TCG
Yes, we should. We list all sources, regardless of whether or not they present new information. Even an image with a name attached to it is some information. Please refrain from removing those links in future. Thefourdotelipsis 03:58, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

Warning
Please do not alter featured articles to reflex more lax systems of sourcing, as you did in Jhoram Bey. This diminishes the quality of the works. If you do so again, you may face a block from editing. Thank you. Graestan ( Talk ) 13:51, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The difference would be that those two articles are not featured articles, and Jhoram Bey is. This is a fundamental trend towards more preciseness and accuracy in our articles. Graestan ( Talk ) 14:00, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, why not? Graestan ( Talk ) 14:35, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Images
Bigger size does not equal better quality. The large Japanese covers you are uploaded from TFN are extremely grainy and speckled. I'll be taking the one's you uploaded and shrinking them down to despeckle them. I've reverted the ones that had previous uploads. Thanks. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 19:18, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That'll work for me. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 19:39, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:New novels

 * Go ahead and make the articles, but make sure to use the appropriate book names, or as best as we know. I'll get the news template updated. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 19:13, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Ship names

 * Sorry, got them from a thread on WOTC. The opening poster got an advance copy. Names on page two. I only added those that are 100% clear. Anything else might be anything from TOTJ or KOTOR. VT-16 07:47, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the heads-up! :) VT-16 10:03, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Legacy ad

 * Thanks very much for the award! What is the source for the KOTOR ad? --Jinzler 22:02, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks again, I will see if I can find it --Jinzler 22:12, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Uploads
Please add sources to any image you upload, using the information template provided on the upload page. Cheers, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 12:39, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Probably not, but each image page on Wikipedia should list its original source. Some images from Wikipedia might have been taken by users; if they're marked with GDFL or a similar template then you should be okay to use 'em as a source. :-) -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 12:54, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Infobox images
If you add an infobox to a page, and the main image input is less than 250px wide, please put the image width exactly and not stretch it. An example of this is Terry Austin where you stretched a 139px image to 250px which made it look horrid. Thanks. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 21:58, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. Must have overlooked that one :) Mauser 22:12, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Order 66
Hi, I noticed you put Dramatis personae section in the upcoming Order 66: A Republic Commando Novel. I would like to know what are your sources. Do you have already the book? I know it suppose to come out September 16th and on article talk page someone wrote it's already out in Europe. Well, I'm in USA and it's not out yet here. I'm just wondering if it's already out somewhere around the world :). Thanks--Jedi Marty 15:13, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Re: Clone Wars
I would, but i don't know how to put the little number by stuff and have it link to the source at the bottom of the page. o.O Here's the URL, though.. http://starwars.com/vault/books/news20080908.html --The Wolfe22 18:42, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Feel like another page?
Feel like creating another article for Star Wars Legacy: The Hidden Temple (TPB) to go with Image:SWLEGV5-FC.jpg? I don't know the series well enough to do it justice. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:51, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure do. Was going to do it soon, but thanks anyway.
 * P.S. I love this montly rush when a comics update comes up, people immediately start working on it and in like an hour Wookieepedia is perfectly up to date =) Mauser 23:55, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Warning
Please adhere to the image policy when uploading any image, including providing a full upload summary as provided on the upload page, complete with correct sources and licensing. Image:Chris Eliopolous.jpg is copied directly from Wikipedia, but you nowhere state this. Any further infractions of this nature will be met with a block from editing, and if the mentioned image is not correctly summarized and sourced, I will be deleting it. Thank you. Graestan ( Talk ) 00:50, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Interesting. Because I was approached with the same request earlier and when I asked "Does Wikipedia count as a source?", the answer was "Probably not" (3 sections above). Seriously, that image has no weblink and no source other than self-made. If wikipedia cannot be a source, could you please explain what exactly should I do except for providing GNU tag? Also please note that I always follow policy on images with clear and obvious sources. But wiki-images are a different case and I was not enlightened on that matter before. Mauser 01:12, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Furthermore, do not place deletion tags on images less than twenty seconds after they are uploaded. Image:Virtus.jpg may very well have been a user image, which we are free to upload. As well, you are not an administrator, and continuing false tagging for deletion will be met with a block from editing. Graestan ( Talk ) 00:55, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I am well aware that I'm not an admin and now I see that I was wrong in that particular case. I didn't notice that image was just uploaded and decided that it was simply unused fanart image. If it really ended up on a userpage, the request for deletion wouldn't be carried out anyway. Again, please note that I tagged with IFD tag many unused and duplicate images before and as far as I remember, all of them were indeed rightfully deleted. Mauser 01:12, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Actually, no, there have been a couple of instances where I came in and removed the deletion tags from image summaries upon further investigation. You're not the only user involved in the tagging spree to which I refer, but your name has come up more than once for me when I either had to undelete something I'd deleted or check the usage before making deletion decisions. As far as Wikipedia images go, sourcing and licensing them here the way they are sourced and licensed there is best, as well as mentioning the source for the image on this wiki (i.e. mention where it's from and that you also snagged it from Wikipedia). Graestan ( Talk ) 01:57, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, I got it about the wiki-images info. But isn't the IFD tag for the images, which usefullness is at question and has to be re-checked? Mauser 02:06, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Re:Sullustan Jedi
There's nothing wrong with the image itself, but images should always support text and so shouldn't be placed alongside sources/appearances lists. Feel free to create an article for it or replace another image with it. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 10:44, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
