Hi
Hi my name is shaun bradly hunter

I dun know you but hi

Question
Hey man, how do you know what all the species were before they became Zerg?

Rabidman 10:17, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Answer
Well, I'm an alien species fanatic, and my mind is like a sieve in order to contain knowledge on so many species. ...That being said, several Zerg strains (specifically, the Drones, Overlords, Zerglings, Hydralisks, Mutalisks, Ultralisks, Guardians, Queens, and, technically, the Defilers) were all listed in the manual for StarCraft. And yes, it is officially "StarCraft" as of SCII; before that, both spellings (that and "Starcraft") were used by Blizzard. Expect all of these former species to be added shortly here - minus the Defilers, as they are "created from a mix of DNA from all other Zerg strains". Larvae and Cerebrates are both regular ol' Zergies, also. ...that quote is fake, by the way - I just wrote it out myself right now. But it's true. I need to get off my lazy keester and get on the SCII forums and request we get to see the origin species, as I've waited to see what they looked like - patiently, I might add - for over a decade now.

Holy Crap!
HOLY CRAP!!!... I had no idea how hard this Krypton thing would be. lol You should check it out, and leave a comment about it on my talk page. By the way, I'm no where close to being done. There are a lot of things I still need to work on, on it. So dont fully judge, just tell me what you think for starters.

Rabidman 16:41, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Please
Please, look (edit) this page: List of needed Articles - Gobi-Aoi 00:09, 29 March 2009 (UTC).
 * You got it. I can't do it right this second because I work in 10 minutes, but once I get back home it should be an easy task to complete. I could certainly overload that page with species names, too, I just have chosen not to because then it would seem a bit too large. I don't know about you, but I know hundreds upon hundreds of alien species. - Somarinoa 09:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Moons
Hello Somarinoa! I'm BlueFrackle, a new user (kind of new, started this month). Since you like to work in the Species, Character and Planet galleries, you may be interested to know that I've started a Moon Gallery. So far it's very small, containing only 9 moons (3 real ones - Callisto, Europa and Luna; 5 from Star Wars - Dxun, Endor, Nar Shaddaa, Rishi Moon and Yavin 4; and Sagan 4's Mason). If you know more (I'm sure you do) please add them or upload images so I can add them. Thank you very much! BlueFrackle 20:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You are?! How cool! I'm a great fan of Sagan 4, but I'm not a member, unfortunately, because I can't draw. BlueFrackle 21:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup!! I'm a pretty good friend to the admin, Hydro as well. I'm the one who started the huge descriptions of species (before me the most anyone would post is one to two paragraphs ever). I also fix grammar for others' submissions, add biome artwork on the wikia, maintain the topic about Alien Species Wikia on the Sagan IV forums, am the current taxonomy master for kingdoms and such, and, when I have the time, add species. In fact, I have five currently up on the forums that I did in the last few days, all but the last one currently are on page five of this topic. I've been a member since Sagan IV's first year. Not to mention I'm the one who single-handedly brought this wikia back from the brink of extinction, and I think all but the first maybe 200 articles have been made since I started rehauling the site; I'm essentially the next best thing to the administrator here. Glad to hear about more galleries - I made the Created Location Gallery today actually to move the space stations out of the planet gallery, as well. I'll start working on adding more to the Moon Gallery today as well.
 * Wow, that's being productive! Thank you! BlueFrackle 22:20, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

More of Sagan IV universe and desert worlds
Hello again, Somarinoa! I created pages for Sagan IV (now I'm spelling the "IV" correctly) and its neighbours of the Sagan System. Also expanded the "desert world" article, but it's still a stub, because the list I've added is not complete, so please add more desert planets if you know any. Thank you very much! BlueFrackle 01:31, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I was speaking to joey
I told him about my efforts to clean up spam here and he pointed out that we do not have eny Admins he suggested Voting for people to take this task on I dont think we should have one becuse theresis a lot to do I have something in mind we need bureaucrats Admins and rollbacks --Owen1983 16:08, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I'd certainly love an administration/moderator position myself - I was the one who brought the wikia back to life after its death in 2006. The only thing I could note really about a new admin is that then the main page could be altered; there are articles now that are amazingly well written and it was always sort of a little insulting I thought to the community at large, whatever it was like beforehand. But I'm all for a vote. If you care to have one, do let me know! I certainly have admin/mod experience behind me. - Somarinoa 23:28, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Admin rights
Hi Somarinoa -- thanks for your great work on this wiki! I've given you admin and bureaucrat rights on the wiki, after Owen indicated that the project didn't have an active admin. I've also given admin rights to Owen; he seems very eager to help, but please help to ensure that he doesn't overuse admin tools -- the buttons should always take second place to friendly cooperation and communication.

I've also unprotected the main page; as you pointed out, protecting a wiki from its own users is a pretty silly thing to do! -- we'd have undone it a long time ago if we'd realized it was fully protected without an active admin to undo it. Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 20:32, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! - Somarinoa 01:30, January 29, 2010 (UTC)hihihihihi

BlueFrackle
I beleive haning this user as a Bureacrat would be beneficial to this wiki--Owen1983 21:52, January 31, 2010 (UTC)
 * BlueFrackle does seem to do quite a bit on the wiki, so I don't think I'd mind if he gained Bureaucratical status as well. -- Somarinoa 11:22, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Idea
I was thinking of creating more in depth Information on the star trek universe ie planets starships episodes Owen1983 19:34, February 5, 2010 (UTC) Only reason I don't add more Star Trek stuff myself is because my real life friend Rabidman was originally planning on adding it all to figure out how to do wikia edits and such (which is also why I've done so few edits on them), but he hasn't really come back in a few years now, haha. -- Somarinoa 12:11, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I certainly agree with the planets, and starship adding as well although I have gone the opposite route with technologies for Star Wars (probably more because I don't copy+paste articles and don't want to do all the info on all the "Warsian" tech myself). As for episodes, are you referring to adding the information in a style of in-universe or real-universe? I could certainly understand adding, say, that war that ended with the destruction of Cardassia Prime, but as for episodes in terms of their title and a plot synopsis, I suppose you could although I would immediately associate episodes and movie information with the wikis for those projects (in Trek's case, Memory Alpha). Feel free to coax me along your route of thinking though, I am open to suggestion.

AvP Universe
Hey, Somarinoa. Would you mind if I took charge of cleaning up the AvP universe articles?Malys88 04:56, April 18, 2010 (UTC) -- Somarinoa 06:06, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, please be my guest. I figure that there are a lot of people here for AVP, Metroids, and a few other species like maybe the Na'vi now. I have been taking most of my time to try to add species - or at least image of species - that I figure no one else will take the time to add. Heck, I even went and watched Meet Dave and Aliens in the Attic just to write the articles for the Nilians and the Zirkonians, respectively. Unfortunately, that plus all the stuff I've been dealing with in real life has left me without much time for constantly fixing up the often-edited articles, so I would appreciate the assistance there. If you have any spelling or grammar questions, let me know - I'm a known Grammar Nazi so I can certainly help with that - I like to see things utilizing good spelling and if possible grammar so it looks a bit more professional, if that makes any sense.

Hi/ New skin
Hi Somarinoa! What do you think of updating the skin to Moonlight?--Headbursta 00:03, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Home galaxies? Sagan IV Star Control, StarCraft
Hi again! I'm working on "Organisms by Location" and I assumed the answer for all three was the Milky Way, but I wanted to doublecheck. Is Sagan IV meant to be located in a particular galaxy? I've read a few of your posts about it and it looks fascinating. By the way here's a link you might find interesting (assuming you haven't seen it!): Catalog of Exoplanets The Planetary Society.---Headbursta 06:57, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link! I'll check it out once I stop being groggy here. As for your question, Star Control and StarCraft both take place within the Milky Way, yes - keep in mind though that any name of a star system in Star Control (besides the Sol System itself) is not ACTUALLY meant to be the star system it is named after - it's just a destination in the general direction of that star due to the flux of Hyperspace or whatever. That's why there's two systems named after the same Real Life star - Rigel and Beta Orionis. As for Sagan IV, I have always believed it to be but I'm not 100% that I've ever actually ASKED. With that, of course, I shall go ask the boss himself right now. Expect an update on this shortly. The only thing that might make me believe that they are in another galaxy is the race that caused the panspermia on the planet - the Nauceans - are from the GamingSteve forums, and were a race Hydromancerx played over there - the GS forums I believe used their own personal galaxy for everything that took place there. -- Somarinoa 14:48, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

The Zox
I created the Zox page.

Um, I CREATED the Zox page, thank you very damn much!!!


 * lol...well, um...glad that "both" of you are with us! But that does bring up a head-scratcher I had - are the Zox then user-created instead of something from media? User-created content is certainly allowed finally, but it would help for categories' sake. -- Somarinoa 19:47, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Merger between this wik and AFFW
ITS CAME UP IN THE asw talkpage since the AFFW deals with Alien Fanfic and as an Admin I have no objections with it been here I think a merger would be a great idea--Owen1983 19:01, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * How would the merger work, exactly? It sounds perfectly useful and good and fine to me, but I ought to know the specifics I suppose before I approve. Would it just be like links between the two such as Xenopedia and the Alien fanfics that they link to? -- Somarinoa 19:09, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Somarinoa, there is a big discussion going on about the possible merges, go to the Main Talk Page, we would all like to hear your opinions BlueFrackle 19:33, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

 * Personally-created species are allowed, though they should have the Category:Fanfiction added to the articles. Really, I need to add my own species on here sometime. -- Somarinoa 22:21, December 28, 2010 (UTC)

very helpful
Awesome stuff

Thank you for posting!

I am back
I would lieke to help out with this article--Owen1983 15:03, December 27, 2010 (UTC) -- Somarinoa 00:08, February 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * I am confused as to which article you are referring to... (sorry, had computer issues)

hi i am a meeper from spore creatures
 * Ello, Meeps! Welcome to our little slice of cyberspace! -- Somarinoa 00:08, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

dude the stuff you have written about comic books is wrong, half this crap you probaly read off wikipeadia not graphic novels.
 * I don't have time to read much at all, especially comics (and I actually have a physical problem with it) which is why I usually don't add things from them - I last read comics at any normal rate in 1995 when my Spider-Man subscription ran out (where I came from it was difficult for me to renew my subscription) and my hundreds of comics were ruined by being forced into storage with feral cats. I typically work on adding more obscure races, and if I don't have direct personal knowledge of a species the information comes from what I can find on the official wikia sites, which I can only assume is correct as I trust the rabid fans of any particular universe to keep things correct for me; that would make it their fault, not really my own. Heck, even the Star Wars stuff could be wrong given that, but I certainly hope not. The ones I can mostly vouch for are movies and most video games I add from, as I generally can buy tickets and purchase the games (even when I know they will be terrible...but who else is going to go watch Meet Dave and Aliens in the Attic for?). If there's anything you know that's incorrect on here, it would certainly be awesome if you could clear it up for us. Also, you can sign your stuff by adding for tilde (~) marks after your post. -- Somarinoa 00:08, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Game
Hey Somarino, i have seen the Lost Planet 2 game walkthrough and it's quiet epic. I've been thinking how bout if this alien species wiki have a game that contain all alien or every species in this wiki as an NPC and we're gonna fight them with Lost Planet ways. Do you have any connections with game producer?If you're appreciated my idea let us chat together. Thanks - Yoggie 7:26 3rd of March 2011

he is back an I reinstated his name on the ASPF he said something about me not wanting him back nut he has not done anything in fact he will make a good patrollerOwen1983 21:07, May 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. Dunno why he would think you wouldn't want him back, however. -- Somarinoa 02:48, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Award.
It is my honor to award you the ASW: Gold star award. You have been a valuable contributer and have more edits than anyone else in the history of this wiki. If you would like, you can post the award on your user page. Nexus12: Because pure dominance isn't enough {PATROLLER} 17:09, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Woohoo! I'll go and do that as soon as I wake up from a much-needed nap! Thanks for the award! =D -- Somarinoa 17:14, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * If you could answer a question when you get around to it, that would be great. What's our official standing on fan-fiction on tis wiki? Nexus12: Because pure dominance isn't enough {PATROLLER} 18:18, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have always been okay with fan-created material appearing on this site, ever since I came upon it in 2006 and revamped it (originally, they had some Xenomorphs and the Predator, the Slith and the Skaarj, the Metroid, roughly 100 other pages and they had deleted a former Deoxys page because the ruler didn't like Pokémon). I for one have been known to write science fiction stories, all or nearly all of which involve aliens of some sort. I have hundreds of "fan-created" species; but I didn't want to be the first person to start posting them. However, other folks have posted fan-created material and so I really could begin doing so now, which I would like to do. That being said, I think all fan-created material should be placed into a category so we can tell if it's fan- or amateur-generated or not. I can't recall if I've made a category for it yet or not, but it'd probably either be called User Content or Fan Content or something. We had someone add someone else's work to the wikia once, and I was forced to take it down because the information wasn't right (and while we could have fixed it certainly, they specifically asked for it to be removed instead; this was some years ago though). Were you thinking of adding something you came up with? -- Somarinoa 04:36, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, actually quite the opposite. I was just wondering, lest I accidentally put a deletion tag on something that was fan-made. Thanks for informing me. Nexus12: Because pure dominance isn't enough {PATROLLER} 15:42, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Gold star
Congratulations for winning this award.--Owen1983 16:33, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

User rights
I wondered could you give nexus12 Administrative powers thanks.--Owen1983 11:39, May 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * Oh yeah certainly, if it hasn't been done yet already I'll get to work on that now. -- Somarinoa 23:02, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Hey, can you do me a favor? When you get around to it, it would be great to have your opinion on the amendment I just suggested here thanks! Nexus12: Because pure dominance isn't enough {ENSIGN} 21:47, May 16, 2011 (UTC)
 * Certainly, I'll go take a look. --Somarinoa 23:02, May 17, 2011 (UTC)

Hi somarinoa Could you grant admin right to this user if you are not sure how look for special user rights if you cant find it its a special page first type the user name the you can give him rollback admin or bureaucrat powerscan u give him admin powers thanks. --Owen1983 16:48, May 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I gave both to him yesterday, actually. =) -- Somarinoa 17:14, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Nexus12 has got himself blocked by wikia staff---Owen1983 16:44, May 24, 2011 (UTC). What? How come? -- Somarinoa 18:18, May 24, 2011 (UTC)

It is to do with another the metroid wiki or rather a user there who has accused him of all sorts anyways he is back now and the user who ratted him to wikia staff is also here ---Owen1983 21:29, May 25, 2011 (UTC).

Please, no more use of derogatory terms. We're past this. Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 21:34, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Somarinoa, please read this with an open mind. You know who I am now. You know the monster I was before I came here. But I ask of you, please allow me to continue editing here. Of course, it is ultimately the decision of this entire wiki to decide wether to keep me or not, but it is up to you whether or not to re-grant me my powers I had as Nexus12. If you wish to do so, please do strip the rights from Nexus12 and grant them to me. If you wish not to, then so be it. But it is your choice Somarinoa. Remember, I am the same editor as I have always been on this wiki. I hope what has transpired here will not change your views of me too much. Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 00:20, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would be fine with reassigning your administration status to this secondary account if you prefer. I've had pranks pulled on me before too, and similar issues; why, I remember when I was the lyricist for a Greek heavy metal band called Metal Bundy, but I had found them on my girlfriend at the time's ICQ account, and she kept them on there and kept stating it was her who was their lyricist and not me (boy did that take a while to fix up). -- Somarinoa 22:26, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like it was a troubling experience. And I would've never guessed you were in a band! It seems like you've done a ton of different things. And if you could reassign the admin powers, that wold be great. Thanks, Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 19:58, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Admin
Hello Somarinoa! I'v just nominated myself for adminship, hope to get your support! As you know, I've edited here for some time, and I hope to have improved the wiki's database by adding cool species like Glorfts, Mesklinites and the Black Cloud. But like you say, there's still TONS missing, so, yeah... Whatever... Thanks in advance! :-) BlueFrackle 20:59, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * You've helped out the wikia for a long time now. I would even go so far as to say you're one of the longest-running contributors we have had, having started back in May of 2009. If you would like administration status, I don't see why we should not allow you the ability to do some cool stuff. I am definitely all about you adding cool species, too; the more species the merrier, I always say! I would say you have my support. -- Somarinoa 01:54, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

'm going to close the amendment posed in Policy Decisions as successfully passed and amend the current policy. If you have anything more to say about it, please do so. Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 01:18, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Heck yea, go for it! -- Somarinoa 01:44, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

Hey man. Just letting you know that BlueFrackle's request for admin rights has been up for a week, and he's received positive feedback. If you could grant him admin powers that would be great. Also, if you could re-grant me my admin powers along with him that would also be great. Thanks man, Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 19:39, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. -- Somarinoa 07:00, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

New articles
Should there be enough information on a creature for the article not to be a stub? For example, to create a page on the 'Shifty Looking Cow' or 'Giant Bug' could not have much information. Holbenilord 19:10, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I mean, if there isn't very much information on a species such as those background races from Mass Effect there, then if we get what information there is available on them then, yeah, I say the stubs are perfectly capable of being removed at that point. - Somarinoa 02:56, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks!
Thanks for granting me these powers, I will not disappoint you, sir! ;- ) BlueFrackle 17:06, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * I fully trust that you will serve our wonderful community well. =) -- Somarinoa 06:41, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Badges
I have enabled achievement for the wiki --Owen1983 15:31, June 6, 2011 (UTC). -- Somarinoa 17:48, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Awesome! Now our wonderful wiki is even better! Thanks for the aid! =D

Zan Ghoul
While you were editing, i must have been too- i did some edits, but i don't want to remove yours, so shall i post the material i produced here for you to add/not use? Holbenilord 19:55, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry, done it now. Holbenilord 20:08, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hehe, oh yeah, sorry about that. Wasn't receiving visual alerts from my hotmail indicating I had alterations to followed pages (chiefly in this case, my user talk page). Then again, my Internet's acting up pretty badly so that could be why, too. I'm done there, though, unless you want me to double check it again at some point. -- Somarinoa 21:11, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ha, that's fine. I think it's okay now- everything's going smoothly. Holbenilord 10:02, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Good idea
with achievement badges we can customize them so we can give the wiki its own feel.--Owen1983 20:21, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed! =D -- Somarinoa 21:12, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Although I, personally, would be one against badges, I'm going to trust the senior admin and senior bureaucrat of this wiki in their decision. WE just have to make sure that there is no achievement gaming allowed to happen. We have to be cut-throat with this, as I have seen it cause many a problem on other wikis. --Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 23:40, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Multiverses wiki
Hey Somarinoa. You may or may not be familiar with User:Pinguinus, but he has asked me if his wiki, Multiverses wiki, could become a sister wiki of ASW. You could almost think of it as another Alien Fanon Wiki, but unlike Alien Fanon Wiki, it is beginning to show more and more activity. I support him, but I certainly cannot make a decision on my own.

You Missed A Spot
Hey, as you know I had a few days where I went around editing stuff for the lulz. As I stated in the last one I'm done. My goal wasn't to really wreak havoc which is why I tried not to change too much. I think it was just a few articles. Whatever. But I just wanted to mention that you guys forgot to change back the Mgalekgolo page...thought you should know. Anyways, Stay golden eveyone. :D
 * Thanks for the heads up. After reading the history, it made me chuckle; boy oh man Hunters freak me out. Just thought I'd mention that. -- Somarinoa 21:32, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

New wiki trial
I am going to switch the wikia skin to the new editor initially for 24 hours but if there are any concerns I will abandon it I have alerted are users and I will alert the other admins.

Hello!
Hi! I saw that you did a lot of work to the Battle Los Angeles Aliens page and was hoping that you could tell me where you got the information, because I am in charge of the Battle: Los Angeles Wiki and am in need of some more sources for the website. I also understand someone by the name of Person 1 helped to edit the page. If you can't help, then I'll go to him, but if you can help, that'd be great! Thanks!

Eh, that alien page...
...sigh I am going to soon, but kinda busy lately. I will take care of it as soon as possible, sorry ser

Notice of inactivity
As I was for the last little while, I will again be inactivity for a moderate to long period of time. Probably about a week, max two weeks. Just informing you for your reference. Best wishes, Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 14:55, July 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks for the heads up. We'll watch the fort while you're gone. -- Somarinoa 15:15, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Question
Hey man, how do you know what all the species were before they became Zerg?

Rabidman 10:17, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Answer
Well, I'm an alien species fanatic, and my mind is like a sieve in order to contain knowledge on so many species. ...That being said, several Zerg strains (specifically, the Drones, Overlords, Zerglings, Hydralisks, Mutalisks, Ultralisks, Guardians, Queens, and, technically, the Defilers) were all listed in the manual for StarCraft. And yes, it is officially "StarCraft" as of SCII; before that, both spellings (that and "Starcraft") were used by Blizzard. Expect all of these former species to be added shortly here - minus the Defilers, as they are "created from a mix of DNA from all other Zerg strains". Larvae and Cerebrates are both regular ol' Zergies, also. ...that quote is fake, by the way - I just wrote it out myself right now. But it's true. I need to get off my lazy keester and get on the SCII forums and request we get to see the origin species, as I've waited to see what they looked like - patiently, I might add - for over a decade now. Somarinoa 14:21, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Holy Crap!
HOLY CRAP!!!... I had no idea how hard this Krypton thing would be. lol You should check it out, and leave a comment about it on my talk page. By the way, I'm no where close to being done. There are a lot of things I still need to work on, on it. So dont fully judge, just tell me what you think for starters.

Rabidman 16:41, 23 August 2008 (UTC)

Please
Please, look (edit) this page: List of needed Articles - Gobi-Aoi 00:09, 29 March 2009 (UTC).
 * You got it. I can't do it right this second because I work in 10 minutes, but once I get back home it should be an easy task to complete. I could certainly overload that page with species names, too, I just have chosen not to because then it would seem a bit too large. I don't know about you, but I know hundreds upon hundreds of alien species. - Somarinoa 09:51, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Moons
Hello Somarinoa! I'm BlueFrackle, a new user (kind of new, started this month). Since you like to work in the Species, Character and Planet galleries, you may be interested to know that I've started a Moon Gallery. So far it's very small, containing only 9 moons (3 real ones - Callisto, Europa and Luna; 5 from Star Wars - Dxun, Endor, Nar Shaddaa, Rishi Moon and Yavin 4; and Sagan 4's Mason). If you know more (I'm sure you do) please add them or upload images so I can add them. Thank you very much! BlueFrackle 20:43, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * You are?! How cool! I'm a great fan of Sagan 4, but I'm not a member, unfortunately, because I can't draw. BlueFrackle 21:29, 9 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Yup!! I'm a pretty good friend to the admin, Hydro as well. I'm the one who started the huge descriptions of species (before me the most anyone would post is one to two paragraphs ever). I also fix grammar for others' submissions, add biome artwork on the wikia, maintain the topic about Alien Species Wikia on the Sagan IV forums, am the current taxonomy master for kingdoms and such, and, when I have the time, add species. In fact, I have five currently up on the forums that I did in the last few days, all but the last one currently are on page five of this topic. I've been a member since Sagan IV's first year. Not to mention I'm the one who single-handedly brought this wikia back from the brink of extinction, and I think all but the first maybe 200 articles have been made since I started rehauling the site; I'm essentially the next best thing to the administrator here. Glad to hear about more galleries - I made the Created Location Gallery today actually to move the space stations out of the planet gallery, as well. I'll start working on adding more to the Moon Gallery today as well.
 * Wow, that's being productive! Thank you! BlueFrackle 22:20, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

More of Sagan IV universe and desert worlds
Hello again, Somarinoa! I created pages for Sagan IV (now I'm spelling the "IV" correctly) and its neighbours of the Sagan System. Also expanded the "desert world" article, but it's still a stub, because the list I've added is not complete, so please add more desert planets if you know any. Thank you very much! BlueFrackle 01:31, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

I was speaking to joey
I told him about my efforts to clean up spam here and he pointed out that we do not have eny Admins he suggested Voting for people to take this task on I dont think we should have one becuse theresis a lot to do I have something in mind we need bureaucrats Admins and rollbacks --Owen1983 16:08, January 4, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I'd certainly love an administration/moderator position myself - I was the one who brought the wikia back to life after its death in 2006. The only thing I could note really about a new admin is that then the main page could be altered; there are articles now that are amazingly well written and it was always sort of a little insulting I thought to the community at large, whatever it was like beforehand. But I'm all for a vote. If you care to have one, do let me know! I certainly have admin/mod experience behind me. - Somarinoa 23:28, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Admin rights
Hi Somarinoa -- thanks for your great work on this wiki! I've given you admin and bureaucrat rights on the wiki, after Owen indicated that the project didn't have an active admin. I've also given admin rights to Owen; he seems very eager to help, but please help to ensure that he doesn't overuse admin tools -- the buttons should always take second place to friendly cooperation and communication.

I've also unprotected the main page; as you pointed out, protecting a wiki from its own users is a pretty silly thing to do! -- we'd have undone it a long time ago if we'd realized it was fully protected without an active admin to undo it. Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 20:32, January 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much! - Somarinoa 01:30, January 29, 2010 (UTC)hihihihihi

 * BlueFrackle does seem to do quite a bit on the wiki, so I don't think I'd mind if he gained Bureaucratical status as well. -- Somarinoa 11:22, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Idea
I was thinking of creating more in depth Information on the star trek universe ie planets starships episodes Owen1983 19:34, February 5, 2010 (UTC) Only reason I don't add more Star Trek stuff myself is because my real life friend Rabidman was originally planning on adding it all to figure out how to do wikia edits and such (which is also why I've done so few edits on them), but he hasn't really come back in a few years now, haha. -- Somarinoa 12:11, February 21, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I certainly agree with the planets, and starship adding as well although I have gone the opposite route with technologies for Star Wars (probably more because I don't copy+paste articles and don't want to do all the info on all the "Warsian" tech myself). As for episodes, are you referring to adding the information in a style of in-universe or real-universe? I could certainly understand adding, say, that war that ended with the destruction of Cardassia Prime, but as for episodes in terms of their title and a plot synopsis, I suppose you could although I would immediately associate episodes and movie information with the wikis for those projects (in Trek's case, Memory Alpha). Feel free to coax me along your route of thinking though, I am open to suggestion.

AvP Universe
Hey, Somarinoa. Would you mind if I took charge of cleaning up the AvP universe articles?Malys88 04:56, April 18, 2010 (UTC) -- Somarinoa 06:06, April 18, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh yes, please be my guest. I figure that there are a lot of people here for AVP, Metroids, and a few other species like maybe the Na'vi now. I have been taking most of my time to try to add species - or at least image of species - that I figure no one else will take the time to add. Heck, I even went and watched Meet Dave and Aliens in the Attic just to write the articles for the Nilians and the Zirkonians, respectively. Unfortunately, that plus all the stuff I've been dealing with in real life has left me without much time for constantly fixing up the often-edited articles, so I would appreciate the assistance there. If you have any spelling or grammar questions, let me know - I'm a known Grammar Nazi so I can certainly help with that - I like to see things utilizing good spelling and if possible grammar so it looks a bit more professional, if that makes any sense.

Hi/ New skin
Hi Somarinoa! What do you think of updating the skin to Moonlight?--Headbursta 00:03, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Home galaxies? Sagan IV Star Control, StarCraft
Hi again! I'm working on "Organisms by Location" and I assumed the answer for all three was the Milky Way, but I wanted to doublecheck. Is Sagan IV meant to be located in a particular galaxy? I've read a few of your posts about it and it looks fascinating. By the way here's a link you might find interesting (assuming you haven't seen it!): Catalog of Exoplanets The Planetary Society.---Headbursta 06:57, April 19, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link! I'll check it out once I stop being groggy here. As for your question, Star Control and StarCraft both take place within the Milky Way, yes - keep in mind though that any name of a star system in Star Control (besides the Sol System itself) is not ACTUALLY meant to be the star system it is named after - it's just a destination in the general direction of that star due to the flux of Hyperspace or whatever. That's why there's two systems named after the same Real Life star - Rigel and Beta Orionis. As for Sagan IV, I have always believed it to be but I'm not 100% that I've ever actually ASKED. With that, of course, I shall go ask the boss himself right now. Expect an update on this shortly. The only thing that might make me believe that they are in another galaxy is the race that caused the panspermia on the planet - the Nauceans - are from the GamingSteve forums, and were a race Hydromancerx played over there - the GS forums I believe used their own personal galaxy for everything that took place there. -- Somarinoa 14:48, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

The Zox
I created the Zox page.

Um, I CREATED the Zox page, thank you very damn much!!!


 * lol...well, um...glad that "both" of you are with us! But that does bring up a head-scratcher I had - are the Zox then user-created instead of something from media? User-created content is certainly allowed finally, but it would help for categories' sake. -- Somarinoa 19:47, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Merger between this wik and AFFW
ITS CAME UP IN THE asw talkpage since the AFFW deals with Alien Fanfic and as an Admin I have no objections with it been here I think a merger would be a great idea--Owen1983 19:01, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * How would the merger work, exactly? It sounds perfectly useful and good and fine to me, but I ought to know the specifics I suppose before I approve. Would it just be like links between the two such as Xenopedia and the Alien fanfics that they link to? -- Somarinoa 19:09, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Somarinoa, there is a big discussion going on about the possible merges, go to the Main Talk Page, we would all like to hear your opinions BlueFrackle 19:33, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

hi i am a meeper from spore creatures
 * Ello, Meeps! Welcome to our little slice of cyberspace! -- Somarinoa 00:08, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

dude the stuff you have written about comic books is wrong, half this crap you probaly read off wikipeadia not graphic novels.
 * I don't have time to read much at all, especially comics (and I actually have a physical problem with it) which is why I usually don't add things from them - I last read comics at any normal rate in 1995 when my Spider-Man subscription ran out (where I came from it was difficult for me to renew my subscription) and my hundreds of comics were ruined by being forced into storage with feral cats. I typically work on adding more obscure races, and if I don't have direct personal knowledge of a species the information comes from what I can find on the official wikia sites, which I can only assume is correct as I trust the rabid fans of any particular universe to keep things correct for me; that would make it their fault, not really my own. Heck, even the Star Wars stuff could be wrong given that, but I certainly hope not. The ones I can mostly vouch for are movies and most video games I add from, as I generally can buy tickets and purchase the games (even when I know they will be terrible...but who else is going to go watch Meet Dave and Aliens in the Attic for?). If there's anything you know that's incorrect on here, it would certainly be awesome if you could clear it up for us. Also, you can sign your stuff by adding for tilde (~) marks after your post. -- Somarinoa 00:08, February 10, 2011 (UTC)

Game
Hey Somarino, i have seen the Lost Planet 2 game walkthrough and it's quiet epic. I've been thinking how bout if this alien species wiki have a game that contain all alien or every species in this wiki as an NPC and we're gonna fight them with Lost Planet ways. Do you have any connections with game producer?If you're appreciated my idea let us chat together. Thanks - Yoggie 7:26 3rd of March 2011

Award.
It is my honor to award you the ASW: Gold star award. You have been a valuable contributer and have more edits than anyone else in the history of this wiki. If you would like, you can post the award on your user page. Nexus12: Because pure dominance isn't enough {PATROLLER} 17:09, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Woohoo! I'll go and do that as soon as I wake up from a much-needed nap! Thanks for the award! =D -- Somarinoa 17:14, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * If you could answer a question when you get around to it, that would be great. What's our official standing on fan-fiction on tis wiki? Nexus12: Because pure dominance isn't enough {PATROLLER} 18:18, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have always been okay with fan-created material appearing on this site, ever since I came upon it in 2006 and revamped it (originally, they had some Xenomorphs and the Predator, the Slith and the Skaarj, the Metroid, roughly 100 other pages and they had deleted a former Deoxys page because the ruler didn't like Pokémon). I for one have been known to write science fiction stories, all or nearly all of which involve aliens of some sort. I have hundreds of "fan-created" species; but I didn't want to be the first person to start posting them. However, other folks have posted fan-created material and so I really could begin doing so now, which I would like to do. That being said, I think all fan-created material should be placed into a category so we can tell if it's fan- or amateur-generated or not. I can't recall if I've made a category for it yet or not, but it'd probably either be called User Content or Fan Content or something. We had someone add someone else's work to the wikia once, and I was forced to take it down because the information wasn't right (and while we could have fixed it certainly, they specifically asked for it to be removed instead; this was some years ago though). Were you thinking of adding something you came up with? -- Somarinoa 04:36, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, actually quite the opposite. I was just wondering, lest I accidentally put a deletion tag on something that was fan-made. Thanks for informing me. Nexus12: Because pure dominance isn't enough {PATROLLER} 15:42, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations for winning this award.--Owen1983 16:33, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

Please, no more use of derogatory terms. We're past this. Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 21:34, May 25, 2011 (UTC)

Somarinoa, please read this with an open mind. You know who I am now. You know the monster I was before I came here. But I ask of you, please allow me to continue editing here. Of course, it is ultimately the decision of this entire wiki to decide wether to keep me or not, but it is up to you whether or not to re-grant me my powers I had as Nexus12. If you wish to do so, please do strip the rights from Nexus12 and grant them to me. If you wish not to, then so be it. But it is your choice Somarinoa. Remember, I am the same editor as I have always been on this wiki. I hope what has transpired here will not change your views of me too much. Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 00:20, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * I would be fine with reassigning your administration status to this secondary account if you prefer. I've had pranks pulled on me before too, and similar issues; why, I remember when I was the lyricist for a Greek heavy metal band called Metal Bundy, but I had found them on my girlfriend at the time's ICQ account, and she kept them on there and kept stating it was her who was their lyricist and not me (boy did that take a while to fix up). -- Somarinoa 22:26, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Sounds like it was a troubling experience. And I would've never guessed you were in a band! It seems like you've done a ton of different things. And if you could reassign the admin powers, that wold be great. Thanks, Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 19:58, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Admin
Hello Somarinoa! I'v just nominated myself for adminship, hope to get your support! As you know, I've edited here for some time, and I hope to have improved the wiki's database by adding cool species like Glorfts, Mesklinites and the Black Cloud. But like you say, there's still TONS missing, so, yeah... Whatever... Thanks in advance! :-) BlueFrackle 20:59, May 27, 2011 (UTC)
 * You've helped out the wikia for a long time now. I would even go so far as to say you're one of the longest-running contributors we have had, having started back in May of 2009. If you would like administration status, I don't see why we should not allow you the ability to do some cool stuff. I am definitely all about you adding cool species, too; the more species the merrier, I always say! I would say you have my support. -- Somarinoa 01:54, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

'm going to close the amendment posed in Policy Decisions as successfully passed and amend the current policy. If you have anything more to say about it, please do so. Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 01:18, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Heck yea, go for it! -- Somarinoa 01:44, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

Hey man. Just letting you know that BlueFrackle's request for admin rights has been up for a week, and he's received positive feedback. If you could grant him admin powers that would be great. Also, if you could re-grant me my admin powers along with him that would also be great. Thanks man, Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 19:39, June 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Sounds good to me. -- Somarinoa 07:00, June 2, 2011 (UTC)

New articles
Should there be enough information on a creature for the article not to be a stub? For example, to create a page on the 'Shifty Looking Cow' or 'Giant Bug' could not have much information. Holbenilord 19:10, June 4, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I mean, if there isn't very much information on a species such as those background races from Mass Effect there, then if we get what information there is available on them then, yeah, I say the stubs are perfectly capable of being removed at that point. - Somarinoa 02:56, June 5, 2011 (UTC)

 * Awesome! Now our wonderful wiki is even better! Thanks for the aid! =D

While you were editing, i must have been too- i did some edits, but i don't want to remove yours, so shall i post the material i produced here for you to add/not use? Holbenilord 19:55, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Don't worry, done it now. Holbenilord 20:08, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hehe, oh yeah, sorry about that. Wasn't receiving visual alerts from my hotmail indicating I had alterations to followed pages (chiefly in this case, my user talk page). Then again, my Internet's acting up pretty badly so that could be why, too. I'm done there, though, unless you want me to double check it again at some point. -- Somarinoa 21:11, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ha, that's fine. I think it's okay now- everything's going smoothly. Holbenilord 10:02, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Good idea
with achievement badges we can customize them so we can give the wiki its own feel.--Owen1983 20:21, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Indeed! =D -- Somarinoa 21:12, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Although I, personally, would be one against badges, I'm going to trust the senior admin and senior bureaucrat of this wiki in their decision. WE just have to make sure that there is no achievement gaming allowed to happen. We have to be cut-throat with this, as I have seen it cause many a problem on other wikis. --Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 23:40, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Multiverses wiki
Hey Somarinoa. You may or may not be familiar with User:Pinguinus, but he has asked me if his wiki, Multiverses wiki, could become a sister wiki of ASW. You could almost think of it as another Alien Fanon Wiki, but unlike Alien Fanon Wiki, it is beginning to show more and more activity. I support him, but I certainly cannot make a decision on my own. I'm sending this messagee to all current members of the ASPF and hope that each of you can get back to me as quickly as possible. Thanks, Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 20:53, June 18, 2011 (UTC)

I've started an RfC for Multiverses. After Pinguinus has answered the questions, please vote. Thanks, Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 18:11, June 19, 2011 (UTC)

You Missed A Spot
Hey, as you know I had a few days where I went around editing stuff for the lulz. As I stated in the last one I'm done. My goal wasn't to really wreak havoc which is why I tried not to change too much. I think it was just a few articles. Whatever. But I just wanted to mention that you guys forgot to change back the Mgalekgolo page...thought you should know. Anyways, Stay golden eveyone. :D
 * Thanks for the heads up. After reading the history, it made me chuckle; boy oh man Hunters freak me out. Just thought I'd mention that. -- Somarinoa 21:32, June 20, 2011 (UTC)

New wiki trial
I am going to switch the wikia skin to the new editor initially for 24 hours but if there are any concerns I will abandon it I have alerted are users and I will alert the other admins.

Hello!
Hi! I saw that you did a lot of work to the Battle Los Angeles Aliens page and was hoping that you could tell me where you got the information, because I am in charge of the Battle: Los Angeles Wiki and am in need of some more sources for the website. I also understand someone by the name of Person 1 helped to edit the page. If you can't help, then I'll go to him, but if you can help, that'd be great! Thanks!

Eh, that alien page...
...sigh I am going to soon, but kinda busy lately. I will take care of it as soon as possible, sorry ser

Notice of inactivity
As I was for the last little while, I will again be inactivity for a moderate to long period of time. Probably about a week, max two weeks. Just informing you for your reference. Best wishes, Insurgence: Like the Phoenix I rise again! 14:55, July 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks for the heads up. We'll watch the fort while you're gone. -- Somarinoa 15:15, July 16, 2011 (UTC)

Hey
Remember the photo I uploaded? I'm writing a page for an specie that I think whom should be in this site. Still working on it, I'll upload it as soon as I'm done.

Sorry... School starts in a few days. I too busy to post my page rightnow, hopefully I will able to finish it soon.


 * Hey, that's no problem - there's been some pages I've been meaning to add for a number of years now, but just have not found the time to do it. When you get a chance to get around to it, feel free to add the species. =) -- Somarinoa 11:26, August 31, 2011 (UTC)

Block of "The Joke Master".
I have blocked User:The Joke Master for trolling. daNASCAT has intervened on another wiki, stating The Joke Master (previously User:Ghostytreat) is unfit for wiki work. Pending the review of the other admins, I will also be removing his RfA from the User Right's page. Comments and advice for this matter are greatly appreciated, and should be left on my talk page. Since you are the only bureaucrat and head of this wiki, your comments are wanted especially. Thank you, Lord Phoenix   at your service  01:42, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Admin's Council.
Per the above message, leave your comments here. Thanks. Lord Phoenix  at your service  02:04, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Favor
could u review my RFA's I have been nominated fo burueacratuc status which was successfull TY. --Owen1983 15:40, September 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Certainly. I'm sick atm but I'll take time while I'm able to keep my eyes open to take a look. Hopefully I can reply before I pass out again, haha. -- Somarinoa 07:21, September 20, 2011 (UTC)

Two months of penance
As per the title above I will be taking two months off for a debt to someone. Please watch ASW diligently in my stead. Lord Phoenix  at your service  19:53, September 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, no problem. Thanks for the heads up. We just lost our Internet at my house two days ago (I'm cheating by getting on at work atm), so I will also be gone, for an indeterminate amount of time (or, if the gods favor me, the Internet will be fixed by the time I get home...though I seriously doubt it). -- Somarinoa 22:17, September 30, 2011 (UTC)

Jokemaster
since his last block he still continues trolling his latest escapade he is photoshopping imaes and using them in planet 51 which he is interested in plus he is making stuff up as usual when question he threatens administrators I have spoke to him but IMV a longer block ie 6 months is required to sort this troll out.--Owen1983 19:08, October 5, 2011 (UTC)
 * Can you give me a list of pages he's made stuff up on, and links to (some of) these photoshopped images as well? I can always just check his contributions, sure, but since I am at work currently it wouldn't be for a number of hours yet. And that would help speed up dealing with the issue. -- Somarinoa 20:24, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

jokemaster sockpuppet
there is a new user account Totally random who looks to be a jokemaster sock and deleted unformation on the Star article Holbanilord has reverted the edit --Owen1983 15:01, October 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * From a quick check of the Star page, the history states that Totally Random added in this:


 * "When stars explode, they let off a highly deadly fart cloud that is even worse than Owen's (from the Total Drama Island series) farts, so it has the power to kill entire antimatter with a single touch. Stars are also highly flamable and will light on fire if they eat too much chicken, so don't feed the Sun chicken anymore. We don't want it to catch on fire and burn up. You can see more funny things like this on The Randomness Wiki, the world's funniest wiki. = )"


 * Lame. Not only did he misspell "flammable", but that's not even funny. And I know funny. Oh, plus it's vandalism and advertisey. I say he's up for warning / banishment. I have to head in to work now, but I might have a second there to do that myself, otherwise, feel free to accomplish the task yourself. I can't seem to find info on Jokemaster being on Randomness Wikia, and unless you know how to check IPs, I'm unsure how to prove they are one and the same individual at the moment. -- Somarinoa 15:50, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

thanks and will do

farscape universe species
Ive added to and done as muchas i can on the sebacean and Scarran species but, having started the Luxan page ive run out of info and had to leave a stub

any ideas as to who might be able to add more?Thracian117 20:18, October 22, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with blocking vandals, though I'm not sure how the system should be, in terms of chances or block lengths. HolbenilordTalk₪ 16:33, November 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, we should definitely bring this up to the rest of the ASW to consider. -- Somarinoa 16:41, November 4, 2011 (UTC)

Vandal
A page has been made under newfiles-url which I think needs deletion HolbenilordTalk₪ 11:11, November 18, 2011 (UTC)

Admin
Could I put myself forward for admin status, so that I can manage the deletion of empty articles? HolbenilordTalk₪ 11:08, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

we could do with another adm and Hobanilord is a wise choice --Owen1983 16:16, December 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree, it sounds like an excellent choice to me. -- Somarinoa 18:58, December 2, 2011 (UTC)



Thanks both! I've submitted an RfA HolbenilordTalk₪ 19:40, December 2, 2011 (UTC)

Back! Will be voting support on your RFA Hol, also Somar, you might want to take a look at the current RfA page as there are some that have been up for a few months and since you are the only one that can promote....
 * No problem. Just been really sick this whole week so keep passing out. I'll see what I can do here though, hehe. -- Somarinoa 21:19, December 4, 2011 (UTC)

aw thats not good hope you get better --Owen1983 17:26, December 5, 2011 (UTC)

HI sorry to bother you, but I tried to add Rampage (Protoform X) to list of charactures and my computer lagged out so an error acured, though only aslight one.

can you fix it and link it to the write page?

 * I certainly can. I'll get right on that soon as I finish my quick-edit of the S subsection.  -- Somarinoa 21:43, December 6, 2011 (UTC)

Wikibreak
I will be inactive but I should be back nextweek

P.S can you review my RFA's thanks --Owen1983 18:26, December 20, 2011 (UTC)


 * I voted on what I came across, if you haven't noticed by now. =) -- Somarinoa 17:33, December 28, 2011 (UTC)

re new policy
I agree we need a new policy on what we allow and what is not suitable for the wiki IMV we have a large user base and some users have families who are users some under 17 so we need to insure all content it suitable for them but i am not in favot removing an alien becuse it is from adult media rather censor it so if a users 13 year old kid reads it that user wont freak out.--Owen1983 18:29, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * I am in total agreement. That would allow us to keep the idea of cataloging all alien species in media without offending anybody.  Everybody wins.  We should definitely run it by the rest of the team of course, but I'm pretty sure we'll be coming up all spades on this one.  -- Somarinoa 18:47, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

New Policy
Ah, fair enough.

But when articles revolve closely around the concepts people find offensive- some of the ones on the Tentacle Monster's talk page, for example, it would be very hard to work around them. Perhaps a warning at the top of the page? A spoiler template around particular details? It could be obstructive, I've never seen any system of intra-article filtering on a wiki. HolbenilordTalk₪ 20:16, January 11, 2012 (UTC)


 * True. We could also have the initial link work in a similar manner to a primitive redirect, where it leads to a page that works as a warning to the nature of the content, and from there lead to the actual page.  -- Somarinoa 20:38, January 11, 2012 (UTC)

Message Wall
If you get the chance please refer to Owen's blog about it. It is important that we get all the opinions for this because I am sure there will be separate opinions on this. Well, there already are. Lord Phoenix  at your service  21:18, February 2, 2012 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll try and check it out right now, though it may take some time for me to successfully hit the publish button since I'm also working and such, depending on how long my potential response happens to be. -- Somarinoa 21:23, February 2, 2012 (UTC)

Article Comments
Hello Somarinoa, as a member of the ASPF it is required that you vote on the recent policy vote happening when you get the chance. Both BlueFrackle and I have made our points for and against respectively here and [User blog:Insurgence/Article Comments -- Yes or no|here]]. Thanks. Lord Phoenix  at your service  02:33, February 5, 2012 (UTC)

Another policy amendment?
Just throwing this out there for comment, I was thinking of suggesting another amendment that would put a timeline on ASPF requests. Since right now they just go on forgotten until someone remembers them. Please feel free to add anything, as this is just a rough idea. Lord Phoenix  at your service  01:31, February 10, 2012 (UTC)
 * As in like a deadline, so it has a certain time limit before a ruling comes to pass? -- Somarinoa 19:50, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

watch futurama . net
an anon posted a link to this website so i removed it and warned him because the rights to the show are owned by Fox and if the MPAA found out we could have been in hot water.


 * Cool. I know you can watch South Park for free (the creators post the entire series up), but that's the only show that currently shows that I know you can watch the entire show for free without worrying about getting in trouble, and I definitely don't want our site getting some sort of cease and desist order due to one link or anything. -- Somarinoa 03:40, February 23, 2012 (UTC)

Space Dragons
Hey, I was looking through some Metroid info and came across the page Space Dragon. Well, this isn't real. Most of the Metroid info on here is just a guess: this one just appears to be a filler. I would recommend it for deletion, but I don't know how. Please reply! Sylux X 19:45, March 15, 2012 (UTC)
 * The space dragon title is conjectural, and was the name the article on Wikitroid was under when the page was added. If you're referring to "just a guess" being hypothetical conclusions made by people here, we allow that, though I'll certainly take a look at the page, since I haven't glanced at that particular one in years (I usually leave the articles for popular universes to others to add, edit and focus on - like the Xenomorphs - simply because I expect few of them to know about the more obscure topics like I do).  -- Somarinoa 06:23, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

DaVinci III
DaVinci III is the third planet in the DaVinci system (none of this actually exists) it's about 5.5 light years from Earth. DaVinici III has no oceans, only rivers. And because it has a lack of water, thin atmosphere, and lack of temperature differences, there is no such thing as a hurricane/tornado/storm/or even fire on DaVinci III.

KhAnubis 00:10, March 31, 2012 (UTC)


 * That's all well and good, of course, but where does the universe originate from? Such as how Darwin IV comes from Expedition/Alien Planet, or how Sagan IV comes from...well, Sagan IV, which has been accredited by some scientists and approved of by Will Wright back in the making of Spore days (some of our Sagan staff were invited to Maxis, in fact, when the game was still being developed).  The only reason I asked is the staff voted to keep non-majorly well-known fanon off this wiki by a majority vote.  Alien Fanon was utilized to move all information to that was fanon from then on, but it was recently altered by a new leader who wanted it to revert to needing to have something to do with the Aliens or Predator franchises.  This is what the whole questioning was about, really, whether it was fanon or not.  I believe staff continue to move fanon to Alien Fanon, though I've openly expressed that it's also allowed on my own personal wiki, Creativity Wiki just in case the Alien Fanon bossman ever chooses to purge his database of all fanon not directly or indirectly related to Aliens/Predator.  -- Somarinoa 06:23, March 31, 2012 (UTC)

Dantescifi
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. This seems very suspect. If the other staff are in favour, we should have a meet and see what comes from it. HolbenilordTalk₪ 15:14, April 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey, anytime. Here's to hoping we get the issue resolved.  Do keep me posted as well in case you hear something from the other staff before I do.  Until then, keep up the good work.  -- Somarinoa 16:39, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Dantescifi
I agree with that, he is a very productive user but that behavior you just reported is suspicious. There's another thing too, perhaps you'll be able to clarify this point, but Dantesifi also seems to equate the Star Wars galaxy with Triangulum and has never answered my request for a source of this. I know pretty much nothing about Star Wars beyond the original films; but last time I checked there was no consensus among fans about what galaxy it is supposed to be set. Perhaps George Lucas gave an interview last month and casually revealed that it was Triangulum, or perhaps some physicist did some crazy calculations and deduced that it must be Triangulum, or perhaps a comic book was just released with that information... In any of these cases it's alright, and seems likely that I wouldn't be the first to know anyway. I'm a devoted trekker, whovian and well into SF literature, but Star Wars I'm just a casual fan of. Anyway, just bringing this to your attention too, in case you can clarify. And yes, let's discuss Dantescifi's case. If he doesn't cooperate, well, this wiki is a group effort, if he refuses to communicate we'll have to do something about it... -- BlueFrackle 20:08, April 6, 2012 (UTC)


 * In a way, it could be proposed that Dantescifi is attempting to produce some sort of hypotheses as we tend to do on pages, with his belief firmly set into the idea that the Star Wars Galaxy is in fact Triangulum. However, the Triangulum Galaxy is not canonically stated as the galaxy from anything I've ever heard, and is actually the wrong dimensions. I've personally considered it the Andromeda galaxy because "a galaxy far, far away" does not in any way, shape, or form means it has to be more than one galaxy away - galaxies are vastly spread apart as it is so "far far away" could simply state that it is, in fact, far, far away from us. That being said, again, there is no official word on the galaxy and the Triangulum is not the correct proportions to those actually canonically stated. I quote the one instance of mention of the Triangulum on Wookieepedia:


 * "Andromeda however is one of the few galaxies moving towards the Milky Way, due to the gravitational attraction between the two galaxies overcoming the metric expansion of space. As the Star Wars saga took place "a long, long time ago", it can be hypothesized that a Brodo Asogi expedition left Andromeda when the two galaxies were at a distance closer to 3 million light years. A candidate that is currently closer to this distance from the Milky Way is the Triangulum galaxy, however it is only estimated to be 50,000ly in diameter. It is also possible that the Galaxy is Pinwheel Galaxy, which is located 25 million light-years away, however it is 170,000 light years across, as opposed to 120,000 light years, mentioned in canon."


 * We definitely have use for the category, but I do not believe that the Star Wars species belong in this category until George Lucas himself states that that is canon information, or even if it is listed in non-canon but still official material some day. -- Somarinoa 20:30, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

-- Somarinoa 20:34, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Also, I'm a devoted Star Wars fan and casual trekkie (I don't think I'm obsessed enough about Star Trek to refer to myself as a "trekker", though I do greatly respect the material and what it did to help humanity through its "racial" issue in the early days). I am also highly devoted to Mass Effect and Star Control, for the record. I guess that'd make us a good pair for this line of work, haha.

added response
Its been my experience on other wikis that if a user breaks rules he should be warned and if he decides to breack them again a block can be sanctione short at first then if he continues with this behavir we may perma ban him I will deal with this. --Owen1983 22:57, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

I have spoken to him and made it clear that if he wants to make up articles he should use AFW a have also told him that he risks further action I also will monitor him and double check articles if there not on wookiepedia they are made up. --Owen1983 23:24, April 8, 2012 (UTC)

I started to suspect him when he wouldn't return my questions. I move to block him immediately, except for his talk page, and then review it when we can. It is very unfortunate that we will lose this massive page count, but if it is mostly fanon than so be it.

I will be better able to discuss this tomorrow, and I will make a topic on the council to discuss. Insurgence:  Speak!  01:52, April 9, 2012 (UTC)

 * Thanks for the heads-up and for doing it. What exactly had he done, out of curiosity?  -- Somarinoa 04:45, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

Hello Somarinoa, I just dropped by to thank you for editing my Mechanoid page. I'm new here and really don't know how to properly create a page so thanks for neating it up, I appreciate it. See you around after all resistance is futile!
 * Hey, no problem! Is your novel there out and readable yet, by chance?  -- Somarinoa 04:45, April 17, 2012 (UTC)

Hey again. In responce to your question yes my novel is available for purchase online from many online stores such as Amazon etc. I warn you though that due to incompetence on my agents behalf the book has many spelling errors so you will have to forgive that. I hope you enjoy it and be sure to give feedback!

Hey I got the wrong name for the metarex

theme
have you guys considered upgrading this wikis background and logo? I have done some fairly extensive work on this sort of stuff. . . I would be happy to lend a hand, I find the current generic theme very. . . distracting!


 * I wouldn't mind a theme, personally. I'll see about what the other staff think, and see what we can come up with in terms of one.  -- Somarinoa 01:25, May 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * That will be difficult to say the least considering the incredibly broad subject matter of this wiki! I suggest a simple starscape, transparent page, and a revitalized PNG logo . . . Heck you could probably even find a high res version of hte starscape in the wiki logo and turn it into the background image. ralok 07:48, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

I like the idea because we need a new theme and I like your suggestion of the new look plus having a good theme will make the wiki even better --Owen1983 17:49, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

thank you.


 * Oh hey, that image is here on the site. Yeah, I've no problem with adding the image to the other page, as well.  I'll get right on that.  -- Somarinoa 14:44, May 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hey. Just letting you know I'm coming back very soon. I've had a lot of things to take care of, and real life comes first for me.

Bot spam
I've heard that a bunch of wikis have been targeted by spam bots recently. Wikitroid, the wiki I admin, is one of them. If you are targeted, tell the VSTF here. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs} 23:30, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

temporary admin rights
I am requesting temporary admin rights, so I can upgrade this wikis theme and the front page. I know full well that the front page can be edited by anyone, but I am uncomfortable doing so without permission as it is the face of a wiki ralok 02:11, May 27, 2012 (UTC)
 * I don't mind giving temp admin status, and you've certainly been helping quite a bit lately. I suppose if it's temporary we don't need the other mods to vote on it so this can get up and running as quickly as possible—how long would you be looking for status upgrade? — Somarinoa 03:07, May 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Realistically, a few hours at most! But seeing as I might not be here when the admin rights are given, something may come up . . . I guess one or two days could be sufficient. ralok 10:03, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

from what I have seen ralok has been eager to help out clearing up spam and I requested admin rights for him his hearts in the right place. --Owen1983 11:14, May 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * Agreed. OK, Ralok, I'll get right on that. I'll give you 3 days, just in case. I will also review this admin request at the end of these three days (5/31/2012) and, presumably, state my approval for the motion. Good luck out there! -- Somarinoa 22:06, May 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * In case you've not done it before, here's how to change the theme to whatever you may have in mind: link -- Somarinoa 22:11, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Ralok
first he has done wonders for ASW 2nd if he is comfortable being an administrator and he seems experienced I would recommend making it permanent after his trial ends to be honest he would make a graet admin.--Owen1983 17:32, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Random Images
With some help from some users on community central, we have a random images template/code that will allow us to put up a different picture of an alien each time on the front page. Obviously these are not its only applications, but it's there to be used.

You can see the results there, there are only four images, refresh the page a couple times and see if it works for you. Insurgence:  Speak!  21:39, May 29, 2012 (UTC)
