Search icons
Are both you and Sikon approving the new proposals for Search icons? Most of the current proposals have been sitting there for some time now. I'm gonna stop on any new proposals for the forseeable future - unless I find an image that just cries out to be one - so as to keep from overwhelming whoever it is that approves them. *L* - JMAS 18:24, 23 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Basically any admin can approve them. But yeah, we seem to be the only two doing it. And we already have a ton. Thanks for making some :) —Xwing328 (Talk) 17:52, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Giant-Size Wookieepedia logo
With some allowances made for size: undermine.net/tracy/mirth/wook/pediaMFingBIG.png. Saved at a print DPI (150) when shrunken it ought to work. If you need a JPG or whatever let me know ASAP, because I'm moving and the PC with the images and the Photoshop is going down in a day or so and probably won't be back until next week. I'll try to throw some stuff on a key drive so I can do tweaks elsewhere, but no guarantees because, well, moving.

And BTW, the font used in the original Wookiee search icon (and most of the logo) is Episode I.
 * On second thought... Uploaded a JPG and a (layered) TIFF (.tif) version, since I doubt the PNG preserved the original DPI. (Same file names, new extension) And also I forgot to sign. -- Dark Spork 16:41, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * That'll work. I think it's MFing big enough :P Thank you!!! —Xwing328 (Talk) 16:51, 24 April 2007 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. :) I blew it up a bit more than was probably wise, but hopefully it'll scale better that way. -- Dark Spork 21:13, 24 April 2007 (UTC)

Thanks Xwing, I knew I could count on you.--Windu223 21:09, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Wookiee-Cast
Whoop, sorry for the late reply. Yes, I will be hosting WC X, and it promises to be pretty damn good...since it's the last one for a while. It's also been delayed a week. Thefourdotelipsis 23:16, 28 April 2007 (UTC)

Button
How did you get that red button that makes you log out and return to the Main Page? I'm never pressing it again.--Windu223 23:55, 28 April 2007 (UTC)
 * It does say don't press it :P —Xwing328 (Talk) 00:45, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Skin/Logout.js
What's the point of it? - Sikon 04:46, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * We were just testing it out. GHe brought it up. If you really want, we can remove it all. —Xwing328 (Talk) 15:12, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I've deleted Logout since it was in the main namespace and had started to show up as a double redirect. Green Tentacle (Talk) 10:22, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

Kella Rand
Hi Xwing328, for the most part I found this artile to written clearly. It explains the character clearly and leaves no questions hanging; also, the layout is nice to the viewers eyes, with no big gaps, and flows nicely. I objected to the article temporarily, because I noticed a couple grammatical things that I wanted to fix before I gave my support for it. I just got time this morning to do it, so I've striked my objection and, the article now has my support. Your question on my talk page reminded me what I wanted to do, thanks. Cheers! Greyman ( Paratus ) 13:16, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you! —Xwing328 (Talk)

Fixed your objection
On the Great Jedi Purge inquisitorious page, I fixed your objection there. Could you please strike the objection? Thanks. -- Darthchristian  ( Hey! ) 20:38, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Done! —Xwing328 (Talk) 21:59, 29 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. -- Darthchristian  ( Hey! ) 23:58, 29 April 2007 (UTC)

Pink Kidneys
Hey Xwing. I remembered you did a text search for "kidney" to get info for that article. I was wondering if you could do the same for the word "pink" for me? I'm looking for a reference to a pink Duro that is claimed on the Near-Duros article, but has no source. Thanks. --Eyrezer 12:24, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey Eyrezer - there are actually too many hits on it for me to go through now, even narrowing it down to "pink" and "duro". If you have any other keywords or could narrow the sources down some, that might help. —Xwing328 (Talk) 15:20, 1 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Wow, really? I would never have guessed. I can't really think of any way to narrow it down, so don't worry about it. --Eyrezer 01:55, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Manning the CIV Table
Hey, just FYI - Remember when I volunteered to set up a master schedule, so that we can keep the table manned at all times? Please head over to my Manning the CIV table page and let me know when you can volunteer. Thanks! --Bobvitas 13:33, 1 May 2007 (UTC)

Craken
Why did you take my info off of Ceaken's page? I am 99% positive that it is him. If you want a better picture please go to: http://www.rebelscum.com/tsc046rebelB.asp and: http://www.rebelscum.com/photo.asp?image=/TSC/tsc046rebelinsert.jpg It says on the page The figure of the Rebel Trooper is actually a gunner aboard the Milennium Falcon during the Battle of Endor. That makes it him. Please let me know what you think. Thank you and have a nice day! Anzati02 13:04, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Stump the Wookiee
Hey! What's up man? I am more than willing to help organize the "Stump the Wookiee" contest. I will get with Ozzel on that as well. Do we know if we have access to the fan stage?--Taybo20 14:46, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Title change
Hello, would you mind changing Bromstaad boys to their proper name Brommstaad Mercenaries (sic), please? 62.31.69.202 12:03, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Done! Sorry for the delay in getting to it...I've been pretty busy. Thanks for pointing it out! —Xwing328 (Talk) 00:46, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, turns out there's also two seperate articles on the same thing aswell. I can't win. ;) 62.31.69.202 13:16, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hehe, well I think its all worked out now...again :P —Xwing328 (Talk) 15:33, 9 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. ;) 62.31.69.202 16:00, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Me again, IP address changed. *rolls eyes* Would you mind changing X-10D droid brain to X10-D or X10-D droid brain (although the brain is seperate from the 'character'/shell), please? The hyphen's in the wrong place. :) 82.39.72.136 18:22, 6 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry it took me so long to get to this. It's fixed now. That article could use a tiny bit of expansion, too. —Xwing328 (Talk) 04:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks :D 82.39.72.136 23:39, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Dace Diath
Hey Xwing. I just finished a rewrite and expansion of the Dace Diath article. I was wondering if you could look over it and let me know how it looks from your perspective. I'm think I'm going to try promoting it for GA status sometime in the near future. Thanks for your time and help, Cheers! Greyman ( Paratus ) 21:09, 12 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey again, I don't know if you were able to look over the article or not, but I put it on the GA page yesterday. Thanks anyways.   Greyman ( Paratus ) 11:30, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll look at it eventually. I've been very busy and won't be on much at all, because I just started a nearly full-time internship in addition to a summer course. —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, good luck with the internship! Greyman ( Paratus ) 19:30, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Scroll Box
Hi, I am having some (more like a lot of) trouble arranging my user boxes, I am trying to put them in a scroll box but half of them aren't there and I tried putting them in seperate boxes but I can't get one of them to show up. If you wouldn't mind I could use some advice. P.S. I'm Fett 1138  ( HoloNet Transceiver )  I don't know what's going on but my computer logs me off every time I log on.
 * It looks like the problem is that Texas userbox, but I can't think of a way to fix it, besides making it an actual template. —Xwing328 (Talk) 00:26, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, the login thing is a known issue - see Forum:Logon problems if you haven't already. —Xwing328 (Talk) 00:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Fett 1138 ( HoloNet Transceiver ) [[Image:Mandoinsignia.png|15px]] 17:35, 18 May 2007 (UTC)

GH-7
You objected to this article as an FA on its Inq page. Solus says he has since addressed your concerns. When you have time, could you check if your objection still applies? It is currently the only thing holding it back from FA status. Cheers. --Eyrezer 12:53, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * It still seems redundant to me, especially the part where both sections discuss the droid's three arms. Some of that information could probably be moved to the other section, or maybe those two sections could be merged. —Xwing328 (Talk) 16:10, 18 May 2007 (UTC)
 * I added your comment to the Inq page, so Solus can see it. --Eyrezer 01:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey. I reworked the sections on this article if you'd like to have another work. It should not overlap anymore, but the prose may not be fantiastic. Sorry for bugging you. --Eyrezer 05:37, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol, yes I saw this, if that's what the update was for. I'm actually reading/editing it right now. —Xwing328 (Talk) 05:39, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool. --Eyrezer 05:47, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

If you have five seconds
Can you delete a picture for me? I put "speedy" on it, but that was a few hours ago. Also I'm not sure I necessarily understad how deletion works. Either way, I put the image up, its a user page image...And now I'd like for it to be deleted. I'm not on very good terms with any of the other moderators (not cos there's anything I've done wrong, but rather because I haven't made contact with any of them really.) so I thought I should ask if you could deal with it. Thanks if you can. Thanks if you can't. The image is Image:Jago.JPG Jagged Fel,  (Yo!)
 * I dunno if it was you who deleted it or not. But thanks if you did. Jagged Fel,  (Yo!)[[Image:JagFel.jpg|20px]]
 * It wasn't me, but you're welcome anyways. —Xwing328 (Talk) 04:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Laptops

 * I'm going to be bringing along a pair of 1990s-era laptops to C IV. Time and assistance permitting, I'm going to get a friend to help me get a Linux distro on them; otherwise, they're going to be coming with Windows 95 and/or 98.  If these are going to be at all useful, bring along a CD with any software/dumps/tarballs/other things that would be handy to have on them.  If they're NOT going to be useful, feel free to point at me and laugh at me when I show up with them.  I doubt I'll be checking my talk page again before I leave, so if you need to get in touch with me, you can ask Riffsyphon for my cell number. jSarek 06:31, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * So what ever happened to those laptops? —Xwing328 (Talk) 04:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * One turned out to have a broken CD-ROM drive, so I couldn't do jack with it. The other one my friend tried to get to work, realized that it had so little memory not even a stripped down version of a modern Linux distro would run on it, and basically said "even if I get an older distro, there's no way in hell there's enough memory to run it, a database program, and a modern browser all at the same time."  Knowing that there was no way they'd be in any way useful even if you did manage to burn the software, I left them behind, as they were awfully heavy to bring to use as paperweights. jSarek 08:47, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Fundage
Okay, we're here in California now. But we're going to need to be able to pay for the brochures. I should be free and online most of the evening. Just drop me a message so we can figure out what to do. -- Ozzel 20:11, 23 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol, nice that I get both of these comments after the event. —Xwing328 (Talk) 04:58, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Heh heh, at least things worked out fairly smooth. --  Riffsyphon  1024 05:03, 1 June 2007 (UTC)

Coding
I was wondering if you could help me with some coding. here is what I've done so far. But currently the width of the darker blue boxes is not static. When the text in the four boxes changes, the width adjusts. Can you fix that? --Eyrezer 04:37, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I take it you already figured it out? That page is blank now. —Xwing328 (Talk) 15:53, 15 June 2007 (UTC)

Inq meeting

 * This Saturday, for you. They'll be discussing some relevant stuff that may interest you. Whistler may also be asked to do some things, so I'm told. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 13:30, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I'll try to be there. —Xwing328 (Talk) 19:07, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Droid Help
Hi. I'm working on a new droid (user: TC-14), but I don't know how to, and don't have the time, probably, to upload his data stuff. I was wondering if you could help me out with it. Thanks, Jediknight19bby 01:04, 3 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi Jediknight16bby! I don't know how you plan on having a droid help you with sourcing, but if you're serious about this, see User:Xwing328/Pywikipedia, and be sure to read Droids if you haven't already. I won't be able to help you set it up, run it, etc. I might be able to help with specific bot tasks, though. —Xwing328 (Talk) 19:04, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Darth Bane
Hello Xwing. If you have time could you check out Darth Bane? It was a former featured article, and I did some work to try to restore it to FA status. Thanks. Chack Jadson 12:24, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey Chack! I just did a copyedit of it, and I'd say it's up to par again. I didn't look at the references though...is it fully sourced? —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:18, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, everything is sourced. Chack Jadson 00:50, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool :) —Xwing328 (Talk) 03:59, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

GA's
Hey Xwing, I was just curious: Does an article have to be nominated for at least a week, with five votes for and no objections, to be considered a GA? Or as soon as it gets five votes, no obj's, it's a GA? I'm just curious because according to the GA nom page, it's after a week...and that's what I've been going by. Clarification would be great :D, Cheers. Greyman ( Paratus ) 04:40, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's supposed to be a week to prevent vote abuse. I guess I've been kinda lax on that rule, sorry. —Xwing328 (Talk) 03:17, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Winter Celchu
Hi Xwing, you were so kind as to help with Winter a few months ago when I was working on her. I was wondering if you would be willing to help me out again. On her FA nomination Atarumaster asked for more details from Mandatory Retirement which A) I don't have and B) even if I did, I'm in France. Could you possibly work on the article? If not let me know ASAP and I'll try to make a go of it based on the seekrit online versions of the comics...  - breathesgelatin Talk 11:47, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Salut Breathes, sorry I didn't get back to you sooner. This is my first time on all week. I only have digital copies of Mandatory Retirement, and I'm not sure how much time I'll have this week. I'll take a look at it right now, so hopefully I can make a few improvements. If it's easier for you, I can email you the copies so you wouldn't have to read them online. Bonne nuit! —Xwing328 (Talk) 03:21, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Bot work
I have a list of requests for your droid. Mine doesn't work yet and is too lazy. Thanks! -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 00:44, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Replace Image:Oldsith.jpg with Image:Oldsith.png
 * Done. —Xwing328 (Talk) 04:16, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Replace Image:Mandskull.jpg with Image:Mandoinsignia.png
 * Replace Image:Republican_Emblem.gif and Image:Galactic_Republic.JPG with Image:Republican_Emblem.png
 * The others should be done too, but the links haven't refreshed yet. —Xwing328 (Talk) 04:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Vandal
Hello, Xwing328, could you please ban this user: Fvasconcellos? He's vandalized several articles. Thank you. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 16:57, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like Silly Dan beat me to it. —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:45, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I meant to tell you that. Sorry. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 20:36, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

Inq meeting

 * Xwing328, we are having an meeting for Inqs this weekend, and your attendance/input would be greatly appreciated. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 15:35, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

rabbit
Could you do a search for "rabbit" in your text files of the novels etc? I'm curious as to how often it pops up. --Eyrezer 12:29, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, I didn't find much at all. Nothing in the novels, but one or two sources. —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:32, 27 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. What were the sources? --Eyrezer 06:43, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't remember, but I added them to rabbit and one to Silly Rabbit. —Xwing328 (Talk) 22:52, 28 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh, and I nom'd Algae as a GA in case you're interested! --Eyrezer 00:05, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Admin Age

 * Hey, Xwing328, I was wondering what age you have to be to be an administrator. I saw that the majority of votes were under 18, but I believe that to be to restrictive. I'm 14 and I was wondering if it had been decided that you HAD to be 18. I'm on the Wookiepedia ALL the time and I try to do as much as I can to improve and make the Wookipedia the best source of Star Wars since the Databank. I do not know what it is like to be an administrator, but I'd like to. I was just wondering. Thanks! Vezz801 20:09, 6 August 2007 (UTC)


 * Nevermind. I just saw that you HAVE to be 18. Thanks anyway, I'll just wait four more years. Vezz801 20:14, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner - I've been out of town. Yes, you're right that you have to be 18. Thanks for continuing to contribute!
