5.2 Factual correction
Hey, just wanted to let you know. That was not Doug Wangler in Star Wars - Episode I. It was an unknown extra who has not yet been located. However, Doug's likeness has been used for Vos by Jan Duursema since 2004. With some luck, Doug will have the full story up about meeting Jan for the first time and becoming the model for Vos on his website soon :)!

RE:Search icons
Sorry, I won't redo them. I like the "arty" effect it gives. I think that the "plain old" style seach icons can be boring. I'm not saying that the ARE boring of course. I just like the mixed effects that various styles of search icons have. KEJ 12:37, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Uh-oh.... ;-) KEJ 12:50, 12 April 2007 (UTC)

Image Thanks
Thanks a ton for uploading that image for me.

Topic moved from Senate Hall
Im so sorry i didnt mean to do that i was just experimenting and thought that it didnt affect you because i was trying to practice with just the knowlage that i have of wookiepedia once again sorry. P.S. please dont ban me:( -*Xerxes* 16:27, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I've moved this comment from the Senate Hall to here where it belongs. -- Ozzel 17:16, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries. In the future, you'll want to use the Jundland Wastes for testing purposes, not articles or individual user pages. - JMAS 17:21, 20 April 2007 (UTC)

Redirect
Thanks.--Windu223 13:27, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Hello, this is Darthtyler, the creator of some of the newest search icon propsals. Thanks for the comment. Also, please come check out some of my new icons and comment on them. Thanks!&mdash;Darthtyler

K'Kruhk Image

 * Please don't change the main image. The other is a) Not a portrait and b) Stretches the infobox needlessly. QuentinGeorge 21:05, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * 1) There isn't any guideline that says the infobox has to be a portrait. 2) The image in there now is a crappy image. I'll find or crop another image from the Republic comics that is a portrait, and won't stretch the infobox, if you're going to insist on that, but I'm not going to leave the main image as a CW cartoon unless there are no other images available (Like in the case of Foul Moudama and Voolvif Monn). - JMAS 22:10, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * There's been a general consensus that we're moving that way. Have a look at most of character articles. I don't object to a comic image, but now there's a repeated image there (the same picture of K'Kruhk is at the Siege of Saleucami section). QuentinGeorge 22:23, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It is a duplicate, but let's leave it as is for right now. I've got all the TPB's of the Republic comics sitting right here next to me. I'll see if I can either find a different one of him from the Siege of Saleucami to replace the one in that section (leaving the current one in the infobox) or I'll scan another good portrait style shot from somewhere else in one of the comics. How's that sound? - JMAS 22:27, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

my bad
hey my bad didn't know that sorry. Stryker 16:00, 12 May 2007 (UTC)

Help JMAS. Please...TheMasterDestroyer 9:43, 17 May 2007

Holocron
I am curious about why you reverted my edit to holocron. All I did was mentioned the existence of Data holocrons, which are holocrons that don't require force sensitivity to use. It makes sense that the main Holocron article would at least mention the existence of data holocrons, since they are a type of holocron. And yet you removed it for some reason, so why did you remove it? As a type of holocron, it certainly deserves mention in the article.151.203.186.52 04:49, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Cite a source for it and you can put it back. - JMAS 04:59, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Did you read the Data holocron article? it gives a source. quote from that article: A data holocron was a type of holocron that could be accessed by non-Force sensitives. The data holocron article lists The New Essential Chronology as it's source. I'm adding back mention of data holocrons to the holocron article.  151.203.186.52 05:35, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * OK then. - JMAS 05:37, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

Free Falling
You can't free fall in space. What you said on the LAAT/i talk page was just.... (reverential sigh) Dude, never were truer words spoken. The thought didn't even occur to me. But no gravity=no falling. --LtCol. JuiceStain 23:27, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Screencap Software?
I saw you screencapped the infobox pic for Jek Porkins and was wondering what player you used to get the image so crisp at 1200px x 800px. I've been trying to capture new images for some of the other pilots like Naytaan and even at source resolution, the colors still bleed a bit and look slightly pixelated. I'm using PowerDVD and Photoshop CS2. Thanks. - Brynn Alastayr 22:42, 2 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I don't have them in HD myself. I got all those screencaps from an aquaintance of mine. Not sure what he used though. Sorry. - JMAS 23:57, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Grapple droid image.
Please reload it under a different image name. Thank you. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 22:52, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I notice you re-reverted back to the version I uploaded. Still want me to upload mine with a different file name? Or did you chance you mind? - JMAS 22:55, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, please re-upload it. It's a good image; I just think the current main image is the best for the article. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 22:57, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

Tagging
What exactly is tagging an image? Can I help?--'Darthtyler (talk) (HSM RKY) 03:48, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Tagging an image is another way to link a picture to an article. And it also then creates a gallery of all the images with that tag on it. For example, take Image:Vader-SWEMP19.jpg. If you pull of that image page, you see "In this image: a link to the Darth Vader article (which will take to to of course, Anakin Skywalker). Then next to that is a link labeled "image" and if you click that link, it will take you to the gallery will every image on Wookieepedia that is tagged "Darth Vader". - JMAS 03:54, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. I'll get to work helping.--'Darthtyler (talk) (HSM RKY) 03:58, 25 June 2007 (UTC)


 * I don't know if you're a Rogue Squadron expert, but some times ago, I've uploaded a great picture (the Rogue Squadron Handbook cover ), in which we see a lot of members. It would be really nice to tag every character depicted in it, but I don't know enough the physical look of those characters to do it myself. Can you do it? Or do you know a member who can handle it? Thanks ;) Kaal 14:21, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi... got your note on my talk page about the image tagging. I'm getting a doc together to revamp that feature and I'll add your suggestion. Any others that would make this feature more useful for you guys? Thanks, Johnq (talk) 07:44, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Casualty Report

 * Once again I have deleted these, since they are complete article scans rather than images of characters. Please don't reupload them again. QuentinGeorge 10:05, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I disagree with the reasoning, but I'll respect it and not upload them again. - JMAS 16:55, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Re:

 * For some reason, I had to completely unprotect it to enable tagging- something we should probably talk to Wikia about eventually. You're welcome. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 21:30, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
 * My scope's not showing anything. It should be fully unprotected- the upload page worked just fine for me. Try it again, and if that doesn't work, let me know. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:24, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * My fault. One of my talk page archives included it and I had cascading protection turned on for a reason I no longer recall. Should be unlocked now. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 17:32, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
 * There we go. Thanks DC, and Atarumaster. - JMAS 17:34, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Factual errors
I also apologize for any sort of factual errors i put up including saying that escape from dagu isn't canon The story was apparently completed when it was decided to scrap it in favor of Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, due to greater public appeal to Yoda. However, Darc, Dagu, and Shaak Ti's mission were referenced in Republic HoloNet News Core Edition 14:3:22 and The Official Star Wars Fact File 116, making-the general storyline of Escape from Dagu is still canon.
 * And you'll notice after you put it back after my removing it, I saw that and did not remove it again. Also, if you are unsure how to properly use someone's talk page, then don't do it at all rather than putting it dead center in the middle of my user page. Thank you. - JMAS 19:06, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Gossam
The Gossam/Givin pic was uploaded because the Gossam on its own is poorly proportioned - too long and thin. Having another alien also helps to provide scale. Comments? --Eyrezer 04:53, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I can see your point, but to me, that seems unnecessary. The average height of a Gossam is in the article infobox so it just seems a waste of server space to upload an image that basically duplicates two separate images. - JMAS 04:56, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Seeing as you've cut out the background, do you think you could make it more squareish? A little slice more white on either side? --Eyrezer 05:10, 17 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. --Eyrezer 23:11, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

50,000th Article
What did you do with my template? Darth Whatever

Name
Is JMAS supposed to be SAMJ Backwards? Boba the Fett
 * No, it's the anagram of my Star Wars persona. - JMAS 18:23, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

HiRes covers?
Hey man, I've seen your recent HiRes cover uploads and been wondering where you got 'em from. Particularly the LotF and RC ones are in a stunningly high resolution, and being sorta a HD fanatic, I always wanna get a hold of hi def stuff. Thanks. ~ Tracyn (Talk)  12:19, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Fantastic aren't they? I got them here. They are in very large file sized TIF format, none under 1Mb and most averaging around 7-8Mb each, which I then coverted to JPG format using Photoshop. - JMAS 22:54, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Awesome. Thanks a lot! :D ~ Tracyn (Talk) [[Image:Mandoinsignia.png|15px]] 08:46, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot for the link! Great hi-res covers! ;) -- Kaal 18:39, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

McQuarrie
Hey JMAS-- I'm going to start work on the articles relating to the second draft to Episode IV. Much of McQuarrie's conceptual art for A New Hope derived from that draft. If you want to lend a hand as opportunities arise and add McQuarrie art to the conceptual articles (none yet...) I'd appreciate it. I'm without a scanner at the moment, and you seem to have an interest on the subject. Thanx--Jeffbacca 01:02, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll keep my eyes open. - JMAS 02:36, 1 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help. I made a minor correction (Deacon on Tatooine actually is derived from Deak Starkiller, not the novel character)... great!--Jeffbacca 00:39, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Thank You
Thank you for the welcome. I will contribute to Wookieepedia. :) A Raider Like Indiana  00:21, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:
Hey JMAS, thanks for bringing that to my attention. The consensus on IRC was that they were fanon, and if they were not provided with sources, then they were to be deleted. However, if you have a source for them, then just leave me another msg about it and I'd be happy to undelete them for you :) Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 18:10, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't have a source that I'm aware of but I'll peruse what I do have. Having worked on those two particular articles, I remembered them using that term so I thought I'd bring it to your attention. :) - JMAS 18:40, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks JMAS, let me know what you find. Greyman ( Paratus ) 18:43, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

Image from Chronicles: The Prequels
I noticed you've uploaded many pictures from this book, so I assume you've got a copy. I would very much like the picture showing the Imperial-class, Venator-class and Acclamator-class in comparison. I intend to use it on one or more Star Destroyer related articles. :) VT-16 18:12, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It's in storage at the moment. Give me a bit to dig it out and scan it. - JMAS 18:37, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * That would be super! You wouldn't have the time to do the CIS ships on the opposing page as well, would you? :3 VT-16 21:16, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

BTL-S3 Y-wing image
I'm looking for an image for this fighter. The Y-wing on BFII is a two man craft, but i don't know if there are sources to support it being an S3 model. The page references SW:ICS, is there a photo in that book, my copy is not with me. Can you give me a hand?
 * I certain would if I could, but I don't own any of the ICS books. Sorry. - JMAS 21:20, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I have the books and will look, but the only thing I can remember is the same model used in the films. The difference is strictly internal. VT-16 06:50, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * What do you think about the two man Y-wing from Battlefront II?
 * First, you always want to sign your comments with 4 tildes ~ . Second, unless BFII explicitly states that the Y-wing you are referring to is the BTL-S3, then someone else will almost certainly challenge it and remove the image. I do understand your wanting to have a picture for that particular Y-wing model, but sometimes there just isn't one to be found. - JMAS 15:28, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If the characters can actually be seen inside it in the game, that would be it. Do you have a picture? VT-16 16:04, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sadly, no, I don't. I don't own BFII, just the original BF. And every screenshot I've ever seen from BF or BFII of a starfighter (A, B, X, Y), the cockpit windows are always tinted, so you can never see any individuals in it. - JMAS 17:01, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It appears that Jack Nebulax added a graphic to the page. It's from SWG, I'm curious how he knew it's the S3 model.--MIS Tau 1 12:23, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, he removed the image, because it wasn't of the S-3, it was just a regular BTL Y-wing from SWG. - JMAS 18:05, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually I beleive I wrongly accused Nebulax from posting the image, I misread the history text. However yet another photo has been added, You should take a look at it. I posted another message on the page asking for proof for the photo.--MIS Tau 1 18:45, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Already took care of it. ;) - JMAS 18:52, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Roger that, Ya'll have me watching pages these pages like a hawk now. In a side note, how can I source a graphic?--MIS Tau 1 19:40, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Go look here. Right above the part where you actually upload the file. Read that and use that information template on an image. - JMAS 20:41, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Imperial submarine
Hmm sorry about that trouble with the Imperial submarine. I was just a little confused as to why not only the second image was removed, but why you put the earlier concept art with less detail as the official, canonical image instead of in the Behind The Scenes section. Anyway if you think the image is redundant, remove the entire Behind The Scenes section. Tony Knightcrawer 09:13, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * The entire BtS section doesn't need to go. But the two images are virtually idetical, so having them both in the article is redundant. I chose the one that you said is earlier art because it seemed to be clearer and less grainy looking. - JMAS 16:10, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

Excuse Me
I was just on the gallery of images you've contributed and I spotted this one. I contributed this one, not you. I am a little...perturbed that you listed it among your contributions when its my handiwork. Darth Vatrir
 * And have you looked at the image page recently? Not even a minute after you uploaded the image, I uploaded a high resolution version of the image to replace it. - JMAS 06:01, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

The Dented Helmet External Links
Hello. I noticed you removed my external links to The Dented Helmet from both the Jango Fett entry and Boba Fett entry. I didn't see a reason listed and would like to know why these links were removed as I feel these are very helpful links for people who would like to know more about the costumes used. - Art ((unsigned|Braks Buddy}}
 * As I understand Wookieepedia policy: unless it is a canon, Lucasfilm licensed, or site that is an official friend of Wookieepedia, then they are not to be put in IU articles. - JMAS 03:18, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

watchlist question
just a new user asking what is probobly a stupid question, but what do the little +XXX and -XXX's mean on my watchlist? Admiral Carth Onasi 20:12, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll be honest, I'm not sure. My guess is that you don't have any articles on your watchlist and so there are only X's listed until you have some. - JMAS 20:25, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I meant the x's to represnt the numbers actually appearing there, like "pay me X dollars" or something like that. the numbers are anywhere from -93 to +200. Admiral Carth Onasi 20:31, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Ohhhhh. That is the number of characters (letters, numbers, spaces, etc) added or subtracted during an edit. - JMAS 20:42, 20 August 2007 (UTC)

Skipray blastboat landing config.jpg
Just looking for a source on that image. Thanks, Thefourdotelipsis 12:06, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I honestly don't have any idea. As I recall, that image was already uploaded. Somebody else uploaded a different image over this one, so I reverted it. - JMAS 15:37, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

FWG-5 flechette pistol
This page is in need of a graphic. I don't have my manual with me, I figured this would be right up your alley.--MIS Tau 1 02:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * If there's an image of it in The New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology I could scan it, but at the moment I can't put my hands on my copy of the book. Sorry. - JMAS 02:56, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Popular problem it seems.--MIS Tau 1 03:48, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I've scanned every image from the NEGWT. This isn't one of them. - JMAS 12:01, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Strange, I believe that the FWG-5 is in the orginal EGWT.--MIS Tau 1 22:53, 25 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, well it might be in the original EGWT. I don't know as I don't have that. But it is not in the NEGWT. - JMAS 00:14, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
