Upload question
Hey, thanks for the heads up, but I am a bit unsure how to upload on here. This whole wikia seems strangulated by harsh rules, and as I am not too savvy with the source codes and such, I find it hard to keep up. Could you explain to me how to get - or if I am allowed to in the first place - that deleted picture of me back? Or just upload it again but this time within the 'rules'? I genuinely am just trying to upload a picture of myself on my profile so I was not expecting copyright stuff to come up. I mean, I took the picture with my camera and its the same I use for my facebook profile, so I thought such images were allowed. If you could help me on this one, I'd be very grateful. Thankyou.

 * To reupload it and avoid any further issues, go to the proper upload form, Special:Upload, fill in the source, which can be something like "self-taken," select a license from the drop-down menu, and fill in the description, which should include the User-image template. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 20:41, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Image request

 * Whenever you get a chance, could you grab the texture for Double Helix like you did for Bio-Engineer Poster? Here is what the painting looks like in case you need it. Thanks! Gal-icon.jpg  OLIOSTER  (talk) 19:56, May 14, 2012 (UTC)

Evram Lajaie
Hello Culator, it would appear that you have access to the Star Wars Encyclopedia, if memory serves with my Cabbel GAN. Could you give me Evram Lajaie's entry? Thanks. Hanzo Hasashi 03:28, May 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * "Lajaie, Commander Evram A popular Alliance leader, he possessed expertise in space defense and orbital battle stations that enabled him to quickly analyze the plans for the first Death Star. After careful analysis, Evram Lajaie discovered a fatal flaw that made it possible for Luke Skywalker to destroy the battle station. (CCG)" -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 03:39, May 15, 2012 (UTC)

Meh
Howdy Darth Culator,

I am in disagreement with your judgement that there are no grammatical errors on the Squib article http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Squib. The grammar errors are that of the constant use of past tenses in each sentence as if the Squibs are extinct when there are clear descriptions (typed in past tense) that place the Squibs well into, and beyond, the Luke Skywalker era.

Is there a reason for all the past tense?

Mon Calamari Space map
Hi Culator. Could you please try and get a better resolution scan of this map from page 208 of The Essential Atlas? I particularly need the scan to include Chiron at the bottom of the map. Cheers. --Eyrezer 09:17, May 21, 2012 (UTC)

um wut
hi im getting strange of my name because its appearing in some MY username was Obi wan masterexxx10 from battlefront wiki that is the site that I contribute the most but why theres my name in some of the user pages note that I have a few edits and I only post messages about my name in user talk cell jedi why this is happaning? Obi wan masterexxx10 00:24, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think I recognize some of those words but I still have no idea what you're trying to say. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 00:33, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

Unused image
Hey Culator. File:Tython tor concept.jpg was deleted for being unused, but it was in use on Tython (there's a redlink image in the Flora and fauna section). Just wanted to let you know. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  21:59, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wasn't in use at the time. If someone didn't use it properly or tag it properly, that's not my fault. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 22:05, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Alright. Someone must have removed it around that time, since it had been on the page for a good long while. No big deal, though. Mind if I re-upload and re-add? - Brandon Rhea (talk)  22:08, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Oh, sure. You may want to use a different filename, though. The cache servers seem to be flipping out on replacing files the last few days. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 22:30, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Will do. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk)  22:57, May 23, 2012 (UTC)

Re: Uploads
Yeah, sorry. I went on that page because I hadn't been there yet, and I saw the image link was broken. I just assumed that it wouldn't be that way if a photo existed. &mdash; Eшσҡ  $їтӈ Lōяƌ

hmm
technically wrong, when cade gets more free passes then i do just because im new, thats faulty logic and you know it.. you know very well cade attacked me personally by calling me a "dipshit" i simply changed it to "cade is a.." and in my reply not once did i say any hurtful thing or swear, ergo when he changed the title to intelligble you didnt care cause oh "she added the section case is a..." ergo i kinda do... also knowing regulations and reasoning only a... well you i guess would block someone with neither a PROPER "timelimit" which is KEY, trust me it is having been admin on other sites before... and a warning for a first time offender that didnt even "attack" anyone until provoked which even then i didnt all i did was change the title of the section... also fi im blocked again for making these innocent arguements (not insults or even swears" in them then i really must question this sites admins (or atleast you) seeing as even green tentacle gives warnings... dont take offense to this by the way im just trying to understand why cade gets a free pass and not even a warning :/ i dont like when other users are treated better than new comers...

is this was for the star wars edit thing by the way, you didnt say that only that i "attacked" cade which i didnt until he did (and even then i only changed the title)

i admit in my reply i might have had a aggressive tone but thats just how i seem :/ Ultimate Law of Kaitlyn
 * Honestly, if Cade seems to be getting any "free passes," which he really isn't, it might be because he uses proper English spelling and grammar. We really like that around here. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 07:11, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

lol woooooooooooooow you really went there... huh? when did this discussion turn around and be about grammar? plus i spelt good, or are you saying i didnt use the widest range of vocabulary which is different ? XD as for grammar ya i guess but lol i only use good grammar when im actually editing articles, but wow you just sounded massively stuck up right there... but fine :/ ignore my reply and the actual points but as so you just admited if he got any free passes its because all you people care about is the respect from his edits on the wiki... if he wasnt getting a free pass youd atleast give him a warning (which id accept even if i got blocked still, being injustice but atleast hed get a warning) but wow sorry you just took me out of my mind when you brought up grammar.......................

you just... had to go there huh :/

you guys should try being more hospitable towards newbies :/ because you obviously scared me off with that attitude... ps: as for any possible spelling errors if i made any, they are typos at best, im not typing out random words that i dont know so my spelling is pretty solid, its just my grammar when i talk apparently that you find lame(?) lol Ultimate Law of Kaitlyn 07:25, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

Search Icon correction
Hey, Culator. Can you make a quick change to File:TrenchSymbol-search.png in the search icon lineup. It currently links to Trench when it should link to Trench (Admiral). Thanks. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 16:27, June 2, 2012 (UTC)

Question
How does one upload images to the Wikia? --HanYOLO 05:40, June 5, 2012 (UTC)

New HK
Eh... if it turns out the new content becomes available before 10/25, I'll get worried. Until then, might as well just leave it (also, if it turns out we're previewing the content, there should be a suitable note in the attribution) Enochf 16:13, June 10, 2012 (UTC)

Subpages
I don't understand what you saying. Please explain with a litte less technical talk, i'm still learning. Fire-lord (If no one talks thing out, how will we ever have world peace?) ; 02:22, June 16, 2012 (UTC)

Forms
Do you have forms on this wiki? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 11:56, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * No? — ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 08:23, June 18, 2012 (UTC)


 * Your question is not specific enough for me to give a useful answer. We have many types of forms. We have an upload form at Special:Upload. We have a whole category full of lightsaber forms. Our resident javascript wizard whips up AJAX forms for things like IRC cloak registration. What kind of forms are you talking about? -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 02:30, June 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * Forms for infoboxes. But latter I saw that you have this preload thing.— ¤ U LTIMATE S UPREME ¤ (T@lk) 09:31, July 5, 2012 (UTC)

JS pages
Hey Culator. /global.js only works from Community Central. To load a script locally in monobook, you can put it in /monobook.js. :) Cheers, grunny &#64; wookieepedia :&#126;$ 16:12, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well that's annoying. :P Thanks --  Darth Culator  (Talk) 16:13, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Since you're here, is there any way to have both types of purge buttons, the fancy new AJAX one and the old linky one? I was trying to pull that off earlier without realizing I was doomed from the start. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 16:15, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Wait, never mind, I see what you were saying now about opening the link in a new tab. Now, to migrate all this to my central userpage... Thanks! -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 16:19, June 17, 2012 (UTC)

Forums
I can't seem to access any forums on either monobook or the new wiki look. Whenever I manage to get there, it says the page does not exist. I found the archive for all the forums, and clicked on a random topic, and that too displays a page saying the content had never existed. Is it just my account that's doing this? Anyways, in short, there are no forums any more for my account. Thanks, 501st  dogma ( talk ) 17:04, June 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * As much as I would love to delete the forums, that would be too massive an undertaking for me and my bot to accomplish alone. (Rather, someone would have tried to stop me in the two days since your last forum edit, which is still visible on your [ contributions].) Everyone is currently unable to access the forums, because Wikia screwed them up. They're aware of the problem and we're waiting for them to fix it. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 17:24, June 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thought it was a wiki problem. Thanks! 501st  dogma ( talk ) 17:36, June 22, 2012 (UTC)

TOR search string query thing
Hey Culator; am I right in thinking you can do text searches of the TOR game files? If so, could I request a search of the term "Gree", but in relation to the planet itself, not the species? Or, if that's not possible, just any reference to the Gree will do and I can sort out the specifics myself. Thanks in advance. - Cavalier One ( Squadron channel ) 14:07, July 23, 2012 (UTC)

Some random thing
Why was my page deleted? I'm new to Wookieepedia and unsure as how to use things but the move is in the books by Karen Traviss and her two counterparts titled Legacy of the Force.

Abuse filters and how to make them
On another wiki, I had inadvertently volunteered my services for making an abuse filter. In a discussion involving how to deter people from uploading files called "Images01.jpg" or "bhdsj bc.jpg" or "37284728.jpg" or even "!.jpg," I suggested that an abuse filter be created that would block the upload of such images until the uploader changes the file name to something other than "P.gif" but I don't know how to make an abuse filter. I assume that it would involve a blacklist, and if any file name starts with anything in that blacklist, then the upload would be throttled and a message displayed telling the uploader to change the filename to something more descriptive.

That said... how do I make an abuse filter? I'm toying with the idea of using it for SWFanon as well, as I've seen more than a few dozen "Image-1.jpg" be uploaded and I'm quite frankly sick of nondescript file names.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:22, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Duel on the Temple of the Ancients
I'm thinking of re-nominating Duel on the Temple of the Ancients as a Featured Article. You think you could look it over first and tell me what you think before I re-nominate it. Thanks for your time if you can. DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 05:00, August 16, 2012 (UTC)

Galactic Timeline
Hello DarthCulator, I understand both you and Toprawa cleansed the Galactic Timeline (years) a few years back, deleting several articles. I have to wonder...why were they deleted? Was it because of being unsourced? Well just to let you know that I await an answer as I intend to revive those articles, this time complying with Wookie procedures and requirements. Winterz (talk) 16:48, August 16, 2012 (UTC) 1: Yes, those articles were deleted for being unsourced. If you can recreate them within proper standards then feel free, but your failure to spell "Wookiee" correctly does not fill me with confidence. 2: Don't edit comments like you just did. It's disruptive and dumb. 3: There's no such thing as a sourcing emergency, and I'll look things up when I damn well feel like it. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 01:19, August 20, 2012 (UTC) Changing one request to a completely different request (from a Flandorian flower in Star Wars Adventure Journal 8 to a grizel in Star Wars Adventure Journal 7) without adding a new comment is more than a simple correction, and if I really felt like being "aggressive" then you wouldn't even be able to reply any further, so I suggest you quit while you're behind. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 15:27, August 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Another thing came up. I searched and noticed you are the last active member owning a Star Wars Adventure Journal 7, I must ask you with emergency to check it out for a creature named Grizel indicating which section does it belong to. Thanks in advance. Winterz (talk) 23:49, August 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * Argh, there's no need to be so aggressive. It was clearly a request, which I decided to prioritize for myself, I wasn't 'demanding' anything of you. Some fail the "Kashyyyk", others fail the "Wookiee", I'm one of those that fail the last, so what? It's not like I'm asking for your friendship, I'm simply asking for your help in a common interest, which is to improve the Wookieepedia in overall terms. You know what, forget it. I'll find someone else more amiable. P.S. I'm sorry that you misunderstood me and thought I was trying to rush the aid out of you, that wasn't my intention. (Also, modifying what I incorrectly wrote isn't dumb or disruptive at all) Winterz (talk) 04:37, August 20, 2012 (UTC)

FacebookCite
Here's the first attempt and some examples. The formatting could probably use some tweaking so let me know any changes you want and I'll pick it up tomorrow. Green Tentacle (Talk) 21:26, August 22, 2012 (UTC)
 * GT, that's fantastic. As far as I'm concerned, it's ready to go. It even does exactly what I was thinking with the archive vs. original links. Thank you. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 15:00, August 23, 2012 (UTC)
 * Have another look at the test pages. It now takes a substring of the archive parameter. If it starts with http://, it treats it as an external link; otherwise the link is assumed to be the name of a file on Wookieepedia (minus the File: prefix) and an internal link is added. Green Tentacle (Talk) 17:13, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * Just want to note that that setup will fail if someone uses a secure (https://) URL. &mdash;MJ&mdash; Training Room</b> Saturday, August 25, 2012, 17:31 UTC
 * Changed to look at the first four characters. Just don't upload any images starting with "http". Green Tentacle (Talk) 17:42, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

Keyan Farlander
Why did you revert my edit on Keyan Farlander? DarthRevan1173 (Long live Lord Revan) 23:01, August 24, 2012 (UTC)
 * Because it was removing perfectly valid information that was presented in an acceptable format. X-wing was Farlander's first actual appearance, retcons notwithstanding. To say that Episode IV was his first appearance is deceptive to the reader. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 14:22, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

Head to Head book
Okay, do you know of anybody who has that book in their posession? Star Wars the clone wars head to head. Im not a pirate, I just want like a book review, jeez. 65.111.164.53 04:44, August 25, 2012 (UTC)
 * What you asked for was "character match-ups, ALL character stats,and of course the victor" with "ALL" in caps, so basically you were asking for the entire contents of the book, not just a review. And honestly, I have no idea who might have a copy. The [ history] of the book's article has very few editors, and very few pages link to it, so it doesn't appear to be very widespread. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 14:22, August 25, 2012 (UTC)

Bug
Not that I wanted to come here, but anyways, I was unsure where to report technical problems so will do it here as I understand you have programming knowledge, dealing with the scripts and all. I've noticed that these two articles, James Mason and Jay Laird, are considered Orphan pages even though they're linked to a third article, Do or Do Not, for a month now. So well I think this is possibly a "bug" and someone might be interested in looking into it, if not well then it's not even my role, you do as you like, just though it could be important to report it. Winterz (talk) 16:11, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * None of those articles had been edited for at least six months, so it could be some kind of database lag. I did a minor edit to each of them to poke the database, but the orphaned pages list only updates once every 24 hours. If they still show as orphaned after the next refresh, I'll contact Wikia. Thank you for reporting this. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 17:32, August 27, 2012 (UTC)

ANH screenshots
Hey there, Darth! JangFett said here that you could get screenshots from blu ray edition of the Star Wars movies. A New Hope to be specific. I got these two&mdash;first at 1h 01min 05sec, the second 1h 53min 51sec&mdash;screenshots from my dvd version and I wondered if you could get them in higher quality. I need at least one of them for my Hand of Judgment FAN project. Both of the pictures have seen a lot of cropping to cut out all the unnecessary and in this case unwanted people. Thanks for any help you can give.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 18:33, September 4, 2012 (UTC)

Deleted picture
Hey there,

Could you re-upload this picture? I'm not sure why it was deleted without me being noticed. If it wasn't properly sourced, you could have just asked me to address the issue.

Thanks in advance. Alexrd (talk) 16:51, October 9, 2012 (UTC) So, could you re-upload it?
 * The issue is that unless an image labeled as "promotional" is very obviously some alternate version (advance media release, printed on paper, ultra-high-res, etc.) of a frame directly from the film, it needs to have some verifiable source other than the film itself. If you can provide a source, the image can easily be undeleted. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 16:05, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure. My point is that if there was an issue, you could have just asked me to rectify. It doesn't benefit anyone simply deleting the image without any warning. As for the source, it came from The Phantom Menace - Pepsi Style Guide. Alexrd (talk) 17:15, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * We don't have a page for that, and I can't find any reference to that title or several variations thereof with Google. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 17:49, October 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * Proably not, it's exclusive press material. You can find some of the content on one of these: Alexrd (talk) 18:50, October 10, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks in advance. Alexrd (talk) 17:02, October 12, 2012 (UTC)

AbuseFilters
By request, I wanted to briefly talk to you about and try to ease your concerns over me and the AbuseFilter. I have zero intention of making any substantive changes to the filters on my own other than what there's already consensus for (i.e. handling reports at Spamfilter problems). The only other way in which I might do something unilaterally is if I see a way to reduce false positives or false negatives without hindering the intended functionality of the filter, and even that is likely to be discussed with at least one other admin first. Any other substantive changes would be discussed with at least several admins first, if not the community at large as I did at the Mofference (and yes, I would have gone to the community there even if I was already an admin at that time). Also, I just looked over the current list of filters, and I see none at this time that I have any issues with that I would want to change. Let me know if you have further concerns or want to discuss further. Thanks. &mdash;MJ&mdash;</b> Jedi Council Chambers</b> Tuesday, October 16, 2012, 19:02 UTC

Concerning "Decisions of one" and related articles
I don't bother whether you like me or not. Earnestly, now, could you have a look at all those articles around the novel "Decisions of one"? In my opinion, there is alot of fandom there. Quite a lot. Only fyi, no pun intended. You may resolve it or not. --Riverworld (talk) 04:18, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * Um... what? Honestly, I can't understand what the heck you're talking about. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 05:06, October 17, 2012 (UTC)
 * I think he means Choices of One. He has been complaining at least about Vaantaar, which I've been working on.--Dionne Jinn (Something to say?) 09:25, October 17, 2012 (UTC)

Tech question
Hello DarthCulator. I've noticed in two CANs, Green/Aura and Green/Besh, that they're connected to the 'prefix' Green. While in most cases the / applies as a way to specify that something is related (or part of) to its prefix article, it really isn't this time. For that, I wanted to ask you if there's any code or something that would disable the 2 CANs connection to Green in the articles' body (by that, I mean making the "< Green" disappear). Thanks in advance. Winterz (talk) 18:56, October 20, 2012 (UTC)
 * Not that I know of, but that is a good idea. I'll have our JavaScript/CSS gurus look into it. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 14:52, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

Meeting 53
Hey Culator,

An early heads-up that Inq Meeting 53 has been scheduled for Saturday, November third at the usual time. Hope to see you there, and if not, be sure to leave some notes beforehand. Cheers. Menkooroo (talk) 12:15, October 21, 2012 (UTC)

A hat is raised
Actually it is I who thank you and Green tentacle, for looking into and eventually creating it. Good work, I raise my hat to you both, you're very important to the Wookiee (got that right, this time!) and even though most of your work goes unnoticed (considering you spend a fair amount of time in codes and scripting for this Wiki), I just wanted to say that I for one, do notice and recognize it. Also, thanks for the cookie. Winterz (talk) 02:54, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
