FAN Objections

 * Please do not strike other people's objections on the Featured Article nomination page, as it is a violation of policy. I see you left a note on the comments page, I just hadn't gotten around to looking at it. I've struck my objections and added my support.

Omas objection
I've responded to your objection to the Cal Omas Featured Article nomination, if you could take a look; it's the only think keeping it on the FAN page... Thefourdotelipsis 23:53, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

Harrar nom

 * Sourcing the infobox appears to be the only requirement left on Harrar if you are still interested in getting it to FA. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 16:48, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

C'baoth FA objection
In response to your objection to Joruus C'baoth, I put that info ahead of the stuff from DFR because I was illustrating some of his feats in battle, and the Ukio thing is the main show of his skills in such combat. However, if you really feel it's necessary, I can work on changing the order of the information.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 23:22, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Added mention of General Covell. Thanks for informing me the article was missing that.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 22:21, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

RE: Kre'fey at Balmorra
Hold on, I'll remove that, it was the wrong battle, it's supposed to be Kuat, and the info comes from the Bothan who spoke to Han and Leia at the end of Inferno, who mentioned that Kre'fey was with the fleet that came from Kuat to aid at Kashyyyk.Tank 17:37, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

Re:Random appreciation
Thanks, Harrar. The Grand Admirals have always interested me, and I'm glad you like my improvements to them. And yeah, having them all as FAs someday is the plan (Green tentacle, Hydro and 4dot are also working on/plan to work on some as well). :) --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 21:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Categories
Hey, Harrar. I saw your question on Kuralyov's talk page and thought I'd give you a hand. In my opinion, the best way to learn wikicode, both for categories and other things, is through sheer copy-pasting. Take a look at this article. Click "edit," then scroll to the bottom of the article. There you'll see an example of correct categorization. Simply copy that format, and apply it wherever. --Imperialles 18:36, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * To add on to that...basically, there's no need for redundancy. Placing (for example) Tsavong Lah in the Yuuzhan Vong senior officers category will already place him in the Yuuzhan Vong and Yuuzhan Vong officers category by default. Kuralyov 22:30, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Cookie

 * Keep up the good work! -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 01:06, 11 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: Felth
Hey, Harrar. I appreciate the help. Can you elaborate some on Felth's role in the story - i.e., are we sure it's Felth? Is he directly identified? If you could give me a rundown of the scene so I can put it into the article, that would be great. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:01, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Flow-walking
Hey Harrar. If you have time, could have a look at the Aing-Tii article, specifically the part which discusses Flow-walking. My knowledge of Dark Nest and LOTF is limited, so there may be some info missing there. If you have time, could you add whatever you can to that part with references? It would be greatly appreciated. If you're too busy, that's okay. Cheers, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 17:23, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Harrar; there's no rush at all. My exam's finish in one week's time; they're not particularly important, but I've been putting off so much work in the last few years that I need to get up to scratch. I also plan to write bucketloads of FAs in the summer. :) Cheers, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 17:42, 22 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much Harrar, what you've added is excellent. I owe you one favour :) -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 23:57, 23 February 2008 (UTC)

Yuuzhan Vong War
Greetings, Harrar. I see that you intend to greatly (greatly!) expand the Yuuzhan Vong War article, and for that you have my admiration. Some months ago I did that same thing on the Spanish Wookiepedia (you can check it out, likely you don't speak spanish but you can stare at the pretty pictures), and it was tiring indeed. My plans were way less ambitious than yours, but hey, the article took a life on its own and, in little over than a month, I did about 65 pages on MS Word... less than what you have now, probably, but still a lot. Eventually I reduced the article to just 45 pages, because there were many details that just didn't add anything to the flow of the narrative. I see that, as you said, you were incorporating everything, and that is great, as the war is really an important Star Wars event and its current article is rather... mh, disappointing. Nevertheless, your rewrite is going to be really huge, and will certainly be the largest page on Wookieepedia, and I, as a NJO fan, really, really appreciate your effort. Ha, to think the SP article was really good, only to have this worldship of an instant FA... I anxiously await for the day it's done.--Jedabak 18:44, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed I saw your workbench, and in fact I shamelessly copied the introduction and some assorted tiny bits of information I didn't have/forgot to add. For my part I have 16 NJO books (I once had the Force Heretic trilogy, but not anymore), plus Recovery and Ylesia, and the NJO sourcebook. I see that you omitted Recovery, perhaps it was a mistake, but if it wasn't and you don't have it, I'll gladly help you with that part. The NJO Sourcebook is full of interesting details, so I could make something of a list of useful information so it could be incorporated in the main text. Also I support your idea of writing the article as a real war, as opposed to a series of Solo's/Skywalker's adventures in the context of a war. Nevertheless it is somewhat difficult, as (for example) the Agents of Chaos duology is Han Solo and little else, and the Battle of Fondor appears only as a situation in which the heroes were involved, and we know nothing of the battle apart from their roles. Aditionally, the Mid Rim campaign (Druckenwell, Rodia, Kubindi, Kalarba, etc.), and many other battles, are sparsely detailed (I wanted to read about the Hutt Space campaign...). I see also that you plan on expanding/rewriting all the battles. I recently translated the Second Battle of Coruscant from the Spanish article, which was larger, I could do the same with the Myrkr mission. Sorry for the late reply, I've been very busy these days...--Jedabak 00:02, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Re:A modest proposal
Unfortunately, I doubt I would be of any help :(. I've only read a tiny bit of JAT from the library a few years ago, and I'm only at the very beginning of NJO. However, I would probably be interested in working on Kyp with you if I'd read more of his appearances, so perhaps I could reconsider in late summer or so when I've caught up a bit. If you do go for it solo, I'd be happy to lend my hand where possible. Thanks for your kind comments, and I'll say the same to you: keep up the good work :). Sorry for not being any help, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 20:48, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Green tentacle has started working on Thrawn with plans to FA him, alas (see here). :( I'm sure we'll find something to work on together, though; I'd definitely like to work with you. :) See you around. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 21:25, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Bolding titles
I appreciate the correction. I've been doing that for a while now and nobody bothered telling me about it. I'll look up some of the old ones I've made and fix them. Thanks and keep the tips coming. --ToRsO bOy 13:41, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Gherant question
Hey, Harrar. I saw you edited Gherant, so I was hoping you might know where this sentence comes from. His CCG card does not state this by any means. I'm wondering if there's another CCG card that's maybe not in his source list? "At the time of the Battle of Hoth, Gherant was a deck officer with the rank of commander, and his duties included controlling access to the Executor's computer core, a position for which he had been personally selected by the command ship's captain, Firmus Piett." Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:53, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:A favour
Czulkang gets three brief mentions in the NEC:


 * Pg 218: "But Warmaster Tsavong Lah, on conquered Coruscant, had already fixed his gaze on Borleais. He entrusted the counterattack to his father, Czulkang Lah, who had once held the title of warmaster and now spent his days as a tactics instructor."
 * Later in the page: "Czulkang Lah's attack on Borleais involved thousands of starfighters and group assault crawlers."
 * Pg 129: "[Tasvong] Lah...then turned his attention to Borleais. His father, Czulkang Lah, organized another onslaught to recapture the world, this time using so much firepower that the NR cold not hope to win. At first the plan worked...the SSD Lusankya rammed Czulkang Lah's worldship, destroying both vessels."

I'm fairly sure this is nothing new, but since I've not read Enemy Lines yet I can't be sure.

As for Anor, I'd certainly like to work on him with you; he'd be perfect for a co-project, I think. That said, I'm still not finished NJO, so it might be a month or two before I can start. Would arond late-July early-August suit you to start the project? :-D -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 17:39, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem; I'm happy to help you any time. Excellent. I have Handbook 2: Crimson Empire, and I should be able to get the FF entry and the ebooks by then. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 18:15, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

Typos
Hey Harrar. I saw your message on X-wing's talk page; you should get Firefox, which includes a (n american) spellchecker which can help you spot typos while you type. Oh, and I've nominated you for WOTM, if that's okay. :-) -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 10:45, 1 June 2008 (UTC)

Well Done!

 * Why thank you very much, RC-1136, its short length and sketchy detail have been annoying me for over half a year. I will now endeavour to finish it by the end of the weekend. Harrar 15:56, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Mezhan Kwaad & Malik Carr
If they're done, you should go for FA! :-P Really, though, even if there's a load of noms, the more FAs the better, and you should always strive for the star. :-D -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 23:58, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Welk
Hey Harrar. I recall a while back you nominated Welk for FA, then abruptly pulled it down. I was wondering if you were going to nominate it again. I think you should, because it's a pretty good article. Don't feel like you have to or anything; I'm just making a suggestion. It's up to you. Thanks for your time.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 13:10, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see why you didn't nominate it. I thought you can form a pretty concrete background, but after hearing your explanation, perhaps not. I may re-ead Inferno and whatever else in LOTF reveals info about him (I just re-read the DN Trilogy) though. Hey, maybe we could do some work on it together soon (it wouldn't need much before it's ready for the FAN page). Anyway, thanks. As for Daala, I will add that information. Good luck with Alema.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 21:01, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Hey
Have you ever considered dropping into the Wookieepedia IRC channel or listing an email address (you would be able to send and receive emails through Wikia without anyone actually knowing your email address)? :-) -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 18:49, 28 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, definitely. Sorry I missed you; I was reading Star by Star when you came in. See you around. :-) -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 15:12, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Bugslut
Love the title, mate. :-) Just a suggestion, though: for the Yuuzhan Vong War section, you may want to attempt a further subdividing of the two major sections, particularly if you can't get more images for them. This will also enable you to put in a few more quotes, which also help to break up the huge mass of words. Just a stylistic concern, really, as your hard work on behalf of the Wook is very much appreciated.-- Goodwood  ( Alliance Intelligence ) 23:11, 2 July 2008 (UTC)
 * D'oh! Yeah, he did have Lumiya use that term. Odd language for an EU novel to use, really, but then it was just as surprising to see it in a Harry Potter novel too, albeit in its pure form! But yes, those were the two sections I meant. At any rate, good luck with the article!-- Goodwood [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 23:23, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Alema
I have no problem with you bringing that article to FAa at all. In fact, I welcome it. Thanks, and I hope you choose to make more articles like this FAs in the future. Cheers. DC 19:09, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Nen Yim
What talk page? Anyway, the image we have for Mehzan looks like how Nen is pictured in pretty much everything else. Where have you heard it's Mehzan? Rodtheanimegod4ever 20:33, 5 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Never mind. Rodtheanimegod4ever 20:33, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Hello
Would you mind popping in :#wookieepedia when you get a chance? I'd like to have a discussion with you. Thanks. Graestan ( Talk ) 14:55, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: Kwaad

 * Glad I could help and I'll look at the FAN page now. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 21:44, 19 July 2008 (UTC)
