Well, fun fact for those who are not aware of it. the day I rewrote thewikipedia page, the first thing wikipedia did was undo it all. Haha, automatic editor kicked in thinking it was vandalism. But even still, when I rewrote the page, I had noted it on the talk page, what I was doing and why I changed things. You HAVE to talk before and sometimes after dong large editors, otherwise editors don't know why you did something, or why that edit happen.

Often its just to the editors, the new edit doesn't make sense, because long term editors have been guiding things for a while in a particular direction. Removing large content, therefore means they have to stop and rethink whats gone on and figure out how else that information would enter that page. Its kind of a innocence on our part. Because editors have a idea of what their doing, someone's else idea is not nessecary the same and what one person regards as "fine" another might not. But this is the whole point of a wikia being a community, we talk, figure out the best way, if someone doesn't like it they speak up and tell us alternative ideas.

A website run by a single fan can only do so much, a forum becomes a jumbled mess after a while. A wikia is a sort of combination of both with the purpose of building a more complete version, by having lots of people in a community doing things that 1 person can't do alone. A lot of the time, the wikias are guided by fans who are passionate about their subject, want the freedom that wikipedia doesn't give, and just want to share their passion amongst like minded folks.

In other words, I guess... You could say editors of wikia are kinda the internet's version of Star Trek "trekkies" (how do you spell it), er don't be offend guys... I'm just trying to write this out the best I can and I've run out of ideas up to sum it up. :-/
