Talk: LOST-Malachi

Hello, LOST-Malachi. You are encouraged to specify on your userpage if you have edited Wookieepedia before and are now using a different username to edit the wiki. While changing your username is perfectly acceptable, please be advised that it is not ok to use a different username in an effort to assume a different identity or hide your true identity. This may be construed as a violation of Wookieepedia's sockpuppetry guidelines, and in extreme cases, may result in the user being blocked from editing for an extended period of time. Thank you, and have a Wookiee-tastic day! Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:38, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

• I would like to reiterate this message to you one last time, since you've evidently chosen to ignore it. It's perfectly acceptable to change your username at any time, but it is not okay to attempt to assume a different identity in order to avoid a previous editing history here on Wookieepedia. This is considered sockpuppetry. Please be aware that the Wookieepedia administration can easily determine whether someone is in violation of sockpuppetry, so ignoring this message or trying to deny one's true identity will ultimately get you nowhere. It would be my personal recommendation to you that you either leave a notice on your userpage(s) signifying who you are or redirecting your previous userpage to your current account, so that it's clear that your intentions are good. If you continue to ignore this message, I will have no choice but to consider you as attempting to assume a different identity, and therefore in violation of the sockpuppetry policy. Thank you for your cooperation. Toprawa and Ralltiir 00:38, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I noticed you added the {{update}} template to Ysanne Isard. What exactly is the information lacking? Is it just the card, or something else? -- AdmirableAckbar 12:16, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

In what way was she mentioned in-game? Is it notable enough to put in the bio?—Jedi Kasra 17:52, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Could you please provide some proper verification for this Season 2 guide that you're using as a source? It currently turns up no online records anywhere. Thank you. CC7567 07:04, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

• In the future, please provide an accessible and official confirmation for the publication of this book before using it as a source for information, because as far as I know, it hasn't been published or even alluded to by any Lucasfilm affiliates. Thank you. CC7567 16:28, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Hello sir, I was wondering if you would be able to tell me what information from Clone Wars Adventures I'm missing in the article for the First Battle of Saleucami. I'm not able to play the game so any help you could give me on the matter would be much appreciated. Darth Trayus 19:17, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

• Oh and same goes for Katuunko! Darth Trayus 19:41, October 13, 2010 (UTC)

Hey, I've been told that you own The Price of Victory. Could you provide me with the information from the cards about the 501st? Many thanks. Chack Jadson 23:17, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Hey there, Malachi. Cheers for being on the ball regarding the updates required for the Imperial Knights. In the future, it might be prudent to wait a little more than two days after the issue's release before adding it, but it's all good, baby. Also, if you're interested in editing it yourself, definitely feel free to be bold and add the info, as long as there's no sort of inuse tag on the article or anything. If you're familiar with Wookieepedia's sourcing guidelines, then your contributions are more than welcome, even on Featured Articles. :D Thanks again, and I hope to see a lot of editing from you in the future! If you're interested in Legacy, feel free to check out and join Wookieepedia:WookieeProject Legacy Era. Menkooroo 16:07, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, LM, I'm a n00b to the Galxies TCG, but can you explain what you mean that Snoova is only a computer-controlled avatar in the game? The card is clearly labeled "Avatar," which, the rules seem to indicate, a player can take on that persona if he or she plays the correct faction. Not so? ~ 05:02, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

• This avatar is only available to AI in the story scenario, not to players. --LOST-Malachi 05:05, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

You may not have noticed, but I have the P8 Lamprey pistol up on the CAN. I was unaware of its appearance in the last SWTCG expansion. Could you provide me with what it says on the card about so I can integrate into the article. Thanks! OLIOSTER 02:26, September 2, 2011 (UTC)

Because T-canon sources conflict with each other—"Rookies," "Clone Cadets," and "Darkness on Umbara"—we shouldn't simply move the article without some explanation about how Fives received a new name. At the moment, there is currently nothing, and his name was mentioned without reasoning in the episode. If Fives' name was mentioned in a lower canon source, such as a TCW sourcebook, then a move would be considered. Personally I would wait until we find out how he received that name before moving his article. Now only this, Fives' encyclopedia entry mentions CT-27-5555 as well. I would, however, add his new designation in the intro and mention a inconsistency in the bts for now. Hopefully you understand, JangFett 16:03, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

The Old Republic codex is not an independent source, and should not be added to articles as such. Please refrain from doing so. If you feel the need to specify that the mention was in the codex only, then feel free to add after The Old Republics entry in the appearances list. Darth Trayus 10:34, December 21, 2011 (UTC)

I don't have any access to the material pertaining to that card game campaign, I was wondering if you possibly help me with that. Thank you. DjMack 19:35, January 15, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Malachi, I noticed you added Lost Tribe of the Sith: Secrets to the Shikkar article's update tag, but said it was only mentioned in the eBook. Was there any new information about the weapon, or was it just mentioned in passing? If it's the latter, then no update is needed. Thanks for your help! Jonjedigrandmaster 22:01, March 15, 2012 (UTC)

• Hey, it's been over a week since I posted, and I saw that you've been online, so I just wanted to follow up on this. Just making sure you haven't forgotten. Thanks, Jonjedigrandmaster 00:29, March 27, 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I would just like to thank you for finding that information about Xamuel Lennox. Farewell and happy editing.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 23:50, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Malachi, I noticed you've been doing a lot of work on articles from The Essential Guide to Warfare recently, especially with images. Would you be interested in joining WookieeProject Warfare? We're a WookieeProject devoted to cataloging all of the new info and images from the Guide, and we'd love to have you and your images.

Just sign your name to the project page with a #~~~ in the participants section if you want to join. Thanks! —Cade Calrayn 14:42, April 7, 2012 (UTC)

• Hey Malachi, as you have that source, would you be able to look through my list of GAs and FAs, maybe even my CAs, and tell me if the source includes them at all, and if so, what new info there is? Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 22:08, April 7, 2012 (UTC)
• On the same topic, when you're adding the EGTW to source lists and tagging articles with {{Update}}, it'd be a great help if you could note the (first/main/only) page number the subject is mentioned on in the edit summary. Doing this makes it easier for people to get the info to update the articles with. Thanks, 16:33, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

• What new info is there for Wedge Antilles? I was told by someone else that there was no new info other than expanded names, which have already been handled. I can't afford to buy the book right now, and it's not available through my local library, so I have to rely on others to provide me with the info. Thanks.

Hey Malachi,

What was the reason for the dispute tag? Perhaps I can help. Let me know please, and thanks.

Hello LOST-Malachi, I saw the appearance you added to Bob Hudsol. Does Evram Lajaie also appear in that comic, as he is visible in both of Bob's scenes? Hanzo Hasashi 14:16, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Mauser. I noticed that you removed the links to the CCG cards in Rayc Ryjerd's sources section. This shouldn't be done, as removing the link results in the cardname not actually showing up. The link should be included using the URLs from this website. Cheers. Menkooroo 01:46, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

• I don't suppose you can supply me with any information of this Heroic encounter from the SWGTCG. I plan to take the article to status. OLIOSTER 23:24, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Aah thanks for the info on the TCG, it's much appreciated. I did find some cards.rcc file, but was unable to figure out how to extract the info. If you ever find a way to view TCG images using C++ be sure to keep me posted! StarsiderSWG (talk) 15:37, July 7, 2012 (UTC)

Hello, please take a look at my move comments on the Invasion of the Minos Cluster page. Also, remember that major changes to Featured Articles, such as name movements, should at least be mentioned to the writer of the article, as page moves require more work than just the move edit itself. Darth Trayus 19:38, August 27, 2012 (UTC)

...Where did you get this scan of File:Of Possible Futures.jpg? Is it possible to obtain a larger scan size? I scanned in the image from my book, but it will require a good bit of touching up before I can upload it (my scanner hates glossy paper). Thanks. Trak Nar 08:20, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

• It is not a scan, the image was extracted directly from Kindle version of the book. Sorry you broke the book's spine, but any scan would be inferior to the original, unaltered image. I'd wait until Trevas posts it on his facebook page, only then will we get a bigger AND better version. --LOST-Malachi () 14:42, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Hey Mauser. Please note that the majority of the images that you just uploaded from The Essential Reader's Companion require proper cropping—they might be higher quality from the artist's website, but just about all of them have either too much whitespace or too much empty space for proper visual use on the site. It would be a great help if you could take some time to properly crop the images (as the original versions were) and re-upload them before the old versions get deleted. Thanks. CC7567 20:35, November 28, 2012 (UTC)

Hey, Mauser. I think you're pretty much one of, if not the only, person who may have access to this stuff, so I thought I would ask you if you have a clearer version of the "Falleen's Fist Blueprints" card from the SWGTC set Agents of Deception. I'm trying to translate the Aurebesh on that card, but that upload is too blurry to be able to make out the smaller print on there. Thanks for any help you can provide. Toprawa and Ralltiir (talk) 00:49, January 24, 2013 (UTC)

• No higher res version of that one exists to my knowledge. You could try and ask StarsiderSWG for a larger copy of this image, takes from SWG itself. Last I talked to him, he still had an access to the game client and possibly even an unofficial emulator of it. Even a 1280x960px screenshot should be large enough to read the text. --LOST-Malachi () 04:15, January 24, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Mauser! Could you please tell me what exactly does Eruption say about Obri so I can update the article accordingly? Thanks! Imperators II 06:58, April 29, 2013 (UTC)

Hey man, if you're going to move articles, then please correct the article after the move. See my edits here. I'm not sure if you're aware, but per the Mofference, we have to include the parentheses symbols in the infobox now. See my edit here. Thanks, JangFett 17:15, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

• It seems you're not understanding. If you're going to move articles, then please fix the infobox. JangFett 15:28, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

Hi, I might have considered keeping it if a) you had provided a link to the article in question in your edit summary rather than "(to better distinguish from the other one)" which led me to believe that you are refering to the Fia species rather than a separate individual, and b) if you had gone through What Links Here and changed the links to corresponding articles so they weren't redirects, which as Fia is a status article, would have been useful. I have no problems with you changing it back if you also alter the redirects, but as it stood from your edit summary, the move made no sense. - Sir Cavalier of One 20:00, July 16, 2013 (UTC)

Hello, thank you for pointing out my mistake with the name on the Grahuur article. I don't know how I missed that.--Exiled Jedi (Greetings) 16:30, July 30, 2013 (UTC)

It's not letting me restore the old corrupted revision. The image shows up fine on my end, however. Trak Nar 07:43, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

• Wait, nevermind. Looks like the old revision is there. Trak Nar 07:44, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

With many of the articles you've been creating recently, there is a common theme of problems. When putting an infobox in an article, make sure the whole infobox is there, otherwise, this could happen, and there are no "hideb", or "hidep" sections. Another thing would be to make sure that redirects are accurate, you can always hit preview before you save. If someone is a commander, or a doctor, it doesn't need to be capitalized unless it is directly referring to them as such (Doctor Jones, and Jones was a doctor). Also, with categories, make sure that there is no space between the colon, and that they are placed in alphabetical order. Trip391 (talk) 20:28, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

• Also, make sure that all articles are written in the past tense, as per Wookieepedia's policies, and if someone's gender isn't listed in the article, don't refer to them as he/sh; and put the "Unidentified gender" category on the bottom. Trip391 (talk) 21:36, August 5, 2013 (UTC)

I don't know if you ever read the civility policy, but it says a little something about judgemental edit summaries. Writing "duh" in an edit summary, is a big no-no, in case you were curious, or simply did not know. Trip391 (talk) 06:32, August 7, 2013 (UTC)

Because there is another Watcher Three, . Cade Calrayn 04:44, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hello, just wanted to bring something to your attention. When redirecting pages, please take care to redirect them to their target page, rather than redirect the page to itself, as had happened here. It's an honest mistake with pages with similar titles, so I figured that I'd let you know that this happened, so that you can catch it if it happens again. :) Trak Nar 07:50, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

While your edit to Galactic Empire is appreciated, the page currently has a template called {{Inuse}} at the top. This template means that someone is currently working on improving the article, and to avoid edit conflicts, no one other than the placer of the template should edit the page while the message is visible. Thank you for your cooperation. Trip391 (talk) 09:03, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Malachi sir, I noticed that you made series of large edits that contained significant amount of information, but they all were commentless and marked as minor. I would kindly ask you to not mark edits as minor if they're adding or changing content significantly and also to provide edit summary in order to help other editors know what is happening. Thank you (: –  09:40, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

Really? I just... I don't why? Can you tell me more? Please--64.134.191.225 17:40, August 9, 2013 (UTC)

Mauser, if you're going to upload new versions of images, please don't replace headshots with full-body shots. Please crop the images so that they fit in the infoboxes correctly. Thank you. Cade Calrayn 04:33, August 12, 2013 (UTC)

• In a similar note, headshots are far better than the wide full-body shots you've been uploading; it'd be great if you could crop them to be head-and-shoulder shots. Also, if you're going to be taking images in TOR, please shut off the NPC labeling in your game options so that the NPC names don't show up in the images. CadeCalrayn 19:46, August 14, 2013 (UTC)

Hey Malachi. When moving mainspace articles, please try to add the {{Delete}} template to the talk page of the old article that is left as a redirect, because it's an unnecessary redirect. Adding the template will make it easier for admins to make sure the talk page redirects get deleted. Thanks. CC7567 22:38, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

Mauser, please try to slow down and take a closer look at the articles you're making. On many of them, you're not changing the names of the characters as you copy-paste the text, and you're making typos and leaving incorrect information on articles while you head off to the next one. A simple look-over can get rid of these errors. Cade Calrayn 20:34, August 21, 2013 (UTC)

I was wondering who this article is about? I assumed, as it is named "Dorant", it is about a character named Dorant, but the first sentence names the character as Vernon for some reason? I'm pretty sure it's not about a character named Vernon though, because I just had to fix some capitalization errors on a page for a doctor/xenobiologist named Vernon. In any case I changed the name in the article to Dorant, to be on the safe side. Trip391 (talk) 18:41, September 2, 2013 (UTC)

Hi Malachi, thanks for putting the new content tag on Spine Dragon! I was wondering if you remembered the name of the quest in which the dragon is mentioned so I can research it and update the article. Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:55, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

• Everything relevant I posted in edit summary. I don't keep track of the quests' name and I don't use game files/databases much to avoid spoilers. It's Imperial Agent storyline on Taris, in the backstory of your main opponent on that planet which is told through several quests and conversations basically. Check Ki Sazen for starters, but there is more, I believe. LOST-Malachi () 16:07, September 3, 2013 (UTC)

I know about the button seeing as how I've used it before, Mauser, but thanks for letting me know. Trip391 (talk) 19:41, September 4, 2013 (UTC)

The {{Youmay}} tag is best suited on Darth Krayt's Empire article than on a non-canonical article. Does a Legacy source say "New Galactic Empire"? Please find out. Turning that article into a disambig page is better imo. JangFett 21:17, September 6, 2013 (UTC)

• You can move Galactic Empire (The Star Wars) to New Galactic Empire (The Star Wars). I don't know why you want to move it there, unless the source calls it New Galactic Empire. JangFett 01:39, September 7, 2013 (UTC)

You have been blocked from editing for 2 weeks for continued sloppy mistakes that force administrators to clean up after you and which could be easily avoided by slowing down to double-check your work before you submit it. Tonight I am referring to and . These mistakes that you are making are not normal, especially given the alarming frequency with which they are occurring. I said it above and I will repeat myself: Wookieepedia does not have a deadline. If you can only get ten images uploaded in a session instead of twenty, so what? The rest can be uploaded in another session. Please take these next two weeks to slow down and think about what you are doing wrong. And then when you return, continue slowing down so that we admins do not have to continue cleaning up your messes, because if we do, you will be blocked again. To contest this block, please contact the blocking administrator with the reason you believe the block is unjustified. 02:57, September 7, 2013 (UTC)
