 Modern Wikia is seeking Contributors

The Modern wikia is all about everything modern and present in the world from the years of 1980 to the present. From Modern defense and military, to modern structures, from modern periods of time, to modern technology and inventions and even more!!! We have created a new skin on May 12, 2010 and Andrew Reno is currently seeking contributors and users who have a passion for the modern society dating from 1980 to the present time and are willing to help out our community by editing and creating articles and reaching our top goal of 10,000 articles! Sure the requests for Admin and Bureau rights are tough to get but we want people who are willing to demonstrate that they can stay and help out not leave and forget about us. We also have some cool features like an awsome community portal, a toolbar, news, chat, and much more! If you want to join and help us contribute join us here @ Modern Wikia and be sure to leave your comments on what you think.--Andrew Schlieffen Executive Administrator of Modern Wikia and Valkyrie Movie Wikia 19:01, June 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * You have a strange definition of "Modern". -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:47 AM PST 12 Jun 2010


 * Personally the term is way over used and is too varied to be used as a definition. 1980's Modern? Doesn't seem to be. Personally Modern to me is anything after 9/11 as the event started a new era for much of the western world.
 * Reading your main page, is the whole "Founder not here" thing useful? Also the irony in the statement "Modern Wikia works best with Internet Explorer Version 8 or better!" as IE is a outdated browser. Fire Fox or Google Chrome is the browser of choice by people these days. Get Modern! Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  09:29, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ugh, please lets not attach Modern to 9/11. 9/11 sure started a new era in G.W. Bush screwing the U.S.A. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 11:45 AM PST 13 Jun 2010
 * Modern doesn't mean good things you know. Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  21:34, June 13, 2010 (UTC)


 * Also doesn't have anything to do with 9/11. Sorry. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 11:18 PM PST 13 Jun 2010


 * Changes have been made, although I will keep my definition of Modern, I couldn't create a present wikia because then it would only accept articles on the present and I wouldnt have 200 articles because the old articles wouldnt relate to the present anymore they would be apart of the past. Many people use Modern as a term not for 1500's as the modern era but Modern like Modern Homes, Modern Furniture, Modern Art, Modern Technology. We do not create articles the past but create articles that change society by the use of technology only we keep those articles in the 1980 to the present range because we cannot keep create 1 Million articles in one month unless we have more users.--Andrew Schlieffen Executive Administrator of Modern Wikia and Valkyrie Movie Wikia 18:11, June 14, 2010 (UTC)


 * I suppose "contemporary" is too long a word. It would be nice if there were some better word to capture the time period you're thinking of. Although, what you're talking about goes back as far as the 60s, in many ways. I don't consider your topic unworthy of a wiki, just that I'm not so fond of your usage of "modern". In some ways, the early 80s were the beginning of the "personal computing" age, but that would be a pretty long name and would seem to be restrictive. -- Fandyllic  (talk &middot; contr) 9:34 AM PST 15 Jun 2010


 * Id rather not use long words for a wikia's title which is why I created a smaller title. --Andrew Schlieffen Executive Administrator of Modern Wikia and Valkyrie Movie Wikia 19:38, June 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * We're in the Information Age, part of "Post-modernism" philosophy, according to Wikipedia. Hope that helps. :) 12:05, June 16, 2010 (UTC)
