RE: Opinion
I do like the fact that the suit is in full and without the distracting background, but her edges are still a bit pixel-y. I don't know if that would pass Culator's quality-glasses, but I will give it a shot. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  16:48, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm barely active. I don't really care that much if he does. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  16:58, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Nice job with following up with this, JMAS. Greyman ( Talk ) 17:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:
Bah, I wanted the TIE pilot tee shirt to win. "No shields, all guts." That poll was as fixed as the NBA. At any rate, piping is the white lines on the seams of Captain Kangaroo's red suit. In all seriousness, I had no idea what the heck it was, either. Graestan ( Talk ) 04:34, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Template question
Hey, JMAS. Thanks for bringing that concern to my attention. Off of the top of my head, I'm not 100% sure how to rig it, or if it's able to be rigged like that, but I'll copy the code onto a test wiki and fiddle with it to see what I can do. Cheers, Greyman ( Talk ) 14:33, 7 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, JMAS!
Hey, JMAS. Thanks for your work on the Davin Felth image. It's much sharper now. Nice job. :)
 * No problem. My pleasure. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 20:00, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Duplicate Images
You're so quick. I actually realized it after the fact, and I'm in the process now of trying to delete the one I uploaded. I wanted to have it all fixed up before you got to me, but I'm too slow. And besides, I'm having an issue trying to figure out how to get rid of the one I put up. Can you help me out? Thanks,

Tommy 19:09, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

 * Thanks, friend.

BTM images
Hey, JMAS, I've noticed you've been adding a lot of BTM images as of late. I was wondering if I could put in a request for a particular image from that program. In one of the image galleries, there are a number of photos of the early wampa costumes that were used in scenes eventually cut from ESB. I would love to be able to add a picture of one of these costumes to that article's BTS. If you could grab one of those, I would really appreciate it. Thanks! Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:20, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

Secret Apprentice

 * Hey JMAS, This is Purplegethos. I added a cool picture of him and you deleted it and the kinda messed up the font on the page. Why? User:Purplegethos 15:35, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Simple. It was a tiny image for one. And secondly, there isn't room for it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 15:36, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Its a really cool pict though, I photoshoped it and added some cool color. There is SOME room for it... User:Purplegethos 15:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * That in itself is reason why it cannot remain. By adding color using photoshop, that image is now fanart, and fanart is not allowed on Wookieepedia. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 15:40, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh... Didn't know that. Thanks for telling me. User:Purplegethos 15:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Question
Hey, Could you tell me how to make a userbox? Thanks! User:Purplegethos 15:56, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Better than I could ever explain it, I recommend going here: Userboxes. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:04, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for letting me bother you. LoL User:Purplegethos 16:06, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Behind the Magic
I noticed you're adding Behind the Magic to the source list for a lot of articles lately, which is good, but you seem to consistently add it at the head of the list. Since the manual of style says that the source list should be in publication order, this is wrong: in particular, BtM should be listed after most West End Games sources. Thanks, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 20:55, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, sorry bout that. I didn't realize there were in publication order. I just thought they were random. Thanks for letting me know. I'm remedy that. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:34, 21 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for fixing all those (and for adding stuff from there in the first place.) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 18:45, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Image:Saelt-Marae2.jpg
Could you please provide a proper source for Image:Saelt-Marae2.jpg? Because it's currently got a false source on it. Thanks, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 01:13, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it's not a false source. It is a promotional still from Return of the Jedi. But I've more accurately added the source I found it from, the website of the actor who portrayed Saelt-Marae. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 12:45, 22 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It was a false source, since "Star Wars Episode VI: Return of the Jedi" implies you got it from the film itself. Anyway, thanks for providing the source and for cropping the image. :) -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 13:03, 22 March 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, quick question
But my scanner is acting up. Purplegethos 21:00, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey JMAS, sorry to bug you again, but I was wondering if it is allowed if we take a picture of a star wars movie or game and post it on wikia if that person doesn't have a picture or it can help us see what he/she looks like. I am asking you b/c you are always come up with cool pics. GJ btw. Purplegethos 17:45, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * If I'm understanding your question ... you are asking if it's allowed to take a screenshot of "Joe Bloe" from a licensed Star Wars game/film/TV show, and post it in the article for "Joe Blie" where that article doesn't already have an image of the character. Is that right? If so, then yes, as long as it is a screenshot from a Star Wars licensed product/source. Things not to do though: 1. Take pictures with a digital camera off of a TV screen or monitor. Those will be very poor quality no matter how nice of a camera you use. 2. When taking screenshots from computer games, they are only allowed in the main article space if they are canon images, meaning not from cut scenes/alternate endings, etc. Hope that helps. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 17:55, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It does. Thanks man! Purplegethos 18:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * JMAS, would I be able to take a digital picture of a comic book of star wars of acharacter and post it for their thingy?
 * You can try. Though scans are preferable, and if one of our resident comic scanning gurus like Redemption have the comic, they'll most likely overwrite yours with a scanned image. What character and what comic are they from? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 18:46, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
 * When they were Brothers, It is of Assaj Ventress. The book has it that she has a mechanical eye, and I want to put that on wikia. It is a big not having an eye. LoL. I will upload pic and give it to you.

Chronicles pictures
Hi, I know I asked about this some months ago and you replied that it was difficult to extract from the book but you'd try. I was wondering if it was possible to get some of the capital ship side-drawings (or ship drawings in general) scanned from the book, or if the pages would be ruined in the process. Thanks! VT-16 16:03, 3 April 2008 (UTC) I am very sorry, VT-16. There is no way to get a scan with all of them on there. Not even just the Acclamator and Venator. The page is just too big to get it to fit on the scanner. What I'm going to try next is taking and actual digital photograph with my Nikon D70 camera and see if I can get that to turn out. I'll keep you posted here. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:31, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It would be difficult. But as long as it won't damage my books at all, I'll try for ya. Even if I have to try taking a high quality photographic picture of the pages. Which specific ones were you looking for again? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, the one I'm really looking for, is one with the Acclamator, Venator and Imperial shown to scale. The rest are reproduced elsewhere, and I will try to get some from the SW:CL book I have myself. :) VT-16 18:43, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do. Might take a few days. I've got to find where the books are stored as we've been re-arranging things and putting things into storage lately. In case I get distracted one of the many things on my plate, if I don't have something for ya by the end of Saturday, remind me here please. :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 19:37, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure thing! :) VT-16 20:05, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's nowhere near the end of Saturday, but I thought I'd just give you a heads-up. ;) VT-16 16:41, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * LOL Thanks. I just found the right bin they were stored in last night. Been at work since 5 this morning. I'll see what I can get for you tonight. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:54, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, thanks alot! Your collection of SW related books seems extensive if you have them filed like an archive. VT-16 17:00, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, thanks for the update! :) VT-16 08:51, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey hey, how'd that camera thing work out? VT-16 15:53, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Still trying various methods. It really is more work that I originally thought it might be. You have to set the book somewhere on a flat surface, then open the folding page, place something under the page so it lays flat and not bent. Arrange it so that I can stand over the book looking straight down so the picture doesn't look like it's taken at an angle. That's just setting the shot up LOL. Then the built-in flash always puts a big sunflare right in the center of the image. So I've now borrowed a friends flash and will try using that by angling flash upwards at a 45 degree angle. We'll see if that works. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 15:59, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Great! I appreciate it! VT-16 17:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I've noticed that the Behind the Magic picture of the ISD seems to be the same as the one in the Chronicles book. There's no need to add it to the picture. Hope that makes it a little easier. :) VT-16 09:18, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

Screenshots
Hi, why did you replace http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Th_SW_EP4_0510.jpg ? Because of the too flashy colors, I suppose?... Klow 10:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Two reasons
 * 1) The image is a sharper, HD screencapture.
 * 2) The color is better. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 00:43, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * And it was a good idea. My color settings are a bit weird, I should fix them. By the way, I saw other HD screenshots on the website. How did you manage to have a HD source while it doesn't exist yet?...Klow 17:19, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure it exists. It was played in HD on Cinemax back on 2006 I believe it was. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 19:03, 7 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I see... And how come you have them? You recorded them?...Klow 20:10, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Reverting page move vandalism
Hey JMAS, in the future, don't copy-and-paste the article's contents when reverting page move vandalism. Doing so wipes out the edit history for the article.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 17:27, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, I'm sorry if I screwed it up. Good to know and noted for future reference. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 17:30, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Chronicles
Would you be able to reupload a better version of Image:Pablo-Jill Action (2).jpg from Star Wars Chronicles: The Prequels? Thanks, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 19:53, 10 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Here's what I could do with it. The image just has a bunch of JPEG artifacts in it. I did what I could with Photoshop to edit them out. I keep working with it to see if I can make any more improvements. Hopefully, it will meet the requirements for FA for ya. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:10, 10 April 2008 (UTC)

Death Star Article
Hmm... I'm not really sure how that happened but it was definitely an accident. I used the preview button but somehow must have overlooked the deletion; I'll be more careful in the future. Thanks. Starknights88 04:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Fool's Bargain

 * I removed Fool's Bargain from the 21 ABY section of the New Republic Era as it already was in the 22 ABY section and the page of the book says 22 ABY. So why did you bring it back and say that 22 ABY in is this era as that was not the issue? Chris 15:50, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Your edit summary said "Removed Fool's Bargain as it is in 22 ABY" which I interpreted to mean you simply removed it from the page. I was unaware it was already in another section of the article. Misunderstandings like this can be avoided in the future by being just a little more descriptive in the edit summary. Thanks. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 15:54, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Image source
JMAS, according to the history logs, you first uploaded this image. Would you mind listing the source from it? Thanks. Atarumaster88  ( Talk page ) 23:08, 13 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I don't know that it's an official source, but the website where I found it years ago, and it's still there is BlueHarvest.net Publicity Stills. I put that it in the image as a ROTJ publicity still found at that site. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 05:27, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Unnamed Articles
Thanks for the heads up.Tank 16:35, 14 April 2008 (UTC)

Otana?
Hey JMAS, I recently uploaded an image of the Otana and inserted it into the article. I saw that you nominated the image for deletion (I didn't realize it was a duplicate, so no issue there) and reverted the article to remove said image. The reason I added that image in and made it the main infobox pic was because it's the best shot of the ship and includes the full ship without it being cropped, which the current one does. Would you have a problem with me revising the Otana article to include the image I accidentally duplicated as the main? Don't want to step on toes here. Brandon Peat 14:06, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I agree with you. I went ahead and cropped down the original version (we'll leave your's for deletion as it was slightly lower quality), placed it in the Otana article and took the previous infobox image and placed it into the YT-2000 article. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:22, 15 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Brandon Peat 14:37, 15 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Wampa image
Thanks. :) Wampa was my first FA and I worked really hard to get that baby up to snuff. It's my first FA, so suffice to say, I'm proud of it. :) Yes, I have Wildlife and know exactly what picture you're talking about. I think it would look nice in that section, too. Feel free to add it. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:28, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Images
Thanks, JMAS,

I didn't think it demonstrated a dual phase blade too well either, other than the fact it was Corran's. Thanks for the hookup. —Tommy9281 ( Lússë i Morë Hwesta súya! ) 21:46, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Glad to help. :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 21:56, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Gallofree
Hey, JMAS. I reverted your edit to Gallofree because we're not doing galleries anymore. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, I hope there's no hard feelings or anything over this CT. Disagreements happen. I just happen to strongly dislike the appearance of galleries, but oh well. That's what makes arguments fun in a way - you argue over something and then go out and have a beer with the guy...or in this case, a virtual beer? :P Toprawa and Ralltiir 05:53, 22 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No worries. :) I honestly didn't think this would stir up such a fuss. LOL. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 12:03, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Saying Welcome
Hello again JMAS, just wondering if you could tell me how to put the welcome template on new users talk pages, also thanks for the welcome on mine - Kingpin13Cantina Battle Ground 14:06, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * It's pretty easy. You simply type your_username . -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:12, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, when it says your_username does that mean type the username of the person your posting it to, or your own username? Kingpin13Cantina Battle Ground 14:15, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yours. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:18, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, see you around - Kingpin13Cantina Battle Ground 14:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

Re: Sola Hus
Sorry, he is called Sola Hus, I must have made a mistake. I will correct this Tom rules 20:32, 24 April 2008 (UTC)--
