Now I am become status, destroyer of Tweets
This Wookieepedian is an administrator of the site.^[source?]

I gotta get out of here!

This user is taking a Wookieevacation either due to personal matters or by choice.

They may still contribute, but not as much as they usually do. In addition, they may not respond to talk page messages as quickly.

"OOM 224, the Fastest Archiver in the West
or is it the East…?"

―Imperators II^[1]

Hello <insert name here>, you have stumbled upon the user page of OOM 224, a Hong Konger–Scottish Wookieepedia contributor. While I'd been a reader of this site for years beforehand, the increase of new content with the birth of the new canon continuity set me on my jouney as an editor, becoming more active on Wookieepedia towards the end of 2020 and indelibly becoming a fan of everything Star Wars, from the 70s to the present (and beyond!).

I'm interested in making connections between different subjects, so you'll find that my edit history is riddled with eclectic edits of all sorts. I especially enjoy maintaining the timeline of galactic history and the Abeloth and Palitoy articles. That said, go ahead and edit away; I'd love to see someone else help out with those unending projects!

Furthermore, I've been an administrator of the site since 2022 and am a member of the Inquisitorius, AgriCorps, and EduCorps article reviewing boards. I am active on the Wookieepedia Discord server and like to open up the recent changes log to help other users with their edits. You can always contact me by popping over to Discord (@o.o.m.), through my Wookieepedia talk page, or via my Community Central Message Wall.

- Layout Guide sections for organizations and terrestrial locations of astronomical objects, as well as regions, sectors, and star systems

"But you know what I always say: speak softly and drive a big tank"

―Hondo Ohnaka^[2]

Orwell's words of wisdom^[3]

Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.
Never use a long word where a short one will do.
If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.
Never use the passive where you can use the active.
Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word, or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.
Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.
