User blog:-bleep196-/Looking to Adopt This Wiki

Intro
Hi Folks, my names Bleep196. Some of you may have seen a lot of my edits over the past week or so. I've been piecemeal cleaning up the organization, formatting, and other portions of the wiki. I hope you've seen my efforts and that moving forward you'll follow my lead.

To give some background, yes, I am Operational Staff and the Captain of the Maintenance and Ancillary Staff Team as well as on Anti-Harassment. I am also an Admin on the Fallout Wiki here on Wikia, and have been for 10 years.

The Why?
So Bleep, why are you making this post? Well, I'd like to adopt this wiki, not just for myself, but for the wider SCP-wiki community as a whole. There are certain things that we can't do on wikidot that we'd be better able to do here on Wikia, such as provide meta commentary and analysis on individual written articles. Given this place is currently a lawless wasteland (the administrator made this wiki and then bailed in 2009) it would probably be good for me to step in and fill the void to improve the quality and bare-bones of this place. Not just me of course, but staff as a whole have a vested interest in expanding our base giving the ever growing size of our community.

Additionally, as it stands, there are multiple plagiarized articles on this wiki, as well as a few non-CC images, which are violations of Wikia's ToU.

The Qualifications:
As I said above, I'm involved in many categorically important efforts across the SCP community, and I'm also intensely familiar with Wikia, it's editing structure, its categorization structure, etc.

So whats my background in Wiki Management? Like I said, 10 years as a Wikia Admin. I'm responsible for a monumental effort on the Fallout Wiki to identify, verify, standardize, and format bugs that appear within the Fallout games. If you're even remotely familiar with Bethesda, and the Fallout Games, you know that this is a monumental task involving independent verification of thousands upon thousands of minute bugs over the years. Playing, testing, and pinpointing the cause, and then translating that wiki side has embedded many organizational and formatting skill over the year.

I'm intimately familiar with Wikia's categorization tree system. I've been responsible for organizing, specifying and executing the implementation of several large scale re-categorization projects. I am also a policy hawk, I understand the intricacies of getting policy passed by staff vote, and can execute there as well.

I'm making this blog post to notify those few of you of what I'm attempting to do, and to let you know that I'm very aware that my actions/decisions will impact those of you who do use this space. I hope that impact is for the better.
