Redding Wiki

Today I decided to make more edits on the Sacramento Wiki to fill the missing gap that is the Davis Wiki. Although I was successful in getting my Fraternity recognized it was only through an indirect process. Although I can freely go about my editing business on the Sacramento Wiki I do not know a whole lot about the city. As such I have become more enthused about visiting Sacramento and making more productive edits as considered by the administrators. During my time at the Sacramento Wiki I haven't had to deal with any reverts and all personal attacks to my Wiki user page have been deleted by the administrators.

But I wanted to take it a next step further and create a Wiki for my hometown of Redding. There are several advantages to this plan. Only I, Steven Ostrowski, have lived in Redding for 16 years and only I can properly edit it so as to bring out Redding glory and pride. Shortly I will have people from Redding involved in this process so as to create more perspective. However, in the meantime the Redding Wiki will be NPOV as it should be for all wikis. This will prevent the very small amount of current editors from creating heavy bias on the pages. It is also quite ideal for everyone involved, their businesses, and reputations.

As a security pre-caution I have banned several users, about a dozen now, from the Redding Wiki. These individuals are either political enemies or trouble makers on the Davis Wiki and I will not allow their drama, insults, and idiocy to harm my own hometown's Wiki. One tried to get around me but within a short time he has found himself completely banned. His actions just before he was snuffed out is exactly what I mean when I need editors who are going to join not for the purpose of challenging me. Jason Aller is doing an excellent job and will probably surpass me in edits in the short run. He has done a great deal and I am pleased that he is taking part in this mission.

There are two administrators for the Redding Wiki and I hope to keep it that way so as to not overly complicate things. Last thing I want are administrators fighting amongst each other. I will make a great wiki either through administration or page building. I am going to greatly enjoy building this Wiki and I hope that the people of Redding will appreciate my style, committment, effort, and judgment.

Sacramento Wiki Expansion

I have created a new Facebook group for the sole purpose of editing the Sacramento Wiki which I have determined is in great need of work. I am also aware of the flood of active Davis Wiki editors who have landed themselves into Sac Wiki. As such it is important to bring more editors to the Sacramento Wiki in order to create greater activity and neutrality. I have added six hundred people to the group and hopefully it will amount to a large group, other administrators may add hundreds more. If the group expands to a large degree I will be able to coordinate lecture hall classes on how to edit the Sacramento Wiki which in turn will assist in teaching how the Davis Wiki works as well.

The Wiki is simple to use but it is sometimes intimidating to many people and it has become necessary to add more people to both the Davis and Sacramento Wiki systems. The reason being is that less than 1% of the population define what Davis and Sacramento are. This creates bias and a lack of perspective and information to the system.

As such I am going to bring it upon myself to teach wheoever is willing as to how the system works because I know a great deal about it, probably not as good as the administrators but good enough. This is consistent and a small part of the overall plan to change Davis.

There are a few observations to be made. First of all, no ASUCD official from any slate will be allowed in the group. If you join I will ban you. This is also the case with any non-friendly Davis Wiki editors. You are poison for discussion, teaching, and good will.

I am hopeful that this will give me greater editorial control, better networking abilities, and will flood both Wiki systems with new blood.

The Beginning

On September 10, 2007, a date I will remember for a long time I was banned from the Davis Wiki. So, it would seem the master of the dark side has been slain. The Davis Wiki will lack a great deal of perspective with me gone. In a very short time a lot of activity will become noticeable in UC Davis, especially ASUCD, and in the City of Davis. How this will be portrayed is really unknown now that this has happened.

In the near future I will be training “apprentices” in how the Davis Wiki works. I will teach them code and how to make edits on how to deal with idiots like William Lewis. I will assist them in how to use talk pages and revert edits to protect their accounts and their friend’s accounts from lies and defamations of the enemy.

In order to show more evidence that I am a great Wiki Editor, as in the greatest of all time in this community I will be working on the Sac Wiki and in a very short time I will be the #1 editor on the Sac Wiki and will soon have more edits than both Founders combined. I will show the Sac Wiki editors that I am the reasonable one and that the others are a bunch of growling attack dogs. I will redeem myself to those in Sacramento with positive edits that will bring balance, neutrality, and accurate information. It will become apparently clear that I am one of the best on this.

I want to thank those who have assisted me on the Davis Wiki and defended me on the talk page. Despite the fact that I told you not to in order to protect your reputations and public image you did it anyway. That’s really telling about your editing style and friendship and I will remember it. I especially thank Max for bringing this whole system to my attention.

Now to the Davis Wiki’s reputation: You may think you are the greatest thing on Earth but I know what others think of you outside your bubble. You are a loaded gun, a weapon to be used against people in local Davis politics. For many that is your purpose and you have allowed it to happen. You will continue to allow it to happen. I hope that changes, I really do.

As for an apology, guess what, not happening. I may have been a bit rude but no where near the others. I will not apologize one bit no matter what. My conscious will not allow me too because it will give credibility, honor, and respect to my enemies and I will never give them that satisfaction. Nor will I lie about myself in order to get back on the Davis Wiki. By submitting to the others I will have betrayed my ideals, principles, friends, and allies and the worse thing on Earth is betrayal and disloyalty. I would rather be hated then ask forgiveness from the likes of Schwab, the most manipulative public figure in the history of the Davis Wiki.

To the general community of Davis Wiki, I hope to meet you all in person. I will go to your restaurants, your communities, your clubs, and to you as a person so that I may be able to reach out. I want to know how I can help you in Davis whether it be about the quality of life in Davis or your ideals. We may not agree but I will respect it. Soon, everyone in Davis will know who I am and it will be the most positive thing in my life. I don’t need the likes of William Lewis to tell me who I am.

If you wish to talk to me in person about this, call me, or AIM me you may do so I will happily talk to you about anything about the Davis Wiki. All of this should be very interesting for the journal a friend of mine is writing up. There are some individuals I have no interest talking to and they know who they are, but I am a very pleasant person to have a conversation with. Tis all, may my ghost haunt your little club.

These are some conpiled stats I counted up. I may be off by maybe a few on the really big edit counts but none of the stats should be off by any more than 1%. This blog entry is on going as I will probably add more examples and pages.

LEAD's hold on Davis Wiki

It is my belief that the Davis Wiki is often used as a political football by the powers that control ASUCD. The LEAD slate dominates the Davis Wiki among ASUCD savvy individuals. I do not count neutral editors in this study due to their low involvement in ASUCD edits. In this study I have listed partisans to LEAD and the former Student Focus and myself. It is my conclusion for this last year that those who oppose the LEAD regime in any particular way will quickly find their profiles and reputations in ruins. If it is not a conscious effort is an unconscious one as the Davis Wiki's tilt has gone LEAD's way. One only has to look at the LEAD wiki page and then my own public page. When it comes to opposition party's pages they are at the mercy of LEAD editors who will blatantly attack or make settle edits to make them look bad. It is my firm belief that the only thing that protects myself, my activities, my groups, my friends and allies, my favored groups, or groups I have sympathy towards from LEAD is me.

While LEAD has taken great measures to make their enemies look foolish I have taken the honorable path of not outing the drug addictions, recreational drug use, sexual orientations, corruption scandals, criminal activity, etc of LEAD officials.

I do not necessarily believe in NPOV as I love to see what people think and I find every page of the Davis Wiki filled with human feeling and emotion. Sometimes I sense humor, anger, curiosity, joy, and hatred in many of the Davis Wiki pages. With LEAD they have collectively used the Davis Wiki as an advertisement sign and are tilting it towards their side. Why is this important? The Davis Wiki is not in my view supposed to be a collection of half truths, feelings, and lies. It is to be the truth as determined by those who know. Not every Davis Wiki editor is equal. I have knowledge of a subject that others do not. Other editors have knowledge that I do not. Every editor in a way is specialized due to their proximity to the subject they are editing or their connection with the subject.

In any case if words alone cannot convince you I have listed all of the editors aligned with LEAD and everyone else. Although not all of them make constant ASUCD edits I do not either. This is to show the bias, the tilt, the gang up I experience on a regular basis. The solution is simple, a reduction in Davis Wiki LEAD editors by reducing the amount of LEAD officials who know of ASUCD, or teaching non-LEAD members how to use the Davis Wiki. With these two choices in mind it is clear that I must do both for the sake of the Davis Wiki and ASUCD. From this point on I will teach others how to use the Davis Wiki more than I have done in the past. I find myself horrified at what would happen to those not associated with LEAD if I had not been present on the Davis Wiki.
