Hi,

If you have found me to come across as arrogant I suggest you step back and look at your previous motives and actions. If we are pulling out the honesty card I find you rather immature and cocky at times (again, do not take offence, this is purely my view), and have been picking on other users at times for things really not worth mentioning. I most likely come across as arrogant due to the fact that I have to manage you as an admin (not entirely a bad thing, don't get me wrong) and find it difficult due to the fact of you changing things that work perfectly fine, messing things up without knowing you are, and being rather immature at times. I really am feeling the pressure of managing it all (and understand now why Justin, SD, and Dino have all left) but things are really making it difficult for me to do so.

Maybe I did not make myself clear earlier, but I wanted more staff on the team to help manage this wiki (in particular admins & rollbacks). I would like to ask you why you see a list of a 4 names lengthy? Also why do you keep comparing the Knights & Dragons Wiki to the Dragonvale Wiki? We are completely seperate from them, and do not even share a similar game developer.

The template issue is really something minor, and if you are bent on having it 'just as the dragonvale wiki has it' then you can do it your way if you want, I am just saying it looks very neat how it is and is efficient. Having 4 names in a column really isn't a big deal in my opinion, but if you want it done the dragonvale wiki way then you can change it. I just honestly do not see the problem with how it is currently. Also the Mainpage_staff_full is there purely as a reference to all the staff members (current and previous).

Now with the whole bookstore concept, I do not know what you are getting at. We already are presenting our active staff on the mainpage (new books), and our old staff are still available to find, but are not "showcased" as such. Our new staff are shown and our old staff are not, what are you trying to argue?

"You cannot succeed on wikia if you don't reference"

What exactly do you mean by that? The Knights & Dragons Wiki is not Wikipedia, our information comes mostly from the direct game and not from external sources which we must reference. Additionally, a referencing system would greatly deter editors if that is what you mean by this?

"The wikia community wants change and development on this wikia"

We want development and change in a good way, but often you are making change in the wrong direction.

"If you hold back such a tiny and invisible template, then it is impossible for us to start big projects" As I have said, change it if you are really that desperate to do so. I will not argue if you are getting all caught up about having things the dragonvale wiki way about a template as minor as this. As an admin I have better things to do such as manage the community than argue about a few hundred bytes of mostly irrelevant data.

Now with the demotions I have chosen to leave them as is. There is no harm in them remaining as admins, and would be of no benefit to demote them. If anything a demotion of previous staff members would have a negative effect on the community at large as it would deter the user from returning to the Knights & Dragons Wiki if the thought crossed their mind.

If you still find me to be arrogant I think it might be best for you to find out why you might find that or have anger towards me? My probably suggestion is that it could be from Justin promoting me to Bureaucrat over you, or maybe some anger from having your previous promotions often declined.

I know we do conflict on some things, but you are making mountains out of anthills, Kuby. As you are an admin you are expected to behave in a manner that benefits and supports the wiki, not makes it a mess.
