Species and subspecies Edit

Hey, Eyre. I've put up a CT here: Forum:CT:Species and subspecies. Hopefully this will help us figure out how to handle subspecies articles. I've got notes or drafts done for Arkanian Offshoot, Stennes Shifter, and Saurin for which I'm not entirely sure how to proceed otherwise! ~SavageBOB sig 16:46, October 2, 2012 (UTC)

Essential Reader's Companion Edit

Hey, Eyre. I just got The Essential Reader's Companion in the mail yesterday, and it seems to include some new species IDs and possibly new planet placements. For instance, it confirms that Big Gizz is a Moggonite hybrid, and it provides a planet placement for D'vouran during the events of Galaxy of Fear: Eaten Alive that we could use so place the Enzeen species (the planet moved after the events of the book, but it's probably good enough for us). It's a beautiful book, so try to track it down if you can. In the meantime, I'll be (slowly) making my way through it checking this stuff to see how it might impact our work. ~SavageBOB sig 11:36, October 3, 2012 (UTC)

  • Oh, exciting! Keep me posted on any new discoveries. --Eyrezer (talk) 08:49, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Night-soarer Edit

Hey, Eyre. Did you get my email about the Night-soarers? ~SavageBOB sig 14:31, October 6, 2012 (UTC)

Tiss'sharEdit

I noticed you did a pretty big clean-up on Tiss-shar; thanks for that. I have two concerns, though. First, I see you de-linked all of the image captions. While I don't see it reflected in the Manual of Style, I don't recall us ever overturning the consensus developed at the September 9 2007 Mofference (summarized here) that included image captions as linkable. Am I wrong about this? Second, I see you've set in stone the various types of Tiss'shar as subspecies, rather than races. My concern is the canon hasn't been consistent on this point: while the Ultimate Alien Anthology refers to them as subspecies, Galaxy Guide 12: Aliens — Enemies and Allies refers to them as races. Since there isn't a set-in-stone difference in the real world between the two terms, I wasn't concerned about their conflation, and used them synonymously in the article and in the articles about the subspecies. But if differentiating between the two terms is now important for our articles, we need to decide how best to handle it. jSarek (talk) 08:15, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

  • No worries. What prompted the clean-up was the addition of a new field in the infobox for subspecies, as distinct from races. There is a related discussion on this in the Senate Hall that you may want to check out. IIRC, my source was the CSWE - probably one of the more recent Tiss'shar sources, which referred to various subspecies.
  • On image captions, my understanding is that, as with quotes, they should only be linked if the term is not linked in the body of the text. I think all the ones that I took out were linked in the text. However, let me check that this is the case. --Eyrezer (talk) 08:40, October 15, 2012 (UTC)
    • There is this, but it doesn't appear to directly address it. --Eyrezer (talk) 08:46, October 15, 2012 (UTC)

Atlas Online CompanionEdit

Hey, Eyre, where'd you find the list of systems added in the latest Atlas Online Companion update? The page on SW.com still reflects the September 2011 update, although the PDF is the newer one. Tell me you didn't scour the two PDFs side by side! :) ~SavageBOB sig 12:46, October 18, 2012 (UTC)

  • LOL - I wanted to ask you how you knew there had been an update. No, I haven't seen any useful list of changes, but I had a look for the corrections that I had personally sent to Jason Fry, which accounted for a few. I also had a flick through Season 4 of The Clone Wars for the homeworlds of new species. There are no doubt non-species related worlds from TCW, but I have less of an interest in them. When they eventually put up an update, we will still need to go through systemically, I suspect. Yay! --Eyrezer (talk) 19:31, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
    • Ah, that makes sense. Also, it appears that the Expansion Region sectors have been assigned: per this edit. I suppose we should check through Expansion Region aliens we've featured and make sure they get the sectors mentioned somewhere. ~SavageBOB sig 19:45, October 18, 2012 (UTC)
      • Jason has also indicated that there is an Expansion Region map coming out, so no doubt all ER systems are now sectorized. --Eyrezer (talk) 00:28, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Ma'alkerrite ape-man Edit

GoodIcon2
"So—are you still worried about being sent to the Agricultural Corps?"
Ma'alkerrite ape-man has been approved by the AgriCorps and awarded Good status. Feel free to add the {{User GA}} template to your userpage to acknowledge your hard work. The AgriCorps thanks you for your efforts, and looks forward to future nominations from you! — CC7567 (talk) 15:09, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

Planetnamia Edit

Hey, Eyre. Tope pointed out to me that our commonly used "Planetnamia" citation to the Jedi Council Forums no longer seems to work. Do you have any idea what happened to Jason Fry's posting on the Planetnamians from Planetnamia thing? We probably need to update a bunch of citations... :/ ~SavageBOB sig 21:50, October 19, 2012 (UTC)

Just a note that while a concerted effort will eventually be started to convert all the links, in the meantime you can fairly easily convert IGN-format JCF links via the instructions here and here. —MJ— Comlink Friday, October 19, 2012, 23:18 UTC
Thanks for the assist, MJ! All links should nowbe fixed. ~SavageBOB sig 00:50, October 20, 2012 (UTC)

Conjeni Edit

Just in case you were looking for more projects, these guys just got placed in the new Atlas update: Conjeni. Thought I'd bring it to your attention, since, as a minor WEG species, they kind of have your name written all over 'em. ;) ~SavageBOB sig 10:54, October 26, 2012 (UTC)

Dyslogia Twang Edit

Hello Eyerezer. Since you possess a copy of Monsters and Aliens from George Lucas, would you be so kind as to tell me whether Dyslogia Twang appeared in this book or not? If she does, I'd also be interested in any picture and/or pertaining info. I'm currently expanding this article, but Monsters and Aliens was already listed in the sources before I started working on it. Thanks in advance! Regards. --LelalMekha (talk) 00:31, November 12, 2012 (UTC)

  • Hi Lelal. Let me know if you still need you this and I will email you the details. Cheers --Eyrezer (talk) 07:42, November 21, 2012 (UTC)
    • I still need this, yes. So can send me an email anytime you want. Thanks. ;) --LelalMekha (talk) 13:29, November 21, 2012 (UTC)

Andalese Edit

Done, a few days later. Also, check your e-mail, not yet, but... later this week. Menkooroo (talk) 00:44, November 26, 2012 (UTC)

  • Oh, the suspense! How about a review of Sakiyan, too? --Eyrezer (talk) 17:01, November 30, 2012 (UTC)

WP:KOTOR Edit

As of 0:00 UTC (8:00 PM EST), I have assumed responsibilities for leading this project, due to my predecessor Cylka's inactivity. Wherever she is, I wish her well in her endeavors, and should she come back, I will gladly turn over leadership back to her. Over the next few weeks, I look forward to reviewing more articles and also wish to get more KotOR-related projects off the ground, and look forward to moving forward to bettering this project and ultimately Wookieepedia. Thank you for your continued service to Wookieepedia.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 01:11, December 20, 2012 (UTC)

Yalaran Edit

Hi Eyrezer, I saw you reverted my edit on Yalaran, but the chrolonogy of the missions was already established in Star Wars: Jedi Knight: Jedi Academy: Prima's Official Strategy Guide and every JA-related article follows this convention. The fact that the Mission to Yalara is canon is indisputable. Cheers. Stake black msg 20:32, January 4, 2013 (UTC)

  • Sweet. Thanks for the clarification. --Eyrezer (talk) 00:52, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Image request Edit

Hello Eyrezer, do you happen to have Star Wars: Poison Moon? If so, would it be alright if you uploaded an image of Alysun Celz using Force lightning against Skywalker, and an image of Et Rex throwing a mynock at Celz? Thanks in advance.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 05:17, January 6, 2013 (UTC)

  • There is this and this. I hope they are big enough. --Eyrezer (talk) 10:10, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Request Edit

Hey, Eyre. How're ya doing? I have a request for you.

Since we've now reached 100,000 articles, I'm planning on writing an article for Wookieepedia NewsNet reflecting on how we got this far by looking back at the earliest days of the Wook. To that end, I'm contacting as many of the oldest (unflattering term, I know. Sorry) Wookieepedians as possible and asking them to chime in.

This is (intentionally) a pretty broad question, but I'm wondering if you can tell me about your early experiences on the Wook and your impressions of what the site was like during its first couple years. Something longer than a soundbite but shorter than a short story, since I'm hoping to quote as many people as I can. Humor and wit are of course encouraged. If you're interested, go nuts, and if you're not, no worries. Thanks, and have a good day! Menkooroo (talk) 15:37, January 12, 2013 (UTC)

Making a better "Timeline of media" revisitedEdit

Hi Eyrezer, I recently picked up where Morbus Iff left off a while ago on the Timeline of media revamp discussed here, to which you contributed. I'd appreciate your opinion on the near-finished project: User:Tainb'ocu'chulainn/Sandbox Timeline. The forum for the discussion is Forum:SH:Making a better Timeline of media: revisited. Thanks. Tainb'ocu'chulainn (talk) 20:31, February 11, 2013 (UTC)

Online AtlasEdit

Thanks Eyrezer, for updating the online atlas page. Glad to see they're back up. They were most definitely down earlier this year for a number of weeks at least. I checked a number of times and had assumed they were gone for good. Someone must have notified the authors and the links corrected. Rokkur Shen (talk) 12:24, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

  • No problem. The links to them were down at the bottom of the page as well, so could have been easy to overlook. --Eyrezer (talk) 12:27, March 1, 2013 (UTC)

G8-R2???Edit

Hey Eyrezer, I'm trying to confirm this droid's canonicity but can't seem to find the archived Q&A that confirms it. Since you created the page can you point me in the right direction? Rokkur Shen (talk) 08:00, March 19, 2013 (UTC)

  • I've had a quick look tonight, with no luck, I'm afraid. I was using this link here, which you might also like to try, be so far have been unable to the "Questions and Answers" section other than the "Ask the Jedi Council". I expect I would have called it that if that was its name, so it is a bit of a conundrum. --Eyrezer (talk) 09:31, March 21, 2013 (UTC)

Re: French Edit

Oh, sorry Eyerezer, it seems that I overlooked your request among the large number of emails I received lately. Why yes, French is my mother tongue. I'll have a look at it immediately. ;) --LelalMekha (talk) 23:14, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

  • There you are: "Nevertheless you are, to your knowledge, the first of your race to ever shoot down TIE fighters in space combat, since the equipment was conceived for such strange species." I know that sentence doesn't sound too good in English, but it actually doesn't sound better in French either. It's a quite typical example of a writer trying to sound "posh" and failing at it. I rendered matériel as "equipment," but it depends on the context—could have been "hardware," "gear" or even "tools." Also, are you sure that the text says à votre connaissance (to your knowledge) and not à notre connaissance (to our knowledge)? If we want to be sure, I may need a bit of context. --LelalMekha (talk) 23:28, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
    • Perfect! Thanks. Yes, it does say that (your knowledge) as it is written as a character profile for the reader to use in an RPG game - so first person. Cheers, --Eyrezer (talk) 23:31, April 19, 2013 (UTC)
      • My pleasure. Do not hesitate to ask if you have anything to translate from French. --LelalMekha (talk) 23:34, April 19, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Thranta Riders on Hyperspace Edit

Hello Eyerezer. If I remember correctly, you used to be a subscriber to the Hyperspace online feature, right? I've been hoping to expand the Thranta Rider page some more, but two of the sources are (now lost) Hyperspace articles. Perhaps you've kept some kind of backup? Regards. --LelalMekha (talk) 00:07, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

  • Nope, sorry. I was never a subscriber. I don't remember those articles but I expect they were actually reprints of WEG material. - - Eyrezer (talk) 10:33, May 2, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Bosph Edit

Thanks for the heads up Eyrezer! I saw them pretty late the other night and meant to work on them but totally forgot. Replied to all of them now. Ayrehead02 (talk) 18:48, May 11, 2013 (UTC)

Two-headed species and unidentified cantina Edit

Hey Eyerezer. At some point, I remember that you GA'd the article on that unidentified two-headed species. As with other articles pertaining to Yoda's Challenge Activity Center, we assumed that the two-headed patron attended an unidentified cantina. However, as you can see in that article, taht cantina looks exactly like Akim's Munch, down to the furniture. Wouldn't that be enough for a duck test? Cheers. --LelalMekha (talk) 12:52, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

  • Very interesting. I think that you are right! Good observation. --Eyrezer (talk) 16:27, May 16, 2013 (UTC)
