Stuffed Bantha
Holy crap! I was wondering if an article like Stuffed bantha would actually be allowed here! The guys at wikipedia would consider that a joke. Actually, I put it up as one, not believing that even the star wars wiki would want it. Truly amazing that it was allowed to stay! Adamwankenobi 06:35, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Lumpy's toy is an iconic element of the first Star Wars sequel, and it was a crucial token in the biography of a beloved secondary character. Since this object was actually built and filmed, it is arguably a lot more "real" than most of the items that were only invented (textually) in later generations of printed, spin-off works. Sundew 06:53, 15 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Hlaano
Rifs, there's a character in the Wiki, one Jedi Senator Ralen Hlaano (spelling?) whose canonicity I wish to challenge. Please check it out.

This user has placed sexual profanity on articles Sian Jeisel and Galdos Stouff. I have reverted them, but you should consider blocking him. -- SFH 23:54, 17 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Consider? The guy must get kicked out immediately! --Master Starkeiller 09:54, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * This IP appears to be an AOL proxy. Blocking it may block a fair number of legitimate edits by AOL users by default. &mdash;Darth Culator 20:53, 18 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * What are the chances that the proxy in question will have other legitimate users using it? -- Riffsyphon1024 00:35, 19 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Categories
Dude, the Categories need to be better organized. Can I help with this?

never mind

Trouble logging in
Hi Riff, I can't seem to log in to Star Wars Wiki. I enter my details on the login page, and then it says i'm logged in, but when I go to another page i'm automatically logged out again. This is happening from both my home and work computers. Is there anything you can do? Cheers --Azizlight 23:38, 20 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Do you have your cookies working, because that's how I'm logged on now. Maybe the reason yours is screwed up is if you're telling it to remember you on two computers, but I don't know if that's the case. The site, including the rest of Wikicities, has also been extremely slow last night but has since speeded up. In addition we were vandalized by pirates on Talk Like A Pirate Day, with the logo being Pirateopedia. -- Riffsyphon1024 21:09, 20 Sep 2005 (EDT)
 * Everything's under control, situation normal :-) Thanks Riff, seems like it's decided to start working again.--Azizlight 06:06, 21 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Re: Insider 84
Righto. I'll lay off the Insider updates for a while. Kuralyov 23:56, 20 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Canon
How do you put up a canon warning? -Xilentshadow900 19:20, 23 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * or . -- Riffsyphon1024 00:14, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Sith Empire a Sector?
Is it accurate to list the Sith Empire as the sector for Korriban, Ziost, and Thule? I realize that we have no idea of the sector name the unholy triad are found in, but the First Sith Empire was all over the Outer Rim. -- SFH 23:58, 24 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * I wouldn't consider it a sector unless it was recognized as one by the Galactic Republic. -- Riffsyphon1024 00:12, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * In addition I would leave it as a government region. -- Riffsyphon1024 00:25, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Death Star II

 * Edit war in process on this page. Can we get it locked? QuentinGeorge 00:20, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * 66.189.171.19 has also been deleting links and references to stardestroyer.net in other articles. It might be better to just block him. --Vermilion 00:38, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Righto. -- Riffsyphon1024 02:23, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Force categorization
I saw you mentioned on Sparq's talk page that you would like to see me begin implementing my proposed categorization scheme as soon as possible. I've been waiting eagerly to begin this process, but I was under the impression that it was at a standstill because of the character categorization issues. Should I go ahead and begin while the current character structure is still in place? That would certainly speed things up. – Aidje talk 06:02, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes go ahead. I would appreciate that something got done. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:03, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Sweet. I've got quite a bit of homework at the moment, but I'll definitely get cracking on re-categorizing as soon as I can. – Aidje talk 18:09, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

This user is vandalizing various entries on planets. You may want to block him. -- SFH 21:43, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)

reply to your message
I'm so sorry, I had no idea you could resize them like that. I was looking for a way to do so, but I oculdn't figure it out. I didnt mean to spam the site with images of the same thing, it's just that I didn't know how to remove them either. -- Xilentshadow900 02:31, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)


 * Err, I can't delete images... Xilentshadow900 02:38, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Right, I've cleaned things up, and the ones that need to be deleted are:
 * Image:Bts bg.jpg
 * Image:CCp1s.JPG
 * Image:CCp1.JPG
 * Image:Dc15.JPG
 * Image:Skytrooper.JPG
 * Image:Clonep12.JPG


 * Again, I'm really sorry about this.

Xilentshadow900 02:52, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Simple misunderstanding of the software. You've learned from your mistake. -- Riffsyphon1024 02:57, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)


 * by the way, have you read the refined Clone Trooper Article? I put a lot of work into that one. -- Xilentshadow900 03:02, 27 Sep 2005 (UTC)

Jundland Waste (Sandbox)

 * Firstly, thanks for "raking the waste" on the Sandbox page, but could you do it a little more irrugularly. Leaving more time in between rakes. its just we need new users to see what can be done on SWW in terms of editing. Thanks -- Jasca Ducato 20:57, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)
 * Of course I'll rake more 'irrugularly'. -- Riffsyphon1024 23:17, 28 Sep 2005 (UTC)

81.12.220.94
This guy has made several profane edits to the ROTS page and made several nonsense articles. He should be banned. Kuralyov 13:33, 3 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Category population
About how many articles are required to remove the request tag from underpopulated categories? I've been working on the Armor section and wanted to know about how many more pieces of armor I have to add before it's considered "populated". Shadowtrooper talk 03:17, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * About 5-10 depending on the subject matter. -- Riffsyphon1024 14:45, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Block
I just got on my computer to find that I have been blocked. It said that I used vulgarity. I never used vulgarity on here. And why are you banning me after all this time? I said I was sorry. I don't know why you won't leave it alone anymore. I promise that I will never do that again.(Prince Xizor 05:03, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)) I'm sorry. It said that you blocked me.Prince Xizor 03:08, 6 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I haven't be on the wiki today, until now and I haven't blocked you. Maybe you need to ask one of the other four admins. -- Riffsyphon1024 14:46, 4 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that's interesting. Well don't do it again, or I will lay down my wrath upon you. -- Riffsyphon1024 18:21, 7 Oct 2005 (UTC)

81.182.83.124
This little vandal wants to get blocked. Kuralyov 20:21, 13 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I gave him a temporary ban, though he'll probably not be back anyway. – Aidje talk 05:10, 18 Oct 2005 (UTC)

81.17.207.36
This user keeps removing a quote from the clone trooper page that he deems unimportant apparently. suggest ban. Xilentshadow900 18:09, 15 Oct 2005 (UTC)

68.160.38.145
This user keeps vandilizing talk pages and posting negative comments. I suggest ban.
 * I support the suggestion of a ban. StarNeptune 00:04, 17 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I gave him a warning earlier today. I don't think a ban is warranted just yet. This seems to be more a case of n00bism than of vandalism. He'll probably either learn or leave of his own will. – Aidje talk 05:12, 18 Oct 2005 (UTC)

68.163.202.252
Anon # 68.163.202.252 should be banned for vandalism. Thanks in advance, &mdash; Silly Dan  00:59, 18 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Wipe this pathetic user from the face of the Wookiee! -- SFH 01:04, 18 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * He's done (I stuck a fork in him). – Aidje talk 05:05, 18 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Cartographer has given permission
received the following from Carty in my PM box on the boards:

"If you're still interested in my maps, I'd be happy to allow there use for Wookieepedia. It's a cool project and I'd be honored to be a part of it."

so all lights are green! JustinGann 18:46, 18 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Awesome. I assume all maps have already been uploaded, then again have they? -- Riffsyphon1024 19:44, 18 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Propositional Organization
There's been a bit of a debate over at the Battle of Coruscant (Clone Wars) page. I argue that this should be called the first battle, because in the other, it was just anakin killing a bunch of droids, which can hardly be called a battle. I think it would be so much simpler if events were arranged by:
 * Battles- Battle of Kashyyyk, Battle of Cato neimoidia
 * Missions- The devaron Ruse, Mission to the rig

If we arranged the two separatley, it would make organizing the clone wars, or any war, a lot easier. --Xilentshadow900 10:14, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I disagree, mainly because, didn't we already have this discussion? QuentinGeorge 06:15, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * In fact, we didn't. Xilentshadow900 10:14, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Happy Birthday!
Now you can legally drink everywhere except Utah, I think. &mdash; Silly Dan 03:12, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * I've already tasted a beer, a Kahlua, and a drop of whiskey, none of which I enjoyed. I need to wash them down with some blue milk. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:13, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Jameson & Ginger Ale. It won't do you wrong. --SparqMan 04:36, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Happy birfdae! Xilentshadow900 10:15, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Wine. For your first alcohol experience, you want wine.  Happy birthday. Thanos6 18:22, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)

New template request
Because Battles can't describe all Jedi or clone commando or other activity during the Clone wars, or any war for that matter, I think a new template would be very useful for different, smaller, but still significant events. A "mission" template would be great, and there we could put stuff that don't really go with battles, but link to other articles better. Xilentshadow900 23:32, 25 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * It's a good idea, considering that not all engagements were full out battles but just minor encounters and missions. Present it to the community before creating it if you haven't done so already. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:18, 26 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Canon
Can I have your permission to put a non-canon tag on Marvel Star Wars 78: Hoth Stuff? This is the only tale in the Marvel line that is complete bunk; it has Wedge as Luke's child hood buddy, basically he takes Biggs' backstory and a huge number of Fans consider it to be too condtradictive after Shadows of the Empire. Anyways let me know when you get a chance. Thanks a lot. Wasn't sure about the Char-stub on the bombtrooper, thanks for fixing it btw.

sniktawt 03:25, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Well the thing is it was probably canon when it was released but has since been overwritten by Biggs story. I don't get into canon that much but try asking Silly Dan, Kuralyov, jSarek, QuentinGeorge, or SparqMan. -- Riffsyphon1024 19:31, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that it was officially declared apocryphal. So yeah, sniktawt, go ahead and slap a non canon on the actual paqe that contains the plot summary. QuentinGeorge 19:33, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * You can always rely on Quentin to sort these things out. -- Riffsyphon1024 19:37, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Wait, I'm one of the canon experts now? I chose this username so that no one would take me seriously, for pete's sake...having said that, I believe that this WOTC article has brought it into canon as a bizarre tall tale Wedge tells new recruits (though based partly on something that actually happened shortly after ESB.)  &mdash; Silly Dan  22:34, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Somewhat unrelated, but should the single-player story in Battlefront II be considered canonical?--Xilentshadow900 23:51, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Yes, we typically do treat the single-player story of games as canon. WhiteBoy 23:20, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)

Also Luke is way out of character even before he heard the log, going balisitic over his best buddy and such.Basically obsessed because he was his frind from Tatooine.It's just way broad even for a Marvel issue. The real explanation I can gather is that this was a fill in issue and Michelinie had this tale wrote maybe before he knew some history or it just snuck by some Lucas people cause they didn't know one way or another either. sniktawt 9:56, 31 Oct 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks guys, I'll put a non canon on it as Biggs' Backstory as Luke's best friend was around long before this tale (See Marvel Star Wars 17 and even # 1 and 5, 6, the novel) .I still never bought into the "tall tale" explanation, mainly because the story is not told at the beginning from Wedge's perspective It's a flashback tale for sure, but not a flashback tale where he tells other pilots the story.Luke, Leia and some unnamed pilot find a transmission log he made, therefore he would have no reason to lie on the log, because this would have been the first time he told the tale.

Gundark
Hey there! Thanks for the help on the newly-created gundark article! I was kind of in a rush to get it created, so my grammar wasn't really up to snuff. --Culix 06:00, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Just doing my usual work. Check the reply on the talk page. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:02, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Sources vs Appearances
You must know that it is improper to place both the same book or comic or movie as both a source and an appearance. It clutters up the article by repeating itself. Books or guides with info on something are under Sources. Movies, comics, and books where the person or thing makes an appearance goes under Appearances. -- Riffsyphon1024 20:01, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Soz - I wasn't thinking straight and couldnt decide which one to use so put both until my brain worked and I could re-edit it. Looking back I can't believe I was being so thick! Emtrey 20:42, 1 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Do you know this man?
Steven Greenwood: a very stubby article, i figured either you or WhiteBoy could complete it :-) --Azizlight 01:45, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Shit, you caught me. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:23, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Lol :-) --Azizlight 04:29, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * And now feast your eyes upon my great bio, not finished yet though. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:44, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)

SUPERSHADOW ALERT
I dont know whether its the actual Supershadow or whether its one of his disciples but someone has made strange reverts all over the place by the name of Supershadow. It would be wise to take a look before more damage is done. --Darth Mantus 17:56, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC) I've just tried to get onto my user talk page and he's reverted it to the main page. I am going to seriously hurt this idiot. YOU have power stop him! --Darth Mantus 17:56, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Angela has already fixed this problem. Yay! -- Riffsyphon1024 19:04, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Yeh its great!--Darth Mantus 19:37, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)

WookieeNews Logo
Hi. I'm concerned about this image. I feel it is violating Wikimedia trademarks. Could you please make something else for Wookienews? Angela (talk) 20:28, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * Aw nuts. -- Riffsyphon1024 20:46, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I don't see how...--Xilentshadow900 22:32, 2 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * By altering the original. Don't worry, I'll think of something new. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:10, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * I wonder if we could creatively combine ideas from HoloNet News and WikiNews? WhiteBoy 06:35, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * That was my intention. See my Thinktank. -- Riffsyphon1024 22:03, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Re: Of all time
Somehow, I'm not surprised that Lucas is the one to cross that boundry. Kuralyov 04:45, 3 Nov 2005 (UTC)

All those animals on Mimban
I've been meaning to ask you this for a while Riff... quite a while back you created a bunch of sourceless articles about creatures of Mimban, such as the Aboe. Just wondering what the source is for all these, I'm guessing Splinter of the Mind's Eye or a related sourcebook? I flicked thru SotME a couple of times, but couldn't find the references. Thanks. --Azizlight 01:32, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * You might have to go over those. I grabbed some from Wikipedia but as always, those people cannot be trusted. So check them over if you must. I believe the creatures themselves are canon, but they might not all come from Mimban. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:37, 4 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Main Page history
Has anyone archived the Main Page history that was disrupted by the vandalism run today? Also, I think now might be a good time for us to reconsider moving the entire front page to templates and then locking it. --SparqMan 01:03, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)

Pedophilia in my watch list?!?!?!?!!?
Umm, I'm not sure how, and I'm not sure who to bring this up to, but these wierd articles with "Pedophilia" in the title keep ending up in my watch list even though I didn't add them. It's kinda wierd. Any ideas? Shadowtrooper talk 01:19, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * This was due to the vandal we had earlier today. &mdash; Silly Dan  01:30, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
 * According to the "Popular Pages" list, the Main Page is still listed as Pedophilia_rules! Thanos6 01:49, 6 Nov 2005 (UTC)
