Guri
Photo over artwork, absolutely. The CCG image isn't a live image, however. It's digital art and therefore shouldn't have higher priority over the digital art image from the SWG TCG, which is just as high quality, not to mention centered. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 22:04, November 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's the closest thing to a live image that we have. The TCG image is good, but the CCG one just seems more infoboxworthy. Green Tentacle (Talk) 22:12, November 2, 2009 (UTC)

Rendar
Just so you know: I posted all info from SWG TCG scenarios here, so you can use it while writing Rendar instead of just accepting my version.  Mauser  Comlink 22:35, December 7, 2009 (UTC)

Why?
Why did you delete my article(Bowcaster-Class Cruiser) so quickly? I did not have time to respond. Why can't I put on fanon? I put that it's fanon if you want. Just please put it back on.
 * Wookieepedia is for recording information from official sources. It is not for fanfiction. If you want to write fanon, try the Star Wars Fanon Wiki. Oh, and please sign your comments with ~ . Thanks. Green Tentacle (Talk) 14:47, December 12, 2009 (UTC)

Why does it say my vote is stricken on Sith Peanut Butter?
Why does it say my vote is stricken here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Wookieepedia:Trash_compactor/Sith_Peanut_Butter#Keep I was the one who made Wookieepedia aware of this, so I dare say my vote should count. I call foul and underhanded abuse by the administrator!!! :( Jediphile 13:07, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * If you'd bothered to click the link you'd see exactly why the vote was struck. You have to have at least 50 main namespace edits to vote in a TC. You have 29. And don't un-strike it again. Green Tentacle (Talk) 13:11, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * So apparently me being the source of this knowledge doesn't count. Besides, looking at my page here: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/Jediphile I'd say I've done more than 50 edits. Since you voted "delete" that speaks volumes and seems rather below board in that you seem to be trying to subvert the voting process. I'll refrain from saying what I think about that and you right now out of sheer politeness and instead consider whether I want to continue being a Wookieepedian at all :( Jediphile 13:16, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Source of what knowledge? If you mean the Revan stuff, it isn't even relevant to that TC. And I enforced a policy. Simple. You have over 50 total, but not article edits as stated in the policy which you've clearly still not bothered to read. You'll note that one of the delete votes was struck for the same thing. It happens a lot. Get over it, go and make some useful contributions and you'll be eligible to vote. But don't let me stop you if you feel like flouncing. Green Tentacle (Talk) 13:24, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's interesting that you cite a policy that lists not the edits that are registered on the user page, so that it makes it impossible for the user to know what rights he has. It smacks of "that's the way it is according to the rule I just made up". That's the sort of policy that makes people angry and start vandalizing the site. I guess I should just look hard at a bunch of small stuff to edit now so my vote counts, but frankly my opinion of Wookieepedia is so low right now that I can't even be bothered to consider it. Who's flouncing? Well, who brought it up? Jediphile 13:32, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * It's not impossible. Set the namespace drop down box on your contributions page to main and you'll see a list of just article edits. Or you can look on Special:Editcount/Jediphile which clearly says 29. Now drop it. Green Tentacle (Talk) 13:36, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * And don't remove comments from discussion pages either. Green Tentacle (Talk) 13:38, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't even remove MY OWN COMMENTS?!? [insert shock and horror here] Apparently only you can delete my comments, while I cannot!!!! Please point out the rule where it says that! :( Jediphile 13:56, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * That's a longstanding rule on most wikis. Removing or editing comments gives an inaccurate view of the discussion as a whole. You really don't need to take this so personally. You can continue make comments on the page, just not vote yet. And I've already told you how to go about becoming eligible to vote. If you devoted some effort to that instead of banging on about a policy that was agreed by the community you might get somewhere. Green Tentacle (Talk) 14:14, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * So you can't even point to a rule beyond a vague reference to "longstanding rules on most wikis"? I'll take that as confirmation that you can't cite one, since you have no problem consistently clobbering me over the head with the rules. As for the "devoting some effort", someone should really check my edit count again before making a blanket statement like that. Since I now have 50 edits, I assume you'll make my vote count, as you've made it more than abundantly clear that I have no right to do so or even edit my own comments. EDIT: Also, why are you undoing several of my recent edits as a matter of course without even considering their validity or asking for sources. That seems like bad faith. It also seems like personal persecution. Jediphile 16:13, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Congratulations. Go ahead and vote. As for the reverts; unnecessary change to an article nominated for FA, failure to correctly capitalise the Force or the Exile, OOU references in an IU section. We're looking for quality, not quantity. Green Tentacle (Talk) 16:59, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. But you'll have to revert it and unstrike it. I'm not allowed to, remember? And I don't understand why the note on Nihilus about dying and being reborn on Malachor V is deleted. That's a direct quote from the game, which is missing in his description. I'd think it had some importance. I also don't get why the Vrook comment was removed. It was more specific and factual than my earlier edit that you reverted it back into. And inferring lack of quality from the person who sourced the Revan retcon on Wookieepedia and updated his page with it? Tsk ,tsk... Jediphile 17:08, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, enough already, Jediphile. You're not God's gift to Wookieepedia. Stop bugging Green Tentacle just because you don't like your vote being struck or your edits being reverted. On this site, we have policies that all users have to follow. You are no exception, regardless of what you may think. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 17:17, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm simply following the rules strictly now. Apparently that's wrong too. My bad. Seems I'm the opposite of God's gift to Wookieepedia. Jediphile 17:34, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Jediphile, you need to drop it. It's a rule, like it or not. If you don't like it, then leave.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 16:16, December 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * And I followed it, so kindly mind your own business. Jediphile 16:18, December 13, 2009 (UTC)

Conflict
Hello Green tentacle, I am Galstone Jattzan. Before I say anything though, please note I have set my feelings aside and conidered this carefully so It would be as quick as possible for a busy admin like you (which I think is exelent and you diserve your rank) to understand A week ago, Topwatta and Raltir blocked me and Galen Marik for dissruption. Which of cource we where not. In an arguement on Lightsaber's Dr.Kermit and Grand Moff Trainer where be very rude and dissruptive, If you do not believe me then look on the lightsaber disscution around the bottom and the above users talk page. Even if Galen Marik is guilty (which I think is erronious) I cannot, for even if I was being dissruptive, then Topwatta and Raltir should have given me 3 warnings. He gave me none!. Now, I am sure you read the article on administrative powers and it says he should have given me 3 warnings. If you do not believe me, then see all these problems yourself. But I also have consulted with other users about this and most agree with me. I purpose that he should be stripped of his rank and someone else more responsable to be putt into his place. If you can not do that, then at least talk to him admin to admin.

I know you will make the best decition possible, even if it is against me, but his actions are highly offencive and I am telling this to you because I know your a extremely responsible administrator and you are one of the best admins i have ever seen.

May the force be with you.

Gar Stazi FA status
Hi Green tentacle. I haven't been able to contribute much to the Wook over the past several months, but I have been meaning to add to update the Stazi article. I had a chance to glance over the additions made in light of Legacy #42 today. The information is accurate, though it could use some polish. :-)

I put alot of hard work into getting Stazi to FA status, so I would hate tyo see it lose that honor. My time for the Wook is unfortunately very limited for the forseeable future, but if you feel it needs to additional work to help it keep this status let me know. I will do my best to lend a hand. :)

AdmiralNick22 23:06, December 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think it just needs the new stuff cleaning up. If you don't have time, I'll try to do it myself sometime, or nag one of the WookieeProject Legacy Era guys to do it. Green Tentacle (Talk) 14:39, December 29, 2009 (UTC)

Award
Thanks for the award, GT. :)  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 16:38, January 2, 2010 (UTC)

Hello, I believe you are the one who blocked me from Wookieepedia. First of all, I am confused. An administrator, like yourself, should know that the plural for Jedi is Jedi, not 'Jedis'. Second of all, the person who gave me the 'definition' of [sic] was not clear at all. Lastly, I read on the IRC page to not be a dick. Shouldn't that apply to you, too?

I'm confused.

P.S. Because of you, I don't like Lando anymore.
 * I know what the plural of Jedi is. Everybody else knows what the plural of Jedi is. But we're also familiar with the concept of a quote. Enforcing a policy is not being a dick and maybe you should have read the three-revert policy instead. And I fail to see what any of this has to do with Lando. Happy New Year!

Inuse tag
Hi. I have a question. A user put the inuse tag on the Cut Lawquane's farm article a couple of days ago, but hasn't really been working actively on it, even leaving some errors. Now, Wikipedia states that an inuse tag should be removed if it has been up for more than two hours since the last edit. I've searched, but not managed to find any corresponding guidelines for this site. The user who put the template on the aforementioned article did his last edit to it more than a day ago. Is it allowed to remove the tag by now? Thanks in advance. - Nistra Talk 15:57, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Don't think we have a specific guideline, but I'd leave it for another day or so before removing it. Green Tentacle (Talk) 19:32, January 4, 2010 (UTC)

Music infobox
Hey! I was wondering why you deleted Music infobox. I recreated it because I was in the middle of editing when you deleted it. If it's absolutely necessary, you can redelete it. I think it would be useful for music articles. Thanks and God bless! Master Fredcerique 22:32, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * It was just a copy of WPinfobox with different colours. I see what you're trying to do now, but please refrain from constant saves. There's a preview button for a reason. Green Tentacle (Talk) 22:35, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey! Could you help me get rid of the customizable colors on Music infobox, please. Thanks and God bless! Master Fredcerique 23:51, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Not right now. But I can take a look tomorrow. Green Tentacle (Talk) 00:13, January 8, 2010 (UTC)

Jinda (species)
Hey, Gt, I noticed you've recently done quite a nice expansion of Jinda (species). Do you have an aspiration to nominated for FAN sometime? WookieeProject Aliens currently lacks a J species for our Alphabet Challenge... (hint, hint). Seriously, nice work; I do hope you nominate it at some point. :) ~ SavageBob 23:23, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks. The original plan was to just sort out the mess a bit. But I may well try to FAN it. Green Tentacle (Talk) 00:08, January 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yay! --Eyrezer 11:43, February 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey GT. Are you still planning on nominating this article? --Eyrezer 05:41, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

Guri in SWG

 * Enoch says you're looking for a picture of Guri as she appears in Star Wars Galaxies. I recently received a free month of play time, so if you want me to snap one, let me know (although I will say that even with all the graphical bells and whistles active, SWG doesn't exactly take a good picture :P).

What did I do wrong?
What did I do wrong when leaving a message about Celchu trial to Inquisition? Care to enlight me a bit?--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 23:02, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually&hellip;nothing. It's late and it had the CSD template on it. :P I'll restore it. Don't expect much progress though. We're slow enough at getting through the FANs. Other articles are pretty much ignored. Green Tentacle (Talk) 23:09, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Good to know that it was nothing I did. We have slightly different way of choosing our FAs in Finnish Jedipedia, so I'm not quite sure what I'm supposed to do.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 23:12, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * My bad on the CSD template. I thought you were doing something else.  OLIOSTER  (talk) 23:14, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you're hoping it'll make it to FA, then just nominate it. The page you created is just for feedback, which is slow to come and won't lead to it becoming featured without being nominated later anyway. From a quick glance, you need to source the outcome in the infobox, by the way. Green Tentacle (Talk) 23:16, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * It says in the instructions to ask Inquisition first so I did. And that outcome bit takes like two seconds for me to fix so no problem there.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 23:18, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * Nominations go straight on the FAN page. The Inq page is for other stuff. Green Tentacle (Talk) 23:24, February 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * There it is now, where it should be. I think.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 23:30, February 26, 2010 (UTC)

Death in the Slave Pits of Lorrd
I was wondering if you're a suscriber to Hyperspace? If you are would you do me a favor and let me know what part the droid DV-9 has in Death in the Slave Pits of Lorrd? I'm working on the article on my workbench, and am thinking of GAing it later, which I can't do without the info from the Hyperspace story. Any help would be massively appreciated, thanks. Dr. Kermit ( Complain. ) 03:12, March 2, 2010 (UTC)

CSWE image requests
Hey GT. I have a favor to ask of you, will you please upload the images of Koffi Arana, Melik Galerha, Galerha's lightsaber, and Traavis? Thanks.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 20:57, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Will try to do them tomorrow. Green Tentacle (Talk) 22:31, March 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you GT.--Jedi Kasra (comlink) 13:40, March 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * All scanned. I've replaced and deleted the previous Traavis infobox image since it was the same photo at lower quality. Koffi's image isn't in the article yet due to the in use notice. The lightsaber image is tiny and really close to the spine. CSD it if it sucks too much. Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:39, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Ill kill u silly octi!!!!!!!!!!
 * That would be "I'll kill you" not "Ill kill u." Please learn to write, as it tends to come in handy. The article in question was written out of universe, in the present tense, had no sources, and was filled with random, giant images. All of which suggests you haven't bothered to familiarize yourself with the way this site works. Oh, and please remember to sign your death threats with ~ . Thank you.

Image request
Hey Green Tentacle,

I was wondering if you could do me a favour! A couple months back, you uploaded a higher-quality version of this image after I uploaded a pretty poor one. I'm guessing that you have the DVD of the Droids episodes, or at least much better-quality episodes than I have, so I'm wondering if you can maybe provide me with high-quality versions of a few more. If not, no worries at all, and if so, I owe you many thanks.

I've uploaded the images here... http://boards.theforce.net/UserPages/Profile.aspx?user=Jeff_Ferguson (please click on the link at the bottom... sorry about this; wikia won't let me link to photobucket). The first one (trapdoorplummet) is from The New King at around 13:09. "squidtangle" is from The Pirates of Tarnoonga at about 8:33. The three ones of R2 swimming --- I only want one of those, but I have three up there because he's moving pretty quickly, making it difficult to nab a good screenshot. They're also from Tarnoonga, at 8:52, 8:56. and 9:02 respectively. And finally, "forbiddenlove" is from Coby and the Starhunters at about 14:29.

Again, if I'm asking the wrong person, or if it's too much trouble, no worries and sorry to bother you. Cheers! Menkooroo 09:26, May 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * You are a champion! I really appreciate this. No rush at all, either; I won't have the Jann Tosh arc of Droids completed for Artoo and Threepio for a while yet. You can upload them to the wook if you want, or e-mail them to me at gradualferguson@hotmail.com, or whatever is easiest for you. Menkooroo 00:01, May 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! The images look amazing. That was really awesome of you to go to that trouble. I'm pretty sparse on sources where I live right now, but if you need anything from the, uh... radio dramas or Legacy Era Campaign Guide, let me know. :^) Menkooroo 13:27, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

Account Help
GT...

Sorry, this might not be the best forum for this question/issue, but I don't know what else to do. The email address I originally used to create my account is no longer functioning. To top it off, I forgot my password, and then accidentally had a new one sent to my email. So I'm basically locked out. :(

Any way you or another admin can get my new email in my account and get me a new password so I can get back in? Sorry for the trouble.

 * Sorry, but that's beyond the power of us admin types. Try asking one of the Wikia staff if they can do anything, but you might end up having to register again. Green Tentacle (Talk) 17:55, May 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Email Wikia staff using either Special:Contact or by emailing to .

Signature Stuff
Hi, I'm new here, and I noticed that the Nosubst template was deleted. My signature in my preferences requires the Nosubst template to function properly, because on all the other wikis I contribute to, they all use that template, so without it, I cannot use my sig. If you have a way to solve this problem, that would be great. Thanks, User:SSgtGriffin/sig 19:59, August 3, 2010 (UTC) (SSgtGriffin)
 * Not sure why it was deleted, but probably because it's not particularly useful. Can you make a signature that works without it? Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:08, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I removed the Nosubst in my preferences and simplified my sig here. But now when I sign all my sig code appears. Nosubst makes the sig template appear instead of the sig code itself. SSgtGriffin   Talk    21:29, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Farlander in Blueprints: Rebel Edition
Hey GT; my copy came today, and here's the passage with Farlander: "At the Battle of Yavin, three Rebel pilots of Gold Squadron - Jon Vander (Gold Leader), Tiree (Gold Two), and Davish "Pops" Krail (Gold Five) - flew their Y-wings in the first bombing run into the Death Star's trench. Meanwhile, Keyan Farlander (Gold Seven) provided tactical support and held off enemy TIE fighters. Farlander was his squadron's only survivor."
