vandalism
why u delete my page u ass
 * Because it was . . . wait for it . . . vandalism! Just like you put in the header to this very talk page section.  And since you decided to also violate WP:NPA just now, you get to take a little vacation.  Don't try that crap again when you come back. jSarek 00:32, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

Renaming pages

 * Since the redesign, I can't work out how to rename pages with their talk page and history, leaving a redirect behind. I assume I'm missing something obvious? :p --McEwok 02:20, 3 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the reply. D'oh. I was looking for "rename", not "move". Dunno why. --McEwok 03:00, 3 January 2008 (UTC)

I saw Culator uploaded this pic and I thought you'd enjoy it! --Eyrezer 04:01, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

s's
Hey, thanks for that link to the forum on punctuation. Gonk, an English professor, informed me that in all his searches, he has not come upon a current set of rules for such punctuation, and that the only guidelines he could find involved the pronunciation of the final "s" of the word (a "z" sound gets an extra "s" while an "s" sound receives only an apostrophe). However, I personally disagreed with this, and do indeed feel that all words ending in "s" should receive the extra "s" after the apostrophe, as this is purely print and we cannot presume to possess knowledge of the myriad pronunciations of our subject matter. Also, in most of the publications that I myself read, the extra "s," which I do not consider to be "extra," is always used. So, it makes me feel a lot better to know that some decision was reached on this some time ago. Once again, users who have been around for quite a while prove just how crucial they are to the site; thank you. Graestan ( Talk ) 16:04, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Just to jump in on the conversation, what was the decision? I'm against the second s, but I'm not sure if that's a British english thing or just me :) --Eyrezer 20:49, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Veedo Vaocan
I've put the picture back — but in the BTS section, with an explanation of why that isn't Dr. Vaocan. Hopefully, this helps matters somewhat. I'd leave it out entirely, but I think it's needed to illustrate the BTS explanation. Cheers, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 15:55, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks: it's pretty straightforward when an article has only one source and only one continuity issue. 8) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 19:47, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Fact checking
I was wondering if you could check a fact for me. Apparently after Endor there were riots across the worlds owned by the Salliche Ag Corp. I believe this fact is from the Star Wars Adventure Journal 2, although I'm not sure which article. Could you have a look for me to determine its validity, and also what article its from? --Eyrezer 00:05, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! That's interesting. I wonder if based on that I can state that 2 SDs were sent to Moorja itself? However, they don't seem to be present in the events of Black Curs Blues itself, which of course, has Harkness still to deliver that very report. Still IIRC, the scouting mission took many months [6 months per Recon itself (I forgot I had access to the report)] so there is time for the SDs to be recalled given Moorja's stable condition. --Eyrezer 05:17, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Feel like joining IRC? There are a couple of other things I'd like to check. --Eyrezer 05:37, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries. I just decided to be BOLD and make a few changes to carto errors I'd noticed, like having Desstious placed in the Lambda Sector (which I think was conjecture based on it being Par Lakin's homeworld), Lambda Sector being in the ORT, and the canonical naming of a "Xandil system". I searched the WEG sources given for each of those and corrected what I saw as errors. --Eyrezer 22:08, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * On another note, I wonder if Bettle could be nommed for GA. If all the info is there, it should qualify (I think you're the one who has worked on it). --Eyrezer 23:28, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm curious to hear your reactions to the collection of Atlas quotes that Dan Wallace posted. I saw on his blog that you thought you could guess at a most of them. --Eyrezer 08:28, 16 February 2008 (UTC)
 * It appears SenatorCilghal agrees with you. --Eyrezer 21:58, 17 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Would you mind checking another detail for me in an AJ? I'm curious as to the origins of Catarlo Sector. Our own article, and the CUSWE list GG12, however, I've failed to find it there. Moff Harlow is said to be the ruler of this sector, and CUSWE sources him to SWAJ11. Having done some crosschecking with the only world said to be in the sector--Cadomai Prime--I think the mention might come from the Galaxywide NewsNets in SWAJ11. If you are able to check that when you have time, it would be greatly appreciated. --Eyrezer 11:11, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Great. And presumably it does place Cadomai Prime in that sector? --Eyrezer 12:28, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * "Help me, jSarek, you're my only hope!" I want to do some work on the Ado Sector and so today I've been looking at the info that relates to it. For the life of me, though, I can't find the Ado Spine in Pirates & Privateers. Looking for those two little words is driving me crazy. I see you listed some info on it on your site. Do you have a page number for it anywhere? I've also removed from the Wookieepedia info placing Eiattu in the Ado Sector, as I've found no canon basis for this. However, it looks like Jason is placing it there from the carto thread. Any thoughts? I presume it must be new placement, which is his job, rather than an pre-existing one. --Eyrezer 04:31, 8 March 2008 (UTC)
 * The internet directed me to page 110... --Eyrezer 04:36, 8 March 2008 (UTC)

Block
Hey, jSarek. Could you please unblock User:87.11.0.0\16 and then re-block that username for infinite? I recently did a range block that was aimed at a known Wikia troll called, among other things, Jtv.

As seen here --> 16:07, 17 March 2008, Greyman (Talk | contribs | block) blocked 87.11.0.0/16 (Talk) (infinite, anon. only, account creation blocked) (known range for Jtv, cross-wikia troll.) (unblock)

The username is an obvious play on the range I blocked, and the troll must be using a proxy. I've just asked Wikia Staff to do a Checkuser for me, to determine the range that was now used, so I can take care of it. I thought I'd ask you, instead of simply doing it myself, due to a recent policy --> Administrative autonomy. Thanks for your time, jSarek. Greyman ( Talk ) 00:39, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Image
I was trying to source this image. At least going by the character's article, the image doesn't appear to be from the CCG. Can you shed any light? --Eyrezer 09:39, 19 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, if you have time, could you look up the Vaathkree Trade Corridor for me? It is meant to be in SWAJ12, but I'm unable to give any guidance as what what specific article. Our article states it is in the Inner Rim (as does CUSWE), yet our Vaathkree article claims the planet was situated on it (the planet is in the ORT). I'm guessing that the planet placement is speculation based on the name. If you could check that for me it would be much appreciated. --Eyrezer 09:40, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Gonk beat you to it :) --Eyrezer 11:02, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you source Junkin to the CCG? --Eyrezer 11:52, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --Eyrezer 03:50, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

WTS
Congrats on getting another entry in WTS. That was fantastic. - Lord Hydronium 03:03, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I, too, shall chime in to say that that was ridiculously awesome. Now, if only they could expand that to short-story length . . . Havac 21:02, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Congrats man!! I loved the Taxidriver reference :) --Eyrezer 03:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Mailing list
Hey, jSarek. I've set up a private administrator mailing list to help coordinate the current administrators of the site, and I am attempting to contact each administrator to get them to subscribe. You can subscribe here. My point with setting up this mailing list to get all of the administrators of Wookieepedia operating on the same page, and in a more unified fashion. Regardless of any personal differences that may exist between some members, I still feel that it is important that we are all operating on the same level, with regards to knowledge of the site, and new/upcoming stuff that is going to happen&mdash;so, basically, this is an attempt to coordinate us all in an effort to help keep us on the same page with regards to new policies, new ideas, announcements, discussions, etc. In my opinion, we're all on the same team and this will only help us to be a more organized and cohesive working unit&mdash;even more so than we currently are. I've already spoken with a few admins via IRC, and they have liked my point of this whole thing, and have thus signed up&mdash;I would really appreciate it you could do likewise :) Any questions about this, you know where you can reach me. Cheers, Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 15:57, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Mission to Goratak III
You mentioned on Talk: Mission to Goratak III that you owned Star Wars Miniatures Battles. There's a problem with the timeline for that battle I noticed: we've got it after the Battle of Hoth, which seems to be way too late for Jodo Kast to be involved. Can you check that? Thanks, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 01:01, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification! &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 11:23, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Research
Do you have No Disintegrations? --Eyrezer 12:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Our article on the planet Anemcoro describes it as a Ho'Din colony. I'd like to know if the "colony" description is correct. I can't provide much help as to where it will be mentioned in the book, only that it is related to the Ho'Din Ort Hoogra-D'En. Any help you can provide would be greatly appreciated. --Eyrezer 06:45, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Great! I'm currently trying to take Atrivis sector to FA, and in the BTS I'm going to include a carto section with some comments on other possible planets in the sector. I don't want it to be too much OR though. Would you mind having a look at that section? It's here. --Eyrezer 10:24, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed. That's why I've tried to keep it quite tight. If I was Jason, there would be a bunch more worlds that could arguably be placed there, but less clearly. There is an extent, however, to which I'd say that carto is unique in allowing some of this. I guess we will find out what is acceptable when I nom it :p --Eyrezer 11:13, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Pharl
Oh, that is most excellent! I didn't see yet that you had added it. I can now appropriately link to that. :) Thanks much, JS! Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:29, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

The Colour Black

 * I am terribly sorry, but I am afraid I must disagree with your hue-related judgement with much vigour. As Miltin Takel's hair shows, brown is far lighter than this particular colour, which, as you can see with Josef Grunger, is so plainly black.--Mith&#39;raw&#39;nuruodo 22:22, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Out of curiousity, why was JMAS blocked? Drewton  00:06, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Kol Skywalker Article
Hi... there's some unregistered user constantly undoing any change made to Kol Skywalker. I've added an image of Kol as a force ghost but he keeps undoing changes, even removing new information. I'm telling you this before it comes down to some edit war.--Gonzalo84 05:18, 30 May 2008 (UTC)

He's pretty much said that he'll keep undoing any change we make because he thinks what we have added is (and I quote him) "crap". Hardly a good attitude for an admin.--Gonzalo84 04:08, 31 May 2008 (UTC)

RE: Kura
Thanks for the notice. I guess that was part of it. :) VT-16 09:08, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

Emperor's Shadow
According to the article about him (don't have those sources), he escaped Endor aboard it and crashed it into an ocean on Kaal later. VT-16 17:19, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Hope you don't mind

Legacy
Hey jSarek! Wow, thanks for replacing those Legacy images. I actually realized that I had simply resized, without cropping, a few of them after I had finished making the characters section, such as Sia Fel, and I had planned to fix it this week; my editing of both the Legacy and Dark Times articles has been very slow-going due to work and other summer stuff, so I actually feel pretty bad having my inuse template on them when my editing is very... gradual. I'll remove them soon; I really just want to add short bios to the character sections and then leave it at that. But yeah, thanks so much for doing that, and sorry again for re-uploading images. This is Jeff Ferguson, by the way. Menkooroo 00:03, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Oh! And thanks for adding the info to the files. I actually can't believe I didn't add the licensing to them; another fact that I realized afterwards, but I actually couldn't figure out how to edit the images. It's a good thing that there are knowledgeable Wookieepedians around --- I knew that I couldn't make the Legacy and Dark Times articles as good as the KOTOR one by myself, but I thought that I could give them a push in that direction and hope that others would continue with them. I MAY get around to doing Rebellion too... maybe. :^)

Also, I think I may have re-uploaded some images in the Dark Times characters section without cropping them, but I'll get around to fixing that this week too. I do know how to resize images, mostly because I've been getting a lot better at this whole article-editing thing as I've been coming along. Cheers! Menkooroo 00:12, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Redirects
Hey, jSarek :) Just letting you know that redirecting pages to Constantly recreated pages won't work. The pages actually have to be added to the that page in the format established there. Just thought I'd let you know, Greyman ( Talk ) 01:21, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it; I went ahead and added the page names to WP:CRP and deleted the actual articles. Greyman ( Talk ) 01:48, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Yavin sentry

 * This image claims to be from the CCG. Can you confirm it? --Eyrezer 11:58, 24 June 2008 (UTC)
 * I can, and I have. jSarek 13:09, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Far Orbit
Thank you for that. I might give it a mention in the BTS, do you think that would be suitable? Thefourdotelipsis 23:37, 2 July 2008 (UTC)

No problem at all, jSarek. Hope all is well with you, Greyman ( Talk ) 00:59, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

Togruta Nomination
Would you be interested in adding anything to the Togruta page or nominating it? Xzylongann 02:40, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

What linked there
That Joe Layton article you deleted for having "NO work done on Star Wars"... well, he was a producer on The Star Wars Holiday Special, and was being linked to from that article. So, y'know... would you mind? -- Ozzel 10:57, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Good call; I should've been more familiar with the rule. Anywho, I added the Holiday Special credit to the article. Thanks. -- Ozzel 09:13, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Tiss'shar
Hey, JS. I just wanted to make sure you caught my last comment on the FAN page for Tiss'shar before it was archived. I bulleted the races field in the infobox, but it kind of stretched it all out a bit, so I wasn't sure if you liked that better, or just listing them by commas as you had them. Like I said, throw it back to how it was if you like that better. Nice job on the article. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:27, 1 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Changed to concrete wording of newer source, and added brief note about the variety seen in Empire 31 to the BTS section. jSarek 11:15, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Okiedoke, I also changed the accompanying infobox wording to reflect this change, and alphabetized and bulleted the races. Feel free to tinker with that if you don't like it. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:55, 29 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hmm, yeah I had considered that too when I was changing it. I looked at the way each was listed and described in the actual article, and I wasn't exactly sure why they were in that order, save of course, the first two. If UAA does indeed list them in that order, it would seem to me also that that's most likely done for a reason, and could probably be listed that way in the article. Ultimately up to you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 00:25, 2 August 2008 (UTC)

Images
Hey jSarek --- I'm unsure whether or not non-admins can delete images; I'm pretty sure they're not, and if so, I was wondering if you could delete some for me? I redid the characters section of the Dark Times article, and there are a few mugshots I uploaded a few months ago that are just copies of already existing images. They can be found at: Image:Bomo-mugshot.JPG Image:Jennir-mugshot.JPG Image:Kkruhk-mugshot.JPG Image:Crys-mugshot.JPG Image:Heren-mugshot.JPG. If so, thanks so much!

Fjodin asks - Why delete my gifs?
Why you deleted my gifs? I spend a lot of time to extract models of Sith Fighter, Republic Fighter and G-Wing from KOTOR and made an animation? Please usk!
