None as of now.

List project?

[edit]

Main discussion: Wikipedia Talk:WikiProject Star Wars

I think we should launch a project where we create more narrow charcter lists. I already mentioned splitting the minor jedi list into three lists. However, perhaps lists for old republic, rebel/NR characters, imperial officers, imperial soldiers/soldier classes, and so on. We'd probably end up with 14-17 lists, but it beats 125 one-two paragraph articles. Thoughts? Deckiller 02:31, 12 February 2006 (UTC) Remaining lists:[reply]

General items

[edit]

Articles to be created

[edit]

All star wars novels merit their own articles. Deckiller 17:40, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

There isn't an article for any of the books, and there needs to be one for the series as a whole too. BryanG 06:31, 5 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Help... How should I set up the article because [[Star Wars: Black Fleet Crisis: #1 Before The Storm]] comes up Star Wars: Black Fleet Crisis: Dark jedi requiem 01:12, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

That is because you made the title too long. Just make the titles as The Black Fleet Crisis, Before the Storm, Shield of Lies and Tyrant's Test. Jedi6-(need help?) 01:47, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks! Dark jedi requiem 01:56, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
What's that one about? I've never heard of it. --maru (talk) contribs 03:42, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Its a e-book prequel to Tatooine Ghost by Troy Denning. It is about Chewbacca and his family. Sort of a goodbye to Chewbacca after they killed him off. Jedi6 03:46, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Maybe we should name it The Hive (novel) since other ebooks have been moved to novels? Jedi6-(need help?) 22:26, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Made into a stub. Jedi6-(need help?) 00:32, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List entries to be created

[edit]
  • Jedi Apprentice characters, planets, cities, locations, and so on.
I'm hesitant to put these into the Old Republic list, since there are so many JA characters. Deckiller 17:00, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • What I think would think is great is a list of battles in the Yuuzhan Vong invasion because on the Yuuzhan Vong invasion page the items are listed and only two have pages (and they are short). According to the page, the battles are:
  1. Battle of Helska IV
  2. Battle of Dubrillion note: NOT the Battle of Dubrillion (according once again to the Yuuzhan Yong invasion page.
  3. Battle of Obroa-skai
  4. Battle of Ithor
  5. Battle of Commenor
  6. Fall of Coruscant
  7. Battle of Kessel
  8. Battle of Ebaq 9
  9. Battle of Bastion--Did this happen?

Dark jedi requiem 04:34, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Good idea but the list you provided is false. Jedi6 05:33, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
lol, probably something that should be taken into consideration when making the list/editing the Yuuzhan Vong invasion. Dark jedi requiem 06:15, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles/lists to be expanded

[edit]
Certainly it could use some work, as it is not up to Wookieepedia's article- but is this the proper category? Does it need de-fan crufting, copyvio, copyedits, NPOVing? --maru (talk) contribs 03:18, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Moved it to expanded. But it needs more than expanding--it also needs a bit of clean-up as well, and a lot of work. —Mirlen 01:26, 14 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I can't expand it very much, but I can certainly clean it up. (I'm noticing a lot of links to redirects for one.) I'll work on fixing it up today as I have time. BinaryTed 16:01, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think there are other articles (namely List of Star Wars Old Republic characters that need help more... I won't be able to do much on this beyond what I've already done for the time being. --BinaryTed 15:09, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think all the list articles need more facelifts; whenever I merge, I am so tempted to fix them right there, but then the eventualist comes into me, lol...Deckiller 16:48, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Lol Deckiller, yeah, I promise I'll expand the Mara Jade article sooner or later...I have too much of my 'To-Do List' :P and invisible, unofficial 'To-Do List' :P. And BinaryTed, see what you mean with the Old Republic characters, but I'm not a big expert on the Old Republic era as I am with New Republic era. —Mirlen 14:18, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
LOL, you should have seen what it looked like BEFORE I wrote that. Since then I've basically completely revamped the article, moving a ridiculous number of characters both into and out of the article... and it could still use some additional eyes. --BinaryTed 17:40, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These lists look unfinished in my opinion. Please check them over. Tutmosis 22:06, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

They're definitely incomplete and lacking detail. I'd planned to maybe tackle them after doing the planets list. -- wacko2 05:32, 22 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

These are a few stub articles. Tutmosis 22:09, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This will soon be merged into the clone wars once Mipadi resumes work on it. Deckiller 04:16, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It'll probably need to be merged into a respective conflict article. Deckiller 22:50, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It's weird cause it's really nothing more than a couple of paragraphs and a massive list of other articles. There are only six mainspace links to it (two of which are other SW articles). Honestly it either needs some better research or it needs to be completely tossed. --BinaryTed 14:25, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles that need sources

[edit]
Do we need an article for Empress Teta? There are already entries in the respective lists for the person and the planet. Being new to Wikipedia projects, I hope this is the right place to address this. Feel free to move this missive elsewhere on this page or to the discussion page if necessary. -- wacko2 02:57, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
This is fine; when a discussion gets big, we can move it to the discussion page. Oh, and make sure to leave massive comments for everything here :) Deckiller 03:00, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ah. Didn't know that entry existed. Ok, it still needs expansion. --maru (talk) contribs 03:14, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Is this article truly necessary its a list for lists... Tutmosis 03:33, 26 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Depends on whether someone has corrected all the articles which link to it to now point to the correct sublist. Removing it without checking that could result in red links. I'll take a look later today and see what needs to be done for it. --BinaryTed 17:09, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Just checked what links to that list... there's a huge number of articles and redirects pointing to it. I'll try to take care of as much of it as possible, but that article definitely shouldn't be deleted (or even changed to a redirect) yet. --BinaryTed 17:26, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK, so apparently Wookiepedia actually does have something on this at [1]. If anyone is familiar with the works cited, please update our stub with something more solid. --21:41, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

Articles to be moved

[edit]

Articles that need extensive work

[edit]

Fancruft, copyvios, copyedits, point of view, and so on.

I added the book cover atleast. Dark jedi requiem 19:06, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it'll need a picture, plot summary, and external links. Deckiller 14:43, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think it could best be merged with another article. – Mipadi 15:59, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Probably either List of minor Star Wars characters or List of Star Wars Galactic Alliance characters when that's created. --BinaryTed 17:16, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, it's looking better, although it was pretty bad when I split it. I'll give you a hand. Deckiller 20:35, 23 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agreed... the wording on this one seems very fishy. I think there's value in keeping the article but I think it needs a substantial rewrite. --BinaryTed 17:56, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I checked the article, and the info seems correct, as far as it goes. Most of it is apparently lifted from Wookieepedia. -- wacko2 04:09, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I never suspected anything in there was necessarily incorrect, just that it seemed written more by somebody "official". If it's lifted from Wookieepedia, then let's cite the source and maybe do a little rewriting. --BinaryTed 14:26, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Ok, added Star Wars: Episode I Racer as a source. -- wacko2 23:39, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I played with it and added boxes and so forth, I did notice that most is word for word with wookiepedia... Dark jedi requiem 03:08, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Also made links on words.Dark jedi requiem 05:56, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Why does it have a blank page, no deletion log and a history with a stub article? Dark jedi requiem 04:14, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Must have been a technology mistake. I fixed it by trying to revert it though. Jedi6 05:31, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Weird Dark jedi requiem 06:45, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  • Yuuzhan Vong invasion. The author of this page acknowledges they haven't read any of the book. While I haven't read any of them either (I'm more Clone Wars than New Republic), it's obvious this page needs a huge amount of work, very likely a full rewrite. Honestly I think this could be a candidate for the next collaboration of the week. --BinaryTed 14:55, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles that could be enhanced

[edit]

For peer review, good article, or featured article status.

I think the quotation is fine. --maru (talk) contribs 03:19, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Would you consider the (over) abundance of pictures on the lightsaber page to be a little much? And if so what does the idea of deleting one of the pictures with mace windu's lightsaber in it and deleting one of the pictures of dooku's light saber? (since they both have two?) Dark jedi requiem 06:45, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I think we could easily lose that (ginormous) list of characters and their lightsaber colors, yikes. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 06:59, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
HEY! I played with it to try and clean it up. I didn't want to waste the good chart so i made a page for it. Any comments? Dark jedi requiem 07:34, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
As well as the exhaustive list of every single energy blade ever. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:36, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There is no longer a big list of EVERY single lightsaber-esque weapon. Does this work? Dark jedi requiem 07:54, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Copying some comments from that talk page:
Are two pics of Anakin and Obi-Wan holding blue lightsabers (one posed, one combat) necessary? I would prefer to see only one or the other (probably the "action shot") in the article. We could probably also stand to remove one other picture from the "colors" section... maybe Plo Koon (he's a relatively minor character compared to the others depicted.) And would it be possible to have one solid closeup of a hilt for the "construction details" section? I think it would be beneficial to have at least one good picture showing as many of these parts as possible.--BinaryTed 14:47, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Tried to fix the page according to picture comments. I don't know how to show pictures of the hilt as all the older pictures that showed any construction details as the pictures formerly used were not fair use. Take a look. Dark jedi requiem 04:56, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Thumbs up from me. I generally prefer having a dynamic picture to a "posed" one if they convey the same info (which I believe was the case). Looks like there's a potential copyright issue with the Mace Windu pic though. --BinaryTed 22:04, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Fixed the possible copyright problems. Anything else need to be done? Dark jedi requiem 23:35, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I've done all I care to on the character lists now (I think I've taken care of the bulk of the merging that I can spot) and feel comfortable handing that over to anyone who wants to take it on. I think I might make this article my new "project"... it's ridiculously big. --BinaryTed 17:36, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have started a draft at User:BinaryTed/Star Destroyer. Please do not edit that page directly, leave comments on the talk page. I have some things I may want to do to that article that could be pretty controversial (more on that later). --BinaryTed 18:35, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Whoever that takes on this mammoth task... You will want to rearrange it. Do it in chronological order, not the current topical order. For love's sake, make use of the Wookieepedia article and the Starwars.com blog entry- they have an enourmous amount of data this article does not. The blog is especially valuable as it is from the horse's mouth and it cites its sources, which you should definitely do. You will probably want to kill the red links like the Tarkin battlestation and Eriadu. --maru (talk) contribs 03:57, 18 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Changed the layout of the page to look more clear and less scattered. Any thing else? Dark jedi requiem 06:08, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Could this possible be trimmed and merged into Clone troopers? --BinaryTed 17:33, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Here some articles that have decent information but no sections. Also some of this articles need expansion or further editing. Cross out any after they have been enhanced or cross them out if you think they dont belong in the list... Tutmosis 22:05, 21 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles that could be split

[edit]
Current articles/lists Split into Comments
Star Destroyer Super Star Destroyer (currently redirects to Star Destroyer) Contrast our article's layout to that of the entry on Wookieepedia which is an amazingly short article which links to an individual article for each class. While I don't think we want that many splits, I definitely think it could use two or three considering the size, and this seems like a natural place to start. I have completed a copyedit of the proposed split at User:BinaryTed/Super Star Destroyer. The only substantive changes are a slightly rewritten introduction (necessitated by it being a separate article) and removing some of the attempts to compare the ships to real-world naval vessels (which IMO is unnecessary speculation). --BinaryTed 16:23, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have "committed" changes to both articles, including the split. There is still much to be done to Star Destroyer, IMO. I think the "Imperator" vs. "Imperial" debate can be trimmed considerably, for starters. --BinaryTed 18:25, 7 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Articles that could be merged

[edit]
Current articles Merge into Comments
Stubs Respective lists I think we need to prioritize. First, I think we get minor stubs into lists, and create necessarily lists, and so on. Then we can focus on improving the prose and sorting out what's good for the index and what's not. Deckiller 22:11, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Another list?
This has been a debate. The Clone Wars page in general has been in debate. Personally, I think a list of all these clone wars battle descriptions would be great. But this needs some discussion, that's for sure. Deckiller 22:46, 11 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I'm for merging them. But yeah, we should wait to hear what others say. —Mirlen 02:03, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I am currently hard at work merging the data from the individual Clone Wars articles into the main Clone Wars article. You can see my most current edit here. – Mipadi 12:27, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Battle of the Murgo Choke The Unseen Queen Its basically just a summary of the Unseen Queen. Jedi6 08:58, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Battle of Commenor
Star by Star
Yuuzhan Vong invasion
The Star by Star could easily hold this information in its small article. Also I'm not sure what media the Battle of Kessel came from and I'm not even sure the Battle of Commenor is real. Jedi6 09:20, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agree, a lot of these battles can easily be merged into a plot summary of their respective story. Deckiller 16:55, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have added nomination to each each of those pages, please go and vote. also added proper tags to all pages. Tutmosis 19:28, 25 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

List of Star Wars Old Republic characters Merges requested by BinaryTed. I'm gonna take a look at them in a second. Deckiller 20:13, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Merged the ones striked. However, the ones not strikes are sith/dark jedi, and probably belong in lists of sith and dark jedi. Deckiller 21:00, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Agree on all except Kar Vastor. He definitely wasn't a Sith, and even though he wasn't a very nice guy, he never received Jedi training and IMO can't be considered a Dark Jedi. I've read Shatterpoint, so I'm not just going on what's in the article on this one either. :) --BinaryTed 21:45, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Okay, I withdraw my objection on that one. Deckiller 21:47, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I'm working on List of Star Wars planets and all subpages within. -- wacko2 05:08, 12 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have just completed major reorganization on the four above lists. Many characters were moved from the "master" minor character list to the Old Republic list, and all the handmaidens are consolidated into an article. Please move any characters I may have missed to their appropriate articles, especially for the KOTOR games. --BinaryTed 19:54, 24 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Templates

Ocay; I recommend using the same colors (light blue and all) as the rest of the SW templates to maintain consistency. Deckiller 01:23, 13 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have now merged the films and EU template so that we can have one template for all purposes. Those merged have been redirected to Template:Star Wars. The Wookieepedian 08:44, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I have to note that there are a lot more Star Wars book series (as well as individual books) than those listed in the template. Perhaps just list the major series and create an "Other books" link to List of Star Wars books? Otherwise, the template looks fine to me. -- wacko2 16:20, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There is already a link to the list of star wars books. I don't like the newest reformat though. The text is too small the centering of the text makes them blend together. Jedi6 17:26, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Mmm yes, the text is a bit small... -- wacko2 22:26, 16 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Problem editors

[edit]
We should have User:Copperchair- suspended for branking the ban --Yodaiamtoo 01:05, 15 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]
We need to keep an eye on him for certain. He's apparently up to four blocks since the ban (a 5th equals a one year ban) and just yesterday edited Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi. Even though the edit is technically a violation of his ban on editing anything re: Star Wars, it appears to be a good faith edit so I haven't reported it yet. (If someone else wants to, I'm certainly not going to talk them out of it though). --BinaryTed 16:15, 1 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like marudubshinki blocked him for that edit for 24 hours. That makes 4 since the ban (I miscounted in previous post). The block is no longer active, so I'm keeping an eye on him... --BinaryTed 15:21, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
It appears he has edited Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi AGAIN after the previous block. Clearly he's not interested in respecting the ban. I've already reported it on Admin Noticeboard. --BinaryTed 18:38, 2 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Taxman blocked this user for 1 week on March 4 for violating the ban. --BinaryTed 15:41, 6 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Looks like maru already gave him a 3 hour block by the time you posted. Apparently he got the message as he hasn't continued vandalizing, so maybe he won't be a problem. We definitely need to keep an eye on him though... thankfully his grammar and spelling are terrible (especially with regards to proper nouns in Star Wars) so it shouldn't be too difficult to spot his handiwork. --BinaryTed 20:41, 8 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, and now maru has put a 48 hour block on him - he kept vandalizing stuff right after the last one. -Xol 02:45, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Copperchair is banned for 1 year. Jedi6-(need help?) 22:28, 12 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Palpatine and Darth Sidious

[edit]

Currently there is a soft redirect in place from Darth Sidious to Palpatine, presumably to avoid "spoiling" the true identity of the Sith lord.

However, there are articles not directly related to either "identity" (don't have any examples readily available, but I'm sure I've seen them) that give away this plot point.

I guess I have two questions: 1)Do we need to evaluate the use of these two names in articles to ensure we're not saying "Palpatine" when we should be saying "Darth Sidious", and 2)Is there actually any value in having the soft redirect as opposed to a conventional, automatic one?

--BinaryTed 15:41, 28 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think we should keep the soft redirect for spoiler purposes, and make sure we use naming correctly. Deckiller 19:18, 4 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Seismic tank: Ground or air?

[edit]

List of Star Wars ground vehicles and List of Star Wars air vehicles both have entries for the Seismic Tank seen in the Clone Wars microseries. Obviously we need to settle on one or the other, but I'm a bit torn as to which. While the tank is never shown as being very far off the ground (similar to a landspeeder) can we accurately call it a ground vehicle? --BinaryTed 21:41, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Put it where ever Jabba's barge is located. They are kinda of similar. Jedi6-(need help?) 23:59, 9 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Considering that list has other low alevation flying vehicles its fair to call it a land vehicle. Air vehicles are primarly vehicles that are designed to be used at high altitudes by my definition. Tutmosis 03:53, 10 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]
