New Policy Warranted?
I beleive we should set up a rule about allowed level of dirtiness for a source material, if one I've overlooked doesn't currently exist. For instance, we should define why Ballchinians are allowed (the whole "ball, chin" thing, yet they're in comedic media), why Tentacle Monsters are not (the whole "they're slimy, gross and particularly offensive and originated in adult films" thing), and where the line is for creatures in the middle, like the muppet Horny Aliens that appeared in Puppet Up!, which was a live show; does it warrant allowance or banning, being on that border? Or what about some alien race in anime intended to poke fun at tentacle monsters in hentai, but don't appear in hentai themselves (I swear this has happened once or twice that I remember from my anime watching days a decade ago)? Seems like a smart move. -- Somarinoa 17:44, January 11, 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  01:32, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for putting up a request for it. The wording may have to be changed though depending on what we work it out to be. Lord Phoenix  at your service  23:11, February 10, 2012 (UTC)

You deleted my Tree Hyena page?!KhAnubis 03:31, March 26, 2012 (UTC)

Dantescifi
While I appreciate all the species he's been adding up (though he's only copy-pasting, which I could have been doing all this time too...but that's alright, I suppose; we really should at least have the articles, right?), his activity has become suspicious to me, and I've been keeping an eye on him. Since he hasn't been adding images to his innumerable Wookieepedia articles that would otherwise possess them, I was taking the liberty of adding a few of them myself when I noticed he created some, but in the process noticing that a number of the pages he has been adding do not exist on Wookieepedia at all. The numbers are becoming staggering and honestly, I severely doubt that the Star Wars community would overlook so many species. The fact that so many of his articles also list them as looking "identical to " is also strange and highly suspect, as what writer of official fiction would do this so often? Wouldn't they simply use the existing races instead of making up some random "identical to another" race? Star Wars has thousands of races, sapient, non-sapient and semi-sapient. I think they could find a race to suit their needs.

The thing that made me truly suspicious however was when I posted up my questioning as to what books these species came from or if they happened to be fanon, Dantescifi  deleted  every instance of me creating talk pages about it, and then refused to respond to his own talk page. That is not a natural reaction unless someone is trying to hide something.

I have come to the conclusion that a large number of his articles are in fact fanon, and he is abusing the wiki for his own monumental achievement gain. I suggest a hearing between the admins to figure out what to do about his actions. In the end, temporarily blocking or even permabanning him does not take too much away from us - I can easily copypasta like 10-50 Wookieepedia articles a day myself; I just prefer to rewrite all the information I come across, which generally takes time per article and usually leads to me adding far fewer articles than I otherwise could be contributing. It should be noted that there is a second Star Wars wiki that I know of - The Old Republic Wiki. I have not checked this site for his adds yet to see if they may have made their first appearance in that game, though I highly doubt it to be true that they did (though I do know one fan created species does appear in Old Republic). I will begin compiling a list of species he has added that I cannot find on Wookieepedia or Old Republic Wiki, and create a blog about it so it's easier for everyone to access. Keep me and the others posted on thoughts or ideas. -- Somarinoa 15:11, April 6, 2012 (UTC)

Hey i spell metarex wrong can you makeit right from jake

Roy
A long and complicated tale that I won't get into. In short, he summoned me to do his bidding and help him overthrow the admins on wikitroid. I did not allow this to reach fruition. Insurgence:  Speak!  01:02, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Hey i need your help I got the name for the metarex wrong can you get the name right and add a photo to it from jake 00:12 May 28, 2012

Ralok
He only has temporary admin status. He's losing it in a day or so. Insurgence:  Speak!  00:28, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Adminship is a serious thing. He not only needs to be well versed with Wikia functions, he also needs to friendly, approachable, and willing to seek out users' problems and fix them. Not to say Ralok doesn't fit these goals, but admin rights are not needed to do a lot of these things and we have an over-abundance of admins at the moment. Just giving you my point of view on it.

PredatorClassic
please block the user PredatorClassic, he has repeatedly vandalized the pages concerning xenomorphs and their predalien variant. He has also inserted comments in an improper format into the middle of the conversations on my talk-page and has announced his intention to continue to vandalize the pages. He clearly does not understand the purpose of this wiki. ralok 01:15, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

I'm back!
Hello fellow ASW crewmembers! I'd like to deeply apologize for my five months absence here, caused by combination of computer problems and lack of free time. I see you have done some amazing work, ASW is looking better than ever. I realize that it was very irresponsible of my part to stay away for so long. But I'm back now and planning to stay! I've just created pages for the Levanians, Selenites, Sensorites and a couple of others. I'll do my best to add at least one new species every week from now on. -- BlueFrackle (talk) 19:57, August 13, 2012 (UTC)

Eloi
Hi there Owen! Thanks for adding the Eloi to NAC, but I'd like to ask you to restore their page here on ASW. Let's have them on both wikis at least until we can reach an agreement on what should be moved and what shouldn't. Also, Ralok appears to be annoyed with us segreating aliens and non-aliens. The issue is complicated, and I'll write a blog post on it as soon as I have time. I invited Ralok to help me with that if he wanted; you can help too if you wish, the more we all collaborate the better. - BlueFrackle (talk) 15:57, November 9, 2012 (UTC)

Hello, One question: I added an entry for Epona which you edited and you removed one of the images. I've never created an entry for any wiki, so If I made an error let me know for the future. Thanks for adding the Content table.Mister Silver (talk) 18:45, November 15, 2012 (UTC)

Image concerns.
Hey,

I thought i should inform somebody here on this wikia that your images for Dreugh is stolen from the UESP wikia. My wikia (The Elder scrolls wikia) has had trouble in the past for having their images on our wikia without their consent.

I would recommend, for the sake of preventing it from becoming a problem, to replace the image as soon as possible.

I would also recommend you look into archiving your message page, its extremely long, but that's more of my opinion and a concern.

Thanks for reading and happy editing.

I just didnt want to see any trouble come your way, the guys at the UESP wikia are good people, but they dont like having their stuff copied, I Posted a link to the article the image and info came from on the articles talk page.

I want to add im not trying to get anybody in trouble, i did the same thing when i started editing, so i have no doubt i was added in good faith.

Cheatcodechamp (talk) 22:45, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

well wend i return back to my place on my other PC i can take a picture of the Dreugh from Morrowind also just in case by bethesda policy you/i/we don't own the screenshot even if you or i took it.--Linkmadara 23:32, December 10, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Dreugh
yeah my bad,i took the image from there ,i forgot UESP is not part of Wikia ,but the description actually came from a hunter character in the video game morrowind.--Linkmadara 05:53, December 11, 2012 (UTC)

humanoids
STOP IT DUDE D:, you cant add "humanoids" to the pages for individual characters. . . that doesnt make sense D: you add the category for their species, which would then be sorted into a category for physical traits :I ralok (talk) 23:25, December 13, 2012 (UTC)

its okay, physical trait pages get confusing at times > _ < I tried to work out a system a while back using the "Hidden Categories" mechanic but it didnt work out. ralok (talk) 00:21, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

Awards
I believe it's time we give User:Ralok the golden star award of ASW, he has been under laborious efforts to organize the wiki and created many new pages as well -- BlueFrackle (talk) 15:46, December 17, 2012 (UTC)

cool
yay me :D I only had to torment myself to earn it :D ralok (talk) 21:28, December 17, 2012 (UTC)
