RE: Image

It was removed because the image is unsourced. Please see here and here for the proper way to upload and source an image. <-Omicron(Leave a message at the BEEP!) 22:08, April 24, 2017 (UTC)

  • I can't add it for you, I have no idea where you got it from. I would suggest using the guided upload form which will prompt you to fill out the required fields. If you have any questions on what should be in those fields, look at the pages I linked to above, or look at other images to see how they are sourced. <-Omicron(Leave a message at the BEEP!) 22:25, April 24, 2017 (UTC)
  • Unfortunately, that image is still not valid. The source, another wikia, isn't considered a canon source. And it's not sourced on the wikia so we have no idea where it came from originally. <-Omicron(Leave a message at the BEEP!) 00:41, April 25, 2017 (UTC)

TIE Interceptor image

Please stop changing the main infobox image of the TIE interceptor page, the original one is at a better angle and is better quality. - Tommy-Macaroni Imperial Emblem (Talk) 07:10, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

  • As I already stated, the image is at a better angle and of a higher quality. Besides, the color of the image is gray. Also, remember to sign your comments like this: ~~~~. - Tommy-Macaroni Imperial Emblem (Talk) 08:18, April 30, 2017 (UTC)
    • That solves both problems, nice! - Tommy-Macaroni Imperial Emblem (Talk) 09:17, April 30, 2017 (UTC)
      • Not a problem, that's what we're all here for. I'm happy to fill out the template, but is that image canon? It looks fanmade... Also, please sign off your comments, just writing your name isn't the same. - Tommy-Macaroni Imperial Emblem (Talk) 14:18, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

That TIE Bomber image is NOT from any FFG source. I have looked at both the linked page on the FFG site, and at the all the ship cards for that expansion pack of the X-Wing miniatures game, and the image is not part of it. Therefore I have removed those sources from image info template. Regarding the TIE interceptor image, yes, it is a in-game screenshot. I simply removed the background around the ship. There is absolutely no reason to alter the image to change the color of the ship to a different shade of gray. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 21:34, April 30, 2017 (UTC)

  • First, let's address the TIE Interceptor. TIE fighter models have been shown to come in all sorts of different shades of gray, from light gray, to dark gray, to a blueish-gray. The image I uploaded was from a canon source, and therefore the color it was depicted as was canon. All you did was make the image grayscale, and there was no need to do that. Regarding the TIE Bomber, you found it on an artist website, that does not make it an officially licensed Star Wars image. It may look similar to the TIE Bombers in other official sources, but that doesn't mean that image is. If you look at the artist description, all of the Star Wars vehicle images he created were for an Star Wars themed slot machine used in casinos. There is no indication that they are officially licensed products, therefore they cannot be used on Wookieepedia. Does that make sense? I hope I've clearly explained myself regarding these two images. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 06:02, May 1, 2017 (UTC)

Here are some examples of the various shades of TIE fighters. - JMAS Jolly Trooper Hey, it's me! 06:09, May 1, 2017 (UTC)

Battle of Endor

Hi, things are only supposed to be linked once in the main body which is why I removed the link in the first place, so I'd appreciate if you didn't undo my edit again thanks --Lewisr (talk) 23:18, January 6, 2018 (UTC)

  • Fair enough I did think that might've been the case! But no worries --Lewisr (talk) 23:30, January 6, 2018 (UTC)

Image sourcing

Dialog-error You have been blocked from editing for 3 months, for blatantly incorrect image sourcing. Given that you were last blocked for this in 2008, you should clearly know better.

Major General edits

Hi Exus, happy to meet you! I'm curious about choosing to list "Major General" as a contradiction. Are you basing it on rank plaques? Rank plaques are notoriously inconsistent in the Original Trilogy, look at Return of the Jedi accidentally giving everyone commander. I'm not sure we should count the plaque as the primary evidence against him being a Major General. And perhaps he is, and he is just called "general" in most sources as a shorthand Editoronthewiki (talk) 03:10, 19 March 2023 (UTC)

Images

Hello. Regarding the Death Star conference room table diagram that you recently uploaded - please don't modify illustrations taken from Legends sources with Canon information for use on Canon articles, since that violates our Attribution policy. Use only images from officially published sources. Thank you. Imperators II(Talk) 08:11, 20 March 2023 (UTC)

Imperial rank plaques personal project

Hello. The reason why I deleted those two images you uploaded was because they had falsified sourcing - you indicated they were taken from official sources, when in fact you had created them yourself based on what's in official sources - and were used in Wookieepedia articles. You can create such images for use on a personal subpage of yours, but per the User image policy they're limited to 3 images only and need to be marked with {{User-image}}. Hope this helps, and feel free to ask any questions you may have! Imperators II(Talk) 09:46, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

  • P.S. Please use four tildes, ~~~~, when signing your messages. Imperators II(Talk) 09:49, 24 March 2023 (UTC)
    • For the record, I'd like to apologize for making the accusation that you had added the images in question to main namespace articles - that was based on erroneous information on my part. Imperators II(Talk) 10:19, 27 March 2023 (UTC)
      • Thanks for your kind words Imperators II =) PS: I think I've corrected the signature this time =) Exus Magnus talk 01:36, 28 March 2023 (UTC)

Nemet

Hi Exus Magnus. I've reverted your edits to Nemet since a source directly providing a rank for a character outweighs trying to derive their rank from a rank plaque, especially since the rank plaques are notoriously inconsistent in the original trilogy. When making large changes to a status article it's also often a good idea to try and contact the original nominator if they're still active to discuss why the article might not include the changes you're considering making. Ayrehead02 (talk) 09:55, 2 April 2023 (UTC)

  • Hey Ayrehead02, you shouldn't have done that. While rank plaques can be inconsistent (granted), in ESB, they're not. Venka, Suba (lieutenant) and Cecius in ESB, are all lieutenants. The only source you have saying that Nemet is a commander, also says that he was present at ANH. canon information, can also be wrong and I can give you several examples, like Cassio Tagge and Wullf Yularen being mentioned as Major General, Grand General and Admiral respectively on some sources, just check their pages, please. Even in legends, Nemet is a lieutenant. I've given you several examples that support my claim, against only one that says he is a commander. A commander's rank plaque consists of either a single row of 3 blue and 1 red squares or a double row of 2 red on top of 2 blue squares. Exus Magnus talk Sith canon 11:08, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
    • Two of the three examples you've listed only have ranks established in Legends, which along with Nemet's Legends rank aren't relevant to the canon page. Unless we have a reliable source that says that all rank plaques of that type can be consistently considered lieutenants in ESB, as we do with the design chart for Rogue One, then the official source that explicitly lists him as a Commander takes precedents over us deriving his rank from a single other canon lieutenant in the film with the same plaque. Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:53, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
    • Also, please don't revert the changes again as otherwise you'll be in violation of the three-revert rule. I've added a sentence to the BTS mentioning Suba, but if you're still not satisfied then please take discussion of the issue to the article's talk page, a Senate Hall thread, or Discord in order to continue this discussion with other users rather then reverting again. Ayrehead02 (talk) 13:15, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
      • Ayrehead02, ok Venka doesn't have a canon page, my mistake, but Suba (lieutenant) has. About Cecius, although he doesn't a canon page, he is addressed by Piett in ESB as lieutenant. That's 2, but if you wish I can provide 2 more examples, such has Yogar Lyste and Nolan, if those 4 examples aren't proof enough for you, I don't know what will. Exus Magnus talk Sith canon 14:07, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
        • Hadn't realised that Cecius was addressed as lieutenant, but to be honest no amount of lieutenants having that plaque is going to convince me that we should treat a source specifically using a rank for him as erroneous based on deriving rank from other officers' badges. I considered all of this when writing and nominating the article, but my opinion hasn't changed since then given that rank badges have been shown to inconsistent regularly. It's also worth pointing out that the commander title is probably based on production "floor commander" title from the film's cue notes. If you still disagree with this then you're free to start a vote to specifically make assumptions about rank badges like this. Ayrehead02 (talk) 15:29, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
          • I agree with you on that, that they may have addressed him as commander because of the film's notes, and I also add that I can agree with him being addressed as commander, in the sense that he commands others, but not that his rank is commander. You're free to do as you please, I've given you all the arguments, proofs and contradictions, that I could. Like I use to say "lets agree on disagreeing" heheh =) PS: This is nothing personal and if you felt offended or whatever in any way, i apologize. I'm very direct/blunt and I passionately argue about something when I'm convinced that I'm right (within reasonable, logical and valid evidences, of course) and that can be misinterpreted.
