 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)

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)

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

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)

@EEMIV: Rosvel92 has been notorious for inserting excessive and unnecessary paragraphs about fan opinions into Star Wars-related articles, and has been reverted on a number of occasions by more than one editor/admin. Most of the information on fan responses to Rise of Skywalker in this article they had also attempted to use in the Plot hole and List of retroactive continuities articles, if not more. If any of the included information is actually warranted, then it should amount to little more than a few sentences of prose at most. Wikibenboy94 (talk) 13:44, 26 January 2022 (UTC)

Cool. Like I said, just a casual observer. I don't mind seeing that wall of text removed from the Holocron. --EEMIV (talk) 16:07, 26 January 2022 (UTC)
