==RN's
I didn't see any improvements in it, and neither did Silence, apparently. I think it's most important that we treat it as an individual title first, and then make reference to its place in the series. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 20:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
==FFX FAR==
I obviously think it's wonderful as it is, but more than that, I certainly don't think we should extend an invitation to these political guys to argue out the matter while they use our work to make an example one way or the other. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 21:54, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
:To clarify, I think we should leave well enough alone and only worry about it if somebody makes an issue out of it. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 22:00, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
Where was this? And why? It's not like we didn't follow his suggestions. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 22:05, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
::Well, if you're concerned about it, go ahead and do what you think is best. I'd rather you feel comfortable about it, though I still think it might be an unnecessary invitation to the inclusionists and deletionists. As mergists, we see the futility of such disagreements, but the same can't be said for everybody. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 22:10, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
:::So how does this minor review thing work? Oh, and thanks for stopping by FFX-2. I think most of it's ready to go. The Gameplay section is still to be done. I saved it for last because I wasn't looking forward to it. D: But I've also got to get some development info. I should be able to find something. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 00:56, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
::::I see. So, should we be concerned? 01:02, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
==Editing RPG party?==
Aye. XD The scenery in our party's not half as nice, though. No offense, of course. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 01:05, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
:Actually, my hair's only about shoulder-length. If I let it get any longer, it looks kind of awkward. Try imagining [[Russell Crowe]]'s hair in ''[[The Quick and the Dead]]''. And, yeah, I also disagree with Flooch's edits. Like, a lot. I'm going to get something to eat before addressing anything, though. Feel free to field this one. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 01:09, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
::At the very least, the musical score needs to be above the Reception section. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 01:10, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Cool. You got it, I see. I'm fine with the changes he made to the merchandise section, though. Looks better, actually. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 01:18, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
::::Nah, I don't tie it back. It doesn't feel right to me and doesn't really look right either, I keep it at just enough of a length that it doesn't really get in the way like this either.
::::When I was younger, I never had it long, but as I got older, I tried it out and found that I like it, but that it's also a lot more to take care of. Which is another good reason not to let it get much longer. But I'm sure you know as well as I. XD [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 01:30, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
==FFX TFA issues==
Hey, Tyler, Flooch just pointed out to me that [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Today%27s_featured_article/July_19%2C_2006 the TFA] page has some rather redundant wording. I changed it on the main FFX page, but -- being that the TFAs are fully protected -- well... I don't suppose you could work your magic, could you? [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 01:38, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
==FFX-2 progress==
Thought I'd let you know that X-2's good to go on everything but the gameplay. I might wait until tomorrow to work on that, though. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 03:25, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
::Hey. Could you give me some advice on what to do with the Gameplay section of X-2? Really, I'm dreading doing it at all because I hate the Gameplay sections, but I was htinking that the list of dresspheres is kind of poor quality and that it should prosified somehow. What do you think? [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 19:31, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
==FF6 FA push discussion==
I could use some help from you guys. I am looking to expand the plot section, similar to the FF8 version. I've added a setting section like you said, but it looks like the Plot section needs to be longer. Any help with what to add? I was thinking we could submit this and FFVIII together. [[User:Crazyswordsman|Crazyswordsman]] 21:11, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
:If you've got it in you to do a lot tonight, try. Somebody's gone ahead and nominated it for Peer Review prematurely. I'd never ever do that until we all could look at the page and go "Yeah, it's good" like with FFVIII. We'll just have to make the best of it and work fast. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 02:39, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
::By the way, if you can focus on gameplay, I'll try to take care of the other stuff below. I just hate gameplay sections, so if you're indifferent... XD [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 02:40, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
== Chicago Bears FA push discussion ==
I've worked on this article for months and have previously nominated it for feature status twice only for it to be rejected. I would like your help since you were apart of the Patriots FA article to check out the [[Chicago Bears]] article and tell me what other improvements should be made to this article. --[[User:Happyman22|Happyman22]] 22:36, 16 July 2006 (UTC)
**Like what in your opinion should be merged with the history section. If you ask me, I like the outline of [[Arsenal F.C.]] article better than the [[New England Patriots]] article so that is why the [[Chicago Bears]] article is modeled after it, and that is why I'm against merging many of the sections together.
***How did [[Arsenal F.C.]] pass then? Did it have to same objections? --[[User:Happyman22|Happyman22]] 02:50, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

::::Hey, thanks. And, nope. I was supposed to be one last year, but the person I was "filling in" for kind of took an extended leave, so I was there for six months of the school year's nine, pretty much doing everything they would have been. It pretty much became official that they weren't coming back, and so I'll be full time as of next month. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 02:46, 18 July 2006 (UTC)

==FFVIII==
Does the Story section really need expanding? I can see maybe adding mention of ''Chocobo World'' to Gameplay, but I'm not sure what we're really missing from the story. I think the Characters info could use more personality info, though. I'll take care of that. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 12:38, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
:That's the same edit that Silence had us make to FFX, though. I think it's probably better that way. Their personalities are more important than what weapons they carry, at least as far as a Character section goes. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 16:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
::Any thoughts yet on the character stuff? I really feel like it adds more than the impersonal weapon stuff. Tells you more important stuff about them. I figured after doing that for FFX, that's what we were going to do for all of them, so I gave it to not just FFVIII, but FFVI and FFX-2 when I was working on those as well. Take a look at each of them and you'll see what I mean, I think. It tells the reader a great deal more than they would otherwise get. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 23:06, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
:::Aye. Hopefully, though, Worldtraveller will realize that there can't be a universal approach to something like this. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 01:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
::::Okay, I semi-snapped on Worldtraveller, though I managed to prevent using any curse words as I normally would. Nonetheless, I'm considering upping my wikistress level. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 02:08, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
:::::By the way, opinions on the character personality stuff yet? Silence had a great idea with that, I think. [[User:Ryu Kaze|Ryu Kaze]] 02:13, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

== Libya ==
Hi,
I've recently added [[Libya]] to the list of featured article candidates. Overall the candidature is going well with many of the objections now sorted out. The final concrete objection is with the article's prose. I have been the main contributor to the article and have been looking at it for the previous 9 - 10 months. My eyes no longer see it freshly, so I am not a suitable copy-editor!
To meet the final demand of copy editing, I have been advised to ask different people to edit parts of the article.
I would really love to get this article featured as you can probably see from the page's history! I've worked very hard on it and I see this as possibly being the final hurdle.
You can see the prose objections, mostly raised by [[User:SandyGeorgia|Sandy]], on the [[Wikipedia:Featured_article_candidates/Libya|candidature page]]. If you have the time, please choose a section (Politics, Religion, Culture etc.) and <s>copyedit<s>, <s>perfect<s>, ace it! I would be very grateful with any help I can get.
Thanks a lot,
--[[User:Jaw101ie|Jaw101ie]] 16:47, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
==Question about Canon & Star Wars WikiProject==
I have a question about some of the statements on the [[WP:WPSTAR|Star Wars Wikiproject]] projectpage. The intro states that the project covers "''Star Wars'' materials (canon and non-canon)", yet there is a section on the page called "Canonicity" that states: "Fanfiction, speculation, and non-canon are '''not''' permitted and will be deleted, per Wikipedia policy and this WikiProject." This is sort of contradictory and I think the statement in the intro is the most useful. In some cases, it is not possible to attain a certain level of comprehensiveness without discussing a character or idea's development without looking at non-canon sources (an example of this is in the [[Jabba the Hutt#Star Wars literature|Jabba the Hutt]] article in the SW literature section).
Also, I have seen editors argue over pictures in articles because of canonicity. For example, a few months ago [[:Image:The Emperor.JPG|a picture of the Palpatine]] from the original ''Empire Strikes Back'' was removed from the Palpatine article because it was "not canon" (I swear I saw this somewhere, but I've looked back and couldn't find the discussion; the picture was removed by a user [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Palpatine&diff=44742559&oldid=44742418 March 21, 2006]). I personally thought this was an important picture because it showed the history of the appearance of the character: yeah, Palpatine was originally an old woman with chimpanzee eyes! Still, there is a discussion of this nature on the Jabba the Hutt talk page. Well anyway, I'm just wondering what you think about all this. [[User:Dmoon1|Dmoon1]] 02:23, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
:So far as I can tell, the SW WikiProject quietly makes an exception for notable fanfiction films, and allows discussion of Infinities and similar level of canonicity things (see [[Darth Maul]] and its history for that sort of thing). --[[User:Marudubshinki |maru]] [[User talk:Marudubshinki| (talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Marudubshinki | contribs]]
It's a tough subject to find boundaries on; I just tried to clarify it on the project page. — '''[[User:Deckiller|Deckill]][[User:Deckiller/EA|<font color="green">e</font>]][[User talk:Deckiller|r]]''' 03:49, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
:Yeah. You been following the argument raging over whether to include the ST-vs-SW.net external link? Good example. --[[User:Marudubshinki |maru]] [[User talk:Marudubshinki| (talk)]] [[Special:Contributions/Marudubshinki | contribs]] 03:54, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

:::Your clarification looks great. My concern was that someone might try to remove good information (not speculation or non-notable fanfiction) from articles simply because it is not recognized as canon. [[User:Dmoon1|Dmoon1]] 04:29, 21 July 2006 (UTC)
