User blog:Maddyfae/Bringing it to YOUR Attention

Did you know that basically every active user on this wiki (myself included) has the majority of their edits (many of you have well over 50%) on blog comments? While commenting on blogs can be useful for some aspects, it's gotten a bit ridiculous of how much we comment on this wiki. Do you remember the last time you made a signifigant edit on here? And I'm not talking about just editing your fanfic. I mean adding categories, adding a template, undoing a bad edit, or something that contibutes to the quality of our wiki! Me and Cupcakey were recently talking about this, and really think that this is something we need to work on. It seems silly, but it's everyone's job to keep up the quality of this wiki. Bring the wiki back to it's former glory, and make some productive edits.

I'm not trying to point fingers at anyone (as we are ALL at fault here), but please take this under consideration. The wiki could use with some cleanup, and it's our job to do it. And now I would like to give you Cupcakey's words from her blog from January on the same subject, as her words were very well written, so i believe you guys should (re)read them.

"When was last time when you edited a page? A pretty long time ago, right? Or when was the last time when you reverted someone's edit, or marked a page as an inappropiate for our wiki's standards?

My point is that most of pages of this wiki are abandoned. Only few pages are edited daily, and most of them are by newbies, that aren't really "in style" with our standards. But does someone edit them? No (Neither I, I apologize.). I think there are a lot of uncategorized pages, with some edited pics that nobody fixes them. When I came to this place, a year ago, people were "fighting" for editing those pages and make them look well.

The only "popular" places are now blogs, where people are commenting. I suggest to try move all this energy from commenting to writing stories(Well, let's concentrate this energy after all of you will comment to this blog.) and editing pages. Because a long time ago, that was the main activity."

Just remember this the next time your looking around at articles on the wiki. Do you part, and help out!

I know many of you will say "Let's do it!" or "Yea, I agree", but maybe it's time to actually take action and not just sit around.

(Thanks to those of you who actually read all of this XD)
