Questions
Hi I need a name,

I have done a major facelift to the Second Battle of Bakura (Galactic Civil War) article. Can you please have a look through and see if my article is up to standard and whether it is fit enough to be called a Good Article? I put a lot of hard work and effort into it. Feel free to edit it.

go ahead cuz when someone wont let me add the material before deleteing it this is the worest star wars wikia i've seen go ahead and block me

Categories
Hey I need a name. I'm not trying to be a pain, but I have a question for you. What is the difference between Category: Rakghouls and Category: Rakghouls| ? I was under the impression that the first way is the correct one, but I may be wrong and I may may have missed a Wookieepedia policy along the way. I would really appreciate you clearing this up for me. Thanks. * Cylka * 14:07, 16 December 2008 (UTC)
 * The one with the space puts Rakghoul as the first article in the category. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 00:40, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Battle Droids!
Need a name, what do you think about battle droids (any series)? Just wondering. BATTLE DROIDS RULE!!!

Lies, lies, and more lies, also pickles
You can all deny it but we all know Luke and Han Solo's love is real and alive with all the force of the universe. You can delete the article but u can never delete their love. You're just a close minded bigot who will never find true love or understand the true beauty of a child's laughter. Black Power!

I have thought long and hard over what you have said and have glimpsed inside my own soul and i feel confident that i can reveal my true identity. It was fear and personal shame that caused me to deny my true self, but it is finally time to come to terms with who I am. I am a gay Star Wars fan. I feel so empowered after getting that off my chest. My only wish is that Han Solo and Luke Skywalker will someday gain the strength to reveal their love to the greater Star Wars community.

Explanation
Curious to why you removed the book Tales of the Bounty Hunters from the list of apperances for Boba Fett. Owoz 14:08, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * The individual tale(s) from the book should already be listed. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 14:15, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok I see your point... But after inspecting the title of the tale and not seeing it, I will be adding the direct link to the tale. If you see any objection to that please let me know. Owoz 14:22, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

IG-100 MagnaGuard
This is really minor, but what's the deal with the last revert? Aren't appearances meant to be italized? Mauser 13:26, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Not necessarily. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 13:58, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, Wookieepedia is not Wikipedia and here all appearances must be italized per Layout Guide. I put those italics back to where they were. Mauser 14:38, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Er, no. The Layout Guide says nothing about using italics and this isn't just a Wikipedia thing, it's a grammar thing. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 14:44, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I specifically consulted Toprawa about italizations of various short stories and he responded that "those should be italicized. We italicize the examples in the LG for a reason, so that's the policy right there." Mauser 14:52, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, the reason that they're italicised in the LG being that none of the examples used there are short stories. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 14:55, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Your interpretation of the Layout Guide is no more correct than mine, as evidenced by the (non) result of the CT concerning this matter. Imposing that items in Source lists should not be italicized is neither correct or incorrect for our use, since we still have no policy over the matter. Therefore, I will suggest that you not decide for yourself what items should and should not be italicized. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:36, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Removing referencing
Please don't remove referencing from articles, be they self-sourcing or not. While the use of self-sourcing may be debatable in itself because of obviousness/redundancy, it's certainly not wrong. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:33, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Episode titles
Hello! I noticed you changed the episode titles in Dulok to be in quotes rather than italicized. I'm still a bit confused as to which is appropriate, so I was hoping you could point me to some sort of policy or style page where it's spelled out. Is there such an animal? Thanks! ~ SavageBob 00:33, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Duros article
That's for catching whatever it is that happened on the Duros page. I have no idea how I even did that. I saw by your edit summary that it was due to a "stupid wikia 'feature'". What exactly did I do or run my mouse over, or whatever, during my edit that caused that to happen. Would be good to know so I can try to avoid it in the future. Thanks. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 02:48, 20 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I have no idea. I assume it's something to do with Wikia's new category editing thingy, but I haven't been able to reproduce it. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 02:54, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Denal
Hello. You've put the tag in Denal's Bts section. I understand that you want to see it sourced, but honestly, I don't know how. It is just the only reasonable conclusion that can explain his rank discrepancy and that is based on the fact that Denal served under Rex in the TV series, so he couldn't be a commander. Other users seem to think that it's fine, too. Still, if you are not satisfied with it, we can discuss it and I'll appreciate any suggestion on how to source it. Or if we fail to reach a consensus, I may remove this statement altogether. In any way, please respond soon, because this tag is slowing the FA nomination process. Cheers, QuiGonJinn There's always a bigger fish. 20:28, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

Magma trooper
I see you lopped out the entire "behind-the-scenes" bit I put in when I chopped out the "red trooper" stuff. I put that in so someone else wouldn't come along later and put something describng them as red back in. I like how the article stands now, but I do think something about the Magma troopers and red Stormtroopers not being one and the same needs to be in there.

The reason I feel so strongly about it is from seeing the 501st's costume descriptions call Magma troopers red Stormtroopers. And the sheer stubborn resistance to being told otherwise is shocking. I kept having this article quoted or linked at me, even after I'd explained why it wasn't accurate and what the red Stormtroopers really were. InquisitorPeregrinus 20:02, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

Sprot tags
Thanks for tackling the Sprot tags on those articles. For some reason, Wikia just slowed to a snail's pace on me, so even opening the edit pages for them took longer than it took for you to fix them up and save them. jSarek 01:06, 26 March 2009 (UTC)

Quick question
Hi, INAN.

I saw on your user page that you happen to have Star Wars: Galactic Battlegrounds, specifically the Clone Campaigns expansion set. If you get a chance in the coming days, would you be able to let me know any information you could find in that set on Zam Wesell. I've been working on the article for a while (it is currently on a subpage) and have no access to that game otherwise. If not, no big deal. Thanks for your help!

Mind Drinkers!!!
O.K so that's a good point and all, but that still doesn't defuse the fact that this is all a little confusing, but the title in Omen is an already printed and distributed product while Abyss is still not out, are you the one who wrote "Mind Walkers" (which doesn't even make much sense in context) and if so are you absolutely sure without a doubt that this is written on the book? For the sake of all concerned I ask. If you were just contributing to the discussion and have nothing to do with this, then I send my humblest condolences for taking up space on your page.--Darth Niffoc 22:21, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

SFS P-w401 ion maneuvering jet
This page, SFS P-w401 ion maneuvering jet, keeps being moved without just reason. It needs to stop. Other pages that follow this precedent are: SFS-204 sublight ion engine, SFS-CR27200 hypermatter reactor, SFS S/ig-37 hyperdrive. Gethralkin 13:31, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I could not undo the move done on it because the other page existed. That is why I switched the texts. Gethralkin 13:33, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you not paying attention? Read the talk page. Read your messages. Gethralkin 13:39, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Quite frankly, I don't give a fuck which is the correct name or not. What I give a fuck about is when people manage to fail at the mind-numbingly simple task of clicking a button marked 'move' to move a page and instead copy and paste it to a new name, so we end up with bullshit like an article history's being lost in the edit history of a redirect. Already an article at the name you want to move to? Then tag it for deletion and move it when it's been deleted. Not that this was a problem to begin with anyway, because the MediaWiki software allows you to move an article over another one which redirects to it if the latter hasn't been edited since, which was the case here. Of course, that can't be done now, since someone went and edited the redirect article, hence why I've tagged it for deletion so it can be moved properly. I wonder whose fault that is? --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 13:46, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, learn what the word 'vandalism' means. Hint: it doesn't mean any and all edits that you disagree with. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 13:50, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry this has been such a pain for you. Just a reminder, remember that (unfortunately) not all of our users are as versed in the ways of Wookieepedia as you are. Oh, and ignore the NB post. It's not even worth it. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 16:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

Not moves in the technical sense, but merges
Hey, INAN.

If you could, please hold off on tagging things for deletion as they are new articles where the information has yet to be merged. They are not duplicate articles in the purest sense. I'm working on moving these and updating the categories as quickly as possible. If have an issue with this, please see me on IRC as I am no now. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 17:52, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The correct way to move the articles though is to delete the new one, move the old one to its place and then edit the redirect (assuming your intention is to have 2 seperate articles). --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 17:59, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * There is to be only one article, but the information needs to be merged. I am working on doing that now. If they were straight moves, I'd agree and have not said anything. The information that Riff added to the new articles is not in the old timelines. That's why I'm moving them over. Once there, the original articles, which were conjectural in title, could be outright deleted. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 18:02, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, and I am trying to weed out fanon if I see it while moving the relevant information over. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 18:03, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That's still a copy and paste pagemove. If it was revealed tomorrow that Palpatine's first name was Dave and someone made a new article for it, that wouldn't make it OK to redirect the old Palpatine article and copy and paste the info from it into the new one. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 18:15, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying that. I'm saying that there is new information that was posted and it is not a simple move-over-top-some-random-page. I'm working with an administrator on IRC with this right now. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 18:21, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That's exactly what you're doing though.
 * New page is made.
 * Old page on same subject is discovered.
 * Old page is redirected to new page.
 * This is a textbook example of how not to move a page. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 18:36, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * First off, the page was created by someone else and yes, something new was discovered. But, a redirect is not wanted or needed. Also, can you please show me a policy on how to move a page. It may not have been done to your liking, and I apologize for that. Yet, there are other ways to do things. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 19:00, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia:Help:Moving a page, specifically #Page histories. And it's irrelevant who created the new page, it doesn't magically not make it a copy and paste move if you didn't create it. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 19:14, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The issue has been resolved and the pages moved correctly, so there is no need for further discussion of the matter. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 17:16, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Possible vandalism
Hi, I just noticed user Purpillia adding supposed info from The Essential Atlas that I'm not able to find it at all and also strangely combining things (I believe by assumptions) using The Essential Atlas and Star Wars: The Essential Atlas Online Companion as a cover up for his contributions. I may be wrong and also I don't like to accuse anybody, just think moderators should know about that. After all we all want to be wookieepedia source of reliable info and not made up fanon creations, right? Can you please take a closer look on his editings? Thank you.--Jedi Marty 17:24, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't yet have The Essential Atlas, nor am I an admin/moderator. It'd probably be better to just ask Purpilia himself where in the Atlas he's getting the info from. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 17:28, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

Inexpugnable
Hello Name. Thanks for helping me with the Inexpugnable-class tactical command ship article. I've been working on that through the KOTOR Wookieeproject to make it Featured. But I'm new to this, and so I'm glad you a) switched my occasional Canadian english to American english and b) reordered the sources so they're in chronological order.

Clone names
That's the way it's supposed to be done. If you have an issue with it, please take it to a CT instead of turning this into a senseless edit war.  CC7567  (talk) 22:39, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * And someone once singlehandedly changed all the articles on songs so that the names were italicised. Doesn't mean its right. The character is called, not  , thus only   should be in bold. Same goes for any other articles which erroneously bold the grammar when it's not part of the name. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 22:48, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Then take it to a CT instead of taking the time to explain it to me. The established precedent is going to stay the way it is until others start to share your reasoning.  CC7567  (talk) 22:55, November 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * WP:MOS already states to bold the name, which quote marks and commas aren't part of (in this case, at least). --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 00:12, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Xenomorph
In that case, we should likely delete the article entirely, or at best denote it "non-canon" instead of "ambiguously canon". InQuest isn't a LucasFilm source, and "Xenomorphs" do not show up in "Coruscant Nights II". The novel uses the word "xenomorph", but it means something different and is not referring to this creature. I mentioned it on the Coruscant Nights II talk page. I'm totally willing to be reasonable on this, I'm not just trying to edit for the sake of editing. But let's at least be sane about it. :) Xenomrph 22:12, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Reversion
Hi. I am just wondering why you reverted my edit? I merely added the length from the description into the infobox. - Nistra Talk 00:22, December 1, 2009 (UTC) Care to answer?

Quarren Isolation League
Any explanation for your reversion of Quarren Isolation League? If you're assuming something, don't bother putting it in the infobox.Hntr.peters 00:56, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not assuming anything. I'm reverting the promotion of assumptions to "facts". --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 00:58, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * What do you suppose their language and capital are if they're Quarren? Also, Tikkes would be Head of Government, not Head of State. I also added B1 battle droid and Quarren Isolation League droid carrier to the list. Why did you remove those? On a different note, is there a page for mutated Nelvaanians?
