Not done: this is not the right page to request additional user rights. You may reopen this request with the specific changes to be made and someone will add them for you, or if you have an account, you can wait until you are autoconfirmed and edit the page yourself. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:27, 30 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Sockpuppet changing the name to "Sidious"

Please be aware that there is an editor who has abused multiple accounts to change the name of the subject of this article to "Sidious" from Palpatine. The original account was User:Maxikelley62063, but they have also edited as User:Kmax12649, User:Maxkelley550, and User:Maxkelley2003. If you see this person return with another account changing "Palpatine" to "Sidious", please revert on the spot and ping me in case I didn't see it, and I'll block on the spot. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:26, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Something about the antagonist using multiple personas to wreak havoc seems somehow appropriate here. --EEMIV (talk) 21:56, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Section header, but needs a trim

I threw a Critical reaction section header into this addition by User:Rosvel92. However, at passing glance, this seems like disproportionate coverage of folks' angst about Rise of Skywalker. The word fan also appears almost 20 times, which is an orange flag that maybe this isn't all so much critical response to Palpatine so much critical summation of fans' response to Palpatine. But, in light of the breadth of content in which the character appears, all these paragraphs are just overkill attempts to be exhaustive rather than merely compelling. We also don't need 4, 5, 6+ refs for individual assertions. I'm just a casual observer of this page, but it might be worth considering reverting the addition and revising it in draft space. --EEMIV (talk) 12:55, 25 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

-==Who knew what?==
-Ok one thing that always made it hard for me to follow along with the prequels and the clone wars...who actually knew what about Palpatine? Did Darth Maul know he was working for a sith Lord? Did he know that his boss was also Palpatine or did he only know his boss as Darth Sidious? Same goes for Count Dooku. Same for the original movies...did all of the Emperor's flunkies like Tarkin know he was a member of the Sith and thus they were agents of the Sith or was everyone but Vader being misled?
