User:Silly Dan

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Hello, I'm Silly Dan, a guy with a fresh doctorate in physics, a collection of Star Wars books, and a variable amount of free time.

I was elevated to adminstrator status on April 18th, 2006. I promise to use my powers either for good, or for awesome.

Admin links

Here are some important links I should look at every so often, as an admin:

• Wookieepedia:Speedy deletions
• Forum:Senate Hall
• Forum:Consensus track
• Forum:Administrators' noticeboard
• Wookieepedia:Vandalism in progress
• Wookieepedia:Requests for protection
• Wookieepedia:Requests for adminship
• Wookieepedia:Requests for bureaucratship
• Category:Verify
• Category:Banned users
• User:Silly Dan/Test (my own subpage for wiki foolishness)
• User:Silly Dan/Admin questions (how I would've answered the RfA questions if we had them then.)
• User:Silly Dan/Additional scenes in film adaptations: a project still in the sandbox stages, though I'd like it to be an article. Or maybe six articles.

Contributions

Actually, I dislike contributions sections on user pages. I keep most articles I create or contribute significantly to on my watchlist (a few hundred articles by now, most of them short), but a lot of them were originated, greatly expanded, or even completely rewritten by other users, so I feel silly trying to "claim" them. All the same, here are a few articles I enjoyed working on:

• Alien Exodus
• Artoo's favorite program
• The Battles of Yaga Minor and Bothawui, which led to the end of the Galactic Civil War
• The Battle of Nar Shaddaa, which eventually led to Han shooting first
• Bimkall Sector (does not exist, but gets an encyclopedia entry anyway)
• Brock Peters
• Charon (not all mine, I just think they're fun)
• Dog
• Finn
• Gotal
• Major Herrit
• Jefferson Starship
• List of references to Earth in Star Wars (or "If we're in another galaxy, what's with the rabbits"?)
• Myomaran
• Near-Human (I wrote very little of the text, but splitting it from Human was my idea.)
• Olfax
• PD-28
• Salfur's Trading Post
• Star Wars Official Poster Monthly
• Sector Force
• Time travel
• Tirog, Thannik, GT-9R, and friends
• Xi'Dec (my first article!)
• Wookieepedia:What Wookieepedia is not, an attempt to explain ourselves to new users (work in progress)
• Wookieepedia:WookieeProject Aliens: a lot of the articles which fall under this project have been edited by me at least once, often by turning a minimal stub into a creditable short article. Most of the ones which have gained Featured or Good status were heavily rewritten by other users, however.

How to tell a fake Silly Dan

1. He's on a site not listed above.
2. He's using an open proxy, or an IP that's not in Canada or Illinois.
3. He's editing a wiki using my real name.
4. You blocked him permanently for trolling or vandalism.

This page has magic powers! Silly Dan 's talk page is bewitched in a good way

I are serious Ewok. Wiki is serious business.
