COTW
I would like to suggest that the Star Wars Collaboration of the week be renamed to the Star Wars Collaboration of the Month. This is what is being done in other WikiProjects (to give more time working on articles, and/or because membership may be less than active).

Name changes:


 * WikiProject Star Wars/Collaboration of the week to WikiProject Star Wars/Collaboration of the month


 * Category:Star Wars Collaboration of the week to WikiProject Star Wars/Collaboration of the month/Templates


 * Template:Current-SWCOTW to WikiProject Star Wars/Collaboration of the month/Templates/Current
 * Template:SWCOTWvoter to WikiProject Star Wars/Collaboration of the month/Templates/Contributor
 * Template:SWcandidate to WikiProject Star Wars/Collaboration of the month/Templates/Candidate
 * Template:StarWarsCOTW to WikiProject Star Wars/Collaboration of the month/Templates/Notice
 * Template:User SWCOTW to WikiProject Star Wars/Collaboration of the month/Userbox

(If I missed any, feel free to add them.)

Once we have consensus here, we can list the category for cfr (possibly speedy), and someone can ask to have a bot to do the page moves, and redirect fixes. - jc37 14:12, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * This has been here for almost a year. I'll give a little more time before I just do it. - jc37 07:26, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Not that anyone cares by this time, but I've performed the moves. (The links above are updated to the targets.) The Star Wars COTM is also marked historical until such time as someone wishes to reactivate the process, though, since it appears that WP:COTM, and its successor WP:AID, are both inactive/historical, I doubt we'll see this process reactivated. - jc37 23:10, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Articles facing severe editing
The articles, The Force (Star Wars) and Dark side (Star Wars) are going to be edited after a week af having placed requests for citations be added to statements in the article. These articles have very little in the way of citation. WP requires secondary sources of information, considering a requirement for inclusion. The week of waiting expires on 9/16. I would direct the attention of anyone wishing that these article remain without any removed ext venture forth and provide solid citation in keeping with WP policies. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  04:37, 14 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, not only secondary, but tertiary sources are preferable. Evidence of others' original research which is verifiable. But I know what you mean, and yeah, those articles (I'm sorry to say) do suck right now. They need lots of improvement. --linca linca 12:50, 24 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't misunderstand me. Linca - the writing there is particularly well-written (from a writer's pov) and well-thought out (kind of a refreshing thing to see, actually); it just suffers from no real connective citation that could quickly launch it to GA status, I kinda felt bad kicking out all the uncited stuff and speculation. If some folk wnet back through some of those articles and properly cited them, they could earn the right to be GA. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  04:17, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Lightsaber
I know I am not part of this WikiProject, but I thought it wouldn't hurt anyone if I simply pointed out that the lightsaber article could be greatly improved.  Zouavman   Le   Zouave   20:46, 14 September 2007 (UTC)

Removed PROD from Cularian System
Greetings! I wanted to let your project know I found a PROD for the article on the Cularian System on the grounds of real-world notability. I removed it because under that justification, the entire Category:Star_Wars_regions_of_space is not notable. There are several star systems in that category, along with a rather large article on Star Wars galaxy (which is listed as part of your project). I suggested in the PROD removal justification that the separate galaxy articles be reviewed, and possibly merged into the overview galaxy article, but I'm definitely not the person to take that on, as I don't even own episodes 1-3 :-) Thanks guys. DLPanther 13:53, 15 September 2007 (UTC)

Article proposal
It strikes me as odd that there's no chronology of tutorship in the jedi arts. This seems like something that would be quite a task to construct, but very applicable to the project nonetheless. The toughest part wouldn't be the actual construction of the chronology but referencing it. Tough, but not impossible.

I'd propose laying it out (to begin) something like this:

Except of course, you know, accurate? The colours could indicate a person's allegiance (Jedi, Sith, Dark Jedi, NJO or mixed). It can also be drawn up to indicate whether or not a person is EU or standard, all based on the colors. I've pretty muchy just chucked in dark red for Siths, blue for contentious and green for Jedi. What do you guys think? This is obviously a bit hogde-podge and could be heaps better, but it's a start. --linca linca 12:40, 24 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Cool idea! The flow chart looks good, although wouldn't Palpatine also be Vader's tutor?  Anyway, it has my support!  :)  Sincerely, -- Le Grand Roi des Citrouilles  Tally-ho! 15:32, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

October - December 2007 Roll call
We haven't had one in a long while. Time to find out who's actually active. (And to purge the active members list once again.) - jc37 07:32, 7 October 2007 (UTC)


 * 1) I'm here, though doing more "behind the scenes" work, than article editing these days. - jc37 07:32, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) I am still here, watching the articles for vandalism and a possible renomination of ROTJ. Greg Jones II 17:32, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) Yeah, I'm here, just, you know... wandering about. Occasionally updating stuff. It's a pretty daunting tast, to be honest. There's so much stuff missing and most of what's here is written so terribly in-universe, it's hard to undo that. But yeah. Present. -- linca linca  04:10, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, just so you know, Lincalinca, can you fix the number in your comment? You accidentally forgot to put a # (number sign) in your comment. That would be much appreciated Greg Jones II 09:23, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * What? Yes I did? It's right there? I'm numerised as #3...? I'm sure I did that. Did somebody else do that? I'm sure it was me. -- linca linca  12:14, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Present. Returning to work on the vehicles articles, with the occasional odd AfD to get people riled up. --EEMeltonIV 10:02, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Here, sorta - editing out all the cruft and uncited, unsourced info - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  19:40, 28 October 2007 (UTC)
 * 3) I'm here, I'm just not all that active because of school. Grey Maiden  talk  18:17, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Battle of Yavin
Battle of Yavin could use some serious work. In its current state, it doesn't really abide by WP:WAF. A few vocal editors who claim the article doesn't meet WP:FICT have persisted in turning it into a redirect for Star Wars: A New Hope. I don't think that's the course we should take; but we might consider merging Battle of Yavin, Battle of Hoth, and Battle of Endor into Galactic Civil War. Ichormosquito 11:10, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, the galactic civil war started way BBY, it's just that at BY, it became a "serious" threat to the empire (hence Seth Mcfarland's parody in robot chicken saying it was "blown up by a bunch of F#$*&^*&% teenagers"). I'd recommend calling it "Battles in the Star Wars film saga" and encompassing the Naboo vs Trade Federation battle, Geonosis clone siege/insurrection and the taking over of the Invisible Hand as notable battles within the film saga, so as to cover all seiges within the six films, new and old. -- linca linca  12:19, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh and all of the articles need a serious re-write anyway because they're very heavily in universe anyway. -- linca linca  12:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Sounds like a good idea. Ichormosquito 13:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Wow, Inca - stop reading my thoughts, you debbil (grn). I was going to say many of the things alrready stated here. 'Galactic Civil War' is a pretty broad term, which could apply to any number of galactic civil wars in scifi, and not just Star Wars. This doesn't appear to be a problem right now, but I can foresee it becoming so; perhaps adjusting the article title to reflect the nature of the civil war might sidestep these potential issues. I would propose Galactic Civil War (Star Wars) be the new name.
 * As well, I don't think merging these articles right now is the best course of action for any of them. Maybe later, but at this time, all three articles are a bit on the bvloated side and suffer from terribly in-universe pov - so much so that in some of them, I feel as if I have misnavigated and ended up Wookipedia instead. The Sith, Dark Side and Force articles suffered fromt hat as well, and I had to trim away all that which was uncited or too in-universe to remain. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  21:31, 11 October 2007 (UTC)


 * What if we renamed it "Death Star trench run"? As a notable movie scene, I think it passes muster.  We could include production notes; its impact on the special effects industry; and excerpts from scholarly criticism, while still retaining a small section devoted to plot summary. Ichormosquito 02:48, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Now we're talking productively and out of the box! -- linca linca  08:19, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Help with Star Wars Galaxies
Hi. is anyone watching the Star Wars Galaxies article? there have been some major edits recently, and then reverts of those edits, but i can't tell which are vandalism, and which are legitimate. Appreciate any help. Thanks. --Steve, Sm8900 14:59, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Star Wars video game task force proposal
This is an idea I've been mulling over for some time, but only decided to propose now. Though it is more of a WikiProject Video Games task force, I thought it made sense to mention it here. I noticed it says on the main page of this WikiProject that it's effectively a collaboration of numerous projects, but I thought one task force specifically focusing on one aspect of Star Wars (and one which doesn't actually have so many high-quality articles) would be pretty useful. It's fairly self-explanatory, so check out the proposal. I'd be interested to hear what you think. Una LagunaTalk 18:52, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Recently, I've noted some references being added to a few articles from here. An example of these references would be something like this. There is no provenance to this info, and I am concerned about how reliable it is. Thoughts? - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  05:27, 26 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, it's official information on the official site for the series... I'd say it's reliable enough to be cited, though it sort of depends on how it's being cited. EVula // talk // &#9775;  // 05:35, 26 November 2007 (UTC)

Star Wars comics problems
Star Wars: Republic: there seems to be an article for just about EVERY issue and/or storyline of the series. Category:Star Wars comics also seems to hold a bit of this issue clutter. Wikipedia shouldn't be a guide to every issue of a series. I brought this up a while ago here (and mentioned it to the creator of the articles), however not much seems to have been done. RobJ1981 (talk) 21:04, 11 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm resurrecting this question -- I've flipped through most of the Republic comics and their mostly just a plot blurb and list of characters. Can anyone articulate a reason not to have them redirect to the main Star Wars: Republic entry? Perhaps transplant the plot summary blurbs into a list on that page? --EEMIV (talk) 19:07, 30 January 2008 (UTC)

Lack of referencing
After browsing through half a dozen articles in the wikipedia Star Wars project, I have to say that, whilst fairly readable and well written, every single one of them was crying out for a start --> tag! Proper referencing needs doing on these things, otherwise they come across like a big wodge of fan fiction.--feline1 (talk) 17:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Over the past month, I've taken steps towards adding citations and footnotes to Princess Leia's article. However, almost all of these have been only for the two sections of the article I created . The whole article (along with many other Star Wars characters like Luke Skywalker and Han Solo) is unsourced, I notice. But I can only do so much, especially considering I don't know where a lot of the statements in Leia's article specifically come from. I'm currently researching the never-ending "Han shot first" debate, and will probably be of more help to Han Solo's Wikipedia page as soon as I can get info sorted out. Anyone else mind taking a crack at it?  —  Cinemaniac (talk) 20:51, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion on article organization
I have a strong suggestion about the organization of the primary articles about Star Wars - it can be found at Talk:Star Wars, but basically I'm suggesting that since
 * 1) Star Wars original trilogy and Star Wars prequel trilogy are essentially empty and very weak articles with little more than synopses and lists
 * 2) Star Wars purports to be an article about the franchise itself

that the trilogy articles should be merged into something like Star Wars films, and the mass of information about the films that can be salvaged from Star Wars (ie: is sourced and written properly) be moved there, so that the Star Wars article can truely be written as being about the franchise, and not all about the movies with an "oh yeah, there were also books and tv movies" tacked on at the end. TheHYPO (talk) 13:36, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

Project page problems
Cheers TheHYPO (talk) 07:23, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) In actually displaying the templates in the template section, the Collab of the week templates all mis-appear at the bottom of the project page instead of where they should be.
 * 2) What is the point of the lightsaber image on the right column? Just seems to serve to waste a lot of space on the page

Princess Leia Organa peer review
I've listed this article for peer review because it right now seems oddly cluttered and, despite my adding of a lot of references, it lacks reliable source citations. Although I've already requested another peer review for another article, as long as it helps the articles get better, I've got the time. Any helpful comments are appreciated, as this should help me in expanding other Star Wars-centric articles (particularly bios like that of Luke Skywalker and Han Solo, also in dire need of certain expansion). Thanks. — Cinemaniac (talk •  contribs) 03:23, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Army of the Republic
I through a bunch of tags on it, so I thought I'd bring it up. The article has no sources to verify it's claims what-so-ever, it has no third party sources to defend it's notability, it rambles, and looks like it's pretty much all original research. I'd recommend a complete rewrite, or maybe just transwiki to wookieepedia and redirect it to some other article here? Well, I'll let the experts sort it out, just throught I should bring it up. --Falcorian (talk) 08:12, 10 January 2008 (UTC)

Star Wars comics images
Hello all. I just wanted to give you a heads-up. Several Star Wars comics images are up for deletion because they don't have fair use rationales. (I would imagine some screenshots have been tagged as well.) In case the Comics project can't get to them all in time, you may want to take a look through User:Hiding/no-rationale and add rationales if you think it appropriate. (The Star Wars images mostly begin with "sw".) Thanks! --GentlemanGhost (talk) 01:29, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Sith edits

Star Wars: Empire
I have added Star Wars: Empire issue pages to be merged into the main pages because the Star Wars: Empire page has nothing but the list of issues, and the issue pages themselves are stubs, and I think it would be better if they are merged. Also the issue pages on Star Wars: Republic are up for deletion because they are not independently notable, violates WP:NOT as an extended plot description with no real-world content or context. Just thought to let you know. Gman124 (talk) 17:42, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

There should be a general article on Star Wars weapons
Instead of having "lists of weapons", there should be a general article on Star Wars weapons, citing examples in a typical sentence/paragraph format. Perhaps sections on each type of weapon would be a good idea, but this would definitely beat having multiple borderline-notable lists. &mdash; Deckiller 05:05, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Jawas redirects to List of Star Wars races (F-J), but they're not on there. Have they fallen through the cracks? Been forgotten? Hopefully this will bring the Jawas some justice. --M PD T / C 21:05, 29 February 2008 (UTC)

Kessel/Kassel/Castle
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Star_Wars_planets_(K-L)#Kessel claims that "Kassel" is also the German word for "guarded area". Being a German native speaker, I have to point out that this is simply not true. I'm not sure how to edit the article because the etymological proximity to English "castle" is there, and I know that Dutch "Kasteel" is also close by, but I can't think of a German word that sounds anything like Kassel and has this meaning. --Daniel Klein (talk) 12:14, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

StarWarsProject: Articles of unclear notability
Hello,

there are currently 23 articles in the scope of this project which are tagged with notability concerns. I have listed them here. (Note: this listing is based on a database snapshot of 2008-03-12 and may be slightly outdated.)

I would encourage members of this project to have a look at these articles, and see whether independent sources can be added, whether the articles can be merged into an article of larger scope, or possibly be deleted. Any help in cleaning up this backlog is appreciated. For further information, see WikiProject Notability.

If you have any questions, please leave a message on the Notability project page or on my personal talk page. (I'm not watching this page however.) Thanks! --B. Wolterding (talk) 16:07, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

What's up with the infobox colors?

Lightsaber combat - a grand crufty mess
I would like to get some eyes on the Lightsaber combat article. I am encountering a lot of info being added with very little in the way of proper or even reliable sourcing. The article needs some re-writing, but by folk who know not to add a lot of cruft. Most of the referencing seems to be in the form of speculative end-notes.

Why is it that all the Star Wars comic pages are all stubs like, Rebellion. Why is it that this and many other Star Wars comic pages link to story arcs that only contain plot or are just stubs? would it not be better if all the arcs were merged together then at least there would be one good page. and most of the Star Wars comic articles violate WP:FICT and WP:N.

AFD nomination of Anakin Skywalker

Star Wars sequel trilogy

I would appreciate it if someone familiar with the dos and don'ts of Project Star Wars to take a peek at, as I'm concerned that many of the articles s/he is creating are too minor of importance for inclusion in Wikipedia.

Made-up dating
One thing I've noticed is that a lot of the star wars articles make a lot of reference to the made-up dating system of ABY with no explanation to the causal reader of what this actually means. suggestions? --Allemandtando (talk) 18:32, 25 June 2008 (UTC)

Jedi Council Article
I wish to bring to your attention that the Jedi Council article has been at the receiving end of a series of edits that have essentially massacred it. Much of the in-depth content and detail has been lost, and the article is now merely a shell. In order to prevent an inevitable edit war, I have refrained from reverting these edits - but the article is in dire need of defence. As far as I know, the user making the edits isn't a member of the project. Would somebody have a look and take appropriate action? Thanks,  The Moridian   08:43, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * No I'm not a member of this project and don't plan to be - I think those special interest groups tend to work against the core interests of the project. If people in this project aren't going to take care of clean-up work to bring those articles in line with our guidelines and policies then don't be surprised if others take care of the job. Articles about fictional items, places and people are not immune to normal policy and guidelines. this is an example of a fictional character written about the correct way. Notice how the description of fictional characters, places and devices are done as objects of the narrative not like they are real. Most of the Star Wars articles fail to hit the right tone, have the right level of depth or present anything resembling an encyclopedia article. I don't say that to be harsh, I say that because it is true.


 * Let's not beat around the bush about this - writing in an in-universe fashion is simply wrong and should be replaced with prose describe the item, character or place from a real world viewpoint. Some of the articles I cleaned up (and I'm not alone in performing this clean-up lightsabre combat has been virtually re-written to get rid of it's in-universe perceptive.) were absolutely amazing in their level of detail to in-universe concerns. One had lengthy passages about the fictional contractual arrangements for the manufacture of arms. --Allemandtando (talk) 10:47, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I second Allemandtando's removal of uncited in-universe plot summary and trivia. --EEMIV (talk) 19:13, 26 June 2008 (UTC)
 * And I rather 'third' it. While I disagree a bit that wikiprojects tend to work against the core interests of the Project (having people who know about a subject in a specific place has its definite advantages), there is a tendency for some of the projects to slip into a 'us-versus-everyone-else' mentality. I am not saying it occurs here - or at least, not nearly as much as some of the rabid zealot/fans in other projects - but I think its prudent to remain on guard about forgetting the point of the Project. We are here to share info with the rest of the world, not just fans. That means we have to write from a real-world point of view, so that the material is accessible to even the most casual of users. It allows them to test the waters of their interest; if they like the subject, they will plunge headlong in.
 * To carry the swimming metaphor a bit further, adding a lot of pointless detail, or to assume/speculate about facts not cited overwhelms the reader, and they end up drowning in detail. I cannot speak for everyone else, but when I almost drown, I tend to avoid the area that nearly did for me.
 * A way to help test your (speaking to the various members of this project, fan and non-fan alike) edits is to have someone who has precisely no interest in the subject matter read an article, and get their detailed feedback on what they get, and what they don't. If there are parts they don't understand, you need to improve that bit, using the parts they do as a guidebook on how to improve it. Additionally, folk from outside the project should not be condemned but praised for adding a breath of fresh air to the discussions. Granted, there are folk who come in like stormtroopers and put entire articles to the torch as well as anti-zealots (I think I am part of the latter, as fancruft and "canonicity" has zero eight with me). It is something of a natural response to the point of view presented in a lot of these wikiprojects - 'well, if you don't know why Lando was in Cloud City, why the frak are you here?' - I know I tend to see a bit o' red when some chucklehead deals me a response like that. Of course, that just perpetuates the lack of AGF that is required to lubricate the gears of friendly editing, and leads to the zany adventures we call edits wars.
 * Maybe we can all ease out of our corners and edit as equals. Us versus Them isn't going to work. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  19:58, 26 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Let me clarify my remarks about projects - the first is that a lot of projects slip into the mindset that they have some special authority over articles and that any major changes must be proposed and pass by them first. Also with a couple of projects (*not* this one), I've seen the very dangerous mindset that the decisions they make somehow bypass or are more important than core policies and procedures. The second issue I have is one of culture - wikiprojects are self-selecting by their nature and I think that the problem with discussion between interested fans is that they tend to consider what is more interesting to them as fans rather than our duty to the core drive of the project - to create a general readers encyclopaedia. This tends to cause conflict between members of the project and generalists like myself. I'm not saying that all wikiprojects follow into this trap but it's very hard to avoid under a long period of time. --Allemandtando (talk) 20:06, 26 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh and check out Jabba the hutt --Allemandtando (talk) 13:50, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't wish to turn this into an argument, but I feel we have 2 different extremes here. While some of the articles may have far too much detail to be plausible (or informative to non-Star Wars fans), your act of 'cleanup' has gone for the other extreme; much of the in-depth content in the articles has been massacred.  In summary, while I can see that your removal of the heavy in-universe content makes the articles more approachable for, using your words, 'someone who has precisely no interest in the subject... it takes away that extra content that fans don't know, leaving the articles nothing but empty shells for the fans who already know the basic content.  So, why your edits are all very nice for most users, they really don't do anything for the fans (who make up a majority of the wikiproject members).  If the articles need cleanup... fine - but consider the impact of your edits on all users, not just non-fans such as yourselves.   The Moridian   08:44, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * We are not writing for fans, we should never write for fans. That's why I'm wary about wikiprojects because a group of fans offer lacks the proper perspective. --Allemandtando (talk) 09:32, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Whoa! These articles are about Star Wars - do you not think that the major readers/ editors will be fans or users of knowledge of Star Wars?!  So, you're just going to write for non-fans and ignore the fans?  Surely you can see the dire faults with that idea?   The Moridian   09:36, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes we - because we are a general readers encyclopaedia, it's NOT a encyclopaedia for fans of X, Y or Z. Why do you think we have clean-up tags that say things like "this article reads like a fan page"? Read the MOS - Many fan wikis and fan websites (see below) take this approach, but it should not be used for Wikipedia articles. An in-universe perspective is inaccurate and misleading, gives undue weight to unimportant information and invites unverifiable original research. Most importantly, in-universe perspective defies community consensus as to what we do not want Wikipedia to be or become. Writing in-universe is explicitly wrong. --Allemandtando (talk) 12:48, 30 June 2008 (UTC)


 * No, sorry, we aren't a "general readers encyclopaedia". Wikipedia is (from the beginning) a place where we can provide summaries of all subjects of interest and also provide exhaustive detail on those subjects, conveniently linked, categorized, and searchable for readers who want more detail because we are an encyclopedia incorporating elements of general encyclopedias, specialized encyclopedias, and almanacs.. Readers who want more detail aren't general readers and specialized encyclopedias, and almanacs aren't for general readers, but for "fan" of these topics (from Arts, to Medicine, to Fiction).--213.140.15.164 (talk) 03:02, 5 July 2008 (UTC)

Time for some nuclear strikes
Is it worth cleaning up articles like List of minor Star Wars characters? Are we better served just nuking the articles? --Allemandtando (talk) 15:09, 27 June 2008 (UTC)


 * I haven't looked at WP:LIST in a while, but my observation has been that lists tend to have a lower bar for establishing the topics' notability. My inclination for lists like this is to substantially trim, similar to (shameless plug) List of Star Wars starfighters, List of Star Wars air, aquatic, and ground vehicles, List of Star Wars spacecraft. They could probably stand to have some expansion -- especially in terms of marketing/merchandise, since many of these have been turned into toys, Lego sets, etc. --EEMIV (talk) 15:45, 27 June 2008 (UTC)

Changes to the WP:1.0 assessment scheme
As you may have heard, we at the Wikipedia 1.0 Editorial Team recently made some changes to the assessment scale, including the addition of a new level. The new description is available at WP:ASSESS.
 * The new C-Class represents articles that are beyond the basic Start-Class, but which need additional references or cleanup to meet the standards for B-Class.
 * The criteria for B-Class have been tightened up with the addition of a rubric, and are now more in line with the stricter standards already used at some projects.
 * A-Class article reviews will now need more than one person, as described here.

Each WikiProject should already have a new C-Class category at Category:C-Class_articles. If your project elects not to use the new level, you can simply delete your WikiProject's C-Class category and clarify any amendments on your project's assessment/discussion pages. The bot is already finding and listing C-Class articles.

Please leave a message with us if you have any queries regarding the introduction of the revised scheme. This scheme should allow the team to start producing offline selections for your project and the wider community within the next year. Thanks for using the Wikipedia 1.0 scheme!

It isn't needed
As you probably all know, there is a wookieepedia (And no that isn't a mispelling, they just had to change the domain name) Wikipedia does not need to make a starwars project when there is already a wiki that specializes in it, which is also probably more accurate.

WikiProject Media franchises
Dear WikiProject Star Wars participants...WikiProject Media franchises needs some help from other projects which are similar. Media franchises' scope deals primarily with the coordination of articles within the hundreds if not thousands of media franchises which exist. Sometimes a franchise might just need color coordination of the various templates used; it could mean creating an article for the franchise as a jump off point for the children of it; or the creation of a new templating system for media franchise articles. The project primarily focuses on multimedia franchises. It would be great if some of this project's participants would come over and help the project get back on solid footing. Also, if you know of similar projects which have not received this, let know. Please come and take a look at the project and see if you wish to lend a hand. You can sign up here if you wish.

Great article
Anyone with an interest in working on Star Wars Expanded Universe or any other article that delves into the EU and its maintenance should check out the Sept. 08 issue of Wired, which has several pages with Leland Chee, Lucasfilm's internal-consistency guru. There are several references to conflicts, the nature and degrees of "canon," etc. --EEMIV (talk) 02:38, 16 August 2008 (UTC)


 * The code to cite it, if it saves you some time, is




 * MTFBWY. --EEMIV (talk) 03:23, 16 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Just so long as no one starts applying canon to Wikipedia. Canon and four quarters will get you $1 on Wikipedia, meaning canon has precisely no value here. If it is reliably and verifiably sourced, it has the same value as something considered canon, for the most part. - Arcayne   (cast a spell)  03:33, 16 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, completely agreed. My general notion is that a "canon criterion" for inclusion here is non-npov. The idea that the meaning of canon varies between people -- i.e. is non-npov -- comes across in the Wired article. I wasn't suggesting this article/canon be a litmus for inclusion; rather, that it might be useful for improving the ORish/speculative content at, for example, Star Wars Expanded Universe and Star Wars canon. --EEMIV (talk) 03:41, 16 August 2008 (UTC)

0pinion about "fancruft"
I see that many pages related to Starwars have been tagged with a template which reads "out of universe", "needs more citations", etc. Most of this material doesn't have any sources which can be found using the Internet, for example all the stuff that it is written on List of Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic characters (which, by the way, gets randomly vandalized by IP addresses which add false information quite frequently) is probably legitimate and true, but it comes from internal game files and dialogs. Most of the information on those kind of pages (also Revan and Jedi Exile) are also more or less mirrors of pages found on another wiki, which is not a reliable source. Talking about "encyclopedic value", those are minor characters from a single game, and some of them remain split from the page, such as HK-47. I think there's some overlapping of information on those pages "List of Ancient Jedi" and such, where some characters are on both lists. In short, this all looks like a pile of crud. I tried to keep those pages in order for some time but my efforts were meet by strong resistance from some users and found myself fighting against an absurd set of rules.

What is the Star Wars project going to do about these problems? Texcarson (talk) 20:09, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Merging and such
As a Star Wars fan, I like to see a lot of articles on Star Wars, and I think a lot of the articles are more notable than they would be without the Star Wars name behind them. However, I think that some should be merged. For example, the Galactic Empire and Galactic Republic are technically the same entity, and are fairly relevant to each other that a merge could be possible. Anyone interested in discussing possible merged? Note that I'm not going to do any "list of characters" moves, as, while they are legitimate, I don't care much for improving lists of characters, but rather, making articles more notable by expanding their coverage. - A Link to the Past (talk) 05:06, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

I encourage you to find sources for creation, reception, merchandise, controversy, etc. You may add to the list if you think an article exists that needs sourcing, but don't remove any without discussion. If you need clarification of why a certain article is on the list, please feel free to ask on the talk page for the list. - A Link to the Past (talk) 06:56, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Wikipedia 0.7 articles have been selected for Star Wars
Wikipedia 0.7 is a collection of English Wikipedia articles due to be released on DVD, and available for free download, later this year. The Version 1.0 Editorial Team has made an automated selection of articles for Version 0.7.

We would like to ask you to review the articles selected from this project. These were chosen from the articles with this project's talk page tag, based on the rated importance and quality. If there are any specific articles that should be removed, please let us know at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.7. You can also nominate additional articles for release, following the procedure at Release Version Nominations.

A list of selected articles with cleanup tags, sorted by project, is available. The list is automatically updated each hour when it is loaded. Please try to fix any urgent problems in the selected articles. A team of copyeditors has agreed to help with copyediting requests, although you should try to fix simple issues on your own if possible.

We would also appreciate your help in identifying the version of each article that you think we should use, to help avoid vandalism or POV issues. These versions can be recorded at this project's subpage of User:SelectionBot/0.7. We are planning to release the selection for the holiday season, so we ask you to select the revisions before October 20. At that time, we will use an automatic process to identify which version of each article to release, if no version has been manually selected. Thanks!

Revamping character lists
Hi. I copy-and-pasted all the lists in Category:Star_Wars_characters to User:EEMIV/StarWarsCharacters and have been working on trimming excessive plot summary and providing external links to Wookieepedia and the Lucasfilm Databank -- it went from 600+K to ~25K. It continues to be a slow-going process, although I made a lot of headway today -- to the point where I think the "A"s are ready to go. I'd appreciate your comments, if any, on the talk page.

My criteria for inclusion, informally/initially, was, "Does this character matter?" For EU characters, I asked whether the character appears multiple times and/or has an impact when they're "not there" -- essentially, are they forgettable? More concretely, I think the scope of this list is/will be a) significant movie characters b) major characters' immediate family/offspring c) the player's characters or antagonists in video games d) antagonists in the novels (and any protagonists, like Corran Horn, who don't fit the first group). I think this offers some hefty material while avoiding problems with WP:NOT and WP:NOT. There is some room for debate on all these, particularly NJO characters like Elegos A'kla, whom I deleted from the list but now am kind of inclined to restore. And I broke some of my own "rules", i.e. axed Corran Horn's family. So, it's imperfect.

So, again, please share your thoughts. If you'd like to take a section and add links -- blurb citations, Wookieepedia links, Databank links -- please feel free to jump in. And, again, send feedback -- and perhaps give a heads up re. anyone obvious oversights, like Jar Jar Binks until a few minutes ago -- on the talk page. Again, please: on on the talk page (not here), so that when it gets moved to mainspace, the discussion goes with it.

I'll post again here when I get (close to) done; if there isn't any dissent from the more-or-less final product within ~a week then, I'll put in a move request to move this to List of Star Wars characters, set the current lists to redirect there, and begin the fun process of fixing double redirects. --EEMIV (talk) 21:16, 7 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I plan to replace the content at List of Star Wars characters with the material currently (more or less; I might add a few more) at User:EEMIV/StarWarsCharacters on Monday-ish. As before: please let me know on the talk page if there are any substantive reasons not to nuke the project's current haphazard and duplicative lists with this amalgamation. --EEMIV (talk) 20:56, 8 October 2008 (UTC)


 * comment perhaps wider notice would have helped get some comments. But even so, silence here as well as common sense does I think indicate consensus for merging the various character lists into one. My own view is that every named character in every notable fiction should have a redirect, and I have seen that frequently defended by others also, so I do not consider there is consensus about eliminating any of them. I remain unsure about consensus for dealing with the articles on the characters. DGG (talk) 23:40, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Given that this is the talk page for the appropriate project, I can't see that there's anywhere more prominent to post it. Furthermore, isn't it vastly preferrable that this work is done before the redirect actions as opposed to having yet another mass AfD of fan-fiction where the stock argument "these should be merged rather than deleted" is wheeled out?

Any thoughts about this category being added to Jedi character articles? It's mostly been added by anon.

But I think I've stopped removing them of late, mostly out of annoyance, and thought I'd check in here to see if the WikiProject* can reach a consensus.

Not only is this article non-notable (no sources are cited except primary or the actors blog), but it is also completely written in-universe and is a blanent rip-off of the wookiepedia article. Request to merge it with List of Star Wars characters. --TorsodogTalk 00:59, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Odd, I know Gavyn's habits, and he always makes sure that minor articles are deleted or never written. It could be someone else using his account. I'm not making judgements though.--Degenerate-Y (talk) 00:05, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Coordinators' working group
Hi! I'd like to draw your attention to the new WikiProject coordinators' working group, an effort to bring both official and unofficial WikiProject coordinators together so that the projects can more easily develop consensus and collaborate. This group has been created after discussion regarding possible changes to the A-Class review system, and that may be one of the first things discussed by interested coordinators.

All designated project coordinators are invited to join this working group. If your project hasn't formally designated any editors as coordinators, but you are someone who regularly deals with coordination tasks in the project, please feel free to join as well. &mdash; Delievered by §hepBot  ( Disable )  on behalf of the WikiProject coordinators' working group at 06:39, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Races/Creatures Overlap
I just wanted to point out that the list articles for Star Wars races and Star Wars creatures overlap considerably, just in case you didn't know. I don't think this is the appropriate place for a merge template, as both lists have reason to exist. But just a friendly poke that if anyone's interested in taking the time, the two lists should be made to be consistent, and to link to one another. (To take one example, do a Wiki search for "Ugnaught". You'll find different information on the "races" list and on the "creatures" list, with no link to the other one.)

Thank you. LordAmeth (talk) 16:06, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars/Participants
was there a reason for deleting WikiProject Star Wars/Participants. The Category:WikiProject Star Wars members has 143 members but the participants list at the bottom only lists like 10. So why were the rest removed? --<font face="Comic Sans MS"> Gman 124 talk 19:34, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

 * That was me. I redesigned the frontpage to use an ordinary table containing the people who signed the last roll call, instead of the template, which was poorly designed, maintained, ugly, and filled with many people that hadn't edited a Star Wars article in months and quite a lot who have since retired from editing completely. I have sent out a lot of invites to join the project again (though I have not yet invited everyone who was in that category; I plan on getting to it someday soon), and anyone who signs the roll call gets put into the table. The template had been deprecated and was unused, so I nominated it for Speedy Deletion under G6. Firestorm  Talk 23:20, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

 * This Deletion discussion has now been Speedy Closed with no prejudice against reopening, due to this being a group AFD with articles that were too different. Also, Timeline of Star Wars Books has been redirected to List of Star Wars Books.
 * In addition, I have moved Dates in Star Wars to Chronology of Star Wars. I am also nominating it to be the first Collaboration of the Month of the revived WikiProject. Please vote on it there. Firestorm  Talk 00:33, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

Just to let you know, I have revived the Collaboration of the Month. Please start nominating and !voting on candidates for next month (May). The next collaboration will be selected by rough consensus and announced on 1 May 2009. Firestorm Talk 00:48, 14 April 2009 (UTC)

New colour scheme?
I think that we might want to update our colour scheme, as the current one was made when Wikipedia's Main Page used colours closer to that. I've picked out a blue and a green, and put one up on the Left Panel and one on the Right Panel. What do you guys think of wither of the two? If you guys like one of them, we can deploy it across the Project and its templates. If not, then you can come up with an alternative or revert my changes back to the old one.

Character cats
Hiya. I'm going through and migrating character entries to Category:Star Wars characters rather than the unnecessarily granular and in-universe era subcats. Thought I'd give a heads up. --EEMIV (talk) 14:11, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * IMO that's a controversial boldness... What might be the project's view on this? -- Jokes Free4Me (talk) 20:03, 15 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't have a problem with it. We do have a lot of cruft that we need to get rid of. Firestorm  Talk 20:41, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * The current categories are overcategorized across entirely in-universe cats, done half by affiliation (e.g. Imperial, Mandolorians) and half by era (e.g. Old Republic, Rebellion). Most cats had just three or four entries, with negligible likelihood for expansion. For comparison, take a look at the simple Category:Harry_Potter_characters. --EEMIV (talk) 20:48, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Anakin and Vader
Seeing as a WikiProject is a better place to ask: why do we have two articles for Anakin/Vader? I would've expected the two to be in the same article, but maybe the Doctor Who precedent (a new article for a significantly new and permanent personality) could apply here... Sceptre (talk) 14:14, 20 April 2009 (UTC)

Clean up needed: Fallout from List of Star Wars characters
In October 2008, many entries were deleted from List of Star Wars characters. Unfortunately, nobody went through Wikipedia to check for (now) broken links to the article. For example, the entry for Ghent was deleted. But the link on the disambig page Ghent (disambiguation) was not removed, and the #REDIRECT page Ghent (Star Wars) was not proposed for deletion.

I have cleaned up the fallout from Ghent. As your Project created this mess, I must suggest that the responsibility is on you to clean up the rest of it. (A good place to start would be Special:WhatLinksHere/List_of_Star_Wars_characters.) HairyWombat (talk) 04:54, 17 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I have added some comments to the talk pages of Darth Plagueis and List of Star Wars characters that may be relevant to your project.

Article alerts
This is a notice to let you know about Article alerts, a fully-automated subscription-based news delivery system designed to notify WikiProjects and Taskforces when articles are entering Articles for deletion, Requests for comment, Peer review and other workflows (full list). The reports are updated on a daily basis, and provide brief summaries of what happened, with relevant links to discussion or results when possible. A certain degree of customization is available; WikiProjects and Taskforces can choose which workflows to include, have individual reports generated for each workflow, have deletion discussion transcluded on the reports, and so on. An example of a customized report can be found here.

If you are already subscribed to Article Alerts, it is now easier to report bugs and request new features. We are also in the process of implementing a "news system", which would let projects know about ongoing discussions on a wikipedia-wide level, and other things of interest. The developers also note that some subscribing WikiProjects and Taskforces use the  parameter, but forget to give a link to their alert page. Your alert page should be located at "Wikipedia:PROJECT-OR-TASKFORCE-HOMEPAGE/Article alerts". Questions and feedback should be left at Wikipedia talk:Article alerts.

Message sent by User:Addbot to all active wiki projects per request, Comments on the message and bot are welcome here.

Complete rewrite of Battle droid necessary
I started cutting the OR, but I realized in between all of the OR and guide content, lies descriptions that may be of some use. So I think there needs to be a rewrite of the article to salvage what I think could be a quality article.

But speaking of which, I'm finding, including in featured articles (Palpatine, Padmé Amidala) that they're not quite up to current standards. I think some work needs to be done to "save" them. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 17:50, 3 October 2009 (UTC)

Okay, seriously, this is a lark.
I've grown pretty tired of the non-response from this project. Every time I leave a notice of the quality of an article, that notice seems to be relevant months from now. So just so you know, I'm going to merge all low-importance Star Wars articles that do not assert notability. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:33, 24 November 2009 (UTC)


 * A better way to do this might be to make one central listing here, where people are more likely to see it. FYI, I approve of your merger of The Wordsmith Communicate 21:40, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry if it sounded a bit rude, but it was just a bit of a bother how little is done. Even Luke Skywalker has nothing in the way of out-of-universe info; if I had no idea who he was, I honestly would say he qualifies for deletion, or a merge if he's lucky. I hope to get some time to improve some articles, but my plate is full already. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 21:44, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Welcome to the realities of a volunteer project. On subject areas that have their own wikis, such as Star Wars, a lot of normally dedicated contributors direct their efforts there instead of here.  That doesn't make the subject area less worthy of coverage, but it does mean that some tasks go undone.  I advise patience; there is no deadline.  Powers T 14:33, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * And, beyond that, the nuisance is that the cruftier an article is, the easier it is to table it and deal with something more quickly and easily salvageable. Still, there's been some good progress on those larger articles, e.g. Boba Fett and Han Solo, and the vehicle articles -- imperfect, maybe even glacial, but progress nevertheless. Ditto the bit about the deadline. --EEMIV (talk) 14:42, 25 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but I just don't see a powerful effort to fix these things. I mean, it should be expected that leaving notices of an article's quality, especially in the way of Padmé Amidala, Jabba the Hutt, and Palpatine, should get a proper response, when in fact all they get is, well, people discussing the most trivial details of an article versus whether it could be considered an example of Wikipedia's finest. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 04:10, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Kudos on Fett and Solo, though. But on the subject of Fett, it definitely needs more reception; it relies far too heavily on one man's opinion. Perhaps we could use what he says less frequently? But I digress, I'ma make Watto a GA. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 04:14, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * As I said, most of the really dedicated Star Wars fans are over on Wookieepedia. This is not a very active project from the looks of things.  Powers T 14:09, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, that does seem to be the case, that it does. However, the "there's no time limit" argument doesn't ALWAYS fly - I mean, if it did, one could protect an article for an extended period of time to avoid it being deleted. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 18:38, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, I totally propose dropping the Star Wars template. It doesn't seem very good to use them, as they are strongly in-universe. It should do what video game characters do, and have a universal template for characters in film/books/etc. as opposed to using its own series template. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 19:20, 26 November 2009 (UTC)
 * If you mean the Talk page template, that's not going anywhere. All WikiProjects have templates that go on talk pages to note that an article falls within the scope of their wikiproject. Its how we organize things here. The Wordsmith Communicate 03:31, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I meant the character infobox. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 03:39, 27 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, the list needs strong cleanup. I'm working on it at User:New Age Retro Hippie/List of Star Wars characters, but a big problem is not knowing who's notable ENOUGH for inclusion. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 08:51, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
 * In general, anyone linked from more than one article. Have to be careful not to orphan valid redirects and such.  =)  Powers T 20:12, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * True enough, but I mean, doesn't it seem excessive to have Gonk Droid and 4-LOM on the lists even though they're not even vaguely important?
 * Anyway, I'm proposing we do lists of characters like so: One list for characters established in the films, one list for characters established in various books and comics, and one for video games. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 22:13, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
 * They may not be important, but they might still be notable for reasons other than importance to the plot. Powers T 01:44, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but we can't include them because they could in theory be notable. - The New Age Retro Hippie used Ruler! Now, he can figure out the length of things easily. 02:34, 30 November 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not saying we should. I'm just saying that it may not be excessive to have them on the lists even though they're not particularly important.  Powers T 01:29, 1 December 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't think breaking it up into the medium in which they first appear is an especially great idea. A simple alphabetical break-up would be more reasonable. Before any of that, though, the list needs ongoing clean-up. There's a long-standing but nary-responded-to thread on that list's talk page asking for suggestions about inclusion criteria. --EEMIV (talk) 02:51, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

Book-class
Since several Wikipedia-Books are SW-related, could this project adopt the book-class? This would really help WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, as the WP SW people can oversee books like Star Wars episodes and Star Wars: Jedi Knight much better than we could as far as merging, deletion, content, and such are concerned. Eventually there probably will be a "Books for discussion" process, so that would be incorporated in the Article Alerts.

There's an article in last week's Signpost if you aren't familiar with Wikipedia-Books and classes in general. If you have any questions just ask. Thanks. Headbomb {{{sup|ταλκ}}<sub style="margin-left:-4.0ex;">κοντριβς – WP Physics} 03:36, 9 December 2009 (UTC)


 * For those who don't know much about what books are about, essentially Wikipedia-Books are collections of articles, which you can arrange in a certain order, separated by chapter an so on. This compilation, meant to be read like a book, can then be downloaded electronically, or ordered in print. See this example PDF (Although this one doesn't have any chapters yet). Here's one with chapters, although it's not SW-related.)
