Votes
I think I just wiped out some of your votes in the joke thing. I don't know why there wasn't an edit conflict. You'll want to go back and re-vote. Sorry. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 00:51, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Lol, first you remove my welcome to new users, then you remove my votes (kidding, of course)  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:54, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

I'm just out to erase whatever you do. Watch out, next time you might find that Idnum-Ki is suddenly Ussej Padric Bac LXKDJSJ22291138. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 00:55, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, that sounds like a good Sith name for him... Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:57, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

What, Darth LXKDJSJ22291138? Lol, woah, real intimidating. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 00:58, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Indeed. Or I could reveal that he's actually Battle Droid unit LXKDJSJ22291138 who dubbed himself Darth Tyler  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 01:00, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Why would you want to destroy your fanon like that? - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 01:01, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You do know I'm not serious, right? Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 01:02, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Of course. No one could be that stupid. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 01:03, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Eras
What are you trying to do with Eras? The template works fine for me (pre-revisions) so I see no need for the edits, but I'd just like to know what you're trying to work here. --Victortalk 22:16, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Currently, the eras are appearing on the top right of the article, rather than over the top line as on Wookieepedia. When I try copying the exact Wookieepedia template it doesn't even appear. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:27, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Ah, well I don't have that problem, but that might be because I use monobook. But then again, I don't really see what the problem is exactly; I took screenshots of the two sets of era icons for you to see: Wookieepedia (from Mara Jade Skywalker article) and SWFanon (from Narod Antrell article). They look the same to me, so then again, it might be the skin difference. --Victortalk 22:34, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Just tested it to see if it would make a difference on another computer, and same for me. On Wookieepedia with Monaco, the era icons are over the line, not just on top of it. I don't see how, but perhaps it was done on Wookieepedia by editing a MediaWiki template; it's not working right on SW Photonovels either. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:39, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Hm. Can you take a screenshot or two so I can see it exactly, please? --Victortalk 22:48, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

feedback/advice
Hey mate, thanks for your time. I'm still getting my head around everything that goes into doing fanon well, and I was just wondering if I could get some feed back and advice on my article "Alpha Saber". I’m aware that grammar and spelling are among my (the articles) downfalls but I’m proud of the general idea and flow of my story but want to see how I might be able to polish it up, any help would be great. Thanks heaps for your time.Corron Zenith (Talk) 02:18, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Looks very good from what I can tell. With some more work and cleanup, you might be able to get it for GA status. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:44, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

KotOR help
Hey Drewton. Brandon and I have been discussing some stuff about Revan as of late and we wanted to know if you could help us out, please, since you can take screenshots from Knights of the Old Republic. If you can do this for us, may you please take a screenshot of a male Revan with the head of the oriental, bald man with a mustache/goatee (from this image, row 3 column 1), wearing the traditional / blue / tan (see bottom left) Jedi robes (three different screenshots) wielding a blue lightsaber, please? For now, these would just be "test" shots so to speak, so the images would just be of Revan posing so we can see which look we like best for him. Well please let me know your response, thanks. :) --Victortalk 05:20, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Sure. Is this for ASWS? I myself don't really like any of the heads, but I think the bald one looks the most Revan-ish, judging from his personality in TSL. Also, here's the Monaco Wookieepedia eras, and the fanon eras. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 12:28, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Yeah, this is for the ASWS. We're doing a Darth Revan article, found here (aside from the intro, though, the bio is currently on my workspace). - Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 15:48, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * If there's enough room when you're finished, you can use my light side Revan costume if you want. I also have this image which I took back in the summer which you can use. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 16:01, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Tips

 * Hi drewton, long time no see! Sorry I've been gone awhile but I've been busy with school, helping a conservative campaign and stuff. The reason I need to talk to you is I have recently got some styrophome and I wanted to spay paint it grey and stuff, what type of spray paint should I use. TroybShadowFeed contribs[[Image:PoTDT.jpg|50px]] 23:44, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * For a large styrofoam area I would suggest using spray paints. Here's how my attempt and spray-painting styrofoam turned out a few years ago. I'm probably not the best person to ask about specific paints, since I myself don't like the paints I'm using. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:38, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

Revan images
When I start adding images into Revan (ASWS), would you mind if I used some images you've already uploaded like Revan and Malak on Lehon, etc.? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 16:34, 31 October 2008 (UTC)

 * Sometimes, yes. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:47, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Neverworld
Out of curiousity, why would you simply assume that the author of Neverworld meant the title to be "Netherworld of the Force"? Perhaps he actually did mean Neverworld? That's his choice to call it Neverworld if he wants, and we shouldn't be assuming what he meant. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 23:22, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The author isn't great at spelling, "Netherworld" sounds like "Neverworld", and the description matches. I'd say it's safe to assume that's what he meant. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 23:24, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

That's a very weak assumption. He very well may have meant Neverworld. In the future, it'd be best to ask an author (even if it means waiting one month like in this case) what they meant to say, because you could be surprised and find out that they really meant what they originally put. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 23:26, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Help
Hey, Drewton! I was creating a page and decided to place a quote in it, said by this guy. Canonically, he didn't say the quote, so should the link to Kyle Katarn be from Wookieepedia, or from this wikia?

Message me for Q/A. Thanks!

(I'm asking YOU because... wait, I don't know...) JadenKorr13 (Talk) 01:52, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * It doesn't really matter, but unless you're planning to make a fanon story for Kyle Katarn, I'd suggest linking to Wookieepedia. It's also more complete than simply the disambiguation page that comes up for Kyle Katarn here. And welcome to Star Wars Fanon!

UotM updating
(This should of been updated yesterday). Since you are the most active admin on at this moment, can you please change the UotM, from me to User:Michaeldsuarez.

TCO
Hey Drewton, I've got opinion questions for you. I want to go back in TCO and add in a few more bits of the Invasion of Utapau, like storming into settlements and capturing more people, etc. (kinda like the stuff from Galactic Battlegrounds). What do you think would be the best way to go about doing this? Should I make new chapters? Should I add them into pre-existing chapters? Also, I'm interested in knowing why you didn't like the Ophuchi segments all that much, so if you could tell me about that too that'd be great. Your opinions would be helpful. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 16:06, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're only planning to add a section or two, I'd say add them to already existing chapters. If you're planning more, I'd suggest making an entirely new chapter for it. Sounds like a good idea anyways, though. To be honest, the reason I didn't like the Ophuchi was mainly because they didn't feel "Star Wars" whatsoever. They were more like something you'd see in LOTR or another fantasy story, not a sci-fi movie series. I'm a Catholic Christian, but I don't like the idea of adding religion to Star Wars. They might have worked for another story, but for the movie saga, you should have just stuck to Jedi and Sith, IMO. I like the idea of having someone that isn't just a Jedi or Sith in my stories (Idnum-Ki, for example), but I wouldn't do it for any of the six films. It kind of felt like, no offence, how Karen Traviss uses the Mandos. Anyways, those are just my views. I still greatly enjoyed the rest of what's complete of the story; the Ophuchi were the only notable thing I disliked. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 21:42, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, Star Wars isn't a science fiction series. Sci-Fi is something like Star Trek where there's some actual science to it. Star Wars is and always has been fantasy. A lot of its influences were Lord of the Rings and things like Dune, both of which are also fantasy. As for the Karen Traviss comparison, I'm not following. She took a pre-existing group and poorly altered them to the point where they didn't even resemble what once was. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 21:50, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * I'd say it's both. Perhaps more of a fantasy story, but it has more of a sci-fi feel and elements to it. Simply because it was inspired by works like LOTR doesn't meen it does or should feel like it; they share some of the same ideas, but neither feel like each other whatsoever, at least to me. Fantasy doesn't involve spaceships and aliens. What I meant for it being like Karen Traviss's use of the Mandos was how much she uses them. You've used the Opuchi and Bendu in most of your works, and every SW book Traviss has done involves Mandalorians. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:01, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I've never used the Ophuchi before. They were created specifically for TCO. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 22:04, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ah, sorry. I admit, I don't know a lot about the rest of the ASWS, and to me the Bendu and Ophuchi are basically the same, probably from reading Order of the Jedi Bendu of the Ophuchi. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:09, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Well, the Ophuchi are descendents of members of the Jedi Bendu, but after fifteen thousand years they've lost a lot of what the Jedi Bendu were. The galaxy, save for the Bendu at the time of TCO, doesn't know anything about the Jedi Bendu because of the Third Jedi Bendu Schism. So because of that, the Ophuchi are really just desert hermits who worship the Force, and some aspects of the Jedi Bendu like the Prophecy of the Son of the Suns (Chosen One). The Bendu Order, while it was created in the aftermath of the Third Jedi Bendu Schism, ended up becoming corrupted and they turned into religious fanatics. After the Great Sovereign Crusades they were whipped back into shape, but they became more monk-like and highly peaceful. They also had nothing to do with the Ophuchi. So although the Bendu and the Ophuchi have the common lineage in the form of the Jedi Bendu and the Third Schism, none of the three organizations really have anything to do with one another. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 22:13, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Powers
""Powers" should be used instead of "talents" for Force users."

- You

While I'll keep that in mind and likely follow that in the future because it makes a lot of sense, just keep in mind that when it comes to something like this it currently boils down to personal preference because the Good article requirements, the Featured article requirements and the Manual of Style do not necessitate that usage. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 17:10, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Alright. If you want, you can change it back. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 17:27, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Irony
Here's some ironic timing: I was just about to ask if you'd be able to duplicate the sun in this image into another part of the image to make it look like the twin suns of Tatooine. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 17:40, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:00, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Thanks. Also, if you don't mind, can I revert the Obi-Wan/Darth Maul image back to the version where the lower lightsaber is activated? You were right, the top one looks awkward. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 18:04, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Of course. It's officially under ASWS copyright anyways, I guess  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:06, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Haha, yeah. While we're at it, let's see if you can do something else for me. Do you think that, in this image, you'd be able to replace Anakin's head with Dooku's head and make it appear that it's nighttime? That'd be a great help if you could. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 18:28, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. I couldn't find any images of Christopher Lee from the side, so I had to use a statue. Hopefully it still looks realistic enough. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 19:26, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Looks very good. Thanks, I appreciate your work. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 23:18, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Drew, I think distribution of the CUSFWN is somewhat overdue. Could you please finish off the few things that need doing so that it can be distributed? Apologies if I sound impatient. Unit 8311 Talk!  19:41, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Request
Hey Andrew, is there any form of chat that we can communicate on in private and quickly? Such as AIM, Y!M, IRC, or anything? I have a specific image (sort of) request for you but I rather discuss it in detail in private with easy, quick back to back replies. Anyway, just let me know what form we can communicate on if possible, or if not. Thanks. --Victortalk 03:28, 7 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, I have to go within a few minutes, but I should be able to come on IRC tomorrow morning. Or, if you don't care if it's chatting or not just as long as it's private, you can E-mail me at bartonfilm@gmail.com.

 * Once again, just checking up on how the Main Page redesign is coming. It's getting fairly close to having the first featured work, so it'd be good to have the new Main Page soon. Thanks. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 02:13, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Cancel bans
Well Drewton I had to reach you from third computer I have in my home. I hope that the e-mail I sent to Michaeldsuarez has reached you. Anyway I want you to turn down all these damn bans you sent to Darth Vukure. You know why? Recently I got some recent ideas for updating the content of Vector. The thing is can I edit Vector? No of course because my brother Darth Vukure has done such a mess. He is being banned for a month, and he tries to log in from several computers in my home. But he doesn't know something, and he tends to forget it as many times I tell it. WE CANNOT LOG IN WITH THE SAME USER. He is such a damn youngling in experience in this wiki, that this ban has turned to an infection to all the computers of the house. I told him that even if he goes to hell, if he logs in with the same user, then he will still have a ban. But he doesn't hear me. I want you to remove the bans from all the IPs Darth Vukure logged in. Trust me he won't do any stupidity again. George Skywalker (Talk) 07:59, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

The ban on DarthCronox1027
Hello Drewton. This is DarthCronox1027 under a different username as I do not want to be banned for another three days. I am new here, and I understand that you are exercising your duties correctly. I understand that I uploaded the images without sourcing them. But at that time, I did not know how to source them. There was no way to contact you to ask how to source them, so I waited a day and looked it up. I believe I have learned how to now, and have with two images. This other image yo have banned me for, I cannot find. I will gladly source it if I am allowed to as it was an honest mistake. I know how to source know. If I may also add, the images I upload come from me. I put them onto photobucket originally, but actually was able to upload them from my computer. I was not aware at the time that I was required to source them.

In conclusion, this this third time was an honest mistake and I(DarthCronox1027) would prefer to be unblocked for the third offense. The first two are past, and I was not aware. I believe I should be allowed to fix my error now instead of waiting for three days. If I have not sourced properly on my other pictures. Please inform me.

 * Alright, since I know you honestly didn't know how to source them, you seem to know how to now, and you're a new active contributing user, I'll unblock up. Due to the Sockpuppet policy, however, this account has to be banned, but I don't think that's a problem for you since you'll have another account.

Reply
Well I have already changed my password so that he would not log in with my user. Also I would like to inform you that I told him a thousand times that we cannot simply svoid such warnings. Anyway I will give you an easy tip on how to know if Darth Vukure is using my account. Its quite simple, I don't care about anything that has to do with Helrae(Helrae is the first article Darth Vukure began, so any other article Darth Vukure edited is based on that). Second I don't prefer Mary Sue sentences in my articles. Third Darth Vukure tends to create female heroes rather that male. For example Darth Lumenaya, Helrae Bulsur, Darth Erareya. Fourth and the most rare, I don't murder Latin words. But Darth Vukure does. One day Darth Vukure wanted to make a Sith character. I told him that Latin words for name are better than anything else. So he searched the Asterix dictionary for any Latin words and them HE FOUND THE ERRARE(HA HA HA HA HA HA). But he made a few changes in the word. He turned the errare to erare. Then he tried to make erare a female sith name. He found that Darth Traya was based on betrayal. Then he made Erareya. So now I hope that you will not stumble upon Darth Vukure's articles and think if I really wrote them. I just don't try to turn Latin to Papuan. George Skywalker (Talk) 17:35, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Vukure
It probably is him based on the writing, but if I were making the call I'd much rather be on the safe side by considering it could be someone else with poor English, and therefore asking a Wikia Staff member to do an IP check. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 18:54, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
