Welcome! I am Derek Yoda's friend, and this is my talk page, feel free to talk to me about anything, I specialize in Lightsaber Combat, especialy Makashi. You can call me Yoda's friend, Makashimaster15, or just Derek.

Lightsaber forms

 * I'm glad you're interested in them. I am also, but under the new rules, everything on the articles must be sourced, so if you add anything on any form, I will check it for accuracy. I give this warning, because I've seen an incredible amount of "fan opinions" that have no canonical backing.

 * If you have canonical evidence to back this up (i.e. a book, etc. says that Makashi has x parry, y salute, etc.), then, go ahead. If you're basing your evidence on what you've observed . . . well, that's not really canon. But I would have no problems Wookifying any canonical content you have to add.

 * Uh . . . could you be a little more specific on what sites you're using. Because the only official online ones we can use are listed here. And Kai-kan is actually something quite different. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 16:09, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I see what you mean, but that's fan analysis, even if it might be correct, it's not canon. It's all based on interpretation. Here's the difference between canon and non-canon. Canon: The Episode III Visual Dictionary has a picture of Aayla Secura with a caption that says "Aayla Secura in a Djem So stance." Non-canon: "Shaak Ti uses Ataru because she jumps around a lot in the Clone Wars cartoon." Ergo, we can't place that in the article. Moreover, there are a lot of unreliable Internet sites that post fanon explanations. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 23:05, 9 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No, it wasn't you at all. You can still edit them, and only Makashi is protected anyway. I was tired of IP users adding speculation to the article, so it's semi-protected against anonymous users. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 23:54, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Various Other Mail

 * I'm sorry if it came across as threatening. Please, edit the article and make it better. I was having a bad day that day when I wrote that. I won't ban for making good faith edits, just please use a canonical source is all. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 00:27, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * And I don't think I threatened anyone with banning, except maybe one user who kept inserting original research after a couple of warnings. If I did, I would give a couple of warnings first. I'm not ban-happy at all.  Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 02:49, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry about this whole thing- I seemed to have confused you. First of all, I can't give you "orders." Being an administrator is nothing as far as power to order people around. It just means I have to do more maintenance on boring things and I'm here to help new users. Second, we don't edit messages on talk pages so we have a record of who said what, so please don't delete anything off the page. Third, what I meant was that you can edit/change any article on this site. You don't need to ask permission. Look at Be bold in updating pages. If you see something from canon we're missing, add it. If something is mispelled, fix it. Also, we're not out to ban people or make them feel unwelcome, so if I've given you that impression, I apologize. Cheers.

 * You can vote any time by going to a page like WP:WOTM, editing the section that lists all the votes, and typing four ~. All you need to have in order to vote is a Wookieepedia account, which you already have. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 20:24, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. It's the same basic idea. You go to an entry. Say, for example, "Ackbar." Click on the little blue edit over his section with his votes underneath it. You should then be editing that section. Then, go to the bottom of the list of votes and type #~ to vote for it. You can also place a comment between the # and the tildes (~) if you want. Then press save. Does that explain it well? Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 21:36, 11 February 2007 (UTC)
 * There's not a specific limit. Once you create an account, you can vote- so go ahead! And you're not annoying. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 21:47, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

Re:

 * Does the term "April Fool's" mean anything to you? Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 03:35, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * About as much as "cannon" does. CooperTFN 05:24, 1 April 2007 (UTC)
 * And I do know what canon means, just because I can not spell it correctly does not mean you have to assume that I do not know the meaning. But now you do know how to spell it. And knowing is half the battle. CooperTFN 04:15, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Wheeled
Thanks for your contributions to Wookieepedia. However, to let you know, I have deleted the wheeled article. Making a page for that is like making pages for other adjectives such as blue or green. Unless it's defined as an official vehicle class, I don't believe we need this page. 01:39, 2 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks again for understanding. A whole lot better than some users who just get grumpy and complain if that happens. 02:19, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Time Zone

 * We use UTC. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 22:42, 2 April 2007 (UTC)

Re:Opening stances

 * Makashi, Ataru, and Shien (Ep. III novelization) all have canonical opening stances. None of the others are canonically sourced, AFAIK. Atarumaster88  00:32, 11 May 2007 (UTC)
