Hey[edit]

Hey, thanks for the help sorting and fixing up the lists; it's going to be a big project, but we should be able to merge all the small articles into neat, full, well-cited lists in a matter of no time! Deckiller 19:54, 30 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]

James Lowell Manning[edit]

I removed your speedy deletion tag from this article. It was a redlink from List of people pardoned by Bill Clinton so I stubbed and categorized it instead. Regards, howch e ng {chat} 17:56, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair enough, didn't realize something else was (trying to, at least) link to it. BinaryTed 18:29, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

For articles that aren't obvious vanity/joke articles, you should check the incoming links -- click the "What links here" link in the left column in the toolbox. howch e ng {chat} 19:30, 9 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Vandalism[edit]

Hi, if someone has made edits that are clearly vandalism please use {{subst:bv}} or {{subst:test4}}, otherwise it just lets the user continue to vandalize for a lot longer before people realise that the user should be blocked and gives a lot of unnecessary work for people dealing with more vandalism from that user. Thanks Arniep 19:24, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I've tried that before, and when I went to report the person on WP:AIV was basically told they hadn't been warned enough yet. I don't particularly like it either, but jumping to test4 frequently doesn't seem effective. --BinaryTed 19:36, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Ever hear of the {{inuse}} template? --maru (talk) contribs 21:07, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Erm, I'm using it on both versions aren't I? Or did I accidentally lose it off the draft? Grr. (Yeah, I put in the extra note there cause one time I used the template and someone edited it anyway). --BinaryTed 21:29, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Lightsaber[edit]

Can you take a look at the lightsaber article? I've tried to make it as close to perfect as I can. (I fixed the possible copyright problem.) Is there any thing you think should be changed (in hopes of being a good/featured article? -Dark jedi requiem 23:39, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

WikiProject Star Wars newsletter[edit]

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!

wikEd[edit]

The wikEdlogo

Hi, I have seen that you are using the Cacycle editor extension. This program is no longer actively maintained in favor of its much more powerful successor wikEd.

wikEd has all the functionality of the old editor plus:• syntax highlighting • nifty image buttons • morefixing buttons • paste formatted text from Word or web pages• convert the formatted text into wikicode • adjustthe font size • and much, much more.

Switching to wikEd is easy, check the detailed installation description on its project homepage. Usually it is as simple as changing every occurrence of editor.js into wikEd.js on your User:YourUsername/monobook.js page.

List of Star Wars handmaidens[edit]

Another editor has added the {{prod}} template to the article List of Star Wars handmaidens, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but the editor doesn't believe it satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and has explained why in the article (see also Wikipedia:What Wikipedia is not and Wikipedia:Notability). Please either work to improve the article if the topic is worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia or discuss the relevant issues at its talk page. If you remove the {{prod}} template, the article will not be deleted, but note that it may still be sent to Wikipedia:Articles for deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.
