Confrontation on Ambria
Hey Jon,

I've noticed that you've done a lot of work on this article. By any chance, are you interested in nominating it for a Good Article? If so, I can help you along the way. Let me know what you think. —Tommy  ( Nine two eight one ) 20:18, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. I imagine you enjoy editing on the site; one of the things that helped me when I was new was the nomination of my first good article. While it can seem daunting at first, don’t fret or crack under the proverbial pressure. I had what I thought was a fine grasp on the processes of Wookieepedia&mdash;I was sadly mistaken. Your initial forage onto the GAN will change the way you edit articles with regards to Wookieepedia forever, which is a good thing. You’ll learn through experience what article requirements are, and you’ll carry that knowledge with you each time you make edits. As far as Confrontation on Ambria goes, you’ll need a few more things before it’s GAN worthy, the first of them being a behind the scenes section. Articles like this one can provide a good example for you on how to create a BtS, this one especially because it is from the same book as the Confrontation. Make sure that when you provide links to other articles within Wookieepedia, the subject is linked once upon its first mention in the intro, and once upon its first mention in the article body. Remember to refer to individuals with first and last names by their last name after the initial point of their introduction. I personally do not include contractions in my articles, but there is no policy against this, so you can go either way. Remember that appearances aren’t sources in the sense that Wookieepedia uses them; sources include reference book material, blogs, SW databank entries, etc. Appearances include comics, television media, novels, video games, etc. Finish working the article out, and I’ll give it a good once-over, and then you should be ready to nominate it for GAN. In the meantime, you should check out the GAN page, starting from the top, and read the instructions/preliminary guidelines for nominations. Then browse the page to get a feel for the kinds of things objectors object to. Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask, and I’ll do my best to help. —Tommy Dark side Master SWGTCG.jpg ( Nine two eight one ) 21:06, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, Jon. I'll give it a good one-two shortly, and then you should be ready for the GAN. Let me know if you have any questions. —Tommy Dark side Master SWGTCG.jpg ( Nine two eight one ) 21:46, 14 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, Jon. Lookin good, though you may want to expand the intro some. Just mention when and where, and give a brief overview of the beginning, middle & end of it. Keep it brief in the intro without leaving out things you mention later in the body. If you need any help, lemme know. —Tommy Dark side Master SWGTCG.jpg ( Nine two eight one ) 23:33, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Zahn
Allright! Another Timothy Zahn fan! I think he is the best Star Wars author out there. The Thrawn Trilogy is what got me interested in exploring the EU. (btw, I'm gonna use ur Timothy Zahn userbox if thats allright) Togrutalover 01:35, 25 February 2009 (UTC)

RE: Confrontation on Ambria
Hey, Jon. You've done good work with the article so far :) (far better than my first Good Article :P). In the intros you need to cover the important points but leave the detail in the article body. With the Duel on Tython you need to be brief with the context as it is not about the article itself. If you want I could have a go at cutting down the intro just to give you an idea? And then you can correct any mistakes I make :P.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 15:28, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I've done it; although I hardly did anything other than add a little to your previous intro, and cut a little as well :-). Take a look over it, I'm quite tired and may have made some errors but hopefully it will give you an idea. It is good to be very brief in context in the intro and more detailed in the article body. On the conjectural title, since it is never called that in-universe you shouldn't use it at the start of the intro, similar to this current GAN, but I will leave that change to you. Also, in the first sentence of the intro, was it a duel between Darovit and Tho'natu, or Darovit and the fourteen Jedi? If it is the latter it could take some rewording. Good work on the article so far, Jon. I'll re-review after you address all my other objections, until then feel free to ask me for more help :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 16:28, 26 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey Jon, sorry to leave you hanging on the nom. I have one more objection which I just added. Great work for a first nom :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 02:28, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks so much, Jon :-). If it hadn't been for the help and encouragement of other users I would never have gotten through my first nom so I'm always happy to help :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 04:08, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

April Fool's
I noticed that you often refer to the splinter wiki by Atarumaster88. Is there a known URL for the site or has it not been created yet. I still think this new "no EU" policy is a load of nonsense, but if it turns out to be true, I'd like to be prepared. Wolf 22:06, 1 April 2009 (UTC)


 * I think this is probably just a big elaborate April Fools joke planned out by the admins in secret on IRC:
 * 1) In the Senate Hall forum, AdmirableAckbar said Wikia have introduced more stringent criteria for the creation of new wikis. If you want to create any other Star Wars wikis, it'll have to be unanimously approved by the Wookieepedia administration, and it takes months for the new servers to arrive in Wikia HQ for any new wikis. I also hear that most EU material will be deleted in the next few days, so you might want to save that to your hard drive. They havn't and he is clearly just having a laugh
 * 2) Toprawa is putting a lot of effort into getting Executor to FA, which includes a lot of EU info. If EU stuff was going to be deleted, then surely he would at least seem a bit irritated by this, as his work would have been for nothing, rather than fully supporting it
 * 3) Wookieepedia always does something for April Fools. Why would they not this year?
 * 4) Just wait until tomorrow --Jinzler 23:14, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * It seemed like an well planed joke, but I wanted to be prepared in case it wasn't. Thank you for the information, it is much appreciated. Wolf 23:21, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Just take a look at April Fools' Day 2007 and April Fools' Day 2008. site-wide april fools pranks are a tradition around here. 72.79.214.183 23:24, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Haha! Well, it had me going for a while, but I now have Indesputible evidence, and I'm laughing right along with them. &mdash; Jonjedigrandmaster  Jedi symbol.svg ( Jedi beacon ) 23:31, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

In Agreement

 * I think you're one of the rare people I can agree with on Star Wars. I don't really disagree with most things in the Expanded Universe, but more so take it as it is. Things happen in this world, as well as ours, and there's little we can do to change it. Complaining over deaths, leadership, or events does nothing. So, I view the legacy of Star Wars as a captivating and engaging story no matter what happens. I especially agree with you over the deaths in the New Jedi Order. In the ABY Expanded Universe hardly anybody dies, and there's little tragedy for the good guys (compared to the Clone Wars Era). --korydvandyke 23:55, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

EU splinter wiki

 * Yes, about that. I'm afraid you've been (at least temporarily) snookered into believing an elaborate hoax concocted especially for the occasion. This is the part where I say "Happy April Fools from your friendly, caring Wookieepedia administration." :-P :-D Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 03:13, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Recruitment
Hey, Jon :-). I see you've been creating and updating a lot of the Outcast articles, and have put Koro Ziil up for GAN, and was wondering if you'd be interested in joining our little Project? It would be a great help to have people such as yourself updating the FotJ articles as the books come out, so if you're interested let me know :D.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 01:23, 13 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Great! All you have to do is sign your name in the participants section, also we have lists which need updating, so as you create articles could you add them to their respective list so we know what needs doing :-). Look forward to working with you :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 01:45, 13 April 2009 (UTC)

Hunt for Valin Horn
I thought I would bring to your attention that I've deleted the Hunt for Valin Horn article removed redlinks to it on the site because it's really not in the scope of how we create articles. Event articles are typically reserved for concrete happenings, such as a battle or a designed mission. We wouldn't create an article for Darth Vader's hunt for Luke Skywalker after the Battle of Yavin or the Hunt for the Kaiburr crystal from Splinter of the Mind's Eye. I would suggest incorporated what information you've compiled from that article into a summary of the novel. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:03, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Koro Ziil
Hi Jon; I'm not really sure why Nighthawk did work on your GAN. I don't mean to blame him, but as it's your nom, I thought I'd let you know that I'll hold off from reviewing my objections until it's sorted out, and also give you time to look at it yourself. CC7567 (talk) 00:08, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Nevermind; I spoke too soon. :) I'll get on it, since you just looked at them. CC7567  (talk) 00:09, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * hi Jonjedigrandmaster, I'm very sorry for making edits on Koro Ziil, I was unsure as to whether I should be doing it, but I read "As stated above, any objections will be looked upon by the nominator, supporters, and anyone willing to improve the article, and action will be taken to please the objectors." in the rules, and thought that it may be ok to help out. So again, I'm really sorry about the edits, feel free to revert anything I put, and I'll withdraw any comments on the good article nom page. 01:44, 20 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, yeah I'm sorry about the confusion too- I probably should have asked you before I comented on there. Noticed you've been doing a lot of great work on articles from Outcast which I recently finished reading and thought I'd just do a couple of minor things to help you out. So if there's anything at all I can do in the future, feel free to let me know. I know my writing skills aren't great, but I'll do what I can :) 02:38, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

RE: GAN objections
Heh, I know you addressed them, hence why I struck them. I'll take another look soon. -- Darth tom  (Imperial Intelligence)  06:04, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Re:User talk:Graestan
I believe you have to talk to Ataru about it. I got mine a long time ago. Graestan ( Talk ) 14:53, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, AFAIK, the only users with Wookieepedia.com e-mail addresses are actually members of the administration. I could be wrong there, but while I manage some aspects of various mailing lists, I'm actually not the one in charge of the Wookieepedia.com accounts. The user to speak to for that would be WhiteBoy. Again, if I remember correctly, those have traditionally been given to members of the administration, but I suppose there's no harm in asking. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 19:41, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Alternately, you could set up a gmail or something with your Wook username. I was going to do that before Greyman gave me the hookup. Graestan ( Talk ) 19:43, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Legacy

 * Keep up the good work, Jon :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 08:00, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

RE: Question
Yes, I would say the move would be a good idea considering that it is two duels, and "Confrontation" works well. Keep up the great work Jon :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 01:27, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Kyp
Hi Jon,

I noticed you added some info to Kyp Durron's article and that he became angered when Savar insulted two Jedi guarding the entrance. I don't have Outcast with me but don't you mean Oric Harfard? Apologies if I'm wrong. -- —Harrar  ( Villip ) 09:52, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Raid on the Armand Isard Correctional Facility

 * Well done, Jon. If you're up for it, I would suggest you take this to the FAN :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 04:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

IRC
You should come by #WP:LE sometime. Grunny's around in the late evening and mornings, our time. Graestan ( Talk ) 01:33, 8 May 2009 (UTC)

Article talk pages
Hey Jon. It's great that you are adding to Legacy articles. I just wanted to ask you to also add to any new talk pages that you create, or if you find it is missing. It keeps everything nice and tidy. Thanks. Cylka  -talk- 01:37, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

Have a Cookiee
You've really been improving, and you've been an asset in the promotion of articles. Also, your quality has improved greatly. Keep up the good work. :)  CC7567  (talk) 01:46, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the cookie as well. :P  CC7567  (talk) 02:01, 10 May 2009 (UTC)

RFB
Jon, Jujiggum, my main man. Thank you so much for your vote. I couldn't have made it without users like you, people who gave me a chance despite reading some very good arguments against my candidacy. In the coming months, I plan to give everything I've gained and more back to Wookieepedia. Let me know if there's anything I can do for you. Graestan ( Talk ) 19:12, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Re: Burra
My original objections were based on this article, which says that "[Luke] would not act as Grand Master of the Jedi Order and would appoint Jedi Master Kenth Hamner as Grand Master." I assumed that meant Luke left the post (I don't read legacy, so I had no idea what was really the case). If Hamner was only acting GM, then I have no qualms about you changing it back. SoresuMakashi ( Everything I tell you is a lie the truth  ) 06:13, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Well, your three

 * Even though I already said it on IRC, thanks for the congrats. :)  CC7567  (talk) 15:56, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
