Eclipse-class dreadnought

[edit]

In response to your edit on Eclipse-class dreadnought.My response is that temporary i am willing to combine my article into the Star Destroyerarticle till then it will be a Internal part of Star Destroyer article.But when i will get enough Third party sources and material and Sources which are closer and part of the reality i will resurface my new and improved article as a successor of old Eclipse-class dreadnought articles.till then it will be only temporary a Internal part of Star Destroyer article and not as permanent part of the Star Destroyer.On the grounds of the following reasons:-

  • It can be alone stand itself as an independent article.
  • It is a completely based on a totally different subjects by fictionally and also the in reality.
  • An importance of the separate based articles on Star Wars Expanded Universe will only encourage to a development of topic and development and also a wide variety of topics based on star wars Expanded Universe.And may be we can achieve more Articles of great Quality on Quality scales according to the Wikipedia guidelines and significant development over the articles which need major overall and significant contribution and reboot.

At last but also significant important that i will contribute a major in the Star Wars related articles and i need people who will help me to achieve that goal and would be gratefully to get help and contribution from you and other Star Wars Wiki project members.

Your Gratefully,

Star Trek canon

[edit]

I'm not sure how WP:RS is applicable in this case, since in this instance the self-published source is just a collection of said in jokes from the primary source and isn't actually addressing if they should be considered canon or not, or, for that matter, why a citation that these things exist at all is needed in the first place. Also, I'm posting this here because using the article's talk page for things like this tends to not work. - Archduk3 (talk) 00:01, 2 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Star Wars project revival

[edit]

Hello. I have been thinking, since WikiProject Star Wars is quiet at the moment, we should update everything on the project, including the news and probably hold a coordinator election and I am thinking about getting Lucasfilm and LucasArts to GA status. Thoughts? Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 18:48, 15 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds decent to me. The other day, I dusted off (okay, scavenged nefariously) a copy of the DOS version of X-Wing, and I puttered a bit with that article today. I stumbled into some sources about LucasArts generally, and I'll take a gander at that article to see what's what. --EEMIV (talk) 21:18, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
LucasArts: ouch. --EEMIV (talk) 22:49, 23 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Indeed, this article is not quite up to snuff. We should get to work on this article and get this up to GA. Lord Sjones23 (talk - contributions) 02:56, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

X-Wing/TIE Fighter

[edit]

I appreciate your efforts in cleaning up the X-Wing and TIE Fighter articles, but when uproot an article that much, could you please at least use edit summaries/leave a note on the talk page explaining your changes? Some guy (talk) 02:53, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not inclined toward doing a line-item summary when making such extended revisions. If anything seems arbitrary or inappropriate, though, I'm happy to respond to a talk-page request for clarification. --EEMIV (talk) 20:48, 25 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Star Wars: X-Wing, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Ackbar (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
