Tarakus Deadmerit
There is already an article by the name of Tarakus Deadmerit, created by you. I suggest reading up on our Manual of Style and Layout Guide, then putting your fanon into that page. Thank you for your cooperation. 01:09, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hey, welcome! I just wanted to let you know that I tweaked Tarakus Deadmerit a bit so it's more in line with our article guidelines. Basically what I did was add in the correct infobox (based on the character's last known affiliation&mdash;New Republic, as stated in the article), I removed the image (I wasn't sure what it was for, it seemed random), and I rewrote the development and credits section into a Behind the scenes section so it was both encyclopedic and of a neutral point of view. I also removed Category:Fan-fiction series, since that's only to be used on articles specifically about a fan fiction series (such as Alternative Star Wars Saga, for example). You can see the full difference between my edit and your last edit here. Feel free to let me know if you need anything! :) - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 03:42, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Galactic Alliance character infobox template
Just letting you know that I had built the Galactic Alliance character infobox template for you. You can change the colors, I just picked a shade at random. But, the template is now built and categorized and ready for you to use.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:34, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

Image sourcing
Please source and license the following images in accordance to the image policy as soon as possible, using the Information template, else they may be removed:


 * File:Giga Sith Dragon.jpg
 * File:Shot0012.jpg
 * File:Deathdragon.jpg
 * File:WSIR symbol.jpg
 * File:Shot0004.jpg
 * File:Shot0030.jpg
 * File:Real Deadmerit.JPG

Using the last file as an example, I am going to demonstrate the usage of the aforementioned Information template. I may have gotten the source wrong, as for the example, I am assuming that it was user-generated. If otherwise, feel free to correct it. This is only for demonstration purposes.

==Summary==

If you need any help, feel free to ask me or any other user. Though, please source and license your images as soon as possible, prior to uploading any more images. Thanks.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:01, April 19, 2011 (UTC)

Article titles
Hey, Deadmerit. I noticed that you have created several articles with the word "The" in the title, such as The Six Year War. Per our Manual of Style and Naming conventions policy, please omit the "The" from the titles. For instance "The Six Year War" would just be "Six Year War." I've already done that article for you, but I would appreciate it if you would correct your others and refrain from making this small mistake in the future. Thank you, and happy editing. -- D.W.

 * Also, as per the aforementioned Manual of Style, articles are to be written in the past tense, as this is still a long time ago. That includes intros and miscellaneous article sections.  I had fixed a number of articles for you, but please remember to keep the prose in past tense with future articles.  Thanks.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 03:18, April 20, 2011 (UTC)

Contact
I already said I would. Just saying again. JA-394 (Talk) 02:47, April 24, 2011 (UTC)

Project
How do you create a star wars fanon project? If it is impossible for me then could you create it for me? I want it to be about clone troopers. I want people to write about clone troopers created after Return of the Jedi. --65.13.155.21 17:49, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

O.K.
Thanks for the advice. I would appreciate it if you would help me contact the administrators. I've already contacted Brandon Rhea but no reply. --65.13.155.21 18:00, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Apprecation
Thanks! I really appreciate it. --65.13.155.21 18:05, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Yes I mean Fanon Project and Thanks. --65.13.155.21 18:13, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Pages
Can you please read my two pages so far and rate them one to ten. Weapon Squad and Order 99. --65.13.155.21 18:19, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Alright
Alright nice. --65.13.155.21 18:30, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks again
Cool and thank you. You don't have to respond if you don't want to. --65.13.155.21 18:33, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Copyright template
Hey Deadmerit. I wanted to let you know that I've removed the Copyright template from a number of your articles. As the copyright page says, this is to be used only on fan fiction stories, i.e. narrative content such as novels, short stories, etc. Fanon articles do not apply and, as such, cannot use the Copyright template. Please be sure not to add the template to any articles again. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea  (talk) 06:41, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Re: Infoboxes

 * Tristchanian Empire character infobox
 * WSIR character infobox
 * DMCo character infobox

If the colors need to be adjusted for clarity, let me know. All I did, really, was copy the source code and change the colors.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 08:00, June 29, 2011 (UTC)

Your templates
Hello Deadmerit. This may come as a shock or as unpleasant news, but the templates which you have made to put atop the articles you have created actually go against the rules on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki. It has long been established in precedent if not in policy that these "ownership templates" are unwelcome, and attempt to unfairly set some above others (which is actually against the Equality policy. Therefore we, that is to say the administration, kindly ask that you remove these templates from your page and mark them for deletion. Please address this issue in a timely fashion, as we would all like to settle this with a minimum of fuss. Thank you, and if you have any questions, feel free to send a message to my talk page or that of any other administrator. Thanks. 20:06, July 17, 2011 (UTC)
 * Thank you for addressing that particular issue. As for your other two templates, while they are IMHO slightly pretentious, they don't technically violate policy save for the fact that you cannot assert that others are forbidden to edit your articles. Anyone can edit anyone else's articles, but only according to the editing policy mentioned earlier (which basically means grammar and spelling corrections, or template cleanup, etc.). Since those two templates are linked only to one page each, then as long as you don't start throwing them everywhere then there's no reason to get rid of them that I can see. Also, to mark an article or template for deletion, if it is yours, put Author request at its top. 16:52, July 18, 2011 (UTC)
