1. There is no plural of "content" 2. You should move this page to Libregamewiki:Things to know or Libregamewiki:About as this is not part of the content (free games etc). 3. This wiki is not owned by you, you are not the center of the wiki. Reading this page makes it seem that you play a very important role. You don't, as this is a wiki. You could anny many by putting yourself in the middle. --Qubodup 15:44, 1 September 2007 (CEST)
- Whoops, I meant it to be in Libregamewiki namespace. I didn't realize it. What do you mean by I don't own it and don't play an important role? I am practically the dictator here. I hold all the power.--Kiba 16:06, 1 September 2007 (CEST)
- Nonsense, the content is open, anybody could go to wikia and start an identical wiki and copy all your content under the same license. You hold no power, if you are playing a role of an 'owner' many will not contribute to your wiki, because a wiki is supposed to be democratic. The only power you hold, is the power to destroy all the content by taking down the webpage. --Qubodup 20:13, 1 September 2007 (CEST)
- While I do not have absolute power, I have power over this wiki. The power to delete and modify any contents I want(to some extents), the ability to grant power to users, the ability to control who get to edits and who don't, even what pages they can view. To characterized me as not a major player is an exaggeration. A wiki is more than just contents, it is also a community. The community rest largely on the shoulder of a leader or wiki owner. That mean anything I do or not do affect directly the community's opinion of me and the health of this wiki. Anybody can import a wiki, but they cannot automatically import a community. I am the person who make or break the community. Thus, my power lies in my leadership and actions. That make me pretty important. Now I am not the "owner"(though I still hold the copyright to contents that I produced here) of the contents that been produced here, but I do have a lot of power over what going on this wiki.--Kiba 20:49, 1 September 2007 (CEST)
- I disagree, you can give the guidelines but you cannot control what happens. What I meant to say is: Using the first person singular (I) is in contrast to what a wiki should be (We). --Qubodup 14:22, 2 September 2007 (CEST)
- Well. Ok. But I can still control my reaction. But why a wiki must be a democratic type of government? Wiki is just a technology. If you think about it, I set the firm rules that only allow Free games, isn't that anti-democratic?--Kiba 14:31, 2 September 2007 (CEST)
