Force Legend review request

 * Hey, Ataru. I've talked to you several times before, and you've given me a review on one of my articles. I know you're busy (just good Lord look at those Force Exile's lengths), but I ask you to do another review, this time on a novel short story I've just finished writing. Please and thank you (I hope so).  Darth Wylind ( Talk )  January 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, Ataru. I've fixed most the things you told me about regarding my Featured Work nomination for Force Legend I: Investigations. If able, I would like to get your thoughts on the short story, and leave a comment to me. You don't have to, obviously, but it would be appreciated to see what an Award-Winning author such as yourself thinks (I'm not sucking up, don't worry). Don't be kind, lay it on me. Thanks again,  Darth Wylind ( Talk ) 01:36, 14 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Wylind, I'll take a look at it when I get a chance. The truth of the matter, though, is that I'm finishing up a content release, so I won't be looking at anything else besides my own work and the works that I beta until that happens.

Special Edition
This is what I was talking about. This will eventually be fully sourced (truly sourced, no bs things that may occur in a novel like before) and will replace the actual Narod Antrell, which will then happen to every article of mine that appears in the novel (Acceptance). Also, if you notice, I'm 'doing it old school'; the image on that 'Special Edition' of Antrell is the same from the book cover. Like a real source, it is the only 'available' image of him, and will be one of the few in time. This way, everything will be so much better, although it will definitely be a long, tedious process. ;) --VICTORSPEAK 13:19, 12 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ah, I see. Nice work with the novel citations. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 15:39, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks! --VICTORSPEAK 07:27, 13 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hey Ataru. Me bugging you as usual. Can you please download and view my prerelease of TEGSVS? If not that is fine, although I want to make sure that other users (besides myself) have no problems with the file once downloaded, like no corrupted images and such. For me it comes out fine, so I hope it does for everyone else. Thank you. If you can't do it, don't worry. :) --VICTORSPEAK 12:01, 15 January 2009 (UTC)
 * As far as I could tell, everything was there. Took forever to open, though. I actually had to download it, as it was loading very slowly when I tried to place it in a browser window. Very nice looking. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 16:13, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Bah, sorry about that. Good thing I can't upload more than 5 MB. :P At full size the file is 5.7 MB, and the compressed/optimized is at 1.7 MB now. But anyway, thanks for the compliments. :) --VICTORSPEAK 20:35, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Blast
Your freakin' FEstival in the RC gave me spoilers! Noooo! :P Currently reading chapters 9/10 of FEI. Expect a response on TFN soon my friend. – Victor talk 20:17, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * XD I couldn't help that one. 9_9 Forgot the entries were titled by their latest titles. Sorry about that! I'll check up on TF.N soon. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 20:19, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

You have nude massages. As well, the BTS on Keto's Essential Guide entry helped me understand how you were able to write such an intense deathbed scene. It was very good, per my previous comments on TFN. :) – Victor talk 21:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * O.o I'm hoping that was a Freudian slip above about the messages. Thanks for the comments on Keto's BTS. It took me awhile to release that information, for obvious reasons. Also, your comment about spoilers made me curious. Would it be possible to make some kind of icon set to place on, say, EGTFE/WT that would sit in each feature box and serve as an indicator of "Okay, this thing was in FE I, and II, so don't look if you don't wish to be spoiled"? Your comments about spoilers had made me wonder about how difficult that would be. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 21:32, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

O_O No slip up. :P But anyway, I could help you make some 'era icon' type things, where they don't serve as era icons but rather a notice icons, like on StarWars.com. They have 'appears in: I - II - III - IV' etc on pages to tell you where they appear, so you could sort of do the same thing. So, if an entry has icons from the first to the third FE books (they would have FE 1-3 icons), then those who haven't read 2 and 3 will know there are spoilers. Alternatively, I safely read Keto's entry knowing not too many spoilers could be within since she passed in Fugitive. That's one I idea, and the icons could be placed in the right corner of each entry box (not the entry itself). – Victor talk 21:37, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, something like that was what I was thinking. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 21:51, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Okay, well I was thinking we do simple Roman numerals, like 'episodes' but in this case referring to your novels. Would you like to me to start off with some rough 'drafts'? – Victor <font color="#900">talk 22:02, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure, if you'd like to. Thanks. :) Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 22:04, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

I made all six icons but only uploaded two so you can see how they sort out. FEI and FEVI icons. Tell me what you think - their size will be reduced to 30x30 (standard era icon size) once you approved (or if). – <font color="#c00">Victor <font color="#900">talk 22:23, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks good to me. Simple, yet elegant. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 22:24, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Indeed, and very well then. I will proceed to resize them and uploaded all six. :) Then I will test out the coding to learn how to work it into your entry boxes, then relay it to you. :) Or, I could help you do the legwork. I don't mind, but first let me get the icons ready. – <font color="#c00">Victor <font color="#900">talk 22:26, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, sounds good. Let me know when you're ready. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 22:28, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

All icons uploaded, beta time. I'll be back with results shortly. – <font color="#c00">Victor <font color="#900">talk 22:36, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay, if you look at the sandbox, that is how it will come out. Of course, if something doesn't appear in all six novels it won't look like that. There are two rules: First, all images, both FE icons and images of the subject, must go below the header. Number two, the FE icons must go below the subject image, if there is one, otherwise it will push it horridly to the bottom. So, the sandbox shows the result with all six icons, and you can also see the format there. I can help you set it up, but I'd just need to know where each object/subject appears in. – <font color="#c00">Victor <font color="#900">talk 22:49, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Looking good, Vic, and it shouldn't be a problem for me to update all the pages&mdash;I can do that in one go. However, I do need at least one more icon, if not two&mdash;for the Yanibar Tales principally. If you could make an icon with a YT in it, I'd be much obliged. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 22:56, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh alright, surely. What second one do you need? I'll yet right onto the YT. – <font color="#c00">Victor <font color="#900">talk 22:57, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I made the YT one, but I made two versions. You decided which is best. Former or Current. If you prefer the former, just revert the revision, and if not, then leave as is and the link is Image:YT.png. – <font color="#c00">Victor <font color="#900">talk 23:05, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * The current one is fine. As for the second image, it's also a reference book, which is why I was unsure about making another icon, but I was thinking that having one for the Yanibar Guard Sourcebook might be good. Cramming YGS into the icon might be hard, though. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 23:07, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

How's this? Image:YGS.png – <font color="#c00">Victor <font color="#900">talk 23:16, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent solution. Thanks, Vic. I'll start implementing these immediately. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 23:18, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Safe to clear the sandbox, then? – <font color="#c00">Victor <font color="#900">talk 23:20, 16 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep, go ahead. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 23:22, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

OK. Just remember the 'rules'. :) – <font color="#c00">Victor <font color="#900">talk 23:23, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Hello there
This probably won't mean much to you, but your fan-fiction has been some of the most impressive that I have ever read.

--I&#39;m the Chosen One (Talk) 04:00, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I'm glad you like it. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 04:13, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

IRC comment
I saw that you asked if I was around a little while ago on IRC. Need something? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 03:48, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it was only a matter of slight lulz. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:10, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

Some updates
Hey man, I did some adding/subtracting to the story of TAA, mainly putting in more details as you have suggested in the past, specifically on part IV. Have a look if you like. Peace.--  CurrentBigThing  ( Speak ) 15:13, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look when I get a chance. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:10, 21 January 2009 (UTC)

then what
Then what!? What do I have to do to become an administrator!? It said that I had to do that!! LordDeathRay (Talk) 21:54, 29 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Are you asking me what is the general procedure for applying for administrator, or what you personally would have to do to become an administrator? Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 22:03, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Succession boxes
Hey Ataru, I was thinking earlier about succession boxes and so conjured this up for you. I was thinking that maybe that could be added to you EGTFE entries, maybe not. Depends on what you like or not. I just wanted to mess around with the boxes, as they're really cool looking now, thanks to fellow Wookieepedians. Well that's all, and be sure to check thy e-mail. –<font color="#c00">Victor  ( talk page ) 21:06, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Vic, thanks for putting those together. I'm currently mulling it over; there aren't that many positions that utilize the succession boxes, so I'm not quite sure yet. I did get your e-mail, thanks. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 22:49, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Sure thing, and good to know. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.png|15px]] ( talk page ) 22:56, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Yep. BTW, I'm composing a reply now, but would you be available to pop into IRC? There's this "urgent" (read: not) question that JM76 is dying to have me ask you. :-P Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 22:59, 31 January 2009 (UTC)
 * I hath been summons. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.png|15px]] ( talk page ) 23:01, 31 January 2009 (UTC)

Heeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeey
I saw what you put in the User of the Month Thread. You sly dog, I for one am flattered. :P Anywho, keep up the good work and FAntastic writing. Did you get that little connection? --I&#39;m the Chosen One (Talk) 07:30, 1 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and yes. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 07:32, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

IRC
If you are on and if you have the time, could you come on IRC, please? If the answer to one of these is "no," then I give you permission to shoot this message. - Solus (Bird of Prey)  20:24, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm afraid I was not online when you sent this message. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 22:43, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No problem. :) - Solus (Bird of Prey)  23:52, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * However, I am online now, if you still had a question. ;-) Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 00:03, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I do, but I missed you. That's so sad. - Solus  (Bird of Prey)  12:25, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Featured works
Glad to see the second Force Exile story is up there, now at least there's something I can review without tearing my hair out. BTW, I'd like to put one of my own up but I can't as I am not allowed to vote for it in the rules and I need to. <font color="#008080">Katana <font color="#008080">Geldar  02:21, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
 * This is about Force Legend, right? As I have the feeling that the best thing for that story isa complete re-write. Clearly this guy is an inexperienced writer. <font color="#008080">Katana <font color="#008080">Geldar  23:19, 7 February 2009 (UTC)
