My intent was not to offend. Nor to keep you up all night. Please accept my sincerest apologies. I give you kudos for not in any way masking yourself. Our wiki names make all of us anonymous except you. You are an outstanding friend, a poet, your intelligence eclipses mine. Maybe you can help me to understand what I'm not seeing correctly. Because my editing has been spoken of in the discussions I would like to tell you about some of my experiences.

We must go back in time to when most of the pages of the wiki were protected. Meaning no one but an admin was allowed to edit. I’m sure you remember much of the anguish and pain. I was shocked at the accusations and lack of respect I was reading from many parties. Then almost all editing stopped. Only admins were editing. I had seen somewhere where “the health of the wiki by fandoms standards was gauged by the editing” and it seemed that only the admins were editing. So, I thought maybe I can do something. I went to Fandoms University, still have much to learn there. Started reading more of the wiki and looked for something I could do. I went to an admin and proposed to fill in the missing quest/regular location information on the Collection pages. I don’t recall being told about a previous project to make changes, so after I lost one of my games and started over my idea was to play the game from the beginning and find the missing information. I had been working to add missing information then one day, without any forewarning, I came to the wiki and found it all being deleted. I was startled and alarmed. I went to the admins and they were kind enough to answer my questions about it and have apologized for not letting me know they were planning that project for some time. I have accepted their apology and am grateful I have work in another area.

What bothers me the most is how the subject of content and editing is avoided. I want to learn but who is my teacher? I have only the writers that have come before me. I read their edits, look at the changes made over time. I would like to hear or read a discussion about the subjects. I know because of the hostility and disrespect that the questions raised in the threads will not be addressed. I will find my way on my own. I’m not sure I will be adding to many of the discussions in the future. I think I make things worse.

Again, my deepest and sincerest apologies  for any offense I  have caused to you and the wiki.
