Re: WOTM
Thanks very much, JMAS. I really hope you win it soon. :)  CC7567  (talk) 01:00, 1 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'd be flattered and honored if I ever make it. But it's not for recognition or awards, it's to better Wookieepedia. And I'll keep doing what I do either way. But thanks again, and again, congrats to you. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 01:04, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

The Old Republic Images
Hey I was looking around the TOR pages and saw some images of the new cinematic. I clicked on them and it send that was the largest resolution. Since you put them on the site, and images are kinda your thing I thought I'd direct you to a higher res larger version of the video on Youtube. Second, I'm assuming you watched the cinematic. Do we have pages for the two "main characters" shown? Thanks. Galen Marek  ( Personal Comm ) 22:20, 2 June 2009 (UTC) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4iL5uUDf5I
 * Thanks for the link. There aren't pages for them yet. I have screenshots ready for them when they are, but figured I'd hold off to see if any of them are identified by name in the near future. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 22:26, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for letting me know. Anyway, I think it looks good. Cheers.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 22:34, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Copyvio?
Hi JMAS,

I'm still gathering sources for Kyp Durron and was fleshing out his Behind the scenes section with some of the merchandise that's come out. I found that he was included in one of the Wizard of the Coasts miniature sets, but have only been able to find a picture of it here: I was wondering if it's okay to upload that image, or if it violates Fair Use etc?

Thanks,

 * Just properly attribute the source when you upload the image. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 11:47, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

TOR trailer speculation
Hello. I would greatly appreciate if you would refrain from placing your personal speculation regarding the TOR trailer on Wookieepedia. The rank of the Sith leading the invasion of the Jedi Temple was never confirmed to be Lord, the ranks of his troops were never confirmed to be Marauders, and the rank of the Jedi he dueled was never confirmed to be Master. While this all is extremely likely, it has not been confirmed. As Wookieepedia is an encyclopedia, unconfirmed things have no place here. Thank you - Gorthuar 17:13, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 1. Don't lecture me. I've been here longer than you. 2. I'll accept the Sith Marauder as being speculation, for now. 3. He was a Sith Lord, per The official game site which states, and I quote, "While the Emperor’s Dark Council engaged Republic leaders in peace talks, several Sith Lords and an elite Imperial army sacked the Republic’s capital planet." -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 17:32, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * 1. I shall lecture anyone who appears to be in need of lecturing, no matter what their experience. Including your eminent ominpotence in this case. 2. Glad we agree on *something*. 3. I'm perfectly aware that there were multiple Sith Lords present during the assault on Coruscant. But does that make this specific Sith a Lord? Hell no! Of course it makes *sense* to place a Sith Lord in charge of invading the Jedi Temple... but it's speculation that it's this guy. Gorthuar 17:52, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Images
Hi. I just wanted to know why you replace PNG images with JPG images when PNG has higher quality when its compression produces no nasty artifacts or the like. Just asking, wanted to know if there's any specific reason or something. Thanks. 173.51.153.214 17:56, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * There is no reason to have it be a large PNG image, when the JPG quality is just as good. Also, the PNG version was very dark. The JPG version I uploaded to replace it was brighter. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 17:58, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, okay then. :) 173.51.153.214 18:00, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

3.4 Removed unverified info
Why remove the reference to the 501st Legion from the R2-KT page but not remove the source Complete_Star_Wars_Encyclopedia where the information was obtained?

TOR trailer articles
Not at all. My plans were to add in details on their duel in the future, but having read your edit, I think it's safe to say that you'd probably do a better job at that than I would. :p Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 23:37, 4 June 2009 (UTC)
 * The article is still a work-in-progress and not yet finished; therefore, I would kindly ask that you not make any further edits. I hate to say this, and I'm sorry if I seem rude, but I only gave you permission to work on the details of the duel only, and nothing else. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 15:00, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * No rudeness or offense taken. My only goal was improving the article. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 15:09, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I understand, and hopefully if I can expand the article enough, I will be able to add a third image. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 15:14, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Listen, I'm sorry. I have no excuse for my rudeness to you - that remark was uncalled for, and I regret writing it. But I can say that your response was equally inappropriate. So if this is how all our encounters are going to be in the future, I think it would be in our best interests to avoid each other from now on. Once again, I apologize for my behavior toward you. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 22:44, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm glad we were able to settle this. I look forward to working with you in the future. Grand Moff Tranner Imperial Department of Military Research.svg (Comlink) 13:19, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to but in, but I have to say something. Seriously, GMT, How was JMAS' response equally rude? It wasn't even rude at all. It was completely humble and acceptant. Seriously, you can't randomly call humble rude. --Kigon 23:03, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Kigon, I would recommend staying out of this. The issue has already been resolved, and restarting it is only going to make it worse.  CC7567  (talk) 23:09, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay. Thanks for the advice CC7567!:)--Kigon 23:12, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

TOR Jedi Death Image
Hey, I noticed you reverted my edit on the Unidentified Jedi (Sacking of Coruscant), so I guess I'll talk to you about it here. Wouldn't you think that it would be appropriate to have an image of his death in the article rather than one of him merely leaping over a lightsaber? Ruthless Xero 06:44, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Not, not at all. Showing him using Force Jump illustrates his abilities. The image you uploaded looks just like the first image of his locking sabers with the Sith, except that you can't see the sabers, and have no idea that he is actually being stabbed without the caption. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 11:48, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Help with images
Hey, I heard many people compliment you with uploading many images for Wookieepedia, so I was wondering if you could please help me with it.

Something that has really been bugging me since I first joined this community is that I don't exactly know how to obtain images for uploading and that has really inhibited my ability to contribute to the site. You see, I'm pretty much an amateur at anything involving the use of computers, and that includes images. The main problem for me is not uploading the images themselves, it's getting them. For example, I could help a lot if I knew how to get images off of KotOR I and II while I'm playing, but I don't. I think I'm supposed to press the prt sc button or something, but I haven't tried that yet, so I'm still not sure. And even if that was how to do so, I don't know how to obtain an image from games on consoles such as the PS2, etc. I don't think it's as simple as just taking a picture with a camera and saving it onto my computer right? That leads to my problem with getting images from books. Do I just take a camera and capture it? Because doesn't that usually mess it up a little, like it doesn't turn out as a clear photo such as the ones I see on the site. Or is that how people actually get them? Oh yeah, and I also had a problem getting images from the LucasArts official sites for Battlefront because it uses Adobe Flash Player. Upon recent contemplation, I think I just need to use prt sc and then crop the image, but since I'm asking you anyways, I'll just try it later. But in general, these are the problems that I've been plagued with for quite a while, and oddly enough, I choose only now to ask someone for help. Cyfiero 09:07, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I wish I could be more help. As far as taking screenshots from console games, I haven't the foggiest clue. I have an Xbox 360 and from all I've read, it's all but impossible to get screenshots from that without buying special this, and special that, which I'm not willing to do. As for using the camera, there is only one time you ever want to use a camera, and that is for images such as File:G2-9T.jpg where I was Star Tours at Disney World, and it was a live shot. You never want to take a picture of a book, or TV screen or computer monitor as the quality will always suck royally, no matter how nice of a camera you may have. The only way to get images from books is with a scanner. Taking image screenshots from the Flash Animations/images used on sites like the LucasArts site is tricky. Sometimes that is the only way to get an image. But if possible, it's always better to extract the actual SWF file and use a program designed to extract images from Flash movies or files. Firefox is the only browser I know of that allows you to access the browser cache to directly extract files that were present on a particular website. If it's possible to do in IE, I'm not aware of how. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 22:22, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * So, is it alright if you explain to me the products that I might have to buy to be able to get screenshots from console games? Um, sorry but what do you mean by scanner? And I'm completely fine with using Firefox, the only reason why I don't prefer to use it as my main browser is because it lacks the ability to make more than one button. So how can I extract the files that are present on a website? Sorry, like I said, I'm horrible at all of this. Cyfiero 02:59, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I have no idea what products you'd need. Google is wonder tool for something like that though. Do a search for "screenshots from insert console name here" and you'll likely find many forums and websites that will explain what what you need and how to do it. Scanner. A way you can extract files from a webpage is when on the page, go to "File" > "Save page as" and in the save as type drop down box, make sure it is set to "Web page, complete". In Firefox, you can access your browser cache by typing about:cache in the address bar. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:22, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Legacy 38
Hi JMAS, on the cover of Legacy 38, is the female fighting with Cade Azlyn Rae? If so, shouldn't she be added to the character list? Thanks.--Kigon 15:24, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm fairly certain that's Nyna Calixte posing as Morrigan Corde, not Azlyn Rae. But feel free to add her (meaning Morrigan Corde, not Rae) to the list. Be bold. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 22:25, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarification. I'll go add her (Morrigan) to the list soon. By the way, I think it was totally out of place for Gorthuar to be lecturing you about the TOR trailer speculation, you are superior to him and those who have been around longer know things and therefore don't need to be lectured. (I sorta just went on a lecture my self, didn't I? XD)--Kigon 22:39, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Re:Massacre on Tatooine
Ah, thanks for pointing that out JMAS :) I guess it should be changed in Anakin Skywalker as well.  JangFett  Talk 16:41, 8 June 2009 (UTC) > JangFett  Talk 16:46, 8 June 2009 (UTC) > JangFett  Talk 16:51, 8 June 2009 (UTC) > JangFett  Talk 17:24, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * It should. I'll tackle that. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:43, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, I'll change it back to "Annie". Though, "Ani" sounded right as well :P  JangFett  Talk 22:11, 8 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Also as a thanks for re-uploading high quality images for articles that I extensively edited. :) <span style="font-variant: small-caps; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 12px"

Could you change the head quote in the report of Commander Fox in the Clone Wars novel? -
