please give people space.
Hi Jirachiwish, I want to talk to you about a dispute that seems to be brewing between you and other users.

There look to be two issues: firstly that you are editing in ways that appear to be just to push your edit count up, or get your images in place rather than other people's (for example, replacing images with very similar ones so that you get the "credit"). This is never a good idea, you are damaging your reputation and annoying other users.

And secondly, when disagreements start over this (and sometimes before) you tend to write to people excessively, even following them to other wikis to try and get their attention.

It's got to the stage where there are complaints about this to staff, so I'm asking you to back off and let things cool down for a while. I can see that some of the things said about you and to you have not been kind - I think there is a lot of frustration on both sides and some distance will help.

So, if someone asks you to back off and not contact them, please give them some space. That means not leaving them messages, or looking for their edits so you can edit the same articles, or looking for wikis where they have edited so you can edit there. Please try to give people some space, and respect that they may not always want to interact with everyone they meet online. Thank you. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog)  21:31, July 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I would say that changing wikia's layout to include an "added by" credit under every picture is inviting that sort of non-constructive editing. Wikis are exhibitions, not competitions. Just sayin--Acer4666 09:29, July 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * To clarify my above point as requested, I suppose this is directed at Sannse more than Jirachiwish. I just find it ironic that the staff are discouraging editors from competitive editing (such as re-uploading images to get your name on the "added by" section), when really the new features brought in with the oasis skin encourage such competitive editing. Not a major thing, but if Sannse wants a long term solution to the sort of editing she is complaining about, I'd say they should remove the "added by" part of pictures site-wide, as well as other competitive elements that have been recently introduced--Acer4666 13:47, July 19, 2011 (UTC)
