Prose issues
It's really very minor, a quick fix really, but I didn't want to damage your prose style, so I just left it and objected. It's in the lower section, where the prose tends to become less compelling - I suppose the part where you mention "dressmaker" twice in the same sentence that bothered me. When you fix it up, you will have my full support. . .  .  .  02:23, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, that's OK, it just jumped out to me. And with Ankanah...or however the hell you spell it, it was mostly formatting things...ship titles not in italics...more little things, but it's the little things, you know? .  .  .  .  02:43, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It's fine. I'm supporting now. .  .  .  .  06:50, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Palpatine
Then why didn't you back me up when the arguement was raging? J/K :P. But have you read that whole, huge arguement? Erik says he's going to do something to the Conclusions section...hopefully move it down a bit. Anyway, i've agreed to stop arguing about it and accept it for what it is...I sure as hell won't touch it. . .  .  .  04:16, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Eh, what can you do? Esp. when you're arguing against Jack Nebulax. That's like arguing with the legal section of your local library. No facts put up against you...just stubborn belief. .  .  .  .  04:22, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I've sparred with him on Talk:Rune Haako, and in other places. Hell, he even told me "don't call Saxton a wacko". The nerve. But I don't particularly hate him or anything...in fact, sometimes, he's good value for money...but he can be abbrasive. .  .  .  .  06:04, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. According to some sources, he's improved - I'd hate to come across him pre-supposed-reformation. In fact, he would be an admin if it weren't for his stubborn denial. .  .  .  .  06:15, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

WOTM
To me, WOTM seems to be about momentum. I thought you had quite a bit at the moment with Adlaric just being on th front page and the Nagai-Tof War making it though. Empire Reborn is now ancient history round here! Anyway it looks like Borsk is running away with it. It's funny that it is often the loser of the month before that wins it! As to the comics, I got a number of the 70s ones in an auction here, but the set is incomplete. I noticed that many of the pics you upload are a lot cleaner than my ones and wondered if that was the case. The two I put on Kiro's page could probably be re-uploaded with cleaner versions. --Eyrezer 10:42, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah I voted for Volemlock. That Gamorrean article is incredible, one of the best articles I have seen I think. I never really thought much of those guys but after reading that article I now think they are quite cool, which is probably one of the best tributes you can give to an article. --Eyrezer 11:12, 4 November 2006 (UTC)

Drovian and Bloodlines
Hey Cull, just wondering if you are able to get those scans of the Drovian info for me from EGtPM and EGtAS. ALso have you read Betrayal and Bloodlines? I just finished Bloodlines last night. Was a great read I thought, although I hate what Jacen is turning into. --Eyrezer 02:43, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * It's been a while since I read Betrayal now. I remember I also thought it was pretty awesome too. Nice to see some collective Jedi action. This one only really has the main guys. I also really enjoying reading about Fett. I have to say I'm looking forward to soeone smacking down Jacen! Was already thinking of a fanfic for it. lol. Oh and happy thanksgiving. --Eyrezer 04:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I finally got around to finishing the article. Thanks for the scans. --Eyrezer 12:08, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Objection adressed. . .  .  .  22:15, 3 December 2006 (UTC)

Anakin
Oh, that's OK. I think I held my own, until the personal attacks started coming through...interestingly enough, they weren't from Jack...they were from some dude with an ego problem who was flattering himself into thinking that I was targeting him.

It's a wacky community, I tell ya. . .  .  .  09:13, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, unlike a lot of people here, I prefer to take it on the chin. I haven't been there this long, and my edit cound doesn't look all that impressive, but I can assure you, most of my edits have got it where it counts. Its usually the wackos that are unstable in the first place - I'm not talking about Jack...I actually consider him to be good value for money, now that I know him a tad better. But what amazes me, is that we have 10 year olds here that act more rationally than "mature" users. .  .  .  .  09:47, 5 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Shame that sentiment isn't shared by more around here. .  .  .  .  09:57, 5 December 2006 (UTC)

My userimage
Thanks for looking through her archives to find that post, I completely forgot about it. Since my memory is bad, I think the reason I didn't show her my page was that I didn't have a page. I just put the image that I liked after asking her, and made up some information based on a particular idea I had at the time. Though I didn't tell her this, I can't imagine why I wouldn't have.--Herbsewell 15:18, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

Zao Image Reply
it's from The trackdown comics, when Tholme and Zao are conversating slightly edited to remove the talk bubble &mdash;Unsigned comment by Darth Nyne (talk &bull; contribs).
 * No problem on the help sorry for any misconceptions, when I came across him in these images I thought they looked more wise than the psychotic looking one that was up. Glad I could help  N.Y.N.E. Comlink[[Image:sithempire2.png|30px]] 05:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Congrats
Congrats on adminship! WhiteBoy 06:20, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

 * Congratulations! Alas, we can no longer be the Lost Twenty :P —Xwing328 (Talk) 06:39, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Thank you. :P 21 is always a good number! Thanks. Cull Tremayne 07:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Belated congrats, though I was the one who told WhiteBoy to give you POWAHH!!! UN-LIM-IT-ED POWAHH!!! ;-) Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 06:08, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, to add to above, congrats. Enjoy ruling the galaxy with a Cortosis fist! --Eyrezer 06:20, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Congratulations. Green Tentacle (Talk) 13:50, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Quote formatting
Careful with formatting. Take a look at Quote of the Day/Archive to see what you're doing wrong. Enochf 22:11, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, it's real easy, it's just like using strikeout s, so you just bracket everything on the page that isn't the quote with a noinclude and then a /noinclude. Enochf 22:22, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Zuckuss
I know you are working on Zuckuss, and I saw this pic and wondered if it might be him in Super Star Wars. Dengar and IG-88 are there as well so it is quite likely this is meant to be him. --Eyrezer 10:55, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Zuckuss apparently also has a cousin, one Lu'daal-ud from Alliance Intelligence Reports, p34. --Eyrezer 02:32, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Star Wars Missions
Sure...it's been a while, but I'll check up on it. . .  .  .  03:24, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, along with 4-LOM, he waits and ambushes a bounty hunter (the player). They don't go to Vactooine along with the other hunters (Dengar, IG-88, Bossk and the Fett Controler) because their ship is undergoing repairs at the time. The reason the Bounty Hunters are sent out is because Jabba is worried that the army of droids lead by 1-2-4C-41 are trying to kill him. But in fact, they are really after EV-9D9. The bounty hunter defeats 4-LOM and Zuckuss and delivers the news.

Point of interest: Zuckuss is named as a "Gann" in this book. . .  .  .  03:35, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So the player character is Fett? Is there a reason given as to why Zuckuss ambushes the player? Is the PC another hunter who is trying to tell Jabba that 1-2-4C-41 is not after him, and Zuckuss and 4-LOM are just trying to protect Jabba? Do you know what the timeline is like for this book? Is it before Yavin or around there?

No, the player character is not Fett, it's ambiguous. You could be Fett, IG-88, Dengar or Bossk. Zuckuss ambushes the player so that he can deliver the news  and intel to Jabba and claim the bounty. The player is trying to tell Jabba and claim the Bounty. And apparently, the book takes place in 0-1 ABY. Somewhere in there. As I'm sure you know, the whole timeline of the immediate post-Yavin is very hazy, since there is so much material that does not acknowledge other material set at the same time. And since Missions is fairly obscure, it's not set in stone, timeline wise. . .  .  .  03:46, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * He's just trying to rob the PC of the info. At least, I think that's what he's trying to do. It may sound lame, but hey, it's Windham. .  .  .  .  04:09, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem...I seem to be the only person who owns these things. But it's heartening to know that other people need this info, and my effort is not in vain. .  .  .  .  04:16, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

WOTM Objection

 * This may be slightly semantic, but at least part of your objection to Jaina Solo is invalid. The page you pulled the top 50 most edited pages is wildly inaccurate. Palpatine has over 4000 edits, while Jaina's talk page most certainly doesn't. That page also doesn't include Luke Skywalker, who has over 2500 edits. Clearly, the statistics page (which also happens to have my talk page on it by some strange twist of fate- and that doesn't get used much) is clearly inaccurate.

Re:FA Review Board
Hi! Thanks for considering me, after some initial hesitation I now think I would indeed be interested. The Inquisitorius thing is the sort of work I do here anyway, so why not? I'm kinda busy with my studies this spring, but I think I could handle being a member-at-large, if people will vote for me that is. :) So go ahead and nominate me if I'm still needed. --Tinwe 15:27, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

Image sources
Thanks for sourcing those images for me. To be honest, I'm rather surprised to realise I hadn't sourced the Tunroth images, considering I went through and did it for all my other major articles! Anyway, cheers. --Eyrezer 04:13, 31 January 2007 (UTC)

RE: Forum:Featured Article Reform Proposal
I think that's all. Thanks for asking me if I wanted to get involved. I'd be happy to commit myself to helping ensure FAs meet a certain level of quality and do intend to look at it more often (having helped get Bria Tharen there has inspired me) but I don't feel that I can be hypocritical enough to get directly involved with an idea that I disagree with, as much as the promise of unlimited power is tempting. Green Tentacle (Talk) 10:08, 1 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I can see what you're trying to do and I agree that the FA process does need an overhaul, hence voting for everything else. I just have some concerns about the Inquisitor idea:
 * I'm aware that there are a lot of objections which never get struck (Imp's got a few on their at the moment and seems to have gone walkabout) and that there is a need for these to be struck off in cases where the objector is nowhere to be found. But, I'd be more inclined to support striking the objection as long as five users agree that it has been addressed with none opposing its removal, rather than limiting that decision to a small group. I'd also suggest that an "objection addressed" message be left on the objector's talk page as well as the FA page before any decision to remove the objection is made.
 * As for the downgrading of FAs. Again, I don't see why this has to be limited to the Inquisitors. With the new, more precise criteria, it should be possible for anybody who thinks article quality has degraded to propose downgrading the article, stating clearly which criteria they think it now fails on. But the decision to act on that should be open to everybody, not just the Inquisitors.
 * I know that part of the argument for this is that the proposed members are the ones who are most frequently involved in the FA process. Given that, if the vote was left open, you'd probably all vote anyway. I have no objection to a WookieeProject or something where people commit to working on FAs but to give specific powers just seeems to elevate those users above the others and, remember, there is no cabal.
 * I also agree that many users, myself included, don't look at FA much. Personally, that's because I've always found it too subjective and only felt comfortable voting on articles I really know well. I think the new criteria make it more objective as they give clearer grounds on which to object or support and this alone would encourage me to get more involved. I doubt I'd be the only one either. Maybe it would be worth trying the other points alone for a time and introducing the Inquisitors later, if it still seems broken.

Re: FA Review
Thanks for considering me. I don't know if I've been active enough recently to do something like this, but I'd definitely make an effort to put more time in if I were on it. Generally, I've preferred to be more on the writing side than the voting side of the FA process, and to be honest, I'm not sure how appropriate I'd be. I'd be willing to give it a shot, though, and if there's any people still needed I'd be fine with a nomination. - Lord Hydronium 02:10, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

That's OK== ==

Yes, it was funny. Thanks for getting me off of IRC for a minute to do homework. (This user is addicted to Wookiepedia, dammit!) Grand Moff Rhell 02:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

I've always wondered
What do you have against Infinities End? I'm a big fan, personally. Lonnyd 10:51, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

Supergeeky1
You removed my thing on the Lamest thing in Star Wars. You said it was an unsigned vote bt in fact, it wasn't a vote! I was making a comment, not voting!!! Supergeeky1 09:21, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I am new here, and still learning! You don't have to flip out like you did! I thought I was signed in, I accidently hit the wrong button! Plus, I signed it with the four ~, not the three! I don't appreciate being treated the way you did because I forgot to sign in and I am new at voting!!! Supergeeky1 09:26, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I am sorry, from the way that I was looking at the message, I was looking at it from a different angle. Computers are great and all, but they don't show the true emotion. Again, I'm sorry. I'll work over-time on Wokkiepedia pages! I'll also make sure that I read more about using wikis! No hard feelings? Supergeeky1 09:30, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

I just thought that's what you ment. Supergeeky1 09:32, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks for excepting my apologies. You'll serve as a GREAT ally!!! Supergeeky1 09:35, 8 February 2007 (UTC)
