User blog:DJ MC CJ/DJ Going Off 2





Time again for another addition of me going off. For those that remember the first one this one will be much more elaborate. This time I'm focusing on something that has been a plague on a majority of the episode pages and I am focusing on a few other issues on and off the chat. No disrespect to any users is intended.

1. Lately I have personally discovered that many of the pages have various spelling errors and at first I thought this was only going to be a minor issue with just a few pages. Turns out I was wrong as I found many pages with the same issue. Everyone I will say this again. Sure we make mistakes on pages, we add words that doesn't make sense with a sentence, we misspell words. However, we should be focusing on using spellcheck and proper grammar. Some words I couldn't figure out and I had to play Russian Roulette with and assume the words were correct just the way they were. Some words could be compound words, while others may not. The words that may not be compound have some exceptions like Ponyland and Aqualand to name a few, but those names are how the business or businesses are spelled. Other then that I shouldn't be seeing words like Arthur'd or there'd.

2. D.W.'s name as everyone knows is acronym for Dora Winifred. Since that is the case D.W.'s name should be spelled D.W. That's it. I've noticed on several episode pages her name is spelled DW. Once again, it's an acronym and has to be spelled D.W. and that's it. While I know other acronyms are spelled like OMG or LOL, D.W.'s name is spelled D.W. and that should be it.

3. When making new pages make sure some of the sections of the page is not 10-20 spaces down. With the new Season 16 coming in October 15 we do not want to have a repeat of this with the new season. I've had to reduce a lot of spacing on many episode pages and other pages as well and that isn't a really big problem though. My best advice is to edit in source mode where you can clear up a lot of these issues. Editing in Source mode is an option along with editing in Visual.

4. There is has become and on and off issue and I want to get this off my chest. Users when your on other wikis, please respect users here on the Arthur Wiki by not revealing their business or anything else private to them elsewhere. You violate the user's right to privacy and it's not cool to demonize a user just because of the wrongs or mistakes they've done on this wiki or other wikis. That also violates our policy as well and action will be taken if it starts to occur again. We will not discriminate against any user just because they got banned from another site.

5. Chatmods stop asking me if you can kick or ban someone from the chat. That's up to you if you feel the chat is getting out of control with user/users. You have the power and if you feel things are getting out of hand do something about it. Don't give me a private message asking me what to do while things are continuing to get out of hand. Actions speak louder then words, but chat mods don't get carried away as any action has to be via the rules and guidelines we have on the wiki. Failure to do so will result in consequences for chat mods. Also users on the chat do not have to say good bye or anything when they leave. They can leave whenever they want to without saying anything and users do not have to join the chat either. It's optional and is a privilege.

That is all I have to say on these issues here and I do hope everyone has enjoyed this second addition of me going off. I also want to know what everyone thinks about standardizing all pictures to one type of format in the long term. Everyone please comment on what you think.
