Warrior Article
I'm not sure what you're trying to accomplish, but please stop copying the SWTOR wiki's articles. Additionally, there's absolutely no reason for a "Sith Warrior Storyline" article; that's why we have articles on the class characters. Cade   Calrayn  15:00, September 22, 2014 (UTC)

Alright, sorry. I just joined, so, now I know. And just disregard the message I left on your wall. I did not get this one until after I left it.

Image sourcing
Hey. Please be sure to add a description, source, license, and categories to File:Yularen old.png. You can read about how to do that in the image policy. If you have any questions about how to do this, please feel free to let me know. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 00:17, November 13, 2014 (UTC)

I found it on TCW wiki, but I am having a hard time finding the official source.

 * To be honest, this looks fan-made. I've removed it from the page you added it to as a result. Unless a source is added ASAP, an admin will end up deleting the image. As a best practice, you shouldn't ever upload an image unless you know (and have added) the source. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 00:33, November 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * I don't know where that particular crop comes from, but the image isn't fan-made. It comes from the defunct SW.com Encyclopedia (as you can see here. -- Lelal Mekha  Old Republic military symbol.svg(Audience Room) 00:36, November 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks Lelal. I'll source the image. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 00:36, November 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * So, I take it that the image is legit? Darth Ravigious (talk) 00:47, November 13, 2014 (UTC)
 * Yup! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 01:01, November 13, 2014 (UTC)

Unverified info
Thank you for contributing to Wookieepedia! Please note that at least one of your recent additions added unverified information to a mainspace article. Additions to Wookieepedia's articles must be verifiable by a reliable source per our sourcing policy, and unverified information may be reverted or deleted. Continuing to add unverified information may lead to you being blocked from editing by an administrator. Thank you. Trip391 (talk) 03:56, November 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry. I accidentally edited the Legends articles as well. "Tarkin" states that he was director of the organization. I will be sure to cite in the canon articles.

Darth Ravigious (talk) 03:57, November 14, 2014 (UTC)

Harus Ison
Hi there! I noticed your new article on Harus Ison had a couple of formatting issues. When specifying something like Tarkin in appearances, use this to make sure it appears formatted properly: Tarkin.

Also, for first appearance, just use. ProfessorTofty (talk) 18:14, November 14, 2014 (UTC)

Editing
Hello, Ravigious. I've got a few things and tips that you should take into account while editing. Going off of this revision:
 * Every article should have the Eras template, and every canon article (unless they have /Canon in their title) requires . This is needed to categorize the article by its continuity and to display the proper era icons and banners.
 * Entries in Appearances sections should be listed with bullet points, or * in wikitext, and should by and large be italicized (particularly with novels). Similarly, the novel Tarkin should be listed as Tarkin, using a pipelink to hide the parenthetical.
 * Every article needs to have categories. If a person's gender is not specified, use Category:Individuals of unspecified gender, and for species it's Category:Individuals of unspecified species.
 * You've clearly been using the VisualEditor, which is fine for quick fixes, but I'd strongly suggest you use a source editor in order to prevent the major template-formatting errors that VisualEditor leaves behind at the moment. All infoboxes should retain all of their parameters, even if the fields are empty. Thanks. Cade  StupidRepublicEmblem-Traced-TORkit.svg  Calrayn  18:15, November 14, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks Calrayn |Cade. I will be sure to do that in the future.

Helping out
Hi! I saw your message at Brandon ' s wall and I thought I might be able to give you a few tips on helping out. First, if you haven't already, take a few minutes to read over the information in Manual of style, on the pages canon and Star Wars Legends and FAQ. I know it's a lot, but you don't have to read it thoroughly, but try to at least browse through it. Second, another good thing to do would be to have a look around at the articles on the site, try to get yourself familiar with the format and have a look at the code too-- make sure if you haven't already, you turn off that visual editor, which isn't approved here, and get to know the layout. Then, if you have any questions, feel free to ask. ProfessorTofty (talk) 15:34, November 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * P.S.: Regarding your confusion regarding Brandon, Brandon is a member of Wikia's staff who also happens to contribute here. As a member of Wikia's staff, he technically has the capability to delete articles or otherwise take administrative actions, but because he isn't an admin here, he doesn't. You can recognize admins in the activity feed by looking for the names that are bolded and green. You can also find them here. ProfessorTofty (talk) 15:37, November 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much for taking time to tell me this, fellow jedi (sorry, that was pretty darn campy...couldn't help myself there). Yeah, I've since learned my way around a bit better in the last couple of days (joined about a month or so ago, took a break, then came back). I know how to make articles canon and non-canon now, and it is a pretty cool process I think. Yeah, and I hate using the visual editor now. I use the source (although I use the templates through visual editor, but I do not know if that is allowed now, seeing as you said it was not allowed. Again, thanks! Darth Ravigious (talk) 15:41, November 20, 2014 (UTC)
 * The VisualEditor isn't disallowed; you can use it if you want. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 15:50, November 20, 2014 (UTC)

Revan
I saw your note to Cade about how you want to make sure that the Revan article is perfect. That's totally fine. Because it's a candidate for Featured Article, however, it would be best to leave suggestions on the nomination page here. That way, Cade&mdash;as the nominator/primary author&mdash;can respond to them. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 15:54, November 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Alright. Thanks for letting me know. He seems pretty busy, and I do have some suggestions about things that couldimprove the article (of course, we don't know if Revan was legitimately crazy or not, but it may be worth mentioning that he was thought to be a bit mad by Theron/that Sith chick/the Strike Team/Republic strike team, on both the foundry and the TotA, during the raid that came out a couple months ago.

I'll probably also bring up the use of mullet man, as the edition of the pictures seem to be speculations.

You guys have been great here, BTW. Not stodgy like the guys on other wikis I've been on (and I was worried at first, as SW fans tend to be the most hardcore out of any fandom)

Canon article creation
Canon articles are not to be made by copy and pasting content from Legends articles, but simply removing Legends details, links, and sources, or removing the Legends eras and setting the type to Canon. They must be written from scratch. While some information may be shared between Canon and Legends, copying or transferring from Legends is not always accurate, is poor editing practice (plagiarism is never allowed), and is not to be done. Trip391 (talk) 16:34, November 21, 2014 (UTC)

Infoboxes
You have been asked about this before; please make sure that any infoboxes you add have all of their parameters, even if they're empty, such as the one you just added on Outlander Club. ProfessorTofty (talk) 16:53, November 21, 2014 (UTC)

I don't remember that ever being told that before, but will-do!

Also, I will fix the canon redirect. Accidentally got rid of it. Darth Ravigious (talk) 16:56, November 21, 2014 (UTC)

Taris/Canon
Hi. Please be sure to check out the question I posted here. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 15:24, December 3, 2014 (UTC)

Dark Lord of the Sith
I feel like your addition to Dark Lord of the Sith might be wandering a little bit too far into Legends territory&mdash;terms like "Sith empires" (in plural) might be better off in the Legends version. In addition, sentences like "Following the deaths of Vader and Sidious during the Battle of Endor, no one was left to claim the title..." are very speculative and should be avoided. Hope this clears things up. Cheers, 1358  (Talk)  23:14, December 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Although I feel that might still be too little context for a material, especially as we tend to avoid articles covering multiple things on the same page. The Sith article is probably the right place for a mention, but it seems like it's already covered there. Cheers, 1358  (Talk)  11:06, December 29, 2015 (UTC)
 * Ah, fair enough; I was only looking at "The Sith built empires on the backs of their slaves[19]". Feel free to add what you suggested. :) 1358  (Talk)  20:29, December 29, 2015 (UTC)

Reporting vandalism
Hello. When reverting vandalism, please make sure to report the incident on this page and/or notify an administrator on their talk page or on IRC so that we can properly handle the problem. Otherwise, the incident may go unnoticed and the offender will most likely continue. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 17:52, January 21, 2016 (UTC)


 * Alright, will do Toprawa and Ralltiir. I've also noticed more vandalism than usual here. Additionally, are admins the only ones who are allowed to warn other users not to vandalize, as I have seen normal editors do it before as well Darth Ravigious (talk) 18:57, January 21, 2016 (UTC)
 * Anyone is welcome and encouraged to issue warnings to offenders. Regarding this latest incident, in the future, it's best to refrain from engaging in an endless edit war with vandals if they don't stop immediately after a warning. If you need immediate assistance, come onto IRC for live interaction with our admins. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:05, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Malachor
First of all, thanks for contacting me directly to discuss the article! That list has turned into more of a catch all list of worlds that a list of planets, so no, there is no canon evidence that it is a planet. Second, I would like to discuss rolling the article back to its condition before your edits. In my opinion, the page was more concise before you split the first sentence into two. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 00:55, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that could be cool. However, that would probably best be done through IRC, so as to not clog up our talk pages. Also, I believe that the first sentence will read better one we get a proper name for the conflict. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 01:29, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * Unfortunaley, I'm a bit busy tonight? Another time perhaps? -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 01:42, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * Looking at your profile, I can see why you were so interested in this article. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 02:16, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * Yep, I even saw The Siege of Lothal at Celebration. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 05:16, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * I tried playing KOTOR, but could never really get into it. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 05:28, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * I joined after the canon reboot for reasons I can no longer recall. I suppose it's possible I saw the fallout the decision had on the community, and I just wanted to help Wookieepedia survive. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 05:46, January 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * Mostly the early stuff that is incongruent with later publications. It may be better to continue this in IRC at some point. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 06:07, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

Mandalore
Actually, I added the template because that quote refers to the planet Mandalore, not the title. However, the page doesn't need to be deleted outright as the title was canonized in Star Wars: The Clone Wars: The Complete Season Two, which I intend to add information on. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 01:12, January 29, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Peer review
I don't really have the jurisdiction to determine if it's Wiki-appropriate, but I'd be more than happy to look it over! However, I'm a tad skeptical; while a conflict may have been mentioned here or there, I'm not sure it'd be article-worthy (due to a lack of context). Cwedin (talk) 20:45, March 29, 2016 (UTC)

Jedi-Mandalorian Conflict
Hi. I wanted to let you know that I've tagged "Jedi-Mandalorian Conflict" for deletion. Although it's well-written, it's almost entirely based on conjecture and speculation. Most of what you attribute to The Clone Wars was not actually stated in The Clone Wars. For example:


 * "At some point during the latter years of the Old Republic, the Jedi had finally achieved victory from a conflict against the Sith, allying themselves with the galactic government in order to serve as guardians of the peace. It was during this time when the warrior people of Mandalore began an aggressive expansion deeper and deeper into Republic space. In order to combat the Mandalorian warriors, the Jedi Order mobilized its forces in order to protect the slowly collapsing Republic."

That's attributed to "The Mandalore Plot," but that can't actually be found in that episode. All we know from that episode is that the Jedi and the Mandalorians once fought each other. That's not enough to base an article on. The article suggests that what could be a series of events is one event (you called the article "Conflict"&mdash;singular). We just don't know anything at this point beyond "they fought, there were crusaders involved, and there are murals about them." We can't even pinpoint a specific event.

I noticed in the edit history that you were linking it with the Mandalorians Wars as well, based on what the Mandalorian Wars page does. I'm guessing that how the Legends page treats the reference from The Clone Wars may be the source of the issue here. It's likely that, at some point, a Legends source drew a connection and said that what the show was referring to was the Mandalorian Wars. However, none of that is applicable anymore, so we can only go what's based on the show (since no other canon sources talk about this in any further detail), and all we have is a vague reference to historical conflicts.

If you have any questions about this, feel free to let me know. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 12:12, April 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, the new canon is only 2 years old and right now is largely based from Episode III onward. We can't expect to know everything so quickly. I'm sure we'll find out more about the ancient past eventually. In regards to the other articles, if those articles say that then they are incorrect as well. When creating articles in the future, remember that Wookieepedia is not a source. You should be able to independently verify all information you add to a page. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 13:47, April 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * Probably. There's a tendency here sometimes, when it comes to canon pages with limited info but an extensive Legends counterpart, to extrapolate from Legends. Which isn't always the case. Malachor and the Great Scourge of Malachor are good examples. Malachor is very different from Malachor V, and the Great Scourge of Malachor doesn't have a Legends equivalent. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 13:54, April 4, 2016 (UTC)
 * The writers have said on a few occasions that Malachor is based on Malachor V. They're definitely equivalents. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 14:05, April 4, 2016 (UTC)

Rakata Prime nomination
Hi Ravigious! Please don't forget to strike with your objection on the Rakata Prime nomination page, as more than a week has passed since it has been replied to. Also, don't forget to sign your comments with ~. Thanks!  Imperators II (Talk) 08:18, April 23, 2016 (UTC)
 * Sorry. I've been inactive the past week due to preparation for exams. I think I tried signing my comment but it ended up screwing up the page for some reason :PDarth Ravigious (talk) 20:57, April 24, 2016 (UTC)

...
Yep, that's me. I'm not much of a fan but I got caught in the Poe Dameron comic so I thought I could help a little bit.--Uskok (talk) 14:37, May 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * It's good so far. You can check it too.--Uskok (talk) 18:30, May 5, 2016 (UTC)

Outlander
What do you mean that the Outlander is not multiple people? Just asking a question and trying to help if i did anything wrong then i take full responsibility for my actions.

Malgus
If you do not mind, would you like to show me where it was discussed? Probuscis (talk) 05:44, June 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. This was a year ago, as soon as the trailer was released. Boyd said that it may or may not be in the final game. He is not saying that Malgus is dead. For now, all we have to go off of is the clip. It is currently accepted as canon, and will be until stated otherwise. Darth Ravigious (talk) 05:50, June 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks anyways for informing me. P.s. the initial comment might have sounded passive aggressive, I did not mean it to end up that way. Probuscis (talk) 05:56, June 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Nah. Not at all. You're good. Darth Ravigious (talk) 06:05, June 9, 2016 (UTC)

Rakata Prime
Hello Darth Ravigious. You currently have an unstruck objection on Rakata Prime on the CAN page. Could you please take a peek at it when you have a second? Thanks, Supreme Emperor (talk) 02:02, June 29, 2016 (UTC)

RE: Eclipse
I've read both books; the article you created already exist under another name. Thus, I marked it for deletion. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 17:19, July 15, 2016 (UTC)

Inuse template
Hi there! I'm glad you've added a quick summary of the events of Life Debt to the Galactic Empire page that I'm currently working on. The only thing is... well... that I'm currently working on it, and had placed an Inuse template at the top of the page, asking that no edits be made to the page while it is active. While your edit did not in anyway conflict with my current work on the page, (in fact, I had not heard of Pablo's tweet about the remaining Imperial states, so a thank-you for informing me of the fact!) I must point out&mdash;at least as a reminder of policy&mdash;but it is considered rude and disruptive to edit a page with the template active, as it has the possibility of causing edit conflicts. I thank-you for your work on the Star Wars wiki, and hope to see you around the site!

P.S. Can you send me a link to Pablo's tweet? I cannot find it on his Twitter feed. Thanks! - Commander Boots 21:05, July 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your appreciation! Also, I did mention the remnant factions in both the infobox to the Galactic Empire article, along with putting it into the "Legacy" subheading. Putting it into "Signing the Treaty" or any other section would be premature, since we don't know exactly when the Empire ceased to exist and the numerous independent nations that took its place. - Icon Faction Imperial.pngCommander Boots 03:41, July 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm not exactly sure what you mean. I did mention the remnant factions in their own sentence. And where did Brandon say this? - Icon Faction Imperial.pngCommander Boots 03:52, July 18, 2016 (UTC)
 * No worries. It happens to me too. :) - Icon Faction Imperial.pngCommander Boots 03:54, July 18, 2016 (UTC)

Darth Sidious' age
Hello! Just to make things clear, I wanted to point out where Sidious' estimated birth date was derived from. In Tarkin, which takes place 8 years after Episode III, Wilhuff Tarkin is said to be 50, which places his birth 45 years before Episode III (in other words, 64 years before the Battle of Yavin). The book also says that "Sidious had recognized Tarkin, some twenty years his junior, as a fellow colonial." --LelalMekha (talk) 09:07, September 7, 2016 (UTC)
