EduCorps things
Hello, EduCorps member. This is a general message to you, as an EC member, regarding EC membership responsibilities. In accordance with recent site mandate, it is now the responsibility of all EC-exclusive members (EC members who are not otherwise also members of the Inq or AC) to maintain the Comprehensive article system by reviewing CANs and attending EC meetings. Since the beginning of this initiative, several members of the EduCorps have made no effort to meet their new responsibilities, so the EC came to a formal agreement to send out general notices to all EC members reminding them of their expected responsibilities. For those EC members who do not meet their responsibilities, an effort will be made to remove their membership. The next EC meeting has been scheduled for next weekend, on Saturday, October 12, at 7 PM ET. Hope to see everyone there. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 19:48, October 4, 2013 (UTC)

Hi 501st dogma! I just wanted to post a little message to thank you for supporting my nomination for Wookieepedian of the Month. I couldn't be more grateful.--LennyF (talk) 15:47, November 1, 2013 (UTC)

Uunu
Hey, Dogma, just wanted to remind you that you've got objections on Uunu from Menk. They're approaching two weeks of inactivity. Cade   Calrayn  18:00, November 5, 2013 (UTC)

Nom
LOVE your workbench. This might be able to help you out --- AdmirableAckbar was working on him before he left. Maybe there's something in there you can use. Enjoy! Menkooroo (talk) 01:22, November 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey I was peeking at your workbench again. Do you need Ylesia? I have a pdf I could send you that I downloaded from StarWars.com back when it was still available. Menkooroo (talk) 04:57, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * Cool, check your gmail. Menkooroo (talk) 13:12, December 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hey dogma, just wanted to let you know I addressed your objection on the Battle of Talay (Great Galactic War) article nomination a while back. Thanks again. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 16:39, December 10, 2013 (UTC)

Kolot
Hey. I'm impressed you got that to 1000 words. Just two things:
 * "At the time that Zsinj's Iron Fist&hellip;" That sentence is a little long and hard to follow.
 * "When Petothel likened Kolot to her&hellip;" Doesn't really say much about his personality since anybody would be confused by that. Green Tentacle (Talk) 22:11, December 12, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Your leaving
Thanks for your message :)  Commander Code-8  You lost the game! 21:07, December 19, 2013 (UTC)

What is this I read?
Hi, I'd just like to ask, this "Agricultural Corps" you're with if you don't mind me asking' what is it? And could please give me link to this place so I can learn more about it?--  MadMarek  (Force Box) -  "We speak, we learn, thats what we're for"  14:20, December 24, 2013 (UTC)

Re:EduCorps
Thanks for the info and link, I think I still have a lot to learn about 'em, but maybe I'll join later.--  MadMarek  (Force Box) -  "We speak, we learn, thats what we're for"  14:04, December 26, 2013 (UTC)

11-4D
Hi Dogma, I haven't finished reading the book yet, but by the looks of things only a fairly minor update is going to be required. --Jinzler (talk) 23:20, January 31, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Voxyn
One mention, on page 145, in a paragraph about Han and Leia's Children. "When they participate in a mission to eliminate the Yuuzhan Vong cloning labs that grow the Jedi-hunting voxyn, Anakin sacrifices himself to help destroy the voxyn." Hope this helps. <- Omicron (Leave a message at the BEEP! ) 19:25, February 1, 2014 (UTC)

RE:WOTM
Hey, that's way cool. Thanks! Protectorate (talk) 23:33, February 7, 2014 (UTC)

Pelikki
Hey 501stdogma! Due to the fact that I could find a good imahge from the visual guide, I made changes to the pelikki article. So if you want to revise your review/vote, please go ahead. :-) -- Lelal Mekha  (Audience Room) 12:10, February 15, 2014 (UTC)

New step to archiving a CAN
Hello, since you are a member of the EduCorps, I just wanted to let you know that there is another step that should be completed when archiving a CAN due to the change in the nomination system. Here is the new addition.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  02:37, February 18, 2014 (UTC)

Re: IRC
Hey, dogma. I just tried logging on through the CGI gateway and it does the same for me too. I'm not sure what's going on. I'll try to find out and let you know. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 16:42, February 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, word I'm getting is that Wikia has removed this feature. There is a long-term solution to this, I'm told, but I'm not sure when it will be implemented. In the meantime, if you use Firefox as your Internet browser, I would recommend installing and using ChatZilla as your new chat client, which is what the majority of us use anyway. If you're not using Firefox, you should start using it. :P Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 16:57, February 23, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Comet update
It's mostly just the material seen in the "Plo Koon's Discovery" clip released last May. The full episode will be on Netflix this Friday.  CC7567  (talk) 22:08, March 1, 2014 (UTC)
 * If you're able to access it and/or haven't done so already, Netflix gives new users a free trial period of a month. It would be ideal for you to have access to the original source, particularly because the Closed Captioning identifies what Comet's lines are (he's the trooper outside the turbo tank, the first trooper to speak in the clip). Otherwise, I can take a look when you're done and add any missing details.  CC7567  (talk) 00:48, March 10, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, several things regarding your update:
 * Please use Majorspoiler, Spoiler, and Endspoiler as appropriate.
 * To my knowledge, the episode and/or its dialogue do not specifically identify the crash site of Sifo-Dyas's shuttle as the moon of Oba Diah. I could be wrong, but it would be safer to cite that detail to the episode guide. Also, the unidentified Oba Diah desert moon needs to be specifically linked.
 * The article can make use of these approximate dates: c. 21 BBY for "Escape from Kadavo" (from Star Wars Annual 2011), and c. 20 BBY for "The Lost One" (from Star Wars: Darth Maul—Death Sentence 1).
 * That's definitely a sandstorm and not a snowstorm in the scene from "The Lost One." The Equipment section should also reflect the fact that he was wearing sand-proof and not cold-weather gear.
 * What did Koon do once they found the wreckage of Sifo-Dyas's shuttle? You're going to need to find some way to access the rest of the information from the episode, or at the very least check on the episode guide.
 * Episode names cannot be formatted with italics (as you currently do in ref 11), but with quotation marks. Furthermore, the TCW citation template should be used.
 * "and would go on to use cold-weather combat gear on Oba Diah": it was on the Oba Diah moon, not the planet itself.
 * Since you've mentioned all his other appearances in the Bts, you should do the same for "The Lost One."
 * Please also check the episode guide for info on him. At the very least, it should merit an inclusion in the Sources with a Po, since he's pictured in the first "Episode Gallery" slide. You can also get that image from the guide to add to his article.  CC7567  (talk) 15:16, March 12, 2014 (UTC)

Also, a note about Netflix: you do need to provide payment information to get the free trial, but as long as you cancel your subscription before the first month is up, they won't charge you. In addition, it isn't specified in Netflix's captioning, but it appears from the way Comet moves visually that he speaks the "Halt! Halt all vehicles!" line. Furthermore, I'd recommend retitling the "Oba Diah" section title since they weren't on Oba Diah specifically.  CC7567  (talk) 15:38, March 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * I grabbed and uploaded this image from the trailer, which is essentially the only good image of Comet in the episode. Hope that helps.  CC7567  (talk) 02:58, March 13, 2014 (UTC)

Smoking PSA Good Article Nomination
Several months ago, Smoking PSA was up for a Comprehensive Article Nomination. You had provided some excellent feedback, but due to the revisions, the article exceeded the length required for Comprehensive Articles. Now that the Trash Compactor discussion regarding commercials and PSAs has been put to rest for over two months, I decided it was time to take your advice and nominate it as a Good Article. I'd appreciate you taking another look at it and providing further feedback and/or supporting it if you feel that it's ready. Thanks in advance! -Thunderforge (talk) 04:34, March 11, 2014 (UTC)

Doz. sh(n?)ark venom
You sure that it is snark and not shark? Both the German and my English text version say "shark".  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 22:32, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * IMHO, it is likely that both of my sources misread the word. I'll trust you, but maybe we can find another one who could check it.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 23:16, March 24, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll trust the too of you. Thanks for checking this.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 23:46, March 24, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Song of War
This is all that I could find: Page 106 - in a section about the Hapan Royal Navy: "The fleet's known flagships include Star Home and Song of War."-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  15:14, March 26, 2014 (UTC)

EduCorps meeting X
Just to let everyone know, the next EduCorps meeting is at 7 PM ET on April 12th.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  03:30, March 28, 2014 (UTC)

Disappointed
I have been continuing to notice this form of laziness for quite some time now. I am disappointed that you, Manoof, Corellian Premier, and Ayrehead failed to catch the most blatant mistakes in Lee's Roan Shryne CAN. As reviewers, it is your responsibility to thoroughly check each and every part of a CAN. Let us look at some mistakes that no one caught while giving the article a copy-edit: I am assuming that you guys are aware of the February 2012 Mofference in which we changed the infobox name procedure. All non-disambig conjectural titled articles must always have the entire title in the name parameter. So at the moment, the name parameter is completely incorrect. Next, the double brackets of the infobox box needs its space removed. It should look like. After that, "The Padawan and its master." Do you see anything wrong here? Yes, we do not know if the person is a male or female, but we also do not know if the person is asexual, as the "its" is implying here. I told Lee about this a few days ago so I am upset that he did not catch this instance here. Lastly, I would give the entire article another copy-edit, just to clear up any grammatical mistakes.

I hope you guys take what I said into consideration because, as Educorps members, you need to show a good example for newer writers and editors. If you make these little mistakes consistently, I can assure you that they will most likely pick up those bad habits. Not only that, they might appear in your writing as well. Take your time while reviewing articles, even if they are small and less than 250 words.  JangFett  (Talk) 14:27, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
 * I understand that Manoof is not an EC, dogma, but that was not my entire point. As for his experience, that is no excuse for the others, I am afraid. As for the "its"&mdash;that is partially true, but you are implying that Shryne is asexual, which is not confirmed. As for Lee's changes, you can always give it a copy-edit.  JangFett  (Talk) 14:44, March 30, 2014 (UTC)
