Re: Question
We say then that the world is located within Republic or Separatist space. Without direct confirmation, we can't assume affiliations through the maps.  CC7567  (talk) 20:50, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * See the forum; SavageBob has a good answer to your inquiry.  CC7567  (talk) 15:43, October 28, 2012 (UTC)

Talkheader
Hello. Just a heads up that you don't need to add the "Talkheader" template to blank talk pages. Try to reserve them for pages that already have a discussion history and don't yet have the template posted. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:31, November 2, 2012 (UTC)

Image cropping
Just a head's-up, in case you weren't aware of this... Before you upload a TCW image, please make sure to crop the image to remove those black letterboxed bars from the top and bottom of the image. I've already cropped your previous two uploads for you. I wasn't sure if you were aware that they need to be cropped, so I'm telling you know. :)  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:03, December 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, there's no way to do it on Wookieepedia itself. I saved the images and cropped them in Photoshop.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:15, December 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Photoshop is a program that I use. Other programs that can be used are Paint.NET and the GIMP, which are free image programs.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:43, December 2, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Florrum
It's not entirely clear, to be honest. Grievous obviously claims control of Florrum in "A Necessary Bond," but has apparently withdrawn his forces by "Revival." Beyond what's shown in the episodes, it doesn't look like we can assume anything.  CC7567  (talk) 19:06, December 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * I would say it would be fine to add it to the article's infobox affiliations, but any lasting connection has yet to be clarified. Beyond the Ohnaka Gang's constant presence, not much else about Florrum's alignment has been shown.  CC7567  (talk) 23:54, December 8, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Images
When you select "Save As" in the File menu, and you're shown the dialogue box where you save the file, there should be a drop-down menu where you can change the file type. I haven't used GIMP in years, but from what I can remember, saving files with it was still the same as with other programs; they tend to use the same save file dialogue and options.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 07:32, December 24, 2012 (UTC)

Iego image
The two pictures of Iego that you recently uploaded were poor quality images and have therefore been deleted. Additionally, the current main image of the Iego article is fine and does not need to be replaced. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 19:30, December 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Before attempting to replace any planet images in article infoboxes, please bring up the proposed change on the relevant talk page first. Further image-related disruption may result in a block from editing. Thank you for your cooperation. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 02:18, December 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * This is your final warning. Further disruption will result in a block from editing. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 01:16, December 27, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Fauna
You're right; my mistake. Thanks for correcting that.  CC7567  (talk) 19:48, December 29, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Timeline
Leland Chee, the manager of the Holocron continuity database, gave input for the current episode timeline, which was first published in Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide: Updated and Expanded last April. He's been slowly filling in the holes in the timeline in a blog series on the Official StarWars.com Blog. The other publication that looks like it'll tie everything up, at least through the hundredth episode, is the upcoming Star Wars: The Clone Wars: Episode Guide. There's no way to say if and when there will be no issues with the timeline, but according to Leland Chee we're going to have to wait for the series to end for TCW to be reconciled with the original EU timeline of the Clone Wars.  CC7567  (talk) 06:36, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * We don't know. Any information released on the book will be added to its article.  CC7567  (talk) 07:42, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Devaron
Whatever is in the episode is what we know; anything else is speculation. The two conflicts have so far been portrayed to be separate, as the Battle of Devaron ended in "Children of the Force," while "Monster" started the battle at the temple.  CC7567  (talk) 08:57, January 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * It seems prudent to assume that the Separatists conquered the Temple, but it's already implied to some degree (at least in the article's infobox) with the fact that the battle resulted in a Separatist victory. 06:13, January 14, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Kohlma
Actually it is, the gravitational tides and rain are unsourced and attributed to Bogg 4. Rokkur Shen (talk) 03:53, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Dooku's Lair
Do you mind telling me exactly what's disputed on Dooku's Lair? Rokkur Shen (talk) 04:04, January 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * It has been established in no less than two sources that the lair was on Kohlma and that Jango's pursuit of Komari Vosa was a test by Dooku. Take note, at the end of the game Bounty Hunter Dooku is actually present and kills Komari. He knew she was there all along and his proximity was most likely a way of keeping an eye on her. Rokkur Shen (talk) 04:17, January 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sidious was able to mask his presence. It is more than probable that Dooku could also (until he wished her to know). Rokkur Shen (talk) 04:29, January 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Here, hope this helps. From Dooku's page: "Dooku also mastered the Qey'tek meditation, which allowed him to hide his presence in the Force. Opposing Jedi were usually unable to pierce this concealment, although Kenobi succeeded on Tythe when he was previously aware Dooku was present." Rokkur Shen (talk) 12:57, January 19, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Umbara
Unfortunately, I just went back to school, so I won't have access to the majority of my collection (including those books) for a while. I don't remember offhand what they had to say about Umbara, sorry.  CC7567  (talk) 16:08, January 21, 2013 (UTC)

Uploads
While all good-faith contributions to Wookieepedia are appreciated, we ask that you please refer to Images, which can be found under the "other policies and guidelines" link in your welcome message, and familiarize yourself with the sourcing and licensing requirements before uploading any more images. The only uploading method supported by Wookieepedia, Special:Upload, will prompt you to enter this information. Wikia's non-standard upload forms are not supported under Wookieepedia policy, and ignorance of the uploading rules is not an acceptable excuse. Continued violation of the image policy or falsification of any information in an upload description are considered vandalism and will likely result in a block. Thank you. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 05:36, February 2, 2013 (UTC)

Hello Separatist!
Hello there, this is Dan Grievous!

So happy that there is somebody else on here that I see is a big CIS fan. I see you are working hard to update and improve the CIS articles. We have to join forces for imbetterment of the CIS articles on this site. What do you say? --Dangrievous (talk) 22:27, February 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * I had in mind any articles related to CIS leadership like the Council or the Commanders... and even awesome droids. The CIS deserve some editing love...--Dangrievous (talk) 19:53, February 4, 2013 (UTC)

Zabrak
Pythonis, before you delete content from articles, can you please find a source that claims that Maul was not a Zabrak? It needs to specifically say his new species. Thanks,  JangFett  (Talk) 06:47, February 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Please do not continue to revert back and forth on Savage Opress. The article is turning into an edit war, with the risk of breaking the three-revert rule, which is a blockable offense. If you disagree with another user, please start a discussion on the talk page instead of continuing to revert edits. Otherwise, the page is going to be locked from editing to prevent further edit warring. Thank you.  CC7567  (talk) 15:26, February 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Please know that Wookieepedia is not a source and somethings (including bts material) could be unsourced, unverified information and/or speculation. If SW.com does say so, then that is fine, but the BTS needs to properly reflect this. If a newer source changes Maul's species, action must be taken in his article. Please be more careful in the future.  JangFett  (Talk) 18:01, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Sabotage images
Thanks for pointing that out. I'll delete the duplicate one that I uploaded.  CC7567  (talk) 17:51, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Assault
The Trade Federation's allegiance hasn't been entirely mapped out chronology-wise by the TV series (or by the EU), but it&mdash;as well as Cato Neimoidia&mdash;started out as part of the Republic at the beginning of the war, as seen in "Senate Spy" and the fact of Lott Dod's representation of the Federation in the Senate. The only other thing that we know is that by the time of Labyrinth of Evil, in which the Battle of Cato Neimoidia is depicted, the Federation is clearly aligned with the Separatists in a way that we haven't yet seen in the TV series. We don't know what will eventually happen, but that middle ground between the Federation's allegiance with the Republic, and later the Separatists, is apparently where the "Sabotage" battle takes place, so it seems prudent to assume that the planet was still part of the Republic at the time of "Sabotage."  CC7567  (talk) 05:30, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Hi there. I created two articles for personal lightsabers and I had the images ready to put in the infobox but it doesn't seem to fit the entire box - the colour of the box shows around the image. So I put the images in the article and not in the box. Is there anyway to fix that? Thanks. 124.181.152.246 07:18, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Teth
For consistency's sake, I'll remove it, but I just want to point out that it's not technically incorrect. Thanks for bringing that up.  CC7567  (talk) 05:41, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Battle of Umbara aftermath
Hello there, per the layout guide, aftermath sections are for anything relevant to the battle, not just the planet, and that includes the bit about Krell. Please quit removing it, as I don't wish to perpetuate an edit war with you. Corellian Premier The Force will be with you always 16:55, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Tactical droid
For the most part, yes, it should be reasonable to assume that they were the same height barring modifications.  CC7567  (talk) 21:19, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Unused images
If you can find a legitimate article in which to place an image currently on the unused images page, then you may remove it from the list. However, only an admin, typically maintains it, may add an image to the list. If an image is unused, it will end up on this list, even if it isn't this go round. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 02:46, February 20, 2013 (UTC)

Quermia
I honestly cannot remember. Feel free to remove that info. Cheers.  Stake black   msg 19:00, March 9, 2013 (UTC)

CIS
Since we do not know when the planets became capitals, it would be best to not identify them as "later campaigns" without a source. Thanks,  JangFett  (Talk) 16:56, July 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * They are considered capitals due to the Separatist Council being there. That's the issue with TCW vs original continuity. The CIS is more like a Rebellion with planet hopping captials instead of a static planet like Coruscant. I wish a guide would further clarify the capitals throughout the Clone Wars.  JangFett  (Talk) 02:38, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Linking
Hey Pythonis, please take a look at your edit here. You don't have to pipelink like that. Instead, do senator or homeworld. Doing homeworld is redundant and incorrect formatting.  JangFett  (Talk) 15:33, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * You're welcome.  JangFett  (Talk) 15:46, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Formatting
As an example from another TCW article, R3-S6 uses two references in the affiliation parameter: one for his affiliation with the Republic and one for a spy. He was confirmed to be affiliated with the Republic in one TCW episode, but he wasn't confirmed to be a spy until the next TCW episode. Therefore, two references have to be used. I would say that the sourcing in the CIS-Republic article is fine, since apparently the senatorial positions were mentioned in the TCW episode (ex, Senator Amidala). You may source the senators to the episode and the captions to another source, but it would be redundant imo. Does that answer your question?  JangFett  (Talk) 19:45, July 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * If the episode doesn't mention the senatorial positions, then it's fine. But certain positions, like Padme and/or Bail, as examples, are self sourcing imo.  JangFett  (Talk) 19:57, July 5, 2013 (UTC)

Image
Hey Pythonis, is there any way to get a clear shot of File:Gossam senator-HOBS.png? If not, then no worries. The other smaller image seemed fine.  JangFett  (Talk) 15:18, July 8, 2013 (UTC)
