The dreadnaught is a verifiable ship in the star wars EU. It is mentioned on the star wars website, dreadnaughts play a large part in the delopment of the Timothy Zahn trilogies and makes numormous appearences in other publications in the star wars EU. Also, dreadnaughts make up an important part of the plot in Star Wars Republic: The Dreadnaughts of Rendili. A depiction of the dreadnaughts is even available in the Dark Force Rising graphic novel. As such, the Dreadnaught is a well know and widely used ship in Star Wars and deserves a mention in a List of Starwars Spacecraft. Thank you.

**Do you have a problem with the Dreadnaught because it didn't appear in the movie? IS That What It is? WHat is wrong with you? The dreadnaught is a well used ship in the star wars EU. What else do you need? I gave you your refrences, I shortened the article! What's it going to take?[[User:141.151.203.43|141.151.203.43]] 14:15, 17 October 2007 (UTC) |
Revision as of 14:15, 17 October 2007
Worf
Since you seem to be sort of the Star Trek master around this place, what in the world is going on with the Worf article? I've had to restore it twice from what looks like deliberate vandalism blanking. There is also some strange stuff going on with possibly the same user using many accounts. A lot of red links and new users making the same edits together. Star Trek isn't really my area, but whats going on over on that article just seems wrong. Your expertise would seem to be needed. -OberRanks 02:45, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- LaForge and Data articles also hit by the same people. User:Anton Mravcek and User:ShutterBugTrekker also appear to be the same person or at least act very much alike. Administrators may be needed here. -OberRanks 02:50, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Sorry to put it here again. I am very curious what those guys are doing over there and I didnt know if you saw it before the archiving. Thanks for your time. -OberRanks 13:37, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
- No, I missed it; thanks for the heads up.
- As for stub-ifying, in general I don't particularly mind it. The articles are mostly in-universe plot summary. I haven't looked, though, at what's been added and removed; if they're yanking significant real-world material and leaving plot summary dreck, then it should be reverted. I agree that a better solution is for someone familiar with the material to sit down and rework the article(s), but in the absence of that expertise/willingness, stub-ifying is fine with me. No, it doesn't help that those two editors are not especially civil. --EEMeltonIV 14:11, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
Don't bite the newbies
Your eventual trimming of Shinzon was good, but until you were ready to solve the larger problem, it would have been nice to allow Kittysmith123's edits to remain. The section in its state at that point was basically a plot summary of the movie, and that user was only trying to make it a better plot summary -- which s/he did accomplish. You're correct that the section needed to be changed significantly from that state, but the user's edit didn't compound the problem in any significant way, and reverting it hardly solved anything.
- I don't keep track of how many edits someone has. It was an unnecessary (even if good-faith) addition, so I deleted it. --EEMeltonIV 02:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
- Usually a red user link is somewhat an indicator. Just something to keep in mind. The article looks good now though.
74.46.56.200
Some annomyous user at 74.46.56.200 is making random changes to Transformers articles. Do you know how to block an ISP? I can't figure out how to. Mathewignash 00:31, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
- You asked a similar question before. Now, as then, Wikipedia has a procedure for doling out blocks. See WP:VANDAL for information on what vandalism is and the steps to warn and, if necessary, eventually request a block. --EEMeltonIV 06:36, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Thanks for the laund prompt; I've been meaning to get round to that. Hope my edit looks about right to you. Thanks for all your work on this franchise. - Fayenatic (talk) 12:35, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Walker
I took the liberty of removing the Walker reference on Deckiller's talk page. I am assuming that his removal on the user page but not on the user talk page was an oversight. hbdragon88 02:04, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- That's quite a liberty, considering that it was something he actively added to his talk page. I'm sure you know that editing another user's talk page beyond simply leaving comment is generally considered rude -- did I miss a note somewhere where Deckiller indicated that he doesn't plan to continue editing that piece? --EEMeltonIV 02:10, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- I took his removal from the user page as a note. hbdragon88 02:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- However, if you wish I could email him to confirm/deny this. hbdragon88 02:20, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
By the way, I am an editor whose primary interest is video games (Deckiller, as his user page notes, is huge on Final Fantasy), and have run into him frequently on WT:CVG. I also occasionally comment on WT:WPFF. (on the September roll call, he mentioned "depressing real-life stuff" [1].) I think I shall email him because clarification is good. hbdragon88 02:38, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the heads up. I didn't check the edit history to see whether he removed the Walker article from his main page; I trust you. Sorry for biting your head off, or at least nibbling at it. --EEMeltonIV 02:39, 9 October 2007 (UTC)
Meh, I was hoping nobody would work on it and put it in namespace...I had that page reserved for something quite special (namely WP:DYK). But whatever; I don't really care about Wikipedia anymore except for a personal request to work on Derek Sherinian. — Deckiller 16:21, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
Janice Rand - in-universe?
Hi, can you please have a look at Talk:Janice Rand? Thank you. --The very model of a minor general 21:36, 15 October 2007 (UTC)
X-wing
Just couldn't wait, could you :P I'm sorry its taking so long to pull it all together, but I've had a lit on my mind university and work -wise recently, and I need to access The Making of Star Wars by J.W. Rinzler, because there's some material in there that I think will tie off all the design stuff. -- saberwyn 09:51, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- No worries; I got bored, and it was kind of sticking out since the other articles have been spruced up. I really need to get my hands on that Inside the Model Shop book; it sounds amazing. --EEMeltonIV 11:28, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
- I recommend it... it has some real good material in it. -- saberwyn 11:48, 16 October 2007 (UTC)
