Talk: Sol Pacificus


Hello, Sol Pacificus. I hope everything is all right regarding the discussion we've had on the Human article's talk page. It's true that we're not always aware of our own biases, but I'd like to stress I didn't intend to be offensive in any way. --LelalMekha (talk) 11:30, November 22, 2013 (UTC)

Hey there! Don't worry, your nickname is actually grammatically correct. "Sōl pācificus" is indeed "pacific/peaceable sun"—don't mind those weird accents, they're only there for pronunciation. --LelalMekha (talk) 11:15, January 2, 2014 (UTC)

Hi! Regarding the rumbat's biology, I'd say it's safe to assume it was a bat based on its name. That may be debatable, though. I believe the other point is clearer, however. Based on that single quote you provided, we can't say for certain that other travelers ever caught the creatures and ate them, therefore we can only safely state that Brock did it in that particular instance.

Just for your reference, regarding the requested deletion of File:DC-17 commando pistol.png, PNG has long been accepted as a valid format for game screenshots, given the tendency of game graphics to be sharply defined and thus falling under the image policy's recommendation for images with "sharp color transitions." This also covers images with background transparency as found on many promotional sites. -- Darth Culator 13:50, January 22, 2017 (UTC)

I posted a message regarding my thoughts on the POV issues with the Mace Windu/Legends article, as well as all articles in general, on the corresponding talk page per your request. As you said, that article is definitely skewed against him. But given that it is a Legends/non-canon article, I didn't want to go through the effort of repairing it, especially since I spent a lot of time fixing the POV issues in Windu's canonical article. So I felt that a warning template was sufficient enough, at least until someone finds the time to remove the POV statements in that article. JRT2010 (talk) 09:43, March 23, 2017 (UTC)

Hey there! Just wanted to remind that you have until Wednesday to address the objections on the Ice and the Guts and Glory GANs. Cheers, Imperators II 06:25, May 21, 2017 (UTC)

So i'm not supposed to edit http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:SH:Description_vs._Design_in_weapons_%26_equipment_articles?t=20170905210435 anymore? Without checking any weapons articles, i'm guessing "Design" implies either the look of the weapon and/or the behind-the-scenes process of coming up with the weapon, as opposed to "Description" which more clearly omits behind-the-scenes stuff and includes stuff like what the weapon does, how it works, how far it works (proton torpedo has a greater range than a lightsaber, for example), etc. 71.121.143.76 09:07, October 10, 2017 (UTC)

Hello. In response to the trouble you're having signing your user signature on the Mr/Miss Star Wars votes, you're experiencing this because you're using Wikia's VisualEditor skin, which is full of such technical nightmares. We strongly recommend going into your Preferences and changing your editing skin to "Source editor." Life will be much better for you that way.

Hello there, I was wondering if you might still have the source files saved for the DC-17 image you isolated and uploaded back in 2017? I'm trying to access the original website to see what the image looked like in context.

Link to the DC-17 image page: https://starwars.fandom.com/wiki/File:DC-17_commando_pistol.png Archive of the original LucasArts webpage that you cited: https://web.archive.org/web/20050305072649/http://www.lucasarts.com/games/swbattlefront/index.html

Thank you,

  • Thanks for letting me know. I read on the Wookieepedia:Images page that JPEG was to be used for game screenshots, and I remember that a few years ago, I encountered a user who got in serious trouble with an admin for uploading images of game screenshots in PNG.

  • If you don't mind, could you send a reminder over to ExileJedi about Guts and Glory as well, given that it has been many months since he last responded to me addressing his points? Sol Pacificus 14:32, May 21, 2017 (UTC)
