Hello?
Hi... you added and then deleted a comment on my userpage. I guess my only question is: do I want to know? --McEwok 13:58, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It wasn't derogatory. I wanted to tell you I'm in your camp on the whole Saxton thing, but it looks like the guy has snuck his BS into the canon through picture books.  However, I didn't want to start a Talkpage debate on your page, because I didn't want everyone to think I was completely affiliated with you, so I deleted the comment.  I must warn you, and everyone out there, against Fan Speculation.  Wait it out; a book or even a movie may prove you right or wrong soon enough, and you'll regret ever telling anyone what you thought the deal was. -- Graestan 16:52, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the advice. No worries&mdash;but just for clarification, I try to distinguish between my own ideas (which I'm well aware are just mine, and which I have no desire to impose on anyone) and my opinion that existing canon should be respected and accurately represented (which is a position that can be challenged, sure, but it isn't quite "fan speculation"). That said, I do see the gist of what you're saying. Thanks! --McEwok 03:26, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

CIV Table
Hi! I told Xwing328 that I would set up a master schedule for our CIV table, to ensure that someone is always covering the table. It's over on my talk page (Manning the CIV Table). You mentioned that you could be available either Saturday or Sunday. I have slots open on both days from 1-4pm, if one of those works for you. You're also welcome to show up at any other time and relieve someone else. --Bobvitas 13:27, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Fanon...and the draft scripts
It's interesting that you brought up the fanon issue. I was pretty casual about Wookieepedia, but I enjoy literary (and cinematic) research. I was reading The Making of Star Wars and thought to add a few things to the relevant articles... typed in "Granicus"... it redirected to Supershadow. I couldn't let him get the last word on one of Lucas' inventions... I kind of went head first then. What I'm hoping to do is allow people to discriminate fanon based on his drafts from the drafts themselves. I think (and this is just an intuition) that much of the wind is out of fanon regarding the drafts, now that we actually have the prequels. What's interesting to me is how much Lucas re-used. Funny that all the fanon writers didn't have the faintest idea what or how. Thanks for your comments, & Cheers :) --Jeffbacca 16:29, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

Wookiee-Cookiee

 * I should also mention that I'm unfortunately not going to be able to head up to St. Louis as previously thought. Sorry. --  Riffsyphon  1024 16:58, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Lepus Carnivorus

 * I think your objection is now resolved on this FA nom. --Eyrezer 00:04, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Wedding
Thanks Graestan :) Greyman ( Paratus ) 19:04, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Dia Dhuit

 * Thanks a million for all your help. There is one more thing you can do: have a go at organizing the appearances section in chronological order (it shouldn't be too hard, it's already somewhat in order). If you could do that it would be a great help. Slan, -- [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|40px]] dmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 12:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much, we would not have been able to do this without you. --Jedimca0(Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 12:16, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

XM-1 Nova Wing
I need a source for Cygnus Spaceworks being the manufacturer. I know this is factual, but I don't have any proof. You got anything?--MIS Tau 1 11:07, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!
Hey Grae, I thought you deserved this for all the copy-edits that you've done for my FAN's and GAN's. This is also being awarded because those copy-edits are *good*, and you don't hesitate when I ask you. Thanks bud, Greyman ( Paratus ) 01:30, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'd like to second that statement. And on a related note, I've finished the expansion on Memit Nadill, so it's ready for another copy-edit it you are up to it. :) -- [[Image:AckbarSig.jpg|40px]] dmirableAckbar  ( It's A Trap! ) 20:22, 13 September 2007 (UTC)

Crado
Hello! I take you saw my edit about Crado's name being changed in the french version quite suspiciously, which is quite a normal attitude I think. Nonethelesse, I'm NOT a fanon maker. Would an excerpt of this french comics, along with its references be fine to prove I was not telling oddities? Here it is: http://storage.canalblog.com/75/29/145375/17271416.jpg "Star Wars Légendes des Jedi: la Guerre des Sith", Dark Horse France, 1996, ISBN 2- 84164-070-1
