Number of articles on Wookieepedia:

I have contributed more than 10000 edits to this Wiki. Check this link for more detailed stats on the Wookieepedia.

Refer to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Riffsyphon1024 for all the detailed nitty gritty.

I have given up on trying to keep Wikipedia's Star Wars articles in check (as they will never be as enforced as they are here, especially in times of canonicity checking) and will continue to focus on this wiki's performance.

Adminship
I became an administrator of SWW on March 16, 2005.

Aliases
My screenname on TheForce.net's forums is wookieepedian1 for any who weren't quite sure who that wookiee was running around over there.

Around the web I am also taking on the alias of darthdorkus. I created a Imperial character for an internet RPG under the name of General Aurelius Tempest, a cold-hearted bastard with an AT-AT. :) Additionally, if I was inserted into canon I could be Nevets Do'ow-neerg.

Change of Browser
I went to using Mozilla Firefox on October 2, 2005, however the yearboxes on the year articles are no longer centered for me like they were in Internet Explorer. Interesting.

Things I find interesting on Wookieepedia

 * Anons who revert other anons.
 * Anons who underestimate the power of the wiki, and end up getting banned as soon as they started contributing.
 * The amount of -ooine and -aan planets.
 * Examples for -ooines include: Tatooine, Dantooine, Ventooine, Klatooine, Handooine, Entooine, Cardooine, Mantooine, Minntooine, Reltooine, Sistooine, Vactooine, and Velmooine. Most -ooines show up in the Rim.
 * Other possibilities might be Brintooin, Jandoon, Parshoone, Salltine, Alvorine, Aviprine, and Humbarine.
 * Examples for -aans and the occasional -een include: Alderaan, Aldereen, Falleen, Endoraan, Manaan, Delderaan, Taloraan, Chardaan, Nelvaan, and Tiisheraan. Most -aans show up in the Core.
 * StarNeptune and I have speculated that maybe there is a link, maybe an ancient empire that ruled the Rim, and another in the Core, each warring factions of each other, marking their territory with these suffixes. Maybe even the homeworld of both was named Aantooine, before spliting up. It's only a fan theory. :)
 * A Galactic Census could be held: Humans would have an overwhelming majority, followed by Twi'leks, Rodians, Wookiees, and Hutts. They may not really be the most populous, but they are the most popular.
 * Our first bot, appropriately a familiar droid named Artoo.
 * That a few guys can grab the attention of an entire fanbase in only a year.
 * Users who insist on being Darths (i.e. Darth, Antilles, Awesome, Benobi, Cow, Chicken Joe, Culator, Danny 12345, Fisto, Fistula, Fizyk, Hutt, Kakarot, Malist, Malus, Mantus, McBig, Monkey, Nemesis555, Nuke, Oblivion, Ocean, Ollor, Rage, Reaper, Revan Reborn, Smith, Shatner (though may not be one of ours, was interesting), Steves, Tader, Teal, Tuna, Tyler, Vader2.0, Vengen, Zjyslav Moose, and of course Vader)
 * Users who go by character, location, or actor names (i.e. 95 Headhunter, AdmThrawn, Alderaan, Anakin Skywalker Jr., Bobafett122005, Borsk Fey'lya, Cato Neimoidia, CptKenobi, General Kenobi, Emperor, Ghorfa, Jacen Solo Jedi Master, Jaster, Jorg Sacul, KeiranHalcyon, Kwenn, Lady Tarkin, Liam Neeson, Lord Krayt, Lorth Needa, Luminara, Maaul, MaulYoda, MaxVeers, MoffRebus, ObiKenobi, Ozzel, Padme829, Palpy, Prince Xizor, Remoh, Revan821,  Rune Haako, San Hill, Scorch, Skywalker, Skywalka, Veers, and Voolvif Monn just to name a few.) The Darths actually have slightly more creativity than these guys. ;)
 * An article titled "Hover Transport" that actually read "A transport that hovers." Real inventive.
 * That I never finish what I start.
 * That I catch more mistakes after I saved for the first or second time.
 * My new favorite word is osik. An example of this in action is: "Don't give me all that droids-have-rights osik." from Odds.
 * I am enlightened to learn that I share a birthday with Aayla Secura.
 * JustinGann's findings of creature population per planet, with the order as 1) Naboo 2) Tatooine 3) Endor 4) Kashyyyk 5) Yavin 4 6) Dac 7) Ithor 8) Corellia 9) Dagobah 10) Haruun Kal 11) Ansion
 * That noone was born in 0 BBY. Did a great disturbance in the force prevent childbirth across the galaxy?
 * That it's astounding how fast information is added from a released source only hours after made public.
 * That I can prevent myself from going crazy from spoilers by purchasing that source on that day.

A Friendly Email from KFan
"Dear Riffsyphon1024,
 * Fine! Be that way! You'll see that once I will encourage people to see my point of view, you and your pitiful ideals will be out numbered. You see, I actually have a point, unlike your side, which has no point whatsoever. I am confident my side will win, even if it is not under Darth Sidious. Personally, I just like it that my text and picutres are in the article, if not the same title. I have other things to do, like merge Anakin Skywalker and Darth Vader. Once I'll know how to, I'll start my own Star Wars website, which I will own completely, or at least I'll be admin. You are obviously like Palpatine and want to keep your Sith-like qualaties a secret, that is why you do not want to merge the articles."
 * Oy . . . I don't know how to respond to this, other than . . . *boggleboggle* JSarek 07:18, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
 * Medication. --SparqMan 22:02, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * "Obviously like Palpatine"?. The rest of his own e-mail screams "dictator" more than anything Riff has done. --Fade 22:11, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Are you three insulting me? As my brother would say, "You wanna mess, punk, punk?" By the way, I'm sure none of you are punks, its just a saying. But still, do not insult me. I sent that email in one of my worse days. At least Palpatine and Darth Sidious are under the same name now. KFan II
 * Nobody is insulting you. However, it's a pity that you decided to leave instead of contemplating to the community's wishes. If others behaved the same way, there would be no Wookieepedians left. I hope to see you back, making valuable contributions, and I'm sure the rest of the community will appreciate your efforts if they prove to be productive, not disruptive. - Sikon 15:29, 15 Aug 2005 (UTC)

Planets of Star Wars Count

 * Eion counted it at 4,099 as of May 5, 2005 (however this can be disputed due to human error)
 * Shadowtrooper counted it to be 3,311 as of June 14, 2005, stating it is the figure on the Holocron database.
 * Imperialles counted it to be 3,452 as of August 13, 2005, using Microsoft Word.
 * Leland Chee states it to be...

My Creations Moved Over
Sectors of Star Wars, Systems of Star Wars, Cities of Star Wars, Creatures of Star Wars, The Maw, and Repulsorlift

My Various Projects



 * Moving Category:Characters to Category:Individuals (completed March 31, 2006)
 * I've also been spending some time on SparqMan's HoloNet News Page, adding articles with a poodooload of redlinks.
 * Beginning May 30th, I will be adding information on cities, planets, systems, and sectors if at all possible after the discovery of an old compendium of galactic infomation I put together 4 years ago. I know that all the information came from CUSWE but I did not individually cite each source of information as that would have taken too long at the time. Feel free to add the source to any particular information I may be adding, but I assure you it is valid per CUSWE.
 * I've made quite a few articles pertaining to things usually found in our own galaxy but also appear in the GFFA, including but not limited too: Snake, Groundquake, Number system, Tattoos, Radiation, Carbon dioxide, Mercury, Silicon, and all sorts of other elements and compounds.
 * Managing the load of Legacy stuff coming in, all while being careful enough to avoid plotlines too sticky of a nature.

Good Sources

 * Databank

Copies from CUSWE
I would believe that a simple list of the planets from TheForce.net's CUSWE is not a copyright violation, because anyone can get the names of all of them from somewhere. CUSWE just happened to alphabetize them already, and made lists of the moons and stars. I could provide links to the thousands of planets we have here, but someone will have to write info on each planet, moon, or star without using CUSWE as a source, unless they asked for permission and were granted to use that information (but word for word, probably not). To be fair to the community of TheForce.net, please try to write in your own words.

AIM: Same as my user name.

I have a profile at the social networking website Myspace where I blatantly consider myself a King of Dorks. I'm so full of it.

I also have a really crappy website at Yahoo Geocities.

Sometimes I get to thinking, what if I was as popular as Ghyslain Raza.
