User blog comment:NeverToWalkAlone/The Level Of Quality On This Wiki Is Too Damn Low!/@comment-26194145-20140823181052

Gentlemen here's my responses for each person. You may aswell read the first reply for most of your answers though.

Its easy to read this blog and see it to be fueled by anger and the heat of the moment... in truth it was just my mood for a rant but none the less. But I am always rather calm, tis but the internet my friend so don't take this too much to heart either. At no point did I actually discourage people to write and be part of this wiki. Infact I proposed shortly before I left earlier this year that we start a group for reviewing stories and helping the authors with their quality of writing, so I have always been keen to help out. When you say friendly manor, everything is different for everyone. Personally I'm much more used to, and rather, when I fuck up I have it smeared in my face and told to sort it out... An example being when a dog pisses on the rug you don't tell it off, you rub its nose in it and it doesn't do so again. But others aren't as kinky and rough as me so yes a good talk does help out, but as you all know I don't pretend to be nice if I don't feel nice.

I know nobody on this wiki is a professional, believe me I know we (including myself to all you that think I'm acting as if I'm better) are not professional. As I said to say to someone that they're shit only works for a certain kind of person, and in hindsight yes it does look as if I was having a rip at Teamdaryl and if he/she misinterprets it then so be it, I'm sorry for that. But the only way to improve the quality of something is to notice the flaw, point it out and continue onward. And with the final note, probably for everyone too, is that I think there should be a review process for work to be brought out of namespace and onto the actual wiki. This means all work is checked and is of a good standard, if it isn't then we tell them why and they re-do it.

@Daryl

"Up the RA!" No bad Gerry! Okay... infact I've pretty much made these points already.

@Pops

I'm uncertain what you mean my proposal is. The entire idea of helping others to have a higher quality so that it can become part of the wiki's namespace is my idea. If someone starts a poor writer then they have the goal of improving their writing so that its then able to actually be entered into the wiki and then with that better quality the sky's the limits. And fair enough if a new writer sees this, reads it and comprehends it yet still doesn't like it then fine, sorry to offend them. But I don't see a confidence issue on the internet... where we can somehow be bullied by invisible people and discouraged to write by pixels? I am honest in a sense that I will say what I think, not disguise it. And for the record there may be spelling mistakes or what ever, but Pops I never claimed to be have the highest standard of writing, especially on a rant.

Overall folks if you don't like my opinion so be it, and if this new writer reads this then so be it. I am sorry if it somehow affects his/her confidence by choosing that one image of thousands of other examples of poor quality, but know this I've only ever been about helping the wiki. Remember I don't claim to be amazing either. And please don't be take to much offense to this and believe me to be rude, its only the internet, the second you sit up from your computer this shit does not matter.

Right, I'm offskie
