RE: Vestara Khai
Hey Taral. It's good to see you having a shot at a GAN, and I don't mind that you chose Vesatara since you wouldn't have known I was writing it myself. I'm planning to put Vestara's article on the FAN after Abyss comes out due to rule 5 of both the GAN and FAN which states "following the review process, be stable, i.e., does not change significantly from day to day", and if I nommed it now it would need a rather large update and would therefore not be stable. I have written the article up to about half-way through Omen and have it saved in a text file on my computer. Although I'm only half-way through the novel, it is already over 1,500 words so by looking at your version of the article I can tell it needs a major expansion. For an article to reach good or featured status it must be complete, and not just a summary. The complete Vestara article would be well over 1,000 words, so for your first GAN I would probably suggest trying an easier article, one that is shorter. I'm not trying to discourage you, so if you're really committed to this article then go for it, but it is probably better if you get some practice on smaller articles before attempting to write one like Vestara :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 03:20, 5 August 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem :-). I'm happy to help you with any future noms you may like to attempt, so feel free to ask :).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 12:29, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Webcomics
You should have a look at Buttersafe and Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal. Personally I find them as absurd as hilarious, especially the first. ;-) But maybe you know them. Klow 12:20, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Deletion
Trash compacting is not required for obviously terrible pieces of crap, as long as they don't have tenure. Use delete to mark pages that need killing quickly. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 01:27, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

Have you tried  ??? it is really good

Hello.
Hey I just wanted to say hi and mention that I love star gate and star trek. I noticed that all those sci-fi shows have some alien main character like stargate sg-i has teal'c. Please don't think I am some kind of annoying brat or anything it's just that I wanted to mention that.--Boom! 00:11, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Review for FAN
Hey Taral, I'm not the best at ships, but I'll take a look and review your FA nom of Inexpugnable-class tactical command ship.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 18:46, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. I used th think that the sources were needed for the intro, 'til I nomed Malak for the GA's. I'll have more objections for you later, and ask me if you need any assistance, I'll be glad to help if I can.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 19:28, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I know this is your first nom ever, so like Nayayen said, don't get discouraged. My first noms for Malak and Bandon failed, and I tried again, and there they are, Malak's a good article on it's way to being featured, I hope, and Bandon's featured.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 02:14, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Very good work, Taral I don't have any other objections, and have given my support for the article. Look forward to reviewing your next nom.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 16:57, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's great that your eager, however, you really don't need to be in a rush. You can really ask any of the Inqs, keep in mind that a lot of them are busy and might not get to review the article immediately. But they will, so. While we're on the subject, would you mind reviewing Saul Karath and Calo Nord? Especially the Karath article, considering if kinda goes with your current nom.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 17:34, November 23, 2009 (UTC)

Five Inqs total need to support it. Some of the Inqs


 * I'll just leave notes here as I look at your article:
 * For starters, we do not take infoboxes into consideration in the final word count. Only the introduction, main body, and Behind the scenes section.
 * Do not reference the introduction. It's just unnecessary, and will need to be removed.
 * Good job referencing by individual comic issue. I wish more people did this.
 * I might suggest revisiting your subsectioning of the "Characteristics" section. Since there is such brief content to fill each subsection, it would look better if you can choose more general subsection titles that encompass more text.
 * I've never read any KOTOR comics, so I don't know the value of the scope of the "History" section. What I will say, however, is never be afraid to go into detail. Elaboration is usually a good thing, but at the same time, be careful of making your prose too "play by play." Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:06, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

The Complete Vader
Just as an FYI, the release date for Star Wars: The Complete Vader is now been announced as [vault/books/news20091022.html October 25, 2011] and that is the date at Amazon for both US and Canada. My assumption is that any copies will be pulled from the shelf in the UK and those already sold, well, they're the lucky ones. As to your edit summary about publication dates not revolving around the US, that is technically incorrect. Wookieepedia is a US based wiki, which is why the WP:MOS favors American spellings and grammar over British. Same applies to publication dates. If a book happens to release early in a country other than the US, which is an extremely rare occurrence, then the "Futurebook" template should remain until the US release date and a Behind the scenes note can be added stating that it released earlier in such-and-such country. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 20:59, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Inexpuganble FAN
Hey Taral, you've only got a week remaining to address my objection on your Inexpugnable-class FAN. If you don't get to it by then, the INQ can remove the nomination as inactive. Just a heads up. Nayayen (talk) 13:39, November 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * I might have some more, yes. I've yet to find time to go through it fully with my copies of the comics to hand. To pass, a FAN must have 5 INQ votes and no outstanding objections. Were 5 INQ to vote now then it would pass, but these things take time; my first FAN from June-ish is still up (which is actually quite a long time). Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]](talk) 16:09, November 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries, if only answered some of my other questions hehe. I tend not to get the new issues until a week afterwards myself (given that it's the last one, I might see if I can get it earlier) so I'm probably not the best person to ask. I know that often seems to get them fairly soon, try asking him.  Nayayen &mdash; TALK  16:01, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Signature
I'm not sure, but I think you can only have one color other than blue in your signature. Don't quote me, though.&mdash;B-Boba Fett! Bounties collected  01:41, January 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * Okay, you can quote me now. I just looked. It says "You may have only one font color" on Signature policy. I can change it for you, if you want.&mdash;B-Boba Fett! Bounties collected Jaster's Feather.svg 01:42, January 17, 2010 (UTC)

Issue #49
Sure, I'll take a look at it. And if you could take a look at Karath's article, as well. I'd appreciate it.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 22:11, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, could you upload the image where Karath talks to Golliard after capturing him?--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 23:09, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 22:09, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * I didn't notice any other issues with the latest info. Good job.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 17:23, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just so you know, I have had a look at both yours and Kasra's articles and they were all good. Only #50 to go now...  Nayayen &mdash; TALK  14:05, February 1, 2010 (UTC)

Re: The opinion of a moderate Fandalorian
Hey, Taral. Well, at first I had a little freak-out, I'll admit. I didn't like the idea of what I already loved getting messed with. Pacifist Mandos, Mandalore being a desert, Sundari being the capital, and Jango not being a Mando at all?! But after I took a deep breath, looked around what the EU stuff was doing, and thought about it a little, I decided it wasn't so bad. It's not a huge stretch that some Mandos would be peaceful, after all, only the Death Watch wanted all out war all the time. As long as they're not saying all Mandos are pacifists (which the EU stuff makes clear), than I'm fine with them existing. I'm a little blurry on whether or not they're saying that the Mandalore in the episode was Kalevala (going by the name Mandalore) or the actual Mandalore, but either way it's not a big deal. Mandalore's not a one-climate planet, and there are deserts so what we see in the episode could just be one part of it while places like Keldabe have lush forests. And speaking of the planet's capital, Sundari's the New Mandalorian capital. Of course they'd need a capital to legitimize their claim as the dominant power to be recognized by the Senate, and the other guys aren't exactly going to hand over Keldabe to the faction that doesn't even acknowledge their existence. And yeah, I agree with your take that a lot of the "discrepancies" are simply lies ("Jango Fett was nothing but a common bounty hunter" my butt! lol) being told by the New Mando's politicians and such to appear in charge. The biggest issue I have in the long run is that they call themselves Mandalorians but don't seem to follow the Resol'nare, and those are the only thing it takes to be Mando. Other than that, I won't be throwing a fit any time soon. :D --Bella&#39;Mia 05:14, February 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Inexpugnable FAN
Basically, yes, you do need to wait for three more Inqs to review the article. The rules listed at the very top of the FAN page should be helpful to you. You're welcome to ask any available Inqs to do so, though how long it will take until they have some free time isn't always known.  CC7567  (talk) 03:37, February 16, 2010 (UTC)

Re:KOTOR 50
Sure thing, Taral. I'll be getting the comic tomorrow, so I'll let you know of one of the Inexies shows up. Sorry about you car, might wanna ask the comic shop to hold a copy for you. I imagine they'll seel out.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 18:44, February 16, 2010 (UTC)
 * Got the issue yesterday, and the Inexies do not show up at all in this issue. Glad I could be of assistance. Let me know if you need anything else.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 13:23, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Yo
Hey, just wanted to tell you that I like your Palpatine userbox. It echoes my sentiments. Unfortunately, Palpatine has been getting shafted way in the post-ROTJ EU somewhat, although I still feel he's awesome.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 01:42, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Request
Hey Taral. Now that the KotOR comic series has ended (sniff&hellip;), would you mind reviewing Darth Malak's article?--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 14:14, February 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, man. And don't worry, you'll enjoy the game, I think! :)--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 21:46, February 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hey man.
The little thing next to your name said I could talk to you. Your userboxes are cool. I am totally psyched about the old republic. What class will you want to be? I am totally going for the Jedi Consular. The description said that this class faces the most temptation by the dark side. I'm hoping for some serious moral choices. If I can play as a Kaleesh them that is totally the species I will be.User:Revanthereformer1138

Planets
Two planets that I think they have to put into TOR either right away or in an expansion are Mandalore and Yavin 4. I watched the developer dispatch on Taris. I am so glad the Drew Karpynshyn is writing for Taris. were you surprised about Dromuund Kaas? I know I was.User:Revanthereformer1138

Korriban zombie
Hey Taral. While it's nice that you are vigilant with checking articles, I just wanted to point out to you that I had put up a Wip template on the page and that meant that it is still undergoing some heavy editing. I have, and probably will continue to have, some mistakes and redundant information until I have finished writing the article. Thanks. Cylka  -talk- 00:31, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Belsavis
Hey dude. i just saw the Belsavis notice on TOR.com. This planet looks neat. What i want to know is how these Rakatan prisoners have survived for thousands of years. Got any cool speculations?User:Revanthereformer1138

Ruusan
Well, yes, it is a complicated issue. I talked to Cull, and after looking over sources, it seems that PoD is in fact the only one to mention eight battles, contradicting several other sources. Basically, it just makes more sense to have seven, despite what I initially thought. I believe we were overthinking it the first time around.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 20:24, March 16, 2010 (UTC)

Re: TOS Forums
That's me. Are you one of the regulars there? — Milo Fett [Comlink] 00:44, March 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, that's right. Actually, I think I remember you having said that during the BBY/ABY debate. Good to see you here! — Milo Fett [Comlink] 13:48, March 19, 2010 (UTC)

Thank You
Thank you so much with the help I will put it to good use.
