Thunder
Thanks for stealing my thunder. -_- I was about to tell Weirdo that. Anyway, sharp skin.- I'm the Chosen One So the Prophecy says... 17:05, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Required?!
If it's fanon, future, present, or past tense should NOT be required. Now I can understand if it was canon, but fanon should have whatever time and whatever place if it at least involves Star Wars. The Thing Standing Between You and Wikia (Talk) 17:18, October 2, 2010 (UTC)

Writing a present/future story in past tense wouldn't make sense. The reader would read what date it is seeing it's in the future. But if it's written in past tense the reader will get confused, and stop reading. You see how bad it is to right everything in past tense.

Account
Greetings Rhea, I am user Senator Ty Vys (formaly CC-1575 but my account was deleted by Star Wars Fanon Wiki). Can you help me transfer the pages I've created on User:CC-1575 to User: Senator Ty Vys? I waould really appreciate it. -User:Senator Ty Vys

Wording adjustment
On this subpage, I suggest a wording adjustment in section "Great, I am a Fanoneer! now what?", sentence "Then, once Fanoneers like you". That could be construed the wrong way, so it would probably be best to adjust that part of the sentence. Just a thought.-19:12, October 4, 2010 (UTC)

Featured Article Reviews
Hi, how long does it usually take for a featured article to be reviewed by all (or more than 2) of the CS members, Dax Olesa (i know your thinking here we go again) has been on the review board for a while, and i did everything that i could that was suggested (or at least i think i did) but there hasn't been any follow up since september 8.-- (Have something to say?) 00:10, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Music?
Hey Brandon,

I was writing an article about a musical group and I wanted to include a clip like those on Wikipedia. Can this be done? It is my own music, so I would not be needing any permission for it.

Thanks --Sebolto (Talk) 01:04, October 10, 2010 (UTC)

Blocking
Can you block User Piccolo The Super Namek, because he used my sign and he edit the userpage from Sansse - he removed everything. Thanks :) He's on Community Central--Station7 (Talk) 16:57, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

No Brandon, I mean here. But you're an Administrator on Community Central aren't you? Or can't you block him there. Or should I use Special:Contact?--Station7 (Talk) 17:07, October 14, 2010 (UTC)

Imaging
How and when would I be able to upload images to my created articles?

Thanks Singhsational (Talk) 01:42, October 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Goodwood has tried to help me with this problemby telling me where to go. There has been no success as when I goto upload an image I am given a Permission error, he has also asked me to check my email to see if I activated my account which I had done.

Apparantly Im should of been added to the "autoconfirmed" group but when I attempt to upload an image it states that I am not.

Could you please get back to me on this, thank you.

Categorizing a Page
Hi, I saw the Individuals by Planet page and tried to add my own (Charmathians) but i couldnt figure out how to do it. I tried renaming the page but it wouldnt let me move it in to a cetegory namespace. I also categorized it Individuals by Planet but it came up in the bottom as a page in the category and not as a subcategory. Please help. While im asking things already i know this isnt relevant but, is anyone alowed to write a review on the review page of a nominated article? or only CS members, after all the page is called "CS: ". Thanks.-- (Have something to say?) 02:59, October 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * i want 2 no if i can put in my own review on the CS page, its called the CS page so i would think not, but i was just wondering.--[[image:Sw9889.jpg|100px]] (Have something to say?) 00:03, October 18, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Accounts
I will just use Pokakaa. --Pokakaa (Talk) 18:11, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Account status/imaging
Me again, don't mean to be pushy or anything, but I have been told that my account should of auto-confirmed when I verified my email address, however I am not able to upload any images since I come up with an error stating that I do not have the permissions and must join the auto-confirmed group.

I am not sure what to do, or what the problem as :(

RE: Image policy
Hello, Brandon. All is well for me, and I hope it is for you, as well. I understand entirely what you mean with the image policy. I agree, our hearts were in the right place, but the execution could use refinement. I like what you've done, and it is much simpler to understand right now. I also think that pulling the grittier information out and putting it (essentially) into a tutorial page is good wisdom for new users.

My only suggestion, however, is that it is made very clear in the policy that image use must fall under fair use. Now, we don't have to use that term, as it is a legal term, but that must be conveyed. There must be a tepid way to approach this, as we need to be forthright in a manner that protects SWF. Linking to the terms of use is a great idea, and perhaps taking a snippet or comment from there might be appropriate. Something from CGSociety, Worth1000, or DeviantArt would undoubtedly be forked if something is not put in there mentioning this to at least some extent. As far as the reducing of legalese and detailed information, this is my biggest concern. Since not all images from IMDB, for example, are available to us under fair use, as well, maybe some type of clarification is in order. Perhaps something showing that we must either validate permission from the creator of the work, or one must be able to verify that it came from something that is not a copyrighted image like something in a newspaper, magazine, or something that a paparazzi would take. Sadly, this is difficult to state in plain language, but that's my only concern. I just want to make sure SWF is protected.

Perhaps the best way to approach this would be to put something in the violations section that highlights that images taken exactly from a source must have copyright information provided unless it is a screenshot, promotional image, etc. Then again, the beauty of a wiki (and one that has active admins) is that a violating image can be handled swiftly. Perhaps we should just trust the RC patrolling. I'll leave that to your discretion, but I'm inclined to have at least one sentence in there about copyright law, even if it is simplified or generalized and linked to a full-blown policy.

Have a great day, and (as you have all along) keep up the good work. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 22:25, October 17, 2010 (UTC)

Oh my head...
Hey Brandon. I am not going to be getting on today on the Star Wars RP site. I'm sick with a sore throat and a headache. This is the first sickness I have had in years. So please communicate that I will not be on all day to Sreeya. I might not even get on tomorrow. - Lemon slice

What the heck happened?
What the heck happened on the Star Wars RP site? I just checked and it said I am banned for a day for attacking Keinushi in her character thread. When I have I done that? I looked back and there is no point in which I attacked her. Why am I banned for a day she called me a piece of silt... Is this because I used caps instead of bold at times?
