From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.
[edit] Obligatory Goodbye Message
That's not to say, of course, that it is perfect. But it doesn't need to be flawless. It's the most trustworthy Star Wars source because it's a changing, growing, living thing—like a Vong superweapon, only more bloated.
And also because it's got an awesome crack team. For over two years now, I've been proud to be a part of that team, and even if I never edit Wookieepedia again, I will carry fond memories and say positive things.
May the Force be with you all. Be seeing you. Gonk (Gonk!) 13:48, 5 April 2009 (UTC)

- "Remember that to change thy opinion and to follow him who corrects thy error is as consistent with freedom as it is to persist in thy error."
- ―Marcus Aurelius[src]
- "It's called the gray fallacy. One person says white, another says black, and outside observers assume gray is the truth. The assumption of gray is sloppy, lazy thinking. The fact that one person takes a position that is diametrically opposed to the truth does not then skew reality so the truth is no longer the truth. The truth is still the truth."
- ―Tycho Celchu to Myn Donos and Gavin Darklighter[src]
- "The core group has rights that trump individual rights in some situations. This pulls against the libertarian view that's quite common on the network, and it absolutely pulls against the one person/one vote notion. But you can see examples of how bad an idea voting is when citizenship is the same as ability to log in."

- "The typical digital sharecropping website is a capitalist's fantasy. The workers receive no pay and no benefits, have no rights and their only option to address a grievance is to quit."

I was a Wookieepedia administrator from August 2007 to April 2009. I founded Darthipedia, the Star Wars Humor Wiki, in August 2007. Since April 2009, I have been inactive on Wikia.
I may still occasionally be found on Freenode IRC at #wookieepedia, #darthipedia, or #gonkipedia. You may contact me via my talk page, but don't expect a terribly prompt reply.
