Here's a fresher start!

"Where are you taking them?"
Hello there, how's the beach? If you get a chance, could you give Unidentified OOM command battle droid (Naboo) a pre-nom review? And May the Force be with you as we sit on the cusp of a new year! Corellian PremierAll along the watchtower 19:34, December 31, 2011 (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) 22:32, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

Refresher Reading
Hey, Menk, I think I've asked you about this before, but it was a long while ago. Don't you have Insider 91? Would you mind checking the article for a picture of a Lutrillian? I'm trying to sort out the three Mos Eisley Cantina Lutrillians we have now due to the recent christening of Atheloe and Ownellco when we used to think we only had Solomahal. Thanks for the help! ~ Savage  04:21, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah! I have the hard copy. There's a picture of the cantina bar, and a Lutrillian is peeking out from behind one of the Tonnika Sisters. I wouldn't be able to tell you which one, so I've scanned and e-mailed the page to you. Hopefully you can figure out his identity. Menkooroo 05:14, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks! The ascot makes him Ownellco (too bad Chee didn't reverse those two names so it'd be ascot = Atheloe). Got a new Mac so can't run Behind the Magic to finally finish re-checking all the Lutrillian refs, but hopefully today! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 14:59, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Strike team sources
Fair enough, I see your viewpoint. I just was not sure how to deal with those sorts of sources. I've removed the sources from Brooks too. Hanzo Hasashi 05:44, January 2, 2012 (UTC)

Jeremy Barlow
Hey, Menk, what ever became of our discussion about "The Adventures of Jeremy Barlow" in Star Wars Tales 23? I'm finally getting around to adding that Lamproid appearance to the article, but I wanted to ask how you decided to treat the source. ~ Savage  18:54, January 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ummmmm I dunno. I remember the original discussion got sidetracked by the drunk driving ad, so we never really figured out how to treat the Tales intros. I think that any of the methods we suggested were OK, as long as we all agreed not to create in-universe articles on Dark Horse Comics and such. Menkooroo 19:53, January 3, 2012 (UTC)

Behind the Magic
Hello Menkooroo, I feel like I have asked this before, but do you have Star Wars: Behind the Magic? If so, can you tell me if Vul Tazaene is at all pictured? Hanzo Hasashi 05:59, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Two things
Hello Menkooroo, would you have access to any of the sources s'Too Vees is pictured in that are not already listed for Janse, per Toprawa's objection? Also, if you look at the info I added to Cabbel sourced to the Radio Drama script, can you tell me if the same info can be instead sourced to the drama itself? I would believe no, as you mentioned the RD just skips over that scene. Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 04:42, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. Hanzo Hasashi 05:11, January 5, 2012 (UTC)

Brooks Carlson
Hello Menkooroo, with all the updating that I did to Brooks Carlson courtesy of the stuff proving all the strike team were Hoth veterans, etc., do you think the article is still ideal? Is there anything else I should do to fix up the article? Note that this is not a prenom; I am planning to keep him as a GA because it's under 3000 words, and also I don't think I can deal with another FAN at this time either. Hanzo Hasashi 05:13, January 6, 2012 (UTC)

Conclave on Kessel
Hi there Menkooroo. I notice that you have been reverting the edits I have made about the deaths of the Jedi involved in the Conclave on Kessel. If you had noticed, I put a source by Leland Chee, Keeper of the Holocron, which confrims that this event happened in 18 BBY, and not 19 BBY. So unless you can provide an updated source which confirms this event happened in 19 BBY, the dates will remain at 18 BBY. Ressor 10:44, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, fair enough, I see your point. But, the events in Jedi Purge seem to take place after Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, which is set in 18 BBY. DL:TRODV takes place a few weeks after ROTS, whereas Purge takes place a full one month after ROTS. Vader has difficulties using his suit in the book, whereas in the comic he seems to have gotten a bit used to it. Do you know if there is a way to contact Leland Chee? I apologise for re-reverting all your edits. Ressor 19:44, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * According to our very own Wookieepedia page, Dark Lord is set in 18 BBY, and the date of death given by Chee for Fang Zar is also 18 BBY :P If only we knew how far into 19 BBY were the events of ROTS... If I ever find a way to ask him, I will :) Ressor 21:50, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Article request
Hello again. I noticed that you answered my question on the article request page about the Jedi in the First Battle of Geonosis. Did you manage to get a picture of him? Ressor 20:33, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Kathol Protector commander GAN
Hey Menkooroo; due to some fact checking, I've had to delete the article in question since the actual source does not mention an officer or commander in any context. The nom has been archived in the history. Thanks for the initial review. Just thought I'd give you a heads up on the proceedings. Cheers, Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 21:34, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Ryder Windham
Hi can you ask Ryder Windam on facebook, what suprise Kilindi Matako and her friend Dalen originally had in store for Darth Maul when he returned from the final test in the Wrath of Darth Maul. thnks24.193.145.164 02:33, January 12, 2012 (UTC)

Inqmoot 47
Inqmoot 47 has been scheduled for midnight UTC on 29 January 2012. If you can't make it, please feel free to leave reviewing notes on the meeting page. I hope you had a nice break over New Years! --Eyrezer 22:41, January 13, 2012 (UTC)

It's a jungle out there
Hey Menk. Any chance of a review of Jungle Felucian? --Eyrezer 08:48, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Sei Taria
Hey, Menk, you still looking for info on Sei Taria from the Episode I Insider's Guide? I've been a bit out of it lately, and I just noticed your query on my talk page a while back. Let me know, and I'll see if I can get it running. ~ Savage  20:03, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * That would be amazing! Thank you for the offer. :) Hmmm... I have the Second Edition of A Guide to the Star Wars Universe if you need anything from that! Menkooroo 22:39, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Without further ado: Taria is the subject of a trivia question in the game (these are scattered about on virtually every screen; hers is on Valorum's page): "Identify Chancellor Valorum's administrative aide." Choosing her brings up this blurb: "Sei Taria assisted Valorum by researching and confirming procedural regulations during the complex Senate gatherings. She views Senator Palpatine as a mentor." She also has a glossary entry that is virtually identical to the trivia blurb. Good luck finishing up the article! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 23:11, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Many thanks. I have some hardcore copy-editing to do, but I hope to have her completed before the end of the week! Menkooroo 23:13, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

Night Attack
Hello Menkooroo, can you email me Night Attack? I would actually like to see the verbatim information myself. Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 23:36, January 16, 2012 (UTC)

First duel in Kasla Vein
If that's an order sir, I will do it. :P  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 13:00, January 18, 2012 (UTC)

Senator articles
Hello, I'm an experienced Wookieepedia user, but new to actually editing. I was told to ask you whether it is okay to add 'formerly' in parentheses on the 'republic' part of a defected senator's affiliation. Example, Rogwa Wodrata. It just had 'republic' and 'cis'. In these situations would it be appropriate to add "formerly' on 'republic'? --Lamp774 15:35, January 22, 2012 (UTC)Lamp774

Tsui Choi
About it being crowded, why don't we replace one of the comic pictures with the one from the film? As the films are always bigger than the comics and all that, plus it would stop people asking when/where does he appear in the movie... Ressor 03:34, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll do that. And no worries, I already did it haha ;) Unidentified Human Jedi (C-3PO decapitation) Ressor 11:43, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Heads up
Hey Menk, I don't know if you already know, or how "plugged in" you are with Star Wars on Facebook, but I just wanted to let you know that James Luceno is going to be doing a Q and A on the Star Wars Books facebook page tomorrow at 3pm eastern time. I know you've been working on his article, so here's an opportunity to ask the man himself any questions you may have! Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 22:36, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Redlinks
Ok, I won't. The reason I removed them is because the novel was the only time they have appeared, appeared for a very short time, only a few lines of dialogue, they didn't even have names, and didn't really play important roles. Ressor 20:36, January 24, 2012 (UTC)

Great Municipal Band
Thanks for all the info. Since you were so excited about it yesterday, I'll let you go ahead and pre-nom it if you want. ;) MasterFred (Whatever) 20:20, January 27, 2012 (UTC)

LobwuWa Loba
Hey Menk, have you seen Rogues Gallery: An Audience of Aliens? As far as I was concerned, there was not really anything to update on the article, hence why I removed the update tag. Do you disagree? --Eyrezer 08:45, January 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * I probably won't need a full scan unless it adds any new info that isn't in the aricle. Aside from his presence in the box, of course, which will be added shortly. Thanks for the heads-up! NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 22:00, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Where is the Ballchinian in that picture? NaruHina  Talk Anakinsolo.png 22:35, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Shoaneb
Can and will do. Don't have time to do it tonight, so I'll take care of it tomorrow.  IFYLOFD  ( Floyd's crib ) 04:13, February 14, 2012 (UTC)

Sei Taria
Hey there Menk, a note about your nom for SEi Taria. She has a small note in The Phantom Menace: The Expanded Visual Dictionary, which may or may not be the same as the one in the original VD. It doesn't look like the new guide has been added to the article, so I thought I'd bring it to your attention. Corellian PremierAll along the watchtower 03:51, February 15, 2012 (UTC)

Inqmoot 48
Hey Menkooroo. Please mark your calendar for Inqmoot 48, which will be held on March 4 or 5, depending on your timezone. As always, please leave notes prior to the meeting if you cannot attend. If you don't, this time the newly resurrected Darth Maul will be sent after you. Hope to see you there!  CC7567  (talk) 05:53, February 15, 2012 (UTC)

Wookieepedian of the Month interview
Ok, I have finish this


 * Congratulations on being voted Wookieepedian of the Month! How does it feel?
 * I’m very proud. I wish to thank everyone who voted for me.


 * When and how did you first become a Star Wars fan?
 * I have always vey liked Star Wars but I became a true fan when I began my work on with my mod for Empire at War (Strategic Improvement) some years ago. I needed precise informations about the expanded universe and I quickly discovered that Wookieepedia is the more complete.


 * What is your favorite Star Wars movie, book, comic, and game?
 * I largely prefer the original trilogy and the events of the Galactic Civil War. I’m very septic the Clone Wars period. My favorite books are those written by Michael Stackpole and Timothy Zahn and particularly the famous Thrawn trilogy.


 * What interests you the most about editing Wookieepedia?
 * I prefer working on the events of the Rebellion era. I’m working on Crimson Empire 3 and I am also still working on the Essential Atlas which is pretty uncompleted. I later would like to complete the articles about the old Classic and Marvel Star Wars, and the old WEG RPG.


 * Since English is not your first language, do you find it difficult to participate in the Wookieepedia community?
 * It was very difficult for me at the beginning, particularly to talk with other users, but with the time it became better. Wookieepedia very improved my English! It is almost not a problem for me anymore.


 * What kind of impact would you like to leave on Wookieepedia?
 * I would like Wookieepedia as complete and rigorous as possible, especially since I know the Star Wars authors use it and I saw the SW website link to it. It is a reference!


 * Do you have advice for anyone interested in joining the Wookieepedia community?
 * Don’t hesitate to join us but source your edits!

Thanks, bye Hk 47 14:16, February 19, 2012 (UTC)

WookieeProject ENT
It's official!!! MasterFred (Whatever) 04:21, February 22, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you!
I must say it was a surprise to be selected for this. It's quite an honor :D

Anyways, I sent you an e-mail, and would be happy to answer any questions. StarsiderSWG 17:02, March 5, 2012 (UTC)

Interview
Hey Menk; sorry for the tardy reply - I took a few days off the Wook to save the galaxy from the Reapers. An interview sounds fine; high treason is probably the least of my crimes. Shoot the questions over to my email address (it's linked to my account) and I'll get on them as soon as I can for you :) - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 09:13, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

BTM Ewoks
Hey, Menk. I checked Behind the Magic for the Ewoks cartoon. Check my talk page; I got about three messages within a few hours, so you might have missed my reply to you there. ~ Savage  12:35, March 12, 2012 (UTC)

Trebla infobox
Hey, Menk. Yeah, that cell image of Trebla isn't the best, but it is a lot clearer than anything you're gonna get from a YouTube or other online screengrab. Another option, though, is the Ewoks cartoon DVD. One of the Jinda episodes is featured there, and there should be some fairly decent footage of Trebla. Do you have it? If not, I can take a look and try to find something that's a bit better than either of the other two options. Let me know. ~ Savage  12:54, March 13, 2012 (UTC) OK, this is the best I could do. The episode doesn't have any good closeups of Trebla (spelling confirmed by closed captioning), but these might be better than the YouTube caps or the animation cel. (Remove the images from the gallery once you decide so the non-used ones can get deleted.) Let me know if you need any other images from the episode; I took a few other screen caps that might be useful. The DVD transfer wasn't the best on this title, but it's decent. :) ~ Savage  14:49, March 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey! Yeah, I felt bad about my quick reversion of the image, so I added it to my user page to hang onto it for further consideration. Tales from the Endor Woods, you say? Actually, that would be amazing. That's really nice of you to offer. Thanks for that, and for taking the time to clean up that cel, too. It's really appreciated. Does Tales from The Endor Woods have subtitles? If so, any chance you could confirm the spelling of his name? Thanks again. :) Menkooroo 03:54, March 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Holy crap! I can't thank you enough for this. I just noticed that you uploaded DVD screencaps of the two youtube images I had placed in the bio. Seriously, you are amazing. Check out the article now; you've also provided a great image for the bio's final section. :) Menkooroo 17:08, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, any excuse to postpone schoolwork. Happy to oblige! :) ~ Savage BOB sig.png 17:35, March 18, 2012 (UTC)

Grond
Hi Menkooroo, can you do a source/adaptation check for Grond (Imperial)? His appearances are rather lacking in comparison to other characters from the same scene. Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 20:27, March 14, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Ambria
Hey Menk, just wanted to say thanks for the kind words. :) Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 21:44, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

Problem with Dramatis personae in NJO novels
Hi Menkooroo. I saw you as one of the participants for WP:NJO and thought you will be familiar with this era. I have some question for you. I'm progressing with my readings thru all novels from that era and I noticed, most novels before Destiny's Way have wrongly written titles Jedi Knight in dramatis personae sect. (mainly Jacen, Jaina, and other survivors of Myrkr strike team) before actual knighting ceremony. I realized that while reading Destiny's Way and adding appearances as I go. I'm not sure how that problem should be corrected in each previous novels before Destiny's Way. Should I simply change them to Jedi apprentice and put ref. in notes and references or leave it and put ref. stating "he/she should be Jedi apprentice" ? Or do you have other idea how to solve this pretty complex issue? More, I'm not sure if Anakin, Jacen, Jaina, Lowbacca, Tenel Ka etc. were automaticaly knighted in one of Young Jedi Knights books when they graduated from Jedi academy. I didn't pay attention to that, cause I didn't know it would become problem later in NJO. I also want to do that right according all wookieepedia rules. Thanks for your help.--Jedi Marty 17:02, March 21, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Questions
Hey, Menk. I'm honored you asked, and I'd be happy to oblige. You can ask me the questions in either place, but I'd prefer my email so I can look them over better at my convenience. Cheers.&mdash; Cal Jedi (Personal Comm Channel) 02:32, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Hard on
Yeah man, I've just been busy lately. Probably tonight I can take care of them. Even Krell has been neglected too.  JangFett  (Talk) 14:05, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries, Menk. :P  JangFett  (Talk) 15:58, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Pash Cracken
Heya. Basically Pash Cracken was in the game virtually identical to the way the Tarrin Datch article is written in regards to his inclusion in the game. I can probably fix up the Pash article up today to include his actions in SWG. StarsiderSWG 15:14, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * I do have a picture similar to the Tarrin Datch one. I'll upload it here once I find it. StarsiderSWG 02:33, March 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * That information looks pretty accurate to me! This is the best image I have of Pash from the game. It was taken from the collection window, so it's unfortunately quite small. The game was shut down only months after these ace pilot things were added, so no close-up pictures exist of these pilots as far as I know. PashCracken.jpg StarsiderSWG 14:32, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem! Glad I could help. StarsiderSWG 15:53, March 25, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Questions
Hi, Menk.

I would feel honored to do so and I'm glad to help. I would prefer to be asked the questions on the talk page as my e-Mail programm is not reliable.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 12:39, March 23, 2012 (UTC)


 * 1) A question for those who review my articles. :D No to be honest, I believe the more GAs you write the better you get. As a non-native English speaker it is a little bit more difficult because you have to translate your thoughts into another language. But I believe it is save to say that your writing improves with the time. Many errors are that you do not know such things as context, Point-of-view or some other stuff. And that's gone after some noms. However, it also depends on the sort of the article. If you write 20 character articles and write your first battle article it is something completely different.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 14:25, March 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, I believe it is. Without reviewers no articles would pass. Especially important is the AgriCorps whose members are our elite users who are very experienced in writing and reviewing GAs. You can help a lot by reviewing articles and you'll learn the rules for promoting an article. I'll try to review as many GANs as I could with my long-range aim to be an AC some day.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 14:34, March 26, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's it. Would be nice if you could fix any grammatical mistakes or other errors. Once again, thank you.  Clone Commander Lee  Talk 14:34, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Marja Lang
Thanks for the heads-up Menk; not sure how I missed that. All dealt with now :) - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 10:24, March 28, 2012 (UTC)

RE: DarkStryder
Hey Menk; while I have no objections to you writing up a character on the list, Brannij could be problematic. Brannij is tied into the ending of the campaign and Sarne's downfall, which has multiple options for resolution and I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to address it yet. I don't want to be in the situation where writing up at least two other major articles (Sarne and the Battle of Kathol) would either have to adhere to the existing article, or force a change in the Brannij article to tie in with the sequence of events. Especially since Sarne won't be ready for a long while yet. Of course, keeping the resolution deliberately vague would work, but there may still have to be revision at a later date to tie everything together. Of course, I'm happy to collaborate on the specific sections I have worries about since I have extensive notes tucked away somewhere :) - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 13:55, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * No problems. Depending on what type of character you wish to write up, I could probably make a few suggestions. Generally, though, if a character appears in a specific adventure, they are rarely mentioned outside of it. Only a few have multiple appearances, but they have a tendency to be mentioned in odd places. - Cavalier One FarStar.svg( Squadron channel ) 14:03, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Great job
Thanks! It was a difficult one. lol But we persisted. Just wished I could've finished Duel of the Fates in time. It's now April. Time to start throwing around ideas for the next one. :P MasterFred (Whatever) 05:07, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

New proposal: splitting large articles
Hey, Menk. Since you seem to be successful in proposing new things, like the GAs on the Main Page, I was wondering if I could get your feedback on this proposal. Essentially, we've now reached the point where articles (namely Wedge) are so long that they cause browsers to hang up, so I think it's time to revisit the idea of splitting large articles into multiple pages. Any and all feedback would be appreciated. :) &mdash;MJ&mdash; Jedi Council Chambers Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 01:20 UTC
 * I think you've done a good job of explaining your reasoning for the proposal, and since it seems like the kind of idea that would intrinsically turn some people off, that kind of explanation is essential. I'll admit that my first thought was "Split articles? No way!" But then I read it and thought "Ah, yeah, that makes sense." Copy-editing Wedge on the crappy computer I had at work about a year and a half ago was certainly frustrating. I think the proposal might benefit if you gave an example --- ie, create a few sandbox pages and split Wedge up into them so that people would know exactly what the split article would look like. Does that make sense? As for my recent luck in CTs, I was fortunate enough to have had the Mofference to gauge the community's thoughts first, and then a subsequent SH thread. Do you plan to bring this to the SH before CTing it? I've found that large-scale changes like this usually need multiple feedback forums before they have any chance of succeeding. I say multiple because sometimes a single SH thread isn't enough for people to air all of their grievances. Even if people like the idea, there are usually a lot more details to iron out than you might expect. So, yeah, SH it. Maybe twice. :P Menkooroo 01:51, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the feedback. I definitely intend on creating an example with Wedge and taking it to the SH first; in fact, the proposal in the sandbox is essentially a draft of the initial SH post. I'll think it over for a few days while I work out the example. Again, thanks for the input. :) &mdash;MJ&mdash; Jedi Council Chambers Wednesday, April 4, 2012, 01:57 UTC
 * No problem. Thanks for coming to me. :) I'll be happy to participate in the SH thread, too. Menkooroo 02:04, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Forum:CT:Random Comprehensive article
Hey Menk, I just archived that thread as successful. Feel free to poke me or another admin (probably another one; I'm going on vacation over easter) when you or someone else has created the random CA page so that it can be added to the main page. Cheers, 1358  (Talk)  12:26, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's done. 1358  (Talk)  15:42, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
