Re: Edit reversion
The reason I reverted your edit on that page was because the image was too small to be displayed at 250px. I could remedy that by rescanning it at a higher resolution, but the image in the comic is small to begin with. Forcing it to a size larger than its native resolution ends up making the pic look blurry or distorted. Images that are too small to be displayed at 250px can be displayed at their current small size. Not all images need to be at 250px, some simply are too small. I should have explained that in my edit summary and I apologize for that.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:41, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thank you for explaining. Like I have said before, I am trying to help. I know a lot of the pictures I have uploaded have been removed. I was told that anything around 720 X 406 is good for DVD captures of clone wars episodes, so I upload them, then they get removed. I don't understand, I am told one thing then someone tells me another and I get confused on what I should upload. Matt Seay (talk) 04:45, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Dooku image
Looks pretty good to me. Though, keep in mind that if Dooku's article is cluttered with images already, adding more may clutter it further. In the meantime, I went ahead and formatted the image for you.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:44, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay cool, thanks. I think I finally got it right. Thanks for the help. Matt Seay (talk) 05:50, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Images
I apologize for the problems with the images&mdash;it was not my intention to make it seem like you were being targeted, although I probably came off that way. It's simply important to ensure site-wide quality of images, as they make up a big portion of articles; that's why some of your images were deleted. It seems like you're getting the hang of it, as far as sourcing goes as well as the actual formatting of the screenshot, so please keep up the good work. Thank you for your contributions thus far, and don't hesitate to contact me if any conflicts arise. :)  CC7567  (talk) 07:51, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, I do feel as though I am getting way better at most aspects of editing. Thank you for not taking my comments personally. It feels good to know that people are thankful for any additions and edits that I make on here. I will be sure to contact you if I need any assistance in the future. I have made some good acquaintances on here who have helped me out a lot. Matt Seay (talk) 07:55, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Aayla.jpg
We already have a File:Aayla.jpg and your recent upload had overwritten it. I reverted it and am now removing the old revisions. Please be mindful of your file names, as they may be duplicates of files we already have. Thanks.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 09:43, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * I should have thought about that. Of course there would have been an image simply called Aayla.jpg, why did I not name it something else. As long as it is fixed now its okay. Matt Seay (talk) 09:46, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Images
Matt, please do not continue to upload poor quality images, as well as uploading them improperly sourced. Continuing to do so could result in a block by an administrator. Thanks,  JangFett  (Talk) 14:40, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * I have been told that my recent Images have been of good quality and properly sourced. I know the first few I ever uploaded were terrible, but my recent ones I have been complemented on. "It seems like you're getting the hang of it, as far as sourcing goes as well as the actual formatting of the screenshot, so please keep up the good work. Thank you for your contributions thus far, and don't hesitate to contact me if any conflicts arise. :)" Quote- CC7567 this user said this in a previous comment. Matt Seay (talk) 14:44, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * They were not sourced correctly when you uploaded them. Take a look at this. Remember what I have told you to not rely on others to fix your mistakes? I would double check your other images to see as well. As for the poor quality, there was a shot that was completely dark on my screen and not in its correct resolution. That image was also shoved into an article that did not need anymore images since it was a stub-like article.  JangFett  (Talk) 14:48, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Excuse me for not knowing that. Look, I am trying my best. And the one image you spoke of that was dark was it in the Ziro's holding cell]] article? I will know now how to "properly" source clone wars images. All my other images work fine for me when I go to view them on the articles. As for quality, I am capturing from DVDs so, if you would like me to do any better, give me a PC that can play blu-rays and I will help you there (sarcasm), I am not trying to be rude. I know you hate telling me these things. Like I have said before, I am doing my best and when I am told I am doing a great job, I keep doing it the way I have been. Matt Seay (talk) 14:53, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Matt, there should be no excuse for you to say that you did not know when I told you to look at other images for help. Sourcing should have clicked to you when you saw the correct copyright template, links for the description box, source and categories. There was even a discussion about not shoving images into articles that did not need them. Yes, you are doing a good job, but do not believe that you could continue to do half-ass work and get away with it. I hope this all makes sense,  JangFett  (Talk) 14:59, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Okay, okay, okay. I get it, you don't like my images, I will try to be like you, the great JangFett (sarcasm). I get it. I got carried away. At least you still used my picture of Ahsoka and Barris. Okay, I will apologize if I have sounded harsh or anything. I guess like I said, I must have just gotten carried away. I will in the future source the images the way they ought to be sourced. Its the quality thing I am confused about, one person tells me they are great quality and then someone else tells me they suck. Matt Seay (talk) 15:05, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Matt, did I say that I hated your images? :P If so, I would not even bother to help you solve the issues that are currently present in some of your uploaded work. I want you to do a better job with the sourcing. If you think you have the quality of the images down, then you could continue to upload them as is. But please be sure to check the sourcing, which is what normally causes the death of an image if the image quality is passable. It's very important.  JangFett  (Talk) 15:09, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * I know, you did not say you hated them, I was being sarcastic. I do that, some people can not handle my sarcasm. Like I said, I will strive to source correctly. You see, the next image I upload, whenever that is, It will be sourced properly. I know I have said this over and over, I only wish to help out this site and put in the best work I can. I am glad so many people have offered to help me with so many things. Please do not think that I do not appreciate your help, cuz I do. Matt Seay (talk) 15:14, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well, it is hard to identify sarcasm over the internet. I thought you were being sarcastic to calling me great. :P As for what you said regarding the images, I understand where you are coming from, though. I could tell that you have good ambition to help the wiki in a positive way, but in order to avoid these discussions, you need to understand the site's policies thoroughly and know what is to be expected.  JangFett  (Talk) 15:34, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I know, well, I hope we don't have any more incidents like this. Matt Seay (talk) 15:35, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Images on FAs
Matt, please note that one of the reasons that your images have been removed from articles is that you're adding them to status articles, namely Featured Articles. All of these articles already went through reviewing by the community and the Inq review board to ensure their quality, and they are therefore not expected to change much after approval unless due to updating. In fact, some objections were to remove images so that the articles don't get too crowded. This is why there is a notice while editing FAs to consult with the article's nominator before making any changes, as it is usually up to the nominator to manage the article after it passes the approval process. Please make sure to do this in the future&mdash;it's always best to post on the article's talk page or directly consult a nominator before changing an FA beyond minor spelling/grammatical corrections. Thank you.  CC7567  (talk) 20:33, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Sorry, sorry, sorry, simple mistake. My bad. I thought I had some good pictures to add. Nevertheless, I did not pay attention. This will never happen again. Matt Seay (talk) 21:34, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * No worries. Some nominators will appreciate having more images, but in the end it's usually the nominator's decision.  CC7567  (talk) 21:37, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Cool, I am glad the image I added of Anakin in the battle of Ryloth in his article got to stay, that is a really good pic. Matt Seay (talk) 22:44, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Talkpages
Hey Matt, just a tip when creating talk pages if it doesn't have anything on it, it needs more than just a talkheader to warrant the creation of the page. DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 22:35, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Like what exactly? A topic? Matt Seay (talk) 22:36, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not exatcly say the talk page you created was in the comics, or the game Kotor you'd use WKOTORtalk, for stuff in the old republic books, comics, game you'd use WPTORtalk, for the clone wars tv series and so on WTCWtalk, for star wars galaxies WPSWGtalk, and for legacy WLtalk.

Got ya, I know now. Thanks. I did one correctly, yay.....lol Matt Seay (talk) 22:43, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * No prob. DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 22:45, August 15, 2012 (UTC)

Yorr
Are you nominating Yorr to be a featured article? DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 23:51, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yes, I did some editing to it and think it turned out pretty good. I am not sure about it being featured maybe good. Is there something wrong? Matt Seay (talk) 23:52, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * It's no where near big enough to be a Featured Article. Look at this. DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 23:54, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * You might want go go for Comprehensive article. DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 23:56, August 15, 2012 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I figured. I want to get at least one Comprehensive article or good article. Right now I am working on references. Matt Seay (talk) 23:58, August 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thats good to hear. Just make sure it meets the requirements for the nomination, and when they leave comments be sure to fix what they suggest in a reasonable time limit. DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 00:01, August 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Got ya, guess I need to change the nomination to Comprehensive huh? Matt Seay (talk) 00:02, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Unless you can make it around a 1,000 word article before someone removes it, it would be a good idea. Keep in mind that its needs to be under 250 words if you decided to expand during the nomination. DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 00:06, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

If you need any advice feel free to drop me a line and I'll help with what I can. Don't forget to archive that it was nominated for FAN before you nominate it for CAN. DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 00:27, August 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * How do I do that? Matt Seay (talk) 00:29, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Don't need to anymore already been taken care of for ya by User:Menkooroo. DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 00:32, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Took care of skin color and eye color for ya, Don't forget to strike it off on the nomination page. DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 01:09, August 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Having a little trouble, it wants to strike out everything. I only need to strike out the fixes that I have made so far. Can you help? Matt Seay (talk) 01:16, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure what all did you take care of so I know what to strike out for you. Be sure to add a note underneath it yourself saying taken care of though, after I strike it out. DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 01:18, August 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Took source off intro, changed name of Imperial Career, and you took care of skin color and eye color, so mark those off and I will see what is left. Matt Seay (talk) 01:20, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think I should note here that you should never strike someone else's objections. Leave a note that you took care of them, and they'll then strike their objections. Menkooroo (talk) 01:21, August 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks for the heads up. Matt Seay (talk) 01:24, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Yorr
Hey Matt,

If you'd like to nominate Yorr on the CAN page, whatcha gotta do is take the code below the line that says "DO NOT WRITE BELOW THIS LINE," copy it, and paste it above the line.

Do you want me to remove Yorr from the FAN page, then, if you're going to nominate it on the CAN page? Let me know. Menkooroo (talk) 00:22, August 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * yeah sure go ahead, it would be more likely for this to reach Comprehensive article status than Featured. Matt Seay (talk) 00:24, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
 * Done. Make sure to add it to the CAN page by copying and pasting that code above the line (and changing "article name" to Yorr). Make sure not to edit below the line. Menkooroo (talk) 00:33, August 16, 2012 (UTC)


 * Okay, check if I did it right. I think I did what you said. Matt Seay (talk) 00:36, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
