Hey

Hey, I noticed you edit Star Wars-related articles. Interested in joining the wikiproject? Happy editing! Deckiller 04:20, 20 February 2006 (UTC)

Sure, I'll give it a try. BryanG 02:34, 21 February 2006 (UTC)

Articles for deletion

The guy who made up those other articles just made a new one, The Tritithes. Jedi6-(need help?) 02:01, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Huh? Response

Thank you for noticing my vote. I have voted for that because the articles in question are about a specific part of the galaxy. So since we already have Star Wars galaxy and List of Star Wars systems, I think we should just merge this information into those articles. Afterall those articles talk about the different parts of the Star Wars galaxy. I am not aware if Alkanian Sector can be found anywhere on those articles. Ill go and check. Tutmosis 03:46, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Okay I checked and this is not mentioned anywhere there. I also checked Wookiepedia. So I come to a conclusion this is fan fiction. Im going now to change my vote to delete due to fan fiction allegations. Tutmosis 03:50, 16 March 2006 (UTC)

Highway 16

Thanks for the help on the western terminus. I wasn't paying attention to the map. jwhouk 01:38, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

As it just so happens, I'm located at the other end of the highway, about two miles North of the terminus at I-94.

Thanks for the help again. jwhouk 01:39, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

You showed support for the Star Wars Collaboration of the week. This week Heir to the Empire was selected to be improved to featured article status. We hope you can contribute.

Talk:ECC (Extremely Cool Cats)

You are correct, that wasn't me. I left a comment at Talk:ECC (Extremely Cool Cats) in response. Thanks! -Harmil 15:00, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Thanks for the vandal revert on my userpage

Thanks for the vandal revert on my userpage. The vandal was angered because I removed fair use images from his userpage in compliance with Wikipedia policy. It's unfortunate that he should react the way he did. --Durin 03:52, 5 April 2006 (UTC)

sorry

I was messing with the pictures thing. I wasn't getting along with the frame/thumb thing. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Candlemass01 (talk • contribs) 00:13, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

(from reply on User talk:Candlemass01): My problem is not with the formatting on the images, it's the use of the images themselves. Stop posting them, or you will be blocked. BryanG 00:17, 9 April 2006 (UTC)

C&VG

I have changed the title to List of deaths attributed to computer or video games and would like to request that you take a look again at this nomination. The attributions are verified, including, in at least one case the deputy coroner. There is no policy against such lists, and it serves a useful purpose in identifying deaths that have, in fact, been attributed to c&vg by reputable source. Yours, For great justice. 06:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

While the new title is more appropriate, I still feel the article should be deleted. I feel that the link between video games and deaths is tenuous at best, and I would be extremely reluctant to keep the article without a scientific study or two to back it up. Other AfD editors have expressed this better than I, as I noted in my new vote. BryanG 02:36, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for changing your reasoning in the AfD; it's nice to see one person at least not acting like this is a war. A lot of incivility going on in there.  :( Anyway, you've helped restore my faith. Mangojuice 21:33, 14 April 2006 (UTC)

May the Force be with you.

Dear BryanG/Archive 1,

Thanks for voting on my RFA! I appreciate your faith in me, and was overwhelmed by the positive response to my RFA; for it shows that at least I'm doing something right. :) I've started working to improve myself already, and I hope that next time, things run better, and maybe, just maybe, one day we can bask on the shores of Admintopia together. Thanks and cheers, _-M o P-_ 21:51, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

Silver Sonic Shadow

What, in your opinion, should be done about Silver Sonic Shadow (talk · contribs)? You voted "Delete" on seven of his articles, so presumably you agree that bulk-importing the Star Wars wiki into Wikipedia is a bad idea. But Silver Sonic Shadow has another forty or so articles out there, and he's still adding them. He's not responding to notes on his talk page. Can you try to recruit him for the Star Wars wiki, and perhaps distract him from this importing binge? Thanks. --John Nagle 06:36, 14 May 2006 (UTC)

Look's like he's stopped while I was away, so there's probably no need to do anything more. But if he starts up again I'll try to do something, maybe get him involved with Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars or something like that. On the imported articles, probably elements can be merged into our various SW lists, I'll try to give them a better look later this week. BryanG 21:20, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thank you for reverting the vandalism on my user page. IrishGuy 17:03, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

I was just about to list him when I saw you had already done so. What a pain this guy is being. He is vandalising you page every couple of seconds. IrishGuy 17:11, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

vandal

HA! - CobaltBlueTony 17:11, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Aw, I wanted my vandal counter to go into double digits... Just kidding, thanks everyone! BryanG 17:15, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the revert; I've broached the issue with the anon IP in question. C ya round E. Sn0 =31337= 01:39, 22 May 2006 (UTC)

Thanks

Thanks for the revert of my user page! Crazynas 06:02, 27 May 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Thanks

BryanG/Archive 1, thank you for participating in my RfA. Unfortunately, a great number of oppose voters felt that I lacked experience, and a consensus was not reached (the final tally was 30/28/10). Perhaps I will try again in another few months when I have a few more edits under my belt. If I do, I hope I can count on your support. Thanks again! Cool3 talk 20:10, 2 June 2006 (UTC) (UTC)

Wrong

It's breaking news. This is true information. Watch ABC News —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.167.56.56 (talk • contribs) 06:50, 8 June 2006.

I just flipped through all the news channels and Google News and got nothing (although the local ABC affiliate is off the air right now). I'd certainly like it to be true, but in the absence of any story I'm going to have to remove it. BryanG^(talk) 06:56, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

Watch ABC...don't flip

Buddy, flip to ABC News, they're doing a special report right now. Why do you think so many people keep changing the other article?

ABC World News Now is covering it extensively. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.167.56.56 (talk • contribs) 07:03, 8 June 2006.

I would, but where I live it's past 2 am and the local ABC station is off the air. Given the addition of a {{fact}} tag at Abu Musab al-Zarqawi, I'm going to just let those guys deal with it, since I'm going to bed. BryanG^(talk) 07:10, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

And now MSNBC has it on right now, so apparently it is accurate! Sorry! BryanG^(talk) 07:19, 8 June 2006 (UTC)

It's all good

I love this site. Fights about information are fun! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 67.167.56.56 (talk • contribs) 07:23, 8 June 2006.

Thank you

Hi BryanG/Archive 1, thank you for voting in my RFA which failed eventually at a result of (91/51/8). I do not plan to run for adminship until a later date. Once again, I would like to thank you for voting. --Terence Ong _{(talk | contribs)} 03:20, 14 June 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for your support

Dear BryanG/Archive 1,
Thank you very much for your support on my recent RfA. I am pleased to announce that it passed with a tally of 72/11/1, and I am now an administrator. I'll be taking things slowly at first and getting used to the tools, but please let me know if there are any admin jobs I can do to help you, now or in the future. —Cuiviénen 02:24, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

My RfA

Hello BryanG, and thanks for voting in my recent RfA, which passed with a tally of (68/19/3). I appreciated your comments, which I hope to take on board in order to gain your respect in my work as an administrator. Best of luck in your continued editing of the encyclopedia! Sam Vimes 19:52, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

My (Mtz206) RfA

Thanks for supporting me in my RFA. My Request was successful with 41 supports, 12 opposes and 5 neutrals, and I'll do my best to live up to your expectations. If in any point in the future you get the feeling I'm doing something wrong, do not hesitate to drop me a line. -- mtz206 (talk) 02:40, 22 June 2006 (UTC)
