 * Nice! -- Themelle444 18:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)


 * I thought we could use some Vehicle/Vessel icons in the mix - JMAS 02:58, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * May I request the creation of a Droideka icon. I just love those wicked things. --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:48, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * How's that work for ya? - JMAS 04:15, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

Is it just me, or should these images be at least marginally related to the concept of searching? I think probe droids and bounty hunters make perfect sense for search icons... but Burl Ives? Not so much. -- SM-716 talk? 17:51, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I have to agree. Burl Ives absolutely should not be in there. Nor should Mt Sorrow, or any of the black and white ones, they just look rediculous. - JMAS 17:59, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I agree on the Burl Ives one... but I think that's more of an in-joke. The rest, though, are more SW related. Even Mount Sorrow. Jorrel [[Image:Wiki-shrinkable.png|20px]] Fraajic 18:00, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I think that all of the icons are fine and appropriate. It doesn't matter if they are relevant to searching.-- Doquis (HoloConference)[[Image:Czerka Logo.JPG|30px]] 18:06, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * You should be able to make a search icon out of everything!--Themelle444 18:11, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * You should be able to clik on the picture and it brings you to the article.
 * The Wookiee wasn't appropriate to searching. BTW, Bly may be right about clicking the picture. Otherwise we will have countless threads asking about Burl and the Sun King. Maybe "Search" should be a separate image?  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 18:22, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Now very cool! Rotating icons. --  Riffsyphon  1024 18:31, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * The Wookiee was related to searching, he was looking down a scope. The Yoda one looks like he could be looking for one. Probe droids and bounty hunters also make sense. But the rest are really overkill. Wildyoda 19:40, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Yoda looks like he's about to TK somebody's ass into oblivion. Relating that to "Search" seems like a stretch to me. IMO, if you're going to have a random search icon thing like this, you need lots and lots of different icons in the pool. That means few, if any, limitations. (Though I'm not so sure about Burl :D )  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 20:10, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Variety is the spice of life. Joker1138 ( Mandalore ) [[Image:MandalorianSymbol.jpg|25px]]
 * Would it be obnoxious to ask that each one of these be put to a vote before it goes up (including the ones that are already up)? It just seems to me that a lot of things are being done lately by a single person making changes and asking if we like them later. Wildyoda 20:38, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Actualy, it would be obnoxious to ask that. If we voted on everything we did, no matter how small the change, nothing would get done. Honestly, who cares if the images don't have anything to do with searching? They're just pictures people, no need to get excited.-- Doquis (HoloConference)[[Image:Czerka Logo.JPG|30px]] 21:01, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I perceive a crossover with the other Burl Ives-related debate. (Poor Burl; he never could have imagined he would become a focal point for such contention!) I think the same "SW notability guidelines" we will likely develop (however loose) should be applied to Search icons. That means Voren Na'al stays, even if his only image is black and white (down with blatant color favoritism!). Beyond that, I don't see a need for limitations here. And I agree with Shaelas about not voting on every little thing.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 21:14, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * I DEFINETLY agree with SM-716. The icons should be search related. Granted, some of them are sort of ambiguous, but that should simply be decicded by one of the administrators, and if there is great distaste for it by the Wookiepedians it can simply be removed. Also, I noticed that when loading (on dial-up, at least) The old Wookie one is displayed before a new one is chosen. Is this supposed to happen? Either way, random search icons were a great idea! ben8kenobi 21:25, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
 * If some aren't search related but are characters from the movies, (only the 6 movies!) like the Lando or the hooded Palpatine, it should be all right, for the obvious reasons.
 * I like it. It has most everything but Han Solo and Darth Vader .  Edit: Thanks for getting those. -Fnlayson 04:20, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
 * While I appreciate you support Gonk, I must point out that it's Doquis, not Shaelas... at least for now.-- Doquis (HoloConference)[[Image:Czerka Logo.JPG|30px]] 21:38, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
