My Zekka Thyne featured page nomination
Hey, my name's Colin. I've been working very hard on the Zekka Thyne page for a featured article nomination, and as of right now, I've added all the pics and info I can get my hands on, read and reported on all the material the character is featured in, and addressed almost every concern that's been voiced.

The only thing that hasn't been addressed is that the article is lacking specific information about the Star Wars Galaxies missions Zekka assigns. Unfortunately, I can't find that information anywhere online, and since I haven't had a SWG account in years, I can't log on and find it myself. I'm hoping somebody will add that eventually, but in the grand scheme of things, I think it's pretty minor information, and would argue it shouldn't hold up its nomination.

I've been told the nomination has potential but doesn't have the votes, and that I should ask some people to review it for me. (I haven't actively asked people yet; I've never really gone through this process before.) I was hoping maybe you'd take a look at it and see if it's worthy of a vote from you? Or give me any further suggestions? I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Jawas: Bad or Good?
Hey, I'm doing a project on a satirical wiki and was wondering if you could briefly shed some light on whether or not Jawas are bad or good? I'm a fan of star wars but unfortunately am unable to remember... --GlennBecksATool 16:31, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I can't talk to you. I find your username offensive. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 16:34, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Gee, sorry I've offended you. Thanks anyway. --GlennBecksATool 17:02, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Anonymous Cloud city stormtrooper
Thanks for adding an images to my new article.--Windu223 23:05, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Glad to help. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 23:11, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Recetn vandal
Isn't it time someone did a usercheck on this guy? I would, but whenever I use the one on the block template, it shows the site in a foreign language. -- SFH 23:17, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Kitchen
Hullo. Recently, I brought up a thread that asked some general SW questions, and it has come to a point where I and DarthMRN were wondering whether there should be an article on kitchen. I, personally, would like you opinion on the matter, as you've had more experience in this sort of thing. Here is the link. Just look a little above the confusing numerical list. Thank you for your time. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  01:40, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

Nominated
Imagine! It's the 13th of 30 days, and Darth Culator is still far ahead of the competition in the Wookieepedian of the Month honors for July. Let's rally out a win for Culator. Remember what he's done for us. Maybe locked some pages, maybe he overadministrated, but he put an end to Quinlanfan's march. That's just one of many things. Whoever nominated Culator should be Wookieepedian of the Month for August. Jediknight19bby 20:37, 13 June 2007 (UTC)

New GA pic
I am thrilled that you put that art up on the Wookieepedia. Could you possibily help me out? I would like the "main" center Scythe portion of the pic to be cropped so that we can make that the main picture for the Scythe page. Same for the main CF9 Crossfire. Can you help with this? As many will attest, my computer related skills are not exactly impressive. :-) AdmiralNick22 14:17, 14 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Can you crop the CF9 Crossfire pic from Legacy #13 for use in the CF9 article? Also, it appears that the main scan of the GA fleet in formation from #13 is of poor quality. If you look closely, it is clear that it was scanned in two parts. It is a bit "uneven" near the plant and the '"Scythe'' is two toned. Can you replace the current one with the clearer version you put up in the first place? AdmiralNick22 01:13, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

Question regarding Open Proxy/Zombie Computer
Hey. I've got a quick question about Open Proxies and Zombie Computers. What are they and what do they do? If you don't know, that's OK.

&mdash;P.S.: Doesn't the thought of a "Zombie" Computer cReEp YoU oUt? --

Inq
Hey Darth Culator. I was wondering, if you get a few spare moments, could you take a look over Dace Diath and let me know if there's anything that you think needs to be done? Thanks for your time. Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 05:09, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

SuperSaiyaMan
SuperSaiyaMan has contacted me via IM with some concerns over his treatment by you. I've been out of the loop on Wookieepedia issues for a few months, so I obviously have not been privy to his actions here. Can you fill me in? He seems to believe that you were harassing him and banned him when he tried to call attention to it. In reviewing the discussion on his former talk page, the way in which he was treated by you (name calling, provoking) doesn't seem to be mature or responsible for an administrator. Can you bring me up to speed? Thanks. -- SparqMan  Talk 16:42, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * It's quite simple. He tried inserting his personal bias into a biographical article. The article consists of "this is who this person is, this is what his position is." At no point does "and this is why he's wrong" enter into the valid contents of a biographical article.
 * I then semi-protected this article and several related articles, seeing them as fertile ground for trolls.
 * After doing some research, I determined that this newly-registered "SuperSaiyaMan" is a known troll with an anti-Star Wars bias.
 * He refused to drop the issue, and made it abundantly clear that he had no intention of contributing usefully. When he saw that I was the primary impediment to his attempts to soil Wookieepedia, he began to harass users who were completely uninvolved with his dispute.
 * That was the point at which I blocked him. He's a troll, plain and simple. I had to block him on AIM because he tried harassing me there, so I suggest you do the same. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 16:55, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

My User Page
Darth Culator, could I please have my userpage back? I promise you, for the first month, I will not touch it. I hope, by the end of the year, that 80% of my edits will be to the main section. I check my editcount every day. Jediknight19bby 15:18, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I won't let you down. I will use the power to control my user page with great caution, hardly using it. I guess it was like a Jundland Wastes Sandbox to me, but, now that I know how to do everything, I don't need to use it as much. Jediknight19bby 18:55, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Padmé Amidala article
Can I get you to protect the Padmé Amidala article from anon/new user editing. An anon keep adding nonsense. Thanks - JMAS 03:45, 28 June 2007 (UTC)

Subst

 * If the template is subst'ed, it can't be changed in the future without going through each and every page to fix it. jSarek 01:13, 1 July 2007 (UTC)
 * It's not meant to be fancy. It's a pointless piece of crap because it's meant to be a pointless piece of crap. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 01:16, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Sourcing
Hey Darth Culator, I was wondering if you had a source for this statement:

"George Lucas has stated that Luke has the same Force potential as his father, which is why both Darth Vader and the Emperor were willing to turn on each other to gain Luke as their apprentice. Luke is said to represent Anakin's full potential, if Anakin had lived to achieve it rather than suffer the horrible fate that made him more machine than man. Lucas further measures that Luke's Force potential was twice as powerful as Emperor Palpatine."

- From Luke Skywalker's article

If you do, I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks. -- Jaina Solo  ( Talk ) 16:21, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Congratulations Lord Culator, you earned it several times over. Joker1138 ( Mandalore ) 15:26, 1 July 2007 (UTC)

Image protection
Can you protect Image:Boba Fett NEGTC2.jpg please? Redemption continues to revert the image to the higher res scan that he uploaded that chops the image off on the right. I'm of the belief that when choosing between smaller but complete image and a higher res, but incomplete image, the full complete image is preferable. If you agree with that, would you be so kind as to protect the image? The image I want to upload right now is directly from the artist website. However, I don't want to upload it for risk of breaking the 3RR. - JMAS 04:13, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Stass Allie pic
Hey hey you were too fast! I improved the picture and was going to put the "no source" message beneath it. I was just looking for the template, and you didn't even give me the time to finish. That's not fair! Klow 15:53, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't upload pictures without sources. Period. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 15:55, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't say "period", please. I was not done yet. I was just trying to help and you didn't give the time to finish. If you don't want this pic which is not great anyway, whatever, I was just trying to help. You should have deleted it a long time ago, with many other unsourced pictures that have been staying on the site for a long time. Klow 15:58, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Don't upload pictures without sources. Period. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 15:59, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * T'es vraiment trop borné toi, j'abandonne. Les choses ne sont pas toujours noires ou blanches, elles sont parfois grises. Oui, je sais, tu ne comprends pas le français. Et si c'est le cas, eh bien tant mieux pour toi. C'est dommage, j'aime vraiment bien ta page d'utilisateur. Klow 16:21, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * 1: English is the official language of Wookieepedia. 2: Things may not always be black or white, but sometimes they are. 3: Be careful, or Jaymach will try to make you a translation slave. 4: Don't upload pictures without sources. Period. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 16:25, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey this is getting funny. Jaymatch already asked me and showed me what was to be translated, but I don't have enough time, not that I wouldn't like it. But the task is too huge. Maybe later. And I spend a lot of time fixing images summaries, adding the sources, and from time to time replacing some images by better versions. I also think that putting sources is important, just as you. 3 seconds after your deletion this picture would have had its source, you have my word. Klow 16:39, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I just get twitchy with the delete button sometimes. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 16:45, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Great, you finally understand me! :-D But don't worry I'll be more careful next time. And if you see this again and realize I'm the author of this apparent mistake, just wait a couple of minutes. ;-) Klow 19:05, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks.
Thanks for going through Talk:Venator-class Star Destroyer and changing the image in my signature. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 19:43, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually I asked to use his bot to go through every page linked from the (now deleted) Implogo.jpg and change it to Image:Implogo.png, I just had to edit the ones that were protected or semi-protected. --  Darth Culator  (Talk) 20:11, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah. Still, I appreciate it. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 20:26, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

CT question
You wrote in the "galaxy vs. Galaxy" CT, that you are going to close the CT in two weeks' time. If I start replacing "Galaxy" with "galaxy" before you shut down the voting, would my edits be a violation of the Manual of Style? BTW, I would like to ask you to either respond on my talk page, or in the relevant CT thread, as I am not sure I would remember checking your talk page. Thanks. - TopAce (Talk) 16:38, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The CT is now closed. Sorry about the delay. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 02:29, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

OK, sure
Ban me then, Mr. Admin. Darthtyler Talk 02:12, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Thank you, Darth Culator. Darthtyler Talk 02:36, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

Xizor
I asked a question in the knowledge bank and when I went back too check it I saw that it had been deleted. I posted it two other times and the same thing happened. I looked at the deletion log and saw that you deleted it because it broke KB rule 4. I assume KB means Knowledge Bank. Knowledge bank rule #4 is No wild fan theories. I just asked a question about something in the comics. How is that breaking rule #4? Thanks Anzati02 19:52, 14 July 2007 (UTC)

Deleted image
I noticed you deleted Falcon-chased.jpg as a duplicate image. I couldn't find the image it was duplicate of, or I wouldn't have uploaded it. Would you mind telling me what the image name was that was duplicated? - JMAS 00:47, 18 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I saw it. - JMAS 00:49, 18 July 2007 (UTC)

Inq meeting

 * Darth Culator, we are having an meeting for Inqs this weekend, and your attendance/input would be greatly appreciated. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 15:40, 25 July 2007 (UTC)

Tenebrous link.
Sorry about that; didn't realize it was lowercased. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 13:27, 30 July 2007 (UTC)

R5-D4
I've no clue how to back check upload logs, so I can't tell on my own merits...but did you ever get a chance to upload that R5-D4 screen? --School of Thrawn 101 04:39, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, I found it. Thanks! --School of Thrawn 101 04:42, 9 August 2007 (UTC)

IRC Ban
After you booted me off IRC, I tried to get in and it says I was banned from the channel. What did I do wrong? Clark Kent300 22:22, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * We've told you before to shut up about Scrubs but you continued to spam the channel with it. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 22:24, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Editing Problem

 * I'm having a problem making a lightblue link to Wikipedia on my userpage: there are two spaces after it that I have no idea where they come from. Could you please check it out? I can't find the problem. Cm56327 01:28, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Cm56237
 * You were addressing it as an external link rather than an inter-wiki link. I corrected it for you this time, but you can go here for more information. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 01:39, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks a lot! Cm56327 01:59, 22 August 2007 (UTC)Cm56327

User:Olsonman
First off, he has a userbox stating he's 10. Second of all, he contributes heavily, nearly exclusively to his user page. Could you protect his page and remove the userbox? Thanks,  Jediknight19bby  ( Jedi High Council Chambers ) 21:05, 22 August 2007 (UTC)

Anon to watch

 * Hey, I'm likely to be away from a decent computer through the weekend, so I'd like to ask if you'd keep an eye on Special:Contributions/71.10.72.23. He's made a heck of a lot of dubious edits, several that I've had to revert, though none yet that have been openly vandalous.  jSarek 21:25, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

XM-1 Nova Wing
A new argument against the MIS FA is its name "XM-1 Nova Wing". GreenTentacle would like a source, I over looked this issue, as I do not know its source. I've checked all my TIE Fighter manuals, the game, and X-wing Alliance (game). I have not yet receieved my XWA:OSG, perhaps it's in there, but I don't know where else to look. If I don't get a source soon, I will be moving the page to "Missile Boat" and removing XM-1. Can you help me out?--MIS Tau 1 23:06, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

Your AWB edits.
Darth Culator, I have a question about your edits. Is there any specific reason why all those spaces need to be removed? With the spaces gone, it's kind of harder for me (and perhaps others, but I don't know) to edit. In addition, is there some new policy that says there aren't supposed to be links in image captions? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 00:35, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Inq meeting
Hey Culator, we are having an meeting for Inqs soon, and your attendance/input would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 02:11, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Additions to ship infobox
Love the recent additions, but I was wondering if a few more could be added, specifically "first seen" and "last seen". Like on the individual ship infobox. :) VT-16 10:19, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't know that "last seen" would be that useful, given the multi-millennial lifespans of some classes. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 11:41, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
 * That's exactly why I'd like to see it, to know their lifespans and stuff. :) VT-16 20:48, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

My deleted images
Hi, I see you've deleted some images I've uploaded. If I were to upload them again and put them onto a temporary user sub-page of mine until I could put them into the articles proper, would that count as vandalism or would it be fine? Firebird 04:48, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Is this right?
After looking into your new rant section, I believe you have your canon-Galaxies comparison mixed up in regards to the Selonians. The same name was used for two characters, one being Selonian, the other being Human. --  Riffsyphon  1024 17:10, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * The point is that the human one is apparently not supposed to be a different character, and they clearly have the technical means to give her the correct appearance. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 17:15, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah I see. --  Riffsyphon  1024 18:29, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Benfury.jpg
Mind if I ask why you reverted he image? I got it from the same source. It's from the Audio book cover instead, and doesn't crop off his hand or the lightsaber emitter. - JMAS 23:56, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * A, because it's slightly smaller, and B, because the audiobook cover has slightly different colors which feel wrong to me. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 00:04, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Usergroups??????????
Im new to the Star Wars wiki and i was wondering, are there any star wars usergroups???????

TheDevilMayCry 06:40, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

annoying name?!?
Hi. Just asking. You deleted the image Image:Günbatımı.jpg because it had an annoying name. Did you move it? If not, could you bring it back. Honestly, I don't even remember what it was. But I don't think the deletion was fair. --Steinninn 21:30, 12 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Please bring the image back. --Steinninn 04:23, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Inq Meeting Twelve
Just thought I'd let you know that our first regular monthly meeting will be held on Saturday/Sunday the 20th/21st at 0:00 UTC, which is 8pm Eastern due to Daylight Savings Time. &mdash;Graestan  ( This party's over ) 02:38, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

Quick question
Mind if I ask what was wrong with the NEGVV Xwing image I uploaded today? - JMAS 03:22, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Did you actually look at them? One looks like a picture. The other looks like a collection of dots that are trying to look like a picture. It takes surprisingly little effort to take an image from paper and make it look like it belongs on a screen, but you never seem to make that effort. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 03:28, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Really frustrated
I would like to know why was reverted my edit of the Imperial I-class Star Destroyer. It was done is response to the opinions of various users expressed in the talk page, in which I also explained myself. I cited sources and didn´t contradict what the article said before, but instead tried to harmonize it with other pages in the Wookiepedia (mainly the list of ships of the Imperial Navy), lefting the phrases almost untouched. I think what I wrote has enough canon support (except the speculation about the lack of SSDs, but that paragraph is more about Operation Shadow Hand than ISD, anyway -I´ll understand if only that is deleted). The only problem I see is I forgot login in (I thought I was already logged). Please, put back the changes or at least give me some explanation. This was my first edit and having it reverted without a word in a matter of minutes is frustrating and -as long as I see it- unfair.Jon Valerius 14:11, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Space station shots
Congratulations on having your screenshots used without your knowing by WOTC. :D VT-16 13:19, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Kannen Doom
Hey. Thanks for the note. I didn't realize it was linked to. It probably should have had a tag. Nevertheless, I've since re-uploaded the pic. If you see me make a similar mistake, let me know again. --Eyrezer 00:16, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Hissa pics
Here's a list of pictures I would appreciate you scanning:


 * The one of Hissa saluting to Trioculus in The Lost City of the Jedi - Chapter 3.
 * The one of Hissa in the dramatis personae type thingy in all the books.
 * The one of Hissa holding Ken hostage in Mission from Mount Yoda - Chapter 8.
 * The one of Hissa's limbs melting in Mission from Mount Yoda - Chapter 8.
 * Maybe a rescan of Image:Hissahover.jpg also.

If there's any other good detailed pictures in the three books I've got in e-book form, please also upload them (a death pic would be awesome). Thank you very much for your help. --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 20:11, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Done and done (by Ozzel) and done and done. Others will be up tomorrow. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 02:29, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Here's the death scene. And Lord H3O+ already did the hovering one. It just needs to be cropped differently for different applications. Any other specific requests, or should I just pick a few more at random? -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 03:56, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for all the images. I think I've got enough now, but if I need any more I'll let you know. Thanks, --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 13:22, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

Re:FA stuff
Thanks for the image, and for the Hissa stuff. That's been sorted now, if you'd like to take a look. Cheers, --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 20:57, 10 November 2007 (UTC)
