User blog comment:GokūBlack10/Changes Around Our Wiki/@comment-20644-20120409191008

Hi all. I was alerted to this blog post, and I wanted to make a brief comment. The e-mail I received about this was titled “A Silly Argument,” and I can’t say I disagree. This seems like a much bigger dispute than is warranted for what the dispute is actually about.

I should say, first off, that in addition to being a member of the Community Support Team, I’m also an administrator on Star Wars Fanon&mdash;as Godisme mentioned earlier. I understand the disputes that can arise between the canon wiki and the fanon/fan fiction wiki, having seen some of them between Star Wars Fanon and Wookieepedia. Those weren’t entirely the same as they are here, but I certainly have a feeling of familiarity reading this. I preface what I’m saying with this just to say that I get where both sides are coming from.

That said, while I would love to see both wikis getting along, it may be best for the time being if you try to ignore one another if your disputes are enough to openly argue about. Resolving the issues would be the preferred choice, of course, but if that can’t happen then it may be best for the two wikis to be as independent of one another as possible. That way you don’t have to have arguments, and the disagreements you have will be virtually non-existent.

One of the things included in that is to leave one another alone, namely not picking fights in blog posts&mdash;that doesn’t just refer to the creation of Ten Tailed Fox’s blog, but also the comments in them from all sides. I don’t really see the need to have phrased this blog post or the comments within it the way they were phrased. It could have been handled better.

Another specific point in regards to that is you don’t need to mention people by name. Being specific like that can just lead to further arguments. If someone doesn’t want to be mentioned, it’s really not worth it to keep them mentioned. If you have to make blogs and comments like these, state it in more general terms&mdash;but blogs like these really aren’t necessary.

Also, to everyone, there’s really no need to be overly critical of other wikis on your own wiki. There’s no need for insults to be directed from this wiki to Bleach Wiki, or from Bleach Wiki to this wiki.

To make a long story short, everyone needs to step away from this one. It’s an argument that didn’t need to happen and doesn’t have to continue. Let’s all go our separate ways for now and hope that things can be resolved amicably in the future once there’s some distance from this debate.

Thanks!
