... Why are you asking me? The dread intricacies of photos arebeyond my ken. --Maru (talk)Contribs 07:07, 4 November2005 (UTC)


Irvin Kershner edit

Hello. Irvin Kershner was the director of the Empire Strikes Back. He did not act in the film (or, at least, was certainly not known forthat primarily), so please don't change the category from 'Star Wars'to 'Star Wars actors'. Thanks. --Proto t c11:04, 4 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

/me bypasses the specific dispute with some long-overdue categoryshuffling and creation. --Maru (talk)Contribs 18:36, 4 November2005 (UTC)


Wheel of Time wikicity edit

Hey, if you have any interest/inclination, there is now a Wikicitiesproject at [wot.wikicities.com] that you may be interested in. Inparticular, I'd like to get some of your experience on specializedfictional articles in our categorization scheme and some of ourlayout/policy proposals. Please see the Community portal for moreinformation. --nae'blis, who is not logged in atthe moment

Alright. Flattery will gain you much. :)--Maru (talk)Contribs 18:20, 4 November2005 (UTC)


More fanfiction. Delete away. --Jon Hart 22:17, 4November 2005 (UTC)


Thanks edit

Nae problem, lad. --Maru (talk)Contribs 01:38, 6 November2005 (UTC)


"Kobiyashi" is a sock edit

Hello. I see you've blocked "Kobiyashi" for 48hours. He's merely one of many socks: see his talk page. Thanks. --Hoary 06:24, 6November 2005 (UTC)

Unless they aren't blocked yet, my part is pretty much done here.Administrator Alerts and all that. --Maru (talk)Contribs 06:28, 6 November2005 (UTC)
Yes, sorry about that. Frankly I was very tired at the time, tootired to get my head around the syntax and usage of the relevantsockpuppet template. -- Hoary 03:28, 7 November 2005(UTC)


{{foreignchar}} vandalism edit

I've added {{sockpuppet}} templates to the user pages of all theforeignchar vandal accounts I know of, to make it easier to keep trackof them. They currently link to User:Diacrit andCategory:Wikipedia:Suspected sockpuppets of Diacrit, but that canbe changed if and when someone finds out who the real user behind allthese sockpuppets is. I'd suggest centralizing discussion of thesevandal accounts to User talk:Diacrit. —Ilmari Karonen (talk) 13:37, 6 November 2005 (UTC)Reply


Battle Meditation edit

Not that it's terribly consequential but why did you revert my editsto Battle Meditation? --Sumergocognito17:12, 6 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

Because Darth Vader has, AFAIK, nothing to do with Battle Meditation,nor did Palpatine. --Maru (talk)Contribs 17:44, 6 November2005 (UTC)


The link is actually to the very short clip of the new CG Yoda thatLucasfilm plans to insert into TPM in the next release. As youprobably know, it was featured in The Chosen One featurette on theROTS DVD. The link to the clip is there for illustrative purposesonly. I captured it myself. It is important to the article to showthe new Yoda. Though, I could just make a screenshot and put itinstead. Maybe. --The Wookieepedian 22:31,8 November 2005 (UTC)

Yes, I think a screenshot is a much better idea.--Maru (talk)Contribs 22:42, 8 November2005 (UTC)


Links vs Link edit

Re: Bluebot. Are you sure that Bluebot is working on a correct policy?I've seen bots on occasion set to fix things incorrectly, too. I usedto put "External link" singular as well but I kept being reverted byadmins telling me it was the Wikipedia style to use "links"regardless. Did something change? --23skidoo 23:45,9 November 2005 (UTC)

Actually, now that I check the style guide, I see only a disputeabout it Wikipedia_talk:Manual_of_Style_(headings)#External_links_vs_External_link. Well, it makes more sense to have the plurality of the header reflectthe contents anyway. --Maru (talk)Contribs 01:35, 10 November2005 (UTC)
I suppose, except as I mentioned earlier I had an admin (actually Ithink it was another bot) change a bunch of my pages from "Externallink" to "External links". Bluebot finally scored a hit or two onpages on my watchlist and it's just changing capitalization.--23skidoo 13:08, 10 November 2005 (UTC)Reply
As I mentioned, that's not surprising; there doesn't seem to be anyagreement at all. --Maru (talk)Contribs 21:35, 10 November2005 (UTC)
