"horrible quality"
Come on, it's not that bad. I took it directly from the game files and lightened it a bit. Klow 08:08, 9 July 2008 (UTC)

Re: OFOW
Hey, JMAS. Good to see you back around the site. As for your question, there is no specific set number of votes necessary to move the process along. If there is a specific one that you're interested in, feel free to post it on the Administrator's Noticeboard, or approach an admin to take a look at it. Cheers, Greyman ( Talk ) 22:20, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Really? I'm an admin!? Wow, I learnt somet'in new, Pa! :P lol...what I meant to say was a "more active" admin, since due to some RL stuff I won't be around the site much in the coming days/weeks/months. However, what's the contact information for the moderator of that website you mentioned? The vote on the OFOW seems complete, so an admin just needs to contact the mod about it now. I'll take care of it, as a favour for you :P heh. Feel free to email me the mod's contact info, and I'll take it from there :) Cheers, Greyman ( Talk ) 22:40, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem at all; sorry it took me a day or two to sit down and archive it. Greyman ( Talk ) 21:25, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

TFU trailer pictures
Just wanted to let you know, if you want to take any screenshots from the new Force Unleashed trailer, here it is in HD. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 17:52, 10 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That's awesome. Thank you. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 17:57, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

The covers
Well, maybe you're right. The trick is - the ones uploaded by you a year ago are the same ones uploaded by me, simply resized to hide the imperfections of the original scans. You must Know this since we're taking them from the same source. But I agree with you: from now on I'll only upload new versions of the ones that are currently split in two. You may resize them if you want (even 1200px is still high-res), but I will put them in the articles and nominate tha halves for deletion. Agreed? Mauser 19:28, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, BTW, I see you haven't erased Jedi Trial, Cestus Deception and Dark Rendezvous covers I've uploaded so far. Thanks for that much but you should also consider letting Dark Lord Japan live. Just make it twice smaller in size and you'll the quality of the halves that are currently on the page. Mauser 19:49, 11 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:
Thanks for the offer. :) I usually have one or more noms up on either the GAN and FAN pages at any given time. If you ever want to give them a gloss over at any time, certainly feel free. I think I've got two noms up at the moment. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:50, 11 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Ok, image request for you. :P You might be able to grab this from Behind the Magic, in the "Scene by Scene" feature for TESB. In scene 20, shot 3, there's a picture of Kesin Ommis standing next to Hobbie during the Rogue Squadron briefing scene. I'd like to stick that in the Ommis article. Toprawa and Ralltiir 14:22, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it's just immediately after that. It's the point where Hobbie says, "Two fighters against a Star Destroyer?" You can see Ommis standing on his right. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:15, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Neimoidian brute
Hello, I was browsing through some articles and came to the Neimoidian brute page and I noticed the picture from Threats of the Galaxy you had uploaded. I'm not sure that is the proper place for the image because the brutes being described are physically altered to be hulking, mindless beings. The one from Threats doesn't fit in. Personally, I wonder if this particular brute might actually be a Duros, though he is sitting in a mechanical chair. Maybe the picture should be moved to a separate article; after all there are articles that are very short. Xzylongann 06:15, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * While I agree, he is a little scrawny for what I picture a brute to be, that image is meant to be a Neimoidian brute. The mechno-chair is a primary reason for this, plus Neimoidians are, as yet, the only species to be labeled with the name "brute." So until another source labels that image as being a Duros instead of a Neimoidian, it should stay where it's at. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 11:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Now we are at an interesting point, the ROTS game picture was removed by an administrator probably because there was not text to support both pictures. If you have no objections I am going to move the picture from Threats to a new article called unidentified Neimoidian brute. Xzylongann 23:10, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

TOTJ
Hey,

Welcome back, and I have a request of you. Do you do TOTJ images? If so, I can use a couple of scans please. Let me know either way, thanks. —Tommy9281  ( Peace is a lie ) 21:33, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I certainly can, but Redemption does better scans from comics. I would suggest ask him first. If he is unable, or unwilling, then I can certainly give it a go for ya. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 21:59, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but that route is unavailable to me. I can up the quality of them myself, I just need them. I recently lost all of my scans, and I'm trying to get them back. I'd greatly appreciate your help, however. I need alot, so I'll need you to tell me how much is too much. RSVP, and thanks for the reply. —Tommy9281 [[Image:Red lightsaber.png|20px]] ( Peace is a lie ) 22:03, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * OK then. What do you need? As long as it won't break the spine of my TPB's, I'll be glad to help. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 22:10, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll start small. If possible, for starters, I need all of Tales of the Jedi 2: Ulic Qel-Droma and the Beast Wars of Onderon, Part 2. I'll stop there for now. You can email them to me if that works (I'd appreciate it too). Thanks! —Tommy9281 [[Image:Red lightsaber.png|20px]] ( Peace is a lie ) 22:13, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Small? All of... as in you need every single image from the comic? Wow. OK. That's collected in Tales of the Jedi: Knights of the Old Republic (TPB) which is what I have. So I'll just start scanning pages from it at 600 dpi, not do any editing at all, and let you do whatever editing you want from those. That sound all right? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 22:26, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * That sounds perfect! Thank you so much for that. I'll be indebted to you for this, so your tab is open with me. —Tommy9281 [[Image:Red lightsaber.png|20px]] ( Peace is a lie ) 22:28, 16 July 2008 (UTC)
 * How'd that go? —Tommy9281 [[Image:Red lightsaber.png|20px]] ( Peace is a lie ) 18:32, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * It's going to be a while. Considering what you're asking for, I'm not wanting to break the spines of my TPBs to get full page scans, so I've got them on order at the library. They should be in tomorrow or the next day at the latest. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 18:54, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Cool, thanks. —Tommy9281 [[Image:Red lightsaber.png|20px]] ( Peace is a lie ) 18:59, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Does Photoshop = Fanon?
Recently, I uploaded an updated version of Bane 15.jpg which photoshopped out an extra insignificant guy in the background which, according to Talk:Darth Bane, was found to be distracting. The main content of the picture was the same, it just focused on that. I found that my change was reverted by another user with the edit description "Photoshopped = Fanon" and you commented on my talk page not to upload a duplicate of the same picture (which I interpreted as meaning that the picture was basically the same and shouldn't be reuploaded). I'm very confused about this result. I looked through Guide to image use as you suggested, but it doesn't say anything about photoshopping images. If you could please shed some light on this, I'd be very obliged. -Thunderforge 21:25, 17 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I didn't realize you had edited the image, when I posted the Duplicate Images template on your talk page. As I understand the policies around here, editing out a text bubble or box in the background of an image is acceptable. However, editing out an individual, as you did, would not be considered acceptable. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 21:40, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

Image:SatalWithAmulet.jpg
Hey,

If possible, do you think you could provide a better scan of this image Image:SatalWithAmulet.jpg for me please? If not, that's fine, but if so, I'd greatly appreciate it. Let me know, thanks.-- —Tommy9281  ( Peace is a lie ) 20:16, 22 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 22:49, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

Sig
Hey. I vaguely remembered such a rule, but I choose to ignore it for now. If an Admin asks me to change it I will gladly change it. But for now, I think I'll keep it. Jacob Nion  ( Personal Comm ) 01:07, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:

 * You're welcome. Glad I could help. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 14:38, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Syal

 * I don't recall Betrayal stating that Syal was named after her aunt. Do you have a source for that or am I mistaken? Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 13:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Honestly, I can't recall exactly where. I'm almost certain I've read it, where it's mentioned that Myri is named after Mirax (or a nickname she had) and Syal after her aunt, which seems fairly obvious anyway. By placing it where I did, I wasn't intending the sentence to also be included in the Betrayal reference, any more than the first sentence of that paragraph is from Betrayal. But I as I can't recall the exact source, I guess I'll remove it. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 14:04, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. FWIW, as Syal's parentage is mentioned in Betrayal, that sentence is ref'd from there. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 16:07, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Released books
Is there some rule they they have to stay on the "Future books" list even if they're already out? Dangerdan97 23:06, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * They're released already? My mistake. I'm heading out the door right now, so go ahead and remove them. Maybe put in a more descriptive edit summary saying why you are removing them might help from now on. :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:14, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

Lak Sivrak picture in BTM
Hi there, JMAS! I was just wondering where exactly you extracted that nice picture of Sivrak from. I searched my Behind the Magic twice and still no sign of that image. :-) Perhaps I'm just blind. Could you, please, tell me WHERE did you get it? Thanks a lot. -- Darth Paulus  ( May the Force serve you well! ) 08:21, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * I can't tell you how to navigate there through the program, since I extracted all the image files from the program itself. But it's in the Cantina Patrons subsection of the Main Characters area. Hope that helps ya. :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 11:48, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, thanks, pal! I now figure I'm truly blind... ;-) Still, I don't understand how did you make that tiny ugly image into that big and beautiful one... :-) -- Darth Paulus [[Image:JaingHead.svg|20px]] ( May the Force serve you well! ) 13:26, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Not sure what you mean by big. I just took the extracted image which was was 640x425px and cropped out Dice Ibegon. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:40, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Strange. In my copy of BtM there is no image of Sivrak and Ibegon together (only a small gallery of cantina patrons' intro page). Maybe it's just in the program itself... Anyway, thanks for help.-- Darth Paulus [[Image:JaingHead.svg|20px]] ( May the Force serve you well! ) 13:59, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Out Foxed
No need to apologise, it was an understandable mistake. However, the I, Jedi article is technically correct: it's the only novel to be written in first-person, but a fair few short stories -- including Labria's and Ephant Mon's and lots of WEG stuff -- have been written as such. Also, Goodwood is currently banned for about another week, so he may be slow in replying. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 00:23, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Image Rescan
JMAS, could you rescan Image:Gistang.JPG and Image:Gistang.jpg, and perhaps give them new file names please? Imp asked me to rescan them on the FAN page to get Jes Gistang FA status. Thank you. DC 01:26, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Done and done. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 02:08, 7 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks again. DC 05:07, 7 August 2008 (UTC)

Raid on the Iziz Royal Palace
Hey JMAS,

I was wondering if you could scan a better copy of Image:Iziz Royal Palace.JPG for me please. I am unable to do so on my own at the present moment. If you could, that would be great, thanks!-- —Tommy9281  ( Peace is a lie ) 20:28, 12 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, were you able to get that for me? Don't mean to be a bother, just curious is all. Thanks. —Tommy9281 [[Image:Red lightsaber.png|20px]] ( Peace is a lie ) 01:19, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll try and get it tomorrow afternoon after I get off work. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 03:59, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, scanner is offline at the moment. I'll get it for you when I get back from this weekend. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 04:20, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Hello, need Help.
Hello;

I am Kgrimes2... and I saw your userpage and noticed that you stated that you specialize in HTML. Could you please, if you get a chance, clean my page up?

Also... is there a guide to all of the userboxes? If there is, please post the HTTP page on my discussion page.

And about your info side bar... can you give me the HTML to that and insert that into my page as well?

How do you get that little emblem next to the username on your signature?

Thanks! P.S. Sorry, I'm a N00B to WookieePedia! &lt;~Kg®imes2~&gt; 05:38, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

can you help me MAKE A USER PAGE


 * Sorry JMAS if I'm using your talk page to answer the question; If you want to create a userpage, create an account, then create a page for what you named your account. Cheers. DC 21:51, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem at all DC.

Kgrimes2,
 * 1) I would recommend reading this and be certain that your user page is not your primary contribution to Wookieepedia, which as it stands, it is your only contribution.
 * 2) This will show you how to make custom userboxes. And these are template userboxes.
 * 3) On HTML, yes, I know a fair amount of HTML, enough to maintain my own website. But I am by no means an expert.
 * 4) Info side bar? If you mean the infobox, this is what you need.
 * 5) And since I don't have any emblems in my signature, I'm not sure you mean by that. But here is instructions on how to make a custom signature. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 22:12, 19 August 2008 (UTC)

About the JMAS test
Yes,you got me, I am indeed addicted to wookiepedia. But...what can I do for that? :)

What is that think you are holding in the pic of your main page?

Can you tell me how did you made your userpage having color?spartan-53 Darth Odysseas 13:38, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * That is the foot of the AT-AT at Disney's Hollywood Studios in Orlando. And I'm assuming you mean the color on this talk page? I just copied the code from someone else who had this and then changed the color to my own. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:54, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Unidentified Cantina Patron pics?
Can you please help get those uploaded for every ANH patron? I don't have the software for it. Many of them have the times they appear onscreen in the SE DVD. 71.217.5.241 20:51, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

TIE shuttle image
Hey, JMAS. I'm working on the TIE/sh shuttle article, and I saw you uploaded Image:TIEshShuttle.jpg. I can't seem to find this picture in Star Wars: Chronicles anyplace. Are you sure this is where you got it from? Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:58, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right. It looks just like one of the bomber images, hence why I mistook it. I've removed the source from the image. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 22:57, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Any idea where it might come from? This kind of puts me in a bind now. :P Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:13, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm looking. But no luck so far. I'd stick the one from the old SW.com databank in the infobox. The one currently near the end of the article. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:15, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Got it. World of Star Wars. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:19, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Great. Do you know if there's any textual info to along with it? Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:22, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Not much of anything sadly. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:25, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * That's ok, less info for me to worry about. :) Thanks for clearing this up. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:40, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Soulcalibur

 * Gameplay images demonstrating the game's feel and visual design, with the said Star Wars characters featured in the shot, is one thing. I wouldn't object to that. A seperate gallery of their character models -- not even during play -- is decorative and proves useless. As one of the Wookieepedians voting on the issue, you should understand all of this fairly well. From my understanding, image galleries that serve no purpose were to be eliminated in the purge, so to speak. When galleries are used for no clear reason (ie, the Soulcalibur IV gallery, or adding a gallery of different lightsabers to the Lightsaber article, despite being already linked to the images' respective pages), they have to go.
 * Furthermore, after reading over many of the comments (both "Allow" and "Do not allow"), I see almost as many good points on both sides. However, my personal opinion on the matter is that "sparingly" is too wide a window (how sparingly is "sparingly"?), they only rarely prove useful (it's nice to have cover art of comic books in different languages, but what are they doing to help the article?), and as they aren't supporting any text, they are in violation of the fair use doctrine. The last of the three is reason enough for me not to use them. // ~mikah~  19:34, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk page messages
Feel free to duplicate messages on the other users' talk page, but (after a discussion with an admin in IRC) you can't move talk page messages where you please, despite any big red notices on your page. People can reply wherever they choose; it's not up to you to decide where. -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 19:48, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * So noted. Thanks for the headsup. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 19:56, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

I hate to bother you again, but...
...since we're just on a roll right now, I thought I'd talk about this up with you. I brought up a discussion regarding Appearances sections yesterday on the Manual of Style talk page, and I'm kind of disappointed I haven't gotten a response in the now near 24 hours it's been up. When making an Appearances section and its appropriate sub-sections, how specific are we to get? For example, taken directly from my post, when do we use:

Locations

 * Kashyyyk system
 * Kashyyyk
 * Alaris Prime

Vehicles and vessels

 * Speeder bike
 * 74-Z speeder bike
 * Transport
 * Multi-Utility Transport
 * Republic Troop Transport

as opposed to simply:

Locations

 * Kashyyyk
 * Alaris Prime

Vehicles and vessels

 * 74-Z speeder bike
 * Multi-Utility Transport
 * Republic Troop Transport

I don't need an immediate response. // ~mikah~  21:23, 3 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I would say, unless the term "the planet Kashyyyk in the Kashyyyk system" or "Kashyyyk in the system of the same name", or something like that, then I would say not to put the system name under appearances. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 04:06, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

About Muur Talisman
Or, to be specific, the image you cropped from the Galaxies TCG card. I just though maybe this version will look better, no? Mauser 18:23, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
