Hey!
Hey Cylka! It's good to see that you're back! How's everything been?--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 16:29, February 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Because of your extended abscence, I had actually been planning to ask Kasra to take Project Lead at least temporarily. Are you planning on becoming active again? If so, then there's no need. SoresuMakashi ( Everything I tell you is a lie  the truth  ) 23:01, February 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Welcome back, Cylka!  OLIOSTER  (talk) 19:47, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Glad to hear that everything's settled down, thanks for the congrats. Yeah, got six of them, five under WP:KotOR, so any reviews, especially on Malak and Karath, would be greatly appreciated, to get them moving. And yeah, I agree with the fact that we can concentrate on updating the articles. I'm working a little on Rohlan Dyre and Demagol's articles, but those will have to come another day. I've been frequently working with Master Jonathan, who does copy-edits for me, and have got six more articles I wanna nom for the FA's. Still, I'm glad you're back, and let me know if you need any help with anything. If you're willing, I actually would like your help with a couple things.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 19:54, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * And until I figure out how to sign my username up on the IRC, I won't be able to attend any future WP:KotOR meetings, unfortunately.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 19:58, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link, I'll try it later. Can you give a pre-nom review for Ferroh and Jorak Uln? I want to try to ensure that nothing is missed when I am able to nominate them. Also, are you able to upload images?--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 20:11, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Long time, no see, Cylka. Good to see you back!  Nayayen &mdash; TALK  20:13, February 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for agreeing to do the reviews, can't wait to get the last issue tomorrow. The images, do you have the CSWE?--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 01:06, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * I needed a scan of Koffi Arana's image and a scan of Melik Galerha's image. If you can, I'd also appreciate the image of Galerha's lightsaber from the lightsaber gallery, but it's not essential. Do you have Star Wars: Purge, by any chance?--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 01:25, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 01:32, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * That's fine, I'm in no big rush. I appreciate your help. By the way, I was wondering if you got my message about Darth Traya and the fact that she used a green saberstaff?--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 01:48, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I know Darth Culator has the CSWE, but does anybody else? Not that I won't ask Culator, just that he doesn't answer his talk page much.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 00:34, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
My friend,

How I've missed thee! —Tommy 9281  ( Mechno-chair ) 00:17, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I remember that. All is well, and it is good to have you back around. We have email between us (by which I didn't want to bother you while you were otherwise occupied), so we'll chat a little more soon. —Tommy 9281 Mechnochair negwt.jpg ( Mechno-chair ) 00:48, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome back, and thanks!
Hey Cylka, I'm sure you've heard this multiple times already, but it's great to have both our Project Leader and friend back! I also need to express my gratitude for the award; I never expected to receive recognition for my modest contributions, but it's always nice to know that my work is appreciated and that I've made a difference. On another note, I think you'll be pleased to here that my FAN for good old HK-47 has been coming along quite nicely with all of my attention devoted to it. This time I'll be sure to see it through. Once again, thank you and it's great to have you back! JethLordMaster  (Xia Order) 01:49, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Kreia's lightsaber
OK, it's added. Actually, this image establishes that Kreia used a saberstaff during her adventures with the Exile, the figure has only one hand. The game portrayed Traya with multiple colors in the end? I have the Xbox version, and she's got three violet sabers.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 02:26, February 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Alright then, I'll add that to the BTS later. Guess LFL decided to use the Xbox version for Traya's sabers. I gotta get going, talk to you more later.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 02:39, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Malak's name
I wanted to ask you this, should I replace all references to "Squinquargesimus" to "Alek"? Even on here, John Jackson Miller states that Alek was his only name. Below's an excerpt from the questions asked on his blog&hellip;


 * ''Conrad asks: Were there any events that made you go "What was I thinking?" after the fact?


 * Well, I've said before I wish I'd left the name on Malak's immigration records a mystery — it was probably enough that we understood that he felt no connection to the identity he was given (and thus more apt to select a new name for himself). I only ever intended for the tongue-twister to be out there briefly before we revealed it wasn't his real name — but those few months before #31 were enough for it to wind up in a couple of reference works. A couple of years now after we've established his name was only ever Alek, the surname is still online as the main one at a few sites; hopefully they'll all be properly revised. Hard to unring a bell with the Internet around!

Anyway, I think that I should, but wanted to get your word on this matter before I changed anything.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 14:11, February 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Miller has also said this in his production notes for a couple issues. I'm thinking we should, since Miller is the one who created the storyline, and he knows best.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 14:22, February 19, 2010 (UTC)

Templates
Thanks, I will doing that for the disambiguation pages. I forgot that.--Station7 22:28, February 20, 2010 (UTC)

BTC/ATC, and the BBY years
I was curious if you think we should add the BTC/ATC years in KotOR-related article's infoboxes. I've left Darth Trayus a message about this as well, since he has done a lot of articles related to TOR. Since the KotOR WookieeProject subject material is related to this, I don't think it would hurt, (especially since the site's got the timeline and all) but just wanted to get a few people's opinions on this before anyone did anything.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 14:09, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Milady,

By chance, will we happen upon each other in IRC some time soon? —Tommy 9281  ( Mechno-chair ) 02:23, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Tomorrow it will most likely be, then. I won't be around until about 11pm EST. —Tommy 9281 Mechnochair negwt.jpg ( Mechno-chair ) 02:37, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Image for Demagol
I'll be starting a discussion for a new image for Demagol on the WP:KOTOR forums. Before I start the actual forum, I've uploaded this image (third try), and I'd like your opinion on it.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 00:57, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Assistance
Hey Cylka,

I am in need of your assistance with Freedon Nadd, when you have time. I'm not that well-versed in KOTOR2 at all (having only played it through once in its entirety) and I need an expert to add the necessary information to his article. As with our other project, this will count as a notch on the belt for both of us and our respective Wookieeprojects respectively. There is no rush, nevermind the inuse tag, and thanks in advance. —Tommy 9281  ( Mechno-chair ) 00:26, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Advice
I was wondering if I could get your advice on something. Should I ask the Inqs to remove the Malak and Karath noms? I've been struggling with this, because I don't want to do it since I want to get these guys passed on the first try. On the other hand, other Inqs don't want to review them because they feel both articles are unstable noms, due to future sources. Both will have Malak in them for sure, and I'm not so sure if Karath will be included in these, but we can't discount the possibility. And because of the reluctance to review, they are taking room on the page, and all that. If I were to ask to remove them, I could always re-nominate them once those sources are released. I'd really appreciate whatever help you could give.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 20:10, February 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, then. As much as it does hurt, please go ahead and remove them. You're right about the other articles, such as Nord, Shasa, and Wynn. Also, just to let you know, I started the forum about Demagol's main image on the KotOR project page. Speaking of which, I think I got all your objections to Wynn. Would you mind reviewing the Sha Koon article when you get the chance? And thank you for your advice. Once those sources are released and I've added the relevant info to Malak and Karath, I'll ask you to give me a pre-nom review of each.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 20:47, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Re:
Ah, I see, thanks for informing me :-) Xd  19:44, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

hi how you doing your a very good editor! you turned wookiepedia into a awesome site in just the last few hours!

Korriban zombie
Hey, sorry about that. I hasn't noticed the template. Fortunately, all I changed was the appearances and not the main content, so hopefully I didn't interfere too badly. Will keep an eye out for such templates later. Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith  -Just shy, not antisocial: You can talk to me!- 13:02, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Spelling
Which spelling I should be using? British English or American English? My two language dictionary uses American spelling but spell-chekcer on my computer uses British. (Mostly problem right now is spelling "defense/defence" in Celchu Trial). Originally I used British spelling of the word, chekced with my dictionary and "corrected" everything to American version. Help...?--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 22:15, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'm not very good at figuring out which form is "more American" since dialects and accents are not really my speciality. I think I use more American forms (my teachers really hate that here in England) but I cannot make the difference. Lucky I didn't change the spelling of defense according my spell-checker since now I would be very angry with myself. I hope I can find someone to do American spell-check on the article at some point but not yet since there is other things to fix.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 22:35, March 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * That would be great. I study English Language myself but Literature is my main subject so I know more about sonnets and poetry than language variants. I tend to do less grammatical mistakes when I write in English and don't try to translate from Finnish as I did with the Trial. But I'm quite fluent translating English to Finnish.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 22:46, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Kane Griggs
Hey Cylka, I just wanted to remind you that you can use your Inqvote to count as an AC vote for the Kane Griggs GAN. Cheers,  CC7567  (talk) 06:46, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, to clarify, yes, three AC votes are needed out of the five total. Within those three "AC" votes, however, at least one has to be an AC vote; the other two can be from Inqs or ACs, as stated under Rule 4 of the "How to vote" section on the GAN page. So technically, your vote will count toward the three required AC votes, whether you're an AC or an Inq. Hope that helps. :)  CC7567  (talk) 07:06, March 3, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Demagol image
OK thanks. Now that Sha Koon has been approved for the FA's, I can nominate one of the six I've got lined up. I'm gonna switch things up and nominate Koffi Arana, but of course would appreciate your pre-nom review first.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 13:36, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

RE: CSWE
Hey Cylka,

Magda's all set. Funny how little details like that can get all kriffed up. —Tommy 9281 14:09, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Grunta GAN
Please try to check your objections to the Grunta GAN when you get the chance; approval is pending the conclusion of your review. Thanks.  CC7567  (talk) 20:19, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for the entries
Thank you very much for the entries, I know it must have been a hassle to look all of those up. Bonbondoodle 02:38, 15 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Again, thank you so much for the entries. Bonbondoodle 18:54, 18 March 2010 (UTC)

Svivreni
Cylka, could I trouble you for a review of Svivreni? --Eyrezer 07:42, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re: FAs and GAs

 * Hi. I fully understand what you're saying and the reasoning behind it. Feel free to revert the edits I made concerning the placement of the SIW battles. I feel the need to tell you, though, that my sourcing came from the 'Battles of the Sith-Imperial War' box at the bottom of those pages, and I was following the order as set out by that piece of information. As a side note, the inclusion of the asterisk's was for visual appeal and cohesiveness. Thanks for telling me; I won't make the same mistake again. SingAurraSing 04:13, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Don't understand
i'm afraid i don't understand the format and all... and plus, if i'm stuck with writing little backwater articles (i have only written two, Sweet-sand cookies and spectrum) that no one cares to read, then i won't write... especially if it's detrimental to wookieepedia. i don't want someone to have to go around fixing my stuff... i'll put my two-bits in every now and then, but enough article writing for me. thanks for catching me in time.Senatorial Aide Van Ishkoh 16:37, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Ok Thanks Will Have A Look At That. Darthjack 20:31, March 18, 2010 (UTC)

My FAN
Hello Cylka. Through the KOTOR Wookieeproject, I put up Inexpugnable-class tactical command ship as a FAN. It just received its third INQ supporter. As the lead for Wookieeproject KOTOR, I'm hoping to get your support as well! Thank you! Taral, Dark Lord of the Sith  -Just shy, not antisocial: You can talk to me!- 19:55, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

thank you
thanks for spotting the mistake i made on the Rattaka page. Is your profile picture from KOTOR? please respond on my talk page. --Jacensolo148 14:00, March 24, 2010 (UTC)Jacensolo148

"Speculative answers"
You mentioned speculative answers in the conversation here. It felt like a stab into my heart after I posted this. Right now I'm completely at loss what I should do about the problem. Please, help.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 21:54, March 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * That would be a great help. And thanks for clarifying what you meant by "speculative answers". I have only limited number of sources and I have partly been using the other articles to point the way. The two major sources (Star Wars Empire: Darklighter and Galaxy Guide 3: The Empire Strikes Back) I have been able to get my hands on, as well as the article about Biggs Darklighter in The Essential Guide to Characters, but it has lead me to the reading I present in the article. I appreciate all the help you can give and thanks again.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 22:12, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

I'm confused
Why were my changes removed? I did cite evidence as to why I made the change, and I'm hardly the only to notice it. I'd say it's pretty damn obvious at this point.
