Dating events to 3,653 BBY
Hey Cal! You can date events to 3,653 BBY with the help of The Essential Atlas and the Galactic Timeline. Page 127 of TEA states that the Great Hyperspace War occurred in 5,000 BBY, which is 1,347 BTC on the Timeline (Timeline 12: The Great Hyperspace War). You can then calculate that the difference between BTC/ATC and BBY/ABY dates is 3,653 years. Timeline 1: Treaty of Coruscant shows that the Sacking of Coruscant occurred in 0 ATC, which can be converted to 3,653 BBY. All of these calculations have to be carefully explained in the date reference, though. Hope this helps.  Imperators II (Talk) 20:56, July 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * You know, after some more research, I guess you can just date the skirmish to 3,653 BBY by saying that p. 134 of TEA dates the end of the Great Galactic War to 3,653 BBY.  Imperators II (Talk) 10:08, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Malgus's personal shuttle
Okay, so in The Third Lesson, this is the shuttle that flies to the surface of Alderaan to pick up Darth Malgus after his forces are defeated in the forests outside of the capital city and he is heavily wounded by Satele Shan, as seen in Hope. It flies to join up with the rest of the Imperial forces in retreat, but while it is crossing over a ruined Alderaanian city, Malgus sensed a Jedi below and ordered his pilot to turn around and lower the ship. Malgus overrode the safeties on the landing ramp to make it descend while in-flight, then jumped from the shuttle onto the city streets. His ship hovered above the ruins until he finished his fight. That's really all of the information from the story&mdash;sorry it took so long to provide. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 17:25, July 20, 2011 (UTC)

WP:SWE
Good day Cal,

Would you consider becoming a member of WP:SWE? We would greatly appreciate your zeal :) Give it some thought, thanks.  —Tommy  9281  Wednesday, July 20, 2011, 17:54 UTC 
 * No worries there. You may notice that many of the participants are also otherwise occupied, and find less time to contribute (myself included), but maintain membership nonetheless. That said, you can still join, even if you have preceding obligations. Just a thought, I do hope that you'll one day reconsider.  —Tommy  9281  Thursday, July 21, 2011, 00:19 UTC 
 * See here and here.  —Tommy  9281  Thursday, July 28, 2011, 23:12 UTC 

Thanks
Ok, thanks for letting me know. There was present and past tense in the articles so I just tried to keep it uniform. I'll make sure to use past tense from now on.

Rescue of Rahm Kota
Hey Cal Jedi, no worries. :) Ended up having some extra time this afternoon, so here we go:
 * First, a few generic rules to remember:
 * For quotes, the dialogue format should only be used when there are more than two speakers. Otherwise, the quote template is still used. (More info)
 * Done.
 * Image captions should only be punctuated if they are full sentences. If they're incomplete sentences, no punctuation should be added.
 * Done.
 * Just a note that the third, fourth, and sixth images in the main body are all actually complete sentences, so they should be punctuated.
 * In conjecturally titled articles, do not bold the article's name, because that name is by definition unofficial. Instead of saying "The Rescue of Rahm Kota was a mission to rescue the Rebel General Rahm Kota&hellip;" say something like: "In 1 BBY, a rescue mission to free the Rebel General Rahm Kota&hellip;"
 * Done.
 * Remember to avoid all POV wording such as "ravenous," "bloodthirsty," "obssessive," "notorious," calling Kota a "wild card," "unusual," "got the better of him," etc.
 * I think I got them all.


 * Next, things particularly in this article:
 * In the infobox, you list Starkiller traveling to Dagobah as a result of this rescue, but that's kind of confusing unless you can tie it together by saying why he's going to Dagobah&mdash;is it a mission of some sort? etc.
 * Fixed.
 * "However, the cloning process was imperfect and resulted in numerous failures, including Starkiller&mdash;the renegade clone who became known by his genetic donor's codename." This makes it sound like Starkiller went on to get a different codename, especially since you haven't yet said that Starkiller was Marek's codename.
 * OK.
 * "Starkiller traveled to Cato Neimoidia in order to rescue the captured Jedi General." The problem with this statement is that up until now, you haven't identified Kota as a Jedi General&mdash;only as a general of the Rebellion&mdash;so for all the reader knows, you could be talking about someone else.
 * OK.
 * What do you mean by "misunderstanding"? And why did you put it in quotation marks? Is it a quote from the book/game?
 * Fixed.
 * In the intro you make it sound like Rogue Shadow was always autopiloted.
 * Fixed.
 * The Main template is unnecessary in the prelude and aftermath.
 * OK.
 * The use of the phrase "In short" in the prelude makes it sound like it was unnecessary for you to say everything you just said, and also seems almost OOU-like in nature.
 * Fixed.
 * "Rebellion General Rahm Kota had been a notorious wild card, acting without authorization and performing unusual military raids against the Galactic Empire. In short, he continued acting as though he were managing his own militia, rather than being part of a larger organization." Sorry, looks like in my copy-pasting I forgot to actually mention the problem with this. You got most of the issues while fixing other objections (POV wording and "in short"), but one that remains is awkward grammar.
 * See if that works.
 * "placed Kota in the Tarko-se Arena, the local gladiatorial arena, to execute him. However, Kota managed to stay alive for several days." This wording is much too similar to the intro's wording.
 * Try that.
 * "His current clone of Starkiller was only the latest in a long line." This is a bit redundant and sounds more like you're trying to tell us a story instead of writing for an encyclopedia.
 * OK.
 * "&hellip;stating that he would go to execute the Jedi General at the conclusion of his training." "He" who? This "he" could technically refer to either Vader or Starkiller. Also, the same issue with Jedi General here as in the intro.
 * Fixed. Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 22:39, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * More to come as soon as I can. Let me know if you have any further questions. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 21:33, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd say you're fine with calling it part of the Galactic Civil War; it was in general Rebels vs. Empire, so that works for me. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 05:34, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * The more that will keep on coming as I continue to have bits of time here and there:
 * "&hellip;stating that the clone would go to execute the Jedi General Kota at the conclusion of his training." This sounds like Vader was just telling some OOU source what the clone "would go on" to do, as opposed to directly ordering Starkiller to do something.
 * Try that.
 * One more thing to remember: I'd suggest that you periodically go through your article to look for grammar mistakes, typos, and the like; it's easy to let some slip here and there, and occasional mistakes can range anywhere from minor things that few people will notice to something major that can completely change the meaning of what you were intending to say. It happens to the best of us, so checking for such things as often as possible is a good habit to learn. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 05:34, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * OK. Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 14:52, July 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would say no to adding that template; it only contains the major campaigns throughout the war, and the rescue of Rahm Kota was far from a large, coordinated Rebellion or Imperial effort. Also, sorry I haven't been able to get back to this the past few days. RL's been pretty hectic for me. I'd suggest that you go ahead and nominate the article whenever you like; I'll continue my review on the nomination page itself, and there's really no point in further holding the nomination up.

Re: CAN archiving
Honestly, I have no idea. Lemme see if I can find an Inq or AC member and ask them...

Culator says that he doesn't see why not. So, if you archive it and someone says otherwise, tell 'em you got Culator's okay. ;)  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:06, July 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * I archived Wuuden Malnic and Nebula (hotel). +2 CAs for you!-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  03:39, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

RE New CANs
Yeah maybe in a couple of years or so we can get to where he is now. We can only hope he doesn't double his CAs by then.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  15:53, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Signature
Hi, per our signature policy the images in the sig are allowed to be 20px high at max, but currently your signature have taller image. I would kindly ask you to shrink it down to fit into our policies. (: –Tm_T (Talk) 09:56, July 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Heh, actually your signature image is 10px wide, but 23px high. If you set it to be 8px wide, it should end up being 18-19px tall. (: –Tm_T (Talk) 19:21, July 29, 2011 (UTC)

Apologies.
Apologies for the change, the information just looked un-needed and I thought it was written as a joke, which I tried to clear.

This does not seem relevant
This seems more like an opinion and seems relatively unnecessary to mention.

"Siner may have been chosen for his proven ability to give an essentially villainous stereotype a humane, and even at times humorous rapport with the player"

This line is of a mixed opion and posibility, and therefore, shouldn't have a place on the page. But that's my opinion. If you can tell me why it is, I shall leave it alone. It just looks very made-up, if you understand me. Doesn't seem like somebody you would put on an article.

The article is full of speculation with very little fact. Get rid of the 'posibilites' and you basically have "a character who advises the player on Star Wars: TIE Fighter". So many unnessacary points are made, things that look like they've been thought of from the top of somebody's head to desperately try to create an article. Seeing as you are an Admin, and I am a registered user (basically nothing), I request you delete the speculation in the page, or delete the article all together, as there seems little point of it even being on the Wookieepedia, similar to the article 'Wookiee Smuggler's" which was deleted some time ago.

Appeal
Please accept/decline my opinion that the unnecessary parts of the 'Imperial Briefing Officer' should be deleted as they are pure speculation. Other unnecessary parts of the article are the mention of the similarity to 'The Emipire Strike's Back' archetype Imperials and Guy Siner's work in 'Alo Alo'.

Apologies
Forgive me, I did not recieve your last talk message until I sent my last. My apologies if I seemed rude.

Sorry, my computer keeps logging me out everytime I try to send a message. What I wanted to say was that I failed to understand what you meant by 'cleaning up' the article. Do you mean rephrasing? Because I will admit, it's badly worded, and most of it is irrellevent (forgive any spelling mistakes, my left hand got caught in a car compactor)

Re: CC-01/425
I apologize Cal, but I'm a bit too busy with the barn-burner and my AC duties to do a pre-nom. Perhaps next time though. Once again, I'm sorry. Kilson ( Let's have a chat ) 22:40, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I'll have to decline as well. Usually I don't perform pre-nomination reviews; I prefer to review articles when they're on the nominations page. Also, August is usually one of the busiest months of the year for me. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 15:00, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

CT voting
Hi, wanted to point out that you have currently voted twice in Forum:CT:"Owners" field of the Weapon infobox, so please strike over one of them. (: –Tm_T (Talk) 05:28, August 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re: What's up?
I'm sorry but I do not have the Prima guide for Republic Commando. It is always difficult for me to find someone who has one of the game guides, but you can probably find someone with it. Good luck in your search, and when you put the article on the FAN page, give me a message and I will review it for you.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  02:45, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Sigh...
I am really tired about GMT's strict rules around here, are you...This message is send to you by "Sky" Oya!
 * I'm answering here, since you're blocked. It's a shame that you were blocked, but you have to follow the rules. The admins sometimes seem like they just love to torture new users, but for the most part they're just trying to get you into the swing of things while protecting the Wook. So, I hope to see you back editing soon, but following the rules. :P Oya! Cal Jedi Infinite Empire.svg (Personal Comm Channel) 20:27, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Username and talk page
Yeah, I know of the name-changing feature. If I change it, I'll change it to MasterFred. I just need to rid myself of enough laziness to get it done. :P And I'm afraid I don't see what you're talking about on my talk page. MasterFred (Whatever) 20:25, August 9, 2011 (UTC)

We're halfway there
So guys, we're nearing the halfway point with this barn-burner. I just want to send out a broad message thanking everyone who has and plans on participating in Wookieepedia's second barn-burner, and update you guys on how it's going so far. So far, we have promoted nine Comprehensive Articles, twelve Good Articles, and one Featured Article! Fantastic job everyone who wrote and reviewed those weapons articles, I couldn't have asked for a better group to do so. We also have a number of current Good and Featured Article Nominations currently up, which you can see here.

However, as we approach the halfway point, I do want to encourage you all to keep writing and reviewing weapon articles for the barn-burner. Our goal should be to meet or surpass the level set by the previous barn-burner, which had over forty promoted articles. While we should aim to pass as many articles as possible by the end of the month, I may extend the barn-burner a little into September for any stragglers, especially for those Users who are writing extremely long Featured Articles for the project.

I should also notify participants of a recent Consensus Track over weapons that is about to pass. The CT is over when we should fill in the "Owners" field for Template:Weapon. Right now, it seems as if we are leaning towards filling in the field for unique weapon types, and not filling in the field for general weapon types. As such, we should fix any weapons we have, or will, write for the barn-burner to fit these new parameters. Thanks you for reading this, and keep up the good work. Kilson ( Let's have a chat ) 09:39, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

South ridge pre-nom
Hello there, I saw you had done a review of Battle of the south ridge. Would you say its ready to go on the GAN page? Corellian PremierAll along the watchtower 19:05, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * 1) Yeah, i'm ready to nominate the article. Corellian PremierRobotech.jpg along the watchtower 19:20, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
