 * This is essentially for those who are as much into all the other subjects of the Star Wars galaxy as the 'Fleet Junkies' are into ships, which is why I used a blueprint of an astromech droid (astromechs seem to know all about the workings of the galaxy).Tocneppil 01:37, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I would want to limit this to technology in the galaxy, see my proposal on natural sciences (the true workings of the galaxy) in conjunction to this. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:30, 24 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Could we replace the first template with this variation? -- Riffsyphon1024 05:28, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I didn't want to use 'technology' twice in the same sentence. I figured 'inner workings' along with a blueprint of a droid (as opposed to a ship or lightsaber, which would be too genre-specific) would cover the broader spectrum of the technology of Star Wars.Tocneppil 22:11, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yea, though inner workings of the galaxy sounds like studies of the galaxy and not of the technology created by its inhabitants. How about this? -- Riffsyphon1024 06:33, 25 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It's a minor improvement, certainly. Cortle Steeze 18:37, 25 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Actually that was a subtle, intentional, reference, hence the choice of an astromech blueprint. I wanted a ubiquitous symbol for the area not covered by species, ship, or weapon, but would still appeal visually to the user. Astromechs, as exemplified by Artoo-Deetoo and Whistler, to mention just two, are everywhere in the galaxy and seem capable of doing just about everything. Plus, they come across as 'mechanic' archtypes, like Han Solo and Chewbacca, unlike a Jawa, which could be confused with 'Jawa Supporters'. I could've chosen a holochron image, but I didn't want to seem too scholarly, and an image of an astromech droid could also be confused with just a general interest in the droids themselves, but a blueprint would show that the user had an interest in how something was made (the 'inner workings' reference). The hardest part in writing these, it seems, is to find a balance between being too descriptive and overly-simplified, while avoiding 'labelling'. I suppose we could just leave it with "This user is a tech enthusiast." Tocneppil 00:11, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yea I know you wanted the cool reference. I was merely pointing out the language used when compared to the one I proposed so to not confuse. -- Riffsyphon1024 03:58, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I did run on a bit with that last entry. I can see your point, but it seems that besides yourself and Cortle Steeze, everybody else has been voting unanimously in favour of the original. I'd like to keep it as is for now rather than truncate it to "This user is a tech enthusiast.", which is a pretty straightforward label in and of itself, and my second choice.Tocneppil 07:54, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok we need to figure out which one you want to use before we can make it official. -- Riffsyphon1024 09:21, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I think we should go with the one I originally proposed. Other than yourself and Cortle Steeze, no-one else seemed confused by the wording of the original.Tocneppil 01:20, 6 January 2007 (UTC)
