[edit] Welcome!
Hi SGCommand, and a warm welcome to Wikipedia! I hope you have enjoyed editing as much as I did so far and decide to stay. Unfamiliar with the features and workings of Wikipedia? Don't fret! Be Bold! Here's some good links for your reference and that'll get you started in no time!
Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :
- RC Patrol - Keeping a lookout for vandalism.
- Cleanup - Help make unreadable articles readable.
- Requests - Wanted on WP, but hasn't been created.
- Merge - Combining duplicate articles into one.
- Wikiprojects - So many to join, so many to choose from...Take your pick!

[edit] Image copyrights
Like Wikipedia, Wikicities is covered by the GFDL. That means that all content (text) uploaded to it is also. Uploaded images must have an image copyright tag stating the licensing information on them. Copyright (for intellectual property purposes) is retained by the original author unless they sell it or relinquish it; whether you can use an image or not depends on what the copyright holder has said. For example, I could draw a picture of a cube in Paint, uploaded, and release it into the public domain because it has no creative aspect. Then again, I could draw a picture (not a diagram) of a tree, and license it under the GFDL and a few Creative Commons licenses (yes, there are several). In a third case, I could make a TV program and try and sue anyone who puts pictures on the Internet; they could claim fair use, or I could have no case if it was a promontional picture (eg. a movie poster).
In short: Go read Wikipedia:Image copyright tags. Alphax τεχ 15:36, 11 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Peace Brigade
In my talk page, you asked if I wanted help you out on the Star Wars orginizations. While I'm flattered, I haven't read enough novels to feel really qualified to write on a lot of stuff. I might be able to help on some of the companies, using the essential guides. I also might be able to help out on the Mistryl Shadow Guard, but I think that one would probably be best on the List of minor Star Wars organizations.-LtNOWIS 19:03, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] MySpace
to do all of that editing, go to http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=messageboard.viewThread&entryID=253516&categoryID=68&IsSticky=1 (it is a forum post, if it asks you to log in, do so). It provides links to any site you might need to go to to help you, even links to sites where you just choose how you want your page to look like, and it generates the codes for you -- AlexTheMartian | Talk 22:07, Apr 24, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] About fiction/reality distinction
When you make articles about STAR WARS, could you please mention clearly that what you write is a fiction ? The fact is that you are not mentionning it, which is quite disturbing for unfamiliar readers. I know it's tiring to systematically put In Star Wars, X is a ... but it's really necessary.

SG, might I ask why you copied our, no, my list of moffs to Wikipedia. You know that only a handful (maybe not even that) might even been worthy of this site. The list should only exist on Wookieepedia. -- Riffsyphon1024 10:49, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Gelf and Nestenes
"Gelf" is incorrect. The race in The Unquiet Dead is spelled "Gelth". The Nestenes (or Nestene Consciousness) is the intelligence that animates the Autons, as seen in Spearhead from Space and Terror of the Autons. While not named as Autons in dialogue in Rose, the credits to that episode list the actors playing "Autons". --khaosworks 12:52, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
- The Gelth don't deserve their own article, as everything that really needs to be said is already in The Unquiet Dead. As for the Nestene Consciousness, I'd say no, because it does not appear apart from the Autons, and the Autons are frankly better known. Again, the history and information is all in the Auton article. --khaosworks 12:59, Jun 13, 2005 (UTC)
SGCommoand said: I might as well oppose
- What, are you just doing this to annoy me? Do you have a reason for opposing? Cause if you dont, I'm going to merge them tommorrow. 203.184.24.123 07:42, 19 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] User page
I have updated the CVU template. Thought you wouldnt mind ;) --Cool Cat Talk 21:58, 14 October 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Torchwood
It would be severely premature at this point, I think - it's only been a day since the announcement! Any information can go into the main article and then be split off once it gets big enough. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 15:58, 18 October 2005 (UTC)
He's a major player in one film. Wikipedia has guidelines relating to fictional characters, and they state rather plainly that characters within a work of fiction should be covered within the article dedicated to that work of fiction, unless they can be demonstrated to transcend their source (for instance, by appearing in multiple works), or are recognized cultural icons. Kadaj is neither, and, as such, does not deserve his own article. This has been discussed at great length previously, and it the consensus of those involved was that there simply isn't enough of general interest to say about the character (beyond fancruft) that can't be said just as well in another, more broadly focused article. – Seancdaug 12:19, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Christmas trees
I always knew those Christmas trees were trouble. Still, the trees may simply be possessed by the Sycorax or something... we'll find out in a month. :) --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 12:30, 18 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Red Button
Don't know yet, but from the looks of things, it'll be a tag on to The Christmas Invasion. We'll have to wait and see. --khaosworks (talk • contribs) 14:57, 21 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Villians and villains
Just a note so you know - you've got "villain" misspelled as "villian" throughout your user page, including in the titles of the articles you're working on. I'd have fixed it for you, but I didn't really feel I could go moving your subpages around when you'd specially asked people to leave them alone, so I've left the lot untouched. — Haeleth Talk 22:33, 29 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] New user box
