Hi, next time be sure that you're not uploading an image that its already uploaded and used on another page. Thanks--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 20:27, July 8, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay. I checked beforehand I must have just missed it. Thanks.--Benjay2345 (talk) 03:25, July 9, 2017 (UTC)

Rey image
Hi. Please stop reverting the removal of the recent Rey image. If you disagree with it replacing the previous image, please raise the issue on Talk:Rey. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:34, July 21, 2017 (UTC)

Kylo Ren immage
Put a diferent image on Kylo Ren's page if you have a better quality image of his later appearance. He looks diferent in the current image, with his scar and a diferent hairstyle.--ZapikCZ (talk) 22:06, September 1, 2017 (UTC)

Finn image
The image has already been uploaded as File:Finn_Advanced_Graphics_Standee.png. Don't upload a new image and just replace the old one. I'll mark yours for deletion.--ZapikCZ (talk) 17:43, September 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * If you want to change the image bring it up on the talk page --Lewisr (talk) 01:43, September 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * What did you change about the Snoke image?--ZapikCZ (talk) 06:28, September 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * The color was darker than the actual card. I made the color more accurate. --Benjay2345 (talk) 02:22, September 8, 2017 (UTC)

Please do not attempt to archive Consensus Track votes. That is the right and the duty of administrators, and it is regulated by our Consensus policy. Thank you.  Imperators II (Talk) 08:35, September 16, 2017 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for uploading the pictures of the LEGO versions of Hera Syndulla, Boba Fett, and Leia Organa. I'm glad that we're able to put our differences aside and focus on creating articles related to the Freemakers tag. I'll go and reverse my edits to the other LEGO Star Wars TV shows. May the Force be with you. Andykatib 05:52, September 17, 2017 (UTC)
 * You are very welcome! I guess this whole thing just gave me a shock but I understand the need for it now. Thank you for helping me understand. May the Force be With You as well. --Benjay2345 (talk) 05:53, September 17, 2017 (UTC)

Re: LEGO CT
Yeah, I'm considering it already. It'll need to wait until the current one is done, though. MasterFred (Whatever) 01:52, September 18, 2017 (UTC)

Finn
Hi, Benjay! Hope things are well! I noticed you uploaded a new version of the Finn Advanced Graphics image. However, while the current version has a higher resolution, it is of much lower quality than the original upload; if you zoom in on the image, it quickly becomes pixelated. Since the proper resolution for the image appears to be the 256x321 version, I would recommend reverting to that. Or, better yet, I would utilize the previous Fathead photo, which is a clearer image. - Cwedin (talk) 04:20, September 20, 2017 (UTC)

CT durations
In response to your query on Toprawa's talk page: Consensus Track votes have a standard duration of 14 days, as per WP:CON. 1358 (Talk)  21:48, September 24, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks for clarifying that for me.--Benjay2345 (talk) 21:53, September 24, 2017 (UTC)

RE:Quadnocs
No problem. It happens from time to time--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 22:14, September 24, 2017 (UTC)

RE: Luke
They are appearing in the correct placements for me, is it happening on any other pages for you? --Lewisr (talk) 04:05, September 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * It was doing it on Han's page too but now it isn't. Must have just been an internet connection problem.--Benjay2345 (talk) 04:06, September 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * Maybe so! Glad to hear its all good now --Lewisr (talk) 04:09, September 27, 2017 (UTC)

Categories
Please at the moment of uploading an image link the information to the pages like Plo Koon instead of just Plo Koon. Also try to fill the categories. Thanks--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 04:21, September 27, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, will try and do a better job of this! Thanks for the reminder.--Benjay2345 (talk) 04:22, September 27, 2017 (UTC)

RE:New Version of Rebels Poster
Hi, from Jedi News, Lucasfilm sent them the poster, not sure if other websites got the poster too.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 04:37, September 27, 2017 (UTC)

Paige Blaster
It looks like you cut off the barrel of Paige's blaster in the new File:Paige Tico Hasbro.png (it looks like this: https://www.flickr.com/photos/quarax/25574488544/in/album-72157664378916743/), and there's still a bit of red showing near the front of it, but you did a good job on the rest of the crop. Toa Quarax '''( Talk ) 06:32, October 23, 2017 (UTC)

Poe/Finn
Where did you find those high quality images? Do they have Leia or the others?--ZapikCZ (talk) 08:00, October 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * I found them using the Tin-Eye reverse image lookup website. It didn't have a source for them just a file. I haven't found any for any of the others yet though. --Benjay2345 (talk) 19:56, October 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * Very nice!--ZapikCZ (talk) 20:11, October 31, 2017 (UTC)

Images
When you upload images you are supposed to fill out all the info you can on the table including the cat licensee, cat subject and cat type sections, please make sure that you do when upload stuff in the future --Lewisr (talk) 21:13, November 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * You still aren't doing it. Its really not that hard to do if you just take a bit of time --Lewisr (talk) 00:56, November 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * You could have done it before you uploaded it, but just make sure you remember to fill it out from now on --Lewisr (talk) 00:58, November 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * I will make sure I do. --Benjay2345 (talk) 00:58, November 6, 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you! --Lewisr (talk) 00:59, November 6, 2017 (UTC)

Rey image
The image is currently protected to prevent users engaging in a reversion war, which you (and others) had been participating in whenever users uploaded newer versions. You constantly reverted it to the wider crop when it was apparent that several users (including myself) felt that the closer crop was more appropriate for the infobox. As such, to prevent further back and forth, I have uploaded an unmodified image. I also believe that the image should not have been modified from the original source with a transparent background. - Sir Cavalier of One ( Squadron channel ) 22:19, November 5, 2017 (UTC)
 * Images should not be modified from the original source in any significant way. Removing an image from its background counts as this. Whether or not that image is reused multiple times on different backgrounds, the image should retain the background. Also, when it comes to image quality, bigger does not mean it is better quality. The Poe and Finn standees for instance were blurry when looked at closely. Wookieepedia strives to have the best images it can in the infobox in terms of quality and clarity, and this is doubly true of any main character infobox image. - Sir Cavalier of One FarStar.svg( Squadron channel ) 23:20, November 5, 2017 (UTC)

Vanity Fair photos
Hey. Beyond the image quality issue&mdash;it's very blurry; bigger does not mean better, and blowing up an image to make it larger generally hurts an image's quality&mdash;the Vanity Fair photos like File:Poe Dameron Vanity Fair The Last Jedi.png are photos of the actors. It's better to think of that image as a photo of Oscar Isaac as Poe Dameron, not a photo of Poe Dameron. For that reason those photo shoot images should not be used as in-universe portrayals of the characters. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 03:56, November 6, 2017 (UTC)

Backgrounds
Please stop messing around with the images, you were told that removing the backgrounds was changing an image in a significant way from the original source, which isn't really allowed. --Lewisr (talk) 04:18, November 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * I did not know that this applied for all images. There are tons of images very similar to the one of Chopper on this wiki that have backgrounds removed for the sake of a better infobox image. It seems that this rule has either been nonexistent or not been enforced. Why is this all of the sudden a big deal?--Benjay2345 (talk) 04:20, November 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know, just I noticed it was said to you but you still was doing it, also Brandon said this as well to you but I agree it is better to have the backgrounds rather than a generic white background. It probably isn't a big deal but you kept reverting images and doing all these crops etc which drew attention to it all --Lewisr (talk) 04:28, November 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay, I understand. I see how backgrounds are the much better option in many cases but in the case of the Chopper image the grey background just seems a little bit awkward. I think there are lots of people on this wiki that would think that the white background in certain situations such as when it is a promotional posed photograph such as the ones of Sabine, Ezra, and in this case Chopper that the transparent backgrounds look better. In the end it seems that its just personal preference. I'll leave the Chopper photo be but I think that the transparent background should at least be considered.--Benjay2345 (talk) 04:32, November 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * I think the Chopper one looks better with the background, its a bit more engaging and you could probably miss the image if it was just a white background. As you say it kinda comes down to personal preference but I'm sure all options are open to consideration --Lewisr (talk) 04:54, November 7, 2017 (UTC)

Rey crop
Hi Benjay -- I have uploaded a new version that I took directly from the source but cropped in the same way as you had it. I could not upload your version directly to the image as it was .jpg file while the original was a .png file; the system does not allow you to replace images with different file extensions. I have also deleted the placeholder image since it is no longer needed. - Sir Cavalier of One ( Squadron channel ) 17:27, November 7, 2017 (UTC)
 * The new version is now live, and the placeholder deleted. I sincerely hope this is the last I hear about this image, and I will not be uploading any more versions or crops. I commend and encourage your desire to contribute to help make this site as complete as possible, but I believe that focusing on this one single issue is not a productive use of anyone's time. I look forward to seeing your future contributions on the site. If you need any future help or advice, please feel free to contact me. - Sir Cavalier of One FarStar.svg( Squadron channel ) 22:32, November 8, 2017 (UTC)

Stop
You should stop changing infobox pictures. Instead ask on the talk page to see if anyone agrees. You keep saying "better crop", "less distracting", but some users already expressed that those are personal views. Not everyone agree on that, to see if they agree ask on the talk page of the article. Like the rule says Consensus "Certain article talk-page votes, which may be held on a case-by-case basis to determine such particulars as an article's main infobox image", although is not necessary to do votes, Just Ask and stop with uneccessary changes--189.222.70.81 02:23, November 11, 2017 (UTC)
 * I opened a discussion on the Shmi talk page but I just had thought that since the image was clearly higher quality and forward facing instead of slightly to the side that it would obviously be a better infobox image. My bad.--Benjay2345 (talk) 02:36, November 11, 2017 (UTC)

Uploading images
Hey when you upload images please check you are filling out the template correct, you put some stuff in the wrong place but I changed them for you, cat license is for category:images from blah blah and cat type is category:live action images etc, hope this makes sense --Lewisr (talk) 19:54, November 12, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay I'll be sure to do it correctly. Thanks for the reminder.--Benjay2345 (talk) 20:11, November 12, 2017 (UTC)

Larger images
Higher dimensions does not equal higher quality. Such as with File:Hos.png. Yes, when you click view the image to get the following link https://lumiere-a.akamaihd.net/v1/images/hosnian-prime-16-9_1d77d3d3.jpeg?region=69%2C0%2C1422%2C800&width=768 you can change the numerical value of 768 width to as high as 4000, but that is just artificially enlarging the image. To actually see the image its full-size, native resolution, you need to remove everything after the .jpeg and hit enter. That is the true size of the image. And in this image's case, that resolution is 1560x800 pixels. Just wanted to give you that head's up as to why I reverted it back. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 02:05, November 13, 2017 (UTC)
 * Okay thanks for clarifying. Also on the Starkiller Base image I meant to just put a plain black background but I must have accidentally clicked the wrong image to use as the background. Sorry about that. --Benjay2345 (talk) 02:37, November 13, 2017 (UTC)

It is preferred to center the subjects head/face in an infobox image, as Shmi's head was centered in my crop. The way you have it cropped, her head is more left and not centered. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 05:28, November 13, 2017 (UTC)

Paige Tico
You were the one who uploaded the previous image on Paige's page, why do you keep messing about with images and removing backgrounds and then say we should avoid using images with transparent backgrounds? --Lewisr (talk) 02:31, December 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * I uploaded it before the discussion about the Leia image. If the transparent Paige image is allowed (which I am ultimately fine with) then the Leia one should be too. I was just doing as I was told in trying to avoid transparent background.--Benjay2345 (talk) 02:35, December 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * Read Cavalier comment, he locked an image of Rey because besides the infinite cropping, the background was removed, he gave this reason "Images should not be modified from the original source in any significant way. Removing an image from its background counts as this." If the admin got confused and this doesn't apply to all images then we can put it back until then I would say wait for the answer, Because that got confusing--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 02:38, December 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * To my understanding that was allowed and agree that it looks better, but Cav comments made them see it like it wasn't okay. --DarthRuiz30 (talk) 02:41, December 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * Removing the background of an image that does not depict any sort of identifiable scene or location is perfectly acceptable and not violating any sort of policy. For example, if someone were to remove the background from this image of Leia where the background is clearly the Resistance base of D'Qar, then that would be significantly altering the background. But, as is the example from countless images from Star Wars: Card Trader where the background was simply the character with a starscape background, and a whitish glow surrounding the character, removing the background is actually beneficial and improves how the image appears. And it is not "altering" the canonicity of the image, because a person cannot survive in space, so having a space background is ridiculous. As in the case of the image where Paige was isolated from the background of a book cover, where the background was nothing more than a black haze surrounding her and a bunch of red lines, there is absolutely nothing wrong with or against policy in isolating the character from that background. Period. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 02:53, December 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * No offense, but I take the word of an admin more than from an user, I know is ridiculous, but that last time bunch of images got deleted because of that plus an image got locked, so a clarification about it would be nice--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 02:58, December 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * I agree with JMAS. Images with backgrounds are preferred when there's something visually interesting or identifiable in that background. But in the case of the Paige Tico image, removing a random/generic/nothing background and replacing it with a transparent background is fine. This obsession with changing images for the sake of changing images has really got to stop. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 03:37, December 4, 2017 (UTC)
 * Still, maybe the admin got confused, Benjay already send a message to the admin to clarify what he meant. And I think after that we will return to normal and just remove the background of it. Maybe even add to the policy under what circumstances is okay to remove it, since its not clear. I support removing the random background, but that doesn't mean we can't seek a clarification about that.--DarthRuiz30 (talk) 04:01, December 4, 2017 (UTC)

Image resolution.
Image dimensions do not equal higher resolution. Every single image I have uploaded from TLJ Special Edition magazine are at resolution of 300 dpi (pixels/inch). Your uploads are at a resolution of 72 dpi. Less than 1/4 the quality. So regardless that your uploads may have seemingly higher resolution, they do, in fact, have lower quality. This clearly evident when you look at the images at full size, and look at the details around lines, or edges of garments, etc. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 05:25, December 31, 2017 (UTC)
 * I don't know why you are telling me this again. I simply moved your higher dpi Finn image to a revision of the duplicate Finn image which is how you are supposed to upload a higher quality version of an image that has already been uploaded, and then cropped the Phasma image tighter because it looks better that way in the infobox. Your images have not been taken down so I don't know why you are telling me this again. And also, just out of curiosity, what is your method for getting the higher resolution images?--Benjay2345 (talk) 05:32, December 31, 2017 (UTC)
