→ List of Inactive Brickipedians

Hi all, my suggestion at the moment is to create a page with a list of Brickipedians that have left but have contributed much to Brickipedia. My suggestions for the name are Wall or Hall of Fame. Ideas, anyone? Jag 01:03, July 19, 2011 (UTC)

Like I said on chat, I think that anyone who has contributed for two years or longer at Brickipedia regardless of whether they are active or not should also be on this wall. Other than that, I fully support. :)

- I like the idea Darth henry, however I personally would rather keep it original as 'Brick of Fame' to me is referring to Bricks that have earned fame and not the Brickipedians. Nice idea though. Oh and thanks for the support Mykheh. :)

- - - - Per above, but can we not do users who made like 200 edits or something? Because then we'd have to list wayyyyyy too many. Just sayin. -N B P 10:30, July 20, 2011 (UTC)
        And half of the way too many would be users who made <10 edits 2 years ago. - nxt 08:12, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
        By two years he means was active for a period of two years, not that they made 2 edits in 2009. - Kingcjc 08:30, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
      - Oh, I see now. But what about people like User:Construction Worker, User:Mariofighter3, and others? -N B P 12:30, July 21, 2011 (UTC)
        But how do we know? I'm not going through every user to see how long they were active for. - nxt 13:02, July 22, 2011 (UTC)
(Indentaion). How about voting for users who have been here for two+ years? •myk 13:05, July 22, 2011 (UTC)
NXT, I would go by the date that they joined.

- I know of alot of users that I think would deserve to be on this wall, if you'd like I can take care of it. It would be easy, I could get the names and someone else would just work with the coding to fancy it up. :) -N B P 16:23, July 22, 2011 (UTC)

- Mega-Oppose I like the idea of recognizing contributors but this brings up multiple issues. First, it splits people into "good" and "useless". I'm not saying that I don't find many people here to be useless, I'm saying that a lot of people here make good contributions, but only periodically. People like that form the majority of Wikipedia editors and without them Wikipedia would be a great deal smaller. Secondly, we have a great number of people who consider themselves to be helpful but in fact aren't/weren't. They would be offended by such a thing and since people here are so against anything offensive... Lastly, a hall/wall of fame just isn't right for a Wiki. This is an editing site. Badges were bad enough-they don't encourage productive editing, they encourage blogging uselessly and leaving spam messages, and they make editing into a game whereas without them editing was about information for its own sake, not for the sake of achieving something which is totally irrelevant and detracting from the wiki.

In summary: Not a good idea. It ostracizes those who think that they've been good but who are not deemed good enough (for many people 100 edits is a lot-I don't edit regularly on Wikipedia, but I edit whenever I'm browsing for fun and find mistakes in the grammar). It also says, point blank, "you're great", or "you're not great". And, again, we need less tools to encourage editing and more actual editing. BobaFett

I'm indifferent about this whole issue, but I have a response to your comment: encyclopedic edits aren't the only way of contributing to the wiki. FB100Z • talk • contribs 02:36, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

I don't think that I said it was. Images, categories (to the extent that they aren't just being added for kicks), subpages, and forums (about useful things) are all valid ways of contributing.

Barnstar worthy comment, don't you think? :P -N B P 14:46, July 26, 2011 (UTC)

Which comment? Or is that a joke?

For anyone who cares, I made this for start, just could use some sprucing up. Those are the users that really stood out IMO. -N B P 20:03, July 28, 2011 (UTC)
