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)

Gundam 00

I'm attempting to restructure the Mobile unit section to match the Japanese wiki in information content, not vandalizing. If you have an issue with this, please contact me by sending me a message. Fallacies 06:03, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

• But, you are in fact making the entire page look messy. If you do want to add in specific information, create a specific page for the gundams. Joppyhoppy
  • I introduced the current version of the page format in an earlier edit (with bulleted height/weight statistics, designers, and sources). After reviewing the Japanese wiki entry and some pages from the English Gundam wikiproject, I decided that the page format could use an overhaul. The end product was intended parallel the format of the Japanese wiki, which I feel is altogether cleaner. At the point at which you reverted the edits, I had just completed the localizations of the infobox template used in the Japanese mechanics entry, which was extremely time-consuming; I had only just begun with format synchronization on the page itself. I do understand that the page was rendered messier, but this was to be only a temporary state. Instead of simply reversing edits without comment, it would be more helpful for you to suggest pointers, etc. With your aid, I hope to continue the localization without update and replace the current page in a single edit later on. I am not interested in engaging in an edit war with you, and am willing to adjust the product until your are satisfied with it. Fallacies 08:38, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
• Uniformity is the point here. All other List of mobile units for other universes and timelines of Gundam are done in this fashion. Please note that this is the english wikipedia, not the japanese one Joppyhoppy 11:53, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
  • The point of the infoboxes was to provide a quick overview of the mechs's specifications without having to create a seperate page, but if you feel that there isn't a need to have such information on the main article, then I will comply and create specific pages for each of the mechs. I don't know that this is necessary, though. If I go ahead and proceed, is there even a need to have a main Mobile units article? Or will it simply become a contentless list page like the List of After Colony mobile units article? Fallacies 12:51, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
• That is not the purpose of a list page, a list page is meant for summaries and overviews of the subject, not specific, "fan-boyish" information. I suggest you to create a specific article for the notable mobile suits instead. Joppyhoppy 14:54, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Speedy deletion of File:G ExiaHD.jpg

A tag has been placed on File:G ExiaHD.jpg requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section I5 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an image which is not under a free license or in the public domain and it has not been used in any article for more than seven days.

If you think that this notice was placed here in error, you may contest the deletion by adding {{hangon}} to the top of the page that has been nominated for deletion (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the page meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the page that would render it more in conformance with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

ArbCom elections are now open!

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Proposed deletion of File:Mobile Suit Gundam 00P volume 1.jpg

The file File:Mobile Suit Gundam 00P volume 1.jpg has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-free book cover being used in a decorative manner in Mobile Suit Gundam 00#Publications. Non-free book cover art is generally allowed to be used for primary identification purposes in stand-alone articles about books, but its use in other articles is generally only allowed when the cover art itself is the subject of sourced critical commentary as explained in WP:NFC#cite_note-3 and the context for non-free use required by WP:NFCC#8 is evident. There is no such commentary for this particular book cover anywhere in the article, so omitting it would not be detrimental to the reader's understanding of the relevant section.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated files}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the file's talk page.

Please consider addressing the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated files}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and files for discussion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. -- Marchjuly (talk) 10:52, 1 January 2019 (UTC)
