Don't sweat it
Hey, Lamp774! I just wanted to let you know why I removed a few things you recently added to Wookieepedia. For instance, you edited the Dams Denna article to say he was possibly a Human and that his homeworld was Naboo. Well, actually, we don't know what his species is (since other little people, like Rycar Ryjerd have been classified as Bimms) and no source says what his homeworld originally was. It may be Naboo, but we just don't know. In short, we don't allow speculation on Wookieepedia, only things that have been established as "facts" in the Star Wars universe. Also, you added "podracing" as the affiliation of various characters. Actually, "podracing" is a job, not an affiliation. For affiliation, think of faction, like the Republic, or the Empire, or whatever. At the end of the day, you seem like a well-intentioned contributor, so please don't let the fact that some of your edits were reverted get you down. We have a lot of rules and conventions around here, so it may take some time to get used to. Let me know if you have any questions! ~ Savage  14:55, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, on affiliation fields in infoboxes, there's no need to list every affiliation. For instance, Orn Free Taa's protocol droid is affiliated with Orn Free Taa, so you don't have to add "Galactic Republic" and "Galactic Senate" above that; the smallest affiliation is sufficient. You can just say the smallest bit of the faction; you don't have to list them all. If you continue to do this, people are going to get angry and they may block you. Just be careful, OK? :) ~ Savage BOB sig.png 14:58, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok. I added Podracer on some of those because I saw several others that had that, I didn't know. I'll be careful of that kind of thing, as well as like on Orn's droid. And on the Dams Denna, I wasn't thinking that he could be a Bimm..he just looked human and I forgot. So sorry, I'll try to do better! I spend loads of time on Wookieepedia, but I hardly edit, I'm just starting on that.--Lamp774 15:06, January 22, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * It's OK; I knew they were honest mistakes. :) Another thing I'm noticing is that you have added homeworlds to a bunch of articles based on the character's species. Be careful, because this is also speculation unless a source explicitly says that the character was from that world. This is because many alien species have colonies on other worlds, or pockets of me members on other worlds, especially on large, cosmopolitan worlds like Coruscant. Therefore, we can't assume someone comes from their species' homeworld unless the sources tell us so. Finally, be sure to read WP:CITE. It will tell you about adding sources to Wookieepedia to back up claims made in articles. I haven't noticed you citing any sources, which is possibly another reason people have been removing your edits from various articles. Good luck, and, again, I'm happy to answer questions! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 15:07, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Ok. Yeah, I'm new to editing, so sorry if I made all these mistakes. I'll be sure now to only make edits that are absolutely true, with a source to back it up.--Lamp774 15:10, January 22, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Oh yeah forgot to ask: On a few Separatists I've seen Republic on their affiliation, which is fine because they used to be, but on some of them (like I just did Rogwa Wodrata) I put formerly in parentheses after it. I've seen that done before so I'm assuming this is okay? --Lamp774 15:17, January 22, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Apparently not since they've already all been removed. :P I won't do that anymore either --Lamp774 15:19, January 22, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * No worries; we're glad to have you aboard. Just be careful about our rules and so on. There are a lot of them, so if someone removes your edits and you can't tell why, be sure to ask them on their talk page for clarification. As for the "formerly" thing, I'm not really sure. I've seen it done both ways. You might ask on his talk page, since he's written several articles on Senators. He might know the answer. I tend to concentrate on alien species articles, myself, so my specialized knowledge here is slim... :/ ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 15:21, January 22, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, I asked them. (Forgot signature though...hope that's not a big violation...oopsies..:P) --Lamp774 15:29, January 22, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * You should just go back and add the signature! Otherwise, he'll probably add an "unsigned" thingie after it, but it's always better to sign yourself. Good luck! I've got to get some non-wiki work done now. :) ~ Savage BOB sig.png 15:31, January 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Another thing: Only use Galactic_character_infobox and the other ones like it when the character actually worked for that particular faction. For instance, the Wookiees who fought with the Republic on Kashyyyk during the Clone Wars were not actually members of the Galactic Republic on any grand scale, even though they were allied with it in one particular battle. The Galactic_character_infobox is for senators, clones, members of the government, etc. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 01:16, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Ok, well some of them actually said Galactic Republic as their faction and plus some of the major ones like Tarfful and a few other members of Merumeru's volunteers already had it that way, so I figured that all of them should have it but I see your point. (Wow seems like nothing I do is right :P) --Lamp774 01:20, January 23, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * Like I said, a lot of rules 'round here, some of which don't seem to make sense all of the time. :) A good rule of thumb is to judge unclear policies based on featured and good articles. These are articles that represent our best work. So, for example, Lachichuk is a Featured article, which doesn't necessarily mean that it doesn't have any errors, but it probably means it has most details, like which infobox to use, right. When in doubt, follow the FAs and GAs. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 04:08, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Infoboxes
Hey there! There's no policy on it, so I can only tell you what I personally think. I'm not a fan of adding things like "formerly" to character infoboxes, as I believe that infoboxes should reflect a character's entire life rather than the moment in time that they appear in canon. For example, Jedi Coalition is the final affiliation listed for Wedge Antilles, but "formerly" isn't listed next to everything he served beforehand. Again, this is nothing more than my opinion, but it may be worth getting some community consensus on in the future. Cheers! Menkooroo 03:13, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Ah. Just wanted to check, because Wedge becoming a member of the Coalition is a little different than a Republic senator switching sides, because in the senator's case they are no longer on the same side of the war. Just wanted to check, thanks! --Lamp774 21:30, January 23, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Ground beetle
Hi, I see you added EP3 to the appearances list of the Ground beetle. I had removed EP3 from the list a few months ago after this discussion, as the beetle on Dagobah in EP3 seems to be a Gelagrub and not the same as the beetle from Galaxies. Or does the beetle depicted in the infobox picture appear in the deleted scene? I don't have access to my EP3 DVD at the moment, so I can't check it for myself. Regards, --Craven 18:21, February 4, 2012 (UTC)

Well, I was on the EP3 article and it said on the creatures list that it appeared in a deleted scene. I'm not actually 100% sure it does, guess I just trusted that page. Next time I watch it I will look in the deleted scenes and keep an eye out for the beetle. --Lamp774 11:41, February 5, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Wait, a Gelagrub?? Aren't they those oversized things on Felucia that the clones were riding on? Don't think it was that. But I'll still look sometime soon. --Lamp774 11:44, February 5, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774


 * I don't know, according to Senator_Cilghal in that discussion, the beetle on Dagobah looks like a small gelagrub. Don't know if it's really a gelagrub, but it seems it's not the same beetle as the one from Galaxies. I'm removing EP3 from the appearance list for now, maybe we need a separate article for the EP3 beetle. --Craven 20:59, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Okay. --Lamp774 22:13, February 6, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Categories
Hello. Please do not add mainspace categories to your userpage, such as Category:Jedi Masters, as that places your userpage in that category along with other relevant articles. Please remove them from your userpage when you have a chance. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:53, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Ok okay. Sorry didn't think about that when I first made my profile. I will remove them. --Lamp774 21:57, February 5, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Infobox titles
Please take a look at the fifth item that was passed during the recent Mofference. You must include parenthetical descriptors for conjectural titled articles. I corrected the titles for the unidentified Nightsisters, but please watch out in the future. Thanks,  JangFett  (Talk) 16:37, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I see. I will look out for that in the future. I did not create those for the Nightsisters, but I will do this in any future articles I create or do a major edit on. --Lamp774 16:42, February 26, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * Just to let you know, the affiliation field is reserved for mostly governmental and established organizations, not places or anything alike. Thanks,  JangFett  (Talk) 15:23, April 28, 2012 (UTC)

Provedence class
Your recent edit on Unidentified Providence-class carrier/destroyer (Dathomir) added all of the battle ship specifics of the Provedence class. Instead, take a look at the info box of Grievous's Providence-class carrier/destroyer. This example does not have all of the specifics, just the known facts from the episode. Try to leave the battle ship specifics on the provedence page unless a source tells you that Dathomir ship had all of those. (For all we know it could have different specifics, even though it is a Provedence class). Thanks, 501st Dogma Republic_emblem.png( Comlink ) 16:50, February 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks for the heads up. I am not very experienced in editing ship pages. Should I remove the recent edit?--Lamp774 16:52, February 26, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * Just remove the stuff that is not necessary. Use Grievous's Providence-class carrier/destroyer as an example. 501st Dogma Republic_emblem.png( Comlink ) 16:56, February 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Please take a look at my edit. I have cleaned the page up, but do it yourself in the future. 501st Dogma Republic_emblem.png( Comlink ) 13:35, February 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, thank you for the help and advice. I will watch out in the future. (Did not see your one that said to remove the stuff..or I would have..so don't take that the wrong way.)--Lamp774 21:44, February 29, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * Not taken wrong way, don't worry. 501st Dogma Republic_emblem.png( Comlink ) 22:04, February 29, 2012 (UTC)

Hello
Hey, I just wanted to say that I'm glad I'm not the only teen on Wookieepedia. So far the only people I've seen around (except for you, of course) have been adults, as far as I can tell. It's nice to know that there's some interest in Star Wars in my generation.--BrishaDayes 17:10, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Hey there, I'm new and was wondering if you could look over my edit to Dathomir. Thanks mate, and good to know there are other teens here!!! --Grand Admiral Peds 17:55, February 26, 2012 (UTC)

Hey there Grand Admiral Peds, I would love to look over your edit but am having a little trouble finding what you changed for some reason, could you specify? --Lamp774 18:03, February 26, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Sorry, forgot to specify :P. It's under the Clone Wars and Galactic Civil War, the paragraph that starts at "Around 21 BBY...". Thanks, --Grand Admiral Peds 19:39, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I see now. Yes, the edit is fine. --Lamp774 19:44, March 31, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Haha, thanks mate! And your page just made my day!!! Thanks alot!! :) --Grand Admiral Peds 20:51, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

Capitalization
Please make sure to keep proper English capitalization in mind when creating articles&mdash;for example, Unidentified RA-7 protocol droid (Tatooine) is the proper capitalization instead of "Protocol Droid." Please refer to the Manual of Style and Layout Guide if you have any questions. Thank you.  CC7567  (talk) 07:32, March 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, thank you for the advice. I guess I never saw that when I first read the manual of style. I figured it was customary for titles to have all capitalized words. Now I know the proper way, thank you. --Lamp774 11:48, March 3, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Re: Brothers
Apologies, the removal wasn't intentional; it looks like we had an edit conflict. Feel free to re-add them to the article.  CC7567  (talk) 03:01, March 10, 2012 (UTC)

Oh, I see. Thank you. --Lamp774 03:02, March 10, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Talk pages
Please stop spamming talk pages with irrelevant messages like "if you're doing that for the fanon thing, it's an APRIL FOOLS JOKE". The additions made are all within policy.  nayayen ★talk  11:13, April 1, 2012 (UTC)

Fine. I'll stop. But I still think it's wrong... --Lamp774 11:16, April 1, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Yavin 4 Insider 133
--The Lampshade... (talk) 21:06, April 30, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * Hello! I was wondering if you could list all the characters that are named in the Massassi Temple in 'Star Wars Insider 133'. I don't have the magazine yet, but I'd really like to see a scan of the first page to see who's who! Thanks :) --Sompeetalay 00:14, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I can do that. I will first write them here and then transfer them to any article in need of them, like Rogues Gallery.
 * Deacon Eso
 * Caf Treblanc
 * Tyr Taskeen
 * C-3PO
 * Bob Hudsol
 * Duron Veertag
 * Anj Zavor
 * R2-D2
 * Luke Skywalker
 * Leia Organa Solo
 * Arhul Hextrophon
 * Han Solo
 * Jan Dodonna
 * Voren Na'al
 * Chewbacca
 * Evram Lajaie
 * Pashna Starkiller
 * Morts Werl
 * Thx! Now all we need is a screenshot from the movie for all the newly named characters, especially for the ones on the left page in the Insider :) --Sompeetalay 21:47, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes. I am no good with images but I am trying to get some of the new characters like Deacon Eso etc. --The Lampshade... (talk) 21:48, April 30, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * If you provide me a scan of that first page, I'll upload screenshots on Yodapedia (check out Morts Werl). You can send it to sompeetalay@gmail.com. I just like to know who's who :) --Sompeetalay 08:11, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * My camera turns everything blue...so you can't really see it. You need to ask someone who has a better camera if they can get you the scan. --The Lampshade... (talk) 20:15, May 1, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * Oh dear. Can I mail you some pictures of the ceremony? You could then tell me who's who :) --Sompeetalay 20:20, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, that would be okay. pellenorfields@gmail.com. I guess you could also put them on Twitter or TheForcebook but I don't know if you have those. --The Lampshade... (talk) 20:23, May 1, 2012 (UTC)--The Lampshade... (talk) 20:23, May 1, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * Yes, both. TheForceBook as Sompeetalay and Twitter as 'Tim Veekhoven'. --Sompeetalay 21:41, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * Upload a picture of the scene on the Forcebook and I will tell you in the comment. --The Lampshade... (talk) 21:45, May 1, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * The images in your pictures you sent as an email seem to differ from the one in the magazine....hmm.....perhaps we really do need someone to send you a scan of the pages in it. :( --The Lampshade... (talk) 21:53, May 1, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * From the image from the email picture you sent: The one on the farthest left is Deacon Eso. The one behind him in white is Caf Treblanc. The one to the left of C-3PO is Tyr Taskeen. The one behind C-3PO is obviously Bob Hudsol, he was already named. The one to the right of him that you can only see the head is Duron Veertag. The one behind R2-D2 is Anj Zavor. The one between Leia and Han is Arhul Hextrophon. There are 6 more that you cannot see in the email image that are too far to the right. Hope I helped! --The Lampshade... (talk) 20:40, May 2, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * Thank you ! :) --Sompeetalay 21:03, May 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem! And in case you find another photo, here are the rest: Behind Jan Dodonna is Voren Na'al, the three to the right of Chewbacca in order are of course Evram Lajaie, who has already been named, Pashna Starkiller, and on the end is Morts Werl. --The Lampshade... (talk) 21:06, May 2, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Cheers
Thanks for fixing up my affiliations! I'm not 100% pleased with those pages anyway, I just wanted to get a few started so I don't forget or get overwhelmed as the character count racks up. So thanks for fixing that! :) Derpherpherp 10:55, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but which pages were they again? It's hard to keep track when you've edited like 2400 pages. --The Lampshade... (talk) 10:56, May 6, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774
 * Just a bunch of Revanite people. Derpherpherp 11:01, May 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, those. Well, I'm always happy to help! :) --The Lampshade... (talk) 11:02, May 6, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Inuse
The Inuse template has been placed on the Samoc Farr article for the time being as I update the article with new material. This is designed to reserve the page for a user's specific use while it is undergoing active work, as you will see if you read the template. Please refrain from editing the article, or indeed any such article, while this template is up. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 00:38, May 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm sorry. That was my fault if I didn't see it. I wouldn't ever edit one of those on purpose, I guess I just wasn't paying attention. Sorry. --The Lampshade... (talk) 00:53, May 18, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Eras
Please be aware that the Eras template is reserved for only those eras in which the subject has made an actual canonical appearance. It should not be used for eras that the subject is merely presumed to have existed in. I have therefore reverted your edits to Snow falcon and Singing fig tree. Please keep this in mind in the future. :) &mdash;MJ&mdash; Council Chambers Thursday, June 7, 2012, 01:32 UTC
 * Ok. I figured that might happen, I felt kind of sketchy while doing those. I won't do that again. --The Lampshade... (talk) 11:14, June 7, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Droid Rearrangement
I have taken the liberty of rearranging the droids which appeared in the the clone wars episode Massacre. It appears there were two other droids which had lines before the ones you listed, so those are now Unidentified B1 battle droid (Dathomir) and Unidentified B1 battle droid 2 (Dathomir). The ones you created, the first one is now the Unidentified B1 battle droid 4 (Dathomir) and the second one is Unidentified B1 battle droid 3 (Dathomir). The third one is now Unidentified B1 battle droid 5 (Dathomir).

Just thought I should let you know in case you don't know how to arrange them on your userpage. TheMasterMind 20:33, June 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Alrighty. The whole Dathomir droids thing looks fine to me. And on my user page I just have the pages I've created in order of when I made them. Whenever I make a new one it goes on there. --The Lampshade... (talk) 10:50, June 17, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Regarding your unidentified Nightsisters article
Hello, Lamp774! I see you're currently creating a bunch of articles for unidentified Nightsisters&mdash;which is all right with me. I just wanted to point one thing out, though: a female Dathomirian and a regular Human female with pale skin are completely indistinguishable. So I guess you shouldn't add "Dathomirian" as the species on thoses articles, unless it is explicitely told in some source. --LelalMekha 11:28, June 24, 2012 (UTC)
