Brigian
Hey. I had a look at the Star Wars Encyclopedia and The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia and they both have separate entries for Brigia and Briggia. It's Briggia that appears in X-wing. I don't know whether it was a typo when they made the game or if they intended it to be a different planet, but I guess they are now anyway. I've split the article and fixed any links as appropriate.

 * Hmm. Thanks. I checked with Jason though, and he confirmed that the Atlas treated them as the same place. Now, we're in trouble :P --Eyrezer 21:28, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * That being the case, I'll hold off on getting you to dig up info from the game for me for a bit. --Eyrezer 21:45, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Freedon Nadd
Hey, Eyr,

There's an anon who keeps making poor-quality edits to Freedon Nadd. Do you mind protecting the article please, especially since it's up for FAN? Thanks, —Tommy 9281 21:46, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. --Eyrezer 21:51, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Ravilan
Thank you very much for your review and support of Ravilan. Naturally, it was most appreciated! :) I am glad you liked it. —Obi–wan Jacobi   ( Talk ) 01:39, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I heard a rumor the other day that you might be a fellow Kiwi. --Eyrezer 02:25, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey Eyre, thanks for adding EC to all my old votes. I didn't realize I could apply the EC vote retroactively as well, but you cleared that up for me. Thanks. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 01:24, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I know we've done it with Inq votes so before, so I can't see why it would be any different for the CAN. --Eyrezer 02:06, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Template use on Lontar
Hey Eyre. Rather than revert you or make an objection on the GAN page, I thought I'd let you know that this change you made on Lontar from Quote to Dialogue templates is incorrect for two speakers per Forum:CT Archive/Quotations. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 05:23, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I made the change following a request in IRC :) --Eyrezer 07:58, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * No worries, just thought you'd see a talk page post quicker than a note on the nom page :). Grunny  ( talk ) 08:05, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Kloperian
Hey, Eyrezer: Rather than strike my support and object, I thought I'd mention something that caught my attention. "The Kloperians were referred to by Rusch as "it." This may be because the species did not have the typical male/female genders, although at one point, reference is made to "wives." " Comes off as too speculative. I understand the meaning of it, but I would like to see this watered down so it doesn't sound like speculation. The whole "this may be" thing and the "typical...genders" made me cringe. For some reason, I didn't notice it earlier, but happened to see it today. Thanks. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 20:22, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll take another look at it, but it is actually through paying close attention to the source material that I have made this comment in the BTS. --Eyrezer 00:10, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * How does it look now? --Eyrezer 00:13, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

The Fooians of Foo
Hey, Ey. I'm working on Pashvi, and I want to establish that the Pashvi system is their home system, despite the fact that no source explicitly says as much. I know you've done this in a few articles, quoting Jason Fry's statement that when the Atlas mentions a Foo system, it is intended to be the home of the Foo species. I can't find any article where you've done this, though. Can you point me to one so I can link up the Pashvi and the Pashvi system? Thanks! ~ SavageBob 23:04, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL. I had made a start on the Pashv myself. Great minds think alike, or else they are the sole occupants of a grid! That said, please go ahead. Haserian and Kauronian are two examples where I have done this. --Eyrezer 23:16, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I figure I don't want to go over three FANs at a time, so I was looking for something that might be CA territory, and they are one of the sole inhabitants of that square... :) Thanks for the links; I've updated the article with your text. ~ SavageBob 03:21, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Arkudan
Hey, Ey. Did you mean to remove Arkudan from the Coordinate Challenge map? They seem to be located at Q-6, unless their homeworld article is incorrect. ~ SavageBob 13:30, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm. They are at Q-6, only they share that grid with the Mizx, which are a GA. No? --Eyrezer 13:32, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Correct, but until now, we've been lumping all species for which we have FAs, GAs, and CAs, even at the expense of losing a link to whichever one is the highest-level article. In other words, we've been sacrificing a quick link in favor of having as complete a representation of our "featured" species as possible on the map, so Arkudan and Mizx have to learn to share. :) We could change this, but I'd like to see some way to maintain the information of which species are not on the map, if we do. ~ SavageBob 13:40, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but my point was more that I didn't remove them from the map at all. They are there now... --Eyrezer 13:43, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Um. Well, then. I seem to have misread the side-by-side comparison of your change. Nothing to see here, move along, move along... :O ~ SavageBob 13:46, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I was experimenting with Tyber over different ways to represent progress on the grids. One option was to use two triangular images -- one in the top left and one in the bottom right to show when Phase I and Phase II are complete. We couldn't get the two triangles to link to separate articles though. --Eyrezer 13:51, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Revwiens in CSWE
Hey, Ey, I noticed you hadn't included any information from the CSWE in the Revwien expansion, so here's some info for ya: There doesn't appear to be an entry for Revyia, Tyia or Thuwisten. Anything else you think might mention them? ~ SavageBob 00:40, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Revwien A species of ambulatory intelligent plants from Revyia, a world located on the outer fringes of the Outer Rim Territories. The philosophy of Tyia was widely adopted by Revwiens.

Hi!
Hey Eyre,

I just wanted to apologize if I seemed a little harsh on the boosqueak nom page. I thought I should let you know my thoughts on OR/assumptions and blah blah blah.

Basically, I think that we can never assume that something was inspired by something else, no matter how obvious it seems. Saying "probably" or "likely" or "appears to be" doesn't, in my opinion, make things any better, as it's still kinda making an assumption. What I think is always best is noting the similarities, but leaving it at that, and letting the reader connect the dots themselves --- if there's no proof of a connection, I just don't think it's our place to connect the dots ourselves, ya know? If the wording of Mephitisian looks limp, it's 'cause it notes the similarities and lets the reader connect the dots without saying "Probably inspired". Boosqueak could, IMO, say something like "Boosqueak's article in Rebellion mentioned exotic animals from Fedje, and VOTF later went on to mention exotic pet salesmen from Fedje" without saying "probably" or "likely." I don't know... am I crazy? Similar issues arose with the Don Wan Kihotay FAN --- he's obviously inspired by Don Quixote, but without any clear evidence, Hydro and I agreed that it would be best to note the similarities and leave it that. Whaddya think? Menkooroo 17:08, September 17, 2010 (UTC) Hey! I have no idea if replying to Wookieepedia mail actually gets the message to the original sender, and I'm at an airport internet cafe and about to go on vacation for a week, so I'll just repost what I put in the e-mail here. I hope that's OK. Here we go...
 * That's ok, Menk. I actually only saw it now. I raised the Mephitisian example as to me that is a blatant source of inspiration, whereas the example of the boosqueak was less so. By disagreeing on both, it shows that you disagree with the general concept of making such statements, rather than the strength of this particular one. To be fair, Hydro's position on Don-Wan Kihotay appears far closer to mine, and I see that it was in fact never carried out on that article. --Eyrezer 07:28, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I definitely disagree with the concept of making statements like that in general. I hope Mephitisian doesn't look like that kind of statement. You can (obviously) fine-tune it if you want, even all these months later. And check out Hydro's second post there, man! :^D Menkooroo 06:03, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hey! I actually appreciate the e-mail and was thinking of sending one to you, too. I felt like I was a little stubborn on a couple of recent issues, and I wanted to let you know the same thing; I love your work at the Wook and I felt bad over how I probably came across. I've seen you take care of objections on other people's noms before, and I've always admired it, actually, what with you helping the Celchu trial and a few other ones go through. The only problem with the current slab of noms is that I don't think any of them were copy-edited. :^P You won't have the energy to take care of that for all twenty-five of them, will you? :^D I'm not sure if this reply will reach you... does replying to soandso@wookieepedia.com actually go anywhere? But in any case, I'm on vacation for the next week, so if I don't respond to anything, that's why. Cheers! Menkooroo 08:33, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, thanks for picking up my slack on the CAN; for some reason I was thinking like it was the GAN and still needed that vote&mdash;I need some more sleep :P. Anyway, thanks. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 03:26, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL. No problem. I actually get confused as to whether the 2 days has passed as my time zone is ahead anyway. I do find it funny though, how votes seems to get evenly spread over nominations so that lots have one vote from different people but none have enough to pass. Sometimes frustrating. :P --Eyrezer 03:29, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha yeah; I'll make sure to watch for that in deciding what articles to review on the CAN in the future. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 16:24, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

CSF FAN
Hey, thanks for the review and the help with the BTS. If you could please add your vote as an Inq I would appreciate it a lot! Thanks. Coruscantfan 00:32, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL. Well I will, but I skipped straight to the BTS and so I have not yet read and reviewed the rest of the article. --Eyrezer 00:33, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh crap. Between you and Jonjedigrandmaster you guys are killing me! I only two more Inq votes! Kill me now! lol Coruscantfan 02:30, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
