Force users

Isn't that article a bit superfluous, given that it is essentially thesame list from the the Force page? As for the fates ofPalpatine's aides, I believe it is the Episode III VisualDictionary that states they were dealt with shortly after the birthof the Empire in accordance with High Human Culture. --Jon Hart

Alrighty then. I shall add that. And running it through Diff, itdoes seem to be redundant. I'll delete it.--Maru (talk)19:36, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I realize your points, very good reasons. But where should I explainJedi roamers and spirits? I tried in Jedi, but it got deleted. Andthere also needs to be an explantation of Force users such asKiffu/Kiffex/Kiffar Guardians, Witches of Danthromir, Hapian Guard,Dark Prophets, Light and Dark Jedi, Rogues.....I'd be willing to dothat. --User: Penman the Egyptian

Well, with Jedi Spirits, that probably should go in the Jedi article. The removal was probably for bad prose, lack of references, anddistrust. (the SW articles get vandalized, have malicious informationinserted, fanfiction uploaded all the time. We are a littleparanoid.) I have no idea what a roamer is, so I can't help you there,and the Force users, where feasible, get an article to themselves,well referenced, and linked to on the Force page. And Light Jedi neednot get an article, it is just another name for Jedi; Rogue soundslike a character class from the D&D inspired SW rpgs. Our unofficialde facto policy is that unless a sourcebook, say, mentions them andgives a detailed profile (minus the game mechanics- game mechanics arenot canon), they do not get included. So, Dark side devotee,since it is in the Dark Side sourcebook, with a large profile ofnon-game mechanic data, gets a page, but smuggler does not. --Maru (talk)21:51, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Where did my comment go? --Penman theEgyptian 22:36, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

You mean the header? I removed it because one can easily see whowrote the comment at the end of the comment. Suffixes to messages arepreferred to prefixes. --Maru(talk) 22:39, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

I'll explain roamers eventually. Could you get on today, at 3:00afternoon, and then I'll post something and you say whether it wasright or not? Have to go to edit my The Reality Bug page. And thenI'll write something Star Wars, no doubt. Stay tuned! Penman the Egyptian 10:43, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, I'll be on for probably about an hour from this message, andon IRC too. So you probably want to visit the channel.--Maru (talk)18:31, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

I'll post Something now.....Penman theEgyptian 19:22, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry, question.

I'm SO sorry if this is dumb, but can you read and writefanfic here? Ihad a Star Wars one and you mentioned something about fanfiction in"Note to Self" and how excactly do pics work? User:Penman theEgyptian

No, this isn't the place to upload fanfiction. - A Man In <fontcolor="000000">Black (conspire | past ops) 21:41, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Figured that, but just asking. User: Penman the Egyptian

OMG, absolutely not! Nothing will get you a bad rep and carefulobservation faster than uploading fanfiction. The SW section ofWikipedia is only for canonical in-Universe data, and verifiable,interesting real world data on SW. For picture data, seeWikipedia:Images; and ask all the questions you need to.--Maru (talk)21:55, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Thank you. I always ask the vets. when I first join somewhere. This iskinda corny, but can you be like a mentor/friend for me? Penman the Egyptian 22:32, 15 October 2005(UTC)User:Penman The Egyptian

Sure. Ask me anything. If I'm not around, either askWikiFanatic at his talkpage. If you absolutely have to have an immediate answer, generallythe wikipedia IRC channel can handle it. (it is on the FreeNodeserver, channel #Wikipedia). --Maru(talk) 22:39, 15 October 2005 (UTC)

Richard P. Gabriel

Nice biography on Richard P. Gabriel. Thanks.--Xah Lee 22:36, 16 October 2005 (UTC)

What can I say? I'm a fan of Lisp, and when I saw that an importantfellow like him had barely even a stub, I went into action (it helpsthat he keeps an autobiography online too; the potential ease/lowhanging fruit tempted me). --Maru (talk) 01:40, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

Sorry

Worry not, they talked me out of it. I'm sorry I scared you. --Essjay ·</fontcolor=green> Talk 06:30, 17 October 2005(UTC)

Phew! --Maru (talk) 16:09, 17 October 2005 (UTC)

My aplogies

Thanks for intervening on the KOTOR 2 Talk page, I aplogize if I madeany problems in the dicussion. To be honest, the anon user had no ideahow wikipedia works in my opion but maybe I need to recive a bit ofdisipline. Who knows? --Dynamo_ace 08:22, 18October 2005 (UTC)

You did alright. You could have done better, (more links to wikipediapolicy and noob-guide pages, for example), but you didn't do toobadly. --Maru (talk) 17:46, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Popups

Your popups tool is flooding the page history of Jack Thompson(attorney). Is there any way to keep it from doing this? If thereisn't, maybe there is a better way to fix redirects.--silsor 18:07, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Yes of course there is. But there is no easier way, short of someonecoding a bot to fix redirects. --Maru (talk) 18:10, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

Barnstar

Thank you very much for the Barnstar! – Mipadi01:59, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Why are you thanking me? Do you think you do not deserve it? :)--Maru (talk)04:28, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

I guess it is not immodest to say I think I deserve it, but as weall know, not all deserving work goes noticed; so I guess I amthanking you for not only noticing, but taking the time to complimentme on it. :) – Mipadi 05:34, 19 October 2005(UTC)

Hah. I have ulterior motives- I can't have you burning out on me;I've got too much other stuff to take on your workload.--Maru (talk)05:37, 19 October 2005 (UTC)

Stop think

You want to contact editors not everyone. The correct page would be(preff a slight less inflamotry message MediaWiki:Watchdetails.--Geni 03:21, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Good idea. I will do that. --Maru (talk) No ads onWikipedia. 03:26, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

I want to make it clear that I neither endorse nor oppose thataction at the present time. --Geni 03:29, 24 October2005 (UTC)

Quite alright. I do not mind taking the heat.--Maru (talk)No ads on Wikipedia. 03:33, 24October 2005 (UTC)

I don't think it will come to that. Incidently the an should be ana. --Geni 03:38, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Ah, so it should be. Thanks. --Maru (talk) Noads on Wikipedia. 03:39, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Thanks for your response on my user page

Thanks for your explanation on my user page. I certainly understandthe distraction; I am also opposed to advertising on Wikipedia pages,and will look into the new proposal, when I will likely join thecause. Thanks again for taking the time to respond on my user page;don't worry, I wasn't too upset with the admins, just slightlyperplexed as such things are usually taken care of quite efficiently.--EWS23 | (Leave me a message!)07:10, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Glad to hear it. --Maru (talk) No ads onWikipedia. 07:20, 24 October 2005 (UTC)

Emperor's Hand

Well, in truth I just see no reason for the Emperor's Hand article tobe a part of the Sith category, as there is no inherent relationshipbetween the two. The only Sith who was ever an Emperor's Hand wasLumiya, but she wasn't both at the same time. "Emperor's Hand" wasmerely a title dispensed by Emperor Palpatine for some of his elitepawns, and those who held it required no knowledge of the Sith arts inorder to do so. It would be more appropriate to categorize it under"Dark Jedi," which I believe it already is. --JonHart 23:02, 25 October 2005 (UTC)

Well, given that they were trained in the dark side by one of thegreatest Sith ever, and that they were effectively replacements forDarth Maul... And besides, Blackhole was a Sith and an Emperor's Hand,was he not? --Maru (talk)Contribs 00:36, 26 October2005 (UTC)
