User blog comment:JustSomeDude.../The Tension Part 1: Fear of Editing/@comment-5398287-20150325062355

"Even as an admin, I don't have any authority to tell you yes or no!"

I don't think you're abusing your power enough.

Anyway, as a very recent editor on this wiki, I can agree wholeheartedly with all of this. Part of the trouble in becoming active was trying to adapt to the rules for images and writing style, which are different from those of my home wiki (for reference, Bleach Wiki has everything written in-universe unless it's something like the music in the anime, whereas it's a bit more lax around here). It wouldn't surprise me if many editors experience the same thing, having gotten used to the rules of one wiki and finding it hard to follow or learn about the rules of another (I know it took me a while to fully understand image stuff, and even now I'm copypasting from existing examples). I do feel that it's easier to get away with large-scale edits once you've established a presence in the community rather than being a numbered ghost, though, as people know where you're coming from and how you work, so that's probably why many start out small or not at all.

Just some rambling thoughts at 11:30 pm.
