonical, like you said earlier. Weedle McHairybug 13:46, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * The fact that weapons appear is not in dispute. However, no image clearly shows the ridgeline of the Assertor-class of the Bellator-class, so weapons cannot be counted there. Furthermore, nothing in canon specifically says what each weapon mount is. Nothing says that there are X weapons of this class, or Y of this. Nothing. I quote again, Re Ansel's designs, what I included in the endnotes is the canonical stuff. Nothing else is so defined. If you want to count the clearly visible weapon mounts and mention that it has a least this number of emplacements, be my guest. But the type of weapon is never specified. You are basing your entries off of Mr Hsiao's site, which is not canon I'm afraid. - Cavalier One FarStar.svg( Squadron channel ) 14:14, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

Would you mind sourcing your additions to Showdown on Coruscant, please? I try to keep it as close to status as I can on my own, but I have no idea where you got your information from. NaruHina Talk  05:33, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for adding, either way. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 05:39, June 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * I kinda deleted it because of the sources issue, sorry. I'd give you my sources, but given that the sources were from TVTropes (specifically, the Star Wars subfolder for the Film entry of the What Could Have Been trope), I'm not sure that counts, especially seeing how the first time I tried to use TVTropes as a source, on the Final Fantasy Wiki regarding a concept for Dissidia: Final Fantasy, they said it didn't count.

RE: Paintings

 * I'll get to the other ones in due time but feel free to contribute any way you see fit. I am only one man and SWG has so many paintings (and other things) in it so I welcome any help. I'll just come along and fix any problems I see. Feel free to use any of the painting articles I've made as a template for future ones. Gal-icon.jpg  OLIOSTER  (talk) 22:29, June 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Those were the only ones I saw that I had created before. Don't assume that their name on the SWGWiki is their actual canon name because, like us, they have to name it something. A good portion of paintings in the game were simply named "Painting" and I don't have a list of which ones these were. Most of the time I am working from memory of when I played the game. The site does not list every painting but it does list them by the name they had in the game (although on that site, any portion of the name in brackets is likely not part of its official and is just a way to distinguish different paintings with the same name).

Palpy's Sith Infiltrator
Was the review you read from an official Star Wars affiliate and do you have a link to it. Since no one else is going to be able to find the specific review you mean independently, that needs a reference in the article. NaruHina Talk  00:46, June 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, if IGN counts as an official Star Wars affiliate, here it is: http://www.ign.com/articles/2012/05/24/star-wars-darth-vader-and-the-ghost-prison-1-review Weedle McHairybug 01:07, June 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * They don't. The reviewer, while probably approximately correct, is inferring that and you can't source to his words in our article. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 01:19, June 25, 2012 (UTC)

Watermarks
Hey Weedle. Great job on the Galactic Battleground articles. When uploading images, remember to remove the watermark and other information written around it, since that is OOU. Cheers.  Stake black   msg 00:44, July 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I had to take a lot of time trying to search for those images on the web, and let's put it this way, heavengames.com was a treasure trove of these images. I sourced them under Galactic Battlegrounds because that's where they came from. Hope that's all right. BTW, I took two computer science courses in College and passed with a C average. However, I haven't been able to find my textbook/lab CD in my house, so I might have to ask, as I usually need to consult my textbooks to figure things out: How do I try to remove watermarks and other information? Weedle McHairybug (talk) 00:52, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Hey there, when you're adding source lists to Galactic Battlegrounds, remember that the strategy guide actually came out first, so the guide gets and the game gets. Corellian PremierAll along the watchtower 02:39, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Executor
Actually, I undid the edit because it was unsourced and I wasn't sure if it was speculation. The thing is, the Executor a Featured Article, and any additions should really be taken to the nominator/writer&mdash;who in this case is Toprawa and Ralltiir. FAs have to pass regular FA Reviews, and the original author has to be the one to satisfy the reviewers' objections, if I'm not mistaken. I'd take your additions to him and see what he thinks. You definitely needs sources, though. Cade  Calrayn   16:52, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

Creating articles
When creating or editing articles, please recall that all articles should be properly categorized, and that all in-universe articles should be written in the past tense. Thank you for your cooperation. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 15:45, July 17, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Capture
I don't actualy have the Far Orbit Project, so I can't expand. In creating the article I pretty much just used the scant info from Warfare. Most things relating to that are pretty bare though, including the Capture, and I think Far Orbit Project related material needs a lot of work done on them. 501st dogma ( talk ) 17:25, July 22, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Royal Award Ceremony
Hello there. Well, I shall create the actual article as soon as I am satisfied with my draft. I intend to do something status-wise with this article&mdash;at least a Good Article, perhaps even a Featured Article. Were you interested in something about it? :) --LelalMekha (talk) 01:06, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * All right. If you have any advice/opinion about the article, just let me know! ;-) I like to hear from everybody, especially since English is not my mother tongue. --LelalMekha (talk) 01:16, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

Scout Trooper
Hello Weedle, in answer to your question about the Scout Trooper tricked by Han, he has not been named to date. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 01:14, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * I was ready to say: "Off the top of my head, I have no idea". I do believe, like Hanzo, that he is still unnamed, but I do not think he already has an article. I may want to search in Star Wars: Behind the Magic tomorrow, however. --LelalMekha (talk) 01:18, July 31, 2012 (UTC)
 * The Tempest Force article has seemingly done a good job comprehensively listing the names of each member. And I've looked through that card set, this character indeed appears to be unnamed. However, I do wonder if Irol is one of the others with him, who pursue the Ewok. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 01:22, July 31, 2012 (UTC)

Creating articles, again
You've been told before to follow all site policies when creating new articles. This is not a hard thing to do. Further disregard for site policies will result in a block from editing. Thank you for your cooperation. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 15:35, August 2, 2012 (UTC)

On Ewoks and Empire
I wouldn't dare to say that I'm an expert, but I can be really devoted to searching and extracting a specific information from a bundle of sources. To be honest, I don't feel too comfortable with such policy issues (the Vietnam War) and the likes, especially when it comes to American politics&mdash;after all, I'm an old-school European. To me, America is a galaxy far, far away, which is covered extensively by the media. Regardless, if you ask, I can look for this information in the sources I possess&mdash;even though it doesn't ring a bell at the moment&mdash;but I hope this won't bring me into partisan issues. --LelalMekha (talk) 00:01, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't worry, it won't, at least from me. When trying to edit articles, I usually try to take my job as an editor very seriously. For example, although I personally harbor disgust for the Viet Cong, I won't make that clear in any of my edits regarding the Ewoks by making flame baiting additions to them. Besides, while I do lean conservative, my actual affiliation is closer to an Independent, anyways, so I doubt I'll go to partisan rhetoric anyways. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 00:08, August 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * No offense intended, but please, just do not tell me about your, er, "disgust" or anything like that. I can do the research&mdash;though I'm not sure I can dig up anything&mdash;but I really don't even want to know about that. It makes me very uneasy, and I think politics and such borderline, touchy subjects should not be brought on Wookieepedia, even in talk pages. This being said, I'll have a look at my sources, and if I come across anything, I'll let you know.v--LelalMekha (talk) 00:25, August 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright. (Mimes zipper over mouth). Weedle McHairybug (talk) 00:27, August 3, 2012 (UTC)

New articles - sources and formatting
Weedle: Please be more careful in the future. You created this article with no sources. You also need to be sure that you're writing in the past tense for In-Universe articles. You've been warned repeatedly for your lack of proper formatting and details in articles. Please be sure to be more careful in the future. Failure to do so could result in a block.&mdash; Cal Jedi (Personal Comm Channel) 01:58, August 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, Cal may not agree with me on this, but I'd prefer if you left the redlinks to someone who has access to the comics in question. My personal reasoning behind leaving those redlinks in the timeline was so that users who are knowledgeable about those sources and have access to them can create detailed articles for the events in question. When someone creates a redlink just to fill it in, it causes the article in question to sink below the surface of the Wook and results in the articles often being ignored. Redlinks are spotlights pointing users to places they can add their knowledge, and creating them with the bare minimum of info takes the focus off the redlinks and often hurts the new articles.

SW.com
Thanks for pointing that out. I was forgetting to chop off "starwars.com" from the beginning of the url in the template, so it was liking to "starwars.com/starwars.com". NaruHina Talk  12:59, August 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, it's a start, but it's still going to a dead link on the backup link, even with the dropping of starwars.com. Similar problems exist with the Star Wars Galaxies archive links. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 13:01, August 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's not a start, it's an end. The archive links are not going to work because those pages haven't been archived by the Wayback Machine and we have no control over that. More articles from Sw.com have been archived than not, so we leave the template as it sits. They don't preserve videos anyway, I don't believe. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 13:04, August 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. Can we at least fix the sourced archive links for some of the Star Wars Galaxies site sources, though? They get redirected to the current site layout, which is not helpful at all, and the sources are indeed archived (I checked), and my attempt at it was not only not likely helpful, it seems to have made things worse. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 13:13, August 6, 2012 (UTC)

The Clone Wars Season 5 episode 1 SHE DIES!
How could Stass Allie command in the battle of coruscant if she DIED before if happened? She dies in Clone Wars Season 5 episode 1 IT'S CONFIRMED that she didn't fight in the battle of coruscant.

Re:File of deactivated army
It is a command center. As numerous factions had such buildings, I'm not sure if each needs an individual article. Each one pretty much does the same for each faction. Other buildings such as fortresses have special features for each faction, so I'd say they could warrant individual articles. I'm talking to admin right now about how we should best handle this.

Endor and the Vietnam War: update
Hey Weedle. I don't know if you're still researching this field, but I found this while skimming through Star Wars: Behind the Magic: Lucas first became intrigued with the idea of a primitive tribe battling the technologically advanced Imperials while developing the Vietnam film Apocalypse Now''. When he later decided to puruse Star Wars, he continued to be fascinated by this theme. Therefore, first the Wookiees and later the Ewoks were conceived as primitive warriors who ultimately triumph over a well-armed enemy. Lucas also maintains that there are inentional parallels between the Ewoks ant the Viet Cong, and the Galactic Emperor and Richard Nixon.''

This is from 1998, and that's the earliest source I could find&mdash;although there must be older ones. --LelalMekha (talk) 01:21, December 1, 2012 (UTC)

X1
That's cool. Keep in mind, though, that statements based on an author saying things like " I imagined that..." aren't canon. They can be noted in "Behind the scenes" as authorial intent, but that's about it. Menkooroo (talk) 13:30, December 3, 2012 (UTC)

Imperial Garrison Base
Hey Weedle. Thanks for the cleanup on Imperial Garrison Base. Are you sure we could pinpoint it's destruction at 0 ABY, though? I haven't read Tatooine Sojourn yet (I'm trying to find it online), but from what I inferred from the article, the base was destroyed some time after, without specifying when. Pinpointing dates this precisely seems like a strech, given that Tatooine Sojourn's article puts its events at circa 0 ABY, and Galactic Spy doesn't have a cohesive story or timeline (spanning from eps. I to IV).  Stake black   msg 16:27, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * The story mentions the destruction of the Death Star, which likewise implies that it took place around 0 ABY. The article did at one point mention that it was 1 ABY, but I replaced it with 0 ABY based on what I knew at that time. You can read the comic here: http://dailysw.blogspot.com/search/label/Tatooine%20Sojourn Weedle McHairybug (talk) 16:35, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks man. I didn't understand the story very well, though. I'm thinking of proposing this article as a good article, but I reckon there would have to be more explanation in the two last paragraphs regarding the events prior to the destruction of the base. If you're not too busy and would like to help out, that'd be super. Thanks.  Stake black   msg 20:48, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey again. I'm currently nominating Imperial Garrison Base to good article status and your input would be very welcome. Thanks.  Stake black   msg 18:05, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Reconquest of the Rim
I was working on it, but then I got sidetracked by Marvel comics updates (and while the post-RotJ Marvel articles are exemplary, the ones prior to that are lacking). I will get back to it. It is hard to work with limited sources that engage the subject matter but in summary, because one is forced to seek middle ground between copying the text (which is, of course, an act of plagiarism) and being lax with it, which is the bane of countless articles in this website (the second choice is frankly far worse than plagiarism, because Star Wars authors use Wookieepedia as a source, and a mistake may find itself in print).--R5-X41238-G8-R3-3124-D2 (talk) 00:16, December 18, 2012 (UTC)

Star Tours flights, etc
Just wanted to mention that I noticed you working on adding Star Tours flights from the flight status boards, I assume. I'm actually putting together a list of those flghts, times, etc, and intend to create articles for them. As an aside, I've noticed that most flights labeled "LANDED," "ON APPROACH," and "BOARDING" on those lists consistently have a time around 0800, suggesting that the Star Tours 2 flight takes place around 8:00 in the morning. :) --JMM (talk) 13:28, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks. And good to know. I had to base most of my information on the screencaps supplied by EndorExpress.net, which unfortunately cut off several gate areas especially in the Arrival section. Weedle McHairybug (talk) 13:38, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * I found a lot more online on flickr, youtube videos, etc. I didn't realize you created so many already. I'll only add pages for ones you've already done. I think it would also be good to eventually add that the flight happened "around the time of the Raid on Star Tours space station" or something like that. Different for flights from the first Star Tours ride, obviously. --JMM (talk) 17:32, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * One other random thing that occurred to me while making these articles: If the flight's in the departure list, I'm assuming the time listed is the time the speeder is supposed to take off from the Star Tours space station. If it's in the arrivals, I assumed it's the time it's supposed to get to the space station. I think that follows along with real airports. An airport only cares about times a plane leaves or gets to that airport. --JMM (talk) 19:23, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * AND one more thing. :) I think it makes sense to consider flights with more than one planet listed to mean the flight is making multiple stops. That's how you seemed to be doing it. I was just thinking it was a mistake. Your way fits better! --JMM (talk) 19:55, January 11, 2013 (UTC)
