Featured Works Vote
I voted on Rakata. Sorry for the lack of activity. I have a temporary job at a Halloween store, which is naturally very busy right now so many hours. Plus, on top of the possibility of the move I mentioned before, I'm trying to find work to support myself and my husband in the event he does not get the position as he'll be temporarily unemployed very soon. -- Kathkira talk  18:50, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for your feedback on my two stories. I valued it greatly and will try to take on board what you have said. I look forward to reading any of your material in the future, as it is (almost without exception) of an excellent standard. Thanks again. --Thenorthernman (Talk) 20:31, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

Hey ataru. Sorry to bug you with an irrelevant swfanon issue but someone has been impersonating me and got me banned form Wookieepedia. Is there a way to check who or what IP someone was using?

If you don't want UOTM, please specifically say you want the nomination pulled. As it stands, all nominations carry over and aren't wiped clean at the end of the month.

Re: Archivists
I was just going to mention that there has been little to no activity on any awards page. Even the nominations for the Wiki Awards has been slow.

MOS
Since you and the current MOS aren't exactly the best of friends, I was wondering if you'd have any input on my MOS rewrite.

Question
At this moment, I've come to the realization that my Featured Work nomination, Failure at Cerea is not worthy of the title. But before I jump the gun, I ask that you take a look at it and tell me what you think. I'll be honest right now and say that if anything, I plan to split the intro (and conclusion) from the main story and perhaps form that into it's own story. But please tell me any that can help further my career as a writer.-- Josh Bender Talk 23:02, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll take a look at it; not immediately, but I'll make sure that I read it over soon. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 23:24, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * The story is . . . okay. The individual segments are pretty good, but they don't connect well at all. Theta's character is kind of hard for the reader to grasp, especially the part where he suddenly confesses to Lasina his entire life story. It's very abrupt. The emotional context doesn't fit well at that point. It also needs a thorough proofreading to make it better. Might be a good idea to move some of that dialogue into separate paragraphs as well. Last thing I'd say is describe your characters and the setting a little better. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 19:14, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * I scrapped the intro and conclusion and plan to only write it in Siena's point of view, which was the original aim of the story. As much as I liked the intro and conclusion bits between Lasina and Theta, I found their parts to drive away from the main point of the story, which is Siena and Helms and their failed mission.-- Josh Bender Talk 07:06, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

Review
Ataru, thanks for the review. To answer an implied question: Yes, Delwynn was intended to have some parallels to a particular character from a TV show. That said, I only tried to use that as a starting point to get the character going. I make mention of some BTS remarks here about that. As the second installment continues, I plan to develop Shalli and Danstari a lot, as they will be central to how this unfolds. In fact, Shalli's interactions with Delwynn play an important part in how the Jedi respond to the situation. Anyway, thank you for the review. I plan to go back through the story later, once I've been away from it for a touch and fix any remaining errors. In fact, I've already noticed two in the third part already. Thanks, Ataru. &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 14:16, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Dramatis personae
Just FYI, that dramatis personae clause in the MOS refers to the dramatis personae section in the App template. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 05:18, January 27, 2010 (UTC)
 * I've read the applicable section of the MOS multiple times and I fail to see where it is explicitly stated that the DP section refers to that template. Your interpretation may say that, but there is no specific restriction regarding DP sections necessitating that template. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 05:23, January 27, 2010 (UTC)

 * I just noticed the stuff on your scratchpad (after Solus pointed it out). Thanks for that. Most of it you're pretty right on the money, but there is one that I wanted to explain: the going with Sarus a bit too easily part. It may seem like that on the outset, but if you really look at it then they all have concrete reasons for it. Annikin is obvious, since he's not totally resistant to Sarus at this point and he basically goes out of desperation (which he realizes in, I think, the next chapter and wonders whether he made a mistake). Obi-Wan is going because he believes nothing happens by accident, and he's also trying to protect Annikin per what he said to Cliegg and Shmi before they left. Dooku is going because he's an arrogant douche (XD) and Obi-Wan challenged his pride. Those are the easiest to rationalize. The harder one is Arcadia, who goes out of sheer curiosity, but I think that works for her character. Logan is going because obviously he's not going to let the queen go off by herself, even if she is with Jedi. Finally, Binks, being the odd man out, isn't going to stay at the homestead by himself, especially since he was confronted with Owen's racism/outsider resistance. So yeah, I just wanted to explain that part. Thanks for the rest of those, I'll get on them soon. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea Alliance Starbird.svg <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 15:34, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

Oh, and I also forgot to mention about your Windy/Mundi issue, I think you may have misread that. Mace became a council member when he was 28, which made him one of the youngest then (he's not 28 in TCO), and Mundi is a Council member despite being a Jedi Knight, just like in The Phantom Menace. This makes him a senior Jedi just by virtue of status alone. - <font color="#1A2BBB">Brandon Rhea  <font color="#1A2BBB">(talk) 18:26, February 2, 2010 (UTC)

J7-A0
I was wondering if I might create a picture of the aforementioned droid if/when you create his article? I love this character, but I'm having difficulty visualizing it. It always end up looking like a 2J-TJ personal navigator droid from the waist up and a WA-7 waitress droid from the waist down (you can look those up on wookieepedia). Perhaps you could create an article with a physical description of him, and I could go from there? Unless, of course, you would rather do it yourself.Gnost-Dural (Talk) 16:49, July 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Hey, good question, and it's one that I've never really addressed in the fiction since I've had difficulty finding an image of J7 to use. I've always thought of J7-A0 as the body of a 2JTJ but with the head of a GH-7 medical droid, if that helps. The designation comes from the J of the 2JTJ, added to the 7 of the medical droid. The A0 indicates that it's the first one of that line. If you can make a picture like that which looks pretty good, (maybe a Photoshop job of the two NEGTD images) I'll use it when I get around to making his Essential Guide to Force Exile entry, but don't worry about it otherwise. Hope that answer helps and I'm glad you enjoy the character.  Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 17:42, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

Makashi-class freighter- Render settings?
I'm curious, what were the render settings, or even the renderer iteslf, used on that image? I really like the plastic look it has and the lighting is really well-done.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 04:49, December 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, thanks for the compliments on the frigate. Truth is, the renderer (and the settings) are nothing special. SolidWorks has a simplistic rendering add-on called PhotoView 360 that will let me texture and render the model much better than SolidWorks itself can. The lighting is just a sky environment that came with the program (though you can use your own images and set up your own lights, I'm not that sophisticated) and the rendering settings range from "Preview Quality" to "Best" so not a very descriptive set of details I'm afraid. I just moved it around until it looked cool. For the final render, I of course used "Best" on the rendering settings. Sorry if that's not very helpful; I'm not the most artistic.

Hello, Ataru. I hope you are having a pleasant day, today. I received your message today (life has been so incredibly hectic that I've not edited virtually anywhere for nearly two months). I'll give your proposal serious consideration, in fact. I plan to do some revision work to fix up the follies and smooth over a couple of things in the storyline that might be viewed as in conflict with the second installment (pre-released today!).

Re: Freedom
I'm flattered you think "Freedom" is good enough for Featured Work status. To tell you the truth, I originally just posted the story itself; another Archivist or Administrator must have noticed the fact that there was no title page and created one for me, and then redirected the text of the story to its current location. I'm certainly willing to take a whack at tuning the title page up to standards; I'd be grateful if you could point me toward a template.

 * Solus, let's get one thing straight: no guilt. Don't feel guilty or burdened about that. Not even a little bit. Nope. There is nothing to feel guilty about. The story passed, we're still on schedule for FWs, you have nothing to worry about. And as far as "letting me down again" goes, consider any record you might have been keeping of such events (afaik, none) expunged. Completely.

If you have thoughts or comments on the story, we could set up a time to meet in IRC or you could post them here, but there's no pressure to do so. I'd love to get more feedback on it, but that would be completely at your discretion. Atarumaster88  ( Talk page ) 17:05, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Jedi Temple bombing
The duo and the bullying is from personal experience. Apparently, me and my at-the-time girlfriend had to be one of the cool kids just to walk by without being tripped, thrown down on the ground, kicked and insulted for no reason.

 * Sure, of course. If the story is just named Smuggler, simply take that redirect and use it for your story. Just make sure to leave a youmay pointing to Force Exile II: Smuggler on your page. If your story is named something else that includes "Smuggler" in it, for example, "Smuggler: The Tale of Darth Cookies", then turn Smuggler into a disambiguation page and point it to both your and my works. Let me know if that explanation wasn't clear or if you need help setting that up. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 04:57, June 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Great, thanks. It might be a few days before I can actually make the page due to vacation, but it should be up within the next week.  I'll make sure to follow the formatting you described.  Thanks again -- SavageOpress1138  Help you I can, yes  14:12, June 23, 2011 (UTC)

Emails
Did you get my emails? I think my email thingy might be acting wonky and I wanted to make sure it didn't eat them. :p - Solus Talk to the Hand  23:17, July 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello! Hey, I was just wondering if you'd be on IRC anytime tonight, like, after midnight-ish or something. If not, that's cool. If you can't make it, we can set up another time to meet some other day. :) - Solus Talk to the Hand  00:52, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Midnight EST isn't going to work for me, I'm afraid. If you're set on that time, Friday would be the earliest I could be on IRC at that time. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 02:19, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sure! Around what times on Friday? - Solus Talk to the Hand  22:26, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Any time after say, 2000 EST would be convenient. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 22:34, July 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Okay. :) - Solus Talk to the Hand  00:54, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Yanibar Tales
First, I want to say that you are a very talented author. You really must look into getting your works published. Secondly, I just finished reading Hand in Hand. I was intrigued when it was mentioned that they faced Asajj Ventress before that instance with help from, of all things, a pair of droidekas. I was looking through the rest of the series, and, supposing they are in chronological order, there is nothing before Hand in Hand that takes place on Emberlene. If you wrote this story, could you please direct me to it? And if you didn't write it, I would love it if you would. Talent like yours should be used fully.Gnost-Dural | Hands off the holocrons, THEY'RE MINE!! 12:11, July 7, 2011 (UTC) PS: J7-AO looks good. Did you make this picture or is it a picture of another droid?Gnost-Dural | Hands off the holocrons, THEY'RE MINE!! 12:29, July 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hello there! Thanks for your readership and your compliments. :) Yanibar Tales is a spinoff of the greater Force Exile Saga and so it weaves in some elements from the main novels as well. In this case, I believe the work you're looking for is Force Exile II: Smuggler. Also, thanks again for your suggestions/comments regarding J7-A0 earlier, those helped spark my inspiration to get him fully depicted. Cheers.

 * Any time.

RE:Apology
I logged on to apologize to you myself for my defensive manner and arrogance. I can, however, understand your reaction. It's a personal thing of mine. I work my hardest and best when put under tight deadlines, like a three year period. While I understand that this is extremely unrealistic, as in all likelihood I won't be finished writing the second book by then, such an extreme deadline allows me to work better than if I gave myself 15 years or more. The point of the matter is, I like to procrastinate, and procrastinating won't help me write fanon. Hope that clears things up for you.  Seb  olto  15:51, July 9, 2011 (UTC)

IRC-ness
Hey, I was just wondering if there was any time you might be on IRC in the next few days. :) - Solus Talk to the Hand  04:55, July 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Quite possible I'll be online in a few hours. Atarumaster88  Jedi_Order.svg ( Talk page ) 18:03, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

RE: FE cover
Thank you! I didn't know where some of the images were from, so I wasn't able to do it. Thank you! - Solus Talk to the Hand  03:01, August 8, 2011 (UTC)
