QOTD advice
Before you ask, I'm no Admin. I'm just giving advice. First, you'll have ACTUAL Admins breathing down your neck if you don't sign your comments. You don't have to do it EVERY time (at least I don't every time.) but do it most times. And for actual edits, hit the random link and see if you can find something you know about. This kind of thing might also give you ideas about OTHER things you can edit. It'll help a lot. Another thing: Fix grammar and spelling errors. You wouldn't believe how much it helps. Also, edit one section at a time. It helps you get more edits and it also can help you spot more errors to fix, helping make wookieepedia more accurate which is all our secondary goal, right. Lastly, some large articles are laden with info gaps and grammatical errors. I know I got a lot of edits out of the ROTS game article. Thanks for reading. Roger Roger 01:46, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

QOTD requisite
There's a requisite of 50 article edits to vote on things like QOTD or Featured Articles. Looks like you're currently at 41, so for now your votes will have to be crossed. They'll be un-crossed as soon as you hit 50. Sorry for the inconvenience. Enochf 17:37, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Wookiee Cookiee

 * Hey, sorry to hear you've been blocked (only found out today due to no notice on your talk page), anyways just hope you'll stay around once your back and bring the SWTCG right up to scratch, I know it needs a little rewrite in some places but I'm not sure how to go about it. I've also asked on the Admin noticeboard if it would be okay to put a mention of the IDC in the BTS so hopefully they'll agree to that. See you around hopefully - Kingpin13Cantina Battle Ground 18:24, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

re: Cookie
Heh, thanks for the cookie. Nice to have you back here :). Sorry it took me so long to get back to you (seem to be spending more and more time at Wikipedia now) - Kingpin13Cantina Battle Ground 09:41, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Advanced tech response
Hey Manoof, thanks for answering my question!! Could you point me in the right direction for maps that possibly navigate from satellites, and the micro-power cell of droidekas. As for uplifted animals, I mean animals whos intelligence was increased from null to high. Also would the Verpine shatter gun be an example of a coilgun? Thanks for your time!!Darth Pickle 2 (talk) 00:35, November 24, 2013 (UTC).

Thank YOU
Thank YOU for the kind words! Yeah, as far as I know, that template should only be put up if an article on a living person is written in some bizarre way --- eg, treating them as if they're already dead, treating them like an in-universe Star Wars character, etc. Explaining why you revert someone's edits is always a good practice, and I'm glad you appreciate it. ^^ Menkooroo (talk) 13:03, November 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * You can do Quest if you want. Just check out the two most recent changes I made to Droma; you had removed the accessdates and added an extra reflist. Menkooroo (talk) 12:55, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

Random musings
So I'm the team lead of Project Video Games, and I wanted to stop by and see if you were interested in contributing, since I saw you had the gamer userbox. Corellian Premier The Force will be with you always 02:34, January 12, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sure, i have EAW, battlegrounds, jedi outcast, one of the older jedi knights with the expansion disc where you play as mara, pit droids, rebellion, battlefront, kotor 1 only and RepCom. Was there any specific games, i could pull one out and start to work on it. Just for curiosity, should the stormtroopers with dialogue in jedi knight get articles? Manoof (talk) 08:04, January 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Cool, welcome to the team. No, there's no specific games you have to work on and I don't make you guys go to the company picnics. And as for the stormtroopers: sure, there is a precedent. Corellian Premier Jedi symbol.svg Force will be with you always 14:45, January 13, 2014 (UTC)

Forum:CT:Modification to WP:USER regarding inactive users
Per comments from, this proposal has been modified to remove references to the two-week warning. A diff of the changes is here. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Holocomm 21:58, February 21, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks MJ for the update! Manoof (talk) 11:15, February 22, 2014 (UTC)

WOTM
Hey Manoof, you have been named Wookieepedian of the Month for March. Congratulations. I was wondering, would you be interested in doing a WOTM interview? Thanks, Supreme Emperor (talk) 01:41, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Uhm.... wow, cool lol uh, ok sure, i guess? how would you want to do it? Manoof (talk) 09:56, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'd probably just ask you to jump into the IRC sometime, and i'd give you a few questions. Then you could answer them whenever. Supreme Emperor (talk) 17:04, March 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure, i don't get internet regularly though, so we'd probably have to schedule it, im on now though and will keep it on for the next few hours :) Manoof (talk) 00:00, March 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hey, so i've got a couple questions ready, i'm ready whenever you are. I'm on the IRC pretty much every night, so just shoot me a message whenever your ready. Supreme Emperor (talk) 04:25, March 9, 2014 (UTC)

Disappointed
I have been continuing to notice this form of laziness for quite some time now. I am disappointed that you, Ayrehead, Corellian Premier, and dogma 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) 14:25, March 30, 2014 (UTC)

RC clones
Hey, Manoof, good job on these RC clones. Two of them are over 250 words now, so I archive them later (its 3 am at my location), so that you can take them to GAN.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 00:56, April 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * I archived the CANs, you can take them to the GA page now. And by the way, I believe Cade addressed your objection on his CAN.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 10:51, April 6, 2014 (UTC)

Re: source of the image
Hi! Indeed, the image doesn't come from the game itself, and to my knowledge it either doesn't come from the game guide. I had found it on a forum, someone has certainly realised the screen capture by using a mod that allows you to move the camera freely. So in fact, yes, the screen comes from the game, but not in its original condition, because the author of the screen used a mod. Hoping that my indications help you ;) Maguinic (talk) 11:30, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks for the information about the mod ;) Maguinic (talk) 11:27, April 23, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Clone troopers confusion
Hmmm, my thoughts have always been that Human should be included in Clone trooper articles, and I've also thought that the idea was that our articles are to be written as though they are being read by people that know nothing about Star Wars so that every bit of information is included. I'll see what the others think, but this may have to go to a larger discussion.  Commander Code-8  Felicitations malefactors! 09:09, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * That is incorrect. Mentioning Human male or just Human clone trooper is redundant since saying "clone trooper" alone already covers it.  JangFett  (Talk) 13:28, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

Star Wars Miniatures: Universe
Hey Manoof. Since I saw that you collected/played with Star Wars Miniatures, I was wondering if you had access to Star Wars Miniatures: Universe. If so, would you mind checking for info regarding Nom Anor if there's not too much? Thanks, 501st  dogma ( talk ) 18:24, December 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * I was just looking for the info pertaining to Nom Anor, and I didn't really know what there would be. Cav managed to find me the info for Universe too, but I forgot to inform you about that unfortunately. :/ Thanks anyways, 501st  dogma ( talk ) 14:12, December 21, 2014 (UTC)

Into the Great Unknown
Just to let you know, I fixed the infobox error in Into the Great Unknown.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  15:36, January 3, 2015 (UTC)

Character infobox
Hello, in your recent edits, you have been changing infoboxes from "Character" to "Character infobox" which is a redirect. As "Character" is the correct, non-redirect form, please change all of the infoboxes back to saying "Character" without infobox. Thank you.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  06:15, January 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * To make things clear, "Character infobox" still works properly, there just isn't any reason to have the "infobox" tacked on the end. Your addition/fixing of the fields (i.e. "|mass=") is what is removing the pages from the missing parameters category.-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  06:36, January 11, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Racer game guide
Hi, Manoof. I've got both the Prima Guide and Nintendo Guide for that game, but thanks for the heads up! Yah, I do a bit of Podracing work for whatever reason. It's a cool subject, and it was a great game. If you have the guide, I'd recommend playing the game if you haven't before. It's fun. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 05:05, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

Republic Commando turrets
Hey. I see you moved a couple of turrets from Republic Commando to names from the Prima guide and removed the LucasArts web link from sources. The names the pages were originally at appear to be taken from the LucasArts website so are correct too. You can find an archived copy of the page here. Look under navigate > gameplay > turrets. The specifications don't seem to have survived archiving but the names are still there. Green Tentacle (Talk) 11:34, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

Regarding your edit on Stavan

 * I am quite certain that the transmission was not sent by Desann. It was definitely Fyyar's voice. Path-x (talk) 23:08, February 4, 2015 (UTC)
 * It is definitely not Desann. It is Fayyar and that is clearly stated in the game. The decoded conversation between Fayyar and Kejim base contains four pieces:
 * "Please proceed with your transmission, Admiral Fyyar."
 * "Convey my dissatisfaction with commander Stavan on his performance. Inform him that he has been removed from command and will be reassigned. That is all."
 * "We'll send the message immediately."
 * And some probe droid beeping.
 * Therefore please check the game again and correct the article accordingly. Path-x (talk) 10:21, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * I am sorry but making the conclusion based on your hearing perception is completely subjective and not acceptable. To you it sounds like Desann, to me it sounds like Fyyar, so we won't get anywhere with that. The fact is that the same cut scene mentions transmission from Fyyar. You may make a far-fetched assumption that it refers to another transmission, however that does not make any sense from the game mechanics perspective. The particular cut scene was designed to to tell the player something, not to confuse the player. Additional story-perspective argument is that Admiral Fyyar was part of Imperial remnant military and therefore Stavan was in his direct chain of command, which makes it obvious that he would be the one to remove him from the post. Desann was not part of the military and had no reason to manage the relatively low-level business in the military. Path-x (talk) 17:28, February 6, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the edit. I agree that it is the best to keep the author of the transmission undisclosed until we get some official confirmation. But the only way to confirm this would be contacting either LucasArts or Raven Software. Path-x (talk) 12:59, February 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * I am glad we sorted it out. Thank you for correcting it back. Path-x (talk) 20:15, March 3, 2015 (UTC)

Republic Commando game guide question
Hello, could you check the Republic Commando: Prima Official Game Guide for information on the EC detonator? If there is an entry for the grenade, could you give me the information on my talk page? Thank you for your time.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  01:46, February 8, 2015 (UTC)

Omnibus A Long Time Ago Answer
Hey, dude. Just got your message. I gave the issue a quick once over, and there isn't any direct reference to the fact that it takes place in 3 ABY. Obviously, it was published after the Empire adaptation, though what that really says about (non) canonical placement is really up in the air. Hope that helps. TIEPilot051999 (talk) 18:03, February 24, 2015 (UTC)

Re: New Essential Chronology question
I don't see anything relating to the events on Aargau, but I do see that it places the events of Star Wars 52: To Take The Tarkin between 3 ABY and 3.5 ABY. I don't know too much about the old Marvel comics, but if the stories are chronological, you should be able to place Star Wars 48: The Third Law in 3 ABY.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  02:48, February 26, 2015 (UTC)

What are you doing with changing the legends and Canon articles

Legends articles that only exist in canon sources
Please note that any subject that only exists in canon sources prior to the Canon announcement should still have a Legends article. While I am unsure if those articles you changed are particularly worthy of having any pages, please do not simply change Legends pages into Canon articles. Thank you.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  12:42, February 27, 2015 (UTC)

Audio files
Hi Manoof! The audio files are easily accessible, both for JKII and JKJA. You need to open the game files with Winzip or Winrar and find the sounds folder. Cheers.  Stake black   msg 10:38, March 3, 2015 (UTC)
 * Glad you were able to find them :) Unfortunately no, you will probably need to download a program to convert from mp3 to ogg, but these are plentiful. Maybe there's a website that does this online, but I'm not sure.  Stake black   msg 10:57, March 3, 2015 (UTC)

RE: AT-TE
Of course, I am happy to help! In terms of the crew of the walker, this is the entirety of what the guide has to say: "Due to its size and complexity, the AT-TE requires a large crew consisting of a pilot, a spotter, and four support members to operate the laser cannons and serve as technicians. A seventh crew member controls the projectile cannon from an external firing chair. Most AT-TEs also keep an IM-6 medical droid on board." It additionally makes note of the walker's ability to carry ten clone troopers. Hope this helps! JethLordMaster  (Xia Order) 01:58, March 4, 2015 (UTC)

Regarding, Omnibus A Long Time Ago Volume 2, I haven't been on in a while so just got your message. I'll try to look it up soon and let you know.--Hobbie (talk) 06:46, March 4, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Infoboxes (Miraj Scintel/Canon)
Sorry about that! I had just copied the infobox from Miraj Scintel's Legends page. I have updated both her canon and Legends infoboxes now, though. I'll be sure to keep this in mind for future pages; thanks for telling me! Cevan (talk) 18:35, March 6, 2015 (UTC)

Sith Chalice
Hello! During the review process of the Sith Chalice article, I discovered an additional source that set up a new deal. As a consequence, the article has been significantly altered since you voted for it. If you could have a look at the new version and see if you've got any objections, that'd be most welcome. Thanks. :-) --LelalMekha (talk) 17:10, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Another NEC question
Well, a section labeled 0 - 0.5 ABY mentions the Bounty Hunter Wars, but it doesn't mention Cradossk's death. If his death happened at the start of the Wars, you can probably state that it occurred in 0 ABY.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  01:49, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * I would check to see if there is a source that says how long the Wars lasted. Then you might be able to definitively place it in 0 ABY.-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  01:54, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * As a note, I don't think you can use that reference to place Chek's part of the book in the Rise of the Empire era. From what you have now it still could have been written in between the start of the Rebellion era and the Bounty Hunter Wars.-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  02:26, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * You can say in the body that he wrote it before or during 0 ABY. That's really all that can be said without speculation in the body. Then I would suggest mentioning in the BTS that Chentu Chek lived around the same time as Dengar along with a mention of the timeframes where Dengar was active.-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  02:35, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
 * I would argue that it is not trivia since it helps give the reader an idea of the timeframe when the bike was used. Right now, just reading the article does not really give all the information, you would have to go around and look at other articles. Also, why did you say c. 0-1 ABY in the note? Saying c. 0 ABY is sufficient. That leaves it open that it could have occurred in another year, while adding 1 ABY gives a year that is not in the source.-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  03:09, March 17, 2015 (UTC)
