User talk:Obi maul12/Archive 1

This page is an archive for Obi maul12's talk page.

Categorization
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 do this, unfortunately, the articles will be deleted, and if you continue to create articles without categorizing 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 discussion archives 19:19, 10 February 2008 (UTC)

Images
When you upload an image, never EVER overwrite the previous image, as you did with Darth Maul. If a warning comes up that an image already exists under that name, simply add in a number to the file name to change the problem. Dexington 16:07, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Deletion
Hey, Vic asked me to attend to your question that you left on his talk page about your article and categorization. Which article was it? If you let me know, I can help you find a category and walk you through it. - President Brandon Rhea   (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  20:31, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Which article was it that needed to be categorized, and what do you mean by "add" your picture? Do you mean adding an image to your article? If so, what is the article in question and what image are you trying to add to it? - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]]  (Pressroom)  (Accomplishments)  21:56, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

To add a category to Foundations of the Galaxy, click edit on top of the article and scroll down to the bottom of the edit box. At the very bottom, add the category. You can find a list of all the categories at Special:Categories. Go through the list and find which one(s) suit the article best. As far as the images go, you seem to be doing it right. You know to select it from your documents folder, so if you then go to upload it after that and it doesn't work then it's nothing you're doing wrong. It'd be a problem with Wikia. Try again later. Just so I know, what was the image you were trying to upload? I know you uploaded some earlier, but they were deleted because you overwrote other images. For example, if you were to upload an image called "Sith.JPG", there are very good odds that there would already be an image with that name. If there is, you will be prompted with a screen that asks if you're sure you want to overwrite the existing image. ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS say no. Just back click and type in a new name for the image. Finally, and this is just for reference all the time, be sure to always source your images using Information per the Image Policy. - President Brandon Rhea   (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  23:51, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Image
I don't mean to sound like I'm accusing you of anything, but I don't understand how Image:Card silo.gif is a user created image. It looks like a professionally created image, though it's very small so I can barely see anything from it. Please just let me know how you created that image. Thanks. - President Brandon Rhea   (Pressroom)   (Accomplishments)  20:48, 13 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, yes, that template is only for user created things. You want the fairuse template. Please also be sure to properly source your image using the Information template per the Image Policy. As it stands, all you have as the licensing information (for whatever reason) is the template for the Picture Drive, so please be sure to remove that and properly source it. Thanks. One more thing, though, in the future please put all new messages at the bottom of my talk page rather than in a previous section. Thanks. - President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  21:15, 13 February 2008 (UTC)

Categorization
You must categorize Fluuto Juula within the next twenty-four hours or it will be deleted. You've been told about this regarding other articles before, so I really shouldn't have to remind you that you need to follow the Categorization Policy. Thank you for your cooperation. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  17:45, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
 * First off, please put all new messages at the bottom of my talk page. I don't really feel like searching half of my talk page for a new message. Second, I fixed the categories for you, so please take note of how I did it because I will not do it again in the future. Third, you can't link to Wookieepedia articles in a category. You need to link to categories here on Star Wars Fanon. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  19:36, 27 February 2008 (UTC)

Templates
What kind of template do you want to make? - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  23:40, 29 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Three things: first, if you're not going to be more specific then I can't help you; second, you must source every image you upload with the information template. I've told you about this twice already, and if the images you recently uploaded are not sourced within the next twenty-four hours they will be deleted, and if you ignore the warning again you will be blocked for a few days per our Blocking Policy. Third, you don't need to make a new section of my talk page for the same discussion. I asked you to post new messages at the bottom of my talk page, yes, but that's because you were asking about something different weeks after the original message. Sorry if I sounded harsh in this, but again please source your images and remember that I can't help you with a template unless you be more specific. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  03:22, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

"Source = Internet"? Um, I don't think so. That's like writing an astronomy paper and putting "The Universe" as your source. Do you really think a teacher would go for that? That's a rhetorical question, since there's only one answer and the answer is "no". If you can't provide an actual source (and don't put Google, Yahoo or any other search engine, but rather the actual website you got it from), then the images will still be deleted for not being properly sourced. Also, all images have a license. If it's a screenshot from a movie, TV show or video game, put screenshot. If it's not a screenshot and you didn't make it yourself, put fairuse. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  03:31, 1 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Question
I wasn't the one that banned you, Vic was. Please ask him for clarification on your block. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  02:38, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

RE:Sourcing images
Yes, you are correctly sourcing images now, so thanks for following our rules. And the reason you were blocked for a week was because we as administrators have the discretion of how long to ban users, as long as it's not ridiculous. You apparently learned how to source your images and to follow our rules within that period, so I believe your ban worked perfectly. So therefore, in the future, please follow our rules. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 19:27, 9 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Also, always remember to categorize all of your articles upon creation. And, also, please remember that you must write in past tense and exclude out-of-universe (OOU) content from in-universe (IU) sections. For example, eras are OOU, so they must only go in infoboxes or behind the scenes. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 19:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Restore
I restored Zasho Lojjav, but that is not a legitimate category. Go to Special:Categories for a list of pre-existing categories and put the article into that. This is your last categorization warning before you're banned for it. I shouldn't have to be telling you this. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  23:07, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Re:Coruscant
I saw, and I was just about to do it. From now on, when the system prompts you by saying that you'll be overriding an image, please don't do it unless it's yours or you have permission from the person who uploaded it. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  18:11, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
 * As I've told you before, if you're not going to be specific in your requests for help with a template then I can't help you.

Adminship
See Star Wars Fanon:Requests for adminship/Rules to see first if you meet the requirements, and secondly, it's not just creating articles that establish a potential admin. You must follow all of our standards with your articles, images, categories, user page, etc. and then you must be participating in community events and discussions as well as helping out users with any troubles. And, to be honest, don't request adminship now or anytime soon. It wouldn't be taken seriously if you did so, and you probably don't even meet requirements yet. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 18:30, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Not anytime soon, there isn't. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 18:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Final Warning
Get your facts straight: I blocked Darth rayze for an infinite amount of time and blocked Anti-Formal (his new account) for three days. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 20:10, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * You obviously haven't read our rules. You can't just say "Oh well, I don't like Obi maul12 anymore so I'm going to create a new account." Read our sockpuppet policy. Now stop bothering me about something you apparently don't understand. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 20:15, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

A thumbnail for what? --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 20:52, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * You do not thumbnail infobox images. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 21:06, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Ban
You've been banned for 2 days, per the Blocking Policy, for creating an article with only an infobox upon creation and for not categorizing it upon creation. You've been warned multiple times about your failure to follow article guidelines by both myself and Victor, so I hope this ban will help you realize that you need to follow our policies at all times. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask upon your return in two days. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  22:02, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Time
Read the Categorization Policy: "Articles must be correctly categorized upon the creation or it will be deleted". Yes, it says that there will be a warning, but you had received enough warnings. As for infobox articles, they're not allowed under any circumstances. You don't need five or ten minutes to add one category and one line of content. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  18:42, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

Your vote on the Good Article nominations page has been invalidated. Per the Voting Policy, no one can vote in anything until they have been here for a month and have 250 edits. You currently have 167 edits, and I don't believe you've been here for an entire month.

Re:Again
You put number signs in front of the color codes. You can't do that for the infoboxes or they will get messed up. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Pressroom)  <font color="#1A2BBB"> (Accomplishments)  17:07, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Ban
You have been banned again since you failed to categorize "Upsilon IV" despite all your past warnings. Your IP has been blocked as well. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 18:38, 21 March 2008 (UTC)


 * After looking through the IPs other articles, I unbanned you because the prose of writing and format was not your style. Clearly this guy was stealing your fanon and using your work, which is what confused me. Sorry about that incorrect ban. In the future, make sure no one adds unwanted things to your articles. What you can do it "watch" the page and in your preferences mark to get an e-mail each time one of your watched pages is edited, that way you see any malicious edits. Anyway I think it was that Darth Khan guy who was vandalizing your work and creating stupid articles. Again sorry for the mixup. --<font color="#1A2BBB">Squishy Vic <font color="#1A2BBB">discussion <font color="#1A2BBB">archives 18:42, 21 March 2008 (UTC)

Hm, well isn't this funny. You should be unbanned now since your IP was unblocked, but the funny thing is that your IP is also the IP of the user who you supposedly were not. The user who created badly formatted and uncategorized articles, so I wonder, was that you after all? Either way, just always log in when you want to edit and make sure you notify me or another admin when someone is using your stuff without permission in the future, in order to assure that it is not you trying to dupe us. Anyways, JSharp (a Wikia Staff member) has unbanned you, so you should be unbanned now. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 04:12, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Just upload the image here to Star Wars Fanon, ask me what to add, and then I'll download it and photoshop it. Once that is done, I'll re-upload it over the original file, and delete the original file. That way, it'll be easier on both of us.

Star Wars Fanon:Sockpuppets, and I'm already in the middle of rewriting it. There's not much really that's involved or that's needed in it, to be honest.

Your sig is fine, it's the height, not the width, that has to be no more than 25 px. The max width you can put on your image for your sig is 174px. Anything less is acceptable, and anything more is not.

You don't have to prove yourself to anyone. Just be a good community member and follow our rules. For example, a few of your articles don't follow the Manual of Style. You place headers such as early life with two equal signs (==Early life==) when instead everything about the life of a character/object goes under Biography or History, respectively. So, for Darth Saevus, put == Biography == and then === Childhood === instead of just ==Childhood==. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 04:00, 27 March 2008 (UTC)

Right now it's just a lot of drafts and such, so I can't really see it being released in Mid-2008 anyway. So no, it's not going to be in stores.

Yeah. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 19:51, 28 March 2008 (UTC)


 * No, I don't have too much free time. Just this week, in case you didn't know, it's spring break, and I don't go on vacation or anything like that. This week has been good to me in regards to that. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 21:18, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

I suppose you could either find a new image or keep the staff, as long as it's not a wizard's staff. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 21:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Ehh, more so, Brandon has too much, though. - Keep that kind of stuff to yourself, especially when you have no idea what you're talking about. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 21:20, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, sure. Click here for the voting page. The winners are all announced down at the bottom. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 21:42, 29 March 2008 (UTC)


 * I never approved of you using the Sli'th'ryn species. I asked you to give me specifics which I could look over. Secondly, you can use the image, since I didn't create it (you would've seen that had you clicked on the image and read it's information) but not for a Sli'th'ryn, if I even approve, since that is already Voh'deh'mo. And yes, I can do the image, and will do it as soon as possible. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 04:06, 30 March 2008 (UTC)

Article appearence
Hey about Jai Skirata's article looking a little bad, well it's going to look all bunched up like that until I get some text written down in the bio area of the page. I agree that that part dose look a little bad right now but imagine what it will look like when its finshed! I'm going to get to that soon but I need to come up with some interesting info on Jai first.Darth Trickster 01:07, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Two things
Firstly, can you please remove the redlink in your signature? It's going to be all over the wanted pages if you keep posting on talk pages and such with that redlink and it's unnecessary, so either you create the article ASAP or remove it from your signature. Thanks. Secondly, here is your image. I sure hope you aren't making another crossover. I personally wouldn't be able to vouch, since I haven't seen Kingdom of Heaven. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 03:55, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

Cool!
Thanks for your continued compliments regarding Jai! I'm glad you like my style, I strive for the best in every article I write and its nice to see that my stuff is drawing attention. As to creating a article together, absolutely! I would greatly enjoy working with another fannon writer such as yourself. What type of article did you have in mind? Perhaps a new class of Star Dreadnaught? Or...some type of awsome weapon or a starfighter? I'm sure by working together we could make one hell of a SWFannon article, possibly even one that might be featured as a GA or FA. I'm particularly skilled at creating soldiers and Sith and "evil" characters and ships and weapons, but when it comes to Jedi and "good guys" I'm not as proficient. Any ideas you have for creating Jai or any of my other characters would be great. I always have a little trouble thinking up some good events and stuff to pack the bio part of a article with anyway. I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on my other articles too, so feel free to suggest some stuff. Also, could you look over Darth Azazel and tell me what you think? I'm really attemping to make Azazel into a good, professional article as well and would like to know what you think of him. Thanks for all your compliments on my fannon. Oh, and were is your userpage and list of creations? Every time I attempt to go to your page to look around it says it was deleted, did you get banned for a while or something? I would like to see your fannon though so mabey you could give me a link or two to some articles you've created?Darth Trickster 19:38, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

You need to categorize evertyhing. Templates, categories, everything. Thank you. 207.233.58.100 23:32, 1 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Even though Vic told you very clearly, I don't see any category on Category:Sith Legions. I suggest you fix that. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 12:14, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Saruman
I had deleted the Saruman image because you left no indication you still wanted it. Once an image becomes unused, I'll delete it unless the uploader requests it not be. But I'll restore it, now. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 16:35, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, odd. Just re-upload it then under the same filename. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 19:33, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

First off, don't tell me how to be an administrator. Secondly, I won't change my ways, because there is a link to the simplified ruleset with every greeting and if they don't read it, it's their problem, not mine. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 21:41, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Either way, keep your "tips" to yourself. I've been an admin for nearly a year now, and I do not need to know how to do my duties around here, especially from someone who barely started out on SWFanon. As for the other questions, I can't help you with userboxes unless you tell me what you need first and I made the image on meez.com or something like that. --<font color="#9F0500">Victor Dorantes <font color="#0C003F">(discussion) <font color="#0C003F">(contributions) 21:58, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

Obimaul, you can't simply read the nutshell and then leave it at that. Do you really think that the nutshells would do the Categorization Policy or Image Policy justice? No, new users need to read all of it or they're just going to end up getting banned for not following rules. If they're going to complain about spending time reading policies, then perhaps they don't really want to join this community as much as they thought they did. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 21:35, 3 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Perhaps you should actually read the new image policy before using it as an example. What does "properly" sourced mean to someone who is new to Wikia? What does a 14 year old know about copyright law? That's right, nothing. They need to read the entire policy to know how to properly source their images, because if they don't then they risk being banned. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 21:50, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Obviously they'll get at least the standard amount of warnings first, but if we say "read the Image Policy" in those warnings and they just read the nutshell and think that they know enough, they risk being banned. That's what I meant when I said that. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 22:07, 3 April 2008 (UTC)

Lightningsaber
No breaks, not even for new members. Everyone needs to learn how to follow the rules on their own. We can't let people get accustomed to people fixing their breaches of policy for them. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 01:48, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Obimaul, you've been here long enough to know that you need to follow policies. Please properly source Image:Templar Knightsmen.jpg with the Information template in accordance with the standards of the Image Policy. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 16:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, it's the only way. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 20:12, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

Very well, and once again please source your images. You should be filling it out before you upload it. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 20:23, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Re-uploading the image with the Information template filled out won't source the image, because the information template won't appear. You either need to fill it out before you INITIALLY upload it, or you need to go to the "Edit this page" tab on the image. Also, you need to properly fill out the Information template. Please go to Image:Diyao VII.jpg and see how I did it. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  [[Image:Presidentialseal.gif|27px]] <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 20:30, 8 April 2008 (UTC)

The only parts that are absolutely required are the Description, the Source and the Licensing. However, that's assuming that you don't know the author. If you know the author of the image, you need to put it. If the other fields don't have anything to be filled out, just put "Not available" or else it'll look screwy. - <font color="#1A2BBB">President Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(Pressroom) <font color="#1A2BBB">(Record) 20:38, 8 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Wow, this talk page is way longer than it should be. Obimaul, how long will it take you to realize the policies aren't just to make this website look bigger and they actually have meaning and importance? Darthfuzzball 20:33, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
