Felucia battles
This is a huge disappointment by LFL to do this. Out of all the planets in the galaxy, they have to go back to Geonosis and Felucia. 9_9 Anyway, I see that you moved Battle of Felucia to Second Battle of Felucia (Clone Wars). However, CC and I had this discussion months ago and we decided that we'd wait or else let someone else take care of the battle article. Do you mind if I move it back to its appropriate article until the name of the battle is actually confirmed? I know it might be a while, but NEC confirms that the original Felucia battle was called "Battle of Felucia" and the new one is conjectural. Replacing the original with a conjecture title isn't right, in my opinion. I'll wait until you respond man. :)  JangFett  (Talk) 02:11, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Go for it. I'll remake a Battle of Felucia (disambiguation) page to include all four known Felucia battles similar to how I have it now. :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 02:16, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Uh, you need to leave the CSD tag on it so that an admin will delete it so you can move Second Battle of Felucia (Clone Wars) can be moved back to it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 02:21, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * That's fine. I actually thought we can make the "Battle of Felucia" page the disambig and leave the Second.  JangFett  (Talk) 02:22, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, you're right I think. Since an official source (NEC) calls the one at the end of the Clone Wars "Battle of Felucia" until all the TCW continuity screwups are fixed, it should be moved back the way it was. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 02:24, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * All right. :) Sorry for the mix up with the tags.  JangFett  (Talk) 02:25, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * No worries. Consider it a learning experience. :) The way Grunny did it is always be how you want do it to preserve the page history. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 02:27, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * I actually noticed that. I wasn't going to leave it like that, but before I changed it back, Grunny spotted it and changed it back. :)  JangFett  (Talk) 02:34, September 27, 2009 (UTC)

SWG TCG
Hey, JMAS, could you please crop Arden Lyn's picture out of the rotating images here? It's better than the actual card version, but I cannot find the image in my cache.  Mauser  Comlink 07:49, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Cleaned it up as best I could. Here's the source image if you'd like to try yourself on it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:36, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks.  Mauser  Comlink 02:15, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Image categories
Sorry. I didn't see it in any policies, unless I missed something, so I had no idea. I'll remember that next time. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 04:13, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I don't know where you'll find it on any "official policy" page. I was directly told that information by both an admin and a long-time Wookieepedian some time ago and thought I should pass the info on. :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 04:20, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the heads up. =) - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 04:21, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Wooley
Is it possible to get a clearer version of the picture of Wooley in his infobox. Graestan don't like it and I need a clearer version to promote Woooley. -- Clone Commander Lee  Talk 16:58, September 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Not really, no. Every other shot I could take of him where he wouldn't be more blurry from movement has some sort of obstruction, an object, arm, or person blocking the view. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 17:01, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Sorry
That's fine; I luckily wasn't working on anything at the time.  CC7567  (talk) 05:08, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

LOE cover
Okay, why exactly would we need image of a cover that was never printed, when we have no evidence of it ever being official?  Mauser  Comlink 17:01, October 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * We have articles here on canceled projects, books/novels that were announced, release dates set, and then got canceled. To me, this falls in the same category. It was obviously a designed cover that never made it to production. It simply adds to the diversity of coverage to the cover gallery. In other words, it's not hurting anything to keep it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 17:07, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Image request
Hey JMAS, could you get me a good shot of Yularen from Cargo of Doom? I was thinking something like image six in the first slideshow on the episode guide, but with Anakin cropped out. Thanks in advance. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 13:43, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * For the time being, I can crop the image from the episode guide. But I don't know how long it will be before I can get access to the HD version of the episode. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:48, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * iTunes just posted both episodes; however, when I took a screenshot of Bane torturing Ahsoka, it came out slightly blurry and non-high quality like. I don't know where Mauser gotten his screenshot; possibly it was from the Ep guide.  JangFett  (Talk) 13:50, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, the Ep Guide images are very high quality, but not as big height by width-wise. I'm not willing to pay money for the episodes on iTunes frankly. But I have another source which will become available soon, usually with a couple days, sometimes as long as a week. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:53, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Anyhow, here's a a crop of the image from the Episode Guide. Once I get a HD source, I'll redo it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 15:04, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 15:05, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Always glad to help. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 15:15, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Devaron "Padawan"
Culator said you were the one who spotted my ridiculous and embarrassing mistake, I just wanted to say thanks!--Demos Traxen 19:09, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. Didn't want to embarrass you, but I have to say, it made me laugh. Honestly, I can understand how you made that mistaken assumption, especially if tired as you stated on Culator's talk page. I'm made some pretty ridiculous errors when trying to edit while barely awake myself. :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 19:22, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Infobox image
I think it might work a little better if the crop got in slightly more of the top of his head; he looks rather flatheaded in that screenshot. Other than that, I think it'll work fine; thanks for the suggestion.  CC7567  (talk) 23:40, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Right now, I guess that "Cargo of Doom" image is our best bet. The "Hostage Crisis" one you linked might work, but his glare makes him look like a psychopath. If you could crop the CoD image off just slightly above where his inner vest opens up, it should balance it out and lessen the flathead issue. Thanks for your help.  CC7567  (talk) 00:08, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm...actually, would it be okay to get a crop for this image? It doesn't have him facing directly at the "camera", but it's a broader image and shows slightly more expression.  CC7567  (talk) 00:33, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think the second image works better, but thank you for your input.  CC7567  (talk) 00:47, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * For now, it seems to work better. Thanks.  CC7567  (talk) 01:48, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

Ahsoka Infobox image
Hey, JMAS. I saw that you came up with a new Cad Bane infobox image. I was thinking of replacing the Ahsoka infobox image as well. Instead of that HS promotional shot, perhaps a screenshot of her face from either late into season one, or possibly from Holocron Heist or Cargo of Doom. What do you think? :)  JangFett  (Talk) 23:42, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I'd disagree in the case of Ahsoka. Because she's got the Montrals and head-tails, I wouldn't recommend going in any closer on hers. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:59, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Always a good time to experiment with her images, though. :) While I won't place the new infobox image in the current Ahsoka article, I will place it in my Ahsoka workbench for now. See how it works out, and if it doesn't work, I'll go back to the old HS infobox image. :)  JangFett  (Talk) 00:04, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Alrightythen. I'll scout around for one for ya and post it here. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 00:09, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm just trying something new, JMAS. :) Thank you, man. If you like, we can discuss about it in #wookieepedia, instead of me spamming your talk page. :P  JangFett  (Talk) 00:12, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * That CoD one looks good, JMAS. I'll try that one out man.  JangFett  (Talk) 00:43, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Not bad. Perhaps her standing up straight would work a bit better than her bending her back down. What do you think?  JangFett  (Talk) 23:54, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * If you mean from that same scene, not possible. That would have to precede this shot and I can't get any shot where her mouth isn't open saying something. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 01:09, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, sorry, not the same scene. However, I do like the newest one you uploaded. :) Thank you so much, JMAS.  JangFett  (Talk) 19:57, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Re: TCW VG Ultimate Battles
Nothing besides the distinction that it was the crystal that held the information, not the holocron, and that Bane captured Ropal "to use the holocron to unlock the crystal." Good luck clearing that up; the episode guides don't appear to be very consistent.  CC7567  (talk) 02:28, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * "Memory crystal" only, hence how I formatted it in the article's sources.  CC7567  (talk) 03:53, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * I suppose it's fine, but please keep in mind that that source was published before anything else.  CC7567  (talk) 04:05, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

Bolla Ropal
Hey JMAS, could I get an image of Bolla Ropal being dragged onto Bane's shuttle as seen in the intro to "Cargo of Doom"? Many thanks in advanced. Darth Trayus  ( Trayus Academy ) 03:11, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll get that for you tomorrow. Would you also like one of him laying dead when Ahsoka found him? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 04:10, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh yes that would be wonderful. I may or may not use it due to the size of the article, but it'll be nice to have in case. Darth Trayus  Sith_Emblem.svg ( Trayus Academy ) 05:07, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much. The one of him being dragged through the ship will be fine for now, but if you could upload the one on Devaron when you can obtain it, that would be greatly appreciated. I've also replaced the comic image as you requested. Darth Trayus  Sith_Emblem.svg ( Trayus Academy ) 06:26, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Denal
Hey, JMAS. Would you be able to provide a couple of images of Denal from "Cargo of Doom?" I was thinking about the one where he confronts Cad Bane (preferably with both Bane and Denal shown), and maybe another one where he uses that magnetic harpoon thingy. Oh, and sound files for the quotes would be nice too ) Thanks. QuiGonJinn  (Talk) 05:32, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * I decided to stick to the one where Bane's hands are raised; it makes Denal look badass :P QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 15:45, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 16:03, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Uploading ogg files
JMAS, I know you upload many TCW sound files so I was wondering if you could help me. I'm trying to upload audio for KotOR I & II but the first few words got cut off (File:903903SION119.ogg) after uploading. I'm doing the standard process for converting it to ogg: decompress the game's wav files (they're called wav but seem to be mp3) to mp3 with Miles then convert it with oggDrop at 64kb/s to an ogg. When I play back the ogg it sounds fine and with nothing cut out but when I upload it here it then has the start cut off. Do you know of any reason for it doing this? Thanks, Nayayen (talk) 21:47, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I use a different process personally. I use FormatFactory to directly take WMA audio from the video files. Then I use Windows Movie Maker to trim the files down to just what I need and then FormatFactory again to covert to OGG. But as to it seeming as though part is cut off when you upload it, I've experienced the same thing. I don't think the file has actually been cut off during upload. I more think it's a browser issue, the ogg file starts playing and it's a second or two into the file before the in-browser default player actually starts the sound. The reason I'm fairly certain of this is that I've downloaded the uploaded file I thought was no good back to the hard drive and it plays fine. That make sense? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:27, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Though regarding that file you linked to, I think it might be a corrupted file. I downloaded it and I can't get it to play in Win Media Player, RealPlayer, VLC Media Player or Nero Media Player. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:31, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hmm, very odd. I can listen to it fine on VLC, Miles, RealPlayer and KMP (which can play pretty much anything) but not WMP. Oddly, if I play the wav I converted it from in WMP it sounds awful (well, it actually sounds quite cool) as if it was too loud. Even odder is the fact that it sounds fine again in VLC, KMP and Miles. I'll try FormatFactory and see if that works. I'm fairly sure it isn't a browser issue because I use Firefox and it can play this fine, for example. Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]](talk) 12:38, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I tried FormatFactory and it doesn't seem to be different. The problem is that the wav files are not recognized as proper wavs and VLC and KMP play static whilst WMP & Realplayer don't do anything. If I go to Miles Sound Studio and then to  it says that it is an MP3. So, rename the wav to an MP3 and decompress it with Miles to get a wav that Miles, VLC, Realplayer & KMP can play with no problems. I can play this wav in WMP as well, but then it has the same issue of sounding as if it was too loud (if that makes sense). Convert this wav (which FF can play fine in the preview) to an ogg with FF. Now, this ogg sounds fine in Miles and KMP but in VLC, playback starts at the same point that the version on here does and sounds fine. If I pause it during play and then drag the slider to 0 (ie. the proper start) it will play as it should (and does in Miles & KMP). That is everything step-by-step, I don't know if I've done something wrong or what. If you want, I can email you the original wav (from the game files) and you can try yourself.  Nayayen [[Image:Old Republic military symbol.png|18px]](talk) 13:43, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

The CW project keeps rolling on
Heya JMAS, I wanted to ask about the images of the CW series. Im working now on the article Unidentified IG-86 sentinel droid 1, and I need few images for it. So, could you upload them, please? I need an image which show Bane, Alama and the droids on the speeder, flying to the senate. Ya can see it during the newsreel. Then, I need and image of the destroyed droid, from Alama's view when he is on the stairs. And the last one, the droid using his electric torch while searching of Skywalker. Thank you for this, and all the help you have earlier give.--Kreivi Wolter 16:39, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * You've got it. I'll get them and post them here. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:41, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much.--Kreivi Wolter 16:44, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Here you go. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 17:21, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Can't thank you enough. You get so many Wookie-ookies that I wanted to give you something different.--Kreivi Wolter 18:12, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Cad Bane
Thanks. Once I get the article updated, I'll see if I can implement it.  CC7567  (talk) 04:25, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll have to see if it will fit. It's rather a stretch to pack that many images in with a disproportionate section.  CC7567  (talk) 02:53, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Mission to Naboo
Thanks, JMAS. I'll fix that. :) Also, this episode wasn't that impressive. It's on iTunes right now, but not in perfect quality.  JangFett  (Talk) 18:15, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm not willing to pay for each episode or even prepay for the entire season in iTunes. LOL I'll wait for my other sources to come through. Does the iTunes version present the widescreen format without the Cartoon Network logo or the retarded US full-screen format with the blasted CN logo? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 18:19, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, the iTunes version doesn't have that stupid CN logo in the bottom, right-hand corner. It's also in wide screen format, although not in HD. My Season One episodes do contain them, and they're in HD. I don't like to pay for each episode; however, I'm not willing to wait until March 2010 to download them from my source. ;)  JangFett  (Talk) 18:22, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds great! I'll use these; thanks, JMAS. :)  JangFett  (Talk) 20:28, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes; that will be fine, JMAS.  JangFett  (Talk) 02:36, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Poor Koho. :(
(heh) Hey JMAS, could you find a good image of Koho? He is currently missing a infobox image, and I'm preparing to send him to the GAN page.  JangFett  (Talk) 16:09, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Done and added to the article. It's the best I could do with having to crop out the dang CN logo. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:27, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Another TCW request
Hey, JMAS, could you please get me an infoboxish image of Bly from either Defenders of Peace or Jedi Crash. I'm not sure if it will look better in infobox that Duursema's art, but with an expansion underway, I will sure find a place for it in the article. Thank you.  Mauser  Comlink 19:56, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Here ya go. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:27, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * The current infobox image seems like a better fit for the article, however.  JangFett  (Talk) 23:29, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm assuming this is regarding the Bly and not Koho? If so, I'm leaving that to Mauser's judgement. I'm just fulfilling a request. :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:34, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

TCW...RH
Hey JMAS, I was wondering if you're able to get Republic Heroes images yet... if so, I'd like to trouble you for a really nice image of Reslin. Perhaps one with Anakin and Bane in it. Let me know if this is possible, and thank you. Darth Trayus  ( Trayus Academy ) 05:45, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I don't own the game. And given the horrible reviews it's gotten, I likely won't. Mauser or QuiGonJinn I believe have the game and should be able to assist you on this one. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 05:56, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. And I agree with you completely on that decision. Thanks for the redirect. Darth Trayus  Sith_Emblem.svg ( Trayus Academy ) 02:21, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Xanadu Blood
Thanks again, JMAS. :) I will be expanding that article within a few days.  JangFett  (Talk) 20:45, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

Scans
Hi there. I saw that you, among others, uses some technique to remove the print dots (or halftones, or artifacts, whatever it's named) from scanned images. Is that a Photoshop plugin or something?... Klow 10:20, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Not a plugin. I usea combination of effects like small amounts of smart blur and sometimes a light despeckle. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 12:11, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Thanks, I'll experiment that. Klow 12:43, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Allies cover
Hey JMAS, would you mind cropping an image of Gavar Khai off of the cover of Allies? Thanks. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Jedi Beacon ) 00:37, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, seems someone's already done it :P. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Jedi Beacon ) 00:40, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Tucker
Could you add Tucker's quote to the article. He only says something at the beginning of the episode. -- Clone Commander Lee  Talk 17:59, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 19:00, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Sound files and quote sourcing
Hey. When you upload OGG files and use a quote or dialogue template for the description field, please source the quote in the quote template as I've done. I realize you are providing the source in the appropriate field of the Information template, but not defining the source in the quote or dialogue template causes the page to be placed in Category:Unsourced quotes, which is currently filled with hundreds of sound files. I'm in the process of sourcing some of them to get them out of that category, but if you could make sure you do this with future uploads, it would be appreciated. Thanks. &mdash;Master Jonathan(Jedi Council Chambers) 01:58, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure thing. Sorry about that. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 03:13, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Re:Quote correction
Thanks, JMAS. It's sort of hard to understand Bane sometimes. :P  JangFett  (Talk) 11:12, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Ion pulse cannon
Hey JMAS, are you seeing that image as not updating in the article Ion pulse cannon? Because it seems to have cached fine there, and the thumbnail on the file page should fix itself soon enough, so are you sure it needs to be moved? Cheers,  Grunny  ( Talk ) 15:30, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Eh, nevermind I've moved it anyway :P.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 15:35, October 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * I've logged out, cleared my browser cache and logged back in and the upload record thumbnail on the file page and image in the infobox on the pulse cannon page still show the old revision scrunched to the new image size. But I am on an older Win2000 machine at work. I was gonna recommend holding off until I can try a different newer computer at home, but thanks for taking care of it. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 15:41, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Also, I'd like to say that it's appreciated how "on top" of things you are regarding regular day-to-day administrator tasks like File or Page moves, or CSD deletions, etc. It might normally go overlooked, but it's not. And it is appreciated. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 15:41, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Re:T-6 shuttle
Frankly, I'm not really a big fan of that image; when it comes to ships, I prefer images of the craft itself rather than interior shots. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 13:00, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
