Welcome to the Wikipedia
Welcome, newcomer!

Here are some useful tips to ease you into the Wikipedia experience:

 * First, take a look at the Wikipedia Tutorial, and perhaps dabble a bit in the test area.
 * When you have some free time, take a look at the Manual of Style and Policies and Guidelines. They can come in very handy!
 * Remember to use a neutral point of view!
 * If you need any help, feel free to post a question at the Help Desk
 * Explore, be bold in editing pages, and, most importantly, have fun!

Also, here are some odds and ends that I find useful from time to time:

 * Policy Library
 * Utilities
 * Cite your sources
 * Verifiability
 * Wikiquette
 * Civility
 * Conflict resolution
 * Brilliant prose
 * Pages needing attention
 * Peer review
 * Bad jokes and other deleted nonsense
 * Village pump
 * Boilerplate text

Feel free to ask me anything the links and talk pages don't answer. You can most easily reach me by posting on my talk page.

You can sign your name on any page by typing 4 tildes, likes this: ~~~~.

Best of luck, and have fun!

Please write summaries
When editing an article on Wikipedia there is a small field labelled "Edit summary" under the main edit-box. It looks like this: The text written here will appear on the Recent changes page, in the page revision history, on the diff page, and in the watchlists of users who are watching that article. See m:Help:Edit summary for full information on this feature. When you leave the edit summary blank, some of your edits could be mistaken for vandalism and may be reverted, so please always briefly summarize your edits, especially when you are making subtle but important changes, like changing dates or numbers. Thank you. - Eagletalk 07:53, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

"It is often cited as the longest continuous straight corridor in the world."
If it is "often cited," could you supply one of those citations? I'm personally skeptical... I'd have thought the Pentagon had longer corridors. Anyway, per the verifiability policy, I'm requesting that you supply a published source for this. Dpbsmith (talk) 20:15, 14 March 2006 (UTC)

Degenerate matrix
Hi Jitse, I couldn't find any reference for zero row or column matrix you mentioned in degenerate matrix. Can you point a definition? Why is it useful? physicistjedi 23:39, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

 * If I remember correctly, I saw the one-line article you created, and I thought that it was odd, as I did not remember ever seeing this term. In fact, I thought "degenerate matrix" referred to a matrix with degenerate eigenvalues (eigenvalues with multiplicity greater than 1). However, when looking for references, I could not find any quickly; instead, I found references for the zero rows / columns meaning. Embarrassingly, I don't remember the reference (I didn't write it because degenerate matrix is a disambiguation page, though I now regret this). The only reference I can find now is the first Google hit for "degenerate matrix", which says: "Like all definitions so far, they even work for degenerate matrices with no rows and no columns" . However, it seems the common name is "empty matrix". It is not very important, but useful in the same way as the empty sum and the empty product. There is even an article about it.
 * In view of this information, I made degenerate matrix into a redirect to invertible matrix. Thanks for keeping an eye on me! Cheers, Jitse Niesen (talk) 07:25, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia'yı genel olarak kullanışlı bir bilgi kaynağı olarak görmeme karşın Türkiye ile ilgili birçok konuda Batılı(!) bir önyargı olduğunu üzülerek görüyorum. Ermeni sorununun ya da Kıbrıs konusunun tartışmalı olmasını doğal karşılamak gerek ancak PKK ile ilgili maddeler sürekli engelleniyor; (zaten var olan) terör kurbanları kategorisi altında PKK tarafından öldürülen sivillere (öncelikle öğretmenlere) yer vermeye çalışıyorum ancak PKK'nın terörist olara nitelendirilmesi bile engelleniyor. Bu konuda yardımlarınızı bekliyorum. bkz:User talk:Cool Cat Yasemin Tekin    --Hattusili 07:00, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't think that your stub is very appropriate here. It's probably more to do with Judaism than Christianity, and Orthodox Jews would take great exception to you labelling it as a Christian thing. Maybe tag it Old-Testiment-Stub if there is one. jmd 02:05, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Hi, Can you keep an eye on the Turkey article? Some anti-Turkish chauvanists are trying to insert some extremely POV sentences about Turkey's history on there, concerning armenians, the cyprus operation etc. This has been going on for some time now. Thank you.--Kilhan 17:03, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

İlham Əliyev
Hi,

In Talk:İlham Əliyev you write : "As a side note: Safari browser does not show the title properly even in UTF-8 mode, Firefox for Mac does." It is not true. I use Mac OS X and Safari since it exists, and I've never had a problem with such letters as "Ə". The title is perfectly displayed by Safari, by Firefox and by Wikipedia Dashboard.

Category renaming
To rename a category: These actions are usually done by a bot, but it may take some time (there's some backlog), and everyone's welcome to assist. Conscious 07:37, 15 July 2006 (UTC)
 * 1) Copy-paste category description to the new location. It's best to list authors of the old category in the edit summary.
 * 2) Edit all articles in the category to reflect the rename.
 * 3) Delete the old category (requires an admin).
 * 4) Move talk page, if any (requires an admin).

References section
Hi, this is just to let you know that removing a References section and changing it to External links creates confusion as to what was, and wasn't, used as a reference. Better in future to create a separate Further reading section for anything extra you want to add. See WP:CITE. Cheers, SlimVirgin (talk) 15:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Article to be looked into
May I bring to your attention the Turkification article. There seems to be an edit war involving a couple of Greek users who seem all the too-eager to insert some highly POVish statements. It seems that there are unable to comprehend the scope of the article and Im unable to revert for fear of breaking the 3RR. Would you take a look over there and reason? Thanks in advance:)--Kilhan 12:48, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

A heads up
Just a head up: a somewhat annoyed user left me a message on my talk page that I think was intended for you. It reads as follows:
 * Sir, You delete my factual information (not the fan quotations; I didn't do that) on the Yeni Turku page (in English) and claim it's a "cleanup," then leave obvious grammatical errors: "best-known band," "since the establishment," et cetera. I find this incongruous.  What say you? Sincerely, Warren1968 00:58, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

I let him know that he was pointing fingers at the wrong guy, so it's only a matter of time until he realizes his error. Have fun! – ClockworkSoul 05:22, 26 November 2006 (UTC)

still, the grammatical errors persisted on your revision

Kaptan-ı Derya and Kaptan Pasha
Hello Jedi! I am taking the initiative of renaming Kaptan-ı Derya article into Kaptan Pasha. As you can see from the Turkish Naval Forces page here (http://www.dzkk.tsk.mil.tr/english/Tarihce/DonanmaKomutanligi.asp), Kaptan-ı Derya became a pasha shortly after the institution of the rank (as of Fatih), with both terms (Kaptan-ı Derya and Kaptan Pasha) used concurrently afterwards. Kaptan Pasha will make easier read in English, although it is important to also include the historic spelling of Kapudan Pasha. I am opening an article on the full list as well, to be copied from the Turkish wikipedia. Please get back to me if you comments. Cretanforever 11:34, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

 Thanks for uploading Image:Timur Selcuk 1972.jpg. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, the image is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the image was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

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.

Motto of the day
Hello, I notice you're using one of the motd templates, run by Motto of the day. You may have noticed that some of the mottos recently have been followed by a date from 2006, or on occasion simply "Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia". The reason for this is that Motto of the day is in some very serious need of help. Participation in the project, which has never been especially high, has dropped considerably over this past summer, to the point we have had several days where no motto was scheduled to appear at all. Over the past several weeks, I've been the only editor scheduling mottos at all, but there aren't enough comments on some of these mottos to justify their use. If we do not get some help - and soon - your daily mottos will stop. In order for us to continue updating these templates for you, we need your help.

When you get a chance between your normal editing, could you stop by our nominations page and leave a few comments on some of the mottos there, especially those that do not have any comments yet? This works very simply; you read a motto, decide whether or not you like it, and post your opinion just below the motto. That's it - no experience required, just an idea of what you personally like and what you feel reflects Wikipedia and its community. If you do have past experience with the project, then please close some of the older nominations once they've got a decent consensus going. There are directions on the nominations page on how to do this.

If you have any questions, please let me know, or post on the project's talk page. I'm looking forward to reading your comments on the suggested mottos, and any additional suggestions you'd like to make. Until then, happy editing! Hers fold  (t/a/c) 01:40, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi, and first of all, sorry for bothering you. :) I needed a little translation from a native speaker of Turkish, so I randomly selected you from the category (and you seem like a nice guy according to your user page). :P All I need is an at least rough translation of the lyrics of the song Katula Katula by Davut Güloglu, which can be found here.

Hahaha, it's very catchy and it's exactly the way I perceive Turkish fun (the melody, I think, not the lyrics). :D I already asked a friend who knows some Turkish, but he said 'wtf is this', so I believe the lyrics are really nonsense, but on account of being so damn funky! Thanks a lot my friend, you made my day! :D Cheers! --iNkubusse? 18:17, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

spin
Ello there, DonaldET3 here.

I hope Physicistjedi is in the mood for English, because that the only language I can read or write.

Anyway, the point of this section: spin. I was just exploring Wikipedia when I came by an article about this thing called a "Hydrogen atom". Looking down the list of nuclide data, I understood everything except the concept of "spin". Just "spin = 1/2+", no units. It appears to be a measurable quantity, but units are required to measure something. The article on "spin" did not help. 1/2 what, hertz? Is this a measurement of time? Can Physicistjedi help me, or is this a chemistry question? DonaldET3 (talk) 20:45, 18 June 2011 (UTC)

Space pirate

Space pirates are a type of stock character from science fiction. A take on the traditional seafaring pirates of history or the fictional air pirates of the 19th century, space pirates travel through outer space. Where traditional pirates target sailing ships, space pirates serve a similar role in sci-fi media: they capture and plunder spacecraft for cargo, loot and occasionally steal spacecraft, and kill or enslave the crewmembers and passengers.

In science fiction
The archetype evolved from the air pirate trope popular from the turn of the century until the 1920s. By the 1930s, space pirates were recurring villains in the Buck Rogers comic strip. However, their dress and speech may vary; it may correspond to the particular author's vision of the future, rather than their seafaring precursors. On the other hand, space pirates may be modeled after stereotypical sea pirates. They may be humans who originate from Earth or a specific race of aliens. Space pirates are common in space opera and soft science fiction, including within Japanese anime narratives and erotica.

1920s to the 1960s
In 1925, Hugo Gernsback's science fiction novel, Ralph 124C 41+ featured a space pirate as a character. The book centers around a love story between the protagonist, Ralph and a civil scientist, with a space pirate from Mars also "vying for her affections," part of the scientific speculation of the novel itself. Around the same time, author Henry Edward Warner, who composed his poems which were assembled in a 1929 book, Songs of the Craft, began writing various poems, including some about the "so-called space pirate." Six years later, in November 1935, Stanley G. Weinbaum's novella, The Red Peri appeared in the science fiction magazine Astounding Stories. In the novel, the primary character, Peri, is a space pirate who has a base on the Moon. The novel was praised for imaginative backgrounds, although its romance was considered to be at the level of "shopgirl pulps," and writing which leaves "much to be desired," David Bowman's helmetless spacewalk in 2001: A Space Odyssey was inspired by Frank Keene's escape from the pirate base in the novel. Following this, in 1940, Jack Williamson's story Hindsight, a space opera, included a character named Astrarch. He was a space pirate and dictator of the solar system, with the story focusing on an attempt by those on Earth to break free of his shackles.

The 1950s brought with it a blossoming of science fiction, including a focus on computers, space travel, and outer space in general. This included Murray Leinster's novel, The Pirates of Zan, which included a "space pirate much like his typical maritime counterpart in appearance." Alfred Bester said that it wasn't until Astounding Stories was rescued from an "abyss of space pirates, mad scientists" that he was able to go back to the publication.

By 1969 there was a turn to outer space on television, with heroes changing from cowboys to "Space-Pirate-Cowboys." One year after Turner patented his game, Stanislaw Lem published The Cyberiad, a book in which two constructors named Trurl and Klapaucius are "captured by a space pirate who pillages and hoards information." In order to be freed from him, they build something which interprets "the movement of air molecules as information" and the pirate underestimates how much information is within the movement, and he is buried in a "mountain of paper filled with useless information." Later in the 1960s, six episodes of the sixth season of the live-action television show Doctor Who featured a gang of space pirates, with the galaxy being described as spanned by a game between those who enforce the law and pirates like Dervish and Caven who will "apparently stop at nothing to continue their lucrative racket."

1970s to the 1990s
In the 1977 film Star Wars, the character Han Solo, who helps Luke Skywalker on his journey, is often described as a space pirate, being a smuggler and a rogue who will flee conflict despite his bravado. The same year, Leiji Matsumoto created the iconic manga series Space Pirate Captain Harlock. The character of Captain Harlock is a "mysterious space pirate captain" fighting to protect the world, which some saw as an homage to samurais, and the stories would inspire many other characters in the years to come. Some said that Captain Harlock "set the template for anime’s "space pirate" archetype." In 1978, Daniel C. Dennett proposed a philosophical question where a viewer would have to answer three questions correctly in order to "save the world from a space pirate." The following year, the first book in Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series featured space pirates. In the story, Ford Prefect, a main character, explains that the trade routes between the center of the galaxy and outer areas were disrupted in the past by space pirates, but that they were "wiped out in the Dordellis wars," with freighter ships equipped with huge space ships thereafter. Adams also wrote a tale of space piracy in his 1978 Doctor Who serial The Pirate Planet, where pirates move a hollow planet through space.

The 1980s also brought Captain Zargon, a space pirate, and a representation of "space-age warfare," part of the Action Man toy series released by Hasbro. 1984 brought various stories including space pirates. John Steakley's novel Armor, an homage to Starship Troopers, a novel by Robert A. Heinlein published in 1959, introduces a protagonist named Felix. In the 1990 sequel, Vampires$, Jack Crow, an antihero is introduced, who is a " legendary space pirate" which may have been the "source for Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow." The same year that Armor was published, the film, The Ice Pirates was first shown in U.S. theaters. Apart from the film being noteworthy for its cheeky, obviously cut-rate production values, mid-eighties "color-blind casting", sexual frankness, and near-deliberately slack "sitcom" direction, the film included space pirates. TCM described the film as about two space pirates being dragooned "into helping a princess find her father." The first video game in the long-running Metroid series was released in 1986. Its alien space pirate antagonists, the lizard-like Kraid and the draconic Ridley, as well as their leader, the biocomputer Mother Brain, would go on to feature in numerous future games as the nemeses of protagonist Samus Aran. The same year, Lois McMaster Bujold's novel The Warrior's Apprentice was published. The book's main character, Miles Vorkosigan, is an antihero, aristocrat, soldier, and space pirate, beginning in this novel and continuing in the Vorkosigan Saga series.

The 1990s brought various space pirates. The 1994 game Super Metroid continued the space pirate theme, having Samus chase after Ridley and his pirates. In addition, the Stephen R. Donaldson novels, This Day All Gods Die (1997) and Forbidden Knowledge (1992) include a space pirate by the name of Nick Succorso. This portrayal was criticized by the fact that Succorso may have raped the protagonist, Morn, in the latter novel, depending on how one defines the term, rape.

2000s to the 2010s
The early 2000s had many space pirates as well. The anime series, FLCL, the first series which aired between 2000 and 2001, focused on the story of a carefree female rockstar who wants to "save a space pirate" from an industrial corporation with the help of main character, Nandaba Naoto. In 2002, the video game Zathura would feature space pirates as some challenges that the protagonists need to overcome. More directly, in the game Metroid Prime, which came out the same year, there is a space pirate research facility, space pirates doing "biological experiments" on creatures, natural resources, and themselves, and the pirates having an interest in mystical liquid energy. The game also includes a research area led by space pirates, monsters bred by the same pirates that try to attack the player, and the pirates threatening to destroy precious artifacts. It would later be made into a film titled Zathura: A Space Adventure. In 2005, the film, Serenity featured a space pirate named Captain Malcolm Reynolds, who said that he "aim[s] to misbehave." He would be described by some as "good at heart" and a romantic figure. Following this, in 2009, Chris Wooding would publish a novel, Retribution Falls which some described as a "space/pirate fantasy" and a space racing game named Hooping which features pirate ships which can fire on the player with lasers, cannons, fireballs, or other projectiles.

In the 2011 novel, The Martian, adapted as a 2015 motion picture, botanist Mark Watney declares he is the first "space pirate." This garnered some discussion, with various scholars debating whether he is a space pirate, asking if his actions constitute piracy. One scholar, Christian J. Robson, stated that like in Andy Weir's Artemis, maritime law applies in space, allowing for Watney to make this claim, and argued that space law would also apply in this novel. The line about space piracy was retained in the 2015 film. The Martian was not alone in this. In 2014, a game named Quing's Quest VII premiered. The game itself pitted the player and their lover/advisor, a genderfluid "Social Justice Pirate" named Nero against forces named Misogynerds that destroyed their planet. In The Expanse novel and TV series, space piracy is seen as a big issue with multiple organizations forming to fight off the pirates.

The later 2010s had their share of space pirates. In 2016, a reviewer in The Catholic Library World reviewed Leslie Staub's children's novel, Time for Earth School, Dewey Dew, which included a space pirate. The story's main character, Niko, asked his cousin to come for a ride in his spaceship, but before this can happen, a female space pirate whisks her away, as he tries to get find her, complete with various illustrations to "capture the mood of the story." Also that year, Michael J. Martinez, who authored the Daedalus series, which involves pirates in space and Mars, was interviewed. He said he was excited by the "notion of putting a sailing ship in space" after seeing the 2002 animated film, Treasure Planet, which features space pirates, but was disappointed. The idea was invigorated when he saw the 2003 film Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World, wondering what the notion of sailing ships in space, with a Napoleonic era setting in the Solar System, would be like. Also that year, two other stories featuring space pirates premiered. Specifically, Nicolette Barischoff's story, "Pirate Songs" included a disabled space pirate with a glass eye named Margo who uses a high-tech chair for mobility, and The Waves Project, a webcomic, features a space pirate named Beck, who finds himself in the seedy underground of Aezerea, an "Earth-like moon." The following year, the 2017 film, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, featured Han Solo, who is described as a "grizzled" and "underdog" space pirate with his fellow pirate, Chewbacca, and the Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 film featured scenes with a blue-skinned space pirate named Yondu. A science fiction novel titled Barbary Station came out the same year, focusing on space pirates. The next year brought the film, Solo: A Star Wars Story to theaters. One of the film's characters, Val, was compared to a space pirate as she engages in heists and criminal activity. In March of the following year, a comic series titled Astro Hustle, described as a "sexy space pirate romp," began its four-issue mini-series. Accompanying this was the publication of Alastair Reynolds's novel Shadow Captain with the main character, Fura, taking in some of the personality of a ruthless space pirate, Bosa Sennen, from the previous novel, returning from his ship. This was the sequel to his 2016 novel, Revenger, the latter which features an "attack by horrifyingly sadistic pirate": Sennen. It was also described as a "swashbuckling thriller" and an "emotionally raw trilogy about a space pirate crew looking for collapsed planets." Roy McBride, main character of the film Ad Astra, fights with space pirates on the Moon before traveling to Mars. The film's screenplay mentions "mining pirates" and "pirate activity."

2020 to present
In 2020, various stories and narratives featured space pirates. In the young adult novel, Aphotic by D. R. Mattox, a main character, Ko, is shipped off onto a "self-driving, unmanned pirate ship" en route to a training camp. The Korean science fiction film Space Sweepers has a main cast of space pirates who discover a humanoid robot created as a weapon of mass destruction. This includes Captain Jang, a "mysterious ex-space pirate." L. Neil Smith's 2020 novel Henry Martyn focuses on pirates in space, specifically protagonist Henry Martyn, who tutors another to become a pirate and take up his name.

In February 2021, CBR called Hondo Ohnaka, who had appeared in Star Wars: The Clone Wars leading a group of pirates, a "lovable space pirate and smuggler," who mentors one of the protagonists of Star Wars Rebels, Ezra, with the crew of his ship reluctantly accepting him as an ally. While Hyenas, a first-person shooter revolving around space pirates who steal pop-culture relics from wealthy Martian colonists, was planned for release in 2023, it was cancelled by Sega due to a lack of confidence in its profitability.

In the real world
Some have considered the idea of space pirates operating in the Solar System, with the possibility of a space-based economy, asteroid mining, debates over Extraterrestrial real estate and other space law questions. In 2018, Michael Viets proposed adding "space piracy" into the lexicon of international law and in 2019, legal scholars Alex Ramsey and Jessica Ramsey asked what would be "responsible actors" in space, saying they would not include those who are "some form of a space pirate," adding that the United States would determine the "responsible" parties in space. In May 2019, U.S. Senator Ted Cruz spoke in a congressional hearing, stating that "pirates threaten the open seas, and the same is possible in space", and defending the creation of the Space Force.

In 2019, American entrepreneur Nova Spivack declared he was the "first space pirate" for smuggling tardigrades to the Moon on board an Arch Mission Foundation lander without informing the Israeli launch company SpaceIL. Items have been taken into space without permission since the mid 1960s.

Untitled
If you have a page for the covenent in Halo than don't you think that you could have one for the space pirates in metroid. If not that then make a list of characters and enemies in the metroid series that has a section on them rather than having everything redirect to the series. 70.130.27.33 (talk) 15:07, 3 October 2008 (UTC)
 * * Shrug*. The Covenant have extensive characterisation and background, quite a bit of politics and a lot of juicy details in supplementary materials. The Space Pirates in Metroid are pirates, in space, and kinda like insects. Though I haven't kept up with the Metroid Prime series, there doesn't seem to be much to say about them. --Kiz o r  09:05, 17 October 2008 (UTC)

The Space Pirates is a band that has for 0ver 25 years occupied a unique position in music. as such they are worthy of a mention in wikipaedia. it is not self promotion, but a mark of the bands part in certain aspects of the countercultural history of the UK. it is not a 'band' as such, but a banner under which many combinations of players can create completely spontaneous music. please do not delete this again. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Willgreenwood (talk • contribs) 11:29, 17 May 2009 (UTC)

Merging?
The "List of space pirates" should be merged with the "Space pirate" page, as the list is short and the "space pirate" page is itself only a stub. --69.142.3.253 (talk) 14:30, 4 February 2011 (UTC)
 * I support merge/redirect with List of space pirates. This particular article has nothing of value, it is barely a stub.Spirit469 (talk) 23:50, 20 September 2014 (UTC)

I agree. Just move everything from List of space pirates here. 53zodiac (talk) 12:44, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * I'm not completely sure about a merge because I'm still updating the list page. I'll see what I can find and throw something together then. If I can't find anything by the end of next week, then I'll let you know, but I seriously doubt I'll find nothing.--Historyday01 (talk) 17:07, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * So, @53zodiac, as an addendum to my last comment on here, I oppose merging the article at the present. I'm planning on doing a deep dive into research and/or writing a section with a large number of sources I was able to gather for the List of space pirates page. I already moved the space pirate media section here. That way the article will have value. What 69.142.3.253 and Spirit469 said in the past may have been right then, but now is not the time to merge. In fact, I don't think merging at any point would be advisable.--Historyday01 (talk) 06:40, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Move discussion in progress
There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Space pirate (disambiguation) which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 12:46, 2 March 2018 (UTC)

Well, that was a short discussion.--Historyday01 (talk) 17:05, 22 November 2020 (UTC)

Example farm?
I think this article does have too many examples: one I took out was that "In 2020, a game on Steam was released which challenges players to take down a fleet of space pirates", which has been added back. This doesn't seem to be a notable game (it has no Wikipedia article), and there are what look like hundreds of Steam games which involve space pirates in some way.

WP:EXAMPLES advises that "Before adding yet another example, pause to ask whether it will help readers unravel the many facets of the concept, or drag them into needless detail specific only to that example, thus deviating from the central theme of the concept."

I think we're getting into the weeds a bit if the useful broad-strokes points about how this stock character evolved from 1920s Buck Rogers comics via Star Wars are being lost with equally strong "in 2020, a non-notable Steam game featured pirates as enemies". The List of space pirates article is where the exhaustive list of every space pirate belongs. --Lord Belbury (talk) 15:15, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

 * @Lord Belbury, I have to disagree. I think this page should be more expansive than the original List of space pirates page. This page should include as many space pirates as possible, which is what I tried to do. However, if you present a convincing case that there are too many examples and that we are getting into "the weeds a bit," then I'd be willing to reduce the size of the page. I don't like just talking in generalities about "too many examples." Historyday01 (talk) 16:44, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

 * That sounds the wrong way around: shouldn't the "list of space pirates" be the article that includes as many space pirates as possible? If this is going to become an article that lists the exact same pirates (and more!) in the exact same chronological order but structures it as prose instead of a table and adds review quotes for context, why have the list article at all?
 * I think you're going against WP:EXAMPLES to mention something genre-defining like "recurring villains in the Buck Rogers comic strip" in passing, before giving equal weight to every minor videogame cameo in the last few years. I think "In science fiction" would be a much more interesting and useful read if it gave a readable overview of the history of the stock character, and drew out some threads of inspiration and commonality. --Lord Belbury (talk) 16:54, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, Lord Belbury, the only reason I am wary of adding lots of space pirates to the list page is that I have been part of deletion discussions of lists (which were luckily all saved) in the past year, where people complained that the lists weren't narrow enough, so I guess my outlook is influenced by that. Admittedly, I just copied over the pirates from the list page and added them to this page, which is why it looks similar. Additionally, if you want to point out which ones are minor videogame cameos, that would be great, because I'm working on a number of pages. Also, the main page is clearly not perfect, and perhaps it would be more interesting if there is "a readable overview of the history of the stock character, and drew out some threads of inspiration and commonality" but I have a day job and I don't have unlimited time to improve every page, so I just wrote up what seemed right to me.Historyday01 (talk) 17:32, 14 December 2020 (UTC)

 * You're the one who's adding these: if you can't tell whether they're protagonists or minor background characters when you're doing that, or whether the reviewers are citing them as an important part of the space piracy genre or have merely used the adjective "piratical" in passing, perhaps it's time to stop adding examples and work on improving the section as a whole. If you're deliberately avoiding adding minor pirates to the list of space pirates article and putting them here instead because you've a feeling they're less likely to get deleted, that isn't helping to make a good article. Somebody (with more free time than either of us) will clear it all away one day and write a better "history of space pirates in sci-fi" section.
 * If I think this has too many examples, and you think it would be great to have some guidance in which minor examples to trim down, put the example farm template back and other editors will help out. --Lord Belbury (talk) 17:43, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, I'll mull it over. It's not that I'm "deliberately avoiding adding minor pirates" to the list page, but I'm adding nothing at all, after already spending a lot of time fixing that article. I have a Google alert and all for "space pirate" set up, so I can add anything new. I guess I can go through every entry I have listed and remove the "minor" ones, although that will probably take some time. I seriously doubt that anyone will come across and "write a better "history of space pirates in sci-fi" section," based on the fact that there are very few editors who have edited this page since I made the changes back in November. So, reluctantly, I guess, apparently, I'm the only one who can fix the section. I thought you would give some guidance to help in this process, but I guess I'm all on my own on this one like I am with just about every single page I edit. Someday I may read this book too, but since it's not in either of the public libraries near me, that probably won't happen anytime soon.Historyday01 (talk) 20:11, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * This article has been around in some form or other since 2005, and it'll probably still be around in 2035, people will always be passing through who might decide to work on it (as I did last month). Remember you and I are WP:VOLUNTEERs here - don't feel that you have to maintain the whole article by yourself, forever, or that you can't take a break to see if it'll grow by itself.
 * Where it's agreed that a problem is outstanding and needs some work, a template like example farm can help bring someone in to fix it. As well as giving a clear call to action to anyone who's reading the article, it also means that the page will be automatically listed in categories like Category:Wikipedia articles with style issues from December 2020 and Category:Articles with too many examples from December 2020, and anyone scanning those categories might jump in and help if the topic catches their eye. --Lord Belbury (talk) 20:39, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Well, I'm not sure if I'll do it with this page yet, but I'm definitely doing it for the Lesbian characters in fiction page. I thought I had paired it down, but apparently, I didn't.Historyday01 (talk) 20:33, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

This article came round on my watchlist again, and giving it another look these examples do need paring back, I'll add the examplefarm template. I appreciate that you've trawled a lot of the web to check for popular culture references to the words "space pirate" for every year since 1925, but some of these ("[in 2014] a student artist drew a space pirate named Cheesebeard"?) seem very minor, and take away from the important parts of the genre history, per WP:EXAMPLES. --Lord Belbury (talk) 07:33, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, I suppose I can go back through it again and remove some examples when I have some time. Historyday01 (talk) 13:28, 5 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking a look. The sections still seems very dense to me, that it's hard as a reader to pick out any broad, significant themes about the history of space piracy in fiction. It looks like there's possibly a focus on gender and disability in takes on the genre in the 2000s/2010s, but if there is it's somewhat lost among the year-by-year chronology.
 * If all the reader learns from an example is that a movie or videogame definitely had a space pirate in it, with no sense that this advanced or reinterpreted the space pirate trope, I'd take that as a sign that the example should go into the list of space pirates table instead. --Lord Belbury (talk) 09:20, 6 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I see what you are saying, but I didn't know how else to organize it except to do it chronologically. Historyday01 (talk) 17:44, 6 August 2021 (UTC)

Talk:Bail Organa

If you want to add new titles for Bail Organa, (ie Princess, First Chairman, Grand Poobah etc) PLEASE don't just replace the one that's there. It's there for a reason - to link him with preceeding and following Senators of Alderaan. If you replace the text, it stuffs it up. If you want to add more titles, add more boxes. QuentinGeorge 06:10, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Redirect
The only real-world information presented about this character is trivia about a cut scene and "confusion" (although there's no citation for there being confusion) about various Bails. I've redirected to the Star Wars list of characters. --EEMIV (talk) 16:42, 21 October 2008 (UTC)

 * I have also boldly redirected a recreated article for this character at Bail Prestor Organa on the same grounds, though the new article was basically a stub in progress. I'll discuss the reasoning and any possible draft with the editor in question.— TAnthonyTalk 21:17, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Sorry for any trouble. He was my first edit here. So, from what I understood, an article about Bail Organa can't be created? I was searching for more sources to add to the info on the page (and the deleted scene in question about Bail and Mon Mothma was canonized http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bail_Organa#cite_note-Stirring_in_Senate-17 in Canon, according to this Wookieepedia source). I guess the character should have his own article, seeing he has been in three films of the franchise, and not to tell other EU/Legends material. Much minor, or characters that appeared much less or one time, like Bodhi Rook, Snoke, Maz, etc. have their own articles. I also wished to know how can I create an article based on characters such as Bail, because I understood his "page" was his redirect on the Star Wars list of characters. (Others I think could win an article based on multiple appearances would be Mon Mothma, Nute Gunray, and Wat Tambor)— DraftDrawTalk 18:24, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * no apologies necessary and I just left a message on your talk page to explain more specifically why your newly created article was redirected back to List of Star Wars characters. A previous version of an article on this character was redirected because it contained all plot summary, poor sourcing and no citations asserting notability. Your newly created content was similarly incomplete. I understand, however, that it was just a start and you probably intended to expand and improve the article. I am happy to help advise you in doing so at Draft:Bail Organa (or your own sandbox), and assist you in moving the content to Bail Organa should it become appropriate. I have little doubt that you will be able to find citations to at least create an acceptable Start-class article along the lines of Jyn Erso, K-2SO, or the other you named above (some of which I myself created or have edited). Thanks.— TAnthonyTalk 21:33, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

Broken link
The Wookiepedia link is broken; it should be to here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Bail_Organa

I can't get Wikipedia to let me edit that last paragraph! Tabbycatlove (talk) 01:41, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Okay, wait...  It seems like the Wookiepedia template might be broken..? I just did the link like a normal link. Could someone check if the Wookiepedia template used in the old version still works? It led me to a broken link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tabbycatlove (talk • contribs) 01:48, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

 * The template seems to work fine for me.— TAnthonyTalk 02:34, 9 August 2017 (UTC)

Okay, thanks! Maybe it was just on this page then. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tabbycatlove (talk • contribs) 02:51, 9 August 2017 (UTC)
