User blog:TK-999/Over a Thousand: A Summary of My Experiences

I am glad to announce, that, on February 28 2011, in the afternoon, I surpassed the limen of edits: one thousand (1,000) total, also counting the files.

Since July 21 2010, when I joined the wiki, I have held a fond opinion of it. I saw&mdash;and still see&mdash;it not only as a place to create Star Wars fanon, but as a place to find quality articles and stories, and last but not least, a hard-working, friendly and open community. Although I contributed less during the autumn of 2010, my gradual re-appearance and the beginning of cleanup edits in January 2011 was the direct road to here. But enough of the self-praise, let's see my opinion.

Selecting articles based on personal judgment would be biased, while selecting them based on quality would leave us with a heap of FAs and GAs. So only the users remain, who are arguably the most important of all, since they created, shaped and expanded the wiki, and I am grateful to count myself among them.

The Star Wars Fanon community, when it truly revealed itself to me in January was a real new world. I got to know Brandon Rhea, who intends to recreate the entire saga with a completely different storyline and characters and guided me since the start, Trak Nar, who creates amazing works of art, Sebolto, who is a true friend and whose articles bring some ancient Roman spirit to the wiki and Marek Joseph, who was one of the first people I contacted.

I know that ITCO is anxious that I left him out, so here's a mention of him.

Naturally, this was just a mere fraction of the real number of users I got to know. Those whose works and articles I read, unfortunately, cannot be listed here, but nevertheless, they are still Fanoneers&mdash;people who help the wiki and their fellow users with constant devotion.

This was my "millennial" message. May the Force be with Star Wars Fanon!
