[b]My question:"Just to clarify, the original Fact Files quote regarding the most powerful Jedi only applied to the old Star Wars continuity during the time-span of the publication (i.e. 2002 to 2005)?"
"As you mentioned, the re-release only applies to characters who predated the series, so I imagine the original version also has the same policy."
Their response:
"That is correct when considering the "Legends" canon."

I imagine the confusion is coming from "official information," but given the context, that's referring to new stories and characters, not retconning quotes.[/B]
Mace > KotOR Revan (at the very least). The quote itself is
Alongside Mace Windu, with whom he served on the Jedi Council, Yoda was the most respected and most powerful Master ever to have walked the corridors of the Jedi Temple.
But it's not explicitly Force strength. It could just as well be their combative prowess.
Goddamn; it's like they succeeded in answering the question, but you failed to ascertain whether or not they believe it should apply to Mace and Revan.
Hm? I ask if it applies only to characters who predated the series, and they confirm.
Hint: Revan did not predate the series. Thus, he's not included.
The "time-span of the publication" is referring to all quotes in general, not a specific instance, so no.
It's not in regards to the specific Windu vs Revan case, so this doesn't mean the Windu quote applies since it's before Revan.
I would say you guys are reaching to levels that make your argument illegitimate from the start, but I think you realize that.

Are ya'll ****ing serious? They directly confirm above that the quotes in Fact Files only applies up to characters around as of the time of the publication.[/B]
Beniboybling interprets it as asserting "Revan was around during the time of the Fact Files' publication, so the 'most powerful Jedi' quote applies to him."
I honestly don't give a damn about which Jedi is stronger, btw.
Some members assume that older revelations hold precedence over newer material until specified otherwise, that retcons are supposed to be explicit. They simply fail to understand that newer material can create room for debate and set the stage of re-evaluation of older material at official capacity. This is why we get revised or new reference books. However, such books are not coming for (Legends) content now.

So the author confirmed you need to take in account the context of books when debating. This is a simple common sense thing most people around here seem to not know based on ignorance or stupidity.
But Sheevites are like: Lmao, no. It doesn't matter if there are quotes about Revan as the strongest Jedi because in-universe Mace and his accolades existed after Revan.
