RE: Arrogance
Eh, like I had said to Brandon, I was just angry, I still think the Awards are a joke, but whatever. Good luck with your articles, you've got some deserving ones.-- Nightmare 975  07:21, 2 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. –Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 06:56, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey Vic, I could use some help
I've had a broken link on a lot of my pages for some time. The Wolf Star Coalition. Though they have played a major part in the storyline for me and Nightmare975's Rpg, I have had trouble comming up with a good reason for them to come into existance. Thus, have put off writing the article time and time again. I was wondering if you could help give me a creative push in the right direction. Anything you could do to get me out of writers block would be much appreciated. Soul Reaper 079 (Dirge) 19:30, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hm, well, there are many things you can do. One being you go back through your articles and read through them, inspiring yourself and coming up with ideas that fit your story, in regards to the Wolf Star Coalition. That's one of the things I did in the past; another thing I do still today is read other organization articles, or whatever you need inspiration for. I usually look at both articles here and on Wookieepedia, usually featured or good articles. Wookieepedia is usually a better source for that, of course. But yeah, just read through both GA/FAs of organizations on Wookieepedia for inspiration type stuff. Another tip would be just to write out (on paper or in a sandboxish thing) all the ideas you have about the Wolf Star Coalition and rack up an article through that. Hope that helps. –Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 23:47, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually that is a good idea. Thanks for the suggestion. Soul Reaper 079 (Dirge) 05:02, 5 February 2009 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. :) –Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 05:04, 5 February 2009 (UTC)

FANs
Just for clarification purposes, the total of ten votes required to attain FA status includes the 5 Seer votes, correct? So like, at least 5 Seer votes and then 5 additional votes? - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 05:10, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes. –Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 05:10, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, I'm going to clarify that. And my bad about the formatting error. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 05:11, 7 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hehe, cool, and no worries. –Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 05:23, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

FANs
Since you're going to be relatively inactive for a bit, do you want me to finish your review for Battle of Tahu? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 05:21, 13 February 2009 (UTC)


 * If you want, yeah, I won't have time to sit down and review anything really. I would prefer though if you could please instead (finish the) review for Project Jedimca0 (GAN) for me, but it doesn't matter. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 06:02, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I'll see if I can finish it. Jedimca0 only needs one more vote, so the review will probably need to be finished for an FAN. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 06:04, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay. I just reviewed it because I think it really lacks quality even for GAN (and has some questionable elements, aka Mary Sue border stuff) and I doubt anyone's really bothered to read and review it (those who've voted for it). Thanks if you can, and also remember it doesn't have to be nominated for FAN, so another review may never even be done. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 06:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree completely, but I recall Tom saying he intends to nominate it for FA status. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 06:07, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Okay. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 06:07, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Cool!

TDL 23: The Threat Within
Just letting you know, I don't know how active you are on the internet right now and don't know when you'll see this, but The Drewton Legacy #23: The Threat Within is up. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 21:46, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the link. Interesting read. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 06:02, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: OCD
You keep telling yourself that. I'll be sure to relay that little nugget to the IRC Cabal of Epic Lulz right now. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 06:04, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

Good article review
Please see this to participate in a relatively minor and painless good article review. Just so you're not freaked out, we do not have to conduct actual reviews. These are only articles that have had their status removed in the featured article review we conducted this past summer. I started it off with votes on all of them that link to the respective DL review page of the article, which contains all of the reasons for why the article was stripped of its featured article status. The vast majority of all of those objections can be applied to good article status as well, hence why I created this review in consultation with numerous other Seers. Please be sure to vote as soon as possible so we can get this over with. Thanks! - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 06:59, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * If you'd like, I can vote in your place for this. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 06:59, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Wow, that was fast, I missed it. Sorry. –<font color="#c00">Victor  ( talk page ) 04:56, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * No problem. The quicker the better, lol. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 04:59, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

Acceptance
Why did you have all those chapters deleted? Are you seriously rewriting again? =P - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 17:13, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * No, no, no. If you read the deletion template summary, what I meant was that I'm releasing the entire eBook at once, as (literally) an eBook; however, it won't really be all 'at once', as it will be updated as I go. For example, soon I will release the touched up version which has up to Chapter 5; when I release Ch. 6, it will be added into the file and uploaded over the old one, and so on. Although I won't be rewriting much (more flowers only), some additional scenes have been added. That's all. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 04:56, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Oh okay. That's good lol. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 04:59, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the rewrites weren't going well. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 05:00, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

You mean the version that was there before they were deleted? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 05:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * No, off-screen rewrites I was attempting. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 05:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah, okay. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 05:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

FAN page redesign
Hey Vic, I put together an idea for a redesigning of the featured article nominations page. You can find it here. To go along with that, please see my idea for how the Council of Seers namespace pages would be set up. My idea can be found here. After looking at the CS namespace example page, be sure to read my detailed explanation of how that page would work. You can find that explanation here. Please get back to me on this ASAP. I’m not going to bother with a CT on this since it doesn’t really require any sort of community vote or discussion, so once a majority of the Seers get back to me I’ll set everything up. Don’t worry, this isn’t extra work for you. I’ll take care of all of it. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 22:17, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Goody, serves much better that way, especially for us reviewers. Anyway, if you're willing to do all that stuff, I have no problem with the format/styles/etc. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 05:51, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Great. That makes five Seers in favor, so I'll start it now. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 05:54, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Awesome. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 05:59, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

It's all done if you want to take a look. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 06:23, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Tahu
Could you finish your review for the Battle of Tahu? That thing is 4 votes away from being an FA, and based on the insanely extensive reviews that PC articles need to receive, it's certainly not of FA status. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 07:59, 7 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll see. Not tonight, though. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 08:58, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, that's fine. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 09:00, 7 March 2009 (UTC)

Apparition stuff
Hey Vic. I laid out some comments about my interpretation of the FA rules in regards to your article here. If you want to respond, which you don't have to if you don't want to, you can reply either here or on my talk page. I'll remove that stuff from that subpage eventually, so don't bother replying there or else it'll all just be deleted. =P - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 05:55, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yay, I'll read it soon and address your complaints. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 06:00, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Update: I corrected with what I agreed with and didn't to with what I did not (duh); it's either because I believe it is essential or at least noteworthy (the telekinesis thing, stating how he got his weapon back) or, in the case of the intro, because I need the word count. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 06:25, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Fair enough. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 12:51, 14 March 2009 (UTC)


 * If you're interested, I laid out a proposed new introduction for the article. You can find it here. It gets the same point across and doesn't really remove any information, but rather removes some strenuous detail like eye and hair color while keeping it well above 200 words. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 17:53, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Meh, the only thing that is really taken away is the hair/eye color. The rest is just worded differently. I'll stick with my intro, but thanks anyway. –<font color="#c00">Victor  ( talk page ) 00:20, 15 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. Also, do you think you could finish your objections for Tahu in the next few days? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 03:30, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Era Icon
I know I've asked you a few times before about this, but I finally have the picture ready. Are you still able to make it into an era icon, or should I find someone else? If you can, do you want me to email the pic to you, or upload it so you'll have it here? Sorry for the inconvenience. --  Tesh  162  18:34, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, I can do it. E-mail the pic to me through squishyvic AT yahoo DOT com. –<font color="#c00">Victor  [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|15px]] ( talk page ) 04:59, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Hey Vic. Just a quick request, if you don't mind. ;-) Let me know if you're going to be able to get to the cough cough nudge nudge in time for the wink wink. Kthxbai. :-P Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 05:24, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
