Technical request
Hi, just to let you know, that the page you requested to customise a section of Special:MultipleUpload is now active. The page is at MediaWiki:Multiplefileuploadsummary. -- sannse (talk) 20:10, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh cool! Thanks sannse! That page works better already than with the  oken summary from the original page ;)  —Xwing328 (Talk) 20:52, 21 August 2007 (UTC)

Computer
I just wanted to thank you for (most likely) unintentionally resparking my Gundark's-fueled War on Stubs. I had become kind of lax in my little mission, and your edit caused me to check why I was watching the Computer article and discover my edit summary from earlier this month. In any case, thanks again! --School of Thrawn 101 05:05, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol, you're very welcome :) —Xwing328 (Talk) 05:10, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

FAN Objection
Hey Xwing, I believe I've addressed your objection to Kith Kark. If you could review it, and strike as needed, it would be appreciated :) Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 21:38, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks! —Xwing328 (Talk) 05:07, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

Whistler
Hey, Xwing, could you have Whistler run through and remove all spaces surrounding em dashes? That'd be a great help, thanks. Havac 18:15, 2 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey Havac! Somehow I missed this message. I'll go add it to the script. —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:38, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Droid
why the hell was you droid editing my user page? in the future can make sure this doesn't happen agian thanks  Dark Lord Xander  ( Embrace The Dark Side! ) 07:47, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry for blasting you earlier i tend to get a little jumpy when someone edits my page after a couple of people left some rather offensive things on my page another user explained what happened to me and i realise it wasn't intechional  Dark Lord Xander  ( Embrace The Dark Side! )[[Image:Neo-Crusader_emblem.svg|20px]] 08:01, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Episode I Adventures
I'm just wondering Xwing, if you have access to the Episode I Adventures books. It's just that I need someone with them to help me out a bit with the Rugor Nass article. Thanks, Thefourdotelipsis 08:19, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Only the first three, and he doesn't appear to be in those. Sorry. —Xwing328 (Talk) 23:14, 5 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah. Shame. Thanks anyway. Thefourdotelipsis 07:43, 6 September 2007 (UTC)

Inq meeting
Hey Xwing, we are having an meeting for Inqs soon, and your attendance/input would be greatly appreciated. Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 02:23, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

Sourcing images
Just to clarify, when it comes to screenshots from the Droids cartoon series, we want the source to be the specific episode, rather than just the series. Regards, --Eyrezer 05:53, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I know. I guess I just figured something was better than nothing, since I didn't know the specific one. My apologies. —Xwing328 (Talk) 15:54, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol, that is true. --Eyrezer 22:15, 6 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Have a look at this edit. I've noticed a couple of times Whistler has done this. I think it occurs if the |author is before the |source. --Eyrezer 23:24, 7 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hmm, I noticed this before, but I still haven't found a way around it. Hopefully the script is worth more than the trouble it's causing. I'll look into some more fixes soon. —Xwing328 (Talk) 03:54, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Hehe. It's funny how things just come to you sometimes. The fix is actually pretty easy. We'll see how well it works. —Xwing328 (Talk) 05:22, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll have to take your word for it! I have no idea how the bots operate, all I know is that it works! There are a couple of times I've done work that I now realise a bot could have done and so realise useful they are. Keep up the good work. --Eyrezer 10:03, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey thanks for creating System :-) --Azizlight 13:38, 8 October 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem. I'm happy to help! —Xwing328 (Talk) 21:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Information template help
I'm trying to get the info template to work on Futurepedia and it's presenting me with a template form that is unalterable and it is bugging me how to make it work. Could you check it out and see what's wrong with it? Link is w:c:bttf:Template:Information. [EDIT: It's working on one image page but blank on another.] --  Riffsyphon  1024 21:26, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * It looks like you might need some of the css code from MediaWiki:Common.css. Right now, I know you don't have the stuff for the rounded top and bottom templates. So you'll probably need to copy over the rtop, rbottom, and any other infobox classes that you don't have yet. Let me know if that helps. —Xwing328 (Talk) 21:33, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, you were using capital letters for the field names (ex: Description=). They are case-sensitive and are currently lowercase in the template. —Xwing328 (Talk) 21:37, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Dave Land
You sure Dave Land's real name is David? - Lord Hydronium 05:31, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Unless they're two different people who do the same job, yes. It's in multiple different issues of the comics I added to his page. —Xwing328 (Talk) 05:34, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I just wanted to make sure he had actually been called "David". Thanks for obliging me. - Lord Hydronium 05:57, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Picture
Hey Genome4824, is this picture a picture that you took yourself? Otherwise, can you please list the source on the image page? Thanks a bunch! —Xwing328 (Talk) 15:17, 24 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I did. SW Weekends 2005 the week ROTS was released. No Prob GMo &gt;:M:&lt; 00:45, 25 October 2007 (UTC)

Picture request, if possible ;)
Hey Xwing. I was curious if you had a good copy of Star Wars Legacy 4: Noob? I noticed it on your collection subpage, but was unsure if you had it or not since it struck through. However, if you do have it, I'm looking for some cleaner/better quality scans of the following: According to Imp's objection to Harkas on the FAN page, the first two images are distorted. The second two he said he could let slip by, but would ideally like to see better scans. I only have an ecopy of it, and it's not the best there is. If you're able to help out, it would be appreciated. Cheers, Greyman ( Paratus ) 15:07, 19 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Image:Harkas.JPG
 * Image:Harkas3.jpg
 * Image:Harkas2.jpg
 * Image:Harkas and Trask on Ossus.JPG
 * Hey Greyman. Sorry, but I don't have that issue. The struck-through ones on my page are the ones I don't have yet. I don't see what's wrong with those two images, and all I have is a low-quality scan of it, too. Good luck! —Xwing328 (Talk) 18:20, 19 November 2007 (UTC)

327?
User:Xwing327. Hmm. &mdash;Graestan ( This party's over ) 05:59, 4 December 2007 (UTC) Don't worry, he's not an impersonator. - Brandon Rhea 06:06, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol, I've been wondering how long it would take for a copycat nickname to appear. Hopefully this one will be a legitimate user. Thanks for the warning. —Xwing328 (Talk) 17:52, 4 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I beleive he's made quite an impact (in a negative sense), at Star Wars Fanon. --  AdmirableAckbar  [Talk] 18:08, 4 December 2007 (UTC)

Template:Information
Hey, Xwing. We need some of your expertise to make the new category fields of Information hideable. Could you lend a hand? --Imperialles 15:21, 8 December 2007 (UTC)

Pywikipedia bot error
Hey Xwing328. I tried setting up my new laptop to run C-3PO...and I'm running into that login error that popped up months ago. After confirming that the password is correct a number of times, login.py continues to fail. Do you remember the fix? -- SparqMan  Talk 22:09, 31 December 2007 (UTC) Swell, that did the trick. Now I just need to get category.py to actually run instead of just printing the contents of the script when prompted with "category.py move". Grr. -- SparqMan  Talk 20:35, 2 January 2008 (UTC) Seems like any syntax attempt is generating print. I'll fiddle around with it. -- SparqMan  Talk 23:56, 2 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey SparqMan. Find the line that looks something like  Change the   to   and it should work.  —Xwing328 (Talk) 22:18, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Try  I haven't moved any for awhile, but I think that's the right syntax.  —Xwing328 (Talk) 21:31, 2 January 2008 (UTC)

Inq meeting
There will be an Inq meeting on the 12th/13th at 0:00 UTC. Graestan ( Talk ) 03:31, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Bot stuff
Is the "Cleanup, Formatting, Template fixes" thing a custom-written script? I notice it hasn't been run since September, and I'd like to use it on a few pages on a case-by-case basis now that I have a working bot. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 06:51, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it's custom written for fixes.py. I'll see if I can clean it up some, then I'll post it so you can work with it if you want. —Xwing328 (Talk) 23:58, 7 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I just added the main portion of the script to User:Xwing328/Pywikipedia. Add it to your fixes.py file. You can run it on a specific page with:   —Xwing328 (Talk) 00:42, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Excellent, thanks. And I have just found that the line  needs to be removed if you're running a recent Pywikipedia SVN version or it crashes. --  Darth Culator  (Talk) 01:27, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I usually just have it commented out. I guess I've never actually tried running it with nothing between the brackets. —Xwing328 (Talk) 02:51, 8 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah. I just ran it like it was on your subpage. Either way, it works. That's all I care about. Thanks! :-) -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 03:12, 8 January 2008 (UTC)

Wookieepedia:Published Works Improvement Project
Do you mind if I help make articles for the redlinks in Cloak of Deception and Darth Maul: Shadow Hunter?-- Darth Skirata   ( Talk ) 23:55, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I would appreciate it. Thanks! —Xwing328 (Talk) 23:57, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. -- Darth Skirata  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk ) 12:02, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

New bot issue
I know I must be getting on your nerves by now, but can you look at and tell me why it's adding that div all of a sudden? I haven't updated my SVN copy of pywikipedia since before the 1.12 upgrade, so it's somehow related. At the very least, it should be possible to code a find-and-replace string that will delete it when found, but my attempts to do that have failed. Thanks! -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 03:49, 24 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I haven't been able to figure out why it's doing that. I tested mine, and it doesn't seem to have that problem, and I haven't updated pywikipedia in quite some time. Here's a line to try messing around with in fixes.py. I'm not sure where all of the \'s for escape sequences need to go, but if I have time later, I'll test it out:   —Xwing328 (Talk) 15:07, 25 January 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, well this line will work, but it might give you false matches, which would be pretty annoying (ie: it'll say it found a match and delete it, but there won't really be anything there). Hopefully somebody will update Pywikipedia if this doesn't work:    —Xwing328 (Talk) 20:29, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Inquisitorius
If you're interested in continuing to be a part of the Inquisitorius review panel, please step up your activity on the Featured article nominations page. If for some reason you are unable or unwilling to do this, I ask that you please step down as an Inquisitor, thus opening a slot for other potential Inq candidates. Thank you. --Imperialles 14:36, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Inq request
It would be very much appreciated if you could take a look at Citadel Station's FAN. It's only got one more vote to go before it can become Featured. Thanks in advance.-- Goodwood  ( Alliance Intelligence ) 01:34, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll try to get to it after 5 today. —Xwing328 (Talk) 16:27, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks mate.-- Goodwood [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 17:39, 4 February 2008 (UTC)
 * If the issues surrounding Falynn Sandskimmer's nomination have been addressed, would you mind striking your objections? Thanks. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 00:57, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I struck the main bullet - figured that would show that I struck all of them. But I'll strike the rest to make it more obvious. —Xwing328 (Talk) 03:36, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I appreciate it. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 03:41, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Mailing list
Hey, Xwing. I've set up a private administrator mailing list to help coordinate the current administrators of the site, and I am attempting to contact each administrator to get them to subscribe. You can subscribe here. My point with setting up this mailing list to get all of the administrators of Wookieepedia operating on the same page, and in a more unified fashion. Regardless of any personal differences that may exist between some members, I still feel that it is important that we are all operating on the same level, with regards to knowledge of the site, and new/upcoming stuff that is going to happen&mdash;so, basically, this is an attempt to coordinate us all in an effort to help keep us on the same page with regards to new policies, new ideas, announcements, discussions, etc. In my opinion, we're all on the same team and this will only help us to be a more organized and cohesive working unit&mdash;even more so than we currently are. I've already spoken with a few admins via IRC, and they have liked my point of this whole thing, and have thus signed up&mdash;I would really appreciate it you could do likewise :) Any questions about this, you know where you can reach me.

Inq meeting
Hey, just letting you know that Meeting Sixteen has now been scheduled. Your attendance and input would be appreciated. Cheers, Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 04:11, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Published Works Improvement Project
I think you should put Star Wars Episode I:The Novel under past projects. It only has one redlink. Cactuar83  ( Yoda's Hut ) 23:14, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. —Xwing328 (Talk) 02:38, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you add another project to the list? Cactuar83  [[Image:Gngf.jpg|20px]] ( Yoda's Hut ) 23:08, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure thing! —Xwing328 (Talk) 04:03, 12 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Also could replace Dark Rival with something? Cactuar83  [[Image:Gngf.jpg|20px]] ( Yoda's Hut ) 14:22, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Request
Hey, Xwing. I noticed on your collection subpage here that you have listed Star Wars Insider 26, 27, and 28. Now, I assume since you have them struck through that that means you have them? :P If you do happen to have those three, I'm looking for an article that spans the three of them in a three part series. If you do have them, could you let me know? Thanks, Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 23:51, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey Grey, the ones struck through on the list are the ones I don't have yet. Sorry :( I'll have access to 28 once I go home next Saturday and can get you whatever information you want from that. —Xwing328 (Talk) 01:21, 24 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Could you get your bot to change all links to "A Resistance Within" to "The Resistance Within"? Thanks, --Eyrezer 11:57, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. —Xwing328 (Talk) 15:48, 29 April 2008 (UTC)
