Joining the community
Hey KyranEllis! Sorry if this added message seems a bit overwhelming after the huge welcome message you just received, but what I wanted to say is important enough to re-emphasize it here. I wanted to make sure you were as aware as possible of the fantastic community we have here on the wiki. There is literally so much to do beyond just working on your own articles. I definitely don't want to sound like I'm suggesting you shouldn't work on your own articles, but there's a larger community out there too and we'd all love for you to get involved! If you have any questions about the community, which I strongly encourage you to participate in, don't hesitate to ask me. Thanks, and once again welcome to Star Wars Fanon! – -- Brandon Rhea (Talk) 01:32, September 9, 2012

Hey there
Hello KyranEllis! I just wanted to make sure you've read our manual of style and layout guide, as well as our policies, because I made some formatting adjustments to several of your articles. You're not in trouble, and I'm more than happy to help, but you need to make sure you're following these formatting guidelines, including Bolding the first usage of the article name (using article name to bold), making sure you have an introduction which can just be a sentence or two giving an overview of the character, and properly categorizing your articles. If you have any problems, questions, or concerns, please ask me. You're doing a great job, keep up the good work! Thanks, and good luck with future edits.

Please source and license the following images: You have Twenty-four (24) hours to source and license these images, after which time, if they are not sourced or licensed, they will be removed. Please see to this issue immediately. Trak Nar Ramble on 02:27, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * File:IMG 0459-1-.png And for the record, you are not the creator of this image and therefore you cannot license it as public domain. It came from The Clone Wars.  Please find the correct source for this image immediately.
 * File:Luv Li of Shili.jpg This requires a source and license.
 * File:Mother Talzin of Dathomir.png It doesn't use the GNU license, either, as this is copyrighted material.
 * File:Prepare Yourselves Sisters. the War has come to Dathomir..jpg Needs a source and license.
 * File:Mother Talzin and Two Nightsisters.png This is NOT public domain, as you did not create it, and you cannot decide to release it as such.  Source and license it.
 * File:IMG 0435-1-.png You are not the creator, it is not public domain. Source and license it.
 * File:Mother Talzin Relationship.png Not GNU, either. This is COPYRIGHTED material.  Source and license it.

A few more things...
Don't call an image "Image.jpg". You had overwritten another image by doing that, and I had to revert it and remove your version, as it was not sourced or licensed. When you upload images, give them descriptive file names.

Also, just because you take a pic off the TV doesn't make it yours. It's still a screenshot of a copyrighted program. Source and license it as such.

And another thing; categorize your pages. Don't label them as "sprot" either. They are not protected. Only an administrator can protect pages.

That is all. Trak Nar Ramble on 04:23, October 27, 2012 (UTC)
