Nice HNN template
Hey, just wanted to say nice work with the hnn template :-) --Azizlight 01:59, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I didn't know if making new templates and then sticking them all around was OK, but if it's still up, I must be doing something right. - Lord Hydronium 02:48, 9 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Cassus Fett
Hey man, I just wanted to thank you for the image help with Cassus. It was really bugging me that we didn't have any pictures of his armor or blaster. Later.--DannyBoy7783 23:41, 15 Jan 2006 (UTC)

Nem Bees
Congratulations on contributing to the Star Wars universe! If you wish, you may now create an article about yourself! --Imp 01:57, 4 February 2006 (UTC) Thanks. It was certainly a cool moment to check the update and see that name staring back at me. - Lord Hydronium 06:28, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Congrats!!! :-) --Azizlight 02:21, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Congrats to you too Hydronium. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:52, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Congrats. :) (grumbles about receiving no recognition of his own...) QuentinGeorge 06:19, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Congrats, I loved the entry! --Master Starkeiller 17:25, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Ditto, great story, Deviss was a nice touch!Cull Tremayne 19:35, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Nice blog entry too :-) Though it sucks that the first guy to post a comment was a bit of a downer; he did the same thing to my Bal'demnic blog too, ah well. Cheers! --Azizlight 09:44, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Pre-Republic
Good work!!! When I started the article I regretted to see that none was interested enough to expand it, it even failed the nomination, while I lacked proper knowledge to do it myself. Thanks for the support!!! MoffRebus 09:57, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Template:Tense
Hey, nice job on Tense&mdash;it's been needing to be wookified for a long time now. RMF 03:30, 18 March 2006 (UTC)

Mike Kazz

 * Sorry if it looks like I copied the articles exactly from the book. I admit they are similar but not exact. I try to make it my own but use some of the wording from the book so the reader knows what I am trying to get across. Im sorry if it looks like this and I will try better to write them better. I have just written an article on the Blarth, It would make me feel better if you checked it out and told me what you thought. I tried so much not to copie much from the book but make it my own. Mike Kazz 10:32pm, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Heiromarn
Hey just wondered if you could provide a link for the JJM article. I believe you and all, just wanted to read it. Lonnyd 22:29, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * His site is at http://www.farawaylooks.com/, and has some neat Behind the scenes notes for all the KOTOR comics released so far. The one for KOTOR #0 is here. - Lord Hydronium 22:34, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Odds debate
While this time I really am trying to keep away from TFN to prevent any more Fandalorian damage to my sanity, I popped in and looked over the threads there, and just wanted to say good job on the "Odds controversial story" thread. The lengths those people will go to...I think your T-canon comment summe dit up best. Kuralyov 04:30, 9 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, I must say I find it bizarre that instead of retconning the number that was clearly wrong, the EU seems to have gone the other way and retconned the number that was actually reasonable. Good Lord...WHY?! QuentinGeorge 07:36, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Reverting Willy on Wheel's edits
How do I move a page back? Reverting and page moving don't seem to work. MyNz 09:37, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Go to the Move log page and hit the revert link for the moves you want to revert, then hit OK. - Lord Hydronium 09:38, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
 * If you encounter more vandalism on wheels, please report it on IRC immediately. The sooner we block them, the better. - Sikon [ Talk ] 10:35, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

Standard for published works
I've seen your outline which attempts to create a standard for articles on Star Wars published works. Good work. I would like you to help me set a standard for all of this. The "in-universe" side of Wookieepedia seems to be fairly well-developed now and I think an equal focus should be put on the "real-world" aspects of Wookieepedia. I've consolidated your outlines into what I think would best cover everything for all published works. Take a look at this link. I've based the "appearances" section off of the classification system the official databank uses. I'm hoping maybe we can start formatting all articles on published works this way. I've already began to do so on the television episodes. Thanks. Adamwankenobi Talk to me! My home. 18:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Gados
Done. Kuralyov 22:12, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

Sorry
I'm sorry. I promise I won't do it again. JainaSolo32 00:56, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

RE:Regen
'Regen' just means that I regenerated the template from its source code. I modified the source templates slh and slf tonight, so I was just implementing those changes. Hope my explanation helps ;) – 08:10, 22 July 2006 (UTC) In order to keep the infoboxes standardized, most of the infobox templates on the wiki are generated from four other templates: Template:slh, Template:sls, Template:sld, and Template:slf. Those four templates are used to create the source code that is found at the bottom each infobox template's page. In order to regenerate a template, you simply modify that source code and paste it into the template page code in place of the old code. We make use of Substitution so that when the page is saved, the code of the four templates above is actually substituted into the infobox template in place of the template call. That is what I mean by 'regen'.– 23:37, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * That wasn't a very good explanation was it...

RE:Commas
sorry. I must have been tired, sorry. Thank you for letting me know though.  W h o p p e r  20:34, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Ossus
You did great work on the Ossus article. I nominated it for FA status today. --Eyrezer 09:02, 9 September 2006 (UTC)
 * Looks like it made it. Thanks for the nomination. - Lord Hydronium 08:10, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

Iri Camas

 * Why did you take down the information relating to Iri Camas's role in the Battle of Tellanroaeg and the mentions in Star Wars Insider 84? Xeran 00:27, 28 September 2006 (UTC)
 * I admit I may have missed something (and if I did, please point it out), but the only thing I saw in Insider 84 on Camas was a quote, with nothing about Tellenroaeg. - Lord Hydronium 02:52, 28 September 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok then, but did the quote relate to anything about Order 66? The part before in the profile where Iri was declared an MIA? Xeran 23:36, 28 September 2006 (UTC)

PoD Planets

 * You should add these planets to the New Sith Empire page as well, since they appear to be under Sith control during that portion of the timeline. QuentinGeorge 01:40, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

WookieeProject Invitation

 * As someone with interest and/or knowledge pertaining to the 2,000 - 1,000 BBY period of Star Wars, I'm inviting you to join the WookieeProject New Sith Wars, an attempt to get all article related to this period up to scratch. Please join! QuentinGeorge 03:17, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey, I know you're probably going to cover this anyway, but I just finished rereading Darkness Shared and thought it was interesting that Dree Vandap notes that Hoth was a teacher at the Jedi Temple. I know you're probably already aware of this, but I had to reread it to store away that info, so I wanted to make sure you were going to add it. Happy hunting (or writing, or uh..whatever). Cull Tremayne 05:31, 31 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up. - Lord Hydronium 08:19, 31 October 2006 (UTC)

Nem Bees

 * Wow! Nem got a gong in the NEGTAS? Awesome. I sure hope to see Onara Kuat in a book some day... For now, I'll have to be content with her appearance in Publius' fanart. ;) QuentinGeorge 10:08, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yay! I was really hoping for a WTS reference in this book :-) Congrats!!! --Azizlight 12:08, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and apparently there are a few other WTS refs in the book. - Lord Hydronium 13:34, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Really?? Ooooh..... --Azizlight 15:17, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Sentiments
I just wanted to thank you for your comments on Karpshyn's blog. Very nice job. For some reason people take it upon themselves to define a certain type of people and then insult their exclusive definition, very frustrating. Though my frustration probably has something to do with really enjoying JvS. On another note, is there a reason why you characterized Zannah so brutally? At least in her responses to Bane, I never got the gist that she thought killing "felt right" or that the only reason she didn't kill her cousin was because she hadn't learned enough. I thought she was a little more sympathetic than that. However, I haven't completed PoD, so this might have something to do with this. In that case, could you set me straight? Cull Tremayne 17:23, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I got the "felt right" from her line about killing to make life bearable. Not meaning that she enjoyed it, but that it felt like the necessary thing to do.  As for the second part, I don't believe I stated that.  There was a line already in the article about her saying she didn't kill him because she was still young (which wasn't actually accurate, since that's what Bane says), but it's since been changed.  And thanks regarding the blog comments.  I really don't care for the holier-than-thou-because-I-never-criticize-anything type of fan, and unfortunately those comments were chock full of them. - Lord Hydronium 21:30, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, my mistake then. I guess I should have checked the history on that. My feelings on the "felt right" statement was that it characterizes her as killing unremorsefully at best and for pleasure at worst. I felt like the author made an effort to show that Zannah was not happy about the killing and only did it to as she says to "restore the balance". Seemed right just seems a little less harsh than felt right. You can't call out Star Wars authors anymore or you're an evil stalker fan that only wishes to do physical harm to the writer. Even general criticism is seen as baiting? Cull Tremayne 05:09, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean. I changed it to "seemed", which, given that it's the same phrase she uses, should have the right connotation. - Lord Hydronium 06:23, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

FA Review Board
Hey, I don't know if you had seen the discussion here, but I was wondering if you'd be interested in being a member. I ask because you've written two FAs with a third on the way, and I'm sure you'd want a place in confirming the quality of past and future FAs. I am not sure if you'd want to be part of this, but you'd be a terrific candidate. Do you think you would be interested? Cull Tremayne 23:09, 29 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Great! I knew your experience was more on the writing side, and we need that perspective. It should work out perfectly. I'll nominate you as one of the members. The "duties" will probably be just reading past FAs and future nominees to make sure they're up to standard. If you'll be on vacation or won't have the time to read and judge an FA we're working on, you can have a "member-at-large" step in for you to do it. Others agree that you'd be highly appropriate. Thanks for your consideration. Cull Tremayne 04:33, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As we got it the approved, please take a look at WP:INQ if you haven't already. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 23:26, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Pre-Republic
Actually I wanted to type 500,000 BBY, thanks for pointing out. I don't know the sources, I took it form the date article itself (and no, it was not me who wrote it). As for the Coruscanti I meant the Taungs when they left after the war with the Zhell. This one is supposed to be the earliest known instance they space-travelled MoffRebus 10:21, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Pre-Republic sources
The "dark knights" come from the NEC section on the Battle of Muunilinst, and the Expansionist Era is extrapolation from the the fact that it's said to involve both the development of the hyperdrive (pre-Republic) and the early expansion of the Republic. Kuralyov 18:46, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Image:Invids.jpg
Thanks for providing a source: but my copy of that picture in the Rogue Squardon vol. 1 omnibus is slightly different (it's cropped more closely around Tavira). Did they change it for the reprint? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:26, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's cropped like that in the original handbook. That's weird that they would change it for the Omnibus. - Lord Hydronium 03:30, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * And it's not reprinted from another issue, as far as you know? If so, I'll have to change some of the footnotes in the Amani article... Thanks again, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 13:51, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I really don't know if it's anywhere else; I was just browsing through the handbook and came across it. - Lord Hydronium 22:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Form V Cleanup
I'm trying to get the article up to FA standards, so thanks for the assistance! Jwebb13 HoloNet 03:34, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Eclipse-class superlaser
You reverted my edit on the Eclipse-class Dreadnaught on basis of something the Dark Empire sourcebook says. Could you quote that, please? DarthMRN 10:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure. "The beam packs enough destructive power to shatter the most powerful planetary shield and sear whole continents in a flash." (p. 88) - Lord Hydronium 10:41, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I assume then, that the Eclipse I's power to sear an entire planet was just a special ability of that vessel, then, and that regular Dreads only has enough power to sear continents? Thanks. DarthMRN 15:49, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Chu'unthor

 * While you're working on this article, could you whip up a quick Chu'unthor (Clone Wars) one as well? They're separate ships, and need separate articles....QuentinGeorge 05:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Apologies
I didn't mean to be stepping on your toes so to speak on removing the fanon stuff. I had just reverted the page, whereas you removed it seconds earlier. My apologies Vryce 03:21, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That's fine; I hadn't even noticed you changed it before you changed it back. By the way, the problem with just reverting is that he made the changes back in November, so you removed about 4 months of edits along with the fanon.  I mean, you changed it back, so it's all good now, but just for future reference. - Lord Hydronium 03:26, 19 February 2007 (UTC)

FA Promotion
Just noticed your little promotion of Bastilla there, and I was just wondering...how much longer does Armand Isard have to wait on the queue? It's got ten supports, been up for a week, and no objects. This isn't a veiled attempt to get you to promote it, because I just claimed it wasn't. ;) .  .  .  .  06:56, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * According to the page, your vote was on the 16th. It's still the 22nd where I am, so I was planning on putting it up tomorrow afternoon barring any other objections. - Lord Hydronium 07:37, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
 * ...aaaand it looks like StarNeptune already took care of that. - Lord Hydronium 07:39, 23 February 2007 (UTC)

Image sources
Hi. I got those two images from the Star Wars.com Databank on their "Behind the Scenes" sections. -- Cato Neimoidia 21:50, 28 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yup. -- Cato Neimoidia 01:08, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Question about Tionese War
I have a question regarding some dates about the Tionese War here, and I was curious to know your opinion. Have a good one! ~ Jaywin
 * Thanks for the response! ~ Jaywin

Questions about Reda Jalooz
I had a couple of questions about Reda Jalooz, (an article I just created), on that article's talk page. I'm guessing the answers are unknown, but I would imagine "yes" is a possibility for both questions. Just curious to know what you thought! ~ Jaywin

Pre-Republic
As far as I can tell, you were a driving force behind this article. I thought you might like to add a little about the Seoularians from the Marvel comics. They seemed to have had a sizable presence in the era, especially as rumors about them persisted until the Rebellion period. --Eyrezer 21:53, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, I've just been preparing for the Inq meeting, and this article needs a lead quote to comply with the FA requirements. I actually opposed the introduction of this particular rule but nevertheless, it's there. --Eyrezer 08:20, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

Thank you!
Thanks for clearing me up on the template thing.

Emperor's Pawns
It really doesn't say much, but I'll do a deeper scan later. Under the Roganda Ismaren part it says: ''Palpatine's death came too soon. While growing in the dark side, eight-year-old Irek was unprepared to assume power&mdash;his legitimacy would undoubtedly be challenged, and he wasn't strong enough to repel all Imperial warlords jockeying for control. Roganda could only grit her teeth as the imposter Trioculus was crowned Emperor as Palpatine's legitimate son. She bided her time, retreating with Irek to Belsavis, waiting for opportunity to come.'' Cull Tremayne 11:35, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Revan Article
I've pruned the Talents and BTS section of the Revan article. You were right about the swoop racer section (of course, I might just be saying it because it's the one part I didn't write...) and I managed to get it into three sentences. I might have gone overboard with the BTS, but I figured that it didn't make sense to have all those subheadings when bullet points would do. Anyway, let me know what you think and if I'm taking it to an extreme or not.

I'm going to get to work "deflowering" the main article to an extent now. Just, uh, try to keep an eye on me and make sure I don't go too overboard... cheers. (Ulicus 12:53, 5 March 2007 (UTC))
 * That's fine, Hydronium. I'll experiment a bit more with the talents later. (Ulicus 07:35, 8 March 2007 (UTC))

Ulic sourcing
Yup, the interview in SWAJ2 is indeed the source. KEJ 07:47, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Empress Isard?
I'm no Hyperspacer, so I'll have to take your word on that, but something is wrong in the article, the dating if nothing else. Wedge's Gamble in 6.5 ABY describes her as being "Emperor in all but name", so she shouldn't have been de jure Empress before that. Or does Evil Never Dies override that, being newer? Does it say when she became Empress? Evir Daal 10:52, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Here's all it says: "Thus, it was easy for Jax to transfer allegiance from Palpatine to his successor Sate Pestage, then again to Empress Ysanne Isard." This same contradiction came up on the TFN boards, and I'm not sure there is one distinct answer. Either the narration in WG wasn't entirely accurate (maybe she was referred to as Empress only in certain circles), or END is speaking figuratively. - Lord Hydronium 10:59, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I put in in the BTS for the time being. Evir Daal 12:19, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Arbra images
Yes, that's alright. -- http://images.wikia.com/starwars/images/e/e5/ATATatarismall.png 15:40, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Hidden comments

 * Cute. Real cute. But the history shows you put it there.  :-P Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 14:20, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

Rebel Fleet/Arbra pictures
I am very, very interested in that shot of the Rebel fleet hiding in the Abran sun. The count of black shapes in that "pyramid" is astounding, as they are obviously meant to represent capital ships and transports. Do you have any other shots of the Rebel fleet from that issue? I am curious to see what types of ships are shown with the fleet. AdmiralNick22 19:45, 23 March 2007 (UTC)
