Wallen GAN
Would you support my GAN for Wallen? I think I have done an excellent job with the GAN, would you like to check it out and say what you think of it? Hanzo Hasashi 19:43, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * That guy who captured Luke and wanted to take a picture with him was Major Lesim, a character who doesn't appear in the film. And yeah, I'll add all of Wallen's other appearances too, but in the meantime wanna eliminate the second objection of yours? Hanzo Hasashi 19:57, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Please respond to objections on the GAN page, where discussion of the nomination will take place. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:00, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I would but I'm unable to make edits on that page apparently, so I therefore can only respond on the users' talk pages. Hanzo Hasashi 20:01, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Since you recently registered, you need 50 mainspace edits before you can edit semi-protected pages, like GAN. I would appreciate if you could try and achieve this benchmark rather than turning my talkpage into a satellite GAN page. Thanks. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:04, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Sry, didn't know that :)Hanzo Hasashi 20:10, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * What are mainspace edits? I've done 50 in-universe edits, and still haven't been able to edit the GAN page Hanzo Hasashi 22:19, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Pardon me I'm not trying to continue making this a satellite GAN page, but could you perhaps cross out your objections on my Wallen GAN since both have been taken care of, and also because I don't have any sourcebooks other than the visual dictionary, could you perhaps look through some sources for any mention, indirect or whatnot, or even mere photos of him that can be added as sources?

How to archive
Well I have posts from 8 months ago from members that I don't even talk to anymore. How do I archive stuff?

New look
Ya know, I watched a few clone wars episodes and they ain't that bad. I even found some legitimate stuff in there. Maybe I was wrong after allUser:Revanthereformer1138

Strun FAN
If an article is up for FAN, does that mean that only the original editor is responsible for changes? Or can anyone else still make edits? I ask because you reverted all the changes I made, including such cases of bad grammar, for example, "Starkiller fought his way to the skyhook's mooring structure and begun removing the tractor pins…" is grammatically incorrect. It should be written either "and had begun", or "and began". Other cases where I made changes is because a word or phrase was not linked, or the word itself was out of place, for instance, "his change to hunt a Jedi", should have been written "his chance to hunt…" and Starkiller was by no means a Jedi, so Force-user would have been more appropriate. Gethralkin 18:45, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Thyferra
I saw you reverted my new redirect, what I was doing was renaming it because it is never called the "Second Battle of Thyferra" in the game or any other source. Rather then creating a fanon name for the battle, I believe it is better to name the article something more official and descriptive. DjMack 23:49, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I understand your reasoning, and while those names might not exactly be canonical, I believe they are far more encyclopedic than "Moff Seerdon's attack on Thyferra," for example. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:51, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh and just for future reference,

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:SH:Abolishing_previous/next/concurrent_battles_section

I saw that someone else reverted all my edits to the Rogue Squadron battles that relate to this. It appears we are probably gonna get new rules about the before and after sections in battleboxes. DjMack 23:59, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

stop Editing my page --Tipper45 09:30, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know who Tipper45 is, nor how he/she is using my IP address, but apparently it has caused me to be blocked as well. ?JustinGann 03:18, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Apparently not, if you were able to leave this message. Toprawa and Ralltiir 03:20, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Italics
I would like to make my case in regards to the problem Mr. Mauser brought to your attention. Allow me to provide excerpts from a book about proper writing. About italics…

And on quotation marks…

Now, both you and Mr. Mauser have cited the Appearances section of the Layout Guide as the reason to italicize all titles. Notice how all the titles in this section fall under the first list. I believe the use of italics on all articles is a common mistake due to a majority of titles requiring italics and thus all other titles were written like them. Furthermore, titles are not used for only one section. Any rule dictating them would be in the Manual of Style, not the Layout Guide. And in the Manual of Style, it states, “…we mandate standard American English spelling, grammar, punctuation, and word usage.” So my reasons for putting in quotation marks were justified. I am not the only user who has done this. In conclusion, there are rules supporting my stance and no apparent rules for italicizing all titles. TheAinMAP 01:52, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Since there has been some disagreement on this, I've started a Consensus Track thread, Forum:CT:Italicizing article and short story titles, to sort it out. jSarek 20:21, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

Naboo fruits
I'm not sure that "Naboo fruits" was an unacceptable article: we have a few articles on groups of characters who aren't named and are only distinguishable visually (e.g. Unidentified Rebel commandos, Unidentified Rebel officers, Unidentified Rebel pilots (Arda-2)) If we followed that precedent, an article called "Unidentified Naboo fruits" would be OK, wouldn't it? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:39, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I would disagree and would point out that "plural" articles like this have just as strong a precedent for deletion. I would also point out that these articles seem to be all created by the same person who doesn't seem to be aware of our naming convention precedent that stipulates articles with singular titles. There's no reason why all these Rebel characters, etc., can't have individual articles. It's more laziness on the part of a certain user. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:42, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * However, if you feel it best to put this up for a TC vote to get a definite site consensus on "plural" articles like this, that might be the best approach. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:49, 10 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Might be best for you to TC one of the existing articles instead, rather than undeleting the Naboo fruits article just for it to be TC'd. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 04:07, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, Dan, I don't feel compelled to start a TC for this at all. I don't think I unfairly deleted anything here, and if I had felt it was going to be a matter of debate I would certainly have started a TC to give the community the chance to come to a decision on this. These "plural" articles have been deleted out of hand by me and others in the past, which is the precedent I have previously cited here. If you feel I deleted this too rashly, I do apologize, and I invite you yourself to take this, or a similar article, to a TC in that case. Toprawa and Ralltiir 04:40, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Instead of barging in and challenging Toprawa, perhaps we could simply have figured out what the fruit was. Graestan ( Talk ) 06:18, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for looking that up for us. In that case, I've recreated Naboo fruit (fruit being the plural form of the word, not "fruits,") as a redirect page. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 06:23, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I saw that article: the plural article discussed the other, unidentified fruits in the bowl, though (I guess I'll put some of that in the BTS.) As for "barging in and challenging", I apologize if I came off that way.  I swear I did not wake up yesterday morning and think "I know, I'll go around disagreeing with everything T&R says today!", even though I took the opposite position from you on the TC and the CT yesterday as well... I think the best course would be to split and/or delete the plural articles, since I seem to be the only one who finds them acceptable. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:31, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again
Hey Toprawa, I just wanted to thank you for all the help. You've been a good friend, and have graciously helped me out a great deal. Thanks,  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 22:55, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

XWA
Thanks very much for this. --Eyrezer 10:18, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Re the Executor, we have this battle and this battle. The mission in which Vrad Dodonna runs away - do you think this is the first one, or is it a third battle occurring in the middle? --Eyrezer 12:14, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Executor
Here's a scan from the SW Tech Journal Vol 2 of the Executor-class bridge layout if you're interested in using it for the Executor article. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 15:59, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, JMAS. I'll see if I can't work it in somewhere. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:17, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * One more thing. I notice in your Executor image repository you've got The Art of Star Wars Galaxy: Volume Two under "Notes". Is there anything in particular you're looking for from that source? I own it, so I'd be happy to get anything you need from it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 22:54, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I listed there because I suspect there is something in there (information or a picture or whatever), but I haven't found a copy yet to confirm. If you want to check, that would be great. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:02, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You can scratch it off your list. Just looked through both Vol One and Two of Art of SW Galaxy and there is no mention of Executor or Super Star Destroyer and not a picture to be found. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:26, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Cool. Thanks for looking. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:30, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Here is the SOTE trading card image you requested. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 03:35, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent! My gratitude! Toprawa and Ralltiir 03:40, 15 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Always happy to help out. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 03:45, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Re:
It wasn't a joke. I'm sorry. I was serious. I guess I wasn't aware of one of the FS rules. Mecenarylord 23:37, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Re:Warning
No problem. I read that he said to correct speling mistakes, which I did. I didn't realsie this did not apply to the user page. Darth FatBoy

Bad Edits
I am aware that in the past there have been some bad edits done under my user name. I'll admit that the Oppo Rancisis edit was done by ME. But the edits such as the Wampa one was done by my little brother. When I leave the house he goes on Wookieepedia and tries to edit things.

You have blocked me for three days because of this.

I just want to let you know that I'm here to build Wookieepedia, not destroy it. If in the future I find my brother has been making bad edits, as soon as I find out, I will delete them.

Thanks. C-Man 23:46, 14 February 2009 (UTC)C-Man

Tags
But do obvious things really need a tag? Also, if they do, then is it alright to link to outside websites?Bllasae 01:50, 15 February 2009 (UTC)

Fallen's Fist
In the article Fallen's Fist you erased the name of Okins. Was it not Admiral Okins the Executor commander in 3.5 ABY?
