Revanchist (faction)
Hey Kasra. I'm going to give you a preliminary account of the issues I believe you should deal with. I can take a look at the article again after you have fixed them up, in order to polish it up for the GAN page.
 * First item is that I think you need to turn the members section into something that is seen with the Black Vulkars. The Key members would be Revan, Alek, and the Jedi Exile.
 * In the year 3,964 BBY, the Revanchists, who were also known as the Jedi Crusaders,[6] began to come together and scout the looming Mandalorian threat as the Mandalorian and Republic fleets battled ineffectually within the neutral Republic frontier. Revan began to take his followers to investigate the Mandalorian activities on the Outer Rim, without the Jedi High Council's support. - There is redundant information in these two sentences, and they could probably be combined or reworded.
 * When Alek met Zayne Carrick that first time, it really isn't all that pertinent as to what Alek thought of Carrick. What is important is what Carrick's masters thought of the Revanchists worrying about the Mandalorians. That needs to be included.
 * In issue six, the news or something similar, talks about how Jedi have left to fight in the "crusade," and that many of them are already missing in action. You should add this in.
 * In issue eight, one of the Jedi at Flashpoint talks about how they were ambushed at Suurja, and that that planet was the first "outing" for the Crusaders. There is nothing in there about Revan leaving to take a look at Onderon and Dxun.
 * It is in issue nine that we learn that Revan left them to go to Onderon and Dxun. Also it appears that the Revanchists were kidnapped before the battle. Please double check this. There is an important scene between Revan and the High Council in this issue that I feel needs to be detailed a bit more.
 * In issue ten there is more information about Revan having a vision of what the Mandalorians are doing and going to investigate it. He also has some plans for the Crusaders and they will follow him through the tough times. You need to detail some of this a bit more.
 * I don't see them mentioned in issue 14. Please double check this.
 * Issue fifteen talks about the Crusaders scouting around the lines. Also remember that it is probable that the Exile was a scout on Serroco. In KotOR II, Atton Rand mentions she was there. This may be useful to add in somehow.
 * Issue nineteen, Alek talks about how some of them had visions about Adasca's exogorths. Plus there is some more details about the meeting on the Legacy to be found in issue twenty as well. This needs to be detailed a bit more.
 * You need to detail the information from Galactic Republic Defense Ministry Daily Brief KD0092 a bit more.
 * The Council approved his motion ordering the recall, or even detention, of the Revanchists.[14] After Alek, who was going by the alias "Malak" in order to avoid the warrant for his arrest,[15] testified against the Covenant on behalf of the fugitive Jedi Zayne Carrick, he was sent back to Revan and his Jedi with a final warning. - This needs more context. These sentences don't connect to each other very much.
 * I think you need to talk a bit about how the Jedi Council warned them that they would become corrupted and end up like the Mandalorian aggressors.
 * Eventually, in the year 3,961 BBY, Revan found an ancient Star Map on the Wookiee homeworld of Kashyyyk that was left by the Rakata, an ancient civilization that ruled the galaxy approximately 20,000 years earlier. He then discovered a planet called Malachor V - What does this Star Map have to do with Malachor V? These pieces of information need to connect to each other.
 * OK, start with these changes, and I'll look over the article again. I have changed and added some appearances. Make sure that you have all of them. Let me know when you are ready to have me look at the article again. Cylka  -talk- 20:48, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Duel on the Star Forge
OK, Kasra, here is my preliminary review of Duel on the Star Forge.
 * I would add in a small Prelude section before the Final confrontation section. It can give a brief explanation of the search for the Star Forge, Revan arriving on the Star Forge with his companions aboard the Ebon Hawk, meeting the other Jedi, redeeming Bastila, etc. This should really only be a paragraph long. This section is needed to give context for the last sentence of Malak's death.
 * The first paragraph of the Final confrontation section is all one sentence and needs to be broken up. You also need to add in a bit more context for Revan and Malak. Bastila is cut out of here, and added to the Prelude since she is not important to the duel.
 * Revan's arrival was unexpected, - For whom was it unexpected? Malak only, or others as well?
 * After Revan got past the droids, Malak realized that Revan had become much stronger than he ever was as the Dark Lord. Malak was tempted to try and capture his former Master alive, so that he could break him, and make Revan become his own apprentice. However, Revan said that he would never turn to the dark side again - I would explain this a bit in that this was a conversation between them as they were preparing to fight.
 * He then used the Force to drain the life-force from one of eight captive Jedi that he captured from the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine, when he and his forces attacked the planet. Revan destroyed the other stasis pods, letting the other Jedi become one with the Force. - This needs to be explained a lot more. Most readers will have not played the game, so they will not understand all that went on here.
 * I would expand the Aftermath section a bit more in regards to Revan and Bastila's roles and Revan's eventual departure. I would, however, cut out the whole second paragraph dealing with Traya and the Korriban academy since you will need to give a great deal of context to that and that will likely double the article. The events of KotOR are not vital to this duel.
 * You gave the cheat code for the Xbox version of the game, so you also need to give the cheat for the PC version, since it is present there as well. I don't exactly remember the cheat, but I'm sure that you could easily find it. I would cite the cheats to MobyGames or something similar.
 * Please let me know when you have taken care of these and I will go through the article again. It is looking good, Kasra. Cylka  -talk- 12:34, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Calo Nord images
Hey Kasra, I noticed on the FAN that you were looking for some images of Calo Nord. I'll have to play through Taris again to get some more specifically of him but for now I have a rather good one of him flanked by his thugs on Tatooine that should be useful. I'll upload it if you want to use it. Let me know if I can be of any further help. Nayayen talk  22:33, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I thought it was assumed that it was, I know we tend to go by the order that Bastila lists them. This particular image only has Nord and thugs, none of the player's party. As for one of him and Malak, I'll need to play through again to get there which may take me a little while but I'll try. I'll get one of him counting in the cantina and confronting Revan in Davik's estate (without Revan in it of course). Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]] talk  20:09, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I've done the Saul Karath ones. I've uploaded them to Photobucket and made a gallery (with upload info too) on my IE RPG site. I've also put the Calo Nord on Tatooine one up too. I don't think many more Karath images can be squeezed out of the comics. I haven't made any headway with the Calo Nord ones yet though. Feel free to upload them yourself and do say if I can help with Karath. Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]] talk  23:30, 6 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll upload them for you then. I'm not sure how soon they'll last without being put in a page though. Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]] talk  09:11, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And done: File:Karathflee.jpg, File:Karathmeetmandalore.jpg, File:Karathserroco.jpg, File:Karathvindication.jpg and File:Karath apprehends zayne.jpg Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]] talk  09:28, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * And I'm not sure whether it can be used but here is the Calo Nord on Tatooine one nonetheless: Calonordtat.png Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]] talk  09:35, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries. I've gotten as far as the Taris sewers so I've only gotten 5 decent ones of Nord so far. They're all from here onwards. They're ordered: C, D, A, B & E. Just tell me which, if any, you want to use and I'll upload them to here. Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]] talk  20:00, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ta-da: CalonordB.png Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]] talk  20:14, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, glad to be of assistance. I should be able to get the ones of him with Davik and being recruited by Malak sometime soon. I've got to slog through the rest of Taris (at least it isn't Peragus =P). Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]] talk  20:31, 7 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry about not getting back to you sooner. I haven't been able to get onto KotOR recently but I'll try later this week. I'm still only at the Black Vulkar base on playing through so it'll take a while to get screenshots of things like Uthar Wynn and Bandon. I'll let you know when I've gotten more. Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]] talk  13:36, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey Kasra, I just thought I'd let you know that I've gotten KotOR working again on my computer. I should be able to get those images for you at some point soon; the only problem being that I only really have time to go on the computer which has KotOR on at weekends... Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]] talk  10:03, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Malak hires Nord.png I've finally gotten around to getting this last important image for Nord; one of him being recruited by Malak. Sorry it took so long. Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]](talk) 13:06, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Karath
Kasra, I probably will not be able to get to it this week as I am working on other projects for some people right now. Also, my procedure for a "pre-nom review" is to browse the article to make certain there are no glaring errors or major points that need to be fixed. I do not normally do a full copyedit and "pasta bowl" during that. I'll happily review it in a few days as I get the time to look things over, but that does not mean that I will not still have objections if it is nominated. I just want to give you fair warning so you are not expecting something other than what might happen. If you need it to have a full copyedit, that is different. I may be able to get to that sometime late this weekend, possibly after church on Sunday. But, you'll need to let me know on that. Good luck. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 14:24, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Revan Intro Changes
I'm going to edit the Revan intro again at some point. For courtesy's sake (btw, if you had a problem with the intro couldn't you have brought it up in the three days in which it sat on the discussion page?) here's a breakdown of my thoughts regarding your changes:

What I'll Keep
 * 1) "helped defeat the Sith Empire" is more accurate than "saw the Sith Empire defeated". A worthy change. Thanks.
 * 2) "a Jedi strike team led by Shan boarded Revan's flagship and battled its way to the Dark Lord" Is more accurate and informative than what I had down originally. Good job.
 * 3) I got the dashes wrong inbetween "galaxy at large", thanks for fixing that.
 * 4) Republic commander Carth Onasi - Might be better dropping the "Republic" (just for structure's sake) but I wasn't aware/had forgotten he was a commander, so nice job adding it in.
 * 5) "the Jedi Council on Dantooine retrained Revan and charged him with discovering the source of Malak's fleet." I prefer the way you worded this overall. I would put "colossal" back in front of "Malak's fleet" however, though that's more of a stylistic thing.
 * 6) Didn't realise I'd linked Star Maps twice -- thanks for changing that.
 * 7) Linking "killing" to "skirmish aboard the Leviathan" was a good call, I think.
 * 8) Linking "a year later" to 3,955 BBY. I should have done that. Oops.
 * 9) In fact, all the links to specific articles I wasn't aware of were good calls. Thanks.

What I'll keep if you can prove it
 * 1) Malak fired upon Revan from aboard the Leviathan -- where is this stated? The KotOR CG? It's certainly not in the game.  I wasn't aware we knew from which ship Malak launched his assault. You may be right but I'd like to see a source.

What I'll Remove/Change
 * 1) Species/Gender is unnecessary. That's what the infobox is for. It's certainly not a requirement for an FA, see Tycho Celchu or Kol Skywalker for example. All you've done is make the sentence longer for no good reason.
 * 2) "The Republic fleet under his direct control": We're specifically told in KotOR I that Revan had only a third of the (entire) Republic Navy/Fleet under his *direct* control, even though he was in overall command of everything by the end of the war.
 * 3) Echo: "Revan tracked down ancient Rakatan Star Maps in pursuit of the Star Forge, a superweapon of the Rakatan Infinite Empire." The second "Rakatan" is unnecessary. Try saying the above out loud, too. It sounds weird.
 * 4) "Jedi Knight Bastila Shan". Bastila was a Padawan during Revan's reign (and for at least some of Malak's), not a Jedi Knight. "Padawan Shan you are already familiar with" - Zhar I specified Padawan for a reason. It's dumb, sure, but that's what the game says.
 * 5) Echo: "Caught by surprise, Revan was incapacitated by Malak's attack and then captured by the strike team while Malak, believing his Master destroyed, seized control of the Sith Empire." Two "Malaks" in one sentence looks bad, bland and boring. You've made this sentence worse for no good reason. Why? "While his traitorous apprentice" was both accurate and engaging to the reader.
 * 6) "Unable to restore Revan's true persona". You're making assumptions. There are conflicting sources. Some say they were unable, others that they were unwilling (we even have a section on that in the article, don't we?). The intro must take both into account.
 * 7) "the Sith fleet's commander" - why even make this change? Sure, you cut down on one word, but it doesn't look half as nice as "commander of the Sith fleet".
 * 8) "After killing Karath and attempting to escape the Leviathan". Yeah, we know they're on the Leviathan, why the repetition? The original sentence had more punch.
 * 9) "On Rakata Prime, when Shan, whom Malak had broken to his will, attempted to turn Revan back to the dark side, Revan rejected her pleas. As the Republic fleet attacked the Star Forge in the Rakata system, Revan boarded the ancient space station, turned Shan back to the light, and vanquished Malak in a duel, thereby defeating the Sith Empire and bringing the war he had instigated to a close." I appreciate what you were trying to do here, but it looks a bit clunky. I'll keep the additional information you've added but I'm going to pretty it up a bit. ;)
 * 10) "Three hundred years after the Jedi Civil War's end, Revan was believed to have never returned to the galaxy." Looks poor, sorry. You also got the date wrong. The FAQ over at the TOR website (which tells us that "Revan never returned") is speaking of the situation during the "present day" of TOR, which is 3,623 BBY. 3,653 BBY is the year the Treaty of Coruscant was signed. Again, I did do my research. If you think I'm wrong about something (and I can be, because I'm human) please bring it up with me before you just change it. Because you might be wrong.

Stuff I'm just curious about
 * 1) Why'd you change all references to Lehon to "Rakata Prime"? Just curious. Seems a bit superficial.

Thanks for your time and sorry if it seems like I'm having a go at you. That's not my intention. Later, dude.  Uli Talk 02:26, September 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've responded to your response over at my own talk page.  Uli Talk 21:02, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

Okay, I've done the edit. Extending the Rakata System stuff seemed too forced, so I ended up keeping it closer to how it used to be, whilst bringing in all but the "space station" link you'd made. I've also got "human male" into the introduction without making the first sentence overcrowded. I just called Bastila a "Jedi", so that way we have all our bases covered. :P  Uli Talk 16:37, September 25, 2009 (UTC)

FAN - Inexpugnable
Thanks for the help Kasra! I'll be working on your suggestions (and those of other Inquisitors) as they come in. I wasn't aware of the rule about no references in the intro, though I did notice that other FAs didn't have them (I assumed it was not required, but encouraged for the sake of good sourcing.) Thanks again! Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith  -Just shy, not antisocial: You can talk to me!- 19:23, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

 * Hello Kasra! I just wanted to let you know that I've done some work on by FAN for the Inexpugnable.  Just wanted to check to see if you had any more objections and, if so, to let me know, or if not, to provide support!  Thank you!

 * Thanks for the support! Can you tell me what the next step is?  How many Inquisitors need to support it?  Am I allowed to go to some of them and be like "please review my article! I have one User and one Inq already, but need more!"?  This is my first one, so I'm not sure what to do.

RE: Metellos Exchange
Okay, thanks for getting onto it so soon. I'll be a'waiting. Nayayen (talk) 23:06, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I think I've got them all. As for the banner, I'm glad to see another person using it (Darth Malevolous has it too). But, the colors are all wrong. The text isn't nearly visible enough. Either darken the colors of the background a bit or (probably easier) just make the text black. That would work better IMO.

Hey! It's nice to see someone else from the Old Dominion on here! Yeah, I'm from Richmond.  Angel Blue (Holonet) 01:20, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Well, I know a lot about pre-New Republic history, particularly about the Jedi, and so on. Frankly, I don't know anything about the TV series and where it fits with the established Clone Wars timeline. I can't wait until they release an updated official chronology. I've been gone for a while, so I plan to start small for now, but if there's anything you think I could be of assistance on please let me know, I'd love to help.

RE: Anj Dahl
Hey, Kasra. Sure, just give me a list and I'll upload the images for you. Cheers, Grunny  ( Talk ) 04:21, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Here they are, you can choose which ones you want. With the infobox, I personally like the one on the bottom of page 12 even though there is a speech bubble which I don't see as a problem :).

If you want anymore just let me know. Cheers, Grunny  ( Talk ) 06:23, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Uthar Wynn
About my last active objection on Uthar Wynn's nomination: I suggest you to increase the Bio with simply the facts that are relevant to Wynn:

"Wynn wanted to test Revan's temple by ordering him to track and execute some defector students, including Thalia May, and to destroy a rogue assassin droid hidden in ancient Sith Lord Marka Ragnos's tomb. Revan allowed the students to escape and also helped the droid, but he lied Wynn about both facts; the Headmaster thus believed Revan had the makings of a Sith". {I am not sure about the chronological point in Wynn's bio to include this paragraph}

Then, modify the P&T to eliminate the context that has been already given (for instance "which was hiding in the tomb of ancient Sith Lord Marka Ragnos.")

That's my humble opinion, I only want to suggest you to do it. If you simply consider it, I'll be satisfied.

About Shasa, I cannot verify it right now, but I seem to remember certain sources specifying that "Progenitor's Call" is a power referred to the fish monster the Selkath known as Progenitor. It's probably somewhere on Wizards' webpage, perhaps in one of these:

one, two, three, four.

About the high percentage of Force-sensitive Selkath... Well, you do not consider it to be really neccessary in this article, so, it's enough for me.

--Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:36, November 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * Neither can be done. Let's try if you will alternate ways to communicate. Skippy Farlstendoiro 08:02, November 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Just to be 100% sure: I'm assuming the question you wanted to discuss with me is already dealt with, right? --Skippy Farlstendoiro 07:13, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

KOTOR quote request
Hey Kasra, I'm working on Shaela Nuur right now and need some help. I haven't had access to my KOTOR game in some time, and I need the information from Deersa Luur Jada on the Great Hunt as well as what is written on Shaela's databad in the tomb on Korriban. I haven't played in forever, so I've completely forgotten both. But if you can provide this information, please let me know. Darth Trayus  ( Trayus Academy ) 23:37, November 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Haha you call that a late response? You, my friend, are incredible. Take this:-- Darth Trayus Sith_Emblem.svg ( Trayus Academy ) 00:18, November 28, 2009 (UTC)


 * I was considering it but I didn't have any solid plans to as of yet. Darth Trayus  Sith_Emblem.svg ( Trayus Academy ) 20:57, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Nice work with Gira! I did what I could from memory, but I've been unable to find the Tales issue that featured this story. Thanks for the expansion.--Demos Traxen 23:38, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Malak et al.
Hey Kasra,

I'm sorry but I have been very busy these past two months and I did make it clear on my userpage and on the Inq page that my reviewing capacity would decline. Nevertheless I am going to review Malak and your other nominations eventually. My issue is is that Malak, for example, is simply not a stable nomination at this moment and I don't like the idea of concluding a review only to have another 3000 words added to the bio and extra issues added to the P&A and P&T, BtS & Intro etc as the last three KotOR issues come out. The same with Saul Karath. I will take a look at Seyugi Dervishes soon though, but I go away soon for a while and won't realistically be back until mid-December. Thanks for your patience, and keep up the good work. -- —Harrar  ( Cut the comm chatter ) 12:55, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Shaela
Hey Kasra, I have two final requests for assistance on regarding Shaela Nuur. The first: Do you have access to the KotOR Campaign Guide? If so, is she mentioned and is there any new information on her? And the second: Do you or anybody you know of have access to the CSWE? Because I need to know if she has an entry there and if so, if that entry has any new info. Any help on this matter would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! Darth Trayus  ( Trayus Academy ) 08:02, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey Kasra, Shaela's up on the FAN if you want to give her a look. And thanks for all the help with the sources, I think I got it all figured out. Darth Trayus  Sith_Emblem.svg ( Trayus Academy ) 09:00, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, thank you so much for informing me. I was unsure if that was just a typo or if it was verbatim from the game. I'll add the note, and thank you. Darth Trayus  Sith_Emblem.svg ( Trayus Academy ) 17:37, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Cade Skywalkah
Hey Kasra! I see that you're working on Cade Skywalker. Awesome stuff, and props for doing that. I hope I can help out: If you check out the article on Legacy, there are some points in the "Crafting the galaxy" subsection of "Conception" that you might want to mine for Bts. Cheers! Menkooroo 06:16, December 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * I would love to help out! Although truthfully, I don't know how much of a help I can be... I'm in South Korea until next October, and have missed out on the last few issues of Legacy, which I won't be able to read until the eventual Monster trade paperback. All of the work I've been doing on the IK's lately is based on writeup of them I did a year ago, before I had an idea of how to actually write an FA, and the Legacy Era Campaign Guide, which I shoved into my suitcase. With that said, though, I think I could probably help out with Cade in the following ways:
 * Behind the scenes: Yup, definitely. The stuff from the Legacy article, plus action figure, miniature, and whatever else I find tomorrow. My students are on winter break right now, so I can actually dedicate quite a bit of time at work to doing this. :^P
 * Personality and traits: I'll be able to write a pretty beefy section, but without the actual comics to check on, it may be slightly incomplete.
 * Powers and abilities: Per above.
 * Anything from the Campaign Guide: I totally gotcho back on this one.
 * I'll start a new workbench at work tomorrow and update you as I go along. Thanks for the invite! Menkooroo 17:51, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Cade in Manhattan
 * 2) *Check out your workbench; I did a bunch of work on Bts today. Let me know what you think, and feel free to either request or make any changes. More to come as I comb through old forum posts by and interviews with Ostrander and Duursema. Also --- could you check out Trust Issues? He's listed as only appearing in a hologram in the Appearances section, but I'm pretty sure there are a few panels of him getting beaten up by some thugs on the Wheel. Menkooroo 05:40, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * 3) *I would love to be a co-nom! Probably won't be able to happen for a while, though, as you and I are both already above the three-nom limit. :^D I just did a bunch of work on personality and traits, and moved some of what you had in there to a new section, armor and equipment. Let me know what you think. While writing it, I though it was a good idea to do it somewhat chronologically, as Cade has been developing as a character for 43 issues now, and following that development was necessary in order to write a sensical p&t section. So, for example, instead of having one paragraph that covered all of the times he says "No one dies for me", I thought it made more sense to split them up. Again, feel free to make or request any changes at all. I'll be back to write the "relationships" section later. Menkooroo 07:03, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * 4) *Really? Who is the dude getting beat up by the thugs in those panels, then? ... Or am I just remembering it very wrong? Anyway.Sorry I haven't contributed in a few days; I should be able to do more in the next week. Relationships and prob. a bit of powers and abilities. Menkooroo 15:34, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) *I'm not sure if I'd be able to do a good job on Deliah without the comics in front of me. Sorry. :^( I have a bit more I want to add to Bts, and it looks like you've already done a great job with powers and abilities. Is there anything else you want me to tackle? Menkooroo 17:58, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * 2) **Right! A pre-nom review. :^D I knew I was forgetting something important. I will definitely do that. Also, what kind of images are you looking for? More for the bio? There are a few images currently in Cade's actual article that I think you could fit in well: nyah, nyah, and nyah. Menkooroo 18:25, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

darth bane
hey, do you by any chance have some cool pictures of darth bane? he's like my favorite character from the entire star wars franchise. oh by the way, i can't quite understand how this works, with the signature stuff and all that, i'm just a star wars fan. thanks a lont and good luck.

Re: Congrats...
Thanks Kasra! Only 9 months in the coming eh?  Nayayen &mdash; TALK  21:43, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

 * I've done my review of Malak as it stands now. I've explained on the FAN page but I won't support until after Demon is finished and the TOR Timelines 7 & 8 (Jedi Civil War and Mandalorian Wars) are released and you've updated the article with any relevant info. That way, I won't have to strike my vote when you finish these, just expect them to sit around with a strikethrough but no vote for a little while ;). I'll have a look at some of your other stuff too when I have time.  Nayayen &mdash; TALK  17:00, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

More requests
Sorry Kasra, but I'm afraid I'm going to need you for all my KOTOR noms, since you're the only person I know with the Prima guide. Can you check on which characters in the Upper City South map of Taris are mentioned, and whether there might be any info the game doesn't contain? If there's anything I can do in return, just ask :). SoresuMakashi ( Everything I tell you is a lie  the truth  ) 11:08, January 9, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Rescue of Bastila Shan
Hello, Kasra:

I would say no, the conjectural title should remain. I saw the entry in CSWE, and its wording does not indicate the event as a proper noun, unlike the funeral. It is no different than saying "the United States doubled its size after the purchase of Louisiana from the French." There, it is not presented as a proper noun or an actual firm name for an event/occurrence. We don't call it the "Louisiana Purchase" instead. That's the principle at play here. The statement in CSWE reads in the same way. It refers to the rescue generically, not in a manner of naming or ascription of a proper noun. That's my take. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 03:12, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Inexpugnable and Demon Part 3
Hello Kasra, I was just going to ask if you could please review the new paragraph on my Inexpugnable-class tactical command ship FAN. I know you already support the FAN, but since there;s a new paragraph, I'm asking you and Nayayen privately to look it over, lest it not meet your standards. NOTE: It is spoiler-ridden, so if you haven't read KOTOR 49 yet, then wait until later. Also note that I plan to get a scanned image of the Swiftsure from KOTOR 49 and put it in the article at the paragraph tonight. Thank you! <font color=#FF0000>Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith  -Just shy, not antisocial: You can talk to me!- 14:18, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Kasra,

Question: how much do you know about the Tomb of Freedon Nadd? —Tommy 9281  ( Mechno-chair ) 16:43, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Is it not featured in KOTOR 1? —Tommy 9281 Mechnochair negwt.jpg ( Mechno-chair ) 16:48, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, what do you have in mind? We both have several things to wrap up before we can focus primarily on the tomb anyway, so it's no big rush. —Tommy 9281 Mechnochair negwt.jpg ( Mechno-chair ) 16:43, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

I think this has been a long time coming. Your tireless work on the most random articles (=P) is just amazing.

Re: Battle of Foerost
Hey Kasra,

I wouldn't consider it a retcon. That specific character wasn't named in the TSW comic If I recall correctly, so that JJM basically did was put a name to a face.

Hey, Kasra:

I was wondering if you were going to be on IRC later. I have some errands to run, but will be back on later&mdash;around 9pm EDT. If not, no big deal, but I wanted to speak with you about your FANs.

Hey
Hey Kasra! Yes, I'm back - at least on a limited basis. I had an urgent RL situation last fall so I had to concentrate on that. Now that everything is settling down I have some time to devote to the Wook again. I plan on being around at least a couple of times a week. Congrats on being WOTM! You certainly have been working around here. I see that you have some FANs and I'm hoping to be able to get to them at some point soon. I have to say that I'm somewhat relieved that the KotOR story is ending since now we may have a chance to really straighten out the project and not have to worry about updating all the time. <span style="font-variant: small-caps; font-family: times, cursive; font-size: 16px"><font color=#008080>Cylka  <span style="font-family: times, cursive; font-size: 13px"><font color=#00A693>-talk- 19:46, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

KOTOR 50
Hey Kasra, can you do me a solid? I won't be able to get KOTOR #50 for another week or so (my car died, and my comic book shop is quite far; I won't be able to schedule a trip down for a bit.) Could you tell me, without any spoilers, if the Inexpugnable-class appears in the issue? That way, I'll know to get the issue earlier than I would otherwise need to, or put a quick note saying that the article is undergoing an edit or whatever. I just don't want my FAN disrupted because of a problem getting the last issue. Thank you! <font color=#FF0000>Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith  -Just shy, not antisocial: You can talk to me!- 16:40, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * No worries about that; I pre-order three months in advance (when Diamond codes first come out) and get a 25% discount, and they hold the books for me. I have Legacy 44, SW Adventures 3 already on hold, and KOTOR 50 and Legacy 45 coming soon.  And he sold books at CAD/USD parity when the Canadian dollar was strong (book publishers never modified their cover prices when the difference in dollar value decreased).  But thatnks for letting me know about the Inexies.  Cheers! <font color=#FF0000>Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith  -Just shy, not antisocial: You can talk to me!- 20:24, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Kreia's lightsaber
Yes, I did get that message. Since the CSWE is the latest source, it should be added that she used a green double-bladed 'saber. All we know for certain is that she used one before she lost her hand. I would assume that she didn't afterward, but that is Bts material. Also, I believe the CG has an image of her controlling three floating purple blades, but in the game they were all different colors. That will be Bts material also. <span style="font-variant: small-caps; font-family: times, cursive; font-size: 16px"><font color=#008080>Cylka  <span style="font-family: times, cursive; font-size: 13px"><font color=#00A693>-talk- 02:21, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok, but that is kind of weird. I would have imagined that it would be nearly impossible to use a saberstaff with one hand. Yes, I have the pc version of the game and she used different colors. I'll go back to some savegames in the next few days and tell you which colors they were. That is another Bts thing. <span style="font-variant: small-caps; font-family: times, cursive; font-size: 16px"><font color=#008080>Cylka  <span style="font-family: times, cursive; font-size: 13px"><font color=#00A693>-talk- 02:35, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

FA noms
Kasra:

Since we've been unable to connect, I'll just post this here. I'd rather not leave it on the FAN page, but you should be aware of something. Let me simply state that I have gone through and combed every single sentence within the prose of Calo Nord to excise the rampant speculation, areas that needed clarification, and the things that were poorly worded. Especially because of the things that were improperly cited or speculative, I strongly admonish you to go through the other noms on the FAN page within the "Bad guys" project and to heavily scrutinize them. After browsing through the others, I saw similar things. Please rectify them before they progress any further or they will not leave the FAN page as a successful nomination. I'm happy to help out, but I should not have to feel like everything written within an article needs to be questioned. I'm sorry to slap this here, but you are a more talented writer than this. You have the capability to make the KotOR noms work and to really progress the entire WookieeProject. Please be more careful in the future, however. Lastly, please make note of how I changed the wording of the game-play options paragraph in the Bts. Please see how I avoided lacing it with "the player" and refrained from mentioning Revan when speaking about player options. Please note this for your reference in other nominations. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 17:51, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

GAN
It's considered bad form to go back and "revert" changes you made to a nominated article per a reviewer's objection during the nomination process. Such as changing back all mentions of the character's surname to his first name, even after making this change originally following an objection requesting you to do so. This isn't the first time I've seen you do this, Kasra, and it's not a good habit to get into. At the very least, you should discuss this with the reviewer who made the objection in the first place. For the time being, I would suggest changing back the article to the agreed-upon version. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:34, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't mean to infer that everything in that specific edit had to be changed back, just that reverting a change made by way of a reviewer's objection without discussion is generally considered bad form. You're welcome to keep any other minor wording or formatting changes you made. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:49, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * You know more about the subject material than I do, so if that is the case regarding his last name, very well. But for future reference, this is why it's best to utilize the edit summary feature to explain to anyone curious, like myself, why the change is being made.

Re: Malak's name
Hey Kasra. I see that you already changed his name back to Alek and that is good, since JJM clarified that Squinquargesimus is not part of his name. I also read the above post, and I have to agree with Tope that it would have been a good idea to show your evidence and talk it over with the person who made the objection about the name, if only to avoid having any conflicts. As for the CSWE images, doesn't JMAS have access to it also? <span style="font-variant: small-caps; font-family: times, cursive; font-size: 16px"><font color=#008080>Cylka  <span style="font-family: times, cursive; font-size: 13px"><font color=#00A693>-talk- 16:09, February 20, 2010 (UTC)
