User:Silly Dan

From Wookieepedia, the Star Wars wiki.

Silly Dan was a Wookieepedian administrator, physicist, and amateur sentientologist. Born in 2 BBY, he lived in the city of Otnorot (though he spent most of his early life in Mos Edmon), on the icy planet Ord Adanac in the Bimkall Sector. He also frequently travelled to the nearby planet of Acirema Prime on business, usually to the continent of Sionilli.

He was not Force-sensitive, only an average pilot, and never fired a blaster at anybody in his life, to his great relief.

Behind the scenes

I've been a Star Wars fan since I saw The Empire Strikes Back and noticed Yoda had the same voice as Grover.

My goals on this website include adding articles from my collection of West End Games books, turning poorly formatted new articles by slightly confused new editors into reasonable stubs, and seeing Good-quality articles articles made on as many alien species as possible.

I will probably use Canadian spellings from time to time. Feel free to change those back. Every time I write a new article or make a major edit, I will have to edit it ten seconds later because I missed a typo or forgot to categorize. And yes, I know how the preview button works. I apologize in advance for any problems.

If you see any edits from User:128.100.75.134, User:128.100.75.182, or other IPs in that block, that's probably me making minor edits when I'm supposed to be doing research on my degree. If you see too many, feel free to tell me to get back to work. I have a PhD to finish this year.

Administrator

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

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.

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
• (Second) Battle of Bothawui
• Battle of Nar Shaddaa (Galactic Civil War)
• Battle of Yaga Minor (Galactic Civil War)
• Bimkall Sector
• Brock Peters
• Charon (not all mine, I just think they're fun)
• Dog
• Em'liy
• 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
• Xi'Dec (my first article!)
• Wookieepedia:What Wookieepedia is not, an attempt to explain ourselves to new users (work in progress)

Most Wanted Aliens

You know what? Just check Wookieepedia:WookieeProject Aliens from now on. We're lucky to have a bunch of dedicated editors now working on improving these articles, to the point where almost every reasonably well-documented species has at least a paragraph and a picture. (Though, obviously, anything in Category:Races and species stubs needs a lot more work.)
