There's nothing at all inappropriate about your message. I'm not even sure what you think might be. So don't worry.

I have indeed considered it, but I feel there are two problems with the idea. First and foremost, I really hate that there is this massive duplication of work between the two sites. It's such a giant waste of energy. Second is that I feel The Vault is considerably behind in content, probably largely due to a particular person's obsession with editing. Trying to play catch-up with someone who spends their entire day copy/pasting from the CK seems futile. I would prefer to fix the problem with Nukapedia and make it more hospitable to the point that forces could be joined somehow.

I'm considering some kind of petition-for-removal. I suspect it's a waste of time, though. I feel like everyone over there just blindly respects the guy due to his massive edit count. People are all, "YOU ARE A MACHINE!" or "CONGRANT ON 100,000 EDITS!" Like the number of edits is directly related to his value or the quality of his contributions.

I wonder if they would still respect him if they actually went through a couple of days' worth of his changelogs. Not only does he make no-op changes multiple times a day (gee, I wonder what purpose that might serve...) but he also tends to edit the same page 3-6 times in a row over the span of mere minutes. It's like he considers "Submit" to be the preview button or something, because when I look at the individual edits, he's basically fixing all the things he broke on his first edit, or putting in the stuff he forgot to add the first time in his mad rush for +1 to the edit count. Truth be told, I think he does it that way entirely on purpose. Carefully leave out stuff on the first edit, mislabel or misword a couple of things, and ta-da, you have an excuse for more edits. He does way too many things that point to deliberate padding for it to be just a coincidence. There is no question in my mind that this is why he never summarizes his edits.

The guy could contribute exactly the same content in about 1/5th of the edit count, or probably less, if he weren't in a mad rush to submit, submit, submit.

And that's all ignoring the real problem I've been having with him, which is the way he acts like the wiki is his and he can make any damned unilateral decision he wants, with no discussion and no interest in reconsideration even when challenged.

The whole thing really pisses me off. Felice Enellen (talk) 18:16, December 30, 2016 (UTC)
