User blog comment:Rosemaria/The Bear and the Maiden Fair plot summary/@comment-5014364-20130517135312

I'll answer this:  normally I singlehandedly write the entire episode summary within a day of it airing.

Note that there were some complaints that I didn't entirely finish the summary for "Kissed by Fire" (the Dragonstone bits) ....no one else filled them in for 2 weeks, it only got written when I got around to it later.

​​I have been very busy working on my thesis (I'm a medieval history grad student) and have been too pressed for time to write up full summaries for "The Climb" or "The Bear and the Maiden Fair".

Moreover, starting Sunday I am traveling to Britain for nine days, and will thus miss episode 8 "Second Sons" as well. Thankfully, the show is taking a break the week of memorial day, so I won't miss too much. Nonetheless, I didn't realize that the wiki was this dependent on me, and the other admins. Every time a new episode airs I've noticed a flurry of minor edits which update character appearances...just checking off "Jon Snow appeared in episode 5, "yes"" -- which are very distracting when we're trying to wrangle all of this new information. Well, I shouldn't complain because it needs to be done and helps.

In any case, this only proves my utilitarian perspective:

Yes, under a dozen people actually "write" this wiki. If the seven current administrators locked the wiki from new registration and banned all current non-admins, we could still functionally keep this wiki running with little drop in quality. I do think we should have open registration...as a "tryout" for people who want to be regular editors. Most of the time, in Season 2, we had dozens of people joining just to edit the "Dragons" page and then leaving.

(sigh) sorry for posting while angry, I'm annoyed I'm so busy I can't contribute more right now.
