Eulalia459678 Admin Status on Warriors Wiki
I would like to request that you rescind the Sysop status that was granted to Eulalia459678 on Warriors Wiki

This user, while participating actively, has basically put into a place a 'no editing my edits' rule, and has said as much to Myself (for removing fangirling, rumors, unverifiable info, and spoilers from the news section they said "Each time you change one of my edits, I will just revert it.") and Hobbes15 ("I am glad you want to help update, but please, don't mess with mine without asking, okay?" as a comment on Hobbes' talk page).

This is not an acceptable approach to a Wiki environment. It hampers the efforts of others and damages the community feel. I know I'm guilty of enforcing rules and standards and working towards a consistent Warriors Wiki... But is it really acceptable for a person to take over, lay claim to things! While it's one thing for me to change things others have done, to remove spoilers and the like, it's quite another for a person to say any part of the Warriors Wiki is "mine" and that no one else has any right to edit what they've edited!

Please remove this tyrant from our midst! Warriors Wiki was a happy place full of people who (while busy) were working towards a quality reference. Not on a single person's fangirling shrine!

A few questions for Computer Wiki...
I have 2 questions for Computer Wiki: Send your answer to my Computer Wiki talk page. Thanks! Cal 02:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Can I have Recent Changes patrol activated
 * How can I find (and modify) the different skins

Perverted works on Fiction wikia
The fiction wikia currently is undergoing a major debate over what stories ("works") should remain on the site. Quite a few works are particularly controversial. this one is one such case. The work is hard literotica/porn and thus I found at least parts of it inappropriate for the web site. I deleted such sections, but User:Serprex undid the "censorship" and now it's back to a really, really perverted story. What's more, for a fiction site, not only is the particular work bad taste, but it's also heavily lacking in either literary merit or humor/creativity, which means that it's not worth much.

This is actually an example of a larger conflict that we've been having. I'll tell you right away that I'm in favor of works in which people actually spend their time and effort to make into credible, good stories and poems with merit, because I see this as the best way to attract responsible, diligent new users in the long run, which is what we need if the site is to grow. Problem is, there are far more people who put up works of bad taste (such as works in made-up languages, works in which words are written backwards, works in which there's primarily random nonsense) and claim them to be good works unworthy of deletion. As a result, every once in a while an edit war occurs, depending on what we decide should or should not be kept on the site. Most of them are resolved peacefully rather quickly, and we all do our best to posit our points of view on talk pages.

It's hard though. And I have a feeling that if the bad works on this site aren't gotten rid of, newcomers will merely take it as an indication at they too can also submit horrible content, which perpetuates the cycle. And when the actual good writers show up for the first time and see the mess, they may be discouraged. Thankfully, there aren't too many such pages that I consider worthy of deletion, but I want to get this sorted out so in the future there will be less need for controversy. And I hope you'll agree with me that the best way to make a wikia for fiction is to remove shoddy, I-spewed-this-out-in-one-minute, perverted, random/jejune, pseudo-, controversial stories in favor of nice traditional poems, short stories, and novels that can actually attract attention. I hope you'll show up on the Fiction wikia and see for yourself.

Please ban
Hi Angela could you please ban User:78.61.35.74 on the Pirates of the Caribbean Wiki, he continually creates articles consisting of one illegible sentance and refuses to properly source, tag, or categorize them. He has been warned three times now by myself and two other users but refuses to take heed, our only acive admin is away at the moment, so if you could deal with this anon it would be much appreciatead.--\\Captain KAJ// 09:29, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Can you give me an example of something he created? The deleted contributions feature isn't currently working on that wiki, so I can't tell what he's done. Angela (talk) 04:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Blocked in Starcraft Wikia
He blocked me as well due to false prosecution of SPAMMING which I did not do but blamed me for SPAM anyway. how to be Admin like him with the special blocking and unblocking rights? How to be enforcer like every admin for all Wikias?(Assaulthead 04:06, 28 October 2007 (UTC))


 * This has been explained to you very clearly and concisely by Dantman on your talk page. I cannot speak for the blocking matter, but you might like to leave a message with another Community Team staffer. As you can see at the top of the page, Angela may be sluggish responding to messages. -- Manticore  Talk 07:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Moderation Issue
Hello, Angela! I posted two issues on Catherine's talk page, but the permissions problem was never addressed, and the template issue not entirely resolved. I saw that you recently assisted the Thorium Brotherhood Wiki with a similar problem. Could you help us?

Hola Angela (Hi Angela)
(es)

Para evitar conflictos de edición con quienes no pertenecen al Mundo de la Cultura Independiente he postulado para obtener mi propia wiki con vuestro servidor.

Los detalles los puedes ver aquí.

Te agradecería discutieran con tu staff la posibilidad de darme la wikia.

De antemano, muchas gracias. -- (en) my English is bad, I'm sorry

To avoid conflicts of edition with whom they do not belong to the World of Independent Culture I have postulated to obtain my own wiki with your servant.

You can see the details here.

He would be grateful to you they were discussing with you staff the possibility of giving me the wikia.

In advance, thank you very much.

 * Zuirdj is looking into this. Angela (talk) 12:13, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

In other languages...
central pages are able to have this link to to the foreign equivelant of the page... is there a way to get it on other wikias? as in like changing the Monobook or something? cos i'm trying to set them on Residennt Evil to link to the Italian version and vica-verca. --[F] 11:55, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've just added this. It doesn't take effect immediately, so it could be a couple of days before you see it working, but when it is, you can link to the Italian version from the English one using article title and link the other way using article title .

Adminship
I tries to make a wiki on a topic, but found there already was one! Too bad it was a real mess and the founder and the admins hadn't been on for a year. It got tagged for adoption, but I have started fixing it up. However there are things only an admin can do, and I cant get promoted because they dont come on. Can you please Promote me? The wiki is The LatterDay Wiki. Please contact me on my talk page there- Mato ro183 (Ta lk) 12:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Hi, Sorry To Bother You
I was just wondering how I can gain Admin rights on the Stephen King wiki? I erased the adopted sign and have been editing it for a while, and there are currently no other active users on the wiki. I plan to put a link to the wiki on Wikipedia in the future, but I'm not sure who to talk to in order to become an admin, and was hoping you could help me. Please reply on User talk:DrakemasterDrake. Thank you.

Date formatting
Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to force the date produced via and RSS feeds of Recent Changes / Article History to be presented in numerical Asian format (YYYY/MM/DD) so that it can be easily sorted automatically. American format would be a backup second choice (still useful if all the dates are within the same year). The DD/MM/YYYY (currently used by ) and YYYY/DD/MM (currently used by )formats limits automated sorting to dates within the same month for the result to be meaningful, which I find a bit restrictive on a number of occasions. Thanks. -PanSola 23:49, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

CC-by-sa-nc request.
Hi, Angela. I'm the admin of the Yuriban Encyclopedia, and I'd like to get some information regarding putting our Wikia under a CC-by-sa-nc license, in the same fashion as Désencyclopédie. May we have this discussion on my user talk page? Thanks. --Ruriko 12:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Impartial mediator for cross-wiki issues
Angela, I don't know if it's just me noticing something that's been on for awhile, or if it's something that's been growing. But I've been starting to see the issues of users having issues with each other (ie: like the Assaulthead or Tyler Waren cases) where 2 groups or a group and a user have an issue with each other without an absolute clear case of, one is a troll and the other is the wiki community. And those end up in disorganized wars on peoples talkpages where people get blocked on one wiki and take the waring to another wiki, and the groups repeat the same issues without any progress to the issue being resolved. It looks like a lot of the staff are busy with other stuff or not on enough to deal with them all. Perhaps a mediator is needed for these types of issues. An impartial user meant to search the two sides comments separating out and finding out what valid points each side is making, and asserting statements like not harassing users outside of the discussion area about the issue. Cause these issues look like they are going nowhere without a mediating figure for them. If you want I would be happy to sort through and act as a mediator for these. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Nov 3, 2007 @ 03:03 (UTC)

Teklogs adoption help
I have decided to adopt Teklogs, in order to edit important stuff like front page news I need the fellowing pages unprotected:


 * c:tech:Teklogs:Headlines
 * c:tech:Teklogs:Buzz
 * c:tech:Teklogs:Site Press

Your help would be wonderful.  Tcrow777(Talk)  10:19, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * I have pointed out on this Forum what you must do before you can adopt this wiki..-- Cometstyles 10:38, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

I no longer need that unprotection.  Tcrow777Talk Teklogs  02:13, 4 November 2007 (UTC)

Odyssey Online wiki
Just a note for people following this issue - the wiki has been restarted to clear it from the porn and vandalism left by its previous users. I do believe there is potential for this wiki to be a useful resource for the game, but it needs to be looked after by people who will welcome newcomers and help to ensure this wiki can become a thriving community. For now, there will be no admins, and I have blocked Tyler Warren from editing due to his abuse of admin privileges and offensive behaviour towards other users. I encourage anyone interested in the game to attempt to revive this wiki with great content. Angela (talk) 11:34, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Just out of interest, have you regexblocked him? From what I can see of others comments he seems to cause trouble for a few wikis. -- Manticore  Talk 17:15, 3 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, I did, after he made this threat to vandalise. Angela (talk) 23:56, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
