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)

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)

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)

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)

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)

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!
