Me again
Hi, what's Palpatine's (not scarred) first appearance?

Is it Episode I or Episode V
 * Episode V. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:53, 21 July 2006 (UTC)

No Subject

 * Wookieepedia is becoming a manipulated and unreliable source of Star Wars information, I'm afraid. You'll be happy to know that I will know longer edit it, under any of my user names. Lucas Wolfdog 00:15, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * What?! Come on, don't do this just because I reverted some of your edits. You have plenty of good edits. Don't let this one thing make you leave. Wookieepedia needs good people like you around here to make sure everything is correct and to help make the place better. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:03, 22 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Wow, I wasn't expecting that apology. Maybe I was also too harsh for threatening to leave. Alright I'll stay a user. I just need others to read my suggestions and help cooperate. I tend to be a guy for cleaning up pages, trying to redirect or merge pages that are unnecessary, and delete those that I believe are just clogging Wookieepedia. I'm just trying to help clean it up (for example how i tried to make one page about heavy-weapons type clone troopers, instead of the separate clone heavy trooper and clone trooper heavy weapons specialist pages). But from now on I will try to get the approval of at least another Wookieepedian before I do anything too drastic. Lucas Wolfdog 01:26, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The thing with those is that we don't know if they are all the same type of clone trooper. Since they have different names and seem to be trained for certain purposes, they really should remain separate articles, that is, unless George Lucas or someone from LucasArts says "Oh yeah, those two types of clone troopers from those two games are meant to be the same". And thanks for staying. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:29, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Battlefront Characters
OK, here's my Battlefront II issue: If only the storyline is considered canonical, why do we even have articles on the playable character types? (For example, Clone marine, Clone engineer, Droid marine, etc.) Even if these soldier classes can be accepted as canon, don't they just cause even more confusion and frustation like disputed-canon "Clone Commanders" wearing the same armor as canonical "Galactic Marines", etc.? Lucas Wolfdog 01:38, 23 July 2006 (UTC)
 * The "only the storyline is canon" thing is confusing. That's the only thing that doesn't go against other canon. The types of playable characters in the game are canon, it's just their appearance that go against canon. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 01:50, 23 July 2006 (UTC)

Unknown Aid
Hi its Plokoonmastery here. It dosen't tell you who inplanted Darth Mauls Cybernetic legs after he gets sliced in half by Obi Wan Kenobi. Oh yeah, and thanks for the tip about the images.
 * You're welcome. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:50, 24 July 2006 (UTC)

Page is up, the info I worked with to create is cross posted from the TFn boards on my talk page.--Clone Commander CT-5619 SPHA-T comm system 21:16, 28 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Excellent. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 21:17, 28 July 2006 (UTC)

Question
Is my userpage ok? As in, does it comply with the "rules" of the Star Wars wiki?

Reply via my talk page pls.

Anakin Thomas 17:49, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

Dude
Don't they say things like...don't have too many images etc?

P.S I want a nifty signature, how do I get one?

Cheers

Anakin Thomas 10:54, 30 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Sometimes. And if you want to make your own signature, go to Preferences, User profile, and Nickname. In the nickname box, type in what you want for your signature. And also, please stop posting at the top of my talk page. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 14:20, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

Dude 2
Why do you keep changing the position of the Arc Hammer image? It's place is in the BtS section, and if you put it on the right (which you insist is 'better'), it's just shown BELOW the infobox, way beyond the BtS section. I don't know what resolution you have, but it definitely looks WORSE to me that way MoffRebus
 * How does it look to you like that? Because the way it is on mine, it's still right by the Sand Blasted information, and there's still space between it and the infobox. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:33, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * That's how it's shown to me... if you still think it's better... I rest my case :S MoffRebus 13:41, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, they're similar, but still, I suppose it wouldn't hurt by keeping it on the left. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:42, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * That's great we came in a conclusion. I still wonder how it showed to you though :) MoffRebus 13:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If I could upload pictures from my digital camera, I would show you. ;) Anyway, the locations of the pictures were very close, but there was a small difference or two. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:47, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Imperial dungeon ship
Thanks. Atarumaster88 18:43, 31 July 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:44, 31 July 2006 (UTC)

Seppie Droid army
No problem guy, I consider it water under the bridge. Though taht bobafett character was an odd one. Lowkey 23:53, 1 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I suppose so. I guess it's because I helped him out, and he was kind of returning the favor or something. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:42, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

Will remember in future

 * Thanks. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 13:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * No bother, ;-) Anakin Thomas 13:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Please don't bite the newbies
When you told that user not to remove images, it would have been more helpful to say, "I removed that image from (article) because it was poor quality and didn't illustrate the topic of the article," or something like that. When you said, "Don't remove images," it sounded like you were telling him "Never edit the images used in articles under any circumstances." A new user being told that may not understand why you're objecting to his or her edits, and might just come to the conclusion that the users here are very protective of their articles and don't really welcome new editors as a matter of principle. That's why I felt that I had to clarify your message. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 18:00, 3 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Agreed, remember, we are not wikipedia Anakin Thomas 18:01, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * ?? Not biting newbies is a policy or guideline there too. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 18:03, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I was merely commenting on the way Mr. Nebulax tries to run, or at least impliment the wiki Anakin Thomas 18:05, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * He's trying to insure continued high quality, which is a good thing: the message above was just to express my personal concern that he could be doing so in a more newbie-friendly manner. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 18:17, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * The thing is, the user had been removing tags and messing with pictures before the Boba Fett article incident. To my knowledge, he had already been warned at least once. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:26, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You were definitely justified in asking him not to remove that image, or at least explain why he preferred the painting of Fett in Jabba's palace to the ESB screenshot: it just might have been more helpful to be more specific in your criticism. In addition to coming off as less harsh, it would have helped him figure out how images are used here to begin with. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 18:40, 3 August 2006 (UTC)
 * True. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:42, 3 August 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for nominating me, Jack
Since I set some special comments aside for you, Jack, I thought I should post this here for you to read personally, though you can respond wherever you please. Here's what I said on my own discussion page:

Uhhhhh..... WOW! I'd like to thank the Academy...

Seriously, folks, believe it or not, I had no idea that there was even such a title, let alone that I was nominated for it more than once, let alone that I won or could win. To tell you the truth, I'm not even sure why I've won, because, as Eyrezer correctly pointed out, my work really has been limited to the Palpatine page. Sure, I've spread out some from there, but hardly enough, I would have assumed, to be nominated for a damned thing.

If I feel joy at anything, it's that so many people think my work has merit, including many with whom I've had some sharp discussions in the past. It validates me and makes me feel like I've made some small difference here in the almost-year that I've been a Wookieepedian. I thank all of you who voted, one way or the other (yes, selfishly, I'm glad for those who voted for me, but I'm just glad somebody gave two craps for me and had something to say at all, good or bad).

I want to thank Jack Nebulax, who continues to invent new naval ranks for himself to accomodate his meteoric rise to power, for being my proofreader, conscience, and both my ally and enemy, as the occasion warranted. But mostly, for always doing what most helped the article. After any large-scale work of construction, someone has to sweep up the leavings, clean up the mess, watch what the crew is doing, and I could ask for no better foreman than Jack. I've made many friends here, and of all those, Jack did not give his support to me easily or quickly, which is what makes it so valued to me now.

I also want to give a special note of praise for Kuralyov. Having learned about my previous nominations, I took the time to look at the voting records, and at no time has Kuralyov ever wavered from his convictions. He doesn't care for my work, and I'm genuinely sorry for that, but he understands why he doesn't (NPOV, non-encyclopedic formatting), and says so consistently, and he never wavers from that heartfelt conviction, which is guided by a love of Star Wars and the Wookieepedia that is the equal, if not the better, of mine. There aren't enough men of courage who stand firm in their beliefs, regardless of whether I agree with them or not. In this world, where, as Yeats wrote, "The best lack all conviction, and the worst are full of passionate intensity," people like Kuralyov make things better. We don't have to be in agreement for me to find him worthy of my respect and, if he will have it, friendship.

Once again, thank you all.

And I mean every word of that, Jack. Thank you. :) Erik Pflueger 18:48, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You're very welcome, Erik. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:50, 4 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Also, expect a promotion for me sometime in the near future... ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 18:51, 4 August 2006 (UTC)

Frikki the Hutt
Me and Sgt.pepper
 * So it's not a separate user? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 15:02, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

it's just a joke!!
 * No. It's sockpuppetry. -- SFH 17:08, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * And doesn't that deserve a block? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 19:14, 6 August 2006 (UTC)
 * We don't have a clear policy on that yet. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 00:27, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, right. Forgot about that forum. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Posting in the middle of discussions -- maybe I'm wrong
OK, maybe I'm screwed up about this. However, I was always under the impression that so long as the comments are short, and it's done in such a way that the readers can tell who's replying to whom, it's OK to post a comment in the middle of a discussion. When were you told not to do that? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 00:25, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Not long after I first joined, if I remember correctly. I don't remember the where, though. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 12:15, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

A favor to ask
I am working on merging the personal deflector shield and personal energy shield articles, and I was wondering if you would be so kind as to take a look when I am finished and tell me what you think. If you would, please let me know how I can show you what I see in the sandbox. - Angel Blue 451 17:32, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd be happy to take a look when you're finished. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:35, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I'm working on it in the sandbox, how do I show it to you? - Angel Blue 451 17:41, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * You mean the Jundland Wastes? Just type it in and save it, and I'll be able to see it. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:42, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Ok, it's up there.  What do you think? - Angel Blue 451 17:47, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * It looks good. The only thing that needs to be done is making the "D" in Droideka in the third image caption a lowercase "d". ;) Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:48, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, that's done. Now, do you think I should go ahead and use it to merge the two articles? - Angel Blue 451 17:50, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:51, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, I'll do that. Thank you very much for your help. - Angel Blue 451 17:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 17:53, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * My article is getting *sniff* merged! Good thing, too. Atarumaster88 03:00, 10 August 2006 (UTC)

Extra spaces

 * I wouldn't remove them if they were actually necessary. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 00:26, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * They are. As I explained in a topic that is now archived, I stated how removing spaces sometimes cause problems for me. Well, the "youmay" template is one of them that causes problems for me when there's no spaces separating it from what's next. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:37, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * How odd. It looks fine for me in MSIE 6 and Firefox. But it's a minor point, so I'll leave them be from now on. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 00:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Implogo.jpg|20px]] 00:40, 8 August 2006 (UTC)
