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 is 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.

Things I find interesting on Wookieepedia

Wookieepedia-specific

You've never seen a Lucas this cool!
You've never seen a Lucas this cool!
  • Anons who revert other anons.
  • Anons who underestimate the power of the wiki, and end up getting banned as soon as they started vandalizing.
  • 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.
  • Users who go by character, location, or actor names.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • That Wookieepedia on Wikipedia was nominated for deletion per WP:WEB as spam. Thankfully it was speedy kept.
  • That suspension of disbelief is fun to think about.
  • Darth Culator's user page.
  • 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.
  • That users consistently get younger and younger, down to 10 and 11 years! Is this where we need to be heading?
  • Mineral does not always equal material.
  • That people still can't spell "Wookieepedia".
  • That 117 users still can't spell "Wookieepedia". :C
  • That controversial users still ask about becoming administrators.
  • Guestbooks. I don't really favor them, but whatever.
  • I have never seen or heard anything like the Wookiee-Cast but I'm hooked on the Dexter-like voice of 4dot. If he only knew which one I was talking about.
"Well um, hmm, Riff thinks I have a voice like Dexter."
―Wookiee-Cast III 5:18-5:24
  • Vandals that return a year later as redeemed users?
  • Yea I created the 50,000th article, Solitaire. It's not much but it's canon and that's what counts.
  • The Other Wookieepedia [1]
  • jSarek was the published question to Leland Chee in Star Wars Insider 96's Q&A section regarding Conan Antonio Motti's canon status, revealing his original name to be "Zi Motti" before Lucas intervened. Shown as "Sarek", he asked "How have you decided to treat the "Conan Antonio Motti" name... for Holocron purposes? Is it just another joke, or are you taking it a bit more seriously than that?" It was originally questioned on the SW.com forums on May 16, 2007.
    • This being said, I have found an instance of "Zi Motti" in Death Star while he talks to Admiral Jaim Helaw.
  • Interestingly enough, I was the first to ask Leland (or anyone in a panel) at Celebration IV's continuity panel on May 26, 2007 about the canonicity of this name, to which he replied "it will be revealed eventually". The publication of Death Star's Dramatis Personae and the Insider issue was the "eventually" part.
  • Do some users have a tendency to automatically vote with the most important person and not necessarily via a valid reason of their own?
  • I was almost deleted.
"Do you even get paid to do this stuff?"
―The most commonly encountered question that I hear.

Canon

That children in the GFFA play with clone trooper and battle droid action figures just like we do.

Some calculations

An example of counting the bodies: article
An example of counting the bodies: article

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...

If this show goes to 400 episodes as Rick McCallum has hoped, that number would quadruple to 75,000 characters.

Wookiee-Google growth

  • As of September 9, 2007, "Wookieepedia" gets 339,000 total hits on Google, with 164,000 being external and non-Wookieepedia site hits. [2].
  • November 25, 2007, "Wookieepedia" gets 383,000 total hits, with 184,000 from the website itself.
  • In an odd reversal, as of February 3, 2008, "Wookieepedia" gets 197,000 total hits.
  • March 4: 201,000 total hits, 119,000 external
  • April 12: 201,000 total hits, no change
  • June 27: 354,000 total hits, with 177,000 of those being internal

  • 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, 2006, 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, X-ray, Gamma ray, 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.
