Hey Drewton. There actually was fanon content in that article, so I recreated it. The infobox contained a link to the user's species article, and when you deleted it I was in the process of adding an additional section just so there would be more visible fanon in it. I told the user that stuff like this won't be recreated in the future. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 00:39, 3 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright. I looked over the article and compared it with the Wook one for a few minutes, but didn't see that. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:46, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

It was easy to miss, hence why I added in that Inhabitants section just to be safe. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 00:54, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

SORRY
Hey Drewton, hope all is well with you. Just wanna say sorry for my incompetence  Brandon so kindly pointed out to me where my issue was… I didn’t even notice the special: Upload section!!! How silly am I! Anyway now that I know, its shouldn’t happen again.Follower of the Yahweh way (Talk) 04:15, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Making an Image fit just right
Hey again Drewton, hope all is well with you. I need some more help… yet again. When an image is uploaded, how do you edit or adjust the image so that inside the info box (or any other display) the picture appears clean and fitting completely into the frame? Up to this point when I’ve been uploading images they all appear to be like the thumbnail type with the white boarder around them. Someone, I can’t remember who edited my article Kentell Leknar and made the picture inside the info box fit and look sweet. How did they do that? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers. Corron Zenith (Talk) 01:36, 4 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Remove the |thumb| part of it and change the pixel size to 250. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:03, 4 February 2009 (UTC)

Eras
I see that you're uncovering Wookieepedia's secrets. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 21:14, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Or trying to, lol. From what I can see, there's no difference in the era parts of the MediaWiki templates, and if I copy the exact era templates from Wookieepedia, it won't work at all. Right now, the eras are only working the way they should be in previews. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 21:24, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Era icons now appear to be working fine! Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:44, 7 February 2009 (UTC)

Unused image
Image:Adirofs moon.JPG is currently unused. Did you still want it or should it just be deleted? - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 18:00, 8 February 2009 (UTC)
 * I probably won't be using it, so I've deleted it. Thanks for asking me first. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:43, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Recent issues
Hello Andrew. I have run into serious familial problems, so I will not be regularly active on the internet anymore, for an undetermined amount of time. So, as such, I give you full permission to take care of all my Seer duties for me, meaning voting. Just use the Signed template to do so, whenever my vote is needed. I trust your judgment in this, hence why I am asking you. Plus you know how picky I can be. Anyway, just letting you know, so please take care of this for me at your discretion. Cheers. –Victor  ( talk page ) 03:02, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, and I hope whatever problems you have will be fine soon. I'll make sure to wait until there have been thorough reviews of the articles (including by myself) before I use your vote. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 03:41, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

sourcing question
Hi Drewton,

I had been given a ban for image sourcing violation. I've removed the images. I would like to re-add them but I want to make sure I do it correctly. The picture is of me, taken by a relative. If I fill out the template and name the person who took the picture, is that all that is required?

Thank you for your help,

BaddaBaddaStudios
 * Yeah, you just have to do something like "Self-made image" for the source, and P-D, Cc-by-sa, or Usercopyright for the licensing Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 20:16, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Starwars Battlefront 3
Hi, its me again, I found Starwars Battlefront 3 or what it would have been anyway... Thought you would like to know, you probably do already though. Here is the links Darth Void (Talk) 01:54, 18 February 2009 (UTC) Yeah, I think that perhaps the darkside obi-wan is what would have happened if obi-wan had faced the Emperor and yoda had faced darth vader, or if obi-wan had killed darth vader on mustafar. I can't help but wonder if the game had a dark yoda, he probably would have looked like a gremlin. lol Darth Void (Talk) 14:16, 23 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. That dark side Obi-Wan looks interesting...have you seen this? Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:10, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

CUSWFN FU
Although I haven't really been vocal about it, I've been relatively disappointed with CUSWFN for quite awhile now, particularly the lackluster and biased Fanon Updates section. Therefore, I've written this for the next edition, only including information about the four sponsors that's been released. It's an objective piece with journalistic standards, which I'd like to see more of in CUSWFN. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 21:50, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, it has been unfortunately. Thanks for writing that; looks good. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 03:13, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

I'll add it into the template, then. - Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 03:15, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Bah, I was just doing that and you ruined it. Again.  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 03:18, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Hehe. Anything else you'd like me to write? I don't mind doing more. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 03:42, 20 February 2009 (UTC)
 * No, it's fine. I've actually been writing some stuff off-site because people have usually seen what Unit and I have done a month(s) before the edition's been released. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 13:22, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

CUSFWN
Do you have any ideas for the SWM section, Drewton? I was thinking of using MPK's review of NSKF for the fanon updates, with his permission. Also, what do you have in mind for this new mod updates thing? Unit 8311 Talk!  16:37, 21 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I would suggest not using those article reviews, guys. They may be really good and really funny, but it's not a fanon update. It's a review of an article that was written three years ago (for the most part). Besides, these reviews are a bit too strong, and in the interest of being objective you would either have to a) find someone to write a positive review (if such an opinion exists, I'd like to see it, lol) or b) scrap the one-sided review and write a fair and balanced one. And either way, there's already a lengthy write up in the fanon updates about the sponsors, as Drewton knows. IMO, as I alluded to in the beginning of that write up, you guys should stick to reviewing sponsors only. When you review non-sponsored work, it screams of favoritism and/or bias. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 17:49, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

For SWM, I'm planning a review for Vector and KOTOR #36-38, and would you like to review recent Clone Wars episodes? For Fanon Updates, per Brandon. We should also be sponsoring Acceptance; IIRC, we previously sponsored Knighthood, and then just merged that sponsoring with the ASWS. I've been writing mod updates off-site, for KOTOR and Jedi Academy (this may be a one-issue or rare feature). Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 17:56, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Rhea: okay. Drew: I'm not really keen on doing another CW review, for variety's sake. I was toying with the idea of doing a review of the Star Wars Holiday Special, but if you've seen it you'll know why that might not be an excellent idea. I did hear of a fan-edited redo of the Phantom Menace that I'm considering doing more research on, but I'll wait till I return home and back to my usual editing routine before I can come up with anything concrete. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  18:14, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, but the Holiday Special is so bad and everyone knows it's so bad that it's not even really worth reviewing :P . The Phantom Edit sounds interesting though. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:17, 21 February 2009 (UTC)

Testing
Actually, that was me testing; I needed a message by an anon account for tests. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 22:19, 21 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, sorry about that, lol. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 23:01, 21 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) 06:58, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Deletions
that was not role play it was a story could you please resore it? -- PATX (Talk) 16:24, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * It's been restored, but your challenge articles have been nominated for deletion. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 16:31, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Ordering
The ordering on the Upcoming GA list is correct. The History page is incorrect. It has to do with a deleted article. I'll fix it later. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 17:18, 27 February 2009 (UTC)

Vote for removal
I also want to see it nominated again in the future. However, we do need to get it off now. In the interest of speeding up that process, would you mind voting in the name of Vic? I can provide the 5th necessary vote from my helpful gopher. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 01:21, 28 February 2009 (UTC)

Hehe, my bad on that block. I meant to set it at one week. Also, would you mind considering voting on the FAN of Doluc II? Unit reviewed it an JM corrected his objections. Ataru also gave it a very extensive review, both on the FAN page and off-site I believe, so that pretty much covers conventional FA standards there. I also gave it a review after Ataru and Unit and found nothing. Considering we need an FA for this coming week, Doluc II is our current and best option. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 01:32, 28 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Bah, I was set to post my review, but its nomination's already successful. Most things, however, were personal preference, like era icons being in a planet article, image sizes, and introduction length. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 23:08, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

What do you mean in regards to the era icons? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 23:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Not having the in-universe era icons on planet articles has been a tradition on Wookieepedia for a while and recently became an official policy. 's the discussion on it. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 23:15, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Well I personally disagree with that. Planets are not necessarily timeless. They do exist in the Pre-Republic era, of course, but what if they were destroyed in the Old Republic era? That alone defeats the idea that they're timeless. Besides, eras are OOU creations, not IU ones. That's why' for example, we don't allow people to say "So and So was a Jedi during the Old Republic era". It's about publishing eras, so it's saying what eras planets have been active in from an OOU standpoint. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 23:30, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

FAN page redesign
Hey Andrew, 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) 22:15, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Well it wasn't any sort of "major" redesign of the actual process. It's just the set up of it. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 23:07, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

The Phantom Edit
I've decided to focus on the Phantom Edit, but apart from what looks like a weird Youtube parody version I can't seem to find it. Do you know anything that could help? Unit 8311 Talk!  18:47, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the late reply. I can't find the actual fanfilm and never have seen it before; from the Wookieepedia article, it sounds kind of illegal, lol. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 19:32, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Aha. I'll see if there's any internet commentaries or detailed descriptions out there, then. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  19:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

Question
Should Cruentus news go in the SWF news or the fanon updates section? Unit 8311 Talk!  16:46, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I'd say Fanon; SWF news should be about news for the wiki itself like policy decisions. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 17:10, 12 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, thanks. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  17:11, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

As I mentioned to Unit, and this is just my opinion, you should sponsor it before writing an article about it or else it's bias. I'd also have someone other than Unit write the article to avoid potential bias as well. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 17:12, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Request
Drewton, I've got two things for you. Firstly, based on your backgrounds for CUSFWN, I need you to make a logo for my Star Wars: Cruentus series--do a title against a backdrop such as this or this. If possible, do both. Secondly, I have decided to set the CUSFWN deadline for the end of this month, to avoid procrastintion, so I'd like a general progress report, see how things are getting on. Unit 8311 Talk!  15:37, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Alright, sure. Since you said based on the CUSWFN backgrounds, do you want more of just a logo or a banner? For the deadline, while it would be good to have it done by then, I think that's not a great idea because it will end up rushed like all the CUSWFN editions have been lately. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:42, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Just to chime in on something, Unit's deadline is over 2 weeks from now so you have plenty of time. Anyway, the real reason for my message is to ask a question: you say that there's going to be some sort of interview for this edition, yet I've seen nothing in regards to setting this up. If you'd like, you can interview me about whatever you want. I just want to make sure there's something there. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 18:45, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Sort of a bit of both, though as it's for an infobox I guess it's kinda up to you. And as Rhea said, we've still got plenty of time to do whatever you plan to do. Unit 8311 [[Image:1110 Big small.jpg|20px]] Talk!  19:13, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
