Answers
Here's the answers to you're questions:
 * 1) Brandon Rhea is the admistrator that you would want to know.
 * 2) You can make any sort of fanon that you desire (as long as it somehow relates to Star Wars). You can be as non-canon or canon-friendly as you want.
 * 3) There are all sorts of templates. Check them out here. There's a Madeby template and a Major editing going on here template.

Matters
Hello, in your article Hand of darkness, please don't place templates on the page saying it was protected when it's not; pages are only protected due to vandalism here. Also, please never direct link images, as you did with that same article and I removed. If you want to upload an image, please use Special:Upload to do that, and don't direct link. Thanks. iChat What I've done 08:12, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, all article (except fan fictions) are to be written in the past tense, as you didn't do with Hand of darkness, and please categorize all your articles, by typing at the bottom of the page to produce a category. I've changed the article to past tense and put in a category this time, but you should be able to do it in future. Thanks.

 * OK, no problem, we're all here to help you in getting started. And articles are all just as easy to write as each other, but it's really just a matter of personal preference. Also, please sign all messages left on talk pages like this: ~, to produce your signature. Thanks once again. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 08:30, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * In your article massive attack, you haven't categorized it as you should have, and there's only an infobox. To not be deleted, an article needs categories and at least one line of text, and you have 24 hours in which to do so. Please do and, if you need any help, please just ask. Thanks. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 08:50, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I see you've added text to massive attack; well done, but it still needs categories. Almost there though! [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 08:54, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, a signature is definitely necessary. And the categories can be found here. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 09:09, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * I've also removed the image from Massive attack because the image policy means that you have to upload it properly rather than link the url of the image into the article. If you want the image, please upload it properly. Thanks. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 09:24, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

No, the image is still wrong. Categories are fine. Text is fine. Also, please don't created your own improvement templates; we have our own. iChat What I've done 11:48, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, the text isn't, so you must just have a bad browser. I suggest downloading Mozilla Firefox. Also, there is no image; I removed it, as it was incorrectly done. And I've added the template to your article for you. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 13:11, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Quotes
When writing a quote, please use the quote template, and type: "quotehere"

- person quoted here to produce a quote. I fixed this for you in Massive attack. iChat What I've done 13:19, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Protection
There's a Template:Protected, but only an administrator can protect a page. Also, protection usually happens when a page get vandalized repeatedly, or if a page (such as the the Main Page) is very important. At the moment, you don't have any reason to request protection for a page. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Activate Holocron ) 15:16, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Infoboxen
Sorry, I don't see any problems on that page. Try to delete the Cache (Browsing history/Temporary Internet Files). Other than that, I don't know what to do. Sorry. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Activate Holocron ) 15:16, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Signature policy
Also, please read your Signature policy. Your signature must somehow incorporate "Spartan-53" in it. Calling yourself "Darth Odysseas" doesn't indicate that the user is "Spartan-53" (you). Sorry, but this is only so we know who you are. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Activate Holocron ) 15:21, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Images
Please don't use hyperlinks as images. I already replaceed the hyperlink image on the Hand of Darkness (Spartan-53) article with Image:Aktons Lightsaber.jpg. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Activate Holocron ) 15:54, 15 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, no. URL's are not what we want. Use Special:Upload to upload it, and then paste the link into your article, for example, if you uploaded the image [[Image:Darth_tom.JPG]] you'd copy and paste that into your article. URL linking's against the signature policy. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 15:57, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Newcomer
These questions may have been answered by Tom and Michael above, but I'll answer them anyway in case they weren't: I hope that helps. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom) (Record) 16:17, 15 July 2008 (UTC)
 * 1) You can't protect your articles. We only protect articles if they are subject to immense vandalism.
 * 2) If by special projects you mean projects that the community can become involved with, then yes there is one major one right now. It's called Forum:Project Cruentus and it's becoming a very large project here at Star Wars Fanon.
 * No, it's not necessary to follow canon.
 * 1) If by "suggest an article" you mean for an article to read, I suggest you read our Featured Articles. Remember, though, that you can't make any major edits to them because of our Editing Policy. If you actually mean articles that will help you learn what to do here, please read all of our policies.

Sourcing
Please read our Image Policy. You'll see that citing Wookieepedia as a source, as you did with Image:ARC Captain Ordo.jpg, is not proper, as it is against United States Copyright Law to do so. Please read the policy so you can learn how to source your images, and please do this immediately because of the image is not sourced by 2:10pm Eastern Standard Time tomorrow (July 16th) it will be deleted. Thank you for your cooperation and understanding, and please let me know if you have any questions. - President Brandon Rhea  (Pressroom) (Record) 18:10, 15 July 2008 (UTC)

Please, this is another article of yours you haven't categorized! I, and others, have told you lots of times to categorize your articles, and it's not that hard! Please do so immediately, and with all future articles. iChat What I've done 09:56, 16 July 2008 (UTC)


 * That doesn't matter if it's under construction. The first thing you should do is put categories. Also, please see how I formatted the comments you left on my page, and please do the same in future. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 10:21, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

R3-L6
Sorry, it's too late; I've already made some minor changes to the article. I believe it needs some more work. Also, you used the word "robot" a lot in the article. In order to give it more of a Star Wars-like feel, can you please use the word "droid" instead? Sorry and thanks. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Activate Holocron ) 16:41, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Review
I'll review your article if you don't mind how critical I make it, and if you don't take it as an assault on yourself. I'm obviously not going to say 'What a terrible article' (I hope) but I don't want any offense taken. That fine? iChat What I've done 10:39, 17 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Project Cruentus
Well, I saw the message you left on Brandons page about joining Project Cruentus, and, as the Project founder and unnoficial 'head', the truth is that it's very late into the Project, and very crowded, so we're not really letting many people in any more. If you have a really good idea, and pitch it to me, then I'll have to think about it, but the problems are too many people; it's nothing against you personally, it's just we'd need a really good idea from you before allowing entrance. I'm sorry, but I have to take into account the greater good of the Project and the other members as well. This isn't a no, but you'd need a good idea please. iChat What I've done 07:31, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Thanks very much for supporting my RfA, but, unfortunately, your vote had to be stricken as you need to have been here for two months and had 250 mainspace edits, per the voting policy to vote. Thanks, however, once again. iChat What I've done 08:17, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Friends
Hey. I see no problem with you, sure we can be friends. See ya around ! Arav (talk ) 08:55, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Michaeldsuarez I think would make the best admin. I think Tom should be a admin because he is more active then Gnosis is knowledge. I think people usually only rate or review articles that they think is worthy. Is there anything you would like me to rate? [[Image:AndeLeg.jpg|20px]] Arav (talk ) 09:18, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Rating: Your droid article is good and I rate it 7.6/10 for a user being here for 4 days. [[Image:AndeLeg.jpg|20px]] Arav (talk ) 09:29, 18 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh, you would not wan't to see my articles. I have made 40 something articles and Arav is my second best after Battle of Lehon (Cruentusian War)for Project Cruentus. I am not really a article writter. I am mostly on talk pages and the forums. I am on the Banjo-Kazooie Wiki mostly now. [[Image:AndeLeg.jpg|20px]] Arav (talk ) 09:39, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Firstly, the MoS means we don't have titles in article titles, so your article has been moved here. The image code is [[Image:Imagename.JPG/PNG/etc.|captionhere|sixepx]] (Edit the code to fit your needs) and the quote code is "quothere"

- personquotedhere . Hope that helps. iChat What I've done 11:19, 18 July 2008 (UTC)


 * That's called a caption. Re-read my last message, and it says how to do that. Starting my review of your article now. [[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] iChat What I've done 11:37, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Intro
Sorry, but you didn't have an introduction for Flexible Attachment before, so I added Intro to it. I removed that template since you just added an induction. Sorry. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Activate Holocron ) 16:09, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Sabé Arcadia
I've used images from The Lord of the Rings to great effect in my fanon. The realistic feel of that trilogy and the actors that portray the characters are perfect for my stories. As for the word Arcadia, I did not know that. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 20:05, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Cruentus
Well, why do you think we need a new faction? What ideas would you have for it, and what would they do? Also, please sign all your posts/comments. iChat What I've done 10:32, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

Sorry. The best idea is to put the ideas template on your article. <font color="Green">Arav (<font color="Green" size="1">talk ) 22:43, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Clone
Firstly, please sign all your posts/comments; I don't expect to have to ask you again. And, for your query, I'd make the page name as the Clone Code, eg E3R2 101 or something, and have his normal name, eg. Bob, redirect to that page. iChat What I've done 08:23, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

It's an okay article, but that's alright since nobody really expects anything special from a lightsaber article. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Activate Holocron ) 14:58, 21 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Shield operation rating
I would say 5/10 for a new user. Also, people don't rate articles as soon as they are made. The only way to get a rating is from another user eg. Tom and I. If you want a review, thats a different story. If you want a review, you can ask a user to do it or you can add the articles name to the Critic's Lounge. I strongly recomend reviews for long and interesting articles. <font color="Green">Arav (<font color="Green" size="1">talk ) 00:31, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Pic
I made the picture myself. Also, for your comments on that page, the article's fine. You're allowed to write whatever you want that's Star Wars related here. And he's allowed to just have one sentence and not have it under construction. He's allowed to just have a one sentence article. And Sith Lords may have been Jedi once, and so they may still have green lightsabers. And please don't say stuff like 'This article has the chance to be featured' when there's one line of text; any article has the ability to be featured, with work. iChat What I've done 08:44, 22 July 2008 (UTC)

RE: Shield Operation
Well, asides from the requirements on the GA page, it's far too short. Too much is just a list saying who participated in it, and who died in it. Considering the amount of text in it, I'd be expecting at absolute minimum eight times that. At least eight sections of at least forty lines to make it really good. And not just history; there's so much more. You need a BtS section, for FA, have sections on funding, etc. Not just history. Also, there's nothing really in the storyline. Very light weight and boring storyline in my opinion. Also the writing style didn't grab me. Rating: 6.3/10. -- iChat What I've done 17:58, 23 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Earth era
It's an era that is exclusive to the Alternative Star Wars Saga. Anyone who asks to make an article in this era will very likely be turned away. However, you can still create articles revolving Earth, just not in this particular storyline. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 19:20, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
