User talk:Silly Dan

 Please leave me a message at the bottom of the page.

''NOTICE: I will, for the most part, only be around on weekends until further notice, and reserve the right to disappear for a few days without formal announcements. So if you have a very general question, you want a really quick response, and you don't see my username on the Recent changes page, you may want to ask another user. If it's a question specific to me, however, I'll get back to you in a couple of days at worst.''

Captain Footnotes
Re: here. Sure, I can try&mdash;if I can remember the sources. Tighter source referencing does appeal to me, and will help improve my own precision. --McEwok 18:13, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Is this good?! --McEwok 19:00, 18 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Regarding this: I do think page-specific footnotes help (they're not obligatory, but I should try to do them for all the novels, if not the comics); I also remember adding Captain/Colonel for the Alliance and the CEDF (based on The Swarm War), and this is of course the real-world system; again, Major directly above Captain is what happens in the US and UK, but the ISB doesn't explicitly exclude the existence of an intermediate grade between the two ranks, which we undoubtedly see in other canon material dealing with the Imperial military. --McEwok 12:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Picking up again from your latest reply here: how's this? --McEwok 00:57, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Now I'm confused. I'd forgotten that they added the major as Battalion commander in GttGAR (in fact, I rather suspect that the G-canon "1.2 million" and the corps/"Battle Army" structure in AotC:ICS is all based on The Imperial Sourcebook ' s OB for a Sector Army); but majors seem to be subsumed into the generic "commander" role with yellow details on their armour. --McEwok 14:43, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Code
Thanks for fixing that code problem on the Userbox history page. I should have known it was just a matter of spaces.

Btw, you might want to archive this talk page for once. ;) --  Riffsyphon  1024 06:00, 19 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Fine. I can't believe how much these things expand... &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Nebulax ban
Nebulax technically wasn't breaking the 3RR; he didn't remove the image in his latest edit. --Imp 01:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Fine, he's unblocked. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 01:23, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Upon closer investigation he did actually break the 3RR. My mistake. --Imp 01:29, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * As the main point to the 3RR isn't punishment, but getting the user to cool down, a 15 minute block works more or less the same way anyhow. So it's all good. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 01:36, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Well, that's how most of my previous ones worked anyway. ;) &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial Emblem.png|20px]] 01:39, 20 February 2007 (UTC)

SuperShadow among us?

 * Either SuperShadow, or a devotee was trolling around (talk pages only as far as I'm aware) using the IP 65.57.106.15. I'm not sure if there's any policy on reverting talk pages, so I figured I'd ask. Vryce 08:09, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * You can revert nonsense or personal attacks from talk pages, yes. (You need to use your own judgement about what constitutes nonsense or personal attacks, of course...) Anyway, he's been blocked. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for clearing that up. So my personal rule of: if it's just personal garbage, and not about the page or ways to improve it, it should go is probably fine? Vryce 05:18, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * More like if it's designed just to annoy people, it can go, I think. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:26, 21 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Just wondering, but is SuperShadow legit? Does his website tell the truth? If it doesn't then I'll have to tell an unfortunate friend. Because he supposedly had interviews with Mr.Lucas Tyg13 00:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
 * He's either a liar or delusional. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 00:52, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

Eh?
Another Canadian on Wookieepedia!? How's it going? Just looking around and saw you're in TO....and an Oilers fan, eh? I'm a True-bred Leafs fan all the way, lol. Just thought I'd drop a line and say hey, Take it easy! Greyman 19:55, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I lived in Edmonton during the Gretzky years...old habits die hard. But I like the Leafs too.  8) &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 03:34, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Thanks

 * For removing the vandalism on my archive. That was... weird... SCREAAAM!!!
 * You're welcome. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 00:56, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Coolest Thing Ever
Hey, I'm not sure if you would know this, but worth a try. Do you know when the Coolest and Lamest Thing Ever end? Not that I dislike it, I'm just wondering. Thanks. Chack Jadson 01:27, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No idea: you could ask on IRC. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 01:28, 22 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Ok thanks. Chack Jadson 01:29, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Mount Sorrow Warning
I'll admit, that was very rude and wrong of me and I accept full responsibility. It was a gague for...something. I dunno. Sorry. . .  .  .  06:21, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

205.204.242.23
Please block 205.204.242.23 as he has just returned form a one week ban and has begun vandalizing (he created the article Avatar the last airbender). Chack Jadson 19:50, 22 February 2007 (UTC)

Anon bans
I would have banned that vandal infinitely. He will return and continue vandalizing tomorrow. - TopAce 18:45, 24 February 2007 (UTC)
 * That would be overkill. Indefinite blocks are reserved for identified open proxies (especially the misconfigured ones which leave extra backslashes everywhere); usernames which were used only for large-scale vandalization, belong to repeatedly warned users, were used to circumvent temporary blocks, or are obviously offensive; and IPs used only by the most persistent vandals.  After being blocked for one day, an anonymous user who only posted relatively innocuous nonsense will probably go off to do something else. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 18:49, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

My template
Thanks for saving my template from deletion, but you downsized my pic of Obi-Wan. Don't do that again! - 5:20pm, February 26, 2007 (EST)
 * I refuse to change it. (It's my template!!!) - 5:24pm, February 26, 2007 (EST)
 * Alright I'll do it. But if you change it again I'll leave Wookieepedia forever. - 5:30pm, February 26, 2007 (EST)
 * Downsized it. Happy now? - 5:31pm, February 26, 2007 (EST)

Profanity
This User has some profanity in his bottom infobox/userbox it says. This user thinks Mace Windu has had enough of these mother****ing snakes on this mother****ing plane 216.211.66.52 11:32, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
 * We have no specific policy against that, so long as it's not used to insult another user. We're unlikely to make such a policy, for that matter. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:40, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

RE: Lyn Me
It was in Star Wars Insider #67, page 46. It had info about each of the band members. it is cannon. Quinlanfan 22:49, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Source-based awards
Wow...I forgot all about that. Is it any drama if I don't do it immediately, but wait a while? I'm very busy with the Wookiee-Cast at the moment. Amongst other things. . .  .  .  06:16, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * No rush. Whenever you feel like it. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:49, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Nickname
We were talking on the IRC, and whe thought you should be named "Intelligent Dan", etc. Please chime in here: #wookieepedia. - 22:46, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I can be both. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:49, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Latter
I don't know exactly how this works, but as an admin, is it possible for you to look up the anon who posted the article Latter? I think they got the information from the following excerpt from the Mimban entry in the databank and I'd like to explain to them that "latter" is a word in the english language, in this case referring to the Coway, not a new species.


 * Mimban has numerous intelligent species indigenous to the world, including the "Greenies" and the Coway. The first is a species of green-furred Mimbanite humanoids who have been exploited by the human population. The latter is a gray-furred species of troglodytes who are powerful warriors.

I'd like to keep them from posting this AGAIN and being confused. Wildyoda 19:31, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh for the love of...is that what's causing the problem? I've already warned the anon about fanon, but I'll leave an additional note. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 19:39, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I really really wondered about that one when I saw it, and did a bit of creative google searching, which led me to that. Thanks for explaining that to him. Wildyoda 19:41, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

You wouldn't steal a
Thanks for that. It annoys buggery out of me. . .  .  .  20:51, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

OH Canada
Hey Silly Dan could I use your this user is a canadian userbox for my page since I'm Canadian. Troyb 13:08, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
 * OK. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 23:55, 17 March 2007 (UTC)
