::I said that to clarify why the page was locked, so not everyone can simply alter the policies, only the staff can. I did not mean it in an offensive way whatsoever. Being a part of NIWA has no bearings at individuals wikis, as they are still remaining individual wikis. Yes, users are able to help improve them like has been done here, but it is a staff decision. What makes you different from Garlic Man is that he was interested in helping out and Nathan selected him to be part of the staff. In essence, the possession of rights is the exact difference. Yes, we may all be a part of NIWA, but in this individual wiki's eyes, that holds no bearings. Apologies if my wording of "for the staff to decide" offended you, but this is how it is. {{:User:Melchizedek/sig}} 23:58, 30 January 2010 (UTC) | ::I said that to clarify why the page was locked, so not everyone can simply alter the policies, only the staff can.

:::I just found there to be a contrast between those who have actually been writing articles and are thus affected by the guidelines, and, well, the staff which has been busy doing other things (not neglectible things, but other things). So we come across a problem during editing, and get to hear stuff like this. It sounds a lot like "No we haven't actually been doing this ourselves, but our word alone counts." If you call yourself the "Metroid Wiki", with its articles 100% not being written by you, that does naturally evoke an impression of being talked to from above. I'm not calling you to go out and write articles, but maybe you should phrase that better next time. It made it sound like all the staff is for is to enforce rules on users who then actually do the work, while the staff is having a fine day. And I know that's not true, and you're doing hard work as well, but it definitely sounded like that. - [[User:Cobold|Cobold]] 00:24, 31 January 2010 (UTC) | |||
