Talk:Characters of the Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic series

message: Is this an article to show the list of characters that appear in the KotOR video games or the entire series, which would include the characters that appear in the comic series? If so, shouldn't they be included in the article too?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.156.11.4 (talk) 08:51, 20 September 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Article contents

message: I see Mission Vao, Zaalbar and some other of the group here, while, for instance, Visas Marr and Juhani have their own entry. What is the reason behind this? Texcarson 19:05, 28 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Because some characters have significant background and canonical material written about them to justify a separate entry.  I would seriously question your merging of real articles into this collection of stubs... to the point of reverting them if there is no other opposition. Palaeologus 08:44, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

text: You're right. It is too long. It's currently in the middle of being rewritten for brevity and encyclopedic style. Please don't hamper this effort by demerging the characters. - A Man In Bl♟ck (conspire | past ops) 07:09, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

message: :Image:Atton Rand.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in Wikipedia articles constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page.  Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

message: I think HK-47 should be merged here just for consistency, but of course it would need a major cut. — Texcarson 00:48, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: HK-47

message: This is my first wiki page that I have edited so I was hoping someone could look over what I added and make sure I made the correct edits and that the pictures I uploaded conformed to proper licensing practices here on Wiki.
Also Bao-Dur doesn't have a character box. I added one and it worked but it pushed Jolee way down and crossed the divider line and thus looked a little reckless. Could someone tell me why that happens and how to avoid it? Or could someone add the box and then I will edit it and add the image?
For complete sake the characters I edited were:
* Visas Marr - Added image
* Dark Nihilus - Added image
* Darth Scion - Added image
* Canderous Ordo - Added image from KotOR II (Canderous as Mandalore)
Tried to add Bao-Dur but encountered the above problems so I took out my changes and put the original back together.
I have recently been revisiting these games and would like to add character images for as many characters as I can since I have tons of saves in both KotOR games. Is that ok?
Thanks. -

replies: text: Please note that those images you have uploaded might be deleted in the near future because they don't qualify for "fair use" (too long to explain why). — Texcarson 19:54, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for creating the box. It still pushs Jolee down and past the dividing line but I guess that is just the way it is. I will research "fair use" and try to set the images right. Thanks - FomarsWiki (talk) 20:23, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

text: There is this long page, Wikipedia:Non-free content, which explains what fair use is and how it should be applied. Apparently having more than one fair use image on a single page is a violation of copyright, so some of your images might be removed in the future. In fact there were images to represent all the characters but were deleted some months ago, i believe. — Texcarson 20:34, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the heads up. I removed all the images from the pages. I read the page you linked to as well as the copyright FAQ and several other documents pertaining to posting images. The whole thing seems greek to me. I can't seem to grasp why a free fan site or a business site (like GameSpy) devoted to a game can use these images by giving credit where credit is due (copyright info) but a free information site can't. I did see that I posted in the wrong format. I should have used PNG it seems. I looked at the Kreia inset image as well and tried to use that as a template. Despite not spelling out why my images are usable (the list towards the middle of the page) mine seemed to conform to the same standards as that one. I just thought it would be a nice addition. I will back off from it and hopefully find just a simple example. I must say it is a bummer though. I was pretty pumped about being able to add to something I like so much. Thanks for the quick replies. -- FomarsWiki (talk) 21:04, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: You can also ask EEMIV, he's dealing with these pages as well, so he might know more. — Texcarson 21:12, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

text:  And it is appreciated. =) I saw that some character shots were removed but I thought it might be a case of just documenting them wrong so I tried mine as well. Looks like I read that wrong. I think part of my bewilderment is due to the fact I am brand new at this and find it to be overwhelming. I did post a message for EEMIV. Thanks for passing that name on. -- FomarsWiki (talk) 21:36, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

message: The image :Image:Carth model.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.  In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page.  Please check
:* That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
:* That this article is linked to from the image description page.

thread_title:  I applaud EEMIV for merging all the seperate entries for all the characters... 

message: I'm working on amalgamating this and all the other god-awful lists at :Category:Lists_of_Star_Wars_characters to remove all the ORish and arbitrary topics (i.e. what makes a character a "villain"? what if he/she later is "good"?) and repetition (e.g. Leia shows up on several of them). Once I've squished them together, they can be broken up just alphabetically like the slightly-less-crappy Star Trek character lists. I've copy-and-pasted these lists as of ~11:30EST 3 Oct -- if you make any additions to this list, I'll try to be sure to maintain them in the reworked version, but please be mindful that something might accidentally be overlooked. Thanks! --EEMIV (talk) 15:40, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Revamp

message: I plan on Monday to replace the current content of List of Star Wars characters with the material at User:EEMIV/StarWarsCharacters, and then to redirect this page to that updated list. Much of the content on this page will go away -- for the better. Wikipedia is an indiscriminate collection of information, even on its list pages, and many of the entries were are truly insignificant characters. If you take exception to this plan, please say so here. --EEMIV (talk) 11:20, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
