Cargamalis
Hello. This message is to inform you that I have adjusted my Cargamalis CAN to reflect the system rather than the planet, as there is no explicit indication of a planet existing under that name. Please feel free to reevaluate the nom as need be. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:09, July 19, 2016 (UTC)

Synthetic kyber crystal
The deed is done. Since you have a current FA nomination, you should already know that CAN and even GAN process is relatively quick. :P Good luck on getting the info from Hidalgo. Meanwhile, (to keep you occupied while you wait for the queue) may I suggest some points to address in the article?
 * 1) I'd add a short bit about the Smuggler smuggling the smuggled kyber crystals to the intro. Probably just a second sentence.
 * 2) in the Description section quote, is "the Smugglers" supposed to be plural?
 * 3) I also feel like the bit about the crystals being illegal in the Empire belongs in the History section.  Imperators II (Talk) 15:42, July 26, 2016 (UTC)

Sexes
Hi AV-6R7.

Thanks for the warm greeting.

I noticed that my post to the talk page on "Sexes" was deleted. I am pondering why, as it was deleted instead of adding to the discussion and actually discussing the issue. (Maybe you had a bias against Frederick Pol.)

Respectfully, I think my post was not based on our perception of sexes, but rather implied improvements to the article. Admittedly, I might not have been explicit in how to improve it, but I think the message of making the definition more broad, to be a definition broad enough for life on earth, let alone xenobiology in a science fiction framework.

If I were to make a specific suggestion about describing sexes, (which I think relates to my post) it would be something like the following. Maybe this is what I should have posted.

In xenobiology, sexual reproduction is first defined at the cellular level. If we assume the progression of life on other planets paralleled the history of life on earth, Asexual reproduction preceded sexual reproduction. At some point, a type of cells developed the behavior of injecting themselves into other cells, where the genetic material of the injecting (male) cells would be passed down in reproduction of the complete (female) cells along with the genetic material of the female cells.

This definition is critical in identifying male and female parts of plants.

The evolution of male cells took advantage of the lower energy needed for a less comprehensive genetic code, omitting instructions for full reproduction. Both types of cells, including female cells, benefited from the genetic diversity gained from sexual reproduction.

As multicellular organisms develop, organisms develop into organisms (or parts of organisms as with plants) which can create male or female reproductive cells.

Throughout the galaxy, as life originated on various planets, each had a history with this pattern, or variations on that pattern. Various planets had variation on which sex laid eggs, gestated embryos, and nurtured their young.

The purpose of a description such as the above is that authors would be able to add to the extended universe more freely than with the narrow restrictive definition which is basically, "Traditionally, members of the male sex acted as a father figure, who provided, cared for, and defended their partner from other males or predators."

 * While your definition may be more scientifically accurate, it would fall under "Conjecture and assumptions based on real-world standards," which is not allowed under our canon policy, making it unsuitable for use on Wookieepedia. -  AV-6R7  Crew Pit 15:47, August 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks.

I can accept "Conjecture and assumptions based on real-world standards," as the problem with my post to the discussion page. It is a much more relevant reason than "not how the subject should be interpreted based on our perception of it" which sounds like I was arguing based on feminism or egalitarianism. I do admit that the purpose of the web site is based on references to Star Wars examples and canon, so I can agree.

I would still maintain that there is a problem with the sentence, "Traditionally, members of the male sex acted as a father figure, who provided, cared for, and defended their partner from other males or predators." *This* sentence is based on out perception of sex.

Maybe it would be better to omit it and have no explicit definition. Having this as the definition seems to use a definition based on what we know about what it is to be male or female. Simply not actually defining the concept of male and female is fine, since we already know as much as the definition states.

My point is that people using WookiePedia to extend the Star Wars universe or write fan fiction, would find this needlessly restrictive, when this is overly specific for a biological approach given what we already know about our own biology.

 * If you believe this to be an issue, you could bring it up in the Senate Hall to better gauge community consensus. I personally have no opinion on the issue.

Ann Gella
Reverting my removal of unverified information does no good if you don't take the time to cite the item in question. All you've done is re-add the unsourced information back into the article. If the information is indeed valid, please cite it correctly. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:45, August 12, 2016 (UTC)

Edit summary
Recommendation for you to please use the edit summary when you're making widespread page moves. In this case, I have no idea why you're moving the stew article to a new title. Simply putting a reason in the original page move would prevent any confusion. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:41, August 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * The policy currently makes no stipulation at all for food, so any such ruling you might have imagined to support this move does not exist. The policy does stipulate that "original namesakes" (dagger being the example on the policy page) take precedence over everything else. One could potentially argue that the food type of stew should take precedence over a minor character, which I would probably be inclined to agree with assuming the character is indeed minor. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 01:49, August 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * The policy specifically states that major subjects trump original namesakes (examples like major film topics). Stew the clone trooper doesn't appear to meet this criteria, especially considering that we're just now creating an article for him from a show that ceased production three years ago. I would recommend putting him at "Stew (clone gunner)." Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:03, August 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * I can. Thanks for hearing me out. Feel free to pop on IRC for future discussion items. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:06, August 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * As a side matter, I would recommend also creating the Canon stew article to fill in that page. Ultimately, we will need to amend the naming policy to reflect continuity-specific as well as cross-continuity naming collisions. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:08, August 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * Is the Legends version ever referred to as Stew? I'm considering whether the Legends is Fury while the Canon version is Stew. It would depend on when Leland Chee made his comment. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:12, August 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * In that case, I would turn Fury into a disambiguation page, since there are multiple competing subjects. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:16, August 24, 2016 (UTC)
 * Glad to help. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 02:24, August 24, 2016 (UTC)

Discussion Forum series on how to be an Wookiepedia Editor
I've been thinking about this for months now. It's been on the back-burner as summer has been very busy for me. But now that summer is near it's end, and also the fact that 'categories' are just around the corner, this topic has been dominating my thoughts lately.

I would like to start a series in the forums. Something along the lines of a how-to thing, instructing our members in how to get more involved with contributing and editing the wiki itself.

Yes, there's tons of info out there, but it's fairly scattered and not easy to find for newcomers. I was thinking of coming up with a series where we can present everything in a very clear, concise and easy to digest format for the discussion forum masses.

We could even make 'homework'-like assignments where people get to practice what they learn without the fear of messing up the wiki or getting into trouble for doing something wrong.

What do you think about this?--ChristopherLeeGallant (talk) 01:55, August 24, 2016 (UTC)

Am I missing something? You've created two canon pages for material from Forged in Battle, which is listed here as a Legends source. ProfessorTofty (talk) 00:41, August 28, 2016 (UTC)

Hi AV! I recommend that you work on addressing the remaining objection on your Z-95 Headhunter nom, so that the AC can archive it and you can nominate the current CA Phatrong for GAN. Cheers!  Imperators II (Talk) 19:45, August 31, 2016 (UTC)

Forged in Battle
So, is everything in Forged in Battle considered canon? I just can't wrap my head around what all is canon and what isn't anymore. It's all so muddled, so I have just been treating everything from FFG as Legends. So, since it was just recently released, would the image of the Quarren from the cover of Forged in Battle be considered a canonical depiction of a Quarren? -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 02:18, September 1, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Contact

I need help
As per Brandon's suggestion, it's about time that I create a 'user page'. Is there a template that I can copy and past as a starting point? I'm still fairly lost here. Not sure where to start.

As you know, the majority of my Wookiepedia time is spent moderating and creating discussions. If I wasn't spending that much time on the forums, I'm sure I'd have no problems surfing through the countless articles on how to do this on my own. In order to save time and not take away from my responsibilities, any help in pointing me in the right direction would be greatful.

I'm familiar with code in general, but I also could use a cheat sheet of all the code that's used here. I'm sure there are a few pages on this and pointing me in the right direction would be wonderful. --ChristopherLeeGallant (talk) 18:45, September 2, 2016 (UTC)
