3D
Hey, I noticed your comment on the forum about the 3D. Note the date; this is just the annual Wookieepedian April Fools joke.-- Doctor Kermit ( Complain. ) 02:56, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

User page info
Hello Darth Needham. I was going to write a nice instructional, but the code wasn't coming out very well. Some advice: go to my userpage (or anyone else's) and click "edit". DO NOT actually edit the page, but if you click edit then you can look at the codes that make the page, and then copy it to yours, tailoring it to however you like it. If you use mine, you'll see that some of the userboxes are defaults, whereas others are customized. Just play around with copies of that code and you should be fine. Let me (or any administrators) know if you need help. I hope that helps! Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith  -Just shy, not antisocial: You can talk to me!- 00:08, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Please stop
Please stop adding pointless and incorrectly placed and formatted links, and removing useful red links from articles. These edits serve no purpose and are actually lowering the general quality of each individual article. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 03:08, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Your second notice to please stop adding unproductive links to articles. I would recommend reading Wookieepedia's Manual of Style section on article linking before attempting to make anymore edits. If you continue to do this, further administrative action may be pursued. Thank you. 03:58, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

Rawwrr!
Hey there! Yeah, you're totally free to tackle Ralrracheen if you want. If you're missing any of the novels, I can help you out; he has a very small role in everything save for Heir to the Empire, in which he plays a sizeable role. I can also get you his Star Wars Encyclopedia entry if you want, and is the guy to ask for Fact File info. Hooray! Menkooroo 01:58, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd say no. His only appearance after the Galactic Federation of Free Alliances is established is at the end of The Unifying Force. I don't think he was ever actually affiliated with the New Republic, either. Menkooroo 17:21, April 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah it looks like you have enough edits to vote. You just need fifty mainspace edits, "mainspace" simply meaning actual articles (as opposed to talk pages, forums, etc). I'm not sure what you mean by "Vector" --- do you mean Hero's Trial or The Unifying Force? But in Tyrant's Test, Ralrracheen is mentioned just one time. Chewbacca is on Kashyyyk guiding Lumpawarrump through his coming-of-age Hrrtayyk ceremony and finds out that Han has been kidnapped by the Duskhan League. He prepares to leave Kashyyyk and go rescue Han. Ralrracheen sends a message to Leia, who is the Chief of State of the New Republic, on Chewbacca's behalf, letting her know that Chewie is going to stage a rescue attempt. Ralracheen doesn't appear in the book; he is only mentioned by Mallatobuck. The exact text is: [Has there been any further news?] [The grids are silent. The misfortune that has befallen our friend is not yet public knowledge. Ralrracheen has sent a message to the Princess on your behalf, but there has been no reply.] The first speaker is Chewie and the second is Malla. I hope that helps. Menkooroo 04:12, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey there. Ralrracheen isn't in Vector Prime, nor is he mentioned in it. Menkooroo 04:21, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ralrracheen appears in just one scene of Hero's Trial, but he has a pretty large role in it. Send me an e-mail at gradualferguson@hotmail.com, and I'll e-mail you the text from that scene. Menkooroo 05:04, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * What I recommend is waiting until after you've written the entire biography before you write "Personality and traits" and "Skills and abilities." Whenever I'm reading through books 'n comics 'n sourcebooks 'n stuff for Biography info, I always make separate notes when I come across something that's good P&t/S&a info. So, if you've written the entire biography, you know that you've collected all possible material for P&t/S&a. I can tell you right now that the biography still has a long way to go, especially in terms of describing and detailing his role in Heir to the Empire and at Chewbacca's funeral in Hero's Trial. Check out some other featured articles to get an idea of the level of detail you should be including. Menkooroo 04:32, April 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I don't really have time to make that kind of contribution to the article. If you want to tackle it yourself, I'd be more than willing to help you edit it afterward. Go for it! Write out a first draft and see how it looks. It'll probably be better than you think. Menkooroo 00:00, May 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not sure of the page number, but the funeral takes place in Chapter two. Very near the beginning of the book; should be easy to find. Menkooroo 01:12, May 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey there! I want to encourage you to keep improving the article yourself. Unfortunately, it's still at the point where any additions I made would be large rewrites and overhauls. Familiarize yourself with Wookieepedia's sourcing policy --- all of the info you put in there needs to be referenced. Check out other featured articles and notice the superscripted numbers in square brackets that end every paragraph. Looking at other featured articles will also give you an idea of the kind of detail that should be in an article. Look at Salporin for a good example of detail given on Leia's trip to Kashyyyk, and look at Lumpawaroo for an example of detail necessary for Chewbacca's funeral. Menkooroo 05:00, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

WP:POINT
Hey Darth Needham. While I understand your stance on the ongoing CT thread, please do not nominate yourself to be an EC member just to prove a point. Nominations like that will not be received well by the community, for they're not nominations; they're just exploitations of the nomination system. I would recommend that you become more familiar with all of Wookieepedia's policies before continuing to contribute. Thank you.  CC7567  (talk) 20:31, April 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * If the length of this discussion is bothering you, please don't let it. The discussion has been going on this long because the community wants to find the best solution possible, and that takes time. Also, please do not shout; caps are interpreted as shouting on the internet, which isn't always taken politely. Thank you.  CC7567  (talk) 21:00, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Disruption
The only reasons you would attempt to nominate Shard as a CA are if you are deliberately violating the rules for the purpose of disrupting the wiki, or you are a complete idiot. Either way, if you do not cease your disruptive behavior, I will block you for the good of the community. Consider this your final warning. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 23:27, May 4, 2011 (UTC)

The Koon
Hey there! It appears that you've simply made a spelling error. You put "TCM" instead of "TCW" in the filename. Fix it and it should work out fine. :) Menkooroo 04:51, May 20, 2011 (UTC)

Got your back
Hi Needham. I just wanted to follow-up on the thread on the Knowledge Bank about Kashyyyk. I've just posted something about NaruHina being unconstructive when you were asking a simple question (I really hate it when people go on tirades about Lucas not respecting the EU, like he did). I also want to thank you for your kind word about my theory on Force abilities (my answer to the question on why Luke couldn't sense Alderaan, but why Jaina/Jacen could sense Carida).

Hiya
If you want to say something to me, then leave me a message on my talk page, please. Karen Traviss did not make "mistakes" and she has admitted this herself. she overwrote continuity to suit her own stories because she saw Star Wars as an "organic" story that would just be bogged down if they followed prior continuity completely. That Star Wars has a lot of continuity focused around main charcaters is not a problem with the universe, it is rather a challenge to the authors to keep them in character and their histories straight. Karpyshyn referring to Vapaad in DB:PoD was a mistake, overwriting Boba Fett's entire psychological history was not. And, even then, whereas Karpyshyn apologized and fixed the error, Traviss insulted the people who pointed out continuity errors in her works. This aggrivated the problem further and eventually her flippancy on the issue created her vehement detractors, the "Talifans" (which, needless to say, just worsened it further still). Note that this argument has absolutely nothing to do with the quality of her actual prose, but is entirly based upon her disrespect for the works of previous authors and her disregarding their contributions for the sake of her own plot. That's an entirely different school of poor writing. NaruHina Talk  17:44, June 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * By "people make mistakes," and your accusations of Lucas Bashing, I thought you were extending our chat into the general authors, so I picked the shining beacon example of what I was talking about. As far as the Han Solo Trilogy alone is concerned, it was written in 1997, so that still wasn't a mistake as sources like KOTOR were published afterward (they actually made the mistake and ran with it :) ). I still don't condone that, but BioWare made plenty of an effort to reference other elements of the universe and keep it cohesive, while authors like KT ignore canon. That's my point. An example of handling the author's role in an EU done very well is Elegos A'Kla. Zahn created the Camaasi species, then Stackpole made this character for I, Jedi. A little while later, Zahn wrote the second book in his series and included this character with the same personality as established by Stackpole. This is what it means to write in a continuity. Anyway, we can agree to disagree on this if you'd like. NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 01:42, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Yo needham
Hey I was just wonderin' do you have Skype or MSN so we can chat over the summer(Take a guess who this is. It ain't to hard to figure out)

Really not sure who this is, it could be joey, charly, Menkooroo, or someone elsa. Darth Needham 19:20, June 3, 2011 (UTC)

Hint, I didn't show up to school yesterday and I talk to you about swtor Geek42

Bengy! Hey glad you made a account! I'll give you my cell number on your talk okay.
