Quockran BTS stuff
Hey, Ey. I saw you were working on Quockran, which, as you know, is a species based on concept art for Jabba the Hutt from ROTJ. I was looking through The Art of Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi, and I saw a concept image that was obviously the inspiration for the Quockrans in the book. It's not much, but the book does at least identify the artist as Ralph McQuarrie. It's a nice, well-shaded image, but unfortunately I don't have a scanner to give you a copy. Hope this helps! ~ SavageBob 03:39, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah, p. 34. ~ SavageBob 03:43, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * It does! I'm still waiting for info from Aliens and Monsters though. Is there a caption accompanying the image at all? Or is it stated/clear that it is concept art for Jabba? [We just edit conflicted as I asked for the page number :) ] --Eyrezer 03:44, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * The only caption is, "Above left and middle left: Sketches by Ralph McQuarrie." There's nothing that explicitly says it's concept art for Jabba, but it's the fifth of five pages showing concept art of the Hutt interspersed with stills of him from the film, so it passes the duck test in my book. ~ SavageBob 03:56, April 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is this image also in The Art of Star Wars? --Eyrezer 08:19, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's in The Art of Star Wars Episode VI, yeah. I've added the information to the image's description page. If you mean is it in The Art of Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, I doubt it, but I don't have access to that one to check. ~ SavageBob 14:46, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Ma'aood
Here ya go:
 * Ma'aood: These beings built wondrous temples and protected them with inviting but deadly booby traps within the corridors.
 * &mdash;Volume 2, page 272

Grunny ( talk ) 06:19, April 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I've now updated and sourced their article accordingly. --Eyrezer 08:49, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

Drophan
Hey Eyrezer, would you mind checking out your objection to Drophan? I addressed it a week ago. Thanks :). Jonjedigrandmaster   ( We seed the stars ) 20:09, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I'd forgotten about this one. --Eyrezer 21:01, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

Film canon
Hey, Eyrezer. Do you know of a source that specifically states that when events in adaptations conflict with the film, the film takes precedence? I'd like to add something to frog-dog, but I want to ensure I have a source to back it up (even though we all know it's true!). I'll keep hunting around, but I was wondering if you might know something. Thanks! ~ SavageBob 15:10, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps this post, if you assume the adaptations count as the EU. This is clearer for games than for novelisations. --Eyrezer 22:35, May 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's a bit clearer, so thanks. I've added a note to the article about this. ~ SavageBob 23:05, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Blown Away
Hi yahh, Eyrezer, do you have a copy of the Living Force adventure Blown Away? I plan to do some work on the Kurth San article and I believe that he appears in it. Cheers, --Jinzler 01:17, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think I've already given you all my Living Force adventures, so if it was not there, then I do not have it. If I recall correctly, I've based the work on this article from what I could garner from the two links at the bottom, not from any pdf of the event. As it was an inter-active, I think that is all we are going to get. Good luck and sorry I could not help further. --Eyrezer 02:21, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * --Okay, cheers anyway :) --Jinzler 22:01, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * I hope I don't irritate you too much by asking you another question on this subject, but I notice that you created the article for Otee Nom, a character who suposedly appears in Blown Away. Nom isn't mentioned in either of the two links included in the Blown Away article, so I am just curious where you got the information on her from. --Jinzler 22:12, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm... when I originally created the page for Blown Away I did not include Otee Nom in the App section, that was added in later by another user. I did however, make the article for Nom, 5 months later so this is a little perplexing. I can not check right now, but I wonder if she might be mentioned in one of the sources on Lony Hertz's page as I seem to have linked her with him. --Eyrezer 22:36, May 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nor did I add it in to this page... The plot thickens. --Eyrezer 06:25, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Aha! I do have Blown Away! Phew, I was getting concerned there for a sec. Emailed to you. --Eyrezer 12:27, May 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks!! --Jinzler 13:26, May 6, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Congrats
Thank you! I had a nice, uncrowded wedding day and everything went fine. Now, life as a married being is beginning and everything looks wonderful. So, when's yours? ;D --Skippy Farlstendoiro 10:02, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Uthar Wynn
Please check your remaining FAN objection to Uthar Wynn when you get the chance, as it is currently preventing the nomination from being approved. Thank you.  CC7567  (talk) 01:16, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Lamproid Topps card
Hey, Ey. Do you know in what capacity Lamproids feature in the Topps cards? Is there an image that reveals any new information, or is it just another "neck" and head of Dice Ibegon? ~ SavageBob 22:16, May 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just a neck that appears in two cards. I will email you them when I get home. In one, Dice is watching Jawas arm wrestle along with several other patrons. --Eyrezer 22:20, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

CT
I reserve the right to submit opinion with my vote. If you don't like it, feel free to ask me where I think you should go and what I think you should do with yourself. Graestan ( Talk ) 15:48, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Civility
In the hopes of keeping things civil, I'd recommend not taking anything personally on the CT page in question (or on your talk page). I think the CT has merit on its own, so hopefully we can all keep personalities out of it. :) ~ SavageBob 16:33, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am sorry for my response, Eyre. I am a bit jumpy when it comes to people questioning the validity of my votes/comments. I will try to be a bit less abrasive about it in the future. Graestan ( Talk ) 16:42, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you realise your initial comments on this page are not acceptable, particularly not from an admin or bureaucrat of the site. Consider the matter closed. --Eyrezer 08:13, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

New image to Wynn
Hi Eyrezer, before I remove the image added to Wynn, I wanted to explain why. The text clearly states that it was Revan who killed Shaardan, per the CSWE. I assure you, if another image becomes available, I will add it.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 19:33, May 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * No prob. I'll send Tyber back to get another pic! --Eyrezer 07:50, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

Undefined social groups
I can't remember: did we decide to include articles on undefined social groups in our article milestones? I just CA'ed Pelemaxian, but the sources aren't clear whether they are a species or just a planetary population. What to do?! :-O ~ SavageBob 16:42, May 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * We never really made a firm policy about it, but I have no been including them. The two other examples are Leafar and Karakan and neither is on our GA portfolio page. --Eyrezer 05:32, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, and for the record, for my CAs, I have still been sourcing them - with page number - as well as ensuring they all have a link to the CUSWE if it exists. If either of these additions gives it a table of contents, I then add to the article as well. --Eyrezer 05:44, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, thanks. I'll take care of Pelemaxian then. ~ SavageBob 16:47, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the help
I know you are probably a busy person and all, but I just wanted to thank you for answering my question about Echani system. After you said it was removed, I went back to look at online companion again and felt like a dummy since it says right on the main page what systems had been removed. I shall have to take more time reading through things next time, and thanks again!  TK-299  (Click Here)  12:31, June 12, 2010 (UTC) If you have any more questions, just let me know. --Eyrezer 03:33, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. --Eyrezer 12:33, June 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hope you don't mind another quick question. The Essential Atlas Online Companion ref on the page Dimea system, do all pages with refs to EAOC need to look like yours, with the STAR WARS block next to it? Hope this makes send, if not, view Deretta system. I created thi page a few minutes ago using refs for The Essential Atlas OC.  TK-299  (Click Here) Imperial_Emblem.svg 12:04, June 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I tried to answer this earllier but the database was locked. Yes, that Template should be used whenever the Atlas Companion is listed in Sources lists, or in footnotes. One of our bots has just been through the site standardizing usage.

Regions
Hello Dan, I have managed to finish my BIBS 121 and POLS 102 papers today. These exams went very well and I managed to answer the essays. All I have left is my PHIL 105 paper which doesn't have that many essays. I have been working on the various regions of the Galaxy particularly the Core Worlds and the Outer Rim Territories. For our next Wiki projects, would it be able to develop an infobox for the individual regions and to create a box at the bottom of the articles that links the various different regions. We have such boxes for the various military campaigns like the Great Sith War and the Yuuzhan Vong War. I managed to improve the history sections. Might be good to have sections on culture, astrography, economics, etc. What do you think? Should we discuss it with the other users? Andykatib 09:39, 16th June 2009 (UTC)
 * Nice work. I'll see what I can whip up later. --Eyrezer 03:34, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Warning
Hey, i'm just warning you that a vandal is making his rounds and spore wiki has just been hit hard. You may be next! MatthewMosley 03:28, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --Eyrezer 03:36, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Elite Squadron
Here you go:

QuiGonJinn (Talk) 19:48, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I've added them both to Atrivis sector along with some initial updates. Quick question though, what happened to the Wookiees and Rebels freed from Desolation Station? Did they get off the station before it was destroyed by the tributart beam? --Eyrezer 01:27, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Everything is fine, except that X2 did not release any Rebels on Desolation Station, they were rather dispatched as his backup. And no, I have no idea what happened to the Wookiees and the Rebels on the station. The developers obviously did not care much about them :P QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 14:36, June 29, 2010 (UTC)

Jinda
Hey. If you get a moment, could you take a look at Jinda (species) before I nominate it. I'd like to run it past one of you WP:AS types first, particularly since there isn't a Jindas in the galaxy section. I figured since we only know about the Endor ones it probably wasn't needed but will add one if you think it is. Thanks. Green Tentacle (Talk) 20:30, June 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. I'll have a look tonight, but my initial impression is to agree that a JitG section would be unnecessary. --Eyrezer 01:46, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks good to go. I'll review it properly once it's nominated, but I don't think it needs a JitG. --Eyrezer 11:02, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Green Tentacle (Talk) 23:26, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Adria Reyn GAN
When you get the chance, please try to check your GAN objection to Adria Reyn, as it was addressed about a week ago and may be subject to an override from the ACs if not checked soon. Thank you.  CC7567  (talk) 06:58, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Jhor-Kai
Hey Eyrezer, the remaining issues I'm seeing with Jhor-Kai are:
 * "Jhor-Kai was an elderly Human Jedi. He lived to an old age" Very redundant; also, I doubt he was "elderly" his whole life. :P
 * "He lived to an old age, surviving on the planet Altikar IV, and eventually called through the Force to a young Twi'lek girl, Sha'lia, asking her to be his apprentice." Awkwardly worded (the "called through the Force to a young Twi'lek girl" part)
 * The last sentence is awkward as well ("in order that").
 * In the intro and P&A it sounds as though he was intending to call out to Sha'lia, while in the bio it sounds almost more like Sha'lia began dreaming of him, and it had little to do with his intentions.
 * How was the experience overwhelming to Sha'lia, and why is that important to Jhor-Kai's article?
 * Last sentence of the second paragraph of bio also contains poor wording&mdash;technically, it does not currently specify whether Sha'lia or Jhor-Kai was killed by the Imperials; the "before being killed by Imperials" could refer to either of them as it is now
 * "Seductive powers" sounds rather POV. Does the source actually use that phrasing (and if so, then does it do so in a non-POV manner)?
 * The implications of his selflessness in the P&T is POVish&mdash;perhaps with a wording tweak it could read less POVish
 * Wait, so do we know for certain whether he was a Jedi or not? The article treats him as if he was, but then in the P&A you say he might not have been and the BTS makes it sound as if saying he is a Jedi is speculation
 * Hope this helps, and please let me know if you have any objections to these objections or if I can be of any further assistance :) Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 23:20, June 24, 2010 (UTC)

Hudsol
I've set my sights on nominating Bob Hudsol. As of June 11th, 2009, you added Star Wars Encyclopedia to his sources. I cannot access my copy of the 1998 SWE right now so, maybe you could please check what's on it? Thank you in advance. Also, it's quite a far-fetched chance but, if you can find the info on him from the 2008 CSWE, I'm missing it too. Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:18, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hudsol, Bob A Corellian commander in the Rebel Alliance, he developed strong ties to the Bothan spynet. During the Battle of Yavin, he kept small groups of fighter craft separated from one another to allow several different attacks on the Death Star. p133.
 * I don't have the CSWE, so I suggest trying the WP:SWE forums. --Eyrezer 11:06, June 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you, sentient. --Skippy Farlstendoiro 11:43, June 27, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Decimator
I'm sorry; I didn't realize that it was an objection and archived it. Would it be possible for you to work the objection out with Ataru outside of the FAN? If not, I'd be willing to revert the archived stuff and return the Decimator to the FAN. Sorry again for the mistake on my part.  CC7567  (talk) 03:54, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, though I must agree with that. :P  CC7567  (talk) 04:00, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. I've been told my best bet is to ask Culator, but I'll see what I can do. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 05:03, June 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * There are two new images now in the Decimator article. :) Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 20:25, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Great. --Eyrezer 22:11, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Ysanne Isard (clone) objection
Hey Eyre, could you take a look at your objection on Featured article nominations/Ysanne Isard (clone) whenever you have a moment? Once you're satisfied that your objection has been addressed, the nom can be archived :). Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 03:52, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

New Project Lead for KotOR
Hi Eyre. I was wondering whether you would support a change in leadership of KotOR from Cylka to Jedi Kasra. Cylka is a great user, but she hasn't been around for quite some time now. I believe new leadership is needed, and Kasra is the project's most active member. Let me know what you think. Thanks, SoresuMakashi ( Everything I tell you is a lie  the truth  ) 03:01, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Soresu. I only saw your question in IRC after you left. I think Project leadership is genreally handled internally and informally by projects -- at least that is how it has worked in the projects I have been part of. That being the case, I have no problem with your proposed change. --Eyrezer 03:23, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just as an update, Kasra has officially accepted a position as Chief Editor of WookieeProject Knights of the Old Republic after Tommy pointed out that Cylka intends to return to editing at some point. SoresuMakashi ( Everything I tell you is a lie  the truth  ) 09:10, July 20, 2010 (UTC)

Regarding Jonathon message
If you will also read his page you will realise he is not much better in his comments. I guess what has me so ticked is that he is going out of his way to change something that even he does not have the answer to. I only signed into this account to edit Ferus's bio page, so if you want to delete me -- go right on ahead. I am not sure I want anything further to do with any of you if this is how seriously you guys take these books. Lighten up. ;):)(15:49, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
