Thread:Imamadmad/@comment-188432-20130308004908

I wanted to write you here, rather than either of our main wikis, because I don't want to derail substantive, community discussions with what appears to be an interpersonal problem.

Yanno, I don't think you understand you're doing it, but you are deeply, deeply insulting me. By continuing to allege that I somehow circumvented the community at drwho.answers, you are furthering a complete myth.

Painting me as anti-community is one of the most frustrating and counterfactual charges I've experienced in almost 15 years of wiki editing. Just on this account alone, 8% of my total edits are in some sort of meaningful talk area. That may not seem a high percentage to you, but it translates to about 6000 edits on talk pages, Wikia-wide.

That's 6000 attempts to reach out and talk to my fellow Wikians — 6000 individual, personalised messages. (And this stat does not include the tens of thousands of bot edits that have encouraged community discussion, two or three of which are sitting right now at tardis:user talk:Imamadmad.)

To put that 6000 figure into some sort of context, that is about the same as the number of edits that both you and Icecreamdif have made in total, Wikia-wide. It is 1000+ more than all the edits to this wiki performed by Alex Cross, the wiki's current non-bot record-holder. Furthermore, I do not believe that there is any unpaid user of Wikia who has more edits in community spaces. Sadly, it's not possible to compare length of edits; if it were, I guarantee you that there aren't many Wikia editors out there, Staff included, who would beat me, save the obvious exceptions of long-term employees like Sannse.

On this account at drwho.answers, about 33% of my edits are in talk/forum/thread areas. (More, if it were possible to see the original, pre-2008 stats for this wiki.) I participated in discussions at great length about categories, both before and after you arrived here.

It is fundamental to my nature as an editor to make full use of discussion spaces, and I can back it up with substantial data. I am therefore understandably tired of your continued casual assertions that I acted with "no community involvement". Please stop it.
