The Wrath of Darth Maul and the Atrivis (edit: Atravis) Sector
Hi! You asked about the the Atrivis Sector appearing in Star Wars: The Wrath of Darth Maul. When Darth Sidious is traing a three years old Darth Maul on Mustafar, Sidious takes Maul to the planet Tosste for further training. When they arrive, Maul "recognized a cluster of stars and realized they were still in the Atrivis Sector" (page 29). That is what the book says about the sector. Nightlily 11:17, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Delightful! Two follow-up questions: if there much description or plot on Tosste? And where were they before Tosste (that must also have been within the Atrivs sector)? --Eyrezer 19:26, January 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * You're right, it's the Atravis sector, not Atrivis. I'm so sorry about this; the names were so similar, and I got them mixed up. Sorry about the trouble... Nightlily 02:15, January 29, 2012 (UTC)
 * No trouble, just disappointment! --Eyrezer 02:26, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Weird Podrace Guy
It looks like Leland's taken some EU characters and retconned them into being patrons of Watto's box, which is actually pretty cool. The bio will need updating to detail Loba's presence at the Boonta race in 32 BBY, and the BTS needs an update too, describing the retcon. Naru originally CA'd the guy, so I've left a message on his talk page asking if he's interested in updating it. It's also about pickles. Mmmmmmm, pickles. Menkooroo 17:41, January 28, 2012 (UTC)

Gassy/Planty bubbly people
Hey Eyrezer, I just wanted to give you a heads up that Derrown the Parwan is apparently based off of Revwiens. The third slide on the trivia section under The Box's page on SW.com indicates as much. Cheers! Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 05:29, February 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks Trayus. Mauser added a note to this effect in the BTS of Revwien, and at this stage, I am not sure that I can go much further than that. Ie, LFL has not suggested that the Parwen supersede the Revwien, etc. Thanks for the heads-up though. --Eyrezer 06:00, February 6, 2012 (UTC)

Inqmoot 48
Hey Eyrezer. Please mark your calendar for Inqmoot 48, which will be held on March 4 or 5, depending on your timezone. As always, please leave notes prior to the meeting if you cannot attend. If you don't, this time the newly resurrected Darth Maul will be sent after you. Hope to see you there!  CC7567  (talk) 05:48, February 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey, Eyrezer. Just reminding you that you're currently on post-Inqmoot paperwork duty, since I think some people are getting a bit antsy to see this finished. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:11, March 9, 2012 (UTC)

SWG Series 6 Gands
What Gands are pictured, any new info, or is it just a Zuckuss source that I had long since covered? Thanks!  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:16, February 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just a picture of Zuckuss that adds nothing to the article. :) --Eyrezer 07:15, February 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * I thought so, and it's no doubt the pic of him exiting a ship on some arid, wind-swept planet somewhere. Just wanted to make sure.  Thanks!  Trak Nar  Ramble on 00:57, February 27, 2012 (UTC)

Attark in Return of the Jedi
Hi Eyrezer, I see that your GA Hoover mentions that Attark was visible in Return of the Jedi, lists that in the appearances, etc. Is he actually visible, instead of just in promo photos? I have never actively looked for him in the Jabba's Palace scenes, but I do know that Sompeetalay, who knows exactly where to pretty much spot everything there is in the movies, believes he is not visible in the film. Hanzo Hasashi 00:54, March 16, 2012 (UTC)

Your thoughts: I want 'em.
Hey, Eyre,

We'll be putting GAs on the Main Page soon, and I want to write a NewsNet post to promote it. Even though it won't be an interview, may I interview you? I'm hoping to get a few members of the community to share their thoughts on GAs, and as you've written a whole megaton of them, I'd love to be able to quote you. If it's OK, I'll ask you a few questions, and then summarize them in prose form midway through the article rather than have it be a question-and-answer style interview. Something like "'GAs are like miracle whip,' says Eyrezer, notable member of the Future Farmers of Wookieepedia, 'They taste great on sandwiches.'" The content will probably be a tad more relevant, though. Anyway, is it OK? If so, let me know if I should post the questions here, or via e-mail. It probably won't be for a week or more. Menkooroo 02:28, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Email would b best. :) --Eyrezer 05:21, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Awesome. Thanks for agreeing to do this. :) I'll probably contact you... within the next week and a half. Menkooroo 14:06, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey there! Questions have been sent. GAs are nearly set to go live on the Main Page on April 16th, so hopefully we can get the article posted by the end of this week. Thanks again! Menkooroo 19:20, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Yinchorri
Thanks for the cookie! I simply couldn't bear the thought of a such an interesting article loosing its status. --Jinzler 08:08, March 24, 2012 (UTC)

Unidentified young recruit
Hello. I've been working on the article in my sandbox lately (http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/User:LelalMekha/sandbox). Of course, the reference is always the same, as this youngling is a one-shot character from a minor game aimed at children... If you may have a look at it and further advice, I'd be glad to read it. Thanks. --LelalMekha 18:13, April 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm afraid I won't be able to do much better than tat for the P&T section. I still have one or two other quotes, but they are not very interesting (all of them are like "Do this, you must."). --LelalMekha 09:27, April 4, 2012 (UTC)

I'll try and answer your questions concisely:
 * 1) The game merely says the youngling was "sent" to Yoda by Kenobi. So Kenobi probably discovered him, but it's not stated outright.
 * 2) It's a bit of assumption, really. I suppose you don't send an ordinary child, Force-sensitive or not, on important (and potentially dangerous) missions like those.
 * 3) The Tiperoo wad added by antoher user on the real article's page, so I included it at first. But it doesn't seem to have a role in that, so I'd just take it off in the end of the day.--LelalMekha 11:47, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hello! I haven't added anything new to the sandbox since I answered your questions two days ago. I've been working on another project of mine (User:LelalMekha/sandbox2) that I also would like to nominate as GA some day. As for the "unidentified recruit", I don't think any new content can be added as there's only one source. Nonetheless, there still msut be clarifications or formal issues to fix, I guess.--LelalMekha 10:36, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Image cats question
Hey, Eyr. Just a quick question: Is Category:Images of sentient species not supposed to contain the subcategories like Category:Images of Togorians, etc.? That's cool if that's the case, but it seems to make those categories more difficult to find through the categorization tree. Should, perhaps, Category:Images of individuals by species be a subcategory of Category:Images of sentient species? Cheers! ~ Savage  14:37, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
 * Fair question. My starting point is to have a consistent approach, and there are far more species categories in Category:Images of individuals by species than Category:Images of sentient species, so my initial step was to make these all consistent in the first category and get the alphabetising working (instead of them all being sorted under "space" as had been set up for some reason). Second, Category:Images of individuals by species was already set up as a sub-category of Category:Images of sentient species. In terms of what would be best overall, I am not convinced what specification of the "individuals" part adds to the category. Perhaps it was for consistency with the other categories here. --Eyrezer 00:40, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I think it was supposed to be parallel to Category:Images of individuals by gender, etc., which is fine. OK, I didn't realize Category:Images of individuals by species was already a subcategory of Category:Images of sentient species. As long as you can get to the categories through both the Individuals tree and the Species tree, we should be OK. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 01:08, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

interview
Hey, Eyre. Sorry to keep bugging you about this, but any chance I could get those two interview answers from you? GAs go live on the main page in a week, and I'd like to have the promotional NewsNet post about it up really soon. Sorry again for sounding like a broken record. Menkooroo 05:30, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for everything. The article is now on Wookieepedia's Main Page! Hooray! Menkooroo 16:55, April 11, 2012 (UTC)

Nevoota Bee
Hey Eyre; I'm writing up some Essential Guide to Warfare stuff and came across the Nevoota Bee, a ship from the Clone Wars. As I was writing the article up, I noticed that you had GAed Nevoota (species) and included the "Nevoota Bee joke". I've incorporated it into the article, rewriting it so as to avoid direct copying of your text, but was hoping you might give it a once over and see if you feel that it needs further altering at all since I intend to GA it. Thanks in advance. - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 20:17, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me. Are you planning on mentioning Netoova - the planet or species - in the body of the article at all? --Eyrezer 23:11, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not sure, to be honest. Although the correlation/ reference is obvious, it's not explicitly stated. Linking to the articles through the word Nevoota should be okay though, right? - Cavalier One FarStar.svg( Squadron channel ) 23:16, April 23, 2012 (UTC)

Need some help
Hey, Eyre. I'm wondering if you can help me out. GAs are set to go live on the Main Page in twenty-four hours --- you're online right now; is there a chance you'll be online around the same time tomorrow? I'm looking to recruit an admin to add the Good article queue to the Main Page between now and that time, along with the first two bullet points here. I'm also hoping that the snowballs here (votes 1, 2, 3, and 5) can be closed in order for it all to be official. Anyway, let me know if you can help me out. I'll be on IRC for the next few hours if you need any clarification. Thanks. Menkooroo 00:15, April 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hey! Tope suggested I ask an admin in IRC to lower the Main Page's protection settings so that I can add the queue myself. In which case, you don't need to be online at any specific time. No pressure anymore. :P Menkooroo 02:46, April 15, 2012 (UTC)

Stieg-Fan
This just popped up on the random CA on the Main Page, and on reading it, I noticed a problem: the article portrays them as a species, but the book does not call them a species. I believe Category:Undefined social groups applies here, as we don't know if this is a species, a planetary demonym, or something else. What do you think? &mdash;MJ&mdash; Council Chambers Wednesday, April 18, 2012, 20:33 UTC


 * *ping* Did you miss this message? &mdash;MJ&mdash; Training Room Tuesday, April 24, 2012, 03:06 UTC
 * Just went back to the original source, and your call is probably fair enough. Adjusted the article now. Cheers. --Eyrezer 09:12, April 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * OK, looks good now. Thanks for looking into it. :) &mdash;MJ&mdash; War Room Thursday, April 26, 2012, 16:02 UTC

Windu's Guile
Could you come see if I satistfied your objection for Windu's Guile, I think Jang missed your objection and archived it. I did my best to provide context for the crystal. Please let me know if anything more is required. Sorry about the confusion.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  14:58, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

PorRandom
Hey, Eyre, I'm wondering about the various pages with the random species pic selections in them: User:Eyrezer/PorRandom3, User:Eyrezer/PorRandom2, etc. Would it be possible to just create one random selector box and then repeat it on the same page six times? The downside is that it could potentially select the same species twice in one page load, but that might be a small price to pay to avoid having to maintain six separate pages. Just a thought; might make the page prettier while saving our sanity. :) ~ Savage  14:43, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Followup: I just tested it, and got eight Amorphiians. So I guess it doesn't work. I wonder if there's a way to force it, though. I'm just a bit antsy of having to update eight different pages... ~ Savage BOB sig.png 14:45, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Good points. I think having only one random page would result in duplicate portals each presenting the same species, which is why I have split the lists into separate parts. The pages do not overlap, ie A-C, D-F, so that only one page would need to be edited each time a new article was promoted, rather than all 8 each time. For example, once Vodran is promoted, it only needs to be added to PorRandom7. I would also be happy to only update the random lists every month or so, rather than necessarily every time an article is promoted, which would reduce the maintenance.
 * Additionally, not sure if you noticed this, but on the master page, I added a "Refresh" link, which purges the cache and presents 8 new articles. --Eyrezer 23:44, May 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, OK. If the eight pages are separated by letter, that makes it easier. And, yeah, let's just see how it goes to decide whether we need to update it once a month or once an article passes. Articles are passing at such a slow rate right now that it wouldn't be too onerous to update one-by-one, for instance. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 15:07, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

First GA
Why, thank you Eyerezer. I was thinking about it, I must confess. I'm absolutely willing to "upgrade" the young recruit article, but it may be a bit too soon for that. I have other potential GANoms in mind, and I'm currently already working hard on the Charal article. Of course, this one too will need the help of native speakers, in order to avoid my speaking like Pr. Van Helsing in Bram Stoker's Dracula. ;-) --LelalMekha 14:40, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

Hewett
Hello, I have been looking over some of the old Comprehensive articles recently and I came across Hewett, which I noticed to be at 254 words. Since this is over the limit for CAs, I thought I would let you know so that you could take care of it when you have the time. Thank you for your time.-- Exiled Jedi   (Greetings)  17:05, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Galaxy Guide 6 Fortnay info
Eyre: Page 70, GG6 1st edition: "Assuming my translation is accurate, this ancient text from the planet Fortnay relates how the primitive inhabitants rose up and defeated superior oppressors. Sadly, the natives are now extinct." It's the quote at the bottom of a bio for Emiel Skoff, a historian allied with the Rebellion. - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 20:03, June 20, 2012 (UTC)

Sanyassan
Thanks for the tip, Eyerezer. I asked SavageBob if he could give me a copy-edit on the Sanyassan article, but I wondered if you could have a look at it, too. After all, you two are our in-house specialists in alien species, and two are better than one! The more issues are pointed out (and fixed) now, the less complicated the future nomination will be. --LelalMekha (talk) 22:29, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas
Hello Eyerezer. I saw you've made at least one addition related to Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, so I wondered if you actually had a copy of that book. I've been desperately searching for one, to no avail. If you have the opportunity, would you be so kind as to tell me what the book actually says about the Sanyassans? Best regards. --LelalMekha (talk) 15:36, July 10, 2012 (UTC)

Trifecta
Probably not, at least not for a while. I have a very serendipitous manner of going through articles. If one looks shiny to me and I'm bored with other things I'm working on, maybe, but even then it may well end up being a FAN, regardless of the kind of hat trick I'm aiming for. :) NaruHina  Talk  07:42, July 19, 2012 (UTC)

Lock request
Hello Eyerezer. Would you be so kind as to lock that page: Code of the Sith/Ben Grossblatt email?

Are these Ganks?
Take a look at this image, and then read the description of Ganks in their "Biology and appearance" section. Think these are supposed to be Ganks? Granted, I haven't read all of Galaxy of Fear: Eaten Alive, but from what I can gather, the only villains in it are Smada the Hutt and his Gank minions (aside from D'vouran the planet, which eats people alive). I think these may be unmasked Ganks. ~ Savage  21:53, August 26, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, wait -- I see now that they are Enzeen. Possibly a species for one of us to tackle. :) ~ Savage BOB sig.png 21:56, August 26, 2012 (UTC)

Species and subspecies
Hey, Eyre. I've put up a CT here: Forum:CT:Species and subspecies. Hopefully this will help us figure out how to handle subspecies articles. I've got notes or drafts done for Arkanian Offshoot, Stennes Shifter, and Saurin for which I'm not entirely sure how to proceed otherwise! ~ Savage  16:46, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Essential Reader's Companion
Hey, Eyre. I just got The Essential Reader's Companion in the mail yesterday, and it seems to include some new species IDs and possibly new planet placements. For instance, it confirms that Big Gizz is a Moggonite hybrid, and it provides a planet placement for D'vouran during the events of Galaxy of Fear: Eaten Alive that we could use so place the Enzeen species (the planet moved after the events of the book, but it's probably good enough for us). It's a beautiful book, so try to track it down if you can. In the meantime, I'll be (slowly) making my way through it checking this stuff to see how it might impact our work. ~ Savage  11:36, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

Tiss'shar
I noticed you did a pretty big clean-up on Tiss-shar; thanks for that. I have two concerns, though. First, I see you de-linked all of the image captions. While I don't see it reflected in the Manual of Style, I don't recall us ever overturning the consensus developed at the September 9 2007 Mofference (summarized here) that included image captions as linkable. Am I wrong about this? Second, I see you've set in stone the various types of Tiss'shar as subspecies, rather than races. My concern is the canon hasn't been consistent on this point: while the Ultimate Alien Anthology refers to them as subspecies, Galaxy Guide 12: Aliens — Enemies and Allies refers to them as races. Since there isn't a set-in-stone difference in the real world between the two terms, I wasn't concerned about their conflation, and used them synonymously in the article and in the articles about the subspecies. But if differentiating between the two terms is now important for our articles, we need to decide how best to handle it. jSarek (talk) 08:15, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries. What prompted the clean-up was the addition of a new field in the infobox for subspecies, as distinct from races. There is a related discussion on this in the Senate Hall that you may want to check out. IIRC, my source was the CSWE - probably one of the more recent Tiss'shar sources, which referred to various subspecies.
 * On image captions, my understanding is that, as with quotes, they should only be linked if the term is not linked in the body of the text. I think all the ones that I took out were linked in the text. However, let me check that this is the case. --Eyrezer (talk) 08:40, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * There is this, but it doesn't appear to directly address it. --Eyrezer (talk) 08:46, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Atlas Online Companion
Hey, Eyre, where'd you find the list of systems added in the latest Atlas Online Companion update? The page on SW.com still reflects the September 2011 update, although the PDF is the newer one. Tell me you didn't scour the two PDFs side by side! :) ~ Savage  12:46, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * LOL - I wanted to ask you how you knew there had been an update. No, I haven't seen any useful list of changes, but I had a look for the corrections that I had personally sent to Jason Fry, which accounted for a few. I also had a flick through Season 4 of The Clone Wars for the homeworlds of new species. There are no doubt non-species related worlds from TCW, but I have less of an interest in them. When they eventually put up an update, we will still need to go through systemically, I suspect. Yay! --Eyrezer (talk) 19:31, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Ah, that makes sense. Also, it appears that the Expansion Region sectors have been assigned: per this edit. I suppose we should check through Expansion Region aliens we've featured and make sure they get the sectors mentioned somewhere. ~ Savage BOB sig.png 19:45, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Jason has also indicated that there is an Expansion Region map coming out, so no doubt all ER systems are now sectorized. --Eyrezer (talk) 00:28, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Planetnamia
Hey, Eyre. Tope pointed out to me that our commonly used "Planetnamia" citation to the Jedi Council Forums no longer seems to work. Do you have any idea what happened to Jason Fry's posting on the Planetnamians from Planetnamia thing? We probably need to update a bunch of citations... :/ ~ Savage  21:50, October 19, 2012 (UTC)
