[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 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 Dubrillion note: NOT the Battle of Dubrillion (according once again to the Yuuzhan Yong invasion page.
  2. Battle of Obroa-skai
  3. Fall of Coruscant
  4. Battle of Ebaq 9
  5. Battle of Bastion

[edit] Major editing tasks

[edit] Articles/lists to be expanded

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)
I can confirm that I have rolled this article into my revision of Clone Wars. – Mipadi 17:55, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

I know I suck at editing game articles I am not familiar with, but, that is the best I could do. Weirdy 09:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC).

Um someone read it. It is a bit bias

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)
  • Mysteries of the Sith needs a box cover art. Anyone who would like to do it? And, the article needs to be expanded. Slashed by Weirdy 07:22, 17 April 2006 (UTC).
  • The article Jin'Ha I created needs more info. And, if you are helping, try not to violate copyright. Weirdy 22:26, 19 April 2006 (UTC)


The Han Solo Trilogy articles need expansion. Empress 4t 04:26, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles that need sources

  • Apologies if this is in the wrong place, but i'm not a regular portal visitor. I came across TIE wing during a cleanup drive, but cannot find any verification that it is a genuine fictional starfighter in the Universe. Could someone more familiar with Star Wars have a look and, if it is genuine, remove the hoax tag. If it is a hoax, could they prod it. Thanks. Rockpocket 01:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Oh, that's not a hoax. That's simply someone not realizing that it's really just a particular kind of Ugly space-fighter. Wookieepedia calls that a "TYE-wing". --maru (talk) contribs 01:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
Ahh. Makes sense now. Thank you, maru - i'll redirect the term to TYE-wing, reproduce the info there and add the appropriate cats. Rockpocket 03:32, 3 April 2006 (UTC)
I put a pic up of one from X-wing Rogue Squadron 30: Masquerade, Part 3 --Skope 16:18, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles that need to be wikified

...per WP:WIKIFY

[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)
  • 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)
  • Star Wars: Galaxies could really use some work. It needs more references, clean up of sections created by angry players, and just a general copyedit. A few editors and I have been working on it in bits and pieces, but help would be nice. —Mira 06:41, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles that could be split

Current articles/lists Split into Comments

[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
The Spaarti Incident		 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)
Finished merging Battle of the Murgo Choke into The Unseen Queen. The Battle page now redirects to Unseen Queen. _-M o P-_ 17:11, 8 April 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
Battle of Dagobah
Uprising in the Death Star
Battle of Polis Massa		 Star Wars: Battlefront II Too minor to have its own articleTutmosis 20:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Agreed. I'm working on rolling most of the major battles into a single, cohesive Clone Wars article, but minor battles (i.e. ones created to fill up mission slots and locations in a videogame) are best merged with the appropriate videogame article. – Mipadi 17:57, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
Battle of Alaris Prime Star Wars: The Clone Wars Too minor to have its own articleTutmosis 20:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Battle of Danuta
Massacre on Talay		 Star Wars: Dark Forces Too minor to have its own articleTutmosis 20:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Battle of Fondor
Battle of Ralltiir		 Star Wars: Rebel Strike: Rogue Squadron 3 Too minor to have its own articleTutmosis 20:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Battle of Thyferra Star Wars: Rogue Squadron Too minor to have its own articleTutmosis 20:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Battle of Kothlis Rogue Leader: Rogue Squadron II Too minor to have its own articleTutmosis 20:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Battle of Bomis Korri IV
Battle of Orto

Audition on Rattatak		 Star Wars: Clone Wars Too minor to have its own articleTutmosis 20:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
Raid on Kashyyyk LEGO Star Wars: Revenge of the Brick Too minor to have its own articleTutmosis 20:17, 25 February 2006 (UTC)
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)
Thrawn Campaign The Thrawn Trilogy Essensially a basic summary of the entire Trilogy...— Deckiller 22:58, 2 April 2006 (UTC)
Het Nkik I don't know I think this speaks for itself. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 04:41, 26 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles being reviewed

[edit] Minor improvement tasks

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

  • Star Destroyers: Accuser, Xamaural, Avenger II, Bail Organa, Mon Mothma, Admiral Ackbar, Elegos A'Kla, Agonizer, Yakez, Tyrrany, Wrack -- I've written them all, I don't know how good they are, thanks for helping,peer review would be great! RelentlessRouge 12:28, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
  • 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)
    • This needs to be rewritten from an out-of-universe perspective. At the very least, each event in his biography needs to be attributed to a specific work, and his "influence" needs to be attributed to the various works, noting retcons as needed. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 00:34, 5 May 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)
Deleted about 75% of the pictures. _-M o P-_ 21:52, 5 April 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)
Trimmed pictures a bit. _-M o P-_ 21:52, 5 April 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)
  • Grand Moff Tarkin. Deckiller 03:37, 18 February 2006 (UTC)
  • User:Xolatron/Vibroweapons. We need lots more information to enable us the right to put this article on the mainspace. Please drop by and help if you can. M o P 21:24, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
This article is almost ready; we just need the go-ahead. _-M o P-_ 21:52, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Needs a few edits for spelling/grammar and for clarity. Otherwise, the article seems OK, if slightly undersized. -- wacko2 21:53, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
Ok, I took advantage of your invitation to "drop by" and make those edits. -- wacko2 03:27, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
You know, I feel stupid now. I didn't realize the article was already up at Vibroweapons. Anyway, I went and copied my changes there. -- wacko2 04:18, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Padmé Amidala - Slash down those images, there are way too many. It has also been a former G.A. candidate, and reason seems to be is that it was/is too fancruty, and not real-world encyclopedic. —Mirlen 16:11, 8 April 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)
I uploaded an image from a scan of Star Wars Empire 34: In the Shadows of Their Fathers ([6]) to fill in until yall find an screenshot that will fit the bill. --Skope 20:10, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Articles for Deletion

Please vote on the following Articles for Deletion based on your Wikiphilosophy and beliefs.

  • Endor Holocaust - third nomination. Once again the issue seems to be about whether the article is about the holocaust theory itself or about the debate about the theory. Clarifying the sources cited might help improve things. Bryan 08:50, 6 April 2006 (UTC)
  • 27th Denarian Fleet - Consensus was to merge into List of minor Star Wars organizations. This has been done. -- wacko2 15:24, 17 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Jedi Religion - Closed as no consensus, now redirects to Jedi. BryanG 01:21, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • RC-677780
  • Forest moon of Endor - Speedily kept. BryanG 01:21, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
  • Various lightsaber combat forms - Apparently copied from Wookieepedia's articles. How much detail should we go into on these? BryanG 00:48, 14 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Notable lines in the Star Wars series - Was transwikied to Wikiquotes (see here), and I've redirected any links in the article namespace to the appropriate film's quote page and section (or the main page where applicable), because people kept recreating the article from the redlinks. ~Matticus TC 16:58, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
  • Lightsaber combat. Third nomination, was kept the first two times. --maru (talk) contribs 23:00, 26 June 2006 (UTC) (amended by — Mike • 20:37, 27 June 2006 (UTC) when I did page move)
  • Battle of Mustafar
  • Second Battle of Naboo
  • Rebellion on Kamino
Up for deletion (preferably a redirect) because they are extremely long summaries of missions already with 1-2 sentence summaries on the main battlefront page. — Deckiller 18:59, 28 June 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)
  • Sky High. I've reverted a number of suspicious edits. --maru (talk) contribs 22:00, 24 March 2006 (UTC)
  • 66.27.218.175 (contributions) has inserted incorrect or fictitious information into various Star Wars articles. Please watch this guy. -- wacko2 01:09, 5 May 2006 (UTC)
No action from this IP in over two months. -- wacko2 16:22, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Miscellanous

  • Succession boxes need to be cleaned out of fictional character articles; sboxes are for real-world titles and real-world people, not fictional characters and titles. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 01:03, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


[edit] Havoc

Hey guys. I finished editing the Havoc (Star Wars), but we need a picture of the ship. In fact, we need a couple of pics. Any help would be welcome. Nezzadar 21:22, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
