 * Hey Mike. Welcome to Wookipedia. Just a couple of comments. The standard style for the Wookipedia is past tense, so all entries you do need to be written that way. Also you could edit the pics on your front page by putting |thumb]] on the end so that the pic doesn't disturb the text like it does a the mo. Eyrezer

Please use it so you don't spam the Recent Changes page. Thanks. StarNeptune 06:04, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Images on userspace
I feel that the number of images on your user page exceeds what we would like users to use. 5 is fine, 10 is pushing it, but I see 36, most in your Images I Love/Hate section. Could you please remove some of them, as they do strain the wiki sometimes? In addition your general language usage on them isn't preferred either. -- Riffsyphon1024 22:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

Talk page
Removing stuff is considered bad form around here. It's okay if you want to archive it, but don't just delete it. StarNeptune 01:28, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

Please don't put that tag on your userpage. It's for actual articles that need to be cleaned up, not userpages. Thank you. StarNeptune 15:59, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

New articles
While I enjoy the articles you pos,t could you please attempt to follow the Manual of Style for article formatting, please? Kuralyov 06:41, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I see you've ignored me for the past few articles you've made, and I've had to fix, so I'll say it again: please follow the Manual of Style. Kuralyov 06:59, 8 March 2006 (UTC)
 * He doesn't respond to his talk page. Leave a comment on his user page. That's what he wants. -- SFH 19:54, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

Copyvio
Anyone with The Wildlife of Star Wars want to check to see if his new articles are copivios? Because from the scans from that book that he's posted, the wording I can see is identical (fambaa and titavian are the two I noticed). - Lord Hydronium 03:11, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Don't bother posting it here. He doesn't pay attention to it. -- SFH 03:17, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know. I doubt he'd admit to putting up copyvios anyway.  I was hoping that someone else could verify my suspicion, and I figured the talk page of the user in question was the best place for it. - Lord Hydronium 03:20, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry if it looks like i copied it but i try to write it similar so that people can get a good understanding of what im trying o say and plus i have contributed a lot of articles.sorry if i write thyem too close to the book i will try to word differently.Mike Kazz 10:05pm, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * OK. While you're rewording things, though: put your articles in PAST TENSE please.  Thanks. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:32, 21 March 2006 (UTC)

Past Tense

 * Im sorry I just cant do the whole past tense thing. I have Tried but I just mess things up. I cant do it. Someone elas is just gonna have to do it because if I do the articles I wrote will suck and wont make sense!! Mike Kazz 10:36pm, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, it's not a matter of choice. You know about the requirement, so you have to do it. -- SFH 03:40, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * But if it is left to me it will SUCK!!! I dont understand cant someone elas do it there are a lot of people on Wiki someone is bound to. Mike Kazz 10:42pm, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * If you can write a sentence in English, you can write in past tense. It is really not that hard. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:43, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well cant just someone elas do it? I provide the Info. and someone elas modifies it. How bout that? Mike Kazz 10:47pm, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * We're not here to babysit you. If you can't learn how to contribute the way everyone else does, you shouldn't contribute at all. CooperTFN 03:48, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * The fanfic biography you enjoy working on is in past tense, after all, so we can tell you know how to write in past tense. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:52, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well whats the point of having all the users then? They can do it. Im not here to babysit either, I could care less if its not in past tense, it dosent bother me. If its a such a big issue then fix it hotshot. Mike Kazz 10:52pm, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Come on guys, lets not start squabbling. Mike: we would appreciate it if you at least made an effort to conform to the rules and policies of this wiki (most notably, writing in the past tense). And you should understand that other users do not exist to clean up your work; there are numerous other projects and agendas to be dealt with that have much higher priorities. That said, we do appreciate your contributions&mdash;we would just like to see a little more effort. Thanks. RMF 03:58, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I suppose he's gonna run out of animals sooner or later. CooperTFN 04:01, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Ya I will write past tense from now on but not in my other articles already weitten. If its so easy then other users shouldnt have trouble fixing them. With that said I dont want to hear anymore unless its important. Mike Kazz 11:01pm, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * It isn't our job to clean up after you because you are too lazy to follow the rules. It's not like you are some anon who doesn't know better. You know the rules and our agreed upon style of writing. Follow it or leave. It's that simple.--DannyBoy7783 17:38, 29 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You know, if you can't write in our format and you want them to clean it up, just DON'T WRITE. Leave the actual writing to them and maybe you can later edit it.
 * That dosent make sence

Spelling/Grammer

 * Okay, let's talk about your spelling and grammar now. CooperTFN 04:09, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I know I have Bad spelling and I WILL go back and fix all of it tomorrow. I have just been so busy but tomorrow im doing nothing so I will go back and fix it all. Mike Kazz 11:11pm, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

The Wildlife of Star Wars
Hi there! :)

I've seen that you've changed some things on the "Wildlife..." article, but some are wrong.

1 - It's Jackrab and not Tackrab. It's true that the way that the "J" has been written can be confusing, but, you can verify in the index, at the end of the book, it's a "J" and not a "T". I think you'll have to change the title of your Jackrab article.

2 - You're correct about the "Jubba bird", thanks for that change. :)

3 - For "Zalaacas", I rather think that this is one "Zalaaca" and two "Zalaacas". The "s" at the end is useless for your article title, cause, for a creature, its name must be written for one individual creature.

It's seems that you're correct for the rest of the changes. :) Cya!

(Kaal-Jhyy)

Userpages and infoboxes
Much as you hate it when people edit your userpage, keep it both ways and don't go messing with theirs, especially not over something as petty as how many userboxes you have. Continue this behaviour, and you will get a cooldown ban. Thank you.  StarNeptune  20:55, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

--You know, by saying you hate Darth Cow, you're only adding another link to my page so more people know about me. :P!
