Did you want it for your user page? StarNeptuneTalk to me! 17:55, 17 April 2006 (UTC)

Boba Fett Voice

What ho, Jack! I'm a newcomer, and haven't had time to make a page for him yet, but for the record, the actor who voiced Boba Fett in his animated appearances is Don Francks, not Franks: Don Francks' Site. Sorry for not including a summary, if that was the reason for the revert, but it's a valid and needed change. --Andrew, Aleal 16:48, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

Sorry Jack Nebulax

I'm really sorry about calling you Nebulass and vandalizing your user page. I hope that we no longer have to be enemies. Thank you. --Kowakian1

  • To be honest, I'm surprised you're apologizing. I hope this isn't some wierd joke, because if you really are sorry, then I accept your apology. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 00:51, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

no joke dude.

No Joke. I'm starting over as a good wookieepedian. Now, I will help Wookieepedia's articles instead of vandalizing them. --kowakian1

Site problems (since you asked)

They had a power failure at their colocation facility. [1] —Silly Dan (talk) 23:32, 19 April 2006 (UTC)

Which is stronger Slave 1 or republic gunship?

Hey Nebulax, I was wondering about what ship is stronger? Jango/Boba's Slave 1 or a Republic Gunship? Please tell me which one. --Kowakian 1 (ex vandal)

  • This really isn't the place for it (therefore I'm moving it to my main talk page, which still isn't the right place), but I supposed Slave I could beat a Republic LAAT/i gunship. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 10:59, 20 April 2006 (UTC)

Template:Erasstar

Just thought I'd leave a note on your user page as to why I didn't want you to revert the Greivous page again. the Featuredstar template adds a features star to the top right of the title of a page. The Eras template adds era icons, also to the top right of the title of a page. All that Erasstar does is join these two together, by adding the era icons to the top right of a page, then adding the featured star before it. Sikon is also currently working on this template so that the star no longer displays on top of the era icons and, if we were using the two templates seperately, then any problems Sikon fixed wouldn't be implemented. —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 23:57, 21 April 2006 (UTC)

  • That's not the problem. Whenever it's used, I can't see the era symbol. I only see the star. However, when they're separate, I can clearly see both. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 23:58, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
    • That could very well be because of the aforementioned problem with the featured star covering the era icons which, as I said, Sikon is trying to fix. It should be done soon hopefully. :) —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 00:07, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

Heavy trooper/arc trooper

  • Actually, there is a source that they are the same. The Battlefront II site says it. User:Bly1993/sig
    • Yet there are clearly not the same. ARC trooper or not, they're heavy troopers. Something could be added to the heavy trooper article saying that they were ARC troopers, instead of redirecting it. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 23:42, 22 April 2006 (UTC)

They are totally different! Battlefront II gets all the names wrong, the commanders are marines, heavy troopers are commanders, and so on. But I think the Heavy troopers were trained by ARCs, since they seem to be commanders. And on Geonosis they used ARCs as Heavys in BF2.

  • I'm addressing you, because ARCs are different. They're alike, but not the same. You said they were the same, right?

Bast Castle

I wasn't aware of a new template so I misunderstood what you'd done. It appeared that you'd just removed my link. I didn't notice the thing on the right side. It looked hostile to me so asking "what is your problem?" was justified. You are a very by the book guy Jack, and I can respect that, but you are also cold and mechanical towards everyone most of the time. I usually agree with you because someone else is being a jackass not because I like you, though don't read that as me saying I don't. I'm always going to be defensive of my edits. If I see you editing what I've done without explaining yourself I'm going to react. If that bothers you I'm sorry but that's how I am. It was my fault for not realizing you had fixed it, so I apologize for that. I mentioned it once before and I'm sure it just slipped your mind but the changes summary box can help avoid things like this. --DannyBoy7783 01:26, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I guess my point in all of this is that it doesn't hurt to discuss changes if you aren't 100% sure about something. If it gets changed right now or a few hours from now it doesn't really matter. Wikipedia has a lot more discussion about changes on their talk pages it seems to me. People discuss facts more so than changes here at wookieepedia. Ya know, whatever, that's how we do it here. That's fine I guess. I'm just saying that it never hurts to discuss a change first. --DannyBoy7783 01:31, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
    • You are right about discussing things first, and I know I should have done that. I guess I was just thinking about how others might have had the same problem, which made me remove it. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 11:05, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

B'omarr monks

Hey Jack, I think you should add some more info on the B'omarr monk article and give an example of some of them. I think you might know more about them then I do. But I know there is a B'omarr monk named Grimpen and I have heard of a monk named Blleen. --Kowakian 1(ex vandal)

Thanks again

Thanks for helping out with the user page vandalism over the weekend. —Silly Dan (talk) 03:24, 27 April 2006 (UTC)

Want to be an administrator?

I have noticed that you have contributed much to Wookieepedia. Do you want me to nominate you as an administrator? I think that you would make a really good one. Please do consider being an administrator. You have been present for a long time since July 2005. There has also been a rise in vandalism and we need more administrators to counter this. Hope that you would reply to this post and tell me what you think.MyNz 22:56, 28 April 2006 (UTC)

Question about appearances

You're the most informed person I know around here, and we've had a few friendly runins in the past, so I'd like to ask you a question. Under the Appearances sections on articles, is there any certain order they must be put in? For example, alphabetical, videogame first/movie next/novel last, in order of continuity.... Crowe 12:56, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

Line Breaks

I just thought I'd try to show you how we can notice there's an extra line break at the top of articles...when there's the line break, try highlighting the very top of the article (highlight the articles title and go down into the text). If you do so, then you'll notice an extra "box" which shows there is in fact a line there, where there shouldn't be. —Jaymach Ral'Tir (talk) 23:41, 29 April 2006 (UTC)

  • I have done that, and my computer doesn't show it. That's why I kept re-adding the space. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 00:07, 30 April 2006 (UTC)
    • Here is a screencap of the stormtrooper page with the line break at the top. Here is a screencap of the page without the line break. Hopefully you can see why I fixed it.
Look, I don't know if it's your browser or what. But when other people remove line breaks at the tops of pages, they do it for a reason. I'm a neat freak, too. I'm all for having stuff as organized as possible around here. But the appearance of the code should always take a backseat to the appearance of the page. Sometimes that means "cheating" stuff to make it work, like putting a quote right after a picture with no line in between. When someone makes an edit like that, "assume good faith." We're not just out to get you. If you disagree so much, bring it up on the talk page, and if anyone else agrees with you, then perhaps we'll have a valid issue. But as it is, you seem to be the only user who doesn't see these line breaks on pages. So please, when someone removes a line break, just try to ignore it and know that it's for the viewing pleasure of all other Wookieepedians. Thank you. -- Ozzel 19:50, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Admin in the future?

I just noticed that you had been nominated to be a admin. Despite the fact that it did not work in your favor this time, I feel that you will make an excellent admin one day. Let me know next time you are up for a vote. I would gladly support. :-) AdmiralNick22 16:12, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Infobox pipe location

It doesn't make a change, that's just the correct way to do it (yes, we've been doing it wrong for a long time). Look at these page sources on Wikipedia: [2] [3], etc. Besides making more sense, it also makes the page source look neater. RMF 20:07, 30 April 2006 (UTC)

Steps on your quest

Here are some suggestions to help you in your goal to be recognized more positively here on Wookieepedia:

  1. Edit summaries are a great place to explain WHY you're doing something that may be controversial. For instance, you made a revert recently that was totally correct (on Adalric Cessius Brandl, where an anon made a change from a correct spelling of his name to an incorrect one); however, it might be helpful to the user who made the incorrect change to have a brief explanation as to why the change was made (e.g. "spelling not supported by Tales from the NR"). This way, the user knows why you made the change, and instead of assuming you don't know what you're talking about, will either desist, continue unabated (in which case he deserves a good modsmack), or bring up the issue constructively on the talk page (if the "incorrect" spelling actually gets used elsewhere in the canon, for instance). It looks like, from your recent contributions, that you're doing better with this, but you should strive to summarize the majority of your edits.
  2. Video games may be the bane of continuity lovers like us, but they've got the C-canon stamp of approval as much as any other derivative work. We've got to learn to accept that, and bite the bullet and try to constructively work around continuity headaches like Empire at War. It doesn't help to add in notes like "(which has gone against canon)" into articles like R-22 Spearhead; sure, it's gone against canon, but now it IS canon, too.
  3. When in doubt, talk it out. If you think a change you're considering making is likely to cause an uproar, suggest it on the talk page and then wait a bit (at least a day) to see if it's well received.
  4. Assume good faith. The majority of bad edits are from people thinking they're making a good contribution to the site; gently show them the error of their ways, and most will become better Wookieepedians for it. Do it meanly, or even brusquely, and they're more likely to take offense and either flee or become prone to actual vandalism.

Just some thoughts for your consideration. jSarek 02:07, 1 May 2006 (UTC)

WoTM

Yeah, im new to this, so I don't know how things work with nominating and stuff, so just lighten up on me. Steves 22:20, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Well, you know, during last month's nominations, I did say something, and I thought you saw that. So when I saw that you were again thinking that those who had good user pages were nominated for WotM, I said again that that's not how it's done. But you also did it a third time, so it seemed like you weren't even paying attention. That's why. And just to let you know, I did say "no offense intended" the second time, so I wasn't being mean. Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 22:24, 2 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Yeah ok. Just to let u no, i never sed my user page was the best. i sed i mproveded it, but i understand now.Steves 01:50, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Reversion notes

Hey Jack Nebulax. When reverting changes, please include a brief description in your edit summary of what/why you made the revert. It's helpful for scanning through changes. --SparqMan 22:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC)

Promotion

Hey man, saw you got a promotion. Nice going! In other news, I was going to ask you about that clone-creating anon, but I see you already got to him. Dammit man, when do you sleep? ;)--The Erl of the Jack Nebulax/Archive 3 talk What I do 00:31, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

Dooku

What exactly is the problem with the Dooku image? The quality is fine and it shows a little bit more than just his head. Many of the main images here show justa s much. I don't see the problem. Especially considering the previous image was edited and looked strange. You like the old one, fine, whatever you are allowed to. But what's wrong with the one we have now? --DannyBoy7783 05:33, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

I didn't say you were a dick. This really isn't even that important. So let's just agree to disagree?--DannyBoy7783 20:28, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Me again

I know you probably don't want to be bothered but I really like your user page and I would like to know how I could get mine like that. I like how you have the This user is on the dark side. Please help me. Thanks! —Unsigned comment by Darth mathias (talk • contribs)

I'd also like to know how, I have tried several things, but it all looks [Redacted by administration]. If you could help me out, I would swear a life-debt to you. --Quidon88 21:19, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

  • What would you like to know? Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 21:51, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
  • How to do those box things like "This user is a supporter of the Galactic Empire" --Quidon88 21:52, 17 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Well, first you make an infobox (there's a forum somewhere on this Wikicity that should explain it) and then put {{user emp}} (without the <nowiki>s). There are also many other kinds of user templates like that. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 22:01, 17 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks.

I just saw your note on my userpage, as I haven't been on here today. Thanks to whoever fixed everyhing. AdamwankenobiTalk to me! My home. 22:52, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

THANKS

Thanks a lot for the info. If I ever need anything I'll be sure to ask you. Thanks a LOT once again!Darth mathias 00:14, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

Image

You said:

"Is there even a difference between this current one and the previous one?"
―Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax referring to File:NewRepublic.png

Yes, its a transparent PNG file of much higher quality. It looks much better and scales more accurately than the old GIF file. Too bad you need Firefox or Opera to see the transparency... Microsoft is just plain incompotent.--Sentry 11:47, 11 May 2006 (UTC)

A little problem with quotations

Dear Jack,

Lately I've noticed something different about the way quotes look on the Palpatine page. Maybe I'm high, but doesn't it look like there's way more space on the top of a quote, and none on the bottom? It didn't used to look that way, but it's done so in recent weeks. Yesterday I tried to fix this by adding an extra bit of space below the quotes, and I liked the result, but it seems you didn't feel the same way I did about it.

The world won't end over this problem, I concede, but to me it don't work. I don't want to let it stay that way, 'cause to me, with no offense intended to whoever invented it, it's a damned eyesore, I just... notice it. And I get the sense that you and I are the only ones who really care about it. So perhaps we can do what we do best: work out a solution. After all, there may - or may not - be a format rule, but surely how the page looks is a consideration, too, right?

Please let me know what's doin'. :) Erik Pflueger 00:26, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

P.S. Congratulations on your promotion... in whatever fleet you're serving... ;)

  • That would be the Imperial Navy... Anyway, it appears that numerous others now see extra spaces above quotes. I, however, don't for some reason. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 00:51, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
    • And it's probably not for any reason on your part other than a technical one - a difference in computers, that sort of thing. In any event, I like the quotes to be sepearate from the rest of the text, so I suggest that, as I tried last night, we keep the top space and just add more space to the bottom. I quite liked the result. Your suggestions? Erik Pflueger 01:20, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Italicizing class names

It's not a stupid rule, it's the way it is. Look at any EU book, or even the databank, and you'll see that the ship name is not italicized when not used with "-class". "Venator Star Destroyer" or "Venator" is valid. JimRaynor55 22:06, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Technically, even without "-class", it's still the class name. Therefore, it should be italicized no matter what. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 22:07, 12 May 2006 (UTC)
    • That's not the way it's done in any official source:

It goes on and on. Italics are always used when the class name is attached to "-class," but not when they aren't. JimRaynor55 22:18, 12 May 2006 (UTC)

Anon 66's complaint

I'm not sure that "harassment" is quite the right word, but using phrases like "Shut up, anon", "When will you learn?", "I suggest you shut up", or "You have no clue", certainly doesn't come off as polite debate. Try to remember that there's an actual person on the other end of the conversation — one who is also trying to produce complete and accurate articles here — and that plain text discussions often need more diplomatic language than face-to-face conversations. (It's not that you were the only person there who could've stood to watch his tone — the second anon who joined the debate also could have been a lot more civil — but you were the only one whose tone generated a complaint.) I realize it's frustrating to continue a debate when it seems all the evidence supports your point of view, but try and keep things civil anyway, OK? Thanks. —Silly Dan (talk) 21:15, 13 May 2006 (UTC)

What are the true destroyers of the Star Wars navies?

What ships do you think can classify as a Destroyer? Star Destroyers are more on the line of Carriers and Battleships after all.

Vader vs. Maul

Thanks for keeping an eye on that section in the Darth Vader article, Neb. Cutch 04:59, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

JimRaynor55 is violating the agreement

He blatantly ignored it. Changing things to conform to his point of view...-Rob

  • Rob, you have to know that you can't always get want you want here. Unfortunately, I have to agree with JimRaynor on this one again. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 23:23, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
    • Isn't that a bit biased? And, the administrators agreed with that too, what we agreed on. There is absolutely no way of telling the cannons apart from just looking at the model. He isn't supporting his arguements with canon either.-Rob
      • Actually, yes, he could most likely could tell the cannons apart on the model. And as I have told you before, physics applied to Star Wars is canon, whether you support it or not. This is not the place for the discussion anyway. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 10:59, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

Thrawn clone picture & other stuff

Out of curiosity, what makes your placement superior to my placement/the original placement of the image under its respective section in the article? Also, in regard to image of Isard, why did you revert it to 150px after that other user took the time to fix it? It's a little annoying for someone to go through that sort of work to then have someone else just hose his work. Besides, the text in the article is now difficult to read for some users, looking like this:


Isard
was
the




...then the rest of the text.

The image runs alongside the "Isard was the..." It doesn't quite suit and leaves quite a bit of to be desired. With the 130px size, it fixes the text. Again, why did you change it?--SOCL 21:07, 19 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Because on both of them, the text was screwed up due to the size and placement of the images. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 22:55, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
    • And it is now, as well, just as I commented and showed you concerning the Isard page. I can get you a screenshot if need be.--SOCL 16:53, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
      • None is needed. But those images on Ysanne Isard were too small. I would have made them bigger, but I thought about the other user's problem, so I didn't make them much larger. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 16:57, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Well, basically all you did was revert it to 150px when that other lad had made it 130px to try and accomodate the other users. Now, besides myself and that other user, who else complained about it? Further, who complained about the 130px size?--SOCL 17:04, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
    • I did. The images were too small. It's only 20px bigger now anyway. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 17:05, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
      • Yes, Nebulax, got that—I know the size difference. That's not my point. My point is that because of your reverted change, text on the Isard article is skewed for certain users. This would be easier if I got you a screenshot...--SOCL 17:11, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
        • My point is that, because it was 130px, they were too small and it screwed it up for me. No one complained before about having the images at 150px. I don't see why you're complaining about it now and to me. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 19:32, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Nebulax, I did NOT complain to you in the first place. I complained that you changed it to 130px after the issue was brought forward because I do not simply take vigilante action without finding out the other side's point of view. Besides, what is wrong with 130px? Just because the image, you think, is too small? Look, the image size was reduced to help certain users who thought the text looked strange. If you'd like, in the future I can just vigilante action without warning or explanation, similar to what you do...--SOCL 22:22, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

File:Isard article.jpg|500px Click on the image for a larger result.--SOCL 22:27, 20 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Fine, I'll change it, then. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 22:52, 20 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Hey, mate, in the end, I think you and I are about as hardheaded as the other, which is probably why we tend to bump heads some. I don't like pissing contests and the real deal is, my life has pretty much been fucked up lately. I hate being a [Redacted by administration] and feel like a jerk, mate. I guess I get too passionate about silly things... In any event, if I get a bit loopey again, just say something.--SOCL 02:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
  • I'm going to apologize now for in the past being a hardheaded di'kut and apologize for all future instances.--SOCL 16:14, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Episode formatting

The standard format of writing an episode name is to put its title in quotation marks. This is used everywhere. The only reason it isn't done that way here is because originally, I left out the quotations for episodes and it seems to have caught on. See Wikipedia:WikiProject Television. AdamwankenobiTalk to me! My home. 16:19, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

Executor

Recently you have edited the article for the Executor on multiple acounts. One of which I do not oppose, where you gave more details on the loss of the millenium falcon by piett. However you discarded my numbers on the amount of AT-ATs and AT-STs on the executor and got rid of my comments on whatever was left of the executor was destroyed by the destruction of the second death star; the loss of that was not all that bad but if you oppose that look at the wikipedia version. Star Destroyer 2500 19:47, 21 May 2006 (UTC)

  • Wikipedia isn't used as a source. If you provide a source for the AT-AT and AT-ST count, I won't remove it. But Executor was vaporized when it hit the second Death Star, not when the Death Star II was destroyed. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 23:51, 21 May 2006 (UTC)
  • Well I guess your right, anyway it was just 1 phrase so who cares if its there or not:)! Also I have a question for you, you know how some user pages have a pic. and sentance like pic of a the death star and: This user thinks the death star was a huge waste of time and money and only there to be destroyed by star fighters, and others. where do you get those? Star Destroyer 2500 14:45, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Death Star II

Hi, this is Darthtyler. I'm 68.11.201.15, I just forgot to sign in. I just wanted to tell you that at the 501st Journal at the end of Hoth: Our Finest Hour, it says the a new Death Star was being built bigger than ever and it shows a picture of the Death Star II. I saw your edit summary said (Should it count as an appearance?) I just wanted to tell you. That's all. Darth Tyler(talk) 18:44, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

RE: check the information already and is that a threat? perhaps i schould report you.

  • look again it is for the better it has been made for "perfection" of the page. and don't make false threats act like a mature being. i mena seriously enough your ruining other peoples work no it issent much work but it's the principle besides there is at least 5 links of the same thing what is the big deal if this helpes people see is correcter?
      • really now your acting like a child and i hate to have talks like this just grow up and leave other people's work at peace ok? besides who desides that you? think your better? please...
        • You don't own the article. Fleet Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 20px 20:24, 26 May 2006 (UTC)
        • and neither do you but i aint acting like that so just let is be. and from now on stop bothering me.
        • It really isn't an issue on if he is bothering you or not (he's bothered me a few times too but whatever). It's really just for the benefit of the article. Put your personal feelings aside and focus on the article. If you want to discuss your arguement, I suggest it be done on the talk page and let other Wookieepedians decide. --Redemption 20:35, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

Redlinks

  • Thanks for the message. Just to let you know what I'm up to. I'm going down the Special:Wanted pages right now, and there's about 27,000 redlinks cluttering up Wookiepedia right now. I'm primarily looking for IU dates that are redlinked so I can make a page for them. Every now and then, I stumble onto some peculiar redlinks. One, for example, was New Republic Intelligence that was spelled with only 1 "l" instead of 2. I simply added another "l". I figured (1) if somebody wanted to link to it from that page, they now can and (2) It's hard enough to browse through the wanted page as it is, so the less unnecessary clutter the better...though I know what little I've done doesn't even make a dent! But I figure you've got to start somewhere. Anyways, I thought I should at least explain myself. Jaywin 00:59, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

Hey Nebulax, I'm planning to create my own user page. Could you give me an idea on what to do for it or some tips? Kowakian 1 20:35, 30 May 2006 (UTC)
