Blog 2 of 2: Ultimatum
I've been quiet about most of this for the longest time, and I've been in doubt about my course of action for the same amount of time. My choice to share it now comes from anger, humiliation, and the fact I want to do something about but don't think it's right to let this decision be mine alone.
I am talking about the officalness of this wiki and my wish to, if nothing else, end that officialness. I can't stand anymore how I and the wiki are being treated, so if I'm not getting anything out of it, I at least want my investment back.
The story starts in June or July, when I was approached by Wikia with the request to cooperate with them and Mattel to reform this wiki into the official EAH Wiki. I was hesitant from the start, but I didn't want…
Racial Representation in EAH
This isn't a topic anyone from the MHWiki will be surprised to see me write about, but for anyone else: yes, this is important to me and I hope that can be respected. I know how the MH crowd thinks of this and how the EAH-only crowd feels about this I suppose I'll know soon. I request that if you would have the urge to comment on what I'm about to write with anything along the lines of "Purple or green, we're all human," that you don't. It'll do us both a favor.
I don't know if anyone of you has noticed the controversy surrounding Disney's Frozen, but in summary it comes down to anger over the fact that in 2009, 86 years after the company was founded, 72 years after Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, and 17 years after Aladdin, the first black c…
The Next Step: Going Official!
Dear regulars, new users, and visitors,
For a while now, a royal surprise has been brewing and its time to let the genie out of the bottle.
Our wiki will enter a partnership with Mattel and become a channel for the company to communicate with its Ever After High fans. This means that the wiki will be promoted on Mattel's other channels and receive exclusive content and opportunities, starting with a new front page design and a personality quiz that will be added towards and/or on the 14th. The front page design is set for another update towards September, so make sure to check back regularly.
What more the future of this partnership holds will be revealed in due time, but expect it to be good!
Management-wise, the Ever After High Wiki will remai…
Characters
Now that most characters have a page and the backgrounders are accounted for, I think it's okay for the wiki to start incorporating pages for significant but unnamed characters. This includes the Daughter of Bo Peep, the Son of the Hero of Haarlem, and the Three Little Pigs together ("Sons of" can be omitted because whichever work explicitly refers to them just calls them the Three Little Pigs).
Not sure yet whether the gingerbread guy in Apple's Tale and the gnome with the tall hat deserve pages, but the Grimmnastics teacher can too.
As well, while I wouldn't know where else to put her but on the backgrounders page, I'd like to ask the community about their opinion on the backgrounder girl in blue and purple. I'm absolutely adoring her app…
