@[[User:Emma|Emma]] can you confirm whether the statements I wrote in [[Community:Zelda Wiki#Footnotes|this footnote]] are accurate? You've already touched upon the subject on your user page but I think it would be good to have something on this talk page for the record. I'm planning to use a link to this discussion as the reference where that <code>[citation needed]</code> placeholder is currently. | |||
I'd like to mention that I'm also working on something that I think will lend even more credibility to your claim. I just have to run it by the other staff first. [[User:PhantomCaleb|PhantomCaleb]] ([[User talk:PhantomCaleb|talk]]) 13:42, 15 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
::I do swear to the best of my ability and knowledge that the claims I have made are accurate to a reasonable degree. I summed the events up best I can on my userpage, sourced from whatever records I still have access to. For the record here, towards the end of September 2010, I was doing routine bulk wiki housekeeping and noticed obsolete interwiki links and it occurred to me it'd be useful to have a place to link to to cover Nintendo subjects that come up here but we can't really cover here. And as I was an admin at South Park Archives on Fandom at the time, having horrible experiences with their constant meddling, and aware of Jess complaining about Fandom's offers to buy Zelda Wiki she'd be rejecting, I suggested in the Zelda Wiki Admin Chat on Skype, which I was the sole controller of, that we approach Bulbapedia and Mario Wiki about forming a partnership. My idea was dismissed, and was told it was not practical, and three weeks later a false incident was arranged, detailed on my page, that would give the pretext to remove me as an admin and force the total deletion of the chats I controlled, including that one. So the records were lost, and couldn't be recovered especially after my computer died in 2016. A few months later the very same people who dismissed my idea and falsely accused me of wrong doing, publicly announced they started the process of forming NIWA. The behavior of these individuals was not a secret, they did things like this in public in front of witnesses all the time, and others around at the time would not find my claims that far fetched in my belief. - {{:User:Emma/sig|~}} 14:18, 15 April 2023 (UTC) | |||
