  1. Master of Puppets 03:23, 20 March 2006 (UTC): Working on creating a Vibrosword / vibroweapon article; anyone interested in helping?[reply]
I guess it's enough to warrent its own article. — Deckiller 03:37, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Cool. I'll be sure to do it as soon as I'm finished this stupid homework. M o P 03:38, 20 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Main project page: news section

Should we implement a news section on the main page? I think it would be intresting telling what the Wikiproject is up to or currently has done. Tutmosis 03:16, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. Ultimately, I'd like to strucutre our project completely like Wikipedia:WikiProject Final Fantasy, if possible. Deckiller 03:18, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Personally I like their to-do page. Its clean and organized. I think instead of making Things to Do Talk Page a redirect i think we should put all discussion in there. I think before items go off on our to-do lists it should be approved in that talk page. Also any other discussion regarding a specific article should go there too. Tutmosis 03:24, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help page

I think we should make a help page. It would be a page to ask experienced Star Wars editors for help editing and for format. That way the discussion page can be used for discussing how things should be done and the help page to find help. Jedi6-(need help?) 03:35, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

We could also make a list of experienced users with links to their talk pages to get help. Jedi6-(need help?) 03:35, 13 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Good idea, but i think we should put that into the upcoming Manual of Style page. Tutmosis
I'm going to be on a semi-Wikibreak for the next few days, but I already have the MoS in development stage. Deckiller 00:05, 14 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Standardizing Quotes

I noticed a variation between quotes in the articles...Most of the quotes in the character articles are Italicized while others, like the Jedi article are not. Also, the matter of citing varies to. For quotes in which a character is speaking of another character, I understand that it should be: —[Insert character name]. But what about an excerpt from a sourcebook, chronology, etc.?

For example, shouldn't they be cited within parenthesis, like this:

"It is known, however, that the brightest and best philosophers, priests, and warriors came together on a single world long ago to discuss their discoveries involving the enigmatic, mystical Force, and that the concentration of these efforts eventually led to the development of the Jedi Order" (Star Wars Roleplaying Game: Power of the Jedi Sourcebook).

as opposed to the way it currently is in the Jedi article:

"It is known, however, that the brightest and best philosophers, priests, and warriors came together on a single world long ago to discuss their discoveries involving the enigmatic, mystical Force, and that the concentration of these efforts eventually led to the development of the Jedi Order." – . Star Wars Roleplaying Game: Power of the Jedi Sourcebook.

So, what standards are we going by? Or is this something that is to be discussed later? —Mirlen 00:23, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I say do the second one for quotes from people and the first one if all their is is the source. I would always try to get who the quote was from though. Jedi6-(need help?) 00:45, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I also think the excerpt should be in small letters as shown below:
"It is known, however, that the brightest and best philosophers, priests, and warriors came together on a single world long ago to discuss their discoveries involving the enigmatic, mystical Force, and that the concentration of these efforts eventually led to the development of the Jedi Order." – Star Wars Roleplaying Game: Power of the Jedi Sourcebook.
I think it looks neater and more clear. Tutmosis 01:54, 21 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Alright, so it is supposed to be in parenthesis. And as for the small letters, I'm not sure what my opinion is of yet. Hm, I think perhaps we should have A Star Wars WikiProject Manual of Style Guide like Final Fantasy WikiProject does. —Mirlen 22:05, 22 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Deckiller is making one currently. Jedi6-(need help?) 01:52, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
First draft should be up this weekend. Sorry it's taking so long, but it's a work in progress. — Deckiller 01:53, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Nice. I will gladly help once it's up. I bet it's discussion page will be interesting... -Xol 02:12, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ditto. (I always seem to be a step behind :P). —Mirlen 23:50, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Color update

I recently updated Template:SW character and added color-standardization. For fear of mass protests, I let all previous usages work - so everything will look the same, but switching to the new sytle is recommended (by me). Please see it's talk page. It uses a new "color=????" parameter that specifies the main affiliated faction. Comments? -Xol 02:24, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The grey color seems to be too light, but I'm fine with the grey. However, I'm not sure if it's really necessary to have the Portrayer section, however... —Mirlen 23:52, 23 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have three greys... a darker one for Imperials, and a lighter one for Indepentent, and the lightest for "no color given", which might have been what you saw - it's what automatically appears on the template page. I've make the Independent color a little darker, and then had the Empire be *dark* grey. And the CIS is black. And the Portrayer section has been in there for a long time. Along with height, it isn't really necessary, but could be useful. I'm trying to add a [show] link that will expand the table to have all of the properties, but normally hide ones such as portrayer. That's difficult though. -Xol 15:51, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I see. And Portrayer really was always there? Huh, I'm so observant :P. Anyway, maybe something more useful would be birth/date years, but if I'm outruled by majority, *shrugs* Portrayer it shall stay. —Mirlen 22:43, 24 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Birth and death dates were once included, but consensus opted for including them as such: Jedi Shmoe (205 BBY – 150 BBY), either in the header or the name underneath the image (I'm not quite sure which). -Xol 00:31, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Todo page

I am going to do a major restructuring of the Todo page before putting the MoS on Wikipaper this weekend. Hopefully this will stimulate some activity and keep things organized. I'll try and adapt WPFF's concepets with my own. — Deckiller 02:18, 25 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Take your time, but not too much time ;). —Mirlen 23:50, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Todo page is pretty much done, except for convos on each item (there seem to be few at the moment). — Deckiller 00:41, 29 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Alright :). (I seem to be adding smilies way too much...Oh well :P). —Mirlen 22:45, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anybody there?

Hey guys, I haven't seen anyone around in the last day or two. Everyone doing okay? — Deckiller 17:15, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm here I just couldn't edit much the last few days due to computer problems. Everything does seem to be slowing down though. Jedi6-(need help?) 19:54, 26 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

In three

Given that they're doing the work for Star Wars in 3-D, perhaps someone could start the In-Three article? Seems to be a lot of info there [1]. Nil Einne 23:01, 28 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey guys

Hey guys, I know the WikiProject has been slow lately (several of us are on WikiBreak), and I've had some issues of my own. Nevertheless, I plan on sparking up some new activity in the next few days by talking to each and every one of you about what you feel like doing in this project. I'd like to see a bit more activity on this talkpage, though I do admit that it'll be easier once the MoS is completed (someone shoot me if I don't get it done soon!) — Deckiller 23:10, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Cantina article on AfD

The cantina article has been nominated for deletion. While it doesn't have any SW info right now, it had some ealier this month before it was removed without comment. The thing is, the article didn't really have any info that wasn't already found elsewhere (like in Mos Eisley Cantina), so I'm not really sure what to do here. Any thoughts? BryanG 23:26, 31 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I voted to change to disambig. — Deckiller 15:39, 1 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Manual of Style

Here's what I have so far:

— Deckiller 02:15, 2 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nice job! I've left some commentary on possible things to add/whatnot at Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/Manual of style. -Xol 01:02, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wow—looks great! That must've took you a long time. —Mirlen 15:38, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! 20-30 minutes :) But it's nowhere finished yet; we have to put detailed information on templates, each type of article/list, etc. — Deckiller 15:40, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
No, Deckiller, that's when you're supposed to say, "Yes, it took me hours!" :P. Just kidding, anyway, I'll add my two cents whenever needed, and I did say that I would like to help work on the MoS guide, so I'll try. —Mirlen 15:48, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Battle merging

We're going to have to "prosify" the endlss video game mission articles. See the Things to Do merge chart toward the bottom for several of them. What needs to be done is as follows:

  • Take the information from the "battle" articles and combine it into a plot summary for the game/mission section.
  • Redirect the battle articles to the game articles.

Star Wars barnstars will be given out to those who work on this extensively. Thanks! — Deckiller 21:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Userbox question

I made this userbox, and Jedi6 thought I should make it into a real one; here it is;

File:WikiDS.pngTry and stop Wikipedia and we'll blow up Alderaan.

Just wanted to know what others thought. _-M o P-_ 12:48, 5 April 2006 (UTC) [reply]

It lives!!!! Jedi6/WikiWars Jedi6-(need help?) 01:25, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, that's awsome. Griz 20:40, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure about that image. If the original photo of the Death Star is copyrighted, surely you can't just take it, modify the rest of the image a bit, and release it into the public domain? --Darth Revert (AKA Deskana) (talk) 21:34, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was thinking about that but the Wookiepedia logo is under free use too. Jedi6-(need help?) 00:02, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Quiz

Like Portal:Cricket, I think we should have a Star Wars quiz. That may help us seal the deal on featured portal status. The quiz should be a weekly set of, say, ten questions. I can put this together if you guys want. It's just something fun for people to do. The highest scores will be displayed somewhere, and we can just have a bit of fun with it. — Deckiller 21:30, 6 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Excellent, no feedback. That's a good thing, I can handle this how I want :) Expect the first quiz to be ready within a few days. — Deckiller 23:55, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
That just means we trust you Deckiller! :-) I just hope people actually do the quiz. Jedi6-(need help?) 23:58, 7 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's up :). I hope people do it too. Some are easy; some are hard. We may have to find an incentive system. — Deckiller 00:06, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I'll do it. And ace it. Just a question, whats the content? Is the EU included or only film material? _-M o P-_ 00:12, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Everything and anything related to Star Wars. — Deckiller 00:13, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Its up on the portal if anyone wants to do it. Jedi6-(need help?) 00:16, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Game articles need major cleanup

Quite frankly, our coverage of Star Wars video games is not encyclopedic. Please see the various Final Fantasy articles for good examples of how video game articles should be. As a Star Wars project collaborator, I need users to:

  • Cleanup prose
  • Remove unencyclopedic content (such as "tips", "cheats", "hints", "how to" guides, and so on)
  • Replace "you" with "the player", "one", "the character", and so on.
  • Add influences, criticism (referenced), significance, etc.

— Deckiller 02:07, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm on it. I'll start off with removing unencyclopedic content and replacing you/one/I/etc. with its proper terms. —Mirlen 15:36, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team cooperation

The formal message:

Hello. I'm a member of the Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is looking to identify quality articles in Wikipedia for future publication on CD or paper. We recently began assessing articles using these criteria, and we are are asking for your help. As you are most aware of the issues surrounding your focus area, we are wondering if you could provide us with a list of the articles that fall within the scope of your WikiProject, and that are either featured, A-class, B-class, or Good articles, with no POV or copyright problems. Do you have any recommendations? If you do, please post your suggestions at the listing of all active Arts WikiProjects, and if you have any questions, ask me in the Work Via WikiProjects talk page or directly in my talk page. Thanks a lot! —Mirlen 13:28, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The informal message:

I don't know if we've been contacted yet, but according to this list, we haven't, and I would like to see SW articles on WP:1.0. —Mirlen 15:35, 8 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of articles to be submitted or needed to improved for WP:1.0 using these criteria.

F.A. status

G.A. status

A-class

B-class

Improvement

Our index is following basically the same exact format as this. Expect the reform to take place soon. — Deckiller 22:05, 11 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Mission to Devaron

Was just cruising through the main cat, and I found an article titled Mission to Devaron. I've had a squiz, and it sounds quite suspect, so I thought I would refer it to you guys and seek the professional opinion. -- Saberwyn 10:11, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Based on a survey of Wookieepedia articles, it appears to be from the comic Jedi: Aayla Secura. I've never read it, so I can't say more than that. I tagged it for cleanup, it might need to be merged but I'll leave that to someone who's more familiar with it. BryanG 17:49, 9 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Movie titles

A few days ago, a user named Spongesquid moved four of the six movie articles. Apparently he thought, for stylistic reasons, that the colon should come after the episode number in the movie titles. While I can't find the details now, I thought that there was previously some agreement that the colon should come after the words "Star Wars". I really don't care which way the titles appear, but I do wish that there would be some consensus on this and then leave the titles permanently alone, because I hate having to change the wikilinks to the movies every so often. -- wacko2 22:30, 10 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps there should be *two* colons... Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace. Sorry, I don't know about any past decisions about this. However, it should follow the standard title: subtitle method for movise/books etcetera, though I'm not exactly sure how that would apply. -Xol 00:09, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, and I would vote for the colon after the episode number just if people don't want two colons. -Xol 00:10, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is a tough decision. I'm basically neutral (I don't really mind), but if you want my honest opinion, I'd like to see it as Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. — Deckiller 00:11, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
The problem is that the official Star Wars site uses numerous ways to name the episodes. Also the style conventions doesn't seem to have anything about this mostly because no other movie would dare to have a title this long. Jedi6-(need help?) 00:14, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
IMHO, it should be Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. The Wookieepedian 00:54, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I've never seen that one before, whats your source? Jedi6-(need help?) 01:02, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
IMDB, Yahoo and BBC listed it that way. But I don't think IMDB and Yahoo are reliable sources, and as for BBC, I'm not really sure. Lucas Arts lists it as Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. I don't really have a preferences, but I like the way The Wookieepedian suggested. But probably the way with one colon is correct. —Mirlen 01:15, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I found the previous discussion on this issue, on the Episode III talk page. So take a look there if you want. Personally, for stylistic reasons I'd agree with the single colon after the episode number, e.g. Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. -- wacko2 04:18, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I say we do Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. If no one objects I say we just put that as the correct version in the manuel of Style. THen all the back to forth changes will be stopped since we will have an official styleing rule to refer to. Jedi6-(need help?) 00:51, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

As I've brought up in the talk page of Episode III, I was the user who originally changed the titles too their current state (after explaining in the talk page). The reason for the change was that I noticed the differences between the formats on Wikipedia and on IMDB. I was suggesting we change it to Star Wars: Episode III - Revenge of the Sith. I decided that the best possible source for the titles was the official site. Which has repeatedly had articles that refer to the films as Star Wars: Episode III Revenge of the Sith. After finding the same title format on the nominations ballot for the 2006 Oscars. I thought it warranted a change. I don't think it should be sent back to it's original format, as it is the format I've seen the LEAST amount on the internet. If anything, we should change it to the IMDB format, since it has more punctuation. Otherwise, the titles should remain the same. The Filmaker 21:53, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Actually the official site has multiple ways of refering to the movies. Also Wookieepedia seems to use Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. I've never seen any Wikipedia articles with a dash and I doubt that it's allowed. In the end this version just looks better (to me at least). Jedi6-(need help?) 22:34, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Change the title of all Star Wars movies to Star Wars Episode #: Episode Title

Support

  1. per my explanation above. Jedi6-(need help?) 03:30, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  2. Sounds good to me. -- wacko2 03:13, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  3. The Wookieepedian 03:44, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  4. Mirlen - Although the official sites use all three ways, one colon seems to be prevelant above all.
  5. — Deckiller 15:22, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  6. I've never seen a Star Wars film title used without a colon to separate the episode # from the episode name. -Xol 23:21, 2 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose

  1. per my explanation above. The user Spongesquid most likely thought the titles should be that format because of the massive amounts of articles that still feature the old format. The Filmaker 21:53, 20 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There is a problem at Yoda. An IP editor is randomly adding Dagobyte into the article. It started with him trying to convince me that we should change Yoda's race to Dagobyte, but since I was unconvinced, he has been replacing random words with Dagobyte and won't stop. I'd like to request that people add this page to their watchlist to deal with this problem. I'm keeping my eye on it, and so are a few other editors from the looks of it. I suggest that any user which adds the word Dagobyte into the article inappropriately be given a {{subst:bv-n|Yoda}} on their talk page. That sound good? Dagobyte.

Sounds good, I'll watch it. -Xol 00:01, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Me too, DAGO-BITE-THE-DUST man! -GBX 20:00, 13 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is starting to get ridiculous. Practically all the edits to the page are the Dagobyte vandal and he's now even taken a liking to vandalising my user page. I'd propose an IP-range block but it seems like they're registered to schools so an IP range block is unlikely to be approved. --Darth Deskana (Darth Talk) 08:08, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
He's on to us, quick, TO THE DEATH STAR! Anyway, I put a tag that will disable IP or recently registered users from edtiting on Yoda's Page. --GBX 12:00, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Inserting the {{sprotected}} template onto a page does not protect it. If you would like the page semiprotected, visit WP:RfPP (requests for page protection) and add the appropriate request. --Darth Deskana (Darth Talk) 17:17, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just did that --GBX 15:48, 14 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey. I'm a noob 2 Wikipedia, just found out about Wookiepedia. I've written 2 articles: Yevethan thrustship and New Class program, both on Black Fleet Crisis. I also did some stuff on Star Destroyer, A-wing, X-wing, B-wing, and E-wing in 2 days. So, uh, can we make up a dedicated page for both the Incom/Subpro ARC-170 and the Incm Z-95 "Zebra" Headhunter? That'd be nice. Also, ah, uh, what's this whole DECISION MAKING PROCESS THING for Wikipedia? I mean, I didn't have to ask anyone to make my own 2 articles. Why do I have to ask to make dedicated pages 4 the ARC-170 and Z-95? (shrugs) I know a fair amount of stuff on SW. Email me at alpha_217@verizon.net. Look at my user page.

Ah, sorry. Anyway, how DO YOU BECOME AN ADMINISTRATOR? I know a fair amount of SW, and would like to contribute a hell lot of stuff (pardon my French). Right. So, ah, I'll probably have a ton of questions. I'd also like to know the scoop on the administrative process of Wikipedia and Wookiepedia. I've noticed a lot of articles aren't very complete and a fair amount have a lot of junk in them as well, please excuse my bad language.

RelentlessRouge 18:29, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I wouldn't apply, you most likely receive several "Oppose with recommendation that candidate withdraw" since you have so few edits and have been here about two days. But if you really want to apply (I really wouldn't recommend it) then go to WP:RfA. --Darth Deskana (Darth Talk) 20:07, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
RelentlessRogue, I suggest you join us over at Wookieepedia. You seem like you would be a great help to us! Check it out. The Wookieepedian 20:17, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, detailed information on starships and stuff goes great for Wookieepedia, but not necesarily Wikipedia. — Deckiller 21:49, 15 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hey, thnx, but how do I join?

RelentlessRouge 13:58, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Just list your username under the members section on the project page. — Deckiller 14:37, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ok. I have accumulated 3 days of experience on Wikipedia and see several things that could be improved. (I AM ALSO NOW AN OFFICIAL WIKIPEDIA MEMBER! YAH00!)

1. Star Destroyer page: There needs to be a different page for each class: Imperial, Venator, Acclamator, etc... 2. There needs to be links from all Wikipedia SW articles to their Wookiepedia equivalents. Very important!

  • Disagree with the first one; some classes of Star Destroyer are not notable enough to deserve their own article on Wikipedia itself (hence why they're together in one, organized article). — Deckiller 23:37, 16 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Converting references

Check out this string of edits I made tonight. This pretty much needs to be done on all Star Wars-related articles. It's a three step process ... First, I remove all of the Ibid. and duplicate links and just point all of the refs at the same note (although {{ref label}} would technically be more appropriate here, we're going to remove it in the next step so it doesn't really matter). Then I put the article through Ref converter. And finally, I go back in and use proper citation templates (such as {{cite book}}) to format all of the reference notes. It takes awhile but the result is a more clean-looking reference list and book data divided into useful metadata (which the cite templates do). --Cyde Weys 05:31, 21 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, just when I was getting comfortable with the previous method of citing... -- wacko2 02:02, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Luckily, this one is easier to figure out! --Cyde Weys 23:12, 23 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"Revelations" - great spin-off movie missing here

Well yes, I tried to edit the Category:Star Wars spin-off films page, but I don't exactly know how. I guess I would have to write a new article, but I can't. Here is some info about this movie: http://panicstruckpro.com/revelations/ They have free downloads as MOV or WMV there, but if you look further, you can also find BitTorrent downloads for HQ DVD images.

Sorry guys

Sorry I haven't been around much lately; been very busy with IRL issues and the like. I should slowly pick my edits/day back up to 200-250 within a month. — Deckiller 00:52, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
