Amaran
Possible Amaran here? --Eyrezer 08:52, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hmm. It'd say that if there were a bushy tail visible, it'd be a good duck test addition. But without the tail, it could be a Squib, or even a Toki Tolliver-style Bimm. What do you think? ~ Savage BOB sig.png 13:16, November 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Or a Drall? ~ Savage BOB sig.png 03:30, December 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Still looks pretty foxy to me, but you raise good counter-examples. --Eyrezer 07:04, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

Episode I sources
M'um m'aloo, Bob! In preparation for the next barn-burner, I'm looking for sources that include the Gungan High Council or any of its members. I'm planning on asking on the forum, but since you're quite the alien buff and it seems you have several sources, I figured it was a safe bet that you have the Ultimate Alien Anthology, so I thought I'd ask you first. Specifically, I'm looking for information from that, the Star Wars: Episode I Insider's Guide (which I swear I used to have, but it seems to have disappeared), Secrets of Naboo, and the Episode I Adventures, specifically 9, 10, and 11. If you have any of those sources, do you suppose you could let me know where and it what context the council members appear, and what, if any, new information is provided about them? I'd be very appreciative, and I'd be happy to help you with any information you may need from any of my sources. Thank you in advance!&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 22:36, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll be happy to help! I have to ask you to wait a bit; the end of the semester is upon me, and my time for the Wook has been relegated to a few minutes here, a few there. But I'll be able to get back to you relatively soon, I think! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 22:48, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * By all means, take your time, and thank you again.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 22:53, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * From UAA, the sample names are Fassa, Jar Jar, Rugor, Piknab, Carsels, Tarpals, Teers, Toba, Tobler Ceel, and Yoss. Not sure if any of those is a Rep, and it's not a direct mention, but perhaps BTS worthy. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 03:03, December 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Secrets of Naboo does have a bit of information on the Rep Council: "The boss rules out of Otoh Gunga with the aid of the Rep Council. This body has no administrative power, but its members do provide the boss with information and advice about issues under consideration. Naboo sources report that there is a Rep for every important part of Gungan society, and that this individual speaks on behalf of both the citizens and the industries within that particular sphere of influence. The selection process for choosing Reps and their terms of office remain unknown." (p. 44). Then, "Republic Intelligence is still uncertain about the size of the Gungan Rep Council, and progress in characterizing its members remains slow. Thus far, agents have managed to identify only three of the Reps in Nass's Council by name and profession. These are Rep Teers, who is in charge of maintaining the generators that power Otoh Gunga's hydrostatic bubble; Rep Been, a scholar and historian who serves as a legal and religious advisor to the boss; and Rep Slarm, who is widely regarded as the best bubble wort engineer in Otoh Gunga. The Council meets whenever Nass calls it together. Whether it functions as a group, debating issues internally before approaching the boss, or simply as a collection of independent advisors is unknown." (p. 46) This is from an in-universe Republic Intelligence report. The report mentions several times Republic xenosociologists studying the Gungans, so it sounds like they were contributing to the report (p. 46, for example).
 * Then, under "Gamemaster Notes" there's the out-of-universe bit: "Reps come from all walks of Gungan life. Whenever Boss Nass decides that the Council should have a representative from another field, he asks for candidates and then appoints his choice from among them." The stats for a generic Rep indicate that they can be male or female, they wear a long coat that provides some armor protection, they tend to be skilled at diplomacy, information gathering, some profession or craft or academic pursuit, and OK at bluffing, forgery, appraising goods, and swimming. (p. 47) There's also a black-and-white image of Boss Nass sitting with the Reps, two on either side of him (p. 51). ~ Savage BOB sig.png 03:22, December 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll get back to you on the other stuff! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 03:23, December 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for what you've gotten so far! Very helpful!&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 03:33, December 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * OK, sorry -- I don't have Ep I Adventures 9-11, unfortunately. Hopefully you'll be able to track someone down who does! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 21:11, December 12, 2011 (UTC)

Sanbra
Hey Bob,

I hope you can help me out! As far as you know, are the University of Sanbra articles in Star Wars Gamer written as in-universe reports published by the University of Sanbra? Thanks for any help you can give. Also I can't wait to review Troig. It might have to wait a couple of weeks, but damned if I won't. :P Menkooroo 14:29, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, yeah, I'm pretty sure all the Sanbra articles are written by Tem Eliss as a sentientologist during the time of the New Republic. And I look forward to that review! :) ~ Savage BOB sig.png 14:40, November 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ah, perfect. That link just led me to The University of Sanbra Guide to Intelligent Life, too. Looks like I'll have to specify that it was some weird octopus thing who considered Graxol Kelvyyn dishonorable. Thanks for the assist! Menkooroo 05:32, December 1, 2011 (UTC)

Kids?
Hey Bob. This is a pretty big shot in the dark, but you seem to be pretty excellent at digging up really obscure sources... do you know who to talk to if I'm looking for something from Star Wars Kids magazine? Specifically Star Wars Kids 15 (2nd edition) from the second edition runs? If not, no worries. Cheers. Menkooroo 11:38, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yikes, I'm stumped on this one. I checked around, and someone's selling a nearly complete set of the first edition on eBay, but I can't find the second edition of 15 for sale. Sorry, and good luck! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 12:59, December 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for trying. :D As near as I can tell, it's a short feature on Shakka that only namedrops Graxol, but the problem is figuring out what the article is actually called. The hunt continues! Menkooroo 15:55, December 8, 2011 (UTC)

Echrhin Isdan screenshots
Hi Bob,

just wanted to say that I haven't forgotten you. I took the screenshots of Isdan in front of his hut more than a week ago, but totally forgot to mail them to you. Now they are somewhere among thousands of other screenshots that I took during the last two weeks. It might take a few days to find them, but you'll get the screenshots. --Craven 19:07, December 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, no rush. Thanks! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 22:46, December 10, 2011 (UTC)

Re: More Mos Eisley Madness
OK, here are the headshots. And the group shot I put in the "Rogues Gallery" article. Sorry I was unable to edit out the lines from Mosep Binneed's headshot without it looking pretty lousy. I'm tired though, so I'll keep working at it. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 03:22, December 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Awesome, man. Thanks so much. Without the lines would be good for Mosep, but don't make yourself crazy trying to do it! :) ~ Savage BOB sig.png 05:06, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Souvenir
Hooray! I just found Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace: The Official Souvenir Magazine in a box in my basement. You seem like the right guy to share the good news with; I wasn't even sure we had an article on it until I checked your adaptations list. I'll go on a marathon of adding it to sources lists and checking for any new info over the next couple weeks and see about scanning it, too. Menkooroo 18:30, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Looking at Horox Ryyder's edit history, it seems you already have it. Damn! I wanted to be special! :P Menkooroo 19:10, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ha! Glad to see someone else found it, though. :) I stumbled across it in a used bookstore a few months ago. Lots of good BTS info in there. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 19:15, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, on that note, do you have the Insider's Guide? I think it might be the last missing piece of my Sei Taria puzzle. Menkooroo 19:18, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I do, at home. If no one else has it, I can check it for you after Christmas. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 19:39, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * That would be amazing. Thanks so much for the offer, and Merry Christmas. :) Menkooroo 19:47, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Barn-burner
Just wanted to encourage everyone participating in December's barn-burner on Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace to keep up the hard work! Only two articles have been passed, but five are currently nominated, and I suspect numerous projects are underway. The month is over halfway through, so we need to hurry and finish as many articles as we can before the end of the month. Keep writing and keep reviewing! Also, don't forget about the current CT on Databank entries in the "Sources" section, as many articles will have to be updated to meet the new criteria. I thank all of you for taking part in this project and working to make the site better for the release of The Phantom Menace in 3-D in February, and I'm confident the results will be satisfactory. Anyway, just keep...doing what you're doing. :P MasterFred (Whatever) 20:25, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Codex
You're totally correct! For the appearance/source list, I think that if an item is found in the codex only, we should add to the Star Wars: The Old Republic entry on the list. For other items though, we have TORCite. This way, we can specify in the Notes and refs where in the game each item is encountered. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 23:27, December 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Intimidated is putting it lightly. For a while I was making notes and taking down the names and descriptions of each NPC I encountered, but I couldn't do it for long. It's overwhelming. But since you're playing... would you like to join Wookieeproject: The Old Republic. I could certainly use the help! Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 01:06, December 22, 2011 (UTC)

Triffian
Bob! Congrats on another damn fine Species FA. I know that you always have three or four ready to go, so I expect to see something new on the FAN page, stat! :P Happy Holidays! Menkooroo 20:42, December 24, 2011 (UTC)

Strange Allies

 * Well, if we're going to open that particular can of worms, none of the digest novellas has a volume number in the official title. I opted for the path of least resistance, but if you're inclined, the most accurate option is to remove ALL the volume numbers. Godspeed.  DD97 Which bear is best? 15:18, December 30, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, not even admins can move categories. I've deleted them, though, so I'm entrusting you to handle the changes. :P Happy new year to you, too.  CC7567  (talk) 09:04, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem, just make sure you're awake next time. :P  CC7567  (talk) 06:40, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

BB extension
Just letting you know that the barn-burner has been extended through January due to a lack of activity during a busy December and the release of the film still being a month away. You can see discussion here. MasterFred (Whatever) 22:23, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

CA objections
Just as a sidenote, I adressed all your objections on the CAN page. And for the Ambrian cheroot article, I'm totally fine with your changes. Thank you.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 20:56, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Behind the Magic
Hello Bob, it is my understanding you have Star Wars: Behind the Magic? If so, can you tell me if Vul Tazaene is at all pictured in that source? He is a bald guy in Jabba's Palace and on the Khetanna. Also, perhaps also Janse, a gray haired Commando seen at the Rebel briefing on Home One? Thanks in advance. Hanzo Hasashi 06:04, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, Hanzo. I do have the software, but I don't have a computer that can run it at the moment. It requires Windows XP, and I just upgraded to Windows 7, which can't run it. I'll let you know if I figure something out, but in the meantime, you might want to ask someone else. Sorry! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 14:24, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Have you tried using the troubleshoot compatibility feature in Windows 7? :) Cheers, grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 14:43, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Actually, even better. I've got a Mac, and the software seems to run fine under the CrossOver/Wine system. I'll try to check for Vul and Janse later today. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 15:18, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, both these guys are in BTM. Vul gets a little shout-out description, but there's no new info. Janse is just visible in the background of the briefing scenes, with no info at all. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 17:08, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 17:18, January 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi Bob, another request: can you also look for Janse in Star Wars: Chronicles? And, if you have The Complete Star Wars Trilogy Scrapbook, can you look there too? Again, thanks in advance. Hanzo Hasashi 05:07, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * He is in the scrapbook, so all I am asking for now is Chronicles. Hanzo Hasashi 05:30, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey Bob, just a reminder about Chronicles. Hopefully I can get these noms done before my workload truly kicks in. Hanzo Hasashi 21:32, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

NEGTAS for Human
Hey, Bob. I was wondering if you could please stop by my GAN real quick when you get a chance and see if you could take a look at one of GMT's objection. It's about the New Essential Guide to Alien Species, so I was hoping you'd be able to shed some light on it. Thanks.&mdash; Cal Jedi (Personal Comm Channel) 21:58, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Re: This one thanks you for your vigilance.
Thanks, I'll toss in his or her carapace color, but I'm leaving that Gand's article creation to you. :P  Trak Nar  Ramble on 20:27, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Once Qoussk gets Qoussk's article, Qoussk's profession will be added to the GitG section, along with Qoussk's name.  This one is thankful for your vigilance, as this one has asked Culator prior for any Gand sightings.  This one requests more Gands so this one can cram ninety Gand's into this one's tiny apartment, just the same as Zuckuss had done with those Rebels and his TARDIS.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 21:35, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Minimech CE
How is a direct quote from the game "Behind the scenes"? That is what the game tells you when you receive the droid. --Jaro Ramikad 15:36, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Because Wookieepedia is written from an "in-universe" perspective, from the POV of the Star Wars universe and its inhabitants. For that reason, we relegate all information that pertains to the real world to the "Behind the scenes" section of the article. Plus, we tend not to copy directly from sources. We paraphrase information instead, so we don't violate any copyrights. The information you added wasn't bad, it just needs to be paraphrased and slotted into the right section. Depending on how you phrase it, it could be part of the main article, or behind the scenes. Some of it should probably go in each of those sections. Let me know if you have any other questions. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 22:33, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

Two things
Hello SavageBob, does Star Wars: Behind the Magic confirm that the Tyrant was an Imperial I-class Star Destroyer? Also, since I am asking for information anyhow, have you been able to look in Star Wars: Chronicles for Janse? Hanzo Hasashi 20:38, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * This would be in the ESB scene-by-scene feature, in this picture, or one just like it. There are call-outs for all of the Star Destroyers, and I believe it identifies the Tyrant and its designation as a refitted ISD-I. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:42, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
