I'm glad that you were honest about it because I suspected there was something unsaid that you still had a problem with.

I agree that it wasn't his place to simply grant me bureaucrat rights. I didn't realise that you had such a problem with it at the time and if you have been taking out any of that bitterness on me in how you interact with me, I really think you ought to have talked to me about it. I would have understood and we could have come to some sort of resolution.

I appreciate that you have certain opinions about things and obviously I don't expect you to ignore edits I make if they are at odds with those opinions. At the end of the day, since there are only two of us involved in a lot of these discussions it's not possible to reach a consensus. If we want to come to an agreement, other peoples opinions are going to need to come into play.

I don't understand how making a large amount of edits at once is me trying to get trophies. Often, I decide to take on a certain task and make multiple edits related to that task in succession. For example, I might play, say, Deus Ex: The Fall, take screenshots and then upload them at once because I have the time to do so and there isn't a point having them just sit there on my hard drive. Most of the logos didn't exist already though and I personally thought they would be worth adding to the wiki judging by what I saw on other wikis (for example Half-Life wiki has around 40 variations on the Aperture Science logo - that is admittedly excessive but I added nowhere near that many). Maybe that assumption shouldn't have been made about this wiki and since you disagreed with it, I did cut down on the number of logo's. I'm not sure about the location images though; particularly when it comes to an old game like Deus Ex or a frustrating game (at least on PC) like The Fall. I think it's really useful to have screenshots of the various areas - both for users who might want to find out about these games who haven't, don't want to or even can't play them, and for users who have played them but might want to reference an image or simply enjoy looking at them (this is the case for me even if I've already played the game). Well you picked up my intent with the lore category the wrong way. I can point you towards three wiki's that I've used in the past: Dragon Age, Elder Scrolls and Dishonored that all feature a lore category similar to the one I introduced. I mentioned before in the image thread that lore is a big reason for me being on the wiki. When I first began using this wiki as a reference on info about the game series, one of the first things I went looking for was a lore category like the ones above so I could find all of the info that was most relevant to me. I didn't find one though and that's why I thought the wiki could do with having all of those articles in one place.

Do you really think that I'd spend hours of my time contributing to this wiki for the trophies? What do they achieve apart from being an incentive for new editors to make plenty of contributions? If there was a way to exclude myself from getting any more of those badges I'd be happy to do it because I'm obviously going to get them more frequently than others since I'm one of the only active contributors here. I don't know what else to say to convince you that earning badges is not my reasoning behind making these edits but I want to be clear that it isn't.

I hope that is enough for you to see where I'm coming from. Despite what you might suspect I don't have a hidden agenda with regards the wiki and my contributions to it. If you are too, I am willing to put this behind us while having the appropriate discussions with the wider community about currently unresolved issues.
