I started reading Brandon's works in 2015 and have been following the community on and off since then. FinallyI finally decided to start contributing here in 2019. I'm new to editing wikis, so I'm mostly going to be using this page for figuring that out and drafting articles.

== Formatting Notes==
Add spaces in front of lines to create boxes like this:
There's hidden <!--Hidden text--> text here, click "edit" if you want to see how it's done
<span title="If you want to see how to do mouseover text, edit this page and look at the input here">Mouseover text</span>
When using side quotes, make sure to write "|'''side='''left/right|'''size='''XXXpx" (instead of "|left/right|XXXpx") to avoid the "Sidequote with lazy parameters" category
Put a : at the front of an internal link if it's to another namespace
 
== Ideas ==
*Edit [[Template:wob ref]] to auto-tag all articles with unimported WoBs
 
== Projects (in rough priority order) ==
'''Ironsides Work'''
*[[Cosmere]]: Was updating some references here and saw it could use some help. See [[User:Stargazer/Cosmere]] for work in progress and Small Workspace below for outline.
Somebody else's ctrl+f results:
*''Updating the [[:Category:Starsight|new articles from ''Starsight'']] (most pages are created, just need to be filled in):''
; Ivans: 5,33,40,49,52, I-1, I-2, I-3

**Make sure species names and variations of "cytonic" are lowercase. Biggest offenders are probably [[:Category:Defending Elysium]]

**Change |books= to [[Skyward (series)|Skyward]] instead of [[Skyward]]
*[[Tanavast]] and [[Honor]]: Working out the difference between Vessel and Shard pages and adding detail. Haven't actually gotten to work on this, but work in progress will be at [[User:Stargazer/Tanavast]] and [[User:Stargazer/Honor]]. See [[Rayse]] and [[Odium]] for general split between Vessel and Shard.

'''Note:''' I'm not putting too much effort into layout (sidequotes and images mostly) just yet, because the text isn't set in <s>stone</s> steel yet and if it changes that could impact layout. I ''do'' intend to add more though, especially images.

}}
Admiral '''Judy Ivans''' (Callsign: '''Ironsides''') is the leader of the [[DDF]].{{book ref|Skyward|5}} She is a [[First Citizen]], and fought in the [[Battle of Alta]]. After [[Zeen Nightshade|Chaser's]] actions during the Battle of Alta, she is terrified of another person with the "defect" (the brain condition that grants access to [[Cytonics|Cytonic]] abilities) becoming a pilot and does everything in her power to prevent that from happening.{{book ref|sky1|i|2}} To that end, she tries to keep [[Spensa]] out of [[Flight School]],{{book ref|sky1|2}} but does not have the authority to stop [[Cobb]] from adding her to his class.{{book ref|sky1|6}} However, in an effort to make life so difficult that Spensa gives up and quits, she issues an order barring Spensa from using any of the Flight School's facilities, including the mess hall and dormitories.
 
'''Outline'''
She is continually frustrated by the [[National Assembly Leader]]s denial of the existence of the "defect,"{{book ref|sky1|i|2}} removing their children--some of the top pilots--from the DDF,{{book ref|sky1|i|3}} and refusal to send up their private ships to aid the DDF during [[Krell]] attacks.{{book ref|sky1|49}}

=== Early Days of the DDF and the Battle of Alta ===
***<span style="background:#FF0000">Shards of Adonalsium</span> Just merge with Adonalsium section?
Prior to the Battle of Alta, Ivans was the flightleader for Cobb and Chaser's flight{{book ref|sky1|43}} and argued that Chaser should be allowed in the DDF despite having the defect.{{book ref|sky1|48}} As the Krell descended prior to the Battle of Alta, she was outspoken in urging the DDF to fight, despite the high number of incoming Krell.{{book ref|sky1|prologue}} In the battle, she gave Chaser permission to fly up to space after he promised that he could control the defect. When he returned and began attacking DDF pilots, she gave the order to shoot him down, though her name was redacted in the official report.{{book ref|sky1|39}} After the battle, to protect his family, she insured that the official report said Chaser turned coward and tried to fly away rather than that he was a traitor.{{book ref|sky1|54}}

*<span style="background:#00FFFF">History</span>
=== Command of the DDF ===
**<span style="background:#00FFFF">Before the Shattering</span>
Some time after the Battle of Alta, she realized that she was getting too old to fly and became Admiral of the DDF,{{book ref|sky1|i|2}} though she seems to believe she only has her command because anyone else who could have taken it is now dead.{{book ref|sky1|i|1}}
**<span style="background:#00FFFF">The Shattering of Adonalsium</span>
 
**<span style="background:#00FFFF">Odium's Quest</span>
As a military commander, Ivans is cautious and reluctant to commit the entirety of her forces, especially as the number of pilots and acclivity rings the DDF has are steadily diminishing.{{book ref|sky1|i|2}} In order to have enough pilots to fend off the Krell incursions, she has lowered the age of testing to become a cadet and begun to send up less experienced cadets.{{book ref|sky1|i|1}}
**<span style="background:#00FFFF">The Ascension of Harmony</span>
 
**<span style="background:#00FFFF">Splintering of Honor and the True Desolation</span>
After seeing Chaser turn on her flight members, she is terrified of someone else with the defect joining the DDF and, as a result, does everything in her power to prevent Spensa from becoming a pilot.{{book ref|sky1|i|2}} When Spensa attempts to take the pilot's test, Ivans specifically orders that she is not to be admitted,{{book ref|sky1|2}} personally supervises the administration of the test, and gives Spensa a test to be a sanitation worker, not a pilot.{{book ref|sky1|5}} Later, Cobb forces her to allow Spensa to be enrolled in his class, but she forbids Spensa from using any of the Flight School facilities in an effort to make Spensa's life so difficult that she drops out.{{book ref|sky1|11}}{{book ref|sky1|29}}
**<span style="background:#00FFFF">Trell and Scadrial</span>
 
*<span style="background:#00FFFF">Worldhoppers</span>
As her number of pilots and acclivity rings dwindles, she eventually decides to make a bold strike for a shipyard in a decaying orbit.{{book ref|sky1|i|3}} When a lifeburster enters the battle, she orders her pilots to keep it away from the shipyard, even if that sends it towards Alta. When it does, in fact, make for Alta Base, she decides to order a flight of just scouts, including [[Cloak]] and [[FM]], to engage it. The scouts successfully shoot it down, but, when the bomb lands, it takes out some of the DDF AA guns.{{book ref|sky1|48}} At that juncture, a second Krell fleet, with another lifeburster, enters and slips through the hole in the defenses, leading her to relaize that she has been outmanuvered and possibly "doomed all of humankind."{{book ref|sky1|49}} As the lifeburster nears the "death zone," past which its detonation will take out Alta Base, she accepts her death and authorizes Spensa and the other pilots to shoot it down regardless, in the hopes of saving Igneous.{{book ref|sky1|50}}{{book ref|sky1|52}}
**<span style="background:#00FFFF">Hoid</span>
 
**<span style="background:#00FF00">Worldhopping Groups</span>
After the Krell are defeated and Spensa manages to save Alta, she decides to pardon Chaser and tries to convince Spensa not fly to space, to no avail.{{book ref|sky1|54}} When Spensa returns, she sees little value in the information that M-Bot hacked from the Krell, as it does not change the fact the DDF is still facing down a superior force.{{book ref|sky1|epilogue}}
