User subpages
Nebulax, i was wondering how to go about making user subpages, such as the ones you have for your Star Wars alter ego's personal starship and such. Thanks for the help.--Commander Jake 08:22, 1 June 2006 (UTC) Ah, thanks very much.--Commander Jake 12:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC) Shoot...I just realized I didn't know how to link to one. Can you help, please?--Commander Jake 20:04, 1 June 2006 (UTC) Yeah, I just realized how a few minutes after posting that. Thanks anyway, though.--Commander Jake 20:30, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, first you take your user name (User:Commander Jake) and put a slash after it. Then, write what you want the subpage's title to be (for instance, if you wanted a subpage titled "Space", it would look like User:Commander Jake/Space). Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:11, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:13, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * What do you mean? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * You mean this: User:Commander Jake/99th Armored Division? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:06, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:55, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Darth Vader/Anakin Skywalker troubles
I'd just like to say thanks for all the help you've provided over the past few days with the "merge" discussions. Good luck with your future edits. Jasca Ducato 20:36, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
 * No, thank you for all that you've done. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

3 Revert Rule
I've noticed you've recently entered into a miniature edit war on the Stormtrooper page and so I thought I'd remind you of our 3 revert rule. As it is enforced so little, I have chosen not to enforce the 24 hour ban at this time (though I should have really a few edits back), but either yourself or other members of the edit war continue to revert I'm afraid I will have to do so. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 01:02, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I thought our usual procedure was to lock the article, not block the users involved. Should we be locking the article? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 01:04, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The 3RR page says we're meant to implement a 24 hour ban on any users who break the 3RR. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 01:06, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It also says "the fact that users may be blocked for excessive reverting does not imply that they will be blocked." If we can resolve the dispute by sending everyone to the talk page, it seems like a better idea to me (unless one party in the dispute is adding fanon or whatnot.) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 01:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Exactly. Plus, if that would be the case, many people would have received 24 hour bans already for numerous other edit wars. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:56, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

Hi, we haven't met
My names Brisky and I was just wondering, if they had a spoiler warning template, surely they wouldn't have the biggest spoiler in the entire SW universe in big writing on it would they? However, they have and personally I think it's absolutly crazy, can you do anything about it?

Reply via my user talk page pls.

Brisky 20:01, 6 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Granted what you said about the length of time ESB has been out, but there ar still people who don't know........Don't ask me why they'd be on the wiki though....

Brisky 14:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but that's their problem, not ours. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:05, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Couldn't Vader's line: 'Obi-wan never told you . . .'etc. work just as well? It provides a warning to both those in the know & those who aren't without ruining the surprise factor. Tocneppil 17:51, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Still, everyone knows that Vader is Luke's father. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I was only thinking about the kids who are first-time fans coming to the site, but now I'm reminded of J.W. Rinzler's article in SW Insider 86 about people watching the films in chronological order.Tocneppil 17:54, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
 * People do tend to watch the movies first. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:51, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * You're absolutly right lol, by the way, remember what I added to Grievous?. I know I worded it terribly but the fact that he did get off the ramp early should be noted Brisky 16:09, 12 June 2006 (UTC)
 * No, because it doesn't mean he was impatient. It means absolutely nothing. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:04, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Imperial Knight
I do not wish to argure with you but why do you keep deleting the weapons and source sectin on Imperial Knight Jacen Solo Jedi Master
 * That source is already listed as an appearance. And there was no need for a weapons section. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:09, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That is all I wanted to know. thank you for the fast reply and hopfully we all can get this Legacy stuff straiten out right.Jacen Solo Jedi Master
 * Sorry for not including that in my edit summary. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:13, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

A question
I'm new, and I was wondering how you get the "This user thinks Stormtroopers are awsome" and "This user supports the republic" things up. I would actually like Clonetroopers. --1upD 20:47, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the stormtroopers one is custom, but the rest are userbox templates. There's a whole listing of already made ones at Category:Userbox templates. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:04, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

130/140 ABY
Are you sure the year is 130, and not 140, because someone put all the events for it on the 140 page. - Bub
 * Before Legacy 0 came out, it was set around 140 ABY, but the comic states it's c. 130 ABY. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 16:49, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Re: interlanguage links
Inter-langauge links (such as Darth Vader ) show up in a box on the left toolbar, below the Wikia messages box. They don't show up at the end of the article, which is where you were probably looking. RMF 17:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out to me. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:08, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Era template
The era template was actually decided to be used for all finite subjects, which more or less only precludes it from being used on planet, species, and creature articles. And even some of those (eg. a bioengineered race, or a race who became extinct) can have them. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 12:58, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * It just seems very strange, though. I understand species and characters, but why everything else? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:00, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Basically, because they're as much a finite subject as anything else. Sure, most mechnical objects can last longer than most characters can, but they also don't exist before they're manufactured (obviously) and eventually get faded out. The era template simply shows when they were around that we know of. You can, of course, feel free to start up a Consensus Track to re-vote on their usage if you feel very strongly about it. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 13:04, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll let it go. So, I take it most of the articles here without the eras template are going to be getting them soon? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:06, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well really they should have been using them already, but when people went on a splurge of adding the era template to articles they seemed to only really focus on characters, which led to the misbelief that they were only to be used on such page. Basically, as long as it's a finite subject, it needs the era template eventually. &mdash;Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 13:08, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, then, should we start the "Great Eras Template Revolution"? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:10, 10 June 2006 (UTC)

Legacy era Stormtroopers
A while back you made a comment about stormtroopers on this page. I just wrote a small answer there with a pic from Legacy 0 if you're interested. --Eyrezer 01:25, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:18, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

The ship that gives doom
I think having too many images for the Doomgiver article is not a good idea, the article is not so long. What do you think of a Gallery of Doomgiver images? The only way I can think of expanding the article is to add every detail of Kyle's onboard mission, but I think if any, it should have a separate article, given that we already have a Mission to Nar Shaddaa - TopAce 11:27, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That gallery would work. I think only the original two images on the article should be kept, and those, along with the rest, moved to the proposed gallery. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:28, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Numbers

 * Before I edit the numbers section again to include "LAAT" can you give me the reason as to why it was removed? --Razzy1319 03:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I extremely doubt that the LAAT would be referred to as an assault ship. It's either referred to as a LAAT or a Republic gunship, not assault ship. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 11:31, 15 Jun 2006 (UTC)
 * But I later state why it can be construed as such. --Razzy1319 16:59, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yet it doesn't make sense to call the LAAT an assault ship. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:10, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * And too call a Star Dreadnaught a Super Star Destroyer? --Razzy1319 19:14, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That makes sense, because Star Dreadnoughts were the largest Super Star Destroyers. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:15, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Not if all in-universe statements call them Super Star Destroyers. --Razzy1319 19:51, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yet they are called Star Dreadnoughts in sources, and they are the largest Super Star Destroyers. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:53, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes but "all" in-universe sources call them Super Star Destroyers, not Star Dreadnaughts. Therefore an "assualt ship" can be privy to numerous interpretations -Razzy1319 19:56, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but LAATs and HAETs aren't called assault ships in-universe. While there are most likely other assault ships, the LAATs and HAETs aren't considered as other assault ships. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:58, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * But the fact that they have "assault" in their designation and given that they are seen assualting the planets is enough for someone with an ignorance of military designation to construe it as such. Just like he construes that Super Star Destroyers arent Star Dreadnaughts --Razzy1319 20:05, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * They're both clone carriers (like the CR-20s and CR-25s), not assault ships, regardless of the word "assault". Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:07, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Again, we are talking about an in-universe perspective, a perspective without proper knowledge of how to name ships. When he sees "assault" on its given name and he sees it assaulting a planet, he can name it an assualt ship. --Razzy1319 20:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * If I could interject here: the term "assault ship" is used to refer to Acclamator cruisers and similar, so, in this context, calling a LAAT or HAET an "assault ship" would equate it with the Acclamator. Yes, it is a ship that can lead assaults, but then so are any number of other vessels, if you're going to take the term that broadly. X-wings are used for assaults, but we don't call them X-wing assault ships - Kwenn 20:13, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, but the LAATs' and HAETs' main roles are troop deployment, then performing assaults for support. Technically, they're not really assault ships the way we think of Acclamators or other warships or battlecruisers. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:16, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * What I'm trying to say is that we shouldn't have it in the context it was in. I'm writing up something now. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:20, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That's better, thanks. --Razzy1319 20:24, 15 June 2006 (UTC)
 * That's what happens when I get sick of debating. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 20:26, 15 June 2006 (UTC)

Infobox placement
If you're going to move the infobox down on the Battle of the Emperor's Citadel article (even though it has affected the second pic in the article) at least go through and do it for the whole campaign. --Eyrezer 12:34, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Aren't those infoboxes supposed to be under the main infobox anyway? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:35, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * There is no policy for putting them above or below. The discussion is here if you want to weigh in on it. Now that the colors can be customised, there is a stronger argument for putting them above as a unifying factor. Either way, it needs to be consistant across a campaign. --Eyrezer 12:48, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * The problem with putting them below is that it causes some of the pics to go wonky and overlap the words, as can be seen on this one you just changed. --Eyrezer 12:49, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I put them at the bottom only because I've seen them always at the bottom. And for me, however, the pictures look fine. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:51, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I looked at the image you just uploaded&mdash;I see what you mean. To tell you the truth, I really don't care where those infoboxes go. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:01, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * What browser do you use? I use Firefox. I'm curious because I remeber other differences in how articles were presented, ie with lists, etc. --Eyrezer 13:04, 18 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Internet Explorer. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:27, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

Star wars legacy 1
What happens? --SGCommand 17:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, the Jedi Academy on Ossus is attacked and lost, Kol Skywalker dies, Cade starts to give into the dark side and "apparently" dies (he survives, of course), Darth Krayt takes over as Emperor of the Empire and kills Roan Fel's double, and we discover that Darth Krayt is becoming weaker. That's basically it. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:30, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Any hints on the names of the Empire and /or The Sith Organization--SGCommand 18:06, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Nope, although my guesses are the New Galactic Empire (which I had used for my own little "trilogy" I tried to make) and the New Sith Order. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:56, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your correction. I'll be picking my copy soon enough! Hollis 19:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. You know, I actually like the series now. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
