''Riff experienced a Blue Screen of Death on his computer. He finally restarted his computer on the day of the Mofference, November 10, 2006. and things appear normal. The root cause was probably due to a disconnection of a printer from the PC, causing a malfunction in the OS. However the system started right up, but eventually noted a "serious error" occured, and I must be seriously losing it. This frame in time will now be known as the Dark Age (8/26/06-11/10/06)''.

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. "This was written by a bunch of nerds. Take off the shrink wrap and use your tool!"

- My female friend who gets on me for this site. :)

Adminship
I became an administrator of SWW on March 16, 2005. I was enacted the second bureaucrat of Wookieepedia on February 14, 2006. Can you feel the love?

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, but since that was already taken on SW.com, I am darthrifficus there. 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. Another Darth name of interest might be Realgar.

For the Darth Who Contest, I submitted Darth Lycinis as a name. It is a combination of the words "lie", "sin", and "lycan" referencing Jacen Solo's experiences with wyrwulves and personality traits of most other Sith Lords.

Side Project
I have started the new Back to the Future wiki, Futurepedia. Any interested in creating new 4th dimensional articles on everything BTTF are welcome to help out.

I even help out a tad on The Star Wars Merchandise Wiki.

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
"Well um, hmm, Riff thinks I have a voice like Dexter."
 * Anons who revert other anons.
 * Anons who underestimate the power of the wiki, and end up getting banned as soon as they started vandalizing.
 * The amount of -ooine and -aan planets.
 * Examples for -ooines include: Tatooine, Dantooine, Ventooine, Klatooine, Handooine, Entooine, Cardooine, Mantooine, Minntooine, Reltooine, Sestooine, 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, Aeonz, Anarcus, Antilles, Awesome, Barrack, Batticus, Benobi, Brandon, Cow, Chicken Joe, Culator, Danny 12345, Evil, Fear, Fisto, Fistula, Fizyk, FreshPrince11, Fury, Gecko, Hutt, Intrepidus, Jenny, Kakarot, Less, Malice, Malist, Malus, Mantus, McBig, Monkey, Nihilus5, Paul, Penguin, Nemesis555, Nuke, Oblivion, Ocean, Ollor, Onslaught, Rabbit, Rage, Reaper, Reklivek, Revan Reborn, Saito, Sinew, Smith, Shatner (though may not be one of ours, was interesting), Sidious889, Steves, Tader, Teal, Tuna, Tyler, Vader2.0, Validus, Vatrir, Vengen, Zjyslav Moose, and of course Vader) Will somebody get these guys a life? :P
 * Users who go by character, location, or actor names (i.e. 95 Headhunter, Aayla Secura, AdmThrawn, Alderaan, Anakin Skywalker, Anakin Skywalker Jr., Benkenobi84, Benkenobi151, Bobafett122005, Borsk Fey'lya, Cade Skywalker, Cato Neimoidia, CptKenobi, Darth Nihilus5, Darthsidious889, General Kenobi, Emperor, EmperorPalpatine, Ghorfa, Jabba the Hut, Jacen Solo Jedi Master, Jaina Solo, User:JainaSolo32, Jaster, Jorg Sacul, KeiranHalcyon, Kwenn, KypFisto, Lady Tarkin, Liam Neeson, Lord Krayt, Lord Nihilus, Lorth Needa, Luminara, Maaul, Master Halcyon, MaulYoda, MaxVeers, MoffRebus, ObiKenobi, Order 66, Ozzel, Padme829, Palpy, Prince Xizor, Remoh, Revan821, Rune Haako, San Hill, Scorch, Skywalker, Skywalka, Veers, and Voolvif Monn just to name a few.) Though I must add that 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.
 * Dashed Jedi names, as if they're all from the same place: Obi-Wan Kenobi, Qui-Gon Jinn, and now Chu-Gon Dar, Belsed-Qan Idan, and Bodis-Ker Vitan. We still don't know where the first two come from which is beyond odd.
 * That Wookieepedia on Wikipedia was nominated for deletion per WP:WEB as spam. Thankfully it was speedy kept.
 * That Tyber Zann was based in appearance on the actor who plays Lucius Malfoy from the Harry Potter movies (Jason Issacs). Is it postulated that this reference may place Issacs in a forthcoming role in the TV series as Tyber Zann himself? See also Talk:Tyber Zann.
 * That suspension of disbelief is fun to think about.
 * Darth Culator's user page.
 * That I am a Warsie.
 * That we somehow don't have articles for the inevitably to be released.
 * That I am one that wants to keep everything on the wiki, a true inclusionist to the core.
 * Why didn't I attend Celebration III in Indianapolis, only 400 miles away, not 2000?
 * Who would substitute for Ambak, Blaylock, Cronau, and Mezzicanley?
 * That the Givin are truely the coolest species for being mathematically advanced.
 * That I wouldn't eat Ugorian food.
 * If I could be like Michael Tandre and become a species' spiritual leader on a distant planet nearly overnight.
 * That users consistently get younger and younger, down to 10 years. Is this where we need to be heading?
 * Mineral does not always equal material.
 * Palpy had way too much time on his hands writing the Dark Side Compendium as each book would take 96 standard hours to read, a total of 288 standard hours.
 * Fanboys!
 * Riffsyphon
 * The Burning sounds horrible.
 * I might consider a visit to Vaathkree.
 * Star Wars: Demolition was where it was at in 2000.
 * That people still can't spell "Wookieepedia".
 * That 107 users still can't spell "Wookieepedia". :C
 * Dor is geologically fascinating.
 * That controversial users still ask about becoming administrators.
 * Guestbooks. I don't really favor them, but whatever.
 * Tiran = Einstein
 * I have never seen or heard anything like the Wookiee-Cast but I'm hooked on the Dexter-like voice of 4dot.

- Wookiee-Cast III 5:18-5:24


 * The Albino Cyclops is one ugly creature.
 * Some people gotta understand that Wookiee porn consisting of Mermeia was the latest thing in that day.

Some calculations
Taking a bit from MarcK and Darth Culator, I am curious as to how many new individuals we can expect from the Star Wars live-action TV series.

Assuming that there are 100 episodes at 45 minutes each (with commercials), that equivilates to 37.5 movies of equal time at 2 hours long each. If each movie at 2 hours is capable of producing roughly 500 new characters, both main and background, then it could be extrapolated that 37.5 movies worth of episodes times 500 characters = about 18,750 new characters! Whoa...

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: Water, Snake, Groundquake, Number system, Tattoos, Radiation, Carbon dioxide, Mercury, Silicon, Platinum, Magnetite, and all sorts of other elements and compounds. The reasoning is: if they are mentioned in any source, they exist in the GFFA
 * Managing the load of Legacy stuff coming in, all while being careful enough to avoid plotlines too sticky of a nature.

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.

Introduction to Star Wars
Steven first remembered Star Wars not from the big screen as many had before him, but rather the family VHS system, to which he repeatedly watched them until they were worn out. Over time he obtained toys here and there. It was not until 1997, when the Special Edition released in theaters that he was able to enjoy the saga the way it was meant to be viewed. From here on out Steven was a faithful fan. During the first movies of the prequel trilogy, Steven collected more items, but was interested more by his failed attempts to win prizes (other than free food) playing the Use the Force game at various restaurants.

By the time Attack of the Clones released in 2002, Steven had a fondness for detailed information on the saga, so much as to purchase the Incredible Cross Sections and Inside the Worlds of reference books. This fed his interest for knowledge of the immense universe that George Lucas and many other Expanded Universe authors created. However, he felt he never had time to read novels, and was a visual person, stimulated by images.

Although he was a fan of the saga, he did not wait outside movie theaters for openings of the prequels at midnight, nor did he collect everything imaginable, to prove to others that you can still be a fan without being a fanatic.

Recently however, he has a fondness for collecting Star Wars action figures. Steven invited many users himself via Wikipedia, TheForce.Net and the social networking site Myspace of which Steven is also a member, using his large Star Wars group there for recruitment and spreading the word. (As of December 2006, that group has reached 35,000 members, however, it should be noted that only 10 percent of its members are regularly active.)

Wookieepedia grows
To help with the many article creations and edits that the wiki received on a daily basis, Steven purchased more reference books, particularly the Essential Guides, and some issues of Star Wars Insider. For the time that he could contribute, Steven added many articles and fixed plenty of errors with spelling, grammar, tense, adding categories, stubs, images, and fixed code problems. In addition, Steven's administrator powers helped him delete many pages, ban many vandals, and protect a few pages in hotly-contested disputes.

With Wikipedia behind him, Steven gave up trying to keep up with the constant changes and errors of Wikipedians and Star Wars material, where it was not strictly enforced as it is here. He would then try to make Wookieepedia more than just another wiki by brainstorming new concepts up in his Thinktank, including a premise for Wookieenews, which would combine with TFN to inform users about various happenings around the Star Wars fanbase, in addition to related stories (the concept has not merged with TFN as proposed but has held its own as the primary news source for Wookieepedians).

Identifying with Star Wars
As the success of the Wookieepedia grew, Steven felt more comfortable about being a fan, since most fans would fall under the classic nerdy stereotype, which he was. However, he began to embrace it and announce it proudly. He went from a "casual non-hardcore fan" (for example, waiting days to see one of the movies) to a "rather large fan on the verge of obsession". He was Darth Vader for the first time on Halloween, and even considered joining the 501st Legion, however his costume is still below standards for the organization. He found that some people into Star Wars had heard about Wookieepedia through word of mouth or had actually been there.

His fandom has become problematic however, as for the first time, Steven fell below a 3.0 for his GPA and lost his college scholarship. Hopefully, he can leave the full sanctity of the wiki and work on passing his classes in the future, although having an eye on it at all times.

Recent
Over the summer of 2006, Steven had more time to contribute and interestingly enough, returned to Wikipedia to work on more career-related articles, but slowed down once again due to classes in the fall. With the fall semester past, another opportunity to catch up became apparent, and the winter break brought increased contributions.

Steven is now serious about Los Angeles and Celebration IV. He has support from across the nation to represent Wookieepedia as well as his Myspace Star Wars group. There was even discussion to raise donations and send them to a Paypal account, however the idea is not favored by everyone. Stay tuned...
