Image Policy
Please be sure to read our image policy, as I've seen that you have uploaded a picture without following it. Failure to do so will result in your picture being deleted, failure to do so again will result in a one day ban.-- Nightmare 975 20:13, 17 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Because you didn't source your images in accordance with Nightmare's above notice, anything you've uploaded has been deleted. Please be aware that, in accordance with the image policy, if you fail to source your images again you will be subject to a short block from editing. Let me know if you have any question. Thank you for your future cooperation. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 01:00, 21 March 2009 (UTC)

No, I mean completely sourcing them using the Information template. The image policy covers all of this and you need to read it. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 16:08, 21 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Can you please provide the URL address of the site where you found Image:Galdon.gif at? --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 18:51, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Then I'm going to have to delete it. You now have 24 hours to find its source. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 23:43, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

Block
You have been blocked from editing for twenty-four hours (one day) for failing to follow the image policy by uploading unsourced images to Star Wars Fanon, despite a previous warning. The image in question was your Jaina Solo image uploaded today, April 6th. The image has also been deleted. When you return from your block, please ensure that you've read and are familiar with our image policy so this does not happen in the future. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thank you for your future cooperation. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 17:41, 6 April 2009 (UTC)

Sourcing
Please stop sourcing images with Star Wars Fan Stories. That source doesn't exist. Please list the original source of the images or they'll be deleted. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 13:16, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

 * 1) Im not doing that, someone else is.
 * 2) *I don't get it. What do you mean?
 * 3) I TRIED to follow the Image policy, but Brandon says im not.
 * 4) *Firstly, you're still not sourcing them right. You're saying that Star Wars Fan Stories is a source while it doesn't exist. Secondly, if Brandon says you're doing it wrong, then you're most likely doing it wrong.
 * 5) Thats not really bad news for me, thanks to my little secret.
 * 6) *Would you like to share that secret? I don't like what you're implying; do you have a way to evade blocks or something?
 * What is Star Wars Fan Stories then? Please tell me your secret. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 19:19, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Can you please provide the names of those accounts? --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 19:24, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * What are their names? --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 19:26, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Please also be aware that, in accordance with our sockpuppet policy, you will not be able to cast any vote anywhere on Star Wars Fanon until July 7, 2009 (three months), even if you meet the requirements of the voting policy. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 19:47, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Re: Hear me out
That's all well and good, but we still don't allow more than one account on this wiki. Had you not said anything we wouldn't have known, but you decided to threaten to ignore our policies and evade blocks by saying that if you're banned you'll just use a sockpuppet. We had to take action and follow our sockpuppet policy because of it. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 00:36, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, and I'm sorry if this sounds rude, but that's your problem. You should have known what it was. As soon as you started editing, someone put a big welcome template on your talk page (you can see it at the top there). It very clearly says that you needed to read our policies before making any further edits. If you didn't heed that advice and continued to edit without knowing our rules, then when you violate the rules you can't use "I didn't know" as an excuse. We did our job in telling you to read them. You didn't do your job when you decided not to read them. - Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 00:44, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Michael was the blocking administrator. He'll tell you the same thing I'm telling you. All of this is directly routed in policies, so it's not an unjustified block. It's not like I'm making this stuff up here. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 00:51, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * You must certainly did put it there as the source, so don't lie and say you didn't. I can see the file history, even on deleted histories. The file histories were also public before the images were deleted. The problem was that "Star Wars Fan Stories" doesn't exist, so you were putting a false source down which is illegal. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 01:06, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm having a hard time believing that. If that's true, why didn't you just tell Michael that instead of saying you had a "little secret" (aka, more than one account) to evade blocks? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 01:10, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Would you provide me a link to this website? I'm asking only because it'll help me believe you, which right now I'm having trouble doing. If you're telling the truth, just realize it won't change anything though. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 01:14, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Well now I know you’re not telling me the truth about seeing “Star Wars Fan Stories” as the source on those websites. The image of Jaina Solo,, is from . The Bianca image also would have come from Starfox, so why would you put down a false source like “Star Wars Fan Stories” knowing full well that it’s a Starfox image? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 01:34, 15 April 2009 (UTC)


 * ...unless what? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 02:22, 15 April 2009 (UTC)

Telling me "one of two things" means absolutely nothing. What are those "two things"? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 19:41, 16 April 2009 (UTC)


 * Well, I checked the file history on the Wookieepedia image, for example, and it has never said "Star Wars Fan Stories". I also doubt that someone hacked your account. I think you put it there and now you're trying to make excuses, like the usual "oh no I think my brother logged onto my account" excuse that people use every day on so many different boards. You don't even need to make excuses. The point is, just don't do it again. I'm now done with this conversation. Thank you. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 23:53, 16 April 2009 (UTC)

Third block
You have once again been blocked from editing for not following the image policy. This block will last for seven days (one week). Your images have also been deleted. Quite frankly, I'm getting sick and tired of your excuses, so I don't want to hear them anymore. "The wiki I found it on didn't have a source" is not an excuse. If you don't know the source, you cannot upload the image. Let me make this perfectly clear:

Under NO circumstances can you upload an image without a source or a licensing template.

I don't want to have to tell you this again. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 20:41, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Categorization
Per our SWF Categorization policy, "every article must have at lease one category." I've categorization Exu Fichina for you, but I will not do so again. Also, please be aware that per our Manual of Style policy, you must bold the first time the subject of the article is mentioned. I've done this for you on Exu Fichina.

RE: I'm Back
You could start by not doing any of those "old tricks". Also, these things take time. Trust will come in time; don't expect instantaneous forgiveness. You may also want to add categories to your William Grey article. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 19:53, 5 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Per Michael. The only advice I could really give you is not to do what you did before. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 22:05, 5 May 2009 (UTC)

The key to sourcing images is....sourcing them. I don't understand why it took you so long to discover it considering we were basically screaming it at you. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 19:14, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * That page that you just mentioned is linked to and stated directly in the image policy. You should have known about that when we told you to read the policy a month and a half ago. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 20:48, 7 May 2009 (UTC)


 * I think the point here is that new users don't really read the image policy. -- Joe Butler   (Talk to me) 19:46, 14 May 2009 (UTC)

RE: News
I think that you got Brandon all wrong. Unless you're joking with him, Brandon would most likely take your declaration of suicide seriously. If you don't like talking to Brandon, you can speak to another administrator or to me. The good thing about having many administrators is that you have a variety of people to ask help from; Brandon isn't the only one. Do you need any help? --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 00:21, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
 * He's just doing his job. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 00:24, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

I find this idea that I would tell you to go kill yourself to be offense, so please get over yourself. I take what you say as an excuse because of your track record here. You have constantly given me reasons to try to excuse your policy violations, but they’re not legitimate excuses. If you want me to believe what you say then you’re going to have to prove to me that you’re actually going to follow our guidelines. If you prove that to me, then of course I’ll believe what you say. If you continue to make excuses and continue to violate our policies, then I have no reason to believe anything you say. You can’t blame me for not taking you at your word considering my experience with having to deal with you. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 00:41, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Why would it matter how many wikis allow sourcing or not? Star Wars Fanon is not like other wikis. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 19:02, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

If it's only one of two wikis that requires this, which I highly doubt, then the others are doing it wrong. We're following copyright law by requiring proper attribution. If those other wikis don't want to do it then that's their problem. As Michael just said, what other wikis do with themselves is of no concern to us. And saying I would "probably" tell you to kill yourself "if" you said you were going to doesn't exactly make what you said unoffensive. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 19:03, 11 May 2009 (UTC)


 * What wasn't very nice? If you're talking about what happened to your message, I didn't remove it. That would be against our archival policy. I simply moved it to a new section at the bottom of my talk page, since it's now part of a new conversation rather than the old one found in "I'm Back". Also, please stop forgetting to sign your messages. You can do it by typing ~ after your message. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 19:25, 11 May 2009 (UTC)
