In relation to the banning of 86.151.74.54

I appreciate your efforts in the removal of this user, but I would appreciate it if you extended his ban to permanent. He came here specifically to bother me, and nothing else. If his ban expires at any point, then he'll just come back. Mind you, I'm not trying to tell you how to do your job. It's just a strong recommendation. -MPK 16:19, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Revision Specialist?

With all due respect, and a sufficient level of wry humor, I beg to differ.

Your words: "Grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and style—these are to me what the scissors on Edward Scissorhands' hands were to him: powerful weapons capable of shredding anything in my path, but I cannot hide them or prevent them from functioning, and so they distance me from my fellow man, leaving me isolated and feared, a wretch."

The verdict: Run-on sentence. Should be divided as follows:

"I am cursed with formidable revision abilities. Grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, and style—these are to me what the scissors on Edward Scissorhands' hands were to him: powerful weapons capable of shredding anything in my path. But I cannot hide them or prevent them from functioning, and so they distance me from my fellow man, leaving me isolated and feared, a wretch."

Template

  • Why do I have to use the generic template? Project Ambition has used this template before, and it shows that the project is working on the article, I don't see why I can't use the project's template.--Mitth'raw'nuruodo(Imperial HoloNet)20px 19:11, 22 June 2008 (UTC)
    • As I've already explained, it's not my template, the template is Project Ambition's. We've been using it for some time. No one has expressed this concern before.--Mitth'raw'nuruodo(Imperial HoloNet)20px 22:17, 23 June 2008 (UTC)
      • It was not an attempt at personal aggrandisement. It was simply an attempt to further advertise for the project and get additional members. If it is against policy, I apologize. Since it is of no further use to me, would mind deleting it?--Mitth'raw'nuruodo(Imperial HoloNet)20px 23:49, 23 June 2008 (UTC)

Inq18

Quelii

I noticed that you asked a question about what I put in Society and culture section. You probably already know the answer but still: it's from KOTOR 31 Dark Horse preview, page 3. Mauser 15:06, 18 July 2008 (UTC)

Inq Meeting Nineteen

Inq Meeting Nineteen has been scheduled for the 25th/26th of July. Your attendance is requested; if you are unable to attend, it would be appreciated if you could leave your thoughts on the agenda items with another Inquisitor or on the meeting page. :-) -- AdmirableAckbar (Talk) 01:07, 19 July 2008 (UTC)

FA Noms

Hey Gonk. Wonder if you wouldn't mind working your gonk magic on my current noms for Andoorni Hui, Groznik and most notably, Gara Petothel. The latter one is long, but I think a good one, and you were always good with my previous noms. Let me know. Thanks! --Colinmcev 23:21, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

I've failed myself for the last time

How do make an interwiki link (from Wikipedia to wookieepedia). If you dont know can you refer me? DarTah Ravin' 22:03, 31 July 2008 (UTC)

Graph

How do I make a graph? -User: Master Jake Mundi Sorry for bothering you, I just found out how to. -User:Master Jake Mundi Any Questions

Subpage

How do I make a subpage? User:Master Jake Mundi

Sorry!

I'm terribly sorry about the voting thing. On the HP wiki, (the one I mainly edit), we don't have a policy like that. We let any registered users vote. Again, sorry for any inconveniences I caused. -- Freakatone Talk

Battle of Coruscant

Could you have a look at Wookieepedia:Inq/Battle of Coruscant (Clone Wars) before August 17, please. Thank you. Green Tentacle (Talk) 20:45, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

Yorik-stronha forum

Why did you delete my question in the senate hall about the "Ship" Canderous encountered. Imperialles deleted it before and said it belonged in the Senate Hall. NaruHina Talk 20px 22:39, 9 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Gonk please respond. NaruHina Talk 20px 03:01, 19 August 2008 (UTC)
  • That however does not prove that it was a Yorik-stronha, or a Dovin basal as it says on that article. It is sourced to KOTOR but nowhere in KOTOR does it say it was either of these and probably a few more if someone was to go through all of a Vong Vehicles.

Question?

Hi, Gonk. I noticed that you are an administrator of Wookieepedia, so I was hoping you could help answer a question for me. I have always been a fan of the quality articles that are produced here on the site, and frequently read the site's featured articles (or other well-written articles!) during my free time here at my part-time job here in Amsterdam; at home or school, I even make the odd grammatical correction, but not too many because I would rather read than write!! I have always enjoyed the "retro"-type articles, such as West End Games topics of articles from the Marvel or Tales of the Jedi comics! I've always enjoyed the large number of featured article topics which seem to come from the Tales of the Jedi comics, and have just (a little late, I know) realized that a lot of these featured articles were written by the user called Greyman. My question is this: How can an award of some kind be given to this user, to show mine (and I'm sure other's!) thanks for these articles? I don't have a username, and because I usually just read I don't really want to create one, so I was curious what could be done? Maybe you could give one to Greyman or something for me? I kind of remember seeing something about a "Mandalorain award" for large projects, or something...do you think that might work? I don't know, but I thought I would ask anyways!! If nothing is able to be done, than I thank you for reading my post :) Thank you, Gonk, and I hope I didn't waste too much of your time! 81.85.237.5 17:31, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks, Gonk, for leaving the award for Greyman :D I was not planning on creating a Wikia user name, but after Atarumaster88 showed me how the proper way to do an award, I decided it would have been silly for me to award someone one under one of my IPs, lol. So, I have now registered this username, and I hope to start contributing more regularly :) I have come across this "Darthipedia" once or twice from links I have found here on Wookieepedia...some funny content there, I've heard. I have also seen that you have the power to destroy user's planets? :P I just may stop by there one day, since you say that alot of the administrators of Dutch :D Good crew over there, then, hah. Hopefully I will run into you, or other nice users, during my time here. Thanks again, Pixelle(Talk!) 17:07, 14 August 2008 (UTC)

Re: Super Fun Happy Award!

Heh, thanks, Gonk, for presenting that. Nice msg too :P Cheers, Greyman(Talk) 05:07, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Could you help me?

Hey, I've been working on Wullf Yularen in my Sandbox recently, and I was wondering if you could help me with something. I saw that you had added [1] some info into the BTS over a year ago. Would you happen to have a link to the source, so I can ref it? Please let me know on my talk page. Grand Moff Tranner 20px (Comlink) 20:30, 1 September 2008 (UTC)

  • Thanks. I was anticipating an objection regarding that when I nominate it for FA, because something similar came up on the Kendal Ozzel FA nom. Grand Moff Tranner 20px (Comlink) 11:08, 2 September 2008 (UTC)

How do you give awards?

Re: Now this looks interesting

Hey, Gonk. No, I haven't seen or heard of that before. Have you managed to find an e-copy of it somewhere or something? Greyman(Talk) 16:43, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

  • Ah, ok -- I see now. Well, I'll be sure to keep my eyes open for it when I get home in a few weeks. If I do manage to find a copy somewhere, you'll be the first to know. Greyman(Talk) 16:55, 27 January 2009 (UTC)

Inqmoot 23

The twenty-third Inq meeting has been scheduled for Saturday, February 21st at 7pm Eastern time. Your presence or input on the meeting page would be appreciated. Graestan(Talk) 16:00, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, and a question

Thanks for working on the cleanup of Near-Human and related articles. I'd like your opinion on one thing, though: I'd edited the Zisian and Coynite articles as Near-Humans because they could apparently reproduce with Humans. Do you think that's too much logical extrapolation, or would you agree that that's enough to count them as Near-Humans? —Silly Dan (talk) 22:27, 14 February 2009 (UTC)

Wanting to get involved with FAs

I want to start being involved with the supporting/objecting of Feature Articles. I've read the tutorials and such, but I know that protocol is so tight on this sight, and I didn't want to just start without talking to someone. Is there anything I should know before diving into the FAs as a noobie? – Noahferfer22pxTalk 23:45, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
