User talk:Ralok

Welcome
Hi, welcome to Alien Species! Thanks for your edit to the Bio-raptors page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Somarinoa (Talk) 04:41, April 16, 2012

Answering rhetorical question
Yes. Fauna. It is this websites' word for what most science-fiction writers would simply call "animals", which is wholly incorrect as animals evolved specifically on Earth and nowhere else (unless at one point removed from Earth). For the same reasoning, we refer to plant-analogs as "flora", as plantae is a kingdom on Earth, again, specifically. -- Somarinoa 08:14, May 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * No fauna is just a fancy world for animals it isnt meant to be specific to earth. There is a distinction between sapient beings and fauna though, sapient beings are the shapers of the landscape, non-sapient beings are simply figures in the landscape. Sorry symphony of science is blazing in the speakers XD ralok 08:23, May 18, 2012 (UTC)

Thanks
I have check the pages you marked for deletion and all of them we did not need you this has helped keep ASW clean Thank you for doing this and keep it up. --Owen1983 19:50, May 18, 2012 (UTC)
 * I am only doing my duty, to help make this place a bright beacon showcasing the grand scope of human creativity. ralok 00:35, May 19, 2012 (UTC)

Nomination
You've been nominated for admin here. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs} 21:53, May 24, 2012 (UTC)

Re:That hurt man
As I said before, it's nothing personal. Don't lose faith anyway, it's still the decision of the community which will be decided by majority. I just don't think we need another admin. Anyway, admin powers mostly consist of deleting pages and blocking vandals. Anyone can nominate a page for deletion, but the deletion still needs to be discussed anyway, and the cases where it doesn't usually equate to vandalism. You can redo the front page as it is now without admin powers, if the ASPF agrees it should be redone (which I do) and you can request temporary admin rights to redo the theme, if you give us an idea of what you're planning to do. Neither of those things require permanent admin rights.

It's not personal, and an admin needs to be able to set aside their emotions when they come to a disagreement. I know you will understand. Insurgence:  Speak!  19:53, May 25, 2012 (UTC)

pleased
I am pleased you requested admin rights because


 * You have the wikis best interests in mind


 * You are a good spam spotter


 * Your eagerness to help out sets a good example for others this impresses me


 * Finely Adminship is something you would excel at. --Owen1983 11:22, May 27, 2012 (UTC)


 * I am particularly eager because this wiki literally doubles the meaning of many of the pages I make on other wikis! ralok 11:33, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Main Page changes
If you are planning to make drastic changes to the main page, I'd recommend creating a subpage of your user page like, User:Ralok/New Main Page or something. That way you have a place to work without having to disrupt the main page too much. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs} 18:11, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Congratulations
As first officer I would like to welcomr you to the ASPF. --Owen1983 22:53, May 27, 2012 (UTC)

Logo
Wait, why did you change the logo? I sorta liked it before. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs} 02:35, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * I was actually trying to go for something specific with the logo, I wanted to replicate the white text . . . and have the same starscape as the background on the wiki, I have this basic placeholder until I can find the starscape for the old logo! ralok 02:42, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

New Theme
I was wondering what you had planned for the theme there. Good choice! -- 04:49, May 28, 2012 (UTC)

Hey i need you help I got the wrong name for the Metarex from Sonic X can you help me now

Hey. Could you come on the chat when you get the chance? Insurgence:  Speak!  22:08, May 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Do you think you can demote yourself now? You've accomplished what you needed admin status to do. Insurgence:   Speak!  21:50, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

I have never had to demote myself before, so I am not sure how to do it. . . give me a minute to figure it out. . . I am currently in the middle of res-structuring the front page ralok 21:53, May 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok, when you're done, go to the admin dash board - user rights - type in your name - click the checked administrator box. Also, don't get rid of the sister projects thing. I sort of made a deal with the good folks over at Multiverses to keep it on. Insurgence:   Speak!  21:56, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

I tried to not get rid of anything, just re-structing it. I also want to add a blog-feed but the thing is i dont know how to limit the number of blogs that appear on the front page to two ralok 22:01, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

okay done, I am no longer an administrator. ralok 22:12, May 30, 2012 (UTC)

I am realty impressed with the main page --Owen1983 16:39, May 31, 2012 (UTC)

Which ones? So far I've got 2 sources, please be specific, the Paulans/Cybiota, or the brinker-roos/jellyblimps etc.?Fanaticalien45 00:24, June 13, 2012 (UTC)fanaticalien45

Okay, I think I know what you're talking about, the aliens come from a book called "National Geographic Picture Atlas of Our Universe", it's an old book with a speculative section on alien life, I have not made them up. It's little known, I found some of it's material online an various blogs.

Vandal
Don't give him much of a reaction. That will feed him a response, which is what they want. "Don't feed the trolls." The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs} 03:00, June 14, 2012 (UTC)

THANKS
I have investigated and block him.--Owen1983 16:41, June 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for patrolling, I've been away recently. My deepest gratitude! Insurgence:   Speak!  {ADMIN} 03:46, June 26, 2012 (UTC)

Logical error?
I would probably agree if it wasn't shown officially in-universe to be used as such (as that is the entire point of that one room), and we're here for all known information along with attempts to better understand species through (openly-stated) speculation. There would be no reason for it to be stated if it wasn't precisely referenced in-game, though it is (and I've definitely seen the room personally in Skyrim). The games used to be a bit more sexual in content before Morrowind (I don't remember too much about Arena but Daggerfall certainly was; it was the first game I ever experienced mature content in so I remember it well) and that room is presumably a throwback to the old ways of the series. I am not sure I see how that then is a logical error. Where precisely does the line get drawn on correct information? — Somarinoa 00:38, July 1, 2012 (UTC)
 * There was a few errors, first in teh phrasing implying common usage . . . second the fact tha any object . . . can . . . I dont want to say this . . . I will use a metaphor .. . . object A goes into slot B . . . object A can be any object that does not exceed slot Bs size . . . we dont need to state that it can be used for that . . . when there is a trillion other such object that can be used for that . . . :I . . . more practical uses of horker tusks should be listed, such as alchemical effects from morrowind . . . its average value presented in both games . . . ralok 03:09, July 1, 2012 (UTC)

I heard there is going to be a new Dragon ball z series called dragon ball hoshi. Is it real?--119.160.142.4 17:42, July 3, 2012 (UTC)


 * I would say no . . . these sort of things dont usually happen with japanese works . . . they ususalyl dont have expanded works, or new works beyond the main story . . . and if you ask me it makes Japanese science fiction really boring ralok 18:51, July 3, 2012 (UTC)

please be civil
To start I appreciate you getting you helping get rid of trash but your edit summery for Mastimee could have been better IE use of caps is shouting and you were angry actions like these start nastiness and promote bad karma which is not what I want. so pleas don't let it happen again. --Owen1983 (talk) 17:15, August 7, 2012 (UTC)

Wanna help?
Hey Ralok, thought you'd be interested in moving all the fanon info we have on the site to a new sister wikia I came up with, Extraterrestrial Fanon Wiki. Figured you probably know what a lot of it happens to be considering how often I see you editing pages like that, haha. — Somarinoa (talk) 02:12, August 19, 2012 (UTC)
 * sure, if I have time ralok (talk) 02:18, August 19, 2012 (UTC)

Alien Species
Hello Ralok! First, I believe I haven't talked to you yet so I'd like to give my personal welcomes to the ASW and thank you for all the help you've been giving us. Second, there's a small question I'd like to make. I've noticed you have been removing all pages from the alien species category. I'm not particularly fond of that category myself (while it's nice to have all alien species in a single place, it is also sort of unfocused and not easy to navigate) but I'm curious: why are you doing that? If there's a fair reason, I could help you by taking care of not including it in the next pages I add. If not, it's likely that I'll do the same, just so I won't spoil your efforts; but I like to know the reasons for changes, even small ones. See you around! -- BlueFrackle (talk) 23:42, September 5, 2012 (UTC)
 * There is a very simple reason, this is the alien species wiki . . . we dont need to state that they are alien species twice! If it is here it is an alien species, even if it is alien by only the narrowest of definitions. Besides can you name any species that . . . isnt alien to you? I bet I could squeeze every creature on earth into the definiton of being alien, by some type of logic. It just feels like a redundant un-needed category. ralok (talk) 02:42, September 6, 2012 (UTC)
 * Thanks! That makes a lot of sense, we're all aliens from some-being's point of view, and there is no reason to make the wiki more anthropocentric. I also apologize for the delay in answering. On a side note, I really liked your rewrite of the Grey page, good work on that! Cheers :) BlueFrackle (talk) 23:44, September 11, 2012 (UTC)

Okay, I know you are helping cleaning some categories, but maybe you could leave some that clarified what type of aliens they are, other than humanoids?User:Soulslayer317


 * I am trying to keep the categories BASIC for the time being until it can be determined . . . what the categories should be named, there are about 8 categories for reptillian species, 5 for amphibians. . . there is too much dispute over what some of these categories even mean, like descendants of man . . . and near human, these two categories are basically the same, so which one gets used? ralok (talk) 18:48, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Well I can see where you going, there have been some with similar names and it can be confusing I would've thought someone noticed it by now. And to note about the illustration of the Dryad,I like to pint out its not fan art but part of the illustration. User:Soulslayer317


 * this wiki is a huge mess, and it is going to take a long time to sort out . . . ralok (talk) 19:01, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Re:House cleaning
I could nominate you to become a permanent admin on ASPF:User Rights if you wish. If you'd rather be just for a few weeks I believe we can skip the votes procedure, but you'll have to ask Somarinoa, he's the only one who can change user rights status -- BlueFrackle (talk) 01:47, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Hi ralok, i have seen aliens. Though i was in an asylum then lol. Anyways, i woundered is this wiki done by proper reseahers? You may need to look at the Sontaran page. 78.144.55.172 19:16, September 12, 2012 (UTC)


 * Working on this page by page. ralok (talk) 19:21, September 12, 2012 (UTC)

Re:Hypernauts in Galleries
No problem, done already! And thanks for the suggestion, I had heard about Hypernauts but never watched it. Can of Worms, I honestly have no idea what it is (which makes me glad you're adding it, heheheheh) -- BlueFrackle (talk) 18:54, September 20, 2012 (UTC)

Draconizica
Please restore the Draconizica page. Keep in mind that there are aliens on this wiki that are also from lesser known books, movies and games. If it helps get it restored, you may remove the self published link. Restore the page, please. It offers as resource to fans of TSODR. The book is copyrighted and has a proper fanbase. I know it is normal for you to dismiss anything not published with a "professional" tag like Penguin, EA, Random House, Harper Collins or Square Enix, but that does not mean it's not worthy of inclusion on this wiki, and if you're going to delete the page forever, restore it so I can grab the source code.

Thedragongod (talk) 00:41, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

Thank you for restoring the page. I wanted to mention that I did sell phsyical copies of the book and it was copyrighted three years ago, and that spelling error in the title is wholly intentional. I did make a wiki for it months ago, but it sees no kind of action. I'm not sure how you could help because you haven't read the book and know nothing of the characters, but if I need your help with anything about it, I will contact you.

Thedragongod (talk) 02:49, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

I'm actually the original author of the book and it was bound and printed by Lulu, not by my home printer. Sorry that you find the title immature, the ocntent surely is not. If you ever read it, leave your thoughts about it on my talk page.

Thedragongod (talk) 03:13, September 24, 2012 (UTC)

No problem ! :D

RE:Category confusion
i know that, but there 2 category for Sapient and Non-Sapient one containing the word species and the other one containing being.--Linkmadara 17:15, October 16, 2012 (UTC)
