Administrator

I don't know if your aware of this, but one of the Administrators is acting unprofessionally and being quite rude. I thought that Administrators were suppose to set and example and help people. I don't want to get in trouble or anybody else, but someone needs to know about this guy. I hope he doesn't block me for saying this either. I went to ask him a question and saw that another member asked him why he used profane words and several of his friends have left because of it, and he responded with, "Wookieepedia is not censored. You are more than welcome to join your friends in departing. Depending on how annoying you get, I may have to assist you in doing so". His name is Darth Culator. Please, I am just trying to make you aware of this, not get anyone into trouble. I also don't want to be blocked or something if he gets mad. I thought I would make sure you are aware. I have also told other Bureaucrats.--===DARTHRAGE=== 01:43, July 16, 2010 (UTC)DarthRage

• Thanks. I have only told three of you: Grunny, JSarek, and well of course you. I appreciate you listening and all. --===DARTHRAGE=== 01:52, July 16, 2010 (UTC)DarthRage

Re: Telos Holocron

Done. Haha sorry about that. I kept telling myself: "okay, get to work on that. You have time right now, pound out a few paragraphs." Of course it never worked out that way. I'd get distracted and the like. Thanks for motivating me to move my work =P I got rid of the empty sections on the mainspace article, as well. Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 01:21, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Grand Moff Tanner

Is being abusing and editing content from licensed sources. I have edited the length on the YT-1200 YT-1210 and YT-1250 light freighter. He keeps changing it back claiming my source is 'fanon' when the deckplan already used is from a licensed RPG book, and clearly shows that the size is 28 meters, not 38. Will you please put him in check. He has even threatened to block me from editing if I change it back, which I will since it is from a valid source. Einar 90808 20:38, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Rorworr

Hey Grae, I just wanted to let you know that you have an objection that hasn't been addressed in almost a month. Can you take a look at it when you get a chance? Thanks. Cylka^-talk- 20:41, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

• Actually, I've been keeping an eye on that one. SinSam hasn't responded since he left his response of intent to fix the objection, so I am not certain as to whether he went through everything or not quite yet. It's quite a bit of work, so I was waiting for his response. Graestan^(Talk) 03:54, September 9, 2010 (UTC)

WP:TOTJ

Hey Grae,

I'm just writing you to get an idea of your stance with WP:TOTJ. Are you still interested in participating in the project? If yes, that is great. If no, that is fine as well, it was great to have you as a member, and I hope that a future situation will present itself in which you are again able to contribute. If I don't receive any sort of response from you by a week from today, I will remove your name from the current member listing. That is not to say that you cannot ever participate again in the future; should you feel so inclined, you can always return your name to the participant listing. I hope to hear from you soon, and thank you again for your contributions to WP:TOTJ and Wookieepedia as a whole.—Tommy ⁹²⁸¹ 20:36, November 11, 2010 (UTC)

GAN review

Hello Grae! Just wonderin' if you might be able to review General Grievous' Theme as it's up for GAN. Thanks for your time! MasterFred20px^(Whatever) 04:51, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Warning

Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't know I wasn't supposed to do that. I was done anyway. Those were the only people I planned on asking. Anyway, thanks for letting me know! MasterFred20px^(Whatever) 12:07, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

• It's occurred to me that we don't have the best of relations. If I ever did anything to make you dislike me in any way, I'm terribly sorry for it. I would much rather get along perfectly with everyone (I know that's impossible, but I try). If I'm taking the wrong hint, I apologize. I just don't like the feeling of being the least bit cross with someone. MasterFred20px^(Whatever) 15:09, November 12, 2010 (UTC)

GAN

A reminder that you currently have two minor outstanding objections remaining on the Unidentified Aqualish bounty hunter GAN that appear to have been resolved. The nom is otherwise eligible for successful archive, so the AC may intervene if not handled by the end of today. Thanks. Toprawa and Ralltiir 18:27, November 17, 2010 (UTC)

Alrighty then. I'll make it. Thanks for the advise! I had a rather rough start to the Wook back in 2008-09, so I'm kinda nervous about "being bold". I'll work on that. MasterFred20px^(Whatever) 04:22, November 18, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism? i think not. i have not vandalised anything. if you are meaning my youmay tag, i had seen other pages previously, as in before i created my account (quite a while ago, indeed), with similar tags. May i ask exactly what i did wrong?Gnost-Dural 15:29, December 17, 2010 (UTC)

Ticked off, big time.

Oh, sure, as soon as i do something like that, fifteen minutes later, i get yelled at for it. And when other people do it to me on my account, (the whole "no speculation" gig), and make similar comments, they are left alone. I wish i could un-nominate this @($*!!!!!!! wiki from the best wiki award that i was so foolish enough to nominate it for. Give me Fanonpedia!69.61.179.241 15:01, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

Ventress' mother

I would like to point out that as per community consensus, it was perfectly fine to have the article as Asajj Ventress' mother. While Ventress doesn't end in a Z sound, my personal preference is to use only the apostrophe instead of 's when it follows a word ending in a double s. - JMAS 06:05, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

• I'd forgotten about that. Fix it if you like. Graestan^(Talk) 14:40, January 11, 2011 (UTC)
  • Actually, you know, I don't understand where the double "s" comes into play there. Furthermore, Gonk's wording seems to suggest a concession, and that the general preferred method does revolve around the sound and not the spelling itself. Graestan^(Talk) 14:48, January 11, 2011 (UTC)
    • I'm going to move it back for the time being. I just think it looks odd to have "-ss's." Thanks for the understanding. - JMAS 14:59, January 11, 2011 (UTC)

RE:#WP:TOTJ

Hey Graestan,

Thanks for the heads up! I had no idea this is still an issue, and I'll look into it as soon as possible. In the future, I just ask that you give me the opportunity to do so before you try to take other measures, just to be fair. Thanks, I really appreciate it, and happy new year.—Tommy ⁹²⁸¹ 10:40, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

I'll get to it as soon as possible. Can you give me the instructions on how to do that please? Thanks,—Tommy ⁹²⁸¹ 13:32, January 12, 2011 (UTC)

Re:vandals/trolls

What do I mean? He was vandalising and I just kept undoing him. User:Sentra246 03:13, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

He wasn't vandalising and then reverting the edits, he was monitoring edits through a CVN channel on the IRC, found vandalism, and reverted it. Assuming good faith would have handled this situation well, though you could have just asked him if he was vandalising then reverting the edits, instead of leaving a very vague "what's the deal" on his talk page. Regards, Ajraddatz 03:22, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

• Then someone else popped out of the woodwork and from their language it could be assumed some little game was afoot. I appreciate the reverts of vandalism but if it's just going to attract more trolls or vandals, then I don't want anyone to stick around. Graestan^(Talk) 03:31, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

• Just let it wait until after tomorrow night, I am assuming it will be more readily verifiable then. Also, try to be more communicative instead of plain edit warring. Graestan^(Talk) 22:50, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Please

Grae, Please don't reprimand me or discourage me for reminding a user of this site's policies. That is not the exclusive job of administrators, and I in no way overstepped my bounds. There was really no point in posting a notice on the board, as you were clearly witnessing the issue when you blocked the page from editing. Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 23:02, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

• Trayus, your choice of language in your recent reprimand of Dangrievous is what sparked my response. There were a thousand more polite ways, including simply linking the policy, to do it. You have a growing trend of bossing and propriety when it comes to the community lately, and I think it'd be best if you checked it, before it renders you incapable of editing, much less moving forward in the goodwill of others. Graestan^(Talk) 23:08, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
  • Whoa whoa whoa, before we start throwing around accusations of "bossing and propriety" can we please provide several examples? I'm more than willing to correct this behavior given proper warning and evidence, but this is the first I've ever heard of this issue from anyone. That is, of course, not to say that I do not have this problem, but simply to say that if you feel I do please show me what leads you to think this way. Perhaps then we can speak to this issue, and I can find a way to correct it, because as I see it now I simply did what plenty of other users have done in a much more brusque manner than I. Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 23:13, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
    • Well, for instance, your recent attack on users for disagreeing with you on a CT. You derided those who had done nothing wrong except fail to put a comment on their vote, something which is not a requirement. The simple fact that you're not willing to take advice here, instead deciding that it's an argument that I need to support, also supports my "accusation." Of course, seeking fault in others as an excuse for yourself doesn't help, either. Just take it easy, man. The newbies don't need to be stomped on and the established users should be left to act within their rights. And yes, I do realize that this is a "do as I say, not as I do" moment. I've made similar errors a thousand times over, but that doesn't mean I don't think I was wrong then, and perhaps even now. Graestan^(Talk) 23:25, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
      • Grae, please understand that my comment on that CT from November was not an attack on anyone. I was simply frustrated that a number of users had decided to vote no without explaining how the CT could be altered or how Menk could explain the reasoning behind it with more clarity, and so I thanked those who did offer an explanation. And I'm in no way saying that this has to be an argument—I don't even consider it one now. I simply ask that if you tell me I have a behavioral problem, then explain to me when it manifests itself so that I may fix it. And I ask that because I fully intend to fix a problem that I have, despite your claim that I have no intention to. And I'm not seeking fault in anyone, because there's no fault to be had. Look, I respect you as an admin and as a user, but I really feel like this is more of a personal problem between you and I than a site and policy based one. I wasn't breaching and haven't breached any established rules, and I certainly wouldn't say I was stomping on anyone. I just feel—and I may be wrong—like you have a certain set of beliefs regarding my thoughts and intentions and you proclaim them as fact, as you have done above and on other occasions. I don't really feel like continuing this here because I'm sure you and I have better things to do, but if you ever do want to finish this conversation (keep in mind that it's not an argument, because I really don't have anything to argue) then please let me know and I'd be more than willing to email or IRC with you to get it sorted out. Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 23:49, January 13, 2011 (UTC)
        • Don't you remember at all that we had largely positive interactions until very recently? This really wasn't personal, at least until you tried to gloss over something you literally just did. "I simply did what plenty of other users have done in a much more brusque manner than I" most certainly is hiding behind others' faults. I'm not gullible. You can't just argue away what you say like it's going to change what exists in the form of your posts. Get back to editing, don't waste thousands more words on my talk page. The mere fact that you're unwilling to take the advice and let this go, that you have to have the longest and last word, pretty much renders my attempt to help you back onto the right track utterly moot. Nevermind. Graestan^(Talk) 00:12, January 14, 2011 (UTC)
          • Okay, sure. You and I have had too many of these confrtontations for me to care anymore, Grae. The offer for communication still stands, if you're interested. If not, then whatever. Cheers. Darth Trayus^{(Trayus Academy)} 00:53, January 14, 2011 (UTC)

The Emperor's Theme

I Youtubed "The Emperor's Theme" and found that it does contain bits of the Imperial March, mostly at the beginning. The clip I listened to was the first one, uploaded by "CIAMPIJULEPPO". It's called "Star Wars Emperor's Theme - John Williams". The other clips I listened to, if I am not mistaken, also contain elements of the Imperial March. I'd provide a link, but for some reason I'm unable to do so. 142.26.194.190 23:30, January 13, 2011 (UTC)

Deletion tags

Oops, sorry about that! Although, some of the pages I tagged (such as the Monarch page) were obviously redundant, and it didn't take any personal interpretation to reach that conclusion. But I thank you for showing me the proper way to suggest that a page be deleted; I wasn't sure how to do that, so I just searched for a delete tag and used it. :) --Promus Kaa^{(Rebel Merchant)} 25px 06:17, February 9, 2011 (UTC)

Kilson

• Don't delete this before you read this and give it serious thought....I want to come back to Wookieepedia if you can and are willing to let me come back. I know what I did in the past was wrong and that I embarrased you, myself, and Wookieepedia. I acted like a child, and as a result was treated like one, deservingly so. I know you will not likely unban me, but if do, I promise you that I will not behave in the manner I did so often in the past, and if I do, you can easily ban me again. I am going to college this year, so I will only be able to make sparring contributions to Wookieepedia anyway. Wookieepedia was founded so true Star Wars fans can get together, form a community, and feel accepted, and I want to part of this community again, if you will let me.

Kilson.

• Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. Kilson 21:07, February 28, 2011 (UTC)
  • Please take note that you are not unbanned from Wookieepedia IRC channels. You once were a very productive user and I would like to see you as one again before letting you back into the place that got you banned. Graestan^(Talk) 00:31, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
    • Yes, I have already realized that. Even if you were to unban me, I don't think I will be going on that much anyway. Thank you for telling me though. Kilson 00:53, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
      • I believe because I was technically gone for more than 12 months, I am considered an inactive User, and now I can't upload images. Is there anyway you could help me with this, I need to upload several images for my Prelude nom?

Re:Time

The reason for reverting all your removing of time is that, although it may not refer to "time" in that instance, it is how we have done it for quite some time now. On most of the articles, time is linked whenever it is mentioned or referred to. It is your preference if you want to start up a CT or discuss this with an administrator or something, but this is how we have done it for quite a while on our articles. Cheers.—Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 01:11, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

• Perhaps I was mistaken, then. This is the way I've always done it personally, and it's the way I've always seen it done. However, I see your point of view on how if it's not referring to time itself, it's not needed to link to it. I'll revert the articles back to your edits, then, until someone says otherwise. Cheers.—Cal Jedi ^{(Personal Comm Channel)} 02:22, February 24, 2012 (UTC)

Random box

Hey, Grae,

I was wondering if I could pick your brain a little bit. I've started a CT about showcasing Good articles on the front page that has a lot of momentum in favour of giving them their own queue. If it passes, I'll be starting a second CT to hammer out the details that may look something like [[User:Menkooroo/R2-D2#Second_vote|like this]]. I'd like to have multiple options for every vote, and as such, I was wondering if you had any more to add to the idea you mentioned in the SH thread of replacing the Random FA/GA box with the GA queue. It was the only alternative to "below the FA queue" that was floated, and I'd love to include it as a voting option. Is there anything else to be said about it? Thanks.
