User talk:Drewton



Welcome to my talk page! In order to keep everything organized, messages will be responded to on this talk page.

Have a look at this
Here's a little example of the sort of thing I was thinking of writing for CUSFWN. It doesn't necesserily have to be that essay, but what do you think? Unit 8311 14:34, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks good, and a good subject to right on...but if you see the new movie, you'll find you like the cartoon much more than you did before. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 12:19, 28 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks. So, just to get straight to the point, do you think I'm an eligible CUSFWN writer? And if the movie is really that bad, then I'm not likely to waste money on it and get my opinion changed. Unit 8311 10:33, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, I think so. I'm not really a great writer for this kind of thing, and I think Tom prefers to write on more of the community stuff. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:07, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks. In that case, will you be putting that review of mine in this or a future issue, or would you like me to write something different? Unit 8311 11:32, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

RE: Rewrite
Don't like it, sorry. --Victortalk 04:20, 28 August 2008 (UTC)


 * This generally applies to all skills, regardless of whether or not the skills are based in the Force. - That's saying it applies to everyone. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 20:50, 30 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh my, I'm so stupid. I don't know how I could have missed that. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 20:52, 30 August 2008 (UTC)

Vector
Per Brandon, on your first question. As for your Vector question, I hated Star Wars: Vector. Mostly because of the fact that Morne was able to be preserved and whatnot for thousands of years. To me, that's just extremely ridiculous and LucasArts or whoever made the decision to create that garbage just wanted to have some lame EU-character interact with all major canon characters. It's like LucasArts's Mary Sue, in a way. But onto your question, I'd really have to hear more about this idea. A lot more. Whenever you have time to go on AIM or IRC, just let me know and I'll try to be there too. Or, you could email me instead. Whatever floats your boat. --Victortalk 04:47, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I too hated Vector, and this isn't going to involve any kind of time-travel or rakghouls. It would start at 27 BBY and end a few years after EPIII...much different than the 4,100 year span that the actual Vector had. I'd be fine talking on IRC tomorrow. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 12:27, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Can you come onto the IRC so we can discuss story and character content? --Victortalk 17:58, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I can come on for a short time. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:01, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

CUSWFN

 * Okays, I'm back. May I enquire as to the status of CUSWFN? --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] (talk) (contributions) 09:48, 31 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I would have finished the new edition a week ago, but I had to rush to finish a KOTOR movie before summer. I think there's only one more section to do. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 12:27, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, that's what I was thinking of doing. --Victortalk 18:45, 31 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Okays, we now need to decide when CUSWFN will be released; on which day will be release day? And who'll distribute it? --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] (talk) (contributions) 15:08, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm finished with it, so we can release it now. Let's just say there was a delay and this is really an August edition :P Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:24, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I've sent it to a few recipients. Can you please do the rest? Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:40, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

CUSWFN

 * Of course. Which users? --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] (talk) (contributions) 19:29, 1 September 2008 (UTC)
 * All of the ones I haven't done :P . Actually, though, I'm just finishing distributing it. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 19:33, 1 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Oh, I see, thanks then. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] (talk) (contributions) 19:48, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Heh, I appear to have been incredibly ignorant lately. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 01:41, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

Will do that! Thanks for reminding me! -- TC 1  4  13:01, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

I had forgotten actually. Thanks for the reminder. I'll take another look.
 * Thanks. :) Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 17:29, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

CUSWFN
I was wondering, you must have some important stuff to do. I was wondering (to get some stress off your back), if I could interview the Meet a User person for Tom and you. I could interview them on the IRC or their user page and paste the answers on word or something like that, and then give them to you. If you dont want me to do that, np. If you need help with any other thing, I will help. (Reviews are not my thing and so are cross words). --Arav the Undersith (<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 06:20, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, that would be great. I don't think we have chosen who the Meet a User will be though... Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 12:14, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Tom said no, but he would message me for any help. Seeing as you are the new head (with Tom), and most new users dont not really know much about you, you should be be Meet a User. --<font color=#00416A>Arav the Undersith <font color=Blue>(<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 02:36, 6 September 2008 (UTC)

Two things
Hi Drew, it's me again. I have two things: one, could you upload an image for me? Two, if I'm approved as a CUSFWN editorial writer, will be you be putting that review I posted onto an edition, or would you like me to adjust it or write something else? Unit 8311 15:12, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure, what do you want me to upload? You're an approved writer for CUSWFN as far as I know, unless if Tom says otherwise :) . The review doesn't need adjusting as far as I can see. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:30, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I saw your request in Project Cruentus. Both of them are now uploaded. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:34, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You must be psychic, or a really effecient recent changes patroller. Anyway, I was actually thinking of you making a toy image, like the kind you make for your photonovels. As for the review, thanks. Will you be putting it in the next issue? Again, thanks. Unit 8311 15:36, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What toy image do you want me to make? One of a battle? I was planning to put the CW review in the next edition, as a follow-up to my movie review. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:50, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I need a picture of some stormtroopers/clones in thick vegetation. Take a picture of some stormie toys in your back garden or against a jungle backdrop, if that helps. For the review: thanks. If it's not too much to ask, maybe you could add me to the CUSWFN staff? In any case, I'll probably add a sentence or two to the review when you start constructing the next edition, and definitely some images to go along with it. Unit 8311 15:42, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * What kind of vegeation is it? Like Felucia? Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 16:09, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Similar, I guess, but it's not too important as long as there's no overly betraying elements like giant flowerpots or slug repellents in the background. Unit 8311 16:06, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Right. I should have it done this afternoon. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:48, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Image
I don't like it at all. The background and robes don't fit the image. The image doesn't need modifying anyway; I took the image in-costume so there is absolutely no need to even alter it. 207.233.58.100 15:47, 4 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Very well. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:53, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

Successful GA nominations
In the future, when removing successful Good Article nominations from the nominations page, please be sure to add in every support vote to the High Priest review page for that article so we can have a full record of the article's nomination. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 20:01, 4 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Thank ye. And yes, I can be the MaU, as long as that doesn't entail hundreds of spam messages. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 23:35, 6 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, I think so too. :) By the way, is Arav doing the MaU? --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contributions) 07:01, 7 September 2008 (UTC)

Chandrila
Sorry, but according to Special:Whatlinkshere/Chandrila, Chandrila (planet) is indeed included in the fanon works of some users. Also, if you read the Behind the sences section of the article, you'll realize that Momergil left the article for other users to add fanon to it. Also, it is still marked as a Stub, so it is waiting to be expanded by others. Also, anyone can give any name to their articles. Remember, you don't own the articles that you make. Although Chandrilla (Jedi) is spelled different, some users may misspel the planet and accident find your article. As a result, a disambiguation page is needed. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 13:12, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright. Fair enough. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 13:21, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for understanding. In the future, can you please leave responses on my talk page, so I can receive the You have new messages message? This created a mess on Forum:MASSIVE Administrator Election. Sorry. -- Michaeldsuarez [[Image:Sabersmilygreend.jpg|20px]] ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 14:48, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Images
That's not really the reason. I don't want anyone to tag them for deletion, nor do I want images to go unused anyway. If they go unused, they're just wasting space. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 14:44, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletions
Congradulations on the election and have fun at Category:Articles for immediate deletion. Sorry for the argument. You're doing a great job so far. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 15:03, 9 September 2008 (UTC) That's awful.

 * Thanks. I've been doing this for about three hours now. The only problem I have with this wiki is there's not enough vandalism to revert... Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:06, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Try Wookieepedia or Central Wikia. They usually have vandals. -- Michaeldsuarez [[Image:Sabersmilygreend.jpg|20px]] ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 15:13, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, I only banned one user on the Wikia network of wikis. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 15:26, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

IRC
If you log onto IRC, I believe I'll be able to more adequately state my side of our debate, and you'll be able to do the same. I'm online now. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 16:37, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Logging on now. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 16:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I think that, before we start planning the next CUSWFN, we do a review of the Sponsored works of CUSWFN, which can be seen on the CUSWFN page. I, personally, am fine with all the current sponsored works continuing being sponsored, and I propose we extend sponsorship offers to The Shadows of the Jedi Trilogy and Star Wars: Knighthood. Are you find with all the current sponsorees, and do you agree with, or have any addition to, the proposed new sponsorees? --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contributions) 20:28, 10 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Brandon's just said he'd reject a sponsorship offer on SOTJ, and so Knighthood's now my only proposed offer to add. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contributions) 20:36, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Knighthood sounds excellent to sponsor. I'll look through some other fan fiction tonight and see if I can find anything else. All the current sponsored works look fine. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 20:59, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletions
Drewton, whilst your deletions have been a benefit to this wiki, please do not delete images that are in use; so far, you've deleted this and this image, saying it was unused or unwanted, when it was most definitely in use here. Please check these things over before deleting them in future. Thanks. -- <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contributions) 20:16, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry. The unused files page only updates once a day, so I assume you added those after it was updated. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron )

Fury CoverArt Credits
Hi Drewton, I've seen that you've added the fury full coverart on the Fury book Page. Could you credit my website LegacyNJO.com as the source for the file as it's an exclusive that was hard to obtain ? It would be really nice. Thank you in advance.

PS: By the way i'm posting Invincible's Cover Art sometime very soon.

Saith vaapar (Talk) 10:42, 12 September 2008 (UTC) Saith Vaapar
 * Sure. If I upload the Invincible cover on Wookieepedia whenever you upload it, I'll credit it to your site as well. Also, your site design is excellent :). Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 12:13, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Resotration
I've resotred EMPRESS SUSY. As dumb as it is, "junk" is not an acceptable reason for an immediate deletion. If you want to get rid of what you perceive to be a junk article, put it up for discussion on the Star Wars Fanon:Deletion page. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 15:16, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Very well. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:17, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Also, I saw that I just accidentally overrode your welcome on that SPARTAN guys talk page, since we posted around the same time. You can revert it if you want to, but obviously it's not that big of a deal. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 15:20, 12 September 2008 (UTC)
 * That's fine. You added more anyway. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:21, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Re:Manaco
That looks good. Much better than the bleh white and gray we have now, though naturally it should be up for a vote. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 15:46, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

BMP
That would be great. Tell me what to do. As you can tell, I'm not a real technical guy.Mattkenn3 (Talk) 03:07, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You could upload them on Imageshack, which is free and requires no registration. You could also use Photobucket, also free, but it requires you to make an account. If you're not planning to upload a lot of pics for anything else other than Fanon I'd chose Imageshack. I have to go to a movie in a few minutes, so I can convert them for you tomorrow morning, and I can also add them to your articles when I do if you want. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 03:10, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

I will do that, thank you very much.Mattkenn3 (Talk) 03:12, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

One picture is | a picture of Darth Desolation. Darth Desolation, is the article on here. There is a link to the gallery on the bottom of the page. I'll give you the others tommorrow morning, when you are here. Thank you for your help, I realy appreciate it. Mattkenn3 (Talk) 03:18, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. Here's the first one. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 14:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Thanks, I accidentally posted my response on the talk page of his old account since his signature still links there. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 16:57, 13 September 2008 (UTC)

Sockpuppet
I saw you banned Spartan-53, and then not his 'new account', Odysseas-spartan-53; you may want to be aware that, per our sockpuppet policy, you still have to ban his 'new account' for three days, as it is a sockpuppet, bots being the only exception to this rule. -- <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contributions) 18:36, 13 September 2008 (UTC) I don't really want to get involved in this anymore than I have to, but the Blocking Policy does say that you ban both accounts. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 02:22, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * The sockpuppet policy says nothing of the sort. Per the policy, sockpuppetry is the creation of an alternative account to make it look like another user. Sockpuppets can be created by vandals to evade blocks or legitimate users to create an extra facet of interest in the community. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:20, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Only when the user is trying to make an alternative account to make it look like another user or evade a ban. Not switching na account. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:24, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Drewton is right about the policy, but I think that it should not matter if the account is made to look like another user or the same. It's the same person, they were banned, and now they are back.  That shouldn't be allowed.Mattkenn3 (Talk) 02:28, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Only their old account was banned because it was needless. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:29, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I see now. Now I think that is wrong.  You are right.  He wasn't a sockpuppet, ony had an alternate account and was banned for having it.  I see now.Mattkenn3 (Talk) 02:39, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

A Picture
Do you mind if I use as a picture of Darth Desolation?Mattkenn3 (Talk) 01:52, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd prefer if you used my original unaltered image. I'll find it for you in a few seconds... Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:31, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you.Mattkenn3 (Talk) 02:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Talk page reverts
Just so you know, over the last few months I've stopped reverting edits users have made to blank their talk page. This is because there is no established policy stating that users cannot do this. As someone who has gone so far as to unblock a user based on a literal interpretation of a policy, despite the fact that there was a consensus discussion going on about whether or not that user should be unblocked, I would hope that you would understand this as well. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 02:33, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright, but I'm not the one who's interpreting the sockpuppet policy. The policy explicitly says that sockpuppetry is the creation of an alternative account to make it look like another user or made by a vandal, which does not apply to the user in question. And my apologies for rashly unblocking him; I was unaware that there was a discussion going on at the time. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:37, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

The Sockpuppet policy is flawed, yes, so I'm not going to debate you over that. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 02:38, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Therefore, as the policy is right now, there's no reason at all to block him, no matter what the policy should be. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:40, 14 September 2008 (UTC)
