Please stop editing these articles, as I am in the process of working on them. Thank you. Grand Moff Tranner (Comlink) 19:18, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Since you edit what I've edited, fine to me... Alexrd 19:35, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

If I may interject, the point is that you have blatantly disregarded one of the header templates of the article, which politely asks you NOT to edit the article, as someone is performing on-going work on it. This is why you are being reverted. Please stop.  OLIOSTER  (talk)  19:47, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

WP:TCW
Hey Alexrd. As project head for WP:TCW, I'm trying to get a better idea of who's still interested in participating in our project. If you're still interested in participating, please leave a note on my talk page or contact me in IRC. If you do not respond within a week, I will assume that you are no longer interested in participating. That doesn't mean that your name will be removed from the "Participants" list, but it means that any of your current projects will be removed from the project page so that others have a chance to work on them. Likewise, if you currently have any projects under your belt, I highly encourage you to review them, and if you don't plan on working on them within the next two or three weeks, I recommend reconsidering them. Thanks. Your project head,  CC7567  (talk) 05:51, 3 July 2009 (UTC)

Warning
Please do not upload duplicates of existing files, especially if they are of lower resolution/quality compared to original. Thank you.  Mauser  Comlink 11:00, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * The quality is better, although it has a lower resolution. Alexrd 11:03, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Nahdar
Hey Alexrd, thanks for checking with me on the infobox issue. While I like the image, I agree with CC and Cav that it's currently insufficient for the infobox. I appreciate the suggestion though, and if you find any others you think may work don't hesitate to make a proposition. Darth Trayus  ( Trayus Academy ) 01:47, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Re: Season 3 episode articles
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. They're canon; the source has just been recently removed from the Internet and is under investigation.  CC7567  (talk) 20:24, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Really? Since I haven't seen any source (and thought the summary was very strange), I thought it was fake. Sorry then. Alexrd 12:23, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

TFU II art
Just wanted to let you know that "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II" official art this image is not sufficient. It's not an official source at all in point of fact. You need to provide a link from where you found it, or something else more specific. The same issue came up with promotional images for ROTS. People were putting the film as the source, when in actuality, a neutral background promotional image cannot be sourced to a film. Just wanted to give you a head's up. - ~  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 16:34, October 14, 2010 (UTC) I have more pictures, if you don't mind I upload them. However, I still haven't found any other unrestricted site with these pictures available to everyone. Alexrd 00:23, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Fixed. I wasn't sure if it was worthy to put the link, since not everyone has acess to the server. Anyway, Activision is the official publisher of LucasArts in Europe. Alexrd 23:40, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
 * So you work for Activision? Is that how you were able to access the image? Because you're right, when I click the link, it requests a username and pw, which of course, I don't have. - ~  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 00:01, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, I don't. However, I have found acess to the server. This is mainly promotional material, that is usually used by magazines. Alexrd 00:08, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Mind sharing how you found access to the server? ;) ~  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 00:11, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * Through a third party. ;) Alexrd 00:19, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I was afraid you were gonna say that. LOL ~  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 00:20, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd love that, but I wouldn't recommend it. The site isn't meant for file sharing. However, if you have the ability to put them into a zip file, and then upload that to a site like MediaFire or Ziddu that would work well. Then you could just email me the link. - ~  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 00:39, October 15, 2010 (UTC)

Warning
While your edit is appreciated, the page currently has a template called Inuse at the top. This template means that someone is currently working on improving the article, and to avoid edit conflicts, no one other than the placer of the template should edit the page while the message is visible. Thank you for your cooperation.
 * Didn't noticed it. Sorry. Alexrd 23:07, March 5, 2011 (UTC)

TFU2 artworks

Blu-ray uploads
Just for comparison, this is an actual Blu-Ray capture. This is your upload of the same frame. This is another actual Blu-Ray screenshot. This is your corresponding version. If you do not immediately recognize the difference, please cease uploading film screenshots immediately. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 12:58, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Of course I recognize the difference, there is no need to be rude here. I've only read the uploading notes after I've uploaded those. I was not sure if I should upload a full-res picture because I've been warned before that it makes the page slower to load. That's why I uploaded at 720p res. Alexrd 13:03, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Loading times aren't really an issue. When the image is used in an article, it gets recompressed into the same size thumbnail regardless of the source size, and people click on the link for the full-size image because they want quality. The main problem isn't the resolution, anyway. There's also a noticeable amount of macroblocking which reduces the effective resolution even further. Macroblocking is usually a sign that your editing software has its JPEG compression turned up way too high, or your source has been recompressed from the original MPEG-4 stream. --  Darth Culator  (Talk) 13:13, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Shouldn't we use PNG's, then? The macroblocking may be due to PNG to JPG conversion. The screenshots I take are converted to a minor resolution and to a different format. Alexrd 13:19, September 17, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Title
It's for the community to decide which is the "right" formatting of the title and which is the "wrong" one. Almost always when you see "Star Wars The Clone Wars," there's a non-visible colon that's still present. I understand the urge to make sure everything is formatted properly on the site, but such conduct should not go against WP:CON, which is what the CT is determining right now. Please therefore make sure to reserve any more discussion about this to the CT where applicable. Thank you.  CC7567  (talk) 01:19, December 27, 2011 (UTC)

Ep I Insiders Guide
Hi there, do you have a copy of the Episode I Insider's Guide? If you do, would you mind looking through it for any mention of this guy, or if there is just a picture of him? Thanks, and May the Force be with you! Corellian PremierAll along the watchtower 21:47, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Yes, I do. I can check it out tomorrow and let you know if I find anything. Alexrd 23:35, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
 * Turns out there is no info about that droid. The only OOM droid on the Insider's Guide is OOM-9. However, I can upload a better picture for that article if you want. Alexrd 22:38, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much, that was the last source I needed to check...as for the picture, I like the one that's there now. Corellian PremierRobotech.jpg along the watchtower 23:02, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
 * The picture I have is from the movie and has better quality and resolution. Alexrd 13:02, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
