Are you on other wikis?

You are filled with determination. (R/GD/TT)
What the title says. Do you have a second home outside of the Mario Wiki? I'm a bureaucrat on the Dead Island Wikia and the Scribblenauts Wikia.
 
I've had an account on the Metroid Wiki for around a year now, and am a rollback there (it's basically autopatrol except with patrolmarks and the rollback button). I also have a Zelda Wiki account I created and did virtually nothing with and haven't touched in months.
 
I have contributed to several unique Wikis. I have accounts on Wikipedia, TV Tropes, Wikia, and Wikidot.
 
MetroidWiki, though I'm not as active as I would like to be, and ZeldaWiki, where I've done next to nothing.
 
Mario Wiki
MFGG Wiki
Userpedia
MLP Wikia

I'm not active at the MLP Wikia anymore because I need to find out what it meant when someone (while reverting an edit of mine) said I used the "passive voice too much." (Paraphrasing there, kinda; what exactly they did say, I don't remember.) Clear understanding of the meaning of that, I lack.
 
MLP Wikia
Wikirby
Userpedia
Bulbapedia
Transformice Wiki
Smash Wiki
Strategy Wiki
Total Drama Wikia
some other wikias maybe

with the exception of Userpedia I haven't really done anything on any of these.

Do you lack an understanding of the passive voice or an understanding of that comment in relation to your edits?
 
Both, but mostly a understanding of the passive voice is what I lack. I found an English teacher and asked her, and still unclear on the subject, I tried doing a Google search. (Linking to the article would kind of embarrass me.)

It seems like an example of a normal sentence and a passive voice version of a sentence is what I'd need.
 
Ah.

A boy was found in the park by Charles. - Passive Voice

Charles found a boy in the park. - Active Voice

Passive voice refers to making the object of a sentence its subject, while active voice has the standard subject-object arrangement. The passive voice will always have a form of "to be" followed by the past participle, such as in the first example, while the active voice will usually just have the action verb.
 
Makes sense I guess. Sorry to derail the wiki thread, guys.

EDIT: Now I feel stupid for not understanding the Google results and English teacher.
