Just letting you know that the barn-burner has been extended through January due to a lack of activity during a busy December and the release of the film still being a month away. You can see discussion here. MasterFred(Whatever) 22:32, January 1, 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Menk, I think I've asked you about this before, but it was a long while ago. Don't you have Insider 91? Would you mind checking the article "Refresher Reading"—Star Wars Insider 91 for a picture of a Lutrillian? I'm trying to sort out the three Mos Eisley Cantina Lutrillians we have now due to the recent christening of Atheloe and Ownellco when we used to think we only had Solomahal. Thanks for the help! ~Savage 04:21, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah! I have the hard copy. There's a picture of the cantina bar, and a Lutrillian is peeking out from behind one of the Tonnika Sisters. I wouldn't be able to tell you which one, so I've scanned and e-mailed the page to you. Hopefully you can figure out his identity. Menkooroo 05:14, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
Awesome, thanks! The ascot makes him Ownellco (too bad Chee didn't reverse those two names so it'd be ascot = Atheloe). Got a new Mac so can't run Behind the Magic to finally finish re-checking all the Lutrillian refs, but hopefully today! ~Savage 14:59, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
Fair enough, I see your viewpoint. I just was not sure how to deal with those sorts of sources. I've removed the sources from Brooks too. Hanzo Hasashi 05:44, January 2, 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Menk, what ever became of our discussion about "The Adventures of Jeremy Barlow" in Star Wars Tales 23? I'm finally getting around to adding that Lamproid appearance to the article, but I wanted to ask how you decided to treat the source. ~Savage 18:54, January 3, 2012 (UTC)
Ummmmm I dunno. I remember the original discussion got sidetracked by the drunk driving ad, so we never really figured out how to treat the Tales intros. I think that any of the methods we suggested were OK, as long as we all agreed not to create in-universe articles on Dark Horse Comics and such. Menkooroo 19:53, January 3, 2012 (UTC)
Hello Menkooroo, I feel like I have asked this before, but do you have Star Wars: Behind the Magic? If so, can you tell me if Vul Tazaene is at all pictured? Hanzo Hasashi 05:59, January 4, 2012 (UTC)

Hello Menkooroo, would you have access to any of the sources s'Too Vees is pictured in that are not already listed for Janse, per Toprawa's objection? Also, if you look at the info I added to Cabbel sourced to the Radio Drama script, can you tell me if the same info can be instead sourced to the drama itself? I would believe no, as you mentioned the RD just skips over that scene. Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 04:42, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks again. Hanzo Hasashi 05:11, January 5, 2012 (UTC)
Hello Menkooroo, with all the updating that I did to Brooks Carlson courtesy of the stuff proving all the strike team were Hoth veterans, etc., do you think the article is still ideal? Is there anything else I should do to fix up the article? Note that this is not a prenom; I am planning to keep him as a GA because it's under 3000 words, and also I don't think I can deal with another FAN at this time either. Hanzo Hasashi 05:13, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
Hi there Menkooroo. I notice that you have been reverting the edits I have made about the deaths of the Jedi involved in the Conclave on Kessel. If you had noticed, I put a source by Leland Chee, Keeper of the Holocron, which confrims that this event happened in 18 BBY, and not 19 BBY. So unless you can provide an updated source which confirms this event happened in 19 BBY, the dates will remain at 18 BBY. Ressor 10:44, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
Ok, fair enough, I see your point. But, the events in Jedi Purge seem to take place after Dark Lord: The Rise of Darth Vader, which is set in 18 BBY. DL:TRODV takes place a few weeks after ROTS, whereas Purge takes place a full one month after ROTS. Vader has difficulties using his suit in the book, whereas in the comic he seems to have gotten a bit used to it. Do you know if there is a way to contact Leland Chee? I apologise for re-reverting all your edits. Ressor 19:44, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
According to our very own Wookieepedia page, Dark Lord is set in 18 BBY, and the date of death given by Chee for Fang Zar is also 18 BBY :P If only we knew how far into 19 BBY were the events of ROTS... If I ever find a way to ask him, I will :) Ressor 21:50, January 8, 2012 (UTC)
Hello again. I noticed that you answered my question on the article request page about the Jedi in the First Battle of Geonosis. Did you manage to get a picture of him? Ressor 20:33, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Menkooroo; due to some fact checking, I've had to delete the article in question since the actual source does not mention an officer or commander in any context. The nom has been archived in the history. Thanks for the initial review. Just thought I'd give you a heads up on the proceedings. Cheers, Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 21:34, January 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Menk, you still looking for info on Sei Taria from the Episode I Insider's Guide? I've been a bit out of it lately, and I just noticed your query on my talk page a while back. Let me know, and I'll see if I can get it running. ~Savage 20:03, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
That would be amazing! Thank you for the offer. :) Hmmm... I have the Second Edition of A Guide to the Star Wars Universe if you need anything from that! Menkooroo 22:39, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
Without further ado: Taria is the subject of a trivia question in the game (these are scattered about on virtually every screen; hers is on Valorum's page): "Identify Chancellor Valorum's administrative aide." Choosing her brings up this blurb: "Sei Taria assisted Valorum by researching and confirming procedural regulations during the complex Senate gatherings. She views Senator Palpatine as a mentor." She also has a glossary entry that is virtually identical to the trivia blurb. Good luck finishing up the article! ~Savage 23:11, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
You, sir, are a gentleman and a scholar. Many thanks. I have some hardcore copy-editing to do, but I hope to have her completed before the end of the week! Menkooroo 23:13, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
Hello Menkooroo, can you email me Night Attack? I would actually like to see the verbatim information myself. Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 23:36, January 16, 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I'm an experienced Wookieepedia user, but new to actually editing. I was told to ask you whether it is okay to add 'formerly' in parentheses on the 'republic' part of a defected senator's affiliation. Example, Rogwa Wodrata. It just had 'republic' and 'cis'. In these situations would it be appropriate to add "formerly' on 'republic'?

About it being crowded, why don't we replace one of the comic pictures with the one from the film? As the films are always bigger than the comics and all that, plus it would stop people asking when/where does he appear in the movie... Ressor 03:34, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Menk, I don't know if you already know, or how "plugged in" you are with Star Wars on Facebook, but I just wanted to let you know that James Luceno is going to be doing a Q and A on the Star Wars Books facebook page tomorrow at 3pm eastern time. I know you've been working on his article, so here's an opportunity to ask the man himself any questions you may have! Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 22:36, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
Ok, I won't. The reason I removed them is because the novel was the only time they have appeared, appeared for a very short time, only a few lines of dialogue, they didn't even have names, and didn't really play important roles. Ressor 20:36, January 24, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for all the info. Since you were so excited about it yesterday, I'll let you go ahead and pre-nom it if you want. ;) MasterFred(Whatever) 20:20, January 27, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Menk, have you seen Rogues Gallery: An Audience of Aliens? As far as I was concerned, there was not really anything to update on the article, hence why I removed the update tag. Do you disagree? --Eyrezer 08:45, January 28, 2012 (UTC)
I probably won't need a full scan unless it adds any new info that isn't in the aricle. Aside from his presence in the box, of course, which will be added shortly. Thanks for the heads-up! NaruHinaTalk 22:00, January 29, 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations on being voted Wookieepedian of the Month! How does it feel?
I’m very proud. I wish to thank everyone who voted for me.
When and how did you first become a Star Wars fan?
I have always vey liked Star Wars but I became a true fan when I began my work on with my mod for Empire at War (Strategic Improvement) some years ago. I needed precise informations about the expanded universe and I quickly discovered that Wookieepedia is the more complete.
What is your favorite Star Wars movie, book, comic, and game?
I largely prefer the original trilogy and the events of the Galactic Civil War. I’m very septic the Clone Wars period. My favorite books are those written by Michael Stackpole and Timothy Zahn and particularly the famous Thrawn trilogy.
What interests you the most about editing Wookieepedia?
I prefer working on the events of the Rebellion era. I’m working on Crimson Empire 3 and I am also still working on the Essential Atlas which is pretty uncompleted. I later would like to complete the articles about the old Classic and Marvel Star Wars, and the old WEG RPG.
Since English is not your first language, do you find it difficult to participate in the Wookieepedia community?
It was very difficult for me at the beginning, particularly to talk with other users, but with the time it became better. Wookieepedia very improved my English! It is almost not a problem for me anymore.
What kind of impact would you like to leave on Wookieepedia?
I would like Wookieepedia as complete and rigorous as possible, especially since I know the Star Wars authors use it and I saw the SW website link to it. It is a reference!
Do you have advice for anyone interested in joining the Wookieepedia community?

Hey Menk; sorry for the tardy reply - I took a few days off the Wook to save the galaxy from the Reapers. An interview sounds fine; high treason is probably the least of my crimes. Shoot the questions over to my email address (it's linked to my account) and I'll get on them as soon as I can for you :) - Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 09:13, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Menk. I checked Behind the Magic for the Ewoks cartoon. Check my talk page; I got about three messages within a few hours, so you might have missed my reply to you there. ~Savage 12:35, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Menk. Yeah, that cell image of Trebla isn't the best, but it is a lot clearer than anything you're gonna get from a YouTube or other online screengrab. Another option, though, is the Ewoks cartoon DVD. One of the Jinda episodes is featured there, and there should be some fairly decent footage of Trebla. Do you have it? If not, I can take a look and try to find something that's a bit better than either of the other two options. Let me know. ~Savage 12:54, March 13, 2012 (UTC)
Hey! Yeah, I felt bad about my quick reversion of the image, so I added it to my user page to hang onto it for further consideration. Tales from the Endor Woods, you say? Actually, that would be amazing. That's really nice of you to offer. Thanks for that, and for taking the time to clean up that cel, too. It's really appreciated. Does Tales from The Endor Woods have subtitles? If so, any chance you could confirm the spelling of his name? Thanks again. :) Menkooroo 03:54, March 14, 2012 (UTC)
OK, this is the best I could do. The episode doesn't have any good closeups of Trebla (spelling confirmed by closed captioning), but these might be better than the YouTube caps or the animation cel. (Remove the images from the gallery once you decide so the non-used ones can get deleted.) Let me know if you need any other images from the episode; I took a few other screen caps that might be useful. The DVD transfer wasn't the best on this title, but it's decent. :) ~Savage 14:49, March 16, 2012 (UTC)
Holy crap! I can't thank you enough for this. I just noticed that you uploaded DVD screencaps of the two youtube images I had placed in the bio. Seriously, you are amazing. Check out the article now; you've also provided a great image for the bio's final section. :) Menkooroo 17:08, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
Ah, any excuse to postpone schoolwork. Happy to oblige! :) ~Savage 17:35, March 18, 2012 (UTC)
Hi Menkooroo, can you do a source/adaptation check for Grond (Imperial)? His appearances are rather lacking in comparison to other characters from the same scene. Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 20:27, March 14, 2012 (UTC)
Hi Menkooroo. I saw you as one of the participants for WP:NJO and thought you will be familiar with this era. I have some question for you. I'm progressing with my readings thru all novels from that era and I noticed, most novels before Destiny's Way have wrongly written titles Jedi Knight in dramatis personae sect. (mainly Jacen, Jaina, and other survivors of Myrkr strike team) before actual knighting ceremony. I realized that while reading Destiny's Way and adding appearances as I go. I'm not sure how that problem should be corrected in each previous novels before Destiny's Way. Should I simply change them to Jedi apprentice and put ref. in notes and references or leave it and put ref. stating "he/she should be Jedi apprentice" ? Or do you have other idea how to solve this pretty complex issue? More, I'm not sure if Anakin, Jacen, Jaina, Lowbacca, Tenel Ka etc. were automaticaly knighted in one of Young Jedi Knights books when they graduated from Jedi academy. I didn't pay attention to that, cause I didn't know it would become problem later in NJO. I also want to do that right according all wookieepedia rules. Thanks for your help.--Jedi Marty 17:02, March 21, 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Menk. I'm honored you asked, and I'd be happy to oblige. You can ask me the questions in either place, but I'd prefer my email so I can look them over better at my convenience. Cheers.—Cal Jedi(Personal Comm Channel) 02:32, March 22, 2012 (UTC)

Heya. Basically Pash Cracken was in the game virtually identical to the way the Tarrin Datch article is written in regards to his inclusion in the game. I can probably fix up the Pash article up today to include his actions in SWG. StarsiderSWG 15:14, March 22, 2012 (UTC)
I do have a picture similar to the Tarrin Datch one. I'll upload it here once I find it. StarsiderSWG 02:33, March 23, 2012 (UTC)
That information looks pretty accurate to me! This is the best image I have of Pash from the game. It was taken from the collection window, so it's unfortunately quite small. The game was shut down only months after these ace pilot things were added, so no close-up pictures exist of these pilots as far as I know. StarsiderSWG 14:32, March 24, 2012 (UTC)
No problem! Glad I could help. StarsiderSWG 15:53, March 25, 2012 (UTC)
A question for those who review my articles. :D No to be honest, I believe the more GAs you write the better you get. As a non-native English speaker it is a little bit more difficult because you have to translate your thoughts into another language. But I believe it is save to say that your writing improves with the time. Many errors are that you do not know such things as context, Point-of-view or some other stuff. And that's gone after some noms. However, it also depends on the sort of the article. If you write 20 character articles and write your first battle article it is something completely different. Clone Commander LeeTalk 14:25, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
Yes, I believe it is. Without reviewers no articles would pass. Especially important is the AgriCorps whose members are our elite users who are very experienced in writing and reviewing GAs. You can help a lot by reviewing articles and you'll learn the rules for promoting an article. I'll try to review as many GANs as I could with my long-range aim to be an AC some day. Clone Commander LeeTalk 14:34, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
That's it. Would be nice if you could fix any grammatical mistakes or other errors. Once again, thank you. Clone Commander LeeTalk 14:34, March 26, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Menk; while I have no objections to you writing up a character on the list, Brannij could be problematic. Brannij is tied into the ending of the campaign and Sarne's downfall, which has multiple options for resolution and I'm not entirely sure how I'm going to address it yet. I don't want to be in the situation where writing up at least two other major articles (Sarne and the Battle of Kathol) would either have to adhere to the existing article, or force a change in the Brannij article to tie in with the sequence of events. Especially since Sarne won't be ready for a long while yet. Of course, keeping the resolution deliberately vague would work, but there may still have to be revision at a later date to tie everything together. Of course, I'm happy to collaborate on the specific sections I have worries about since I have extensive notes tucked away somewhere :) - Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 13:55, March 30, 2012 (UTC)
No problems. Depending on what type of character you wish to write up, I could probably make a few suggestions. Generally, though, if a character appears in a specific adventure, they are rarely mentioned outside of it. Only a few have multiple appearances, but they have a tendency to be mentioned in odd places. - Cavalier One(Squadron channel) 14:03, March 30, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Menk. Since you seem to be successful in proposing new things, like the GAs on the Main Page, I was wondering if I could get your feedback on this proposal. Essentially, we've now reached the point where articles (namely Wedge) are so long that they cause browsers to hang up, so I think it's time to revisit the idea of splitting large articles into multiple pages. Any and all feedback would be appreciated. :) —MJ—Jedi Council ChambersWednesday, April 4, 2012, 01:20 UTC
I think you've done a good job of explaining your reasoning for the proposal, and since it seems like the kind of idea that would intrinsically turn some people off, that kind of explanation is essential. I'll admit that my first thought was "Split articles? No way!" But then I read it and thought "Ah, yeah, that makes sense." Copy-editing Wedge on the crappy computer I had at work about a year and a half ago was certainly frustrating. I think the proposal might benefit if you gave an example --- ie, create a few sandbox pages and split Wedge up into them so that people would know exactly what the split article would look like. Does that make sense? As for my recent luck in CTs, I was fortunate enough to have had the Mofference to gauge the community's thoughts first, and then a subsequent SH thread. Do you plan to bring this to the SH before CTing it? I've found that large-scale changes like this usually need multiple feedback forums before they have any chance of succeeding. I say multiple because sometimes a single SH thread isn't enough for people to air all of their grievances. Even if people like the idea, there are usually a lot more details to iron out than you might expect. So, yeah, SH it. Maybe twice. :P Menkooroo 01:51, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the feedback. I definitely intend on creating an example with Wedge and taking it to the SH first; in fact, the proposal in the sandbox is essentially a draft of the initial SH post. I'll think it over for a few days while I work out the example. Again, thanks for the input. :) —MJ—Jedi Council ChambersWednesday, April 4, 2012, 01:57 UTC
No problem. Thanks for coming to me. :) I'll be happy to participate in the SH thread, too. Menkooroo 02:04, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Menk, I just archived that thread as successful. Feel free to poke me or another admin (probably another one; I'm going on vacation over easter) when you or someone else has created the random CA page so that it can be added to the main page. Cheers, 1358(Talk) 12:26, April 4, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Menk, no worries. :) I'd like to get a second opinion on something about the image though—the person in the top left corner appears to maybe have purplish-colored skin. I'd assume it's a Keshiri, but I'm not positive… Thoughts? Jonjedigrandmaster(Talk) 17:35, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
Cool. Actually, per the timing of the image (Sith betraying the Jedi right as Ves was trying to distract Ben), the guy attacking Luke in the top right is Gavar. Jonjedigrandmaster(Talk) 00:31, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
Hi Menk, do you think maybe you can take care of it, seeing as you have the source? I also believe the info won't be enough to push him into being a GA? Hanzo Hasashi 14:54, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
Nala is done, can I get a prenom before taking him to the GAN? Can I also get prenoms for Palso Thern, Hakin and Maer, whom I have expanded to 250+ words, as they were originally CAs which passed with over 200? Hanzo Hasashi 17:04, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
I already knew about that with Oxixo. His physical experience is reflected in his infobox, as well as the P & T. Hanzo Hasashi 17:32, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
If it's not obvious already to you, I did not do a good job with the cropping. Could you upload a better crop? Hanzo Hasashi 17:47, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
See if it's good now. If not, perhaps you can better adjust? Hanzo Hasashi 17:52, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
How is my recent edit? Hanzo Hasashi 18:06, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
Fixed I think. Hanzo Hasashi 18:20, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
Hope this is what you were looking for. Hanzo Hasashi 20:29, April 8, 2012 (UTC)
Also a question about Maer. Though I know you supported his CA nom last spring, do you think, from the card photo, it was obvious he fought in the Battle of Hoth, or could he have just been on some scouting/training mission? Hanzo Hasashi 04:14, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
I read Sompeetalay's blog, and though I know that isn't a canon source, he lists Maer as one of the troops who did fight in the trenches. If you disagree it's as simple as me just reverting the edit. Hanzo Hasashi 04:44, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
Reverted to a previous version. And all my articles are no longer inuse, ready for prenom. Hanzo Hasashi 21:07, April 9, 2012 (UTC)
Jan Duursema was the illustrator for the Star Wars: Legacy comic books as well as many titles and she was the co-creator of characters like Aayla Secura, Quinlan Vos, and CADE SKYWALKER. Back in 2006, she confirmed on the Jedi Council Forums that cade was 21 at the time of the Massacre at Ossus in 137 ABY. Yes she made a statement about Ben being Cade's ancestor that was debuked when Sue Rostoni (the executive editor and fiction & comic editor at Lucas Licensing at the time) said the they would not confirm or denial that at this point, but I have found no similar statement about cade's age (if you do let me know). Dispite what you said, public statements made by qualified people can be considered canon if an offical spokesperson does not denies them.
Oh and one more thing, if Cade wasn't born in 116 ABY, then why does it clearly state it on his page. AH2000 14:18, April 10, 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Menk. I noticed the recent AC probe of Gank, and the question of whether Gank and Gank Killer should be separate articles. I've been doing some preliminary research on this question, and my conclusion is that they should not be separate. While in earlier sources it is ambiguous whether all Ganks are necessarily Gank Killers, ever since A Guide to the Star Wars Universe (Third Edition), they two terms have been established as synonyms. The most recent source to mention the matter, The Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia, maintains this stance. As such, could you do any necessary magic to merge the two articles? There's no info in the Gank Killer article that isn't also present in Gank, and I've made sure the source and appearance list at Gank has been expanded to take into account those at Gank Killer. That means a simple redirect of Gank Killer to Gank should suffice. However, I know that there's sometimes some merger magic that needs to be done to merge not just the articles but their edit histories as well. That I leave to you and the other folks with the tools. :) Thanks! ~Savage 18:27, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
I think the only way to preserve an edit history is to actually move a page, but since Gank already exists, we can't very well move Gank Killer to it --- I think redirecting is the only way to go here. I could be wrong; Xd or another technical wizard would probably know better. Menkooroo 18:30, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
OK, thanks. I'll ask. I'm unsure when a history merge is or is not warranted; it's something they do on Wikipedia. ~Savage 18:43, April 11, 2012 (UTC)
Sieg heil!
Seriously, why be so rude to me? I DESPISE fan fiction, trollers, idiot editors and most of all vandals and kids. Do please take into consideration that I run my own wikia and am disgusted by it. I'm rank 1 on it and another wiki and an admin on three. I don't need to be harassed at 6:18 am here and for nothing.
Hello Menkooroo! I'm having some trouble with the image uploader. I'm trying to upload an image for my userpage and it won't let me for some reason. Can you help me out? Thank you! OtterSurf 13:45, April 24, 2012 (UTC)
It won't let me upload an image for my user page. It's a screenshot .png. I keep pressing "upload" and it just returns me to the upload form. I AM SO FRUSTRATED!!! Thanks for any help you can offer. OtterSurf 13:44, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
PLEASE HELP ME. I've filled in all the karking fields and it still won't upload the image! OtterSurf 14:12, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
I've tried all that. I'll post a question. THanks for the pointer! OtterSurf 19:29, May 4, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for looking through all the adaptations; it's certainly not something I can do at the present moment, since I'm still half a continent away from my books, many of which aren't movie adaptations to begin with. It's appreciated. Does the article include any information besides pointing out a specific extra as Voren? jSarek 04:56, April 30, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks again. I'll see about getting to it by this weekend. :-) jSarek 04:46, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
To make this clear, I was not avoiding any CT whatsoever, Menk. Furthermore, organizing something that was in need of fixing did not violate any CT or the one that was recently passed. With your "modeled" comment, I believe you're only following precedence that was established with the FAN, and that does not mean that whatever is established in the FAN needs to carry to the GAN. While queue may have been modeled after the FAN's via a CT, the pages themselves were not a part of those discussions. I have already taken your comment into consideration and removed the sections since any order was fine. JangFett(Talk) 00:54, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
To be more specific, please point out where it said that you could dump the new queue rules right on top of everything else in the instructions. To be fair, Menk, I believe you're making a big deal out of something than it really is. Simply organizing something does not violate anything. The words that were placed in the instructions were not touched and I already have added in a line that was accidentally removed when I was organizing. JangFett(Talk) 01:06, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
I am very familiar with the CT, thank you, Menk. Accusing me of being ignorant of it does not help this case. JangFett(Talk) 01:18, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
And I didn't take it as an insult. Even though I did not vote in either of the CTs does not mean I am not aware of them. JangFett(Talk) 01:25, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
Please be aware that your assertion of being "tired of this" prompted me to advise you to take a chill pill. In the future, you may want to refrain from expressions of displeasure as the means by which you hope to convey a point, as such statements may elicit the types of responses you received. Furthermore, if it is an example you are attempting to make out of someone, take care that the someone doesn't end up being you. Thanks,—Tommy9281 Thursday, May 3, 2012, 00:06 UTC
Hello Menkooroo, SavageBob and I are debating whether or not Chall Bekan should by default be considered the other ANH Morseerian. I remember on IRC we talked about this before, and we both agreed that they should not be automatically assumed to be the same. Can you share your thoughts? Hanzo Hasashi 15:02, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Menk. I see you've added a {{Delete}} tag on The Unauthorized Star Wars Compendium article, but I reckon it's not a very obvious call. Wouldn't you think it would be more suitable to try and trash compact it? I say this because I believe the article would fulfill the "Content" requirement for notability, but that's debatable. Let's have that debate! Cheers. Stake blackmsg 20:58, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
On a related note, when dealing with a potentially non-notable fan project, please use {{Notability}} instead of {{Verify}}. {{Notability}} is designed for this purpose, better communicates the problem, and operates in the same way (deletion after seven days). —MJ—HolocommWednesday, May 9, 2012, 21:19 UTC
Oops, I meant "Verify". Anyway, I suppose you are right about those other books. Still, I'm going to see how the other editors feel about it, if you don't mind. Cheers. Stake blackmsg 23:10, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
Hello Menkooroo, can you do a source/adaptation check for Bob Hudsol? It seems that Skippy looked into his adaptations and other sources back in 2010, but I want to be sure the list is complete first. Can I also get a GA prenom too? Hanzo Hasashi 19:00, May 14, 2012 (UTC)
Hi there. Sorry for the delay. This is the only image of Turr Phennir from SWG that I have. If you need anymore, don't hesitate to ask! StarsiderSWG 15:06, May 15, 2012 (UTC)
Fixed Grondorn, and the link to quest was done by Starsider. I'll ask him for more quotes, it's clear he says more stuff. Hanzo Hasashi 20:25, May 15, 2012 (UTC)
Looks like Grondorn's indeed eligible for FA status. Now that I think it's complete, can I get a final lookover before it goes into the FA nom page? Hanzo Hasashi 17:35, May 20, 2012 (UTC)
Hi again. I was just wondering if you knew why some things have changed on this wiki since yesterday. For the new wiki layout, typing in a search query does not give you options anymore, and the options given to you when linking have changed in appearance. Did wikia change stuff again? 501stdogma(talk) 20:17, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
Are you on monobook? If so, that may be why I see the changes and you don't. 501stdogma(talk) 20:24, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
It seems a lot of the changes Wikia is doing affect the new wiki layout more than monobook, but I started on the new wiki layout, so its hard to change over. Thanks, 501stdogma(talk) 20:40, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
Trebla has been approved by the Inquisitorius and awarded Featured status. Please record your achievement here, and feel free to add the {{User featured}} template to your userpage to acknowledge your hard work. The Inquisitorius thanks you for your efforts, and looks forward to future nominations from you! — Darth Culator(Talk) 21:12, May 16, 2012 (UTC)
Hello Menkooroo. I've been working on the Talisman of the Raven recently, and I inted to nominate as a Good Article soon. If you're interested and not too busy, I'd like to know if you could give me a prenom review. I've been told you were rigorous ;-) but I need that--English isn't my first language so there might be numerous problems. Cheers.--LelalMekha 09:19, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
To answer your preliminary questions:
Properties -- That observation makes sense, I'll try to find a way to fix it. Let me figure this out.
May or may not be Talzin -- In "Book of Sith", Talzin actually says that the Talismans are kept by the Shaman, and she adds "One of our sisters has yet to return the Talisman of the Raven." The point is we don't know if Talzin was already the shaman in charge when Charal stole the Talisman. It is possible that Talzin inherited a "missing magical items list" from her predecessor. The formulation may not be appropriate, though...
Reference to Book of Sith -- It's a dumb editing mistake. Has been fixed by now. Thanks for pointing out. ;-)
Charal's fate -- Nope, the movie does't say it, but quite a bunch of sources do. Fixed.
Captions -- Fixed that too. --LelalMekha 09:12, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
Hello Menkooroo, IIRC you have the Star Wars Character Encyclopedia, so would you be able to answer Trak's question on my Brooks nom as to whether or not he's pictured on page 154? Hanzo Hasashi 18:37, May 22, 2012 (UTC)
Hello Menkooroo, I have found all of Palejo Reshad's scenes in Return. When you have the time, can you look through the sources and adaptations? I can send you screenshots if it helps. By the way, I have decided to just nominate TK-577, so if you do give a review, leave any comments, objections, etc. on the nom page itself. Hanzo Hasashi 21:00, May 24, 2012 (UTC)
I would just like to thank you for your participation in the barn-burner. So far only three article have been nominated, but we have ten more being nominated. If you have time, please stop over at the review pages and give the barn-burner articles a review. Since some people wanted the barn-burner to be in June, I was thinking that we should extend it through June to catch more nominations. If you have any comments please reply on the Barn-burner page. Thank you for your participation!--Exiled Jedi(Greetings) 12:33, May 26, 2012 (UTC)

"Refresher Reading"—Star Wars Insider 91 for a picture of a Lutrillian? I'm trying to sort out the three Mos Eisley Cantina Lutrillians we have now due to the recent christening of Atheloe and Ownellco when we used to think we only had Solomahal. Thanks for the help! ~Savage
