Oh, I see. So by your explanation, you must be going through the entirety of Wookieepedia's articles and removing comic images where talk bubbles have been whited out, since those too, are fan modified. - JMAS 01:13, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That's different. We don't want words in images. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I've gotten confirmation from Administrators that this image is allowed. There are other fan-altered images in articles and there is no policy that states they are not allowed. Please leave it in the article. - JMAS 15:20, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's still not main-image worthy, though. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:08, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That's fine and thinking on it, I agree with you. But you removed it even when I had put it further down in the article. That was my objection. - JMAS 20:38, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I removed it only because I knew it was fan-modified. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:39, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Blocked?
My son, who goes by the name Quinlanfan, was blocked earlier today. I have reviewed the transacations in question and the response to his contesting the block. At no time were the words "warning" ever issued prior to his block. The response from wikia said that the wookieepedia administration claimed that he had been warned. The dialogue given as an example instructed him, as a new user, each time he did something wrong - but seemed to be in a friendly, corrective tone. I saw nothing that anyone would have taken as a warning. And each time he heeded their advice. This is a great site for star wars fans to debate and enjoy their favortite subject. Many of his young friends also enjoy it. Please stick to the rules of blocking and issue a formal warning notice if you are not happy with the way someone is conducting themselves. When the tone of voice is removed from the message - the message can be taken many different ways. As administrators it is their job to follow the rules that I assume they established - and a clear official warning is listed in the said rules. Thank you for your time reviewing this situation. I hope in the future your administrators will be more helpfull and less abrupt with new users. It would be appreciated if you would deal with the administrator in question, Darth Culator, on how to deal with and help new users. You can email a response to this to Jlbell@bellsouth.net
 * I would suggest that you take this issue up with Darth Culator on his talk page since he is the administrator that blocked Quinlanfan.– 04:06, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * And Jack's not an Admin. -- Yoshi  626 [[Image:Yoshiegg.jpg|20px]] 04:11, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * And hopefully never will be. I think that was pretty harsh too.  How about a day for every "offense"?
 * Herbsewell, get off my talk page. That was completely unnecessary and extremely rude. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:12, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Herbsewell, leave Jack alone. He is a great contributor and is trying his best (and succeeding) to be a good citizen. I know you have a personal grudge against him for whatever reason, but please, keep it to yourself. And I'd support Jack for admin and I know many others would. Chack Jadson 20:44, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Herbsewell's just to make me look bad... as always. Anyway, I'm about to bring the case up on IRC. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:47, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Good idea. He just tries to make things miserable for you, and constantly attacks you. Chack Jadson 20:50, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:51, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
 * And thanks for fixing this page, Chack. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:25, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Imperial insignia
The VFD page you voted on overlapped with the existing merge discussion thread on Forum:Imperial insignia page: would you mind voting there? Thanks, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 00:19, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:19, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Recent edits
I don't know why it every time I make a valid page edit, you feel the need to change it when there is nothing wrong with the edits I made. Is it personal? Do you always have to have your way? - JMAS 14:27, 13 January 2007 (UTC) I'm curious why, in the Palpatine article, in the Preceded by/Succeeded by part at the end, you changed the wording back from "Previously" to "Eventually". This isn't an issue I'm going to argue about, just hoping you can explain your reasons for choosing that word. The word eventually is an adverb meaning something at a later time, and it doesn't seem like that fits when talking about the past. And time in the SW universe is linear and, so far, there is no time travel. That was the reason I chose the word previously instead, because it implies it's from the past. - JMAS 21:08, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) Why no infoboxes on Stormtroopers and Scout troopers? I don't recall seeing that in the official MOS guidelines of Wookieepedia.
 * 2) Why did you revert the AT-ST main image? Seems to me the prefered setting is to NOT use the NEG images as the infobox image unless there is no other recourse. Hence the BF image would be the better choice.
 * Number one: All stormtroopers and scout troopers are not the same. Therefore, such an infobox is pointless. Number two: In that case, the TNEGtVaV is the better image. Number three: It's not personal. I'm just making the articles look better. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:30, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Fine, I can see that point on the infoboxes. I disagree on the AT-ST image. But your opinion seems to be the only one that matters. However, on the Stacking of the images on the bottom of the Scout trooper page, it looks better to have the images stacked on top of each other so that the lower image does not extend below the last of the page text. That is my opinion. And on this one I am not backing down. Do not change it back again. - JMAS 14:36, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I am. Images stacked on top of one another look horrible. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:37, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, "eventually" is also defined as "coming before or after something at an earlier/later time". At least, that's what it says in my dictionary. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:12, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ahh, the one I have handy is just a small size. You must have the collegiate edition. LOL. It still sounds funny to me, but that's fine. Thanks for explaining. - JMAS 21:15, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I find it a bit odd, too, but, hey, I didn't define the word. ;) Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:17, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

The Force is Strong With This One!
Hi, DC blocked me thursday afternoon. Shouldn't The block be done by now? Also I did not mean to be arguemenitive with you about the figures. What i ment was to ONLY have figure info on EU characters. Could you please put back Quinlan and Alpha? I have checked several times and Hasbro announced a couple of months ago that they WILL be making those figures.Last but not Least, I think that you would make a great adminastrator. Let me know what you think about all that on Quinlanfan's talk page.


 * 1) It depends on if Darth Culator had any reason to extend the block. 2) No, I'm not putting the information back. There's a vote going on that will decide it. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:38, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

We Meet Again

 * Hello Jack. I haven't seen you in a while. I like what you have done with your user page and subpages. I look forward to seeing their completion. I am also anxious to complete our little saga, although it probably won't ever be finished, it seems that every time I finish it, I always try to add something new. I am also going to complete my Fleet Composition, and hopefully include drawings of the individual vessels. I know I left on such a short notice, and I apologize, is there anything important that I've missed? If you would be so kind as too inform me, that would me nice. Ta,ta.-- IG-Prime (Sentience Core)[[Image:Arakyd Industries.jpg|17px]] 21:57, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Nice to see you again, IG. I don't think anything really important happened while you were gone, though. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I added a new section on my bio, if you could read it, it would be great. It starts after the Battle of the Star Forge. Thanks. Here is a link to use for your convenience.-- IG-Prime (Sentience Core)[[Image:Arakyd Industries.jpg|17px]] 21:56, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll have to read it later, though; I won't be home for the rest of the night. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 22:05, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I see, well that is fine, but I have an idea, if you have a moment to discuss it, please contact me. Thanks.-- IG-Prime (Sentience Core)[[Image:Arakyd Industries.jpg|17px]] 22:12, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm on a relative's laptop, but please tell me your idea. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:15, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Biography
Admiral Jack, I was wondering if i could add you to my in universe fanon biography. My character would be a Junior Officer on your ship around the time of that pirate attack that severed your arm. As soon as i am finished I will have it posted. Cheers, Eggzavier 22:17, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 23:47, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, its up under my user page, if you have any thing you want changed let me know there, here, or on my talk page. Ty again. -Eggzavier 03:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Great. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 12:09, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

Sourcing Question

 * I asked Culator this, but no reply, and you're faster on the rep than he is most of the time anyway. :-) Anyway, do sources like the NEGTD count for characters like Anakin Skywalker, Revan, etc. who are mentioned in the book but not in great detail? Does it get listed on their sources section? Oh, and btw thanks for the congrats. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 01:55, 16 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure. They might, but if the source in question doesn't reveal much information on them, they don't absolutely need to be listed. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:11, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Some userbox help
I need some help for the userbox container. How do you include more than 12 boxes in it? I currently have 12 and am trying to add two more (1 custom, if that matters at all). I see you have many userboxes, you respond fast, and we encountered each other before, so you're a good bet to help me figure this out. Thanks a lot. Chack Jadson 01:05, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * To be honest, I don't know. It might be best for you to just copy mine and then replace mine with yours and delete the remaining ones. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 01:07, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll try that. Thanks Jack. Oh, and by the way, how do you make that arrow everyone uses in the edit summary? Sorry, dumb question. Chack Jadson 01:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, instead of clicking "edit" at the top of the page, click the smaller "edit" button to the right of each section header before making an edit. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 01:12, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh. Duh. Sorry, I just never tried that for some reason. I feel like such a noob. Thanks once again. Always a pleausre to talk to you. Chack Jadson 01:14, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 01:15, 18 January 2007 (UTC)

Really.
Can you point me towards this dictate, this little foible of grammar? . .  .  .  01:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It's from an English textbook, Fourdot. I personally think it's wrong; I always thought your way was right. But apparently it isn't. Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 01:24, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Really. So we are weighing one English textbook against all the common sense in the world. When we find a little bit more evidence, then I think it might be safe to assume that this brand new, fantastic law of English is correct, but until that time, let's stick with what has been proper grammar for years. .  .  .  .  01:29, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * To insert my opinion on this battle of the grammatically correct ... I do believe a normally italicized word, such as a ship name, when enclosed within an italicized title, just remains italicized with the rest of the title, not de-italicized to make it stand out. - JMAS 01:48, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * To insert *my* opinion, I'll block both of you, Jack and Fourdot, if you can't work this out in talk pages instead of edit histories. Galactic Empire is currently protected because of this disagreement, but if you move this edit war to other pages I'll cut the problem off at the source.  That said, I too am unfamiliar with the rule that Jack is stating, and I suggest we get confirmation of some sort, one way or the other. Jack, if you can indicate the source for this rule, it would be appreciated; currently, I haven't found any online sources that say one way or the other, but I will continue to look. jSarek 01:54, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm looking also. I'll post here if I find anything one way or the other.  Though barring that, I have to say, having one word unitalicized in an italicized title, to me, looks rediculous. - JMAS 01:59, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * How exactly is it correct this way?--Herbsewell 02:01, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No more so that one word italicized in an unitalicized text, I wouldn't think. I know that de-italicizing italicized words in italicized text is standard grammar in most cases, and the only reason I have any doubt at all about it in this case is because Jack has indicated he's read otherwise in an authoritative source.  jSarek 02:03, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * If Liquidator would be italicized, then this is the proper way. Though it's called the Three-revert rule, not the Eight-revert rule.--Herbsewell 02:09, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * According to every site I've found on proper grammar usage of italics, its saying that italics and underline text mean the same thing. But I can't find anything about what to do with a normally italicized word in an italicized title. But every source says you should never use both italics and underlined words at the same time. Maybe we should make the Ship name in this case bolded text like *Star Wars Missions 4: Destroy the Liquidator. - JMAS 02:23, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * IIRC, i've seen Star Wars novels de-italicize italicized words in italicized text. It's probably best for Wookieepedia to do the same. --Azizlight 02:35, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
 * That's because it's proper grammar, even if citable websites haven't been particularly forthcoming; however, here is one article on the topic. Note that it explicitly refers to a ship name within italics. jSarek 02:39, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
