User:Riffsyphon1024

Welcome To the Very First User Page Created at Star Wars Wiki

Number of articles on Wookieepedia:

That's right, after searching the user list, I found that noone else had made one, assuming that their ones at Wikipedia were sufficient enough. But not for me, I have to be the first at something.

I proposed a working name for this Wiki back in March: Wookieepedia (credit goes to Cbarbry). Therefore, those who work here are Wookieepedians.

I have contributed more than 8000 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 nitty gritty.

I have attempted to save Star Wars articles from the Great LucasCruft Purge of March 9, 2005. Then soon after I was notified by Cbarbry that the SWW was up and running, and apparently for a few days already.

I have now 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. -- Riffsyphon1024 04:18, 13 Jul 2005 (UTC)

As of October 2005, I am on a Wookieevacation and will not always be available to handle the wiki and its various problems, but might still be around to edit some things in short spurts.

Short Bio
My real name is Steven Greenwood, a 21 yr old college student with a love of SW and a open schedule to contribute (for now). I am a resident of Clarksville, Tennessee, USA, Earth, Sol system, Orion Arm, Milky Way galaxy, Local Group, Virgo Supercluster, Universe 1.

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

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

Normally I will sign in with cookies on my computer, but then as I use another computer that does not remember me, I tend to forget to sign in. It happened on March 15, 2005 under the IP address of 198.146.62.174 and October 26, 2005 under the IP of 198.146.57.226.

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.

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)

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.

All Lists Have Been Fully Linked and Sent to Planets of Star Wars

Podracer Pilots
I have transferred the pilots from the Boonta Eve Classic podrace to a subpage for Wookification and cleanup. I have reason to believe that they could be copyvios but have not found a source.

AIM: Same as my user name.

I have a profile at the social networking website Myspace where I consider myself a King of Dorks: My profile

I also have a really crappy website at Yahoo Geocities.

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