Talk: BabylonAS

Welcome, BabylonAS!

Hello, BabylonAS, and welcome to Wookieepedia! We hope you like the place and choose to join us in building the best Star Wars encyclopedia there is. Here are some things you should know: Wookieepedia is the Star Wars encyclopedia that anyone can edit, but we are not a general Star Wars forum nor an all-inclusive trivia site. In-universe articles are written in past tense and from a neutral point of view. Our Manual of Style and Layout Guide form the basis for writing on Wookieepedia. All additions to Wookieepedia must be sourced and attributed to a reliable, official source. Fan fiction is welcome on the Star Wars Fanon Wiki. As a registered Wookieepedia user, you are entitled to a user page and a unique signature. Eventually you will also gain the right to vote on community matters. Remember to be nice to your fellow Wookieepedians. Avoid making personal attacks and engaging in edit wars. Using multiple accounts is not allowed. Talk pages and forums are part of the public record and comments on them, including your own user talk page, should be left intact. Remember to sign your comments by typing four tildes, like this: ~~~~ New to wikis? Don't worry, we were all new once. Our welcome page has everything you need to get started, and the Jundland Wastes sandbox can be used for test edits. Don't be afraid to make mistakes—be bold! I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wookieepedian! If you have any questions, you can consult our FAQ, ask a question in the Senate Hall forum, visit our official IRC and Discord channels, or leave me a message on my talk page. May the Force be with you! —OOM 224 13:22, 27 November 2021 (UTC)

The Written Word

• I do fortunately have a copy for my own reference. However, unless things have changed in my frequent absences lately, it's discouraged, if not outright against the rules, to share files of, or links to, unauthorized copies of copyrighted materials here. That said, searching for my name and "The Written Word" on sites like Google or Facebook will likely turn something up with a little digging. jSarek (talk) 06:22, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
  • So you’re not the copyright holder? That’s quite sad. — BabylonAS 06:32, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
    • No, I am not. All Star Wars materials, and indeed all materials for most big media franchises, are created on a strictly work-for-hire basis; parent corporations (in this case, Lucasfilm Ltd.) retain all copyrights. And, to a certain extent, that's the only thing that makes works like The Written Word possible; I can't imagine how that article could have existed if, for example, Stephen Crane had withheld copyright permission to include Aurebesh, or Eric S. Trautmann had required a licensing fee to use Milanda Vorgan... jSarek (talk) 03:40, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
      • Fair. Did you ever ask Lucasfilm to re-release the article? — BabylonAS 08:34, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
        • No. Not for lack of desire to see it re-released, but because I knew ultimately that decisions like that are made based on big business math, and my voice was unlikely to change that. jSarek (talk) 06:00, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
          • Still, I think contacting them to make all old Hyperspace stuff available for all to read and view is worth a try. — BabylonAS 06:06, 26 June 2024 (UTC)
