User:Kallie Jo/Wiki History

The day joining the Club Penguin Wiki; ahh, I remember it like yesterday. It was on Saturday, January 15, 2011, and the day prior there had been a snow storm (and I did not have school). On that particular day of January 15, 2011, I had been playing Club Penguin and a question had popped into my head: When was the Western Sunset Background last available? It had been one of my favorite backgrounds, and one of the first backgrounds I got on my account Luckyboy7777.

Well, I googled "Western Sunset Background" (I probably googled something like "Western Background" or "Desert Background", because I didn't know the item's official name). Nonetheless, the first thing that popped up was this own wiki's article about the background. I clicked it, and instantly the answer to my question became clear, as I could see right down to the day when it was released, re-released, and when it was last available.

I registered for an account with the same username as my old YouTube account: Celtics129 (I liked the Boston Celtics and 129 (January 29) is my birthday). I didn't really think too much of it.

There were already two pictures of the item in the gallery, but for some reason I felt the need to take a screenshot of me wearing it, crop it in MS Paint, upload it and it to the gallery. I was brand new to editing at the time (this was even my first encounter with Wikia) but I managed to properly add the image.

From that day until March 2011, I uploaded some images and added them to articles. From March 2011 to March 2013, I barely made any edits. In March 2013 I had rediscovered this wiki after forgetting about it (with only 400-500 edits) and I began editing again. Since my return, I had become pretty well known in the CP community under my username Luckyboy7777 as a Club Penguin blogger for various CP sites with millions of hits. I had also devoted a lot of my time to Twitter and tracking mascots on tracking chats on xat.com. When I returned to this wiki, I realized how great this wiki truly was, and I was in admiration and awe of how much information and how many devoted and kind users there were.

It was probably in June or July of 2013 when I started editing daily, and devoted most of my time to this wiki. I hung out on the chat a lot (I first discovered it on April 16, 2013) and got to know a lot of the users here. From April 16, 2013 to August 8, 2013, I made over 2,500 contributions, and had made a total of 3,000. On August 4, 2013, I was promoted to chat moderator. Throughout the month of August, I contributed greatly, adding better/useful images to pages, adding information, creating pages about new items, and becoming friends with a lot of the users on here. On August 26, 2013, I was promoted to Patroller (thanks to Vicyorus for recommending me!).

I kept editing a lot and spending as much time as I could on the chat. On September 4, 2013, school started for me again so I couldn't be as active as I wanted to be, but I still was very active. I still edited a lot though, and thankfully my work got recognized when I won POTM for September 2013 with 94.4% of votes! From then to now, I've kept editing a lot, hanging out on the chat a lot, patrolling edits, adding useful images, and more. I've realized that I truly love contributing to this wiki, and I do not have any plans to stop anytime soon! I've also learned a ton from my experience on this wiki. Thank you to all of those who have been there for me! You know who you are ;)
