This is my second history page, created on 23rd February, 2014 (I hope I can create it in Sep, but school is busy). It records my histories in 2013-2014!

Don't read it in our wiki app.

Bold text indicates that user is a main character of my history in this year.

August 2013

14th August, 2013. First day in my second year. I continued to do PvZA zombies appearances project.

15th August, 2013. Path placed plants category was created by me. Peterfetch (called TheGreenNapalm now) was promoted to chat mod also.

It's Raining Seeds became our wiki 21st Featured Article! (only I voted though)

PvZ 2 had been released worldwide! In iOS only...

16th August, 2013. Added PvZA zombies appearances in Zombitorium Manor, my project was done.

17th August, 2013. Mile disappeared again between 13/8 to 16/8. He came back on this day. I asked him if his computer crushed again. He said that his parents planned a surprise holiday, so he couldn't let us know before he went.

A plant asked to be rollback, most people voted yes.

18th August, 2013. I added the nominator to every battle page.

19th August, 2013. A plant was promoted by me.

20th August, 2013. HUGE CHANGE in Decorations page! I changed the style in this page (from gallery to table). It took me an hour to do this.

21st August, 2013. I wrote the last section in my first history page! It's fully completed! PvZBeast liked it so much! He also asked what's the meaning of the Chinese words at the end of the page.

I upload many many files that day, because I needed to create Paths page! It's another HUGE PROJECT!.

22nd August, 2013. I created Brain Busters Template.

24th August, 2013. I made a blog. I would have a trip on 25/8 to 27/8. This was one of the only two times I changed my status in staff page, from active to on vacation.

25th August, 2013. First day ever I didn't edit on Plants vs. Zombies Wiki!

25th and 26th August, 2013. I could only use my phone to check the recent changes. What the, there were many bad things in these two days.

  • TheBlueRogue, a Wikia staff, who made a huge change on the main page! What the heck? Even he was a Wikia staff, he needed to ask our permission first! The worst thing was he didn't add the dot in Plants vs. Zombies Wiki. And no one noticed it!
  • Wntermelon noticed us, something called SOPA would make all the wikis shut down, people couldn't share their things in Facebook, YouTube, etc. None of us supported this. Finally this bill was stopped by over 100000 votes. (sorry for saying that, I was surprised when I saw Wintermelon's words were fully grammatical correct, then I clicked the link, and knew why)

27th August, 2013. I came back at that night. I changed my status from on vacation to active, this was the second time to change it.

SHAME OF PLANTS VS. ZOMBIES WIKI - me, Someone456

I added the dot in the heading immediately.

30th August, 2013. When I checked my userpage, I saw that I got 13000 edits! I made a screenshot to record it. PvZBeast congratulated me, but he made a little mistake in his words, he said only 3000 edits. :P

September 2013

3rd September, 2013. Lawn Defender and me were having a little discussion about Zomboni's health.

6th September, 2013. Boarba Fett sent a message to me. He asked me why I blocked him. He renamed Dolphin to Zombie Dolphin because of Zombie Bull and Zombie Parrot. He said that he's trying to make this wiki better.

Facepalm

So, why did you block me for trying to make this wikia better? - Boarba Fett

You were not trying to make this wiki better, OK? - me, Someone456

Then I told him the reason, I was really angry (because he gave us trouble when he renamed the pages), my saying was a bit rude. I apologize here.

I made my fifth talk archive. I forgot to protect it, and Boarba Fett sent message to it!

7th September, 2013. New Paths were added to PvZA, I need to update the page too.

I blocked Bonkchoysarecool12 (called Spring Bean now) because of inserting redundant contents, spamming, removing warning and threatening me.

8th September, 2013. I got annoyed. After I blocked Bonkchoyarecool, a user called Nathania1221 kept helping him, and sent message to me on other Wikias. I blocked him too. Then I made this thread to discuss that they were sockpuppets or not.

12th September, 2013. We discovered other Nathania's sockpuppets. I blocked them forever.

14th September, 2013. Wintermelon had a new idea. We would vote for a "Featured User" every month. Many people supported it and voted for me. However, the potential winner (me) and few people opposed.

17th September, 2013. I won. PvZBeast said congrats to me and added the "Featured User Box" into Main Page. Well, it should be done by me.

After changed:

Hello everyone, I am the ranked 1 user and I have most edits on the Plants vs. Zombies Wiki. I joined this wiki about one year ago, I like to keep helping the wiki. On the articles, you can see zombie appearances, history sections, list pages, level tables. Almost all of them are written by me. If you ask me why did I do them, because I feel satisfied by doing those jobs. If you have any questions, you can ask me then I will try my best to help you. Last words, you can take a look of this page.

23rd September, 2013. Mile made a thread to demote Wintermelon. Mile misunderstood Wintermelon who blocked Milestailsprowerfansonic12 for saying he's sockpuppet without any proof. Finally, we discovered that user was Nathania's sockupuppet too.

October 2013

4th October, 2013. PvZBeast started to nominate October Featured User. Finally Hawk won.

12th October, 2013. Nathania again... His name was Cool Fire Dragon this time.

I'm different from her I'm older than her I'm 21 she's 10 ok - Cool Fire Dragon

WAIT.... How do you know Natheania's age? - MignightHawk

30th October, 2013. I created a thread to vote for the November Featured User. Finally PMan won.

WOW, this month is really short.

November 2013

3rd November, 2013. I noticed this blog. His challenges were quite challenging. I only finished 4/10. You can take a look of it.

10th November, 2013. Hawk told us that he would leave.

11th November, 2013. Cannon7 asked us how to complete Beghouled Twist. Well... we all thought this mini-game was easy.

I hate this mini-game. I don't use my brain and keep clicking everywhere to complete it. - me, Someone456

Me too. - Lawn Defender

Same - Wintermelon43

12th November, 2013. Crazyzombie suggested to color the zombies links. Finally we did.

18th November, 2013. Added Piñata Party to most zombies' Appearances section.

24th November, 2013. Drek created an interesting blog. He taught us to modify our number of edits. I created this. I only had about 3 edits. :P

28th November, 2013. Wintermelon suggested to use comments instead of talk pages again. Only Mile, me and few users opposed. I remembered there's a rule. Discussions are about changing our wiki style. They can only be done by admins. But Wintermelon and most people opposed this. This time, comments won.

30th November, 2013. PvZBeast created a thread to vote for the December Featured User. I couldn't decide Mile or Starfruity. Finally Starfruity won.

December 2013

1st December, 2013. Lawn Defender requested to be rollback. I remembered he had requested few times (maybe).

5th December, 2013. He was promoted.

8th December, 2013. The only message I received in this month. Lawn Defender told me that he couldn't preform rollback work. He doubted he's promoted or not. I checked, oops, A plant changed his link color but forgot to promote him.

12th December, 2013. Talk page or Message Wall discussion again. Fortunately, talk page won. It's easier to find old message, we can use archive for talk page too.

14th December, 2013. Wintermelon didn't like the "staff only rule". He wanted to remove it because it prevented many users to vote. PvZBeast has a really good idea. He suggested to weight the votes. It can let everyone who has at least 25 mainspaces edits to vote. Later, this rule was little modified, now it is:

Major changes, such as changing the Wiki theme or policies, each B-crat and Admin vote gets three points, each Chat Mod and Rollback gets two points, everyone with at least 25 edits gets one point. - Plants vs. Zombies Wiki:Rules

30th December, 2013. JemCel03 joined this wiki.

January 2014

1st January, 2014. First day of 2014. First edit of this year.

8th January, 2014. Starfruity nominated the Featured User in this month. Wintermelon got it.

Short month again, maybe I forget something important which isn't in my contribution list.

February 2014

2nd February, 2014. DeathZombi was spamming by adding categories "Plants that start with "X"". I undid his edits (and I dunno why I didn't give him a block, maybe he had other contributions). After that, he apologized to me. He showed his regret and I understood that he's in good faith. He is a staff member now.

4th February, 2014. Featured User again, I voted for Mile and he won.

8th February, 2014. I received a message stop deleting, without a signature, of course. A user called Bloomerang53249 (called Kirby's Air Raid now) did it because I undid his edits. He vandalized and finally I gave him a month block.

12th February, 2014. The Wikia staff who edited our main page in August. He told me that he wanted to help organize the main page. Then I told him that we should make vote about the changes on the wiki.

Wintermelon complained that MVZMW was bullying Princess Kitty again. There were few people who didn't want him to be blocked.

I suggested to block him forever because of many reasons (check my previous history page if you don't know).

Support wins, we needed to decide his blocking period then.

13th February, 2014. I created this thread to judge his fate.

He's done it way too much for a short block to cover it. However, I don't really think a block over a few months (even a year) are long enough. Try indefinite. - MignightHawk

16th February, 2014. I made my sixth talk archive.

17th February, 2014. I promoted Ron to rollback, an old and good user. But he's inactive now and demoted.

18th February, 2014. Vote ended. MVZMW was blocked for 1 year by me. You can say it's the temporally end of our conflicts (no one knows what will happen when his block is over).

23rd February, 2014. Finally I had done it...finally I had done it... My 2013-2014 history page was created! As I mentioned in the first paragraph, I wanted to create it in Sep but my school is busy.

PvZBeast was still my fan! :)

25th February, 2014. The two main page templates were created by TheBlueRogue. Awesome!

The most important thing was... Plants vs. Zombies: Garden Warfare was released! We were extremely busy with the new pages.

March 2014

2nd March, 2014. March Featured User. Minh got it.

10th March, 2014. In these days, I was watching PvZGW videos. I like Garden Ops the most, probably because it's like the original tower defense. I summarized all the things in it and put those info to the page.

13th March, 2014. WinterMagnet met the admin requirements, so he requested. I didn't know why all people (except me, Starfruity and Sun Flowers are the best!) supported him. His edits and attitude were bad. I couldn't accept him to become an admin. However, he won.

Sorry about the puncutation and space thingy :/. - WinterMagnet

As you said, you still forget spacing. Also, you usually forget to italicize and capitalize. How can an admin make these mistakes? - me, Someone456

WASN'T I PROMOTED WHEN I HAD EXTREMELY TERRIBLE GRAMMAR TO THE POINT WHERE MVZMW WOULD BULLY ME? - Wintermelon43

So I need to prevent more. - me, Someone456

16th March, 2014. I promoted Coffee Cup to rollback, an inactive admin now.

17th March, 2014. The original b-crat color was sharper then current. Just for your information.

23rd March, 2014. EMPeach asked me to help him make his Wordbubble.

Also, I started to do the PvZGW project about plants and zombies, include their infoboxes, game descriptions, variants, primary weapons, abilities.

24th March, 2014. Each class in PvZGW has three new abilities after the release of Garden Variety DLC. I found it difficult whether to merge them with the old ones. Because most of the new abilities were very similar to their old ones, but there're some exception such as Heal Flower and Dark Flower.

Finally they're split.

25th March, 2014. On this day, I promoted DeathZombi and IMCR8Z to rollback, Coffee to chat mod and Mile to b-crat! This was the first time which I promoted many users on a day.

29th March, 2014. I started to nominate April Featured User. PvZBeast got it.

30th March, 2014. The PvZ Wiki reached 888 pages! In Chinese, 8 means rich.

April 2014

1st April, 2014. The April Fools' Day. I didn't do any edit on this day. Maybe I had so much homework.

2nd April, 2014. OH NOOOOO! People were vandalizing everywhere, including our main page!! I gave punishment to all users who vandalized.

Moon Snail, WinterMagnet and Wintermelon43 were temporarily demoted by me. Of course, the latter two ones complained.

If it is from that hacker, promote me on a backup account - Wintermelon43

Hacker? By the grammar in your summaries, I think that the edits were made by you. - me, Someone456

Oh okay, phew. Well, I never did any of the actual vandalism, and I was never told it wasn't allowed either.

You undid the good edits, this means you support the April Fools vandalism. I don't think that we need to be told that we couldn't vandal the pages yesterday, it's common sense. PvZ Wiki is an informational wiki. Have you guys thought about the readers? If they want to know the info immediately, they can't do that due to the vandalism. Do you think all the readers know the "History" function? The consequences are very serious. You guys deserve a punishment.

He then made this, and highlighted it.

It doesn't deserve a highlight. - Milesprower2

3rd April, 2014. Hawk talked with me about the demotion of Wintermelon.

4th April, 2014. A new user appeared, called Raikang. He added a lot of PvZ 2 videos, but they usually messed up the pages. I told him how to use gallery and he learnt it. Good!

8th April, 2014. I got 10000 mainspace edits and was the first one to achieve it!

9th April, 2014. The Challenge of the Day was created!

15th April, 2014. Wintermelon requested to be a b-crat. Of course, lots of his friends voted yes. But the admins mainly opposed.

You're a great admin, but I don't think you're quite ready for bureaucrat-ness. Like what Pman said, you're not entirely trustworthy all the time. - Starfruity

You made many contributions. However, you vandalized on Lalaloopsy wiki few weeks ago. I think a b-crat needs to have a better conduct and moral. - me, Someone456

His request failed.

17th April, 2014. Armor Chomper was created by Rushil5. I helped improve it. Then he said thanks to me. I thought: a new helper? Good.

18th April, 2014. Rushil5 vandalized several pages, he removed all the content of the pages. What the heck happened to him? This guy was blocked by Wintermelon forever.

The PvZ Wiki reached 1000 videos!

24th April, 2014. I promoted JemCel to rollback, who is a good b-crat now.

I am very grateful that I have been promoted as a Rollback of this wiki by the most active Bureaucrat, and is ranked 1 on our leaderboards, Someone456. Thank you as well for giving me an opportunity to bestow the powers and its limitations. - JemCel03

May 2014

1st May, 2014. NapalmRosalina (called Slytherin Potter now) joined this wiki.

2nd May, 2014. PvZBeast left the wiki. ;(

5th May, 2014. I made my seventh talk archive.

8th May, 2014. ZombieNinja723 (called AWPXML now) joined this wiki.

12th May, 2014. Plants vs. Zombies Wiki 5th Anniversary!

16th May, 2014. NR discovered we both live in Hong Kong. A Hong Konger? Oh, OK, not bad. He wanted me to receive his FB friend request, but I refused.

27th May, 2014. DeathZombi sent a message to me.

HOLY CRAP!!! You are so close to 10,000 sun! CONGRATS! Even if you retire for the next 5 years (you won't :P) None of us can even catch up to you in terms of effort and sun! Take that as a compliment! You are one of, if not, the most impressive user in the history of this wiki! - DeathZombi

Oops, I didn't notice that I was close to 10000 sun.

Work hard and you will become a great user too! - me, Someone456

June 2014

8th June, 2014. PMan left. :(

13th June, 2014. 10000 sun earned!

20th June, 2014. A category talk! Sounds weird?

There's a user called LKwintermelon, she put her drawings to mainspace. Sorry, it's not allowed.

22nd June, 2014. Finally, someone asked to demote WinterMagnet. He was being extremely rude and saying foul language. Before the vote ended, I demoted him. That's what I wanted.

When he was requesting to be admin, almost everyone supported and they didn't listen to what I said! He didn't deserve it and would abuse his power. My prediction is always correct.

23rd June, 2014. Because of the case of WinterMagnet. Hawk added new requirements.

25th June, 2014. This wiki reached 1000 pages!

26th June, 2014. Why? I'm Strange, That's why! - UnrealDeal

Frozen Dave (called UnrealDeal now) was a special spammer who signed in all of his edits. The above nonsense was his pet phrase. Finally he was blocked by me.

29th June, 2014. JemCel was promoted to admin by me.

July 2014

1st July, 2014. 3primetime3 joined this wiki. He made a lot of templates including voting and stance templates. And I didn't notice that.

2nd July, 2014. Issue continues.

A new user called Right Charlie who sent a message called "Dave's Mistake" to different staff members, including Wintermelon, Jack, Mile and me. In this message he requested us to unblock Frozen Dave. Of course no one did it and I discussed with Mile about this might be a sockpuppet. But he didn't get blocked.

Template:Infobox level was created by 3primetime3. This meant a new evolution was coming.

3rd July 2014. An evolution of the Plants vs. Zombies Wiki.

3primetime3 suggested to create Adventure Mode and PvZ 2 levels. Finally someone did it. In his blog, it showed the structure of the level page and looked very comprehensive! His idea was supported by almost all users.

Then we started to do it. But many users' edits did not meet the editing style of the wiki. I had to fix them. 3primetime3 and me were very busy.

I hope you like how the pages look so far! And thanks for helping me. It wouldn't be possible without your help. - 3primetime3

Also, I was having minor arguments with Wintermelon, he thought the PvZA levels should be created too. We opposed because the levels were similar, repeating and lack of strategies.

5th July, 2014. Ninja Penguins (called Bearjedi now) made his first appearance in my history. He asked me why did I delete the Ice Age page. Because it was never announced by PopCap. We couldn't reveal any information which wasn't publicly released.

8th July, 2014. DeathZombi watches porn.

No I don't watch porn. - DeathZombi

(The section header is I watch porn)

He reported to me that there's a user named I watch porn and he was adding inappropriate content. I blocked him immediately.

It's near two years, finally there's a user whose faith of editing was comparable with me.

Uselessguy joined this wiki.

9th July, 2014. I met Uselessguy.

(Don't feel angry :P) When I first saw his name. My first impression is: useless? Is he a spammer?

10th July, 2014. Uselessguy sent his first message to me. He told me that Category:Player's House encountered zombies is missing Gargantuar and Imp.

But he put it in a wrong position.

14th July, 2014. It's confirmed that PvZA would be closed on 12/10/2014. No one was happy.

15th July, 2014. People were adding Retired Plants category. I undid all of them. Wintermelon complained. I told him that because this category was almost same as PvZA plants category. I was thinking to make a category to include all retired things.

Category:Archived was created after PvZA was closed.

16th July, 2014. Uselessguy created this thread for him to ask questions before making edits. I answered his questions. His edits were improving and he started to be familiar with the rules. So I call him Usefulguy instead.

17th July, 2014. Usefulguy added Power Tile row into the level infobox. He and 3primetime3 added it to all pages. I had to undo all of them because power tiles are only available in Far Future.

I made my eighth talk archive.

19th July, 2014. First message received from ZN723:

Happy early birthday. Here's your cake. Your present is an 100% discount for power-ups and Plant Food that lasts for 3 weeks. - ZombieNinja723

My birthday was close. :P

Another present. 19,193 zombies (equal to the number of edits you made), 10,730 Gargantuars (equal to the amount of sun you have), and 157 Giga-gargantuars (equal to the amount of badges you have) about to eat your brains.

This isn't a present! Very dangerous! :O - me, Someone456

21st July, 2014. Starfruity had a new idea. Gallery template, we're using it.

22nd July, 2014. Usefulguy was making plants and zombies gallery pages. He misunderstood that we're going to make all of them. But no, 25 images are required for a gallery page.

25th July, 2014. Wintermelon created this thread to let other users request page protection. Recently, NR and ZN723 were having undo wars about the Plant Food damage. I guess their relationship started to become worse because of this.

How about other users who want to edit this page? - me, Someone456

28th July, 2014. We agreed this blog. But no one knew how to do it. So I gave 3primetime3 temporary admin right. He then demoted himself and told us the changes.

Minh requested me to help him translate some content in Chinese version of PvZ 2. Then I helped him in these few weeks.

29th July, 2014. Oops! There's a problem after 3primetime3's change (see this). I discussed with him.

30th July, 2014. Yeah I did it! The problem was fixed.

I made my ninth talk archive. Just two weeks...

31st July, 2014. NR asked me about promotions, I told him that he met the admin requirements on the next day!

Usefulguy and me were changing "Levels with "digit" flags" categories to "Levels with "Eng word" flags". Our friendship had enhanced more.

August 2014

1st August, 2014. 20000 edits achieved! A lot of users congratulated me and I said thanks for many times.

Let me guess... thanks? - Brainulator9

Multiple promotions by me again, Cyborg Ranger, Reapeageddon, GardenmasterXX (called Dekagamer7X9 now) to rollback and Crazyzombie168 to chat mod.

Demotion existed too. I deprived Blooding's (Wintermelon's alternative account, I didn't know then) chat mod right. Actually, Wintermelon promoted this account several times and I demoted it several times too.

3rd August, 2014. NR requested to remove the Lucky Blover badge because he thought this was completely luck-based.

Well, there's a way to remove Lucky Blover.

Remove all badges. - me. Someone456

Wntermelon had an idea, he wanted to create a page to put all users' birthday to it. What the? It's not related to the wiki. He should put it in his page instead. However, this stupid idea caused some conflicts. SirBardock (called LeotheFox now) voted and I removed his because he didn't have 25 edits. He complained. But sorry, this was the most important discussion rule on this wiki (see my previous history page for reasons). He ignored it several times and got blocked by me.

6th August, 2014. NR told us that Featured User had been stopped for a long time and he wanted to restored it. Now more users wanted to remove it.

I've tried every month, but no one is really into it. I just removed it from the main page because at this point no one really cares anymore. - Starfruity

Finally Featured User ended.

Wintermelon started to make and highlight threads to express his anger and upset on the wiki.

8th August, 2014. Sign of staff reboot.

10th August, 2014. I removed many spam categories which had been survived on this wiki for years.

ZN723 asked me to demote NR. He then made this. But NR wasn't demoted.

I told Panlonglol not to add the categories such as "Brain Buster levels, Save Our Seeds levels". Because they are same as the normal ones (without "levels"). He was a good user so I didn't want him to commit this minor mistake.

I asked BUL9 about his edit. He then told me an editing technique and asked me that whether he should request a b-crat.

He created this thread. NR voted oppose.

Compare to Someone456 which is a bureaucrat, your mainspace edit counts are WAY to little. If you have half of the amount that Someone456 have, I may consider a yes... but I will say no for now. - NapalmRosalina

Someone has more mainspace edits than ANY other user on this Wiki, and more total edits. Comparing Brainy's edits to Someone and saying he doesn't have enough is not a good reason to say no. - Milesprower2

That means all other b-crats will be demoted. - me, Someone456

11th August, 2014. I made my tenth talk archive.

Usefulguy and me were adding "Game", "Location" and "Plants" rows to the level infobox. Finally we updated the pages, I started to use this infobox in other PvZ 1 pages.

I asked him to be a staff member, but he refused.

About my help, it was just a pleasure. - Uselessguy

12th August, 2014. Evil Potions (it's a conjectural name) was renamed to Dark Alchemy, but I didn't believe it so I renamed it again. Then, Starfruity showed me the evidence.

13th August, 2014. NP created different GW DLC pages, good. I helped organize them.

We agreed to update the promotion rules. And I gave permission to ZN723 to make the voting thread. There're 20 questions, and the major changes rule APPLIED there! I found it hard and painful to count the votes! :O

I used Useful to describe Usefulguy when counting.

@Off-topic: That "Useful" nickname is me, right? - Uselessguy

Yes. :) - me, Someone456

Well, finally I continued to write this history page. I finished the 2013 part (4 months in a row!). I failed to finish it before my second anniversary. Sad but true.

This page was finished on 1/4/2015.


My second year ended. My school life was wonderful in this year but not the wiki, it wasn't so impressive to me compared with the first year. But, the wiki started to be active again in the summer holiday, because of those two users.

Thanks for reading.
