Category
My Darth Desolation is not listed in the Sith Lords category, even though I have put the category in the article. Why not? Can you help me?Mattkenn3 (Talk) 00:58, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It's there, on Page 2. Very strange indeed; not even in alphabetical order. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 01:33, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I see. Weird. Oh well, thanksMattkenn3 (Talk) 01:44, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletions
Thanks; I though it would've taken longer too. Good job with the deletions. It wouldn't have taken forever without the work of Darth tom and yourself. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 01:39, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Woops. We could deal with that. -- Michaeldsuarez [[Image:Sabersmilygreend.jpg|20px]] ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 12:41, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

No Edit?
Hi everyone,

We will be setting all of Wikia to "read-only" mode for about an hour starting at 09:00 UTC (2:00 AM PDT) on Tuesday morning so that we can move the master database to another server. During this time, wikis will still be accessible, but editing will be disabled. We are sorry for the inconvenience, but this maintenance is necessary to ensure the best possible performance and reliability.

Thanks, The Wikia Community Team

I'm guessing this is happening here too. Am I right?Mattkenn3 (Talk) 22:24, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yeah, but it will only be from 5-6 EST a.m., which I'm guessing is the time zone you're in, so you probably don't have to worry about it. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:26, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

I'm actually central.Mattkenn3 (Talk) 22:46, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * It will still only be 4-5 a.m. your time, then. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 22:47, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

lolcatz
Great image. My only recommendation is reducing the size here on your talk page. --Victor talk 00:50, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * lol, thanks. Also, I appear to have stumbled upon the most hilarious thing ever on Wikipedia. "David Crystal—likening the introduction of LOL, ROFL, and others into spoken language in magnitude to the revolution of Johannes Gutenberg's invention of movable type in the 15th century—states that this is "a brand new variety of language evolving", invented by young people within five years, that "extend[s] the range of the language, the expressiveness [and] the richness of the language"."

Email
Just a friendly question: Why dont you have a email. Most admins do. I want to email you something for CUSWFN. I have given it to Tom and I think you should see it too. --Arav the Undersith (Contact Me ) (My contributions ) 06:14, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I do have E-mail, I just don't like to publicize it. However, you can create an article with whatever you'd want to send and I'll delete it so no one else sees it. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 12:34, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Capitalization
From the MOS: "When naming systems, users must be aware that the word system should remain in lower case while the word Sector when coupled with the name of a sector should be capitalized. For example, Corellian Sector and Corellian system."

- MOS

Wasn't a big deal, but just be sure to remember that in the future. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 15:40, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh. That should be changed, then, because it's not capitilized on Wookieepedia. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 15:44, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

Last I checked, we don't have to change things just because Wookieepedia does. - Brandon Rhea (talk) (contribs) 16:30, 23 September 2008 (UTC) Drewton, you might find Forum:CT Archive/Capitalizing "sector" interesting. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 17:00, 23 September 2008 (UTC) Go for it. -- Michaeldsuarez  ( Talk ) ( Deeds ) 17:16, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No, but we follow most of the same rules and try making our articles look like Wookieepedia's, only with fanon content. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 16:54, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * So the rule for capitilizing sectors was copied from Wookieepedia before that was done, then. I think I'll propose this. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 17:13, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'll try, but a member of my family is critically, and possibly terminally, ill at this moment. I won't find out until Thursday, so it's kinda not top of my priority list. Do you mind if I wait for a bit? I'm not really functioning as well as I should be with this turn of events. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] (talk) (contributions) 17:23, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry. I hope all goes well. I can do the whole edition for you if you want. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 17:27, 23 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. I'll try and add some, but I might not be able to. --[[Image:Darthtomsig.png|163px]] (talk) (contributions) 17:29, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

RE:Stormtrooper image
Okay, thanks. Looks like images out for everyone. Hopefully wikia will get with the programme and sort this out before long. Unit 8311 (Talk) 19:57, 23 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: Animation
I wouldn't be able to use blender to save my own skin. I just haven't taken the time to learn. Once I don't have access to Strata 3D anymore I will learn it, since it's free and I already have it downloaded (just don't use it) and such. But yes, it renders great images for being a free program. --Victor talk 22:48, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Heh, I couldn't either. I've had it for three years and haven't successfully completed a single tutorial for a head/face. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:28, 24 September 2008 (UTC)

Request for new era
Hi! My friends and I have made a new era and I would like it to become a fanon era.

Era Article: Death Watch Revival Series

I had previously sent this to Brandon Rhea, but he never responded. If he has already done this or if there is a problem, please let me know.

Thank You,-- Lord Bender Nightmare975  20:07, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. The code is .  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 20:55, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much!-- Lord Bender Nightmare975  00:10, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No problem. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 00:12, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

RE:Emails
I got an idea. I will make a page called User:Arav the Undersith/CUSWFN IRC chat lists. See there to find my work. Tom has it via email, and he says he will have to read it first before he makes the judgement to put it in the CUSWFN. --Arav the Undersith <font color=Blue>(<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 03:33, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * K, looks good. There's some good questions there about the administration and how the board will be running. If I have a say in whether it should be in CUSWFN I'd say yes. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 14:57, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I sincerely hope you saved the whole conversation somewhere. It took me ages to get rid of time stamps, add the hex code, enter each sentence and delete certain things. Please reopen the page. I have some things to do to it. Then when I say so, un-delete it. I'll ask Brandon. --<font color=#00416A>Arav the Undersith <font color=Blue>(<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 23:30, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, of course I did. I'll undelete it temporarily for you, or permanently if you want. I just thought you'd rather that no one saw it until it was published. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 01:04, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Just had to move it somewhere. Hey, cheak out this hex template on -that website.. --<font color=#00416A>Arav the Undersith <font color=Blue>(<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 03:39, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Deletion of old revisions
Can you please delete the old revisions of this file for me please? I hate having so many "revisions" of files but it just happens sometimes. Anyway please delete all the old versions, thank you. --Victor talk 05:32, 27 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 14:47, 27 September 2008 (UTC)

Many thanks! --Victor talk 05:42, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

Chapter Eighteen of The Chosen One is up, if you're still interested in reading it. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 04:09, 28 September 2008 (UTC) It's fine. Don't worry about it.

 * Thanks, I'm reading it now. Also, sorry once again that my review isn't done yet. I honestly haven't done it for a few weeks. I haven't even taken a picture for my photonovel since July. Maybe I should resign so I can finish it faster  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 14:17, 28 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Were you able to finish the chapter? If so, did you like it? - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 17:57, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

I liked it very much. It was amusing when Gunray tried turning the argument against Maul, when he had in fact helped prove his point. Your writing style has definitely improved, there are still some parts that are a bit too encyclopedic, which I've talked about in what I have of my review. I think you put too much information about things all at once, when it could be spread over the scene more. I know this is a different story, but I don't like the conflict you added to Mace Windu's character, and Jango never enjoyed killing or violence. I do like that you kept Mace more harsh from the other Jedi, though, and their conversation was great. I was also glad to see that there weren't any canon elements in this one; this is definitely one of the best chapters so far.

"See to them, you’re all Jedi. Your philosophies mean nothing."

- Jango

Great line. It reminds me of the Joker from TDK. Jango's philosophy of the Jedi was good to see...just don't go too KT. I've noticed also that Yoda didn't speak as much in reverse in TESB as he did in the PT, which resulted in usually sounding quite stupid. I would suggest adding a few normally-put-together lines for Yoda, though I guess that's just a personal preference of mine. Also, thanks for the mention of the Nockudumey. Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:41, 29 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn’t necessarily add conflict to Mace. I took something that had been established in canon about Vaapad and just made it more realistic and evident. The key word, though, is realistic. It’s clearly established that Vaapad is a form that requires a flow of both the light side and the dark side when used. It also forced a user to enjoy fighting in combat. According to Wookieepedia, “only Windu’s mastery and concentration of the light side prevented him from succumbing to his own anger”. I personally never liked that. I find it unrealistic and something that was written in just to explain away why Mace was not falling to the dark side. I’m certainly not saying that Mace Windy is going to be falling to the dark side, but the issues caused by Vaapad should, at times, be a bit more evident. One thing I’m confused about, though, is what you mean by Jango not liking violence or killing people. I don’t remember saying that.


 * The line about the Jedi was actually influenced by the Joker, at least the “See to them” part of it. I actually got the idea for that conversation from the interrogation scene in TDK, but that was the extent of borrowed lines from that movie. However, there is a nod to Casino Royale in the beginning of the interrogation, when Jango pretends he’s confused about the two names and Mace tells him that he wouldn’t want that. I don’t know if you saw the film, but in Casino Royale MI6 gives Bond an alias of “Arlington Beach”, though Bond sees no need for it so, despite the reservation in the hotel being under “Arlington Beach”, he introduces himself at the reception desk as James Bond. Later, when Bond meets Le Chiffre, who is the villain in the movie, Le Chiffre says “And you must be Mr. Beach, or is it Mr. Bond. I’m a little confused”. Bond sarcastically remarks, “Well we wouldn’t want that”. I don’t know what you mean about Jedi philosophies in the way of Karen Traviss, though, so you’ll have to explain that. I’ve never read her novels, but I do know the more major nonsense that she’s thought up.


 * It’s funny that you mention the backwards speaking thing, because that’s exactly what I was thinking when I wrote Yoda’s brief segment in this chapter. I actually did put a few partial lines in regular dialect because of the very same thought. For example, I said “your thoughts are not a mystery to me” rather than “a mystery to me, your thoughts are not” like Lucas probably would have said. I also said “do not hesitate to find me if necessary” rather than something like “if necessary, hesitate to find me do not”.


 * And your welcome for the mention of the NTs. If you want to talk about this more in depth on IRC or something, I'll be on for awhile. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 21:19, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Re:Episode 2
No, it's fine. I had been meaning to create those disambig pages anyway. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 16:17, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

Delete
Hey, can you delete Darth Talus for me?Mattkenn3 (Talk) 20:59, 29 September 2008 (UTC)

A question
I already posted this on the Nockudemey talk page, but I decided to ask you personally: out of curiousity, where did the name Nockudemey come from? It sounds somewhat Irish to me. Unit 8311 Talk!  15:32, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I forgot to reply. The name actually comes from a non-Star Wars story I wrote back in 2003. As far as I remember, it wasn't influenced by anything when I first chose the name. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:15, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Palpatine/Sidious
I have a bit of a problem with the combination of the Palpatine and Sidious disambiguation pages, and that's really only in terms of my Malus Palpatine and Darth Sidious articles. Basically, who's to say that my Palpatine and my Sidious will end up being the same person in the ASWS? There's nothing to confirm whether or not they are the same person. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 23:11, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Forgot about that. I'll revert my edits then. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 23:13, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

CUSWFNH template
I have added a template on Toms and your user page to show people that you are co-heads. If you don't like it, get rid of it. Thanks. --<font color=#00416A>Arav the Undersith <font color=Blue>(<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 09:44, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * It looks great. Thanks. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 12:14, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Overriding welcome
Looks like I accidentally overrode one of your welcomes again. Revert if you want. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) <font color="#1A2BBB">(contribs) 16:38, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * LOL, that's happened twice now  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 16:43, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Favour
I have an image favour to ask of you, Drewton. As the applications I currently have at my disposal are semi-useless crap, and you apparently have access to photoshop, I want to to take this image and add a couple of red stars to the satellite's solar panels. Could you do that? If you can't, then no biggie. Unit 8311 Talk!  17:24, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Here's the Stormtrooper image as well.

Drewton  ( Drewton's Holocron ) 18:30, 1 October 2008 (UTC) Unit 8311 Talk!  18:49, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I guess it's only fair that you should have a token of my appreciation.
 * Thanks  Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 20:04, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Some things to read, Drew
Please see here. I'm sorry for not notifying you first, but we've never managed to real conduct a meeting on the IRC or anything, and you haven't shared an email, I was unable to notify you prior to posting that forum. I'm sorry for not being able to and I hope you don't feel I'm betraying you or dropping all the weight on your shoulders. -- <font color="#000001">(talk) <font color="#000001">(contributions) 20:02, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. Don't worry about it, I was actually expecting this. Being an Administrator, CS, leader of Cruentus, and head of the CUSWFN is a lot of work. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 20:07, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Old revisions
Hey thanks for deleting the old revisions on Acheron's picture, but in the future, please refrain from doing so unless I ask. I usually compare the old/new revisions for my own sake, and I sometimes end up reverting back to older versions. When I'm sure I want the current revision of any image, I'll let you or another administrator know and then they can be deleted. Thanks. --Victor talk 21:39, 1 October 2008 (UTC)

Upload
Could you upload | this as something other than bmp? I would greatly appreciate it.Mattkenn3 (Talk) 00:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

Oh yes, Arav just reminded me of that. Congrats on getting the head position.Mattkenn3 (Talk) 01:59, 2 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Here's the pic. Thanks for congrajulating me, but I became head two months ago. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

CUSWFN

 * Need help on CUSWFN? I can add in the conversation to a area for you.? --<font color=#00416A>Arav the Undersith <font color=Blue>(<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 01:33, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I admit, I am a bit overwhelmed by work right now. Administration, CUSWFN, CS, The Drewton Legacy, the newly-announed Darth Haagen trilogy, my redone Star Wars saga, and, of course, school. Any help would be appreciated. You could do that and FA/GA Updates, if you like. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:17, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Where will I put it? --<font color=#00416A>Arav the Undersith <font color=Blue>(<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 02:20, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, its that easy. Cool. I will do it on word then where do I put the final result? --<font color=#00416A>Arav the Undersith <font color=Blue>(<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 02:23, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I'm not exactly sure where the interview would go, but it possibly should be in Template:CUSWFN/XIX/SWF News. FA/GA Updates should go in Template:CUSWFN/XVIX/FA/GA Updates. Here are the last edition's updates as an example. Thanks. Drewton  [[Image:Era-old.png|20px]] ( Drewton's Holocron ) 02:27, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
 * SWF news and the IRC conversations are 2 different things. The chat should be put in this link- Template:CUSWFN/XIX/IRC Conversations. With the FA/GA news, the last edition said this weeks featured article it Blah, well, I think there has been 3 FA after that. If you are releasing the CUSWFN after October 5th, that will be the Battle of Gand for the week's FA. (I say publish the CUSWFN between October 5th to 12th). If that's OK, I will make the Weeks FA "Battle Battle" of Gand and GA "Cilwelli (species)". So I am doing GA/FA updates and IRC Conversations. Anything else? --<font color=#00416A>Arav the Undersith  <font color=Blue>(<font color=#C3B091>Contact Me ) <font color=#00416A>(<font color=#C3B091>My contributions ) 02:39, 2 October 2008 (UTC)

CUSFWN help
Drew, I noticed that Arav was volunteering to assist you with CUSFWN. As I have my eye on a position of power with the newsletter now that tom's resigning, I was wondering if I could help set up the next issue (and this would help repay the favours you have done me). BTW, have you noticed that Vic and MPK are writing a TFU review for it? You think it should go alongside my CW review, or save it for next edition? Unit 8311 Talk!  14:45, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
