Threads of Destiny
Could you please add enough third-party references to the article on the fanfilm "Threads of Destiny" to allow us to verify its notability according to our policy Notability of fan projects? All of the links I could follow appear to belong to people affiliated with the project. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 13:57, 26 July 2008 (UTC)

Re:Images
Why not? --Commander Chris 16:46, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * If you're asking why CopyrightedFreeUse is the wrong template to use on screenshots, it's because that template says that the copyright holder has given permission to anyone to use it for any purpose. The correct one to use for screenshots is Film-screenshot, since we don't have specific permission to use those pictures, but believe we can use them on Wookieepedia according to the "fair use" copyright provisions. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 21:44, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

HI SILLY!!!
My page is underconstruction and im bacc from retirement. sir forgive me for what i did and give me back my old user page!!!!i was originally named mas1@ a year ago when i was banned from wookiepedia.i know what ur thinking, "i should delete this new account he made", but im not going to vandalize any longer. i thiught long and hard and finally got some advice "what would jesus do" and im hear begging you to please let me have my spot back on the most in depth and accurate star wars information site availible! i love star wars to death and knowing of my past record i have been put on probation for the vandalism by Judge Lucas. now i just made this new account i want to bring it to its past glory so please help me to perfect my user page please! --Steezin4ever 19:16, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
 * Three things:
 * Your original username, User:Mas1@, hasn't been blocked. You were warned several times that you risked being blocked if you continued doing certain things, but your original account is still usable.  (And, according to our policies, trying to use two accounts at a time may lead to one or both of them being blocked, so you may want to go back to the old one.) I don't know who this "Judge Lucas" person you're talking about is: if it's an admin on another wiki, we have nothing to do with it.
 * Your original userpage won't be restored: Darth Culator judged it to violate our policies (specifically the user page policy and What Wookieepedia is not). Under Administrative autonomy, he's responsible for deciding if it can be restored or not. I don't see any grounds for restoring it myself, and I strongly suspect he won't either.  To be brutally honest, Wookieepedia is not about the user pages, and people who mostly want to work on their user pages are usually not well received here.
 * Don't call me "Silly." The reason why should be obvious. It's "Silly Dan", "Dan", or "SD" on this wiki. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 22:28, 27 August 2008 (UTC)

Sorry
I am sorry that wasn't what I meant to do. I was trying to create a new page, but then the name Rydarian came up and it brought me to that page and I assumed it was what I was trying to do. What I WAS trying to do was to add a species that George Lucas had expressed interest in making, but he decided against it, I think they were called the Allarians or something like that, so sorry for editing the Rydarian page, and I wish to ask permission to make the Allarian page. If that is ok with you
 * You should only do so if you have an official source of some sort. If you don't even remember the exact name of the species in question, you probably shouldn't write about it. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 21:39, 29 August 2008 (UTC)

how do get on irc
when i go onto irc it says cannot find server
 * If the instructions on IRC don't help you, I can't help you either. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 21:59, 8 September 2008 (UTC)

Banner Ads
Hi Dan, I can't help but notice on every page I click, without fail, I get a banner ad and never a box ad on the SW Wiki. Can you explain this, because I'd like to do this over at Redwall. I cannot get a box ad at SW no matter what page I click, so I know something is going on. --LordTBT Talk! 02:47, 25 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Most articles on our wiki have an infobox template like Galactic Empire character infobox and/or the eras template Eras. I'm not an expert on the subject, but it seems that something in those templates interferes with Wikia's ad code and forces the ads to be banner ads instead.  There may be more information in our forum archives, or on the central Wikia wiki. Sorry I can't be more specific. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 11:50, 25 September 2008 (UTC)

RE: Naming
Thanks for pointing it out to me. I sometimes forget to double check what others have already listed. * Cylka * 17:44, 18 October 2008 (UTC)

Old republic is on gamespot ya stupid fucker
http://www.gamespot.com/pc/rpg/starwarstheoldrepublic/images.html?om_act=convert&om_clk=gsimage&tag=images;img;4

Ffs just search instead of doing afd. Fucking moron.
 * You'll note that I did vote to keep the article: I only recommended against prematurely assuming a title. Besides, even if that article had been on gamespot last year, we wouldn't have accepted the title until it was officially confirmed.  I urge you to think before leaving angry messages next time. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 20:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

doggy terms
I may have overlooked it, but in the ANH novel when Luke drives into Toschi Station isnt there a dog mentioned?

the terms "hound" and "pup/puppy" frequently occur in Marvel Comics. I added the Marvel issues to the appearances as. The term "hound" is first used in Issue 11, the terms pup/puppy are in issues 12, 36, 37. Note that on Monastery Vader frequently addresses Luke, insultingly, as "Puppy", apparently due to his youth and inexperience in contrast to Vader's mastery.JustinGann 22:11, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

I think in Marvel "Hounds" is usually applied to human(oid)s who are hunting people on behalf of someone else, like calling pirates Crimson Jack's hounds, thus invoking both the hunting aspect of dogs and the loyal follower aspect.JustinGann 03:53, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Well that's lame.
But thanks for letting me know.

By the way, are we not supposed to add ((1st)) tags to articles with sole appearances? Because Graestan says it's unnecessary, which I agree with, but I don't see what's wrong if they are there. It just saves work in my opinion if they do get added in something else later. But if there is a policy about it, i'll stop doing it. -- Cato Neimoidia 01:14, 5 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The result from Forum:CT Archive/Era tags is only lame if we assume the era tags serve an IU purpose. If they are only there as an OOU guide to where the character appears in literature, it makes perfect sense.  As for the 1st tags, I don't think they're necessary for single-appearance characters who don't have anything listed under "Sources", but I don't feel too strongly about it, and I'm not sure that there's a policy.  Cheers, &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 01:30, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Yoda's species
I don't think anyone missed it. Its an unnamed species, and there is a separate list for those speciesJustinGann 10:10, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Now that it's got an IU nickname at least, it seems safe to put it on the list. &mdash;Silly Dan (talk) 12:47, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Vader
Vader was rebuilt as a robot after the Mustafar Duel like that robotic maniac Grievous. Admit it.(Ironmam 23:43, 17 November 2008 (UTC))
