Other XWA OPTs
Hey, thanks again for gifting me your Quasar Fire-class Bulk Cruiser... you also mentioned something about other opts you have? Mind specifying further, please? I'm not quite sure what exactly I'm looking for (I know I need a Hardcell-class whatever to fill out my CW fleet), but beyond that, I've no idea what else I would need. Oh, yeah, guess I need some Mon Cal ships (upgraded Liberty?). Got anything like this? Thanks again and thanks in advance. Jorrel Fraajic 19:34, 21 September 2007 (UTC)
 * I know that the art of "gift-giving" of this nature has become somewhat "cliche" and "overused", but I feel generous. And I have a headache. But enough of the reason.

Sources template
Though I didn't realize it until now, that is an awesome upgrade to the more sources template that you made back this summer. It's a much better quote and feeling for the template. --  Riffsyphon  1024 19:24, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Gonk!
Welcome back, my main man! Oh, and how DARE you preclude the discussion of exotic cheeses! Monster! Oh, and at any rate, there's an Ing meeting on Saturday the 20th.&mdash; Graestan  ( This party's over ) 12:50, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

Infoboxes
I am just asking if you know how to create a custom infobox? (not a userpage one) Cactuar83 23:00, 11 October 2007 (UTC)

How did you make your subpage?
Just a quick question I have, then you can go ahead and delete this question. How do you make a user subpage cause I have no idea how.--TheUltimate3 22:15, 14 October 2007 (UTC)

Show
The Vos stuff is fan speculation, pure and simple. And AICN was given a preview screening on AOTC, they were the first to break the news about Grievous and the Coruscant intro. There is absolutely no reason not to include it. Half the stuff on that page is going to be proven wrong anyways and even more have no real basis. If you insist on removing the AICN info then I am going to remove every single plot item on that page. Kuralyov 15:33, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

good articles
There's an article I want to nominate for the mantle of "Good Article". I need to know how. Oh, by the way, I like your Happy Caption Page. I might just do that myself sooner or later. Roger Roger 13:27, 24 October 2007 (UTC)

Broken Tusk
I've check tonight. I think it is a very terse mention. --Eyrezer 05:40, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

right...
"Gonk is a pathway to many new abilities" my ass. The Force is a pathway to many new abilities, not you. My XO, Lieutenant Cabbel agrees with me that you're just a pathway to bullsh**!

DV's armor
I asked for some help from Atarumaster88 and he referred me to you in several aspects. I have recently done a major overhaul of the article Darth Vader's armor, and, quote, "It seems to me that there is an awful lot of speculation in here. I recommend you look at other technology-type articles to see what type of content is allowed; I also recommend you ask someone with more knowledge of the source material than I [...]" and "Check the tone of the writing. It should be written in an encyclopediac tone, and there are parts of it that sound more . . . informal. That doesn't really help, sorry. Parts of it also read like an analysis, rather than a description." Could you help me in fixing this or help me in finding out how to fix it or perhaps tell me what to look out for and change/bahleet? Thank you for your time. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  04:11, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for doing it for me, I didn't expect that, and thank you for the compliment on the article. Now, to address your comments:
 * Rearrange the article by armor component [...]
 * Not sure what to do here. If I rearrange it by component it might be just as, if not more, confusing, as several important functions are performed by several things, such as his breathing being performed by the mask, controlled by the chest panel, regulated by the belt, and cycled through the backpack. Scattering his breathing over all four of those over different sections would be... weird. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  23:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Remove speculation re: duration of Vader's pain after losing his hand ("appeared to be"), unless a source (such as a novel or novelization) clearly states it.
 * Nixed. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  23:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Revise the last sentence of that same paragraph; it makes no sense.
 * Is that better? - Solus (Bird of Prey)  23:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Cite the whole "lifting a guy w/the Force" thing (I included a there).
 * It is cited - RODV. In fact, it's a past-tensified direct quote. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  23:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * The last paragraph of the Limbs section should probably be BTS. Also, Vader may have meant "healed" sarcastically or metaphorically. (I guess only the author knows for sure!)
 * Done. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  23:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't feel good about the vertebra section. A little bit of RL perspective on anatomy is a good thing, but this goes too far; parts like "he would have been bedridden" are almost Saxtony in their insistence on Earth-like technology when we know darn well that they can perform near-miracles with SWU technology. There may be other sections that include more speculation than we generally allow, but this one jumped out at me.
 * I knew there'd be problems with it. Pity. The researcher in me loved that part. I culled a lot of it; so much I had to stick it into another section as it didn't warrant one of its own. I put it under 'Breathing,' as I couldn't find anywhere else to put it and it did have something to do with breathing. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  23:18, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Ooooh. Um, I can't find a source for the 'lifting a guy' thing, the only time he could have was during his fight with the Tuskens in II, but neither the movie, novel, or comic says anything about him manually picking up a guy. I deleted that part in the article. I wasn't aware of the copyvio thing, I'll fix it. Thank you for the idea about the 'Spine' section, after shuffling the pics around a bit, it fits quite nicely. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  17:03, 28 December 2007 (UTC)

Assistance Please?
Gonk, Allow me to introduce myself: I am Zage Mereel, Jedi Knight, and a new user of Wookieepedia ;)

You left a message on my talk page stating:

"You appear to have exceeded the limit of user images established in our policy. Please delete all but 3 of them or they will be deleted for you."

Thanks for the notice. However, I didn't know that I had any images anywere and I can't seem to find them. Could you please tell me how to get them so that I can delete them all?

I uploaded a few images while playing in the Sandbox and didn't know that they were saved anywhere.

As I said, I just started a Wookieepedia account and am trying to figure it out, so I don't know how anything works yet.

Your assisstance is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Thanks!
Eetai Gonk, Thanks so much for your assistance! I greatly appreciate your help while I attempt to get this figured out.

I found the images in the contributions page and they can all be deleted. Thanks for that also. However, that leads me to another question: Is there some way that I can delete them?

Once again, Thanks for your help!

Zage Mereel 05:29, 29 December 2007 (UTC)Zage Mereel

Thanks! (again)
Eetai Gonk, Thanks for assissting me in resolving the matter! I appreciate it.

I will be certain not to fall in this same sinkhole again.

May the Force be with you!

Happy New Year!
Eetai Gonk!

All across the galaxy, from Coruscant to Tatooine, sentient biological beings are celebrating the New Year! Let us join them in our galaxy!

Happy New Year!

Inq meeting
There will be an Inq meeting on the 12th/13th at 0:00 UTC. Graestan ( Talk ) 03:29, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

Quick question from a new guy!
Hey gonk! I know how to sign usertalk posts with ~ but how do I get the text that says "Noahferfer" in my signature to actually be a link to my userpage like everyone else's seems to be? Am I making sense? - Noahferfer 21:35, 7 January 2008 (UTC)

A new ability


I'd like to know about these new abilities, after all you do know them. Would you like a Ruby Bliel, sir?

Ngaaluh

 * Thanks for looking at it, though I think you forgot your Inq signature. ;-) Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 22:53, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Isard
Hey, Iceheart is ready for Gonkification, whenever you have the time. Thanks, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 16:13, 22 January 2008 (UTC)

Tirog
So, I expanded that one. And I blame you for getting me to do it on IRC. 8) I don't know if my cursory reading of the Rev & Exp. book was missing anything significant: I know I skipped the parts in 2nd ed. where does exciting things like look for a lost data disk and try to fix a droid. Do you think it could be made into an FA, or should I stick to GA? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:34, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the vote of confidence! One bit of useful info you might have: who's the artist who drew Tirog?  He or she should probably be credited in the BTS. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 13:56, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

HELP!!!!
On Darthipedia, Admirable Ackbar blocked me.I thought I should come to you since you made it. :) He said the reason is "Sockpuppet of blocked user."Please unblock me!!! My block number is nineteen.I don't understand what the heck is going on!!!Please help!!---Lord Naticus

OMG!!!!!
Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!On Darthipedia, someone deleted MY user file!!!!!Why me!?!?!?---Lord Naticus

Happy Caption - on a silver platter
This one's a must: Image:A99aquatabreather.jpg Cheers! Graestan ( Talk ) 05:52, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Happy Caption Part II
Ah sorry Gonk, I didn't realize that I couldn't add my own or had to separate it otherwise. --  Riffsyphon  1024 08:54, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the help!
Hey Gonk. Thanks for the Help on what and what not to do. One question though. How do I get started on Wookipedia? Thanks again!

Mecenarylord 19:09, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Lo siento
Sorry for removing the "source?" from Visas Marr's name on the Jedi Sentinel page. I didn't think it was necessary to have because everyone pretty much knew she is a Sentinel. Jedi Striker 18 March 2008, 20:52 (UTC)

Evir Derricote
Hey, I've nominated Evir Derricote for an FA and so far I think the objections have been addressed, but it seems like not too many people are reading it. Maybe you could give it a look when you have time? --Colinmcev 04:20, 19 March 2008 (UTC)

Apologies
I want to appoligize for my posting of the Sith Names page and promis to be more careful in the future, my conclusions were drawn from the Darth Bane: Path of Destruction and other sources but were incorrect. I would also appreciate if you could perhaps explain to me where my conclusions were incorrect so as to eliminate my obvious ignorance, Thanks  Ryan Fett  ( For Mandalore! ) 22:53, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Inq meeting

Tirog has been nominated
Since you encouraged me to bring it to FA, I have nominated it. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 23:57, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, if you could illustrate the Evinn Dastt article, that might be helpful. Thanks, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 01:07, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Caption image
I thought I should let you know, I uploaded a new version of Image:A99aquatabreather.jpg which better showed the breather in use for the article. However, I also noticed you use the image on your captions page, and your caption may not longer fit the image and I thought I should let you know. -  JMAS  Hey, it's me! 13:06, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

WOTM congrats
Hey, Gonk. Congrats on being WOTM! :) Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:27, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
