Castaways o' Endor
Hi Bob! I would like to find out if there's any info on Kuna's Eye in the article "Castaways of Endor". Axinal pointed me to you, due to your apparent familiarity with the source. If&mdash;due to some sort of deus ex machina&mdash;you don't happen to be one, do you know any other user who is a member? Thanks in advance.&mdash; TK-999  ( Rise of the Empire ) 19:37, June 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I used to be a member, but I do have that article saved. And lo and behold, it does mention Kuna's Eye! Here's the relevant passage: "The colony ship Free Enterprise departed from Eriadu approximately 130 years before the Battle of Yavin, carrying several hundred Jinda and mandrill-faced Tulgah settlers. It vanished on its way to Kuna's Eye in the Moddell sector. No one back home learned of its fate until Rebel traders discovered the Forest Moon's flourishing Jinda and Tulgah populations shortly after the Battle of Endor." This is from the first page of the article, if you want page numbers. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 06:37, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Much appreciated. Thanks!&mdash;TK-999 Era-imp.png(Rise of the Empire) 12:42, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Guineo
Hello SavageBob, and thank you for the Guineo information from the strategy guide. I have another Guineo related request for you. If you don't mind, could you get some images of some of the Guineo from Star Wars: Bounty Hunter. An image of the guy at the start of the level would be nice, as well as an image of each Guineo bounty if you can get them. I am hoping to promote the Guineo article to either good or featured status, and all I have is one image to work with. Thanks again for you previous help.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  13:11, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'd love to help out, but I actually don't have the game, only the strategy guide, and it doesn't really have any good pictures to scan (they're all way too small). You have two options for images, then. First, I know has the game and was able to get an image of Longo Two-Guns from it for me. You might try and post to their talk page to ask about images you need. Secondly, you can try to find a Bounty Hunter walkthrough of the Guineo level on YouTube. The quality will be a lot lower, but if SinSam is not able to help out, this may be your only option. Good luck! ~  Savage  BOB sig.png 16:18, June 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * By the way, let me know when you finish expanding Guineo. I'd be happy to do a pre-nom review for you. You'll probably end up with more than 1,000 words, so you can go for FA! ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 16:30, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

Mimph
Hey Bob, do you think you could take a look at 's objections to my Mimph nomination? There seems to be some disagreement on proper sourcing, and it somewhat pertains to you :P. Also, do you know if Castaways of Endor mentions if the magic used by the Ewoks is a manipulation of the Force? I know I read that on this site somewhere, but I can't seem to find it at the moment. Thanks for your help!&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 10:47, June 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Commented on both counts. I've got the FAN page on my watchlist, so I'll keep an eye on the conversation. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 16:56, June 21, 2011 (UTC)

Re: CT where art thou
It was discussed, but unfortunately it wasn't decided upon. And then we just forgot to cover it last meeting, likely because the whole issue itself really died down; but I've added it to the next meeting agenda to make sure that we don't forget about it again. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 01:42, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Guineo
Yes, after I finish expanding the article and get enough images for it (which will likely be after my trip), I will nominate the article, so doing them back-to-back would be just find with me. I will give you a message when I am done with my work on the article, and then we can talk about what to do with the nomination, good bye.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  23:23, June 22, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Images of mimphs!
Hey Bob, those are good images that would be great in articles if they could be photoshopped properly. The current problem I have is with the names&mdash;"Thrasher" is very clearly the toothless mimph, as he is the only one without the red diamond on his stomach, but I heard the name as "Trasher." That one isn't much of a problem, as the article already has the template. A different problem arises with "Masher," however (which I heard as "Smasher." I believe that Masher/Smasher is a separate mimph from the one that is being shown. However, I can't be sure, as all four mimphs are actually offscreen when the name is uttered. So while the Thrasher image might be good for Trasher's article, the Masher image probably wouldn't be so good, as the mimph shown is currently in the Unidentified mimph hunting team leader article. Both images, however, could potentially be very good for the mimph article, as long as we're not too specific with names in the captions. So to make a long story short, yes, these images would be perfectly fine with me for the mimph article, as long as we don't name them specifically, and the Thrasher image would be great for Trasher's article. If you're willing to do the photoshopping, you have my full consent to add these images as you feel necessary.

On closer examination, I see that both images have the names written right there on the page. That would certainly clear up the whole naming problem if the name was written by the artist. Do you know if that is the case? If so, I think we would now have canonical spellings for those names, and a canonical name the hunting team leader. It's entirely possible that "Smasher" and "Masher" are actually two different mimphs, rather than the same mimph's name heard two different ways.

Thank you for asking permission, and for directing me to the site. Cheers!&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 01:14, June 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thank you for finding that out. I'll move their respective articles, and also fix the mimph article.&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 01:10, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've taken the liberty of assuming that Masher and Smasher are indeed two different mimphs, based on evidence from the episode&mdash;basically, what I heard as the name "Smasher", being spoken by a voice that, while offscreen, sounds like Masher's. What do you think?&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 01:21, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, in lieu of a script or something, I think we're OK. The quality of the online copies of the episode are just too poor to be definitively sure (especially with /S/ sounds), but I'm confident you've sorted the mimphs out as well as possible. Nice work! ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 01:30, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Bob! Sorry, I forgot yet again to keep the convo to one page. Give me an eSlap across the face next time. :P (For the record, I thought I just made up a word, but I checked Urbandictionary and it's already in there. :&mdash; Axinal  Convocation Chamber 01:49, June 25, 2011 (UTC)

First Nomination
Hello, I was working on an article today, and I think it's worthy of comprehensive status. The article is Shrinkroot potion. I don't know very much about the Ewoks tv show, so I was wondering if you could look over the article before I nominate it and tell me what you think.

Thanks!

Teff 23:00, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, Teff, nice to see the article. It's looking pretty good, but I do have a few suggestions. First, is there a quote from the episode it's featured in or from the comic that you could add to the beginning of the article? Second, it sounds like the potion appears in two sources, but the article currently only seems to talk about one of those two. You should consult the comic it's used in and add any relevant information from that source too. This will require you to use footnotes, as well, since all the information cannot be sourced to just a single source. Finally, be careful of speculation, as it sounds like you're speculating that the effects of the potion are permanent. Let me know if you need any more help! ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 23:51, June 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for reviewing the article. I don't have access to the comic, so I will have to pick another article that I do have all sources for. But thank you very much for giving me the suggestions! I am still new to Wookieepedia, so I'm still adapting! I intend to contribute to a lot of articles once I am used to Wookieepedia's style. Thanks again! Teff  01:15, June 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem! And don't give up on the potion article just yet; often if you go to the page for the source you lack, click "What links here?" and scroll through the results, you'll find a list of people who own the source you don't have. You can then ask them on their talk page if they could look up the information for you. Unfortunately, I don't see that anyone has the Ewoks Annual. That being the case, you could try IRC, or the Senate Hall. Good luck! ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 01:29, June 26, 2011 (UTC)

Wookiee Cookie
I saw your message about the potion and thought for sure you deserve this for helping me out! I will try IRC sometime, but in the meantime I'll find another article to work on. But as I said, you have been a great help, so thanks!
 * Hey, thanks! I really appreciate the thought! I'm happy to answer any other questions you have, too. :) ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 18:03, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Gand weights and measures
Currently adding it in now (since SAV has weights, it's looking like a good argument for adding a weight field to infoboxes). Looks like Zuckuss is on the light (and short) end of the average for males. Now where to best put that in his article, if such observation is permitted...  Trak Nar  Ramble on 23:11, June 27, 2011 (UTC)

Trandoshan and sketch cards
Hi, I noticed you added some sources for Trandoshan, but I'm now asking why there's three same sources? I assume it's bad copypaste, meant to be three different cards? (: –Tm_T (Talk) 05:52, July 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks for bringing that to my attention! It's three different sets that Pronovost seems to have done the Trando sketches. Should be fixed now! ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 05:56, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Midge
Hello SavageBob, since I know you as one to consult with movie adaptations, can you check the Return of the Jedi adaptations for Midge? In case you're not good with ID'ing him,, also his Yodapedia pic, shows an actual shot of him from the movie. As always, thanks in advance :) Hanzo Hasashi 03:31, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, Hanzo. I'd be happy to check the various adaptations, but it will have to wait until next month. I'm in the middle of a move, so all my stuff is packed up. I'd be happy to check as soon as I get the chance, though! ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 16:06, July 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks. He is currently a GAN. I have gotten some info from Menkooroo; I know he is in the PhotoComic, and not in the storybook or the comic books. An adaptation Menkooroo can't access is the Disney book-and-record, an appearance for Palso Thern apparently. Hanzo Hasashi 17:43, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

Insider 127
Hey Bob. I saw you posted a new source on Beyghor Sahdett, Insider 127. I was wondering if you were able to share scans of the "Last of the Jedi" article, or possibly the info therein? If not, I totally understand, but no where around here sells this magazine anymore and this seems like an article I'd be interested in.--Demos Traxen 02:34, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I managed to find it! Haha, sorry about that.--Demos Traxen 03:00, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool; glad you found a copy. :) ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 04:13, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Zuckuss/Gand info
Thanks, I must have missed that bit on my first read-through.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:38, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * On that note... do you happen to have (or know someone who has) Venlyss Pnorr's Cracken's Rebel Operatives entry? I wanna double-check some things.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 06:46, July 14, 2011 (UTC)

WP:AS
Hey Bob; I'm planning to write a little spotlight on WP:AS for the NewsNet as the first in a series of articles profiling the various WookieeProjects. As part of the article, I'd be grateful if you would consent to answer a few questions regarding your work on the project? I'm asking Eyrezer as well since you two are the primary active contributors. Thanks is advance, Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 12:59, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to. Let me know where and when. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 13:34, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Cool. Once I get the questions drafted, I'll shoot them over to you by email. Should be within the next week or so. - Cavalier One FarStar Logo.jpg( Squadron channel ) 09:56, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Guineo
Yeah, I still have a lot of work to do on the Guineo article, and I still need some more images for the article. I think you should probably go ahead and nominate the Draag article. Good luck with the nomination, I should be done with Guineo in a couple of weeks if I can get images.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  15:05, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

hi
hey man my user name is TheRealLukeSkywalker.... i am just introducing myself and i would like to ask how do i get to this sites blogs.... i am new to wookieepedia but not new to wikia and i just would like to know how to acess the blogs thats all &mdash;Unsigned comment by TheRealLukeSkywalker (talk &bull; contribs).
 * Hey, TRLS, and welcome to Wookieepedia! Be sure you sign your comments by typing ~ after them. As for the blog, try this link. I think that's what you're looking for! ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 22:28, July 18, 2011 (UTC)

Skeleton!
Hello, Bob! I'm wondering if you can help me out. I seem to recall that you have Star Wars: Behind the Magic and A Guide to the Star Wars Universe (Third Edition). I'm hunting for info on a skeletal-looking fellow... is there any chance you could help me out? Let me know!

If you do have BTM, I'm also hoping you can tell me if it's where this image comes from. The upload attributes it to ANH, which it's decidedly not a screengrab from. Thanks. Menkooroo 05:46, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, I'm happy to help if I can. I'm not sure of the original source of that image, but the page information for it says that is also appears in The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, so Star Wars Encyclopedia might be a good place to check for it too. As for Behind the Magic, I do have it, but it'll be packed away for another few weeks yet before I can get to it, unfortunately. But you're in luck regarding the third edition of AGTTSWU; it's also packed away, but it was in a box I recently had to open to get at something else! I should be able to get to it tonight or tomorrow morning, and I'll hit you up on your talk page when I do. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 14:47, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! No worries about the delay. Good luck with the move. :) Menkooroo 03:00, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Turns out Morrt has BTM. He was able to help me out there. Less stress on you during a stressful time. :P Menkooroo 10:43, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

The home of the poor blind slug...
Hey Bob! Please take a look at the question I've posted on the CAN of the Orkellian cave slug article. If I'm proven wrong, then a couple of recent CAs will have to be corrected, too. Thanks!  Imperators II (Talk) 13:37, July 21, 2011 (UTC)

Essay
Hey Bob,

In effort to continue the chronicling of our FA history, I am asking and encouraging you to record your personal FA statistics here please, when time permits. Any questions, don't hesitate to ask, and thanks.  —Tommy  9281  Friday, July 22, 2011, 07:17 UTC 
 * Updated! Thanks for letting me know. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 02:18, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

WookieeProject: Aliens
Hi SavageBob,

Would you object to being added to the WookieeProject Aliens infobox under the "led by" heading? Right now, it lists me as the founder, and I'm not really around very much. It would be good for a more active user to be listed up front as a contact. (I'm not sure if a formal nomination process would have to be made for this -- I suppose we'd just place a note on the forum.) Cheers, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 23:17, July 22, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, Dan! I think maybe Eyrezer should be listed as the leader. He's been fairly inactive lately, but I'm hoping that's just a symptom of the summer and he'll pick back up in the next month or so. I'll ask him about it; if he thinks his activity level won't come back up a bit, I don't mind "taking over." But I certainly think he's more qualified and experienced than I. :) ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 02:07, July 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I've got a broken computer at the moment, but don't count me out just yet! :P --Eyrezer 07:16, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yay! (Yay to the fact that you're not out, not to the broken computer.) Good luck getting it fixed! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 15:21, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Longo Two Guns
Are you still interested in high-res-but-otherwise-PS2-grade shots of Longo Two-Guns? SinisterSamurai 22:50, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I appreciate the query, but I think this image you got earlier is sufficient. The article's not really long enough to support another image. What do you think? ~ Savage BOB sig.png 23:22, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is a short article. I only ask because I just took like twenty towering shots at 3840 x 2676 @ approx 39mb each pre-crop (gotta love emulators that let you take shots in higher resolutions than the original console) before I realized that you might not still be interested. Now I'm going to go get some giant Guineo shots, as someone put in a request for them a few weeks back. SinisterSamurai 23:39, July 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ha! Yeah, I'll trust your judgement. If you think you've got a shot better than the one in the article but that illustrates the same battle, please don't hesitate to upload it. There might also be a use for any images you might have taken of Two-Guns's associates, listed in the Clantaani infobox. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 00:01, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Leffingite 2
Hi Bob! In the Leffingite article, you state that they were attacked by AT-ATs. The source mentions AT walkers. Currently I am CANning the Battle of Almak, and I am not sure that I can add AT-ATs. Do you think AT walker can be interpreted AT-AT, in this case? Darth Morrt 10:08, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, Morrt, unfortunately my copy of that article is on an external harddrive that's packed up right now, so I'm not sure. My notes say "AT-AT," but it's possible I made a mistake. If you have a copy of the article, go with what it says, I guess! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 15:43, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have the source. "He was an old-fashioned military man and while he viewed the AT walkers as graceless brutes he had to admit they were effective, particularly in subduing the unruly Leffingites in the Battle of Almak." A graceless brute AT walker is most likely an AT-AT, however I think this is actually fanon or OR. Do you mind if I change the Leffingite article to mention on AT walkers instead of AT-ATs? Darth Morrt 17:01, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Please do! Thanks! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 19:48, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

CAN archives
OK thanks for your input. I don't know if you've looked at Trak's response yet, but she said that Culator said that it would be fine. Thanks! Cal Jedi (Personal Comm Channel) 15:13, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * I saw that. I still think that it's not fine. There is an inherent conflict of interest if nominators can judge and archive their own noms. I think it's best to be patient and let someone else do it. Cheers, ~ Savage BOB sig.png 15:39, July 28, 2011 (UTC)

Glurrg sources

 * I checked out the Insider's Guide, but it just shows the same concept art that's in the databank. Since these are concept art and not necessarily canon, do you want them in the sources tab? Also, haven't been able to locate information from The Making of Episode I: The Phantom Menace, so if you could look into that, that'd be helpful. I think the rest of the objections are addressed. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 03:35, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * I tend to list those kinds of things under "sources" with a note like, or something. I should have access to my books again in about two weeks, so I can go ahead and strike and check back later; there's no need for me to hold you up any longer. ~ Savage  BOB sig.png 03:52, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Both that and your objection about mentioning the artist's name have been satisfied, I think, then. :) Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 02:57, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

CANom to GANom
I created the GA entry, not sure what to do about the CA entry. Should I delete it off the project page or leave it? Thanks! <- Omicron (Leave a message at the BEEP! ) 14:27, August 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * You can go ahead and archive it if you want, or leave a note that you're retracting the nom and let someone else archive it. Unlike successful noms, I don't think it's a conflict of interest to self-archive a failed nom. :) ~ Savage BOB sig.png 14:38, August 3, 2011 (UTC)

Braha'tok-class
Hey Bob, just to let you know, I addressed your last two objections to my ''Braha'tok-class gunship FAN. Also, I was unable to find the comic adaptions to RotJ. If they are available for you at the moment, could you flip through them and check if the gunships appear. Thanks. Kilson ( Let's have a chat ) 23:26, August 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's more likely it'll be in the PhotoComic than the regular comic, but I won't have access to either for another week or two. However, the ROTJ regular comic should be part of Omnibus: A Long Time Ago... Volume 4, which is released next week, so I can at least check that one then for you. Sorry again for the hold-up! ~ Savage BOB sig.png 00:29, August 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * No problem dude. Kilson ( Let's have a chat ) 00:31, August 10, 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 ) 09:36, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

Re-vamping WookieeProject Aliens
Hey Bob. When you get back, have a look at this subpage and let me know what you think of it as a possible re-jig of the WP:AS main page. I am quite keen to simply it, and move some of the operational parts - lagout guide, forum, etc - to a discussion page. This allows us to have a neat and tidy introduction/welcome page to show off the best of the project. Let know if you have any thoughts on ways to improve the appearance, functionality, etc. --Eyrezer 10:58, August 15, 2011 (UTC)
