Hi, nice to see a new user. Darth Void (Talk) 15:20, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
Editing
Edit
Hello Gnostic. Thanks for all your recent edits aimed towards article improvement. It's great to see you helping out. That said, please restrict your edits to spelling, grammar, formatting, mechanics, and other policy related issues. Adding, removing, or, in this case, changing content can't be done without the article author's permission. I've therefore reverted your latest edit to Alicia Dagger, because it's the author's choice what the image is. Just be sure to remember this in the future. Thanks, and keep up the great work! =) - Brandon Rhea

Image

Hey Gnostic. Just curious, did you create the entire File:Alicia Dagger 1.jpg image by yourself or did you edit any other images into that? - Brandon Rhea
(talk) 21:03, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
- It's all my own work. I do a lot of CG art in my free time. -- Gnostic (Talk) 21:05, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
Very impressive. Nice job. - Brandon Rhea

Re:Any Interest in a Custom Portrait for Anya Ser?
Edit
Well.. I don't know. If it wouldn't be too much trouble, then.. sure. Antonstaen (Talk) 13:45, November 18, 2009 (UTC)
Categories
Edit
Hey Gnostic, great job with all of the category work! If you could do me a favor, though, if you come across any articles with the category "Articles by Brandon Rhea," please leave that before the category "Alternative Star Wars Saga," which should in turn be the second category on one of my articles. That's my personal preference to have the name come before the series, and the typical precedent on SWF is to have the "Articles by" category come first, regardless of whether something comes before it alphabetically. Thanks! =) - Brandon Rhea

Joke articles and crossovers
Edit
Hey Gnostic. I just wanted to let you know that just because someone finds an article to be silly or something like that doesn't mean that the article is a joke. In order to be classified as an actual joke article and to have a joke article deleted, there really needs to be an intent to make a joke article. Anything else is purely subjective. Also, please be sure to read my "Keep" vote on Star Wars Fanon:Deletion page/Courage (dog) so you can gain a better understanding of the crossover policy. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea
(talk) 02:05, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
- Also, if you're going to place a potential deletion tag on article, such as {{Possiblejoke}}, you need to also create a discussion to go along with it. That template must have a corresponding discussion or else the tag is meaningless. Thanks! =) - Brandon Rhea
(talk) 02:07, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
- I'm confused. Your statement on the deletion page is that the article should stay, but instead of just deleting the "Possible Joke" tag, you replaced it with a straight "Deletion" tag...
- -- Gnostic (Talk) 15:40, December 9, 2009 (UTC)
Because you put up an incorrect deletion tag. {{Possiblejoke}} is a deletion tag, so for the duration of the deletion discussion I replaced it with the appropriate one - {{DeleteTalk}}. I did that because a) the deletion discussion was already ongoing and I can't stop it, and b) your deletion discussion was about crossovers, not jokes. - Brandon Rhea

Cheers for the edit
Edit
Hey Gnostic, hope your well. Just wanna say thanks for the edit mate I really appreciate it. Although the article Kentell Leknar isn’t finished yet would it be possible to get some personal feedback as to what you think about it so far? Cheers again, Corron Zenith (Talk) 04:38, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
Oi!
Edit
Did I say you edit my page? Darth Kieduss the Wise (Talk) 12:24, December 7, 1941 (UTC)
- Well, just now, you've implied that I edit your page, so I believe the answer to your question would be yes. If you meant to ask if you said I could edit your page, then I would suggest that you first specify which page you are referring to. -- Gnostic (Talk) 16:16, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
Don't worry about it, Gnostic. This user's been banned for a month (after several other bans) for his antagonistic attitude and inability to assume that editors like you are editing in good faith, as represented by his comment above. Keep doing what you're doing. =) - Brandon Rhea
(talk) 17:18, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
- Thanks. Last thing I need is a war with that idiot (although I did have a whole bunch of choice insults I was gonna unload if necessary...) -- Gnostic (Talk) 18:23, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
Insulting a user, even if they're temporarily banned, is still a personal attack. Please watch that in the future. Thanks. =) - Brandon Rhea
(talk) 20:48, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
- Relax. I was kidding. :p -- Gnostic (Talk) 21:17, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
Understandable, but we can't really moderate intent with stuff like that so it's best to not say those sorts of things at all. - Brandon Rhea
(talk) 21:48, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
Darth Kaos
Edit
- Hey Gnostic, you a fan of Darth Kaos? You've been doing a lot of articles based around him, coz I sure as hell didn't write Axmos Staal. If you liked the article that's great. Why not give your vote for its FAN? See you round --Thenorthernman (Talk) 21:35, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
According to the history of the Axmos Staal article, you did create that page. My only contribution to the page was the infobox and the alphabetized categories. -- Gnostic (Talk) 21:42, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
- Oh well. If you liked the Darth Kaos atricle, that's great. --Thenorthernman (Talk) 16:28, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
UOTM
Edit
Congratulations, Gnostic! You're the Star Wars Fanon user of the month for February 2010! =D - Brandon Rhea

- Congrats. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:47, February 1, 2010 (UTC)
Link breakage
Edit
Being a good samaritan here: Did you know that your link to the Mass Effect Fanon on your user page is broken?-I'm the Chosen OneSo the Prophecy says... 17:20, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
- Ahh, thanks. forgot to add the "c" to the link. -- Gnostic (Talk) 17:39, December 1, 2010 (UTC)
Re: Heads up
Edit
Thanks Gnostic. Do you need any help with the clean up? - Brandon Rhea
(talk) 03:58, May 28, 2011 (UTC)
Infobox
Edit
Rather than being reverted, Template:! had all content removed from the page, thereby breaking the infoboxes. It's working now. - Brandon Rhea

Special invitation for Gnostic!
