User blog:Geniusguy445/You can't all be anonymous...

Greetings fellow slaves workers of the wiki! We appear to be encountering some problems with everyone believing that anonymity makes us each distinct! Well it doesn't. As Wikia allows the world to edit without an account, we have many people editing undercover. That means whenever someone edits something like a user page or an article without asking, we don't know who it is. We are begining to note some complaints about random people suggesting major changes without telling us who they are. That means that their suggestions won't be taken. A level of trust is not there. It is even worse, when this English-speaking wiki encounters users that speak only in another language.

Occasionally, everyone, even ME, forget to log in when making changes. That can be seen as annoying if we are disruptive, or even if we something amazing to share, and can't receive feedback (just one of the amazing benefits of having a user name). We are a growing wiki, and when we see anonymous users, we hope it is someone new, who wants to help. Just many problems come up.

Which brings me here, to my proposal. I have been traveling around, finding edits by unnamed people, and then hearing them later say, "Sorry that was me. I forgot to log in." I go to there Ip address user page, ("A wikia contributor" leads the contributer's "contributions" page. It also has an automatic User and talk page), and say "this IP address belongs to _____. That way, if anyone wants to know, the information is there. Mine is there as proof.

So what I want you to do is to log off, comment on this blog (nothing much is necessary or desired), post, go to the main page, click the "a wikia contributor" link, go from contributions to user page, edit, tell me who's user page it is by logging in and signing you signature (or confirming) on the page, and then comment here to tell me that you have done it. If we all do this, the wiki will be a better place.

(If you stay tuned, tomorrow I will post a rant about how many people on Ebay and Kijiji act like Shy Guys. Seeya then! Geniusguy445 (talk) )
