29 ABY
I think it's always been our policy to just follow the official dates, just that when the wiki was new everyone put down 30 ABY as a mistake and there's been no wide-scale push to correct it in every article. Kuralyov 18:56, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
 * If you want to start doing a wide-scale change, that would be helpful. No one can really argue since it's been established pretty thoroughly by now that that's the date. Kuralyov 03:58, 18 December 2007 (UTC)
 * One idea would be to go to the 30 ABY page and see what links there. Chances are just about everything should be going to 29 ABY instead. Kuralyov 20:20, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

hi i'm DarTah Ravin' I'm have about the same backround as you. I live in [a suburb of] DC. You should see my user page. I want to start a project so tell me if you will help.

Mugshots
Generally speaking, one shouldn't create a new image simply to resize an old one. It's possible to resize them with a simple modification to the code you're writing; for example, creates a very small version of your Jariah Syn mugshot:. I've deleted and replaced a number of your mugshots in the Star Wars Legacy article by using this code with the pre-existing images, setting the size to 125px. That said, also look at the file information I've added to the mugshots that weren't deleted; they should give a good idea of how best to add information for any cropped images you may need to upload in the future. Thanks, and my apologies for editing an article currently under your Inuse template. jSarek 12:19, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Dark Times
Hi, Menkooroo. Are you planning on continuing working on Star Wars: Dark Times? If not, can you please remove the Inuse template from it as soon as you get this message? From checking the article's history, it has been the better part of a month and a half since the last time you edited this article, and I feel that that is long enough. If you are planning on continuing your work on it, then might I suggest that you edit it regularly while you have the "inuse" template up. If not, then myself or another administrator will remove the template at an appropriate time, thus freeing up the article for other users to edit it and/or work on. Thanks for your understanding in this, Greyman ( Talk ) 13:29, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your words regarding myself, and thanks for your cooperation with the Dark Times article. Hopefully one day you can turn it into an FA ;) Cheers, Greyman ( Talk ) 11:19, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Dark Times mugshots

 * Yes, image deletion is strictly for admins, and yes, I've nailed the ones you've listed for me. You're welcome. :-) jSarek 13:46, 8 August 2008 (UTC)

Legacy mugshot

 * That image is still in use in the article. jSarek 05:57, 4 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Image blasted. jSarek 17:02, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Imperial Knights
Since the nom is going to vanish from the FAN page, I'll answer here. I haven't read it fully, so there's probably more to say, but here's my impressions from skimming.

Generally, you might want to check out the other Featured articles on organizations—particularly Force-using ones like Matukai or Dark Side Elite—to get an idea of how they did it and what sort of sections and focus you should have. There's no hard and fast rules for organization articles, but it might help to see what others did. Stylewise, we generally prefer to refer to characters by their last names for formality, except where there's more than one character with the same one (like the Fels); even there, I'd probably use "Marasiah" over "Sia", again for formality.

On specific sections:

Notable members is one of the best-focused sections; all of the characters' descriptions seem to be relevant to their service as IKs. I've only seen sections like this in squadron articles, but it's not wrong; my only suggestion for now would be to have it after history. As a Fel and a high-ranking member, Mohrgan would warrant inclusion as well.

A lot of those conversations you recount in history should be mined for Organization and philosophy'. You might have already, as I see the killing of those who betray the IKs is in there; in general, go through for things like that that give insight into how they think and work. You also still have unsourced statements here and speculation like some of the things on gray Jedi. There's a mention here of Jedi joining the IKs that should be included in history as well (it can go in both, just reword it a bit as appropriate).

Armor and equipment lacks some sourcing too. You mention Azyln's non-standard outfit; Sinde and Dare could be mentioned regarding that as well. Powers and abilities looks good. I don't know if there's any information that could be added to these, so I guess my only advice is make sure it's all there. In the first paragraph, P&A could maybe repeat, with some rewording, that bit about not using the dark but not strictly following the light. The one-sentence paragraph should probably be merged, unless you can think of more stuff like that to add to it.

Behind the scenes needs more organization; it's something of a haphazard list of trivia at the moment. My suggestion would be to start with the creation, talk about the creators' ideas about them, move onto publishing history, and then fan reaction. The bit about the Imperial Jedi in the early drafts, for example, could be moved very near the beginning. I'd also suggest using Google to search The Jedi Council Forums and The Dark Horse Boards to find anything Jan or John said about them that would be useful. Googling "Imperial Knights" Jan_Duursema site:boards.theforce.net would get you Jan on the JCF, for example; I forget John's user name there and both of theirs at Dark Horse, but it should be easy to find with some poking around.

Hope that's helpful for now, and good luck. - Lord Hydronium 04:01, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh, I had no idea when I wrote this that you're Jeff Ferguson. A belated hi, Jeff. - Lord Hydronium 23:41, 24 March 2009 (UTC)

WP:LE
Hey, Menkooroo, I noticed on the WP:FAN page that you regularly update Legacy articles and write some, so would you like to join WookieeProject Legacy Era? It is a project started by me and a few other users to improve LOTF and Legacy articles, and eventually bring them to either Good and/or Featured status. Interested? DC 00:32, 3 December 2008 (UTC)

WookieeProject Legacy Era
Hey, Menkooroo :-). I have recently taken over as Project Lead for WookieeProject Legacy Era and am trying to get a feel for who would like to continue participating in the project. If you would like to continue contributing to the Project, please leave me a message on my talk page within the week. Otherwise, I will assume that you have prior commitments that will keep you from being able to participate. Thank you :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 12:09, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that's fine :-). I just re-evaluated the members when I took over and looked at who had been missing for over a month, so please do add your name again :D.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 00:38, 8 April 2009 (UTC)

Quoreal
Hi. I addressed your objection on Quoreal. Can you check it out please? -- —Harrar  ( Cut the comm chatter ) 12:14, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

Lumiya
Hi dude,

That sounds pretty convincing that it's Lumiya and is probably worthy of a BtS note if nothing else, but I'm not in charge of the Marvel section for Lumiya as I don't own any of the comics; I'm in fact waiting to return to my collection and write much of the LOTF material. You want to talk to Tommy about it in fact! Cheers -- —Harrar  ( Cut the comm chatter ) 12:51, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Droma
Hey Menkooroo. "Legacy" sections are typically reserved for those who have died or have made some sort of impact in later history. I don't think two sentences really warrant a different section, I think it would be best to put those sentences at the end of the previous section or leave them out entirely. That's my two cents. Xicer9 ( Combadge) 05:00, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * It looks better now, as does everything else. Good work. Xicer9 [[Image:atgar.svg|20px]]( Combadge) 05:29, December 9, 2009 (UTC)

NJO
When you crop a headshot from a larger image and the full image is in JPG format, then the cropped image should also be in JPG format, not PNG. That said, I've marked File:Chokaheadshot.PNG for deletion and uploaded File:Chokaheadshot.jpg which I cropped from the source file for you. You'll want to replace the PNG version with the JPG version on your workbench page. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 13:02, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Seems like an odd policy, but cool, thanks for the assistance. Menkooroo 13:11, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not a policy. It's common sense. It serves no purpose to take a JPG image, crop it down and then save it in another format. If an image is in one format, it should stay in the format, unless you rescan the image completely. I'm not trying to come down on you. Just sharing things I've learned having people come down hard on me about it in the past. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 13:18, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, would you like me to reupload all the other headshots you recently uploaded in JPG format as well? And on second look, I see that it is actually a policy here. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 13:23, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the policy link. The only reason I saved them as PNG's is because MSPaint is the only image editing program I have, and saving MSPaint files as Jpeg's usually visibly reduces the quality. If you wouldn't mind reuploading them, I'd be very grateful, but don't feel like you have to --- I can do it, as long as you don't mind lower-quality images. Menkooroo 14:13, December 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm out of town right now, but I'd be happy to take care of that when I'm back home. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 05:47, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for all of your help. Merry Christmas! Menkooroo 05:54, December 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've got something for ya. JPEGcrop It's a free program that losslessly crops JPEG images. You can use that in place of MS Paint for cropping images. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 21:30, January 1, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Cade Skywalkah
Cool! I was actually going to ask you if you wanted to help me with Cade's article. I gotta do some expanding for the last few comics, plus expand his P&T and P&A. Please let me know if you would like to help me with this.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 17:26, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sweet, I actually have the sub-page here, if you wanted to work on that. No problem, and if there's anything you need help with, let me know.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 19:19, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Man, that's some good work, thanks. I'l re-read Trust Issues and see. By the way, Tommy's supposed to take care of the intro. He's currently busy on other projects, but he'll get it done. When we're finished with the article, would you like to co-nominate Cade with me?--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 18:17, December 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * That looks great. Yeah, I'll see if I can find quotes for Cade's lovely ladies, ans stick them under the sub-sections. Please let me know what you think. Yeah, we are both over the 3-nom limit, aren't we? Tommy is also supposed to co-nom this with me, I think with all of use doing covering Cade we can ensure that his article is top-notch, especially since new info comes out on him for basically every issue.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 15:31, December 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * I re-read Trust Issues like you asked, and Cade doesn't appear in anything other than holograms.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 13:30, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem, I gotta get to working on his latest info in the bio. That dude was being beat up by Morrigan Corde, he does look like Cade, though.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 13:18, January 8, 2010 (UTC)
