Removing content
Please do not remove content from Wookieepedia. It is considered vandalism. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. Thank you. Trip391 (talk) 09:09, June 16, 2014 (UTC)

Please do not continue to copy-paste Legends articles into canon articles. One must rewrite the article completely, with the correct links and removal of Legends info, in order to create canon articles. Thank you. Cade   Calrayn  12:45, June 16, 2014 (UTC)

Canon articles
Hello, please be aware that you cannot simply copy and paste Legends into a new canon page. You must clean up the article by removing Legends sources, references, and make sure that the Legends links are turned into canonical ones. To do this, here's an example:. I hope this helps,  JangFett  (Talk) 13:04, June 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Do not remove red links.  JangFett  (Talk) 13:06, June 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * Again, to edit a canon article we do not copy and paste from Legends. Many times the information can be different, or even outright wrong when copied from Legends. Trip391 (talk) 09:11, June 28, 2014 (UTC)

Canon vs Legends
Hey Nivlacanator. Please take note of the icons at the top of every in-universe page that say "Canon" or "Legends." If a page is marked "Legends," please don't add newly released canon sources, such as Star Wars: Commander, to the page. New canon sources like Commander are canon-only and do not apply to Legends. The only canon stories that can be used in Legends are Episodes I-VI and The Clone Wars.

I also noticed you were adding appearances for Episodes VIII and IX, as well as unconfirmed appearances for Episode VII. Please note that rumors or speculation shouldn't be added to those pages.

Let me know if you have any questions. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 05:59, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

Capitalization of "/Canon"
Please take care when creating new articles with the suffix "/Canon", ensuring that the "C" is capitalized. Several of your recent article creations have had to be moved to the correct capitalization. Thank you for your cooperation. - Sir Cavalier of One ( Squadron channel ) 08:30, July 17, 2014 (UTC)

Canon articles
While I appreciate your enthusiasm, please stop creating articles until you have read our Layout Guide and Manual of Style. Your articles are rife with a number of errors, the most prolific of which I'll point out here:
 * 1) You're not adding any categories
 * 2) Article names should only be bolded once, and two dashes makes an italic, not three.
 * 3) Please remember to put the second set of  at the end of italicized words, such as Heir to the Jedi'', so that you stop italicizing the rest of the line.
 * 4) Every article must have the Eras template, and canon articles that are not at /Canon names must have
 * 5) Articles should only be at "/Canon" if there is already an article at the proper title. There's no reason Desert Jewel should be at Desert Jewel/Canon.
 * 6) There should only be only blank line before the Appearances header, and it's spelled Appearances, not Appearences.
 * 7) Articles that are first mentioned in a source should use 1stm, not Mo. Cade  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg  Calrayn  12:23, July 17, 2014 (UTC)


 * Please head the above advice and warnings. If you don't, you may face administrative reprisal for failing to follow our policies. Thanks. Cade  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg  Calrayn  12:38, July 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * I understand English is not your first language, but please try to follow the above advice. If you're cutting and pasting, then please add the canonical categories too. Also you keep writing '/canon', not '/Canon'. --Alientraveller (talk) 13:08, July 18, 2014 (UTC)
 * Basically, the best way to start is by reading and following the advice I just gave you. Specifically, in all of those additions you made a few hours ago to the Appearances sections of articles (adding the novels), you left off the end of the italics (the second '' ) after the end of the link. That italicizes the entire line instead of the link. If you have any other questions, let me know. Cade  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg  Calrayn  13:19, July 18, 2014 (UTC)

Darth Maul/Canon
Hey. I reverted your edit to Darth Maul/Canon again. When a subject appears in all issues of a comic series, like Son of Dathomir, we only list the series instead of all the issues. It should stay the way it is on the page now. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 14:06, July 23, 2014 (UTC)

Images
Please read the image policy before uploading any more files to Wookiepedia. There are certain rules that must be followed in order for images to be legally hosted here. Thanks.-- 14:07, July 25, 2014 (UTC)

Unverified info
Thank you for contributing to Wookieepedia! Please note that at least one of your recent additions added unverified information to a mainspace article. Additions to Wookieepedia's articles must be verifiable by a reliable source per our sourcing policy, and unverified information may be reverted or deleted. Continuing to add unverified information may lead to you being blocked from editing by an administrator. Thank you. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 14:27, July 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Unless you have proof that the Imperial Navy, stormtroopers, etc. will be appearing in the new Marvel Star Wars comic, do not add the comic to those articles' lists of appearances. If you continue to do so without providing proof, you will be blocked from editing. Thank you for your cooperation. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 14:57, July 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Very well. In that case, when adding the comic to an article's appearance list, you should clarify in the edit summary that you identified the article's subject in the comic's preview pages. Doing so will avoid future misunderstandings. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 15:31, July 27, 2014 (UTC)

Canon article creation/expansion
Canon articles are not to be made by copy and pasting content from Legends articles, but simply removing Legends details, links, and sources (or in your case just changing the links). They must be written from scratch. While some information may be shared between Canon and Legends, copying from Legends is not always accurate, is poor editing practice (plagiarism is never allowed), and is not to be done. Trip391 (talk) 23:34, August 10, 2014 (UTC)

Star Wars Journeys
I've noticed you've been adding Journeys appearances to some pages, which is great, sinc it seems you have the app. I've noticed that in the case Xexto/Canon, the species doesn't appear on the Journeys page. I think it'd be best to update that page with information like that when necessary, unless you or whoever was writing that didn't think that the Xexto name was canon anymore (Which is understandable). In that case, is the Xexto(s) in Journeys Gasgano? Or is it just some random background Xexto? Unfortunatly I don't have the App, or an iPhone 5 to buy it with (Unless it's compatible with Apple computers too? I don't know much about Apple products in general). Thanks in advance if you got any more info on that. :) --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 21:23, August 11, 2014 (UTC)

Holonet News
Are you aware that each time you add a Holonet News appearance, the link goes to a dead page on the Holonet News tumblr page, rather than the Wookieepedia article for each video? Doctor Kermit ( Complain. ) 20:01, August 12, 2014 (UTC)

Art Attack
Hey. Art Attack, as well as The Machine in the Ghost, is described as a "prequel short," so it takes place before Star Wars Rebels. It should therefore be placed before the show in Appearance sections. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 05:09, August 19, 2014 (UTC) Hello, Nivla. Please also note that since, according to what we're being told, these shorts are not episode fragments, we're using the SW.com template, not the Rebels episode template, to denote these shorts in Appearances lists. The Rebels episode template should be reserved for episodes only. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:14, August 19, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks! There's a bit of uncertainty in that a few books have labeled them as being taken from episodes, but the videos are specifically labeled as prequel shorts. So, until such time as we learn that they're from an episode, it's best to treat them as such. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 05:50, August 19, 2014 (UTC)

Beru Lars
Hi Nivlacanator. I disagree of your renaming of Beru Lars to Beru Whitesun Lars/Canon. Star Wars in 100 Scenes identifies her as Beru Whitesun during the Episode II section and Beru Lars during the Episode IV section, but I don't recall anything identifying her as Beru Whitesun Lars. Just because Whitesun was mentioned as her maiden name doesn't mean it's part of her full, final name. I could be mistaken, though, so can you point me to where it identified her as Beru Whitesun Lars? - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:04, September 13, 2014 (UTC)

Image uploads
Hey Nivlacanator. Friendly reminder to please source and license your images, using the Information template, when you upload them. The two images you recently uploaded had licensing templates, but they did not use the Information template and did not include a source. This is a requirement of the image policy, which the administrators of Wookieepedia take very seriously. Your upload images could be deleted, and you could be banned, if your images are not sourced and licensed properly. If you have any questions about how to do that, feel free to let me know. I'd be happy to help. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 05:31, September 26, 2014 (UTC)

Templates and references
Nivlacanator, please use instead of , and also please make sure that you actually add the references when changing information like you  did here. You've caused a broken ref note. Cade   Calrayn  04:46, October 15, 2014 (UTC)

Kallus and Fighter Flight
Hey. I saw you added "Fighter Flight" to Kallus as an indirect mention. I don't recall that. Can you remind me what the indirect message was? I'm redoing that entire page and want to make sure the information is accurate. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:46, October 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * Never mind, found it. Thanks anyway! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:19, October 25, 2014 (UTC)

Categories
Hi Nivlacanator. Please don't add to pages you create. As the creator of a page, it's your responsibility to add categories to it. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 03:48, October 26, 2014 (UTC)

Images
In regards to your recent upload for Mission to Bardotta, you forgot to crop the image after taking it from SW.com. In the future, please remember to do so. Thanks, 501st  dogma ( talk ) 02:35, November 10, 2014 (UTC)

Sentinel Base
Oh no, Sentinel Base is the Death Star. Not everything is always spelled out for us directly, but there are enough clues in the book to make it obvious. If you'll note, I'm not the one who originally added information to certain pages regarding the two being one and the same. ProfessorTofty (talk) 09:32, November 10, 2014 (UTC)
 * In your defense, it's a little hard to follow. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 05:57, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

After reading the sampler in July I had decided Sentinel was the Death Star and edited the page accordingly. But after reading the ending of the book I had decided it wasn't. Now I feel kinda silly....loolNivlacanator (talk) 22:06, November 14, 2014 (UTC)
 * Heh, it's alright. Like Brandon said, it is a bit confusing. You do sort of have to read between the lines. ProfessorTofty (talk) 10:27, November 15, 2014 (UTC)

Image
Hello. We're going to need you to please correct the sourcing of this image that you recently uploaded. You most definitely did not take that from the TCW episode "Hunt for Ziro." It looks like it came from StarWars.com. If you cannot provide a proper source for the image, it will be deleted according to our Image policy. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 20:31, November 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Simply adding "StarWars.com" to the image's source field is not good enough, and the fact that you did that just tells me that you have no idea where the image actually came from. You will need to use one of our citation templates to source it to an individual SW.com page from the Databank or Encyclopedia, assuming that's even where it comes from. I'm going to give you until the end of today to properly source the image before it is deleted. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:12, November 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * This message is to inform you that the Sy Snootles image that you uploaded has been deleted for lack of a proper source. I will also take this opportunity to you issue you yet another formal warning regarding Wookieepedia's image policy. All uploaded images must be attributed with a proper source to cite where the image came from. Falsifying image sourcing is pretty much a zero-tolerance offense here on Wookieepedia, which has already been explained to you once before. In this case, it became evidently clear that you had no idea where the image actually came from, and whether you deliberately added a false source or just guessed and hoped it would stick, at the end of the day it amounts to the same thing. Considering this is far from your first talk page message regarding the proper procedure for uploading and sourcing images, be aware that your next offense will more than likely result in a block from editing. I strongly suggest you pay attention to this from now on. If you don't know where an image comes from and cannot provide a source, don't upload it. Ask around first to see if someone can tell you where it comes from. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 16:31, November 18, 2014 (UTC)

Heir to the Jedi
Hey. Can you point me to a source for what you said in this edit summary? I haven't seen that. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 04:44, February 4, 2015 (UTC)
 * I just looked at the excerpt. While it does mention Tosche Station, it doesn't put a time frame on it. Can you look at the excerpt again and point me to where exactly it gives a time frame? Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 16:14, February 4, 2015 (UTC)

Images of Leia Organa
Am I correct in thinking that your intention is to create a distinct category for images of Leia that are strictly canon? Because I've just been placing canon images myself within the old categories that also include the Legends images, i.e. Category:Images of Leia Organa Solo. ProfessorTofty (talk) 08:37, February 14, 2015 (UTC)

Leia Organa
Sorry, I wasn't paying attention and I made a small edit on the Leia Organa article to update the linking on an appearance. So, yeah. I don't think it'll really affect any edits you wanted to make on the article, but I thought you should know anyway. ProfessorTofty (talk) 05:26, February 15, 2015 (UTC)

Images
Nivlacanator, please use Special:Upload. It's really that simple. Also, please stop uploading files with capitalized extensions (PNG). Cade   Calrayn  05:04, February 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm just going to keep deleting the images until you use Special:Upload. Consider this an official administrative warning on the subject. Cade  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg  Calrayn  05:20, February 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * Why do you think I keep posting the Special:Upload link? That's how you upload images. Not the "Add image" button in the Oasis skin. Cade  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg  Calrayn  05:31, February 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * That's the correct form, yes, but the point is to fill out the information before uploading the file. It's policy, and also, your images are unnecessarily small and low-quality; if you're cropping or resizing them in any way, please don't. Cade  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg  Calrayn  05:40, February 23, 2015 (UTC)

B-series battle droid
Hi Nivlacanator. I saw you added "B-series battle droid" to the appearances section of the first Kanan comic, so I was just wondering where exactly this term was confirmed in canon. Thanks! Cevan (talk) 22:48, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

Royal House of Naboo/Canon
Hey. Can you check to see if "Royal House of Naboo" is mentioned in either of the Journeys games? There's a /Canon redlink for that but I don't see the name used anywhere, but I know that Journeys has a lot of re-canonized names. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:22, March 1, 2015 (UTC)

RE:Why so many categories?
Well then why are all the other categories like that? Sorted by last names I mean. --  GROUCH  Man (  M Y   TRASH   CAN  ) 01:17, March 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * What do you mean it's done in such a way? --  GROUCH  Man (  MY   TRASH   CAN  ) 01:39, March 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * I started using the DEFAULTSORT technique. That's preferred, isn't it? --  GROUCH  Man (  MY   TRASH   CAN  ) 01:47, March 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * I realize that, but I'm NOT trying to do that. I'm trying to make sure that all the articles that should be sorted that way are all sorted that way. I hope you understand. --  GROUCH  Man (  MY   TRASH   CAN  ) 02:07, March 8, 2015 (UTC)
 * GrouchMan is correct. DEFAULTSORT should be used to place the article into the categories in alphabetical order (see here). Trip391 (talk) 02:24, March 8, 2015 (UTC)

Darth Vader
I'm Bad'Wolf. I have been doing a few edits on the Anakin Skywalker/Canon page recently and, given the content of your user page, that you are the one who overturned my edits and returned your old ones which look more like a transcript than a summary. Without forcing you to do anything, wouldn't it be better if such writing went on the page dedicated to the actual comic rather than the character pages. If you are the one concerned, I have once again edited the page to a different style and believe that it is best that way but feel free to correct me if you think I'm wrong. If you are not, then sorry about the inconvenience ^^. --Bad&#39;Wolf (talk) 09:56, March 26, 2015 (UTC)

Princess Leia article
Hi! I just noticed you have canon Princess Leia article checked out and I just wanted to let you know that a couple of days ago I made a small edit to update a redirecting link and didn't notice you had it checked out. Sorry about that. Also, when you have a chance, could you please update the redirecting link A New Hope Illustrated Novel to A New Hope: The Princess, the Scoundrel, and the Farm Boy? Thanks in advance! ProfessorTofty (talk) 02:09, March 27, 2015 (UTC)
