This conversation is getting increasingly difficult to follow since it is happening on two different wikis. Bringing over a quote from the DWA thread because it's strictly more relevant here: JPhil2.0 wrote: Well thanks CzechOut, it truly shows what you think of our wiki! Hmmm, I think you've fundamentally misread my comments. That I've apparently given you the ability to misread me is something I regret. But I think I've been firm in my conviction that I want all wikis concerned with this proposal to grow.

My number one goal, whether I'm looking at tardis or es.doctorwho or doctorwhofanon is to make sure the community grows. The cycle at Wikia in general, but with DW wikis beyond tardis in particular, is that an editor or two will show up for a few months. Things will go well. The content increases. And then, either through frustration or real life distractions, they gradually stop editing as frequently. And before you know it, they're not editing at all, and the wiki falls into disuse.

Now that DWF has some momentum, I want it to continue. And I do not think that this move has any chance whatsoever of creating momentum. You guys need to be spending time making connections in the fan fiction community. You need more people in the project, more administrators who can keep it alive if Pinguinus suddenly gets busy in real life, more people who can carry out projects independently of the administrative staff.

So you have not divined my feelings about this wiki, JPhil2.0. I have long wished for its success. I am very happy that the past few weeks have shown growth. And I only want them to continue. Rejecting your proposal does not in any way mean that I reject this wiki. It only means that I've tried it, I've got proof that I tried it for a fair period of time, and I've got data to show that it didn't work.
