Wiki Awards Commitee
Good idea Vacatour. As for what it would cover, we should probably include featured article, UOTW, improvement drive, wiki awards, which we should change to monthly, etc. Anyway, I'm in. MaulYoda

yes but the wiki awards are pretty big. i mean user of the week is kind of my only problem. the winner of article of the year should get featured article but user of the week? how about at least like user of the month. or we could do user of the year? Also one of the nominated article that didnt make it and wasn't the best will be the improvement drive. I really think we should either upgrade Article of the year winner to either User of the month or user of the year since its such a big event. Also we need a lot more nominees. At least four for each category and only one Author per each. It wont matter if its a diffrent article the author of that article can only be nominated once per each category- Darth Vacatour

How about the winner of Article of the Year gets the prize of Best Writer? That could be mentioned on something other than User of the Week on the Main Page. C3PO the Dragon Slayer 17:56, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

the article of the year writers may be nominated but there are no guarantees.we need more nominees for each category though!

If we don't have any nominees in just certain categories by Friday, could we drop the categories, but still hold the event? C3PO the Dragon Slayer 20:10, 26 June 2006 (UTC) P.S. Could you sign your name using ~ ? It's easier to tell who wrote the message. Could I join this Wiki Awards Commitee also?

very well C3P0 the dragon slayer is now a part of the Wiki Awards comitee. but before you do anything you must tell me since i am the Wiki Awards Chairman and host for this year! - Darth Vacatour

Agreed. One thing I ask is about the Article of the Year and Best Article. Could these be made the same? Or does Article of the Year imply something different from being the "best," and focus on something different? C3PO the Dragon Slayer 20:36, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

Where will this be saved, as I won't be able to attend, unfortunetely.

first it will be saved on the First Wiki Awards Page. A link is on my user page and the main page. Also Article of the Year is like the all time article for this year. Best Article wouuld simply be runneer up. Everyone who won a award will receive permission to get one of those medals and a user box saying this user won so so award. Right now I want you and MaulYoda to tell people to get more nominees! Also I am going to work with Angela and Sansee to make the event anual. Also i hope they will let us alow the article of the year winner to become User of the Year and have his article be the Featured Article. Best Article will get User of the Week and Featured Article after The article of the year winner.

Sounds like an idea. I have a Wiki Awards Council page prepared, and I want permission to post it. I was thinking our decisions could be conferenced on the talk page of the Star Wars Fanon Wiki Awards Council page instead of your user talk, just to make things more formal and easier to track. On the main article page people could sign up to be on the council. Do you dissapprove of this article I created? C3PO the Dragon Slayer 18:07, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Wiki Awards Last Stand
Unless you havent realized for the last almost two weeks we have been operating and of course rescheduling the First Annual Wiki Awards! Now I know it is summer but this is the biggest event of the year on this wikia. No one seems to be cooperating. We need at least four nominees per category! Once we have four we need no more! Also at least try to get three nominees on the categories that have none. And of course a article can only be nominated once per category as well as that author. What if the authors nominated twice? Three? Four times? No. The author and that article can only be nominated ONCE per category. The awards will be rescheduled one last time! But I have lost my patience and I will say that after Saturday there will be no awards if they dont happen on Its new date of Saturday June 1st. Same time at 2pm pacifc, 3pm mountain, 4pm central, 5pm eastern time zones on The First Wiki Awards page. Sansee has aproved to make the event anual but if it doesen't happen it wont happen again! - Sincerly to the people of this Wiki, Darth Vacatour, Chairman of the Wiki Awards Council

Darth Vacatour, I would like to say that even if you do not receive enough nominations, that you would still follow through with the awards. I have been trying to help bring nominees for you, but for some I cannot find a suitable nominee. Please do continue to do this, because I think that this will help improve our image to the other wikis. Especially after those disastorous vandal attacks. NKSCF 20:59, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

Very well but the deadline stays for JuLY 1st. I will rescheduling to JuLY 4th IF NECESARY!

Positions and Authorities of the The Wiki Awards Council
Are we, on the council, allowed to appoint other members and put suggested articles into the official nominee section? I am only on for a little stretch of the time you're usually on, so I thought I could make major changes to the Wiki Awards page, to make it ready for the event on time, but I would like your consent. Since I am interested in holding this event, I'll make the changes in advance, and if you don't think members of the Council should have some of the powers I am exercising, contact me and I will change it back.

I am also allowing Aiddat to join the council for now, as he signed up on the roster. If you dissaprove anything, again, contact me when you log on. The Wiki Awards will look more prepared when you log on. C3PO the Dragon Slayer 17:02, 29 June 2006 (UTC)

No. You may provide suggesttions to what to do and nominate but you may not make fulll decisions. I will for now allow Aiddat as we need members but start to tell people to vote in the Voting section below the nominees section.

Wiki awards times

 * Erm, little problem with your times. I live in England so i don't have a bloody clue what time the awards are. Jasca Ducato 20:08, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
 * Well if that the case, do you mind if i make my votes now seeing as i won't be on the internet at that time? Jasca Ducato 20:16, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Problem With Wiki Awards Nominees
Greivous-class Star Dreadnaught is nominated in "Spacecraft" and "Vehicles." Can there be some way to fix that? C3PO the Dragon Slayer 20:23, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Best spacecraft article
Darth Vacatour, could you please tell me what place my LAAT Advanced was in the best spacecraft article? Thanks, -NR- 22:53, 1 July 2006 (UTC)

Upload Help
Can you make a guide of how to upload an image? - Wikimaniac

I dont known how to upload images myself!

Council
Okay, sorry I didn't do much for the Awards. Well... do you like my prize templates? I'll see about this project Typhillia. How'd you get the name? Sounds like a cool name for a Star Destroyer. -Aiddat 01:07, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Quotes on Main Page
DV, did you change the quotes on the Main Page? I've looked into the history of the page, and I cannot find the original ones. NKSCF 01:49, 3 July 2006 (UTC) No i didn't but I think it may be the Fanon council. Please we have to balance the council. This is politics you cant be on both partys.

This isn't Republican and Democrat or Conservative and Liberal here, DV. This is about having fun, and to have fun you have to set rules. I believe that by working on both parties, I can help make a difference on this site. If you want me to, I will resign as a Chair Member, should you feel that that is needed. NKSCF 01:54, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Resign from my party? No. I have a plan. I am promoting you to ambasador on the typhillian council. You can wait until maul gives you a hire rank. But you must understand that we arent republic or democrats our to partys are just trying to help the wiki until administrators are chosen.

Thank you Darth Vacatour. I will do as you have asked, as soon as I get a job on there. I will act as your representative there. Just tell e what you want the to hear and I will voice it. NKSCF 01:59, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Announcement
I will be leaving on a trip tomorrow and will not be able to contribute for awhile. Keep this wiki safe and sound for me, please. If I can get a chance to come back I will, but that is highly unlikely. NKSCF 02:28, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

Possitions
Many of the possitions you have for this council are for the Fanon Council. We should discuss who gets what. MaulYoda

House of Fanon
That's not what I was saying. What I was saying was that the two parties to get into fights a lot so we should have one governement, the house of fanon, with two parts, the fanon and typhillian council, managing two different parts of the governement. MaulYoda

You're a real politician alright, your answer wasn’t direct. I said we will not have admins any time soon. Making these political parties is lame and immature. Please stop! Ewoksfist 22:34, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Oh and the "House of Fanon" would have NO admin power, so what exactly do you hope to accomplish by this childish game? Ewoksfist 22:38, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Admins
PS, keep an eye on this guy. It seems like a new form of vandalism to me.
 * Why eliminate admins!?!?! WE need them, or this war will just get outta hand. Jasca Ducato 19:47, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * They've worked out on every other wiki in existance, why shouldn't they work here? Jasca Ducato 19:51, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * How is it an outrage? Think of it, what if the two councils disagree, what then? As for asking both sansee and angela, i doubt they'll agree. Not if its only your view that this wiki doesn't require admins. What if i sent them a message saying that we definately do need admins. Actually, i think i will. Jasca Ducato 19:57, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree with he idea of having a form of government. But we could use admins to enforce the goverment. Both Angela and Sansee have said they wont make vandals admins, so we don't need to worry about that. Jasca Ducato 20:08, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It wont work. Besides the fact that Angela and co. will proabaly say we do need admins, goverments have been known to be "overthrown". Jasca Ducato 20:16, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * If your Unending evil, then that could be considered Sock puppetry and thus, against wiki rules. As for Finis Valoroum, he did have a Sith Lord manipulating events. And Richard Nixon was at the head of quite a large movement, it wasn't only Nixon who went down for Watergate. 39 others resigned beforehand. Jasca Ducato 20:24, 5 July 2006 (UTC)
 * your the one who brought up Nixon, i simply proved you wrong. Simply put, we need admins, and i'm pretty sure both Sannse and Angela will agree. Jasca Ducato 07:23, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

I was reading Jasca's talk page and I saw this statemebt that you put there: '' A comitee with two strong large councils who will meet regurely to ensure peace and security on this wiki. what if the admins are power hungry vandals,''. I think that not everyone is power-hungry, though it takes only one thing said or done to change one's beliefs... or the person they are entirely. It is not wise to be so rigid in that belief, nor is it wise to... dismiss it as a possibility. I could never be an adminastrator, 'cause I suppose I'm power hungry if I ever wanted to be, and it would only take a certain event to change me. Anyway my point is do not dismiss adminastrators as a possibility. Darth mavoc 10:31, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
