Custom Userboxes
If you would like any user boxes made just see my talk page. Thanks. Happy Holidays!  Scwhinky Communicate 22:19, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Your userbox is ready. It could only have two colors so I put Red and Blue. Thanks. -- Scwhinky Communicate 16:19, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

Thank you very much m8. Now if only I could figure out how to make one.--Goodwood 07:01, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

Hallis
I had a look and made one comment on the Inq page. Aprat from that, looks good. --Eyrezer 04:35, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks Eyrezer, the article has been (hopefully) fixed per your comment.--Goodwood 17:14, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

1K
You just broke one thousand edits. Awesome! - Graestan 21:11, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks mate! Now I've just got to get my (Main) edits up to that number... ;o)--Goodwood 21:13, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Dogfight pictures
Hey Goodwood, I uploaded some of the dogfight pictures that I came across and organized them in a Gallery for you → Gallery of dogfight images. That is by no means all of them, so if you have any special requests of certain dogfights, just let me know and I'll do my best to help you out. Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 22:34, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
 * What you've got there so far looks really good. If it's possible I'd like to get the source works for the pictures so I can include them in the "Appearances" section - in addition more Clone Wars/Legacy dogfights would be welcome. Vidoe game screen shots are also good.--Goodwood 22:39, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Force cage
Just a quick compliment: good work on Force cage. I wanted to expand that myself&mdash;a long time ago&mdash;but you were faster, and I think your version is good enough, probably better than the one I could have written. - TopAce (Talk) 13:34, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the compliment, TopAce! ;o) --Goodwood 19:03, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

RFA
I strongly agree with your stance. I am giving Jaymach the chance to give me at least one positive impression before casting my vote. But I really do begin to see what certain "new" (presumably disgruntled and returning) users are thinking about the admins. Some of them were talking about giving Jaymach his sysop rights back without nomination or voting. I vehemently disagree with the notion. We cannot just have an "in crowd" on Wookieepedia; this is a meritocracy by nature. I must thank you for being the one against the many, unshakable in principle. - 07:23, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the support Graestan, but seriously I'm just pissed off that people like him are allowed to just "be evil", as they like to pretend to be. He's not evil - just a major-league asshole.--Goodwood 07:25, 14 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've come to understand that Jaymach's contributions to the Wiki, aside from his bullyish behavior in the IRC, actually exceed those of many admins, including the several admins I like even less than Jaymach. The whole superiority complex displayed by a few of our admins sickens me.  My opinion of you remains high, Goodwood.  You're like me: you really want to contribute, you don't really care what people think about you, and you encourage young and new users who otherwise would be crushed under the heels of some of our more prolific users.  But in Jaymach's case, I suggest taking the high road.  If he wants to be an arse, let him.  I really don't believe others revere him for his interpersonal skills.  That's why I nominated Greyman. -  16:20, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, he does contribute a lot, and yes he does keep the community well-supplied with all sorts of illegal stuff (wink, wink), and I can kind of see your point regarding him, but my vote stands. Ah well... ;o) Greyman's a good choice though.--Goodwood 20:54, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I stand with you. And they can fuck with me all they want. -  21:00, 16 July 2007 (UTC) - Joe Weaver

Vote
I'm trying to figure this out, you voted for the quote of Fi and Sev I put up, but you don't like Karen Traviss? P.S. Thanks, by the way, for the vote.Tracynsenaar 00:40, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. See, I think she's a good character writer, but she's done a whole boatload of things to piss off the fanbase, not the least of which was killing off a certain robe-wearing redhead. Karen strikes me as the type of alpha-bitch who wants desperately to be seen as a "take-no-prisoners" promoter of "her" interp of the saga and damn anyone for having a different opinion. FFS, she's made veiled death threats to fans on the TFN forums!--Goodwood 00:45, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

Yo
Hey Goodwood. How have you been? Haven't seen you in IRC for awhile! Hope is well :) Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 23:55, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry mate, just got lost playing Empire at War again...and then another graphic arts project fairly screamed for my attention...you know how these things go. Bet Pi misses me, eh? ;o)--Goodwood 23:56, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * lol. And I know how Empire at War can be...ADDICTIVE! arg, I spent many hours playing that game, lol. Greyman ( Paratus ) 23:58, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Come back to IRC :) Greyman ( Paratus ) 20:51, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll explain when you come back, trust me. Greyman ( Paratus ) 20:54, 29 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Goodwood...? Come on, I have some things that I wanted to run past you. Graestan is onboard with it as well. Greyman ( Paratus ) 21:05, 29 July 2007 (UTC)

Re: Starfighter combat

 * The article is now referenced fully and the capitalization issues have been fixed, but there is still some sticky wording when it comes to uses of "dogfight" and "starfighter combat" that should be addressed before I consider it good. I left some more comments on the GA page also. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 18:13, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:X-wing_35_12.jpg is uploaded for you. Please crop it for use in the article after you save it to your computer as I will be deleting it in 5 minutes. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 23:56, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, got it. Will be cropping and adding now. Thanks for your help thus far, BTW.--Goodwood 00:01, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

Karen and Jango
Hi... I read about you on the Nominations page and took a look at your page...I would like to know what you have aginst Karen I personally like her books but that is just an opinion, and if I did this wrong its becouse this is my first ever msg or edit so...sorry in advance btw my name is arc trooper 421(i don't know how to sign stuff so if you could please leave that in your reply that would be very nice.) thank you very much.

I read that quote and laughed until my sides hurt. OMG it's funny. Tracynsenaar 00:37, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks, it's a parody of what Tyria Sarkin and Garik Loran say to each other in X-wing: Wraith Squadron.--Goodwood 01:21, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Bah!
I thought you deserved this for the work you've done on Starfighter combat. Now you have to get it past the Inq's and get it that little FA star :) . Cheers,  Greyman ( Paratus ) 23:50, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks mate! This means a lot to me... :o)--Goodwood 00:01, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

IRC
If you have a few moments, come hop on IRC for a second&mdash;I have some things to run by you. Greyman ( Paratus ) 02:06, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Err, umm...that shouldn't matter if you're using ChatZilla for...that. Greyman ( Paratus ) 02:13, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I do. Greyman ( Paratus ) 02:18, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Erm, I thought I was the one waiting...? lol. In ChatZilla go to Preferences > irc.freenode.net > Lists > Auto-perform > add > /msg nickserv identify password > add > /chanserv invite channel. Then restart ChatZilla. Greyman ( Paratus ) 02:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Era tags
Re your edit to Sarkan: our usual policy for era tags is that they only appear for articles which are specifically tied to one period, such as events, characters, and vehicles. Almost all sentient species, planets, etc., exist in some form for the whole of galactic history, so the era tags are left out. Anyway, that's why I reverted your edit. Cheers, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 02:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Starfight Combat
Nice job on the Pilot Characteristics. Sorry about earlier, I was on the phone and not at my computer. However, I just finished reading over it, and you managed to do it quite nicely. Greyman ( Paratus ) 03:14, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

Re:Wedding
Thanks Goodwood :) Greyman ( Paratus ) 19:10, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

WP:NPA
The linking in your "Random comments" section on your userpage was a violation of WP:NPA. Though you've taken those links down, remain aware that personal attacks on Wookieepedia against other users are not acceptable. This is your warning; the next offense will result in a ban. Havac 21:43, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Cool userboxes!
I like your userboxes! Can I borrow some of them? Like the one about cake - cake is gooood! - or the one that says Qui-Gon was too cool to die? (Because I agree!) :P --76.5.174.189 20:26, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, that was me, I forgot to log in. *whacks self with lightsaber hilt* --Crazy Jedi Girl 20:29, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

GA

 * Your objection to Zeison Sha has been addressed. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 21:43, 15 August 2007 (UTC)
 * No, you're fine. I'm sorry, I was having layout issues with Wikia, so the (diff) links don't display properly. *Kicks server*. Thanks. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 21:51, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Energizer Bunny
Goodwood, I saw that you have a userbox stating you promoted the article to GA. I Italic textstronglyItalic text disagree. You made one edit to the page, which was adding the goodnom tag. Greyman said that you have to write a large portion of it to bring an article to GA, thus, when your ban is done, I would like you to remove it. Also, I hope you will be able to control yourself as far as WP:NPA goes in the future. Thanks,  Jediknight19bby  ( Jedi High Council Chambers! ) 22:13, 21 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Goodwood nominated the article for GA with the consent of the article's creator, Culator. It was decided on IRC that, if they both wanted it, then they were both entitled to the box&mdash;Culator since he obviously wrote the darn thing, and Goodwood for nominating it as a GAN. Also, Jediknight19bby, your last comment to Goodwood is unnecessary and unwarranted. You yourself just got off of a block from editing for WP:NPA. Anything further like that will be carefully watched, and I suggest that you leave warnings and whatnot to Administrators&mdash;if you have a problem with a user, then bring it to the attention of an admin. Greyman ( Paratus ) 22:26, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Starfighter combat
I added the section on the material from Outbound Flight, and addressed the objection on the nomination page. Sorry it took so long; horrible, long RL day for me. You'd be surprised how little the book talks about fighters in combat—something I made sure to mention when addressing the objection. Endless skimming and re-skimming was involved. You now owe me two fifteen-minute breaks and a thirty-minute lunch, bud. - Graestan   ( This party's over ) 05:50, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Mofference ?
When I first logged on to IRC, an hourish before the Mofference started, you asked me a question to the effect of, "What's with all the crappy images lately?" I was just curious what you were talking about? Just joking around? If not, to what images are you referring? Now, I'm second-guessing myself, so if it wasn't you that asked me that, then just forget about this. ;) - JMAS 01:53, 9 September 2007 (UTC)

When adding Category:Flagships to articles...
...could you please a) put the categories in order and b) not add "Category:Capital ships", as it's unnecessary? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 00:41, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

Shield trio
. . . should not be a redlink, Mr. Starfighter combat. I've got some folks asking for that redlink to be fixed on the Darklighter article. I could make a simple stub, but I was wondering if you could handle it, as it's your specialty and you could probably make something out of it. Thanks. Havac 04:03, 2 October 2007 (UTC)

Userbox Contradiction
Heh. Spirituality and religion are invalid and yet supports Force cults. S'funny. Karohalva

Dracmus GA objection
You objected to Dracmus, saying BTS should be rewritten. The article doesn't have a BTS. Did you mean P&T, add BTS or was it just a mistake?  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 16:30, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Whoops, yeah I ment P&T. My mistake.--Goodwood 19:21, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Fixed your objections.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 23:34, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Taris dueling ring objections.
Good evening, Goodwood.

I went through and fixed what I could find regarding tense, expansion, etc. I replayed the game going through Taris and the dueling ring/cantina sidequests. I honestly could not find a real suitable quote. I'll try again over the next couple of days. As for another picture, I'll see what I can do, but the only that is not player controlled is between Gerlon and Deadeye Duncan. Its not really a fight as its one-shot and down. I'll see if I can get a picture of it, but no guarantees.

I hope your overall objection has been satisfied (since there isn't a current requirement for quotes or picture content). I'll still try to add those features if possible. Have a good day. Master Aban Fiolli (Alpheridies University ComNet) 22:04, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I've had a look and so far it's a good effort. Insofar as quotes, you could use one of the Announcer's statements...--Goodwood 22:06, 7 October 2007 (UTC)

From the Forest of Goodwood...
I have an article that I am going to put up for GA. Can you peruse it and find anything, considering I've asked like 3 or 4 people, but none have responded. And, you have your little "Forest" stuff you do. Thanks! --   Jedipilot94  *Fo-Shizzle*  01:42, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Might as well go ahead and put it up for GA, buddy, that way it's out in the open--you likely didn't get responses because of this. If you do that, I'd be happy to bring the forest down on it...;o)-- Goodwood [[Image:Rebsymbol2.png|20px]] ( For the Rebellion! ) 01:44, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
