Is it possible for an article about Galen Marek? I mean being the main character in Force Unleashed and the upcomming Force Unleashed II, having been featured in Soul Calibur IV and revolving alot around Darth Vader's life? -- VitasV ( talk) 23:17, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
There has been a recent problem with regards to a specific image, Image:Spirits.jpg, which has Fair use rationale, being replaced by exactly the same image, Image:Spirits 1.jpg, which does not have FUR. The FUR image has been replaced in the articles Force (Star Wars), Anakin Skywalker, and Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi by Xnacional ( talk · contribs). As I understand it, the image with the FUR should be used. -- The Taerkasten ( talk) 22:51, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
I've done some significant rewrites and expansions to that article (the latest was the second of two waves; did a big overhaul in the fall-ish). I'm thinking about putting it up for GA status, but would appreciate some eyeballs from this group first. -- EEMIV ( talk) 21:42, 15 January 2010 (UTC)

Hello Wikiproject! Currently there is a discussion which will decide whether wikipedia will delete 49,000 articles about a living person without references, here:
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Biographies of living people
Since biographies of living people covers so many topics, nearly all wikiproject topics will be effected.
The two opposing positions which have the most support is:
Comments are welcome. Keep in mind that by default, editor's comments are hidden. Simply press edit next to the section to add your comment.
Please keep in mind that at this point, it seems that editors support deleting unreferenced article if they are not sourced, so your project may want to pursue the projects below.
If you don't already have this and are interested in creating a list of articles which need cleanup for your wikiproject see: Cleanup listings A list of examples is here
If you are interested in moving unreferenced blp articles to a special "incubation page", contact me, User talk:Ikip
If you are interested in watchlisting all of the unreferenced articles once you install Cleanup_listings, contact me, User talk:Ikip

I've noticed that there has been continuing addition and removal of the link to the Star Wars sequel trilogy on the {{ Star Wars}} template, and others. Since there has been quite a few deletion discussions on this article, including whether this article should exist or not, I am wondering where the article stands with this project. Should there be something done about it, and if so what? -- The Taerkasten ( talk) 20:38, 26 January 2010 (UTC)
What is the projects feeling on pop culture sections? I know, SW is pop culture, but I'm referring to things like the pop culture section recently added to Tatoonie, which is mainly a bunch of mentions from cartoons etc. Niteshift36 ( talk) 20:49, 1 March 2010 (UTC)
I notice that characters appearing in the movies without obvious 'alien-like' body/face features, tend to get classified as Species Human (e.g. Luke Skywalker etc). As the Star Wars Universe is famously set 'A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away', how can this classification be justified? The Human wiki page refers to us, ie. Homo-sapiens, native to planet Earth and is discordant with the series' extra galactic frameworkl? If this is the wrong place to discuss this (or if it has already been discussed) please advise.

Based on offsite collusion, a comment I left on his talk page, as well as a reasoning I used to oppose a similar extensive and controversial move, Heavydata ( talk · contribs) will probably soon be requesting that every Star Wars article that uses the naming format "Star Wars Episode #: Subtitle" to "Star Wars: Episode # Subtitle" because the official Star Wars website uses the latter name formatting and Wikipedia uses the former in order to make a point.— Ryūlóng ( 竜龙) 10:52, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
It doesn't seem like anything is going to come of this except more accusations, so i'm archiving it now. These aren't the droids you're looking for, move along, etc. The Wordsmith Communicate 16:11, 19 March 2010 (UTC)
Category:Star Wars has several sub categories; but none for ...people (which could include writers and crew) or ...actors. I think it should. Anyone disagree? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 15:11, 7 April 2010 (UTC)

An example of a book cover, taken from Book:Hadronic Matter |
As detailed in last week's Signpost, WikiProject Wikipedia books is undertaking a cleanup all Wikipedia books. Particularly, the {{ saved book}} template has been updated to allow editors to specify the default covers of the books. Title, subtitle, cover-image, and cover-color can all be specified, and an HTML preview of the cover will be generated and shown on the book's page (an example of such a cover is found on the right). Ideally, all books in Category:Book-Class Star Wars articles should have covers.
If you need help with the {{ saved book}} template, or have any questions about books in general, see Help:Books, Wikipedia:Books, and Wikipedia:WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, or ask me on my talk page. Also feel free to join WikiProject Wikipedia-Books, as we need all the help we can get.

Anyone else going to Celebration V? Niteshift36 ( talk) 01:36, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
FYI, I've redirected all the Clone Wars (2008 TV series) articles to the List of episodes. They were overwhelmingly laden with "trivia and details" sections, OR, giant swaths of plot summary ... and nothing about critical reaction, development, etc. etc. -- EEMIV ( talk) 03:15, 18 May 2010 (UTC)
There are some moons and planets that in recent years might be notable enough for an article based on their appearances through out Star Wars media and their notability amongst fans. They are:
