X-wing Alliance articles
I hope you don't mind if I put up images for the articles you're working on. I can extract them and convert them to optimized PNG files pretty efficiently, but I can stop if you plan to put them up yourself. &mdash;Darth Culator  (talk)  20:31, 20 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I may have eventually added images to the articles, but feel free to upload some yourself. Glad to see someone else is interested in info from that great game! --JMM 20:34, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It's a great game up until the final mission... flying the Falcon in the Battle of Yavin's just not right :-P KEJ 20:36, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Hi there pal. Please let me know of the X-wing mission articles you have made so far. I have added the majority of ships appearing in the game (Freighter names etc) MoffRebus 06:29, 16 August 2006 (UTC)


 * I haven't made any articles based on the missions in X-Wing Alliance, only many of the characters and items from the game. I've added an article based on the original X-Wing game (Rescue at Mon Calamari). I'm not sure if I'll do more, but I did add some characters and ships. There may be more to come, though. --JMM 18:30, 17 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for helping out with the Battlefront names list: I was just asking for help in TFN's videogames forum when you started adding to the list! &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. All I had to do was quickly finish one mission, and just took screen grabs of the list of names at the end. I'll leave the list of Clone Troopers (Omega 324, etc.) to someone else. :) Those are all from BF2, by the way. --JMM 02:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, I'm deleting Brac Hollix per your findings. Thanks for checking! &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 15:07, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Great! I'm sort of taking it upon myself to clean up these fighter squadron and pilot pages. Something about them seems to attract fanon. --JMM 15:22, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Star Tours
Thanks. :) Adamwankenobi 21:36, 28 October 2006 (UTC)

Congrats!!!
Congrats on being published in WTS! I loved the link to Anwis Eddicus, and also to Palpy's listening devices... it's very Delta Source. You nailed it! --Azizlight 22:52, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I was really happy to see that appear there. And also happy to see how quickly it was added to the Wookieepedia. From the time stamp, I think it was on here before I even found out mine was chosen. --JMM 18:13, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Dash Rendar's Hoth screenshot
Please provide a source for the image you uploaded about Dash Rendar fighting on Hoth. - TopAce (Talk) 11:28, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * I forgot to add that info. It was an official shot from a website that I saved, but I can't seem to find the image again to confirm it. I'll have to do some more searching. --JMM 18:36, 24 August 2007 (UTC)

Ace's portrait
Hi... I really wonder how did you make up the portraits of Ace Azzameen for his article. MoffRebus 12:22, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I only added one of those pictures. The one of Ace in his Rebel gear wasn't me. There are points in the game when you're sitting in the hangar bay before taking off for a mission. When you're there, you move the "camera" around and get different angles and views. One view let's you zoom in pretty close, and when you do that, you can see Ace sitting there. That's where I got the screen grab from. You may be able to do this during missions, too. The only problem is those pictures are kind of weird and creepy looking. :) Maybe some day we'll get a proper portrait of him. --JMM 12:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)

Star Wars Finest
Hey, I was looking at Pellaeon, and you uploaded an image called Pellaeon_Finest but didn't give a source. Another image of Jaina you uploaded called Jaina_Finest you sourced as from "Star Wars Finest" but Wookieepedia doesn't have an article on that. Could you confirm exactly what that source is and maybe create an article on it? They're good images and I'd hate to lose them. Thanks. Havac 03:32, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Star Wars Finest was a card set put out by Topps in the '90s. I did notice there was no article for it. I may add one in the future. --JMM 12:08, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks. Havac 17:39, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

A Guide to the Star Wars Universe (third edition)
Hey JMM, I was going to help with the article mentioned above but it is being revised. Can I help?-- Darth Skirata   ( Talk ) 17:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * While I was the last one to work on the article, I didn't put the "under revision" tag on there. I think it was Darth Culator who added it. --JMM 20:32, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll ask him.--  Darth Skirata  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk ) 01:07, 6 January 2008 (UTC)

Weird request
Hey JMM, this might sound like an odd question, but do you wouldn't happen to have any of the old issues of that SWFA "magazine" would you? I was searching through the old versions of the SWFA site on sw-rpg.net, and saw that around 4 issues were made. Was there an earlier incarnation of the site on a different server? I know that some of the fiction and articles are on the current site, but is there some sort of text version of the early issues? I thought the TC discussion on Thrawn's rank, and the Rogues list were fairly intriguing, and I thought it might be interesting to see the earliest incarnation of it. Cull Tremayne 01:55, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Pretty much everything from the original versions of the site are on the new one. There may have been a few revisions here and there, but most things are intact. There are a handful of things that members had taken off the site, and usually had some good reasons to do so. But really, most everything is there now. --JMM 22:34, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Award
Hey, JMM. I just wanted to say good job and thanks for your hard work over the last few months with regards to the expansion that you've done on topics originating from the Marvel Star Wars UK line of comics. Keep it up. Cheers, Greyman  @wikiajanitor ( Talk ) 17:28, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Congrats JMM!! Purplegethos 17:32, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the poster info
Thanks for finishing the "Official Poster Monthly" articles! &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 21:14, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

GG3 image
Hey, JMM. While you're on a GG3 image uploading kick, can you grab the image of Chreeto the Defiant in the second edition's Freedom No More section? Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:47, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * OK. There you go. I added a quote to the page, too. --JMM 17:02, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:09, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, wanted to thank you for all your help and contributions to my favorite project, the Marvel index;) There are so many comics, and I haven't even finished indexing the first two volumes, so I really appreciate you hleping "from the other end" of things (ie, the latter volumes) especially! cheersJustinGann 16:34, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Have to make sure the Marvels get some respect!--JMM 16:37, 21 November 2008 (UTC)

SWFA's official friendship with Wookieepedia
Hey, JMM. I'm told that the Star Wars Fanboy Association is part of your webspace. Currently, the SWFA is listed and linked to under Wookieepedia's official friends box on the main page, but the SWFA does not link back to Wookieepedia in return. As a result, some users have discussed removing SWFA from Wook's official friends here. Personally I think the friendship would be good to maintain. Would it be possible for you to add Wookieepedia to the SWFA's "Friends & Affiliates" section, or to raise the issue with other members of the site? That would appease those looking to end the friendship. Cheers, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 17:02, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm surprised none of us thought of that! A Wookieepedia link will appear on our site soon. --JMM 18:16, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Great! Cheers. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 18:17, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Venka
Hey JMM. I saw that you added the Shadows of the Empire Sourcebook to the Source list of the Venka article, but I can't seem to find any mention of him in there. I was hoping you could direct me to this information. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 21:24, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Looking back, I believe Kallic is mentioned in the Shadows sourcebook. That's why that source is listed. --JMM 01:52, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * All right, thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 01:57, 26 May 2009 (UTC)

Narra
That's what I was looking for with Narra - thanks. I wanted to leave the transparency on the image, but the purple background looked terrible. Fortunately I was foresighted enough to stop after one image and wait for someone else's take on it, so now I'll keep at it. - Brynn Alastayr 20:19, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Outer Rim sector images
I would like to thank you for uploading all those individual sector images from the recently released Outer Rim sector map. It's really mind blowing isn't it? --  Riffsyphon  1024 01:17, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * It'd be nice of we get more of the same for the other regions.--JMM 01:24, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

Stubs
When creating new stub articles, please do not forget to provide them with both eras template and a respective stub template. Thank you.  Mauser  Comlink 14:15, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Please also note, that you should not put articles in any of the stub categories manually. Instead, you should add it to the general category ("Star Wars Authors" instead of "Author srtubs") and provide a prober stub template author-stub, that will automatically add the stub category. Thank you.  Mauser  Comlink 19:58, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * One more thing: categories Category:Artists and Category:Authors are reserved for fictional In-universe characters. For real world people use Category:Star Wars artists and Category:Star Wars authors instead. Also, please remember to add to the top of each out-of-universe article.  Mauser  Comlink  16:12, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Whoops. I didn't even consider the difference. I imagine that mistake shows up on articles all over the site! --JMM 16:18, October 22, 2009 (UTC)

Talk messages
Please make sure to archive your old talk messages, rather than just removing them, so they may be kept as part of the public record. Toprawa and Ralltiir 16:40, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Either you can't read or you choose not to. So I'll ask again and I'll repeat the same "heads up" we afford every user in your situation. Please do not just remove old talk messages from your talk page, especially messages that involve warnings, such as this one. They should be archived as part of the public record. If you need help archiving, look no further. This is pretty basic stuff, so I expect to see you take care of this. Thank you for your cooperation. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:39, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, this time it wasn't me. Some vandal thought it was funny to remove everything off of this page. Another user was kind enough to revert that edit before I had a chance to. --JMM 18:42, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I'm referring to the edits you made originally to remove talk messages prompting me to notify you about this in the first place, which you still have made no effort to replace. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:51, December 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh! OK. Sorry, I didn't realize I should have been trying to retrieve the old ones. --JMM 18:58, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Appearances
Please make sure you add an "Appearances" or "Sources" section to each new article you create. Otherwise they will be deleted. Toprawa and Ralltiir 20:22, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

Yoda Stories
According to this article, scenarios in Yoda Stories are generated randomly. The articles Cebann Veekan and Myhr Rho support this and indicate that the charatcers from the game are the characters from Holiday Special, not their lookalikes. Please update and redirect the articles you create accordingly.  Mauser  Comlink 17:18, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Some characters in the game do appear randomly, but others appear multiple times on certain planets. I was thinking that at least some of these characters can be created, then marked as ambiguous -- though I admit I forgot to add those tags. But that's a separate issue... in any case, though the two Wookieepedia articles may suggest those are the same characters, there's no official source saying that they are. And considering the many identical alien characters out there (how many guys in the same Greedo outfit do we have out there?), I wouldn't think we should consider these the same characters simply based on common appearance. --JMM 17:55, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * But multiple appearances are not a problem, since it's all non-canon anyway.  Mauser  Comlink 18:06, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * I guess the randomly generated characters should maybe be skipped. But I'd suggest that any characters who are in the same place at the same time in the game, always, could deserve their own entry. Certain characters are in the same cantina or some trading post every time. --JMM 18:14, November 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * That is okay, but they should be included in the articles for Holiday Special characters anyway.  Mauser  Comlink 18:22, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

RE: Thanks
No problems. Little vandal account problem that was easily dealt with :) Makes me wonder why they even try sometimes. - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 18:40, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Right. And honestly, the comments on my talk page aren't the most vital of information, anyway! :) --JMM 18:43, November 30, 2009 (UTC)
