Well, well, well... You have really out done yourself with that life story. The Dark Side of the Force is calling to you my friend. The ACE organization will fear you very much. Originaly, before you became an ACE member, Darth Morosus was supposed to create the brand new Sith Empire, but I, Jedi Master/ Sith Lord: Austin DeJesus give you the promotion as Dark Lord of the Sith and as my new master. I am honored to be under the tutalege of such a fine Sith Master. - Sith Apprentice, Austin DeJesus...

Images and categorization
Please be sure to source all of your images appropriately, according to the rules. I saw that you uploaded an image recently. While we're glad you're contributing images, you did not source it as required by the Image Policy. Please take a look at Special:Upload, where it states what you must provide when uploading an image, upon the upload. Basically, you have to use the template information and fill out the required fields. Remember, if not applicable, you don't have to fill out every field. However, the source and licensing fields are required and have to be filled out. Please go back and add the information template to any images that you uploaded and did not source.

Also, please be sure to categorize all of your articles appropriately, in accordance to our categorization policy. You have recently created one or more articles without a category or a proper one, which means that your article is now a candidate for deletion, unless you fix this up immediately. Therefore please find the appropriate category and place it correctly into your article. Remember to do this in the future, so that you avoid future trouble and conform to our policies. As our policy states, a category must be placed upon creation, not after and exceptions are not given.

If you do not follow these policies, then, unfortunately, the articles and images will be deleted, and if you continue to create articles without categorizing them or uploading images without sourcing them, you will be banned in accordance to the blocking policy. That's the last thing we want to see happen, so I recommend that you fix up any mistakes immediately.

Thank you for your future cooperation. -- Squishy Vic HoloNet 209 17:43, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Well everything looks better, although there are still minor errors. For example, there is no need to put "Introduction" at the beginning of the introduction; we know it's and introduction and articles are to be written from an in-universe point of view. You should also bold the first mention of his name (only, which is in the introduction). The categories are fine, but you could still add a couple more, such as "Humans" and "Males". Other than that, it looks much better than before.


 * Please be sure that you fix this up on all of your other articles as well, as soon as possible. Also, you images must be fixed. Like I said above, you must source them with information in accordance to the Image policy. Thanks. -- Squishy Vic HoloNet 209 18:28, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, introductions go an every page. Just remember basic rules for all articles: Proper categorization, use past tense, and use proper grammar. -- Squishy Vic HoloNet 209 19:07, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Yes of course. All you need for a regular article to avoid deletion is a category and a line of legitimate, in-universe content (with good grammar). And introduction/stub is fine. -- Squishy Vic HoloNet 209 19:39, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, you can leave it like that. You only have to label it as a stub if you want to. If you do, just use the template {[tl|stubby}}. Only corrections necessary on Sith Conclave are bolding "Sith Conclave" and capitalizing "Category:Sith Orders". Also, you do not have to star a new section each time you message me. -- Squishy Vic HoloNet 209 19:55, 20 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah once you categorize them, you can leave them alone. Once you're done with that, onto properly sourcing your images. -- Squishy Vic  HoloNet 209 20:08, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

Well, right now yes, since all of your images are on your userpage. But for future reference, I mean every image you upload must be sourced properly upon upload. You can view all of your uploaded images at the upload log. As for the wormhole, categorize it under Category:Space bodies. -- Squishy Vic HoloNet 209 20:19, 20 January 2008 (UTC)

hi
could you please have a look and review my article Embrious Tentacus? The sunder king 22:31, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi, I came across your name on the recent changes and I thought you would be useful. I've done a bit of editing on the article, but I need to know something to help add dates to my article, what was the year where the old republic was destroyed in star wars episode III? The sunder king 19:00, 25 January 2008 (UTC)

Hey I made a new article, Darth Neronix, please have a look. The sunder king 22:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the congrats Darth tom, I really appreciated it. -- You Speak, I've Spoken 00:13, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Mando Clan
Uhh hello Darth Tom, thank you for your message, if your asking about the Mandalorian clan they were banned months ago, and will never be recreated again, so I am very sorry about that. Tader Talk 18:41, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

RE:NPA and Sockpuppets
Well a PA and a sockpuppet are what you could call "crimes" around here. A PA is an abbreviation for "Personal attacks", and if someone commits one they will definitely receive an appropriate and necessary ban. For example, if User:Bob was to tell User:John "you're acting immature", they'd both just be told to calm down so a larger conflict does not escalate, since telling someone that their behavior is immature is not a personal attack. Although, if User:John were to retaliate and say "You're stupid", then it'd be a personal attack. To read more about that, see Star Wars Fanon:No personal attacks and Star Wars Fanon:Civility.

Now a sockpuppet is something entirely different. A sockpuppet is another account that you or someone registers (aside from their main account) and uses it to contribute around here. If you were to register a second account (for example:) in the case of a ban in order to evade that ban, and if discovered, you would be banned according to our blocking policy for doing so. Even if you just want to change your name, it is not allowed under any circumstance and if you ever do that, it is best that you not tell anyone whom you previously were in order to avoid trouble, unless you would want it, which I doubt. To read more go to Star Wars Fanon:Sockpuppets.

To see our blocking policy, go to Star Wars Fanon:Blocking policy. Does that cover everything? --Squishy Vic discussion archives 14:58, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Ada
I'm glad you enjoyed the article. It's good to know that someone really likes something I write. Any part in particular you liked?

Oh, about my parents. They're just being protective. They never really check up on what I do because I haven't given them reason to. Don't worry about that message on my talk page, it was only placed there as part of an agreement between my parents and I. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles  19:05, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

Okay then, that's fine with me. As for articles that you could read check out Abigaile Jade Kenobi, Nathaniel Kenobi, Nathaniel Kenobi Solo, Ichi Go, and Battle of Almania (Sith Crusade). You can also check out Darth Verraeter, but it's not finished yet. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 01:11, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Glad you enjoyed them. I probably won't be posting anything new for a very long time here, since I'm working on making something else at home. Any questions or complaints, don't hesitate to ask. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 21:38, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Image
Unless an image you get from Wookieepedia is from a film, TV show or comic book, it's fairuse. Now that you know this, please properly source your image using information. Thanks. - President Brandon Rhea   (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  20:26, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Also, please properly categorize Merkory Chal'wala. Please also note that you can't just put the Featured Article icon on an article. There's a process articles need to go through to become Featured. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)  (Accomplishments)  20:38, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

When I put Intro on an article, I'm only asking for at least one line of content. It could be as simple as "Obi-Wan Kenobi was a during the ." Along with that, you still haven't categorized it. - President Brandon Rhea   (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  21:25, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
 * I actually didn't see the part about breathing down your neck, so no worries there! The 200 word minimum thing is for Featured Articles, not just regular articles. Also, again, please categorize the article. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  21:35, 29 January 2008 (UTC)

Images
Hey Tom, please properly attribute and source your images as both Brandon and I have mentioned to you before. It is policy and required that you use the information template, as seen at Special:Upload and the image policy, and you have not been doing this. You only placed a licensing template on your images that you recently uploaded (Image:Taris.jpg and Image:Mandalorian armor.jpg) and you need to place the licensing plus the source (and any other fields that apply) within the information template. Thank you, and please follow these rules as soon as possible. You have been informed many times and we can't just let these things slip by. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 22:42, 30 January 2008 (UTC)


 * To update an old image with the information template and such, first you copy the fields necessary, then you go to the image and click "edit". There, you place all the appropriate information. If you are uploading an image, just do the same thing (copy & Paste) into the summary of the image you are uploading. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 18:57, 31 January 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, you've done them correctly. And you're welcome. Just remember to keep following our rules in the future. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic  <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 20:45, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

User page
Tom, please keep all your user page related stuff on your user page. Don't copy/paste the exact same thing onto your talk page, it's unnecessary since this page is for discussion, not to learn about you. Just thought I'd let you know, that all that stuff about you, your wikis, and your "must reads" belongs on your userpage. Thanks. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 18:12, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


 * First off, please spell out all of your words entirely. This isn't AIM or Y!M where you just abbreviate, I'd like proper grammar and spelling on my user talk page to the best of everyone's ability (so please type out "you" instead of "U"). Anyway, there is a much easier way to sign. First, go to your preferences in the top right corner (my preferences) and where it says "Nickname" put, then check/click the "raw signature" box. Once that's done, go to the page "User:Darth tom/sig" and create it. There, you can edit the colors and stuff of your signature. Make sure you do it in accordance to our signature policy. Once that's done, you save it, and you should be able to sign with four tildes ( ~ ). --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic  <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 18:16, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Just to let you know, it is a rule that there are to be no links in section headers/titles. What this means is that you cannot and should not put your headers like so: ===The Brotherhood of Darkness=== ; instead, you should use the main template, like: under the section header, and remove the link from the actual section header. Thanks. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 20:37, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

Review
Well, as you said, it's unfinished and there are some things I know you'll finish up when you're ready to. So far it seems to be a very good article. Keep it up. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 22:30, 1 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I will do my best to review it ASAP. It's on my waiting list behind Tesh Vohore, which I also plan to read. The reason it's taking me so long is because I can't always find the time to devote to reading both large articles thoroughly. When I find the time, I promise I will review it. Perhaps in the critic's lounge, we'll see. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 17:40, 2 February 2008 (UTC)

Here's what needs to happen: Space out your paragraphs. Big paragraphs are not a very good thing for the reader to have to decipher. Try finding "stopping points" and space there. Also, it needs a personality/traits, a post-mortem/legacy, and a talents section. And remember, get rid of your redlinks. One's enough for it not to be considered an FA. Just fill those in asap and do everything else I've asked and this'll be an FA in no time. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 00:51, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Articles
Tom, you cannot create all canon articles, like Cathar. Please do not do so anymore in the future. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 18:05, 3 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, you cannot use others' fanon without permission and you must always remember to categorize your articles, which you failed to do on a few articles, and I can't keep giving you chances to do so. Also, like I said, no need to create canon articles, just link to them with the Sw template (to link to Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki). --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 18:11, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Terpi
I restored the entire article for you. As soon as you log on see this message, categorize it. Don't do anything else first. If I see that you've logged on, done other things and it still isn't categorized, I will delete it again. I don't mean to sound harsh there, but uncategorized articles that have been restored are given a very short leash in regards to the time they're allowed to be up without a category. Please be sure to categorize all articles in the future immediately upon creation. Thanks for your future cooperation. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  19:39, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

Son of Revan and Bastila
My article on the son of Revan and Bastila is Reznal Shan. For his article I am assuming that Revan followed the light side path instead of the dark side path. The page is a work in progress, so don't expect a huge article. --Darth Darth 19:28, 9 February 2008 (UTC)

Novels
Tom, please note that you do not sign articles, ever. To say "it was written by Darth tom" you simply link to your user page the old fashion way, not by signing it, especially not on every instance it appears. Also, please do not recreate "novel by Darth tom" because it is needless. Just use "Articles by Darth tom" for all of your work. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 19:15, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Signature
You have to create the page User:Darth tom/sig on every wiki. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 22:53, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Tom, please follow our Manual of Style; we use American English (so organizations instead of organisations) for categories and infoboxes, etc. And you must follow the headers format. Thanks. 207.233.58.100 17:49, 14 February 2008 (UTC)

Re:Whatever the name was
I'll have a look later. Also, you are allowed to nominate your own articles for GA. I also saw what you asked NK, so just know that you can't nominate articles for FA. An article first has to become a GA and then it's automatically nominated for FA status. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  21:37, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Merkory
Expand the personality/traits, as well as the abilities section (which technically should be talents). Move the behind the scenes down to the bottom of the page (below Skills and Abilities.) I haven't spell checked it yet, but it should be okay. Oh, some of the pics seem a little big. You might want to put a 250 pixel limit on them.

You can nominate your article for GA, and, if it wins, the DL will decide on whether it should be an FA or not. Jesus Freak NK says NK's 'mazin' articles 21:47, 15 February 2008 (UTC)
 * To add on to what NK said, you need to link to Wookieepedia correctly. You can't hyperlink it all.

 * I'll take a look in a bit. It might be the difference between English English and American English, so I'll look for that too. You can also renominate the article whenever you'd like.
