 Ahoy, ahoy, and welcome to the channel. Today we're going to do something a little different than normal. A top 10 list of the most prolific SCP authors on the SCP Wiki. Let's get started. Now our number 10 slot is taken up by a user called Communism Will Win, and he is, I think, unless I am mistaken, the only user on the top 10 list who is actually banned from the SCP Wiki currently. I say currently because permanent bans are appealable, though this one doesn't really seem like it's ever going to be appealed successfully. Communism Will Win is probably better known as Scantron. He changed his name sometime in the last couple of years, maybe a few years. Actually it had to be a few years because he's been banned for almost a year and a half at this point. He changed his name sometime in the last few years to Communism Will Win. I believe he was a political statement. It's not ironic from what I know of the feller. He is an individual who suffers fools lightly, we'll say, and because of that has gotten in trouble numerous times with SCP staff. The thing you gotta understand about SCP staff is they will put up with the most outrageous of behaviors for a very long time if they like you or if you're useful, but the moment they don't need you or they don't like you anymore because of something you've done, those behaviors become less acceptable. And so Scantron, well he was a jerk for a very long time and then he left staff and got banned and then he appealed his ban and then he came back, posted for a while, I think maybe year, year and a half, and then he was a jerk too often and got himself banned again permanently. You can look right here, I'm gonna just put up an image on the screen, you can see his, we'll call it his upvote total as it increases over time. His most popular article was written in 2012 and it is The Procrastination Rock and it is, as of this posting anyway, the third most popular article on the SCP wiki. There's a couple of other articles you may recognize of his, SCP 2602 which used to be a library and bees, which is the source of so many memes. He also wrote the Yellowstone Anomaly, the Telekill Alloy, he's behind obviously Scantron's proposal. There's a few, there's a few things on here that you might recognize, but the important thing to recall about this particular user is there's likely that he's going to fall off the top 10 sometime soon. There's people nipping at his heels, I'm sure. Let's see who's coming up next. We'll give us, we'll go through a couple honorable mentions before we move on here. Yeah, Uncle Nickelini is very active, Dr. Shander's been banned, Zinn is off and on, hot and cold, Famine Pulse is left, so yeah. Our top 15 is either, really it's just Nickelini or Zinn and I would put my money on Nickelini if I had money to bet. So yeah, that. We'll move on from Communism will win to one of the most important founders of the SCP Wiki, not necessarily a founder-founder, but someone who was incredibly influential for a very long time early on on the site and that is Alana. Now I will say Alana's first post goes back to 2008, early, early, early. So yeah, I would consider her to be one of the initial founders of the site actually. Yep. However, her time on the site ended in 2014, very shortly after I actually started posting on the Wiki. I actually know Alana or knew Alana before she was part of the SCP Wiki back in the early 2000s because she created and ran a web browser game called TDZK, which is not really super important, but the person I remember from early 2000s and the person I encountered in 2012-2014, because I actually joined the Wiki in 2012, were wildly different people. Alana is another person who was incredibly harsh and in 2014, when the SCP Wiki was finally starting to move away from that kind of harshness, she left the site, somewhat permanently actually. The most popular thing that she's written is SCP-895, the camera disruption, which is, it's from a containment breach. It's the coffin that if you have, if you look at it on a video feed, it can cause you to have a heart attack and worse. Alana's article total is 115 and you will find, let me see here real quick, that she is, well, she's got other articles that are highly rated. There's the observable time loop, which I believe is the one with these scientists. Yeah, it's the one with, I'm pretty sure it's the one with the scientists that are killed over and over again. Yep, that is it. Yep, that's one of her most calm, yep, and then she's got her own proposal. Everyone here has a fucking proposal except for, you'll see in a second. Alana was one of the drivers of the early Project Foundation, which is something that the SCP Wiki has been trying to do for years and probably never actually accomplished, but it's the idea that the SCP Wiki can be hosted on its own independent website and not wiki. They've been trying it for literally almost a decade now. It's been a concept for almost 10 years straight and at no point has it even come close to being a possibility. So every time you hear anyone say, well, Project Foundation is right around the corner. Remember that they've been saying that for 10 years straight. So I'm just saying. Anyway, Alana left the site. She was behind the, Alana, oh, this is important. Alana is actually behind the theme of the site, the main theme of the site. So that's a little tidbit sort of important. I don't know how much work altogether she did on it, but she's the one who's got her name signed to it. So, and now we're going to move on to number eight. Number eight is this guy, me. I have all, as well as Alana, technically I've got one more article in here that's not showing. And at this, the way the system works, if you're tied, it'll actually just randomly move you back and forth. At the current time of showing me is number eight, but I have an article that puts me at 116, not 115. For some reason, one of my translated pieces that, or one of the pieces that I helped translate and move to the Wiki, is sometimes credited to me and sometimes not. And in this particular iteration of the list, it's not being credited to me, but in other iterations of this exact same list it is. So I don't know. I consider myself to have 116 articles, which puts me one above a lot anyway, regardless. It may surprise, I don't talk about it a lot. I do talk about myself being an author on the SCP Wiki, but it may surprise you to know that I am the eighth most prolific author on the SCP Wiki. And the one on this list that I know the most about. One thing I'll tell you, if you look at my chart here, you'll see that there's a lot of posting after, let's say in the early part of 2017, or no I'm sorry, the early part of 2018. And then from then on for the last two years, it's just been almost constant posting. But before that, there's a lot of gaps. And there's a good, good reason for that. And if you look behind the gaps, there's another period early on where I posted tons of articles in a row. This big area here where there's just a sparse collection of articles. And in fact, there's a, let's see, this one is, yeah, there's a whole six-month period where I didn't post anything. It wasn't because I was banned, but simply because I was working as SCP staff at the time. And boy howdy was I unaware. I didn't think about it until afterwards. I got suspended in the early parts of 2018. And the amount of free time I found myself having was so amazing. I just, I think I spent two weeks on suspension and then was like, I'm done. I can do without being staffed. That's fine. I'm here to write for the SCP wiki, not to do work for other people, for no pay. So my most popular articles, I have unlike most people on this list, I don't have a uber popular article. I do have a fuck off Carl, which is at plus 555. Well, this isn't exactly correct. This is actually, discounts a lot of upvotes. I think anyone who has a deleted account, a couple of people. But I have, you know, I've got some decent stuff. I've got the SCP RPG, which is approaching 500. The Sumerian cactus joke proposal, 431. How I got to Memphis at 402. Everything below that's 300, 200. There's a bunch of 200s, actually. Let's just look at the whole, well, I can't look at the whole list because it only shows 100. I have a lot of articles on here. That's always been kind of my thing is just to keep posting articles. If you keep posting articles, you're bound to get hits every once in a while. And I don't know, I have to, if you, if you count, it's like a successful article is plus 70 or more, which is generally, for most new authors, a pretty good dividing line. Over half of my articles are above plus 70. It's actually more than that. But so my time on the wiki has actually been, that's the best way to put it, fraught with mischief and a little bit more drama than I would like. But sometimes you can't get away from it. I don't want to be one of those people who's like, I hate drama because everyone hates drama. Even the people who love drama. But always seems to find me anyway. So maybe it's just, maybe it's me anyway. I have a policy generally, well, since I left staff, I have a policy generally of at least two articles every month. This month I'm actually behind, but I'm working on something. If you can, you actually see a little bit of a gap there, but generally, I consider it for month to month. So there's been a couple of times where it's like, I might post on the first and the second, and then I might not post until the 31st of the next month. So there technically is like 50 or almost 60 days between the two postings, but still you do two per month. That's just the way I try to, if I get to the end of the month and I know I don't have something up, I post something. I try to write size, sit down, force myself to write something and post it to the wiki. A lot of people will tell you my stuff has declined in quality over the years, but I think that's bullshit. I think, well, I think it's bullshit anyway. I think I can move on though. You know about me. I'll talk about the next person on the list who has rocketed it up to the top. Well, not up to the top, up to number seven. Yeah, number seven. And that is Tanhoni. Tanhoni is the author of the new SCP-5000. So that is actually, they're currently their most popular article at 1315. Second most popular article, something you may recognize is the Bobble the Clown. Then you've got a hole to another place, Tanhoni's proposal, a couple other articles as well. You have no idea how alone you are Garfield. I've seen means of that. I've heard of it, but I don't think I've ever actually read it. But yeah, he's an author of quite a few iconic SCPs, which is the big difference between me on this list and most of the other people you're going to see. Almost every one of these other article authors is the author of something that's iconic. And while like, fuck off Carl is very popular and maybe borderline iconic at this point. It's iconic amongst my community, especially on my Discord. I wouldn't really consider it like an iconic SCP, and that's my most popular article. So it's always been a thing that I've been something I've been seeking out for a long time. This isn't about me anymore. It's about Tanhoni. Tanhoni has a posting habit that is infuriating. So I would guarantee at a future point, I will pass him. And then at some future point, he will pass me because Tanhoni will, as you can see here, his path is super weird. Starting in late 2018, he started having what are essentially active phases where he would post, and then he would post like 30 things one a day, and then he would just stop for months, and then he would come back and he would do it again. So while I do, I'm just trucking along two of the two articles at a time, we've been competing back and forth for a while. And right now he's five articles ahead, but I think could be wrong just saying this out loud, maybe changing that, but I think he's at the end of his cycle. So I've got some time to catch up, and catching up to five articles is only three months worth of work, and technically two more because I still have one article to do for this month. And it's almost over, so really it's only about two more months worth of work, which none of it matters. But you know what, meaningless statistics matter to me a little bit. Please like and subscribe. Anyway, Tanhoni is a good guy. I've talked to him a few times. I mean, I don't know him super well, but what I've encountered, what I've interacted with him, he seems like a decent sort. And as far as I know, hasn't gotten in trouble with staff at all, which makes him different than everyone else so far, let me see. Scantron banned, Alana constantly in trouble over her harshness and eventually left, probably at the point where she was close to being banned, anyway. I've been censured by staff, suspended by staff, prevented from joining contests by staff. Yeah, Tanhoni is the first one on this list who hasn't gotten in trouble with staff. That's fantastic. And in fact, the only one I'm going to do today, because I only really have time for one more, the next person has been in trouble with staff. The only person so far on today's list who hasn't gotten in trouble with staff. Maybe it's his long periods of inactivity that have avoided this problem because, well, no, most people I think in the five to one category haven't really been in too much trouble with staff. Well, anyway, let's move on to the last one before we run out of time here. Dijork or Jork. It's really hard for me to know exactly how this should be pronounced since it's just sort of a made up word. We'll go with Jork. I think I've always pronounced it Dijork, but now that I'm saying it out loud to like a camera, I'm thinking it's just Jork. Anyway, Jork has, well, that's the best way to put this, man. Jork is not as harsh a critic as he's made out to be. But every once in a while, maybe when he's mad, maybe I don't know what the what causes it. But every once in a while, he just goes off on someone new who doesn't know any better in a way that makes it very unlikely that that person will want to stay on the site. And that usually gets him in a lot of trouble. He has gotten in trouble with staff numerous times. I believe he has independently left the site without being banned. But I could be wrong about that. Jork's most popular works are 1860. He doesn't have any like super popular stuff, but he does have, oh, oh, I'm missing this one. He does have an iconic piece, Lord Blackwood. I forgot about this one. It was called 1867, A Gentleman, but I actually forgot that this is actually incredibly popular. And then we've got 10 30 am. I believe it's a shark punching center thing. Okay. So we've got Lord Blackwood and a shark punching center article at 890 and 708. Those are his two most popular. And I would consider Lord Blackwood to be an iconic SCP most if not maybe not most offsite people, but I definitely would think most on site people are aware, at least aware of Lord Blackwood. The slug that it believes it's a 1800s explorer. I've spent a really long time since I read that article. Unfortunately, though, Jork hasn't posted an article since mid 2018. And it doesn't seem likely that he'll come back the way he has in the past come back. So he is either he's inactive from the site. And one thing you're going to learn as we go to the rest of the top five in the next video, because this is already incredibly long. But when we get to five through one, you're going to learn that at least two of those are also either inactive or just so sporadically active that the likelihood is they're going to get passed as well. That's where most of these people on this list are going to fall. You've got Communism will win, Alana and Jorick who are just not posting anymore. But you've got me and Tanhoni fighting back and forth for, you know, slots. And as we fight back and forth for slots, we're moving up the list past these people. So certainly how that goes. I actually thought, again, honorable mention to Dr. Chandra. I thought Dr. Chandra was going to beat me out. But unfortunately, they have not been able to get there because they got themselves banned from the Wiki for was it a plagiarism thing? I think it was plagiarism. Don't quote me on that. I would. Oh, I do remember it was a plagiarism charge, but it was a bit more complicated than that. That's a whole video in and of itself. It's complicated. Definitely. Important thing to remember here, though, let's talk about the averages of these five people and you'll you'll see something very important about the guy who doesn't have an iconic SCP. So if we rank these five people by their averages, you will find me at the bottom. In fact, I believe by average, which I don't really care too much for because like it's pretty easy to get a shitty article to plus 1000. I'm sorry, especially if it's super old. A lot of these people are super old users. But if you go by rankings of just rating on the SCP Wiki, I'm a number 15 rather than number eight. Because my average is 105.6. And my average, my total rating is 12,000. Looks like Jorick. Yeah, Jorick would be next, even though he's sixth because his rating average is 133. I don't put too much stock in total up. A lot of people do, especially the people who are ahead because of it. So like I look at articles and I consider, you know, the top 10 authors by most article count. But that's easy for me to do because that puts me in the top 10. If we looked at it by total votes, I'm like 15th, I think, and other people would be moved up into the list. So of course, other people put way more stock in total upvotes. And in fact, I think our highest rated author would be Cactus probably. Yeah. Of course, I chalk a lot of that up just by not having a truly iconic SCP article, but I'm going to get there one day. It's only a matter of time. I can't, all I gotta do is keep posting articles. Eventually one of them is going to hit. This is how it works. Anyway, thank you very much for watching. If you enjoyed the video and that loud ass vehicle outside, you can scroll down, hit the subscribe button, and then the notification bell next to that so you'll be notified when I upload new videos. Then take a look at the scroll through the products that we have on sale, we that I have on sale on Teespring. They are high quality. I'm wearing the you're wrong about this hoodie hoodie. We've got the you're wrong about this poster poster. Somebody was asking about this poster. I really need to get a new design and replace it because this is just something I picked up at Walmart. Anyway, maybe I should make something like this, but for me, there might be a good idea. I actually was thinking about something like a warning, like a safety warning, or a, you know, see something say something sort of style poster, but SCP themed. Anyway, after you've done that, check out the products. Like I said, and then head on over to patreon.com forward slash D Sumerian and pledge at any level like everybody here on the screen already has and join. Let's double check our peoples here.
