Welcome, GTQ!
Hello and welcome to Wookieepedia. I hope you like the place and choose to join our work. Here are a few good links for newcomers:

Wookieepedia aspires to be a reliable source for all Star Wars fans to read and draw information from, and as such, fan-created continuity and fan fiction are not allowed within our articles. All in-universe material must be attributable to a reliable, published source.

Do not remove talk page and forum comments, including your own, as they are part of the public record. Remember that you should always sign your comments on talk and vote pages using four tildes, like this: ~.

I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wookieepedian! If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the Senate Hall, visit our official IRC channel, or ask me on my talk page. May the Force be with you! &mdash; IFYLOFD  ( Floyd's crib ) 01:22, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

Unverified info
Thank you for contributing to Wookieepedia! Please note that at least one of your recent additions added unverified information to a mainspace article. Additions to Wookieepedia's articles must be verifiable by a reliable source per our sourcing policy, and unverified information may be reverted or deleted. Continuing to add unverified information may lead to you being blocked from editing by an administrator. Thank you. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 14:36, November 13, 2010 (UTC)

Warning
Do not edit an article with an template on it. It means that the article is undergoing a major edit, so do not edit it as a courtesy to the user making the edit.  IFYLOFD  ( Floyd's crib ) 03:16, December 14, 2010 (UTC)

Featured Articles and Good Articles
My guess is that you nominated Dark Apprentice (clone) and Orbit without really understanding what would be required of you. That is what everyone else seems to be guessing, too. Nominating an article means that you are intending to work on it. It's not just a simple yes-no vote. Any objections placed must be addressed, and it is the nominator's responsibility to address them. Currently, there is a single objection, likely placed to test your commitment to the process. If you can find a source for the Dark Apprentice's height (Or Galen Marek's height), and add it as a tag to the article, people may take your nomination seriously, and give the article an actual review. If you have no intention of dedicating yourself to the improvement process, make a comment so that we can remove your nomination and allow someone else to work the article. SinisterSamurai 18:25, December 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Note that this also applies to CA nominations. If you don't have the time to work on the nomination because of work or social obligations, post a notice in the comments section so that reviewers know that you do at least intend to work on the article at some stage. Your nomination (Quesh) has multiple objections. Resolve objections by reading the objection, fixing the problem, and making a note of it on the nomination so that the objector can check your work.

Follow up

 * Removing the FAnom template is only allowed by users with Inquisitor status. Your comment on the FAnom page has started a vote to remove your nomination. The process has a lot of red-tape, but that is the process. Simply removing the FAnom template is considered... inelegant at best, and vandalism at worst. Now that a vote has begun, however, the issue will resolve itself. Thank you, but do not attempt to remove the FAnom template again. :) SinisterSamurai 02:23, December 24, 2010 (UTC)

Just Learning
I'm just learning things here at wookieepedia so please forgive my mistakes GTQ

Welcome!
Welcome to Wookie! I'm new here too and also learning to ropes, it's nice to see that i'm not the only one on here that's new! lol. if you find yourself in need of a helping hand, i'll be glad to help you if i can, just ask! i'm on here almost everyday so it shouldn't take to long for me to answer! AricaBolts 22:33, December 29, 2010 (UTC)

Unidentified animal (Quesh)

 * Alright, here is some of the other problems with the article. First, the title could be more descriptive, such as Unidentified flying species (Quesh) and add to the top of the article. (The creature will probably get a canon name when TOR is released). The name of the article must be included in the name field of the infobox. If an article only has one source or appearance, you do not need to list it twice in two different sections. An appearance refers to the article's subject being in a narrative work (such as in the story of a novel or comic book) while a source refers to it being in a encyclopedia or source guide (like The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia or The Essential Atlas). At the moment, its only published appearance or source is the Holonet, so you only need to put it under the Source header. However, since its obvious this creature will likely appear in The Old Republic, that would go under the Appearance header. Additionally, for articles this small with multiple headers, we usually hide the table of contents by adding  to the article's body. The names of out of universe media (like Star Wars: The Old Republic) need to be in italics in all instances it appears in the article. If a descriptive category for the article doesn't exist, you are free to make one (such as Category:Species of Quesh). You also forgot to use the Template:Eras template. Simply add  to the article. You have two instances of the same reference as well. That's about all that I can see at the moment. Sorry about the wall of text but I wrote this as I saw them. Cheers!  OLIOSTER   (talk) 15:04, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I should also mention the Layout Guide, the Manual of Style and the Sourcing guide, which will help you create a better article.  OLIOSTER  (talk) 15:06, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Rattataki
I understand that your edit was completely in-line with canon, but the prose you added was taken almost verbatim from the Rattataki Holonet page. You need to vary your word choice and paraphrase, as taking the information word-for-word is plagiarism. Also, there were a number of tense and grammatical issues in the text you added. Feel free to re-add the information, but give it a proof-read first and make sure it's not too similar to the original source. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 00:21, March 8, 2011 (UTC)

Redlinks
Hi GTQ, I just thought I'd explain to you why I just reverted your edit in the Mission to the Ando system article. The idea behind redlinks is that they are removed by creating an article for the subject that is linked to, not by simply removing the link. I appreciate that your edit was in good faith, so please don't see this as a reprimand; I'm just trying to help you understand site policy. --Jinzler 20:18, March 18, 2011 (UTC)

File names
Would you please use better file names when uploading files? Time and date are not really the most descriptive names I can think off. Please use FTBR to get the two files you've already uploaded moved. Thank you. 1358 (Talk)  16:22, March 21, 2011 (UTC)

Vice-director
sorry fixed it GTQ 13:16, April 2, 2011 (UTC) Thanks did not know where it belonged in categories GTQ 13:35, April 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Good job. Just remember to italicize novel titles in future. Also, try to find a fitting category for the article. I suggest Category:Titles.  Holocron Greatholocron.jpg (Complain) 13:31, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Category
When creating new articles, please remember to add a proper category. This is required of all articles. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:50, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

so,so sorry i always do thatGTQ 02:55, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Hello
Hey GTQ, I read your Senate Hall post, and I've been looking over some of the articles you've written. It's good to see that you are trying to make a good faith effort to help the Wook. The main thing you're forgetting when writing your articles is to categorize them. You need to find categories that that article fits in to. For example, in your Jahan Cross article, you should have put Category:Humans and Category:Imperial agents in brackets at the bottom of the page. Also, when you say the articles title the first time in the body, you need to put the name in between three ' to bold it. Such as:

"Jahan Cross was an Imperial Agent...."

Say instead

"Jahan Cross was an....."

Finally, in the Sources section, put an asterisk in front of each source entry. So:

Sources

blah blah blah

You instead use

Sources
 * blah blah blah

Whenever you write an article read it over to make sure there's no grammar or linking mistakes. Finally, whenever another user edits your pages, look over the edits that user did to see what you forgot. You can learn from you mistakes. I hope that help GTQ. If you need anything else, just drop me a message on my talk page. Kilson 04:20, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Vrath Xizor
Hey GTQ, please do not add the more sources template to an article unless it actually needs more sources listed in the sources and/or appearances section(s). I removed the tag from Vrath Xizor because Vrath only has one appearance&mdash;Star Wars: The Old Republic: Deceived&mdash;and that appearance was already listed in the article. Thank you. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 20:15, April 3, 2011 (UTC)

Brassbound GAN
Hey GTQ,

I just want to let you know that your objection on the Brassbound nomination has been answered. Yours is the only objection keeping it from being approved, so if you could strike when you have a moment, it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, —Tommy  9281  Saturday, April 9, 2011, 20:20 UTC

GAN
Hello, GTQ. A reminder that you currently have a remaining outstanding objection on the Brassbound GAN, which is now currently holding up the nom from successfully passing. Please take a moment to see if your objection has been satisfactorily addressed, and if so, please strike the objection so the nomination may be approved. If you do not respond to this matter promptly, your objection may be formally stricken by the AC. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:21, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello again, GTQ. Another reminder that you have an unaddressed objection on this nom that's been there for awhile. As the nom is nearing successful completion, we would ask you to please take a look at it to make sure you're satisfied when you have a chance. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 03:37, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Re:WP:NJO
I can make those for you. That is, if you are talking about the red, green, and yellow templates found on most project pages that keeps up with the number of GAs, FAs, and CAs are under the project. If that's what you are talking about, I would be glad to make them. However, the code goes directly onto the page. The template itself is just the number of articles, and it must be manually updated. Yes those templates were what is was referring to thanks, GTQ 22:44, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, just wanted to say that you've really jumped in and tried to make something of yourself here. It's good to see new users jumping right in and helping out. It's what we want from new guys. :) MasterFred Commerce Guild.svg(Whatever) 12:52, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh, and one more thing to help you out. From now on, try and use proper grammar on Wookieepedia. It's not required, but it looks more professional, and people will take you more seriously. Just a hint. Keep up the good work! MasterFred Commerce Guild.svg(Whatever) 12:53, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * It seems as if Menkooroo has taken care of the templates. That is, if those were the ones you were refering to. MasterFred Commerce Guild.svg(Whatever) 16:30, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

Stricking your objection
Hey GTQ, I believe I have addressed your objection to my Krepauk nom. Could you please look over my response and, if you're satisfied with it, strike your objection. If you are not satisfied, please leave a message on how I could improve my nom. Thanks Kilson ( Let's have a chat ) 21:05, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Prenom
Hey! Sorry it's taken a few days for me to get back to you. I will take a look at the Mission to Bimmiel article today or tomorrow. Menkooroo 02:09, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Same for me. I've got some other things to do first, but I should have time soon enough.  Holocron Greatholocron.jpg (Complain) 09:05, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * no problem understoodGTQ 12:31, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * I happened upon this and took a look at the article. First off, every paragraph needs to be individually referenced, along with every field in the infobox. I can tell right off the bat that a lot still needs to be done to the article, but no worries. We're willing to work with you. Good to see you're wanting to get involved and learn the process! MasterFred Commerce Guild.svg(Whatever) 12:53, April 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok article has been sourced thanks for all the help. I really need itGTQ 22:55, April 21, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks man, it was my first time;)Infernalchaos 14:52, April 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey there! I recommend checking through Ruin; I feel like the mission is mentioned at some point in that novel. It would need to be added to the Appearances list with a tagged onto it. The book might also reveal some new info about it, particularly for the "Aftermath" section. You should also go through Onslaught and find some relevant quotes for the article. Do you have The New Jedi Order Sourcebook? It definitely mentions the article and it might have some new info on it. I can get you that info if you need it. Sorry this has taken so long; I've been knee-deep in Wookiee poop for a couple weeks now. :P Menkooroo 11:51, April 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well I don't have the NJO sourcebook (from before I became a fan.) feel free to add stuff from it the quote I will deal with soon, and it is mentioned i ruin. but, I am also knee deep in stuff outside of the wook so i and i don't have time to deal with it now but it will be done probably tomorrow or tuesday.GTQ 00:59, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Manual of Style
Hey,GTQ. I just created those articles and didn't have time to check them yet. If you could point out my mistake in more detail I would appreciate it. I like to learn from mistakes. Oya ner vod! Cal Jedi (Personal Comm Channel) 01:18, May 9, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Manual of Style
Ok thanks. I already looked at the Manual of Style and I'll try to watch my grammar. I didn't realize that I didn't bold the first mention. I normally do. I'm just learning to do infoboxes, so it might take a little bit to get it mastered. But thanks for your suggestions. I'm always looking to improve. ''Oya ner vod! K'oyacyi!'' Cal Jedi (Personal Comm Channel) 00:27, May 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright thanks. I'll try and put that suggestion on the talk page for Unidentified nurse. Oya ner vod! K'oyacyi! Cal Jedi (Personal Comm Channel) 01:39, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

PLEASE
This power isnt non-canon, check the Star wars roleplaying Game, First Editon, its listed as a redlink72.229.183.70 19:39, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Dude
Okay listen, i catch your drift, but I cant make the articles correctly, yet they are canon, go to star wars mush wiki or just check the various roleplaying guides on this wiki, jeez72.229.183.70 19:53, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

Battle staff
I have just reverted your edit to the above article. The battle staff is mentioned on p.215 of The Clone Wars Campaign Guide, in the role-playing statistics for Merumeru. --Jinzler 21:26, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
