I have also begun with merging some of the char lists into the Race articles, but I'll leave those lists for you to merge that you have worked on (i.e. the Genii and the Wraith). The Jaffa and the Ancients should/could only be merged when their Race articles are trimmed first, but I am currently not in the mood to do that. The Goa'uld char list can likely stand on its own, and I am making some progress with the Tau'ri char lists and will see where that leads us. – sgeureka ^t•c 15:37, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

When you merge articles, you should also fix so-called double redirects (Wikipedia:Double redirects; you can find them easily via "What links here" in the lefthand toolbar, then click on "Hide links"). A bot used to do that, but I haven't seen it around for ages. In the meantime, fair-use rationales on non-free images do not recognize double-redirect backlinks, and the images are placed in deletion categories sometimes within hours. – sgeureka ^t•c 22:44, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I'm interested in the stargate wikiproject but don't know how to help. I'm an avid fan and all but can't find anything that really pops out and says "Do something!" Could you help me?Kosh3 (talk) 21:13, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Currently most of the work is focused on removing excess plot detail and consolidating non-notable articles into larger, less non-notable articles (there are merge proposals and other details on the Wikiproject main and talk pages). A lot has been accomplished on that front with regards to the character pages, while a lot of articles in other areas remain bloated with trivial facts and speculation (especially in technology articles, which tend to be more prone to that sort of thing than most). There also needs to be copyediting to present tense (used in fiction) and to remove in-universe POV. Of course, what would be incredibly useful at any time is contributions of sourced real-world information. Hope that helps. -- Yzx (talk) 21:41, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

If you propose a merger instead of performing a

Yzx, I don't think that some of your recent edits, such as changes of redirect targets for Asgard technology topics, should have been classed as 'minor edits'. There is not any hard rule about this, though. You might have your preferences set to designated edits as minor by default, a setting I would suggest your reconsidering if this is your pref setting.

		The Editor's Barnstar
		Thank you for de-cruftifying so many Stargate technology- and Atlantis-releated articles. These are pages I would not have been able to edit due to lack of (in-universe) knowledge and interest. – sgeureka t•c 07:58, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks! Glad to be of help. -- Yzx (talk) 17:28, 10 August 2008 (UTC)

...the character articles need a lot of plot trimming. (I'll be doing an initial trim on McKay and Sheppard in a minute.) Every character will require different sections, but I've found a general sectioning like in Homer Simpson or Vala Mal Doran to work well. Encyclopedic expansion can follow later and will not be the/my focus any time soon for most of them. Just a suggestion if you don't know what to do with your time. :-) – sgeureka ^t•c 20:39, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Most of those articles are a mess. There's almost no real-world info in them, and trimming the plot down to acceptable levels won't leave much. Still, I'll work some on it when I have time. -- Yzx (talk) 04:45, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

I imagine if everything is said and done (if I can keep up the enthusiasm to get them all to Good Article level), no character article should have more than maybe 7 (preferably 3-5) paragraphs sourced entirely from primary sources. If it turns out that some characters like Jonas, Lt. Ford and George Hammond neither have enough in-universe information nor real-world information to grow beyond non-crufty stubs, it may be time to think about a different representation again (as always, that's too early to tell). – sgeureka ^t•c 07:18, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 05:07, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

I've reviewed the DYK and confirmed it, but there is a small thing. The article doesn't clearly state that this is the only method or the only wavelength this animal can perceive. A little rewording in the article would help. - Mgm|^(talk) 11:13, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
