Nominating a Quote
Yes, hello. I'm a new Wookieepedian, but have been using the site for quite some time now.

I'd like to know where I nominate a quote on the In-Universe Quote-of-the-day page. I can't figure out where the link is, or however it is done. Help? The quote is:

Wedge Antiles: "Phanan, Face, still Seven and Eight. I'd hate to break up the best comedy team this side of the janitor's closet." Ton Phanan: "I love an understanding commander. Know where I can get one?" --Wedge Antilles and Ton Phanan, discussing pilot assignments for Wraith Squadron

I found the page, templates, etc., but I can't figure out how to do the nomination itself. I'd appreciate the help, and thanks!

WikiWookiee113 15:32, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, to be honest, I've never nominated a quote myself, so I don't know. -- SFH 15:56, 12 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. Do you know anyone who I might be able to talk to about it? WikiWookiee113 02:43, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Nomination for Offical Friends
Hi!

I run The Lightsaber Wiki and was wondering if you could nominate my wiki to be an Offical Friend.

And how do you do that?

And also I could let some other Wookieepedians onto my wiki to boost it's publicity

Thanks,

Cam12343 18:05, 22 February 2009 (UTC) - http://lightsabers.wikia.com
 * I'm not entirely sure how one would go about nominating another site for official friend, though I think you can nominate it yourself. -- SFH 18:08, 22 February 2009 (UTC)

But does anybody else know that I could talk to?

2.3 Expansion
hey, im really confused. I was just playing around typing in fictional names into search to see if they were real sw names (long story). when i typed in Darth Rex, it brought up a page saying, "Welcome Darth Rex!" I didn't log in or anything on purpose, and when i searched wookieepedian names, darth rex didn't show up! REally confused. Thanks. a really confused noob72.73.84.226 16:58, 10 March 2009 (UTC)
 * According to our logs, Darth Rex hasn't contributed in over two years, so it isn't you. -- SFH 22:43, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Ok thanks.72.73.84.226 00:48, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

Spam Trigger Error
Hey when I try to edit my userpage I get an error saying:

''The page you wanted to save was blocked by the spam filter. This is probably caused by a link to an external site. The following text is what triggered our spam filter: user:patx Return to User:PATX.''

The text I tried to put on there was:

Nice of Wikia to be slow enough to let us welcome a few of our own, eh? :D Graestan ( Talk ) 00:26, 4 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I actually feel like I something to do for the first time in weeks. -- SFH 00:31, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

I honestly do not know why I haven't done this before
I, Graestan the Mighty, Merciless, and Wise, being of certifiably unsound mind and hopelessly unfit body, hereby bestow upon you, SFH the Devout, with the Pit Droid Award of Diligence for your years of tireless commitment to the site. You've come to be known as the very definition of new user welcomes; SFH is a veritable mini-meme among Wookieepedians of any length of userhood on this site. Most importantly of all, you welcomed me. :P May you continue your endless toil despite Wikia's (and User:Wikia's) best efforts to take your job away. Carry on, tarry not, tally ho, sally forth, excelsior, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera, et al. Graestan ( Talk ) 04:13, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you! :) -- SFH 04:17, 7 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, I've been wanting to contact you, but I noticed you don't have a Wookieepedia e-mail set up. Could you perhaps e-mail me? Graestan ( Talk ) 03:07, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll have to get back to you on that, I'll be setting up a new email account soon. -- SFH 03:31, 12 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Would you mind popping by IRC? I have a question for you that requires a bit more back-and-forth than usual. Graestan ( Talk ) 22:28, 12 May 2009 (UTC)

New Positions
I was thinking, should there be designated or at least recognized authorities on lesser known topics in the real universe which montor references to those thigns on Wookieepedia? Such as languages, religions, cultures or history which is lesser known to the greater public. I have seen some honest mistakes made by people when refering to lesser known topics (in discussons or behind the scenes or other real world based facts). I am aware that this may not work due to so many positions being added or it may simply go against some policy or admins' personal site related interests. I also realize this is a reason why refeernces are required. --Darth shohet 01:08, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Wookieepedia in New Language
Who do I ask to make a Star Wars wiki on Wikia in Wookieepedia format in a different language? And yes, I checked and it hasn't been created yet. --Darth shohet 21:49, 19 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You have to go to Wikia for that. -- SFH 22:01, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Any idea as to where I should/could start? --Darth shohet 16:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't know, I've never tried to start a wiki before. -- SFH 18:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

The Timeline on the Legacy of the Force page.
I remove it because it was based on dates given by Sue Rostoni and Lord Hydronium told me that Sue stated somewhere that her dates were screwy, meaning that the timeline itself is screwy.
 * I actually acknowledged this on the relevant talk page, but once again I apologize. -- SFH

Just wanted to mention that I found where said her timeline was wrong and added a link to it in the section I started on the LOTF article's talk page so there would be some proof of the timeline being wrong.Mbruno 03:47, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

Any Idea Why I'm getting This Message
I was going revert your reversion of my edit and it keeps saying Removing (or "blanking") much or all of the text on a page is not permitted except in specific circumstances. Please confirm that this is deliberate. If confirmed, this edit will be reviewed by an administrator. What do I do? Also, sometime when I clicked save page it just goes to a blank white page.Mbruno 02:37, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Probably just loading difficulties on the blank page. -- SFH 03:43, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

What about that message? How do I confirm?Mbruno 03:48, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It's due to a filter that the we have put in place to warn new users when they attempt to remove large amounts of information to make sure it is what they want to do. To confirm you simply save, and the edit will be flagged so an administrator can check that it wasn't vandalism.  Grunny  ( Talk ) 03:52, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Welcome!
Thanks for welcoming me to this Online-Dictionary! I am happy to be here. I hope my edits on this online-dictionary would be very helpful. I <3 Star Wars very much, that's why I go to this Online-dictionary. If there is anything I can do to help this online-dictionary. My friend Doctor Hax might be coming to this online-dictionary soon, and hopes to be in help this online Online-Dictionary too. Jeez, how many times did I say Online-Dictionary. LOL! XD Thanks again. --Mega Sean 45 22:34, September 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Just to let you know SFH, this Doctor Hax is actually a sockpuppet of Mega Sean 45. He caused trouble elsewhere, for instance at Combine OverWiki (where they are both blocked), so be careful. Klow 22:39, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

No offense, but...
I think that Dark Empire should be ousted from Canonocity. Just think about it. Would anyone ever DARE to pick on Boba Fett (DE2)? Or how could an antique gun shoot down Slave I? And how come all these Jedi had families? Don't you see a problem in that?&mdash;B-Boba Fett! He'll kill us all!   20:36, October 2, 2009 (UTC)

Wookieepedia Cleanup
Hello. I'm Gmalek. For the past week, I have been searching for answers. It goes kind of like this: My friend used to contribute to this site, about a year ago. He left, also a long time ago. I was just seeing if his page was still here, and I saw that it was. I figured that pages like these get deleted after a long time. So I looked up more Wookieepedians who had left, and two of the ones I found had left nearly two years ago. So I asked JangFett and Chack Jadson, hut they haven't giving me the answers yet. So here is my question? How long does it take for someone to send someones userpage to the Trash Compacter? I would greatly appreciate your help. --Gmalek 18:17, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Userpages are only deleted if they violate policies. If a user is absent for over a year, then then the page will be marked with an inactive template. -- SFH 18:26, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Questions
Greetings! Please call me your highness when u direct me. only kidding, my username is Princess Leia well not in the entirety but u know what i mean, anyway a few questions, how do people get ahold of some of these pictures? Darth Vader never tortured Leia in a new hope, and it was Luke who killed Darth Vader, ok not really, but how?--Princess Leia Organa Skywalker Solo 00:30, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

It's also kin of hard to keep track if we have messages is it's all posted on the talk page we asked questions on, could u please make one exception 4 me and send me ur answer on my question above?--Princess Leia Organa Skywalker Solo 00:40, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

IRC
Are you "SFH (n=shennebe@unaffiliated/sfh)" on IRC? We've had a minor issue with impostors lately, and it's at least mildly suspicious to have an admin show up (who has, as far as I know, never used our IRC before) with a cloak that doesn't go through Wikia confirmation. -- Darth Culator  (Talk) 17:05, November 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry this took so long to answer (I was traveling today) but to answer your question no, that is not me. -- SFH 03:33, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

How to go about doing a conflict between sources?
I would like to know how I would go about doing a conflict on the planet Cathar. Some sources place it in the Expansion Region next to the Ploo system but The Essential Atlas places it in the Quelii sector of the Outer Rim Territories next to Dathomir. I even sent an email to Jason Fry and he responded that the system was moved with LFL authority to be in an upcoming book.Crumb 00:11, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * Go with the most recent source, but make a note in the Behind the scenes section. -- SFH 05:28, January 13, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have made the edit to the Cathar planet page regarding location. If you could please check to see if it meets standards and thanks for the advice.  Anyone can look it up in the The Essential Atlas to see for themselves.Crumb 01:39, January 24, 2010 (UTC)

Help
I no It is not your buisness but I got falsely accused on star wars fannon wiki and I can't ever get back in or e-mail them And since your the admin of wookiepedia I was hoping you could help me
 * I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I can't help you. I don't go to the fanon wiki and don't know how I could help. -- SFH 17:34, February 13, 2010 (UTC)

It's okat I'm trying to take care of it with Brandon Rhea but thanks for answering

Submission Help
Hello,

I am VERY new here. I just recently started reading some of the Star Wars novels and I have been crosses referencing everything I am reading with Wookieepedia. (Example:looking up different species and planets)

While reading Drew Karpyshyn's Darth Bane Trilogy, I came across many references to a Chancellor Valorun and found no reference to the Old Republic Era, Valorun.

So, I started playing in the Sandbox and I was wondering if there was any kind hearted Administrator out there willing to take me under their wing and help me with the format and editing of what could be possibly be a useful submission.

Thank you for your time, GreenJedi

editcount
The subject of your mainspace edits has been brought to my attention. A number of administrators have had their sysops removed due to their having less than 50 edits in a 6-month period. Your last 50 mainspace edits go back over a period of a year and a half. Were you still interested in being a member of the administration? Let me know. Graestan ( Talk ) 17:17, March 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * I am, but to be honest, I'm not sure if I can maintain the desired number. I'm not really keeping up with the current books/comics/cartoons due to personal tastes, and odds are the things I do know about are already sourced to the maximum potential. On the other hand, I've put a lot of work into the site over the last five years, and am here everyday. I just don't know if I actually can keep my adminship under the current rules. -- SFH 18:52, March 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Perhaps I could offer advice. Personal problems kept me from the site for a period of several months recently, and I was alerted with two days before my six-month period was up that I needed to make it back to fifty edits. In order to make it happen&mdash;and I desired to keep my sysops because I feel I can still be of use to the site as an administrator and bureaucrat&mdash;I used "random article" and made any corrections I felt were necessary to as many pages as I could for a couple of hours. Wording, formatting, easy stuff. I've seen what you do: you watch the RCs and sometimes make deletions and blocks based on your observations. We could use an admin like you still in the group. Just let me know what you decide. Graestan ( Talk ) 04:52, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry to interject, as it is not really my business, but I too have a thought. SFH, I know that I and others appreciate the work you do on the site with user talk pages and your regular presence. I periodically go through the great typo hunt and it usually provides a good quick thirty-five to fifty edits for me in a short span of time. Maybe you'd be willing to help out there? That might help you reach the main space edits needed. Just a thought. Have a great day! &mdash; Fiolli  {Alpheridies University ComNet} 05:04, March 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'll take both pieces of advice and go!!! ...But I'll have to do it in the morning. Thanks, though. -- SFH 06:57, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

New to Wookieepedia
Hi, I saw the links you posted to my Talk page. I guess you're kind of the welcoming committee here? Just wanted to say I'm looking forward to being part of the community here. I admit I haven't kept up with SW much lately but I started browsing this site a lot to catch up, and figured I could help, if only by correcting the common spelling and grammar mistakes I see in a lot of the shorter articles and stubs. I'm trying to go through the ship stubs, correcting that stuff as needed. I hope I'll be able to help make the site better in my own little way. Thanks! Hase Rux 06:18, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Welcome aboard. -- SFH 15:50, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

What would you recommend
Since it seems Chack is going to persist in ignoring site policy regarding Shimrra's name, what would you recommend as a next step? Start a CT to overturn the existing naming policy? Start an actual vote about Shimrra's name on his talk page? Ask you to move Bail Prestor Organa back to just Bail Organa using the current discussion as a precedent (though that seems to be skirting WP:POINT)? -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 19:46, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Ackbar? Excuse me? I find your attitude very disturbing, and suggest you watch it.  Chack Jadson  (Talk) 19:54, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * I find moving Bail Prestor Organa to Bail Organa walking the line between following precedent and violating POINT. Let's try and get some more opinions on Shimrra's talk page before we do any actual moving. -- SFH 20:12, May 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your suggestion. That is all I was after, just to clarify. As it seemed clear we were not going to come to agreement, I wasn't going to start an edit war over it. Neither do I want to do anything to violate any policies here so I was asking for an educated suggestion for the best step to reach a conclusion to the disagreement. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 20:16, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Anchorhead and distances
Hi, I know I'm a bit third party on this, but... Mos Eisley article says the distance is 80 km, and that can be roughly measured from although it isn't exactly north&mdash;south direction. I don't have direct access to any better sources on this so I won't be the one making the call. Hope this mumbling clears why that edit happens often. (: --Tm_T(Talk) 17:29, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Redlinks
As a new wiki user, I would like to make improvements to this site. Specifically, the excess of redlinks within several articles "going away". For instance, within the Scimitar article of this wiki, within its "Description/Characteristics" portion, it lists X-C 2 ion drive array as not having a page. In samaritan spirits, I would like to fix these redlinks for other users. I need a nudge in the right direction however. Can you give me tips on sourcing and researching to properly document and add information on these 'missing pages'? Your help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

AOTC Soundtrack CS
I'm going to let the removal stand for now. I have a copy of what is not a "bootleg" copy. It is a product I received from a friend overseas. I believe it was purchased overseas (outside the US) before the "official US release date" and then pulled from the shelf without ever being officially released in the US. Therefore, there are some copies still available out there. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 21:47, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * So this is official, just not sourced? Master Fredcerique  Begun the Clone Wars has † 22:07, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I think technically not. Since it was cancelled, it is therefore not official or officially licensed. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 22:11, September 23, 2010 (UTC)
 * I have no way to confirm its authenticity. The person I received the files from is deceased. I just happened to have these files on my ext hd from some time back. As an online search for it yields only torrent downloads, I have to assume now that it's not officially licensed. -  JMAS  Jolly Trooper.png Hey, it's me! 22:15, September 23, 2010 (UTC)

Hevy edit
Hey, SFH. I noticed that you edited "he" back to "He" in the CT-782 article. While I appreciate you taking the time to do so, I'm about to rewrite that whole first paragraph anyway. If you noticed, I'm currently giving that article, as well as several of my other FAs, updates. I left "he" like that on purpose per my reason above. :P  JangFett  (Talk) 02:50, September 24, 2010 (UTC)

Creating a new article
So I've been drafting up an article for a webcomic. I have two questions regarding parts of the article I want to make sure follow site policy before I publish it. If there is any other criteria you are concerned might make this article unfit for the wiki, I would be glad to let you know. –– Darth Shohet –– 00:00, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
 * 1) Notability: Two full projects have been completed and the creators will complete least three more. The creators have attended many conventions in the country and the comic has even gained the support of the 501st, which has helped to promote the comic. Is it notable enough?
 * 2) Image Policy (Fan Art): Since this is a fan project, do all images from this project fall under the category of fan art? Or are they allowed since the images come from a published webcomic, despite the fact that it is made by fans exclusively?
 * Nothing I can really think of. If the comic can pass the community's Notability requirements, then good luck. -- SFH 00:11, October 11, 2010 (UTC)
