Good Article Help
Hi JMAS. I'm desperately trying to write a GA, but I just can't seem to find an article that I can clean up and turn into a GA. I would really appreciate some advice. I would love to have at least one GA under my belt, and would love to use it as a learning experience. Thanks! --Gmalek ( The ability to edit does not make you intelligent ) 04:51, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you have an era and/or type of article you are interested in? For instance, are you wanting to work on an article from The Clone Wars or The Old Republic. And are you wanting to work on a character, or an object, or an event? -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 12:06, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * I love to work on the planet articles. How about that? --Gmalek ( The ability to edit does not make you intelligent ) 14:36, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * OK, then you've got a lot of choices to pick from. Find a planet that could use work and has Appearances/Sources that you own, or have access to, so that you are able to get the article up to snuff with information from all available sources. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 14:43, June 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok. Thanks so much for the help!

Re: WESTAR-35
Look, you can plainly see the difference in proportions and details between the pistol on the right and the rifle on the left. It isn't just because it's concept art. It can also be seen in the image of Pre Vizsla. Moon Demon 03:09, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

It's the angle of the "camera" that makes it look odd. But if it was the rifle, his hand would be much farther back from the barrel section. I have them both in the article. They are fine as is. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 04:30, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Vor'en Kurn
Do you think you might be able to upload a better version of Blue-skinned Vor'en Kurn from Saga Edition Rulebook? Galaxy of Intrigue specifically states (on page 36) that Vor'en is blue-skinned, so the more recent Saga version is more accurate, despite the muted colors. SinisterSamurai 04:45, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do when I get home. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 18:12, July 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 02:39, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanktitude, a combination of thanks and gratitude. SinisterSamurai 03:24, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Warning
Please do not upload images that are heavily edited and cloned such that big chunks of the image are your own creation. It's not acceptable. At that point, it's fanart, not a canon image. Havac 21:11, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

shae vizla
When I saw the hope trailer I thought I saw Shae Vizla Land next to Darth Malgus when the sith were advancing. See the trailer if you have not already and tell me if it is or not. Commanderneyo77 18:35, July 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * It looks like her. It probably is her. But until official sources confirm it is her, we say it is her. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 19:03, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

userinfo box
Can you help me with my userinfo box? Commanderneyo77 12:15, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

Clovis
Hey JMAS, do you think you could upload an image of Rush Clovis for me when you get the chance? The one I need is him standing over Amidala when she's all poison-y. If you can get one of the shots where their both visible, but the camera's towards his face, that'd be great. Thanks in advance! Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 21:57, July 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done. I wasn't sure exactly where you intended to put it in the article, so I placed it in the Relationships section. I'll leave it to use you relocate it as needed. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 12:47, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ah, it's perfect. Thank you so much! Oh, and thanks for updating the image of him in the senate&mdash;its much better now. Darth Trayus ( Trayus Academy ) 19:15, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Havoc Squad Image
On the Havoc Squad page, you said reverted my edit because it was "speculative". It's not; you can clearly see the insignia at several points during the Hope trailer, the first of which at 0:25. --Revelae 23:51, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * It is speculative that that is the Havoc Squad insignia. You don't know what that insignia is. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 23:46, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * The SWTOR says it's the Havoc Squad, plus the insignia has the Aurebesh letter "H". --Revelae 23:51, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Images from SW:TOR
This is just a general inquiry about the copyright status of images, and since you upload most of the images I figured you'd know. Is there not any legal obligation to upload images on this site with the logo and copyright information still visible? E.g. this, rather than this; the latter being the one used on Wookiepedia. I appreciate any light you can shed on the topic. Alexsau1991 (talk page) 20:59, July 18, 2010 (UTC)

Krath Enchanter
Hey JMAS. I'm told that you are good at removing text from images; could you please help me out? I need the text removed from File:Krathenchanter.jpg, but I do not have the tools to do so. I have given it a rescan, so all I need is the text removed. Please get back to me when you can. Cheers,  IFYLOFD  ( Floyd's crib ) 01:01, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Happy to oblige. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 03:39, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Marvel request
Hey JMAS, thanks for getting that image for me. Would you be able to upload a new image, just of the destroyed station from that panel? I'd like to use both in the article, but I really need an image showing just the station (or what's left of it) for the infobox. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 19:06, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * You bet. I'll get right on that. Shall I just put it into the infobox when I upload it? -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 19:12, July 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure, that would be fine. Thanks again. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 19:13, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

That clone
Hey, JMAS, I want to discuss to you about the reverting that supposed ARC trooper image from the article. Basically my point was we should just wait until the episode/episode guide or if any other information about this clone is revealed. To be honest, using promotional images for the main image of an article is nonsense. When someone sees something, usually from TCW, they get all excited and want to quickly change something or add an image in an article. We shouldn't jump so soon and change something before it's actually confirmed. I think it would be best if we do that and wait. And I see nothing wrong with that image of Fordo and his other ARC troopers behind him as the main image. Just because TCW shows something, we don't have to end up "TCW-izing" every article. :P Thanks man,  JangFett  (Talk) 15:38, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm going to start by saying I think you're a great guy and a great editor. That stands regardless of whether I agree with you or not on some points. Regarding this issue, I completely disagree. :p Your first point about promotional images used as main images being nonsense, I think that statement is nonsense. The main image of an article is supposed to be the best quality image possible. Promotional images are the best quality images 99% of the time, as is the case with the ARC trooper article. It is confirmed that is an ARC trooper. The file name of the image confirms it is an ARC trooper.
 * I agree that many people jump the gun when it comes to TCW subjects. I, however, am not one of those people. I prefer to take a middle ground. I believe in using common sense (if it looks like a bantha, smells like a bantha, walks like a bantha, it is a bantha) mentality so even if something isn't spelling out in writing, but looks, sounds and acts like something, then it is that thing (Pilf Mukmuk in "Lethal Trackdown" for instance). On the other side of the coin, I also do not and would not advocate making an Unidentified Advanced Recon Commando article based on that image.
 * I hope that addresses the issue at hand, and confirmed without question for you that the image is of an ARC trooper. And since is the most "recent IU" depiction of an ARC trooper, and the best quality image on hand, should remain as the main image. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 16:12, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Better yet, why not you start another image voting in the talk page. I know it's not going to be the best way to solve this, since all those random TCW fans will vote for that new ARC trooper, but it's certainly better if we get a consensus going instead of arguing/reverting about which image is more appropriate for the article.  JangFett  (Talk) 19:56, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just to clarify, I reverted it based on you're reasoning in the edit summary not being valid. However, you are probably correct. I'll take it to the talk page. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 19:59, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not valid as in what? I was only saying we should wait until something more is confirmed about this guy. Pretty much he's been released not even a week ago, and already certain people are getting anxious and wanting to change the ARC trooper main image.  JangFett  (Talk) 20:04, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * Your edit summary stated that it isn't confirmed that the image is of an ARC trooper. That statement is not valid as it is confirmed by the very file name on SW.com. See my comments above and on the comments section for the vote on the talk page as to the reasoning for it being validity being used as the main image. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 20:18, July 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I saw, and with all due respect, you should never base something off of a file name. Everything is subject to change.  JangFett  (Talk) 20:20, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Pyn'gani
Do you have Empire at War or its sequel? If so could you try and get a good screenshot of some Pyn'gani structures? I understand that they look like igloo? If you see anything else that might be useful to describe or possibly show on their article, please also grab a shot of that too. --Eyrezer 02:08, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I understand some of their structures are present in the top left corner of the map, on an island with a shield generator, if that helps. --Eyrezer 02:13, July 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I don't own EAW or FOC. I think Culator has them, based on some of planet screenshots he's uploaded. He'd probably be the best person to ask as he'll be able to get you great screenshots. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 12:06, July 26, 2010 (UTC)

IFD
Hey, JMAS,

How come you marked this for deletion? Are hyperspace images not allowed? —Tommy 9281 03:20, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nope, sorry. Per WP:IMAGES, number 3. Also, per Hyperspace content. Sorry man. :\ -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 04:57, July 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * But if the image is from Lumiya: Dark Star of the Empire, which says it was featured in Star Wars Galaxy 3, if you can get that image from that source without the Hyperspace logo at the bottom, then it would be fine. But since the one you uploaded has the logo, it's taboo here. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 05:00, July 30, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Wolffe's eye
Thank you for pointing out the error in the article and bringing it to my attention, as I wasn't aware that the TPB version had corrected this error. I've fixed up the additions to Wolffe's article, so the conflict should be rectified up now.  CC7567  (talk) 23:15, July 31, 2010 (UTC)

Sporting blaster pic from BtM
Hi JMAS! I am working on Star Wars: The Roleplaying Game, First Edition-related articles. The Hunting blaster is described as sport variant of blaster rifle. I think this would be a good pic for hunting rifle, but it is described as sporting blaster. You have uploaded this pic long ago. I don't find it in the Behind the Magic. Can you confirm this is called sporting rifle? Or calling it sporting is just an assumption of a previous editor? Darth Morrt 10:57, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * The original uploader got it from the Wizards website and it was called a sporting blaster there. Unfortunately, that is no longer available as they've shut all their SW RPG info on their site down now. Yes, I can confirm it is from BTM, but I cannot confirm whether it is called a sporting rifle or not in that source. If you look in the "Usage" section of the sporting blaster article, it describes sporting rifles being used for big game hunting, so I think it would be fair to use this image to also depict a hunting rifle. It's a sporting rifle for game hunting. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 15:29, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Darth Morrt 15:34, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Audio files
Hi, I was wonderinf if you could tell me how to download and upload those audio files that you made from Star Wars: The Old Republic trailers. I wanted to use them on the Dutch Star Wars: The Old Republic Wiki and also the English Star Wars: The Old Republic Wiki. --Darth Stefan (Talk) 14:41, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * I use a variety of programs, including FormatFactory, Windows Movie Maker being the primary two necessary. I think I misunderstood your request. You're not asking how I made them, but how to access them. I don't believe you can just "transfer" them or export the files from here to there. So you'll need to save the files from Wookieepedia to your hard drive. Then just upload them to your wiki. As to uploading them there, that would be specific to your particular wiki. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 15:23, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Riot clone trooper
Feel free to recreate the article. It had been blank when I deleted it. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 17:58, August 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ahh, I see. I'll get to that in a bit then and see if I can't get a decent scan from the encyclopedia to go with it. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 18:16, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Image query
Could you crop, and do whatever else needs to be done to, this image for use in Sev's infobox?&mdash; 18:29, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

R-3PO
Hey JMAS, just curious where you found the new R-3PO Hasbro picture. Is that on a website anyplace, or do you know if it's from a specific toyline, etc? Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:15, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * The image is on the artist website, marked only as "Hasbro toy line" or something like that. Doing a little research I confirmed it on the RebelScum entry and one other site. I forgot to put the specific toy line in source. That's been fixed now. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 17:38, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Good deal. Thanks for your help. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:40, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Regarding Han's hand coming across the torso, that's the way it's displayed on the artist website :\ so there's not much I can do about it. But I still figured a facing-forward image was better for the infobox. I hope that's ok with you. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 17:43, August 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah, works for me. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:47, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Coruscant
Thanks, I appreciate the advice and the image. As I'm working on the article, I can't believe how much information was added and not sourced! And just in general, I don't understand how an article like this could be left to go to seed. At any rate, thanks for the advice, I'll put the image in. Coruscantfan 15:26, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, I was wondering if I could get your opinion on the Inhabitants section. Would it be better to 1 leave it as is; 2 trim down the names listed; 3 add more info; 4 remove the notable citizens information/section to the Coruscanti article; 5 something I haven't thought of. If you could let me know I'd appreciate it. Thanks. Coruscantfan 00:46, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * I would say remove all the individuals/family sections, and just have it be the Notable citizens paragraph followed by the Government and politics section. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 05:13, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks. Coruscantfan 05:32, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you feel so inclinded, you could also mention, in paragraph form, that certain well known individuals and families, such as the Solo's, Skywalkers, Palpatine, etc all maintained residences on Coruscant. I'd put it right in the Notable citizens section. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 05:40, August 14, 2010 (UTC)
