Template:user wookiee
Now that it's an official userbox, should I make a category for it? -  Yoshi  626  22:35, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I just did it for you :)– 22:42, 11 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you! :-) -  Yoshi  626 [[Image:Yoshiegg.jpg|20px]] 22:46, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

Userbox Annoyances
Hey Sentry. I might need you to look at a section in my userpage where my userboxes are. What I have now is a mess and I'm puzzled as to why doesn't work. I'm currently converting over from a right margin series of infoboxes to a centered cluster of three per row to save space on the side in other sections and to generally improve the page's appearance. I believe you have the ability to edit the page though protected from non-admins. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'm on it&hellip;– 08:41, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * K, I arranged your userboxes in three rows. How does it look? Is that what you were going for?– 09:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, although with my screen resolution I have a tad bit of overhang on the third column, though that is due to our adspace versus Wikipedia's full use of the margin. Perhaps it looks better on a larger res. -- Riffsyphon1024 10:05, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, those ads are pain. Unfortunately, due to the width of the userboxes, there isn't anything I can do to make it look better :-( – 21:10, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

VFD changes
Hey. I put Wookiee Villager up for VFD earlier, clicked the "create a VFD discussion page" link and created the page but the incomplete message stayed on the article instead of the normal VFD message. Green Tentacle (Talk) 15:47, 15 December 2006 (UTC) Sorry I didn't reply earlier&hellip; I haven't had power, phone, or cable access for 4 days. We had a really nasty wind storm in the pacific northwest .– 06:53, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it is either a browser or server cache issue. It will sort itself out within 24 hours.

Happy Christmas!

 * Thanks! And Merry Christmas to you as well =) – 06:53, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Imperial Emblem
Hi Sentry. I saw that you improved the Imperial Emblem in the Galactic Empire-Article. This may sound fastidious, and yes, it is veery fastidious. But I think the "real", simplest imperial logo should be black on white background. The actual one is white in a black circle. If you invert the actual one, you'll have a black one with a white circle around it. The additional circle is not a necessary feature of the emblem. So I would say: away with it. I think it is unimportant whether the logo is black on white or vice-versa, but it really doesn't need an additional ring. Sorry for making so much babble to you.--TeakHoken84.173.27.57 18:19, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Re:
Thank you for helping me fix up my sig, I think it's fixed now. -Solus 00:06, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry I'm so naive about this, thank you for the help. Is this okay? -Solus 00:22, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry I keep on doing it wrong... I tried to fix it, here's the code, if anything else is wrong, you can go ahead and directly edit it from this:

 * Thank you so much for your patience and help. - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  04:06, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Image for deletion
Um... where do I go to keep the image from being deleted? I went to the images for deletion page and I didn't see anything. - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  02:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  01:41, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Revan/Exile gender
Hey, I liked your comment on gender stereotypes and Revan/Exile. Very interesting perspective. I don't think anyone has ever thought about that before. KEJ 00:31, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The following two blogs discuss this topic (the second one from the perspective you give): What the Exile's a Woman?: Sexism in Star Wars and What Revan isn't a Woman?: Sexism in Star Wars II. If you're interested, check them out, and leave a comment. KEJ 10:42, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the links. Both blog entries are interesting reads and I will be sure to comment on them when I get the chance =) – 00:07, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

help
i was wondering if you could help me again, my userpage if totally messed up agen. Ive tried my best to get wat i want by studing other people pages and tring to sort mine out as well. unfortunly im tottally crap at the wikicode and somehow your a genius at understanding. if u have the time to help me could you make all my background black, and rearrange my userboxes like they were. with the Personal info and Aron Skywalker boxes at the top and Darth Aeyz underneth (in the midle if possible. Thx

PS: Sorry that I didn't respond sooner, I took a week off from the wiki for the holidays.– 23:17, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sure, I will take a look at it ;-)

Sig
At Silly Dan's request I already made my picture smaller (i.e. 20 px) I'll change the color in a minute. Jagged Fel, the man formerly known as Humorbot'  (Yo!)''


 * Also, When it says one color, I assume that means one color throughout (see mine for instance) is that right? Or are people allowed a spearate color for the User Page link? Jagged Fel,  the man formerly known as Humorbot'  (Yo!)''[[Image:JagFel.jpg|20px]]
 * Hmmm&hellip; I believe that the CT thread meant one color throughout, but I personally don't mind if you use two shades of the same color.– 22:22, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Uncategorized pages
I'm trying to help out by categorizing any uncategorized articles, but I'm always having to try and find a category that won't result in a redlink. Is there a list of accepted Wookieepedia categories that I can refer to when choosing how to categorize an article, or do I have to keep up the same hit-or-miss approach? Jwebb13 HoloNet 04:07, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, there isn't a list as far as I know. In order to figure out which pages go in which categories, you have to do it the hard way. Usually you just have to browse the category tree (starting with Category:Star Wars) until you find a category that fits. After a while, you will memorize the category names and it will get easier.– Sentry  Talk 04:27, 14 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I saw the note about those lists being reserved for admins, so I'll stay off them until I decide whether or not to nominate myself for inclusion in that lofty group. Since no one seems to mind, I'm going to continue helping out with categorizations and things in the meantime, as I could use the practice.  If there's anything else I can do to help out around here, just let me know.  Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 02:08, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, we can always use all the help that we can get with the tasks listed on that page and I think it is awesome that you have volunteered. I just removed you from the list because it was intended for admins and your name might have caused some confusion. Believe me, don't take it the wrong way because your efforts are much appreciated. =) – 03:26, 22 January 2007 (UTC)
 * What can I say? I love this site, even more than the glorious reference tool that is Wikipedia.  Of course, someone could always just nominate me for adminship and remove all confusion.... ;)  Talk to you later.  Jwebb13 HoloNet[[Image:oldsith.jpg|40px]] 22:37, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Wol Cabbassh
I think I completely messed up the Wol Cabbassh page. I have no clue what I'm doing. I wanted to add this picture as the actual planet of Wol Cabbassh But It just wouldn't work Please help

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v110/droidekas/cabba.jpg Now on to business. First, is that image fan made? I ask because Wol Cabassh is a planet developed from the What's the Story? contest and unfortunately we do not accept fanart. Also, you should upload images to the server rather than linking to an external source. For general editing info, check out: Help:Editing. Cheers, 23:22, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello and welcome to the wiki!

Thanks
Hey, just wanted to say thanks for fixing my userboxes. I asked three other people but they couldn't help me. So, thanks a lot Sentry. Chack Jadson 14:22, 23 January 2007 (UTC) Anyway, if you need any more help, feel free to ask. Cheers, 22:50, 23 January 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. I actually saw your request for help on Sikon's talk page a few days ago. It inspired me to finally do some repairs on the user infobox template and to delete the crappy infobox container template that I made a while back.

I HAVE NEW FRIENDS...
Hello I want to make new friends…Please Sign my SignSpace in my UserPage, please, greettings, User_talk:Starkiller1996

Something that may need to be deleted
Hey Sentry, I've recently spotted the remnants of a talk page to a deleted article: Talk:Science of a Sarlacc. Since the article was deleted, shouldn't Talk:Science of a Sarlacc be deleted?
 * Thanks for the heads up. It looks like QuentinGeorge deleted it .– 06:05, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Sentry, what's going on? --  Riffsyphon  1024 03:48, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi Sentry, I just want to thank you for fixing my profile and for your support about the Wookieepedians by article philosophy.--Zeist Antilles 22:45, 2 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey man, I'm really sorry to see you go. You'll certainly be missed. It seems I almost always found myself voting on things the same side as you. Your work here will always be greatly appreciated. Best wishes in whatever you do. Peace. -- Ozzel 06:21, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

Nooooo! You'll be missed dude. (Ulicus 23:23, 8 February 2007 (UTC))

...Sounds suspiciously like the modern political process in the USA! :) Gonk 18:25, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your efforts here Sentry. Best of luck to you. :) -Fnlayson 03:53, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Let me echo that also. You were a great help to me when I first started here, and your insane talents with wikicode and personality will be missed. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 04:36, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, I just found out now that you've left. I tend to agree with you on some of your arguments against the wiki-format (having originally left Wikipedia for the same reasons). Anyway, thanks for your efforts here. They're greatly appreciated. Good luck. KEJ 21:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll miss you. I never really knew you, but your signature's prominence on discussion pages inspired me to be more involved. - Milo Fett [Comlink] 00:39, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Hello sentry, I am really pleased you are back. It to saddened me to hear the news that you had left. I totally understand the motivational feelings you had. I to am sorry to say that those types of feelings are a day to day occurrence with me to, not necessarily with Wookiee but most other things. Anyway good to see you are back :-)    Joker1138 ( Mandalore ) [[Image:MandalorianSymbol.jpg|25px]]
 * "...every minor discussion is in danger of being hijacked by clever and/or ambitious users who know that they may be able to sway the absurdly flawed postmodern process known as 'consensus' in their favor if they shout loud enough. As such, many disagreements degenerate into a ridiculous street theater in which all concerned parties expend their energy in an effort to sway voters to their way of thinking through sheer force of personality. After a while, the system becomes incredibly tiresome."
 * Understanding your reasons for leaving now makes sense. Good luck in the real world Sentry and perhaps your determination and passion can go into more productive means. :) --  Riffsyphon  1024  05:04, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

Atarumaster

 * I appreciate the solidarity, but I didn't really interpret his post as a threat, just vehement opposition to my point of view, which is at least understandable. While you and I seem to be on the same page with this whole Inquisitorius thing, I have to admit that I doubt he'd have to do much vote farming to defeat anything I might propose. My stance at this point is that if users here want this so badly, they deserve it. Hopefully they'll come to their senses eventually, but I have no desire to be a martyr to principle over the matter. CooperTFN 07:10, 9 April 2007 (UTC)
 * Please see my comments on Cooper's page. As Han Solo says, "Sorry about the mess." Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Audience Chamber ) 02:14, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
 * No apology necessary. I appreciate your intentions. CooperTFN 18:51, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
 * No hard feelings at all, Sentry. I understand about the RL pressure and all that, and I know that I personally have also been a candidate for the "open mouth insert foot" award at times. I'm still sorry to see you go. Cheers. Atarumaster88  22:25, 2 May 2007 (UTC)

Redlink fix

 * Hey, what should I shift the Category:VFD over to for the new Trash Compactor setup? I have a redlink I'd like to fix. Thanks. Atarumaster88  20:09, 4 May 2007 (UTC)
