Voting
So, how would one be able to vote for "Official Friends," out of curiosity? -Shikyo Keibatsu 12:58, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

Star wars Orgins
That is the website I found it from
 * OK, I checked that website, but I don't see where the person who wrote that article got his information from. Perhaps someone will be able to find a primary source for that claim, but I think I'll remove it for now. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 19:12, 1 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Well between that and the documentory that came with the reenhanced addition I think it could be reliable
 * In that case, it should be sourced to Empire of Dreams. It's been a while since I watched it, so I don't know if that bit of information is there or not. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 23:54, 3 December 2007 (UTC)

Support Ewoks etc.
How do I get that thing you have on your page that says "this user supports Ewoks" and all that other stuff? And thanks for the welcoming message!Maxi6 23:24, 2 December 2007 (UTC)Maxi6

Yep I found out just after I asked you. Thanks anyway!

Ok...you got me. Thank you for the fantastic site! I am thoroughly impressed with your scrutiny of posts. This will be an invaluable resource for my RPG campaign. Cheers,
 * OK then. Thanks for your cooperation. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 21:54, 7 December 2007 (UTC)

One other thing: What exactly are widgets and how do I use them? And thanks for the signature help.Maxi6 22:14, 15 December 2007 (UTC)Maxi6
 * I don't know what you mean by "widget", beyond the standard dictionary definition. Sorry. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:32, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

When I go to the drop-down menu next to my username, it says my userpage, my talk, my preferences, my watchlist, my contributions, and manage widgets. Maxi6 14:18, 17 December 2007 (UTC)Maxi6

WP links
Ah, sorry about that. As far as Wikipedia links go, I've been slightly annoyed with them, as they frequently direct us to a slice of a "various minor stuff from Star Wars" page which has either very little information attached, or pages that contain so little information on the subject that I feel it is rather moot&mdash;we have more here, and directing readers there is a bit of a waste. However, I did start to realize my error when I hit some of the big names, and stopped. Should I revert them all? It's your call. With respect, Graestan ( This party's over ) 14:47, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * As for the fan site stuff, I really feel that SWTC is a bit misleading for users, who have had a very small piece of Mr. Saxton's creations canonized, but are still being referred to the rest of his unofficial (as I believe he should point out in the very title of his site, as very few people read introductory paragraphs) works, which are still considered fanon. I was beginning to apply the same logic to sites which were linked to without any pretext as to whether they were verifiable and only contained canonical information, but it really was just a thought. I'm quite open to undoing my work last night, and I hope you're not offended. Graestan ( This party's over ) 14:52, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Back to Wikipedia&hellip; Kindly click the Wikipedia link at the bottom of CC-1138, please. I rest my case. Graestan ( This party's over ) 14:57, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Answering on your talk page. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:58, 17 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the congratulations. I'll go about fixing those links, but I'll keep an eye out for nonsense or nonexistent articles like the one I pointed out. Graestan ( This party's over ) 06:01, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

Merry Christmas!

 * Thanks! &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 04:17, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

ok I am adding the stuff to the sith magic section. Someone will have to makie it look nice though probably. Thanks. Shatterpoint14 00:41, 7 January 2008 (UTC)Shatterpoint14

Thanks for reverting vandalism on my page.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 14:28, 12 January 2008 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 14:40, 12 January 2008 (UTC)

Why
Why was Jack Nebulax exiled?
 * Persistently argumentative behaviour and edit-warring. You'd have to ask the people who did block him for the details about whatever it was that led to his final block: my only involvement there was to archive and lock his talk page to prevent people from leaving him messages he couldn't respond to anyway (whether the messages were to taunt him, complain about the block, or to ask him some other question.)  You seem to be a very new user here, though: why do you want to know? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 16:05, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

I dunno! I only knew this thing existed until a few days ago! Darth Oompa Loompa 17:34, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Thanks anyway. Darth Oompa Loompa 17:35, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Re: wiki link
I agree with you that it should stay in this case. As I was removing it, I was having second thoughts, but went ahead with it. Toprawa and Ralltiir 23:52, 24 January 2008 (UTC)

Veedo Vaocan

 * Good solution; I'm fine with it in the Bts section like you have it. More broadly, you've done a good job on the expansion as a whole. jSarek 18:43, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Do Rodians hear through their ears or antenna? Vaocan appears to still have his ear in that pic - of course that begs the question of why his right-side hearing is impaired... --Eyrezer 22:22, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * The Databank calls the antennae "twin saucer-like sensory organs", while Ultimate Alien Anthology, Galaxy Guide 4, and both the new and old Essential Guides to Alien Species don't mention them at all. I guess the offhand mention in H & R means they hear with their antennae, but then what are their ears for? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 14:49, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Or the same explosion that took his antenna cost him his hearing in one ear. jSarek 01:11, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

%s
In Mozilla Firefox is a function named keywords. How does it work? There is an instruction - http://youtube.com/watch?v=atEc5xQOkI4 (or http://kb.mozillazine.org/Using_keyword_searches). As you see it's very heplful. For example my keyword for Wookiepedia is "woo". But when I (or anybody else) write down only "woo" I'll enter the page named "%s". And there should be redirect to Main Page. When I want to enter the Wookiepedia I don'h have to write "starwars.wiki.com but I can write only "woo". Faster and better (searching), belive me :P. Trust me - a lot of people use this function and redirect :) PS. Sorry for my English :) --Abe125 17:57, 3 February 2008 (UTC)

Deletion

 * Hey SD, I just put Eggzavier's page up on notice today for fanon limit to give him a chance to fix it- did he ask for it to be deleted, or was it empty? Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 23:49, 5 February 2008 (UTC)
 * He had blanked it and removed the link on his userpage, so I assumed he wanted it deleted. You can undelete it if you want. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 00:29, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. His post on my talk page made me think he had just reduced it. If he blanked it, I'm certainly not going to undelete it. Thanks for the explanation. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 00:52, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

what can you post
dear silly dan,

I have a question. The question is if you are allowed to make a page about people/objects/ force powers from another game ( like darth reven from knights of the old republick). If you could tell me it would be great.

from, jedy6122 Jedy6122 04:59, 6 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You can make articles on Force powers, but check Category:Force powers first to make sure those articles don't already exist. Cheers, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 05:07, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Re: Tirog
Nice work; very clear, which is a real accomplishment considering what an oddball topic he is. I like the "fourth wall" link. The only thing I was concerned with was the "probably a Class 720 Ghtroc" bit; I felt that might be just a teensy bit fan-assumption-y, so I changed it to "possibly," which I felt more comfortable with. If you want to change it back, I will not edit-war you. :) Shoot for FA. Tirog belongs on the main page. Cheers,  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 00:43, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * I definitely think this can go to FA! --Eyrezer 08:00, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll try bringing it up to code first, though: redlinks need to be filled in, and the intro is too short. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 13:55, 8 February 2008 (UTC)
 * About the artist... Not having the book in front of me, I would eat my hat if it's not Mike Vilardi.  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 15:27, 8 February 2008 (UTC)

"Fun" templates
It seems odd to me that a lack of consensus should result in Imp's rogue changes being accepted. Why should his changes not be reverted? – Aidje talk 23:12, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Gotab/Bardan Jusik
it has been revealed that the characters Gotab and Bardan Jusik are the same person and i think that someone needs to merge their articles. This has been known for a while, yet nothing has happened, so i was wondering if you would be able to help. I am contacting a number of admins as well, so hopefully this will be able to be sorted out as soon as possible. Thanks for any help u can give me --Tom Slaughts 12:56, 22 February 2008 (UTC)

Rank capitalization
I want to clear this up with you, Dan, since we're obviously disagreeing on this rank capitalization for the DYK. Correct me if I'm wrong, but the DYK sentence is structured so that the reference is being made to his rank ("[an] admiral of the Imperial Navy.") and not his person, specifically, and should be de-capitalized as such: "A rank's name is not to be capitalized if it refers to the rank, not a person. "Ackbar was a well-known admiral." or "As a captain, he had many responsibilities." Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:14, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * You're right. And we're not disagreeing: I already changed the main template to reflect your edit to the archive. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:31, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Good, no worries then. ;) I just wanted to confirm and make sure I had it right. Too often I mess that rule up. Toprawa and Ralltiir 22:34, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Request
Hey do you have any contact with the admins on Wiki 24 if you do can you please ask them to unblock me because I did not do any thing to disrupt or disturb that encyclapedia and I would like to have asecond chance to make good edits on that site and if you would please ask them to unblock my freind BlackKirby because he did not do any thing either.Sith24ssb 23:02, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I don't have any contact with the people on that wiki, and I'm certainly not going to bother them about their application of their policies on their wiki. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 23:15, 3 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Forgive me sir, this is none of your buiness. And I only know about this conversation becase Sith24ssb called me about it. At this point, you probaly think we're the same people right? Because we're both 13, we both like the same things, and we both talk to each other a lot, right? This is'nt true. We're not the same people, we are best friends, who live close to each other. But that automactically means we're sockpuppets, does'nt it. Here, let me tell you what happened on wiki 24. I called Sith24ssb one day, and told him about this site. He logged on, and made contact with me. Together, we made edits, and kept in contact, and sinse I was a user quite longer than he was, I helped him more than he helped me. It's perfectly normal for us to be best friends, both be the same age, both go to the same school, and both like the same things. This is normal. And we also have a right to both make edits to an encyclopedia, without being blocked right? Apparently not, as one day, we both get blocked by an admin who simply belives we're sockpuppets, in other words, the same guy. And he would'nt even let us speak, he just indefinatly blocked us and protected our talk pages without letting us argue the block, followed by an 29 year-old(or so he says) admin's nasty and obviously pointless comment to me. So that's the law now? If two people are best friends on an encyclopedia, they're suddenly the same person. I'm sure you don't care, but you have to admit, you can't see any justice in this. I'm apologise about this, and I'm sure you have better things to do than listen to two 13 year-old kids who's opinion does'nt matter. I'll let you continue your work. Hopefully this, unlike some sites, will allow friends to edit an encyclopedia and help each other make edits without being assmued to be the same person. You allow best friends to come here right? Is there something wrong about this that I should know about?Black Kirby 23:59, 3 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey, I hate to interrupt a good monologue, but it's probably better for all concerned if you guys drop the issue. Silly Dan cannot help on any other wikis that he doesn't have adminship on, and to be honest, Wookieepedians in general don't care about your real life situation.  Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 00:13, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I`m sorry to disturb you it will never happen again you can go on with your duties with out worring about me and BlackKirby.Sith24ssb 02:41, 4 March 2008 (UTC)
 * It does'nt matter to me whether you care or not, if you have'nt noticed, I'm not the one who started this conversation, I just explained it in better words. I just don't want the same misunderstanding on this wiki. Me and Sith24ssb will talk, dicuss the encyclopedia, and try to help this site in ways we have'nt had a chance to. Just don't block me, or Sith24ssb for sockppupetry. We're not the same person, we are friends, and we want to help just as much as you. Goodbye.Black Kirby 03:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

TC
Um, forgive me if this is off, but the results for Unknown Rodian's TC was 11-6. IMHO that's a pretty clear consensus in favor of deletion...-- Goodwood  ( Alliance Intelligence ) 01:28, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * 12-6 would be a clear consensus. 11-6 means "if you want, put this back in the TC, with a more airtight argument this time."  Unfortunately, no one seems to believe my "that's Greedo" argument, and trying to come up with some sort of notability policy for background characters without a name or a significant function in any storyline leads to far too much wailing and gnashing of teeth and rending of garments, so I don't think I'll try it this evening... 8) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 01:32, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Understood mate. Thanks.-- Goodwood [[Image:Redstarbird.svg|20px]] ( Alliance Intelligence ) 01:43, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

Mailing list
Hey, Silly Dan. I've set up a private administrator mailing list to help coordinate the current administrators of the site, and I am attempting to contact each administrator to get them to subscribe. You can subscribe here. My point with setting up this mailing list to get all of the administrators of Wookieepedia operating on the same page, and in a more unified fashion. Regardless of any personal differences that may exist between some members, I still feel that it is important that we are all operating on the same level, with regards to knowledge of the site, and new/upcoming stuff that is going to happen&mdash;so, basically, this is an attempt to coordinate us all in an effort to help keep us on the same page with regards to new policies, new ideas, announcements, discussions, etc. In my opinion, we're all on the same team and this will only help us to be a more organized and cohesive working unit&mdash;even more so than we currently are. I've already spoken with a few admins via IRC, and they have liked my point of this whole thing, and have thus signed up&mdash;I would really appreciate it you could do likewise :) Any questions about this, you know where you can reach me. Cheers, Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 16:12, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 17:12, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Dash Rendar fanpics
Hey Silly Dan

I was not going to write an article on xpressentertainment, merely adding a picture of Dash Rendar that is used in their film, and I started with creating a link to their page so if people wondered where the picture came from they could take a look at it.

D4sh
 * Well, you can't use it in the Dash Rendar article, like I said. That counts as fanon, which we don't allow here.  Cheers, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:52, 29 March 2008 (UTC)

Re: Dastt
I'll get to it sometime tomorrow, with any luck. Cheers,  Gonk  ( Gonk! ) 12:07, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

RE: Unidentified characters
I'm kinda breaking my own rule by replying on your page, but I have a request. First off, thanks. I was not aware of the policy change. Second off, I just did the Unknown scout trooper, as well. I created the page before I read your message. I'm not quite sure how you move articles, so if you wouldn't mind doing that for me, that'd be appreciated. I'd do it myself, but I don't do things I'm not sure I know how to. Thanks again.-- JuiceStain  Rock on!   17:46, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Why...Again
Hello Sillydan,

I was wondering why User: Jack Nebulax was blocked, however i noticed some one else had already asked, you said to ask the people who decided/Asked-for him to be blocked, who exactly where these people? not so i can vandalise their user page of course ;) 92.236.84.252 17:58, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I answered this question already, and will not address it again on this page. Why on Earth do you care? &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 18:05, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Practically every page on wookieepedia has been edited by Jack, and i've never noticed him behaving uncivil, i wanted to know what led to his block, and "Persistently argumentative behaviour and edit-warring" isn't very informtive, some proof maybe? 92.236.84.252 18:18, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * "Persistently argumentative behaviour and edit-warring" means exactly what it says. If you care that much, Forum:SH Archive/Complaints on an overzealous Wookiepeedian, Forum:CT Archive/Jack Nebulax, Forum:CT Archive/Nebulax vote have discussions of his behaviour. Also, if you care that much, you can probably follow the links to work out who blocked him and when. I'm not one of the people who gave him a long-term block: I only archived and locked his talk page to stop people from leaving harassing messages for him or from lobbying to get the block overturned on an inappropriate page.  &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 18:32, 5 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, sorry about bothering you 92.236.84.252 18:36, 5 April 2008 (UTC)

Twi'light Storm
Hey, Dan. I thought I'd let you know that Jaymach was nice enough to provide me with the newly acquired Twi'light Storm pack, which officially confirms most of those pesky articles as canon. I'm planning on going through it at length, sometime soon, to make sure everything is correct on the site :) Just thought you'd like to know what caused me to undelete the articles in question. Cheers, Greyman  http://images.wikia.com/central/images/9/9c/Jan.png ( Talk ) 03:58, 6 April 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, that's what I figured happened. Thanks. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

Article deletion
Just a reminder, you shouldn't delete a highly linked article without checking to see what links to it. When you deleted "Catalogue of unnamed vehicles," you created a couple dozen broken redirects. -LtNOWIS 12:14, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * That was a bad idea. Sorry about that. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:17, 6 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Should be mostly fixed now (though I should check what links to List of unnamed vehicles and Catalogue of unnamed vehicles, among others, to see if there's anything out of the main and image namespaces requiring a link fix.) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 13:50, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

RPG star wars
sorry about the confusion i wasnt entirely sure if it was against the rules or not to advertise and i apologize for any trouble. i simply thought that a group as dedicated to star wars as this might enjoy this game, i had no intention of breaking any rules.

Ban request
Could you ban my userpage. There's been a large mistake: I am made another account, DARTH SIDIOUS 2 (one letter more) to finnish SW wiki when I thought that I can't use the same there. So I have now 2 accounts, and i wish to remove this one where my signature directs you. DARTH SIDIOUS2 12:23, 1 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Good, thing is solved. I'll keep this account for interwiki and other work here (i work much lesser here). I am NOT going to remove my new account, cause i am an administrator and a bureaucrat in finnish SW wiki, with over 6000 edits so why in the earth should i leave it??? DARTH SIDIOUS2 16:22, 2 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Nothing personal, but i have "left" Wookieepedia for finn SW Wiki, cause i have succeeded muuuuuuch better there... Only i do here is interwiki and other little support things... DARTH SIDIOUS2 16:25, 2 May 2008 (UTC)

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks for the thank-you, Silly Dan :)! Thats the first "coplement" I've ever gotten, and I think your right on the Charon planet name thing, and I must say, I'm surprised you Knew to spell my name with a LOWER CASE b, Cause there's another Darth, who's name looks like this: Darth Blight. You know, your the first person to post on my page, and, your user page was the first one I ever visited, and I tink' your R2-D2 plush is cool; I got one, too, name's B2-L4. I list all this on my user talk page, so visit, and may the force be with you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Darth blight 22:18, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

This is unfair.
Listen, I am Edgeorge23 (the vandal) and I am mad at the administrators of this Wikia for the following reasons:

1). First and most important, I have to tell you that I was totally enraged when I read that you, SillyDan, blocked me for 3 months for being a  “sockpuppet master”. I understand your stance but I swear that this is all a terrible misunderstanding. The truth is that I am not behind control of users Takuma and Bustito. The truth is that these users are my brothers who wanted a Wookiepedia account after I told them about it . Then by brothers tell me that their accounts have been blocked and then, after trying to log in with my own account, my IP was blocked. What I told you was nothing but the truth and I would love to prove you that in anyway. You got to believe me, man. I am sending you this from my friend’s computer. Three months? PS: Sorry for my poor English, it’s not my native language.    because I am not. I have a certain dignity. I swear that I understand that blocking IS FAIR. And I really have to thank you for blocking me, because now I know the rules better. The accounts are really not under my control, I swear, I don’t even know their passwords…I really don’t. You have to believe me please, I am gonna get crazy!! This is a crime I did not commit!! I don’t wanna get punished for it! I really don’t! I am ready for any trials and courts, because I am innocent and I love Wookiepedia. I am ready to give, I am ready to make Wookiepedia “a better place”. I am ready to face my punishment, but not for something that I did not even do.

2).I supported my young (14y.) brother’s editings because they were fair. When he put it, you people erased it. When I put it, you kept it. Can you explain, please, cause I do not understand. Please pardon any of my questions, I’m a newbie…

I know you cannot redeem me completely from my punishment, because I was guilty about the vandalism part, I understand and I will responsibly get punished. But I strongly insist that I am innocent about the sockpuppet master thing…It still hits my nerves, you almost got me to cry when I read this, really. I demand my punishment to be lowered (3 months?) and to be fully reddemed of ANY charges about controlling multiple accounts.

I tell you once again that I am not the controller of these accounts, my brothers are.

Next time I will check my editings twice and consult you, too. See what you can do about my punishment. My block ID is: #28188 and I can tell you that I would be saddened if you did not punish me at all…But about the multiple accounts, this is totally unfair.

Contact me anytime for any questions about my complains and anything else. Thank You Very Much, Edgeorge23 the vandal (you started it.)
