Required?!
If it's fanon, future, present, or past tense should NOT be required. Now I can understand if it was canon, but fanon should have whatever time and whatever place if it at least involves Star Wars. The Thing Standing Between You and Wikia (Talk) 17:18, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Writing a present/future story in past tense wouldn't make sense. The reader would read what date it is seeing it's in the future. But if it's written in past tense the reader will get confused, and stop reading. You see how bad it is to right everything in past tense.

Account
Greetings Rhea, I am user Senator Ty Vys (formaly CC-1575 but my account was deleted by Star Wars Fanon Wiki). Can you help me transfer the pages I've created on User:CC-1575 to User: Senator Ty Vys? I waould really appreciate it. -User:Senator Ty Vys

Wording adjustment
On this subpage, I suggest a wording adjustment in section "Great, I am a Fanoneer! now what?", sentence "Then, once Fanoneers like you". That could be construed the wrong way, so it would probably be best to adjust that part of the sentence. Just a thought.-19:12, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Featured Article Reviews
Hi, how long does it usually take for a featured article to be reviewed by all (or more than 2) of the CS members, Dax Olesa (i know your thinking here we go again) has been on the review board for a while, and i did everything that i could that was suggested (or at least i think i did) but there hasn't been any follow up since september 8.-- (Have something to say?) 00:10, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Music?
Hey Brandon,

I was writing an article about a musical group and I wanted to include a clip like those on Wikipedia. Can this be done? It is my own music, so I would not be needing any permission for it.

Can you block User Piccolo The Super Namek, because he used my sign and he edit the userpage from Sansse - he removed everything. Thanks :) He's on Community Central--Station7 (Talk) 16:57, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

No Brandon, I mean here. But you're an Administrator on Community Central aren't you? Or can't you block him there. Or should I use Special:Contact?--Station7 (Talk) 17:07, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

Imaging
How and when would I be able to upload images to my created articles?

Thanks Singhsational (Talk) 01:42, October 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Goodwood has tried to help me with this problemby telling me where to go. There has been no success as when I goto upload an image I am given a Permission error, he has also asked me to check my email to see if I activated my account which I had done.

Apparantly Im should of been added to the "autoconfirmed" group but when I attempt to upload an image it states that I am not.

Could you please get back to me on this, thank you.

Categorizing a Page
Hi, I saw the Individuals by Planet page and tried to add my own (Charmathians) but i couldnt figure out how to do it. I tried renaming the page but it wouldnt let me move it in to a cetegory namespace. I also categorized it Individuals by Planet but it came up in the bottom as a page in the category and not as a subcategory. Please help. While im asking things already i know this isnt relevant but, is anyone alowed to write a review on the review page of a nominated article? or only CS members, after all the page is called "CS: ". Thanks.-- (Have something to say?) 02:59, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * i want 2 no if i can put in my own review on the CS page, its called the CS page so i would think not, but i was just wondering.--[[image:Sw9889.jpg|100px]] (Have something to say?) 00:03, October 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm looking for something as close to fanon's system as possible. (except that i want to call it Spotlight Articles). The only thing is the i dont exactly have any contributors so the voting thing might be an issue, but I would like to have that also and i'll only institute it after i get more contributors. I dont only want to have the system, i would like to know how to work it (ie, how to make the pages, so i can fix up my poor excuse for a featured quote system, how to set up a version of a CS page etc). thank you. (if you have any questions about what i mean let me know). Also if you have any ideas that might help me get contributors or things like that please let me know. thanks.--[[image:Sw9889.jpg|100px]] (Have something to say?) 00:54, October 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yeah basically but i also want to know how to apply it so i can make my own quote system and maybe other things if i get any ideas.--[[image:Sw9889.jpg|100px]] (Have something to say?) 23:02, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

 * Thank you, one more question, (sorry if I'm getting annoying but I'm new at this whole controlling a wiki alone thing) how does the "news" section on the main page work? do i have to change the main page and the "news" page both if i want to update it or is there some kind of template i can use?--[[image:Sw9889.jpg|100px]] (Have something to say?) 03:19, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * thanks alot, i think that's it.--[[image:Sw9889.jpg|100px]] (Have something to say?) 03:22, October 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * One more thing, is there any way I can get the quotes to randomize on the main page? (IE one day the quote is "hello", the next day its "hi" etc...).--[[image:Sw9889.jpg|100px]] (Have something to say?) 21:54, October 24, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Image policy
Hello, Brandon. All is well for me, and I hope it is for you, as well. I understand entirely what you mean with the image policy. I agree, our hearts were in the right place, but the execution could use refinement. I like what you've done, and it is much simpler to understand right now. I also think that pulling the grittier information out and putting it (essentially) into a tutorial page is good wisdom for new users.

My only suggestion, however, is that it is made very clear in the policy that image use must fall under fair use. Now, we don't have to use that term, as it is a legal term, but that must be conveyed. There must be a tepid way to approach this, as we need to be forthright in a manner that protects SWF. Linking to the terms of use is a great idea, and perhaps taking a snippet or comment from there might be appropriate. Something from CGSociety, Worth1000, or DeviantArt would undoubtedly be forked if something is not put in there mentioning this to at least some extent. As far as the reducing of legalese and detailed information, this is my biggest concern. Since not all images from IMDB, for example, are available to us under fair use, as well, maybe some type of clarification is in order. Perhaps something showing that we must either validate permission from the creator of the work, or one must be able to verify that it came from something that is not a copyrighted image like something in a newspaper, magazine, or something that a paparazzi would take. Sadly, this is difficult to state in plain language, but that's my only concern. I just want to make sure SWF is protected.

Perhaps the best way to approach this would be to put something in the violations section that highlights that images taken exactly from a source must have copyright information provided unless it is a screenshot, promotional image, etc. Then again, the beauty of a wiki (and one that has active admins) is that a violating image can be handled swiftly. Perhaps we should just trust the RC patrolling. I'll leave that to your discretion, but I'm inclined to have at least one sentence in there about copyright law, even if it is simplified or generalized and linked to a full-blown policy.

Have a great day, and (as you have all along) keep up the good work. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 22:25, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Brandon. I am not going to be getting on today on the Star Wars RP site. I'm sick with a sore throat and a headache. This is the first sickness I have had in years. So please communicate that I will not be on all day to Sreeya. I might not even get on tomorrow. - Lemon slice

What the heck happened?
What the heck happened on the Star Wars RP site? I just checked and it said I am banned for a day for attacking Keinushi in her character thread. When I have I done that? I looked back and there is no point in which I attacked her. Why am I banned for a day she called me a piece of silt... Is this because I used caps instead of bold at times?

 * I didn't attack Keinushi though. Not a single thing I said there was meant to attack her.--Pokakaa (Talk)

Deleting a File
Hey, I can't figure out how to delete a file I added. What is it that I need to do?--Skyrocket (Talk) 11:42, October 21, 2010 (UTC)

SWF's Monobook skin
Just a thought for you to ponder: Upon seeing confirmation from Wikia via global notice that Monaco will be fed to the sarlacc on 3 November, I have switched to using Monobook for all wikis. That said, it is readily apparent that our Monobook skin needs updating (for example, there's still a link to the now-defunct Alliance of Fanon in the sidebar, and the "Random featured" surely needs redoing) Also, though I am by no means familiar with the code, it seems as though the skin itself could use a little graphical sprucing up; a lot of old hands still don't like Oasis, and I'm one of them. In any event, I just wanted to point this out, in case you or someone else wanted to have a go at updating our Monobook look. 06:06, October 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps a muted skyline in the background, much like the Wook has Coruscant, would help. Perhaps Tatooine, or something.  Otherwise, I much prefer the simple and minimalist design we currently have.  Too many tweaks and additions to it may detract from it.  In terms of encyclopedic sites (and professional sites altogether), from a design perspective, I see less is more.   Trak Nar  Ramble on 06:16, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

I was going to wait until after the November 3rd date, but since you guys asked I went ahead and put up a Monobook design. It uses the same cityscape background as the new look, giving us some continuity. I set the background image as fixed too, that way nothing fancy needs to be done with it to get it to match or anything. I think it looks pretty good. I'll fix up the sidebar too. Also, the images above the search bar, we may want to consider getting rid of those. They were interesting at the time, but having Captain Archer and Master Chief in there might give people the wrong impression. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:22, October 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also, just so there's no misunderstanding, this is obviously a work in progress. I know there are some things that are a bit difficult to read in the sidebar and the user name, talk, preferences, etc. area. :) - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:35, October 22, 2010 (UTC)

Pazzi
Hi, Brandon, a long time. Look, I just started a number of articles related to another story of my invention, beginning with my current project, Bartholomeus de' Pazzi (an obvious homage to Assassin's Creed series). I have a question, is it entirely necessary to write a story if you want to create an article on the SWFanon wiki? I can write it, but I don't know how to upload it and what to do with it when I'm finished. I would really appreaciate your help on this matter if you tell me what is the necessary thing I have to do. Thanks.--Lord David (Talk) 02:05, November 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks, Brandon, but how can I write the story and upload it here? Could you please tell me how and the necessary for that? Thanks.--Lord David (Talk) 17:38, November 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thank you, I just read the link and I understand the way I must do it. However, that section refers to entire works of fiction of numerous chapters, but the story I wish to write&mdash;titled Tale of Pazzi&mdash;is short and does not contain chapters. It is practically a report, pretty much like the ones by Master Gnost-Dural. In that case, which page do I use for parent page? I could make the article of the story, and then a subpage with it, is that the way I have to do it... or at least it goes that way?--Lord David (Talk) 17:50, November 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, Brandon. I just finished Tale of Pazzi/story, and I thank you for all your support and help. Could you please read it and tell me what it seemed to you? It's pretty short, I think, but it certainly feels like a good read. Well, see ya.--Lord David (Talk) 01:05, November 16, 2010 (UTC)

I left requests on the talk pages of several members of the CoS and still nobody has posted any reviews. It is sort of disheartening to see all these other articles get reviewed, and featured-ized while poor Dax Olesa is sitting there rotting away from lack of attention.

Question
Hey Brandon, I've been working on my articles, trying to do some general cleanup of them. And I have a question, for some of the articles about ships, people have added pictures then below it all the info like the commanders and stuff, I was wondering, how do I do that? I would like to do that for all my articles if I can find out how to do it. Thanks Sithproductions

Pics

How can I use the original when it's on the Original site? Doesn't it have to be on the SWfanon site? Lord Kroger (Talk) 19:21, December 7, 2010 (UTC)

RE: 6WA co-host
Yes, I certainly do accept it. -- D.W. (talk)(Glorior) 04:47, December 11, 2010 (UTC)

Search pictures
This might be a stupid question but how do you choose pictures that appear above the search bar (in MonoBook)? And how the thing works anyways? (Our version in Finnish Fanon Wiki doesn't work at the moment at all, but I would like to get it working, I just don't know how.)--Dionne Jinn&mdash; Did you say something? 12:13, December 12, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Hosts
Yeah, I accept. Not as if I have any other major plans and this'll give me some more practice for setting up other contests and hopefully making them a bit less complicated than the fiasco that was the Image Contest.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:41, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

Background image
I just popped the background image into Photoshop, added a Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer, colorized it to a muted light gray-blue and I wanted to pop it into the layout to see how it looked. Only, I don't remember where to do that.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 20:06, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Done and done. Though, on my end, it seems that Wikia is having its weird caching problem again.  Could you double-check, make sure I didn't somehow screw it up?  Trak Nar  Ramble on 20:22, December 13, 2010 (UTC)

Might be a good time to archive your messages.

Introduction Word Minimum
Dear Brandon,

Incidental as it is to the actual purpose of this post, Merry Christmas.

I am currently preparing a long series of pages for posting, and I have a question about the Layout Guide for articles here: http://swfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Fanon:Layout_Guide - Section "In-Universe", Subsection "Introduction". It states that Introductions should be "at least two hundred words or more". Is this an absolute, hard-and-fast rule? I ask because A) It seems to push sometimes to the point of artificiality, becoming needlessly verbose in an Introduction to meet the minimum, and B) Relatedly, it seems to force reiteration of points that will be covered later in the Main Article.

I look, for example, at even crucial articles on Wookieepedia such as Jedi Knight and Galactic Emperor, which have Introductions that fall woefully short of two hundred words. It seems to me that this is because the information presented in the article more logically and aesthetically fits in the Main Body, sub-categorized based on subject. For something like a biographical article of a major character, it seems easy to condense someone's enormous life for a sum-up for two hundred words, but for organizations, ships, and even lesser characters, I feel as though a long Introduction borrows so much from the Main Article that the page as a whole will sound repetitive.

The alternative, of course, of having just a long article without dividing Main Article from Introduction, sometimes works, but more often it seems to me that information is better presented in the sub-headings format for which wikis are famous.

So, to boil it down, is the two hundred word limit absolutely required for any article that has a Introduction and a separate Main Article? Or is there some give based on the subject?

Thanks in advance for your reply.

 * In a note the above conversation, the aforementioned Wookieepedia articles aren't FAs and shouldn't be used as the best of examples. Second, this isn't Wookieepedia. ;) Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 17:15, December 30, 2010 (UTC)

Wookie(e)pedia
Thanks, I didn't notice that. By the way, I was in shock when I saw how large your talk archives are. I have never seen any user with so many different archives. --Marek &quot;Mighty&quot; Joesph (Talk) 23:02, December 31, 2010 (UTC)

Deleted pages
Recently I haven't been updating my articles very much and I don't have the same passion for them that I used to. However I was wondering; if you leave an article un-updated for too long will the article get deleted? Or do you just delete bad articles or ones that the writers want to get rid of? I have only rarely updated recently but I'm worried that if I leave it too long my articles might be gone when I next come on the site.--Powerstaark (Talk) 23:40, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Adopted Clone troopers
Hey Brandon, I know the correct citation of Clone Troopers and the like is by number, for example, A-23 or RC-1138. However, in my fanon works, several main clone troopers are legally adopted into a non-clone officer's family. Should the name of the article be the clone's numerical designation or his new legal name? --Sebolto (Talk) 22:39, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Sweet, thanks. I realized that was the policy, I just wasn't sure about Clone troopers in particular. --Sebolto (Talk) 00:52, January 8, 2011 (UTC)

Prosecutor
Yea, forgive me if I've been wondering along, but do you know any information of what happened to the R.A.S. Prosecutor after Delta Squad left the ship, on the Star Wars Republic Commando Story? If not more or less thank you so much!--Corusant (Ramblin Man) 03:26, January 8, 2011 (UTC)
