Fiolla

 * Fiolli, just wanted to let you know that my new short story, "Deception on R'alla," was the one I'd mentioned to you earlier about Fiolla. She's in it as a supporting character, if you're interested, though the storyline might be kind of confusing if you've not read some of the Force Exile stuff. Anyway, just fyi, no pressure to read it or anything. ;-) I'll take a look at the next part of GAotR when I get a chance. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 19:00, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Year article
Hey man, I don't know if you saw it, but a few weeks ago I put up this blog posting saying that I was going to be making my own year articles for Alternative Saga articles here on SWF, and that I'd be using the format that you came up with. I've made a few so far, but most of them haven't been expanded to include the article sections outside of an introduction and infobox. The first one that I've expanded is 23 BBY (ASWS), and I plan to nominate it for FA here on SWF. I was wondering if you'd be able to take a look at it when you get a chance and let me know how you think it turned out, as you're the source of the format and I'm also using it as a test run for helping you out with your Wookieepedia chronology project. No rush or anything. Whenever you have time, I'd appreciate any feedback you have. Oh and at the time I leave this message I've yet to proofread it, so if there are any grammar/spelling/etc hiccups then that's why. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 04:26, November 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey, thanks for the glance so far. Yeah, there are no quotes. I normally would've included them, but since this is all "mentioned only" stuff there's nothing from the source that fits all that well. I'll see if I can find something, at least for the main quote, though. I'm going to put the article up on the FAN now. If you want to put any issues you may see there or on my talk page that's up to you, but I'll make sure the nomination doesn't close until you get your word in if need be. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 17:11, November 25, 2009 (UTC)

Since you're not overly familiar with the storyline, it may be better to just send the corrective thoughts my way and I'll correct them as needed. Thanks again. =) - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 04:55, December 3, 2009 (UTC)


 * And since you mentioned it, I fixed the "outside of" and "the year" issues. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 05:12, December 3, 2009 (UTC)

Images
Hey, I properly sourced one of the images that I uploaded previously, their is now 2 of them, I was wondering if I could delete one and if I have to change the photo on my article Jeltooine to the newer, properly sourced one, and if so, how do I do that? Thanks for all your help--TheDefilerCow (Talk) 16:33, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

I think I fixed the images you said, I sourced them and all, check them out File:Swempire-3-lg.jpg and File:187thLeader.jpg, hope that fixes the problems, i'll remember to source my images from now on, thanks.--TheDefilerCow (Talk) 17:04, February 10, 2010 (UTC)

Interview
Hey Fiolli. Congratulations again on being UOTM! I don't know how often (if at all) you follow SWF's WordPress blog, but every month we do an interview with the UOTM, similar to the Wookieepedia blog (where the idea came from). In the next few days/weeks, would you be up for an available for an interview for the blog? If so, what date and time would work best for you. Thanks, I look forward to hearing back from you! - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 03:19, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

I'm so very sorry, but the latest I can possibly be on for a while will be 9:30, and I don't think I'll be able to be on then. My nights are hard ATM. I'm so sorry! If there's any other time, I'll try to make it then. - Solus Talk to the Hand  12:17, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Image policy
Hey Fiolli. Hope all is well. I've been working a little more on updating the image policy over the last week or so, since&mdash;after we came up with that one draft&mdash;it never really went anywhere else. You can find what I currently have here.

One thing I did before getting to where I am currently is review what we came up with. From a legal mumbo jumbo standpoint, it sounded good&mdash;but from the standpoint of a young user, brand new to wikis and unfamiliar with this sort of thing, I found it complicated and intimidating. I think our minds were in the right place when we came up with that, but I think we got too caught up in an overly cautious copyright mindset.

So what I did was remove the major disclaimers about how we were going to ask that someone go for fair use (having to list every single use of the image and what not in the information template, even though the image page does that anyway) or mention that a user is legally responsible for all copyright disputes, not Star Wars Fanon or Wikia. That, I thought, was the intimidating part. I found that it could possibly discourage people from uploading images if they read that. They'd be so afraid they'd break the law that they wouldn't even bother. That's something we want to avoid.

To simplify the legality issue, I put a link to Wikia's Terms of Use into the external links section. The User Conduct section of the Terms of Use states that a user agrees to not "Post, upload, transmit, share, or store content which is unlawful, defamatory, infringing, obscene, or invasive of another's right to privacy or publicity." For our purposes, the emphasis is on "unlawful," which (as I was told when I asked Wikia) also serves as a copyright warning. The User Conduct section also says a user agrees to "Only use the services in a manner consistent with these Terms of Use and in compliance with applicable laws..." For the purpose of images, that would also mean copyright laws.

This is something I considered for awhile. Although it makes sense to write that in our policy, by registering an account and/or editing here it's already assumed that a user reads and understands that, because it's what a user agrees to when they register an account and/or edit. I don't think we want to slap people in the face with scary copyright warnings; image uploading should definitely be encouraged, not inadvertently discouraged with legal disclaimers. It's their responsibility to know the Terms of Use they agreed to. I think by linking to the Terms of Use, we do enough.

Right now, the policy page itself is very simple and straightforward. It gives the basic ways to upload an image, what the information template means, additional guidelines, and a section on violations. I deliberately left this simple and without a lot of meatier information, because I find that the longer the policy, the less likely a person will read it. Because of that, I'm working on an image policy tutorial for those who need it that takes everything said in the policy and fleshes it out a lot more.

That's what I have so far. I'd be interested in hearing your feedback! - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 03:42, October 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * I could probably try to find a straight-forward way of putting that in. One thing we don't have to worry about, though, is protecting SWF, or Wikia for that matter. So long as we act on any copyright claim (i.e. deleting the image, no questions asked), it's my understanding that Wikia and its wikis have safe harbor protections. The users are responsible for what they upload. We're just responsible for handing any problems that we see. For example, if someone uploads an image that says it's fair use with permission, we're not responsible for having to verify that (unless we know it's blatantly false). We're just responsible for dealing with it if the copyright holder comes knocking. And that's really only necessary for non-franchise sorts of images, aka. not sourcing Star Wars images&mdash;even on Wookieepedia&mdash;wouldn't really incur the wrath of LFL, because going after popular fan sites would be a) bad press and b) counter-productive for the purposes of creating and sustaining interest in the franchise. We just do it because it's the right thing to do, so we do it for all images. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 23:37, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Quotes
Mate, i've seen the quote 250 times, and I look forward to laughing at it each time I go on this wikia. I totally appreciate it.

RE: Starring in...
Yeah, I'd love to! I don't know what I would do in it or what I would be like, though. I don't quite know how to parody myself, you see. :p Ah, let's see, a name... um... Solus is Latin, what's Latin for Cheese? erm... Casei. Okay, I can be Casei Solus. If that won't work, I can make it pronounced differently and have it be Casei Solùs (soh-LOOSE). Whatever. Have fun with it. :D - Solus Talk to the Hand  17:39, January 21, 2011 (UTC)
 * Appearance? Erm....I'm a brunette with shoulder-length wavy/curly hair and I love wearing bright colors. Oh, and I have glasses. So...just go from there. I'd prefer something leaning more towards adorable than hot if it comes to that. :p - Solus Talk to the Hand  19:02, January 22, 2011 (UTC)

Template
Hi Fiolli, what is the name of the template on the User:Jedimasterfiolli/SWF page that has Ben Kenobi on it? I went to the file page (ObiWanKenobi.jpg) and it only includes a link to said page and not the template. I'd really appreciate the help, or at the very least, could I borrow the coding for it from the page? Thank you. - I'm the Chosen One So the Prophecy says... 17:17, January 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Obviously my name's not Fiolli, but.... It's hard coded onto the page. You'd have to copy and paste the coding from the sub-page itself. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:36, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Which is why I asked if I could copy the coding, Rhea. Anyway, Fiolli, it isn't a big deal. I will just create a similar one to yours at some point in the future. No need to go to the further trouble of making one because I want it. Thank you for the reply and help. - I'm the Chosen One So the Prophecy says... 20:31, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Galaxy infobox
I appreciate that you have taken the time to formally create a galaxy infobox. The reason why I hadn't created it when creating my article is that I did not know whether it is allowed to paste templates in from Wookieepedia, so I made it de facto. --&mdash; TK-999  (Comm channel) (Campaign of conquest) 16:20, January 29, 2011 (UTC)

Re: New short story
Hey Fiolli, sorry I haven't gotten back to you sooner. I'll be sure to take a look at the story when I get a chance. I'm not sure when I will, but I'll try to soon. I'm sure it's fine, though. :) - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:50, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Character Question
I will do so.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 19:14, May 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * I nearly completed the backstory stuff. I have a question: Is Imconon Human or alien? I wrote the backstory based on the assumption that he was Human, but I can change it if necessary.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 01:04, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Okay, since he appears to be on the side of Solus, I was thinking that he has something of a difficult childhood. As a nervous kid he would be picked on and would wind up developing anti-planetist and pro-diversity feelings. His intelligence and stature as a middle-class citizen allows him to join the police. His training gives him the skills necessary to, later, join the underground resistance military operations where he winds up being arrested and he ultimately escapes.

I am replying in bits so you can give me feedback on what you think. I hope that is fine. By the way, thank you for the honor of allowing me to influence your fanon! - I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 03:24, May 12, 2011 (UTC)

Image policy and tutorial
Hey Ataru. Since you were vocal in opposition to the last image policy proposal here, would you mind sharing your thoughts on the new proposed image policy and image policy tutorial? The policy is deliberately left simple, skimpy, and straightforward, with the tutorial providing the explanations and reasons.
