Quick piece of advice
Hey The Forgotten Beast. Nice to see you here on Wookieepedia!
I wanted to offer a quick piece of advice and feedback. I'm not an admin here, only a fellow editor, so this isn't an official stance or policy, just something I've noticed. This is specifically about some of the edit summaries you have made. Edit summaries are best utilized as a means of informing future editors and readers about what kind of change or action you have made in that particular edit. Edit summaries like "Sigh...," which you have made a number of times (as well as other bits of commentary), are not helpful in that regard because they do not tell anyone anything useful to the editing process. While I can extrapolate that you are expressing your displeasure with the Canon/Legends announcement, I would still note that edit summaries should be utilized as an editing tool, rather than a place to opine.
You can, of course, feel free to ignore what I've said here, but I'd encourage you to use edit summaries more like a tool and less like a platform for expressing an opinion. Those are my friendly two cents. - Brandon Rhea(talk) 07:14, October 23, 2014 (UTC)

Images
While all good-faith contributions to Wookieepedia are appreciated, we ask that you please refer to Wookieepedia:Images, which can be found under the "other policies and guidelines" link in your welcome message, and familiarize yourself with the sourcing and licensing requirements before uploading any more images. The only uploading method supported by Wookieepedia, Special:Upload, will prompt you to enter this information. Wikia's non-standard upload forms are not supported under Wookieepedia policy, and ignorance of the uploading rules is not an acceptable excuse. Continued violation of the image policy or falsification of any information in an upload description are considered vandalism and will likely result in a block. Thank you. Cade

- Cool, I'm glad you're aware of that. However, the Wikia button to add images, which you must have used because it did not generate a {{Information}} template, is what I'm talking about. You have to use Special:Upload, which will allow you to add that information in before you upload and is generally far more useful (and required by policy) than the "Add a Photo" button in Oasis skin (since that's what you're probably using).
