Your "observations"
I just wanted to say your observations about Star Wars fandom (and other elements of it) cracked me up. I especially liked your observations on the Fleet Junkies and Fandos. Thanks for not being afraid to voice your opinions. PS: I'm a Fando'ade, and I agree with your observation of us entirely! :P--CT-5619 helmet comlink 01:26, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Canon Poem
I wrote a canon poem/limerick addressing our angst concerning canon. Anything to fix or add? User: Vladius Magnum/Canon Poem ---  V ladius M agnum ( Clan Magnum ) 15:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks. ---  V ladius M agnum ( Clan Magnum ) 19:55, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Definition
Ah, to put it bluntly I respect your views. At first I thought you were waaay cynical, but when I researched a lot of your stands on issues I've come to agree with a lot of them. To the point, I think you're rather astute (Star Wars in the '40s? Who would've thought of that?). So, for random reasons, I can be extremely random, if you were to define 'A Star Wars fanfic'&mdash;like you might find on a user's page or subpage&mdash;what would you define it as? Besides the grammatical functions, of course. - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  01:06, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I am not at all offended. Strongly said, but true. And I do agree that most fanfics have their character know/save the life of a major character for the sake of 'coolness'. There are several exceptions, however, I do know of one (maybe two, but I can't recall another one) that are not about a Jedi or Sith and have no interactions with famous people. As a rule, however, I agree with you. - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  01:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, non-hammy fanfic is very hard to find. You know of any? P.S. You're a Hyperspace member? Too cool, I wish I was. I would just love to participate in WTS... but I don't have the money nor the permission. - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  01:30, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * A pity they're so few. I probably couldn't keep up the expenses. I don't have a job, and I'm too chicken to ask my parents. I wouldn't use it enough to ask them to pay for it, and my Dad just retired so we aren't 'loaded' at the moment. I'll just have to wait until I get a job or something. Thank you for the push to do it, though, I probably will in the future. Extremely and Utterly Nervous Question to Ask the Sentient Punctuation Mark: ...Could you please click on the y on the 'Bird of Prey' on my sig and give me your general first impression...? Be as harsh as you want, I don't like people who beat around the bush (That's something I've never known you to do, so I don't have to worry). I swear I won't take offense. - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  01:49, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * You're actually reading it? Cool! Thank you for just reading it. I know it's a lot, and it's not even done and there's two more subsections to add... but thank you. And thank you for the upcoming opinion, whatever it is. - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  03:48, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! I must say, it's a lot better than I expected, mostly because of the Vong. You can probably tell that last year I studied European and American history, the story's rife with comparisons, probably a lot I'm not aware of. Thank you, I think... I think I will bring it up with them. I'll have to browse over it and come up with a sales pitch, but I think I'll give Hyperspace a shot. Mostly for WTS's sake. You've sold me... PS. I know that 'Shapeshfiter' is pretty dull, but it was already used in cannon sources (That's why the 'shifters call themselves the 'Shallar,' they don't even like 'Shapeshifter'). - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  02:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC) EDIT: How much does Hyperspace cost, both initially and weekly/monthly/yearly? I looked and couldn't find the answer. Thank you. - S  olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  02:18, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yes, I'm an American. You're an Aussie? Cool. $40 yearly? Plus Insider? That's not bad at all. I think I could do it. Lemme go browse Hyperspace some more... Thank you for the information! - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  04:11, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I'll get Dad to look over it in the morning... it's almost midnight over here. Um, when you did that [melodrama] part I couldn't help but image it being said with Vader's voice... weird... - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  04:22, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I finally got the nerve to ask Dad, and he said he'd look it over. Thank you for the reference and the info! - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  17:24, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Eh, Dad looked it over and said no. Well, can't say I didn't try. Maybe when I can pay for it myself, but at the moment I can't. I'll keep it in mind, though. - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  23:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Moving of comments

 * Hey, sorry to move your comments, but whe I saw your and Riff's comments, I realized that if a lot of people made comments in the vote section it would end up being very messy. So I figured I'd make a policy restricting comments to the talk page. It was not meant as a personal attack or censorship of any kind. Also I don't blame you for doing anything wrong, since I came up with the policy after I saw your comments (In a way, I ought to thank you and Riff ;-) ) It's simply to prevent the vote page from becoming too messy. I hope you understand. Peace. KEJ 10:30, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * RE: comment on my talk page. Okay, "policy"'s not a good word. Then call it a rule for the individual contest. Sorry for causing you any inconvenience KEJ 10:35, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * RE: comment on my talk page. I own nothing on this wiki, I'm just trying to prevent the page from becoming too messy. (btw, are you watching my talk page? If you are, there's no need for me to post my replies here) KEJ 10:41, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * RE: comment on my talk page: I'm more of an advocator of communicating on each user's respective talk page: Well, In that case, I'll keep posting my replies on your talk page as well. Anyway, are you referring to the 'dos and don'ts' guideline that says that one should take it to the CT if one wants to change an existing policy? I've just skimmed through the official policies-pages, but I can't find any official policies regarding voting competitions. Can you point me to them? KEJ 11:03, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * RE: comment on my talk page: It seems there is no real policies regarding the format of voting competitions "Coolest thing..." and "Miss Star Wars..." etc. It's my impression that in the "Miss/Mr Star Wars" competitions voters did not generally drop comments in the middle of the votes. Anyway, we could discuss from here till the end of the world about the form of whatever de facto standard policies we might have. I don't think there is a standard policy or even a general status quo, since these competitions have been very adhoc-ish till now. However, since they appear to be becoming more and more common place, I think we need a de jure policy. I'll take it to the CT right away. KEJ 11:25, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * So KEJ moved the comments to the talk page because they were cluttering the votes up. Big deal. You don't need a rule that says you can or cannot do that, especially for a non-wiki-altering contest vote thingy for fun. There are some instances where policy doesn't need to be enforced. -- Riffsyphon1024 11:31, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Talk page templates
Are you seriously going to tag every page's talk with that template. I would have it activate on new pages so as to not throw off users looking for complaints to articles only to find a blank page. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:36, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah. No what I was doing was just clicking away at Random article, cleaning up any article I come across, and adding the talkpage header to each respective talkpage. If it's a problem, I can limit the addition of template to pre-exsisting talk pages. .  .  .  .  08:44, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Yea, that's what I meant. Only apply it to existing talk pages. -- Riffsyphon1024 08:50, 8 January 2007 (UTC)

You a Futurama fan?
If you're not I suggest you remove the quotes, but I assume you are from those. I am too. Are you looking forward to the feature length straight-to-DVD Futurama episodes coming out (hopefully) later this year/2008? Assuming you have heard of course..... Jagged Fel, the man formerly known as Humorbot'  (Yo!)''


 * Yeah, not very many people noticed that...And If they did they didn;t say anything. I'm in England, so I first saw Futurama on Channel 4, me and my brother originally watched it, simply cos we needed somethign to watch, it looked attractive enough considering it was made by the same people as Simpsons. But Channel 4 was ridiculously slow at getting new episodes, so we'd bought Season 3 and Season 4 on the days they had come out before we'd seen any of them. (Thats the DVD seasons not the TV seasons.) I find the most emotional episode to be "Jurassic Bark" (the one with Fry's dog) embarassingly enough the end brings me to tears from time to time. I prefer Futurama to Simpsons for loads of reasons and thats just one of them. Simpsons has never made me feel even remotely sad (nor has it really made me laugh very hard) but yeah, "The Why Of Fry" was a very good episode, although I wouldn't normally have reccomended it as a startoff episode as it has references to lots of previous episodes which would make me think that I had missed something when watching it. But whatever floats your boat I suppose.  Jagged Fel,  the man formerly known as Humorbot'  (Yo!)''[[Image:JagFel.jpg|20px]]


 * Even so, "The Why of Fry" really needed "The Day the Earth Stood Stupid" and I for one do not think the Pilot was Futurama at its best in any way shape or form. I don't think I have seen that episode of Simpsons so its not surprising that I can't think of any emotional Simpson episodes. Jagged Fel 21:43, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Fair enough...Although I find it quite surprising that none of the episodes prior to the Why of Fry captivated you... Jagged Fel 21:49, 8 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Futurama is a great show! But "Jurassic Bark" made me so emotional, I felt a tear. Sob! Sir You Know My Name, N.K.-S.R.T. 06:29, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I'm sorry, I just had to comment on your comment on the 'Lamest thing ever page.' Kueller De'vil cracked me up. - S olus  (Bird of Pre  y)  23:39, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Creativity
I think your custom signature, which is very unique and useful in its own right, is being threatened. You won't be able to have the black background or links to your contributions anymore. Forum:Sig policy revisited It might sound like eccentric nitpickery to care this much about it, but I like your sig, and don't want to see it go to waste. Note: I am not trying to vote-farm. By the way, what kind of music do you like? I know that you like classical, specifically John Williams (as do I). \/  ladius  |\/|agnum  15:58, 14 January 2007 (UTC)

Good Articles.
You seem to know good articles when you see them. Could you tell me what to improve on the Tott Doneeta's page and on this page I would be very thankful if you could tell me what to do with them. They are my "pet projects" as it were... Jagged Fel, (Yo!)
 * Right thanks....I put Skreej up for the Good Article thing. I don't suppose you could I Identify the parts of Tott Doneeta that need to be changed to past tense? So I can change it. I'ma bout to go over it for spelling mistakes so I might see some changes that are needed then. Thanks again. Jagged Fel,  (Yo!)[[Image:JagFel.jpg|20px]]
 * Ha! Forget it, going through it and looking closely has allowed me to see all the present tense sentences. I'll deal with them now. Thanks anyway. Jagged Fel,  (Yo!)[[Image:JagFel.jpg|20px]]
 * How is it looking now? Jagged Fel,  (Yo!)[[Image:JagFel.jpg|20px]]

Star Wars Missions
Hey, I saw you were working on the Star Wars Missions books, and I've come to ask a favor. Could you perhaps give a quick summary of what Zuckuss' role is in  Star Wars Missions 11: Bounty Hunters vs. Battle Droids. I'd like to make his article as complete as possible.
