Hi, the context of the article you created is not clear, so I placed the "{{context}}" tag. Can you clarify the introduction of the article so that it can be more easily understood by readers not familar with the subject matter? After this is done, you can remove the tag. Thanks for your contributions! Regards, Accurizer 12:28, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, this is in response to the questions you left on my talk page. I will take a closer look at the article and try to improve the context of it for you. Also, in response your question about administrators, I am an editor, not an administrator. Information about administrators is available at Wikipedia:Administrators. If you have any other questions please feel free to leave a note on my talk page, or you could also contact any administrator. Regards, Accurizer 19:03, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- Hi, I made some changes to the article to provide context in the introduction. Please take a look at it and make any changes you feel appropriate. Regards, Accurizer 11:50, 16 April 2006 (UTC)
ARC-170 starfighter
editPlease just add that information to the list entry. Thank you. — Deckiller 14:48, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Same thing. If you're going to add information, do it at the list. Isopropyl 14:51, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
Lists
editGenerally speaking, we use lists as a way to compress and contain information relevant to the general interest encyclopedia. You may be interested in Wookieepedia, which deals exclusively with Star Wars information. — Deckiller 14:54, 15 April 2006 (UTC)
- See, the idea of the list is that all the minor starfighters are merged together in one location to keep it organized and together. There is a lot of info on the ARC, but here's what I recommend:
- Go to Wikipedia:WikiProject Star Wars, the star wars collaboration.
- Go to the dicsussion page (Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Star Wars)
- Post a new comment about whether or not the ARC starfighter should merit its own article.
- You should get some feedback and opinions, and if they generaly agree that the starfighter deserves its own article, feel free to split it from the list.
You'll probably get some feedback within an hour or two. — Deckiller 15:26, 15 April 2006 (UTC)

EaW tactics
editHey there. I'm an active player and modder of EaW, and I know you just want to add tactics for people to play better at this game. However, I have put up a deletion commentary on your tactics pages. Wikipedia is really not a place to post tactics, you might try GameFAQs or IGN for those kind of things. Could you please refrain from making further tactics until the AfD goes one way or another? If it is decided this needs to be removed, we have to go through every page and mark it for AfD. The deletion commentary is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Star Wars: Empire at War Tactics. Tokakeke 01:33, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
- Also, if you need any help around Wiki (or want a game of EaW :) ) feel free to let me know. Tokakeke 02:00, 21 April 2006 (UTC)
Acclamator
editI removed the Acclamator from the Star Destroyer page since it is not really a proper Star Destroyer and because the craft already has its own page. Indrian 06:48, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
- I am aware of the history of the Acclamator. In fact, if you look at the history of the article, I am the one that put the Acclamator information in the Star Destroyer article in the first place. That was back when the article was much smaller, however. Since then, the Acclamator has been re-spun out into its own article, and the Star Destroyer article has grown quite large. As a result, it serves no purpose to keep the ship on the Star Destroyer page anymore. Indrian 18:39, 1 May 2006 (UTC)
Minor Star Wars ships
editHey, I've noticed that you have been moving around and deleting stuff. For example, Minor vehicles in Star Wars is now completely blank. What's the master plan there? --maru (talk) contribs 23:56, 3 May 2006 (UTC)
SW ship tables
editIt's good that you're infoboxing various vessels, but I think it'd look a lot better if those tables were right-aligned, not center- or left-aligned. --maru (talk) contribs 17:59, 4 May 2006 (UTC)
The biggest problem is that it doesn't say what it is. The first sentence should say, "In the xxx fictional universe ...", or something like that. And the infobox is enormous and just totally dominates the page. It should be much narrower, at most 1/3 the width of the screen. User:Zoe|(talk) 19:27, 23 May 2006 (UTC)
Username
editHi Relentless. I just wondered whether you meant to call yourself RelentlessRogue rather than Rouge. If you did, you might want to know that you can request a change of name here and retain your contribution history. If you did mean Rouge then please don't take offence, it's a fine name, I just didn't want you to be stuck with a typo if you didn't know that it could be changed. Cheers TigerShark 00:58, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
Fair-use images
editHi RelentlessRouge,
I noticed you have some "fair use" images on your user page. It turns out that's against Wikipedia policies; see Wikipedia:Fair use#Policy: "Fair use images should only be used in the article namespace". Would you please remove the images or switch to other (non-fair-use) ones? Thanks. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 02:59, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
- Please take care of this soon. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 15:20, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
- I've removed the images. —Bunchofgrapes (talk) 18:38, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
Your RfA
editHi RelentlessRouge. I am dropping you a note to inform you that I have closed your request for adminship early. At the time of closure you had 14 oppose votes with none supporting, the one vote that was cast in support would not have been counted by the closing bureaucrat. I hope you are not too upset by the way your request turned out, consider it a learning experience. I am sure that if you try again in a few months, and continue your hard work, the result will be different. Hopefully I'll see you around, Rje 08:13, 1 June 2006 (UTC)
OK I have wikified the article somewhat. Changes include the {{SW Craft}} tag, additional wikilinks, external ref's, redirects (HIMS Black Asp, H.I.M.S. Black Asp, RAS Corusca Rainbow, R.A.S. Corusca Rainbow, Corusca Rainbow), and sp. Nothing too major --> nice article! I am by no means a Star Wars expert (never watched it) so be bold and revert any factual inaccuracies. Also, could you add your external links (what in the world is a gravjector?). (3ucky(3all 00:05, 2 June 2006 (UTC)
User page
editRegarding your story on your user page, I'm sure it's interesting and all that, but please remember to read Wikipedia:User page for a discussion about what is suitable for inclusion. Thanks, and good luck. Isopropyl 12:08, 8 June 2006 (UTC)
- Again, in case you missed the message above, you should remove the lengthy story on your use page that has nothing to do with Wikipedia. Isopropyl 01:47, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
Categories
editYou recently add 'Antibiotic' category to some pages already listed as 'Beta-lactam antibiotics'. Generally, as I understand it, only the lowest possible category level is used. So with 'Beta-lactam antibiotics' being a sub-category of 'Antibiotics', the latter is not needed or used. Similarly one does not apply the still higher category level of 'Pharmacologic agents'.

- You could try giving a link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Interiot/Tool2/code.js?username=RelentlessRouge but the viewer wouldn't be able to use IE. As for the compound, that's actually isobutane. For a picture of isopropyl, you can check out the article, or look at the header of my talk page. I'll repost this on your talk page as this is in my archives. Isopropyl 16:03, 9 June 2006 (UTC)
You may be interested...
editHi there, you might be interested in helping out with WikiProject Viruses - I noticed your sound editing techniques in the Ebola virus and thought that you would be a prime candidate. Thanks, -- Serephine ♠ talk - 05:34, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
Ebola
editJust letting you know, mucous is the British English spelling of mucus. Both are acceptable under Wikipedia as long as their use it consistent Wikipedia:Guidance on applying the Manual of Style. Cheers ☺ -- Serephine ♠ talk - 01:40, 18 June 2006 (UTC)

The Sick Rose
editHello RelentlessRouge. Thanks for your message - I'm still pretty new to this Wikipedia creating article business, so didn't really understand what you're asking me! Lol, awfully sorry. Don't suppose you could clarify for me? SteVanDan 19:38, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
My new mammal pages
editHey there!
I'd be glad of the help! It's a bit hard to read at the moment because I'm breaking up a page I did Mammals discovered in the 2000s into smaller pages. Now that's done I'll go about making it a bit more readable, as it was becoming a bit confusing as you say.
By the way, this Dutch page http://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gebruiker:Ucucha/Nieuw has great lists with loads I've missed, I've been googling for a few of the ones on there for info in English.
Let me know if you have any suggestions.
Pete
OK.
Drewdy
Thanks! We can work on another Robots article! Go on my user page!
Drewdy
Yes. I got the userbox from you. And can we please work on an article about another Robots character? Drewdy 20:07, 19 June 2006 (UTC)Drewdy
OK. Let's do Tim next. Drewdy 20:11, 19 June 2006 (UTC)Drewdy
The name is Tim (Robots). Drewdy 20:15, 19 June 2006 (UTC)Drewdy
Could you add some stuff about Piper, Fender, Bigweld and Tim? Drewdy 20:27, 19 June 2006 (UTC)Drewdy
The Sick Rose
editRouge, Thanks for the help. I'll try to get round to it at some point. You wouldn't believe this, but entering in the poems is a revision technique too me - I have an A-level Eng Lit exam on William Blake poetry tomorrow, and what better way to get something in your head than by typing it out? I decided that if I was going to type it out, I may as well do it somewhere useful. =) SteVanDan 19:48, 19 June 2006 (UTC)
Nominating articles for deletion is extremely fun, but it also is a difficult process. You nominated Jo Y. Wong's article for deletion, but you didn't insert the proper tags for deletion. I went through and corrected it. The discussion for that article's deletion is at Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion/Jo_Y._Wong. In the future, refer to Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletion#How_to_list_pages_for_deletion for the three step process for nominating articles for deletion. A personal suggestion would be to further explain your reasons for wanting the article deleted to get other people to agree with you. —№tǒŖïøŭş4lĭfė ♫♪
