User blog:Sijfer/Mergers are really scary...

So this Wiki was expelled from the "Tokupedia Group", and the "Tokupedia Group" is now making a new. The problem with mergers like these is that it's like merging an all-girls' school full of elite rich model-type princesses with an all-boys' school full of delinquent bruiser-types. Preferences on management would definitely clash, as I have experienced in when it was merged into the "Tokupedia Group". I'm not saying that it's wrong, but the usual things I did back before the merger became NG or "not good", such as using reference links that were indicated from Wikipedia (Japan) [because not all readers can read Nihongo, I know that]. I'm not an Admin in KR Wiki, and I didn't mind it at first. But then a lot of "other new contributors from the other merged Toku Wikis" started gaining an interest in the KR Wiki, then the security was heightened up because "the Blogs were flooded", "the pages were in disarray", etc. It became boring, that's the truth, and that's just the first problem I saw in the Merger. The second one was that the image moderation was low, images were being upload here and there, even though there is an existing image that is the same as that one, or the names of the uploaded image was the same as an older one resulting to the image being "replaced". I seriously expected that because the merger will occur that the number of Admins would become greater (in number), instead it's the opposite, the contributors were. I just want to point out what I observed. Since the "Tokupedia Groups" doesn't use Blogs, I would like to suggest that they look for an "Image-Moderating" Admin, and I seriously think they will have a hard time finding that one, since it's not in any "Admin Designations"! This "Image-Moderator" will have rights to "change"/"rename"/"delete" images that he/she finds "superseding"/"duplicate"/"inappropriate". In one Wiki I visited, the Founder himself took on that role. It's kind of annoying at first, but I got the gist of what he's doing: even if his Wiki is just a small one and doesn't have a great community, he still wants to keep order in his Wiki, which made me a regular on that one (it only has 5 contributors now, including me, but I'm not telling what Wiki it is).

I still feel "Mendokusai" about being an Admin (even though I'm an Admin to about 5 Wikis by now).

Note that these are just my opinion and is subject to change/debate.
