Teek

Hey Ozzel. Would you be able to get me a full-body screenshot of Teek from the BfE for the Teek (species) infobox? Cheers, -- AdmirableAckbar [Talk] 15:39, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

    • Sure thing, I'll see what I can find. -- Ozzel 22:00, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

Memit Nadill

I apologize. I miscounted and believed the last time I uploaded it was the 3rd version, after which I would have taken it to the talk page. I am curious though why the image was reuploaded to a lower quality upload with the text in the text bubble removed. The original image had fan-altered coloring to it but retained the text in the text bubble. This image was in place for quite a long while. It was also much smaller than the accurate color, higher res scan (600dpi) I uploaded to replace it. I am curious why the image I uploaded was them replaced with a smaller, lower res (72dpi) image with the text bubble blanked out. - JMAS 16:48, 18 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Ozzel and I were simply trying to get rid of the artifact that appeared to run down the middle of Nadill's head in the copy that you uploaded. I uploaded a new copy, and cleared out the speech bubble simply because I do that in all pictures that I upload—and policy states we can do it either way, keep speech or remove it. Ozzel, at my request, cleaned up the image to get rid of pixels that I couldn't. That's the simple explanation of why the speech bubble was edited out—I did it. And also, though a lot of the time, higher rez does mean better quality, with this picture that wasn't the case as the higher rez copy had a glaring artifact running down his head. I tried scanning a higher rez copy of that picture, as did several others, and the higher rez we went, the more artifacts we got. So, that's the explanations of what transpired, and I hope that answers your questions on here :) Cheers, Greyman(Paratus) 17:39, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Yes. The point is, if a problem like this arises, discuss it. Don't just revert and try to communicate through edit summaries. -- Ozzel 21:59, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
      • Thanks for explaining that to me guys. I didn't see it before, but now that I've been told about it, I can see what you are referring to. I have a request then. I've taken Ozzel's version and tweaked the contrast ever so slightly to darken it a tiny bit. The contrast seems very light as it is now. May I go ahead and upload it? - JMAS 02:07, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
        • Ok, go ahead. Thanks for explaining the difference. -- Ozzel 05:23, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
          • Thanks, I'll do that as soon as the page is unlocked. - JMAS 12:18, 19 October 2007 (UTC)
            • Sorry, I didn't realize it was locked. It's not anymore, so you're good to go. -- Ozzel 21:29, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

Beru's Age

  • Unlike the age on Owen's article (which is based on the ANH script) Beru's age is a total guess, trying to rationalise the Ep II and Ep IV versions of Beru. So, yeah, it's fanon. QuentinGeorge 23:18, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
  • By the way, I don't care what Shmi thinks....there is no way ANH Owen is 42!!! QuentinGeorge 23:21, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Yeah, that was obviously a victim of Lucas' redoing the timeline for prequels. Oh well, hard life on Tatooine adding years to your life and all that, I suppose. Anyway, thanks for the info. -- Ozzel 23:35, 20 October 2007 (UTC)
      • Pah, Lucas Smhucas, I blame the Ep II novelization author - there was no reason to make Owen the same age as Anakin, Cliegg is old enough for his first marriage to have been well into the past. Besides, the actor playing Owen was in his late twenties, early thirties... QuentinGeorge 23:39, 20 October 2007 (UTC)

File: Silky's true form.jpg

Congratulations, Ozzel. I was thinking to make this same change that you did with this image. Really, this frame with an angry Princess Kneesaa is the best possible for this archive. - Delmarnori 22:47, 22 October 2007

  • Yeah, those old ones were of really bad quality. -- Ozzel 01:57, 23 October 2007 (UTC)

Help

Is there any way you can help make these articles (since you are the first one who's noticed them and supports the idea)?—Darthtyler Scuba_Diver.gif Talk 21:20, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

    • I can grab some screencaps. -- Ozzel 21:25, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
      • Nevermind, they're deleting them. For absoultely no reason then that I'm violating WP:POINT.—Darthtyler Scuba_Diver.gif Talk 21:33, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
        • No, you should be fine. I don't think any admins are going to delete them. -- Ozzel 21:34, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
          • Alright. Should I wait before I make more?—Darthtyler Scuba_Diver.gif Talk 21:36, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
            • Until further notice, I'm gonna say go ahead. -- Ozzel 21:38, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
              • Alright. I'll finish up the stormtroopers in ANH.—Darthtyler Scuba_Diver.gif Talk 21:40, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Re

Really? I'd say he is disrupting Wookieepedia (or would be if he kept it up). Here's something from WP:POINT: If someone creates an article on what you believe to be a silly topic, and the community disagrees with your assessment on Wookieepedia:Votes for deletion...

  • do make your case clearly on VfD, pointing to examples of articles that would be allowable under the rules the community is applying.
  • don't create an article on an entirely silly topic just to get it listed on VfD.

Now, this may not be on VFD (actually TC) but still, he disagrees with the community decision and is creating lots of dumb articles to prove a point. He's gaming the system. Chack Jadson (Talk) 21:42, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

Actually, no. I read the further discussion on the forum and changed my mind.—Darthtyler Scuba_Diver.gif Talk 21:43, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Chack, that would only be true if the TC closed in favor of deleting the Cloud City trooper. -- Ozzel 21:45, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Alright, if we're going to keep Anonymous Cloud City stormtrooper, then I'm going to make all of these articles doesn't sound like someone delighted with the decision, to be honest. I want these articles to be created, but only in good faith -- AdmirableAckbar [Talk] 21:47, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
Exactly my point. I changed my mind.—Darthtyler Scuba_Diver.gif Talk 21:49, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
  • What if I go and create "anonymous stormtrooper (Luke kill I)", "anonymous stormtrooper (Luke kill II)", "anonymous stormtrooper (Luke kill III)" etc. Or "trees on Endor with Ewok bridges" or "kamikaze Vulture droid I (Labyrinth of Evil)", "kamikaze Vulture droid II (Labyrinth of Evil)" and so on. Don't you guys see how ridiculous a concept this is? Chack Jadson (Talk) 21:51, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
    • Individual trees generally aren't notable. But people (and usually droids) are; you should be fine to go ahead with all of those except for the tree. -- Ozzel 21:54, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
      • But that's so ridiculous. It makes no sense whatsoever. I could create literally hundreds of garbage articles that way. I'm not going to, but how is that logical? Chack Jadson (Talk) 21:57, 26 October 2007 (UTC)
        • This issue is pretty much over, but I just wanted to say sorry I got frustrated with you. Looking over the above discussion, it seems to me I kind of lost my cool (and I did for a bit). It may not seem that bad (and it probably isn't) but I think I should say sorry if I caused you any stress or whatever. Chack Jadson (Talk) 20:44, 7 November 2007 (UTC)
          • Hey, it happens. No worries. :-) -- Ozzel 22:31, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

user: Teeky

Im sorry I didnt know I had seen a few others so I thought it was a good way to add to an article. Thanks for Correcting me!!!! Teeky 16:17, 28 October 2007 (UTC)

Beru and Falcon scan trooper

I've got an HD screencap of Beru, virtually the same as the one you uploaded for her infobox image. Take a look, here, and if you approve of it, I'll upload it in place of the smaller one you have.

Also for image File:Falcon scan trooper.jpg, I have a HD screencap of that one also which you can see here. I'll upload it if you approve. - JMAS 04:39, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

  • Ehh... I do appreciate your asking first, but I'd rather stick with what I've got for Beru now. Aside from that being a different frame where she's making kind of a weird face, I don't see any added definition. It looks more like a blown up DVD cap than an actual HD shot to me. Besides, what I've got is more than big enough for the infobox anyway. The trooper, though, I don't really care about, so feel free to go ahead with that one. -- Ozzel 05:49, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Ewok pic

I resaved your tan Ewok pic with JPEGCrop and reuploaded it because images.wikia [Redacted by administration]. The file size difference is not due to recompression, it's just JPEGCrop's entropy coding optimization. -- Darth Culator (Talk) 12:58, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

  • Okey dokey. -- Ozzel 13:31, 10 November 2007 (UTC)

Deleting fan-fic

Hey, just saw your message on my talk page and I just wanted to ask you to delete the whole fan-fic page. {{SUBST:N}} 12:57, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Fanon

  • Even though Im Not a wookieepedia user anymore and dont care about this place or care for its rules, you can delete my fanon work becuase that copy there its junk. My Ga version is at SW fanon so go ahead and delete it, dont care.TroybAllSpark Quest contribs[[:File:MovieBlack.jpg|10px]] 13:18, 11 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Thank you for the warning, Ozzel, but all my fanon on here can be deleted. Thank you. -Solus (Bird of Prey) 19:28, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Uh, no you can go ahead and delete it. Sorry about that. LethalReflex20pxCommlink 22:00, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

Princess Kneesaa's article

Hi, Ozzel. I'm working on several Wookieepedia's articles, specially on Kneesaa's article. You know that I composed my own writings, combining with other Wookieepedia texts (including your writings about Wicket), and never copying texts from out of Wookieepedia. Now I'm seeing a Kneesaa's article with a high level I never could imagine. It have a long text, many images and only 3 red links at moment.

It's time to think about GA status for Kneesaa's article. I need your help to insert Notes and references on it, and I don't know how to do it. And I need Wookieepedia's help to review the Imperial-Ewok War text, that I included today. The article must be ready to loose the clean up advice.

Unfortunately, I don't have an idea to make more than 1000 words for introduction and "Behind the scenes" sessions. So, we can not think about FA status for the article, now. Do you have an idea?

Kneesaa and Wicket's articles have many points in common. It's not a surprise. The two characters enjoyed several adventures together. Kneesaa's article will always be smaller than Wicket's one, because the princess never had confirmed appearances in the movies, and the animated television series and print issues's productors chose Wicket to be the main character. But we must consider Kneesaa's high importance on Ewoks' plot (she was considered a strong leader, and may be considered an elder by the other ones, despite her young age). And Wicket W. Warrick could not be alive in the movies or could not be a warrior, if Kneesaa had done nothing for him. See Just My Luck, Night of the Stranger and other stories.

The Wicket's article is very good. Congratulations, Ozzel. I'll vote for this article's FA status. - Delmarnori 02:29, 25 November 2007

  • I'm glad to see that her article has been getting some attention. But for it to make GA status, here's what I think it will need:
    • Reference tags
    • The parts taken from Wicket's article will need some work. I don't mind the copying personally, but I wrote everything with the focus on Wicket, only telling what was relevant to him. There may be things that are important to Kneesaa that I didn't cover, and so I think it would better if these parts were mostly rewritten.
    • The whole article will need to be copyedited for grammar.
    • It looks like there are several stories that still need to be covered, like The Crystal Cloak, Home Is Where the Shrieks Are, and The Tragic Flute. Even for GA, it needs to cover every source.

Darthtyler has expressed interest in helping you out some, but I'm pretty focused on Wicket right now and can't guarantee that I'll be of much help at the moment. But I would like to see the article make it eventually, and I may be able to help more after I finish Wicket. -- Ozzel 05:32, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

  • I'll ask for Darthtyler's help. Now we must change the article, bit by bit.

About The Crystal Cloak, I can't write its synopsis without read other ones from out of Wookieepedia. At moment, I don't have a copy from this episode, to serve as source. - Delmarnori 08:38, 25 November 2007

Thanks for invite me all the episodes. I wrote some questions about necessary appearances and GA/FA status at Talk:Kneesaa a Jari Kintaka. -- Delmar Nori 01:48, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

Insider 92

Hey Oz. Do you have Insider 92? I noticed you wrote this, and in GG2 that group were also involved on Yavin 13. Just wondering if you could check 92 for me and see if there is any mention of Yavin 13 or the Slith? --Eyrezer 09:57, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

  • If it's what I think it is, I don't think there's any info, but I will double check for you later. -- Ozzel 19:32, 27 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Yeah, it was just a short mention, and there's not anything else about it. -- Ozzel 23:56, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
      • Ok, thanks for that. --Eyrezer 03:36, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

The entire tentative schedule is posted at the User talk:Atarumaster88/Project Wormhead|discussion page for this project. I look forward to working with all of you on this project and finally bringing Luke Skywalker to the standard of quality that he deserves. It will require work, but if everyone pitches in, it won't be bad. Don't worry, enjoy your vacation- there's no urgent need. Cheers, Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 16:07, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Trebla from the Ewoks animated series episodes "The Travelling Jindas" and "Curse of the Jindas"

Hi there Ozzel! I was just checking out your page for Trebla, the Jinda magician from the Ewoks animated series episodes "The Travelling Jindas" and "Curse of the Jindas" (by the way, glad to see someone doing pages for my favorite Ewoks characters and episodes. I love the Jindas!). I noticed you have Trebla listed as female, and possibly one of the Jinda dancers. Just curious, but where did you find this information? I always thought Trebla was male, and I don't remember anything in the two Jinda episodes to the affect of Trebla being female (mind you, its been a long time since I saw "Curse of the Jindas").

CherrypotionCherrypotion 19:55, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

  • I just double checked, and she is indeed obviously female. Perhaps you're thinking of Bondo? Anyway, I'll try to grab a screenshot for Trebla's article. -- Ozzel 00:31, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

AJ

I'm told you're a good person to ask for images from the Adventure Journals. Could you upload the image of Detien Kaileel from AJ #8 for me? Also, his CUSWE entry features info that isn't in his only appearance in the form I have it in, Tales from the Empire. I'm informed that the AJs can contain additional info about the characters not printed in the stories, and was wondering if you could verify that the stuff about his early life comes from there and let me know of any extra info. Cheers, -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 16:34, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

  • Sure thing, I'll look into it. -- Ozzel 00:31, 28 February 2008 (UTC)


Project Wormhead, March edition

A message from the project manager
Rolling along with User:Atarumaster88/Project Wormhead|Project Wormhead.
March rolled around fast for us, and I've been taking stock of the progress so far. A lot has happened, and I want to thank anyone who's contributed so far. You all are making this dream a possibility. For those of you who haven't yet gotten a chance to work on Wormhead, please do so. This project is only possible if everyone helps, and so if you can pitch in, please do. Despite the progress, we are still a little behind (and part of that is my fault-I hope to catch up in March), but it's nothing we can't recover from. This month is originally set for working on non-canon sources, Marvel, and I need one brave soul with the Holiday Special, some time, and a strong stomach to get the info from that if at all possible. However, don't let that stop you from contributing wherever you can and see fit. We also now have a bit of a sandbox to play with for the project: User:Atarumaster88/Wormhead Reloaded. I thank you all again for your commitment and am looking forward to a productive month. Cheers, Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 16:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)

Mailing list

Hey, Oz. I've set up a private administrator mailing list to help coordinate the current administrators of the site, and I am attempting to contact each administrator to get them to subscribe. You can subscribe here. My point with setting up this mailing list to get all of the administrators of Wookieepedia operating on the same page, and in a more unified fashion. Regardless of any personal differences that may exist between some members, I still feel that it is important that we are all operating on the same level, with regards to knowledge of the site, and new/upcoming stuff that is going to happen—so, basically, this is an attempt to coordinate us all in an effort to help keep us on the same page with regards to new policies, new ideas, announcements, discussions, etc. In my opinion, we're all on the same team and this will only help us to be a more organized and cohesive working unit—even more so than we currently are. I've already spoken with a few admins via IRC, and they have liked my point of this whole thing, and have thus signed up—I would really appreciate it you could do likewise :) Any questions about this, you know where you can reach me. Cheers, Greyman Jan.png (Talk) 16:09, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Cheap plugs

  • Hello, is there any chance you could hop over and look at some of the templates on the Indiana Jones Wiki, please? Saw you were responsible for a couple so thought you might know why the template code is categorizing articles into template categories. Vetinari (Appointment) 04:35, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
    • Template:Noncanon should to be fixed now. Any others that are still broken? -- Ozzel 05:10, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
      • Into the Great Unknown is still in Utility templates, and I assume all the templates I copy/pasted will show up like that. Vetinari (Appointment) 15:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)
        • Looks like it was because there were no <noinclude> tags around the category on Template:USERNAME. Since the other template was using that template, it placed the the article in that category. -- Ozzel 05:58, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
  • Any chance you know what can be done (or who to ask) to make the Template:USERNAME work correctly? I only ask now because it's suddenly decided to make the templates it's used in ( Template:Noncanon and Template:Majorspoiler) disorganised. Vetinari (Appointment) 17:21, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

XDD Finally, another person who enjoys that silly audio book. For a while, I thought I was the only one! God, I love that quote... Trak Nar 06:05, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

  • Oh yeah, that book is a hoot. :-) -- Ozzel 06:51, 30 March 2008 (UTC)
    • For a simple learning book like that, too, it's got a decent plot. And the voice actors were good, too. Adventures in ABCs was hokey, but Colors and Shapes is definetly the best outta that short series. I'm gonna see if my brother can find the audio file again... even if just to isolate the Greedo quote from it. XDD Trak Nar 07:01, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

April edition

A message from the project manager
Continuing on User:Atarumaster88/Project Wormhead|Project Wormhead!
Hello again! It's April, and that means it's time for an update. I avoided doing this on April 1st because of all the craziness going on, but here we are. There's no denying that we're behind. I'm very busy in RL and juggling several wiki-related projects also, so I haven't been contributing as much either. That's okay, though, as long as we catch up (i.e. summer, as a lot of folks will be out of school and all that.) There's also a new way to contribute, and something that everyone can do. Since we don't have a timeline of appearance/sources yet, I started one on the second page. I didn't give it a very large list to start with, so fill in the gaps whenever you see them. If someone wants to start doing a similar segment for sources, that'd be great. I hope that we'll get back on course with the expansions soon, but regardless, let's see how April plays out.

A belated update on Project Wormhead User:Atarumaster88/Project Wormhead|Project Wormhead!
Sorry about the delay in getting this out. I was on vacation at the beginning of the month and forgot about it. First, let me thank a number of people for their efforts on the project this past month: Greyman, for his work on the Marvel expansions. Jaina Solo added information from Star Wars Union, and a couple other people have made smaller edits as well. That's very encouraging and I thank all of you for your help. For the moment, I have to say that Luke isn't my priority at the moment-I'm working pretty hard on finishing Wraith Squadron, but once that's done, I will be back to work . In other news, Project Wormhead has now surpassed the actual Luke Skywalker article in content and will soon pass up Palpatine. It'll probably take us another month to pass up Mr. Horn, though. Anyway, keep up the good work. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 18:08, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

you deleted my page....

hey, i made a page about a half-hour ago that i entitled "Korto Vos (fanon)" i was about to put the non-canon tag on it, but you deleted the entire page before i could.

was this simply a mistake on your part in deleting it before i put the tag on, or did i break some rule in creating it at all? if i broke a rule with this page, please let me know, and i will be happy to take it into consideration.

Hi, Colby!

My name's Ken, usually on Muppet, and now I've been reading Indy Wiki and this one. I was interested in expanding stuff like the soundtracks and "Story of" records that aren't listed here, but I noticed that there is a separate Star Wars Merchandise Wiki. Can you explain what the difference is between these two, and whether the records should be in both places, or one or the other? Thanks! -- Ken (talk) 03:29, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Hey Ken. Some of that stuff can fall into a gray area, but generally, anything that is a book (or a story in another form like audio) goes here. The scope of the Merchandise Wiki regarding books is kinda fuzzy, but I think the less duplication, the better. Hope that helps! -- Ozzel 09:00, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
    • Okay, I'll start adding some of them. Let me know if I'm not doing it right! Thanks! -- Ken (talk) 19:58, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Link removal

Hey Ozzel. Removed the category links to my workpage per request. Although i do have one question - Is there a way of formatting my page so that the links are removed but the whole page isn't converted to code? so that things like images and infoboxes still remain? If you know, please tell me, so i can see what my revised articles look like when i first view them. If not, I'll just leave the nowiki code in there. Thanks!

The latest on User:Atarumaster88/Project Wormhead|Project Wormhead!
It's summer and that means, at least for me, that a lot of things need to happen over the next couple months if Luke is going to be a GA this year. I don't even entertain any notions of FA, because there's simply too many obscure/minor appearances and sources. I will be working heavily on the novels, and I know others are focusing on comics, games, and whatever those Missions things fall under. Thanks Xwing. For this month, I'm going to hammer out the rest of the Young Jedi Knights series first and then progress to the Bantam novels whenever I get to them. That means if you want to work on a Bantam novel, it probably should be done this month. ;-) I hope everyone enjoys their summer and finds a chance to participate. I definitely appreciate all the work that's been done so far. Cheers. Atarumaster88 20px (Talk page) 17:58, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
