Well, first, it's rather bad form to quote a chap and then not provide the source on something that was said awhile ago, as I guarantee this was after having searched my contributions for when I'd have said something along those lines and not found it. I say (or said) a lot of things, so you have me at a disadvantage as to remembering its specific context. BUUUUUT, since you said please&hellip;

In general, the statement means that initiative is highly-rewarded in communities such as this one. I wanted a means to recognize fan-fiction works, which once upon a time didn't exist on this site. I brainstormed with some other lads (and Solus) in IRC to figure out the details and then submitted it for the formality of the consensus track. On Wookieepedia, I spearheaded a bunch of projects and saw them come to fruition because I showed the initiative and hard work to do it. Unless the idea sucks, most wikis are generally responsive to initiative and good ideas. It is also essential to have built a group of people who at least nominally supportive, so my statement isn't "go out and do it all yourself." It's "lead the charge," which implies there are other people involved. It's essential to have ideas and execution and collaboration even if one or two people do most of the heavy lifting.
