Welcome back
Welcome back. I hope your travels went well. :-) jSarek 04:27, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks man! Everything was fantastic :-) It was great to meet you, and it was especially good to see your moves on the dancefloor ;-) --Azizlight 04:45, 4 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Shh. ::::Waves hand:::: You did not see any dance moves.  You may go about your business.  Move along. (Good to meet you too, by the way, and glad the trip was fantastic. :-) ) jSarek 05:11, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Links

 * Azizlight, I noticed you placed some links of various subtypes of underwear (won't this be a fun conversation! :-P) that were redlinked on underwear. Another user created the redlinks without an appearances section, so I deleted them, thinking they were nonsense. He informed that you created the links, so I was wondering in which canonical works they appeared- I knew the NJO novels had "loincloth" in them, and body glove appeared in several works. Thanks. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 03:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Cool, they're mostly from novels IIRC. I'll work on creating articles for all the redlinks, but my computer at home is busted at the moment so it might take me a while.  Thanks for pointing it out, I intended on doing it a while ago but never got around to it. --Azizlight 23:17, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
 * And to think I felt sorry for you for having "wank" and "porn" sections on your talk page! Now I know you invite it in on yourself! :-P Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 23:17, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Lol. No comment ;-) --Azizlight 23:23, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Arf, Art, Aziz, I'm just looking for a source on this image, since when I first saw it, I shouted "fanon" before seeing who uploaded it. Thanks, Thefourdotelipsis 07:35, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sourced. It's from the Databank. --Azizlight 10:10, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough. Thanks. Thefourdotelipsis 10:21, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

User Groups
I noticed halopedia has user groups such as the UNSC of Halopedia, Covenant of Halopedia, Forerunners of Halopedia, Gamers of Halopedia, Group Policy, and the Parasite of Halopedia, and I was wondering if there are any user groups here at wookieepedia. If there aren't any, are they against the rules? LethalReflex 02:09, 4 September 2007 (UTC)
 * You can check out WookieeProject, but i don't think we have usergroups per se, other than Inquisitorius, though not sure if that counts. --Azizlight 04:34, 4 September 2007 (UTC)

A favor.
Azizlight, this may be a little bit extreme request, but I recently cleaned up White Eyes, raspy-voiced woman, and new Sith Order, plus I redirected One Sith to "new Sith Order", only to have my edits reverted by McEwok. Could you talk to him and ask him not to revert my edits, and if he does so again, revert his edits and protect the pages? &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) 11:03, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Um, if possible, I'd prefer to avoid this argument since it appears to deal with major spoilers from sources that I have yet to read (the Mara Jade spoiler recently killed me). Sorry dude, maybe you can find someone else to mediate, or talk it through with McEwok himself? --Azizlight 11:10, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry about that, then. &mdash;Grand Admiral J. Nebulax (Imperial Holovision) [[Image:Imperial_Emblem.svg|20px]] 11:13, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * No need for you to apologize -- just sorry that I can't help. --Azizlight 11:24, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * The spoiler "killed" you? No pun intended, I'm sure. :-P Anyways, that's a, um, interesting link. ;-) To paraphrase from Saba Sebatyne "You are so crazy Azizlight!" Later mate. Atarumaster88  [[Image:Jedi_Order.svg|20px]] ( Talk page ) 14:45, 7 September 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL :-) --Azizlight 14:47, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Conan Q&A
Thanks. :-) Yes, it's the first time a "letter" of mine has wound up in a magazine . . . and the funny thing is, it wasn't originally *intended* for that medium.  My "letter" is actually just a question I asked in the Holocron Continuity Database thread.  I guess Tasty decided that the question needed to be answered in a broader venue, not to mention telling us about the neat background with the whole "Zi" name. jSarek 20:08, 18 September 2007 (UTC)
 * LOL yeah I had a feeling that question was from the forums. Well, you've inspired me to write my own letter to Insider for the first time. Here's to hoping! --Azizlight 10:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Good luck. :-) jSarek 03:31, 8 October 2007 (UTC) Or, perhaps, I should say "I wish you the best of luck, t'be sure, t'be sure." :-p jSarek 03:40, 8 October 2007 (UTC)

Picture sourcing

 * Hey, do you happen to recall where you originally found this picture of Anastasia Heonis? It doesn't appear to be in Kyle Cassidy's portfolio anywhere, www.acidpoptart.com has been unavailable for quite awhile, and the pic doesn't seem to be on her new site either. jSarek 01:05, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Damn, I can't remember exactly where it was from - most probably either www.acidpoptart.com, www.kylecassidy.com, or even http://www.onemodelplace.com/member.cfm/ID/9032. At any rate, looks like the image was removed. Sorry about that. --Azizlight 10:43, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
 * Not a problem, I was just trying to get it sourced, and was hoping it was from someplace other than the obvious. :-) jSarek 11:06, 25 September 2007 (UTC)

Heya, don't know where else to put this.
Heya, I noticed you were an admin and did not know a different way to contact you other then leaving a message here. The Twi'lek article seems to be filled with fanon, originating from a fan roleplay-site. Peach-tree.org to be exact. The fanon in the Twi'lek article includes:

''Clan system

One of the aspects of twi'lek society that has existed for longer than memory is the devotion to duty. In ancient times, the duty of all Twi were to Goddess, Clan, family...and any twi'lek would sooner have died than suffer dishonor by avoiding their duty. It was a system that strengthened the society and allowed it to survive intact and largely untouched for millennia. However, since the influence of outside powers, like the Hutts, a caste system developed in Rylothian society. The concepts of duty and honor have remained, but they are now altered.

The Warrior caste serve their people in time of strife and as enforcers of justice and keepers of the honor system in Rylothian society. It is the powerful among the warrior caste who act as judges in matters of honor among the lower castes.

The Priestess caste has a sole duty to the Goddess and to see to the enlightenment of all the twi'lek peoples. Over the millennia this has come to also include attempts by the Temple to change the harsher traditions that are from the outside and to bring social justice and a return to the older egalitarian system.

The lower caste has the duty to provide for the entire society. They must be the producers, the crafts persons, the laborers and fuel the engine of culture on Ryloth. They are the base of the system and the structures of duty and honor weigh heaviest upon them. Sense of duty to family, Goddess, and society is an everyday concern. In recent centuries, the heaviest duty has come to be laid upon the first-born daughters of the lowest caste families. Those that can afford survival in no other way must sell their oldest female child when she comes of age to fulfill the contracts with the Hutts and provide for the family's survival. This duty of the first-born is called Vassij'ra and means "sacrifice". It is the harshest level of duty expected of anyone in twi’leks society, and as such is greatly honored. Those daughters who leave home to ensure their people may survive are treated as souls that are lost in sacrifice to the Goddess and revered in the clan for the honor they have shown their people.

Despite the often harsh life that they lead, the twi'lek peoples do not resent their traditions or their duty in most part, though many may be saddened by it. They are a proud people, even in the face of such things and fulfill their duty proudly and in quiet peace and acceptance.''

(this comes from http://www.peach-tree.org/Ryloth/TwiInfo/TwiHistory.htm and upon reading the title above this piece of text, it is stated this is the fan's addition, not canon)

''Religion

Twi'lek religious practices are largely unknown, but at least one source makes mention of a Twi'lek mother goddess known as Kika'lekki. The name itself means "Mother of the Lekkued Ones", Kika being a deified variation of Kiva which means "Mother", or perhaps more implied "Honorable Mother", a very formal term not used typically for one's own mother, and lekki being inclusive plural of lekku, implying those who possess lekku.

According to myth and ancient tradition, the universe was born from the womb of the Mother, Kika'lekki, and her breath, the living Force, gave it life. In these sacred creation myths, most so old that they have been passed down orally from a time before written word, the Twi'lek clans came to be when Kika'lekki shed five tears upon the surface of Ryloth. Each tear became a river that flowed to a great lake that was the birthplace of one of the five original clans. Each clan offered worship to their mother in their own way, one through shrines of fire, another by offerings set upon the waters, a different by great stone monuments, yet another by music that drifted upon the air, and the last by devotion to prayers said only in the spirit. Each of these clans were cherished and nurtured by the Mother, and Ryloth was like a paradise where the power of life and the living Force mingled in a dance of elements.''

(This comes from http://www.peach-tree.org/Ryloth/TwiInfo/TwiHistory.htm also and is stated to be made up by the person to add to their own roleplay. This too is fanon.)

I hope this contributes to purging the Twi'lek article from fanon. It's rather strange to see someone just slipped it in.

Kind regards, Jay. :)
 * Awesome, thanks for bringing this to our attention. I've removed the above sections. Cheers! --Azizlight 11:09, 1 October 2007 (UTC)

Hyperspace image
In regards to your uploading of Image:JanuGodalhiBTS.jpg, I believe we cannot keep this image here as it is Hyperspace. Although I find it interesting that you would be the one to do this considering how involved you are. :S --  Riffsyphon  1024 17:01, 3 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Fair enough :-) Yeah I just figured that it's not as big a deal as we've all made it out to be in the past. Afterall, what's the difference between uploading an image scanned from a book that you have to pay for vs an image from a website that you have to pay for? Anyway, i don't feel strongly enough about it to make an arguement or anything. --Azizlight 08:05, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

Outsider inquiry
Wow, I can't believe I hadn't figure out you and Arf_Maul were one and the same. Are you still making the Outsider? Round 2 (Wavecrest Frigate) and Round 3 (Aleph "Twee" Fighter) are both close and finished on the TFN Lit Forums' Design a Ship Contest. Round 2 had only one entry (our automatic winner) and the winner of Round 3 (we had 3 entries) was announced within the last 24 hours. Would you still be interested in publishing this artwork in Outsider? It looks like you haven't been to the Forums in about 3 months, so I am guessing you did not get my PM. Please PM me (Senator_Cilghal) about this at TFN, or leave a comment on my (JustinGann) talk page here at the 'Pedia, or leave a comment on the Design a Ship thread, whichever is most convenient for you, or e-mail me if you still have my address. Thanks;) JustinGann 11:43, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Yeah, how is the Outsider coming Arf? :) --  Riffsyphon  1024 12:51, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey guys. Yeah Outsider is still happening, though it went on hiatus for a few months there - I've been really snowed under by other projects. I'll be announcing something soon. --Azizlight 01:12, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

Stupid Jokes I Made
I would just like to tell a Wookieepedia administrator that I claim responsibility for two stupid jokes. One is where I change the caption on a Mace Windu picture to include a certain line from Snakes on a Plane. The second joke comes from the Duel in the Chancellor's Office page, where I changed the dialog to be the lines from the popular "Over 9000" video. I simply did it as a joke that hopefully amused some unsuspecting Wookieepedian, 'cause I was reading your deleted jokes/nonsense page, and it seemed to me like you guys don't take that stuff that seriously (unless I'm doing SuperShadow esque stuff). Anyways, just wanted to say it was a joke, no harm intended.

Looking for input regarding video-wikis on Wookieepedia
Hi, As you may have heard, in the next few days there will be a new collaborative video feature on Wookieepedia. The feature is based on technology created by Kaltura, where I work. We’re really excited to have our technology on Wookieepedia and are hoping that it can be a great tool for the Wookieepedia community. I am contacting you and a few other administrators hoping that you can tell me where you think collaborative videos might fit in within Wookieepedia. We have a few people that are great with rich-media, and that are active in the community and would like to get a few videos rolling as soon as the feature goes live. For example – what pages do you think could benefit from a collaborative video that any user can add, edit and remix? Are there 5-10 top pages/topics that you think could be cool to add videos to? Any specific ideas of the kind of videos the community would like? Maybe a tribute to a certain character, or possibly a video that talks about why people joined Wookieepedia, etc. Any input you could provide would be excellent, we’re hoping that the Wookieepedians get familiar with the collaborative video feature and enjoy it. Thank you! Lishkee 14:14, 15 February 2008 (UTC)

Mailing list
Hey, Aziz. 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 ) 16:01, 28 March 2008 (UTC)
