Re: Images

Hey, Maguinic. In response to your question, there could be several problems with your image uploading. Most likely, it's because you're a new user. If you stick around for a few days and make some constructive edits, it should straighten out. If not, let me know, and I'll look into it further. Cheers.—Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 23:32, October 4, 2012 (UTC)

Unfortunately, your problem is most likely related with Wikia's function, not something that an admin can change. It's not a particular "status" that you obtain, so it's not something that an admin can "grant you." Making the edits and waiting the required days is signifying that you're an "actual" user for Wikia. I'm afraid there isn't really anything more I can do for you in that respect. If I were you, I'd ask Darth Culator, who knows much more about images and such. Hope it all gets resolved. Cheers.—Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 02:31, October 7, 2012 (UTC)
- You're welcome. Hope it all works out good for you.—Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 01:47, October 8, 2012 (UTC)

It's nice to see another "image junkie" like myself. A couple tips I would like to offer from a long-time user. If you replace an existing image in an article, with an image you uploaded, first ensure that the image you are replacing is in use in another article somewhere else. If it is not, then the image you are replacing it with should be of higher quality than the image you are relegating to deletion. I know some Wikis out there overstuff their articles with images for every paragraph. Not so here, so keep that in mind. This last one was probably the hardest lesson I had to learn when I started here. ;) - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 17:04, February 17, 2013 (UTC)

Indeed, I love me too upload images to enlarge the database (already huge!) of this wonderful Star Wars encyclopedia. I think that images play a very important role in the pages of the Wiki. And thank you for all these tips, I will try to respect it, what I'm trying to do already! And sorry for the late reply, I had not noticed that you sent me a message, I'm not yet totally familiar with the Wiki ^^ Maguinic (talk) 15:23, March 3, 2013 (UTC)
- One more thing, don't upload the images until you have a place to use them. Image galleries on user pages is against policy. Just save the images to someplace on your computer until you have a place to put them, keeping in mind the other things we've discuss regarding images. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 17:49, May 19, 2013 (UTC)
  - Ok, I was not aware. I wanted to store pictures on my profile because I noticed that other users were also doing that. I'm warned now ! Maguinic (talk) 17:01, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Help

Hey, I took a look at the section on the Aayla Secura page. Nice work. I corrected some of the grammer but I have a few comments and questions. I'm not familiar with the story, so what exactly do you mean that Vos was "infiltrating near Dooku"? I think something other than "near" would work better, but I don't actually know what happened. Also, strange english thing but we say that the Jedi "fell to the dark side" instead of "switched to the dark side." Even though fall literally means "tomber" in french. In english, in this context, it means they switched to the dark side. Serafina360^Talk 23:54, February 13, 2013 (UTC)

You could try saying that "he was infiltrating the seperatists to spy on Dooku." Serafina360^Talk 17:04, February 16, 2013 (UTC)

Images to Malak

Nice work on adding those images.—Jedi Kasra ("Indeed.") 21:42, March 7, 2013 (UTC)

Image captions

I noticed on the Nightsister article you put a period at the end of all the captions. It was determined some time ago as a community that periods should only be used at the end of an image thumbnail caption if it is a complete sentence. Just so you know for future editing. :) On another note, do you know of a list of all artists who have contributed to the FFG TCG? - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 18:50, June 24, 2013 (UTC)

Thank you for the clarification, I'll no add period at the end of the captions in this case. And I actually have an almost complete list of artists who contributed to the TCG cards. Do you want it ? Maguinic (talk) 08:43, June 25, 2013 (UTC)
- I would love it the list! The Galaxies trading card game was great because they had a list right on their site showing all the artists involved. I can find no such list when perusing the FFG site. Can you email it to me? - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 17:56, June 26, 2013 (UTC)
  - Did you receive my mail? Because I've sent it to you... Maguinic (talk) 09:32, June 30, 2013 (UTC)

OK, I have to know where you found this image in such high resolution. It definitely wasn't from the low res PDF rule rulebook linked to on the file page, and I can't find it on the artist's blog. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 21:45, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

I just found it on a forum : [1] I don't remember how I found it here... Maguinic (talk) 16:32, October 8, 2013 (UTC)
- Gotcha, cool. Can I assume then it was the same, just internet scavenging (like I do) that found you this, this and this without the SWGTCG logo taking up 10% of the upper right corner? - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 04:21, October 9, 2013 (UTC)
  - Right, that's it! Maguinic (talk) 11:18, October 9, 2013 (UTC)

Card Game images

Hey Maguinic; the images aren't from any website as they are direct scans from the cards themselves. - Sir Cavalier of One^{(Squadron channel)} 08:08, July 1, 2013 (UTC)

Wookiepédia, version en français

Bonjour Maguinic, je te contacte car tu semble être l'un des contributeurs francophones de Wookieepedia. Je voulais te faire part de l'existence de Wookiepédia_fr, la "version en français" de ce wiki et par la même occasion t'inviter à venir nous donner un coup de main si le cœur t'en dit :) (création, traduction, organisation...) Ton expérience sur Wookieepedia nous serait d'un grand secours ! A bientôt j'espère Trazeris (talk) 14:41, July 3, 2013 (UTC)

Salut Trazeris.J'ai déjà été actif sur le wiki français par le passé, mais je l'ai rapidement abandonné de part son manque d'activité. Ce wiki-ci est non seulement actif, mais il me permet également de travailler mon anglais. Mais si j'ai un peu de temps libre, je ne manquerai pas de faire un petit tour côté français ;) Maguinic (talk) 06:25, July 4, 2013 (UTC)
- Je comprends, c'est pour ça que j'essaie de faire venir des gens ;) Trazeris (talk) 07:14, July 4, 2013 (UTC)

SWGTCG

Hello. Can you tell, where do you get SWGTCG cards images? JEDI | WALKIE-TALKIE 10:45, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

I get most of them through the Star Wars Galaxies Memory Book, you can download it here : [2] Maguinic (talk) 20:08, July 17, 2013 (UTC)

On all the images you are uploading from The Price of Victory, you are putting the file name as PotV which makes no sense. I'd recommend either just using PoV or tPoV so it's accurate. :) - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 16:54, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

Ok, well done, thank you for pointing that out. I don't know why, but for me it was "Price of the Victory"... In any case, thank you to upload new versions of images after me ;) Maguinic (talk) 17:20, September 11, 2013 (UTC)

FFG image artists sourcing

Hey, Maguinic. I noticed that you attribute certain artists to images—for instance, Anthony Foti for the Edge of the Empire Mathus.jpg image—without including a link to the actual location the image is attributed. I am unable to locate a specific source that can verify that Tony painted this (and his signature is not on the image itself). Can you please provide those links and insert them, as I have done in Star wars edge of the empire scout.jpg? Thanks. —Gethralkin^Hyperwave 18:29, August 25, 2013 (UTC)

Galleries

I noticed that you added a gallery to the Swamptrooper article. Through many different CTs and votes, it has been determined that gallery come very close to violating "fair use" copyright laws. Therefore, galleries are not allowed on user pages, nor are they generally allowed in regular articles either, except in very rare cases. Just wanted to let you know why I removed that gallery. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 16:37, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

I created this gallery on the Swamptrooper article several months ago because I had seen one on a similar page (that you have also modified again). And if I have a sort of "gallery" on my profile, it's to protect the images and prevent them from being deleted. I find it a pity to delete images (even if they are official) under the pretext that they aren't used. Now I'll have to find them a new location... Maguinic (talk) 16:51, September 18, 2013 (UTC)
- I see your point, but the policy of this site, and to qualify for legal use under Fair Use copyright law, the images need to be used to illustrate text of an article. Merely displaying them in a gallery on your user page, or in an article does not do that. It is simply displaying the image for no other reason that to be visible. My advice for the gallery on your page is to remove it and let the images get deleted. Once you have a legitimate place in an article for them, then upload them at that time. Let me give one of the very rare cases where a gallery does qualify as Fair Use. In the Ralph McQuarrie I have a small 2-image gallery to explicitly illustrate McQuarrie's influence on the actual films. The gallery was needed to show the two scene/images side by side, which cannot be done without a gallery. But understand, this is a rare case. - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 17:16, September 18, 2013 (UTC)

Rulebooks

Do you have a the Star Wars: The Card Game Tournament Rules PDF in High Res? - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 06:30, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

Yes of course, I've found it in high resolution... But in Polish. If you want the link : [3] Maguinic (talk) 18:10, October 14, 2013 (UTC)
- Yes, thank you for the link. In Polish - THAT's why I couldn't find it anywhere. LOL - JMAS ^{Hey, it's me!} 19:31, October 14, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Illustration de Magali Villeneuve

Salut à toi, Maguinic ! Histoire que tu n'ailles pas imaginer que je te snobbes, je te signale ici que j'ai répondu à ta question par mail. ;-) --LelalMekha (talk) 19:18, October 15, 2013 (UTC)

Toujours heureux de bavarder un peu avec les francophones du coin. Soit dit en passant, c'est vrai que cette illustration est superbe, même si je trouve que Bail n'a pas assez vieilli en près de vingt ans ! :-p Une chose est sûre, en tout cas, c'est que Magali Villeneuve a vraiment la cote en ce moment. --LelalMekha (talk) 20:12, October 15, 2013 (UTC)

Mines

Hey Maguinic. Just to let you know that this image you uploaded likely depicts a laser trip mine instead of a proximity mine. Maybe the source got them mixed up. Cheers. Stake black ^msg 18:01, November 27, 2013 (UTC)

Image

Hey Maguinic, do you still need File:Storm Commando Gunner-TotC.jpg? If so, an administrator can always rename the image. Instead of tagging it for deletion, you can use {{FTBR}}. If you don't need it, then I'll go ahead and delete the image. JangFett ^(Talk) 16:56, December 22, 2013 (UTC)

Gallery

Maguinic, it is forbidden by Wookieepedia policy to maintain galleries on your user page just for the sake of keeping the images. Not every image on the site has to be used; that's why we have the unused images deletion. Please do not continue to try and save such images by storing them on your userpage. Thank you. Cade Calrayn 15:35, February 19, 2014 (UTC)

Xamuel Lennox

Hi there Maguinic. I suggest you take the image issue to the talk page and start a vote, to avoid an edit war. Cheers. Stake black ^msg 18:54, March 28, 2014 (UTC)

Not worth it, I found a page where to put the picture, but thank you for the advice, I'll think about it in the future ;) Maguinic (talk) 17:29, March 30, 2014 (UTC)

Source of image you uploaded question

Hi, I've been fixing up the Star Wars: Republic Commando articles, including redirects. I noticed that you uploaded the attached image and listed the source as the game, but in no point in the game do you see youself from the third person — the image depicts all four commandos. Just wondering if it was indeed the game the image came from or from promo art, the Star Wars: Republic Commando: Prima Official Game Guide or somewhere else? Please leave a message for me on my talk page, thanks! Manoof (talk) 11:35, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

Hi, thanks for the reply! I've found some code that allows you to play 3rd person perspective, but the skin of the player's clone is a plain dark grey colour. I've tried it on a few levels and it is always the same. I did find a game mod site that does include the Boss skin, but as that is not part of the game itself, i'll note that on the image and will later put it in a section where i talk about people modding the game :) Manoof (talk) 08:08, April 15, 2014 (UTC)

Image retouching

Hi Maguinic. What program did you use to retouch the enraged ronto image and get rid of the background? I think it's really nice!--Richterbelmont10 ^{(come in R2!)} 16:58, May 19, 2014 (UTC)

Re:Block

I could per user request. If you ever want to return, just log into IRC and I could always unblock you. JangFett ^(Talk) 13:14, July 19, 2014 (UTC)
