Help with infobox
I know how to add the alien species infobox but I always have trouble adding the pic. The pic won't show up on the Yardrat and Vortaak articles that I created. Elcidman 21:11, January 6, 2013 (UTC)


 * While the Vortaak image had been fixed by the time I had arrived there, I fixed up the Yardrat image for you. For your own future reference, what the problem seemed to be was that it was missing the "image:" part at the beginning of the link. Let me know if there's anything else I can do for you, I am always glad to be of assistance, and thanks for the page adds! Keep up the good work. =) — Somarinoa (talk) 13:50, January 8, 2013 (UTC)

Cryptid Wiki
I gave you Adminstership on Cryptid Wiki.

--Australopithecusman


 * Awesome! I won't let you guys down. =D — Somarinoa (talk) 07:49, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

opinion
i want an opinion, did I do an okay job on the Imperial, Native, and Shadow People pages? I tormented myself trying to obtain all of the information. ralok (talk) 06:39, January 23, 2013 (UTC)


 * I'll go check and let you know if there's anything that needs fixing. =) — Somarinoa (talk) 07:48, January 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * In my opinion, you did quite well on those pages. Excellent work! — Somarinoa (talk) 09:17, January 23, 2013 (UTC)

Yo
I plan on being active here for now, just letting you know.

PS: I'm administrating like 3 wikis so it's hard to have time, but I'll try.--面白い 18:59, January 24, 2013 (UTC)
 * I perfectly understand — I admin or otherwise moderate 11 wikias myself, and edit anywhere between those 11 and 31 total wikias daily; it can easily take a majority of my time just to make my rounds. Do what you can when you can, we'll certainly appreciate it. =D — Somarinoa (talk) 10:40, January 25, 2013 (UTC)

You sir, makes me look lazy x3, also can you take me out of the "retired" ASPF personnel? I'm here o_o'--面白い 02:40, January 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh! Of course! And yeah, I'm pretty insane with my wiki work, though it stretches me thin so I can't add like 50 pages a day here like I used to and that I'd like to do. ; - ; — Somarinoa (talk) 05:38, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

Template
I noticed there was no template for planets, what do you think of this sketchy template I made? Template:Planet--面白い 02:35, January 26, 2013 (UTC)

please help
can you please transfer the terra universe crap to another wiki? It needs to be deleted. . .badly, and I will feel guilty if I just delete it. ralok (talk) 14:49, January 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that, I was out of town all day. Is there still work needing to be done? I was never really sure about whether the Terra universe was real or not. — Somarinoa (talk) 07:28, January 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * It has all been removed, and it was false 90% of the planet images were from star wars. ralok (talk) 17:23, January 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * OK, that's cool. If it got deleted before being moved as a bureaucrat I can deal with that since I can restore pages (and then just simply not actually restore them, instead simply using it to grab the information back out), but it's a little more obnoxious as it requires having to delete a bunch of rows of gibberish and such when I go to paste the info elsewhere. My Internet has been pretty cruddy for the last few days (storm, maybe) but I can definitely attempt at least to work on that stuff. Browser hates attempting to edit wikias right now especially but with 50 reloads, I can probably get it to actually load at least once per page, heh. — Somarinoa (talk) 22:33, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

I personally wouldnt consider those pages worth-it :/ but if you want to ressurect them to transfer them. . . be my guest, I will focus on creating as much new content as I cant. ralok (talk) 22:38, January 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * Well, as an administrator/moderator/and such, I tend to try to keep myself pretty professional. I do what I can to keep my personal opinions out of my equations (I'm not saying everyone needs to do that, that's just how I do it). As an artist and as a writer, I know that you are supposed to keep a portfolio of literally everything you've ever done, and never get rid of anything, ever. As a grown up who spent my life creating things and perhaps overdosing on my own imagination, I cannot picture my life without having that material I've done around me still, despite how absolutely terrible of a writer I was when I was 10 in comparison to now. I generally try not to assume anything or have a strict line about how talented someone needs to be at something to feel that they can contribute -- try to give everyone an equal opportunity to express themselves, even when they do it in ways I may or may not agree with. I also have had hundreds of pieces of content of mine -- that I actually put a lot of work into -- purged from SporeWiki several times over the years and I therefore lose access to the info since I go through a computer every other year and therefore cannot keep the info reliably on any hard drive for too long. SporeWiki made me grow to have a strong disliking for taking away people's only access to their own information since I knew that I had no more access to my info for years at a time because of their idiotic purges (they would wait until they have ~20,000 articles and then purge down to ~1,000, seemingly without any rhyme or reason to what stayed and what went). I like to leave people the opportunity to get their stuff back if they, like me, ever choose to do so. Also,  sorry for the wall of text .


 * I actually went and bought 6 new sci-fi books while out of town the other day, and I am hoping that there are some aliens or planets mentioned in them. If there are, I will be adding all of those as I go along. I was working on adding all the images for illustrated sapient K-letter species from Star Wars, too. I can work on getting those pages actually added in, if we want an influx of content. Keeping in mind of course that my net may or may not suck. — Somarinoa (talk) 23:09, January 31, 2013 (UTC)

need your opinion on this
this is a difficult subject ralok (talk) 21:49, February 8, 2013 (UTC)


 * I was curious when this discussion would finally pop back up again. I wasn't sure whether you had given up on finding us a better term or were doing research. I've made a couple of comments thus far, and I'll keep a close watch on the page to see how this turns out. — Somarinoa (talk) 00:51, February 9, 2013 (UTC)

Predator Page (Remake)
I have come to the conclusion that the predator page is irreparable, I have started recreating a new page for the Yautja from scratch. And I would like your opinion on it, click here to see it. I had to create a new format for the page to show the sources of non-film information, so that contradictory information doesnt butt-heads. . . if it works out, it is my hope to redo the xenomorph page in a similiar way (for it is also borked). ralok (talk) 23:22, February 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * Oh yeah, I haven't so much as gone near the Yautja or Xenomorph pages in years if my calculations are correct — they were by far the most commonly edited articles and so I as we picked up and got more staff, I just left those two to everyone else while I dealt in the more obscure (despite that Yautja and Xenomorphs are within my top 5 aliens ever). I'll go check it out here soon as I can. — Somarinoa (talk) 10:44, February 21, 2013 (UTC)

96.243.246.134
this anon has been creating problems first he has vandalized the Anunnaki then he created a useless page Snake Men I gave him a months block so he won't be around for a while but I have a feeling this wannabe troll will be back --Owen1983 (talk) 19:22, February 25, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up, I will definitely keep an eye out for him or any other vandals. Were the vandalisms bad enough to warrant a protection of the Anunnaki page and if so has we as a collective done that yet? — Somarinoa (talk) 04:43, February 26, 2013 (UTC)

he just added a useless line on the Anunnaki and created a page titled snake men article so i did a roll back and Blocked him I am glad I stopped a would be vandal if there any more people like him i will inform you by. --Owen1983 (talk) 19:19, February 26, 2013 (UTC)


 * Awesome. Keep up the good work. — Somarinoa (talk) 01:28, February 27, 2013 (UTC)

69.94.169.125 13:12, March 28, 2013 (UTC) Do you mind if I move the Razor Centipede to the Fanon site myself? I'll report to you when it's done, so somebody can delete it on this page.

69.94.169.125 13:19, March 28, 2013 (UTC) What I meant by "move", is to write exactly what it says, but on the sister site. But, I'm not going to do it until I get permission from a high ranking user first.


 * Absolutely, go for it. I'm surprised it isn't up there already. You can even move other fanon if you find it on here before we do. =) — Somarinoa (talk) 22:35, March 28, 2013 (UTC)

69.94.169.125 13:42, April 1, 2013 (UTC) I've finished the page and I think you might be happy with the results. Now Razor Centipede can be deleted on this page.


 * Awesome, thanks for the heads up. :) — Somarinoa (talk) 01:48, April 2, 2013 (UTC)

Hello old friend
Got any room for a captain coming out of retirement? Insurgence {ADMIN} 21:29, April 2, 2013 (UTC)


 * Absolutely! We can always use the help and you're one of the first names to pop into my head when I think of contributors who have helped us out a lot. =) Do you need reinstatement? — Somarinoa (talk) 00:27, April 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * Nope, still have my admin rights. Just wondering what's changed (anything I should know about that would affect editing/policy?). Also, would you like me to archive your talk page? It's a little... full. :P Insurgence {ADMIN} 03:06, April 3, 2013 (UTC)


 * OK cool, that makes things easier than, hehe. You know, I was just looking at this talk page and thinking to myself, "That's... rather grotesque." If you'd like to save me the time and effort of figuring out the coding of archiving this puppy I'd be quite appreciative! As for changes, lately we've been purging a lot of fanon from the site, which includes, I believe, most of Dantescifi's posts for Star Wars races -- don't get me wrong, the races tend to actually exist, but the information on them hasn't been solid. Stuff we find that is fanon I've been trying to get moved over to Extraterrestrial Fanon (our new fanon sister site, as the new ruler of Aliens Fanon stated a while back that they wanted that fanon site to become strictly about AVP stuff, though frankly that completely killed the site; I run ET Fanon however so we know that information is safe there and definitely will remain allowed). I need to post up ET Fanon as a Sister Site on the front page along with the others but haven't had time to create a primary image yet (real life gets in the way a lot).


 * I personally prefer to get the content moved first before it gets deleted as, as a science fiction writer myself, I've kept all my information posted on a wiki (SporeWiki to be precise, because that's how it used to be handled, all concept alien races) as I go through computers fairly fast so it was easier to have it banked online than expect to be able to keep the information safe on my computer, only to have SporeWiki purge vast swathes of it. It's quite frustrating, and it can take me upwards of a year or more to convince them to restore info I need. However, if you were to help with this fanon purge here and didn't move the info, I wouldn't front you or anything and simply try to move it on my own. Moving it yourself though would absolutely help me and ET fanon out.


 * As for policy changes, we've not had anything too terribly new and exciting or draconic and ever-frightening, outside of how much the majority of our staff want the fanon out of here. There is a new template for creatures that we should start updating pages too, however.


 * As usual, any content we don't have added that you know about, of course, please feel free to post it up! And I apologize for the wall of text... it seems that no matter the more I try to make something short and sweet, the longer it becomes, haha... oh well. — Somarinoa (talk) 03:13, April 4, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks for letting me know, when I need anything, I'll tell you.

Skyrim
I wonder if the Elder Scrolls universe's main setting, Nirn, doesn't classify as "terrestrial", perhaps a change of wiki to anything that is from Nirn, only counting Oblivion and its dwellers as "alien".Gobi-Aoi 11:35, April 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * Nirn is not meant to be earth, thus aliens ralok (talk) 15:12, April 30, 2013 (UTC)


 * True, Nirn is shown from a planet view proving it not to be Earth. It is referred to as a Water Planet and has two orbiting moons, as well.  In a similar vein, the Might & Magic/Heroes of Might & Magic games also take place on (several) planets, and Warcraft takes place on another (two primary) planet(s), with each specifically indicating that it is another planet other than Earth.  What I want to know personally is, is Nosgoth supposed to be Earth or is it, as I always saw it as a kid, another planet?  I am uncertain if they've ever specified or not. — Somarinoa (talk) 20:32, April 30, 2013 (UTC)

Category name capitalisation?
This might come off as a little pedantic but I was just wondering what was up with the capitalisation of category names? There is some inconsistency but the vast majority of them are capitalised as so "Star Wars Universe" however while "Star Wars" is a proper noun, being the name of a work, "universe" is just a noun, therefore shouldn't it be capitalised as "Star Wars universe"? I looked through the naming policies and saw nothing about it so I thought I would ask. I realise that given the sheer number of pages and categories on this wiki that even if you agree with me, it may feel like too much effort to change them all and instead change the ones that don't use the majority format to being the same, but I feel that it could be done with enough effort it can be done, I have had experience in doing such things on other wikis so am willing to help if it needs to be done. - The Light6 (talk) 11:23, May 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yeah but they aren't sentences, categories are the titles of pages dude. Generally most words in a title are capitalized. ralok (talk) 14:58, May 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * Yes, in most cases, now I know this isn't wikipedia and the same guidelines don't apply but its policy says what I am suggesting, hence why I suggested it when I found that there appeared to be no policy on the matter. - The Light6 (talk) 17:02, May 1, 2013 (UTC)

In Regards to my RFA
Could you either close ASPF:User Rights#Insurgence RFA by either granting rights, denying rights, or prolonging the voting for further input when you get the chance? Thanks. мет еж   21:42, May 10, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sorry, I would have dealt with this on that day but my Internet bandwidth (10 gigs total) got all used up by someone on my house property so I couldn't really use the net anymore for the month—could only get online during slow times at work. I'll get right on fixing this up here (I tried to extend the time because of this issue but looks like my edit didn't save, which happens a lot on this online deal at my home when we run out of bandwidth). — Somarinoa (talk) 08:10, June 1, 2013 (UTC)


 * No worries, but thank you!  мет еж   Vergina Sun.png 19:54, June 18, 2013 (UTC)

New Lookout
Well tis me, Jadenyuki93 from the Supreme Dragonball Wiki AKA Lookout. Because Kuzon was sick of struggling with users like Geti and arguing with Zion over the control of the wiki, being constantly insulted, and called a bad admin...we made a new wiki and forgot the past. The lookout is dead but there is a new lookout and most of the old members of lookout are there now. You should join. http://dbzuniverse.wikia.com/wiki/Dragon_Ball_Universe_Wiki 04:22, June 15, 2013 (UTC)


 * That is unfortunate to hear about Lookout, but I will definitely make the journey to the new one. The wiki is dead! Long live the wiki!  ..I'll make my way there now, in fact. — Somarinoa (talk) 21:05, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

Go back to lookout, its alive again
Bah, I forgot to tell you. We don't go to Dbz Universe wiki, it is inactive now. The old lookout, Supreme Dragonball Wiki, got back on its feet in late June - early July. I forgot to tell you. Lookout got back into business because Kuzon decided to go back to it and he changed his mind. Everything is back to normal now. Kuzon decided he didn't want to be an admin anymore, so did Zion. Kuzon demoted himself but he is still active and gets on chat, he is just a normal user now. He is also going to make a big role-play arc soon. As you might know, different people use Zion's account (they are all his brothers). The Zion that created the wiki was named Ron, he was the one who met Kuzon at UDBW. Ron left after a while but his brother Reggie began to use his account. Ron was in May and he left in late June, thats when Reggie came. After Reggie left, his brother Erick came. Erick was kind of a jerk though and wasn't well liked. Then, Ron returned to wikia in May but recently he left and Reggie has come back. Reggie is the new Zion and he is super friendly, you will like him.

Feel free to go back to lookout and start edtiing again, we are active again. 17:24, August 13, 2013 (UTC)


 * Sure, I can do that! I'll see you there. — Somarinoa (talk) 06:04, August 15, 2013 (UTC)

but I have had to explain this about Space Station 13 way too many times, some people obviously have some sort of infatuation with it. ralok (talk) 00:47, September 16, 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, your wiki pages appear to be far too hostile an environment for me to make any further contributions. I'm sorry, but I won't be making any further contributions since they are obviously not welcome.
