[edit] Articles to be created

All star wars novels merit their own articles. Deckiller 17:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Not directly Star Wars but they're doing the work for Star Wars in 3-D so someone should create an article:

  • In-Three (website [1])

If all Star Wars novels merit their own articles, then nearly all the novels between the trilogies need serious work as far as having individual articles. Here's an example: -- wacko2 02:27, 12 April 2006 (UTC)

Done, with thanks to Skope for creating all the new articles! -- wacko2 03:05, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

The Han Solo Trilogy

[edit] Lists to be created

Main discussion: Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Star Wars

I think we should launch a project where we create more narrow charcter lists. I already mentioned splitting the minor jedi list into three lists. However, perhaps lists for old republic, rebel/NR characters, imperial officers, imperial soldiers/soldier classes, and so on. We'd probably end up with 14-17 lists, but it beats 125 one-two paragraph articles. Thoughts? Deckiller 02:31, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Remaining lists:

  • List of Star Wars Dark Jedi
  • Star Wars families
  • List of Star Wars Imperial characters
  • List of Star Wars Galactic Alliance characters
  • List of Galactic Empire soldiers
  • List of Galactic Alliance soldiers
  • List of Star Wars ranks (all ranks should be included and explained on this list IMO)
  • List of Star Wars Sith characters (minor sith should be included and explained on this list IMO)
  • List of Star Wars short stories
  • More to come?

Update: Remaining lists:

  • List of Star Wars Dark Jedi created but needs massive additions. Pegasus1138Talk | Contribs | Email ---- 03:55, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • List of Star Wars families has been created. Please add to it and work on it as needed. The list is derived from Wookieepedia's family listing, only including what I thought were the most important ones. Arsonal 02:41, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
  • List of Star Wars Imperial characters
  • List of Star Wars Galactic Alliance characters
  • List of Galactic Empire soldiers
  • List of Galactic Alliance soldiers
  • List of Star Wars ranks (all ranks should be included and explained on this list IMO)
  • List of Star Wars Sith characters (minor sith should be included and explained on this list IMO)
  • List of Star Wars short stories
  • List of Star Wars Battles currently redirects to a category page. The list should be created, containing a brief explanation of the battles, listing them by time period, with links to the pages that contain more information where necessary. Firestorm 17:26, 13 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] List entries to be created

  • What I think would think is great is a list of battles in the Yuuzhan Vong invasion because on the Yuuzhan Vong invasion page the items are listed and only two have pages (and they are short). According to the page, the battles are:
  1. Battle of Helska IV
  2. Battle of Dubrillion note: NOT the Battle of Dubrillion (according once again to the Yuuzhan Yong invasion page.
  3. Battle of Obroa-skai
  4. Battle of Ithor
  5. Fall of Coruscant
  6. Battle of Ebaq 9
  7. Battle of Bastion

[edit] Major editing tasks

[edit] Articles/lists to be expanded

These lists look unfinished in my opinion. Please check them over. Tutmosis 22:06, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

These are a few stub articles. Tutmosis 22:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

This will soon be merged into the clone wars once Mipadi resumes work on it. Deckiller 04:16, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
It'll probably need to be merged into a respective conflict article. Deckiller 22:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
It's weird cause it's really nothing more than a couple of paragraphs and a massive list of other articles. There are only six mainspace links to it (two of which are other SW articles). Honestly it either needs some better research or it needs to be completely tossed. --BinaryTed 14:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles that need sources

None as of now.

[edit] Articles that need major cleanup

Fancruft, copyvios, copyedits, point of view, and so on.

  • Clone Wars. The bulleted list-style timeline is simply not very professional, and gives little, if any, useful information. Furthermore, most information is contained in tiny little stub articles scattered all around. I am working on condensing the information into a more useful, better written article. A rough draft is in progress; I'd appreciate comments on the draft. – Mipadi 21:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)
I added the book cover atleast. Dark jedi requiem 19:06, 4 March 2006 (UTC)
Yeah, it'll need a picture, plot summary, and external links. Deckiller 14:43, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Peckhum. Needs some expansion. In my opinion anyway.... Tutmosis 17:43, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
I think it could best be merged with another article. – Mipadi 15:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
Probably either List of minor Star Wars characters or List of Star Wars Galactic Alliance characters when that's created. --BinaryTed 17:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles that could be split

Current articles/lists Split into Comments
Star Destroyer Super Star Destroyer (currently redirects to Star Destroyer) Contrast our article's layout to that of the entry on Wookieepedia which is an amazingly short article which links to an individual article for each class. While I don't think we want that many splits, I definitely think it could use two or three considering the size, and this seems like a natural place to start. I have completed a copyedit of the proposed split at User:BinaryTed/Super Star Destroyer. The only substantive changes are a slightly rewritten introduction (necessitated by it being a separate article) and removing some of the attempts to compare the ships to real-world naval vessels (which IMO is unnecessary speculation). --BinaryTed 16:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
I have "committed" changes to both articles, including the split. There is still much to be done to Star Destroyer, IMO. I think the "Imperator" vs. "Imperial" debate can be trimmed considerably, for starters. --BinaryTed 18:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles that could be merged

Current articles Merge into Comments
Stubs Respective lists I think we need to prioritize. First, I think we get minor stubs into lists, and create necessarily lists, and so on. Then we can focus on improving the prose and sorting out what's good for the index and what's not. Deckiller 22:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Battle of Boz Pity
Battle of Bomis Korri IV
1st Battle of Sarapin
1st Battle of Tatooine
2nd Battle of Tatooine
2nd Battle of Sarapin
First Battle of Excarga		 Clone Wars
Another list?		 This has been a debate. The Clone Wars page in general has been in debate. Personally, I think a list of all these clone wars battle descriptions would be great. But this needs some discussion, that's for sure. Deckiller 22:46, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
Well, I'm for merging them. But yeah, we should wait to hear what others say. —Mirlen 02:03, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
I am currently hard at work merging the data from the individual Clone Wars articles into the main Clone Wars article. You can see my most current edit here. – Mipadi 12:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)
Battle of the Murgo Choke The Unseen Queen Its basically just a summary of the Unseen Queen. Jedi6 08:58, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Agree, a lot of these battles can easily be merged into a plot summary of their respective story. Deckiller 16:55, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Nek Bwau'tu
Cal Omas		 List of Star Wars Galactic Alliance characters None of them have enough info. to support their own article.
Agree, once that list is created. Deckiller 16:59, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Fall of Coruscant
Battle of Kessel
Battle of Commenor		 Star by Star
Yuuzhan Vong invasion		 The Star by Star could easily hold this information in its small article. Also I'm not sure what media the Battle of Kessel came from and I'm not even sure the Battle of Commenor is real. Jedi6 09:20, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Agree, a lot of these battles can easily be merged into a plot summary of their respective story. Deckiller 16:55, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

I have added nomination to each each of those pages, please go and vote. also added proper tags to all pages. Tutmosis 19:28, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Also, if this is a vong battle, make sure to merge the info into that general conflict article as well.Deckiller 19:41, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

Carth Onasi
Bao-Dur
Canderous Ordo
Jedi Exile
Atton Rand		 List of Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic characters Needs to at least have a "main article" entry for Zaalbar, if not move the entire text. The list isn't long enough yet to prevent it. --BinaryTed 13:33, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Agree. Deckiller 16:55, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Added couple other characters. Tutmosis 03:11, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Battle of Mustafar
Rebellion on Kamino
Second Battle of Naboo

Belia Darzu
Darovit
Oss Willum		 List of Star Wars Old Republic characters Merges requested by BinaryTed. I'm gonna take a look at them in a second. Deckiller 20:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Merged the ones striked. However, the ones not strikes are sith/dark jedi, and probably belong in lists of sith and dark jedi. Deckiller 21:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Agree on all except Kar Vastor. He definitely wasn't a Sith, and even though he wasn't a very nice guy, he never received Jedi training and IMO can't be considered a Dark Jedi. I've read Shatterpoint, so I'm not just going on what's in the article on this one either. :) --BinaryTed 21:45, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I withdraw my objection on that one. Deckiller 21:47, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Just moved Kar Vastor myself. --BinaryTed 14:43, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles to be moved

Please see each page's talk page to support or object.

[edit] Minor improvement tasks

For peer review, good article, or featured article status.

  • Star Wars. Needs footnotes, minor copyedits, and some trimming to become a featured article. Deckiller 14:36, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Exar Kun. Delisted good article, needs some work to get to FA status. Deckiller 14:36, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
  • The Star Wars Holiday Special Good article, although it may need trimming, less pics, and a few other minor things to get it to FA status. Footnotes also recommended. Deckiller 14:36, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Lightsaber. Fair article, although it needs to be trimmed, fixed, and whatnot. Lots of pics! Deckiller 23:01, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
I've watched the page a lot and made quite a few major edits. Is there anything else that anyone thinks needs to be fixed? (If no one comes up with anything wrong I'll nominate it for good article status).Dark jedi requiem 01:47, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
  • Star Destroyer. Large article, I don't know if some things need to be split per se, but trimming would be good. Deckiller 23:01, 11 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Clone commandos Just doesnt look encyclopedic: large paragraph and a huge picture. Tutmosis 02:08, 26 February 2006 (UTC)
Could this possible be trimmed and merged into Clone troopers? --BinaryTed 17:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

Here some articles that have decent information but no sections. Also some of this articles need expansion or further editing. Cross out any after they have been enhanced or cross them out if you think they dont belong in the list... Tutmosis 22:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Other tasks

[edit] Image problems

  • Image: AT-TE.jpg[2] used in AT-TE. Bad angle gives a misleading impression of the size and number of legs on the walker. Also, possibly copied from the Databank rather than actually being a screenshot as its copyright template states. -Graptor 66.42.129.227 11:25, 16 March 2006 (UTC)
It does look blurry, someone should try and find a better picture. Jedi6-(need help?) 02:09, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
Well it's blurry because it's been blown up, it's been reshrunk where its used in the article, and looks fine. Better than anything I've been able to come up with to replace it. Every shot I can find is either: Distant, and therefore small, or has large portions of the walker obscured, or is motion-blurred. They're also all blurrier than the one in the article. Sadly the one in the article also hides the rear legs and the back half of the craft(which is why I noticed anyway.) Plus as I said, it looks like it was ripped off from the databank. I can't find that shot anywhere on the DVD. -Graptor 66.161.201.38 04:53, 17 March 2006 (UTC)
A Shameless thing to do would be to copy the wookiepedian AT-TE picture which is quite clear. Tutmosis 01:17, 18 March 2006 (UTC)
I wouldn't blame you if you did, My three attempts at pulling one offa the DVD all came off badly. Small and fuzzy. Sadly they appear to have mostly been in the background in almost every scene they're in. Thought the wookieepedia image is lacking copyright and source info... -Graptor 66.42.135.81 22:43, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
Oh, before I forget again, if anyone wants to see, here's the three trimmed shots I took from the Epi II DvD, hosted on my filedump of a 'website'. Sadly they're all at full resolution...not downsized at all, just cropped. [3] [4] [5] (Note, I'll probably trim these off that 'site' at some point. If you're reading this and the links are dead, that's why. If it whines about the bandwidth, try back in an hour or so.) -Graptor 66.42.135.81 04:44, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Problem editors

  • 65.30.37.239 is at it again. He has vandalized several Star Wars pages (esp. KOTOR ones), and I have posted a warning on his talk page. If he makes any more vandalisms, I'm going to request that he is permanently banned - but anyone else may if they get to it before me. -Xol 22:48, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
