Community Central:Adoption requests

Gaiapedia (Accepted)
Gaiapedia
 * Is the wiki inactive? In a way, though there has been at least 5 people editing occasionally, me included. While Admin Alyssachanpc has been inactive for 60 days, plus more. It is like she disappeared from the Net altogether.


 * Are you eligible to adopt? Yes.


 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content? I have made quite a lot of edits, I am surprised at how long they take to do, but it can be fun. I also created new pages to keep up to date. There are still, of course, more pages that need to be updated. But getting the new things out of the way is best for now.


 * Are you building the community? I did post in the Gaiapediea forum, and I answered a number of questions on the Gaiapedia Answer wikia page, also noting that some were not well answered, so I rewrote them. And I also rephrased some of the questions.


 * I've left talk messages to two Editors, and both responded positively. We are trying to coordinate getting up Character profiles. And though it doesn't happen often, I would at least like to know what I can do for security against vandalism.

Thank you for considering. Unicogirl 14:54, October 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it would be worthwhile to discuss this with Dantman -- he's been a strong admin there in the past but he works on many different wikis so he may not have seen your attempts to bring the place back to life. The wiki is active enough that I'd like to leave it to Dantman and/or other active members to decide on adminship -- can you please start a forum topic about electing new admins?  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 23:44, October 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * I did leave a comment to Dantman on October 8, 2009. But I will try the forum method and contacting him again. I did notice that he is indeed a strong Admin, as in keeping things in check, so I should learn from that. But if he is too busy with other wikis, then I would hope that I will get to adopt or have some rights, due to the other Admins being MIA. -- I noticed that his edits to Gaiapedia are spaced apart by weeks or months, I would assume this is because he works on other wikis. -- Even though we need more Editors, I would like to settle this matter before I start promoting Gaiapedia on Gaia. The Gaiapedia is active in a sense of editing, but I don't think it is active enough that people would discuss adminship. How many people would need to post in order for this to carry out? Unicogirl 19:59, October 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * I have left a comment on Dantman's page: Talkpage: 74 Gaiapedia, and his Gaiapedia page Dantman Talkpage: Gaiapedia, and I created the forum topic Discuss Gaiapedia adminship. This was around 19:17, so after submitting my post on his page, he contacted me quickly. He said the Pedia is abandoned, admin wise, but I should still discuss adminship with others. Unicogirl 19:59, October 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * I abandoned the wiki since I don't even visit Gaia Online anymore and left it to the other admin and users. So I leave it to what the current community decides. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Oct 17, 2009 @ 20:03 (UTC)


 * Thank you for posting Dantman, and for the tips. -- And to Catherine, I wanted to change my Wikia Name to the name I use on Gaia Online, is there a way for me to request this without making a new Account? Because if I ever become an Admin to anything, I would like it to be under a name I frequently use on other sites. Unicogirl 13:48, October 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Since starting the topic "Discuss Gaiapedia adminship" in the forum (9 Days Ago), there has been no discussion of Adminship. As I have said before, there are FEW Editors, but not enough to discuss this matter or (what seems like) take interests. And it seems we have been getting vandalized, we have no active Admins (as stated by Dantman), so we can not block people or lock pages. I really would like to have the rights to the wiki, and I would like to appoint the most active Editors if someone stepped up to it. -- Gaiapedia also has pages and other things that need to be deleted, and a template for new coding. And I am still interested in changing my current name to match my Gaia Online account.


 * Thank you for reading. Unicogirl 21:35, October 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your patience, Unicogirl; I think you understand that we try to give communities every chance to make decisions for themselves. I've given you the rights.  I'm glad you're so motivated to improve Gaiapedia and I look forward to seeing what you do in the future.  Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 22:02, October 26, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you Catherine, I will try to fix up the Pedia to the best of my ability. Though I still need to study how Wikia works, for now I am sticking to the basics and cleaning up. Unicogirl 16:56, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

QuakeWiki Request (Accepted)
The last time an Admin was online was over a year ago. I'm planning on helping bring this Wiki back, possibly beyond it's previous popularity. I think it may need to be updated to the latest Wikia version (maybe not, I've never been an Admin before). I'll be working on recruiting a crack squad of Admins to help me out, too.


 * Is the wiki inactive? - It's just me now.
 * Are you eligible to adopt? - Yes, I do not own any other Wikias.
 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content? - Yes, I have made multiple pages and page edits. So far I'm at 75, with about ~30 so new pages.
 * Are you building the community? - Yes, I am encouraging all editing and site traffic as best I can.

Shaleblade 10:42, October 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Great work, and thanks for checking with Joylock, the other active user. I've given you the admin rights -- please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 23:47, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Degrassi Wiki (Accepted)
Hello,There is only one admin on this wiki but he is completeley inactive. There is a bunch of spam and spam pages. It would be much eaasier if I could revert or delete the spam. This is why I want to adopt this wiki, Thank-You! -- Unknown4  Talk  19:53, October 8, 2009 (UTC) Either me or this user Roarthe should be given rights. We both take out spam and put the delete template on spam pages. Could you give us both rights? -- Unknown4  Talk  19:30, October 19, 2009 (UTC)
 * We'd be delighted to have a new admin for this wiki. However, it looks like there are several active users there who should have a say in the matter.  Could you please start a discussion on the wiki about who should gain admin rights?  When everyone agrees we'll be happy to promote the chosen user(s).  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 23:49, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good idea -- I've given you both admin rights and I look forward to seeing this wiki improve! (We're also continually working on new tools to prevent the spam problem -- hopefully you'll see less of this in the future.  — Catherine (talk) 22:08, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Who's your favorite character (Accepted)
Hello, there is this wikia, Who's your favorite character wikia. There is only one other editor, which is the guy who made it. I make pages there and I try to contribute as much as he does. I think I'm qualified to become a sysop to help and lead that site to bigger and better things. I was just wondering if you could make me one, because I contribute a lot.--*ns0n *+k!n 01:31, October 9, 2009 (UTC)Here is the site: [http://whoisyourfavoritecharacter.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:DukeChiliPeppers - Who Is Your Favorite Character? Wiki]
 * Looks like he has already given you the rights -- thanks for your hard work! — Catherine (talk) 00:01, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Scream wiki (Accepted)
It's only bureaucrat and admin's last edit was a year ago as well as last log in. The wiki has got a good collection of article's already so it won't need much editing. I want to become the site's bureaucrat to design it, help with pages and appoint other trusted members admin so they can assist also in the wiki's growth as I did with the Nightmare on Elm Street wiki. Thank you Tangeled Web Weaver 10:43, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good work, I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well -- if you can get up to 100 articles quickly we may be able to get you in for a Halloween Spotlight ad.  Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 00:03, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Fusionfall Fanon Wikia (Accepted)
The owner has been inactive since May and other than my edits today, he is (was) the only one doing anything to work on the Wiki. I can at least get it advertised, get a few members, and get it active, unlike him. EDIT: I'd like to withdraw my request as of right now. I'll try to contact the wiki admin and see if he can get the place active again.
 * It doesn't look like the admin has logged in recently; I've gone ahead and given you the admin rights. Please do what you can to make this wiki active!  — Catherine (talk) 00:07, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Monster Hunter Frontier Online Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I'd like to request Bureaucrat status on mhfo.wikia.com. The current (and only) bureaucrat/sysop hasn't logged in since May. Since I began working on the site I've added aroung 30 or 40 articles, but I'm gearing up to add -many- more. I tried to get in contact with the current bureaucrat, but I haven't heard anything back.


 * Is the wiki inactive? Other than myself, it appears as though the last edit was in June, so I would say yes.


 * Are you eligible to adopt? Yes.


 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content? Yes. I probably have more edits than I should, but when I began work on the wiki it was practically empty, so there is a ton of work to do. I am working on a huge amount of translation from Japanese (with which I am only medicore), so I'm sure quite a few of those edits are fixes.


 * Are you building the community? Yes. I am active in the Monster Hunter community elsewhere on the web, but right now mhfo.wikia.com is barren, has very few users, and no community to speak of. The site needs a lot of tlc, but I believe it can be the best english language resource for MHFO on the web.

Thanks! --diphen 01:27, October 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Excellent work! I've given you the rights and I look forward to seeing the wiki grow with you taking care of it.  You have enough articles -- please check to see if you meet the other requirements for a spotlight ad.  Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 00:09, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

The Cleveland Show and Family Guy Wiki (Accepted)
Any chance of greasing the skids for an adminship on The Cleveland Show Wiki? Grande13 is bucking for a much deserved position of Bureaucrat and I'm sitting by impotently as we had a serial vandal there today and am myself interested in being an admin. We've both logged numerous edits on multiple wikis including the Family Guy Wiki. --Buckimion 22:24, October 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * I've provided links for both wikis

 

Both are located in the wiki's main forums although they dont get the most activity, so I also posted links to the specific forum topic on the news page and even messaged a few members to voice their opinions. There are a lot of users on the wikis although people come and go in spurts so its tough to get people to respond besides the really active members that almost contribute on a daily/weekly basis. Anyways, there have been no objections Grande13 13:02, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've promoted Grande13 to bureaucrat on both wikis. Glad to see you looking after these wikis!  — Catherine (talk) 00:12, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Wolfenstein Wiki (Accepted)
Hi there! I want to become an administrator of Wolfenstein wiki (http://wolfenstein.wikia.com/wiki/Wolfenstein_Wiki). I made a lot efforts to improve it recently, and want to continue that way.

Well, I guess it is, partially. There are only two or three major editors on the Wiki, and no administrators.
 * Is the wiki inactive?

I guess I am:)
 * Are you eligible to adopt?

Yes, I contributed a lot in the past month.
 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content?

Well, though I communicated with other users, I never did such thing. But I'll do my best.
 * Are you building the community?
 * Good work - I've given you the admin rights, please use them well! — Catherine (talk) 00:17, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Vertigo wiki (Accepted)
Hi, I would like to request being allowed to adopt this wiki. Thanks. Sssfmtoc 03:48, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * I love the work you've done there, Sss; I've given you the admin rights. Enjoy!  — Catherine (talk) 03:22, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll strive to continue to make you proud! Sssfmtoc 23:15, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Jo-Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Accepted)
Hello, I'd like to request the administrator/bureaucrat status of http://jjba.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. I'm the the only person that is log on and the only one to make edits. I been adding articles, pictures, creating links and repairing the otherwise broken links and fixing the missing pictures. But I can't delete the pages which are wrongly name which I found to be quite a bit. This one the reason I request it.


 * Is the wiki inactive?
 * Totally, I never seen anyone here I hardly think anyone knows it even exist, so yes.


 * Are you eligible to adopt?
 * Yes and I hope too!


 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content?
 * All the time, actually I do two to five edits daily and in weekends I do five to eight, so that a big fat YES.


 * Are you building the community?
 * I try but Jojo Bizarre Adventure is not just for everybody and those who like it know not of this website so I'm hoping to change that by becoming the administrator and I know this not a game. I'm willing to take responsibility for it.
 * Good work -- I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 03:24, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Mafia Wars Wiki (Accepted)
Dear Wikia Admin, I am the top contributor of Mafia Wars Wiki. I already have the support of Wolfman2000 (2nd Top Contributor) in running this Wiki if we are given the rights to Mafia Wars Wiki. I would also like to pull in Ploppies to be part of the 3 man admin team if we are given a chance. He has already create a logo for the Mafia Wars Wiki. I dare to say that 75% of the contents in Mafia Wars Wiki today are contribute by us. Myself have focus alot on the Job section, while Ploppies have always providing information on the latest additions of weapons etc. Wolfman2000 have been always focusing on individual items pages. 3 of us will make a good team if we are given the chance. Thank You. . Edricteo
 * Good work -- I've given you and Wolfman the admin rights -- you can feel free to give them to Ploppies (using Special:Userrights as well if you feel the wiki needs more admin coverage, but a small wiki generally doesn't need very many admins. Please keep working on making this wiki great, and spreading the word about it out on the web!  — Catherine (talk) 18:51, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Russian Half-Life wiki (Accepted)
Hi, I'd like to adopt the Russian Half-Life wiki. The last edit was made more than a year ago, it has only three (inactive) users, and there's work to do. I need to upload a new logo, and make changes in the css among other things. If you could appoint me bureaucrat, that would be nice! ШЛЫК 18:34, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the hard work -- I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 20:36, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Elder Scrolls (Accepted)
I would like to adopt the Elder Scrolls wiki again. The Elder Scrolls: The Infernal City is going to be released on Noverber 24, which is a little over a month from now. This means that there's is probably going to be more activity there, so an active administrator is needed.

I used to an bureaucrat for that wiki, but a "control freak" (his own words) administrator decided to strip my administrative rights away from me in order to assume power for himself. After the climax of the dispute, that administrator left in order to start a splinter wiki free from Wikia oversight. Now that administrator and his followers are gone, and they don't contribute to that wiki anymore.

Presently, I'm the only active, ongoing contributor to that wiki. The past dispute has been resolved, and I wish to restore the wiki to its active, newcomer-welcoming self. Once the new book is released, I'll create new articles for the wiki, and then have it spotlighted. As a trusted administrator on over five wikis, I feel that I'm more than qualified for the position. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 19:56, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to see that the previous disputes are done with. I am trusting you to deal with any potential future conflicts wisely, and ask for help if you need it.  I've restored your admin and bureaucrat rights, please use them well.  — Catherine (talk) 20:52, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll make sure to. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 00:42, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Jrock Wiki (Accepted)
I am interested in adopting the Jrock Wiki here --Jrock Wiki. It has been inactive for quite some time and I'm almost exclusively sure that the creator has abandoned it. I have created, deleted, and edited several articles on it and while I do have another wiki that could be seen as abandoned the truth is that I simply stopped work on it so that I could meet the time requirement of 60 days without being given access to a new wiki. I didn't abandon it but if I do get to be the Administrator of the Jrock Wiki then I will delete the other one that I have, Currently there are no other users on the wiki but I hope to bring in new people and build a community.

Pirates of the Caribbean (Accepted)
The Pirates of the Caribbean wikia is pretty much dead as far as admin activity goes. There is an "active" admin listed on the administrators page, however, he/she hasn't edited in over a year. There is another admin that randomly seems to pop up ( very infrequent though ) and upon checking his/her patrol log, they haven't made any manual patrols in many months. The site is riddled with a lot of vandalism and spam pages, not to mention vandalism in articles. I have a lot of wiki experience and would be willing to assist in cleaning this site up.--Mandi talk 22:51, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good work -- I've given you the admin rights, and look forward to seeing you improve the wiki. Hopefully it will be ready for great things when On Stranger Tides is ready for launch!  — Catherine (talk) 23:35, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Element Wikia (Accepted)
Hello Wikia. My name is Mr. Elements. I recently looked up this wikia. Seeing no one is making progress on this wiki, I would appreciate it if I was given adminship over the wiki. There has been no sustained editing, and the admin has been out since April 18th, 2008. I have not founded any wikis, and am not an admin on any wiki. I have uploaded pictures of the first "group" on the Periodic Table, if that counts as editing. I have not created a new page, but hopefully, in the near future, I will get on it. I have not run a wiki before, but I've seen how it's done, and can probably can keep things under control. I edit on two other wikis: Wookieepedia and Groovypedia, so I do know the works of a wiki. Please allow me to take over. This wiki could go SO far, and I would hate for it to be lost. Please consider. Thank you. Mr. Elements
 * Great work, Mr. E -- I've given you the admin rights and I'd love to see you do lots more with this wiki. Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 21:13, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

PlayStation Wikia (Declined)
I would like to request this PlayStation Wiki. Mangomango, 7:09 pm, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see any edits from you at PlayStation Wiki -- please join in editing there and then we'll be happy to consider an adminship request! — Catherine (talk) 21:30, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Sly Cooper Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I'd like to be an admin in the Sly Cooper Wiki, because I have what it takes to help out the wiki and I'm an admin in 2 other wikis so it also helps out, I'm also contributing to the wiki because some anon user are putting false information, I'm going to ask othr people from other wiki to help out with the wiki too, please accept.--  Ace  Infinity  23:13, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Ace, I don't see a lot of edits in the mainspace for you there -- mostly your user page and talk pages. Could you please put in a little more work to create new pages, expand and link existing ones together, and maybe update the main page a bit?  Then I'll be happy to look at giving you admin rights.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 22:13, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Ok, I'll get to work

Malazan Wiki (Accepted)
Please add me to the sysop and/or bureaucrat groups on the Malazan Wiki.
 * Is the wiki inactive?
 * Yes, there has been no sustained editing in the past 6 months and the current and only admin last edited 549 days ago.


 * Are you eligible to adopt?
 * Yes, I've not been an admin before. I have not been blocked on any wiki previously.


 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content?
 * Yes, I have 345+ total edits (136 Main edits) on the Malazan Wiki and I have created several new pages.


 * Are you building the community?
 * Yes, I'm attempting to, there has only been one other editor since I joined (they haven't replied yet) and I'm building the Community Forum. I'm overhauling the wiki at the moment, but I need sysop privileges to change/clean up some of things I want to though.

Jade Raven MEMORY 01:38, October 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Excellent work -- I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well — Catherine (talk) 22:14, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Winniepedia (Accepted)

 * Is the Wiki inactive? - Yes. It is officially listed as inactive and there is no moderator or admin activity. The Wiki still has the basic look on the mainpage of one that was just started, even though it's been around for over two years (one of the first things I intend to overhaul if made admin.)
 * Are you eligible to adopt? - Yes, this would be my first Wiki that I've had any admin privileges for and I certainly haven't been blocked anywhere.
 * Are you contributing to the Wiki's content? - I just started working on the Wiki's content around a week ago and I've already added a number of new pages and categories. In fact, I think I already may have more edits than anyone else.
 * Are you building the community? - Well, it's kind of hard when there is only one other active user at the moment, but I did talk with him on his talk page and compliment him on his recent work. I certainly do add new pictures. If made admin, I intend to try to start recruiting back some of the Wiki's past contributors and also start adding video and news content as the like, as well as look for new members.

George B. (talk ) 06:35, October 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Nice work, George. I've given you the admin rights, please use them well.  (Also, you may have an unclosed Italics tag in your signature -- you may be missing an &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;.  Please fix this so you don't change other people's text, entered after your sig, into italics.)  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 22:20, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll be getting started on it soon and I appreciate you getting that set up! Also, thanks for the tip on the signature-- I have closed the tag. (Though, it's curious, because I've been editing on here for at least a couple years and nobody has ever noticed it before...) George B. (talk ) 02:52, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

GUN Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I would like to take this page: GUN Wiki is very deserted, there are only two users and inactive ColtonWhite95
 * Thanks, I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 22:56, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Discworld (Accepted)
I would like to request to adopt the Discworld wiki. It's been inactive for over two months, and is in serious need of overhaul. I've begun importing templates and rebuilding the category structure with article content to follow, but I need rights to import code to the common.css and .js and delete a large amount of unneeded articles. I am a veteran wiki contributor, and hold administrator rights on three separate wikis—Wookieepedia, the Harry Potter Wiki, and the Firefly and Serenity Database. - Cavalier One ( Talk ) 10:24, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * All looks good :) I've given you the rights there -- sannse (talk) 23:31, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

Finnish Ikariam Wiki (Accepted)
Hi I would like to request administration rights to Finnish Ikariam wiki. Administrators have been inactive over 60 days. In wikia is many spam edits and pages...

Is the wiki inactive? - Yes. Administrators have been inactive over 60 days. There is only one other editor and we've talked it.

 * Outs!! I talk in finnish in Ikariam online game private message) . Does we talk again in wikia? --Ilkea 17:07, October 24, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think that will do. :)  I've given you the admin rights, please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 22:11, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

The Shield Wiki (Accepted)
Requesting adoption of The Shield Wiki... Check the wiki to see how it has improved. Thanks! Thief12 22:14, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Only one editor, other than me, has edited an article in the last two months.
 * 2) I haven't adopted any other Wiki, although I've been a frequent contributor to the 24 Wiki for about a year.
 * 3) In two months, I've contributed more than 1,000 edits to the Wiki, a lot of them new pages.
 * 4) I've also added pictures, created infobox, and other stuff to make the wiki look more clean.
 * Hi, it's looking good there! But the last edit by an admin was less than 60 days ago.  I would suggest trying to contact that admin first, and then discussing this with Ggjk if the admin doesn't return.  It looks like he's been pretty active there too and should have a say in this -- sannse (talk) 23:37, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * And who is the admin? Thief12 16:16, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Looks like you've already left a message at User talk:Kanamekun -- you can always find a list of active admins at Special:ListUsers/sysop . If they haven't responded in another week, I'll give you the rights.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 22:15, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Since Kanamekun hasn't been back, I've gone ahead and promoted you -- thanks for all your hard work! — Catherine (talk) 00:14, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, Catherine! BTW, if you're a fan of The Shield, be sure to check out the page every now and then to see how it keeps on improving :-D Thief12 02:21, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

The Tribe Wiki (Declined)
I would like to adopt The Tribe Wiki. The administrator hasn't been active for more than two years, and there are no active editors apart from a couple of minor edits now and then. I did some editing there before, but eventually gave up hope that it would ever be a proper wiki. The show is now airing once more on TV, which means that more users will eventually arrive. I want to make the wiki more organized and add more content for when they do, and eventually a wiki worthy of the show. -- Tribemaster (Talk) 22:36, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, good to see you back. It looks like there is another active user there now - so I would suggest talking to them first, and deciding on who should have admin rights.  At the moment, they are editing more than you, and it's only fair that they get a say too :) -- sannse (talk) 23:40, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've added a forum message and a sitenotice inviting the community to discuss who should get admin rights -- it's great to see this community picking up! — Catherine (talk) 20:37, October 29, 2009 (UTC)

Titanic Wiki (Declined)
i would like to adopt titanic wiki
 * Hi, IP addresses can not gain admin rights. You will have to create an account, edit a lot there and help build the community on That account. Otherwise, you will not be able to gain admin rights. ☆ The  Solar  Dragon  ( talk ) ☆ 05:25, October 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi there, Dragon's right -- we have no technical means to give adminship to an IP, and we want someone for new users to be able to talk to, with a friendly name. :)  Please make a free account (it's very fast!) and start editing, and we'll be happy to give you the rights.  — Catherine (talk) 22:18, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Land of the Dead (Declined)
This page has only 4 page and 2 users,including me.So i wish to adopted it.
 * Hi, you need to link to the wiki you would like to adopt so that I can look at it. If there is another active user there, you should also talk to them first and decide who should be admin.  And don't forget to edit! it's always good to do that before adopting -- sannse (talk) 23:42, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * Do you mean Land of the Dead? I see Eminem7771 hasn't been around since August. Please make a few more edits on the wiki and we'll be happy to give you the rights.  — Catherine (talk) 22:21, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Theeds, since you haven't made any more edits, I am going to close this request. Please feel free to ask again when you have more time to devote to the wiki.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 00:17, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Dragon Quest Wikia (On hold)
Hello,

I just wanted to say that I am the best candidate for "adopting" the dragonquest wikia because there is nobody else making main edits, just talk page edits. I am made about 30 edits in the past few days because I want to make Dragon Quest wikia better. I have been on the Final Fantasy Wikia at one point but I never really took it seriously then but I learned how to do most of the editing techniques. I have made plenty of pages and many different redirects. I also had a short stint on the Mario Party wikia but thta didn't last long because I have little knowledge about Mario Party. I have made an effort to talk to other people on the forum which includes one or two active people. We are having a few discussions right now.

Anyway, I really want to adopt this wiki and I know that I am a good choice to adopt it.
 * Do you mean dragonquest.wikia.com? I don't see any admin discussions there, so maybe you mean another one?  When you and those you are talking to have decided who should be admin, please let us know (and don't forget to link to the wiki!)  -- sannse (talk) 23:45, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * I've opened a forum discussion at w:c:dragonquest:Forum:New_admins_needed -- we'll be happy to give the tools to whoever the community chooses. — Catherine (talk) 00:31, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Swimming Wikia (Accepted)
Here Is the wiki inactive? - A one ip and 2 names. Are you eligible to adopt? - Yes this is my first time. Are you contributing to the wiki's content? - I have put some content from wikipedia on this wikia and I am planing to write pages on the four strokes soon. Are you building the community? - There is only 2 people that I have seen so far. If they make another edit I will approach them. I hope I am allowed to have this privilege! 06:03, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * I see you've only done a few edits so far, but it's a very inactive wiki... so let's give it a go! I've set your rights, good luck! -- sannse (talk) 23:51, October 23, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks a lot 06:41, October 24, 2009 (UTC)

Diablo Wiki HUN (Accepted)
Hello! I'm T-motion admin from Wowwiki-Hun.I would like to get the admin rights for Diablo Wiki HUN Here is the reasons:

1. Is the wiki inactive? - Yes. the wikia has only two users: Ba'al666 and Rmnono. Ba'al666 are do something in July, but Rmnono(admin) are since 1 year ar not coming up to care his wiki.

2. Are you eligible to adopt? - This part seems to be more difficult because I care a wiki page for almost 2 years: Wowwiki-HUN. Approximately 2 years ago, the same way I ask you to give admin rights for the neglected Wowwiki-HUN site. It was neglected, and no one managed it. That time was in ca.50 article. I found some friend, and started to "upgrade". Now we have 450 article.

If you already have a Wikia page, then why should another one? - Interested the page, I can also now well to edit Wikia, and is also there are many source, to fill up.

3. Are you contributing to the wiki's content? - I think, I answered this question.

4. Are you building the community? - Last week I get contact with hungarian diablo fans and they are like the idea. Once come out of Diablo 3, it will be required for this page.

Finally, I would add that I don't want to neglect the WoWWiki-HUN wikia page. I know all beginnings are difficult, the same was in my wikia page, but now we are donig well.

Thank you forward: -- T-motion  ( talk ·  contr  · Wowiki-Hun Admin) 13:05, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * Great work, T-motion, I'd love to see you improve Diablo the same way you did Wowwiki. Please use your new tools well, and invite lots of Hungarian gamers to help!  — Catherine (talk) 22:27, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Random Wiki (Accepted)
Hi my name is lizcat68 and I would like to adopt http://random.wikia.com/. the creator has NEVER made one change to the wiki. The last change made was that the "Main Page" was added. Thanks, lizcat68
 * Since the wiki is empty, I've gone ahead and given you the rights -- please use them well (and please remember that even "random" content must remain within our terms of use. Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 22:31, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

iCarly Fanon (Accepted)
I haven't gotten admin privliges on a wiki for one month and have made 2 pages. No one has edited for a long time. You can find it at icarlyfanon.wikia.com -- Anniemoose98,    Wanna say Hi?  21:22, October 24, 2009 (UTC)
 * You've made a couple of nice edits to get started but I'd like to see more from you. I've gone ahead and given you the rights -- please use them well and invite some friends to play!  — Catherine (talk) 23:24, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Xbox Wiki (Accepted)
Hi, this is Javilus, and I would like to adopt the Xbox Wiki. The wiki seems to have no admin or bureaucrat, and I seem to love the Xbox. So it seems that a long time of not updating the wiki, and I've played some games on the Xbox 360 and Xbox Live Arcade, and know how these all work, which concludes that I am looking forward to maintain this wiki. This means I'll work there, add articles related to the Xbox World, and give out the best info for that system and it's successors as well. --Javilus 06:04, October 25, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good work, Javilus, it looks like you're very motivated! I've given you the rights, please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 23:41, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

Hobo Guide Wiki (Accepted)
It has been inactive since early September, and I would gladly take it over. The creator just made a bunch of blank pages, which I filled and made a few of my own. The creator was the only editor. I hope I can continue the wiki.
 * If you are talking about this wiki, the admin last edited/logged in on the 3rd of October, try contacting them first. AceTracer is the admin there. -- 10:32, October 26, 2009 (UTC)
 * I can't use Special:Emailuser on him. I really see great potential for the wiki, but it's too bad AceTracer abandoned it.
 * If you just click the new secton button on his/her talk page, if they have entered an email address, it will send the person an email to say the page has been edited, if they have it on their watchlist, though I think it maybe by default? Is the Special:Emailuser not working for you because you havnt entered a email in Special:Preferences? Because its working fine for me, Special:EmailUser/AceTracer. -- 09:17, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * OK, I emailed AceTracer, I hope this works... I'll give him a week. made at 02:04, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * You've made good edits there and AceTracer hasn't returned, so I've given you the rights. Please use them well! — Catherine (talk) 00:40, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for your interest!  — Catherine (talk) 01:04, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Celestial Refresh Wiki (Accepted)
Hello there. I am user 'Gingeraids'. I have helped various wikis from time to time, but I am attempting to revive a Wiki that has been lost for a while.

The wiki's name is Celestial Refresh Wiki. It is a Wiki based on a Roleplaying site titled 'Celestial Refresh RP'. Two days ago, I had the idea of reviving the Wiki and started on it. While progress has been excellent, we simply can't do as much as we're setting out to do due to User Limitations. Our old Administrator was banned from our website due to offenses that involved rude behavior and hacking other websites, so he naturally left the Wiki to die. I do not want that to happen. So here I am, asking you to make me Administrator of Celestial Refresh Wiki. If you need any additional information on the Wiki or Celestial Refresh in general, I have numerous ways of contacting me.

Here is a link to Celestial Refresh Wiki. http://celestial-refresh.wikia.com -- User:Gingeraids
 * I've given you the admin rights (and removed them from the founder of the wiki) -- I look forward to seeing your RP group do great things with it. — Catherine (talk) 01:16, October 27, 2009 (UTC)

Animal Crossing Wiki (Accepted)
Hey wikia, got redirected here by Sarah (Wikia Staff) who might I say, emailed so soon it was scary :P Anyway, straight to business! I'm an active member of the Animal Crossing Wiki (animalcrossing.wikia.com/wiki/Animal_Crossing_Wiki) with the username 'MerrytonRyan' and we only have one active Admin on the wiki, who lacks bureacratic rights so cannot make me an admin. The only person with such rights has been inactive for the past couple of months and we have problems with spammers ruining pages and making faux articles which needed to be deleted. I seem to come across these users (both registered and IP) quite often, and when I revert changes they usually undo them to the spam, with some rude and insulting comments chucked in too. I'm currently leading a few projects (villagers, events, seasons, distributed items) and I jazz up the pages with images, while also editing the pages after some users to make them cleaner (sometimes thanking them in the summary for their contribution).

I would like to suggest making Dragonfree97 a bureaucrat, as he is one of the main users on this page. Is it possible to request bureacrat rights for myself? That would be useful, but if not, then being an admin would give me enough powers and tools at my disposal :) Thanks, Ryan. MerrytonRyan 18:26, October 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * It looks like you two have been doing great work there. I've made you both admins and bureaucrats -- please work together to make this wiki great!  — Catherine (talk) 05:58, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Chris Lilley Wiki (accepted)
I'd like to adopt the Chris Lilley Wiki. When I discovered the wiki, no pages existed and it had been inactive for along time. All pages and existing info now on it has been put there by me. I've also tried recruiting more people to help out, and will continue to do so. Tornmuscle 18:07, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * All looks good Tornmuscle. I've given you the rights - good luck with the wiki! -- sannse (talk) 23:29, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Suikoden Wikia (accepted)
I'd like to adopt http://suikoden.wikia.com/wiki/Suikopedia. The previous admin hasn't been on for months now. I've made several hundered new pages and 1,364 edits thus far. I was told to leave a link of the converstation between me and the other users there so here it is http://suikoden.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Master_Thomas.

I'm not an admin of another website but I do contribute to other wiki sites, Zelda Wikia, Naruto Pedia and I've never been banned from another website. Also I try to keep the website clean and good looking by uploading pictures and fixing various minor mistakes.

--Master Thomas 21:39, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * That looks good. Thanks for talking it over first! I've given you the rights there, that should help you and Troisnyxetienne in building the wiki -- sannse (talk) 23:38, October 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks so very much ^_^ have a great day. --Master Thomas 23:49, October 28, 2009 (UTC)

Full Metal Panic Wiki (Accepted)
I would like to adopt the Full Metal Panic! Wiki. I started some ground work back in January and the admin has never really been there. Would it be possible to add me and but not remove him (just in case he comes back). Thanks. - plau 14:28, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, have you talked to Tessa 100 about it? She's pretty active there too.  We'll be happy to make one or both of you admins there as long as you agree.  Let us know!  — Catherine (talk) 20:45, October 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Really? She's only edited 1 page, and has made even less edits than our admin. Although I don't really have a problem if you make us both admins. - Plau 17:28, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've given you the rights. Please use them well.  Help:Logo might be a good place to start!  — Catherine (talk) 18:57, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Ice Age Wiki (Accepted)
Ice Age Wiki
 * Is the wiki inactive?
 * No, but there's very few contributors and the wiki needs more staff.
 * Are you eligible to adopt?
 * I have not founded, adopted or given admin access in the past 60 days, nor have ever been banned or blocked from a Wiki.
 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content?
 * Yes, over 200 edits since July 4, 2009. Several new pages and improved articles, number #2 top contributor only behind the actual and only admin Karlamon9.
 * Are you building the community?
 * Yes, I do talk with other users help actual admin to regulate the wiki, reporting spammers and flamers and have dealt with stubborn contributors as well. I've visited the Wiki nearly on a daily basis since I found it and probably the wiki wouldn't have as much content as music links (embedded from youtube), trivia and educative content I've contributed.
 * I'm also responsible for adding dynamic content in the wiki, I suggested the "Did You know" and the "Monthly Poll" sections you can see in the main page.
 * I've promoted the Wiki by adding links from sites as "Fanpop" and "deviantART". (No spam, only added link to the Wiki on Ice Age fan clubs).
 * Admin Karlamon9 invited me to become admin to help him in wiki regulation as he thinks I will do a good job as one.--SNA 02:51, October 30, 2009 (UTC)


 * Since there's an active community, I didn't give you the rights directly, but I did give Karlamon bureaucrat rights (as the previous 'crat is missing in action) and left a note describing how to promote. Now s/he can give you the rights, if other users agree.   Thanks for letting us know about the need for more staff!  — Catherine (talk) 19:06, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

Política Brasileira (Accepted)
I am interested in adopting the Política Brasileira

Anno 1404 (Accepted)
Anno 1404


 * Is the wiki inactive? - Doesn't seem to be an active founder. Very few edits other than my own in the last several months.
 * Are you eligible to adopt? - Yes, I do not own any other Wikias.
 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content? - Yes, I have made multiple pages and 549 page edits. I have over 40,000 edits on wikipedia, and four other independent personal wikis, so I know how to build a wiki.
 * Are you building the community? - Yes, I have messaged three forums several times about relevant material on this wiki. I have began welcoming new editors, thanking them for their contributions.

The biggest reason I would like to adopt this wiki is so I can develop it more. As a regular user I can't change features like I could as 'crat/admin. Anno1404 20:05, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

 * How would I go about moving the entire wikia? Hmmm...I will have to do research on this. Anno1404 07:50, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Done, per http://answers.wikia.com/wiki/How_can_I_change_wikia_community_name, now if I can only figure out how to get collapsible tables for this wiki! Thanks again. Anno1404 07:57, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

AFI wikia adoption (Accepted)
I recently came across the A Fire Inside wikia and noticed it was quite lackingin content. I am interested in being an admin and/or taking possession of the wiki. AFI is my favorite band and I believe I would be able to make some useful additions to the wikia. If you have any questions, feel free to comment on my talk page.

Thanks for considering this request,

-Ct6623 20:06, October 30, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good work, I've given you the admin rights. Please make this wiki great -- wikis with enthusiastic music fans can really become the best place for info on their favorite bands.  Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 07:45, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, User:Thralas

Nice work though, if you ever get over run with Vandal articles that need cleaning up, just give me a shout... I can atleast sort them out ready for more info, even though I have no idea on the subject. -- 16:07, November 1, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello, the most active contributor wasabii joe agreed uppon my adminship status. I don't see other active people there, but if you would grant me the admin status. I can assure you, that the wiki will be bigger, better and maybe with more editors.

RebirthRO Wiki (Accepted)
Hello Wikia, I would like to adopt the RebirthRO wiki. http://rebirthro.wikia.com/wiki


 * Is the wiki inactive? - The Founder's last logon was July 28, and was is Banned from wikia. No Recent activity. Except 2 lines is text from an unregistered user.
 * Are you eligible to adopt? - Yeah! Haven't founded or adopted a wiki for the whole year. And some of 2008 I guess.
 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content? - Yup, currently am too! I've forgotten to Log In a few times, though the IP is 119.95.31.186,I also want to upload a logo, but it's admin only, I think.
 * Are you building the community? - I am going to post the wiki on the RebirthRO forums which has over 100,00 active users.
 * I will first wait as I know some users on the forums which would LOVE to vandalize some pages.

I'm sure I can contribute.
 * I will add that I am one of the veteran players, and have played in thus particular server for "4 years".


 * Most pages are insults to various members of the community itself. I would like to be able to lock a page.
 * Excuse me, but why is this on hold, would I need more edit? Pages?

TwoUpWeb
 * Hi TwoUp, sorry about the delay in answering, I wasn't around this weekend. Your edits look great, and I've given you the rights.  Please help the wiki become great!  — Catherine (talk) 07:53, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

MachiPedia (Accepted)
I'd like to make a new request to lead the MachiPedia. See, I see Potential in the Wikia, since Machinima is a world wide thing and many many gamers use it. I plan to turn it into something for gamers to post all things machinima. Shows they may have created using particular games, profiles on favorite characters from these machinima shows, gaming news etc.

I'd like to give this a shot as im sure after a few things have been done to it, it will be a community many people will end up using.

If you could accept this request, i'd be delighted. The Wikipedia has been inactive for several months (by the looks of it, years). I have a logo already made to go at the top, which I cannot add as the page is locked, so when I get this permission, I can add this. As you can see, already I am starting to work on this Wikia.

I'll just add this since it's kind of needed.

Nothing has gone on. Last time something has happened before my edits was in 2008.
 * Is the wiki inactive?

Not banned from any Wikia's.
 * Are you eligible to adopt?

Have contributed to wikias such as WoWWiki, Brutal Legend Wiki and Wikipedia itself. I have uploaded the current machinima logo to it and will be adding some pages within the next few days.
 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content?

I plan to build as much as I can of it, with Machinimators to follow.
 * Are you building the community?

Thanks ;)

Kranitoko 18:31, November 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Good work, we'd be delighted to get a strong machinima community going here. Best wishes, please use your new admin tools well!  — Catherine (talk) 07:56, November 3, 2009 (UTC)

Native Americans Wiki (On hold)
I am in fact a native american, so i would like to make a site that would help to find lots of information, about many tribes.

 * We'd be delighted to have you help us with a Native Americans wiki -- are you interested in w:c:firstnations or w:c:nativeamericans or a different wiki?  We do ask that you make some edits on the wiki before adopting.  Could you please start working on creating some new pages (using the "create" link in the sidebar) or adding to existing pages?  Once you've done that we'll be happy to give you administrator rights.  Thanks for your interest! — Catherine (talk) 00:51, November 5, 2009 (UTC)
