First off. I was never blocked on the FG wiki. I left, cos I don't want to put up with that at all and I refuse to edit on the other macfarland wikis because of him.

Second. I AM an admin on the Dragon Ball Wiki, and how I do things is, when there is a conflict between editors, I make sure to have them address it on the subject's article talk page to talk it out and leave the article as it was till an agreement, a consensus is reached on both sides.

If either refuse, then I let them off with a warnign to follow the rules or be blocked for a little bit. But I try to talking to them as much as possible and blocking should be a last resort. Also it shouldn't be for a long period of time, but only from a week to a month at the most on the first offence.

Also I do not see my admin privlages as me being an actual charge of the wiki and have to be the one to put new info im. I'm more of a janitor who keeps thing tidy and try to keep the wiki in good civil form and look for thoe who intent to cause harm. I do explain as much as I can to those rule breakers and hope to get them to change their ways.

I also in NO WAY insult them in the process, it is very unprofessional to do.

To me, the most important users on a wiki are new editors and the ones WITHOUT privalges. They are the ones that drive a wiki to be thriving community and are the ones that should edit the articles in unison as a community. My job as an admin is to keep them editing within the boundaries of the wiki set up. We let them re edit articles whenever they want, but the conflict comes from if another user disagrees with them so they have to talk it out. Infomation on Articles must be made by the community as a whole.

The whole point of wikis is to be based around COMMUNITY EFFORT, they are meant to be mallible in nature to have them updated as time goes on. But the community consensus alwasy comes first over it

If you want infomation on a show but you don't trust other users with what they put in unless you allow it. Then the wiki fandom is not for you because it is not created for that reason in mind it's built around the theme of community.
