Great Job!
Holy crap I just noticed you had about 41,000 edits! Thats about the amount of articles on Wookieepedia itself. Keep up the good work! BTW: You might want to get a new userbox saying you have over 40,000 edits. I'll put up a proposal. :) Roron Corobb  Talk  00:29, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Celebration IV
I know that you believe that people here at Wookiee dislike you so much that it would warrant you to not attend C4 in May. However as our largest contributor to our site and an admin nonetheless, you are still welcome to help us in our venture at C4. I don't have anything personal with you and that whole subpage matter is now in the past. I would much appreciate it if you can make the trip out there and have fun with us and/or represent us at our table. :) -- Riffsyphon1024 07:34, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm glad you think the issue is in the past because last time I checked the page was still there. I also am glad that you don't bear anything personal against me, because I do seem to recall that you voted both for keeping the aforementioned page and for removing me as an admin. Given the huge amount of time, effort, and money I have poured into this site only to constantly be considered somewhere between a fifth column and a petty vandal, I'm very hard-pressed to consider spending an even larger amount of money and time in going to represent us at C4, especially since it seems to me the only reason I'm wanted to badly is because so few other admins/major users have decided to go. Kuralyov 03:23, 10 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I will be going now as well as jSarek, and a few other users however those other users may not help us two out. Regardless, you are the epitome of the hard-working user. Though we've had our days and things went bump in the night, I feel that connecting at C4 will bring our community together more than ever. I would be delighted in meeting my fellow Wookieepedians at the greatest event this side of the galaxy. --  Riffsyphon  1024 04:13, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

New Articles
Hey Kura good to see you again. Those articles were made as stubs per the request of another admin in the IRC channel. I intended to go back and add sources after i finished making them. Sorry for the trouble. HappyTimeHarry 03:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * As soon as i find sources. HappyTimeHarry 03:59, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry- it was partially my fault and definitely my idea. They'll all be fixed and sourced soon. We're working on it in IRC. Again, sorry about the trouble. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 04:00, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

A question...
Just wondering Kuralyov, were you the first user on Wookieepedia? If not, who was? Thanks. Unit 8311 16:41, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey now Kura. Who is useless? Chad may not be here, but you must see that I have done a good share of the wikibuilding. --  Riffsyphon  1024 19:01, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hyperdrive generator problem
McEwok saw fit to twice change information on the I-a2b solar ionization reactor page. The Star Wars Technical Journal has a reference to the ISD having the largest single hyperdrive generator, but the Death Star I schematic from SW:ICS shows individual hyperdrive generators similar to the ones seen elsewhere in the ICS line of books, lining the DS interior (I added their cross-section pictures to the DS I article, and they show that each one is much longer than one whole ISD). In size they are consistent with the rest of the generators and reactors inside the Death Star, i.e. much larger than on a small ship like a Star Destroyer. Unfortunately, some people have problems with ships sporting more impressive equipment in canon.

The first time, I asked him not to revert the passage I rewrote, that said the ISD's hyperdrive is one of the single largest, not actually the largest (which is from older sources), and warned that I'd tell an admin if it happened again. Now he's done it twice in a row and this is the second time he's actively changed or removed canon information (first time was on Utapau military some weeks back), and I want someone with authority to tell him to stop. Incidentally, I think his insistence on making ship equipment not bigger than on an ISD stems from the Trekkie-like belief that any advanced and small piece of equipment can be "modified" or "fine-tuned" to be 1000% more effective, which is not true. It's like suggesting one private motorboat's engine can be reworked to power a cruise ship. VT-16 18:58, 1 February 2007 (UTC) EDIT: He removed the context of this explicit line on the Utapau page and caused it to be locked.

"The Trade Federation protects its position in remote galactic regions by placing embargoes on arms sales to planetary governments. As a result, Utapauns rely upon self-made, downscaled ships - their biggest anti-pirate Rendili Dreadnaught is one-fifth the size of a Trade Federation Battleship."

- Revenge of the Sith: Incredible Cross-Sections, page 22

I would like it opened again and revert it to the way it was. VT-16 23:06, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Source request
I've been sourcing Pre-Republic era and came across two bits that I didn't know the source for that you added; I was wondering if you could tell me or just add them to the article. Specifically, the bit about the Expansionist Era being the last part of the Pre-Republic era, and the "dark knights" that the lancer droids are associated with. - Lord Hydronium 07:53, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool find on the dark knights. Thanks. - Lord Hydronium 23:23, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Fodurant
Greetings, I´ve read you changed Fodurant article writing that it was "extremely inhospitable". The planet only appears two times mentioned in the paragraphs of two books, and I don´t find where is that said. Sources would help a lot.

Also, it seems that another planet, Fondurant, is a extended typo of Fodurant. If you know something about it please let me know in Votes for deletion/Fondurant. Thanks. --Palpatine81 22:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Imperial Palace
Hi there. Was curious as to your edit back in September that went way out of left field describing a 'slaughter' of Imperials from New Republic forces. Specifically those that state they killed every person in there "regardless of innocence". I've looked over several sources, including Wedge's Gamble, and there's NO evidence to support these claims. Would you care to elaborate and, more importantly, show any evidence you may have beyond anti NR bias? mikal768

Specifically, here http://starwars.wikia.com/index.php?title=Imperial_Palace&diff=715053&oldid=700887 Note there are no new sources backing the claim up in this edit.

Help please!
Hi, this is PacifistPrime. I haven't been using Wookieepedia for a while, and when I tried to log in again I couldn't re-access my account, because I couldn't remember my password (at first) and when I requested that it be sent to the email address attached to that account, I realised that that email account was now defunct (although I have since re-instated it). Anyway, my point is that in the interim I created a new Wookieepedia account under the username "mace'sbigblackcock" and was promptly blocked by you, it seems. Apparently that name violates some (rather puritanical) decency clause in your rules, but that's okay, I don't want to argue the toss. However, due to the block I could neither ask for help to be unblocked, nor could I create a new, less offensive username for some reason. When I finally got my old PacifistPrime account working again, I STILL couldn't edit because now my whole I.P. Address (220.239.53.31.) is blocked. So, I have no problem abandoning the "mace'sbigblackcock" username, but can you please unblock my IP address so I can get back to using my old address. Needless to say, I'm currently writing this from another computer, as it's the only way I could get the ability to edit again. Please let me know what you can do. Thanks, PacifistPrime

Acheron (river)

Huttese Porn
Hey :D After seeing your reference to "Huttese pornography" on the List of sexual references in Star Wars, I was about to create a pornography article, but after performing a text search on the source, i couldn't find it :-( Could you possibly help me track it down, or let me know where you got the info from? Thanks. --Azizlight 11:28, 11 March 2007 (UTC)

Another sourcing question
I'm sourcing Ulic Qel-Droma, and there's a few items in the BtS whose source I don't know. I saw you added this part, so I thought you might be able to help: "However, starting with Dark Lords of the Sith, Veitch began changing his plans, first by including Exar Kun after hearing of Kevin J. Anderson's plans to use an ancient Sith Lord for his Jedi Academy Trilogy, and then by co-authoring Dark Lords of the Sith with him. Anderson would go on to write The Sith War and Redemption on his own, thus further changing Veitch's original plans. Veitch came to resent the intrusion, and claimed 'Ulic Qel-Droma was taken [from me] and butchered.'" - Lord Hydronium 06:29, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Great Droid Revolution
Hi. Upon examining the editting history of the Great Droid Revolution, I noticed that you added an infobox that said that it was part of the Old Sith Wars. I was curious to know what your source for this was. There seems to be some dispute over this. A discussion has been started over this at the Senate Hall at Forum:Old Sith Wars if you're interested in replying. Have a good one! ~ Jaywin

Kuralyov, I flubbed on spelling the word "galactic". Can you please edit it and have it redirect to the correct spelling for my new article on the Galactic Alliance support ship? AdmiralNick22 00:55, 29 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Can you provide a page ref? I've seen the twin ref on other sites but not been able to confirm it myself. I've just done a search through an electronic version of Star By Star for the word twin and none were in ref to the Rars. --Eyrezer 23:13, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

Hmm...?
You added a reference here; just wondering what this was specifically in reference to?! --McEwok 10:43, 23 April 2007 (UTC)

Re: Formatting
You wrote: "Please use proper formatting when making articles. You've been here long enough to know what that should be." Not necessarily. I rarely - if ever - start new articles from scratch; I add to existing articles. This is probably my second ground-up article, maybe my third. In two years. The rest of that time was for existing articles, hardly a lot of time to get acquainted with issues I don't deal with in a day-to-day basis. You don't like what I did, fine: by all means, reformat it to your liking. But please don't make assumptions about me and then rub my nose in it when they don't come to pass as you expect them to.

Proposition

 * Sorry if this message comes to you at a bad time, I not you are on vacation. If it bothers you, I do not intend it to do so. I saw that you are co-wookeepedian of the month and have over 50k edits. I run a wiki myself on the topic of Jediism. The url is http://jedi.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. Now, this wiki is specifically not for those out there wishing to wield light sabers or have force powers. This wiki is for people who are serious about the spiritual ideologies represented in the Star Wars movies and books. My point in saying all of this is....our wiki really needs help. There are only two or three people who contribute regularly. If you would not mind, I would really appreciate you looking at the wiki and, if nothing else, giving me your advice. Thank you very much. May the Force guide your Way.

A heads up on Illustrated SW Universe vandalism
I've been forced to revert vandalism committed by McEwok on four seperate articles, related to the Illustrated SW Universe book. Apparently, his personal opinion decides what canon says. He did something similar on the Utapau page several months ago, and if that wasn't enough I hope his latest infractions (they appear to go in cycles with him, some months off and then it's back on again), will have him punished in some manner. My patience with this user disappeared long ago. VT-16 16:27, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * At least it's been monitored now, I think that might be it. For now. VT-16 16:47, 27 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Just to let Kuralyov know that I saw his note here, and thus VT's comments above. The discussion seems to be taking place in this talk thread, so that's where I'm handling it. --McEwok 18:42, 27 May 2007 (UTC)

A question
Hi. I just wanted to ask you a question... Well, a little bit of backstory. I was reading the article on Magister Hal, and as he seemed to have potential for inclusion in a fanfic (yes, I'm utterly insane), I did a bit of research on him. I got Rogue Planet, Destiny's Way, and The Unifying Force, and used the computer to search for keywords such as the surname Hal, the word Magister, and stuff like that. As I haven't read any of those books all the way through, I might have missed it, but nowhere did I read that he had been a Jedi student. So I checked his article's edit history and found out that you had written that (in August 2006, so it was quite a while ago). I decided to come and ask you what your source for that was, because it seems like that would be quicker than reading three books. So here I am! :-)

Yes, he was wearing the signet ring of a Padawan, but his father had been a Padawan before leaving the Order. Someone, I think his daughter, said that only a Magister could wear that ring, which could be taken to imply that it was passed down. So he could very well have gotten it from his father; he didn't necessarily have to be a Jedi himself. If you know of anywhere else that said he had been trained as a Jedi, please tell me and I'll go pester someone else instead. :-) Thank you! --76.5.175.8 04:39, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I believe it was something Obi-Wan said in Rogue Planet. I remember thinking at the time that it didn't make much sense. Kuralyov 15:20, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Like I said up there, I haven't read Rogue Planet all the way through - just searched for stuff pertaining to the first two Magisters - but was it this that you found?

Because if this was it, then it was talking about the first Magister, not the unnamed second one. Or maybe it was this one: ''Sticking out between two large carved stones was an arm, most of the flesh gone now. On one finger gleamed a thick steel ring set with a pentangle of small red stones. Anakin recognized one of the old signet rings once handed out to Jedi apprentices.'' If that was the one, then like I said above, his father had been an apprentice, so he could easily have gotten it from him. --Crazy Jedi Girl 15:35, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
