Sedriss
Where's that information on Sedriss' birthname and Qel-Droma descent come from? Interesting, if true. QuentinGeorge 03:24, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Another information from the Fact File. "Sedriss" is supposed to be some kind of title, like "Darth". He took this name in honor to his new master, Palpatine. There's  not much about his relationship to Qel-Droma, but he is said to be a "direct descendant" of him. --Borsk Fey'lya  Talk 08:53, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Right. Thanks! Interesting tidbits! QuentinGeorge 09:57, 27 July 2007 (UTC)

Pictures
Obviously you do a ton of work uploading images to ensure they are up to standard. Awesome work. I was wondering if you are doing it systematically source by source or by some other pattern? --Eyrezer 00:42, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I would say it depends. After reading a comic or some other source, I usually check all related pages and images to clean them up, if necessary. Sometimes I just use the "random page" button and make a note when I come across an imageless page or an image that needs a new upload. Whenever I find the time, I go through my notes and upload the images. --Borsk Fey'lya  Talk 08:20, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok. Cool. --Eyrezer 08:33, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Wizards
Hey. Just to let you know, we've split Wizards into two. Wizards should now only be used on pages about articles on Wizards.com and WizardsCite should be used on pages about characters, ships, etc that appear in those articles, as it includes an internal link to our own page. Green Tentacle (Talk) 15:45, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, good to know! :) --Borsk Fey'lya  Talk 15:55, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Jesmin
I have no desire to engage in a protracted edit-war with you over this article. Please leave my last revision be. It's my FAN and I'll deal with any objections.--Goodwood 21:48, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't see your problem. I'm only trying to improve the article. Now I'll have to revert your revision, since images in Infoboxes should never be stretched when they're too small. --Borsk Fey'lya  Talk 21:55, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, the resolution I set is the one that is policy, whether it stretches or not. Maybe instead you could upload a better, larger image?--Goodwood 22:01, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I suggest you read this before changing the main image again. I don't have the source available, otherwise I would already have uploaded a better version. --Borsk Fey'lya  Talk 22:11, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Comics appearances
Please stop reducing specific issue appearances to story arc appearances. Policy is for it to be individual issues and I am sick of having to constantly undo your edits. Kuralyov 04:06, 2 September 2007 (UTC)

Rebellion image


Hey, I noticed that you've added a bunch of the images of characters from the Rebellion game. I was wondering if you could upload Pellaeon's image from the game, as it doesn't appear to be on the site. That would be great, thanks. Havac 04:29, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, that's no problem. Here it is. --Borsk Fey'lya  Talk 08:53, 26 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Havac 16:48, 26 September 2007 (UTC)

Missions Cards
I see that you uploaded the Kassihm image. I was just wondering, do you have the Burra Stone and B-1D4 cards as well? If so, would you be able to upload the pictures? Also, on the B-1D4 card, is her name given phonetically, or numerically? Thanks, Thefourdotelipsis 13:41, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I have to disappoint you. Kassihm, 1219 and Udin are the only cards I could find. --Borsk Fey'lya  Talk 13:54, 28 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's OK. Thanks anyway. :) Thefourdotelipsis 14:06, 28 September 2007 (UTC)

Image re-uploads
I noticed you've been uploading a lot of images to replace other, smaller, and often lower quality images. And that's great. But when there is no improvement in quality, and the size of the image you are re-uploading is only 5px wider and 9px higher, there is no reason to upload the new image. Case in point: Image:Chine-kal.jpg. Just thought I should point that out. - JMAS 17:23, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The old Chine-Kal image was a bit too dark and blurry, so I uploaded a better caption. I choose very carefully which images I replace and never do it just for the sake of doing it. If there'll be no improvement in the quality of an image, I won't touch it.--Borsk Fey'lya  Talk 17:44, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Image:GrizzFrix.jpg
I've been perusing ROTJ, and couldn't find this shot anywhere...is it really from the film? It looks more like a promotional shot to me. Thefourdotelipsis 04:12, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * You're right, I took the image from a gallery in Behind the Magic (Description: "A fearless Rebel pilot at the Battle of Endor"), not the actual film.--<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 11:09, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks very much for that. Thefourdotelipsis 03:47, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Koth Melan
I was just wondering...which Fact File "article" covers Koth Melan? I assume it's the same one that retconned the CCG image? Thefourdotelipsis 00:11, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
 * There's no article about Melan, but one page (something about freighting and smuggling or so, I'll look it up) shows the CCG Bothan with the picture description saying it's Melan. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 12:42, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Image request
Hey, Borsk. A small scanning request, if you're up for it: Image:TK-622.JPG. I'd like to see a higher-res version of this, with the word bubble completely cropped out. Ideally, it should be about 250px wide. Thanks in advance. --Imperialles 03:40, 21 October 2007 (UTC)

There are some unsourced images that you uploaded on this page. If you can provide a source for them that would be great. If so, please remove them from the page as well. --Eyrezer 00:42, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll see to it. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 16:08, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Sedriss, again
Hey, no one's been able to find the reference to Sedriss's name/relation to Ulic in the Fact Files. Can you give the issue or the entry it was under? - Lord Hydronium 02:23, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It's on page SED1. I can only give you a quote from the German Fact File (with my own translation), but it would surprise me if the translator made all this stuff up: "Angeführt wurden diese Dunklen Jedi von Sedriss QL, einem direkten Nachfahren des gefallenen Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma. ("These Dark Jedi were led by Sedriss QL, a direct descendant of the fallen Jedi Ulic Qel-Droma.") Ursprünglich geboren als Qaga Lok, hatte Sedriss beim Eintritt in Palpatines Elitetruppe von seinem Namen nur die Initialen behalten und sich zu Ehren seines neuen Meisters in "Sedriss" umbenannt ("Originally born as Qaga Lok, Sedriss only kept the initials of his name when he entered Palpatines elite corps, honoring his new master by taking 'Sedriss' as his new name.") - wie "Darth" ein Titel aus der alten Sprache der Sith.

Rebellion request


I was wondering if you could upload the image of Talon Karrde from Rebellion, as you seem to be one of the few to have it. Thanks. Havac 23:04, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Voilà, here is your image. ;) --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 23:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks. Havac 00:40, 12 November 2007 (UTC)

Last of the Jedi - Japanese Covers
Hello-

I am the art director on the Last of the Jedi series in America, starting with Book 6. I was looking at the Wookieepedia page for it and saw you uploaded cropped images of the japanese cover art. I was curious if you have the full images and where you got them from.

Best Regards, Phil

Another Rebellion request
I was curious if you would be able to grab me the information for Noval Garaint's entry from Rebellion. If you could, it would be appreciated. Thanks. Greyman ( Paratus ) 01:06, 15 November 2007 (UTC)
 * That's all there is: Noval Garaint is a bounty hunter who is never seen outside of his battle armor. He is rumored to be the real power behind Horch, the crime lord of Kheedar. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 10:08, 15 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi! Könntest du mir bitte sagen, wie ich einen Löschantrag für dieses Bild stelle? Ich habe eine neue Version hochgeladen und die alte ist jetzt überflüssig. Janeway 16:09, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

Wampa info help
Hey Borsk, I thought you might be able to help me with some info as I further expand the wampa article. I'm still lacking the details of the wampa's involvement in the comic Star Wars Republic: Rite of Passage. All I have to go with is what is presented in the Aayla Secura article, which is very sparse and lacks details. I saw you worked on that page, so I thought I would ask to see if you had it handy. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:58, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't have access to it right now, but I'll see what I can do. Maybe tomorrow. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 16:17, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

Galaxy of Fear
Hey, Borsk. I saw you made some edits to the Galaxy of Fear: City of the Dead article, including an appearance made by a wampa. Would you be able to tell me what role the wampa plays in the story so that I may add it to its article as it nears FA status? Many thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 16:19, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure. In GoF: CotD, the Shi'ido anthropologist Mammon Hoole and his nephews Zak and Tash are attacked by a horde of zombies in the Crypt of the Ancients on Necropolis. Hoole shape-shifts into different creatures to defend himself. One time he turns into a wampa and tosses the zombies through the room "like feathers". The zombies however still overwhelm him, so Hoole becomes a gundark...and so on. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 16:37, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Anything I should know about the Shi'ido appearance in Galaxy of Fear: Clones? Toprawa and Ralltiir 16:45, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Darth Vader arrives in the Jedi Enclave on Dantooine with two stormtroopers to encounter a clone of himself. While Vader and the clone engage in a duel, Hoole (or his own evil clone) takes the shape of a wampa and knocks one of the stormtroopers out. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 17:41, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, this is what I added to wampa. Is it an accurate description? "In 1 ABY, Darth Vader and a stormtrooper detail arrived at the Jedi Enclave on the planet Dantooine where Vader discovered a clone of himself. While the two engaged in a lightsaber duel, a similar clone of Hoole in the transformed shape of a wampa neutralized one of the stormtroopers." Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:59, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds pretty good. One thing: The two Vaders only used Force powers in the duel as the clone didn't have a functioning lightsaber. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 02:07, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Jedi Chef
Hi Borsk. Do you know if the Tales story Jedi Chef has been canonized or is it still ambigious? I was told you know your Tales info! --Eyrezer 22:50, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, Jedi Chef is of ambiguous canonicity. It doesn't contradict established canon, but hasn't been referenced in other publications either. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 23:02, 20 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks. --Eyrezer 21:10, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Avenger
Hey again, Borsk. I just thought I would randomly see if you knew where some information on the Avenger came from. The Star Destroyer's article describes that it earned a reputation for persistence for pursuing the Millennium Falcon thru the Hoth asteroid field. It seems as though it may be legitimate, but I have yet to find a source for it. Thanks for your help. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:59, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I checked almost all sources available to me, but can't find any reference to this. The information was added in January 2007 by User:R-41. His last contribution was in March 07, so it's highly unlikely you'll get an answer from him. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 10:07, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I saw that he added it a while ago. Thanks for checking. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

Image request
Hey Borsk, could you upload the 4-LOM image from The Essential Guide to Characters? Also, if you have Star Wars Gamer 6 or Underworld, would you be able to re-upload Image:4-LOM U YV.jpg and Image:4-LOM, Zuckuss, Dengar.jpg? Thanks, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 21:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Okay, here is 4-LOM's image from the EGC. I also reuploaded the Gamer-image, it's smaller now, but cleaner. I can't help you with the one from Underworld, though. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 23:47, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Starwars.com links
Don't links to StarWars.com pages count as sources, rather than external links? That's how I've been treating them for quite some time now. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:53, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Do they? I really don't know that, but I tend to put all SW.com pages with BtS content (photo galleries, making-ofs, etc.) into the External links section. In my understanding, the Appearances and Sources sections are only for In-Universe material. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 13:05, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Layout Guide asks for a "Bulleted list of reference books, books from the Wizards of the Coast roleplaying game or the West End Games roleplaying game lines, Databank entries, pages on the WotC website, StarWars.com articles, LucasArts websites, game strategy guides, Insider articles, and any other official non-fiction sources", while the External links section ask for "Links to other unofficial sources" (italics mine.) While it only expressly says that Databank links are sources, I would assume any link to starwars.com would be a source. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 13:27, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. I'll follow the Layout Guide then and put these links to the Sources, although I preferred it the other way. Anyway, thanks for pointing that out! --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 13:42, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Thanks for keeping an eye on all these pages!  (If you strongly prefer it the other way, you could start a CT to change it.  I personally wonder if the "External links" sections should be renamed to "Unofficial sources" or something like that, with official site links staying in the "Sources" list, but I'm not sure the benefits would outweigh the time it would take to change all those pages.) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 14:01, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Felth
Hey, Borsk. I appreciate your tidbit on the C-3PO info from Vis Dic. I'll add it to the BTS. However, I've reverted your edit placing Felth in the Rebellion era. There is no source that includes him in the ABY period - After the Battle of Yavin. For all we know, Felth was shot 10 min after the Docking Bay 94 firefight for insubordination. Additionally, his tale in TMEC only gives a solid date of 6 months during basic training, plus no more than 3 months under Captain Terrik's training. That doesn't exclude an 18 BBY birth. Feel free to argue, though. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:57, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I am under the impression that the Rebellion era does not start until ABY...the moment the DS blows up. But, this is not what Rebellion era says. It includes the entire 0 BBY/0 ABY year. Can you confirm this with something for my own peace of mind? Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:06, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oops, edit conflict. ;) The Rebellion era starts shortly before ANH in 0 BBY with the Battle of Toprawa (see this Blog by Leland Chee), so his appearance in ANH places him in this era. Also, Felth enters the academy with 18 years and spends over 6 months in training before his assigment to Tatooine. I didn't even count in the time with Terrik, but this means he was definitely born before 18.5 BBY (the sixth month of year 19 BBY). Therefore, "c. 19 BBY" is more accurate. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 19:12, 10 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, very good. Thanks for clearing that up, Borsk. I'll go ahead and revert, if you haven't already. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:18, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Andur Sunrider
Hey Borsk. Just letting you know that Andur Sunrider is indirectly mentioned in Junior Jedi Knights: Vader's Fortress. The exact line is, "There is a legend about a Jedi named Nomi Sunrider. She refused to touch a lightsaber for a long time after using one against her husband's murderers." Just advising you why I reverted your removal of that appearance. Greyman ( Paratus ) 19:18, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Wampa
Hey, Borsk. Even though it's only a mention, is there any info worthy of inclusion into Wampa from Prophets? Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:42, 21 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Nothing, really. Luke pulls his lightsaber out of a box by using the Force. This reminds him of the wampa cave, where he hung upside down and had to use the Force to get the saber. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 10:59, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Fact Files
Hi Borsk. I've noticed that you have a number of the Fact Files, albeit in German. Do you have FF11? If so, could you have a look at the article on the Inner Rim and tell me what it has to say on the Stenness Node? --Eyrezer 08:13, 25 February 2008 (UTC)
 * This is what the Fact File has to say about the Stenness Node:
 * The Stenness Node


 * The Stenness Node, three planetary systems in the Inner Rim, whose main industry is mining, is sometimes referred to as Stenness system.


 * This small region in space consists of three star systems, including Ambria. The inhabitants of these systems are members of 25 humanoid species, who are called "Nessies" throughout the rest of the galaxy. The Nessies are inventive people, who live from mining. The mined mutonium is exported in Ithullian ore haulers.
 * Over many generations the Stenness Node had no government. Its remoteness made it possible that many thousand years ago the corrupt Hutt crimelord Great Bogga and the mine owners became all-dominant authorities. Since then the Hutts are interested in this region. Circa 20 years after the battle of Endor, the Stenness Node was under the control of Bolbol the Hutt. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 11:11, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Janson
I saw you added a new source to Wes Janson. Is there any information from that source that you feel should be incorporated into the article? If so, just let me know and I will do my best to make sure it is added. Thanks again for your diligence. Atarumaster88  ( Talk page ) 00:51, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know if any of this useful. At first glance it looks like old information. This is from Wes' entry in the Handbook:
 * In order to fit into the cramped cockpit of and X-wing, most pilots are shorter than average, but there are no such restricting requirements for breadth of shoulders. Wes Janson, a capable flyer and skilled soldier, is the "tough" of Rogue Squadron, a muscled fireplug as effective on the ground as he is behind a stick. Janson backseated Wedge Antilles during the Battle of Hoth, and later flew an X-wing defending Rebel transports during the evacuation of the frozen world. Wes proved his capability as a ground operative when he assisted Kapp Dendo in the sabotage of Imperial razers on Brentaal, and he would later trade in his pilot's helmet and become of the New Republic's most sought-after flight instructors. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 10:41, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

This is basically a repeat of Atarumaster88's request above, but with regard to Platt Okeefe. Just wondering what Galaxywide NewsNets had to say about her... --Eyrezer 10:53, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Reb era sourcebook
Any juicy new details from the Reb era sourcebook for the Hoth asteroid field, Borsk? Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:04, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Maybe, I haven't read the whole article yet. This is from page 87 of the Rebellion Era Sourcebook: A storm of rocks created when two planets collided millions of years ago, the Hoth asteroid belt presents a great hazard to all ships traveling within the system. The erratic orbit of the asteroids make hyperspace travel through the region dangerous and sublight travel practically impossible except for all but the most experienced or foolhardy of pilots. Debris from the asteroid belt regularly rains down upon Hoth in the form of spectacular meteor showers, adding to the dangers on the ice planet itself.
 * The asteroid isn't devoid of life, either. Clouds of mynocks, flying parasites that feed on energy, congregate around the largest asteroids, ingesting the ambient heat of giant space slugs that live deep within the rocks until they can attach themselves to passing vessels. In addition, temporary mining outposts spring up from time to time in the asteroid belt as someone tries to make a profit from the mineral resources floating freely in the area.
 * Legends claim that major pirate strongholds are hidden on and within some of the larger asteroids. One of these bases, the legends say, belonged to the notorous Clabburn, whose ships once attacked travelers traversing the hyperspace paths of the Anoat trade corridor. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 23:33, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Borsk. I can add a few more nuggets from that. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:35, 3 March 2008 (UTC)

Project Wormhead
Borsk, I've noticed that you've been making extensive additions of appearances and sources to Luke Skywalker, so I thought I'd point you in the direction of Project Wormhead, an effort to write a quality Luke Skywalker article. There's a somewhat complete appearance list on the talk page, but we would greatly appreciate it if you would add any appearances or sources that you find missing from the list, assuming you're interested. Cheers. Atarumaster88  ( Talk page ) 04:13, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

The Executor-class in TFU?
Where did you find this piece of information? VT-16 12:39, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Furthermore, there's an image of his dispute with Ree-Yees and a BTS photo of the Yak Face mask. That's all. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 14:53, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Algara II
Hey, I've noticed you've gotten many images out of Star Wars: Rebellion, and was wondering if it had any images of Algara II that you would be able to grab. Thanks! Aqua Unasi 19:08, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, there are no images of this planet in Rebellion. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 20:51, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I thought I would interject, since I pointed Aqua in your direction, Borsk. :) What she is referring to, I must presume, is the planet Algarian, which is currently a redirect to Algara II. The game does include an image for this Algarian (which I must presume is a misspelling of "Algaran"), whether or not it is the same planet. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:17, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry. My bad, I wasn't being very clear there was I? Please excuse my semi-stupid moment. I've lost my Rebellion game (very sad story) so I can't get the image myself, but I believe that Algara II is in fact the same as Algarian from the game. Thank you very much to Toprawa and Ralltiir for noticing my mistake and helping clear that up. =) Aqua Unasi 22:07, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for grabbing that picture, Borsk. ;) Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:59, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Man, he got to thanking you first. No fair. But anyway, thank you for the very beautiful picture. =) Aqua Unasi 23:12, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Appearences (sorting criterion)
Hi. I've been playing KotOR II a little bit recently and the planet Nar Shaddaa came up. I'm not that big of a Star Wars fan so I looked it up. I thought users just added stuff regardless of sorting to that section so I sorted it alphabetically (OpenOffice.org Calc). I was not sure of something so I revisited and I have seen that you reverted it not long ago. What was the reason? Nestea Zen 17:36, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Appearances-lists are to be sorted in chronological order, not alphabetically. Sources-lists are always sorted by publication date. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 17:43, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Myo
Could you tell me what it says about Myo in the Fact Files? Thanks, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 19:33, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The one-eyed Abyssin was an extremely dangerous customer. The love to the desert brought the hard-bitten, violent and fearless fighter to Tatooine. Because of the selfhealing powers of his people, he became a survival expert and joined the Galactic Outdoor Survival School. Everyone who was stupid enough to call him a "Monoc" would soon determine that his own life was in jeopardy.


 * Further down the page is an image of Myo with the following description:
 * Psychotic cyclops: The one-eyed Myo, a two meter tall Abyssin from the planet Byss in the Beshqek system, was short-tempered. Because of his self-healing powers, he could become a dangerous enemy in a fight. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 21:59, 26 March 2008 (UTC)

Fanfiction on Zam Wesell
I came across this: The KYD-21 would later fall into the hands of Boba Fett who awarded it to an unknown individual who killed the bounty hunter Durge. that you posted on Zam Wesell's page. Where does this come from? I removed it until you can prove it.thanks, JediBob 00:44, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Gherant
Hey again, Borsk. I was hoping you could tell me where this information from Gherant comes from. His Dagobah CCG card says nothing of the sort, and I'm wondering maybe if he's in another CCG set not in his source list? "At the time of the Battle of Hoth, Gherant was a deck officer with the rank of commander, and his duties included controlling access to the Executor's computer core, a position for which he had been personally selected by the command ship's captain, Firmus Piett." Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:11, 31 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I believe the person who added this didn't actually take a look at the CCG card, but simply rewrote the CUSWE entry. Most of the information is on the card, but the "computer core"-part appears to originate from the CUSWE. Whoever wrote that entry made the mistake to overinterpret the line on the card. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 09:14, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yup. FWIW, I was able to track down its origins to Sompeetalay's blog, which he got from somewhere else. His response to my question: "Hi! Well this is all Decipher's fault. They added Gherant in their Dagobah set while Gherant was never seen in 'TESB'. He was seen in 'RotJ'. So I thought since the other officers of the Dagobah Expansion were set in 3 ABY, why Gherant shouldn't be. Regarding the computer core, I've checked it and I don't know where I got it. It's on Bob Vitas' site as well so I might have gotten it from there. Since there is just one source of Gherant, it cannot come from somewhere else, I guess. I'm going to change it op Yodapedia. I consider it a mistake. Thanks for clearing this up !" Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:45, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Jonus
Borsk, do you think the "space slug" mention in the Jonus CCG card is solid enough to include it in the source list for Hoth asteroid field? The other cards in the set seem to imply this to be the case, IMO. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Normally, we only add sources to these lists that actually mention the topic. This is not case with this card - the asteroid field is not even indirectly mentioned. But if you include a mention of this space slug incident in the article, you could cite the card as a reference. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 17:25, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Kar Yang
Hi Borsk. I saw you added some info to Yang's page from the Fact Files. Does the Hiitian species get a mention in the FF at all? --Eyrezer 11:58, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

FYI
Just so you know, as I noticed you removed the custom design gallery on the Delta-7 Aethersprite-class light interceptor, it was agreed that stand alone gallery pages were no longer going to remain on Wookieepedia. However, small galleries in articles are not included in the gallery purge. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:29, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Really? Wasn't there also an agreement that images should only be placed in articles to support text? I'm pretty sure I heard this "images support text"-phrase quite often, but at the moment I'm unable to find a Senate Hall topic about this. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 02:06, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying all in-article galleries are justifed to be there. However, the gallery illustrating the many various customized Delta-7's was a valid gallery to leave in the article. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 05:24, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Dice Ibegon
Does Dice Ibegon have a FF entry? If so, would you be able to quote it for me? Many thanks, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 21:40, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yep, Ibegon has a short entry in the Fact File. Here it is: Dice Ibegon, a female member of the Florn Lamproid species, was one of the more bizarre cantina patrons. Muscular, serpentine and with a pink-colored mouth full of fangs, Ibegon was one of the more honorable guests in the shabby cantina, despite her frightening features. She strongly believed in the Rebel Alliance and felt the same passion for Lak Sivrak, whom she met in Chalmun's Cantina. Dice Ibegon's idealism cost her life in the Battle of Hoth. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 02:06, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Ferus Olin year of birth
Hi Borsk, I noticed you changed year when Ferus Olin was born although it's written in Jedi Quest: The Dangerous Games he was 2 years older than Anakin. In Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force is stated Anakin was born on 41 BBY, so it would place birth Ferus Olin date to 43 BBY and not 44 BBY. Also during Episode I Anakin was 9 y.o, so 32+9=41 again. But I see here on wookieepedia we are taking closest round year of Anakin's birth to 42 BBY. It's really confusing for me when I don't know if I should count date of Anakin's birth 42 or 41 BBY. It's also important for setting timeline of the books he appeared and also for other characters his date of birth depend on like Ferus Olin f.e. Can you help me to understand and clarify this? Thank you Jedi Marty 21:03, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * In his Continuity Blog, Leland Chee places Anakin's birth at 41.9 BBY. Since we're counting BBY-dates backwards, this is the 4th month of 42 BBY. Anakin was 9 in TPM, but turned 10 shortly after the events of the movie (still in 32 BBY). So if you want to extrapolate the age of a character or the timeline placements of a book by using the year of Anakin's birth as reference, always use 42 BBY. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 22:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi Borsk. Could you take a screenshot of the map in Star Wars: Rebellion for me? I'm writing up the Atrivis sector and even though SWR is frequently inaccurate, a screenshot of that part of the SWR map would be quite useful. Regards, --Eyrezer 04:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

 * Han Solo mentions the Fuzzums when they're all trapped in the trash compactor and use iron rods and other parts to stop the walls. One of the rods breaks and Solo comments this by saying: "These things are as fragile as Fuzzum-legs." --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 10:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

FF requests
Hey Borsk. Do Zutton, Valarian, or Bom Vimdin have FF entries? If so, could you quote them for me please? Thanks, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 11:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Bom Vimdin has a whole two-page entry. I don't remember reading anything about the other two, but I'll double-check this. You'll get the information as quick as possible. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 11:58, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, I found nothing about Valarian. Vimdin and Zutton both have short entries in the "Cantina Characters"-series:
 * Zutton "Snaggletooth": The Snivvian Zutton, an unsightly bounty hunter, stayed in Mos Eisley with his brother Takeel to investigate for a story he planned to write about Tatooine and the cantina of Mos Eisley. The cantina customers called Zutton "Snaggletooth" because of his prominent teeth.
 * Bom Vimdim [sic]: The Advozsec smuggler Bom Vimdim, a crippled, black-eyed loner, was a frequenter of the cantina. He felt especially comfortable in the multicultural crowd of customers as he detested his own kind for unknown reasons. The sneaky and selfish Bom Vimdim wasn't very popular. His services were mostly used by corrupt and unhonorable officials.
 * As I already said, there's much more about Vimdin in the Fact File (Pages: VIM 1+2). Two pages of information plus an FF-exclusive image. This is however a bit too much for me to translate at the moment. Maybe you could ask a user who owns some of the English Fact Files, for example, to provide you with scans of these pages. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 20:05, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

IG-88C?
Hey Borsk, quick question for you. Why is it IG-88C in the Marvel Comics, Star Wars 71: Return to Stenos and Star Wars 72: Fool's Bounty? It makes more sense to me for that to have been IG-88B, and I don't see any mention of it in the Essential Guides. Is this a mention in the Fact Files? Thanks for the help. Cull Tremayne 06:15, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I think the The New Essential Guide to Characters very much sorts out which units were in which story. IG-88B was destroyed by Fett before the events of the Marvel comics, it's the one we see in TESB on the Executor and in the junk pile on Cloud City. This is shown in Tales of the Bounty Hunters. C and D were the IG-droids in the Marvel-series, I'll give you a quote from TNEGTC: "[IG-88C and D] accepted a number of assignments, including a mission seeking Domina Tagge in the Red Nebula and an attempt to capture Lando Calrissian on Stenos." --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 10:30, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, good catch. So any idea whether this is C or D? Does the NEGtC mention a specific model for those assignments? Cull Tremayne 10:59, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, it doesn't and I'm unaware of any other source that addresses this. That's why I added the comics to the Appearances of both droids. --<font color="blue" face="comic sans ms">Borsk Fey'lya  <font color="black" face="comic sans ms">Talk 12:13, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
