Species and subspecies
Hey, Eyre. I've put up a CT here: Forum:CT:Species and subspecies. Hopefully this will help us figure out how to handle subspecies articles. I've got notes or drafts done for Arkanian Offshoot, Stennes Shifter, and Saurin for which I'm not entirely sure how to proceed otherwise! ~ Savage  16:46, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Essential Reader's Companion
Hey, Eyre. I just got The Essential Reader's Companion in the mail yesterday, and it seems to include some new species IDs and possibly new planet placements. For instance, it confirms that Big Gizz is a Moggonite hybrid, and it provides a planet placement for D'vouran during the events of Galaxy of Fear: Eaten Alive that we could use so place the Enzeen species (the planet moved after the events of the book, but it's probably good enough for us). It's a beautiful book, so try to track it down if you can. In the meantime, I'll be (slowly) making my way through it checking this stuff to see how it might impact our work. ~ Savage  11:36, October 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, exciting! Keep me posted on any new discoveries. --Eyrezer (talk) 08:49, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Night-soarer
Hey, Eyre. Did you get my email about the Night-soarers? ~ Savage  14:31, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

Tiss'shar
I noticed you did a pretty big clean-up on Tiss-shar; thanks for that. I have two concerns, though. First, I see you de-linked all of the image captions. While I don't see it reflected in the Manual of Style, I don't recall us ever overturning the consensus developed at the September 9 2007 Mofference (summarized here) that included image captions as linkable. Am I wrong about this? Second, I see you've set in stone the various types of Tiss'shar as subspecies, rather than races. My concern is the canon hasn't been consistent on this point: while the Ultimate Alien Anthology refers to them as subspecies, Galaxy Guide 12: Aliens — Enemies and Allies refers to them as races. Since there isn't a set-in-stone difference in the real world between the two terms, I wasn't concerned about their conflation, and used them synonymously in the article and in the articles about the subspecies. But if differentiating between the two terms is now important for our articles, we need to decide how best to handle it. jSarek (talk) 08:15, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries. What prompted the clean-up was the addition of a new field in the infobox for subspecies, as distinct from races. There is a related discussion on this in the Senate Hall that you may want to check out. IIRC, my source was the CSWE - probably one of the more recent Tiss'shar sources, which referred to various subspecies.
 * On image captions, my understanding is that, as with quotes, they should only be linked if the term is not linked in the body of the text. I think all the ones that I took out were linked in the text. However, let me check that this is the case. --Eyrezer (talk) 08:40, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * There is this, but it doesn't appear to directly address it. --Eyrezer (talk) 08:46, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Atlas Online Companion
Hey, Eyre, where'd you find the list of systems added in the latest Atlas Online Companion update? The page on SW.com still reflects the September 2011 update, although the PDF is the newer one. Tell me you didn't scour the two PDFs side by side! :) ~ Savage  12:46, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * LOL - I wanted to ask you how you knew there had been an update. No, I haven't seen any useful list of changes, but I had a look for the corrections that I had personally sent to Jason Fry, which accounted for a few. I also had a flick through Season 4 of The Clone Wars for the homeworlds of new species. There are no doubt non-species related worlds from TCW, but I have less of an interest in them. When they eventually put up an update, we will still need to go through systemically, I suspect. Yay! --Eyrezer (talk) 19:31, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes sense. Also, it appears that the Expansion Region sectors have been assigned: per this edit. I suppose we should check through Expansion Region aliens we've featured and make sure they get the sectors mentioned somewhere. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 19:45, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Jason has also indicated that there is an Expansion Region map coming out, so no doubt all ER systems are now sectorized. --Eyrezer (talk) 00:28, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Planetnamia
Hey, Eyre. Tope pointed out to me that our commonly used "Planetnamia" citation to the Jedi Council Forums no longer seems to work. Do you have any idea what happened to Jason Fry's posting on the Planetnamians from Planetnamia thing? We probably need to update a bunch of citations... :/ ~ Savage  21:50, October 19, 2012 (UTC)


 * Just a note that while a concerted effort will eventually be started to convert all the links, in the meantime you can fairly easily convert IGN-format JCF links via the instructions here and here. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Comlink Friday, October 19, 2012, 23:18 UTC
 * Thanks for the assist, MJ! All links should nowbe fixed. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 00:50, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Conjeni
Just in case you were looking for more projects, these guys just got placed in the new Atlas update: Conjeni. Thought I'd bring it to your attention, since, as a minor WEG species, they kind of have your name written all over 'em. ;) ~ Savage  10:54, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

Dyslogia Twang
Hello Eyerezer. Since you possess a copy of Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, would you be so kind as to tell me whether Dyslogia Twang appeared in this book or not? If she does, I'd also be interested in any picture and/or pertaining info. I'm currently expanding this article, but Monsters and Aliens was already listed in the sources before I started working on it. Thanks in advance! Regards. --LelalMekha (talk) 00:31, November 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Lelal. Let me know if you still need you this and I will email you the details. Cheers --Eyrezer (talk) 07:42, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I still need this, yes. So can send me an email anytime you want. Thanks. ;) --LelalMekha (talk) 13:29, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

Andalese
Done, a few days later. Also, check your e-mail, not yet, but... later this week. Menkooroo (talk) 00:44, November 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, the suspense! How about a review of Sakiyan, too? --Eyrezer (talk) 17:01, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

WP:KOTOR
As of 0:00 UTC (8:00 PM EST), I have assumed responsibilities for leading this project, due to my predecessor Cylka's inactivity. Wherever she is, I wish her well in her endeavors, and should she come back, I will gladly turn over leadership back to her. Over the next few weeks, I look forward to reviewing more articles and also wish to get more KotOR-related projects off the ground, and look forward to moving forward to bettering this project and ultimately Wookieepedia. Thank you for your continued service to Wookieepedia.&mdash; 01:11, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Yalaran
Hi Eyrezer, I saw you reverted my edit on Yalaran, but the chrolonogy of the missions was already established in Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy: Prima's Official Strategy Guide and every JA-related article follows this convention. The fact that the Mission to Yalara is canon is indisputable. Cheers.  Stake black   msg 20:32, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sweet. Thanks for the clarification. --Eyrezer (talk) 00:52, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Image request
Hello Eyrezer, do you happen to have Star Wars: Poison Moon? If so, would it be alright if you uploaded an image of Alysun Celz using Force lightning against Skywalker, and an image of Et Rex throwing a mynock at Celz? Thanks in advance.&mdash; 05:17, January 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * There is this and this. I hope they are big enough. --Eyrezer (talk) 10:10, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Eyrezer.&mdash; 15:03, January 17, 2013 (UTC)

Request
Hey, Eyre. How're ya doing? I have a request for you.

Since we've now reached 100,000 articles, I'm planning on writing an article for Wookieepedia NewsNet reflecting on how we got this far by looking back at the earliest days of the Wook. To that end, I'm contacting as many of the oldest (unflattering term, I know. Sorry) Wookieepedians as possible and asking them to chime in.

This is (intentionally) a pretty broad question, but I'm wondering if you can tell me about your early experiences on the Wook and your impressions of what the site was like during its first couple years. Something longer than a soundbite but shorter than a short story, since I'm hoping to quote as many people as I can. Humor and wit are of course encouraged. If you're interested, go nuts, and if you're not, no worries. Thanks, and have a good day! Menkooroo (talk) 15:37, January 12, 2013 (UTC)

Making a better "Timeline of media" revisited
Hi Eyrezer, I recently picked up where Morbus Iff left off a while ago on the Timeline of media revamp discussed here, to which you contributed. I'd appreciate your opinion on the near-finished project: User:Tainb'ocu'chulainn/Sandbox Timeline. The forum for the discussion is Forum:SH:Making a better Timeline of media: revisited. Thanks. Tainb&#39;ocu&#39;chulainn (talk) 20:31, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Online Atlas
Thanks Eyrezer, for updating the online atlas page. Glad to see they're back up. They were most definitely down earlier this year for a number of weeks at least. I checked a number of times and had assumed they were gone for good. Someone must have notified the authors and the links corrected. Rokkur Shen (talk) 12:24, March 1, 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem. The links to them were down at the bottom of the page as well, so could have been easy to overlook. --Eyrezer (talk) 12:27, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

G8-R2???
Hey Eyrezer, I'm trying to confirm this droid's canonicity but can't seem to find the archived Q&A that confirms it. Since you created the page can you point me in the right direction? Rokkur Shen (talk) 08:00, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've had a quick look tonight, with no luck, I'm afraid. I was using this link here, which you might also like to try, be so far have been unable to the "Questions and Answers" section other than the "Ask the Jedi Council". I expect I would have called it that if that was its name, so it is a bit of a conundrum. --Eyrezer (talk) 09:31, March 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * Is it possible that it may have been from the Star Wars Insider Q&A from around the same time? I don't have those issues so am unable to check. My only other thought is that you may have meant G8-R3 however, given the sequential numbers I suppose it's logical that there may have been both G8-R2 and G8-R3 aboard the Queen's starship. Rokkur Shen (talk) 08:59, March 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Update: It may have been from here: http://web.archive.org/web/20060323034550/http://www.starwars.com/qa/?cat=384 If you know anyone who can extract text info from the .swf we may be able to solve this. I however can't get the .swf to load. The Phantom Menace: The Expanded Visual Dictionary states that there are only six astromechs aboard the J-type 327 Nubian royal starship: G8-R3, R2-B1, R2-D2, R2-M5, R2-N3 & R2-R9. However, from scouting around here on the wook, I believe the Star Wars: Complete Locations may state that there are eight droids. Rokkur Shen (talk) 02:54, April 6, 2013 (UTC)

Re: French
Oh, sorry Eyerezer, it seems that I overlooked your request among the large number of emails I received lately. Why yes, French is my mother tongue. I'll have a look at it immediately. ;) --LelalMekha (talk) 23:14, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * There you are: "Nevertheless you are, to your knowledge, the first of your race to ever shoot down TIE fighters in space combat, since the equipment was conceived for such strange species." I know that sentence doesn't sound too good in English, but it actually doesn't sound better in French either. It's a quite typical example of a writer trying to sound "posh" and failing at it. I rendered matériel as "equipment," but it depends on the context&mdash;could have been "hardware," "gear" or even "tools." Also, are you sure that the text says à votre connaissance (to your knowledge) and not à notre connaissance (to our knowledge)? If we want to be sure, I may need a bit of context. --LelalMekha (talk) 23:28, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * Perfect! Thanks. Yes, it does say that (your knowledge) as it is written as a character profile for the reader to use in an RPG game - so first person. Cheers, --Eyrezer (talk) 23:31, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
 * My pleasure. Do not hesitate to ask if you have anything to translate from French. --LelalMekha (talk) 23:34, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Thranta Riders on Hyperspace
Hello Eyerezer. If I remember correctly, you used to be a subscriber to the Hyperspace online feature, right? I've been hoping to expand the Thranta Rider page some more, but two of the sources are (now lost) Hyperspace articles. Perhaps you've kept some kind of backup? Regards. --LelalMekha (talk) 00:07, May 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Nope, sorry. I was never a subscriber. I don't remember those articles but I expect they were actually reprints of WEG material. - - Eyrezer (talk) 10:33, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Bosph
Thanks for the heads up Eyrezer! I saw them pretty late the other night and meant to work on them but totally forgot. Replied to all of them now. Ayrehead02 (talk) 18:48, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

Two-headed species and unidentified cantina
Hey Eyerezer. At some point, I remember that you GA'd the article on that unidentified two-headed species. As with other articles pertaining to Yoda's Challenge Activity Center, we assumed that the two-headed patron attended an unidentified cantina. However, as you can see in that article, taht cantina looks exactly like Akim's Munch, down to the furniture. Wouldn't that be enough for a duck test? Cheers. --LelalMekha (talk) 12:52, May 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Very interesting. I think that you are right! Good observation. --Eyrezer (talk) 16:27, May 16, 2013 (UTC)

Ellespad
Well, sure, I guess! What do you think could be improved? I'm a little out of ideas. Cheers.  Stake black   msg 18:00, May 30, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi there! Sorry for the delay. I don't think I'll be able to contribute to the article, so feel free to improve it. I know as much as you about this subject, so there isn't much knowledge I can help with. Cheers.  Stake black   msg 15:31, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

Hantor Loftus gender
Hi Eyrezer. I take it you were the one did work on getting Hantor Loftus to good article status? I was just going through my TRE directory, and it appears that Hantor Loftus was actually a human woman, yet the article states Loftus was a man. Now I know there's no screenshot of Loftus, but did Loftus' other source, the N.R.I. Reports shed any definitive details on Loftus' characteristics? Thanks! StarsiderSWG (talk) 01:45, June 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm travelling at the moment but will dig out primary sources once back home next month. Feel free to remind me though if it appears that I have forgotten come mid-July. --Eyrezer (talk) 08:50, June 18, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hey Eyrezer. No problem. Just wanted to check back to see if you've returned? StarsiderSWG (talk) 14:43, July 28, 2013 (UTC)
 * Just checked now and the NRI Reports are silent on gender. I also checked over the SWG notes I had and they also are silent. Good spotting. --Eyrezer (talk) 10:18, July 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hmm, interesting. Thanks for looking. In that case, I think I'll change the article to say Hantor was a female woman, as that's what the SWG TRE graphics file had her pegged as. Maybe someone skilled with modding could get a screenshot of Hantor in SWGEmu. StarsiderSWG (talk) 21:48, August 1, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Cragmoloid review request
Sure. :)  JangFett  (Talk) 13:30, June 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * No problem man.  JangFett  (Talk) 15:31, June 20, 2013 (UTC)

Categories in See also Section
Hello Eyrezer! I wanted to ask you a little question. User:Richterbelmont10 created a See also section with only links to Category pages for the Species article. I reverted his edit because it was put in the wrong place. Moreover, I thought this section only concerned related articles and not categories. Can we also use this section for Category pages? If so, I will add it again myself. Regards.--LennyF (talk) 09:47, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hi Lenny. I think you made the right decision there. --Eyrezer (talk) 09:55, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your help, Eyrezer. I will inform him immediately.--LennyF (talk) 10:04, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

A Request for Another Wiki
Hi! I'm El Alamein, and I'm not from around this Wiki, but I'd like your expertise nonetheless. My Wiki is the Deadliest Fiction Wiki, which creates fights to the death between characters of fiction - and one I plan to host is General Grievous vs. Lord Voldemort of Harry Potter fame. One of the biggest topics of debate concerning this fight is magic vs. lightsabers. Lightsabers have been proven capable of deflecting lasers from blaster rifles and also other lightsabers, so the question is whether or not Grievous could protect himself with his lightsabers from a spell shot from Voldemort's wand. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could shed some light on the mysterious properties that physically make up lightsabers in the Star Wars universe to better assist us in our analysis. Thank you for your time. El Alamein (talk) 21:44, July 12, 2013 (UTC)
 * Sorry I'm not much of an expert on lightsabers. I suggest checking out the lightsaber article and going from there. --Eyrezer (talk) 03:37, July 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Is there another administrator who you could point me to that could help? El Alamein (talk) 01:22, July 27, 2013 (UTC)

Force-Activated lightsaber appearances
Hey, thanks for adding to the appearances section of Force-activated! Just out of curiosity, who from The Crystal Star used this modification?--Richterbelmont10 (talk) 01:27, July 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * Hethrir himself. It became a plot point as people could not use the Force on Crseih Station, so Hethrir was unable to ignite his lightsaber. --Eyrezer (talk) 03:34, July 15, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's awesome! Can you add that to the article?--Richterbelmont10 (talk) 04:26, July 15, 2013 (UTC)
