[edit] Comics

I'm really into the comics, so I've been adding some to the timeline that aren't there (yet?), and I'd seen the Tales Volumes 1-6 listed at the bottom but totally swapped Volumes and Issues in my head, and figured that just talking about the first 6 isssues, and so I added a whole lot in the timeline to chronological estimates i've gathered from various sources (the ones that were consistant with each other)over the past couple of years that study the context and content of the comic. Granted, a lot of them are actually pretty shaky with as to where exactly they are, and i've left those out. So should I just go back and take all the Tales comics I've listed or what? I don't mind either way.--Skope 23:34, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

No keep what you did, you did a fine job. (I was going to invite you to the WikiProject but you were already a member!!). The Tales Volumes on the bottom are unrelated to the Sith era one so don't worry. Again Nice Job. Jedi6-(need help?) 23:41, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thank You

I would really like to thank for all your great contributions you are making to the Star Wars Related Articles. Thank you! - Tutmosis 00:54, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book Covers

1. First go here and download the images on to your computer, [1]. Make sure you right click the picture and use "save picture as" and save it. Make sure you make it a jpg. file. If it isn't turning into a jpg. file try choosing the option "refresh in full quality" then try again. Make sure to save it to a good name.
2. Next go to Special:Upload and upload the file. Make sure you choose the book cover license. Also include the URL and appropiate description in the summary section. See here for an example, Image:Han Solo Trilogy.jpg.
3. Next go to the page you want to add the image to and use Template:Infobox SW Books. Add the image by using [[Image|center|200px]]

If you have any more questions just ask! Jedi6-(need help?) 01:34, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Good job, you seem to have the hang of it! Jedi6-(need help?) 01:55, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Book Template

I made a couple changes to the template you added at Legacy of the Jedi. Jedi6-(need help?) 01:52, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Also check the talk page of Template:Infobox SW Books. It has a how to guide and example. Jedi6-(need help?) 01:53, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Just trying to help! Jedi6-(need help?) 02:03, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Go ahead. Jedi6-(need help?) 03:08, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

I have to ask you, where are you getting all the great info like the exact size? Jedi6-(need help?) 03:32, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Good Job

[edit] The Changing of the Guard

Thank you for putting the book cover for The Changing of the Guard. I have tried days to do it. Weirdy 22:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Category Star Wars books

Alot of the books you just added to category Star Wars are already there under Catergory Jedi Apprentice. Catergory Jedi Apprentice is a sub category of Category Star Wars books. Jedi6-(need help?) 06:11, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

ITs all right, theres no way you really would have known. Jedi6-(need help?) 06:16, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks

Hi Skope, I just wanted to thank you for creating all those new individual articles for the novels set between the movie trilogies. That's one more thing out of the way! -- wacko2 02:53, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Young Jedi Knights

Thanks for creating articles of Young Jedi Knights. It has relieved stress of me, but, the articles don't exceed my standards. They almost got past. Not trying to offend you. Anyway, I will go ahead and edit them in a few weeks. Thanks for uploading those images though! Weirdy 07:29, 24 April 2006 (UTC).

Recieved your message. Anyway, Infoboxes are not my game, and article writing is more of it so don't worry. Weirdy 00:24, 28 April 2006 (UTC) Talk

[edit] Book infoboxes on film pages

Perhaps you should consider either making new pages for the novelizations, or make much smaller infoboxes, as the book infoboxes you've been expanding now are hideously large on the film pages, and have been shifting many other images out of their proper positions. I've hidden them for now. TheRealFennShysa 20:25, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

While you're fixing things up, may I suggest you use AWB? I haven't used it myself, but I've heard from others it helps a lot with the repetitive stuff you're doing. --maru (talk) contribs 01:56, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Star Wars Mercenary

This page you made seems really unnecessary. It's a list of mercenaries from Star Wars.

[edit] Jedi Shadow

Hello, Skope! This article has been in my list of created articles for a while and I was hoping that someone would add external links. I hope that you can add valuable External Links to this page, because, I don't know where to find them. Weirdy 06:32, 30 May 2006 (UTC) Tell me if you can't find external links.

Thanks for editing Jedi Shadow. That means a lot to me. Weirdy 06:57, 1 June 2006 (UTC).

[edit] WikiProject Star Wars newsletter

Project updates Greetings, Star Wars editors! Deckiller here. It's the first edition of the WikiProject Star Wars newsletter, and yes, it's a semi-ripoff of the Esperenza newsletter. I think it's important to begin with some good news: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones, Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, and Jabba the Hutt have reached featured article status! Kudos to the editors who helped obtain these achievements! WikiProject Star Wars is also on a mission to improve Star Wars articles using the following ideas: An out of universe perspective versus an in universe perspective (see Wikipedia:Writing about fiction and the future ammendments to our manual of style) Evolving lists into regular articles Moving excess information and specifics to Wookieepedia (and providing links to Wookieepedia per the "see also" and/or "external links" sections) Enhanced communication amongst WikiProject members More to come These should provide the basic steps needed to improve and "encyclopedia-fy" the Star Wars series of articles. Things to do There are plenty of Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/things to do. An update to the page is coming very soon, and it will represent the new and exciting changes that Star Wars pages will be receiving! Out-of-universe versus in-universe perspectives Although details are forthcoming, I would like to take this time to explain the gist of this concept. Wikipedia has generally agreed that fictional articles should write about the topic from a "real world" perspective, focusing on real world issues and topics, with a section or two for plot synopsis and so on. Jabba the Hutt is a solid character example, and Clone Wars (Star Wars) is quickly moving toward an out of universe perspective.

Article evolution As many of you know, lists of minor Star Wars-related themes are very common on Wikipedia; however, since these may be seen as violations of Wikipedia policy (and having seperate articles would breach even more policies), the tentative solution is to create general articles on a list's topic (for example, turning List of Star Wars devices into Technology of Star Wars, which allows us to cover everything from hyperspace to comlinks in a general encyclopedic fashion). This can be very tough for some broad topics, so the key is organization. I encourage all editors to list their ideas on the WikiProject talk page. It will be a very difficult — but tangible — effort. For an example, let me point you to the Final Fantasy WikiProject. Some of us over at that WikiProject decided to turn various components of Final Fantasy X, such as Pyreflies, Yevon, and the backstory — into an article describing the world of Spira. Location descriptions were given a List of locations in Spira article, and the details themselves were placed on the Spira (Final Fantasy X) page. This is a decent template to follow — however, we will need to place priority on out-of-universe, "real life" topics and perspectives in realtion to the article. Sounds confusing, eh? It won't, for examples will be popping up left and right in the near future! Signed... — Deckiller 03:19, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] re: Slave ship

Howdy. The "description" section was taken from [2]. Yeah, it's short, but without it there was only a template. I've copy and pasted the template and other non-copyvio stuff and hidden it below (click edit to see it), in case you'd like to have it. Cheers. --Fang Aili ^talk 20:01, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Publisher's description" and "Inside front cover" sections in Star Wars issue articles

Correct me if I'm wrong, but these appear to be word-for-word samples of copyrighted text (see, e.g., Boba Fett: Overkill). Please remove all such sections from every article you have written—we do not have a legal basis for using this text, and so you have committed copyright infringement. Drop me a note when you're finished with this task. Thanks, Postdlf 02:27, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: your fair use comment you made elsewhere, why exactly did you think fair use would apply? Please explain using the four-factor test. Postdlf 06:08, 17 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Comics Barnstar

[edit] Source for information on the Chevin?

Hi, I just saw your contribution to List of Star Wars races. I stuck a "citation needed" notice on it since there's no source listed for where the information you added came from, but figured I also had a golden opportunity to ask directly. I've been making it a personal project of mine lately to try to get the sources for the vast amounts of Star Wars information in Wikipedia, since ultimately we need everything to be verifiable before it can be considered a good article. Bryan 01:30, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned fair use image (Image:StarWars Havoc.jpg)

This file may be deleted.

Thanks for uploading Image:StarWars Havoc.jpg. I notice the 'image' page currently specifies that the image can be used under a fair use license. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful.

If you have uploaded other fair use media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any fair use images not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BigDT 11:42, 23 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Star Wars issue articles

I just looked at Category:Star Wars comics. I see you have performed some merges, and that's great, but there are still a lot to be done. Are you still working on articles for individual issues? --Chris Griswold (☎☓) 03:49, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] SW Collabaration....

Hello just dropping in to let you know that I'm organizing a huge Star Wars collabaration, if you want just go to this discussion page..... Cheers, --Sadow (talk | contr.) 19:51, 17 September 2006 (UTC)
