Forum:SH:The Next Barnburner!!

March is fast drawing to a close, and I think we need a new Barnburner around these parts. It would probally run in May and June, as putting it in April is not that feasible as it is so close. Some of the possible themes I've though up are criminals (which would include bounty hunters and pirates), starships, and the Yuuzhan Vong. Any thoughts on the theme of this Barnburner? 501st dogma ( talk ) 17:57, March 24, 2013 (UTC)


 * Vong I don't think would be a good one, simply because that limits us to a small number of sources. We want something that can come from as wide an array of sources as possible to make it as easy as possible to contribute. Criminals could be a good one, though. Another possibility is simply "the Force", which could cover everything from Force powers to individual Force users to Jedi missions and lightsaber duels to whole Force-using organizations and anything associated with them. How does that sound? &mdash;MJ&mdash; Holocomm 18:07, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Honestly, MJ, the Force is one of the most used themes around these parts. At least 50% of the current nominations are within that focus. As for my personal suggestion, Criminals or content related to a specific planet or species. (Corellia-affiliated or Bothans for instance) Winterz (talk) 18:14, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree with Winterz, the Force doesn't really need a community-wide effort. I think articles that are usually neglected should be our aim. I'm also not sure working on specific planet or species articles are a good idea, it's too restrictive a scope. Let's hear some more ideas.  Stake black   msg 18:22, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * The first Barnburner was Wookiees, so we could do a big species like that maybe that's being neglected. But not Ewoks. As to the Vong, they do limit us to a small number of sources, but they are pretty neglected I think. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 18:39, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Stake, I meant Planet/Species-related content. Corellia for instance has many locations, cultures, native species (sentient or not), battles, characters, entertainment-wise, etc.. That is certainly not "very specific" ;). Winterz (talk) 20:01, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Ages ago, I suggested Coruscant and everything related to it. 1358  (Talk)  21:01, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I'd go for Coruscant. It's got more sources, at least.  Stake black   msg 21:04, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Coruscant definitely is something I'd enjoy working on. --LelalMekha (talk) 21:07, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Coruscant would work. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 21:16, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * (Three edit conflicts!) I was actually thinking about this the other day! I can't say I'd be able to do much in a Corellia or Coruscant barn burner as I don't have a great amount of sources for them, but crime sounds good to me.  Commander Code-8  G'day, mate 21:18, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Argh, Xd, you just ruined it! :c In my opinion, Coruscant is overused. There are so many other major planets like Corellia or Rodia, why always Coruscant. Besides, there are few species native to it, which is buzzkill for our WP:Aliens sirs. Winterz (talk) 22:07, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree with Jon to a certain point, why not just do articles on Force powers, maybe?&mdash; 22:08, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * Coruscant sounds like a good idea to me although I was thinking a region of the galaxy could work as well like the Outer Rim, the Core or something smaller like the Corporate Sector. Planets, species and battles found their would all be relevant.Ayrehead02 (talk) 23:58, March 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * We could do the Unknown Regions perhaps..... Chiss and stuff, ya know. 501st  dogma ( talk ) 01:08, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * I like the idea of doing a certain region of space, it would offer a nice variety of articles to work on. Supreme Emperor (talk) 01:12, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * I agree.  Stake black   msg 01:26, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * This time, I'm in. Winterz (talk) 01:38, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * So by reigion is it just meaning anything in a particular reigion of space, characters who lived there, location, battles etc?  Commander Code-8  G'day, mate 05:37, March 25, 2013 (UTC)
 * Just read what Ayrehead said, but I'm not overly crazy about the reigion idea, I mean there are probably already tons of Outer Rim based articles that have achieved status, whereas we want to do something that doesn't have overly huge coverage on the Wook.
