Once again I am awed by the power of your wit and ability to see through idiocy in fanon stories. Keep up the good work. All of those quotes of yours are hilarious, especially the Sherlock Holmes'. I haven't read any of those in years. Brings back some fond memories. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 16:45, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Nice to hear from you. Responses on my work are always appreciated. -MPK, the So-Called Free Man (The Free Man's Talk Page)|undefined 16:59, 17 June 2008 (UTC)

Decreton Lords
Since Vic has now stepped down from all of his positions, we are in need of one (and really more) new Decreton Lord, or at least one. I would like to nominate you for the position once I set up a vote. You interested? - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom) (Record) 23:45, 23 June 2008 (UTC) Psh, loser. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom) (Record) 23:49, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, but I'm afraid not. My presence here is already starting to slip. -MPK, the So-Called Free Man (The Free Man's Talk Page)|undefined 23:47, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
 * No, it's not too late. I planned on putting something up later today, so I'll put you on it. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 14:50, 28 June 2008 (UTC)

Possible Adminship
I know you turned Brandon down to be a DL, but I'm here to ask you to become something more than that: Our second new admin. We may have disagreed on certain things in the past, but I'm convinced that you're the man for the job. (Besides Gnosis, of course.) I understand if you say no and believe me, no hard feelings if you do. Thanks, no matter what you choose. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 14:32, 24 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Assuming the rules permitted it, I'd give you and Gnosis that half vote thing. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] (Pressroom) (Record) 15:14, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

Commandments of Fanon Writing
Nice job with your fanon writing commandments. I just read through all of them and agree with all of them, particularly #7. That one has always pissed me off both in canon and in fanon because it really makes Anakin Skywalker’s sacrifice and basically overall character useless. If there is a Chosen One that is supposed to destroy the Sith, wasn’t his life worthless if they just come back a few decades later? The answer to that is a resounding “yes”, at least in my opinion. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom) (Record) 18:49, 29 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for reading. -MPK, the So-Called Free Man (The Free Man's Talk Page)|undefined 19:19, 29 June 2008 (UTC)

New Quote
! I apologize for my puerile nature. I was trying to lighten the mood around here, you know, with Vic and JM leaving and the elections. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 13:56, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
 * There's no need to apologize. It gave me a chuckle. -MPK, the So-Called Free Man (The Free Man's Talk Page)|undefined 16:53, 3 July 2008 (UTC)

Regarding FA lengths
Hey MPK, since you’re going to be a Decreton Lord by the end of the day, I have a question for you. What are your opinions on how long a Featured Article should be? More specifically, if the article is from a work of fan fiction and the author of the article does not write anything in the article other than what can be sourced from that work of fiction, what do you think the length should be? I have a pretty good idea of what your opinion would be considering the Early life sections of your Jaden Korr, but I would like to know what you think. Thanks in advance. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 03:15, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Decreton Lords
Welcome to the team, MPK! Please be sure to let me know whether or not you also intend to remain a High Priest. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 05:21, 13 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I hope I'll made a positive difference as a DL. And yes, I'll see if I can juggle my two positions (so to speak) for the time being. -MPK, the So-Called Free Man (The Free Man's Talk Page)|undefined 18:50, 13 July 2008 (UTC)

POV clarification

 * Here's my stance on it, and feel free to correct or rebut me as you see fit. Force powers either generally appear in A) video games, where their "alignments" can be treated as a game mechanic and not necessarily canon, or B) books/sourcebooks, which generally aren't written NPOV. For example, Jedi vs. Sith: The Essential Guide to the Force, describes the Potentium as heresy at best. That doesn't mean the Potentium is heresy; that means that either a generic historian, or a particular figure (in this case, Tionne Solusar and the Jedi Order) interprets it as such. To say that Force Choke is a dark side power is necessarily POV to me, given that some perspectives don't believe in the dark side. To say that Force Choke was often considered a dark side power by the Jedi, etc. is neutral. That's my take on it; I'd be interested to see what you think.

 * It's generally not my policy to reply on other talk pages, but I have a bit of a reply on mine. If you just prefer the short form: I don't entirely agree with you, but I can see where you're coming and there's more agreement than disagreement with your points. I'll strike the objection.

 * Hey, since you're a DL, would you mind weighing in on Forum:Shot in the arm? Thanks. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 17:01, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Didn't mean to imply that you weren't doing your job; quite the opposite. Just out to get the review rolling. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 18:23, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

"Accusations"
I assure you, I had nothing to do with the Brandon Rhea article. The first I heard about it was when Michaeldsuarez left a note on my talk page saying the page existed, and then when I saw it on the GA nominations page. I have no idea who wrote it, who was involved in the creation of the idea, etc. I'm in the dark just as much as you are. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 02:10, 3 August 2008 (UTC) I suppose that depends on what your definition of "nice" is. Although I have my suspicions, I'd personally like to know who wrote it and what their intentions were for doing it. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 02:17, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * It's nice to know that we're more or less on the same page, then. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 02:15, 3 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I suppose I owe you a bit of an apology. I'm sorry if I sounded kind of imperious. I guess my Sherlock Holmes-esque brain got ahead of me that time. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 16:29, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

No worries. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 16:31, 3 August 2008 (UTC)

Your Analysis
Well, i'll have to congratulate you on your expert dissection of my Jerun Othorne article. No joke, not being sarcastic. I actually learned from that uh, analysis, and by the way, your way of speech is rather inspiring and makes me want to change all those errors you found in the article. I guess the main point you're trying to get across or expressing is the fact that I didn't clarify the exact details of my Fanonverse and that I wasn't very original gotcha. I'm actually grateful and would like to congratulate you on your wit and your simply, cutting, humor. Appreciate it and, not to sound like im kissing up, but i'll make those changes soon to see if it warrants your liking oh "Lord High Priest". It's actually kind of scary to know that we have such a keen eye to analyze our articles when we submit them to be Good Articles and Featured Articles.  Anti-Formal  Come slang wit' me
 * Oh yeah and, in friendly defense of my article, I nevers said anything about him becoming a great pilot but I just may have included something in there about him becoming a great warrior.  Anti-Formal  Come slang wit' me Work I've Put In 04:10, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

I'm sometimes surprised when I receive praise for criticism, especially when the praise comes from the author of whatever I criticized, and this is no exception. Thanks for dropping in. I appreciate feedback. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 21:11, 4 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay then I'd be appreciative if you showed your appreciation and take out your criticism of Jerun Othorne, as it's giving me a bad reputation. No i'm kidding but seriously that was a great analysis or criticism or whatnot.  Anti-Formal  Come slang wit' me Work I've Put In 02:18, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

Template

 * Hey, in the spirit of figuring that it was easier to ask forgiveness than permission, I borrowed a quote of yours for FAremove, a new measure implemented by Forum:Shot in the arm. If you want it removed, just let me know, or change it yourself&mdash;I don't care. On the subject of the FA review, if we can get some quick DL feedback on a couple of the FAs which are particularly bad, we can really start clearing out that page in a few weeks. Thanks. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 16:04, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh, I just noticed that template. It's A-ok with me. On the topic of the FA reviews, I am aware of the fact that I've been A.W.O.L for the last few days. Some shit's been hitting the fan lately and I sometimes have trouble motivating myself. Regardless, I intend to hit the FA review with everything I've got in days ahead. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 16:14, 11 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, and don't worry about it. It happens to all of us. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 16:16, 11 August 2008 (UTC)

FA Nominations
Hey, I don't want to seem like I'm rushing you, and it probably seems that way since it's my own nomination, but there is a 3/4 nomination for Sarus on SWF:FAN that could use it's final vote or an opposition vote if need be. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 17:09, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm on it. Sorry if it looks like I've been asleep at the wheel there - I've been concentrating on the Third DL FA Review. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 17:24, 21 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's no problem. Just wanted to point it out to you since the FA que is arguably shorter than it should be. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 17:27, 21 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Hey, great work on the 3rd FAR. I've enjoyed seeing your comments on the page. As a quick favor, whenever you tag an article, would you mind updating my scratchpad section. What I've been doing is placing the name of the FA, along with 2 weeks from the original tagged date. That way, I/we have a complete list of when things are supposed to be de-featured if not corrected. Thanks. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 21:37, 22 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Will do. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 21:47, 22 August 2008 (UTC)

Good article?
I am making an article and I want to reach the good standards,can you help me with that?More specifically this article:
 * Has the proper era icons
 * Has a detailed enough story
 * Has a good number of pictures
 * Has more than 150 words.

But:
 * It has not the best grammar.(I am not so good in the English grammar)

Can you review the article and see if is good?If you spot grammar mistakes,do not correct them,just tell me where are they.spartan-53 Darth Odysseas 09:04, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure thing. I'll take a look at this article of yours this afternoon. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 13:25, 27 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your help.I will correct any grammar mistakes and add more information about the planet condition.I also believe that Dune must be a good article because it is my "base" for many other articles(I am already making this).It cannot be just a medium quality article,right?spartan-53 Darth Odysseas 07:40, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry,do you know why I cannot add the category Articles made by Spartan-53?Do I have to make it first?After adding the category the other categoty(planet) was disappeared!What happened?How someone can add this categoty(articles made by XXXX)spartan-53 Darth Odysseas 08:00, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for your help,I started categorising my articles.I also fixed most of the good quality requirements of Dune.Will there be elections for it?Did you notice that there is no other "good"planet?spartan-53 Darth Odysseas 17:21, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

You have to submit it to the GA elections page before people can vote for or against it. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 18:30, 28 August 2008 (UTC)

Ok,Dune is ready,high priest,can you review it for the last time and correct any mistake?Give me a link to where I have yo submit it.

Could you please post your answer to my talk page,too?Thanks.spartan-53 Darth Odysseas 11:03, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I placed it,please go and vote for it.spartan-53 Darth Odysseas 13:48, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

Advice
Yo MPK, I was stalk...I mean monitoring...the recent changes, and noticed the message you placed on Rhea's page. Honestly, I'd say that there is not much you can do. Well, besides asking him to not ask you so many questions. You know.--  CurrentBigThing  ( Speak ) 17:18, 29 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the input. -MPK (MPK's Talk Page)|undefined 17:20, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

I wish I could give you a better answer, but what CBT said is right, if not inconvenient. If a new user finds you good enough to answer his or her questions, then you either need to put up with it and answer them or direct them to someone else. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 21:33, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

GA nom
Hey MPK, could you also take a look at my other GA nom, Exodus from Had Abaddon? I'm asking only because I want those two to have the same amount of votes, as I want the Exodus on the Upcoming list first considering it's first in chronological order.

FA review
On the note of FA review, I'm the go-to guy on The Fanon Menace for the next couple of weeks, as Tesh is at school and I'm not busy. So if you could let me know what the problems with the article are, I'll do my best to fix them. --Ryluk Shouja(The Mukhabarat 19:04, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
