Style
Please refer to the Manual of Style for how to correctly write articles. Kuralyov 15:37, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Duplicating articles
Please take care when you are creating new articles - the Obro Skai (incorrect spelling), Opee Sea Killer (capitalization), and Sando Aqua Monster (capitalization) articles that you created already existed here. --Azizlight 14:29, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)

The Opee Sea Killer and the Sando Aqua Monster were links right form the main StarWars Wiki entry, so I saw they were red, and decided to create them.

Sorry about the misspelling on Obro Skai.
 * No worries. Yeah the Opee Sea Killer and Sando Aqua Monster pages weren't your fault, because Wookieepedia is case sensitive. Sometimes it's worth doing a search before creating an article, just to be sure. I thought I'd mention it because I didn't want you to make the same mistake again :-) --Azizlight 14:42, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * And don't be discouraged, they're just "newbie" mistakes. You'll get the hang of it in no time :-) --Azizlight 21:30, 8 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Korsima
CBenoit, we would like to know where you got your information about the planet Korsima. At the moment it is suspected fanon and is being considered for deletion. Thanks. --Azizlight 03:11, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)

I got the info from TheForce.Net, forget where exactly.

Its probably best that you delete it.

Sorry for the inconvience and everything.

Copying SWCCG text

 * Please don't copy the text of SWCCG cards verbatim to this site; that infringes upon Decipher's copyright, and thus can't be used here. Please paraphrase them. jSarek 03:49, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Sorry, you *have* been modifying them to some extent. Still, please be careful; adding a sentence from another source doesn't negate the infringement the existing text has.  jSarek 04:03, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Even if you did get permission from a Decipher employee, I'm not certain that holds up, since Lucasfilm owns the characters. Besides, the style of this wiki and Decipher's style aren't quite the same (we use past tense, for example), so some modification would be needed anyway.  &mdash; Silly Dan  04:05, 9 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * And please write in complete sentences. This is an encyclopedia. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:07, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, please don't just copy the text from the cards vertabrim. Summarise the info in a style consistent with the rest of the encyclopedia. QuentinGeorge 06:20, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * And please don't blank this page. That's a wiki no-no for everyone needs to be able to access your comment history. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:35, 25 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Didn't know it was a no-no, sorry.

As for copying? I'm not, I even made a point of re-wording everything.

For the love of god
Can you please follow these simple rules? Ok, I'm done bitching. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:07, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * 1) Categories on all articles. Even those you're not sure on, at least place in Category:Star Wars Universe.
 * 2) *For articles you're not sure on, place the category tag. --SparqMan 07:11, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * 3) **That works too. -- Riffsyphon1024 07:16, 10 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * 4) No need to link to Star Wars alone in your appearances and sources, please combine all words together like so: Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope
 * 5) Links to other pages do not need entire URL address when they're on this wiki. A simple link under the article name shall do.
 * 6) Please bold the article subject.

Sorry, was just trying to help out.


 * Really, please stop. Ah, yes, and why are you using both this account as well as your anonymous one (71.250.36.124) when creating these things? --Imp 22:55, 11 Dec 2005 (UTC)

When did I use the 71.250 one? I wasn't aware of that, I must have been logged ou, sorry.

And, you don't want me to make any new updates at all? Just because I didn't bold and italicized? Pretty elitist if you ask me.
 * Once again, I must ask you to categorize your articles. You've been here for a while now, so please do it. -- SFH 03:08, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't always know what the catagories are for people, so I'd rather let you guys do it, than not do it and get yelled at by Imperiallus. CBenoit 03:09, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * When I'm not sure what cat to give an article, I'll often put "needs cat" in the edit summary so those who know the cat system best can see it and fix it quickly. jSarek 04:45, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

Past tense
Please use past tense in in-universe articles. --Imp 01:36, 21 Dec 2005 (UTC)
 * Where haven't I? --CBenoit
 * Parmic system and White Current for example. --Imp 01:40, 21 Dec 2005 (UTC)

ISB category
I removed your addition of Category:ISB agents, because it's already covered by Category:Imperial Security Bureau personnel. --SparqMan 02:41, 21 Dec 2005 (UTC)

Sign
Please sign your posts with --~, rather than just typing your user name or attempting to link to it like CBenoit that. Thanks. --SparqMan 00:38, 21 January 2006 (UTC) So just typing CBenoit 01:06, 21 January 2006 (UTC) will link it to me? ..... let's try it: CBenoit 01:06, 21 January 2006 (UTC)CBenoit

VFDs
Contuing to remove VFDs from pages is a surefire way to get yourself banned. Kuralyov 06:54, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I have only deleted it once, on the Virtual Cards page and that was because I was completly redoing the article. CBenoit 06:58, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Then redo the article and say so on the VFD page. Kuralyov 07:05, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

Virtual cards, etc.
I didn't remove the list of virtual cards from the CCG article because I don't think they should be there. I have disagreed with you on a couple of VFD pages on the need for so many articles on what is, despite its scope, only a fan project which is semi-official at most as far as Lucasfilm and Lucas Licensing are concerned, but that's not the reason for my edits. Bear in mind I still think that the Players Committee, and its work extending and keeping alive the CCG is a notable and laudable fan project, and probably deserves at lest one article. (I'd like to see any statements online where Decipher recognizes them as the official ruling organization for tournaments and the like, though. I couldn't see them last time I checked their site.)

The issue was that there were two lists of virtual sets. Even if the VFDs and related discussions go your way, and articles are created on each virtual set, only one list is needed in that article. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:38, 7 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Decipher PERSONALLY set-up the PC (players committee) to take over SW:CCG once they lost the license. They even flew some of the members of the PC's team (like Scott Lingrell, etc.) to Decipher's headquarters so they could have a meeting. Check out the Players Committee website, its all right there. E-mail Mike Carr about it, and he will give you all the info you need to see how "professional" it is. CBenoit 13:40, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Nye
Where did you get the information on Nye? I don't remember him in TZ. If you don't mind a Page # would help. Commando1138 03:18, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Never mind. But he is not an ARC, so i'm changing that. Commando1138 17:59, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Innacurate information
I've noticed that you have been contributing innacurate information to this Wiki, particularily articles such as Nye and Fi II. Please work on keeping your articles canonically correct. Thank you. Commando1138 02:39, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I thought they were ARCs, and I was doing the updates at school, so I didn't have RC:TZ on hand. I'm sorry they were just clone commando's. Chill out. CBenoit 05:25, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Dude, theres no need to edit my talk page just to spell check yourself. CBenoit 06:44, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, man:). Won't happen again. Commando1138 15:37, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

VFDs for fan-produced CCG expansions
We know what this Players Committee project is (you only had to explain it to me twice.) The information we found just didn't convince us it was worth writing the number of Wookieepedia articles you appeared to want. If you have any concerns now that the VFDs are over, I guess you'll have to take it up with one of the admins (probably Sikon, the one who closed the VFD) or start a thread at the Senate Hall We may want to continue the discussion anyway -- there are a couple of PC related articles which I still think could be merged. (Card sleeves are one example: we have articles on computer games and the Star Wars Roleplaying Games, but not on, say, joysticks or dice.)

Please don't let this discourage you from continuing to improve the Players Committee article and related articles which the community has decided are worth keeping (like Mike Carr), or the other articles where the Decipher cards can be used as sources which you've worked on in the past. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:04, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm still offended that you refer to it as "fan produced". CBenoit 12:29, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't mean it as an insult, I only mean that the new cards aren't officially licensed by Lucasfilm, even if Decipher has turned the responsibility for rule interpretation and tournament adminstration over to the Players Committee. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:41, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Lucas's overseeing company also approved the PC. And esides rules, tournament administration, they also handle introucing new cards, errata (slightly different than rules), promotion of the game, etc. CBenoit 20:01, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

SWCCG
No, I have never played the SWCCG. Were there any problems with the way I categorized them? Adamwankenobi 05:27, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * No, I was just wondering. Its always nice to find players who did/do play the game. Just find it odd however that you bothered to edit them, if you don't play. CBenoit 05:31, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * BTW, I saw your note on my work area subpage. As you can see there, I'm actually planning to use yourTimeline of books and List of books to create seperate lists for adult novels, young adult novels, comics, video games, etc. Adamwankenobi 05:34, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Go for it. If you need any help. Let me know. CBenoit 12:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Just out of curiosity...which cards contain information about Kathol, as I can't for the life of me remember any of the cards being about the Kathol Sector at all. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 05:56, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't have the cards on hand (can check for you tommorrow), but I remember adding Kathol to the border article due to SW:CCG, I think either the Bothan Spies mention it, or a random DS-II (expansion) Bothan related interrupt/effect might mention it in lore. I'm about 98% sure, so tommorrow I should be able to check. If nothing does mention it, I'm sorry for the mistake. CBenoit 06:01, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Hmm...well it certainly doesn't seem to be on the Bothan Spy card, the Bothawui card, or the Bothawui Operative card and those are the only ones I know of that are related to Bothans. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 06:28, 6 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Yea, locations have no lore, and the others there are characters. I think it might be an interrupt or an effect. I'll check tommorrow, and like I said, if I'm wrong, sorry for the mistake. 06:31, 6 May 2006 (UTC)

Kathol on the Bothan Border
CBenoit, you say on the Bothan Border page that Kathol is identified as being in that area in the CCG. Do you have the direct quote for this, because as it stands, it seems hard to square this with the map. Kathol Sector is on the remote fringe of the Outer Rim, at the end of the Rimma Trade Route, whereas Bothan Space lies in the Inner Rim, between the Corellian Run and Hutt Space. Thank! --McEwok 14:02, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
