User blog:Xean/Featured Wikian: CzechMate

Welcome to the next exciting installment of our Featured Wikian Interviews. Today we're speaking with CzechMate.

Wikia: Tell us a little bit about yourself.


 * CzechMate: Well, Where do I start? I live in beautiful Sydney (I used to live in London). At 3 years old, I got Crohns disease (A chronic illness, which cannot be cured, as of yet). Life is pretty easy though. I do have 8 rabbits and a cat, Rocky, living the Australian Dream :P

Wikia: How did you first discover Wikia?


 * CzechMate: I discovered Wikia from my love of Star Wars. The first wiki I visited was Wookieepedia, But then found the LEGO Wiki, Brickipedia, which has been my main wiki. I also discovered the Wiki by Ebay, believe it or not. I was looking for a Star Wars LEGO set, and I saw a link to Brickipedia.

Wikia: Which wikis do you spend the most time on?


 * CzechMate: My main wiki is easily Brickipedia. My second would either be Brickipedia Games Wiki or Alien Conquest Wiki.

Wikia: What do you think is great about Wikia?


 * CzechMate: The best thing is the communities voice. The fact millions contribute for a great cause; The fact we are saving countless lives of not knowing something, A very serious disease :P

Wikia: How has Wikia inspired you or supported your passion?


 * CzechMate: It's helped a lot. Inspirations include: Editing and being more responsible, which is why I'm a school captain/Class Captain.

Wikia: What would your top 5 tips for new folks on a wiki be?


 * CzechMate:


 * 1) Believe you can do it. Many users don't think they can help but, another mind is another piece.
 * 2) Be nice and friendly. So that Request for Chatmod didn't pass, Look on the brightside.
 * 3) Don't be bland. Being funny and enthusiastic towards editng and socializing isn't going to kill you. Being bland will.
 * 4) Obviously, Don't vandalise or troll.
 * 5) Make sure you can make someone smile.

Wikia: What would you like to see that isn't on Wikia already?


 * CzechMate: I'd like to see a fix up on options per user, and more work on chat rooms.

Wikia: You spend a lot of time on Brickipedia, I've seen some of the cool mini figures you've created. What's your favorite?


 * CzechMate: Hmmm. I'm not sure. But Paint Cann and Ramage Xzas are the ones I spent hours on, deciding the smallest details such as colour cape and hood :P

Wikia: You are a man of many names...how'd you get so many?


 * CzechMate: No idea :P I started of with Crazy P, then CP, after that, Penguin, after that Peng. Then I changed names, I got Czech, then CM, after that Cz. But mostly It's Czech, CP or CM. :)
