This is a little scary and overwhelming, I'm not going to lie. I've been here a little less than a month, and it's my first wiki, so all this is... big. I feel we have the right ideas with staff, where our criteria is usually "they're smart and levelheaded," depite the fact this idiot is a crat :P (you know I'm joking, you do a good job). So far, we haven't had power stuggles - nor does it look like we'll have any for a while. With the last bit, I believe that as long as we at least have some sort of 'old guard' of members who know what they're doing, I feel we'll be fine. Nearly all our members participate.

But that whole 'future planning'  - now that's scary. I'd been crusing along, assuming that we're always going to be on this high, when there's potential for utter disaster. There's the odd little tiffle and scuffle now, but we could fuck this up so badly. I don't think there's anything we could do to stop it, if it happened, and if it did go downhill, what would we do? Could we weather it out? Would it break the wikia? I hope not, because we are in the wonderful lovely phase right now, and I don't want that to end.

I seem to have the same problem you have - a tendancy for wordiness and a lack of eloquence. So I'll conclude as breifly as I can, this is food for thought. I hope most members read this and that they take away what I've taken - it's up to all of us. I wish all of us the best, and hope that it turns out like that.
