Abeloth and Force Psychosis
Please refrain from adding speculation to articles, even in the Behind the Scenes section. Make sure that everything is attributable. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 21:34, August 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * Once again, please make sure everything is attributable when you edit articles. This is not. Just because we know Abeloth lived there at a certain point of time does not necessarily mean it was definitely her homeworld. We don't know enough yet to be sure. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 19:41, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * All right.--ID-21 Dolphin 19:45, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Mara Ghost image
Please note that the image you just uploaded already exists. Please make sure you do not upload duplicate images in the future. Thank you. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 21:59, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also please note that Mara's spirit is not a confirmed Force ghost, and thus does not belong in the Force ghost article. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 22:00, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * To clarify, I mean the spirit as she appeared to Luke and Ben while they were beyond shadows; there is no indication as to whether this was actually a Force ghost, or some other kind of manifestation. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 22:05, August 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clarifying. I'm still confused with all of this "beyond shadows" and "mind walking" stuff, but all right.--ID-21 Dolphin 22:55, August 28, 2010 (UTC)

Callista Ming
Hey there. I just wanted to let you know that since Callista Ming is a featured article, all information added to her article needs to have a valid source. If you could source the Celebration V info, that would be great. Otherwise, it will have to be removed. Thanks. Cylka  -talk- 02:12, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I actaully only added the quote, not the info. According to the page's history, User:Princess Leia Organa Skywalker Solo added it. Though I would be glad to find a source for the info if necessary.--ID-21 Dolphin 12:10, September 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry for the mistake. However, it would be great if you could find a source for it, if you have the time. Thanks. Cylka  -talk- 04:29, September 10, 2010 (UTC)

X1
Are you planning to keep working on X1? If you don't have such plans, then I would like to take over his article. QuiGonJinn (Talk) 18:04, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I'm only working on Battle of Endor now. If you could work on his article, that would be great, actually.--ID-21 Dolphin 20:08, September 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I appreciate your concern, but I would prefer to keep the current main image since it is a decent quality close-up showing all of his face, not just one side of it. Believe me, you will not find better images of X1. I've spent hours trying to capture a nice screenshot, and File:X1 close-up.jpg was the best I could come up with. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 11:45, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * It may be poorly cropped, but it's still more realistic and&hellip;cinematic, if you will. It is a matter of preference, but I believe that the fiery background suits his Sith personality better than the stars on the other pic. I also prefer to have en face images for the infobox if possible, that's just my way of doing things. If people will object to this on the FAN page, I'll swap the images around, but for now, I'd like to keep the current pic. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 19:12, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you really want, I can find you a new version of the Mustafar image, with better cropping.-- ID-21 Dolphin  Jedi Order.svg(Talk) 19:14, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, all I can tell is good luck. I tried to capture the screenshot myself, but the scenes cut too quickly between X1 and X2 during the final cutscene. You need to have Jedi reflexes to capture an image of X1 with him looking at the camera. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 19:23, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Still, the picture of him with the stars has him looking sort of to the camera, and the background is less distracting. Maybe you can try using that one in the infobox and see how it looks.-- ID-21 Dolphin  Jedi Order.svg(Talk) 19:25, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I tried it in the preview mode, and I didn't like it. It's too small in its original size, and too pixelated if enlarged. Listen, if you could find a better Mustafar image, that would be awesome. If not, I'll just ask other users on the FAN which picture they like better and choose the one accordingly. Is that OK with you? QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 19:41, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll look for one.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 19:52, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Check out what I've managed to capture! What do you think about the new image? :) QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 17:11, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Problem is, it's too wide, you know? Do you think you would mind putting the Mustafar image I captured, or cropping the image to make it portrait-shaped? My image is essentially the same as yours but in a shape that better suits an infobox. Thanks.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 21:28, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * This is getting ridiculous. Your image was, quite frankly, too small and not sharp, and it looked ugly when you blew it to 250px. You see, the whole point is to see X1's face clearly, not to see every pixel in the picture. I think the new image is perfect for the infobox, and I'm not going to crop it. I apologize for being rude, but if you don't like it, that's your problem. I'm not going to debate this any further. Thank you. QuiGonJinn  Senate seal.svg(Talk) 15:42, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * This can be debated again after it's nominated for an FA. You can leave it until then.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 20:28, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Resolution
Hey man,

There's no preferred resolution for the Wook --- as far as I know, it attempts to be user-friendly to everyone. My home computer is 1280 x 800, and the infobox goes halfway down "The Space Battle", much like Xd's. There's no need to change your own resolution, but just keep in mind that a lot of people have lower ones. The image alignment for the article should probably take that into account. Menkooroo 03:55, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, just wanted to bring to your attention that you supported the Darth Havok FA Nom but forgot to strike your objection. A nom can't pass if there are objections left unstruck; could you take care of that? Cheers. Menkooroo 03:57, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Objection struck. For the resolution, since I haven't been able to change it without making my screen look hideous, I'm not sure what I can do, because if images are aligned to the right while the infobox is still there, they fall below the infobox, which gets them completely out of order. That's actually a problem on some of the short articles with very long infoboxes, such as planets.--ID-21 Dolphin 12:29, September 11, 2010 (UTC)

Vestara Khai
Hey, please refrain from editing articles with the inuse tag on them as a courtesy to the user who is working on the article, so that edit conflicts can be avoided. Thank you. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 20:44, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Didn't even notice the inuse tag, sorry! Good idea for a FAN, though, I encourage you to continue your work.--ID-21 Dolphin 20:47, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem; and I don't plan on taking it to the FAN quite yet&mdash;what with four more novels sure to include her as a major character yet to come out, it wouldn't really fit Rule 5, and would basically have to be re-reviewed by the Inq after each novel. But I at least plan on making it so that what we do have so far is as clean as possible. Anyway, thanks for the encouragement. :) Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 20:58, September 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * All right, but just one thing: do you plan on changing the lead quote? I personally LOVE the current one.--ID-21 Dolphin 11:23, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do plan on keeping the current one; I think it works well, too. :) And since you mentioned/suggested it, I've actually been considering taking Vestara to FA as soon as FotJ is done; she's been interesting to write so far. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 13:58, September 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I really love that quote. The series ends in November '11, so you could pass it about two months after that.--ID-21 Dolphin 20:28, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

TCW canon
Please know that due to the unestablished Clone Wars timeline, we don't know when TCW episodes take place. I would appreciate it if you do not move Third Battle of Kamino back to the Second Battle of Kamino, because there is already one. Anything like that would be deemed speculation without confirmation by an official source. Thank you for your cooperation,  JangFett  (Talk) 17:10, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * All right. But just remember, the first episodes take place in 22 BBY, so Season 3 takes place no later than 21 BBY. Though I agree, as much as the series is great, it completely contradicts previously established canon.--ID-21 Dolphin 18:13, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Besides the film, we do not know when the episodes take place.  JangFett  (Talk) 19:13, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Any idea when LFL is going to release a timeline, by the way?--ID-21 Dolphin 19:20, September 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Most likely after TCW is over.  JangFett  (Talk) 18:35, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Do you know if they plan on making a Season 4 or no?-- ID-21 Dolphin  Jedi Order.svg(Talk) 18:41, September 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * If I may butt in here, I'm pretty sure Filioni said in one of the commentaries they were going to try for five seasons. Regardless, it will take a while. Assuming they release one at all. I know. TCW is hell for all of us.--''' Bonslywizard Trade Federation Symbol.jpg( Send a transmission ) 22:13, September 19, 2010 (UTC)

FAN images
Hey there. I just wanted to let you know that if you want to make any major changes to an article undergoing the FAN or GAN process, it would be better to either leave a message on the article's talk page or in the comments section on the article's FAN/GAN page. Thanks. Cylka  -talk- 00:44, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * On Freedon Nadd, right? Sorry.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 01:06, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * It's not a problem. Sometimes people who have already voted are uncomfortable with an article having major changes since they voted on a previous version. This is the same reason that any major changes to FA/GAs are usually reverted if no prior discussion has taken place. Cylka  -talk- 02:26, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

FAN
Hey, when supporting an article on the FAN, please remember to add your vote to the vote count. Thanks. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 02:06, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry, which article?-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 02:20, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Every time you vote for an article, make sure you adjust the vote count to reflect your vote, as I have done for you here and here. Jonjedigrandmaster  ( Talk ) 02:24, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Aah, I get it now. I'll adjust it on my other votes. By the way, check out the Battle of Endor's nom; any feedback would greatly help me!-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 11:23, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Malak
Thanks for supporting the nom, as a response to what you said, and I are actually working on Revan here.&mdash;  02:57, September 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Good. Next step should be Luke Skywalker! I'd be glad to help you on Luke, since it would be very hard. -- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 11:24, September 20, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Battle of Endor
Hey, sorry about that. But, in case this happens again, one day is a little short, at least for me, to be reminding people of "forgotten objections". Please remember that I have my own projects and nominations to worry about. Never fear, though. I usually reply to objections within 2-3 days. Sincerely, ''' Bonslywizard ( Send a transmission ) 00:27, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem, I'm sometimes slow in removing objections also.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 00:49, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * To slowness! :P --''' Bonslywizard Trade Federation Symbol.jpg( Send a transmission ) 21:36, September 22, 2010 (UTC)

CSF
Please note that I have reverted your recent edit to CSF, because articles should not be linked in quote captions unless they do not appear anywhere else in the article. Since Raatu is mentioned in the article body, he does not get linked in the quote caption. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 00:27, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 00:31, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

CAN
Hi. Can you please check your objection to Folded ear boosqueak on WP:CAN. --Eyrezer 00:46, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, I crossed out the objection and added my vote.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 00:48, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Cognus
Hey Dolphin,

Thanks for adding that quote to Darth Cognus. I hate leaving sections without quotes, and that one fits perfectly. I just have one question for you: what page of Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force was that found on? I looked at the entry on the Prophets of the Dark Side, and didn't see it there. Perhaps I missed it? At any rate, thanks for your contribution. If there is ever any way I can assist you, don't hesitate to ask. —Tommy 9281 02:20, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Also, did you forget about me here? Thanks, —Tommy 9281 02:18, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Signature
Hey there. Just a friendly notice that your signature actually is in slight violation of Wookieepedia's signature policy, which states that the maximum allowed height of an image is 20 pixels. This corresponds to about 19 pixels width for your current image. Any more, and I think line spacing starts to mess up. SoresuMakashi ( Everything I tell you is a lie the truth  ) 09:52, September 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Just changed from 30 to 20px, thanks. You can see it in the comment to the right.-->-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 11:22, September 21, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Jaina Solo
Jaina Solo is a Featured Article. Any changes should first be discussed with the author, or brought up on the article's talk page. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 00:21, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

Help
Would you please consider helping me to promote the article Mandalorian Armor to Featured Status. Flyn Arc  00:57, September 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Left a comment on the nom page, but please do not post requests for votes on user talk pages.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 02:06, September 28, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Dark side
Hey Dolphin,

Thanks for the message. I originally placed that quote there, and it has remained that way for several reasons. The main one of those being that what it replaced was seriously lacking in context, which the current quote is actually full of. While it is long, it does give a much more in-depth explanation about the dark side and its users, as opposed to the (no offense) rather generic "you don't know the power of the dark side" quote. I have to disagree with it being described as "cumbersome," because, when fully read, supports the subject matter which it describes. Again, thank you for your civility, it is quite refreshing to be approached diplomatically about situations around here. If there is anything I can do to ever help you, don't hesitate to ask. —Tommy 9281 02:17, September 30, 2010 (UTC)

Images
Hey Dolphin, just letting you know that I reverted your edit to Darth Caedus because images should not be placed in the middle of a paragraph. Furthermore, Caedus is a Featured article, so any changes to the article should be first brought up with the article's writer or discussed on the article's talk page, as Grand Moff Tranner has already explained to you. Jonjedigrandmaster ( Talk ) 02:27, October 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * All right. Though for FAs, changes should only be discusses if they are major or actually change something about the article, no? This was just a slight shift, so I doubt that it would need to be discussed. Still, thanks, and enjoy your day of Wookieeing.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 22:02, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Please see Wookieepedia's no personal attacks policy. Comment on content, not on the contributor; personal attacks damage the community and deter users. Note that continued personal attacks may lead to blocks for disruption. Please stay cool and keep this in mind while editing. Thank you.  Master Jonathan  ( Jedi Council Chambers ) 22:31, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

I've noticed you switching around images in many articles lately. Just remember that any image that you remove from a page will be placed in the Unused files page if it's not being used in another article. It eventually makes its way to the Unused images page, where it is left for around 5-7 days before being deleted. I've noticed some of the images that you shift around in articles ending up on these pages. Whenever you're removing an image from a page, please check to see if it's present in another article, and if its not, try to find a place for it so it doesn't get deleted. Thanks. Xicer9 ( Combadge) 23:10, October 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Click fail. Sorry.  Master Jonathan New Jedi Order.svg ( Jedi Council Chambers ) 22:32, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * So I didn't fo anything bad? Gooooood...-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 22:36, October 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * I added multiple articles to articles and removed them from the gallery so that they wouldn't be deleted.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 23:17, October 6, 2010 (UTC)

Rahm Kota
There is no project. Rahm Kota is a current Featured Article that I worked on, and needs to be updated with new material, that's all. As the nominator and writer, it is my responsibility to ensure that the article is maintained to the highest standard. Also, since I generally prefer to work alone on articles, I do not require any help with the update, although the offer is appreciated. - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 07:42, October 8, 2010 (UTC)

Narrowing box
Hi, I'm wondering why this edit was required? I didn't notice what it was trying to solve. (: --Tm_T(Talk) 14:31, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * The 100% box creates a large blank space on hi-res and wide screens.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 14:52, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Then I would recommend to find a way to set max-width instead so it won't shrink it in small screens (might need changing the template and/or wrapping the box with div). (: --Tm_T(Talk) 15:03, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Can you please teach me how to do that?-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 15:04, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * example but I would rather leave such "hacks" out unless really necessary. Hope this helps (: --Tm_T(Talk) 15:11, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * If I may butt in, I fixed it by setting  in the scroll box&mdash;a handy trick to remember in the future. :)  Master Jonathan  New Jedi Order.svg ( Jedi Council Chambers ) 15:31, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * That works too, although it causes it to narrow even when it's not that wide yet, which is something I dislike, thus the max-width so it can be wide enough to not be too crammed. --Tm_T(Talk) 15:34, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I guess that'll do.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 15:48, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Warning
I've grown tired of your "I don't care what others think, I'm doing what I want" attitude. You do not dictate consensus. You do not have the right to make changes to Featured Articles without first discussing it. And you are not an administrator. So don't tell me what I can and cannot do. You don't speak for the community as a whole. I expect to see a change in your attitude. WP:CIVIL applies to everyone. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 21:32, October 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry- I left an apology message on your talk page.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 21:58, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Forums
Yeah, no problem. The new format of the sw.com forums makes sourcing posts a real mission. Master Jonathan explained it to me, and I'll gladly pass it on to you, but first, hook me up with the date and the time of Leland's post. Menkooroo 04:41, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hmmmm... if there's no clear statement from Leland on their canonicity, I'd say it's probably OK to just write something like "As the LEGO games take humorous liberties with the storyline, this article assumes they are not canon." My opinion obviously isn't gospel, but, ya know, I wouldn't object to that. :^D Menkooroo 14:00, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * Will do. The canon status of the games is sort of self-evident in a way, so I'll just use something similar to your statement until someone else comments about it.-- ID-21 Dolphin  DolphinJedi.png(Talk) 20:14, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
