Hello again
Hello again, It's me.
For those who don't know me, I showed up here pretty much exactly 11 years ago to edit some stuff. Before I knew it, I was editing more stuff than I intended and about five months later or so, there were some annoying vandals and I asked for admin rights to deal with them more quickly. Which I was granted.
Five more months later (Christmas 2010), I was promoted to bureaucrat.
How well that went is … debatable, to say the least. Negative highlights include being too insecure to speak up against a pedo running around here, being naïve enough to fall for at least two (maybe three) death scams and getting too attached to some people / the community here to stay truly objective sometimes.
I was only on sporadically after iGood…
iGoodbye blog
So, iCarly is ending tonight ... and given that fact, this wiki will get quiet over time, too.
I've tried to take care of this place for over two years now (actually, it has been exactly 1 year and 11 months since I got promoted to bureaucrat today), and looking back on that, what do I have to say?
Did I do a perfect job?
Not by a long shot! I made several mistakes in that time, Katy being the biggest by far. Handling the drama especially with Seddie / Creddie wasn't really easy either, and actually, because of the arc (and Dan's pretty Seddie-loaded blogs during that time), I kinda stopped caring a little. If the creator of iCarly himself supports one side that much and completely ignores the other, who am I to try and keep things quiet?
I'd …
Time for a little reflection
Well, with iCarly's final episode being filmed right now, I thought it's time to think a little about the time on the wiki here.
I'm FAR from perfect in how I did what I did, but I might have made some experiences and mistakes that could be of some use for future wikis or similar things.
I consider this list kind of as "tips that could be useful when taking care of a wiki". You can just read it and take whatever pieces of advice you consider useful if you ever take responsibility for one.
Since my work schedule probably won't change to part-time anytime soon, I don't think I will take any rank on a wiki again (and I definitely won't take responsibility for a wiki about one of Dan's shows again; don't like his behavior). So, I'm kind of trying…
New Logo
We're thinking about a new Logo for the wiki (after SeddieMeBadeFan suggested it).
His suggestion is this:
but some of us admins kind of miss the Nickelodeon Orange in there.
So, we wanted to hear what you think. If you want to, you can also make your own suggestions for a logo and post them here. Just hit us with it.
If you post suggestions, keep in mind that the wikia system only allows a format of 250 x 65 pixels (or less).
