Userboxes

Hi: Just to let you know, userboxes normally (a) reside in the Template: namespace, and (b) need to go through the Wookieepedia:Userbox proposal first. This is primarily to discourage the unlimited creation of nonsense userboxes, which became a problems shortly after they were introduced. You can make customized userboxes on individual user pages using the {{userbox}} template, but only the approved infoboxes are supposed to be used to add Wookieepedian userpages to categories, or go on the list at Wookieepedia:Template messages/User namespace/. Cheers, —Silly Dan (talk) 11:57, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

  1. Thanks. I added a proposal. Please vote :) --Steinninn 12:21, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Red Links

sure i'll do it right now--Darth Vader II 23:53, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Locations

It's great that your creating pages for a bunch of the locations that the films were shot in, but I think you are kind of making too many pages.Darth Metus 16:11, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Well, en.wikipedia didn't want it, so if I can't put it here, where then? I think this is the perfect place to put a lot of these pages. In the future I hope to put some additional help for people that want to visit these locations. Should we start a vote on what location deserves an article and wich one dosn't? --Steinninn 16:14, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
    • I was thinking of something more along the lines of compiling all of the small location pages into a larger one. Darth Metus 16:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
      • I think I'll finish what I started and then we'll see what happens. --Steinninn 16:23, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
        • OK, also what does "marabout" mean? Darth Metus 16:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
          • It's a muslim thing. For me it's so obvious I forgot about adding a link. I added it now. --Steinninn 16:47, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
            • Actualy, I see now what you mean. There are other places I should write them at. And only make a new article if there realy is a lot I can write about. Thank's for the comment. --Steinninn 22:44, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
  • Excuse Metus here, but as cofounder of this facility I think it's okay having the amount of articles on individual filming locations like you have made. This is an area which we have lacked in. -- Riffsyphon1024 05:16, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
    • Well, it realy struck me how little you have about filming locations --Steinninn 15:02, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Userbox

i made you user box right here:

Re This user allows everyone in the universe to completly rewrite every edit he has written on Wookieepedia
  • i dont know were you want it so copy it from the edit page and put it where ever you want.
    • Thanks. I changed it a little bit. Looks great!

Quote-Death Valley

Hey, sorry about that quote thing. No, I don't have a better quote, and after thinking about it, I guess it would fit. Feel free to put it back. Chack Jadson 20:14, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

  • Well, I think in-universe quotes don't really fit out-of-universe articles. That quote is already used in Mos Eisley, and I suppose in a couple of other articles as well. If you want to put it back, do it. I don't really mind if we have one, but I prefer quotes that are descriptive to the article's topic. The quote suggested that an in-universe character described the mundane Death Valley. As for a suggestion of a new quote, I have no idea. There are certainly some "the Making of Star Wars"-like trailers, documentaries, etc. on CDs, DVDs, or on the Internet. You could start looking for a better quote there. - TopAce 20:03, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Ealing

Was that the kind of image you were looking for? Or did you want a picture of the studios themselves? Enochf 12:43, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

Your maps

Thanks for making maps, I also love Tunisia and went there several times (and in the Lars house as well ;-)) but to be honnest they're terrible. You shouldn't use Paint to draw maps, and even with Paint you should have achieved better results. I think I'll remake them with Photoshop, if you don't mind. ;-) Klow 14:41, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

Pioneer

The article Pioneer has not been sourced, could you please provide a source? Someone put a verify tag on it and I don't think the Userbox is going to make it unless the article is sourced. Just thought I'd inform you about this, hope you don't mind. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 11:08, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

  • Fanon usually gets deleted, but there must be some sort of source to base that article on. If the article name is "fanon" putting a {{conjecture}} tag on it might work. Other than that I don't know, the best thing would be a source, any source. --Jedimca0 (Do or Do Not, There is No Try) 11:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

Pictures

Please don't take pictures of your television set anymore. You're ruining the website quality and make us waste our time... If you want a picture, ask for it, or wait to have the proper devices to take good quality pics. I know you might never read this, but anyway... Klow 09:57, 9 November 2007 (UTC)

"You're ruining the website". I just want to point out that before I came, there wasn't a single filming location article around. --Steinninn 04:00, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Images support text

So you know, images support text. So one paragraph articles shouldn't have three images. Try and bear that in mind in future. -- AdmirableAckbar [Talk] 03:14, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

  • If you want to put in the screenshot, expand the article or lose the other image. We're an encyclopaedia, not an image repository. And please refrain from adding any sort of gallery to an article. Not only is it ugly, it violates fairuse, and thus is against the law, or so I hear. -- AdmirableAckbar [Talk] 03:21, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
    • Well, I'm just letting you know what I've been told on IRC. By the way, some of those images are not copywrited, so it does not apply. I know what you're saying about the pioneer stuff, but we're still an encyclopaedia, so it the images thing applies on those articles also. See here for further info. Thanks, -- AdmirableAckbar [Talk] 03:35, 18 November 2007 (UTC)
  • Now you're just being argumentative for the sake of it, and I'm too tired/have better things to do/am getting annoyed that Wikia is taking me to other places rather than your talk page, than argue with you, understood? Take it up with an admin if you please; Greyman and I have talked about it on IRC so I'm sure he will oblige you. -- AdmirableAckbar [Talk] 03:41, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

Canvassing

Please to attempt to recruit people to support your cause on any vote on Wookieepedia, including TC threads. Doing so is called canvassing and is severely frowned upon. Let the vote run its course naturally without trying to manipulate the outcome. Also note that many of the users you contacted have been inactive for a very long time, and so are unlikely to see your message anyway. —MJ— Training Room 04:38, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Can you site this policy? I have read that creating an account just to vote, or get your friends to create an account and vote is frowned upon. But never heard that bringing a vote to the attention of other users is. If it is, then I am sorry. --Steinninn 13:03, September 16, 2013 (UTC)
As with many other things here, it's an unwritten rule. It's not explicitly prohibited by policy in so many words, but it's just considered bad form. Notifying users who have shown an interest in a particular issue when that issue goes up for a vote is not wrong when the notifications are worded in a neutral manner and distributed without discriminating against people who might have a view that your don't like. However, you shouldn't try to recruit voters to one side of the debate by urging them to vote a certain way or by only contacting users who you believe will vote the way you want. I don't believe I've ever seen anyone blocked for doing this, but it's frowned upon anyway. —MJ— Jedi Council Chambers 17:50, September 16, 2013 (UTC)
