Brigian
Hey. I had a look at the Star Wars Encyclopedia and The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia and they both have separate entries for Brigia and Briggia. It's Briggia that appears in X-wing. I don't know whether it was a typo when they made the game or if they intended it to be a different planet, but I guess they are now anyway. I've split the article and fixed any links as appropriate. Green Tentacle (Talk) 20:53, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Thanks. I checked with Jason though, and he confirmed that the Atlas treated them as the same place. Now, we're in trouble :P --Eyrezer 21:28, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * That being the case, I'll hold off on getting you to dig up info from the game for me for a bit. --Eyrezer 21:45, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Freedon Nadd
Hey, Eyr,

There's an anon who keeps making poor-quality edits to Freedon Nadd. Do you mind protecting the article please, especially since it's up for FAN? Thanks, —Tommy 9281 21:46, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. --Eyrezer 21:51, August 5, 2010 (UTC)

Ravilan
Thank you very much for your review and support of Ravilan. Naturally, it was most appreciated! :) I am glad you liked it. —Obi–wan Jacobi   ( Talk ) 01:39, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I heard a rumor the other day that you might be a fellow Kiwi. --Eyrezer 02:25, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey Eyre, thanks for adding EC to all my old votes. I didn't realize I could apply the EC vote retroactively as well, but you cleared that up for me. Thanks. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 01:24, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I know we've done it with Inq votes so before, so I can't see why it would be any different for the CAN. --Eyrezer 02:06, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Template use on Lontar
Hey Eyre. Rather than revert you or make an objection on the GAN page, I thought I'd let you know that this change you made on Lontar from Quote to Dialogue templates is incorrect for two speakers per Forum:CT Archive/Quotations. Cheers, Grunny  ( talk ) 05:23, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I made the change following a request in IRC :) --Eyrezer 07:58, August 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * No worries, just thought you'd see a talk page post quicker than a note on the nom page :). Grunny  ( talk ) 08:05, August 10, 2010 (UTC)

Kloperian
Hey, Eyrezer: Rather than strike my support and object, I thought I'd mention something that caught my attention. "The Kloperians were referred to by Rusch as "it." This may be because the species did not have the typical male/female genders, although at one point, reference is made to "wives." " Comes off as too speculative. I understand the meaning of it, but I would like to see this watered down so it doesn't sound like speculation. The whole "this may be" thing and the "typical...genders" made me cringe. For some reason, I didn't notice it earlier, but happened to see it today. Thanks. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 20:22, August 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll take another look at it, but it is actually through paying close attention to the source material that I have made this comment in the BTS. --Eyrezer 00:10, August 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * How does it look now? --Eyrezer 00:13, August 22, 2010 (UTC)

The Fooians of Foo
Hey, Ey. I'm working on Pashvi, and I want to establish that the Pashvi system is their home system, despite the fact that no source explicitly says as much. I know you've done this in a few articles, quoting Jason Fry's statement that when the Atlas mentions a Foo system, it is intended to be the home of the Foo species. I can't find any article where you've done this, though. Can you point me to one so I can link up the Pashvi and the Pashvi system? Thanks! ~ SavageBob 23:04, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL. I had made a start on the Pashv myself. Great minds think alike, or else they are the sole occupants of a grid! That said, please go ahead. Haserian and Kauronian are two examples where I have done this. --Eyrezer 23:16, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I figure I don't want to go over three FANs at a time, so I was looking for something that might be CA territory, and they are one of the sole inhabitants of that square... :) Thanks for the links; I've updated the article with your text. ~ SavageBob 03:21, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Arkudan
Hey, Ey. Did you mean to remove Arkudan from the Coordinate Challenge map? They seem to be located at Q-6, unless their homeworld article is incorrect. ~ SavageBob 13:30, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmm. They are at Q-6, only they share that grid with the Mizx, which are a GA. No? --Eyrezer 13:32, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Correct, but until now, we've been lumping all species for which we have FAs, GAs, and CAs, even at the expense of losing a link to whichever one is the highest-level article. In other words, we've been sacrificing a quick link in favor of having as complete a representation of our "featured" species as possible on the map, so Arkudan and Mizx have to learn to share. :) We could change this, but I'd like to see some way to maintain the information of which species are not on the map, if we do. ~ SavageBob 13:40, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, but my point was more that I didn't remove them from the map at all. They are there now... --Eyrezer 13:43, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * Um. Well, then. I seem to have misread the side-by-side comparison of your change. Nothing to see here, move along, move along... :O ~ SavageBob 13:46, September 5, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I was experimenting with Tyber over different ways to represent progress on the grids. One option was to use two triangular images -- one in the top left and one in the bottom right to show when Phase I and Phase II are complete. We couldn't get the two triangles to link to separate articles though. --Eyrezer 13:51, September 5, 2010 (UTC)

Revwiens in CSWE
Hey, Ey, I noticed you hadn't included any information from the CSWE in the Revwien expansion, so here's some info for ya: There doesn't appear to be an entry for Revyia, Tyia or Thuwisten. Anything else you think might mention them? ~ SavageBob 00:40, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Revwien A species of ambulatory intelligent plants from Revyia, a world located on the outer fringes of the Outer Rim Territories. The philosophy of Tyia was widely adopted by Revwiens.

Hi!
Hey Eyre,

I just wanted to apologize if I seemed a little harsh on the boosqueak nom page. I thought I should let you know my thoughts on OR/assumptions and blah blah blah.

Basically, I think that we can never assume that something was inspired by something else, no matter how obvious it seems. Saying "probably" or "likely" or "appears to be" doesn't, in my opinion, make things any better, as it's still kinda making an assumption. What I think is always best is noting the similarities, but leaving it at that, and letting the reader connect the dots themselves --- if there's no proof of a connection, I just don't think it's our place to connect the dots ourselves, ya know? If the wording of Mephitisian looks limp, it's 'cause it notes the similarities and lets the reader connect the dots without saying "Probably inspired". Boosqueak could, IMO, say something like "Boosqueak's article in Rebellion mentioned exotic animals from Fedje, and VOTF later went on to mention exotic pet salesmen from Fedje" without saying "probably" or "likely." I don't know... am I crazy? Similar issues arose with the Don Wan Kihotay FAN --- he's obviously inspired by Don Quixote, but without any clear evidence, Hydro and I agreed that it would be best to note the similarities and leave it that. Whaddya think? Menkooroo 17:08, September 17, 2010 (UTC) Hey! I have no idea if replying to Wookieepedia mail actually gets the message to the original sender, and I'm at an airport internet cafe and about to go on vacation for a week, so I'll just repost what I put in the e-mail here. I hope that's OK. Here we go...
 * That's ok, Menk. I actually only saw it now. I raised the Mephitisian example as to me that is a blatant source of inspiration, whereas the example of the boosqueak was less so. By disagreeing on both, it shows that you disagree with the general concept of making such statements, rather than the strength of this particular one. To be fair, Hydro's position on Don-Wan Kihotay appears far closer to mine, and I see that it was in fact never carried out on that article. --Eyrezer 07:28, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I definitely disagree with the concept of making statements like that in general. I hope Mephitisian doesn't look like that kind of statement. You can (obviously) fine-tune it if you want, even all these months later. And check out Hydro's second post there, man! :^D Menkooroo 06:03, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hey! I actually appreciate the e-mail and was thinking of sending one to you, too. I felt like I was a little stubborn on a couple of recent issues, and I wanted to let you know the same thing; I love your work at the Wook and I felt bad over how I probably came across. I've seen you take care of objections on other people's noms before, and I've always admired it, actually, what with you helping the Celchu trial and a few other ones go through. The only problem with the current slab of noms is that I don't think any of them were copy-edited. :^P You won't have the energy to take care of that for all twenty-five of them, will you? :^D I'm not sure if this reply will reach you... does replying to soandso@wookieepedia.com actually go anywhere? But in any case, I'm on vacation for the next week, so if I don't respond to anything, that's why. Cheers! Menkooroo 08:33, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, thanks for picking up my slack on the CAN; for some reason I was thinking like it was the GAN and still needed that vote&mdash;I need some more sleep :P. Anyway, thanks. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 03:26, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL. No problem. I actually get confused as to whether the 2 days has passed as my time zone is ahead anyway. I do find it funny though, how votes seems to get evenly spread over nominations so that lots have one vote from different people but none have enough to pass. Sometimes frustrating. :P --Eyrezer 03:29, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Haha yeah; I'll make sure to watch for that in deciding what articles to review on the CAN in the future. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 16:24, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

CSF FAN
Hey, thanks for the review and the help with the BTS. If you could please add your vote as an Inq I would appreciate it a lot! Thanks. Coruscantfan 00:32, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * LOL. Well I will, but I skipped straight to the BTS and so I have not yet read and reviewed the rest of the article. --Eyrezer 00:33, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh crap. Between you and Jonjedigrandmaster you guys are killing me! I only two more Inq votes! Kill me now! lol Coruscantfan 02:30, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Tree of wisdom
Hey Eyre, congrats on passing this article. I noticed a minor thing while copy-editing it, but decided to say it here rather than object to, as I believe you are capable of fixing it&hellip; "Later that same year, Organa visited the Hapes Cluster hoping to enlist their aid in the war against the Yuuzhan Vong." I'm not 100 per cents sure whom "their" is referring to? I think the Hapes, but could you clarify just in case? Thanks. 1358 (Talk) 14:46, October 7, 2010 (UTC)

Undefined stuff
Hey, Ey. Do we consider Category:Undefined social groups as part of WP:A? I didn't think we did (aside from trying to reclassify those articles that have been fanonized as species. Either way, we should probably treat Category:Species of undefined sentience the same way. And speaking of which, I'd say that Undefined sentience should be reserved for species that have no canon sentience classification, not for those that get classified one way here and another way there, like Kowakian monkey-lizard or Ranat. What do you think? ~ SavageBob 05:35, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think so far, we have not been treating the Undefined social groups as part of WP:AS. Ie, Leafar is a GA but not within our article count. I would agree that your new category should likewise be excluded to the same extent. There is room for a category for species where there is IU debate over sentience. The two I have in mind are the Sinkar and the Bivalva contemplativa, which have in-universe debates or speculation over their sentience. So far, I have included both of these within our numbers (both are from the Colonies), but we should perhaps consider if this is a path we want to take. --Eyrezer 06:52, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps this should be moved to our forums over at WP:A, but I've thought the same thing about semi-sentient species. There should probably be a category for them. ~ SavageBob 16:50, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've started a forum topic on this here. ~ SavageBob 03:42, October 30, 2010 (UTC)

Arthézia
Hey, I just realized that this article, which you created almost three years ago, does not list any appearances or sources. If you could take care of that so it doesn't get deleted, I'd appreciate it. :)  Master Jonathan  ( Jedi Council Chambers ) 18:47, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Good spotting. I'm not sure how I missed it at the time, but I've now added in the source. --Eyrezer 21:18, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

RE:
Hey! I really appreciate the offer, but I'm actually not interested in becoming one. Thank you, though. Menkooroo 06:26, October 25, 2010 (UTC)

Living Force character creation guide
Hi Eyrezer, I was wondering if you have a copy of the "Living Force character creation guidelines", which used to be available here before the death of wizards.com/starwars. Cheers, --Jinzler 00:50, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * No I don't, sorry. The only thing I have like that is the Writer's guidelines, which I expect I have already given to you. --Eyrezer 09:33, October 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks anyway, SavageBob says he has a copy, if you ever need/want one. --Jinzler 15:28, October 27, 2010 (UTC)

The art of the alien GA
Hey, Ey. Since the FAN process seems to take so long, I've been trying to do aliens that I assume will be more along the lines of GA length. That way, we've got articles churning through the system in both processes. However, I've found that in most cases, even these aliens I thought would be GAs end up coming in over FA length! Some examples are Muza, Troxan, and, most recently, Tocoyan. You've got a long list of GAs under your belt, so do you have any tips for choosing a subject that will fall within that sweet spot between CA and FA lengths? As it is, I've probably got a year's worth of FAN backlogs waiting to nominate, since I don't want to gum up the process with more than three simultaneous FA noms... ~ SavageBob 20:01, November 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not sure if you saw this, Ey. If you're busy IRL, no worries. ~ SavageBob 16:10, November 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I did see it, but time on the Wook has been tight. A few thoughts: 1) Try and pick species you think will be CA length! Then, when you inevitably go over, it may only be to GA level. 2) Avoid species with illustrations. Describing the image can take up a lot of words. 3) This is not really about the GA problem, but you could try and get your through FANs through quicker. My guess is that at least 50% (if not more like 75%) of all the reviews of species articles are from me directly asking users in the IRC, whether they be INQs or regular users. I sometime feel like a Party whip (or the equivalent, if Americans call them something else). Try directly approaching INQs that have reviewed your articles in the past. Many are receptive to requests, and if they've reviewed them before, know they are high quality. That is all the advice I can think of at the moment. PS: Apparently, Lutrillian has 5 redlinks. --Eyrezer 07:11, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think we still have Party whips, but we would probably refer to you as the Speaker of the INQ. ;) --  Riffsyphon  1024 08:00, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not of the INQ, just of the WP:AS. --Eyrezer 08:12, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ha! Yeah, we've got whips in the US too. And good advice on the GA thing. I've noticed that the picture requirement seems to probably be my biggest hurdle, as I tend to not be interested in unpictured aliens, but then those pretty pictures push me over the limit. With Amorphiian, though, the fact that they look like normal Humans kept the word count down, I think. I'm too busy with stuff to go to IRC much, but maybe I can try to stop by on weekends or something to prod some INQs. ;P As for the redlinks... hadn't noticed. Dadgummit. I'll try to bluellink some. :( ~ SavageBob 15:42, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * There is an INQ meet this weekend so best to get Lutrillian done by then. Otherwise, it will sit on the probe for a month. --Eyrezer 19:31, November 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * How about trying Felinian? That could be GA length and it is the only species in its quadrant. --Eyrezer 11:02, November 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look once schools settles back down. ~ SavageBob 15:53, November 30, 2010 (UTC)

Amazing!
That Gotal thing looks great! And thanks again for participating in the impromptu week. Menkooroo 04:08, November 8, 2010 (UTC)

37th Meeting
Hello, Eyre.

I'm writing to remind you about the upcoming Inq meeting this Saturday/Sunday. Early registration is still available! Hope to see you there. &mdash; Fiolli  17:37, November 9, 2010 (UTC)

GAN review
Hello there Eye! I was hoping you could maybe review General Grievous' Theme as it's up for GAN? I would much appreciate it. MasterFred (Whatever) 19:53, November 10, 2010 (UTC)

Casus Belli
Eyr, my friend,

Do you by chance have Casus Belli 115? If so, can you tell me what Le facteur X, which is included therein, says about Exar Kun and his defeat over Yavin 4? Thanks, —Tommy 9281 18:24, November 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Tommy. I do have Le Facteur X, although it is of course in French. I have a translation of the first few pages only, which may or may not include the parts re Exar Kun. It is a name that stands out even in French! I will email it on you. --Eyrezer 06:35, November 25, 2010 (UTC)
 * Cool thanks. If you don't mind, I'll take the French version, as I am also able to translate. In the meanwhile, do you have Star Wars Galaxy, which includes the "Dark Father" article? It's also on Exar's page as a source. Thanks, —Tommy 9281 20:58, November 25, 2010 (UTC)

CSF
Hi, I saw that you noted you were on reduced duties. However you've left 3 or 4 objections on the CSF FA statues open for almost a month now. I'd appreciate it if you could address those as soon as possible. Thanks, hope your new job is going well. Coruscantfan 07:20, November 28, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks and sorry
I know this is way overdue, but thanks for finishing the FAN for the Trial of Tycho Celchu and sorry that I left it when process was almost complete. A bad combination of personal reasons caused a minor mental breakdown and I simply lost all interest in anything, including Star Wars, for a little while. Sorry and thousand thanks to you for handling the last objections.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 21:41, November 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not a problem. Our FAN page can take a long time, so it is not unsurprising if users run out of steam. I was happy to see it get through in the end. --Eyrezer 06:22, December 1, 2010 (UTC)

Inqmoot 38
Just letting you know that Inqmoot 38 is scheduled for this Saturday evening. Hope to see you there. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:22, December 6, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Hi Eyrezer, haven't heard from you for a long time. Did you get my email? I have finished my first year at university and I did really well with History and Politics in particular. But the best news is that I have been invited to do Honours in both History and Politics. I have opted for a combined honours in both papers which means I can choose to do my fourth year dissertation in either History or Politics. I got two -As for my Politics papers and an -A and B+ for both my History papers. I also got an A in my New Testament paper with 89 marks. Paul Trebilco is one of the best lecturers I have acome across. Next year, I'll also be doing a History Summer School paper HIST 230: Georgian Britain. I'll be doing seven papers in total in 2011: 3 History papers, 3 Politics and 1 Theology paper. That theology paper is CHTH 102 which looks at the history of Christianity. I also hope to continue post-graduate work on History and Politics with an emphasis on Southeast Asia particularly Indonesia and Malaysia. Hopefully, I'll be a historian or researcher like Michael King, Tony Ballantyne, George McTurnan Kahin or Adrian Vickers. Me and my family will be going to Malaysia for a three-weak holiday in December. I have been working on the Second Imperial Civil War from the Legacy comics and some topics from the new Knight Errant comics. The Second Imperial Civil War article is long overdue for a makeover. Since no one else was doing it, I decided to start work anyway. I may not be an Edward Gibbons but I'll do my best. So far, I have covered the alliance between the Galactic Alliance and Fel's Imperials. There is a new Legacy series known as The War coming out in December which pits Cade against a resurgent Darth Krayt. This seems to parallel the Dark Empire series and Operation Shadow Hand.

Cheers, Andykatib 21:06, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Neff CAN
Hi Eyrezer, it has been a week since you last objected to my CAN of Neff, and I see you have otherwise been active on Wookieepedia between now and then. Can you check back, I have responded to your original objection. Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 18:26, December 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hi Eyrezer, once more I have waited a week after responding to your objection, and I believe I have taken care of everything. I wrote that she was armed with a Relby, and sourced it properly. Hanzo Hasashi 18:34, December 26, 2010 (UTC)

George Roubicek
Hey Eyrezer. Sorry it took me so long to reply to your comment at the George Roubicek FAN. I'm in the process of buying my first house and it's been a pain in the ass. lol. I responded to your comment, take your time in replying back. Thanks for your patience! — Hunter Kahn  17:36, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Inqmoot
Hello, Eyrezer. There is currently an Inqmoot scheduled for 27 minutes ago that has yet to begin because of low attendance. If you can show up, we could legitimately begin the meeting. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 00:27, January 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm about to catch a plane, so no can do. --Eyrezer 00:31, January 9, 2011 (UTC)

Inq meeting rescheduled
Inq meeting 39 has been rescheduled for this Saturday evening, January 15, at the same scheduled time, 7 PM EST for North Americans. The meeting was postponed this past weekend because no one bothered to show up. If you value your position in the Inq, we expect you to please make an effort to be in attendance. If you cannot attend the meeting, we still expect you to participate by leaving notes on the meeting page. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:29, January 10, 2011 (UTC)

Inq Review Redux: Form V: Shien / Djem So
Good day! Based upon our discussion at our last meeting, a thorough Inq review of Form V: Shien / Djem So has been initiated. Please take the time to review this article as if were a present FAN. The review page can be found here. Thank you and have a wonderful day! &mdash; Fiolli ; 15:45, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Inquisitorius Meeting 40
Here is a preliminary reminder that Inquisitorius meeting 40 is scheduled for 12 February 2011. Absentee voting for probationary articles is available at the posting of the meeting page, and absentee voting for new articles will begin five days prior to the meeting. Thanks! &mdash; Fiolli ; 15:45, January 18, 2011 (UTC)

Happen to have Fact File 33 on hand?
I'm thinking of cleaning up and expanding Toryn Farr's article for a possible FAN and I need to know if Fact File 33 (HOT16, Escape of the Rebels) has anything in it that wouldn't have already been regurgitated by other sources. The bulk of the expansion will be coming from OPF, as her other entries basically just give a small snippet of information that has otherwise been already covered. Thanks.

Elephant man species
Hey there Eyrezer. I saw you had the picture of the elephant man in your sandpit. I thought you might prefer a closer image of him which shows his features better. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 17:07, February 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thanks! 'll substitute that one in. --Eyrezer 08:46, February 24, 2011 (UTC)

Image policy regarding user threshold
I was wondering about the threshold for uploading images. Before, I could upload an image with no problem, but for the past few months I've been getting the message that I need to have a certain amount of time on the site as well as a certain number of edits to be able to upload images for articles. So far I've worked on 663 edits and been here since April 10 of last year. Can't find the policy page that clarifies this, so I thought I'd ask an admin who works with the image sections. Thanks in advance! BillNye 12:56, February 26, 2011 (UTC)
