Hi.

Can you help me with something regarding this site?

I'm trying to upload some email correspondences between myself and Ansel Hsiao with the intention of using them as sources, but I can't do that due to a new policy of limiting the uploads to people with a lifetime of edits and also a viable email address. I tried inputting my email (otness_e@mindspring.com) into the my preferences, yet it doesn't seem to recognize that, nor does it really do anything about it. Can you tell me exactly HOW I'm supposed to fix the email problem and possibly how I can get my images up? Weedle McHairybug (talk) 02:02, January 8, 2016 (UTC)

• The filter's there to stop image uploads being abused. You should be able to just enter your email address in preferences. If that's not working for some reason you might need to ask someone from Wikia. Green Tentacle 23:09, January 9, 2016 (UTC)

I am trying to create the Jedi Admiral article, but something keeps on preventing me from doing; it is one of the military ranks giving to the members of the Jedi order.--Marin-2 (talk) 22:47, January 9, 2016 (UTC)

Hi GT, this is user:Nadirali. I am messaging to inquire about the Star Trek article on Wookieepedia and why it was deleted?

Is it because it's about a non-Star Wars topic? There are also topics that have references/tributes to Star Wars such as the articles on Star Wars actors and mentions of ET (Steven Speilberg's film).

There also references to SW in that film. In the same manner, Star Trek has a number of references to Star Wars, including cameos. This is documented in the Star Trek wiki and on various websites.

I think the article should be restored. If you think that article needs fixing prior to re-publication I would be happy to do it. In it there were lots of references to Star Wars and actors who appeared in both. Natlie Portman was unaware of them both till she acted in them.

Let me know where the article can be found. You can drop the draft on my talk page if you want to. Thanks.--Nadirali

• The article was trash compacted back in 2011 as it was basically a list of unsourced trivia. We don't tend to do articles that are not directly related to Star Wars so I doubt it would last very long if anyone tried to bring it back. Articles on actors can include details of other works they have appeared in so there's nothing to stop you adding any Star Trek appearances to those where appropriate. Or you could try Memory Alpha's Star Wars article or list of references to Star Wars in movies and list of references to Star Wars in television on Star Wars Fanpedia. Green Tentacle 22:46, January 17, 2016 (UTC)

Is it possible to have an unpublished version of the article dropped to my talkpage? I would be grateful for that. Who knows, I could fix it or replace all the trivia with info relevant to Star Wars. Either way, I won't publish it until it meets Wookieepedia standards.--Ali 06:23, January 27, 2016 (UTC)

There is a user known as 68.187.111.81 who made a bad edit on Probe Droids, and all that s/he added was "Probe killers are awesome." Steppehound (talk) 16:29, January 18, 2016 (UTC)

Hello. Could we move Star Wars: Obsession in Timeline of Legends media from the end of the clone wars to between Star Wars: Republic: Dreadnaughts of Rendili and The Brink story from Star Wars: Clone Wars Adventures Volume 4. Because Padme ses Anakin's scar for the first time. I now Count Dooku betrayder Asajj Ventress, but we could say, Dooku not betrayed her.

Hi.

I have a couple of questions regarding the medallion(s) from training various vessels in Star Wars: TIE Fighter:

1. Other than the Missile Boat medallion, are there any other medallions in that game that can be gained via training?

2. If there are, do you think you can upload images of the medallions besides the Missile Boat one to this Wiki? I think we need more articles on those medallions, since medals generally get articles, after all.

Hi Green tentacle. I'm trying to expand the article of the Unidentified TIE Defender chief scientist but something's gone wrong and it won't save my edit. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong can you help me? (Truthfulpietro (talk) 14:03, May 20, 2016 (UTC))

• Without an error message it could be anything. Sorry. Green Tentacle 16:57, May 20, 2016 (UTC)

Here's one error message. (Truthfulpietro (talk) 18:53, May 20, 2016 (UTC))

Warning: Your attempt to edit this article with the VisualEditor interface has resulted in mangled code, and thus has been blocked. Please try your edit again with a different editor.

Can I send you my essay on the scientist? (Truthfulpietro (talk) 18:55, May 20, 2016 (UTC))

I think I managed to sort it out now. (Truthfulpietro (talk) 19:08, May 20, 2016 (UTC))

The question is, I think the scientist is some kind of plot device. The scientist in the game never speaks, does anything on his own accord and is simply needed to help construct TIE Defenders. There must be a term for it, I just don't know what it is. (Truthfulpietro (talk) 19:11, May 20, 2016 (UTC))

Hi Green Tentacle. I was wondering about a page regarding Prototype as a general item. (Truthfulpietro (talk) 21:01, May 31, 2016 (UTC))

There will be a thing on the usual day at the usual time in one week. Come do the usual stuff. -- Darth Culator 13:49, July 30, 2016 (UTC)

Recently, I have made a major edit on the article Jedha, adding the new info about the moon as we get more close to Rogue One. Even though I was not using the VisualEditor, one small part of my article just keeps giving errors. Here is the exact part that I have been trying to add to the end of "Inhabitants" section:

During the [[Age of the Empire]], the streets of Jedha were filled with [[Priest/Canon|priests]], scholars and holy [[Sexes|men]] and women.<ref name="EW Jedha" /> Prior to the [[Battle of Yavin]], Saw Gerrera–leader of a resistance group known as the [[Partisans]]<ref name="Bloodline">''[[Bloodline (novel)|Bloodline]]''</ref>–was bunkered on the moon, coordinating a prolonged insurgency against the Imperial occupation.<ref name="Saw Gerrera DB" />

I would be glad if you could help me to figure this out. Thanks! AnilSerifoglu (talk) 12:43, August 11, 2016 (UTC)

Hello i need Help when i wanna Edit a Article than Appeared Something went Wrong. it is by Morags Lair File M3.png with Location Template.

Hello Green tentacle, sorry if this is a bad time but every editor I've talked have suggested I talk to one of the Admins, which is why am here.

It's regarding certain Mandalores we have in category. Should we remove Darth Maul, Satine Kryze, and Adonai Kryze from it since they don't count. With Darth Maul being an outsider, title does not apply to him or the other two since Mand'alor is a warrior title and their New Mandalorians. (Halo1091 (talk) 01:40, October 17, 2016 (UTC))

Hello Green tentacle, I'm trying to get the USERNAME template to work on our wiki as it does on yours. Do you happen to know what JavaScript (I assume) is associated with it for it to work?

Many thanks! Wingstrike: The man with a fancy signature -

Never mind, saw there was a discussion on its talk page that mentioned the Templates wiki and found the solution there, sorry to bother!

Question about the image of the Emperor's Secret Order tattoo in TIE Fighter on Maarek Stele's Legends entry: why does the high-res 1998 Collector's Version shown in the image look like the 1995 version? As far as I know, the 1998 version of TIE Fighter uses a different graphic, which never gets all three arms of the upper "trident" complete. ATMachine () 17:28, November 30, 2017 (UTC)

PS: Sorry about posting this twice, the first time I forgot to attach the header.

• No idea, it's been ten years. Possibly extracted it from the game files (my save game never got to Emperor's Reach) but the app I used to have doesn't seem to get on with Windows 10 so I can't check. Green Tentacle 21:41, November 30, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks, that would make sense. Do you know which program it was? I might like to see if it'll work on a pre-Win64 PC. ATMachine () 04:57, December 1, 2017 (UTC)

• Still not sure how I got it, but I've used a hex editor to change a save game's rank and you're right, the Emperor's Reach doesn't get the three arms in the Windows version, only the DOS one. Replaced the image with a new version. If you carry on editing the rank there are three presumably unused tattoos, including the one with three arms which the Windows 98 version labels as "COMPUTER STRINGS". Green Tentacle 22:20, December 10, 2017 (UTC)

Hey! Would you mind taking a look at Denal please? A user keeps adding that he appears in ARC Troopers despite the fact he died in a previous episode. If I reverted their edit again I know they will just add it again meaning I'll have broken the 3RR rule, thank you --Lewisr (talk) 22:31, December 10, 2017 (UTC)

For the main image of Independence, would you like me to upload a blu ray screenshot from ROTJ of the identical ship, scene and angle the card image is taken from to better address the image width concern? - JMAS 23:32, January 13, 2018 (UTC)

• Thanks, but the CCG one is slightly altered so I don't think a shot of Home One, although considerably easier on the eye, will satisfy the Inquisitors. Green Tentacle 00:26, January 14, 2018 (UTC)

Hello, GT. As you were not present at the March 4, 2018 Mofference (or, at least, you did not cast a vote in this particular vote), I am informing you of the updated administrator activity requirements. Specifically, administrators now need to make at least 250 mainspace edits in any six-month span to retain their user rights. For further information, see Wookieepedia:Administrators#Activity_requirements. There is a grace period of six months, starting from this date. Cheers, 1358 (Talk) 04:34, March 4, 2018 (UTC)

Pardon me, im from B-Master Animation and i would like some people to full in the timeline with events from Star Wars Resistance. Seeing how four episodes of the show is out and i would like some editors to put in the things that are canon to the timeline. I already put in some of it, but not enough since its hard to know if its part of it or not. That and the date is hard to understand it. CB2014 20:26, November 1, 2018 (UTC)

Hello there! I recently came across an error when attempting to edit the description of an image entitled Young Leia from the Star Wars Art: Visions art book. The file page in question can be found here http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/File:Young_leia_photo.jpg

Specifically, I was attempting to add a translation of the Aurebesh text in the image. However, when I tried to save my edit, I was given the following message: ”This action has been automatically identified as harmful and therefore disallowed. If you believe your edit was constructive, please inform an administrator of what you were trying to do.”

For reference, here is the exact edit I was attempting to add: “|Text=[Translated from Aurebesh] “She continues to speak of the dreams that haunt her. Alone and scared, surrounded by oceans of sand. I fear that these dreams are...” [Remainder of text obscured]”.

I feel the translation is an important addition for 2 reasons: 1. The page does not contain a translation for those unfamiliar with Aurebesh. 2 The dreams mentioned in the text were later incorporated into the (now Legends) contunity by the Official Star Wars Fact File series. Therefore, since the content of the image is part of continuity, I feel the translation is necessary for the sake of completion, thoroughness, and ease of reference.

Please advise on what I should do to save my edit or let me know if you have any concerns.

Thank you! Granitebees (talk) 07:24, December 27, 2018 (UTC)

• Hey. The {{Information}} template doesn't have a field called text so you'll have to add it to description. As for the error message, your addition was fine but you triggered an abuse filter intended to prevent new users from abusing the upload facility. Per the upload page instructions: "To upload files, you must have: (1) an account that is at least four days old; (2) at least fifty edits on Wookieepedia; and (3) a confirmed email address in your preferences." That applies to editing existing image pages too. Not sure if you've confirmed your email address but you have less than 50 edits so it's probably that. You'll need to make more edits to article pages first. Green Tentacle 11:21, December 27, 2018 (UTC)

Thanks for hearing about Rebel Assaults games and hearing Emkay ogg's. Will you help me about Podracer annoucements in Racer game? Oh and thank you for editing X-Wing Alliance voices. Youre a genius!—

Hello,

I would like to use something similar to the Legends sub-template that is used on Wookieepedia on my wiki such as - https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/Jabba_Desilijic_Tiure/Legends

my wiki is here - https://astronism.wikia.org/wiki/Astropedia

Would there be a way of you being able to sending my the template or how to page of how I can do that on my wiki? I would of course change the wording and style to suit my wiki. Please let me know.

Thank you

Hello could you tell me how to make the canon/legends template on another wiki? User:Dreadlord the Skeleton

Hey, I had a question if I am allowed to make an article (a list) and I asked Lewis about it. He said he would be okay if some other admins would be okay with it as well. He also asked me to ask some other admins. So here is my original message: I am interested in a Jedi-list in the wiki. But I know you admins are against lists here because they often become poorly maintained and sourced. But I do know for a fact that I would maintain it well (because that's in my own interest) and would source every single cell in the table. And a list naturally brings some advantages over the category site: canon-legeneds-difference, more details with a quick look and in general better visuals. If you're against this, maybe we could make a Jedi-list on the Jedi-page like it's done with Senators? CanePlayz (talk) 19:01, January 13, 2020 (UTC)

Hi, the audiobook pages you created require an External links section, per Layout Guide. Otherwise, they will be deleted due to lack of verification. UberSoldat93 (talk) 15:31, September 12, 2020 (UTC)

• Everything on those pages was appropriately sourced in notes and references so they were in no danger. Nevertheless, I have now added external links. Green Tentacle 00:40, September 13, 2020 (UTC)

Hello, I recently gave TIE/D Defender a full read (Great work on the article by the way). However, I noticed that newer FFG cards were recently added to Sources, and there is currently a redlink to an Expansion Pack.

It would also be good to check the audiobooks for the novels, namely X-Wing: Isard's Revenge, X-Wing: Starfighters of Adumar, The New Jedi Order: The Final Prophecy, The New Jedi Order: The Unifying Force, and Fate of the Jedi: Ascension. The X-Wing novels have both abridged and unabridged versions. UberSoldat93 (talk) 13:33, October 10, 2020 (UTC)

• Looks like Fate of the Jedi: Ascension has twounabridged versions. UberSoldat93 (talk) 13:40, October 12, 2020 (UTC)

Correctamundo --SeanoTheNerd (talk) 17:43, October 19, 2020 (UTC)

Hello, sorry to bother you regarding a status article again. There are more audiobooks to be checked for Bria Tharen: The Paradise Snare talking book, The Hutt Gambit talking book, Rebel Dawn talking book, Tatooine Ghost abridged, and The New Jedi Order: Agents of Chaos I: Hero's Trial abridged. UberSoldat93 (talk) 12:38, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

• Already checked the abridged Tatooine Ghost and Hero's Trial and she's not mentioned. I'll check the other three. Thanks. Green Tentacle 14:07, 25 October 2020 (UTC)

Hey, just letting you know that the Bibliography has to list all works where the individual is credited (including credits within video games). This applies to David Maxwell and Lawrence Holland. UberSoldat93 (talk) 16:21, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

• Thanks, missed the last Mofference, didn't know it had changed. Does this mean we have to list everything twice now since there's still a filmography/discography/published works section? Green Tentacle 17:24, 4 December 2020 (UTC)

Hey Green tentacle! This is ReverieCode from Fandom staff. Just wanted to let you know you should have received a message from me via Discord, and also email.

Hello Green tentacle,

the Wookieepedia discord directed me here und recommended I bring the following issue to you: I noticed that in your article Great Heep you reference "The Great Heep" (the episode) several times in a row without another source between them, supposedly because you first referenced both parts of the episode for themselves and they were only merged later to be one reference. I spotted several of them in the "Characteristics" section and one in the biography (where you end the story of the episode's first part and start with the second). Nahdar Vebb (talk) 13:28, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

• Yeah, we used to have articles for both parts. Fixed. Thanks for letting me know. Green Tentacle 14:08, 24 January 2021 (UTC)

Hey GT! I know the Inq just spared MK-09 from probation, but I'd like you to try and cleanup the references 9 and 10. They need to be fully linked, and it looks to me that this citation template also should be implemented there. Thanks, Imperators II 11:33, 23 February 2021 (UTC)

I didn't see a deadline on nominees, but if I did something wrong feel free to remove the nomination), but it seems that I coded it wrong so the vote box has one kinda.....set off to the side. 😅 I just thought it would be proper to mention this to ya.

Hello Mr. tentacle. I just wanted to say thank you for updating my images, it's very thoughtful of you to do.--Dat1899 (talk) 15:34, 21 January 2022 (UTC)

Hello, Green tentacle!

As you may know, I have officially proposed that all in-universe category pages be split by continuities. Xd1358 suggested that instead of splitting categories, we instead create a tool to filter pages in a category by continuity, and he told me that you said that you would be willing to look into creating a "JS/whatever powered GUI for DPL", as he put it, which would give users the option to select a certain continuity they wanted to see within category pages. I have absolutely no idea what any of those abbreviations mean, but apparently you do. If such a tool can be created, then that would be a lot easier than having to split every category. I am here to ask how that is coming along and if there's anything I could do to help. Thanks! Jarhead002 (talk) 17:35, 19 March 2022 (UTC)

• Hey. Yeah, I'm working on adding links to the top of category pages to filter the category to Canon and Legends using DPL. Needs some more testing, but it looks like it will be an option. Green Tentacle 12:40, 20 March 2022 (UTC)
• Great! Well, as I said, let me know if you need any help, and make sure to keep me updated. Jarhead002 (talk) 21:35, 21 March 2022 (UTC)
• Thank you so much for creating that! It works incredibly well! You just saved everybody a ton of work. I look forward to it being reviewed by fandom and being enabled site-wide. Jarhead002 (talk) 22:13, 29 March 2022 (UTC)

Hey there! Looks like Sarn has slid into the FA territory, now being 1030+ words long. Would you be interested in FAing it sometime soon, or should it just be delisted as GA for now and then you can renominate later? Imperators II 14:13, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

Hi, hopefully you're still around and are able to fix Miltin Takel and Dash Rendar which are up for review. Would be a shame to see those articles lose status. Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi (talk) 13:43, 27 March 2023 (UTC)

• Hey Hanzo. Thanks for taking care of Rendar. Samonic's done much of Takel, but I'll help out with the rest. Green Tentacle 23:43, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
