User blog comment:Nathan Pirate/Public Service Announcment Regarding The UCP./@comment-24006128-20200611225923

While I'm not the overall head of the project, I am one of the UCP leads, heading up communication.

My background is in platform building, with my first project being a redesign. I worked for Fidelity Investments for 3 years as the lead analyst for their WealthScape redesign. Then I went to work for a community platform startup called Imzy as their Gaming Community Manager. Then I started at Curse working on Gamepedia in 2017 as their Community Manager.

So yeah, I have only been at Fandom since the merger, but I've been building internet platforms my entire career and volunteering on them too. I have over 5 years experience as a Reddit moderator at the highest level, working on Destiny, Fallout, ARK, and Gaming overall.

We have a fantastic team of engineers, product folks, user experience experts, designers, and community pros with hundreds of years of combined experience in wikis, platform design, community engagement, and other relevant specialties working on this project.

We know what we're doing. We know that the communities and content and engagement are what make Fandom truly Fandom, not the exact design of one particular feature.

If you have specific feedback on what you don't like and how you'd like it done differently, AWESOME.

If you're seeking to stop the largest project in company history, delivering over 7 years of core improvements and other community-sourced enhancements, without any actionable feedback, that's not going to fly.
