Source sign up
If you are participating in the project, and wish to contribute, please put your name by the sources you possess. This will better allow us to see what sources we need to check, and in dividing the article up for separate users to edit. More than one person can put their name down for the same thing.

Section sign up
Below, sign up for the sections you wish to work on. Most likely, these will be for sub sections. You can also sign up for a specific part of a source, such as Thrawn's participation in the Battle of the Bilbringi system. The subsections currently in the article will be added below, and if your desired section falls under one, sign up underneath it and state the part of the section you will be working on. Please note that all the sections we will first work on are those in the Biography, and the Legacy section. The introduction will be written last, while the P&T and the BTS will be written after the biography. As you go through your sources, it is advised to add facts that you find important to the P&T note page, and the BTS one.

P&T note page
Below, please add any important facts you find when perusing sources. They will help us greatly when creating the P&T later on. Also, please add the source they came from.


 * Thrawn spoke in hard, cold voice, using short and precise sentences. Even when his eyes seemed to glow in anger, his tone remained calm.


 * Thrawn was a sincere defender of the Imperial cause. When Tash Arranda confronted him and accused the Empire of being evil, Thrawn took the time to explain her his point of view, according to which the Empire was a legitimate, no-nonsense government that kept billions of beings fed and clothed everyday. He also said that the Empire was not constantly plotting to harm people, and the rebellious civilians who thought it did were being overly dramatic. For his part, Thrawn stated that he would never use the information he had learned from studying a people's art against them unless it became necessary.


 * As proved during his encounter with Tash Arranda, Captain Thrawn regarded arrogant behavior to be mildly amusing. He would show much tolerance to younglings who addressed him in a defiant tone, although he still would warn them to watch their tone in his presence, lest they wanted to face the consequences.


 * Thrawn was disgusted at how the New Order destroyed itself after the Battle of Endor, in the wake of Palpatine's death.


 * Thrawn believed that symbols such as the 501st Legion were valuable.

BTS note page
Below, please add any important facts you find when perusing sources. They will help us greatly when creating the BTS later on. Also, please add the source they came from.
 * The Force Unleashed Campaign Guide says that Thrawn is an Admiral during the Dark Times, which conflicts with him being a captain in Star Wars Galaxies.
 * Thrawn received miniatures in Star Wars Miniatures: Universe and Star Wars Miniatures: Imperial Entanglements.
 * Star Wars Miniatures: Universe: He is referred to as a Grand Admiral but the miniature lacks the gold epaulets.
 * Star Wars Miniatures: Imperial Entanglements: His miniature has a Grand Admiral uniform without gold epaulets.
 * Star Wars Miniatures: Imperial Entanglements: Artwork of Thrawn appeared on one of the three types of booster artwork
 * The Essential Guide to Warfare seems to think that Thrawn came back in 9 ABY, although he actually came back in 8 ABY.
 * The Heir to the Empire Sourcebook has Thrawn only possessing five Star Destroyers, while Warfare has him having twelve, though only six are fully loyal to him.
 * Warfare has a total of 287 asteroids, imaginary or real, orbiting Coruscant, while The Last Command has 286 asteroids. This article assumes that Warfare is wrong because it is not the original.

General Discussion

 * Please refrain for editing the article just yet. We first need to obtain a game plan, and sort out who is going to do what. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 19:25, June 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Please check out Forum:SH:Getting those big articles to status for the latest update. It is important. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 23:52, June 11, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, the first thing I suggest we do is look through the source list on GT's notepad and find the sources he didn't get to (the ones not crossed out), and the ones not on the list entirely. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 12:49, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * Here is a list: (I just included the one from the appearances list, since GT did not start on the sources section.)-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  13:44, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * K, thanks. We should sign our names like we did above to see who has what. After we check all of the appearances, and have added the new info to the article, we can check for sources. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 16:26, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * We'll use a forum to request info from sources we don't have. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 16:58, June 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've just made a few notes for the P&T while reading Galaxy of Fear: The Swarm. Can I just put them in the appropriate section yet? --LelalMekha (talk) 21:32, June 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Could you put them in the above section, where it says P&T notes? That would be great. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 21:44, June 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Additionally, feel free to check the sources listed in the sources section above, and add any pertinent info you find to the main article. Remember to cross off the source when you have completed that. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 23:58, July 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * Once you checked a source, and either added all pertinent info to the article, or discovered that there isn't any, please cross the source out. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 14:44, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

Details from RPG sources

 * How detailed information we are going to want from old RPG books? I'm mainly thinking about (random) plot hooks, which are mostly meant to be used freely by GMs. Do we really want to hunt down every single one of those? (Personally I'm mainly thinking for the stuff found in Stock Ships, but I bet there are many other similar things in other books.)--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 21:05, June 29, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'm not 100% sure, but I think that plot hooks need to be included in a decent amount of detail in featured articles. Here are some examples of how it has been handled in the past: Roark Garnet, Coh Veshiv, and O'reenian. I do not think that there will be too many of these hooks that include Thrawn, but I guess there could be.-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  23:24, June 29, 2013 (UTC)

Questions

 * Does anyone know where 9 ABY starts in the main article? Its not linked to anywhere, and its, according to Warfare, the date when Thrawn makes his presence know to the Moffs, and when he is put in the charge of a fleet that was destroyed at Endor. However, this fleet includes the Chimaera, so the 9 ABY date might be mistaken, and supposed to be 8 ABY. Any thoughts? 501st  dogma ( talk ) 11:37, July 13, 2013 (UTC)
 * According to The Essential Reader's Companion, "The search for Killik Twilight" section occurs during 8 ABY. The Essential Atlas places the raid on Obroa-skai at the start of his campaign in 9 ABY. The stuff in between is just Thrawn's plan, so it probably did not occur at a specific time. Since Thrawn is with the Chimaera in Tatooine Ghost, which occurs in 8 ABY, I would think that we could say that the 9 ABY date for his return is a mistake, and add a note to the BTS when we write it. It seems like there is going to be a lot of things for an inconsistencies section.-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  20:24, July 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * Added note to BtS section above. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 00:20, July 21, 2013 (UTC)
 * I've run into another problem. According to this - "The Chimaera was to serve as the flagship and one of five Star Destroyers in Thrawn's armada...", Thrawn has five destroyers. However, Warfare has it as six. Should I add that to the article, and overrule the old info? 501st  dogma ( talk ) 16:08, July 14, 2013 (UTC)
 * Seems like you can use the Warfare information and perhaps add a BTS note mentioning the discrepancy when we write it.-- Exiled Jedi  Oldrepublic crest.svg (Greetings)  20:24, July 20, 2013 (UTC)
 * K, added to article. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 00:20, July 21, 2013 (UTC)
