Talk:List of Star Wars creatures

message: I think that some of the info on the thranta actually regards the aiwha. The aiwha being the flying whales the Kaminoans ride. Check the databank at the official site to get some stuff cleared up...--FigmentJedi 02:10, 9 May 2005 (UTC)

thread_title:  Note to anyone intending on splitting off a section 

message: I removed the following from the Sarlacc section because it is almost completely nonsensical and I couldn't make enough out of it to fix it.
:This doesn't happen quickly for a Stormtrooper's dewback was the first thing Carkoon's dart pod was hit, it was pulled off when the Stormtrooper payed to take care of it for the night. Sarlaccs can grow VERY rapidly from this state.

message: I've gone through this entire article and cleaned every listing up, pretty much. Now, the only thing I'd like to do to this article is add some pictures interspersed through it; but I don't know where to get them from. Anyone have any suggestions? –Dvandersluis 12:40, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Dude, damn good job on all that. Not sure where to get pics on everything except from the films (not possible for some), but I at least wanted to let you know you'd done a good job. EVula 14:49, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks! :) –Dvandersluis 15:48, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: Good work with the cleanup; it'll keep the list afloat until we create a general encyclopedic article on Star Wars creatures, in which case we can split a couple of these if they warrent their own article. — Deckiller 17:04, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Major cleanup completed 

message: As I just finished cleaning up this (very long) article, I figured I'd give a quick list of the guidelines I went by in order for people adding new creatures to the list to be able to keep them in the same style as everything should be now. Please feel free to dispute my suggestions (if you've got a better one ;), or to add on.
#Ensure that there isn't already an entry for the creature you want to add, or that there isn't another in a (slightly) different name. If the names are significantly varied, create a "See ___" entry pointing to the existing one (for instance, Mutated rats).
#Creatures are obviously separated by letter, and also organized alphabetically within a section. Add new entries to the right place! :)
#Each creature's write-up should have the creature's name in the first sentence, bolded (but only the first time).
#Creature names are only capitalized if a word within them is a proper noun. In sentences, the creature names are generally lowercased (think: horses or Horses?). Creatures with proper names as part of their names are like Mustafar lava fleas.
#Write the entry in present tense, not past tense. While Star Wars events happened a "long, long time ago," it is current in that it exists now.

thread_title:  Guidelines for adding new creatures 

message: I've gone through all the planets mentioned in this article, and added a brief write-up in the appropriate List of Star Wars planets page, if not already there. There are four planets I could not find information for, however:
*Hethar (referenced in List of Star Wars creatures#Gront)
*Relkass (List of Star Wars creatures#Draagax)
*Poiu-Trewq (List of Star Wars creatures#Gundark)
*Wyndigal II (List of Star Wars creatures#Croator)
If anyone knows anything about those planets, please add them to the appropriate page! –Dvandersluis 17:59, 26 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Linked planets 

message: There should not be two paragraph entries on Star Wars creatures; such entries should be placed within this list and compressed. Obviously, creatures like Rancors and even Banthas should probably be given their own articles (with OUT OF UNIVERSE priority), but Eopies and such don't merit their own entries on a general interest, out of universe source like Wikipedia. — Deckiller 23:59, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

thread_title:  Dewback incorrect 

message: Tauntauns are 2.5 m (7.0 ft) tall bipeds 
2.5 m is actually about 8 ft 4 in. I'd edit but I don't know which is right. http://www.starwars.com/databank/creature/tauntaun/ says 2 m tall at the shoulder, I guess in the film I'd say they look probably 2-2.5 m in total, which is no help because 7ft is 2.125 m. I'll leave this with the experts. MrAngy 16:35, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Judge me by my size do you? 

message: The article was filled with 18 instances of someone's attempt at formatting a citation using the "ref name" multiple citation tag.  Specifically, the  tag.  FYI, in order to use that tag, the first instance of it has to specify the exact source (whether it's a book, website, etc.) in between the  and  brackets.  Only in subsequent uses of that same source can you merely use the ref name tag.  But whoever left this tag in there never did this.  The result was a "no text citation error" listed where Source #1 should've been in the References section. I replaced these bad tags with citation tags.  If anyone knows what "CotG" is, please write out the source in its first use in the article, and then replace the other 17 instances with this "CotG" tag.  Thanks.

message: A new user, User:Arumadura, added the listing for Foub, citing Creatures of the Galaxy. There's no information online about this creature. Arumadura's only other contribution was vandalism, so I suspect he made the foub up. Does anyone have access to "Creatures of the Galaxy", and can you confirm whether it lists the foub? – Quadell (talk) (random) 16:26, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Since Wookiepedia doesn't list the foub, I'm removing it. If I'm wrong, let me know. – Quadell (talk) (random) 16:28, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Foub 

message: The edit about womp rats and Family Guy doesn't seem to be very relevant. If we put EVERY outside reference to EVERY one of these creatures, the article would probably be twice as long as it already is, and it's been under heavy debate already because it's too long. Not only that, but Family Guy targets referencing movies and the media, and it's pretty poorly written, too. Now I'm fairly new to the whole 'what goes on the wiki' thing (I have some outer experience from hrwiki.org, which is actually pretty similar to wikipedia) so I'm not absolutely sure on this seemingly extremely simple problem. Should I just delete it, because it seems to fit a lot the basic criteria for deletion. Iron Maiden7 (talk) 02:08, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

thread_title:  Banthas 

message: Look, I understand that having a page for neek in an encyclopedia, is not approved of. We need a disabiguation page which says something like:
A neek can refer to:
A nerd, who is also a geek
A fictional species in the Starwars series.
I mean, do we redirrect the word Nerd to "If I Ran the Zoo" or the word geek to idiot, because in shakespears time it meant that? No, we use what the word means now, and now it mean nerd and geek. 94.195.20.56 (talk) 17:04, 8 August 2010 (UTC)
