Look over
Since you are an Inquisitor, can you look over Thermal detonator for me? I have worked on it before, then couldn't get on, and it failed G-A noms. I haven't been able to do much now, so I was wondering if you could look it over and tell me what was needed. If you can't I totally understand. Thanks! -- Jedipilot94 *Fo-Shizzle*  20:34, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, first of all, what you need to do is look through every source they appear in and extract as much information as you can. Then, maybe go into detail about a few of the different types of thermal detonators, but don't give too much info, as that should be reserved for the individual article. Once you've done that, contact me again, and I'll have another look. Thefourdotelipsis 23:25, 27 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Let me just add that you should be sure to in-line source all of the information you add - Sourcing will explain how to do so, and why it's important. jSarek 05:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I have worked on it some, so I guess you could check it out now. I kind of got distracted, but I feel it looks a bit better. Can't wait for season 2! Jedipilot94 [[Image:fordocw.jpg|25px]] *Fo-Shizzle*  00:25, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Teek pics
Hey 4dot. Thanks for getting those Teek pictures for me. Would you be able to upload them and add them to the article for me? I'm about to go to sleep, and seeing as though the article is now an FAN, I thought it would be better to add the pictures sooner rather than later. Thanks, --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 21:07, 6 October 2007 (UTC)

Your Quote
Very funny! I was wondering if I met you before, and when I view the page's source... . :D Hanoi Girl 00:10, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Missing image
I noticed that both Coruscant and Coruscant Reminder were missing the same image (Image:98 4.gif). You deleted this image on September 30th, but you didn't remove them from the pages or reupload it as a jpg. I left it there in case you plan to reupload it, as it would be interesting to see a Coruscant Reminder (if possible in non-gif form).--Tim Thomason 22:40, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, right, thank you for that. At any rate, it wasn't being used properly on the Coruscant article. I'm sure someone will reupload it, but if they don't, I'll do it in the forseeable future. Thefourdotelipsis 00:51, 10 October 2007 (UTC)

Underworld
Here's the text of Talmont's report:

The Hutt Kajidics Prefect Eugene Talmont Arkanis Sector

Older and more corrupt than the Old Republic itself are the Hutt kajidics, a loose term applying to clans, "business enterprises," or even the archetypal overclan that the Hutts believe will rule the galaxy one day. Largely operating out of the region classified as Hutt Space, these bloated slugs participate in every kind of graft and vice conceivable: smuggling, kidnapping, fraud, assassination, blackmail, election rigging, loan sharking, gunrunning, hijacking, human trafficking, and cold-blooded murder.

The hermaphroditic Hutts are cunning and patient creatures who see their way of life as a means to an end -- survival. For a Hutt, the closer on is to affluence, the further one stays from death. In the cutthroat world of Hutt business, where betrayal is an expected component of any negotiation, this isn't too far from the truth. The Hutts, unsurprisingly, think themselves superior to all other creatures in the galaxy, including humanoids. Further, the mere existence of these gangsters promotes immorality. A documented phenomenon known as "The Hutt Mirror" states that persons in Hutt employment can be driven to unspeakable debauchery merely by concluding, "At least I'm still not as bad as that bloated pus-bag."

The most powerful Hutt clans are the Desilijic (headed by Jabba Desilijic Tiure) and Besadii (headed by Durga Besadii Tai), who have been engaged in a bitter feud for years.


 * The report is in the context of a compilation of reports, collected by the ISB, being sent to Sate Pestage by Max Seerdon, as underworld crime has become a large concern after Solo's role in the destruction of the Death Star at Yavin "a few months ago". So, basically, it establishes that Talmont once reported to the ISB on Hutt clans. You can also maybe get some quotes and a state of mind out of it, which is the only reason I gave the full text.

Great Sith War
Hey 4dot. Per our PM conversation earlier today, I edited the following like we discussed: Anything else, you know where you can reach me. Greyman ( Paratus ) 17:11, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I abridged the parts of Freedon Nadd's fall to the dark side, prior to his capture of Onderon.
 * Like I explained, I never had a problem with the template, and like I told you I would, added it to several major sections of the article.
 * "Frustrated at what had taken place, Kun let loose an awful cry in the Force which" &hellip; I rewrote that part to reflect his state better.
 * Per the Great Hunt, I placed the template on it like I suggested, and stripped it down like we discussed.
 * I severely reduced the length of Ulic Qel-Droma's redemption&mdash;cut it in half, approximately, and (I think) tied it into the Great Sith War better.

Manaan
Good day, 4dot. I moved the image at your request. Thank you very much for your input.  Master Aban Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 01:33, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Congrats
Just had to say, congratulations on getting "published". Well done. Cull Tremayne 11:10, 4 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Cull. :) Thefourdotelipsis 22:16, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Talmont
While researching for B'omarr Order, I came across something involving Eugene Talmont that needs to be added to the article. I left details on Talk:Eugene Talmont. Congrats, btw --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 22:01, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. If I encounter him in any further Tales from Jabba's Palace reading I will notify you. --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 23:00, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Joruus C'baoth FA objection
Hey Fourdot. Anyway, about your objection to Joruus C'baoth, I can not find a better infobox image, unless you prefer Image:Joruus.jpg. And as to any missing content from the Thrawn trilogy sourcebook, I should be able to add any info from that in about a week. Sorry for the delay.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 20:18, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, I finally was able to look over The Thrawn Trilogy sourcebook and found no new info on C'baoth. If you could scratch you objection, I'd appreciate it.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 22:18, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Leektar
So, here's what I was able to get. I'm sure Culator can biggerify any of them if you like. -- Ozzel 01:13, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Anakin's Friends

 * Any reason you are removing Seek and Melee? QuentinGeorge 07:18, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Why not? Because they mocked him once? Never had friends mock a hobby? Come on. Seriously. If Fixer can be Luke's buddy, despite treating him like absolute poodoo, I see no reason to claim Melee, a girl who had a freakin crush on Anakin, isn't a friend. Don't go all Jack Nebulax on me here. QuentinGeorge 07:24, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * He introduces them all as his friends in the shooting script. What more do you want? Him to hug them all and say, "We'll be pals for ever!" QuentinGeorge 07:29, 12 November 2007 (UTC)
 * If it'll satisfy you, I'll change it to "Childhood peers of Anakin Skywalker". QuentinGeorge 07:30, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Images next to infoboxes
You stated in the summary of that last edit on Vader's Apprentice "No images next to infoboxes". I'd like to know since when? That's not in the MOS, nor a current policy. As I understand it, as long as the thumbnail is set no wider than 180px, it's fine. Was there a consensus to change this recently? - JMAS 23:13, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * It was discussed at the Mofference and approved, if memory serves. Besides, it's as ugly as hell. Thefourdotelipsis 23:18, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
 * There was no policy/consensus reached at the Mofference. The number of people who spoke out for either side did not vary significantly. Discussion on the article in question's talk page would be appropriate. &mdash;Graestan ( This party's over ) 23:22, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

Leia Organa Solo
Wondered if you would mind swinging by and taking another look at the main image vote for Leia on her talk page. It seems to have stagnated, but with the 4th option I put up (very similar to Option 3 you voted for) if we can get enough to vote on that image, we can go ahead and change it in the article. Thanks. - JMAS 23:35, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
thanks for helping with the vandalism. If I had the authority, you'd get a Wookiee Cookie. Roger Roger 13:26, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Anyone can hand out Wookiee Cookies. --Imperialles 14:09, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Imperialles. I'm new to the templates and such though.  My user page kinda sets that out.  At any rate, I think that the article that I reported should go in the BJAODN page.  After all, that article was nonsense.  Roger Roger 20:46, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's...why I'm here. ;) Thefourdotelipsis 22:28, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

Hope this stuff is helpfull--MIS Tau 1 03:40, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

C'baoth
This is in response to a few of your objections. You said: Please let me know what you think of this.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 00:32, 2 December 2007 (UTC)
 * "I'm not sure exactly how the second last paragraph of "Service to Thrawn" is related to Joruus". It talks about the attempt to capture the twins, and how it failed. That was really the last chance C'baoth would get to finally get his Jedi. Obviously, he's not happy. It also tells of how Luke learned about Wayland, and his plans to destroy the facility. I can try to merge that info to later paragraphs if you think it's best however.
 * "And on that note, the second paragraph in that section is barely relevant to Joruus." Well, Thrawn basically says he knows C'baoth has the potential to explode, but is confident in his strategy. Again, I can put it in P&T if you think it belongs there.
 * "Why is there a section on the Ukio attack long before it actually happens?" It details C'baoth in battle, and flows with the rest of the section on his exploits.

Malak vandalism question
Hey, I was just wondering if you could point me to the official source that states that Alek is in fact Malak. If there's an official source, I'll refrain from further editing, but if there is no official source, I will remove the Alek information from the Malak page. Thanks.

Koth Melan
May I inquire as to why you removed that picture of Koth Melan from the article? - JMAS 05:30, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll explain: Images should illustrate adjacent text. There's no space to put it in a relevant section - the death pic is already there. However, I've just put it into the Personality and Traits section. Where it is relevant. Thefourdotelipsis 07:23, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Inqtastic

 * Hey Fourdot, we seem to be giving poor Chack Jadson some contradictory advice on Joruus C'baoth. Just to clarify, I've been saying that the segment at the end of "Showdown on Wayland" that discusses what happens to Thrawn and that whole shebang is irrelevant. Chack tells me that you've said the opposite, so I was curious to your reasoning if that is indeed true. It seems to me that Thrawn's death has little to do with the character, but I'm sure you have a good reason. Cheers. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 07:27, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes more sense. Just make sure Chack knows. ;-) Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 15:51, 5 December 2007 (UTC)

Come on

 * ...you know my name for it was much, much better.... QuentinGeorge 10:33, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Moved it, and now that I think about it, since the spawn is yet to be birthed it is not yet a "child", merely a fetus (and Tendra could miscarry as well, considering her age, meaning it will never be the child). So I am technically correct. The best kind of correct. (I'm sure you get the reference...)QuentinGeorge 10:40, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

Hyperspace help
Hullo, 4dot. That'll do for a greeting. To get to the point, you are the only person I know that has Hyperspace membership and I need some information from several articles on Hyperspace, if you have the free time. If you do not, or you would prefer someone else do it, feel free to point me to said person. At any rate, could you somehow get the information from these articles: Middle of a Dark Lord and Pulling My Leg, as well as any information regarding Darth Vader's glove (da special one) from Evil Never Dies: The Sith Dynasties and Glah Ubooki's Strange & Wondrous Imports, please? Thank you for your time. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  23:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ya, I know. I've been on.. uh... break. Yeah, break. No, I have no (useable) e-mail, and yes, I'm trying to get it to FA. I'v already gone through all the sources I can get my hands on and put all the garnered information on a word document. I never knew so much about vertebrae before. As well, I needed information on Vader's glove, and I figured you know where to find that stuff - Trioculus told me. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  01:42, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hydro? Eh, I've always had my wires crossed; and I'll do that. Thank you for offering to help, but for some reason I can't get on IRC. I put in my normal screenname there, and it says that due to abuse, the gateway is blocked or something similar. I even changed the screenname a bit, but it still blocked me. I'm not sure what's going on. PS, if you know anyone who has any of the other sources mentioned here, I'd appreciate it if you could point me to him/her/it. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  02:17, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You do? That's great; and thank you for all of your help and stuff. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  02:34, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, no, a week is fine. Better than me having to buy it myself by a long shot. Hmm... I guess I'd have to use Snak, being a Mac owner, but I'll have to see if I can download it. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  03:13, 17 December 2007 (UTC)EDIT: I'm not allowed, so ffft. - Solus  (Bird of Prey)  03:21, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I've been killing myself looking at comics and I've come across a few that are Hyperspace-only. They are The Emperor's Trophy, Darth Vader Strikes, The Return of Ben Kenobi, Revenge of the Jedi, and Evasive Action: Recruitment, Prey, and End Game. Because these are comics and not text, I think the best way to tell me of them/get them to me would be to upload the frames containing Darth Vader somewhere and linking me to them. To describe them would be murder for you; there are little things - the position of his arms, for example - that might hold a tidbit of information about his armor, little stuff that I've learned from doing this that I would notice and you might not. To describe it to me, you'd have to go into detail on his position, responses, and the responses of others to him of every frame. It would be a slow death. As well, as I go on, I'll add to this list, probably. Thanks so much for your help. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  01:09, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I came across more. Gambler's World, Princess Leia, Imperial Servant, Bring Me the Children, As Long as We Live, and Planet of Kadril. I'm sorry for any inconvenience. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  01:53, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
