Re:
What did I do that SO bad!--ARC commander3 19:03, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Arc commander is an established redirect page to Advanced Recon Commando, whether you think it should be that way or not. Continuing to change that when your changes are reverted is considered vandalism. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 19:09, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

Clone recon trooper
Excuse me, but why did you remove the new Clone Recon trooper picture I had added to the article? Gry Sarth 13:48, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Very simple. It was deleted. Therefore I removed it from the article. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:49, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Wow, and do you have any idea why it was deleted? It was just the pic currently in the 1st page of the official site... Are there rules against that? Can I upload the picture again?Gry Sarth 16:50, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Only if you can give it a proper source. And if it was a rotating image on the main page of StarWars.com, then you need to explain that in the image information template. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:56, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, I'll have another go then. Gry Sarth 21:26, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Leia memory quote
This has been discussed and debated quite a bit, but no solid resolution has really come of it, has it? Can I please have a direct reference from Lucas that Leia is thinking of Padmé when she said this. Additionally, the article itself describes that it isn't clear how Leia could be remembering Padmé as her real mother, and that attempts to make Padmé fit the memory are speculative. Besides, a quote of Leia only promotes that line of thought, and although could possibly describe her emotional makeup, does not sufficiently fully describe what kind of person Padmé really was. However, if the quote is truly referencing Padmé and can be sourced to Lucas, I will be glad to make sure that it is reflected also on the quotes page so that it is solidly referenced. Gethralkin 15:39, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You are right. It has not been definitively. Therefore you should not have just arbitrarily changed it. If you think it should be changed, then you bring it to a vote on the talk page offering both options and let the community decide. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 15:45, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that. I was jumping ahead of myself. Gethralkin 16:46, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Darth Mater
By the way, what do you think of Darth Mater as a non-canonical George-approved character. Darth Culator deleted the page based on irrelevence, but I believe it is just about as relevant as Mickey Mouse being given the title of honorary member of the Jedi Council by Lucas in in StarWars.com's Star Wars Weekends coverage. The Darth Mater auction exhibit was signed by George Lucas himself. Gethralkin 16:10, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That's a tough call. It was for charity, so just because the item was signed by Lucas would have added value and boosted up the selling price. Based on that alone, without Lucas having given any more credence to the "character", I'm not sure it does warrant an article... at least until another more official source mentions it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:27, 24 January 2009 (UTC)

Clone Wars Campaign Guide
Am I right in thinking if you have the Clone Wars Campaign GuidE? If so, would you be able to tell me what it says about Ronderu lij Kummar - she's probably just listed as an example name in the Kaleesh entry, though if there's stuff on Grievous she could be there too - and Nym? Cheers, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 15:25, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I'm sorry, I don't have it. I have it on order at the local library, so I should get the first copy they get in. The images I uploaded from TCWCG were from the artist website. And since the artist site didn't state what sourcebook they were in, I went to a local bookstore to flip through the book to verify they were in there. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:16, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * There is a full entry for Nym indeed, Ronderu lij Kummar is also mentioned as an example of a Kaleesh name. Not sure if she's mentioned anywhere else: it's going to be month until I start reading it - still busy with KOTOR CG for now. Mauser 18:07, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Rocket Droid image
Hi, once again you changed the Rocket droid image, without giving any attention to the discussion I started about why I had reverted it back to my original one. What gives? I know I'm new to this wiki editing thing, but I don't understand how authority works around here. Aren't the decisions supposed to be taken democratically, through discussion? Gry Sarth 16:36, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Didn't see the discussion on the talk page. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:37, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

"Please learn how to properly format an article"
You commented this in your edit of the Roggwart article. In the interest of complying, what did I do so wrong? Gry Sarth 18:18, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry if my edit summary seemed overly harsh.
 * 1) You made the image 350px wide. Except the most extreme and special cases, never should a thumbnail in an article be that wide. If an image is placed in an article and it is is to the left of the infobox, then it should be no more than 200px wide, 180px is preferred. In the open area of an article, after the infobox has ended, then up to 250px is acceptable.
 * 2) There have been other instances where you've put an image in an article in the Appearances section and aligned it to the left. That makes the articles look very sloppy and will end up being reverted, if not by me, then by someone else here. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 18:41, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I hope that clears it up. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 18:41, 26 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response. I had looked for editing guidelines, but all I found was that infobox images should be 250px wide, where can I find all these infos you just listed and more? I just find it strange that such a horizontal picture, as the roggwart one, should be displayed in such a small size that it makes it almost unreadable. Finally, are you saying I shouldn't align the pictures to the left? Doesn't this happen in many articles? Gry Sarth 19:01, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Here are the best resources for you to brush up on Manual of Style, Layout Guide, and Wookieepedia tutorials. As to the aligning left, that isn't what I'm saying at all. Venator-class Star Destroyer is a good article to use as example. You see how the infobox is very long. All the image that appear in the article to the left of the infobox are sized at 200px. Once the infobox stops stretching into the main body of the article, and the text spreads all the way across the page, then you start staggering the images left and right throughout the article. There should be no more than 1 image for every 2-4 paragraphs, depending on how long the paragraphs are. Also, it is generally agreed that images in the main body of the article should at the very most be 300px wide, though, 250px is generally agreed upon to be the widest. Once you get down to the Appearances and Sources sections, image should be aligned right. Except in a rare case, no list using bullets should be pushed to the right by an image aligned to the left. There is no policy officially, but many people frown on even having an image in the Appearances/Sources section of the article at all. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 19:38, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for all the info. Hopefully I won't bother you too much in the future. Gry Sarth 19:55, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries. Thank you for being willing to learn how things work around here. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 20:25, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

List of Star Wars DVD releases
Thanks for catching that TC result for me! Graestan ( Talk ) 17:18, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 17:22, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Defoliator pic
Hey, where did you get that defoliator explosion image? I can't find that particluar frame in the episode. Gry Sarth 14:08, 28 January 2009 (UTC) Actually it has been for a couple days now. ;) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:00, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * It was in the episode guide screenshots on the official SW site. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:09, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, then, shouldn't you have uploaded it as a new image? Cause the source information is false, your image does not in fact appear in the TV episode, only on the Official Website. Gry Sarth 14:12, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Not at all. It is a screenshot from the episode. The frame capture happens to be found on the official site. Therefore the source information is just as it should be. And as for uploading it as a new image, yes, I could have. But if I had, there is no room for the other version, so it would have been deleted as an unused image anyway. Therefore, it made more sense just to overwrite it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:16, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * But if you look at that scene frame by frame you will se that this particular screenshot does not actually exist in the episode as broadcasted. It might be part of an alternate or extended shot that wasn't used. So how can the source be listed as the broadcasted episode if that frame doesn't actually exist in it? To a different degree, that's akin to sourcing a shot of Padmé's family home to Ep2. Gry Sarth 15:14, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I just re-watched the episode. That frame is present there. Mauser 15:56, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Mauser. I thought it was from watching it yesterday, but I was gonna have to wait to rewatch it again when I get home. Hence, why I left the episode source and just added the SW.com source to the image ;) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:03, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I must disagree with Mauser, try as I might I can't see that same frame in the episode. The droids never reach the pose portrayed in this picture. Gry Sarth 16:09, 28 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I also just rewatched the episode. The shot is indeed there. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 04:27, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That's very weird. Are they broadcasting different versions? Maybe the HD is different from the normal edit? Go figure... Gry Sarth 11:55, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I doubt they are. I'm sorry to say, I think you're just missing it. It happens very fast. If it might help you find it, try slowing your player down to half speed right at the point the weapon explodes on the ground. Your version of the image, the one I overwrote, takes place right before the current shot happens. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:04, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh no, I think you are misunderstanding me. I'm not talking about the shot, I'm talking about the specific frame. I can see the same shot, the sideview of the droids being blasted, what happens is that the specific frame you uploaded doesn't actually exist in the episode. If you go through that shot frame by frame, you'll never see the droids reach that pose. Gry Sarth 20:26, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Even if the don't, does it matter? The Episode Guide for Downfall of a Droid features 3 images from a deleted scene, does this mean we can't use them? Mauser 20:29, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I was intrigued, and I've checked. This particular frame is not in the episode (at least in the version I have), see the comparison below I've done here. So what now? I'm not saying that we shouldn't use it, but maybe we could consider it just as a promo pic for this episode, or add a mention just after the source, saying that this frame has been cut from the final version of the scene, I don't know. Kaal 21:42, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm CERTAINLY NOT saying we shouldn't use it! I just said that the Source listed should be the Official Site instead of the episode itself. Gry Sarth 22:25, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The source listed IS the official site. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 22:31, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know. Now it is. Good job. Gry Sarth 09:46, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Brian Campbell
Please, could you improve the photo of the artcle Brian Campbell?

Thanks - --Arth sidious 13:02, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Clone Snowtrooper
Hey, hate to be always questioning, but what was with the full undo of the Clone cold assault trooper? What do you mean by "No room"? I would just appreciate it if you could add something on the article's discussion when you go about your decisions like that. As it is, I feel like any effort I make to contribute to this wiki is simply ignored and paved over with no explanation. Gry Sarth 13:42, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I was just in the middle of re-including your text update. But there was no room for the image. There is not enough text in the article to support 3 images. Since the second image was already in the Motmot article, I figured a new image could go in article. I opted for one I placed in there because it's a 3D animation image over an drawn illustration. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:48, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * And it's not personal. It's really just a matter of the manual of style and layout guidelines for Wookieepedia. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:54, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You think the Clone snowtrooper article does not need a single Phase II armor picture? The picture you added is very cool, but it adds nothing new to the article. The helmets on spikes picture was cool too, but at least it depicted an event and hinted at the cloth nature of the helmet. Gry Sarth 13:58, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I concede on the layout department. But when you go about changing content, I would appreciate if you could put your decisions up for debate in the Discussion page. For example, why do you think the History section needed to be obliterated? Gry Sarth 14:00, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Obliterated? Sorry, not following here. The History section is exactly the way you last edited it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:09, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I had added a paragraph describing the events of Cold Snap and the setup for Trespass. Gry Sarth 14:12, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * My apologies. I thought I had re-added all your textual edits. All should be back now to your last edit, text wise. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:17, 30 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. And btw, check out the Phase I armor discussion. Gry Sarth 14:19, 30 January 2009 (UTC)

Darth Reave
Hey, JMAS,

It has come to my attention via an FAN objection that all of the images in the Darth Reave article are of poor quality. If you have those comics, can you bless me with nice, vivid, rescans please? I would greatly appreciate it if you could. Let me know either way please, and thanks. —Tommy  ( Nine two eight one ) 19:13, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, I don't own any of the Legacy comics. You might want to ask Redemption or maybe Tommy9281. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 21:08, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey no sweat, homie. You've always been great help to me anyway. Thanks again. —Tommy [[Image:Dark Side Master TotG.jpg|17px]] ( Nine two eight one ) 21:15, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh wow, I feel stupid now. I just now realize it was you that asked. I read your question, but looked at who posted last in the section above yours and thought Gry Sarth was asking, hence why I suggested asking you. LOL -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 01:12, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Lol, I noticed that when I saved my reply. I knew what you meant, so it's all good. Funny though ;) —Tommy [[Image:Dark Side Master TotG.jpg|17px]] ( Nine two eight one ) 01:25, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Kits Delta-7B proff!
I've got proff that the picture i posted a while ago is Kits fighter! look at this! --Butters4115 05:38, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

That is somewhat compelling evidence. But, it could be a fleet insignia, much like the Open Circle Fleet that Skywalker and Kenobi commanded. The fact is, we just don't know for certain until an official source shows that picture and explicitly states that it is Kit Fisto's Delta-7B. And until we know with 100% certainty, it is still speculation. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 12:49, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Wow thats a fleet design! I always thought it was the "Army of the Republic" logo. That explains so much.--Butters4115 14:18, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Chopper image
Hey, what do you mean by "removed unsourced image" from the Chopper article? I did source the image to the OS Episode Guide. Gry Sarth 09:24, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Humm, weird, just checked the image again and it shows as unsourced, yet if you look at the "Comment" section you can see the source I entered. What's going on here? Gry Sarth 09:29, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I looked at every image in both slide shows on the episode guide for that episode and the image is nowhere to be found, hence why I removed the source from the image and removed it from the article. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 17:23, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, have you looked in the Commentary Video in the Episode Guide page? When in doubt about something, don't be shy to ask. Gry Sarth 19:21, 9 February 2009 (UTC)

Complete Star Wars Encyclopedia images
Hello, JMAS. Could you please upload these following images from the Encyclopedia, and post them on my talk page?


 * On the "Darth" image gallery in the "D" section, the image of Darth Traya
 * On the "Famous Lightsaber" in the "L" section gallery, the images of Darth Nihilus', Darth Revan's, Bastila Shan's, and Darth Malak's lightsabers

If you can do this, I'd appreciate it.--Jedi Kasra (talk) 16:19, 9 February 2009 (UTC)
