Heeeeey PowerCrusher!

It has officially been a while since I last contributed to Candy Crush. Even though my profile officially shows, the crazy thing is that I am very active in the field that is ultimately relevant to Candy Crush: Computer Science. Right now, my focus has moved on to mathematical research and a variety of miscellaneous projects such as programming programs for my role as a future Teaching Assistant and gathering statistics for a database project. That means, simply engaging in the Candy Crush wiki is not enough to support my claim as a "computer scientist" or "computer programmer."

My most notable contributions besides the almost unique role of extractor is to occasionally format templates so they will be updated dynamically; these include colored level links (remember the 2013 years) and the dynamic hexagonal levels. I also provided charts for episode difficulties, though the last one is more than 1 year ago.

Fortunately, many other admins, especially those responsible for new levels and redesigns came to provide accurate information, effectively making me only a database person or a person designed to verify and review all the pages of the wiki.

I already devised a large nomination list (around 10 users) for notable users who have contributed at least somewhat notably in the wiki, which will be posted in batches with the first one starting at Independence Day. That way, more ranked users will show up on the wiki.

At a WAM of 95, this wiki is still considered a good wiki. The other Candy Crush games are in rather bad shape, with Soda still having many missing levels, and Jelly and Friends being in much poorer shape. Even if I stated that I am an active contributor, I ain't the most active player around and many info I gathered are still in my computer only. Nevertheless, this wiki and the other Candy Crush wikis still have hope provided that I provide the extracted information and the other users volunteer to contribute to the mainspace.

From now on, I will actively participate in the CCSW project after taking a break from the 4D figures project and a Grammy project. I am sorry several tentative deadlines haven't been met and that I have let the other volunteering users take over my role. Here are some comments regarding your four points of improvement:


 * 1) Very important, the comments also work. Also, many levels now have redesign pages, though many are poorly titled and do not have dates. I will provide a database of these redesigns. Hopefully I can provide a summary of these redesigns and judge whether they are major or minor (something more than just extractions)
 * 2) Very important, every user ranging from the anonymous IP users, the unranked commenting users, and the ranked users are a great help to this wiki and keeps the wiki alive. As this wiki does not use Discussions, the ranked users are happy to reply to the comments.
 * 3) A Redesigning/Current page can be used to help track the redesigns.
 * 4) That, along with commenting, is a reliable way to be contributing to the site and eventually get a rank.

Hope you have a wonderful Independence Week!
