Welcome
Welcome to Central Wikia, Samsonius!

We're a friendly community here; most of us are active on an individual wiki, and many of us are active on more than one.

If you're looking for help, a help wiki can be found here, and you're welcome to ask the community questions on the Community Central Forum. If you need assistance from a staff member, you can contact the Community Team using Special:Contact.

You can get live help from community members and staff in our IRC channel. There are also channels for larger Wikia and their communities. Here you can socialize and get to know your community!

If you have an idea for a new wiki, please create one! Check out our list of new wikis and see if any of them interest you. A directory of existing wikis is also available.

Finally, please keep an eye on the recent changes to see what the community is up to here.

Enjoy! -- Charitwo (Talk) 01:01, 22 June 2010

Mistake!
Samsonius, I know you're probably pissed off at me, I'd be pissed off at me, too, but I was banned for sticking that stupid picture of Grace and her students in the relationships section on the "Grace Augustine" page on Avatar Wiki, and I don't know why. Your reason for banning me was for trying to gain badges. Okay, why is that bad!? Second of all, I wasn't trying to gain badges, I saw pictures in the relationships section under the "Jake Sully" page and thought that the picture I posted was a good choice because she's seen with Sylwanin and Neytiri! Notice, the picture was posted in between the articles about her relationships with Sylwanin and Neytiri! Look, the Wiki is important to me. I didn't want to be banned. That wasn't a stupid edit. Besides, even if I was trying to gain badges, I'm not hurting anyone! Yeah, it would make work for the editors (administrators, especially), but isn't the point of all Wikis to inform people!? And if informing people means work, then it's our job to inform people! Look, I'm sorry about all this nonsense, but you made a major mistake in banning me from Avatar Wiki! (It's okay;everyone makes mistakes) I don't mean that in a bad way, but I was banned for a stupid edit that could be fixed and did not damage the Wiki! You're taking this too seriously. At least tell me what harm that edit did to the Wiki. I hope that your day is better than mine.

 * Alright, I'll give you a quick run down of why I blocked you (for three days, so it wasn't even the full amount of time that our policy states that I should block you for).


 * First, you were gathering badges. Anybody who knows how many edits you've made to the main namespace of the wiki prior to the badges being reactivated would see the sudden influx of edits that have been made by you (many of which have had to be undone because they were either poorly worded or completely speculative) were an attempt to gather badges. I saw on the Wiki Activity page that you added a picture of Sylwanin, then reversed it within two minutes of making the first edit. Either you don't think things through and use the preview button when you're not sure about a particular edit, or you're gather badges. You have been here long enough to notice the preview button, so I'm going to have to say that you were just making an attempt to accumulate more badges for yourself (which will be gone in a week anyways, so there's no point in collecting them). You asked why that's bad, and I'll tell you. We already had badges activated on the wiki for about a month last year in the summer months. You could not tell me with a straight face that the huge amounts of useless edits were not to gather badges, but to improve the quality of the wiki. If you want to read more about the reason on why we took away the badges in the first place, go here.


 * Second, there is no Sylwanin at this point in time. There is absolutely no proof that the younger Na'vi in that picture is Sylwanin until James Cameron or some other accredited source says so. This argument has been brought up more times than I care to count, and every time it is agreed that the existence of Sylwanin in the film does not have substantial enough proof. In no way are you "informing" people. If anything, you're making misleading statements that are contributing to the misconception that Sylwanin was, in fact, present in the film.


 * Lastly, I warned you. I warned that if you were to make any more useless edits that you would be blocked from doing so. So what did you do? You continued to make useless edits that made more work for the admins and overall harmed the wiki's integrity as an Avatar encyclopedia. You may not want to agree with me, but the other admins and I agree that your behavior on the wiki was not to be tolerated.


 * I would not ever say that the wiki is not important to you, since you spend a lot of time and effort to create blogs that help the community come together and discuss topics that everyone can give some insight to. However, you need to be more careful in your edits, how they are formatted, and if the information can be sourced or not. Thus far, apart from blogs, all we've seen from you is a lot of unnecessary edits and completely speculative claims. I'm hoping that you can understand my frustration with such things, as we both care for the wiki equally. Let's just get this little incident behind us and move on to make the wiki a better source for the one thing that brings all of us together despite our differences: Avatar.

Thank you!
Samsonius, I'm sorry for everything. I'll admit that I usually don't preview my edits, which I really should do, (and in my defense, I had no clue that picture was not necessarily of Sylwanin) but, you're kinda right about me and the badges. I wasn't trying to collect more necessarily, but I just had this horrible temptation! I don't know why. But, I really should think before I act. Also, thank you for not banning me for an entire week like I was supposed to be banned. I shouldn't have caused all that trouble. But I have been really stressed out lately. I've had an absolutely horrible week. I hope you can understand everything, and once again, I'm sorry. I'm glad we can leave this all behind us.
