User talk:C3PO the Dragon Slayer/Archive3

Archived talk: 1 2 '''Holonet Channel 31415926535... you get it.'''

Hiya C3PO. Please block "(deleted username)" and delete "Compedia". The same article was created to Central and many other Wikia wikis and the user was supposedly been blocked from at least a few wikis.

And according to Special:Version, Wikia's MediaWiki has been upgraded from 1.7alpha to 1.7.3 (altough they theoretically could've updated to 1.9.3) and a new extension, GiveRollback, has been enabled. According to that same page "Give Rollback Allows local bureaucrats to give rollback permissions to a non-sysop user, by Rob Church". Good thing and another reason to have bureaucrats, but on a wiki where I'm administrators and bureaucrat (WarWiki), I'm unable to access the page. I've posted about this to Central, and no reply yet. I guess we'll have to wait for the "official word" on this. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:45, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That would be cool. That could certainly help us revert vandalism when none of our admins are on. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 21:47, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Essjay's Countervandalism Wiki has it installed. I just am kinda confused since there's been no official word on this yet...and still they're installed (and GiveRollback is not accessible by a bureaucrat). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 22:01, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * GiveRollback works for bureaucrats, I just needed to log out and then log in. It allows to grant and revoke rollback rights. And Wikia's spam filter blocked my original message because that compedia spammer's username was included. I had to delete it in order to get this message through even thou' I didn't write it (now). --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:37, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Copyright Infringement
Hello,

It has come to my attention that the user KoyiMateil has uploaded the following image that belongs to me, without consent (hxxp added to prevent image auto-loading):

hxxp://images.wikia.com/swfanon/images/2/28/Marajbik.jpg

The original image is located on my website, www.radiantcg.com (hxxp://www.radiantcg.com/HiRes/Misc/MJ-Bikini-2.jpg), and was taken by KoyiMateil from my art thread on TheForce.net (http://boards.theforce.net/fan_art/b10020/22192019/)

As the sole owner of the image, I am requesting that you remove it from your website. If you need anything further to prove that the image is indeed mine, please let me know.

Thank you, Giolon 09:00, 28 February 2007 (UTC) www.radiantcg.com
 * I usually delete all of Koyi's images anyway. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 21:06, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * After a search for the image, on both Wikimedia Commons and Star Wars Fanon, it looks like the image does not exist at the moment. There are two links to it on separate articles, but I don't see anything in the upload log indicating its deletion or upload. Anyway, it looks like you don't have to worry about that copyvio anymore, because the image isn't here. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 21:39, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

You'd be surprised at how much self-control I have. What do you mean by "Only five"? I hope my talk page isn't becoming a general chat page, 'cause that seems like you were talking to someone else.


 * Oh, I just have a tendency to respond to things on the same page the thing I'm responding to is. Just like in this instance. It feels more natural for me, with the conversation on one page rather than alternating back and forth. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 22:42, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Hi C3PO, could you please warn or ban Dak Ryshard? He deleted all the images on RC 2413's page and left redlinks everywhere.
 * No, he just signed his name in the "friends" list. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 02:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

ah, how embarrasing,...thanks anyway

Question
How do you create a portal? ( Darth Taikin  (Talk to me) (My work) 13:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC))
 * I beleive a consensus must be reached first before a portal is made. Leave a note in the Alliance of Fanon area to set one up. [[Image:DarthAb.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 14:23, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

=Mitch the Hutt=

Hello 3PO, I'm Mitch the Hutt. I was looking forward adding my article, STAR WARS: STRANDED ON KAMINO to the films catagory. I don't know how to do it. I tried going the the films catagory and adding SOK to it, but it won't let me. I want you to do it for me. If you are willing to do it, click here.

Hello 3PO, Thank you for telling me how to catagorize my article. =Response=
 * To categorize an article, you place  "  on the article you want to categorize. You don't do anything to the category page to categorize your article. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 22:02, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

From Darth Taikin
I have a question: I am working on some kind of portal, but would it be permissible to have a page for other users working on the portal to meet? Not for random chatting, but for talk on contributing to the portal. This is not exactly like a fan clan, I just thought it would be good to have a "home base" so to speak ( Darth Taikin  (Talk to me) (My work)  13:20, 7 March 2007 (UTC))
 * You can create a forum, either by creating a separate forum that is unobtrusive and still accessible. An alternative could be to create your portal page and use a test or improving or inuse template, and use the talk page for discussion on the project. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication

Dah Picture...
Any sort of specifics? Does it need to be in space or anything like that? A picture of just the top of a Rebel Transport sounds too easy. --   FV     23:21, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
 * In that case, make it extra detailed. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 23:26, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Deletion
There'd be some jobs for you to do...deletion of articles. I'd like to get Division Elite Troopers deleted because it is a part of my storyline that I have to write (when I have time), but some IP address created a two-line page. And then there's some plain useless stuff (Vandross vandalism, useless user subpages etc.)

I might change my vote on the bureaucrat vote, since you seem to be more active here nowdays.

Thanks already.

--Jack Phoenix (Contact) 13:12, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hey, have you forgotten this? No, just that I want the article about Division Elite Troopers deleted, since it's a part of my storyline and I'll create it eventually, but some IP saw a redlink and created that page... --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

PG rule
I agree with your PG rule, I don't mind some of this "R' stuff but there are some younger users on this wiki. Hope u win the burea, I voted for u. Darth tader Mandalore clan 17:46, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Please Restore The Impenetrable Sky Fortress and Vuther Landross. They are not acts of vandalism and took me ages to create, I can change whatever you're not happy with. Thnaks. --Absentia 18:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry, but any page that resembles a Luther Vandross page is deleted because it might make Vandross vandals think that they could get away with making the nonsense pages that just say "LUTHER VANDROSS." I can restore the content in a user subpage of yours, however. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:30, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Eh, rather not. The difference between "Vuther Landross" and "Luther Vandross"? Two letters that you flipped, nothing else. Even the pictures are the same. And there's no need to use the f-word in a civilized community, like this wiki. That only makes you sound more like DV. Please see Wookieepedia for canonical Star Wars stuff. You can get some good ideas from Wookieepedia articles instead of recycling vandal articles.


 * Oh, and C3PO, the number series ("Holochannel number threepoint..." triggers the spam filter. Wonder why is that, possibly should bug GHe or Sannse about that.


 * Anyway, all troll-feeding/vandalism articles should be deleted. This is a place for "Star Wars Fanon", not "Luther Vandross Fanon". --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 19:32, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

I agree with a PG rule as well 3PO. Will this include the revision of Alias Secura and Iznican. If your rule will remove the vulgarity of these and other (mostly maniac) articles, you will have my vote old friend. Ewoksfist 19:37, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Alias Secura, in my point of view, would definitely violate the "PG" rule. Iznican, on one hand, does refer to sexual organs ("Iznicans have no penis"), so it might, but on the other hand, I'm sure plenty of alien species could reproduce another way and it is part of the creature's physiology (disgusting though the whole description may be). The constant mention of them being beautiful is not really that bad (look at Disney movies; there's always some comment about the girl being beautiful), but some things could be changed in that article. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:42, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

That works for me! I'm so sick of those articles that I could puke! Ewoksfist 19:44, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

Question about images
Hello. Somethings have come up and I was wondering if you could answer a few questions I have about SWF's rules. I would be most grateful. The question is: is it nessicary to request permition to use all images, even if they are not made by a user? Thanks.
 * Good question. My inclination is to say that since all images are uploaded under GFDL, they are released to the public domain, and therefore available to everyone, including other users on Star Wars Fanon. But looking back, some people consider images to be private work and "copyrighted", so my best advice for now is, if the image is taken from a movie or book and it as the "fair use" template in the summary, you should be able to use it because the uploader didn't do anything except upload an image that was made elsewhere. I wouldn't mind, in the spirit of GFDL, if someone used one of the images I uploaded for one of their articles because the images, though probably edited by me, are in the public domain. You might want to ask the user who uploaded the image about using it until such a policy as this is made. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 21:19, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I would discourage this. Prohibiting users from using images isn't going to work well, at least for images which are taken from external sources (such as Wookieepedia ). Just imagine someone said you can't use an image of Palpatine using Force Lightning. What would you do? You would probably re-upload it with a different name, thus claiming it as "yours", adding a useless copy to SWFanon and increasing server load. Then another user would probably like to use it, and he would re-upload it, creating an endless loop. &mdash; Canderous Ordo 14:16, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I know exactly how you feel, and I feel the same way. We should not be able to claim rights of edited images that belong to LucasFilm in the first place. But for some reason there has been a bit of tension in the past, and although I intend to eliminate such an understanding of policy from Star Wars Fanon, there is no solid rule to justify for or against using another image, despite whether it's from an external source. So for now, I advise that there should not be prohibition of using another's image, merely caution when doing so. I hope I can get the caution unneeded in the near future. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 20:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Respected users
I don't want to be an admin or a bureaucrat i was just saying that maybe the respected non sysop users should be bureaucrat depending on the outcome of the voting.

Infoboxes
Do you know what's going on with the infoboxes? They have this weird – sign underneath the images.

Did You Know ?
On the did you know section of the main page are we allowed to update it ? or how does it work ?
 * You can update it upon your leisure. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 17:17, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Path To Glory Mandalore
Since the name is Path to Glory, I would suggest making him Mandalore the Glorious. 18:25, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Pic?
I'm not exacltly sure of this but Alpha 04 pic for artical of the week I think has be vandaled. It has something with a hole in with a woman expanding the hole. The orignal pic for the artical of the week was a helmentless clone trooper in blue armor. Please see what is going on. (Darth Gree My Holobook    My Kills      20:55, 16 March 2007 (UTC))

What the freak is with the featured article page?! Any admins please get rid of it!!!!--Grievous797 21:02, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Looks like someone fixed it. It doesn't take an admin to revert this sort of thing. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 21:03, 16 March 2007 (UTC)

Might be a good idea to delete the porn one. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 21:10, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It's been over 24 hours since the picture was uploaded and it's not been deleted. Someone could easily revert it, whether maliciously or accidentally. --  I need a name  ( Complain here ) 20:50, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

Delete (please)
I know I bug but can you please delete some articles for me. (Also, once you delete them can you remove the dead links please?) (deadlinks removed) Thanks!


 * Thank you very very much.
 * Your welcome. Happy Saint Patrick's Day. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 18:06, 17 March 2007 (UTC)

I have found a very graphical new image, uploaded by the user:Pornaddict it is, Image:Pink.jpg, Delete it now plz. Darth tader Mandalore clan 02:17, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

I sure wish I could just delete it.
 * You can revert it. I'm sorry I didn't do it last time I was on, but I really had to go. The world was so demanding that I couldn't even take ten seconds to delete two more images. I should put an image reverting section on Star Wars Fanon:Reverting Vandalism. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 13:18, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Well least it is gone. Thnx Threepio! Darth tader Mandalore clan 14:21, 18 March 2007 (UTC)

Your Sig
I noticed you put a saber smiley guy at the end of you sig. I made this in hopes you might use it.
 * [[Image:Sabersmilyc3po.jpg]]
 * That's interesting. What I use in my signature is Template:Random saber smiley, so if you added it to the dice roll, it would show up occasionally. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 00:01, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

 * Call it lazyness or just plain stupidity but I think i am unsure on how to add it to the "dice roll". I was kinda wondering what you thought of it. And if "you" would ever use it.


 * You have a profound way of asking me to make something for you. I hope this is what you wanted. Please let me know.

 * That is absolutely what I wanted. Perfect. Thanks! --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 15:37, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Veteran Status
Congrats and thank you for your valued help with this site.
 * for your user page


 * Thanks, but I haven't really been around since the beginning. I was here right when the site was starting to get active, but it was founded several months before I joined. To see what the site was like when I first arrived, check SW Fanon talk:Community Portal/Archive1. It's almost scary how much this site has changed since. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 21:43, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey Threepio!
Hey, could you check my message on this talk page, under the header of "Deletion"? Thanks.

And umh, since when was Boodle the UOTW? I couldn't find such an official record about that.

And when will this page qualify for deletion, along with the main image and the non-animated image used on the article page? No Vandross stuff here, only Star Wars Fanon, at least in my opinion. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:44, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * ARGH! I need to appoint you admin if I become bureaucrat so that you can stop interrupting my work! --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 15:47, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * ...And I wasn't even whining yet.
 * No, that'd be great. I'd really like to clean up things and scare vandals away. ;) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 16:21, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think you'd make a good sysop. It would balance the site out nicely. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 16:41, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks. When an admin says so, it can't be (at least much) a lie.
 * And I'm infamous for my deletionism - be prepared, Fanon! (just kidding) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * In my opinion the bureaucrat vote could as well be closed. You have 17 (seventeen) votes, JM76 has 3 (three) votes and StarNeptune has...negative votes. I'm convinced that the people want you as a bureaucrat, no doubt at all. ;) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:46, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't seem fair to Jedi Master 76... it looks like he's been away. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 18:06, 19 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I know, but it's the community consensus, I'm afraid. And besides, when you're a bureaucrat, you can make others bureaucrats, so no big deal, eh? :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 18:17, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem (in terms of my reappearance). My main computer keeps restarting (like it has a bug in it), so its hard to edit SWF. I'm using my spare computer right now, so I can edit a bit.

As for the Bureaucrat vote, see my message on the voting talk page! -- Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library  18:19, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Word of advice for Jedi Master 76: IF YOU HAVE A WINDOWS, TURN OFF THE ALLOWANCE OF AUTOMATIC UPDATES. You can't trust Microsoft to do anything nice to your computer now that Vista is out. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 18:26, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
 * In all honesty, I got the Prof. edition, to my knowledge, I can't use those (blasted) updates without having something happen to my computer. -- [[Image:JM76Sig.gif]] Talk to an Admin Mind Trick Jedi Library [[Image:Sabersmilyjm76.jpg]]

MediaWiki 1.9.1
The header says it all...

Special:Version looks a lot different and all default system messages have been erased and...I've copied the release notes at Central Wikia. Read for all new features at there...at long last, we have an update! Woohoo! =D --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:39, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I noticed. That's why I couldn't get on for the past few hours, though I knew it was coming. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 15:40, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Delete ... again.
I decided to not go with some articles as for I simply do not have time for them right now. Can you please delete:


 * Battle of Brevis
 * Red Company
 * RedCo.jpg

Thank you very much.

Bureaucrat vote
First question: how long is the Bureaucrat election running?

Second question: not a question...you just might want to read this page. Especially the last comment. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 18:59, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

First answer: Until the end of the month, I guess. That's when I'll start showing the Staff what the vote turned out as.

Second answer: I read it prior to your notification. I still want it to be a fair vote and not have the site jump into this prematurely. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 22:18, 21 March 2007 (UTC)

Hey I saw the GM thing, Amazing. I saw it for the first time, can't wait to play it, I'm making one sorta like it except it will be a fanon version to make it fair. Darth tader Mandalore clan 19:29, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That would be cool. When I finish the game and figure out how to post a gm6 on the Internet, I could give you the source to tamper with. --C3PO the Dragon Slayer 6,000,000 forms of communication 19:54, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
 * That would great, but I showed my Bro it and he was like, "You can do that?". It was funny, well I will be on the rest of the day and making my scroller shooter.
