Joining the community
Hey ! Sorry if this added message seems a bit overwhelming after the huge welcome message you just received, but what I wanted to say is important enough to re-emphasize it here. I wanted to make sure you were as aware as possible of the fantastic community we have here on the wiki. There is literally so much to do beyond just working on your own articles. I definitely don't want to sound like I'm suggesting you shouldn't work on your own articles, but there's a larger community out there too and we'd all love for you to get involved! If you have any questions about the community, which I strongly encourage you to participate in, don't hesitate to ask me. Thanks, and once again welcome to Star Wars Fanon! – Brandon Rhea  (talk) 18:47, March 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Great, glad to hear you're enjoying the wiki so far! Did you find us because of the Wikia spotlight? - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 20:57, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Mistake!
Don't worry, it's no problem at all. Even a lot of our current articles haven't been fixed like that yet. It's a fairly new rule that was just recently put into our new Manual of Style. =) - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 21:55, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Uploading
Using the Information template provided on Special:Upload, you need to include, at a minimum, the description of what the image is being used for, the primary source, and a licensing template. If you know the author then you need to put that too. Additionally, if you made any modifications to the image, however small they may have been, you need to mention those in the "filespecs" section. Hope that helps! - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 15:46, March 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, just so you know, you need to either use your real name or a pen name for your Station7 article. Only using your user name renders it redundant, in which case you should just use your user page. This is per the Manual of Style. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 15:49, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

A name that you make up if you don't want someone to know your real name. For example, Susan Donnam is not the real name of Solus, but rather a pen name. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 15:56, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Tense
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that, per the Manual of Style, all in-universe articles need to be written in the past, not present, tense. Thanks! =) - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 16:36, March 9, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Archive
I plan to archive it once the table of contents gets to 100 sections. =) - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:18, March 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yup! Just to make sure, were you just making a suggestion, or is the long talk page causing your computer to lag? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:25, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Heh, alright. Glad it's not causing problems. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:33, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Reading
What do you mean? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:40, March 12, 2010 (UTC)
 * The easiest way would be to go here and scroll down to the "Release" section. That has a list of all the chapters for download and a full download of the entire novel thus far. - Chosen One So the Prophecy says... 17:47, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

I doubt this will work, but starwarsrp.com has a copy, although you have to download the chapters. There is no non-downloadable copy I am afraid, in the current incarnation at least.- Chosen One So the Prophecy says... 18:08, March 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I can e-mail you word documents, but that, of course, would require you to give me your e-mail address, provided you're comfortable with that. Before that, though, do you have Adobe Reader on your computer? If not, it'd be beneficial to download it as .PDF files are widely used and you need that program to open them. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 22:10, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

Do you have Adobe Reader though? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 22:16, March 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * What do you mean by "register yourself?" There's no registration required. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 22:31, March 12, 2010 (UTC)

If you're able to, you should try downloading the English version here, where you wouldn't have to register. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 22:36, March 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I thought you said the English Adobe Reader worked? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:26, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

If it worked then I don't need to e-mail it to you. You can use the link that ITCO provided you above. For reference, click here and then go down to the table of contents. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:36, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * Great! - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:39, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Cool. If you plan to read the book, though, it'd be a good idea to read that before you read the article. The article is filled with spoilers. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:50, March 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * No I haven't. I've only read the articles of yours that I've helped to clean up. Sorry. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:00, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

Community
I meant to tell you earlier, now that you have over 100 mainspace edits (as seen here), you now meet the requirements of the voting policy and can participate in any community vote! This means you can vote on items in the consensus track and on User of the Month, Quote of the Week, featured article nominations, good article nominations, and so forth. =) - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:44, March 14, 2010 (UTC)

License
Hey, I just wanted to let you know that you forgot to give File:Jedi woman.jpg a license. Please be sure to do that ASAP. Thanks! - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 00:16, March 15, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Some articles I wanna creating
All of those things should be in a behind the scenes section on the Star Wars: The Real Empire article. They shouldn't be their own articles since it's part of The Real Empire. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:53, March 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Not really. You should just talk about that in a BTS section to talk about the two different timelines. The (Other Timeline) and (Normal Timeline) things you put in article titles distinguish them well enough. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 19:06, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Behind the scenes. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 19:13, March 20, 2010 (UTC)

Sourcing
Hey Station, just to clarify on sourcing, you need to state the original source of an image, not just the place where you found it. For example, File:Sarah Shephard .jpg wouldn't have the source as a page on the Lost Wiki, nor is that user the author. The source would instead be Lost. You can also link to that image on Lost Wiki, but you also need to give the proper source. Episode names would be beneficial, but not necessary. I've added it to this image for you, but be sure to remember that in the future. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:28, March 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Perfect. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:44, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Reminder
"I'm sure I can trust you..."

- You

I just wanted to make sure you know we can all read what you post on another's talk page. So you saying you can trust Brandon with your e-Mail address is kind of useless. If you thought you were giving just him your e-Mail address: you're wrong, because now we all have it. I'm not saying we're going to do anything, but I just wanted to make sure you know that whatever you write on this site is viewable by all. -- (Conference Room)  16:46, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * No, no. (Besides you can't anyways.) I just wanted to make sure you do know that we can read what you post. It would be a shame if you posted a deep, dark secret for Brandon and we all read it.  --Wylindsig.png  (Conference Room)  16:50, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

No, it's not dangerous. Barely anyone, save for Wylind apparently lol, would bother to read my talk page archives. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:51, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

...Okay... What is it? -- (Conference Room)  16:58, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Wow. That's quite a load you just dumped on me, there. --Wylindsig.png (Conference Room)  17:14, March 21, 2010 (UTC)
