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)
 * Let me crop it down and see what I can do with it, and if I can get it looking as good, I'll overwrite the one I just uploaded. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 18:27, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 18:39, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey JMAS, I'm having some trouble uploading images. I've asked Cavalier One to do some, he's done the first one I asked him but he can't do the second, if you could that'd be brilliant, see his talk page for the image I want uploaded. Thanks if you do do it - Kingpin13Cantina Battle Ground 13:50, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Brilliant, thanks very much - Kingpin13Cantina Battle Ground 07:32, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Glad to help :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 11:57, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Galaxies TCG
Might I wonder where you found high-res images of those new characters: Rachi Sitra, Coret Bhan, Jeffren Brek and Namman Cha? I am interested in the new game, but I only saw small-res images so far. Mauser 21:40, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, wonder away... haha... no really, at the source link for each of the images. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:55, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Image:Addicted-template.svg
Hi there. Did you see I did a vector version of your pic? What do you think?... Klow 16:19, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I did see that. Looks good to me. I'm gonna have to learn how to create vector graphics. I've got the software, just no idea how to do it. Any tutorials out there you know of? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 16:21, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Hey, JMAS, do you have Star Wars Encyclopedia scanning capabilities? I may have asked you this before. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:12, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I do indeed. As long as the image isn't right along the spine side of the page, I should be able to scan it. What do you need? -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 19:14, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I was hoping to get the picture of the Executor right above its entry on pg 96. It's very similar to the picture currently on the Executor article, but a little different. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:26, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'll see what I can do when I get home. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 19:28, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, I thought I would shamelessly prod you to see about scanning that image when you have time. Thanks. :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:28, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, forgot to update ya here. I did scan it, but there is a smudgy line through the image. I can't see that it's on the image in the book, so I'm going to need to clean my scanner plate in case it's on there and then I'll try again. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 17:31, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Gotcha Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:46, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, here ya go: Image:Executor SWE.jpg. I'm still gonna keep trying to see if I can get it any better. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 12:51, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Awesome, thanks :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 15:16, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Tri-Droid
I was still in the process of editing and merging it into the main article when you reverted my edit.Darth Marik87 14:26, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * OK then. It's always better practice to complete the editing and merging before making the original page into a redirect. Also, you might want to be made aware that images used in custom signatures like yous are, by policy, to be no larger than 20px in height, not width. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 15:15, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi
Can you unblock happyface. Toughpigs accidently blocked him because a hacker used his IP Adress and did some vandalizing. Can you unblock him. Toughpigs is on vacation I think... --70.143.67.247 23:11, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I can't. Sorry. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:13, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Why not? Your an admin aren't you? --70.143.67.247 23:14, 20 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No. You need to contact the blocking administrator. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 23:18, 20 September 2008 (UTC)

Sullustan Technician
I've uploaded another, hopefully clearer version of the Sullustan Technician (I named the file SullustanMechanic_secr3.jpg if you want to search for it under Recent Changes, it's not linked to any article yet). I messed up replacing the old scan from the book, and figured it would be more appropriate for you to choose to use it if you'd like, since it's your article. It's about the same size, with the same copyright status. I'm going to put something similar on my webpage (since my LucasFilm/Wizards of the Coast contract allows me to), so I don't think there's any problem with fair use. It's just a cleaner version of the same image that was printed years ago.

P.S. You may want to rename "Nemoidian Brute" back to "Duros Brute" (see article update above).

Cheers, Mark Tedin, www.marktedin.com, Bantha68 11:55, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * JMAS, it looks like you've erased the file "SullustanMechanic_secr3.jpg" as a duplicate of the scanned picture, does that mean you're not interested in keeping it for Wookieepedia? It's basically the same image as was scanned, just closer to the source.  Is that a vote for me not to upload my images as potential replacements?  Thanks, Bantha68 21:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Never mind, the updated picture just came through :) Bantha68 22:00, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Fair Use issues
I saw that JSarek had changed the licensing line of one of the pages to "Template:PermissionAndFairUse", and so I changed the Sullustan Technician to reflect that. It looks like you changed it back to "FairUse", and since the other one made the distinction between permission being granted but not by third parties, I guess this is the way to go. After seeing your edit to the Hapes ship, I changed the Sullustan page back. --Bantha68 20:20, 24 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Gotcha. Thanks for the heads up. Every other image scanned from a Wizard's sourcebook gets the regular, tag, but I guess because these were provided by you, the artist, jSarek felt the need to change the tag. Thanks for providing them, BTW, in case no one else shows their appreciation. :) -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 21:19, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Ginivex source change
JMAS, I noticed that you'd removed the "uploaded by the artist" bit from the Ginivex-class starfighter image page. Shall I remove this from the other pages as well? --Bantha68 00:05, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It was an inadvertent removal. I copied the template from the old Ginivex image and pasted over it. I think it's fine if it's there or if it's not. If it's not, and your name is in the "Artist" category, anyone can click on your user name down in the upload history box which will take them to your user page, which will in turn link them back to the Mark Tedin article ... so it's a bit more roundabout ... so, yeah, might as well leave it in for expedience. LOL -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 01:57, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Random stupidity
Stop sending me that hello message. It's annoying. You know what I speak of, and do not act like you do. If so powerful you are why message me? Faith in the messaging system misplace may be, as is your faith in the annoying side of the Force. If you don't stop you will experience the true power of the dark side. Much to learn you still have.

Re: Mandalore the Indomitable
Hey, JMAS. Thanks a lot for that picture &mdash; I won't have access to be able to buy the Campaign Guide for another few weeks, so I appreciate you taking the initiative and scanning it for me :) It's always good to see users around here willing to help each other without being asked. Talk to you soon, Greyman ( Talk ) 14:12, 9 October 2008 (UTC)

Images
Hey,

If I email you several images, can you clean them up for me for uploading? By clean up I mean, whiting out the text bubbles, speckling, etc.? Please advise, thanks. —Tommy9281  ( Peace is a lie ) 13:50, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure. You can send them to this [mailto:aramis@chienworks.com email address]. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:55, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sent, and thank you in advance for your assistance. There may be two more, and if so, I'll send them promptly. —Tommy9281 [[Image:Red lightsaber.png|20px]] ( Peace is a lie ) 14:09, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
 * OK, email is back on the way to you. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 21:41, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
