User talk:Scrooge200

Hey

I just wanted to congratulate you and the other staff that worked on this. I mean, I would prefer a different color pallette than maize color (preferably blue and red like the FANDOM Arthur Wiki), but congratulations.

I also see that you are a bureaucrat on here, too. Does this mean you'll be leaving FANDOM?

PLEASE HELP ME!!!

There is a user vandalising the FANDOM Arthur Wiki with inappropriate stuff such as the F-word, explatives, and sexual content. Please block him! I've told TheAtomicLight, but he hasn't gotten back to me yet. I've rolling back as many of this user's edits as I can, but it's getting to be too much. Please help me and block that user! (The user's name is DaddyPigS**ks (censored))

Once again, please! Help!

Uhhh...

I didn't ask to have admin rights on Grifkuba. I wish you had asked me if I wanted them first, because deep down, I don't. Just because I have admin rights on FANDOM, that doesn't mean I want them here too. Rollback or Content Moderator rights would suffice for this place for me.

I've been thinking for a while about taking a "Wikibreak" from Grifkuba, and I think this might have just helped me decide to do so. I want to focus more time and effort into FANDOM, where I have a lot on my plate as it is. I'm not just an admin on Arthur Wiki on FANDOM, but I am also a bureaucrat / admin on a couple of other wikis on FANDOM as well, one of which I am attempting to consolidate with another.

I'm sure I'll come back eventually, but I want to focus more time on FANDOM. This place has been kind of splitting my attention, and personally, the lack of Badges / Achievements is less of an incentive for me to want to be here on a daily basis.

Arthur Wiki on FANDOM has been making a lot of progress lately. I revived the newsletter on there, which is now known as "The Arthur Wiki Newsletter," we're prepping for the upcoming UCP (Unified Community Platform) transition, which means our wiki will soon be upgraded to a new platform, MediaWiki 1.33, and we will also have the feeds-based Discussions enabled in the near future, which will replace the soon-to-be-discontinued Special:Forum. All those changes and many, many more for the future. This place, though? I don't feel like it has enough of a community for it to make much progress.

I also don't feel like Grifkuba is working for me. There's nothing really to do or talk about on here that can't already be done on FANDOM. I also seem to be the only really active contributor here, as I'm the only one who's contributed here on a daily basis since this site first launched back two months ago.

...

I don't know what else to say, other than this: I really wish you had asked me before giving me admin rights that I didn't really want here.

Usually, the user has to want the rights first, and ask for them. Or, one of the admins offers the rights to them, and they can say yes or no. That's how I eventually became a bureaucrat and admin on Big Idea Wiki on FANDOM. One of the bureaucrat / admins on there, BoyInCharge55, suggested that I would make a good admin there after I helped out with editing and reporting vandals for a while, and I took him up on his offer because I wanted the rights.

Here, though, I didn't get a chance to say yes or no. That's kind of not fair, since I didn't really want the rights here, at least, not at this point in time.

Sorry to disappoint you, but I would prefer to just remain a rollback on here for the time being. I hope you understand.

An important message

Hey, Scrooge200. This is Arthur Read fan.

Earlier today, I checked Arthur's Twitter page. I was absolutely horrified to see what I saw as the newest tweet from the page; the Arthur Fist meme. Some other people are not very happy about the newest tweet, either.

Back in 2016, WGBH themselves said that they didn't approve of that meme, and today, they made themselves hypocrites by posting a shot from that.

On FANDOM, I made sure to protect the "Arthur's Big Hit" page under lock and key so that only admins / content mods (and FANDOM staff / VSTF members) can edit the page, as a prevention against excessive spamming / vandalism. I wanted to inform you about this, because I want to protect this place from vandals as well. I also didn't really want to leave a message on your wall on FANDOM, because I didn't want to attract spammers to the thread. So, that's why I'm leaving you a message on here, where it's more private.

I'm also considering / debating removing the Arthur Twitter account as an external source on Arthur Wiki FANDOM's main page, because I don't want to give people the wrong idea. I don't want them to think that they can add that sort of information to the wiki. Why leave the door open?

I think Arthur's Facebook page is a lot more reputable / reliable, anyways, and it's also been around for a lot longer. Whenever the show releases promotional images or related media, I go for the Facebook, rather than the Twitter. Also, it seems like the Facebook page is run by a different staff than the Twitter.

What are your thoughts about this? I hope you respond back really soon, and I also hope you have a wonderful kind of day!
