Inquiry
I believe you are an admin, so I feel it is proper to report vandalism to you, that I have attempted to clean up, on this page: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Unidentified_Rebel_navigator

I apologize for vulgar language, but the original article ended with the words 'and sucks dicks for a living.' While I was actively cleaning this up, it was edited again and the words 'He was fucked over by the government like most war veterans, and has to suck dicks for a living.' I would recommend this article be protected.

Hey Trak I want to know why you have deleted Austan Prime!?

Alright, this book is canon, the moves are real and anyone with common sense, can gauge the mechanics of those moves, so those articles are most certainly not fanon. Ask Toprawa and ralltiir or another higher powerDonmax 03:52, October 22, 2011 (UTC)

Response
Okay fine, but sly moores fear-inducing stare would make one afraid. any moron could infere that. Dooku's fencing thrust-self explanatory. High kick-self explanatory. Bluff-self explanatory. Blunt pommel strike-self explanatory. Okay changeling choke-hold is ambigious, but come on.Donmax 04:20, October 22, 2011 (UTC)

Hmm
Oh, so that's why I was asked questions about user page stuff. :P  CC7567  (talk) 08:42, October 27, 2011 (UTC)

Planets
Hello CC7567.

I have noticed that there are a lot of planets missing from the list of planets. If no one else is going to, am I aloud to add all the missing planets in, aslong as I know that they are planets?--Dagobah system 06:18, November 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * oh sorry Trak Nar. Just wondering, what is internet Spam?--Dagobah system 06:27, November 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ok. Thanks for all your help you've given me.--Dagobah system 06:52, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Article formatting
Ok. I'll keep that in mind :D--Dagobah system 00:47, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Insider 129
I'm jumping in on the question I saw you post to Tope. I can see nothing new in the issue that isn't already included, so I don't think there is any need for you to rush out and buy it. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 03:54, November 10, 2011 (UTC)

Renaming pages
Hello Trak Nar. I made a page called Picutorian system because the list of planets said it was a redlink. Just after I made the page I realized the reason it was a redlink was because the spelling was wronge on the list. Could you please show me how to rename the page to Pictuorion. :D--Dagobah system 04:26, November 11, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks heeps! :) Dagobah system 03:34, November 16, 2011 (UTC)

Request
Would you mind deleting Sniper droid so that I can I can move Sniper droideka back to Sniper droid? The new SW.com Encyclopedia calls it a sniper droid, and to me, SW.com trumps the only other source of the Wizards RPG book. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 00:57, November 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Most appreciated. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 01:03, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

Don't Delete
Please don't delete the old file history for File:CrimsonEmpireIII2Final.jpg. I need it to illustrate how Wikia's upload function is acting screwy. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 01:25, December 3, 2011 (UTC)

Questions
I'm new to editing wikis and noticed that you deleted the "Appearances" section on Kedler. Is it because the mention was in a record of past events as opposed to a story narrative? Just trying to make sure that I understand the correct way of doing things so that people don't have to come behind me and fix things as often. :) --Matthias777 21:15, December 13, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, thank you! Is it appropriate to put a (First Mentioned) tag under "Sources" for such articles, then? --Matthias777 21:24, December 13, 2011 (UTC)

Also, I am trying to move Dolla to Dolla system. It flagged the action and won't let me do it. If you need me to provide the reasoning behind it I can do so. --Matthias777 21:33, December 13, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a ton! :) --Matthias777 21:39, December 13, 2011 (UTC)

I just started reading Insider. This Ask Lobot section looks rad, but I would like to know where I can see all the Ask Lobot Answered questions. Do u know where on wookieepedia OR the Internet I can find them?24.193.147.106 21:48, December 19, 2011 (UTC)

Restore the image for the STC003 Starcrasher immediately. ZeldaTheSwordsman 20:54, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Image restore
Hey Trak; I restored the image of the Starcrasher you deleted. I've been talking with the original uploader, Le Passent, and he's translating material from the French RPG mags for us. I think he just put the wrong licensing tag on it, and I've no reason to doubt his contributions, although I have asked if a full page confirmation scan would be possible. Just wanted to give you a friendly heads up to my actions and keep you in the loop. - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 21:40, December 20, 2011 (UTC)

Pieces of Anakin
Hey Trak, an anon has been creating these head-to-head "Force moves" and IIRC you originally deleted one because the source did not contain any of the information. The anon created many of these articles, as listed here, and could you be able to check them? I added various clean up tags, although I'm not sure if they're fanon or not. Thanks,  JangFett  (Talk) 18:01, December 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, Floyd took care of the articles a few days ago. Thanks, though, Trak. :)  JangFett  (Talk) 23:13, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Redlinks
Do u know how to search for redlinks on this wiki?24.193.145.164 22:35, January 1, 2012 (UTC)

Gand in Star Wars: The Old Republic
Hey, Trak. I'm currently playing through Star Wars: The Old Republic, and I noticed there's at least one Gand in the game. He or she (how do you tell?) is on Coruscant, in the Old Galactic Market's Concourse Bazaar. The Gand is named Qoussk, and he or she sells specialty goods. Qoussk has purple skin, so that may be something you need to deal with in "Biology and appearance." There are two quotes for the character, too: "This one shall assist you," and "This one wishes you well." I'll keep my eye out for other Gand as I continue playing. ~ Savage  17:01, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * No problem! The turquoise eyes might be worth mentioning too. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 21:14, January 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done! Don't forget to mention those colors in the infobox too! ~ Savage BOB sig.png
 * This one notes that there is also the Gand Yuun in SW:TOR. --Eyrezer 19:18, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

As a source
Why can't I use wookieepedia as a source, I can't find a picture anywhere else on the web to verify my new article.So what do you say?24.193.145.164 21:14, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Clothing
Thanks for the heads up I'll make sure to use it in all of the future pieces of armor I add from TOR and i have alot too do so thanks for catching this early on! Ayrehead02 21:52, January 9, 2012 (UTC)

Brisksaber
Trak Nar, please. Didnt you at least look at my link for Brisksaber. I only wrote [Removed due to filter] instead of http, because Im not allowed to give links. Trust me, just type it in, it's a real link. Thank-you 24.193.145.164 06:56, January 17, 2012 (UTC)

Gand in the Book of Sith
Hi Trak, the book mentions that the planet Gand was raided by the Sith species at some point prior to the arrival of the Exiles on Korriban. That is pretty much all it says, and there is no mention of the Gand species at all. --Jinzler 10:00, January 21, 2012 (UTC)

Yozusk
I made the Yozusk page and I know the appearance and it is Star Wars: The Old Republic. How do I add the appearance on it???--Pat82197 22:45, January 23, 2012 (UTC)

Okay I added an appearance on both pages I made Gizmel Gam and Yozusk and they were both in Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Thanks for correcting my inadvertent double redirect. Still learning the ropes around here. If I may ask, how was the redirect duplicated? Also, was there a more elegant solution I could have applied? Many thanks. 209.115.232.65 13:13, February 6, 2012 (UTC)Pel Morba

Revert
Just wanted to say thanks for the revert you made on the Sith (species) page. Cheers! —Obi–wan Jacobi  ( Talk ) 05:42, February 9, 2012 (UTC)

Image deletion

Nuclear fusion
Why cant I make a page for nuclear fusion?173.245.64.35 20:25, February 20, 2012 (UTC)

Yerol
Thanks for fixing the Yarol page's title, wasnt sure how to fix the title after it got submitted.

Insider 132
Hi Trak, I don't think that the Insider 132 article adds anything new on either of them. It just discusses the Dengar-Zuckuss-4-LOM naming inconsistency problem, in relation to their Kenner action figures and the intentions of Archie Goodwin. --Jinzler 21:59, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

Gands Gands Gands
Hey, Trak. Just a heads up that I just dumped a bunch of redlinks into Gand. I'll try to clean them out over the weekend! ~ Savage  11:54, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yep, sometimes I can't read my own writing, hence the misspelling. :) ~ Savage BOB sig.png 14:09, March 29, 2012 (UTC)

hey hows it goin

RE:Essential Guide to Warfare info for Zuckuss and 4-LOM, if any?
Zuckuss does appear a bit in a section about D'harhan. However, it is only mentioned that Zuckuss was with D'harhan, as the section is all about the cyborg. He also appears in the picture for that section. I'll add the Essential Guide to Warfare to the sources if it isn't already there. 501st Dogma Republic_emblem.png( Comlink ) 12:06, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * On a second read over of that section, it says that Zuckuss told the Assembler Balancesheet of what happened with the Shell Hutts. I've added that to Zuckuss's article. 501st Dogma Republic_emblem.png( Comlink ) 12:44, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

Celebration VI
Hey Trak. I know you've said that you're not sure whether you'll be able to come up with the money to attend CVI. I just exchanged a few emails with Mary Franklin, and I was told that we get four free exhibitor passes with our table. Those receiving the exhibitor passes do not need to purchase a regular ticket. I'd prefer to give these free passes to people on tight budgets who might otherwise not be able to afford it (so as to maximize the number of volunteers), and since you're in that situation and also an administrator, I wanted to give you first shot at the second pass (the first will be mine as the organizer). I don't need an answer right away, so you can take some time and look into your budget a little more, but I just wanted to let you know what's going on. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Council Chambers Thursday, April 12, 2012, 16:24 UTC

Re: SOTE cards
Looking over the Zuckuss article really quick, it looks like the article covers it pretty well. The cardback descriptions are really just basically summarizing everything from the comics in very general detail. The only thing you might consider is incorporating links to some of the articles I've created, namely the unidentified bounty hunters that board Slave I with him, and maybe link to hoversled at the end there where Fett straps him and 4-LOM to it. As for the Warfare updates, thank you very much for the offer. If it's no problem for you, I would enjoy doing it. I'm looking forward to updating all my many articles that need updates, just haven't had time to get to it yet. I told myself I'd finish with my SOTE trading card project first, which is very near completion now. Thanks, though. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:50, April 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I think all the titles are now at reasonable names, though things can always be moved if need be. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:13, April 24, 2012 (UTC)

RE: Categorization
Thanks for doing that. I usualy think I've finished creating the article when the Sources section is put in! 501st Dogma Republic_emblem.png( Comlink ) 11:50, April 21, 2012 (UTC)

Star Wars Insider 133
Hey Trak Nar, I noticed that their is'nt a page for Star Wars Insider 133, and its coming out in 2 days. I would create it myself but I'm a newb and not capable of that comprehensive an article. Could you do it or request it. Once upon a galaxy has a great resource. Just sayin not includin it would be a mistake.209.62.91.210 03:50, April 29, 2012 (UTC)

Colon
Since this isn't Facebook, I can't just click "like" when you post something like "Colon, people. It's not just for digestion," I have to come all the way to your talk page and actually articulate the fact that I like it and found it funny.

Worth it. jSarek 04:18, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
 * Aye; I probably should have included a smiley so you knew my tongue was firmly in my cheek. I, too, prefer this site not be Facebook; I like Facebook as its own thing, but I don't want every site to be it, and hate how much it's encroaching on everything else. And you're probably right about something like it being in the Wikia skin du jour, but like you, the only times I see it are those brief moments when I get mysteriously logged out, before I log back in. jSarek 04:50, April 30, 2012 (UTC)

Idiocy
All right. But I do believe it calling out idiots when I see 'em. Darth Kieduss the Wise 04:13, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Page deletion
Why'd you delete Neimoidian Council Members when there was still unresolved matters under the talk page? If it was really that appalling, it could simply be moved to 'Neimoidian Council' with edits made. -SlashMan 19:17, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Understandable. However, is there a way to bring the page back so proper modifications can be made? -SlashMan 21:05, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks for restoring, I've already attempted to improve the wording. I'll wait until a final verdict is reached before re-uploading the picture.-SlashMan 03:17, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Sorry about the mess on the Duel in the Dark Council page
Sorry for creating so many redirects, I made a mistake and stuffed up badly, sorz I posted the apology on my talk page, I'll try to think properly next time and not rush. Mattto123 07:09, May 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot for clearing the mess and killing the unnecessary pages. I don't know what I was doing back then. Mattto123 07:12, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Photo uploader
When you use the photo uploader in the edit mode, does it even give you the option to source it? I looked for one, but I didn't see anywhere I could type it in. &mdash; Eшσҡ  $їтӈ Lōяƌ  05:36, June 2, 2012 (UTC) &mdash; Eшσҡ  $їтӈ Lōяƌ  17:26, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thanks!

Gandspeak
Hey, Trak. Found this little tidbit and thought I'd let you decide what to do with it: "Some species voices were hybrids: voice files so heavily altered that they ultimately became sound effects. According to Expanded Universe lore, the Gand don't have vocal cords but speak by exhaling, causing their exoskeletons to vibrate audibly in an approximation of verbal language. 'The question was, "How are we going to do that?"' says Orion Kellogg. 'Do we have a sound designer create sound effects, or do we have an actor read lines and have a sound designer process that to make it sound more like a vibration language? It's iterative and takes a lot of trial and error to get it sounding right.'" (from The Art and Making of Star Wars: The Old Republic, p. 157) ~ Savage  20:01, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

Timeline of Books
I would like to make a major revision to the Timeline of Books page. It would make the colors more consistent with the Timeline of media page. I would make red unpublished, blue adult novels (because blue is the color for the main stories as opposed to the short stories), and green would be kids novels. I think the consistency would make it easier for readers in the long run and give a more professional look to the site. Could I have your input on this? I was told to run it by an admin. Thanks. &mdash; Eшσҡ  $їтӈ Lōяƌ  04:59, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

That's kind of a cool thing, the Consensus Track. Done. &mdash; Eшσҡ  $їтӈ Lōяƌ  05:19, June 3, 2012 (UTC)

Userpage
hey whats up i was just wondering how do you set up your profile so were you can have a box of attributes and a pic like the one you have can you please help me

When a Wookieepedian claims to be famous...
Hello Trak, not sure who I should ask about this, but you're an admin, so I figured start here. How does Wookieepedia vet someone's claim if they say they're an author? I ask because this fellow, User Talk:Dzunyash claims to be Ben Grossblatt, who wrote in The Jedi Path and The Book of Sith. I'm always skeptical about these things, so I'm curious as to how you guys deal with it. Thanks! Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith  -Just shy, not antisocial: You can talk to me!- 12:51, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * If I may intervene, it could very possibly be him. I once exchanged a few PM's with Ben Grossblatt, and it does sound like him. He also goes by the name "Dzunyash" (though it should be written "Dzunyâsh"), which is "Grossblatt" in Sith language. I just emailed him a few minutes ago, so I guess the mystery may be solved soon if he ever answers. --LelalMekha (talk) 13:14, July 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * There. I just got an answer, and we discussed the accuracy of the Sith language article I've been working on. It seems perfectly legit, and the user has the proper official address and telephone number of a becker&mayer! Books editor. But this raises another question: I was given some new (tiny) pieces of information regarding Sith language, but I guess I cannot use the emails as a reference? --LelalMekha (talk) 08:01, July 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Would something like that Callista/Hambly e-mail be proper, then? If so, I'm going to ask Ben Grossblatt his permission to use our emails (after all, it was something of a private conversation to begin with). --LelalMekha (talk) 08:33, July 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * Now, that's great. I wouldn't want to put a copy in the BTS, because I think it would only deface it. --LelalMekha (talk) 09:14, July 14, 2012 (UTC)
 * THere. I got Ben Grossblatt's consent and I created the page: Sith language/Ben Grossblatt email. Could you lock it? --LelalMekha (talk) 09:16, July 16, 2012 (UTC)
