Sorry. I just checked the page history, and ITCO's summary said "new page". This was what I misinterpreted.&mdash; TK-999  (Diplomatic channel · Campaign of conquest) 19:24, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

I still new here and it's the first Wikia I joined ^^ I'm still Learning my ways around. I Already had some help of the user TK-999 with other articles, unfortunately he deleted my contribution to the site Cassidy Courier Services. First I didn't understand why but I got now. Because I'm the Chosen One created the article in the first so TK-999 needed deleted my contribution...

And TK-999 no hard feelings you just did your job ;) --G@mbit (Talk) 20:04, March 22, 2011 (UTC)

HTML help
Hi Brandon! After a flawed experiment to attempt to create the same userbox container as the one on my Wookieepedia userpage, I gave up, as here I could not get the same result; namely, the section titles did not want to go to the center and the entire thing was mere Sith ∑hit. Could you please help? Thank you.&mdash; TK-999  (Diplomatic channel · Campaign of conquest) 16:59, March 23, 2011 (UTC) Thanks!&mdash; TK-999  (Diplomatic channel · Campaign of conquest) 17:39, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I added SWF userboxes into it, which might have been the cause, as the Wookieepedian userboxes share the same root (like the Imperial Fleet), while our userboxes are somewhat ragtag (like the Alliance Fleet).&mdash; TK-999  IAF_Logo.jpg(Diplomatic channel · Campaign of conquest) 17:31, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Reborn Sith (free-edit)
Hi Brandon, I wrote a page called Reborn Sith (free-edit) for my fanmade Season 4 of the Star Wars: The Clone Wars. I was thinking if you and other editors can help expand the article and write ideas. Let me tell you a little bit about what is going to happen. The first episode will be about when Obi-Wan, Anakin, Ahsoka, and Siri arrive to the Valley of the Dark Lords and encounter resurrected sith from The Brotherhood of Darkness, c. 1,000 BBY. The sith that would be resurrected are: Kaan, Githany, Darth Bane, Sirak, and other sith lords. When I was at wookieepedia, I noticed sad that Githany turned to the dark side and died as a sith. But when she returns, Obi-Wan will spare her and will redeem herself back to the light side. I hope you'll since yo utold me to create articles with free-edits, and that is what I;m going to do. It's hard to think of some ideas to add. Well, I hope you'll help, and may the force be with you.--Spenpiano (Talk) 21:03, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Images
Hi Brandon, I have still one question left... How do I upload a picture for the CCS Article? I get a error when I try to upload one

I go to "Community", "New images" I use "Add a Photo"... "Upload a Photo to the Wiki" and in the end I get this "Permission error"...

Permission error = "The action you have requested is limited to users in one of the groups: Autoconfirmed users, Sysop, Wikia Staff, Helpers."

So do you know what I do wrong? Or how do I become a "Autoconfirmed user"? --G@mbit (Talk) 23:21, March 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * I was gonna say that email thing, but I didn't want to be wrong with policy for the 5th time this month. - I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 23:54, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

That is a laboUrious task. WhilST I root you on, you will need luck on your side, chum.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 00:03, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Why, I am shocked....I can't believe you would resort to insults. You will rue the day you messed with the ITCO. I have pets on my side.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 00:16, March 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * You also need to confirm your e-mail address. Have you done that? - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 23:51, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

That could be the problem. When I created my account here I used an old e-mail adress. This e-mail adress is no longer valid. I realized after I created my account, so I changed to my currently one. I only got an e-mail to verify my new e-mail adres. --G@mbit (Talk) 08:31, March 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Did you click the confirmation link? - Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg (talk) 16:35, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

"Your e-mail address has now been confirmed.
 * Yes it did... I did click on the link and I was forwarded and got this masage:

American spelling rule
Hi Brandon. Since the Senate Hall forum I started has been archived, I figure this is an opportunity to regroup regarding the policy about American spelling. I don't know if an amendment is still on the cards, but I thought I'd share my own thoughts about it. Hope you don't mind.

Wookieepedia uses American spelling. I find this reasonable, since as you pointed out, much of the source material is written that way. However, source material on this site is not Star Wars canon, it's the fanon written by the site's editors. In some cases, fanon may be rooted in Star Wars canon (just as Halo Fanon Wiki, for example, requires that everything on the site must conform to established Halo canon), but this isn't necessarily the case. Your Alternative Saga is a perfect example of a fanon series that is inspired by but completely independent of main canon. It may be appropriate to require that more generic articles (free edit articles like Jedi Knight, or disambig articles like Anakin Skywalker) be written in American spelling, in line with Star Wars canon, but I do not think pages relating to a personal fanon universe should be subject to such requirements.

When I was looking through other wikis to see their policies on spelling, I noticed that TARDIS wiki generally prefers British spelling but lists numerous exceptions for which American spelling is better (e.g. for American-published comics). The wording is also clearer and less strict than the one currently used here. Rather than mandating that British spelling must be used, it says only that British spelling is preferred and that users "reserve the right" to edit pages so they conform to British spelling standards. Judging by your discussion with ITCO, I would guess a change to this sort of wording would be more acceptable to existing users than removing the rule entirely.

Finally, as I mentioned on the forum, Wikipedia (like other sites that use Wikipedia's MoS) doesn't prefer either type of English but does require pages to be internally consistent. This, I think, is key. No matter what the policy is, or what type of English a page uses, every page should be consistent with itself.

Anyway, those are my feelings. Chances are that most of these things have occurred to you already, but I'm sharing them anyway. I'd be interested to hear your opinions on the matter. -- Supermorff (Talk) 21:58, March 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well how about just saying American English is preferred/recommended for all free edit articles, without the "reserve the right" comment? -- Supermorff (Talk) 22:12, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's very tricky. We want a description that covers all of the canon disambiguation pages (like Anakin Skywalker and Juno Eclipse, etc) as well as pages that are intended to cover a canon topic on behalf of multiple (arbitrarily many) fanons, whether or not the pages also serve as disambiguation (like Jedi Knight or Lightsaber). (Incidentally, I'm surprised there's no link to Lightsaber (ASWS) from the main Lightsaber page.) All of these pages will be free edit in addition to this. Are there any other sorts of pages we'd want to include? -- Supermorff (Talk) 22:58, March 24, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey, that's fine by me. That template was one of the things I was using to identify relevant pages anyway. I assume the wording will be refined further once other users have had a say, too. -- Supermorff (Talk) 23:09, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

Accounts
Jaksist Vos was my old one and I can't log on with it so I'd like to get rid of that one--Jax Vos (Talk) 22:32, March 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you

Bonjour

 * Good day to you Brandon, long time no see. I must say that I am delighted to see that things are still as I left them, in regards to the community. Anyway just wanted to pop in, say hello, see how you are doing, as well as numerous other users, and pop right back out. TroybShadowFeed[[Image:CIS Fleet.jpg|48px]] 23:20, March 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * I would like too, however requirements at home, a Federal Election on May 2nd and other things will not permit to. However that being said a return sometime during the summer would be possible, and during that time you will see a revamp of my current articles, since they do not reflect my current abilities. I will try and stay connected, but it will mostly be in patches here, and patches there. 23:57, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Editing
The edit padding thing was a joke. I put it there legitimately because I thought it might have been right. I did not do it to pad the stats. Anyway, sorry about that.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 06:31, March 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I thought that you wanted the thing since you introduced it to the site, but I guess not. By the way, the duplicate post was an error, not a stat pad. My computer is processing sort of slow at the moment, so I don't know when something goes through. Anyway, message received.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 06:35, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Right. I was aware that PDF files were not really covered or something like that because of the exchange between you and Nightmare on that blog. That was also what confused me. The story was not in PDF format, so I wasn't really sure if you wanted it or not for the non-PDF stuff. That reason and the "you introduced it to the wikia" reason were influential in my decision. - I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 06:42, March 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * Affirmative. I will stick to assumptions with other's copyleft stuff. And not this kind of . - I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 06:49, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Don't fall onto too many rock on the way down. I inter--oh shoot, I just remembered. I intuited hell as being a dimension of space below ground with many sharp rocks. Intuition is the key.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 07:07, March 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * I am hooked on a feeling, a BAD feeling. A feeling that all your base will now belong to US (United States). I have the Angel of Death and the 88th Form IV Master on my side. What do you have? The Jesus Patrick Bach and the StarWarsRP clan? Good luck. For I am the Chosen One. What was I Chosen for? I don't exactly know.- I'm the Chosen One You must see it... 07:17, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Mission to Mustafar (19 BBY)
I have changed it and is this enough or do i need to do more?.--TyphussJediVader (Talk) 00:03, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

I did more, i have changed the wording. Does this look fine to you.--TyphussJediVader (Talk) 00:33, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

I have added fanon to my page. So can it be moved back to Mission to Mustafar (19 BBY).--TyphussJediVader (Talk) 12:03, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Template:Treaty
Hey Brandon, I was looking for a Treaty infobox template and noticed that we didn't have one. How would I make one, similar to this? King of the Dugs  (Blab with me)  14:09, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * YAY! An early birthday gift, 2 days early! Thanks, Brandon! King of the Dugs  (Blab with me)  16:05, March 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * One more thing before I shut up: How do I make an era symbol? I want to make ASEsymbol3.jpg into an "Acrolian Star Empire Era" symbol, but I ain't sure how. King of the Dugs  (Blab with me)  16:33, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Pics
why can't I put a new photo on here?--Jax Vos (Talk) 16:40, March 28, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Brandon just wanted to let you know that my script is now 25 and a half pages done. But I'm nowwhere near being done. (just thought you would like to know.) Dar&#39;jetti (Talk) 19:27, March 29, 2011 (UTC)
