Onomatopoeia
What's wrong with an onomatopoeia? Not only is there precedent in SW (the neek from TOTJ), this is a very common practice with real animals on Earth (ie, killdeer, whip-poor-will, bobolink, etc.) Regardless, I renamed all those articles, so PLEASE take off the VFD tags! --JustinGann 12:03, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I think I know what Imp doesn't like - namely, that those onomatopoeia are not the canonical names of the creatures but rather fan assumptions. That's how I understood it anyway. --KEJ 12:19, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * KEJ sums it up pretty well. And remember, the VFD is not a personal insult :P --Imp 13:18, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I know, but I renamed the articles more generically, so can you take off the VFD tags? They are just so hideous:( JustinGann 20:17, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry mate, when the VFD has started it cannot be stopped. Though I can guarantee they'll survive. Just give it 6 days and the tags will be gone. --Imp 21:22, 20 January 2006 (UTC)

Kyp Astar
Thanks for the edits to Kyp Astar. first time for me contributing...just giving it a try. --68.34.64.3 02:43, 21 January 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem. Have you considered registering, by the way? --Imp 16:36, 21 January 2006 (UTC)

SW Character Template
Hey...I noticed that you deleted the SW Character template and was wandering if there was any way to undo this? I've come across several character pages (Maw being one of them) that do in fact use the template and, though they should be using the simple template, it would be best to restore the SW Character template while we transfer them over. -Jaymach Ral'Tir 18:26, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The reason I deleted it was because I replaced the template with character using the What links here page. Having cleared that, I believed the old template to be unused. I'll restore the template, as it obviously didn't catch 'em all. --Imp 18:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

Beilert Valance affiliation
I agree that bounty hunter is not an affiliation, but to have only Galactic Empire (because of his prior line of work) in the box is misleading. The whole "affiliation" thing is trouble in the making. --SparqMan 18:28, 22 January 2006 (UTC)
 * True, true. Shouldn't that whole thing be replaced with an "occupation" bar, anyway? --Imp 18:34, 22 January 2006 (UTC)

A question
Hi. I was wondering if there is a way to lock an article so no one can edit it? Because my annoying friend keeps editing my User Page and I was wondering if there is a way to do this. Thanx --Roswell 17:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, there is. But if I lock your userpage, you will be unable to edit it as well. --Imp 18:33, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I want to be able to edit my User Page, so I guess you shouldn't block it. Thanks for the help though =D --Roswell 23:26, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Junction City cantina
Why are you changing 1 ABY to 1 BBY? All other sources indicate it occurs in 1 ABY. And why not change the actual text if you are going to? --Eyrezer 22:41, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, crap, I was convinced it said "0 ABY", which redirects to 0 BBY. Sorry. :P --Imp 22:50, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
 * No problem, but I was very confused when you changed it back the second time :) Eyrezer 22:53, 23 January 2006 (UTC)

Jedi Armor
Hey, I just want to praise your initiative to upload a much better image of the Jedi Armor. Way to go! Heja Norge! :-P KEJ 13:45, 24 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Hehe, amazing how useful these artist's websites are... --Imp 13:59, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

Reporting People
Is there a less severe way of bringing up someone you think might be trouble than the Vandalism in Progress page? Sometimes I see people that I think just need a bit of a talking to, but I don't know where I would mention such a thing if not there. CooperTFN 20:20, 26 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, you can always tell me. I check the wiki every hour or so. :) --Imp 21:13, 26 January 2006 (UTC)

Complaints
I have a complaint --69.161.102.225 01:39, 27 January 2006 (UTC) Fireball93 17:56, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Feel free to elaborate. --Imp 01:50, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you. i was blocked last week for "repeated fanon". what is that?. --69.161.102.225 22:55, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * That means you added fan-made creations, aka "fanon" to the wiki. --Imp 12:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Wanna know something else? I was banned for a week for typing the last message! discousions are not "repeated fanon"!Know what else? I was Auto blocked by you for that reason! --Fireball93 02:05, 3 February 2006
 * Yeah, that's the automated blocking system. --Imp 20:00, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah I assumed so.But why did it attack ME? --Fireball93 22:18, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Quite simply because even though you were logged in under a username, your IP address was still blocked. --Imp 22:21, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
 * And also you threatened me with blocking on Jan 22 for recreating the nonexistent Yalex,but your autoblock was in effect the day before till thursday. i.e. I didn't do it! --Fireball93 03:10, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, someone on your IP did... --Imp Comlink 03:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * you Mean I was Hacked?!

Remoh (again)
Hello, Remoh has vandalized my page again. If you check my user page's history you will notice that user 207.166.7.208 removed my images section and replaced it with this text: remoh said stop it * cut it out! I don't know if this is actually Remoh or not but it was done on his behalf. I would like him permanently banned please as well as the IP address that was used. I have little patience for children, especially those who like to vandalize. Thanks for your help in this matter Imp. Sorry to have to bother you with it though... --DannyBoy7783 19:56, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I banned the anon for 2 weeks, seeing as I can't know for sure if its Remoh or not, and he only vandalized one page after all. If Remoh or this anon try to pull this again, I'll make sure they don't have access to the wiki for a very long time. --Imp 20:17, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. I'm sure he will pull something again, however. Thanks.--DannyBoy7783 20:20, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I was just thinking, can you compare Remoh's IP address to the anon? Couldn't that edit simply have been done by Remoh if he wasn't signed in? If you already thought of that then nevermind.--DannyBoy7783 21:41, 27 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Nevermind, this has already been done by Darth Culator. You can see the discussion at Remoh's talk page. Interestingly, both IP's are apparently from Sacramento... --DannyBoy7783 00:18, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Alright, sudden death mode is on. --Imp 12:55, 28 January 2006 (UTC)

Doctoryoda
Uploading a bunch of poorly named and unnecessary images. I tried to talk to him after he started with the Order 66 page, then he moved on to Yoda, and...well, take a look. CooperTFN 21:02, 28 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry I couldn't respond earlier, it's been a busy weekend for me. I see StarNeptune has handled this. --Imp 07:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

Mando'a
I removed my last complaint, since StarNeptune took care of it. Anyway, Xilentshadow900 has repeatedly attempted to censor the F-word from the Mando'a page. We had an extensive discussion about it on the talk page, which he didn't take part in, and decided to leave it in because it's the most accurate translation possible. On top of which, the page is undergoing a total conversion into OOU since it's a work in progress and requires OUO disclaimers and such. Nevertheless, he's continued to edit the list over and over (causing the F-word to appear in the page history, I should add, about a hundred times more than it was in the article to begin with), and I don't imagine he'll stop after the rewrite. CooperTFN 01:54, 30 January 2006 (UTC)
 * It seems he's stopped, but I left him a note on his talk page. --Imp 07:50, 30 January 2006 (UTC)

VFD: Bly1993
Okay... sorry about the VFD sockpuppet incident. I was a bit mad at something at the moment and wasn't thinking. I also turned my vote from keep to delete. --Lt. 1993 01:45, 31 January 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll let it slide for now, everybody makes mistakes, and you do contribute fairly well to the wiki. --Imp 07:24, 31 January 2006 (UTC)

Useful resources
I just had to share them. I learned about SWComics.com from a discussion here on Wookieepedia some time ago, but the rest were just things I stumbled on during Google searches. Combining the hungryewok.swcomics.com text files with a Win32 version of GNU grep makes it easy to find appearances, and Korpil's index plus the Rancorfiles collection of out-of-print RPG books makes it a snap to find some of the earliest data on some topics. I just wish I could understand Russian so I could figure out when those sites are having server problems. &mdash;Darth Culator  (talk)  21:28, 1 February 2006 (UTC)
 * These things make my job a lot easier, although some of them make me feel dirty :P Thanks for sharing! --Imp Comlink 03:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Adminship

 * I've actually been thinking about putting in a request, but I'm afraid some will see me as too confrontational (though I've been working on my attitude, really). I really would love a revert button and a ban-stick, though. I'll finish up the project I'm currently working on offline before I decide whether or not to go for it. &mdash;Darth Culator   (talk)  03:17, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I think you should.you helped to solve a lot of problems --Fireball93 03:24, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I can't say I've ever seen this "attitude problem" of yours... Anyway, I hope you decide to apply. --Imp Comlink 03:05, 5 February 2006 (UTC)

Fanwank
I noticed that you use this word often, especially in regards of the Duel on Coruscant article. What do you mean by that? I know a lot of Internet slang, but this is still new for me. How would you describe this word for a non-native English speaker? --TopAce 19:51, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I actually don't use that term correctly&mdash;at least not according to the Wikipedia article on fanwank. I use it about fanon relating to certain things, mostly about Sith, Mandalorians and Jedi, that is extremely easily spotted. I also use it when people try to make it seem as if the events in the movies were far more important than all other events in the EU. --Imp 19:58, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
