New WookieeProject focus
The new WP:KOTOR Focus will be Taris, which is currently undergoing a somewhat excruciating FAN process. Let's pool our resources and talents together to get this essential planet article up to snuff.-- Goodwood  ( Alliance Intelligence ) 23:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:

 * I would go with what Chee said. Until Force Unleashed comes out, there's not a for-sure way of knowing, but it seems sketchy at best given the Rule of Two. It's possible the magazine is using the same false information. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 21:30, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Correction: Phobos is confirmed to be in duel mode. No other info available, but they're canon. (of sorts). Also, the whole Graestan/Greyman thing was part of our elaborate April Fools' tomfoolery. They're not socks, nor are they banned. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 03:25, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't really follow comics, but that's certainly interesting information. Thanks for the link. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 19:22, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Revan's quote
Hey, I would actually check Revan's article history and try to approach the users who were having a problem with it. Attempt to reach them via their talk page(s), before adding it in the article if possible. Cheers, Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 19:09, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Re:Request

 * I can protect your page, but you haven't been targeted by vandals all that much and you won't be able to edit it without being logged in if I do so, so if there is another round of login errors, you won't be able to update it. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 03:50, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * There are a number of Wikia-wide issues at the moment, and I'm not exactly sure. If you could post a screenshot, I'll pass it along to the appropriate people. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 23:40, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * For future reference, on a Windows PC, pressing Ctrl+PrtScrn, opening a program such as Word or Powerpoint and then pressing Ctrl+V to paste will give you a screenshot. The upload file button on the lefthand side of your Wikia toolbox below the search button on the Monobook skin lets you upload files. And yes, that's interesting indeed in FU. Thanks for the update. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 05:15, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've discussed your error with some Wikia folks and they're not quite sure. It may take awhile to figure out the problem, given that you're the only one experiencing it. I'll ask around, but no guarantees. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 05:54, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It might help if we knew your browser and OS, as well as the frequency of the error. Thanks. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 00:36, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Kasra, your "OS" is your computer's operating system-Windows XP, Vista, Mac OS X, etc. Your browser is the program you use to surf the Internet-Internet Explorer, Firefox, etc. I'm assuming you knew that already. These sort of errors are often contingent on those factors. Here are some other questions that the technical team wanted to know.
 * What (if not all) pages on Wikipedia are you having this problem on?
 * Does this only occur when you're logged in, or when you're not logged in also?
 * Are you using a proxy service to connect to the Internet?
 * What skin are you using on Wikia? (Default for Wookieepedia is Monaco; many users also use Monobook. You can find out by checking "My preferences".)
 * Does this happen on other Wikia wikis? (Darthipedia, Uncyclopedia, SWFanon, etc.)


 * The information you provide will help the technical team trace your error. If you have concerns over privacy, simply e-mail me with the information. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 20:33, 16 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay in answering. I've forwarded your issue to the tech team; they should be looking into it. For the categorization, try using a piped link. Or you can use DEFAULTSORT to get what you need. (see, say, Wes Janson or Jaina Solo for example) Kasra, a lot of your questions can be answered by looking at the source code of other articles, so you might try doing that. I'm happy to answer them, but it might be more beneficial for you to "use the source" (code). Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 19:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

Word of advice
Next time you're going to archive a portion of an article's talk page, make sure you explain that in the edit summary before you just remove it all. When it comes to random removal of enormous amounts of text, I have an itchy revert finger. Use the edit summary. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:39, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

Tech team

 * I talked to sannse, one of the Wikia technical staff, and she suggested that you try either upgrading/reinstalling your browser, or using another one, such as Mozilla Firefox. You should then clear your cache and Wikia cookies. The fact that this problem is specific to you suggests that it's an issue with your connection/browser. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 21:30, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, that's correct. In Internet Explorer 7, go to "Tools", select "Internet Options", and then clear your browsing history. That will clear all the Wikia cookies. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 19:20, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Malak
Hey Kasra,

I intend on looking it over tomorrow, and if anything else is required, I'll let you know. Thanks for the response! —Tommy9281 ( Lússë i Morë Hwesta súya! ) 01:33, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey Kasra,

The quote actually I think is fine. I plan on going over the article again this weekend, but someone unstruck my objections, after I deemed them satisfactory. That's gonna take me a little longer to re-review, but nonetheless, I'll do it. I know what it's like to feel as though someone is sleeping on my nom, & I know it seems that I've been that way to you. Rest assured I haven't been, & that Malak is still on my priority list. But to answer your question, sure, that quote is fine by me. Later! —Tommy ( Clean face and hands ) 22:53, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

RE:Star Forge Duel images
Thanks! I use the PC version of the game. Besides blurring some of them a bit to make the pixels smoother, I don't really do anything special to them. I just pause the game every second and take screenshots from various angles. Drewton  17:46, 4 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I just use the Print Screen button on Windows. I think you can take Xbox screenshots if you connect it to a computer and use print screen or a screen capturing software, but I'm not sure.  Drewton  [[Image:SWTFU_WP1_1280x1024.jpg|25px]] 21:41, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

RE:Caedus
Of course not. There are never any hard feelings where I'm concerned, like you said we both were just doing what we thought was right and thats how it should always be, good hunting. - KAJ – Talk 17:01, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

I would as a matter of fact. What is involved, and how does one go about joining? - KAJ – Talk 17:13, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Darth Malak's GAN
Kasra, I'm sorry to say it, but it might just be better for you to give up on Darth Malak's GAN. The article just is not up to standards at the moment; a GA is not meant to be a poor man's FA, but for good articles that just aren't long enough to get on the main page. It is strongly recommended that you request the nom be removed, and then to devote your full attention to the article itself, following the Manual of Style and the FA tutorials put up by the Inquisitorius. Respectully, Goodwood   ( Alliance Intelligence ) 02:53, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Let me give you a few pointers insofar as how to make an article better. First off, when it comes to sourcing, it's not just about having a citation at the end of each paragraph, but adding them to all statements or groups of statements that come from any given source. For example, if you wanted to source Malak's ability to Force Jump, you would put a notation in for the original KotOR game, because that's where he displays it. If, however, you're sourcing entire paragraphs of his biography that only come from KotOR I, then it is okay to use only one cite per paragraph (at the end). The difficult part comes when sourcing across multiple media; for example, issues of comic books. You must give an appropriate citation for every bit of information that comes out of any given comic that pertains to Alek, a.k.a. Malak, that you put into the article.
 * The second issue is completeness. For character articles, this can be both easy and very complex, depending on how many and how varied the sources and appearances are (Boba Fett is a prime example of how sticky things can get). With Malak, things are fairly straightforward due to the linear nature of how he's being portrayed in the comics; once you get through them it's just the video game and that's been combed over a good bit already. The biography is a balancing act between completeness and play-by-play: you don't want to go saying "Malak did a Force-push, then performed a somersault, then he sprouted wings and flew away", for example (okay, the example is rather silly, but you get the idea). For sections like Personality and Traits, Powers and Abilities, and even Equipment, it is, again, an issue of linear progression, providing citations for unique pieces of information and staying faithful to the text.
 * Thirdly, take a good, hard look at other character FAs, particularly multi-source ones and Force-using characters in particular. Use their example as a general guideline, see where they've been sourced to reflect unique bits of information being introduced, how they lay out personality sections, and, with Force-users, the powers and abilities sections..
 * Hope this helps.-- Goodwood [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 12:28, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

Don't take what happened in IRC personally, mate. They muted the channel probably as a joke, and yes I agree it was childish, but don't let that put you off. Come in again in a bit and we can try this again.-- Goodwood  ( Alliance Intelligence ) 21:01, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Removing unsuccessful noms
Hey, I've reverted your removal of the Malak nom on the GAN page. Whenever a nomination is removed either because it passed or failed, it needs to be properly archived for record-keeping purposes. It's best to let someone else it properly. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:30, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thank you for such a warm welcome to the project. To tell you the truth I was hesitant to put my name down because I wasn't sure if there was some sort of applicant process or something. I'm happy to help improve articles as much as it is in my power. NaruHina ''' Talk 02:02, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello!
Hey nice to meet you! I'm glad to meet another Christian :) I'd be happy to tell you about my faith, and would be interested in yours too! "Reformed" is a branch of Protestant Christianity that I belong to. We believe strongly in Calvinism, the teachings of a guy named Calvin. (He lived a long time ago, he's dead now. He was called a "reformer", therefore the name "Reformed Christians. hehe) Short, very summarized and concise version of what we believe: God is sovereign and we are totally sinful - we are saved by his grace alone, not our own works. We believe in the Heidelberg Catechism, and I don't know if you've ever heard the acronym TULIP, (Total depravity, Unconditional election, Limited atonement, Irresistible grace, Perseverance of the saints) - but it's a good summary of what we believe, and if you ever want me to go into more detail I could for you. Anyway, I'd be very excited to hear about your beliefs! Have a nice day --  Aqua  Unasi  21:43, 27 May 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize how some Christians worship on Saturday and observe other Hebrew traditions like that, thats pretty sweet - weird how most churches changed from that, even though thats what the Bible says... hmpmh. I went to that site and read it a bit (didn't watch any sermons yet though, exams are coming up. I'm supposed to be studying for them... lol) but anyway, I agree with about all of it. I think sometimes I need roadmap with all the different denominations and views and such showing all the differences, there's so many and they all seem to make sense sometimes, its hard to sort out what the Bible tells us and what God wants us to know. Okay, anyway, I'm done with my bit of rambling now. I'm going to go attempt to study again. Its been nice talking to you --  Aqua  Unasi  01:18, 28 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks for the invite to the KotOR projects, but I think I'm gonna have to decline. I'm not the writer kinda person, I just don't have that wonderful talent yet. (AP English next year... maybe that'll help. hehe) Anyway, I do love KotOR and will try to help when I can, but not enough to join the project. :)  Aqua  Unasi  02:30, 29 May 2008 (UTC)

Re:Userbox

 * You could, though I personally don't feel it's worth a template. I tend to be a minimalist on those sorts of things. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 04:06, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

NICE user page
very nice.--Izquierdista 03:26, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Darth Malak on SW Fanon
I've started an article for Darth Malak on Star Wars Fanon which will be an extended version of the Wookieepedia one, showing his turn to the dark side and many other fanon things while still following established canon (at least, until his turn is shown in the comics). I have a few pictures of some mods I made for Malak in the discussion page, which will soon be used in the article. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 16:59, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

Lucien Draay on the Jedi High Council
Yo Kasra, Master Shannara here. Been trying to modify the template about the Jedi Council During the Mandalorian Wars so that it showed Lucien Draay as a member but it never works. Know how?--Master Shannara 13:35, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:Template

 * You'd be better off asking someone a little more versed in editing templates than I am. Those kinds of things tend not to be straightforward. Try Xwing328. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 13:30, 6 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I added him. Before he had only been added to the 'source' which is shown on the page.  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:08, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:Legacy Project
Of course. Feel free. Just remember to sign the bottom of the page to say that you're helping out. Darthchristian 04:04, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I dont think its ready to get rid of that tag yet. It stills needs expansion on many of the newer topics, and needs a copyedit very badly, though I do believe that you did an excellent job of sourcing the article. =D Darthchristian 04:47, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

By the way....

 * Can you do me a big favor Jedi Kasra? Can you help me get started on those lists of articles that are blank on the Legacy project page? I finished the events section, but there's still some works to get done. Feel free to complete any section you like - I just need these lists completed soon so we can get started on the project itself. Thanks, and cheers. Darthchristian 03:01, 9 June 2008 (UTC)

Re: Discussion Forum

 * Great question asked Kasra. ;D However, I generally avoid discussion forums, because though some people ask great questions, it often turns into a big arguement about something pointless. I usually do keep a close eye on them, because sometimes they do post some valuable information. BTW, check the discussion forum tomorrow. I'm planning to have some goals for the project posted there by the earliest, tonight. Darthchristian 01:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm planning to do that once I can start everything up and get it going. Before we can have a main focus, we need users to join it first. I'm trying as hard as I can right now to advertise the project so it can be successful. As of right now, the only people involved with this project is us and Graestan. Having a monthly focus requires a lot of dedication, as it is usually a hard, long article to work on. As I said, I plan on starting a main focus next week or the week after that. Darthchristian 01:45, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and no. Vergere was only mentioned during LOTF. Though some information came out about her, she was NJO and the Old Republic. Also, don't forget to advertise the project to more users as well. Cheers. Darthchristian 01:40, 11 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I am very sorry to hear that. You don't have to go way out of your way to help out though. Cheers. Darthchristian 19:40, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Indirect mention of Revan
Here is where I feel the indirect mention of Revan is in Revelation:

Page 32, Jaina talking to Han: "Bring him in," she said. "Bring him in. Then what? Deprogram him? Lock him in the attic like you're supposed to do with crazy relatives? Rehabilitate him and take him back into the Jedi Order? What happens to ex-Sith Lords?"

This is what happened to Revan. He was deprogrammed and rehabilitated. If you feel it is too sketchy, I will happily delete it. I don't want to put things in that are too tenuous to actually be used. :-)--Darth Mondrak 19:32, 12 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I have deleted that, as you say, it is a bit sketchy. No problems.--Darth Mondrak 19:44, 12 June 2008

jedi exile
That is exactly the angle im going for. Thank you for being intelligent enough to understand that a Sith Jedi exile would still be a heroine, from a certain point of view. Not to metion that i plan for her to mediate a truce between the sith and jedi, alowing both factions to rebuild enough to leed up to the Paths of Destruction novel. so in a sense, she will both save and destroy the sith, as well as save and destroy the jedi and their republic.HK-47 rebuilt 17:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

yes i do plan to make her the unknown darth, as well as wake the sith force-users go into hiding. The truce i spoke of was a temporary one between the sith empire and the jedi/ republic. i thought id have her accend the throne to the sith empire, and proclaim herself as the last sith, meanwhile the sith force-users are secretly rebuilding on a secret planet called kane, which had been discovered by sion. its supposed to be a planet shrowded by the dark side, so that only someone with strong ties to it find it. oh and atton and the exile will have a son which they send into hiding from the republic/ jedi. and im sorry, the whole sighning my posts thing is kind of new.HK-47 rebuilt 17:42, 14 June 2008 (UTC)

New Main Focus
Hey, for our first Main Focus, we're going to work on Darth Maladi. See the forum for more details about the main focus. Darthchristian 02:50, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Invincible
Hi, can I ask you a favour? I am reading Invincible at the moment so I don't want to go on the page. However, there is an error on page 4. I don't know if it has been picked up, but Jaina is spelt Jana. Would you be able to put it in the relevant section for me please? Thanks very much. Darth Mondrak 17:53, 16 June 2008 (UTC)

Re:Cade Skywalker
Hi, Kasra. I apologize for the delayed response. I was moving across the U.S. and then had to tend to a family matter. I unfortunately know absolutely nothing about Cade, but I gave the article a look and have a few thoughts. First off, the intro needs to be much longer and cover more information contained in the article. The intro may have fallen casualty to oversight as the gradual expansion of the article occured. The first section (Early Days) should be one paragraph and be restructured. I think there is possibly a way to expand this section; maybe not, however. Next, the pictures need to be respaced and placed in their corresponding sections or in the BtS, etc. Section 1.5 (Reunion at Vendaxa) has quotes in the middle of the section. My understanding is that this is not allowed. In-line quotes are one thing, but these do not seem to qualify. Perhaps breaking this section up into subsections such as 1.5.1, 1.5.2, etc. The article also needs a quote for sections 1.9 and 1.10, if possible. I would imagine there is something quotable here, though this would not be required to restore GA status. The second section (Personality) should actually be titled "Personality and traits." This section is very lacking and I can tell from browsing the article that much more information exists that can be included here. After that, I am not a good judge of content or accuracy. Perhaps others do. IRC might the best place to find those people. Good luck, sir!  Master Aban Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 22:07, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, Jedi Kasra, were going to put Cade as our next main focus on WookieeProject Legacy Era anyway. I'm waiting for the trade paperback for Claws of the Dragon to come out before we do that, so for now, were working on Darth Maladi, as you're well aware. Thanks for making Cade a lot easier when we get to it though. =D Oh, and I forgot to ask you something: you do have the rest of Maladi's appearances from Claws of the Dragon onward, right? Because I'm having a hard time finding someone to write that section onward, and I'm focusing on her appearances up until Claws of the Dragon. Thanks again. Darthchristian 02:18, 21 June 2008 (UTC)

Darth Malak GA
Hi, Kasra. Do you know when you're planning to nominate Darth Malak for GA status again? I've almost finished expanding it. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:11, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Favor
Hey, Jedi Kasra, can you do me a favor? Can you lead the Legacy project, as well as our main focus, Darth Maladi for a bit? I'm planning on working on Project Wormhead full force (The LOTF and Legacy section, obviously), and I can only write so much on Maladi. Contact me on my talk page if you have any problems, or to accept the temporary leadership. Thanks so much. Darthchristian 18:02, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much. I'll still be around the project, doing an individual project once in a while. I'm just focusing on Wormie for a while. I'll probably be back to lead the project once again sometime in July or August. Darthchristian 20:48, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
