''' Don't ask to ask; just ask your question. '''

'''To keep the conversation together in one place, if you leave a message here, I will reply here. Likewise, if I leave a message on your talk page, please reply there; I watchlist all talk pages that I edit.'''

If you are here to request information from The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, please post your request on the Forum:Entry requests page, not here.

'''Please do not use repeat or non-descriptive headings like "Request", as these headings make the table of contents difficult to navigate, and duplicate headers complicate section linking in the event I need to link a discussion from this page elsewhere. Thank you.'''

 Copy-edit requests: 
 * If you are requesting a copy-edit, start a new section for each request. Please do not place new requests under old headings. Multiple articles should not be placed under a single heading unless they are requested simultaneously.
 * If you want a pre-nom review or word count with the copy-edit, please explicitly say so in the request, otherwise I will perform a copy-edit only. Keep in mind that I am not a member of any reviewing panel and rarely conduct reviews, so my review might not be as thorough as what you would get from an Inquisitor or AgriCorps member. Adding a pre-nom review to your request may lengthen the response time.
 * Effective immediately, I will post pre-nom reviews, including a statement that I have no objections (if that is the case). on the article talk page, not on this page. This way the review is easier for others to find and look at, and it eliminates the need for you to sort through irrelevant messages on this page. Outside of the nomination pages, discussion on improving an article technically belongs on the article talk page anyway. Replies to a request for copy-edit only will still come here.
 * Unless I have a Vacation notice above, I will try to perform the copy-edit within 48 hours (72 hours if a review is requested also). If I need more time, I will let you know under the request as soon as possible.
 * Although there are no limits (minimum or maximum) on the length of articles I will accept, keep in mind that shorter articles will generally receive quicker responses than longer articles. Extremely long articles (approx. 75 KB or larger) may be done over multiple days.
 * If you leave an Inuse tag on the article, I will interpret your request as implicit permission to edit through said tag. If you don't want me to do this, please say so. I will use my own Inuse tag if I expect to spend more than 10–15 minutes on the article.'''

Sky trooper vs. Sky Trooper
I just wanted to point out the reason for my choice of spelling/capitalization as far as the term "Sky Trooper" goes. It may not completely fit with the naming convention of other troopers, but I based it on the packaging for the toy set seen here at EndorExpress.net. I figure it's really the only official spelling, since every other use of the term has been from out-of-universe sources. --JMM (talk) 12:55, October 16, 2013 (UTC)


 * I don't know anything about the situation. I was just carrying out a move requested by that seemed reasonable. If you believe the move was in error, it would be best for you to discuss it with JMAS, as he would have more knowledge about this than I do. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Comlink 23:22, October 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * AAT driver battle droid is also capitalized on the toy packaging, because Hasbro capitalized all names on its products. But per naming convention, the trooper should not be capitalized, just as we didn't for the AAT drive battle droid page. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 23:27, October 16, 2013 (UTC)
 * OK, sounds like a good explanation to me. --JMM (talk) 01:38, October 17, 2013 (UTC)

Insiders
Hey, MJ. I see you've got Insiders 84, 91, and 113. Is Knights of the Old Republic mentioned in those at all? Probably in the Blaster/Jawa's Corner sections. Thanks, Cade    Calrayn  23:15, October 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Which KotOR? The game or the comics? Or both? (Message left with bot account to trigger orange bar of doom as a reminder to check this tomorrow, since I'm going to bed right now.)  Advanced Jedi Training Droid 6  ( Talk to my master ) 04:09, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * 84: Nothing on either the comics or the games.
 * 91: has an entire page devoted to the then-upcoming Days/Knights cycle (issues 13 to 24), which also briefly mentions the games.
 * 113: lists the "Bombardment of Taris" as #2 and the Padawan Massacre as #3. Also, the comics column in  devotes an entire page to the then-upcoming Demon story arc.
 * That's all I see. The two columns in 91 and 113 are too large for me to type up here, but if push comes to shove, I can dig out my scanner and email you a scanned copy of them. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Council Chambers 17:23, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

Contributor asking a question
Hi Master Jonathan, I was wondering if I would like to ask you a question.--63.92.231.217 18:14, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * I have no way of knowing if you would like to ask me a question. That's a decision that you must make. ;) &mdash;MJ&mdash; Training Room 18:16, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh, I'm really sorry!--63.92.231.217 18:19, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * It's just, I wanted to ask you about the "In other languages" which I found in the very bottom of Gregar Typho. I'm just curious!--63.92.231.217 18:23, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * You'll find that on many pages. There are multiple versions of Wookieepedia in various languages (most with different names, but still the same scope). When a particular subject has articles in multiple language, we place that box at the bottom of the page to provide links to the versions in other languages. The gold star that you see next to the German version on Gregar Typho means that the German article is a Featured Article (or equivalent status) based on the rules of the German wiki. Does that answer your question? &mdash;MJ&mdash; Council Chambers 18:31, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, in fact there's one page which I edited that I might need a language version. It's Carlon Brandes. I hoping if its alright or not that you can check the page after I added the link. If its appropriate!--63.92.231.217 18:35, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yep, that looks good! Thanks! &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Training Room</b> 18:45, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thank you Master Jonathan. Also, there might be a little more--63.92.231.217 18:47, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Feel free to add language links to any page that you see that needs them, and don't worry about getting each one checked/approved. If it didn't break things, then it should be good, and if it did break things, then either figure out what you did wrong and fix it, or ask for help. :) &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Council Chambers</b> 18:52, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Of course, is there any person, like yourself, in this site that might help, incase if I'm stuck with something?--63.92.231.217 18:55, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm always willing to help, though I'm busy reviewing an article right now so in-depth debugging would need to wait. Alternatively, posting in the Senate Hall forum will usually get the quickest response, as that is patrolled by many members of the community. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Council Chambers</b> 19:00, October 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks! May the Force be with you Master Jonathan.--63.92.231.217 19:04, October 26, 2013 (UTC)

Kylaena Hayley = Kylaena Haley
Hey Master Jonathan. I just noticed the article Kylaena Hayley. I believe whoever gave her that last name on the article wrote it as a typo. The game's directory files and several online player made guides give her last name as Haley. Would it be possible to move the article to Kylaena Haley? It seems only an administrator can do this. Thanks! StarsiderSWG (talk) 23:02, October 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Done. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Jedi Council Chambers</b> 04:05, October 28, 2013 (UTC)

Byzantinefire
Well he hurts my feelings alot on the IRC am i supposed to just take constantly take that from him? Byzantinefire 01:44, November 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * If you have an issue with another user, then you need to discuss it with them, or with an admin if that fails, in a civil manner. Resorting to personal attacks is never, ever acceptable. As for the specific issues involved here, I am rarely on IRC and thus don't know what's going on. I would suggest discussing the matter with an admin who is on IRC regularly. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Jedi Council Chambers</b> 01:48, November 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * I plan to with Toprawa. Byzantinefire 01:49, November 1, 2013 (UTC)

WOTM
Hi Master Jonathan! 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) 15:50, November 1, 2013 (UTC)

Dat Mouse
Hello Master Jonathan. :-) I was wondering if you could give Mickey Mouse a pre-nom review on its talk page. I guess there's a lot of fluff as usual, but I'd let you judge it in person. ;-) --LelalMekha (talk) 22:40, November 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll look at it closely within the next few days. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Jedi Council Chambers</b> 18:45, November 2, 2013 (UTC)

User asking for assistance
Hello Master Jonathan. I was wondering if you could help me with something.--63.92.231.217 17:58, November 2, 2013 (UTC)

Death Stars and diameters
Hello my friend! Although we'll see whether Leland Chee will answer your tweet, I think there really is nothing to argue about. Ryder is a true research hound who knows his stuff and usually does some reversions and retcons on purpose. I'm afraid this is just the old saxtonite vs. nonsaxtonite battle. There is no arguing over it. Since when are we doubting print sources? Sources are to be regarded as correct until an error is noted, not the other way around. I can show you the exact quotes from the book, aside from the comparison chart: By the way, believe me when I say I don't like those "new"/old figures, for I am a saxtonite myself. --LelalMekha (talk) 21:42, November 8, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) About DS 1: page 23: "Diameter: 120km (74.6 miles)"
 * 2) About DS 2: page 112 in text: "[DS 2 is] over twice the volume of the original at 160km in diameter." Page 113, stats for the DS2: "Diameter: 160km (99.4miles)"


 * I have a sickening feeling that you're right and it's going to end up as a retcon, but when a change is this surprising, I want to do due diligence and make sure before we start changing things around. It's easier to change it once after checking and be done with it than it is to change it immediately, do other stuff to the page, and then have to change it back a month later when the undo button no longer works on the original edit. (P.S. What do you mean by "saxtonite"? I have to confess that I've never heard that term before.) <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">War Room</b> 21:49, November 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Curtis Saxton's article should answer your question. ;-) Saxton was the man behind the 900 km figure for DS II, among other things. The guy holds a doctorate in astrophysics, so he would always used real-life physics and calculations for his Star Wars stuff, which made him quite popular with some fans, and quite unpopular with others. --LelalMekha (talk) 21:53, November 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * Ah, OK. Thanks for the explanation. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">War Room</b> 21:56, November 8, 2013 (UTC)

Race course
Hey Jonathan, I checked the course articles and they have the information, so I really couldn't merge any new information from race course. It seems that the original creator took information from the various course articles and inserted the info in race course.  JangFett  (Talk) 17:02, November 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * OK, that's fine. Just as long as the information is there. Thanks. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Training Room</b> 17:27, November 9, 2013 (UTC)

Anakin's lightsabers
Why did you undo my edits on those pages? I just rewatched the first Clone Wars series about a week ago and to be sure I just looked at the DVD box to volume 2 and his lightsaber in that series clearly resembles his second one, not the first. The article on his first lightsaber indicates that he used his first lightsaber in the Clone Wars tv show which he did not do. You mentioned reading somewhere though that he recovered and repaired his first lightsaber? I have not heard that before but it may have happened if it is stated in an official source, but by the start of the first Clone Wars show he switched to his second weapon long before he was knighted. GreenDragonRanger (talk) 18:39, November 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * I just received your message. My source for my edits was the first Clone Wars TV show.  Surely that qualifies as verified information.  GreenDragonRanger (talk) 18:45, November 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Good news; I finally figured out how to add references in (I don't use wikis as often as I used to so I keep forgetting how to properly format sources) so if it's okay I am re-adding my edits with the proper sources. GreenDragonRanger (talk) 18:57, November 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * That's fine now that we have a source. The main reason for reverting that edit was because the edit and your edit summary seemed to contradict each other. Since you called it a typo in a subsequent edit summary, that clears things up. As for the edits on the article for the second lightsaber, you're in for a major headache if you are trying to interpret the Clone Wars timeline, because the newer Star Wars: The Clone Wars series tossed the old timeline into a blender and set it to LIQUEFY. :P Seriously, until we get an official, comprehensive Clone Wars timeline from Lucasfilm, it's difficult to assume where CW material takes place relative to TCW material. I've don't know much about that arena, so I'll let the new sourced edits stand, but they might be wrong. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Training Room</b> 20:06, November 9, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks. As I did some more reading I realized how much the new Clone Wars TV show screwed up establishing a timeline.  When I watched both shows I personally came to the conclusion that the new show takes place during a gap of Chapter 22 that starts when Anakin meets Padme and shows her his new scar and picks up with Anakin and Obi-wan breaking up a siege prior to traveling to Nelvan.  Now how does other Clones Wars material (comics, novels, etc.) fit in I have no idea.  Once an official timeline that clarifies all of this is published it may help clarify things.  Thanks.

Limeren
Hi Master Jonathan, its me. Sorry I didn't respond to you. I'm not on wookieepedia so much. If you get this message, I need to ask you about the Limeren page. In the picture, Limeren looks like a Mon Calamari. Is it possible that he is? Just need to be 100% sure.--63.92.231.217 22:07, November 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * The fact that the article says that he was "surgically-altered to give him the appearance of a Mon Calamari" probably means he was not actually a Mon Cal...68.38.185.10 04:22, November 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Possible, though I'm not sure as that is not my area of expertise. I suggest asking, who is one of our resident experts on sentient species. He would be better able to answer this question. <b style="color:navy; text-decoration:underline; font-family:serif;">&mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> <b style="color:red; font-variant:small-caps;">Council Chambers</b> 00:08, November 10, 2013 (UTC)
