Your work
Hi Zackary, and thanks for approving my wiki request recently. About "I am currently learning how to code in programming in hopes of getting a job in video game design," I sure hope that's going well for you? I've done a bit of coding in my time but, frankly, I'm rusty as hell these days. Serves me right for starting-out in Cobol, I guess. But count on me for moral support, at least, haha. All the best, -J CptRabid (talk) 16:45, 26 July 2021 (UTC)


 * Ehhh, it's no problem at all. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 16:47, 26 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You got a mention on the Main Page, too - long may it last. Hey, is there a top ten "things you should do or, at least, think about doing" when your wiki has been created?  Or, do you yourself have a top five or - hell, I'm desperate - a top three? Cheers, -J CptRabid (talk) 17:41, 26 July 2021 (UTC)

Getting in touch one last time... for now...? We'll see...
Hi, DarkMatterMan4500. It's me, FreezingTNT. I apologize for my aggressive behavior and threat to put Cuties onto the Greatest Movies Wiki. As I feel like you guys won't change your mind in regards to your "reception" and "popular opinions/general consensus" policies, and after a while of discussion with, I have made my decision to create my own duology of wikis: the Wikis for Media of Good and Bad. They'll be identical to the Reception Wikis/QP, and I'm even considering pasting many specific articles from the wikis onto both of my wikis — however, I feel like I need the whole QP moderation team's permission or approval in order to move forward in the direction I just told you I wanted to go.

Could you contact the other mods about this? To see if they would approve of me pasting exact articles from QP?

 * As an obligatory notice, wikis that are near full duplicates of other Miraheze wikis with only an odd 5 to 15 percent difference in content may be shut down. That level of replication may not fly at a Miraheze Meta level. Raidarr (talk) 19:04, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

To be fair, there were the Outcast Wikis (although those were shut down for different, unrelated reasons).

EDIT: Also, it wouldn't be an exact copy of one individual wiki, each of the two wikis would paste in articles from different, separate QP wikis while pasting in my own articles from time to time. And given that articles do tend to be re-worked or improved... who knows (when it comes to the upcoming pasted QP articles)?

 * Outcast was Outcast for good reason. I'll make a second notice after giving more thought to your approach; rather than try to split things into equidistant good or bad, I would think someone learning from QP's mistakes will avoid one of the common sources of drama and simply present 'the facts' of what is good or bad on one wiki, in one article so you can deflect people who argue over it being ultimately good or ultimately bad, especially when things like priorities, context and relevance are thrown into a heated discussion. Now, if you were to include a stronger content policy as far as what is truly good or bad, I may personally be tempted to contribute based on clear metrics. The lack of clearly defined ones is one of several issues I take with QP wikis, and I figure a wise owner would try to resolve the administrative issues rather than duplicate them. Further discussion I can take to the accepted MediaofGood platform as compared to furthering the topic on this page. --Raidarr (talk) 21:18, 27 July 2021 (UTC)
 * You already made your point multiple times, but I chose to not comment on it until you brought it here. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:53, 27 July 2021 (UTC)

@Raidarr To clarify; it would be two wikis — Wiki for Media of Good would be for good media, and Wiki for Media of Bad would be for bad media. They would be sister wikis of each other, if you know what I mean. Regarding your second sentence; in this context, "good" would mean... well, it has a lot of positives (in that they usually overwhelm the flaws, yadda yadda), and on the other hand "bad" would mean extremely flawed, not necessarily a piece of shit or a flaming dumpster fire or whatever.

"Now, if you were to include a stronger content policy as far as what is truly good or bad" There are always things that usually resonate with or relate to or excite audiences, hence the "positives" — on the other hand, there are things and "imperfections" that usually tend to... irritate audiences, such as plot holes, inconsistencies, contrivances, blatant rehashing of previous stories, unlikable or annoying characters, low-quality visuals, unfitting music, etc., hence the "negatives".

So, it would lean on reception, sort of... but not necessarily for movies/video games/shows/whatever's individually, more for how the audience responds to such things such as positives or negatives. Humans are typically creatures that are more likely to want things to be perfect, hence why we tend to get upset about things that aren't exactly perfect such as my examples from above — they are also typically creatures that are more likely to relate to things such as relatable or complex characters or beautiful-looking visuals or good acting or anything else that they find entertaining, yadda yadda.

So basically, imagine one of those YouTube or critic reviews you would typically find on the Internet — they're pointing out positives that typical audiences would relate to or negatives that would hurt typical audiences' enjoyment. They're recommending what to check out or not to check out. This is what I intend to do, that the Reception Wikis/QP failed to do — point out things based on what actually happens in the movie (and not reception or popular opinion for the media individually), things that humans would be more likely to see as "perfections" and/or "imperfections". Yeah, you get the point.

EDIT: Also, I'll try to make sure individual pointers never misinterpret what actually happens in the media as much as I can.

"I figure a wise owner would try to resolve the administrative issues rather than duplicate them." I figure I may need others to serve as consultants...

@DarkMatterMan4500 "Bring it here?" What do you mean by the "it"? ',:(

FreezingTNT (talk) 00:06, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Did I just get kicked off of the QP Discord server? All I was trying to do was let the others know I was splitting off from them (as in making my own wikis), and apologizing for the Cuties incident.

FreezingTNT (talk) 17:59, 28 July 2021 (UTC)

Thank you
Hi many thanks for activating my wiki really appreciated. Admiral Marcus (talk) 07:25, 28 July 2021 (UTC)


 * You're welcome, and sorry for my late response. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 19:24, 11 August 2021 (UTC)

In case you didn't know
DuchessTheSponge should have actually been blocked. I cannot believe that he's not blocked for closing the Fresh Websites and Rotten Websites Wiki. MountWario (talk) 22:48, 25 August 2021 (UTC)

Apologies
Sorry. Sperosdurell (talk) 02:18, 29 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Oh, that's quite alright. No harm was done. But I'm just letting you know that was suspected of being a sockpuppet of a locked user, WG8686. Please note that this individual in question has been making similar requests in the past as several sockpuppets, only to be treated with a boomerang lock in return instead. These following examples of this guy using sockpuppets on the Stewards' Noticeboard should be pretty painfully obvious as their edits like this one are nothing more than a mere attempt to get either me or  de-platformed without evidence, and filing frivolous and/or repeated false statements in their reports without having evidence of harassment. This has been going on since around September 22nd, 2020, exactly 11 months now. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:32, 29 August 2021 (UTC)
 * And as soon as I posted this, I saw that SpiderManDude has made an additional false statement, which is evidenced enough to warrant an action against the filer. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 02:35, 29 August 2021 (UTC)

Welp
Since Duchess has been globally locked and Mario is apparently retiring and has asked to be globally locked, it looks like you are in charge of Qualitipedia. As a result, you can unblock me from the wikis I am blocked on, restore my userpage, and hopefully forget about this whole thing. Finally, the second phase of Blubagate has come to a possible end! Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:52, 9 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Well not quite yet, since Mario has to officially retire. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 18:52, 9 September 2021 (UTC)
 * DMM is in number one place, while Mario was only in 2 and has already passed position 2 to Blazikeye. --Raidarr (talk) 08:31, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. I just hope DMM unblocks me so that the situation will officially be all over. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:23, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I will ping Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:27, 10 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It has been 4 days since I messaged you and still no answer. Since Duchess is locked and Mario has requested to be locked, you are in charge of Qualitipedia, so can you unblock me. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:25, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I just don't want to start anything here, that's all. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 20:44, 13 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Ok. As long as I am unblocked, I am happy. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 20:30, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Warning
Hey man, are you alright? I need more volunteer admins on the wiki I manage. That at least looks at recent changes once every ONE WEEK, if anyone wants to volunteer, and you invited. Thanks YellowFrogger (talk) 01:20, 15 September 2021 (UTC) YellowFrogger (talk) 01:39, 15 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Alright, thanks for the invitation. As for that question, yes, I am doing just fine. Thanks for asking. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 01:54, 15 September 2021 (UTC)

Morning!!!
Thanks for visiting the USA wiki. SperosDurrell (talk) 11:01, 23 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Not a problem. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 11:02, 23 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Anytime you got a minute, edit away!!! If your not busy that is. 😊 SperosDurrell (talk) 11:06, 23 September 2021 (UTC)

A favor
Can you add a site notice on all of the Qualitipedia wikis telling people to bump up the page count on Worst Music & Songs Wiki to 40 pages so that the main pages can be redesigned, I cannot edit the site notice since I am not an admin. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 17:03, 25 September 2021 (UTC)


 * Just propose a main page redesign based on the fact it is a part of QP and the front page should look moderately okay regardless. You don't need a sitenotice for this. --Raidarr (talk) 20:38, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I could manage that at any point of time. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:41, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Problem is, I am blocked on Qualitipedia Meta. Also, the current main page for Worst Music & Songs Wiki needs to match up with the other wikis, and there needs to be 40 pages for the main page to be redesigned. You do need a sitenotice, not a proposal. Blubabluba9990 (talk) 15:07, 26 September 2021 (UTC)

SOS
Check your eMail. One of the admins is toxic AF MountWario (talk) 23:14, 25 September 2021 (UTC)


 * First off, he has done absolutely nothing wrong here. If anything, the things you are saying about Blazikeye535 pretty much describes what you're doing, and I am not at all impressed with that type of attitude. Secondly, give yourself a hard look in a mirror, because all you're doing is being disruptive and it wastes everyone's time. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 23:29, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
 * Well, he made fun of my name calling it "MoronWario". I didn't harass and he banned me across all of qualitipedia, even the wikis where i did nothing wrong on WITHOUT WARNING! I think a new rule called "You cannot block someone unless they have somehow violated the rules, even if it is on another qualitipedia wiki. MountWario (talk) 02:52, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
 * It doesn't matter right now. I have switched that reason to the correct one. Also, you aren't that much better, given that you were also name-calling someone else and also showing off poor conduct on that thread. DarkMatterMan4500 (talk) (contribs) 09:18, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
