User blog:TopsyKretts3/USER OF THE YEAR 2013: LovingKate



2013 was a year of major change on the Combat Arms Wiki. There were changes in the Wiki’s policy, changes in article standardization, and several changes in the leadership of the Wiki. Every change has its support and its opposition, and with so many changes on the Wiki in this year there were many polarizing issues, and many fights to be had. Among these fights there were lines being drawn, and sides being chosen, and with each line drawn and each side chosen there was the ever present threat of the Wiki collapsing into fighting, as well as chaos and anarchy.

While the Wiki’s doomsday clock came very close to hitting midnight many times, one thing stopped it – a sense of community unity and kinship. Of all the people who responsible for kindling this light, during a time of darkness brought on by numerous counts of squabbling, the greatest effort came from LovingKate.

Having joined in March of this year, Kate came in at the midst of many great conflicts, but she did not let this pull her compass from what she knew was true north. Rather than being dragged down in the bog of arguments, she instead chose to rise above it, and act as a beacon for the rest of the Wiki to swim towards. From her various blogs and community discussions, to her call for peace and unity, as well as her work attempting to mediate certain community disputes, LovingKate has dedicated an exceptional effort to keeping the Wiki’s peace. Were it not for here, certain conflicts would have escalated far beyond what they were, and destroyed the integrity and stability of the Wiki.

For this, LovingKate is hereby named the Combat Arms Wiki’s User of the Year for the year of 2013.
