Star Wars: Turning Point
Do you mind if I restore Star Wars: Turning Point? I see no reason to delete a fan fic entry when it can be moved to a subpage per the MOS and have a two sentence home article created about it. I'm perfectly willing to do that if you don't mind me restoring it. - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 05:03, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Qotw quick revert
The problem with that is that the mistake is in the source. You aren't allowed to change things that copied from the source. Therefore, it should be as the author intended, unless they want it changed.- I'm the Chosen One  05:32, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

For the image i uploaded
I did fill out the info and everything, but when i pressed save it did not update, so i tried again, still did not update, after the third try, i gave up...--Wuher MosEisley 17:39, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

The Alan Parsons Project

 * Just a short update (unless we for some reason want to make a FanonProject page for this thing): I have just convinced the honorable Brandon Rhea to join the Alan Parsons Project! This brings us up to a six-person team of myself, Goodwood, Solus, JM76, Trak, and (obviously) Brandon (supergeeky said he'd like to contribute, but isn't sure he'll have the time. Incidentally, I can't seem to find his talk page). -MPK, Free Man  18:55, July 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * ULTRA-SUPER XXXXTREME UPDATE: As of this posting, the Alan Parsons Project is officially at a go. Each of you should soon receive an e-mail containing the outlines of your assigned chapters, along with some guidelines. Good writing, everyone, and thanks for joining the team. -MPK, Free Man  22:03, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Post-script: I understand you and Trak are on vacation or some malarkey; that is not a problem (this is decidedly a no-pressure-allowed project). -MPK, Free Man  22:03, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Could Use Help
Hey I'm MtxDevin don't know if you remeber me but I'd like to come back to this wiki but need help making that template box for a clone. Think you could help? --MtxDevin (Talk) 17:06, August 5, 2011 (UTC)

Um did you get my message and could you help? --MtxDevin (Talk) 19:16, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Re:RCs
Doesn't work that way. First of all, there was massive inconsistencies with that rule, I saw upward of 100 pages that retained both. Second, Darkness era applies only to the person whose fanon is within the Darkness era, (your fanon, my fanon, Wylind's fanon, etc would not be placed in a darkness era, but the Post-legacy era). Just because one era is in a year article does not mean it cancels out another. You do not see that happen to other era that have two categories. Post-Legacy era is considered a Canon era so it should not be erased from any page it falls within because another era was added to it. That is just the way it is.- I'm the Chosen One  20:43, August 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll dispute what ITCO said about canon and say that Post-Legacy isn't a canon era, since there is nothing beyond the Legacy era at this point. However, "Post-Legacy era" was made as a sort of catch-all for SWFanon year articles that take place after the Legacy era, so I don't agree with you (Goodwood) in that the reversions were necessary. Eras aren't meant to be in-universe terms anyway, so a year can belong to more than one era&mdash;such as anything on SWFanon after the Legacy era being considered Post-Legacy era. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 20:51, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

Whatever I legally do with my edits is my business and the plain fact is that you were wrong. I don't your attitude that you must revert something that isn't truly redundant and doesn't harm the page. I could accuse you of padding your count by mindlessly reverting things you don't like and adding about seven thousand article stubs that are just stubs and have no future of being expanded upon. If I truly wanted to pad my count I'd go fix or properly stub your articles. The precedent was incorrectly set by you, there was no such precedent prior to your edit padding purge of that category. So the spirit of the law stands since what you did perverted the law wrongly. I don't see how the PL-era argument doesn't hold water when we don't remove the canon eras from other era pages (e.g. If there is a fanon era that coincides with the Rebellion era we don't remove the latter, why should PL era be any different?). I don't mean to criticize or anything of that matter, but you made me a little bit angry with your accusations.- I'm the Chosen One  21:01, August 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yes, I saw that. If you say so, although they do look awfully close to stubs. I guess they would categorized as the twin lost at birth.- I'm the Chosen One  21:12, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Image
You're really a robot? Hot. - Solus Talk to the Hand  21:15, August 6, 2011 (UTC)

RE:
I have trouble posting the template up. And yes my clone does live to become a stormtrooper.

Thank you.

Re: CC-2815
Ah...sorry about this. When you moved my article to my profile for me to work on it, I hadn't read the message you sent me, so I re-uploaded it. You may want to go ahead a remove the newly uploaded one, now that I've seen your message.

Revan Onasi
Hey. Neither being uncategorized nor having the placeholder image are reasons to delete an article in terms of policy, mainly because it only takes a few seconds to fix. Can you restore that article please? - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 05:55, August 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * I forgot to mention last night when I left this message, I'm not able to get onto IRC at my hotel (it never loads Freenode) or else I would've mentioned this there. - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 16:10, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Images
Um yea I found those images on google and edited them myself. So I have no source execept for wookiepedia maybe. Anyway Idk how to source them cause im new and most wikis dont require that --MtxDevin (Talk) 00:19, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Articles
Hey Major, I would like all my articles and images to be deleted. I have copied the code and intend to move them some day to my own Saga Expanded wiki that I have set up. Also, due to AFROTC and Civil Air Patrol, and the burden of schoolwork, I no longer have time to contribute here. I may one day return, but or now, I must concentrate on my future. Thanks!  Seb  olto  18:52, August 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * If you insist. :P I'll leave 'em up to rot until Geonosis freezes over. I've been working on my wiki for a while now, and I have most of the annoying little bits of coding down. It's basically just a copy of Brandon's Alternative Universe wiki.  Seb  olto  21:07, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

I was going to use that header, it was just late at night, so I put it there so I knew what I was going to today. IceBite (Talk) 15:39, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

mnobook.css
Hey. Just dropping a line that there is no need to protect your personal monobook.css; it is protected by default so that only the user and administrators can edit. Cheers! 10:02, August 23, 2011 (UTC)

delete please
can you delete Third Mandalorian War and First Battle of Onderon (Third Mandalorian War), vor'e ner burc'ya --Jacen Fett (Talk) 03:56, August 30, 2011 (UTC)

Birthday
Happy birthday, Goodwood! - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  05:47, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * For 32 years have you been stranded on Earth&hellip; 09:13, September 11, 2011 (UTC)

Sockpuppetry
Hey Goodwood. First, happy birthday, many more. Second, I figured I'd tell you as you were the one who blocked him in the first place. User:Fennecfox13, blocked for image policy problems, editing earlier using this IP. Earlier today, User:Sports Guide was created. In his first edit he admitted to being Fennecfox13. This is sockpuppetry and block avoiding. I don't know what the official action to take is, and as it wouldn't be my place to do anything anyway, I figured I'd tell you and you and the admins can take care of it. Thanks  Savage  1138  00:40, September 12, 2011 (UTC)

Editing policy
Hey Goodwood! I saw that recently, a user followed a red link from Jacen Fett's article, Phoenix Skywalker-Beviin, to create Darth Hezex and proceeding to remove certain elements related to said person in Beviin. Since the user appears to be uncooperative, I decided to restrict my editing and consult you to prevent further escalation. What do you suggest? 16:31, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. 16:58, September 15, 2011 (UTC)

Block evasion
The anonymous user 24.115.227.131 identified herself as blocked user Fennecfox13 with this edit. Feel free to act as necessary. Cheers, 18:01, September 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nevermind. Duplicate notice&hellip;} 18:30, September 16, 2011 (UTC)

Really?
Question, not to be rude. Why'd you delete Sgt. Mass? I was gonna work on him later. ;L --Oh. Another Fail, Kol. 00:29, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Oh. You changed his name. I apologise; my vista's stupid with Internet 9. --Oh. Another Fail, Kol. 00:30, September 19, 2011 (UTC)

Images
Hello, Goodwood, Ahsoka Asona here. I am very curious, I would like to upload a picture of a Star Wars character from Wookieepedia, as there appears to be none of them on here. But, I do not know how to source an image, and worry about getting blocked for something I do not know how to do. I have some questions. Would you be the one to ask? --Ahsoka Asona (Talk) 17:26, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Image use warning
I'm sorry about that, I couldn't see the licensing from where you upload the images, so I had no idea that I need permission. I did not know that I need special permission for use of particular images. Is there any way I can check while I'm editing? --Ahsoka Asona (Talk) 05:41, September 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Understood. But if someone were to ask a user if they could use one of their images and they allowed it, then it would be alright to use the image, correct? I just want to make sure I have this right. I appreciate your time, --Ahsoka Asona (Talk) 05:48, September 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * I'll keep that in mind. Thank you for your time and help, I really do appreciate the answers and patients. --Ahsoka Asona (Talk) 06:01, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Alright I will do my Darth Varr article without using copyright

Jaq In His Box
Hey, just giving you a heads up, I nominated Jaq In His Box for FW. I don't know if you have to accept it or not... Anyway, just wanted to let you know.  Savage  1138  19:32, October 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * IMO, it deserves it. :)  Savage  1138  20:42, October 4, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Bot request
What's the difference between JDstub and ? They both end up saying more or less the same thing. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  10:59, October 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * To answer the last point first, I generally answer questions on my talk page on other wikis, just because it's easier to do it that way and because it keeps the conversation in one place. Since I'm an admin here, though, I've always responded on other people's talk pages since that gives them the new messages update. I've just decided to do both now. That said, since there isn't really a clear basis for this in policy (it's not really an ownership template in the sense that the old ones were, and it has similarities to Stubby), I think a VfD would be warranted so we can figure this out for going forward. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk)  14:56, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
