RuneScape:Wiki Post/Editorials/Community

Written by: Bonziiznob


 * As a support worker in a very Christian organisation devoted to support persons with disabilities, we tend to run things a little differently then most of our sister organizations. Founded by Jean Vanier, a very noble Canadian, he created something that would changes the lives of many, and he did this through community. The difference, is that the support workers, or assistants as we prefer, live in the homes of the persons they support. We eat together, we pray together, we laugh together and we cry together. Every day, for close to two years now, I have been involved with this organization. By following what was implemented I have learned much on community, which as many would know is as significant there and it is here.


 * Community is present in every Wiki. Some however tend to have a stronger community then others. As a community, it is expected that we learn together, we argue together and we evolve together. This wiki does that. Although we may not always get along, that is not the significance of building a successful wiki, and argue with me if I am wrong, we tend to do things as a community pretty well. Community to me, is all but the most important offering this wiki has. Some would argue that it is the articles we have to offer, the information we have to share, but in reality, this wiki would not exist with out the success of this community as a whole. It is the dedication, the knowing of contributing, the idea of discussing, seeking approval, and contributing to community that users here are drawn too. It is as a whole that this wiki is so successful, and it is as a whole that we build this community.


 * Although, I may not be exactly expressing myself clearly above without exactly repeating myself in some cases, I think that my point is still clear. Below, I shall quote community from a friend of mine, an expert in the field, which I ask you compare to the community we have developed here:




 * Our community is very mysterious. We are a diverse selection of people, who have never met one another, yet, still, we can work together and develop ourselves well as a community. Community is what changes the world, it is what brings us together, and it is what make everything work without the mechanics of gears. We may break, but we still work together. No matter what happens, we are a community. We need to grow together, we need to expand together, and we need to function together. Without this, we cannot exist. Let us function as a whole and continue to make this community as strong and successful as possible.
