Formatting
Thank you for contributing to Wookieepedia. I see that you have made quite a few Galaxies-related articles. However, please remember that char-stub or any stub template must go after the main text body and before appearances. I've seen you placed them before the text, which is not the way it's done. Also, for characters, it is appropriate to place a Eras template on the top of the page, too. Cheers,  JangFett  (Talk) 21:13, June 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Two other things: First, please specify the gender and species in the text (if known) instead of just saying "an individual" and listing them only in categories. Second, Category:Unidentified sentient species is only for whole species; individuals whose species are not known go in Category:Individuals of unidentified species. Thanks. &mdash; Master Jonathan New Jedi Order.svg ( Jedi Council Chambers ) 15:32, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Imperial Oasis GAN
Hey. Do you plan to work on your Imperial Oasis good article nomination? There are several unaddressed objection that have been there for a week; and if you don't address them within two weeks, the AgriCorps will start a vote to remove your nomination. Thanks. -- 1358  (Talk) 19:29, August 13, 2010 (UTC)

New pages
Hey there. Thanks for contributing with the creation of new pages. I just wanted to remind you that each article needs to be placed in the appropriate category. Thanks. Cylka  -talk- 17:54, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Dorumaa

 * Hi Starsider, I'd just like to take this opportunity to congratulate you for all your work on enhancing Wookieepedia's SWG content. I just noticed in the edit history of the Dorumaa article, you added SWG as an indirect mention in the appearances section of the article, so I was wondering if you could let me know where in SWG Dorumaa is mentioned. I am trying to improve Wookieepedia's "Living Force campaign" articles, so this information would be very useful to me. Thanks! --Jinzler 13:49, November 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi there, thanks for the compliments. I'll get back to you on that as soon as I can :) StarsiderSWG 17:52, November 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, well in the game, player can loot A. Rahring's A Galaxy Befuddled. In the article, it makes mention of Dorumaan leviathan's. From this, an indirect mention of Dorumaa can be inferred.
 * Thank you! Thats a great help to me. --Jinzler 12:47, November 29, 2010 (UTC)

Imperial Oasis Incident

 * Just wanted to say that I really liked your winning painting. Hung it up in the first floor of my Mustafar bunker :).  OLIOSTER  (talk) 22:11, November 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hehe, thanks a lot, I'm glad you like it :) StarsiderSWG 00:31, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Image Categories
Your uploads from SWG are great, but they'd be even more awesome if you would throw as some image categories on them. SinisterSamurai 01:24, December 22, 2010 (UTC)

That
Hi, when creating your numerous SWG articles, please note one should say  was an individual who lived rather than  was an individual that lived. Cheers. 1358 (Talk)  20:25, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Yoda Stories
You seem to have a reason to believe Yoda Stories should not be considered non-canon. Wookieepedia has always treated this video game as a non-canon source. Please explain your reasoning before changing every article to your preference. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:18, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * A lot of the articles listed aspects Yoda stories as canon, not non-canon. So I simply made it ambiguous. Ambiguous seems fine, since there has been no official ruling that the game is canon or not. Elements of it are canon (such as the items, planets etc). So making it ambiguous makes sense. StarsiderSWG 21:20, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Just because elements that appear in the game are canon doesn't by itself elevate the game to a higher canonicity. AFAIK, Wookieepedia treats the game as non-canon because the storyline is simply incompatible with the rest of Star Wars continuity during that time period (between ESB and ROTJ), which is the same treatment we would apply to any source of similar circumstance. Respectfully speaking, I would recommend not taking it upon yourself to decide that we're going to change all of our articles because it makes more sense to you that way. Your best bet is to start a community forum discussion if you're that invested in the issue. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:31, February 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * I honestly couldn't care either way. I can just as easily make sure they say the appearances of items and planets in that game are non-canon StarsiderSWG 21:35, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Dathomir
Hey Starsider&mdash;I was wondering if you had played the Death Troopers content on SWG? I had some questions regarding the backstory and was hoping you could help me out. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 00:42, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi there! I havent done all of it yet, though I'd be more than happy to help as best as I can. If there's any questions you have, feel free to ask. Otherwise I can post what information I know of later on StarsiderSWG 00:32, August 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * What you've told me so far is great. I'll be asking more about story information pretty soon, but for now, could you tell me which different species appear as members of the undead in the game? Animals included, if any apply. Thanks so much! Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 23:42, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Scott Downey
I am removing it because it's speculation. There is no real connection. For all we know, those characters could be named after the Asst Prof of Ag Econ & Cons Scien/Retail at Purdue. Without any confirmation, it really shouldn't be mentioned even in a BTS section. <- Omicron (Leave a message at the BEEP! ) 15:51, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you really sure about this? I underatand what you're saying, but think about how absurd it is not even to mention his name briefly in the BTS. First of all, Scott Downey actually worked on the Hoth instance as an artist in SWG. Secondly, both Scott and Downey stand right next to each other in the Hoth instance. Thirdly, no other Scott Downey has been credited for working on SWG, nor does any other famous representation of Scott Downey exist anywhere else. Fourthly, I don't see how it's speculation to say that Scott Downey really did work on the Hoth instance. The BTS segment merely informs players that while Scott Downey did work on Hoth, they shouldn't jump to an absolute conclusion that the two characters were named after him. But still, I see no reason not to include his name in the BTS. At the very least, I would like a second or third opinion, and if they agree with what you're saying, I'll let the issue go. StarsiderSWG 15:54, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I agree with you, Starsider. If you bring this article to the GAN page, you'll probably find that others do too. Menkooroo 15:57, August 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I'm not too knowledgeable on how that works, but I'll probably go ahead and do that. StarsiderSWG 15:59, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Imperial Oasis
Please note that an objection still remains on your Imperial Oasis GAN, and since it just reached its two-week inactivity period, the nomination is now subject to removal by the AgriCorps. Since the nomination is just one AC vote away from passing, I'd recommend trying to address Tommy's remaining objection as soon as possible. Thank you.

SWG question
Hi Starsider, I'm Hunter Kahn. I saw on the talk page for SWG that you were in the process of gathering as much SWG-related info as possible before the servers shut down, and that you've already taken a lot of screenshots. I was wondering, do you have any screenshots from the missions assigned by Zekka Thyne (Bothan)? And if so, do you think you could send them to me at hunterkhn at gmail dot com? I did the FA for Zekka Thyne and would like to write the Bothan-version article up to CA or GA, but I don't have SWG so I don't have the specifics on him. (I've sent this same inquiry to Darth Morrt.) Let me know if it's not too much trouble. Thanks! — Hunter Kahn  20:52, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I much appreciate it. — Hunter Kahn  21:03, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * Incidentally, I have a question for you, since you seem to know your SWG. I understand the servers will be shutting down for good at the end of this year. What does this mean for Wookieepedia's coverage of SWG? Is there any kind of concentrated effort going on here at the Wook to try to obtain as much of the information from SWG as possible before the servers go down? — Hunter Kahn  15:00, September 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem, take your time. As for the SWG stuff, I'm glad to hear something is being done to try to preserve as much of that info as possible before it shuts down. I don't have SWG anymore (I used to, WAY back in the day, but I don't even have a PC now, only Mac) so I don't think I can help much but if there's anything I can do, please don't hesitate to let me know. — Hunter Kahn  19:01, September 13, 2011 (UTC)

Good work!

 * Good work on your first good article! I hope to see more great SWG articles from you.  OLIOSTER  (talk) 14:03, September 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! StarsiderSWG 19:30, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Hey!
Hey Starsider, I wanted to thank you again for your help with the Imperial bioweapons Project I71A article so far, but I have a few more questions before I can finish up. I remember you mentioning something about taking several screenshots of dialogue on Dathomir.... do you maybe have a link to those screenshots so I could view them and get some dialogue? Thanks! Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 08:10, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Did you forget about me? Haha just checking in. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 07:57, October 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh okay, no worries then. Thanks in advance! Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 19:22, October 25, 2011 (UTC)

SWG
Hello, Starsider. I see you've recently added Star Wars Galaxies to the Tarrin Datch page's Appearances list. May I ask in what manner the character appears in this game for article updating purposes? Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:46, October 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey. While you're at it could you please let me know what Keyan Farlander, Iran Ryad and Maarek Stele do in the game. Thanks. Green Tentacle (Talk) 17:57, October 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello. I would ask the same question with Chiraneau. Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 23:11, October 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * And can I ask the same for DS-181-4 please :). Cheers, grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 02:04, October 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi all! In case you're not reading this, I'll post on your respective pages later. But to put it briefly, all these characters now have appearances in SWG as "elite pilots" that players can defeat. Essentially a player talks to a space station, and can attack Rebel or Imperial starships depending on their faction. Eventually, a random elite pilot comes in to attack the player. If the player is Rebel, this could be anyone like Darth Vader, Mara Jade, or DS-181-4. When the player defeats the elite pilot, they don't die. They apparently just tell the player they've been defeated, and they hyper out of the system. Then the player gets a badge. Unfortunately, details are somewhat sketchy, as this is new content, and there is less than 2 months left on SWG's lifespan. So I'm trying to get screenshots of the pilots in SWG, but I'm not that good at the space portion. StarsiderSWG 15:07, October 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info. Hanzo Hasashi 19:17, October 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * There's also the chance for (at least some of) them to appear during the Nebulon-B vs Lancer frigate battles that occur every couple of hours in many starsystems. I've seen Celchu, Datch, Cracken and Vader I think. It's possible to stay away far enough to avoid being attacked, then target and /examine them to take a screenshot of their starfighters. But they are way too fast for me to take any decent screenshot of them outside of the /examine window. --Craven 13:48, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the info Craven. But I must wonder, is it only the ship that appears, or can you actually see the pilot? In space, when you attack spaceships, a comm window will pop up occasionally, basically just to egg on the player in combat. I wonder if these elite pilots do the same, because if so, it would allow us to post profile images for characters who do not yet have any. StarsiderSWG 17:47, October 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, never thought of that. I've only seen those pilots in the capital ship battles and I can't shoot them down in my slow Rihkxyrk. They are way too fast and I doubt I could defeat Tier 8 or 9 fighters during the duty missions. :/ --Craven 20:42, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

SWG updates
Hey Starsider, three GAs were spared from being put on probation at meeting forty today because you said you'd be able to provide the information needed to update them. If you could make sure to do this before the next meeting rolls around (it hasn't been scheduled yet, but it'll probably be about a month from now) it would be much appreciated. Thanks! Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 20:52, November 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Certainly, feel free. :) Cheers, Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 05:11, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey Starsider, I saw the edit you made to DS-181-4. Do you consider the update complete, and the article itself no longer needing an update tag? If so, then that tag can be removed, and one of them is now completely spared. :) Hanzo Hasashi 19:39, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
