NIWA Discussion / Re: WiKirby Owner and Founder, Axiomist, has passed away

« on: March 20, 2011, 05:07:34 AM »

I was the one to write the beginning statements in Nathan's post above; Axiomist touched many of the editors in NIWA and externally with his quick wit and staunch work ethic. He will be sorely missed - I, for one, am still influenced by the way he led me into wiki editing... without Ax's encouragement and support, I would most definitely not be where I am now on the wiki... it's just a bit humbling to see that NIWA and ZW will continue on after his passing, with greater support and cohesiveness than before.

Nice! I think I heard about that on the chat. How about all wikis have that!

Cool discussion going on so far. I understand that NIWA is more or less a blanket for the many wikis who wish to get tucked in at night (aww), but I always thought there should at least be some minor connectivity between them outside of overlapping users, N Wiki, and link exchanges. I've already brought this up in the Skype chat: what if say I showed a legitimate editing and knowledgeable interest on WikiBound. Wouldn't it make sense in this case, since I'm part of the staff on another wiki, that I would be made autopatrol immediately on WikiBound? Of course I used WikiBound as an example, but this is to be taken generally. I don't see why that would be an issue, especially since NIWA knows who is and who is not legitimate in the system when it comes down to editing.

If this could be made a NIWA-wide policy, that's a step towards a higher connectivity between the wikis in the system.

And for the record, I know relatively nothing about the Mother/Earthbound series. Sorry Tacopill, looks like I'm not going to be coming over anytime soon! ha

nice manifesto. I say this should go on the hub, with our signatures below it. I.E.

--Zelda Wiki--
Adam
Cipriano
Dany36
Justin
Steve
Xizor

etc.

So it is a little bit like the declaration. It'll be fun and interesting to see the actual users that supported the project in its hayday.
