At the same time, though, the article on Inferno sources Sue's quote about Jaina, Jag, and Zekk. Wookieepedia is becoming very good at sourcing --- the article on Jacen Solo has 45 references alone.

eddie:
Anyway, what I am trying to tribute to this discussion (and I guess we should leave it alone now for this thread) is to never blindly trust the Wiki/Wookiee thingy as anyone can edit what they like...
Nope, never blindly trust Wookieepedia. However, as Jeff Ferguson notes, we've been making a concerted effort to provide in-line sourcing for all articles with two or more sources, so you can check each fact for yourself if you so choose.
Of course, there are a LOT of articles that were made before we started this policy, so we're a long way yet from meeting the ideal of having all such articles sourced. But we're getting warmer.

You really shouldn't blindly trust any fan source. Timetales, Nathan Butler's timeline, any other. All are likely to contain at least some errors.

I know this and I frequently use the Wook to search for some item (i.e. in what comic or book something appears, and then I can look it up for myself): as you say, it is a great source to look up certain things... But I never go blindly with the information as stated in the online articles without checking these sources (I am in the priviliged position to own most books), as there are too many fanon things on the net.

I saw on the Random House / Del Rey website a title for the Darth Bane sequel: Rule of Two. I wonder how it is possible to choose it so fast. That was last week when you contacted Drew Karpyshyn for this novel, right?

I don't think its that too time-consuming to choose a title. The publishers and author agree, and then its pretty much a matter of putting it into the solicitation.

I was referring to the poster as the one who forgot sarcasm doesn't always carry, not you.

Sue I also saw the title on the Del Rey Online Site (link here)http://www.randomhouse.com/delrey/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780345477484. Is this the official title? Will we get an update on the Official Site?

Sue, I have a quick question. The Legacy era begins 40 ABY and goes to 137 years ABY. I was curious as to how long the Legacy Era lasts? Is it several hundreds of years or several thousands of years.
No one yet knows.

The Rule of Two is a placeholder, and is unlikely to be the final title. After all, it doesn't have Dark or Shadow in it.
