Hello, I'm Kirkburn, aka George, and I'm here to help you with your gaming wiki!

I work with Wikia to both help out existing communities and launch wikis for new games. In another life I admin the WoWWiki, the leading wiki about the Warcraft universe, which moved to join Wikia in 2007.

As part of the Wikia Helper Group, I have the same abilities as an admin, although I normally stay out of most wiki-specific admin issues :)
 * What I do

Normally I swoop in to help with one of several things:
 * Clean up and organise wikis
 * Announce new products and projects
 * Help guide wikis to greatness
 * Act as the diplomat in disputes
 * Import and design new templates and pages

Feel free to request aid from me, and I'll see what I can do!

Contact me
Please feel free to ask me any questions on my Wikia Central User talk:Kirkburn page!

If you're a fan of IRC, you can normally catch me in several channels - mainly the chat.freenode.net, #wikia and chat.freenode.net, #wikia-gaming channel. If you do not usually use IRC, you can connect on your browser using the Wikia Chat portal.

To email me, visit here - please include "Wikia" in the subject!

In real life
I am a resident Brit, recently out of University, who spends his time annoying the neighbours with loud, thumping music and batting people round the head as a scout. In Team Fortress 2. I also created a popular addon for World of Warcraft called ClearFont.

Guides and projects

 * Two quick guides I helped write:
 * The first few things to do on a new wiki.
 * My personal advice guide for starting up wikis.


 * Projects you may have come across
 * I am currently working on revamping Wikia Help, Wikia's MediaWiki extensions and general help wiki.
 * I helped redesign the starter wiki for new wikis - if you spot problems with it, do let me know!
 * At SXSW 2008, I took part in a discussion panel regarding game wikis - report on Massively.com.
