My RfA

My RfA recently closed and it was a success, passing at 84-02-00. I would like to thank you for taking the time to weigh in and on your subsequent support. And I know it's quite cliche, but if you ever need any assistance and/or want another opinion on something, grab a Pepsi and don't hesitate to drop me a line on my talk page. Thanks again.

Thanks

Thanks for the message. I will join. talk

My RfA

	My RfA
	Thank you for supporting/opposing/commenting on my request of adminship, sadly the result was 54/20/7 an thus only 73% support votes, resulting in that the nomination failed. As many of you commenting that I have to few main-space edits, I'll try to better my self on that part. If you have any ideas on what kind of articles I could edit, pleas send me a line. :)	→AzaToth 09:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

WPSW

I agree; we need to start the marketing plan again either tonight or tomorrow. — Deckiller 23:30, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Probably, it's coming along well (doing the prose a little by little in microsoft word. — Deckiller 03:29, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm in a position of "power" in a fan club (Star Wars Unlimited Fan Club) and we're working on marketing plans and whatnot. Tomorrow, I might introduce some of the techniques and all, but I'm getting tired :) Any ideas on your end? — Deckiller 03:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism

I've blocked over 130 IP addresses, lol...— Deckiller 03:34, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

POV?

Please parlay previous ponderings- Personally, POV pushing present? Pshaw! RE4 previously purloined is paramount, Square pursuing Gamecube purchases? Pfaffly!

Nintendo 128 (disproven)

Nintendo Page needs to mention more on the early operations of nintendo a perfect job for Jedi6 sorry for nintendo 128 codename mistake i found out that was a name only coined deep within nintendo

Nintendo

You certainly deserved the comments I placed on the Nintendo page. Misplaced Pages is a place that's (by and large) populated by a small number of good editors like you, and a massive influx of vandals and people hell-bent on placing "Wookies forever!" into random articles. Keep up the good work, Jedi6, and if you need any assistance with the Nintendo article again (if Jean Luc keeps up his reverts) let me know. Cheers- Daniel Davis 05:25, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

External Links in @sses

Since when did Wiki say we can't have our own external links...ofcourse we can!

We can add external links, but must explain what the link is...the link must not lead to virus or p0rn sites...if it does it will lead to banning!

>x<ino 12:09, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

You know...you better watch your @ss >:@

I understand you deleting the External Links, section. But even deleting the link to the website I created!? Even the links to the site I created weren't even under the section of External Links. Now that is just really rude!

WikiProject

Sounds like a good idea. It will have to be really hyped and interesting to all people (I.E. some people will write prose, others will do research, others will copyedit, others will add pics, and so on.) We don't have to assign tasks, but we should really hype things up and go down the checklist. We may wanna wait until I bring the MoS into a wikipedia document (which is WAY behind schedule, I know, but it's getting close). — Deckiller 20:41, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

We have to stay away from articles like Palpatine. We have to pick an article that won't be the source of a lot of fancruft. I'd say we pick something like one of the video games. The video game articles (well, some of them) have too much gaming information, which isn't allowed on the site. — Deckiller 20:48, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

The movies would also work well.

I've been thinking that, along the lines, we should create a series of "sub-projects" devoted to various tasks. Users strong in video games can be apart of a Star Wars Videogame subproject, which will have its own manual of style. We could also have a list subproject, which works on making sure the lists are concise, complete, logical/organized, and referenced. — Deckiller 20:53, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Which is exactly why subprojects may be necessary (I mean, look at Final Fantasy; it's a subdivision of WPCVG and it has a few subprojects). Also, I do agree about making sure that we have some active members continuing to edit, hence "along the lines". — Deckiller 20:59, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Oh, I'm not saying seperate projects. What I mean is that we'll have major subproject (but more like collaboration) points, such as lists and games. It's mainly for organizational purposes. Also, we don't really have to worry about quantity as much as quality; WPFF has a few core members, which is what we'll have to build first. It's like a buisness; there's various departments devoted to people's strengths (of course, people are involved in multiple departments in many cases). There are many ways we can do this. However, like you and me said before, we should definiately wait at least a month. — Deckiller 04:05, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

For clarification, this concept of subprojects was brought up as a future plan, when we have a large body of active members and the Todo list grows extremely large. This may never happen (though it's possible). — Deckiller 04:09, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, perhaps a video game section, movie section, lists section, and so on. We can talk with the others about how to present duties and categories, but perhaps we should focus on making sure our core group stays strong before taking care of that. — Deckiller 04:14, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Nintendo Revolution

All set! — Deckiller 21:16, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Any registered user can move pages, I believe. — Deckiller 21:19, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, 25 edits to get away with the move. Any logged in user can move a page, though the 25 Edit Rule is often applied (and it should really be applied in this case). If he does it again, I'll give him a warning. — Deckiller 22:30, 28 March 2006 (UTC)

DaGizza's RfA

Hi Jedi6, thank you for supporting me in my RfA which passed with a tally of (93/1/2). If you need any help or wish discuss something with me, you are always welcome to talk to me. Gizza 12:01, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Subdivisions

Honestly, perhaps we don't even have to go by content. We can have a group of project members collaborate on lists, while another group collaborates on articles. Just a thought; I'll develop some more ideas once school ends in about 2 minutes :) — Deckiller 18:44, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Format

Sure, go ahead. It was really Sango who did the major formatting though :) — Deckiller 20:23, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Membership

I agree. I'm in the middle of working on the sim universe for the Star Wars Online Fan Club (SWU) that I'm HCAA of, though I should be around Wiki off and on throughout the night. — Deckiller 00:33, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot

SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Misplaced Pages better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 04:56, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

My (HereToHelp’s) RfA

Thank you for supporting my RfA. I’m proud to inform you that it passed with 75 support to 1 oppose to 2 neutral. I promise to make some great edits in the future (with edit summaries!) and use these powers to do all that I can to help. After all, that’s what I’m here for! (You didn’t think I could send a thank you note without a bad joke, could I?) --HereToHelp 12:57, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Nomination

My Eyes- The Goggles do nothing!

User_talk:Pagrashtak#My_Eyes_Are_Open

Daniel Davis 03:19, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

In a nutshell

Pagrashtak and I had a disagreement over ESRB logos. 1. I posted a message about it, and soon after begin to get smashed repeatedly by attack IM (Yahoo and AIM) messages.

2. I thought they were from Pagrashtak so I posted some things I'm not proud of to the ESRB page...

3. But after some back-and-forthing (and a rather appropriate word of warning to me from several people), Pagrashtak and I discussed the issue and he told me that he hadn't been the one harassing me over the IM.

4. During this time Rick Browser begins to pop in (along with an anon IP that traces to Brazil4Linux) and post personal attacks on me here on Misplaced Pages- revealing that Rick Browser had been the one that was doing the goading this entire time.

Jedi, I'm not proud of my conduct regarding the ESRB article at all, but I think things are settled for the most part now. I've apologized to Pagrashtak about the whole thing, and now we know the identity of another Brazil4Linux sockpuppet.

So.. some good came of it. Daniel Davis 04:39, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Welcome back

Heya. MoS is in progress: User:Deckiller/WikiProject Star Wars/Manual of style. Also, make sure you accept your nomination; we can't vote until you do :) — Deckiller 14:07, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Greetings Jedi, how are you? Thanks for your support in my RFA. The final vote count was (88/3/1), so I am now an administrator. Please let me know if at any stage you require assistance, or if you have comments on how I am doing as an administrator. Once again thank you and with kind regards Gryffindor 18:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Thank you

Thank you for your vote of confidence in my recent request for bureaucratship. Even though it didn't pass, I greatly appreciate your support and hope I will continue to have your respect. Thank you! Flcelloguy (A note?) 22:59, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

RfA

Ready to accept? ^_^ — Deckiller 23:18, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

I'd say 51/4/2 most likely. Just a random guess :) — Deckiller 23:54, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Your RfA

I've added some questions to your RfA. When you have a minute, I'd appreciate some replies. Thanks. JoshuaZ 00:01, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Bot

Looks cool, I'll have to try it sometime. — Deckiller 00:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Your RFA/my oppose vote

I normally look for at least 1300 edits, evenly spread out, but for half of your edits to have come in March is too... rushed, if anything. I'd prefer 1658 edits over two months (roughly 800 in each) than alll in one. Also, I nomally look for 10-15% project edits. NSLE _(T+C) at 01:57 UTC (2006-04-03)

There once was a foulmouth'd opposing

Just thought you should know... the reason why Rick Browser is opposing you in your RFA is because he's a sock of Brazil4Linux. There's a CheckUser out on him right now; when it comes back Rick's vote will be erased, as banned users and sock puppets are prohibited from voting. Cheers! Daniel Davis 06:57, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Checkuser came back. It's him. Daniel Davis 07:33, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

RfA

Hey. If your percentage doesn't get over 75 percent in the next day, I recommend withdrawing and waiting a couple of months. A lot of users think that the RfA nomination is a bit premature, but it's still possible to gain support on this one. — Deckiller 11:21, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

RFA Thanks

Thank you for your support vote on my RFA. The final result was a successful request based on 111 support and 1 oppose. --CBDunkerson 14:59, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Star Wars

OK. Esaborio 18:45, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Hello Jedi6: Thank you for supporting me in my RfA, which passed with a final tally of 77/3/0. I hope I can perform at the standards expected for administrators. If I make any mistakes, or you need anything, please let me know. Prodego 01:17, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Recent vote

The most recent oppose, Phair, may be a B4L sockpuppet. — Deckiller 03:12, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Our RfAs

Hi Jedi6. Just a quick note to thank you for your support in my RfA, which recently passed 62/13/6. I will do my very best live up to this new responsibility and to serve the community, but please let me know if I make any mistakes or if you have any feedback at all on my actions. Finally, if there is anything that I can assist you with - please don't hesitate to ask. Cheers TigerShark 03:58, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Phair

I've placed a section about Phair onto Misplaced Pages's Admin Noticeboard. Feel free to visit it and leave a comment. A user evading a block is one thing, attempting to use it to tamper with an RFA vote is another matter entirely. Daniel Davis 06:16, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

The problem with putting down another checkuser request is that they are very, very difficult for users to perform. There are literally less than five administrators that have the checkuser ability, and a checkuser action requires time and effort, according to Misplaced Pages Help.

Given the nature of this new sockpuppet (the evidence and the lack of his posts), placing the notice on the Admin NoticeBoard is SUPPOSED to alert the admins to his activity, so they can take action. If nobody at the least responds to the request I've placed by tomorrow, I will have no choice but to put out another CheckUser request. Daniel Davis 23:24, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I would've given you guys a greater hand in this matter, but I feel that I've already encorached into this issue so much that it might be best for more admins to get involved. — Deckiller 23:27, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

I appreciate what you've done Deckiller- it's just that, given how freaking long we've been fighting against B4L and his associated sockpuppets, it would be nice if the admins would at least say SOMETHING on the noticeboard page regarding Phair. Whether to agree or disagree is fine, but to completely ignore the section put up (especially since the sock is committing vote fraud) is disheartening. Daniel Davis 23:36, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Legacy of the Force

I though the titles are too ambiguous. For example, I've found a D&D book also named "Betrayal", and some others containing the same subtitles. I thought it's better named as "Legacy of the Force: Betrayal" to avoid confusion.--PatCheng 23:13, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

OK, what about moving from Title (book) to Title (novel), since all the other one-word SW books are named this way?--PatCheng 23:20, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Re: Who is David?

Haha, possibly. David on Wheels! Thanks for taking to the time to leave that message. I appreciate it! -- RattleMan 00:35, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

Image:WikiDS.png

About your post on Deckiller's talk page on the WikiDS image; I think it has been fully released, as the uploader states that he created it. I even made a nifty userbox for it.

Cheers (and good luck on the admin nominations)! _-M P-_ 05:01, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
