DarthMRN: Han calling his hyperdrive a warp drive can be attributed to a) the fact some things have different names; b) an error on the part of the author; or c) an attribution of the medium. If we can allow for the Clone Wars cartoons to have insane exaggerations as being inherent to the medium, then why not allow for a comic from 1978 to use a sci-fi term of the day as being inherent to the medium?

To cite a word as an irreconcilable contradiction, and therefore, something to be discarded is really missing the forest for the trees.

And this is not on account of any sillyness-factor, as I find enough of that in C-canon. It is more a matter of outright breaches with C-canon, or simply implications and minor elements which sits very uneasy when compared with the general image I perceve from C-canon, even if they do not actually conflict with anything.

An example of the former: Han Solo constantly referring to his Hyperdrive as a Warp Drive, and Lightspeed as Warp. Contradictory, unless a similar mistake has ever been made in C-canon.
An example of the latter: Alien planets featuring a host of one-shot alien species, and virtually none of the established ones. Not contradictory per se, since it might have happened in a galaxy as large as theirs. Problem is that the odds for it are staggering, and very far from the "remind fans of the movies"-approach generally taken by C-canon when it comes to alien species.

*This then translated into a greater urgency in getting more and more of this material into the Holocron. *
Which is done through C-canon raferences, obviously. Note the wording, though: more and more of this material into the Holocron. Since it is not already there, that must mean 1) that we are talking about continuity (I don't know whether the Holocron tracks non-canon stuff) rather than all kinds of SW, and thus 2) that it isn't a part of continuity on its own. See the reasoning?

Selective interpretation? No more than yours, and IMO far more solid than an argument hinging on a belief that anything not part of continuity would already be "N-canon" (you know: the category of non-continuity stuff), therefore it must be part of continuity. An argument which stands and falls upon an unsubstantiated assumption that there is no middle ground. Which S-canon has more or less been explicitly stated to be .

You say the original EC puts him at 24? This does sync with the script, and gives a plausible age difference with Luke.....hmmm....

What is the deal with the De Maals and Ellorrs Madak & Baniss Keeg? Gamer 2 mentions that the De Maals use Madak & Keeg as their aliases. What about the background then for Madak & Keeg from the SE SW Trilogy Sourcebook?

It's worth mentioning that when the Holocron was started, there was no intent of fully embracing the Marvel contents as continuity. My personal rationale for this was due to the lack of accessibilty by fans and authors to the comics at the time. After Dark Horse reprinted the comics as trade paperbacks, there was renewed interest from fans in seeing these become more relevant to continuity, and more importantly, there was now an easy way for authors and artists to access this information. This then translated into a greater urgency in getting more and more of this material into the Holocron.

Seems you added a bit after I answered:

Is this entire line of reasoning based upon G, C, and S being labelled canon, while N is labelled continuity? Doesn't that strike you as a rather thin basis for an argument? All that tells me is that N definetly isn't part of continuity (although Tasty has contradicted that one too...), while G, C, and S either are, or could potentially be.

N isn't labeled continuity; it is labeled NON-continuity. That is to say, it is not part of the continuity, and I've yet to see any post where Tasty contradicts that. The other three are; they're given the label of canon, where N-stuff isn't.

If you are referring to this:

No, I was referring to the quote I quoted.

...which clearly indicates that even non-canon is Canon for the purposes of the Holocron, though obviously not continuity. Ergo, something being Canon does not automatically make it part of continuity.

Umm, no, it says exactly the opposite, that "Non-continuity is not canon."

Besides, where does this notion that anything with the Canon label is definetly a part of continuity come from in the first place? I mean, we've got N-canon to contradict that possibility right there.

Umm, no, we DON'T. There is no such thing as "N-canon." There is Non-continuity stuff, which Tasty marks in the Holocron by putting an "N" in the canon field. He has never referred to N-material as canon, which is my point.

I dare call all of this insurmountable evidence that S-canon isn't part of continuity in itself. And it seems the only defense you can muster is a notion that something bearing the Canon label has to be part of continuity, despite C-licensors ability to disregard it completely, the fact that it hasn't gone through LFL testing, that even Infinites are Canon for the purposes of the Holocron database system, that the S category has been explicitly stated to be available for Continuity, and a container for things that have not yet been declared C or N.

I rest my case.

If you are referring to this:
*
Canon: G+C+S
Continuity: G+C
Is it right?

Not exactly. Continuity and canon and pretty much the same thing as far as the Holocron goes.*

...and the fact that S has the Canon label, then you should also consider your own quote:

Okay, Non-continuity is not canon, it's just a way to classify non-continuity stuff in a database field called "canon.

...which clearly indicates that even non-canon is Canon for the purposes of the Holocron, though obviously not continuity. Ergo, something being Canon does not automatically make it part of continuity.

I must thank you, though, for that link. Further down I found even more solid proof than I had dared hope for:

*Is it (S-canon) a 'container' for older resources that are not yet completely checked but will be placed to either C or N after inspection?

That about sums it up, though "inspection" only occurs as needed when it is referenced in something else. *
