Battles
Please do not bold battles when they are mentioned in articles. Kuralyov 04:07, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

Dark Jedi
A Dark Jedi is one who has fallen to the darkside but not joined the Sith, which Revan and Malak did. Thus they are not Dark Jedi, they're Sith. Jasca Ducato 21:05, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * You do know that the two groups are not mutually exclusive, right? Revan and Malak were both Dark Jedi and Sith. It gets repetitive to exclusively call them one or the other, so I mixed it up. I left that comment on your talk page because I have noticed that you have a certain pattern of removing disputed information from articles without attempting to reach consensus first... --Sentry 21:13, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Comment on Dark Jedi Discussion

 * I left a response to your comments on the Notable sections section on the Dark Jedi discussion page if you'd like to check it out. Jaywin 04:14, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I left another comment at the bottom of the Anakin Skywalker section on the Dark Jedi discussion page in regards to Leland Chee's definition of Dark Jedi, if you'd like to check that one out as well. Jaywin 16:37, 18 May 2006 (UTC)

Timeline format

 * Great suggestions for a timeline format! I left some comments and suggestions, if you'd like to check them out. Jaywin 15:06, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

The Rakata

 * Thanks for your response. However, I left the same message on the Pre-Republic page, and someone left a different, yet equally interesting, response. You might want to check it out. Jaywin 03:04, 23 May 2006 (UTC)

Screenshots
Hy, would you be so kind as to tell me how you managed to take screenshots of the computer as you have done here. I could really use knowledge like this.

Also, do you know how to check the history of whats been on a screen just incase i need to search up so info. Many thanks, Jasca Ducato 17:09, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for that. But one the second point, when i asked about checking a screens history i meant something like this; My friend managed to bring up a screenshot of a conversation i had had on MSN several hours before hand which had the websites i was looking at at the time in the background. I didn't save the conversation history so i dont know how he did it. Jasca Ducato 18:58, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Problem with date of Chu'unthor crash

 * When did the Chu'unthor crash on Dathomir? The Chu'unthor article says 292 BBY. The Witches of Dathomir article says 340 BBY. The Dathomir article says 400 BBY. Do you know which one it is? Jaywin 16:47, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
 * User:RushinSundaws left a message right after you did and suggested 419 BBY. I'm guessing that this assumes that "Palpatine's ascension" refers to the year he became emperor. Comments? Jaywin 19:09, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Template box
Is a template for use ONLY on your user page really necessary? --SparqMan 03:45, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply.-- Sentry &#91;Talk&#93; 21:48, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Campaign box
I started a discussion here, if you'd like to have a look. --Eyrezer 02:12, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Awesome. I noticed you'd created that capacity but hadn't realised I was able to change colours on individual pages rather than the whole template. I've changed the box on the Empire Reborn page, but it makes me think about doing it for the individual pages as well. I could create a unified look for them, especaily if the box was at the top. Equally it might just be more distracting. I know you don't particularly like infoboxes but any thoughts? --Eyrezer 10:17, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * lol. If you look at your revert on the campaign infobox page, you'll see I'd already reverted it. Yours only affected a link! --Eyrezer 10:23, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Is it possible to have a four way battle template? The Battle of Zeltros needs one. I done it in a 3 way at the mo, but the Hiromi are not included. --Eyrezer 11:14, 16 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I thought I'd give it a go. Living in NZ the timezone I'm in is a bit different from most of the Woopieepedians I think. Can be quite interesting at times... --Eyrezer 05:50, 17 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Hi Sentry. Could you have a look at this template for a three way war I made for an upcoming article on the Nagai-Tof invasion. Are you able to make the Beginning/End line split equally into two halves? --Eyrezer 04:27, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Good idea. I forgot about doing that. Have done so now. --Eyrezer 23:29, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

RE: Userboxes
Thanks for the help Sentry, I'm kinda noob at these userbox things but I like them alot so dont mind my bumbling through the code and putting myself in the wrong categories -- The Ravager 18:20, 26 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Good job alphabetizing the templates. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:05, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Timezone template
Hi: I stole the image you put on your timezone userbox and put it at Image:Clock2uk.png. I'd like to use it on Template:User timezone, though I'm going to have to figure out how to get that userbox to be easily customizable so users can put their own timezones in. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:18, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey Sentry. I've created a starting point for a manual approach to our problem at Category:Wookieepedians by time zone. Is this good? -- Riffsyphon1024 07:37, 7 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe you've gotten the template to work now. SkywalkerPL added the template and the category was filled in. As long as the category is there, it works. Congrats. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:35, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Re: Userboxes
That's no problem. Thanks for the help (I thought that something wasn't right...)! -Lord vader1414 19:25, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Award
You've been such a big help lately in creating all these categories and getting the timezone project working, among categorization of all the other templates, so I award you this Pit Droid Award. -- Riffsyphon1024 06:50, 11 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanx Riffsyphon1024, that made my day! (er... night) ;) – Sentry &#91;Talk&#93; 06:56, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Regen
You know, I've seen "regen" posted in the summary for edits of templates a whole bunch of times, and I still don't understand it. Since you've been doing it recently, I'm singling you out to ask for an explanation. ;-) Thanks. - Lord Hydronium 08:02, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

Template
Thanks for the help with the template, Sentry. I like the tweaks. Atarumaster88 14:33, 27 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply – 07:03, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Consider it forgiven. No problems- it all worked out- but I appreciate the concern and protocol. Good idea and good reminder for all of us. Atarumaster88 13:14, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Sentry, do you have any ideas on how to trim the box on that template so it's not so filled with empty space on that right side? {Contact me with ideas before changing majorly please! LOL) Atarumaster88 19:02, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, that's fine. It's not that big of a deal. I do have a better understanding of the process though. Thanks. Atarumaster88 05:21, 29 July 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay- more ideas on  template. (Template: Argument) Since it is designed to stop ceaseless bickering and personal attacks, is it possible to direct the page where it is placed to someplace where an admin will notice it? Is that a good idea? Let me know on my talk page. BTW, I think the categories needs some work. Atarumaster88 02:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I have created Category:Civility disputes, but will that show up on every page that the template is placed? Would an administrator pay any attention to that? Atarumaster88 16:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC)

The One
I see you deleted the reference to the One as a leader of the Rakata Civil War, saying that he lived in the JEdi Civil War. Actually I had a parenthesis that said he was a pre-Republic One, not the character appearing in KOTOR. The One is a title, not the personal name of an individual, or so I think. What do you say?

Templates
Hey Sentry i'm trying to get my templates so they are on the right hand side but they keep on staying in the centre and the middle. Can you fix it or can you tell me what i'm doing wrong. Jedi jordy 64 18:27, 8 August 2006 (AEST)
 * Reply.– 09:02, 8 August 2006 (UTC)

Fine by me. The new pic is far clearer and better looking. AdmiralNick22 23:41, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Realworld
I cannot thank you enough for being so diligent. :) -- Riffsyphon1024 08:32, 22 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It gives me something to do while watching TV late at night ;) – 08:40, 22 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for noticing this punk: User:Jabba the Hut. The only edits he has made is copying two userboxes from my userpage and blanking my talkpage and userpage. What would you recommend for dealing with this? Please post on my talkpage. Huntersquid 19:55, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Unblock

 * Sentry, would you please unblock Wat Tambor if you are still online? There is a spelling/grammar error I want to fix. Atarumaster88 03:26, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * He's not an admin, but I'll unlock it for a second. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:33, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Nope, not an admin. I'm just a lowly grunt and that is the way I like it :) – 03:55, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Oops. Sorry. Well, the article was fixed anyway. For some reason, I thought you were an admin. Atarumaster88 21:38, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't worry about it. It happens. I think that the bold font in my sig might be confusing people&hellip;– 21:47, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Help
Hi, I'm sort of new to this type of thing and you're good with templates. Can you help with this template? It's template for articles or images without a source. Here's the template:


 * So can you help me with it.  Jaina Solo  (talk) [[Image:Jbig3.JPG|30px]] 19:36, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Reply.– 23:40, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I've read Template messages/Sources of articles and it seems that there is no template for images or articles that are not categorized. Maybe it can be used for that.  Jaina Solo  (talk) [[Image:Jbig3.JPG|20px]] 23:49, 28 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks anyway for helping me. I think I know who to nominate for WoTM.  Jaina Solo  (talk) [[Image:Jbig3.JPG|20px]] 00:34, 29 August 2006 (UTC)
