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 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)

All Jedi List
I didnt know you guys already had a page like that. I should of done some research before I did that. How do I delete the page? --Mas1@ 20:29, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No worries, mate. The wiki can be confusing at times, especially to newcomers. I deleted the page for you. :) --Imp 20:31, 8 February 2006 (UTC)

Blocked
page. --DarkShroud 6:23, 22 February (UTC)
 * Why was i blocked by you again? StarNeptune keeps unblocking me but everytime i try to edit something it keeps coming up that i'm blocked again. This time it says i'm blocked for vandalism. --DarkShroud 22:59, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Are other people using your computer? Perhaps the IP address has been used anonymously by other people who have also been blocked. For that matter, you seem to have no problem editing the admin's talk pages: are you sure you're actually blocked? --&mdash; Silly Dan 01:47, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I noticed that same thing every time he posts here (that he CAN post here)... --DannyBoy7783 02:09, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I don't know. All i tried to do was fix some spelling errors on Saesee Tiin's bio and it came up i was blocked by Imp. for vandalism. And i haven't even written anything recently because i was doing my user page. --DarkShroud 02:34, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Weird. Try logging out, clearing your cache, and logging back in. I have no idea if that would work or not, but it can't hurt. --&mdash; Silly Dan 02:36, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'll try it. --DarkShroud 02:40, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I think it worked. Thanks. --209.74.44.37 15:16, 9 February 2006
 * I was blocked for vandalism again. If it was thatDarth Danny 12345 thing, then he should be blocked too. He wrote disgusting and rude things on my user

Helpfulness
How can I be helpful without writing articles? --General Antilles 23:24, 8 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Adding quality pictures, sourcing articles, making sure categories are correct, proofreading, formatting articles to fit the wookieepedia style just to name a few. --DannyBoy7783 02:08, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * You can find a whole list of things to do at Things to do. --jSarek 08:14, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Question
What is the difference between appearances and sources? --General Antilles 21:39, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Appearances are films, novels, comics, cartoons and computer games, whereas sources are generally reference books, roleplaying books and Databank entries. --Imp 22:20, 9 February 2006 (UTC)
 * To put it more simply: Sources are where you get your information from. Appearances are just that: where the character has appeared. There is obviously a great deal of overlap because often times the appearances are also sources. --DannyBoy7783 00:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * In which case, the item is listed only under "Appearances." -- &mdash;Darth Culator  (talk)  00:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

New jedi council
Are you in a jedi council.like your very own.if not you should tell everyone on wookei pedia to join in on the council.I think it wold be a very good idea to make our own council within wookiepedia.Do you agree? --Mas1@ 02:17, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * As poorly executed his question was, the idea of making the admins into a "jedi council" is fairly amusing. I say go for it. --DannyBoy7783 03:07, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Do we as the masses get to execute Order 66 when we feel we don't want them anymore? :) -Jaymach Ral'Tir 03:54, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Are you guys up for it? Hey Dannyboy7783 what kind of cyborg would you like to be? --Mas1@ 04:02, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Can you do me a favor?
Can you protect my page from Dannyboy? I think I got him mad and I don't wan't him to vandalize my page. --Fireball93 03:39, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Honestly, Imp, I have no idea what's going on. He made a comnment at remoh's page and I responded but it is completely nonsensical and I have no clue what Fireball is going on about but I think you and I both know I would never vandalize someone's page considering how outspoken I am against it...though I really don't think this even warrant a response/defense from me. --DannyBoy7783 04:57, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * No worries, Danny. Fireball is needlessly paranoid. --Imp 18:44, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes. It is a curse.And sorry dannyboy.lets just let bygones be bygones OK? --Fireball93 00:25, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

One-Arm
Why did you move it back? This should show up in the article title results. It would be easier to find. The title "One-Arm" can be confusing and is that even canon or did someone just make it up to give her a name now? --DannyBoy7783 18:02, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Because parantheses are only used in cases where disambiguation is needed. Article titles are about accuracy, not search results. --Imp 18:09, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * In that case, I think the information should just be included in the wampa article. Is that acceptable?--DannyBoy7783 18:12, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, seeing as this wampa has its own name and a reasonable amount of information is available for it, it should probably have its own article. --Imp 18:15, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure that name was made up. The discussion page mentions problems with the name and then it was changed to this. Do you know if it is canon?--DannyBoy7783 18:17, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * It's from the trading card game, apparently. jSarek is pretty trustworthy, so I don't think he was making it up. --Imp 18:29, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Ok, sounds good then. I always forget about the CCG. --DannyBoy7783 19:18, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * "Pretty trustworthy"? Sheesh.  What do I have to do to become completely, unquestionably, infallibly trustworthy? ;-) Seriously, yes, this card exists.  Decipher unfortunately doesn't have all of their old SWCCG cards still up online, but you can still see One-Arm's place in the Special Edition Limited Dark Side card list. --jSarek 21:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Or you could use the Wayback Machine and take a look at the actual card :) --Jaymach Ral'Tir 01:24, 17 February 2006 (UTC)

OK, maybe I do need a banstick.
Check out Talk:Wes Janson and see if you can think of a reason User:ConservativeSoldier should be allowed to be here. Meanwhile, I'll be over here. -- &mdash;Darth Culator  (talk)  21:38, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes... the good old "Internet loser" insult. Meh, maybe I'll poke the doggy if he starts biting. --Imp 21:53, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

Question 2
If something is not canon shouldn't it technically not be included in Wiki? --70.246.235.115 17:17, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * We have articles on everything licensed by Lucas. Non-canon subjects are tagged as such. --Imp 17:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * If they are non-canon, that is not licensed by LFL, can we delete them?
 * I'll assume you're referring to the ambiguously canon material I've been adding. I'd just like to point out that I did discuss whether or not it should be allowed on the Wookieepedia with several of the admins before I added it, and it was agreed that it was allowed to be added as long as I added the correct tags. --Jaymach Ral'Tir 01:15, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Well don't assume. I'm referring to stuff from this magazine called Challenge 65, and I think there's another one.Challenge 43. I don't think Gammorean nuns is a part of canon, or so help me, I'm going to make my first claim. --70.255.145.60 02:02, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * That is indeed the stuff I have added. It's already been discussed by the admins and agreed that it could be added with ambig tags. You may want to look at this page, and you'll see just how many articles there are. It's a lot more than just 2 magazines. Also, take a look at this page to see how many articles have already been added. :) --Jaymach Ral'Tir 08:38, 17 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I found one that isn't on there Electric Judgement. I nominate this article for deletion or an ambiguous canon label. I think this was something that was made up by the producers of the game, without thinking about EU continuity. Having Force lightning the same color as the Jedi's lightsaber is pretty pathetic. I'm pretty sure this was just made for game mechanics or someone made a mistake. --70.255.145.60 06:54, 22 February 2006 (UTC)

204.167.116.4
Where did I make a Canon error? And, what I added to the New Jedi Order reactions page was going to be backed up later, and it is *true* that YJK fans absolutely hated NJO. So, can I have a clarification *where* I made an canon error? --204.167.116.4 18:19, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * "and it is *true* that YJK fans absolutely hated NJO" you can't speak for all the fans so I would suggest you shy away from generalizations like that. --DannyBoy7783 18:22, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm talking about the starship speeds you altered. Oh, and what Danny said. --Imp 18:35, 15 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The NJO revert was for not maintaining a neutral point of view, and not necessarily for canon errors. You made conclusions about the 'failure' of the series and promoted a petition to remove it from canon. --Yrfeloran 18:55, 15 February 2006 (UTC)

A request fufilled, sort of
A few weeks ago you asked me to do a logo for the improvement drive. Had no luck on the shovel front, so I made this instead. --Dark Spork 23:52, 19 February 2006 (UTC)
 * That's... wow. That's perfect! Thanks! --Imp 10:57, 20 February 2006 (UTC)
