Hello, and welcome to my talk page.

FAN page redesign
Good eeeevening Comrade Oohnit. I put together an idea for a redesigning of the featured article nominations page. You can find it here. To go along with that, please see my idea for how the Council of Seers namespace pages would be set up. My idea can be found here. After looking at the CS namespace example page, be sure to read my detailed explanation of how that page would work. You can find that explanation here. Please get back to me on this ASAP. I’m not going to bother with a CT on this since it doesn’t really require any sort of community vote or discussion, so once a majority of the Seers get back to me I’ll set everything up. Don’t worry, this isn’t extra work for you. I’ll take care of all of it. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 22:18, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Epin Lanmaw GAN
Just so you know, I corrected your objections on Epin Lanmaw. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 19:36, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I feel really stupid now that I see you voted for it.... - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 19:36, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Remaining Ahara objections
Please see the Ahara objections section on this page to view a list of all of the objections you have yet to correct for the Battle of Ahara. In the future, when you say you've corrected all objections, you need to have corrected all objections. This could have been done quite awhile ago. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 21:49, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Cruentus logo
How's this? Do you want me to change anything or add the words "Star Wars" above "Cruentus"? Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:59, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:
Thanks. I wasn't planning to make another faction maybe, just people that were involved. Minor people who did one great thing in the era.  Mecenarylord Enter if you dare 21:57, 16 March 2009 (UTC)

Re: Tahu
Unit, I'm going to have to ask you to stop asking me about this. You know full well that I have a lot of stuff to do outside of SWF and the Seers, and I get to reviews when I can. Because Tahu has already been halfway (or however long) reviewed, it's not my top priority. Why not go bug MPK? Or JM76? Or Solus? - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 20:04, 25 March 2009 (UTC)


 * No, you have asked me via IRC, and other members of your project have asked me. You've also asked me, specifically, to do your reviews in the past, meaning you're ignoring the fact that there are 7 other Seers (not counting you and me). - Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 20:18, 25 March 2009 (UTC)

CUSWFN
"However, we regret to inform you that due to computer problems, co-editor Drewton has been unable to contribute greatly. For this reason, and in light of the current date, Unit 8311 has decided to do a quick release to put an end to the usual whining."

- You

Probably for April Fools, lol, but just to make sure, I hope you're not planning to release it how it is right now. It needs major work. We've had two or three rushed issues; we can't have another one rushed. We should be waiting however long it takes us to do it as long as we can achieve good, non-rushed quality. Again, unless if you meant it as an April Fools joke, in which case, well done. Either way, I have some free time right now so I've started working on it again. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:50, 1 April 2009 (UTC)

my article cleanup
hey thanks for fixing my article on jade nion. i really aprrecate it!!!!!!!!!!!

Resignation
Unit, please see this. I'm sorry if it feels like I'm putting all the pressure on you, but I really think I've been more of a hindrance lately. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 03:38, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Request for Seership page
I just wanted to make you aware of this page that I created last night, as well as the nominee that's there. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 19:37, 21 April 2009 (UTC)

Hows it going?
Hey, hows it going? I looked at the CUSWFN edition and I am willing to help if you need it. Darth Craetor 03:19, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Cruentus novel update
I hadn't looked at it yet no. I'll do so as soon as I can though. Sorry I didn't reply in IRC, the hubby was having me look up a bunch of stuff and I didn't see it till I was logging off. -- Kathkira talk  23:04, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Tahu FAN
Hey Unit. Would you mind thinking about removing your nomination for the Battle of Tahu? It's clear that no one's going to look over it anytime soon, so it's just wasting away on the FAN page and acting as nothing more than a waste of space. I myself have tried reviewing it a couple of times but, I have to say, it's kind of painful. I'd suggest using the knowledge you've gained of FA requirements since writing it and give it a good rewrite. It could use it, in my opinion. Just my two cents. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 06:33, 14 May 2009 (UTC)


 * There are just errors throughout it in terms of the quality of the prose, in addition to the usual problems with Cruentus articles. It's not worth it for me to put up a more detailed review. It would be too long and a waste of my time. It's better that you just rewrite it because, FYI, Vic and Solus's objections did not involve having to rewrite the article. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 16:18, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

MPK's essay
Unit, since my essay's not finished and MPK's is, wouldn't it be better to replace mine with his for this edition? Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:46, 19 May 2009 (UTC)

I have more time now with summer approaching and I've started planning and writing a large edition for CUSWFN; is that alright with you? I wouldn't want to take too long though, so if so, don't wait anymore than two weeks for me. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 01:21, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

IRC Conversations (Comeback)
Hey Unit. I'm not sure if you remember, but there used to be a section in the CUSWFN for IRC conversations about various topics. One has already been published with Darth tom being interviewed with me. Here is a link to 2 more IRC conversations, one about Early SWF with JM76 and another with C3POtheDS about Avian Hunt. All were fixed up and slowly made into a readable article, here. If you want more, I will be happy to make more in the near future but there are 2 conversations done for two issues. Another can be made in some weeks with Tom and I about his Novel and then a conversation about Brandon on the current issues of the site or maybe just his novel/s. So how about it? --<font color=#B22222>Arav <font color=#801818>(<font color=#013220>Ancient Grove ) <font color=#801818>(<font color=#013220>Lost Archives ) 06:56, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Still thinking or got bigger issues to fry? --<font color=#B22222>Arav  <font color=#801818>(<font color=#013220>Ancient Grove ) <font color=#801818>(<font color=#013220>Lost Archives ) 09:41, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * See here please. --<font color=#B22222>Arav <font color=#801818>(<font color=#013220>Ancient Grove ) <font color=#801818>(<font color=#013220>Lost Archives ) 00:51, 23 May 2009 (UTC)

Election
See here. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 06:59, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * You were consulted when I tried to talk to you yesterday, but you instead decided to act like a drunk Boris Yeltsin so I gave up in trying to talk maturely with you on IRC. Besides, per what I just said in the forum, your permission is not required to elect a new co-head. You don't "control" CUSWFN. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 16:17, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to get to, but I gave up because I couldn't find Comrade Oohnit behind President Yeltsin. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 16:23, 20 May 2009 (UTC)

RE:Incidentally
Sure. Do you have any plans for nominated the Battle of Toydaria for GA or FA? Also, if you could check out my comments regarding PC on the Toydaria talk page, that'd be great. -- Joe Butler   (Talk to me) 21:03, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Okay. I have another question, like I said on the battle talk page: since I was 'booted out' of the project due to inactivity, does that mean I'm forbidden from ever joining again, or what? -- Joe Butler   (Talk to me) 21:23, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

The Battle of Taanab is pretty much finished. -- Joe Butler   (Talk to me) 22:54, 27 May 2009 (UTC)

Raptor Immediate Deletion
I was wondering if you would like to take a look at my Raptor article and tell me if you see anymore errors in the article? Thanks Darth Void (Talk) 18:43, 29 May 2009 (UTC)

Srav Weaponry
Hey Unit, I was wondering if I could use some of the Srav weaponry, as well as the Tsarka bomb, in one of my new articles, the Honorable Union of Desevro & Tion.

ECM
What does ECM stand for? -- Joe Butler   (Talk to me) 14:31, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. Also, do you have a projection as to when the next CUSWFN will be done? -- Joe Butler   (Talk to me) 14:57, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good. If you need any help with it, feel free to ask me. -- Joe Butler   (Talk to me) 15:03, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

My apologies. I guess I just got a bit excited. . Yeah, it can either be pulled or, as you suggested, other seers can refrain from adding more objections until it is cleaned up a bit more. -- Joe Butler   (Talk to me) 10:48, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Can you come on IRC to discuss the battle? -- Joe Butler   (Talk to me) 21:13, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

Hey, sorry about yesterday on the IRC; I have at least a half hour for sure now; want to come on IRC? -- Joe Butler   (Talk to me) 20:10, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

I'm back on IRC now. -- Joe Butler   (Talk to me) 21:06, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Renard slipstream
Here is a review for Renard slipstream:


 * Get rid of the comma after "Cruentusian War". By placing that comma there, if you remove the phrase within the comma you'll find that it says "during the Cruentusian War that enabled it to be used". This implies that it enables the war to be used. Personally, I'd rewrite the entire sentence to say "The Renard slipstream was a tactical maneuver created by the Necasian Military pilot Renard Curl during the Cruentusian War. The tactic was designed for use by the DarkBird-class attack fighter, enabling the fighter to be used against ground-based enemies." It's a lot better that way.
 * "Nonetheless, only the pilots considered the most skilled could pull it off." - Very awkward wording.
 * The "consisted of flying" sentence should be rewritten like so: "To perform the maneuver, a pilot would fly very low over concentrated ground enemies while simultaneously performing a barrel roll."
 * Rather than saying "Renard" in the last sentence, you should refer to him as "Curl". It's more encyclopedic that way.

Make those corrections and I'll have a few other people check over the article. Then we can remove the tags if that group is satisfied. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:00, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

PotE?
Do you think the Picture of the Week section should be changed to Picture of the Edition, as the issue takes 2-3 weeks for creation? Also, would be a good image for the title? Brandon said it's your decision.--<font color=#B22222>Arav <font color=#801818>(<font color=#013220>Ancient Grove ) <font color=#801818>(<font color=#013220>Lost Archives ) 04:26, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Release
"Sorry, no time right now, but thanks anyway."

- You

Just so you know, I wasn't asking you to do it now. Whenever you have time, the email would be appreciated. Considering I came aboard to increase the quality of the newsletter, I wanted to make sure everything has been given a proper read through and edit before it's released. I don't want to be surprised by seeing your stuff released without it being looked over or anything. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 19:00, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

CUSWFN Help?
Hey mate, I was curious if there was anything I could do to help out here for CUSWFN, I need to do something ;) Drop me a line, and I will take care of it, just, not delivery, I hated doing that, with passion! I wished I had a bot at the time to do it ;) Tader Talk 04:01, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

RE: NPOV
E-999 Anti-armor cannon
 * “It amounted to an enormous chaingun…” – “enormous” sounds POV-ish.
 * “and weighed so much that it was nearly impossible to hold without” – That sounds a bit POV-ish. You could probably change that to something along the lines of “…nearly impossible for a regular FIST operative to hold…”

Battle of Demos


 * Introduction
 * “Unfortunately for them, the planet…” – “unfortunately” sounds POV-ish.

Battle of Volgis


 * Opening moves
 * First paragraph – “Taung Intelligence soon discovered that the Srav were launching an enormous fleet…” – “enormous” sounds POV-ish


 * Landing
 * Second paragraph – “Artillery fire rained down on the Taung, but unfortunately for the Sravs,” – “unfortunately” sounds POV-ish

That’s it. - Nacen (Talk) 16:43, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

Request for Seership
Hey, I just wanted to make you aware that there's a new nomination for Seership here. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 19:23, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

RE:Cruentus
Alright, sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I was vacationing in the Poconos. Anyways, I may be over my head in this. I could do my best to try and get the mod done, but I honestly have made little progress, and I have AP and summer reading to do. We'll see where the mod goes, but I'm beginning to think I'm way in over my head. --JediCommando (Talk) 20:56, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Images
Hey Unit. I see that you're going and sourcing some unsourced images. When you do so, please italicize names of books, movies, TV shows, games, etc. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:57, 3 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Just wanted to remind you about this, because you're still not doing it. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:24, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

RE: Question
Well, I'm semi-active enough. :)

I suppose you want to discuss this over IRC? Darth Mavoc (Talk) 22:49, 5 July 2009 (UTC)

I'm heading to IRC now, then. Darth Mavoc (Talk) 23:12, 5 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Well if you are on, I suppose we can talk over IRC. Darth Mavoc (Talk) 22:39, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Cruentus
Hey Unit, is there any chance I could write a novel about the Taung-Srav campaigns in the Cruentusian War.
 * Yeah of course you can make the articles, and thank you for correcting me. I look forward to more of your comments on it and will fix the issues you corrected me on.

Re: IRC
I'm really busy right now. Sorry. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 19:07, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

Release
I got called into work today so I wasn't able to prep for release. It will be out tomorrow (Saturday). - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 02:50, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

RE:Jervosa
The second one is closer to how I imagine her. - Joe   (talk) 04:36, 18 July 2009 (UTC)
 * No, I don't mind. - Joe   (talk) 22:31, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

CUSWFN
Unit, typing this on Blackberry. Internet died when formatting CUSWFN. All is done. Will release tomorrow afternoon. Very sorry. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 05:39, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

CUSWFN – Edition 24
Thank you for your continued commitment to the Completely Unofficial Star Wars Fanon Newsletter! Without you, this edition, albeit somewhat late due to real life matters taking priority for both Unit 8311 and Brandon Rhea, would not have been possible. We hope you enjoy it just as much as we do!

CUSWFN interview
Hey Unit. One thing that I'm having an issue with in the fanon updates section is deciding what to say about the ASWS, since I don't want to go overboard, but at the same time I don't want to hold back. One thing that makes it easy to write about other series and novels is that I'm restricted by what I ask in interviews. Do you think you could come up with some interview questions for the ASWS (about TCO, TAA, Dreams of My Father's, and anything else you want to ask) and ask me them? I'd take the answers and compile them into the article as per usual, but I just need someone to come up with and ask me questions. Thanks. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 02:28, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, I'm going to be putting together interview questions for you and Dogs of War. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 02:29, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

IRC. The best way to conduct an interview is not only asking your pre-established questions, but also asking follow up questions if you see me say something you want more information on. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:10, 22 July 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm online now. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 20:26, 22 July 2009 (UTC)

Italics
I feel like I'm starting to sound like a broken record, but please italicize names of video games, films, etc. in images. I shouldn't have to keep telling you this. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 22:31, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Problem
I'd really rather not, because you never finished the process by having it checked by a third person. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 15:58, 28 July 2009 (UTC)


 * It doesn't matter if Vic gave his approval. You need the approval of two other users. You never followed through on that. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:04, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

From the FAQ: Unfortunately, per the original community consensus that started the mass deletion, administrators will not restore your articles, even if it is requested. I'm not going to be restoring articles for any reason, because if I restore an article for one person then that's not fair to anyone else. If you want the article back, you need to recreate it yourself. Sorry. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:23, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: Email
I don't see anything. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:09, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Never mind, just came through. Also, like I said before that interview, you were just going to interview me. I was going to take the information and write it into an article. I just needed to restrict myself so I didn't go overboard out of bias. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:11, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

I saved the interview myself. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:15, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * There hasn't been a delay. There's still five days until the one month mark. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 17:07, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Release
It's going to be done by tomorrow, which is only two days past a month. You really need to chill out over release dates. No one is waiting on bated breath for CUSWFN. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:06, 21 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The previous complaints over release dates was when there were no established release dates. You and Drewton released the newsletter at random, giving no indication as to when it would be released. We are now on a monthly schedule, and give or take a day or two isn't going to hurt anyone or get anyone riled up. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:09, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

CUSWFN
Just so you're aware, due to some computer problems that prevented me from accessing my CUSWFN files, I've had to push the release back to later today, August 24th. Don't worry, no one cares. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 05:32, 24 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The third page of the file you sent me, the page with the GA review, is completely corrupted. It's a bunch of like Wingding symbols. Could you send me the file again? Once I get home tomorrow afternoon (will be awayish for a lot of the afternoon), I'll get that and everything of mine, which is finished, up and released. Thanks! - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 04:57, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, but it happened again. Something's happening to it when it's passing through cyberspace. Could you put the GA review into a file by itself and then send that? That'll probably work. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 16:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Just so you know, computer issues suck, but I'm having the issue looked at and I'm hoping it can be fixed by today so I can release this. Your stuff has been proofread and it's great, and all my stuff is written and proofread as well. We're 99% set to release, with that last 1% being that the computer issue is preventing us from release. Luckily people have been understanding about that, but I feel bad since delays are one of the reasons I became a CUSWFN editor. I hope you can understand that all of this, the unforeseen business that lasted a day or two and the constant computer issues, have been beyond my control. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:48, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Advice
My two cents would be to have the development purely about the development of the overall project. Most of your detail would be about the development of the project in regards to all of the articles on SWF with a brief mentioning of how you began to develop novels and stuff. Then in a novel section, you'd expand the detail. I also strongly suggest using only sourced material in an article like this. Considering how much has been said about the project on SWF, I'm sure that's possible. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 21:56, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

CUSWFN release stuff
Just so you know, after consulting with a few other people on IRC this evening, I figured it'd be best to hold off on the CUSWFN release until later today (Sunday). Right after I leave this message, I'll be archiving the FanonProject proposal, meaning that it's now active. I'll also be beginning the write up for the project I'll be starting. We thought it'd be best to include information on FanonProject, including Cruentus and the project I'm starting, as a big promotional boost for the entire thing. It makes no sense to include it in next month's newsletter. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 05:25, September 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Also, Forum:Project Cruentus is now, per the proposal, Star Wars Fanon:FanonProject/Project Cruentus. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Rebel symbol Blue.png <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 05:32, September 7, 2009 (UTC)
