Unidentified Jedi/Sith (Sacking of Coruscant) Edit
Please stop editing these articles, as I am in the process of working on them. Thank you. Grand Moff Tranner(Comlink) 19:18, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Since you edit what I've edited, fine to me... Alexrd 19:35, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
If I may interject, the point is that you have blatantly disregarded one of the header templates of the article, which politely asks you NOT to edit the article, as someone is performing on-going work on it. This is why you are being reverted. Please stop. OLIOSTER(talk) 19:47, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
You have been blocked from editing for 1 day for violation of Wookieepedia's 3RR rule. Whether or not someone is correct in this matter is not the point. It's about having respect for the article and your fellow Wookieepedians, which means not edit warring. If you have a problem with the contributions someone is making, discuss it with them on the article's talk page or on a user talk page. Your suspension period will end in 24 hours. Please do not continue this type of editing behavior. To contest this block, please contact the blocking administrator with the reason you believe the block is unjustified. Toprawa and Ralltiir 19:50, 7 June 2009 (UTC)
Please do not remove administrative warnings or any other talk page messages from your talk page. They should be kept as part of the public record. If you no longer wish to see them, you may archive them. Thank you. Toprawa and Ralltiir 17:36, 25 June 2009 (UTC)
Hey Alexrd. As project head for WP:TCW, I'm trying to get a better idea of who's still interested in participating in our project. If you're still interested in participating, please leave a note on my talk page or contact me in IRC. If you do not respond within a week, I will assume that you are no longer interested in participating. That doesn't mean that your name will be removed from the "Participants" list, but it means that any of your current projects will be removed from the project page so that others have a chance to work on them. Likewise, if you currently have any projects under your belt, I highly encourage you to review them, and if you don't plan on working on them within the next two or three weeks, I recommend reconsidering them. Thanks. Your project head, CC7567(talk) 05:51, 3 July 2009 (UTC)
Please do not upload duplicates of existing files, especially if they are of lower resolution/quality compared to original. Thank you. MauserComlink 11:00, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
The quality is better, although it has a lower resolution. Alexrd 11:03, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
Hey Alexrd, thanks for checking with me on the infobox issue. While I like the image, I agree with CC and Cav that it's currently insufficient for the infobox. I appreciate the suggestion though, and if you find any others you think may work don't hesitate to make a proposition. Darth Trayus(Trayus Academy) 01:47, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
Hello everyone, this is CC7567 from WookieeProject The Clone Wars. It is currently six months after the project was started, and the number of individual projects is steadily growing. While I am happy that so many of you are writing for the WookieeProject, the majority of articles there have been sitting there for months. Several users even have ten projects or more at the moment, and I am frankly just disappointed at the level of inactivity that is befalling our articles. I understand that many of you have other obligations, and while I respect that, the responsibility falls to you to judge whether or not you're still capable of writing all of these articles, whether in time or in energy. For this reason, I once again urge you to reconsider your current projects. The criteria should be that you have the unrelenting intent to finish all of your projects within the next month. I myself have had to reconsider my own projects on account of real-life time constraints. I do not want to have to set a limit to the number of projects per user, but if it comes down to that, I will, because I do not want to see the project deteriorate and hope that you do not want to either. Thank you. CC7567(talk) 19:22, October 31, 2009 (UTC)
I honestly have no idea what you're talking about. They're canon; the source has just been recently removed from the Internet and is under investigation. CC7567(talk) 20:24, April 1, 2010 (UTC)
Really? Since I haven't seen any source (and thought the summary was very strange), I thought it was fake. Sorry then. Alexrd 12:23, April 2, 2010 (UTC)
Just wanted to let you know that "Star Wars: The Force Unleashed II" official art this image is not sufficient. It's not an official source at all in point of fact. You need to provide a link from where you found it, or something else more specific. The same issue came up with promotional images for ROTS. People were putting the film as the source, when in actuality, a neutral background promotional image cannot be sourced to a film. Just wanted to give you a head's up. - ~ JMASHey, it's me! 16:34, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
Fixed. I wasn't sure if it was worthy to put the link, since not everyone has acess to the server. Anyway, Activision is the official publisher of LucasArts in Europe. Alexrd 23:40, October 14, 2010 (UTC)
So you work for Activision? Is that how you were able to access the image? Because you're right, when I click the link, it requests a username and pw, which of course, I don't have. - ~ JMASHey, it's me! 00:01, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
No, I don't. However, I have found acess to the server. This is mainly promotional material, that is usually used by magazines. Alexrd 00:08, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
Mind sharing how you found access to the server? ;) ~ JMASHey, it's me! 00:11, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
Through a third party. ;) Alexrd 00:19, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
I was afraid you were gonna say that. LOL ~ JMASHey, it's me! 00:20, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
I have more pictures, if you don't mind I upload them. However, I still haven't found any other unrestricted site with these pictures available to everyone. Alexrd 00:23, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
I'd love that, but I wouldn't recommend it. The site isn't meant for file sharing. However, if you have the ability to put them into a zip file, and then upload that to a site like MediaFire or Ziddu that would work well. Then you could just email me the link. - ~ JMASHey, it's me! 00:39, October 15, 2010 (UTC)
While your edit to CT-21-0408 is appreciated, the page currently has a template called {{Inuse}} at the top. This template means that someone is currently working on improving the article, and to avoid edit conflicts, no one other than the placer of the template should edit the page while the message is visible. Thank you for your cooperation. JangFett(Talk) 21:55, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
Didn't noticed it. Sorry. Alexrd 23:07, March 5, 2011 (UTC)
hello alex,just wanted to ask you for a favor
those TFU2 artworks you found like the yoda dagobah picture,could you send them to me as well
was wondering what they made,since the last package was published on lucas arts homepage, but never saw the ones for TFU2
thanx
Of course I recognize the difference, there is no need to be rude here. I've only read the uploading notes after I've uploaded those. I was not sure if I should upload a full-res picture because I've been warned before that it makes the page slower to load. That's why I uploaded at 720p res. Alexrd 13:03, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
Loading times aren't really an issue. When the image is used in an article, it gets recompressed into the same size thumbnail regardless of the source size, and people click on the link for the full-size image because they want quality. The main problem isn't the resolution, anyway. There's also a noticeable amount of macroblocking which reduces the effective resolution even further. Macroblocking is usually a sign that your editing software has its JPEG compression turned up way too high, or your source has been recompressed from the original MPEG-4 stream. -- Darth Culator(Talk) 13:13, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
Shouldn't we use PNG's, then? The macroblocking may be due to PNG to JPG conversion. The screenshots I take are converted to a minor resolution and to a different format. Alexrd 13:19, September 17, 2011 (UTC)
It's for the community to decide which is the "right" formatting of the title and which is the "wrong" one. Almost always when you see "Star Wars The Clone Wars," there's a non-visible colon that's still present. I understand the urge to make sure everything is formatted properly on the site, but such conduct should not go against WP:CON, which is what the CT is determining right now. Please therefore make sure to reserve any more discussion about this to the CT where applicable. Thank you. CC7567(talk) 01:19, December 27, 2011 (UTC)
Yes, I do. I can check it out tomorrow and let you know if I find anything. Alexrd 23:35, January 12, 2012 (UTC)
Turns out there is no info about that droid. The only OOM droid on the Insider's Guide is OOM-9. However, I can upload a better picture for that article if you want. Alexrd 22:38, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
Thank you very much, that was the last source I needed to check...as for the picture, I like the one that's there now. Corellian PremierAll along the watchtower 23:02, January 13, 2012 (UTC)
The picture I have is from the movie and has better quality and resolution. It's the same frame as the one on the article. Alexrd 13:02, January 14, 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Alexrd. Recently, a discussion was brought up in one of the forums for WP:VG. The topic, seen here, is a discussion of a group project. Corellian Premier originally came up with the idea, and he thought perhaps the Battlefront series would be a good one to work on. Anyway, if you have any thoughts and/or are interested in helping out, feel free to join in on the discussion, and we'll see what we can do with this. Cheers!—Cal Jedi(Personal Comm Channel) 15:41, March 28, 2012 (UTC)
Sorry about that. I only saw at the last instant that your edit was not in the Powers and abilities section above the Bts like I initially thought it was. I cancelled the browser action to save, but I apparently missed it and it reverted. You fixed it back so it's all good. —GethralkinHyperwave 14:26, April 17, 2012 (UTC)
Hello, I am just informing you that your CorusMall and 7-Gee Lounge nominations have unaswered objections over a week old. If you do not reply to them soon they will be removed from the CAN page.--Exiled Jedi(Greetings) 16:51, May 18, 2012 (UTC)
The two articles have objections over a week old again.--Exiled Jedi(Greetings) 12:45, June 2, 2012 (UTC)
Hey, Alex. I'd like to direct your attention to this. If you could check it out when you get a chance, I would appreciate it. Thanks.—Cal Jedi(Personal Comm Channel) 18:16, June 1, 2012 (UTC)
I've archived the comprehensive article nominations of CorusMall and 7-Gee Lounge as failures, as both had objections over two weeks old. 7-Gee Lounge is over 250 words, and CorusMall will likely be over 250 words after ExiledJedi's objections are dealt with --- as such, I'd like to encourage you to take both articles to the Good article nominations page. Your enthusiasm for nominating articles is great, and nominating something for Good article status is a great learning experience. Go for it! Menkooroo 01:02, June 10, 2012 (UTC)
A year ago today, WookieeProject Video Games was founded. Although it started out rather small, it quickly grew to be currently one of the most productive WookieeProjects. In that year, WookieeProject Video Games has seen seven Featured articles, thirty-four Good articles, and sixty-five Comprehensive articles passed, a very impressive amount especially for such a short time.
WP:VG was founded by Cal Jedi on July 8, 2011 with a mission "to improve...video game articles and bring them up to date" and also to "bring all related articles to Featured article status, Good article status, and Comprehensive article status." WP:VG has answered the call to the best of its ability. Five days after its formation, Exiledjedi joined the Project. More and more users began joining, until now, the project has eleven members. On July 26, 2011, the Project gained its first Comprehensive article, Unidentified Bakuran astromech droid, taken to status by Cal Jedi. Shortly thereafter, WP:VG's first Good article, J'Meeb Gumb, was taken to status by Exiledjedi on August 17, 2011. WP:VG's first Featured article, Battle of Kessel (0 ABY), was brought to status on October 19, 2011 by a guest nominator, Kilson.
WP:VG has associated with many other WookieeProjects—such as WookieeProject The Old Republic, WookieeProject Knights of the Old Republic, WookieeProject Galaxies, and others—helping each other bring articles to status. Overall, Wookieepedia's video game articles have drastically improved. While many have been taken to status, many more have been worked on and improved through the efforts of WP:VG's members.
There are many Star Wars video games. From the very first Star Wars game, Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, to the recently released Kinect Star Wars, WP:VG has been there to work on an area on Wookieepedia that needs much attention. With the many games that have been produced under the Star Wars title, a large amount of people have come to love Star Wars games. We have had some tremendous Star Wars games in the past, and as we look to the future, we can see many more promising Star Wars titles on the horizon. Star Wars: 1313 is just around the corner, and it will require much work. And that is not the end. There will be more Star Wars games in the future. WP:VG needs to be there to address their needs on Wookieepedia.
However, a WookieeProject is nothing without its members. An impressive amount of work has been done by Corellian Premier. He has done a lot of work taking care of the little details in video game articles—many of which would otherwise have been forgotten—and he has also done a fine job of doing a lot of "inside work" of WP:VG. Olioster has also been doing a tremendous job of late. He has recently nominated an impressive amount of articles from Star Wars Galaxies. Even though the game has been offline for quite some time now, he keeps carrying on in his work. Congratulations, though, go to all of WP:VG's members. Without the members, WP:VG would be nothing. Together, the members of WP:VG have done a wondeful work on Wookieepedia. WookieeProject Video Games has done a great job over the past year. May it continue to do even better in the years to come. May the Force be with the gamers!
Hello Alexrd. I see you've just uploaded a new version of the "Galacticsenate2.jpg" image. Is this from the blu-ray edition? I'm asking this because, if you do possess the blu-ray edition of the six movies, I'd like to request one or two shots if you don't mind. Regards. --LelalMekha (talk) 18:39, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
Yes, it's from the Blu-ray. I do have all six, so feel free to ask. Cheers Alexrd (talk) 19:33, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
I'm working on an upgrade drive pertaining to Massassi-related articles, so I think blu-ray versions of those files those would be welcome: EPIV_Throne_Room.jpg (on Grand Audience Chamber) ; Tikal screenshot1.jpg (on Massassi Site) ; The Rebel Base.jpg (on Great Temple). Thanks in advance. --LelalMekha (talk) 19:39, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
At the moment I can only upload them at 720p, but if you want 1080p you'll have to wait a few days. At the moment, only Tikal_screenshot1.jpg would benefit from an upgrade to 720p. Shall I do it? Alexrd (talk) 19:52, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
Oh, I can wait. I have time on my hands those days. ;-) --LelalMekha (talk) 19:54, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
Just to clarify, is this for the Wiki, or do you want an external link? Alexrd (talk) 19:57, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
It's for the wiki. I guess you know what kind of uploads you are allowed to do, as you've already done it before. --LelalMekha (talk) 20:03, July 25, 2012 (UTC)
Hello Alexrd. Just writing this short message to remind you of our conversation here. Not that I'm in a hurry, just to be sure you haven't forgotten. ;) Take all the time you need, though. Regards. --LelalMekha (talk) 20:38, August 5, 2012 (UTC)
Oh, don't worry. I haven't forgot. Just waiting for my friend to return it. Alexrd (talk) 20:58, August 5, 2012 (UTC)
Hello again, Alexrd. Since you seem to have recovered your original trilogy blu-ray discs, I just wanted to remind you of this old discussion. Whenever you have time, my friend! ;-) --LelalMekha (talk) 21:17, December 27, 2012 (UTC)
Done. Sorry for the delay. If you need more screenshots, just ask. Alexrd (talk) 22:05, December 27, 2012 (UTC)
Oh, I wasn't in a hurry, so there's no harm done. Thank you again! --LelalMekha (talk) 22:08, December 27, 2012 (UTC)
Alexrd, please make sure that all articles make use of the better image before marking the obsolete one for deletion. Otherwise, redlinks will be present, and it leaves more work for others to correct. Please make sure to use Special:Whatlinkshere. Thank you. CC7567(talk) 15:54, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
That's what I do. I only leave userpages and talkpages. Alexrd (talk) 16:14, September 27, 2012 (UTC)
It goes for all articles. It's usually fine to make minor edits to user pages and old talk page posts unless a user explicitly states not to. If applicable, you can leave a message on the user's talk page just to verify what you changed. CC7567(talk) 03:02, September 28, 2012 (UTC)
Are you interested in any particular info? Alexrd (talk) 22:59, October 22, 2012 (UTC)
I'm not really sure how the book is organized but if its by episode, than any information on Tan Divo and the CSF would be in episodes Lightsaber Lost, Sphere of Influence, Duchess of Mandalore, Lethal Trackdown, Evil Plans, Hostage Crisis, Pursuit of Peace, Senate Murders, and Deception. What ever little detail you can find will help, thanks! Coruscantfan(Talk) 05:02, October 25, 2012 (UTC)
Well, the guide I have is for episodes of Seasons 1 and 2 only and it's organized by episode.
It does have information on the Security Droid: "These flying droids respond to emergencies on Coruscant, identifying suspects and guiding police droids and military personnel to their location."
The Police Droid: "These mechanicals keep order on Coruscant and other Republic worlds, and are programmed to detect illegal activity and apprehend criminals. They do so peacefully if possible, using their blasters as a last resort."
And Tan Divo: "A bumbling police inspector, Tan Divo is sent to the Senate to investigate the murder of Onaconda Farr. It's a job Divo fears will generate a lot of paper work."
It also has information about the riot troopers, but I don't think they apply. Hope that helps. Alexrd (talk) 11:04, October 30, 2012 (UTC)
Hello, Alexrd! Since you do possess the blue-ray edition of The Phantome Menace, I wondered if you could upload better versions of a few images I need. These are from a cutscene that features Adrian Dunbar as "Bail Organa" and the rest of the cut Alderaanian delegation. The current versions of these pictures were taken from the Internet, so their quality isn't really outstanding. I know five pics is many requests at a time, but it's all in a good cause: all those images are to be used in the framework of the current politics barn-burner. :)
So, if you have time to do it, I'd be grateful. Here are the five requested pics:
File:AlderaanianDelegation.png
File:DunbarBluescreen.png
File:BailAntillesTPM.jpg
File:BailAntillesPortrait.png
File:AgrippaPortrait.png
Thanks in advance for your time. --LelalMekha (talk) 19:00, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
Sure thing. But just so you know, the deleted scenes are not in very high resolution. So while I can get them with a bit more detail, their resolution will be much lower. Compare these two pictures:
This is because the deleted scenes are upscaled and thus suffer from artifacts like macroblocking.
P.S: Actually, that was a bad example, since that was from the deleted scene intro. I shall get a new one soon. Alexrd (talk) 19:38, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
As you seem to be much more savvy than I am about image resolution and so forth, I would trust your experience and judgement in what's the best thing to do. Just let me know. --LelalMekha (talk) 20:22, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. I've just replaced all of them, see if you like them better now. The "BailAntillesTPM.jpg" is now replaced with "Alderaan Delegation.png", as seen above (if you prefer the one with higher resolution but much less detail, replace it back in the Bail Antilles article). As I said, there is not that much of an improvement, but I think it's a little bit better. Alexrd (talk) 20:53, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks for the uploads. If I may abuse your kindness and patience, could I please request that you take another shot for "File:Alderaan Delegation.png" ? The thing is that Bail's position is exactly the same and this and "File:BailAntillesPortrait.png", which is a cropped version of it. For the sake of diversity, I'd prefer if the "Alderaan Delegation" picture was a bit different, with Bail and Aldrete looking at each other—as it was before. After that, I promise I'll leave you alone. ^^' --LelalMekha (talk) 20:57, November 7, 2012 (UTC)
Hello Alexrd, that's me again. I'm currently working on a detailed survey of the futhork inscriptions in Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace. There is a scene in which we can see a bunch of Naboo soldiers and engineers with futhork writing on their helmets. Unfortunately, the DVD version is way too blurry to decipher the inscriptions—as you can see there. It happesn just before the Queen and the Jedi leave Naboo via the Theed Hangar. If you could provide me with a blu-ray version of such shots, it'd be marvelous. (By the way, you don't seem to ever need any help at all here on the Wook, but please do remember that I'm willing to return the favour after all those HD pictures you uploaded for me.) --LelalMekha (talk) 14:09, December 2, 2012 (UTC)
Done, feel free to ask for more shots when you need. And thanks for the help offer. Alexrd (talk) 12:26, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
Thanks. In fact, any shot where you can see an inscription on the engineers helmets is most welcome. It seems that at least five other people on this picture have writing on their helmet, so if you see any shot where one of these is readable, it would be really helpful. --LelalMekha (talk) 13:54, December 3, 2012 (UTC)
Sure. They are taken in jpeg, but I can do png's as well. I was under the impression that jpeg was standard for Wookieepedia. --R5-X41238-G8-R3-3124-D2 21:38, December 9, 2012 (UTC)
First I wasn't aware the other version existed, and second because of the lack of pictures on the net, i had to create my on screen capture from a bad quality video.
I was not aware this picture existed, because when I searched for pictures of this category, i.e v-19s and axe, nothing came up, this is also why I added the imagecat thing on the v-19s page, to notify other users that the pictures they're looking for are already on the site.
Just out of interest as well, do you create screen caps yourself? Because the V-19 page is one that is in need of some good quality ones, especially the battle over Teth. --Warpath 16:35, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
Unfortunatly all my Star wars are on blu-ray, and I don't have the Blu-ray drive for my computer. And like I said earlier, if you can make some caps of the V-19 in combat, landing or in general, that would be great. --Warpath 17:00, December 14, 2012 (UTC)
All right then, I will continue like that. --XXLVenom998(Surprise me!) 13:06, January 21, 2013 (UTC)
You don't say! Maybe I would if I had the chance, but with this new method, I can't give several details like the source when uploading! Otherwise, what's the problem with my pictures? Cheers, --XXLVenom998(Surprise me!) 19:28, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
This is all the options I can do when I upload. --XXLVenom998(Surprise me!) 19:32, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
Use Special:Upload. Any quick upload buttons aren't supported. 1358(Talk) 19:42, January 30, 2013 (UTC)
Well, actually, I just found them by searching the Internet. A guy on deviantART has them all[1]. This would probably cast doubt on these pictures' origins if they were not identical to confirmed official footage, only much bigger. I do not know where that person got them from, but they look absolutely official. Just compare this one with the picture that as featured on page 7 of this pdf of an official magazine. There is no doubt this is the same picture, and not a fan recreation. --LelalMekha (talk) 15:45, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
Sorry to chime in, but here is it one official version of it. Stake blackmsg 16:31, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
Well, you still can see that the background pic of Otoh Gunga is identical. --LelalMekha (talk) 16:38, February 4, 2013 (UTC)
Hey Alexrd! Whenever you a have a spare moment, could you upload a better version of File:Interrupt Bail Organa.png? JMAS told me you had the HD TV version of AOTC, which is way better for screenshots than the blu-ray. Whenever you have time, anyway: there's no rush. :) Regards. --LelalMekha (talk) 00:30, February 7, 2013 (UTC)
Done. The Blu-ray has a sharper picture, but it also has a weird teal tint all over it. I could try to take a new screenshot from it later on and try to fix the colour timing. Alexrd (talk) 01:13, February 7, 2013 (UTC)
Well, it's already much clearer like that, thank you. Of course, if you could fix a blu-ray pic, I guess it would be even better. But I don't want it to be a chore. --LelalMekha (talk) 01:17, February 7, 2013 (UTC)
I'm already trying to do that for most of AotC screenshots, it's just a matter of start uploading whenever I have the time. Unfortunately, some shots are almost impossible to fix. Still, if I can get a better version of that one, I'll upload it. Alexrd (talk) 01:26, February 7, 2013 (UTC)
I see no reason to rename the image. If its an improved version of the existing image, then upload over the top of it. If its a new image entirely, then just upload it under a different filename. - Sir Cavalier of One(Squadron channel) 22:07, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
Again, I see no reason to change the specific naming of an existing image to a generic descriptor simply because you want your image to have that name. Choose a new file name and upload the image. - Sir Cavalier of One(Squadron channel) 22:39, March 19, 2013 (UTC)
