how origional

u have the same name for both wookiee and wiki. besides wat makes u think i am the vandal

Seeing how originality is not one of your strong suits, you're in no postion to talk. I know you are the vandal because 1. You are just as illiterate as him, and 2. You mentioned a specific date, which I was able to look up in the block log. Lo and behold, it was the same date the homophobe vandal was blocked numerous times by most of the people you mentioned in your little rant. Just give it up already.

it wasnt me it ws my friend and y am i not the one 2 talk i am very original, i am very literate i just type fast hand dumbass, its quicker

Typing fast is no excuse for poor writing. I also type fast, and I don't even make half the spelling and grammar mistakes you do. Although I will ignore the fact that you called me a dumbass (personal attacks are against the rules here, for your information), I just want to say that since this is a Wookieepedia issue, take this arguement over there. Then again, I also just remembered that because of your friend's little homophobic vandalism spree, I had to IP block half your city. If you can't edit at Wookieepedia, blame him.

ya it is and my problem is with u and ur friends not wikipedia, besides u personally attacked me when u blamed me for something i didnt do and u called me a homophobe. the street runs both ways

Like I said, take it to Wookieepedia. I will no longer respond to your comments here regarding this situation.

it looks like i win if u dont reply. i am victorious, u also used bad grammer in your last reply u said

 "I will no longer respond to your comments here regarding this situation."

you should have said "I will no longer respond to your comments regarding this situation here."

 or u should have put a comma in between here and situation

Hipocryte

Take it to Wookieepedia. StarNeptune 04:40, 6 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

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...
