RE:Annoying thing at top of infobox
What you do is put the refs in the infobox between a, like this--. And then it disappears. That's a little trick I've learned by hanging around the recent changes. Hope that helps. Unit 8311 16:40, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Re:TOTJ Project
Thanks for the offer to help out, JMAS. I'm currently working on a complete rewrite/expansion or the Great Sith War, and I know there are several other projects on the go among the projects other users. I'll get the word out to them on IRC regarding your offer. If I do (and I probably will) come across any pictures I need, either for the GSW or other future projects, I'll be sure to let you know. Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 22:20, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

3RR
You have broken the Three-revert rule, and this is your warning. The next instance will result in a ban. In the future, please discuss any differing opinions with the editors involved before you revert. Thanks. -- Ozzel 04:17, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Nice try
Tsk, tsk. Going behind my back to try to get your block lifted. That might have worked in the past, but now we have a rule specifically designed to prevent that. Funny thing is, since I knew you were now aware of the ongoing quantity-over-quality CT in the Senate Hall and I got the feeling you understood that I wasn't the only one who was tired of your shenanigans, I considered unblocking you early. Now it seems that maybe you didn't get the point, so there's NO chance of that happening now. :-) -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 22:55, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Source for image
Would you be able to provide a more specific source for the following picture you uploaded? Image:TOTJDLOTS2-FC.jpg. It's currently in an article that I have up for FAN, and one of the objections is to the source of this picture. Currently it says that it is the cover art of Tales of the Jedi: Dark Lords of the Sith 2: The Quest for the Sith, which technically it is. But the actual cover art is seen in this picture. Did you get Image:TOTJDLOTS2-FC.jpg from a website hosting artwork of Hugh Fleming's, maybe? Or did you find it another publication somewhere? If you would be able to provide the specific source for that image it would be much appreciated. Thanks, Greyman ( Paratus ) 19:01, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Still doing it
Good Lord, man! Look in the top right quarter of Image:Galactic_Senate.png! Do you not SEE what doesn't belong there? Is it your monitor or your eyes that are defective? -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 02:26, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Good "Executor" pic
I love the pic of Vader's med chamber from down the hall. Nice work! Toprawa and Ralltiir 02:18, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

Search icons
Just wanted to let you know before you get to into it, there's two things to keep in mind on the search icons. Imp wants to make sure they are cropped only on the bottom, meaning nothing coming in from the left or top. (Yeah, I'm not thrilled about it either, but I can understand the idea of wanting them to seem more like the sit atop the box). The other thing is, we need to leave at least two pixels of white on the left side on the bottom because, for whatever reason, these things are wider than the actual box and they hang over (see here). So yeah, I'm gonna have to redo or throw out some I just did, so I thought I'd give you a heads up as well. -- Ozzel 02:25, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Thanks for the heads up. I'll redo the ones I just uploaded that are able to fit that criteria. - JMAS 02:33, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

Hi
Don't worry, if it already has an article, I won't redirect it. All of the redirects I've done so far were already redirected; I was just redirecting it to a specific section in the article if that makes any sense.&mdash; Darthtyler http://images.wikia.com/swfanon/images/1/18/Scuba_Diver.gif Talk 04:38, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I see. No worries then. - JMAS 04:59, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

Categorization
While I appreciate your enthusiasm, please be sure to properly categorize articles when filling redlinks. It's not really helping anyone if you just create an orphan page and set it adrift. Thank you. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 05:20, 20 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll get right on that. - JMAS 05:23, 20 November 2007 (UTC)

Source
Could you provide a source for this image? Thanks --Eyrezer 04:50, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Honestly, all I did was notice the LFL logo at the bottom and all the excess white space above and below, and so, cropped it down from what was originally uploaded. I do know it's from either Star Wars: Starfighter or Star Wars: Jedi Starfighter. But no actual source as to where that promotional image came from. I'll see if I can't track that down though. - JMAS 04:54, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, done. Found it at IGN. - JMAS 05:16, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for taking the time to work out the source. Much appreciated. --Eyrezer 02:48, 30 November 2007 (UTC)

8t88 with pet pic
Hi there ;) I've just seen you've uploaded a new version of the . Well, sorry to say that, but even if it's in bigger resolution, the colors are really bad in my opinion, and the pic seems really blurry. I'm not sure it's a good idea to update a pic only because of its resolution. Myself, I prefer a small but nice colored picture than a big one. The version I've had uploaded before yours comes directly from the artist's website, and with having the book, I can assure you that my version is more respectfull of the original art. Kaal 10:41, 2 December 2007 (UTC)

Re: Thon headshot
Hey JMAS. I'll see what I can do over the weekend with regards to this image. Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 04:17, 8 December 2007 (UTC)
 * There ya go, I hope this is what you had in mind :) Greyman ( Paratus ) 15:53, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Userpage galleries
Your user subpage galler(y/ies) (is/are) organized in a fashion which appears to be useful for categorization, so I did not delete them in the same batch as all other userpage galleries. They will, however, be deleted sometime in the next week. We would appreciate it if you would convert your personal galleries to image categorization by the new category tree as soon as possible. Thank you. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 06:19, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I had wondered if that was why they had so far been spared. I'll be working on it. As I get each page done, I'll let you or another admin know the gallery can be vaped. - JMAS 06:22, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Mos Eisley TFU
is not from The Force Unleashed website but from Battlefront: Renegade Squadron website. Kaal 12:14, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
 * You're right. As it was, I was dealing with pics from both games and just copied and pasted incorrectly when filling out the source. You don't have to tell me I'm wrong so that I can fix it though. You can just correct the error yourself. - JMAS 21:20, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Image categorization
I greatly appreciate your categorization of images from the galleries. You have been quite helpful with the menial task. In fact, I believe you deserve an award, say maybe....
 * Always glad to help. Thanks for that. - JMAS 21:09, 12 December 2007 (UTC)

Image help
I have been referred to you in the matter of rescanning an image, this image especially. It is from Star Wars: Purge, very near the end of the comic. If you could help me, I would appreciate it. Thank you. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  18:28, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but I'm not able to help you with that one, Solus. I don't own Purge. Might try Redemption. - JMAS 18:55, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * All right, thank you. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  20:00, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

Did you not see...
the template I'd put up there? I lost a good section's worth of additions thanks to you. I hope you're happy.-- Goodwood  ( Alliance Intelligence ) 21:35, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * First off, you can't "lose" an addition which is why there is a "History" tab at the top. Secondly, there had been no edits made in 20 minutes at the time I made my first very minor correction. And another 15 minutes between my second edit, and the one made by another user that WASN'T YOU. - JMAS 21:44, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Pardon my ignorance, but last I checked the WIP template is supposed to be respected for as long as the article's creator leaves it up -- it says that right there on the article. Irregardless, your somewhat flimsy excuse in regards to time between edits is just that, flimsy. I lost the section due to an edit conflict between my edit and yours, if you must know. Kindly respect the intent of the WIP template from now on, please.-- Goodwood [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 21:52, 1 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Fine, I won't touch your article again. But let me give you a little tip for dealing with the inevitable edit conflicts that will happen from time to time. When you get the conflict screen, go down to the lower window which will contain the edit you were trying to make. Then either save your edit which will overwrite the one the other conflicting editor is making, or copy and paste what you just worked on and paste it into the upper edit window thereby incorporating your edit AND the edit of the other person. I will take responsibility for causing an edit conflict page to show up. Beyond that, any loss of information had nothing to do with me. - JMAS 22:11, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

Swordmaster
Good Morning JMAS,

Is there any particular reason you keep changing the pic on the Swordmaster page from the Mace Windu pic that was there to Yoda pic? Please advise, thanks. Tommy 06:29, 2 January 2008 (UTC)Tommy9281, 01/02/08 1:23am
 * Yes, there is. A "live-action/CGI shot, such as the Yoda image, is always preferable over an illustration, such as the Mace Windu EGTF image. Besides, the Windu image is fine where it is. - JMAS 07:02, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! (UTC)Tommy9281, 01/02/08 2:10am

Onderon
I'm sorry, but I'm afraid that your edits to the Onderon article were unnecassary, you see, the image I have uploaded is better, since it actually shows Onderon, and not a space-view of Iziz. Also, until all that government information is added to the planet infobox, I'm afraid that the government infobox I have placed must stay where it is; I'd love to add the source to the planet infobox, but the sourcing for Wookieepedia infobox templates are a bit different to what I'm used to. Please do not undo my edits, unless you can find a better image (not the one you tried to place) and/or unless you add the government infobox information source to the planet infobox (that way we can add planetary government information to any planet article).--Vaklu 20:01, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I'm sorry. The image you uploaded is tiny. And you do not place multiple infoboxes in an article. It screws up the article formatting. - JMAS 20:05, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I will try to enhance the image. Meanwhile, the formatting was not messed up, however, if, as I requested, you could add the sourcing to the planet infobox, or tell me how, then we could solve the problem altogether.--Vaklu 20:15, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You can't add it. It's not meant to go into a planet infobox. And yes, the formatting was messed up. The edit links for the first three sections were all pressed together. That is a formatting problem brought on by adding the second infobox. As for enhancing the image, I hope you are going to attempt to get a higher res screencap of the same image, because just enlarging the current small image probably won't fly here. - JMAS 20:26, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I reuploaded it, I don't know what you'll think, however. As for the formatting, perhaps on your screen, but not mine; nevertheless, I did not re-add it. Also, that image does belong (or rather, could) in an infobox: it's perfectly shaped. Finally, if you don't want to add the gov. info. from the gov. infobox into the planet infobox, please tell me how to, so that I can do it instead (because, as I have said, the sourcing for infoboxes on Wookieepedia is unusual to me).--Vaklu 20:32, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * It's a Wookieepedia template, and if you attempt to edit the template, an admin will just revert it. Templates should only be edited by those who are knowledgeable in how to do so. Minot edits are usually fine. But you are wanting to make a major addition to the template and before doing something like that, it needs to be discussed and agreed upon by people on the template talk page. - JMAS 20:42, 16 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I see. P.S. I am knowledgeable, I just don't understand the sourcing on Wookieepedia for infoboxes, it's all inter-templating and wierd things like that, not plain sourcing.--Vaklu 23:39, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

COPPA violation
According to my colleagues we've actually phased out that rule, and the page you have cited is actually out of date. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thefourdotelipsis 06:23, 17 January 2008 (UTC)

Please please please please...
...learn how to use a scanner! I've had to tag the last fifteen images you've uploaded today with the Imagequality template.-- Goodwood  ( Alliance Intelligence ) 19:47, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't scan them. I got them from the Publisher's website. - JMAS 19:55, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You're kidding, right?-- Goodwood [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 19:57, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Not at all. They are from the Dorling Kindersley publisher page as sample pages of the various books. And the reason I used them is because they are full scan of double page images that would be impossible to scan at home without a crease line down the middle. - JMAS 19:59, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Image unlock
Done. Nice user image. Next time I need to clean under my house, I'll give you a call. Graestan ( Talk ) 17:46, 23 January 2008 (UTC)
 * LOL Thanks. I was lucky. Earlier that day, I had seen a different attendant at the ride refuse to let other people go behind the rope to get that shot. I asked later in the day, less crowded, nicer attendant. - JMAS 17:51, 23 January 2008 (UTC)

Category deletion
I noticed you blanked the text in two pages in the "Category:" namespace. I assumed you meant to delete them, so I did. In future, please put the delete template on the empty or mistitled category page you want deleted, and include the reason for deletion. Thanks, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:23, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I thought about that after the fact. Thanks for catching it. - JMAS 22:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Ibtisam
Thanks for the image. I'll stick it in next time I edit the article. Cheers, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 11:15, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Gamer 2
Hey JMAS. Just wondering if you have a copy of Gamer 2? There is an image in there that would be good for the Moorja article. --Eyrezer 01:58, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, no, I don't. Might try Volemlock or VT-16 though. - JMAS 02:01, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Cheers. I left a message with Vol a while back but he has been away for a while. Will try again. --Eyrezer 02:17, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
