Logos
Could you by any chance upload the symbol used by the Yuuzhan Vong in the New Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology? I would greatly appreciate being able to have that image for the Yuuzhan Vong Empire article. -- SFH 19:56, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for uploading that. -- SFH 23:06, 6 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Not a problem. Let me know if there is anything else I can help with -- Volemlock

Astro droids
Hi. I'm the guy who made all those astro droid articles kwenn doesn't like. I noticed you've been filling in infoboxes for them. I can do that too, but I reek at filling them in. So, how about a little teamwork. I can go to astro droid articles and put the box in. Then you can fill it in. Deal? Rod

Editing images in real life
Hey, how do you cut of part of an image in the image editor thing (image editor on your computer, not on Wookieepedia)? Breathesgelatin found a website that scans comic books. However, mutiple panels count as one picture, and I want to cut off the extra panels. I can erase the panels entirely with the eraser and stuff, but then the picture shows the panel with just empty whiteness around it. Do you know how I can completly get rid of the white spots to make just the panel itself? -- Cato Neimoidia 19:56, 26 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi there, I use a "crop" tool in a photo editing package to edit the scans so that there is only one panel. If you dont have these facilities I would be happy to give you a hand if you let me know where the images you want are and what you want doing with them.  If I have not answered you question correctly or I can help you in any other way please let me know.  Thanks -- Volemlock


 * Thanks. That helps a lot. -- Cato Neimoidia 23:10, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Screenshots
Hi, Volemlock. I recently uploaded a new screenshot of King Gorneesh that I took from the Star Wars: Ewoks DVD. I wanted a full-body shot for the infobox. The other image on the page is from you; it's a picture of Gorneesh seated and pointing. Your screenshot is much clearer than mine, though, so I thought I'd ask you for a few tips. Is the blurriness in my photo a result of the source material (DVD) being low-quality? Is it perhaps due to my monitor being set at a non-optimal resolution for taking screenshots? My Gorneesh image isn't horrible by any means, but it is not as crisp as the one you uploaded. Any tips? I am using a Macintosh PowerBook and using the standard screenshot command to take pictures. Thanks! — SavageBob 19:00, 11 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, Unfortunately the Ewok related Images I uploaded were ones that I found on the web.   I would love to help but I really dont think that I can offer any answers.  I copied your image into a photo editing package and tried to adjust the contrast and sharpen the image but it didn't really improve the situation.  Sorry I cant be of much help the Ewok DVD is one of the few resources that I dont have.  Nice work on the Ewok related articles by the way they have been neglected in the past!  I have enjoyed looking through the obscure character articles. I was surprised to see that the Jinda's were Ewoks, they dont look much like Ewoks?  Is it the Star Wars: Galaxies source that confirms them as Ewoks?  Thanks — volemlock, 11 May 2006
 * Okay, thanks for the help. The Jindas as Ewoks revelation comes from A Guide to the Star Wars Universe. It was carried over into the Star Wars Encyclopedia as well. — SavageBob 17:46, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Adventure Journal
I've noticed that you've uploaded a couple of pictures from the SW Adventure Journal 5 (SWAJ 5). Thank you very much for that. I assume you own a copy of SWAJ 5 and have access to a scanner, so would it be possible for you to upload images for the following articles, based on material in the same issue, whenever you have the time? It would be greatly appreciated. But it's okay if you don't have the time to upload the images. Thanks. KEJ 09:57, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

 * Hi, I have uploaded the images that you requested (see links above). I have also uploaded 2 images from Stock Ships if they are of any use to you.  Is it ok if I let you place them.  Please let me know if there are any other images that you need. volemlock, 27 May 2006


 * Thanks! That's great. I'll let you know if more images are needed. :-) KEJ 10:51, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Questions about Uploading Files
I'm trying to upload a fue Images for the Gallery of New Essential(sp?) Guide to Charictres Images but I don't know how to get them in to that Gallery. Allso I don't know what the Box that says Destination filename is for. oh and when I have an Image like that from something like the NEGTC What do I save it as? What Catagorie?

Star Wars Fact Files Question

 * I was wondering if you could take a look at The Official Star Wars Fact File 127 and see if it says anything about Frija Torlock's father being named Lexhannen. Cull Tremayne 15:24, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I have read the article about Frija Torlock in the above fact file and could not find any reference to Lexhannen. -- Volemlock 16:44, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the help. Cull Tremayne 19:26, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Ortugg
Hellow again, I'm the one who helpd you with that quote problem. I was looking over the Gamorrean gallery and saw you were wondering about an Ortugg pic. It's the one with him with the ax, not the old one were he looked like he was about to barf. I got that pic. off the internet when I looked up "Ortugg". I hope you like it better. I also have made a page nobody else conceived, surprisingly, it's called Gamorrean guard. Enjoy, and thanks. --Jabbathehuttgartogg
 * I just didn't know if it was actually Ortugg or just a generic Gamorrean Guard? If you know that it is Ortugg thats fine with me. -- Volemlock 11:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Quotes
I'm finding some quotes to add. I already added two and I'm searching some more. Hope I'm help. --Jabbathehuttgartogg
 * Thanks for you help -- Volemlock 11:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Gamorrean
I just wanted to say that you have done a fantastic job with the Gamorreans. After reading that article, and also looking at the gallery, I have to say that I see Gamorreans differently. They appear in a lot of places, once you start to look for them. Keep up the awesome work. --Eyrezer 10:42, 13 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your support, I really appreciate it -- Volemlock 11:40, 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Red links

 * Well, Well, Well, would you look at this, you took my idea. You did an Alsome (if not Spectacular} job with the red links feasco. I was just about to clear some up. This should make the grade completly. I don't know what else to do, quite frankly. I may add a pic. of Jubnuk getting eaten. then find some more of those rare quotes. Unfortunatly I can only find them in Star Wars info. books, I'm already staked on top of comics galore. None have been help. How long did it take you to do all of the red links? thanks, --Jabbathehuttgartogg 13 August 2006 (UTC)

Tripod
You found a tripod pic! That is so awesome! Thx SO MUCH! Did that mag have a pic of the Affytechans too?JustinGann 18:38, 17 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No unfortunately the is no image of the Affytechans. Are there any other sources? -- Volemlock 18:05, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Gamorrean Guards in Bounty Hunter
1.)I play bounty hunter a lot and I was wondering about the Gamorreans. You encounter roughly, about 6 or 9 of them, then they dissappear 'till Gardulla's Palace. I will add this to both Gamorrean and Gamorrean guard, but are they Meeko 's henchmen or something else? they have no place in the level. You don't see them at the other levels in the Chapter. Do you have the game? I should have asked that at the beginning of this segment. --Jabbathehuttgartogg 05:28, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No I am afraid I have not played that game. -- Volemlock 08:34, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, youcan only find it anymore at Gamestop or ebay. Play it sometime. Thanks though. --Jabbathehuttgartogg 09:00, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

Rogua or Warlug


Who is that getting killed by Luke with the lightsaber. I know it's either Rogua or Warlug, 'cause there the only ones who are posted on the deck of the Sailbarge. the Gamorrean has a gun. I got it myself. It looks cool. --Jabbathehuttgartogg   14:01, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
 * wait a minute, It's warlug. i remember putting that down on his page. Well, do you still like the Pic.? --Jabbathehuttgartogg [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|30px]] [[Image:Desilijic Clan (Jabba’s Tattoo) .jpg|30px]] 14:04, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Apologies, if needed

 * Volemlock, I placed the UserNominated template I made on your user page. If you would have preferred I not do that or consult you first, I am sorry. In the future, I'll ask a user's permission before placing it. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 00:57, 5 September 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem thats fine. Thanks -- Volemlock 16:19, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Orn Free Taa
You forgot him on the Twi'lek gallery page. I added him, bud. -- Jabbathehuttgartogg   21:44, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for uploading pictures of the creatures in Creatures of the Galaxy. I have a copy of the book, but my scanner is broken, so I just put the image template on the pages. I didn't think someone would respond so soon. Nice job.--Lord OblivionComlink 00:58, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Images
Hey, do you have the profle pic of Vialco from Uhl Eharl Khoehng scanned? Cull Tremayne 04:53, 4 October 2006 (UTC) Hard to mooch off you again (ok not really :D), but is there a picture of Mox Slosin in Alliance Intelligence Reports? Cull Tremayne 22:39, 10 October 2006 (UTC) You're scans from The New Essential Guide to Alien Species are fabulous. Are you planning to scan and upload the rest of the planets? Your scans are much higher res and quality than the rest in the gallery. - JMAS 06:21, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Is this the image that you wanted. Let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with -- Volemlock 18:28, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yep, thanks again. Cull Tremayne 21:05, 4 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Here is the image of Mox Slosin. I added the image to the article and I also added his homeworld of Entuur to the infobox. Please let me know if there are any other images that you need. -- Volemlock 18:30, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Can you get any cooler? Thanks again. Cull Tremayne 21:43, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I can continue uploading them. I will try and do a few each day. Thanks for your support. -- Volemlock 17:56, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * That's great! Many thanks. - JMAS 19:01, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Was wondering if you were still planning to continue uploading the remaining planet images from the NEGAS book. I've tried, and I just can't get them looking as good as your scans. - JMAS 13:46, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I will try and upload some more today. -- Volemlock 13:51, 16 December 2006 (UTC)

Tibor
Hi, if its not to much trouble, could you get me an image of Tibor from Zorba the Hutt's Revenge? I would appreciate anything you can get. DarthAmazing 01:29, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Is this image ok?. Let me know if there is anything else I can help you with -- Volemlock 07:57, 28 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah! Thanks

NEGAS images
Please upload your images to the previous images that were in place. There's no reason to create two separate files when you can overwrite the previous one. Besides, it's causing all the older images to become useless files no one will use.--Ranat 23 20:40, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hey there Volemlock. Was wondering if you were able to keep uploading the better scans of the planets from NEGAS. Namely, the ones I'm looking for are: Ord Mynock, Yag'dhul, Yuuzhan'tar, Zolan, Castell, Selonia, Sembla, Skako, Skustell, Thyferra, Umbara and Zeltros. Would also love Vulpter but that one looks like it would be difficult. I know I'm being a pain, but your scans are great. Thanks. - JMAS 18:17, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

Species galleries
Hey. Just wanted to say, great work on the species galleries. I think it was you that did the first. I think they are a great idea! --Eyrezer 10:47, 24 November 2006 (UTC)
 * With regard to images, you might like to have a look at this consensus track on gallery-exclusive images. I voted that they should remain, with the species galleries specifically in mind. --Eyrezer 04:13, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Imperial commandos
You have The Essential Guide to Planets and Moons? In it, does it talk about the Imperial Navy Troopers? At the bottom of the talk page for Imperial commandos, there is discussion as to whether these two are the same thing. So we have Imperial Navy Troopers, Imperial Commandos, and Imperial Army Commandos to figure out which are the same! -BaronGrackle 09:17, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Jensaarai Mentor Award
Hey, Volem, I bestow upon you the Jensaarai Mentor Award. It's for people who provide Wookieepedia with knowledge which is often overlooked or which stems from more or less obscure canonical sources, like the Star Wars Adventure Journal. I give you this award because you have provided loads of obscure images to articles on obscure canonical elements from the Adventure Journal. Your efforts are much appreciated. KEJ 12:46, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much, I appreciate your support. I have placed a smaller version of the award on my user page. -- Volemlock 19:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Entymal
Hi Volemlock. I'm presuming that you have the Adventure Journals, and was wondering if you could pas on any unique information on the Entymals that appears in The Pentastar Alignment article in SWAJ3. I've written the article from Alien Encounters but have not been able add any info from SWAJ. I don't know if you could scan it or what. --Eyrezer 00:53, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, I dont think that there is much in the Adventure Journal that is not in the article/Alien Encounters book. Under story factors it says "Any Entymal will find most displays of affection by other races, especially among humans, confusing. Most male Entymals in general will find the entire pursuit of human love most disagreeable Quote -Really now! This fixation with the continuation of your species...disgusting!" I dont think that this is in the Alien Encounters book. I have added the quote to the article. -- Volemlock 10:05, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you --Eyrezer 04:00, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

External links vs. sources
Hi: I notice you've been adding a lot of Hyperspace links to articles. These should actually be listed under sources, rather than external links, according to our layout guide. Thanks, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 15:36, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me know. I will try and go back and put them in the correct place. -- Volemlock 15:40, 27 January 2007 (UTC)
 * OK. Thanks again for adding all those! &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 15:43, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Joint WOTM

 * Sikon just closed the WOTM vote for February, and you and Jaina Solo are the joint winners! Congrats, Volemlock, and keep up the good work. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 17:01, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, congrats Volemlock! 17:47, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well disserved. Joker1138 ( Mandalore ) [[Image:MandalorianSymbol.jpg|25px]]
 * Congratulations. Green Tentacle (Talk) 20:36, 2 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks for all your support, I really appreciate it. -- Volemlock 18:26, 3 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Way to go man :) Lord Titze the Dark Wanderer 04:22, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Just a note
It's hangar, not hanger. - TopAce 17:09, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well spotted. Thanks for correcting. -- Volemlock 17:12, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * My pleasure. :P - TopAce 17:13, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

Rappapor is a Bith?

 * Hey there. I noticed in this revision that you added Rappapor as a member of the Bith species. Did you have a source for that? If so, I'd like to include as much info as possible on this character (I just created a page) but the only source I know of mentioning Rappapor is The Last Command (where he/she/it appears only on pages 87 and 325 of the paperback) and I can't find anything else. Hit me back on my talk page or Rappapor's talk page if you can fill me in. Thanks. Wildyoda 22:51, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. That's exactly what I wanted to know. Wildyoda 01:51, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Aliens
Thanks Volemlock. Coming from the author of Gamorrean, it means a lot. It was reading that article that made me realise that species articles could actually be interesting and worth putting time and effort into. Oh and congrats on being WOTM this month. It was well deserved. --Eyrezer 00:26, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I see youve added a link to the Outsider to your userpage. Are you a contributor to it? --Eyrezer 09:54, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No, not at all. I just added it to remind me to check it out every so often. It looks interesting. -- Volemlock 10:03, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Yeah it does look interesting, but it is hard to judge without an issue out yet! :p --Eyrezer 10:05, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Herglic Trade Empire
Hi! I'm trying to gather info together for the article, Expansionist Era. I noticed you did a lot of work on the Herglic article. I was wondering if you had any info and sources for an article on the Herglic Trade Empire...even if it's only enough for a stub article! Feel free to leave a message on my talk page if you'd like. Have a good one : ) ~ Jaywin
 * Hi, I didnt add the "Herglic Trade Empire" link. I will have a look for a reference though, Thanks. -- Volemlock 20:17, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Help me, Volemlock, you're my only hope
Hi Volem, I've written a bunch of entries relating to Zirtran's Anchor (SWAJ 5) but they're desperately in need of images. Here's a category where they're collected. Maybe you could upload some images whenever you have the time. Thanks. KEJ 09:28, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Not to worry, I will get onto this. Always good to collaborate with you! -- Volemlock 10:54, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. You deserve a cookie for that ;-) KEJ 12:04, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

Uploading new images
I've noticed on the last several images you've uploaded, you are putting the Information template under a Summary section and also putting a licensing section below that, and in doing that, duplicating the licensing information. If you use the image information template and put the licensing tag in that, you don't need to also put a separate licensing tag below that. Thanks. - JMAS 17:32, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

House Pelagia
I was looking over this article today, and thought it could qualify as a Featured Article. Considering you are the one that wrote it, would you agree? At the moment it has too many red links, and it would need a lead quote, but that should not be too difficult. --Eyrezer 04:14, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Hi, I will definitely try to complete this article more fully. I have started with some citations and creating some redlink article. I am not sure if this is worthy of featured article status because of its length? Perhaps Good article status is more appropriate? -- Volemlock 17:40, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to see you hold Featured article status in such high regard! A length requirement has never been made offical for FAs but it is over 1000 words, which is unofficially the threshold. It strikes me that the Pelagia province information could be integrated into to the article to give it some more length. --Eyrezer 23:35, 26 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Lately, I've been researching Platt Okeefe in preparation for an expansion of her article. I have all the major sources involving her. However, what I'm still looking for are any relevant pieces of information on Okeefe that may be found in her various Smuggler's Logs or the Galaxywide NewsNets articles that mention her. An example of what I'm looking for is Okeefe's encounter with the Dread Pirate, Mendel Cutter while she was a "waif".


 * Having seen your Adventure Journal contributions to the Wookieepeida, I wondered if you could help at all? It would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! --Eyrezer 08:38, 1 April 2007 (UTC)

SWAJ 11 scan
Hey, could you perhaps scan the image of Dagon Niriz from Command Decision in Adventure Journal 11? The image we had was actually taken from Hyperspace, and we're temporarily using a grayscale version, but a scan would probably be the best way to go. Thanks. -- Ozzel 02:05, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Please find the image here. Hope that this is ok. Let me know if there is anything else that I can help you with. -- Volemlock 15:27, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks great, thanks! -- Ozzel 23:09, 14 April 2007 (UTC)
