User blog comment:CyberTheNerd/SOG Wikia Staff Meeting 9/@comment-3417255-20141101061616

Ok, I know this is a bit of a touchy subject and all, however I'm not sure if it needs to be addressed or not. I know part of it has, but some rescent developments/edits may not have. The subject of which I speak of is 1999, which was migrated by Sifenchar.

As many know, those from the CP page made objections to the additions to the story made by Sif. Additions which were made indipendant of the original creator's direction. After the matter was addressed and dealt with, it seems a number of users from the CP page continued to visit regarding the matter, with one of them being the original creator themselves. The creator, Giant engineer, asked that the added content be removed from the story. However, in the comment, it is noted that those in charge of the CP page had informed him of the matter.

A couple hours after the comment had been posted, another user of the CP page (Dabomb62) made the edit to remove the added content, which was followed with an edit from another user (LOLSKELETONS) that added a note with a link to the original on the CP page. It also had the following towards the end...

"If you're adding new updates from the original Creepypasta Wiki page, please be sure to state that in the edit summary. Anything else will be removed."

To be honest, I am very much tempted to rewrite the note to simply be a notation of who the original creator of the story was, and nothing more. After all, the one who added the note has no authority here. The only people, IMO, to make such a statement would be the original content creator, and the admins of SoG Wiki. Even at that, the request of the original creator came after users from the CP page got involved with the matter.

At the same time, I would have rather seen Sif been the one to have made the approprate edits in order to revert the story back to it's original form. Namely because then it wouldn't come off as borderline vandalism of the page. While the posting of the story here was already a violation of the rules, it feels as if the actions of others from outside the site is bordering on violations as well. And as the old saying goes "two wrongs don't make it right".
