Hey Mauser, I saw that you moved the StarWars.com episode guide from the "sources" section to the external links. Just so you know, those guides are considered sources. :)  JangFett  Talk 16:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for re-uploading those Force Unleashed comic panels. Mine were kinda bad because my scanner sucks. So, thanks again. Jensaarai 03:00, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for moving Jester; I considered it but forgot to do something about it. :P  CC7567  (talk) 02:03, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Warning
Point taken.

Broadside
Mauser, JangFett advised my to cut the battle a little bit, while you wanted it to expanded. Could you clear this. I want to comply both of you. --Clone Commander Lee 17:56, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Mauser I've fixed your objections on him. --Clone Commander Lee 17:20, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for this review all new and old objections fixed. --Clone Commander Lee 18:12, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for misunderstanding you on the last objection, Mauser. Fixed. --Clone Commander Lee 15:45, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Mouse Hunt
Hey Mauser, I was wondering if you would be interested in doing an OOU article, possibly Mouse Hunt. There needs to be more promoted OOU articles, and since you've expressed interest in them, I thought you would be perfect for one. Also, I am considering making an OOU project, and if I do decided to make it, would you consider joining. Kilson Likes PIE 20:02, 27 July 09 (UTC)
 * It will be possible, yes. I have planes for nominating an entire comic issue someday.  Mauser  Comlink 20:17, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Agents of Deception
They've got 10 new wallpapers up on the official SWG TCG site. I'm in the process of cropping/editing out the logo and text on them. But so I can determine if any of them have a place here, would you mind telling me what each of the cards official title is from the game? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 12:26, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Stang, you just beat me to it =) Okay, here they are, from left to right:
 * Stim Armor
 * Base of Operations
 * Jawa Engineer
 * Self Discipline
 * Aura of Luck
 * Mara Jade
 * R2-D2
 * Wookiee Defender
 * Deuterium Rounds
 * Chirq Council Sentry
 * Once you've uploaded them, I'll make sure to add respective artists.  Mauser  Comlink 12:36, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

That would be great, thanks, and thanks for answering. One more question. What is the title of the card pictured on the Agents of Deception page, the one at the top of the card list? Is that a nightsister? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:54, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Nope. That would be Dark Jedi Executor.  Mauser  Comlink 14:54, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Not an Agents of Deception query, but a Galactic Hunters one. What is the official title for this this card? Does the title, or the card itself confirm if this Twi'lek is a darksider? So far, I'd have to leave his article ambiguous as to his leanings of Force use, but the image seems fairly evident that he's using the dark side to force crush his victim. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 04:47, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's a tricky one. First, this was not a Galactic Hunters, but a Squadrons Over Corellia card (the wallpapers are released regardless of the set order). The card is called Crush and is definitely of Sith archetype, meaning that the Twi'lek is at least affiliated with Sith. However, this article (along with this one) had bugged me for a while. From what I can tell, the artwork on SWGTCG cards (not necessarily only the character ones) depicts both characters from previously established continuity, the NPC's from Galaxies MMO, and the characters created specifically for the card game. So, while recognizing Boba Fett or Talon Karrde on the card takes no effort at all, realizing that the character depicted might be Rune or Drakka Judarrl might be a little more difficult. And of course new characters like Rachi Sitra and Namman Cha make appearances as well. Here we go to the point: when the character depicted on a card does not obviously fall under any of those three categories, I am not sure if that character is canonical at all. The card game is meant to be a representation of Galaxies MMO, and it does a good job of managing it. The player uses a created avatar card, with a standard picture and choosen name and stats. And I am nit sure if the usual cards depict only canonical characters, or player characters as well. It's like having a picture of a generic character in the RPG sourcebook: it might be retconned to depict a particular character, it might not. In the latter case, would we have an article for Unidentified Female Duelist when all we have of her is one picture? If we do, we might as well create s stub for every new character depicted on a SWGTCG card - by my count it would be couple of hundreds of them at least. And I have no intention of doing this not being sure that they are somewhere in the Holocron and might be identified one day. I tried to approach the designer team with this question, but they prefer to talk about gameplay rather that canon. And, by the way, if we are keeping those two articles, you may add that they lived during the Rebellion era instead of unknown time period: the game most definitely takes place at the same time as the Galaxies MMO.  Mauser  Comlink 05:22, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. Thanks for the clarification. I've made the proper corrections to both those articles. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 12:10, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

OK, is this card actually found in the AoD card set? I've gone down the entire list here and I can't seem to find it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 19:17, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it's not. It's one of the scenario-only cards, to which I have no acess cause I don't have a SWG subscription. Same goes for Axkva Min and several others.  Mauser  Comlink 19:58, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. With all the information you're able to get on the cards, I assumed you must have a membership. How is it that you're able to find all the artist information for the cards then? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 22:57, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Anyone can download a free trial which includes a collection manager and ability to watch other's games amongst a few other things. But, even if you spend money to buy some virtual cards, you still don't get the whole access to all features unless you have an SWG account (interestingly, even non-active SWG account will do).  Mauser  Comlink 07:18, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Good to know. I might just download the free trial to check it out. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 11:58, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

CT-327
Sorry Mauser but i borrowed the description of rookie clones in my CT-327 article from Stripe, is that OK for you or should I rewrite it. --Clone Commander Lee 19:10, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Deleted Magic
Hey Mauser, I'm having difficulty writing and sourcing the information you gave me concerning Bast's role in Deleted Magic. While you said that Deleted Magic cannot be sourced as is, I'm not sure whether I should source it to the holiday special or something else.  JangFett  Talk 23:20, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That's what I actually meant. The fact the Holiday Special turns the scene with Vader and Bast from ANH into a new scene with Vader and non-Bast by replacing the entire dialogue is almost self-sourcing.  Mauser  Comlink 23:26, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
Hey, Mauser,

Can you do me a favor please? I'm currently working on this article, but a certain user has effectively butchered it in the midst of my   session. Can you please roll it back to my last edit before their first edit after mine on 07/23/09? I tried to just undo it from that point, but the system tells me it can't be done for some odd reason. If you can, it would be much appreciated. Thanks. —Tommy9281  ( No quarter given, all exits sealed ) 00:33, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. I just replace it with your version of Jusy 24.  Mauser  Comlink 01:01, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Why delete " Snowballs"and "Boulder" and not all the other 1 line pages
Can you explain why? Natonstan 16:53, 1 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Those words have no unique meaning in Star Wars context and could be found with the very same meanign in any English dictionary. Wookieepedia is not an English dictionary, so we don't need those articles. If you know any similiar ones, please list them so we could delete them as well. And sign your comments with ~ .

Zayne Carrick
Hey, I know that you too have done a lot of work on the Zayne Carrick article. My goal is to re-FA it, but I'm going to do a complete overhaul of the biography. I'll need some help especially since I do not have all the comic book issues/TPB's. If you can help me rewrite the article that would be great. My work will be at User:PointGiven/Workbench if you wish to help me or keep track of my progress. PointGiven  ( But...it was so artistically done... )

No problem, I never planed on doing anything on Mouse Hunt. --Clone Commander Lee 17:33, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Ponds
The one I uploaded was from a HD source, it wasn't any more blurry than the current image. I compared both images side by side. His mouth is closed in the one I uploaded. The color is slightly off on the current one. I've watched it on a laptop and two computers to see if the color difference I was seeing was just on my computer, but it's not. There is a yellowish tint to the current upload. Those are the reasons I uploaded the new version. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 02:21, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, do as you please. But I still think that what you're uploading looks terribly pixelized.  Mauser  Comlink 02:23, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Awards
How do I give people wookie Cookie awads correctly. Your most wanted User:Capt.Scout Officer report.

See you around dude.
Hey Mauser, this is Kilson. I was able to get around Grae's ban for the moment (which I know is going to piss him off) and I wanted to tell you bye and thank you. I'm leaving the site, probably forever, but I need to thank you for the stuff you did for me, getting involved in the OOU movement, and taking over Shakedown for me, thank you. Just because I'm leaving doesn't mean the OOU movement has to end. I know you're interested in nominating an actual comic issue, and if possible, I hope that you and some of the other OOUs make an OOU project soon. This was Kilson, I liked, like, and always will like PIE. :)

Bast objections
Hey man, I addressed the last two of your objections for Bast.  JangFett  Talk 00:39, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Broadside
Mauser, in your second review of Broadside is one last unstricken objection. If you don't want to remove it, please say why. -- Clone Commander Lee  Talk 18:37, 15 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Due to the fact that all normal clone troopers in TCW have white armor I think that it is a superior officer. Also he spoke to them as "troops" like a superior officer. Also Waxer and Boil were part of the 212th Battalion which armor color is yellow. -- Clone Commander Lee  Talk 09:26, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, should I remove it then from his Personality and trait ? -- Clone Commander Lee  Talk 09:36, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * OKay, removed. Thanks for the reviews Mauser. -- Clone Commander Lee  Talk 09:49, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:Evax
Well, I do think it's obvious that Evax is Human. I just feel wrong about putting his species as Human and sourcing it to the card. I'm not an expert on the SWCCG, but even though I trust what you say about the icon, I still don't think it's enough to call him Human. I mean, for all we know, he could be a Clawdite who wanted to be Human after embracing the Empire's xenophobic policies. Highly unlikely, but you get the picture. :p Anyway, thanks for the review.

Hey Mauser. I'm not sure what you and GT did, but wonderful job on salvaging our CCG template. Brilliant. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:09, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: FEG pilot droid
Hey Mauser. The article is pretty good :-). After a quick glance I made a few tweaks, but here's a few minor things that could be improved before you take it to the GAN: Looks good overall, I'll give it another review when it's on the GAN, but I can't imagine too many problems :).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 10:17, 16 August 2009 (UTC)
 * "FEG-series droids had shown extremely well performance and an exceptional ability to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances." "extremely well performance" doesn't make sense, I was going to just try to reword it myself but thought you'd know what the source reflected better so I'll leave it to you :).
 * "The customers were complacent with the model and many of them deliberately did not perform memory wipe on the FEG-series" Is "complacent" the right word for the situation? Or can you find something better.

Hypori
why did u take down my hypori page

Atlas
Hey Mauser. I know you are working hard to get new Atlas info onto the Wook, but with articles like Carnovia, can you also add the source for the additional piece of info not found in the Atlas, and an infobox? It doesn't take too much more effort once you've set up a sample one to copy and paste, and it looks a lot better. For example, compare Zadaria with Carlania. --Eyrezer 22:48, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * My fault. I know I could make most of those short stub articles better, but in most cases a quick search of the wook didn't reveal any additional info to what was in the Atlas. And since I wasn't working with the whole Atlas, but just with the one single preview, I figured that people who actually have the whole book with text pages might do a better job with it than me.  Mauser  Comlink 07:04, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for adding the info template to Meatlump-AoD.png When I uploaded ti, I got an Wikia error stating I had to try again in a few minutes. When I tried, the image had been uploaded, but for some bizarre reason, the info template didn't upload with it. Thanks again. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:59, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. I'll add the artists once I finish one little thing...  Mauser  Comlink 15:00, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Rodian Jedi
Re that Rodian Jedi, each of the SWG expansion sets has a framing story. For SOC, it is: "With direct orders from the Emperor himself, Imperial Special Forces have established a Headhunter squadron on the planet of Corellia. Their mission is to seek out and destroy a secret Rebel base on the Corellian moon of Talus. Long rumored to be just a reconnaissance post, the Imperials have learned the base acts as a launching point for Rebel sabotage efforts in the Corellian system and is harboring one of the last known Jedi Knights, Rachi Sitra. The Rebel's only hope is to launch a counter attack on the Imperial squadron in hopes of buying enough time to evacuate Rachi and other key Rebel personnel."

- SoC

Consequently, to fit the framing story, it must be on Tralus, no? --Eyrezer 09:46, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, no, it doesn't work like that. I know, because I played the game a bit and I'm responsible for the most edits related to it. That framing story is just for the in-game scenarios, to which only about 10 cards from each set are related. The rest of the cards show scenes set on all of the planets in the Star Wars Galaxies (Dantooine, Dathomir, Corellia etc.) - and even beyond that (some of the cards definitely depict Geonosis). So, until any new info comes out, that guy is just an Unidentified Rodian Force-user (not necessarily a Jedi) living during the Rebellion era, nothing more.  Mauser  Comlink 09:58, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. It's a shame, but thanks nonetheless. Now that I know you're the man for the Galaxies TCG, I have a question re AoD. Basically, there is the framing story here. Is there any other info on the story to be found by playing it, or is that all there is? --Eyrezer 01:23, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * As far as I know, there's ought to be. Each new set brings 10 new story-mode scenarios bound together by what you called "framing story". Before each of the scenarios there is a text introduction and when combined, there's way more info than in that short summary. Unfortunately, I have no access to them, since I don't have a Star Wars Galaxies subscription.  Mauser  Comlink 10:27, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * So you are saying that the card game scenarios are accompanied by actual quests in SWG? --Eyrezer 01:32, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I'm saying that to start playing the card game you need (regardless of the money) to have a current or former SWG subscription, which I don't. You may also read the Agents of Deception section above, I was telling JMAS basically the same thing.  Mauser  Comlink 07:49, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Bandon's death
Hi, Mauser. Can I revert your edits to the Malak article, due to the arguments here?--Jedi Kasra (talk) 20:02, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Kasra, I appreciate your hard work on the KOTOR villians, but I strongly think we should avoid any speculations in them if they are to become/remain FAs. The said order of visiting planets can be used for example in Revan's article (we do need to arrange them in some order!), but to use it to assume that Nord died on Tatooine and Bandon - on Manaan would be too much indeed. You can still keep the duel article if you rewrite it without establishing the planet, but you should avoid "establishing" the places of death of those two without a confirmation from official source.  Mauser  Comlink 20:09, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Kreia
Kreia could not and didn't use a double bladed lightsaber. She only had one hand and couldn't equip one in KOTOR 2.

Do you own the Complet Star Wars Encyclopedia. If, could you look if there is a source for this statement. Cutup got his nickname because he loved to mess around while on duty and have fun. -- Clone Commander Lee  Talk 12:33, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:
That's a good point. However, I don't really think it's worth having an extra disambig for it in this case. If anything, actually, the Tatooinian one could be considered more noteworthy because the planet's more well-known than Hoth. If you agree I'll happily swap them round, but either way I'd rather make an educated guess than have unnecessary parentheses. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 17:48, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

File:Scum and Villainy.jpg
Is there a reason you cropped the black side borders out on this image? The black borders are part of the actual cover itself, as is the case with all Saga Edition sourcebooks. I don't see why they should be cropped out, but I thought I'd check with you first before reverting in case you have a reason I'm not aware of. &mdash;Master Jonathan(Jedi Council Chambers) 19:59, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The black borders are definitely not part of the cover art.  Mauser  Comlink 20:12, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Then all of those images, except for the core rulebook, are in error. I own all of the sourcebooks and, looking at them in my lap right now, they all have the black side borders. The core rulebook is the only one that doesn't have the borders. &mdash;Master Jonathan(Jedi Council Chambers) 20:17, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The cover arts are square and do not have any borders.  Mauser  Comlink 20:39, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Because the black borders cover up the edges of the cover art. Compare the KOTOR CG cover art with the current cover image. The art is square, but our cover image is not due to having the black borders cropped out. A close look at the two shows that the left and right edges of the cover art are missing from the actual cover&mdash;this is where the art was covered up by the black borders, which were subsquently cropped out. I'm getting ready to leave home right now, but if you're still not satisfied, I can get my digital camera out when I get home late tonight and take a picture of one of the books, though I don't have the ability to scan anything. &mdash;Master Jonathan(Jedi Council Chambers) 20:51, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I do believe what you are saying. However, regardless of the actual cover, the borders are not part of the image and are irrelevant.  Mauser  Comlink 21:20, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
 * IMO the purpose of the cover images is to show what the entire cover of the book looks like from edge to edge, which includes the black borders. A decision needs to be made as to whether cover images should includes borders such as these, and I have started a CT thread for it. &mdash;Master Jonathan(Jedi Council Chambers) 22:52, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
