problem on polish wikipedia
Hi!

I would like to tell you about very unpleasant and embarrassing situation on Polish Wikipedia.

Like on every other language wikipedia users of wikipedia-pl with vulgar or "almoust vulgar" (in Levenshtein distance way) account name are blocked forever because of "unacceptable account name". Which is fine and reasonable.

Whats not fine a reasonable is that one of the wikipedia-pl sysops has account name Kotasik which is "almoust vulgar" (Kutasik in Polish is vulgarism for "little penis").

I wrote to Kotasik telling him that situation, when beginner user of wikipedia is blocked because of vulgar account name by sysop with vulgar account name is unacceptable - what this begginer user would think? Probably "well, I see that wikipedia treats sysop better, they're above wikipedia law" - which is of course not true.

As I said I wrote to Kotasik about that, I tried to to convince him of changing his acc name. He said "no, but try RFC mechanism if you want to"

So I made RFC, where I wrote that for wikipedia good Kotasik should change his acc. My IP have been blocked because of "trolling", RFC was deleted and when I tried to talk about on wikipedia-pl irc channel, I was banned from them, which confirm my supposition that Polish sysops think that their above wikipedians law.

Thank You and sorry for interrupting, but I have no idea who shuld I tell that Mencio 13:24, 26 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Wikia isn't Wikipedia. You need to talk to the community on that wiki about this. Have you tried using their mailing list or IRC channel? Angela talk

First of all, the word kutasik is not explicitly a vulgar word. Its primary meaning is not at all vulgar (a kind of cloth decoration). Kutasik is also a diminutive of a vulgar word kutas which stands for dick, thus making kutasik a dickling. Now back to the above mentioned SysOp's nick: kotasik. If somebody had a nick duckling, would you ban it for being similar to dickling? Matt 10:12, 27 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Even though the topic is a month old, I feel obliged to make a comment for those of you, who don't know Polish.

Adopting A Wikia
Hi, I would like to Adopt The X-Men Wikia since the Leader is not Active. I can build it up and get many new Members. Professor Xavier 19:18, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Hey, can i co-found the wiki with him? Will Beback 19:51, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Will beback was blocked for impersonating a Wikipedia admin. Angela talk 20:48, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

So, can I? Professor Xavier 22:15, 26 January 2007 (UTC) Professor Xavier 23:30, 26 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I mean, can I Adopt the X-Men Wikia?


 * Yes, feel free to get involved and start editing there. Let me know if you need any help. Angela talk 01:23, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

So, does that mean the Wikia is mine now? Professor Xavier 02:05, 27 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, no. No one "owns" any of the wikis. See ownership. But you're equally welcome to edit it, like anyone else is. Angela talk 02:08, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

I mean like, Adminship or Adopting like the NFL Wikia. Professor Xavier 02:26, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

So, may I please Adopt it, or be an Admin. I really must have the Powers of an Admin to fix it to it's fullist. Professor Xavier 19:07, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Adopting it just means editing and being involved with the wiki, which you are welcome to do. If you continue to do that and the community there trusts you, you can become an admin later, but the wiki has been inactive for almost 2 weeks, so there doesn't seem an urgent need for an admin. Angela talk 08:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

ATHF Wiki New Admin
Hi Angela. I would like to become a sysop and a bureaucrat to the ATHF Wiki since that wiki is abandoned and has no use of the original admin on the wiki now. --Tegiiis 02:27, 28 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Since you've only edited on one day, I think it's too early to have adminship. However, you can do most things without that access. Angela talk

WikiLilo Con Posting
Hi Angela,

Can you help me block 69.3.86.30? This anonymous user keeps removing a "Con" entry on the WikiLilo page in forms. While I'd love to get this forum created, I don't want to do it by having people remove any "Con" entries (cheating).

Thanks! MR.R 18:26, 30 January 2007 (UTC)


 * They only made 2 edits, and seem to have gone away now. Angela talk

To Kill a Mockingbird wiki
Hey. Thanks for the suggestions - however, we actually require a whole new wiki as opposed to just a single article. We want to add various sections addressing, for instance, the themes, use of language, racial prejudices etc etc. You may say that these can be linked into one article, but we have at least 26 people who will be contributing, so this will just add up to a massively long article.

I hope you understand! Thank you for your time. Jloubser


 * The request says it is just for one class, which doesn't make it a sustainable wiki. The education wiki should be used for this sort of project. Angela talk 08:11, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Hi Angela, can you take a look here.? --Slade 01:07, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Please help
Hi. I am an editor at the Kuk Sool Won Wiki. I seem to be having some problems.
 * 1) Our founder, Jimwitz, Has set unresonably high admin requirements for a new wiki. I asked for adminship and was told no.
 * 2) Our founder has created This, which does not follow the Founders policy here.
 * 3) When I left a comment on the this page, he left me a message saying I had done some "Unfriendly editing"

I would like you to look into the matter. Thanks for all your help. Megalodon99 12:37, 8 February 2007 (UTC)

Serial Killer Wiki
Hi. I submitted a request for a new wiki about a month ago, the "Serial Killer Wiki" which was intended to be a database of serial killers and details of their lives/crimes in a way that it would hopefully have been useful to psychologists/crimonologists. I still haven't heard anything back about this, not even to say whether the request had been rejected or not. Please can you tell me what is going on? Thanks--Boris Allen 12:46, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I've just sent you an email about that. Angela talk 12:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It's been 5 days now and I'd quite like to know what's going on. Has my application been rejected? I haven't heard anything--Boris Allen 15:22, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

The Elder Scrolls Wiki
Hi. I have the similar question. I submitted a request for a new wiki about two weeks ago, the "The Elder Scrolls Wiki". I wrote on e-mail also. I still haven't heard anything back about this, not even to say whether the request had been rejected or not. Please can you tell me what is going on? Thanks --Nik Novan 16:30, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * You should have got an email from me about that a couple of minutes before you left this message. It exists at ru.elderscrolls.wikia.com. :) Angela talk 17:25, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thank you --Nik Novan 18:50, 12 February 2007 (UTC) What is this in my e-mail letter "Ticket# 2007020310000183" - password or no? I have not found password. I have seen on address ru.elderscrolls.wikia.com The URL you entered points to a Wikia that does not exist. What is this& --Nik Novan 19:04, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * No, that's not the password. You should receive that separately. It's just for the mailing list and doesn't affect the actual wiki. Angela talk 19:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Norvan and Nik Novan is same person - a founder The Elder Scrolls Wiki. I have password for Mailing lists. I have adjusted Mailing lists. But further? How I can protect a main page? I can not understand in passwords. I have received the password for Mailing lists. My administration password also? Please, answer me --Nik Novan 19:59, 12 February 2007 (UTC)


 * See Help:Main Page - there's no reason to protect it yet. Protection is only a last resort against vandalism. New users should be encouraged to improve all areas of the wiki, especially the main page. Your user account has admin access, so the only password you need for the wiki is the one you usually log in with. Do you want me to set Nik Novan with admin rights instead of Norvan? Angela talk 11:59, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

No, thanks. I understood with all problems --Norvan 16:05, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Help
Hello, Iam BobafettH23. Iam getting ready to be an admin on the War of the Worlds wiki. I need some help, I need a template that says; This article is a dead article, and needs to be improved. If you can't do this, could you please point me to a user that can? Thank you for your time. BobafettH23 12:34, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Do you mean the stub template which Brain40 has already done for you? Angela talk 13:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Can you upload this image up on requests wikia? Thanks, Gravity Talk 15:45, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I apologise for not telling you why it should be uploaded (Wow, apologised twice in one day!). Lol, I just want a counterpart of support on requests. --Gravity Talk 15:55, 14 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Uploads are restricted there since people kept adding only irrelevant images and there is rarely a need for new images on that site, but I will upload this one for you and put it at w:c:requests:Template:Oppose. Angela talk 13:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

pt.nintendo
Hi Angela, remember when you've made this wiki? Well, I've found Mario Wiki and tryed to move it, but they don't want to move :( So, I am ask if you can delete pt.nintendo and create pt.mario, the wiki that I desire to edit. Thank you and type back. --Slade 23:17, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * PS: the Mario Wiki at Wikia also host Yoshi, Donkey Kong, Wario, Banjo and Conker articles, like the "original". --Slade 23:33, 15 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It's better to write about Mario within the Nintendo wiki since it's not likely to attract enough editors by itself. If it ever does, we can split the wiki at a later stage. Angela talk 13:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


 * OK, I'll do it. One more question: it's possible to install extensions at internal wikis? --Slade (msg ) 19:28, 17 February 2007 (UTC)


 * We might be able to install an extension for the whole of that Nintendo wiki. Which one is you want? Angela talk 20:48, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

The Film Guide
Hi, Angela. I submitted a request for a new wiki about several days ago, the "The Film Guide" (on Russian language) - analogue of other "The Film Guide" on other languages. Please (pleassssssse) help to open this wiki-encyclopedia. Thanks --Norvan 18:11, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * It might be better to focus on the new Elder Scrolls wiki rather than trying to make 2 at the same time, but you can start this at scratchpad: for now if you like. Angela talk 13:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

But I not one. Elder Scrolls will arrange other person. Please --Norvan 14:00, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

West Indies Wiki
Hello. Back in May, I started the West Indies Wiki, but I just don't feel like editing it again. Sorry if I no longer partake in Wikia as much as I do Wikipedia, but it's all for the best. Moreover, as the founder (at caribbean-l@wikia.com or something), I have received two spam messages this past week. How do I, the admin, close it down? --Slgrandson 23:30, 16 February 2007 (UTC)


 * How about merging this wiki into the World Wikia? I'll take your address off the mailing list now to prevent the spam. Angela talk 13:05, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Bot Issue Test

 * Below is the long winded explanation of why, but my request is: Could you put a temporary bot flag on User:AnimeBotSys keeping the sysop flag it currently has so I can test to see if my bot issue is a error caused by some sort of session difference between users with a bot flag, and users with only a sysop flag. (Sorry, I forgot to say which wikia. InuYasha is the one which still has the template protected and different from the content which will be there, so the flag is fine for the InuYasha wiki.)

I've been working on a bot for the Wikia Anime Project to be able to keep a standard set of templates across the wikia in the project matching the ones at the main anime wikia. But I'm having an issue which dosen't appear to be an issue in the programing of the bot. It appears that my bots are having problems with protected pages (Protection is used on the templates on the other wikia as a detterant to stop normal users from accidentally changing a template which will only be overwritten by a bot.) When I looked at the source html shown when an error occurs when it was attempting to write to a protected template using the sysop account for the bot I noticed that the source was for a user without sysop status, even though it had just asked me to have it login as AnimeBotSys (This is on Naruto and InuYasha where the bot is a sysop). As a test to make sure something wasen't wrong with the system, I ran one of my old bots for the gaiapedia which used the other 2 bot accounts on the gaiapedia and it ran fine, I tryed protecting the page then and it came up with an error. And when I looked at the source which came up in the console that time, I couldn't find the content area, but instead I noticed that for some reason, while when the page is unprotected and it's using the normal bot account it can edit, and the edit is logged under the name of the bot account, but while it's protected for some reason instead of being treated as the logged in sysop user, it is treated as an annon ip. Basicly User:AnimeBot has a bot flag and no sysop and User:AnimeBotSys has no bot flag but has a sysop flag. And the same goes for my olf User:GaiaBot and User:GaiaBotSys. Dantman (Talk) 15:20, 17 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your help, but it appears that my guess isn't the issue. It appears that the pywikipedia bot framework is having issues editing protected pages even with sysop status. I don't need the bot flag now. I don't actualy know if it's a pywikipedia or Wikia issue because I have no other places to test it against on this system. Dantman (Talk) 15:59, 17 February 2007 (UTC)

Question
Hi Angela. Thanks again for all your help. I have now made some progress in working on the NCDD wiki. I was wondering, is there some way that I could arrange to have admin privileges? Also, i was wondering, is there some way to prevent changes to the wiki by other users, at least until I have managed to finish some of the initial work? Obviously, at some point it will be open to editing by many others, but I would like to hold off on group editing,, especially by general users, for the time being, until it is somewhat ready for editing. So i appreciate it.

By the way, how worried should I be about random users finding it? I have a feeling that at some point Google may pick it up, since it is on wikia. Are there any general wiki link pages which currently link to it? I ask only because like I said, I feel it's not quite ready for open editing just yet.

By the way, when you reply, you can reply here, but could you please leave a note on my talk page, to let me know you have replied? Also, in general, one of the best ways to reach me is by leaving a notemy talk page at wikipedia, letting me know to check the talk page somewhere else. Thanks for all your help. I appreciate it. --Sm8900 01:42, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * I've replied at w:c:ncdd:User talk:Sm8900. Angela talk 13:35, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Angela, why List of Wikia wikis was deleted? -- 17:50, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Because that wiki is only about Wikimedia projects. The list was moved to w:c:wikis:List of Wikia wikis. Angela talk 17:53, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Angela. just want to say thanks for setting up my admin rights. Appreciate it. Regarding the access for other users, you're right; these wikis should be accessible for other users. however, the concern which i expressed was based on one which arose in the original NCDD wiki. Back there, it was thought that the main text of important pages should be somewhat protected, with a sandbox area for uses by the general public. However, the ability of wikia to save previous revisions makes this somewhat unnecessary. So I appreciate it.


 * By the way, re the message by Slade above, I have a question. Sorry to sound a bit abstruse, or to add another layer to this. however, I'm a little amazed by all this. i had no idea there was another site called wikis, indexing all of these. I know one thing we have plenty of is catalogs. However, what would be the place to find a list of all domains related to wikia?


 * I have already found wikipedia, wikisource, wikibooks, wikiversity, etc, obviously, since those are linked to the main page of wikipedia. I also now there is wikis, wikia, and the wikia index, as well as nubio. Are there others? i hate to ask such a pesky question, but if I can find just one definitive index, that should settle it. I appreciate it. thanks. --Sm8900 21:05, 20 February 2007 (UTC)
 * btw, never mind, I'll look on Wikipedia. if there's any more inclusive source, I'd appreciate if you could let me know. however, no big deal. thanks. --Sm8900 21:55, 20 February 2007 (UTC)


 * There are many thousands of different wikis. For a list of the 2300 Wikia hosts, see List of Wikia. The Wikimedia projects are amongst the most well known, including Wikipedia, but they also host the projects listed at wikimedia.org. Some of the more popular wikis that are not part of Wikimedia or Wikia are listed at List of wikis. Angela talk 00:06, 21 February 2007 (UTC)

Dismiss tech
Hi, I sent a contact form on "dismiss tech", and since you replied, I decided to chat here. My objective with the dismiss tech is so that I could make a large blurb on the main page for newcomers so that they can get oriented, and which could be dismissed by returning users so that it would clean up the clutter. Sorry, I was unclear with what results I hoped for. Since I didn't see you make any changes on the novelas wikia, I assume it's done from whatever functions you have access to. Does that mean that the "tech" I'm aiming for is not possible? If it is, could you direct me to where there's information on how to make it work myself? Thanks so much!

Hello Angela, I was wondering could the Puppet Wikia be on the Wikia Highlights. We have over 350 articles and lots of content. Phillip chat 20:15, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Phillip. If you mean the highlights on the home page, I think you need to get some more users involved with your wiki first. An alternative for newer wikis is the Wikia news box. You can suggest a wiki for addition to that at Wikia news box suggestions. Angela talk 20:18, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Bureaucrat status just lets you make other users into admins. It doesn't enable you to manage or own the wiki and is not meant as a a reflection of status or hierarchy. Are there people that the community has chosen to be admins? Angela talk 00:42, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Lyrics Wiki
About the Song Lyrics Wiki I suggested:

Are all lyrics copyrighted so that nobody can even paste them on a website without permission? V-Rex 02:53, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Yes, usually lyrics are copyrighted. You can find some freely licensed music through creative commons though this includes music that can't be used commercially, so isn't allowed on Wikia or Wikipedia. Angela talk 03:17, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * But why it isn't allowed to just write out lyrics on a website without getting money for it or anything? V-Rex 03:22, 27 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Because of copyright law. Free content licensing is meant to help since it allows the copyright holder to say they are ok with you writing out their lyrics on a website without getting money for it (or they can choose to say you can do it even if you are getting money for it). Creative Commons explains more about this. Angela talk 04:16, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

You might have to semi-protect your user and talk pages

Then i gave You admin and just this morning I found every page on the compedia. If this was you you can expect a Perm. Ban and I will NEVER return to Wikia however if this was not you I am sorry. I've lost every page and my own account was banned. I have to go admin the MySQL to fix it so its offline for a while. WillSWC 21:04, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * This was not me! I expect if you check the IP you'll find it's the same person who has been spamming Wikia sites with your URL. Angela talk 21:11, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Wonderful to hear that. I couldn't believe you would. The Compedia's pretty much in pieces so we're banning the IP and then wiping the database because this spammer trashed about every page on the Wiki and deleted revisions. It was pure luck that i decided to login today. WillSWC 21:31, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Do you know how to undelete don't you? Unless he merged page histories, it should all be reversible. Make sure you deadmin that person since admins can still do damage even if they're blocked. Angela talk 21:36, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Yah, They merged most of the histories but its rather ok because we've removed them, and are in the process of restoring backups I made last month. they're a little old but better then the ASCII porn we have there now. Again sorry for thinking it was you. I should have known better. I have no idea why this hacker has taken such interest in the Compedia... WillSWC 21:50, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Cal Wiki
Hi, Angela. I've been very zealously building, along with others, the Calendars Wikia. Thanks for popping in and helping with some spamming, etc. It occurs that no one is a Bureaucrat or Admin, and it's not possible to delete pages or deal with serious vandalism at this point. Can I assume that task, please? Thanks! - Nhprman 22:35, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your prompt attention! - Nhprman 02:51, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Yu-Gi-Oh! Wikia Image
I wish I could take credit for the idea, but it was a joint effort from 2 of our best contributors. Looks a lot better than the old one, I have to agree.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 23:30, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Army wiki
I was browsing Central by using "Random page" function when I came across Army wiki. Well, the idea is good, but that wiki is a total desert! No admins or bureacurats, no pages, no logs...nothing! So, should it be closed down? I think that army stuff could go to WarWiki since armies are an important thing in wars. After all, the title of army wiki is "Army wiki - U.S Department of Defence wiki" and there are lots more armies than U.S Army or U.S Navy... :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 15:24, 4 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I recently emailed the founder about this to see if he still wants it. It might be best to merge it with military. Angela talk 16:00, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Renaming
Not sure where to ask this...*shrug* hope this is the right place. I know on Wikipedia there is a special page which allows Beauracrats to change other users' usernames. Do other wikis have this userpage? I can't seem to find it...lol :) this is what prompted me to ask... JalYt-Xil-Vimescarrot  17:45, 5 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but this isn't possible on Wikia since we have a shared user database. The user will need to relogin with a new name. Angela talk 20:51, 5 March 2007 (UTC)

I've responded - you know where, I hope. Should I give you link? Zephyrinus 21:10, 6 March 2007 (UTC)

#PuppetWiki
Hey Angela, Did you get the email i sent to Wikia about adding the new Puppet Wiki IRC channel? - Phillip chat 19:57, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I did. I'll be in the channel later to discuss it. Angela talk 21:13, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Bad title Pages

Wikia Anime Project's Technical Changes
A while back when I was starting to setup the Wikia Anime Project I posted 2 topics Forum:Anime Network and Forum:Wikia Anime (and Manga?) Project. I had requested 2 sitename/project namespace changes for the project. On the Animepedia Anime was going to be changed to Animepedia, to stop conflictions with interwiki, the possible future system for linking, and it's name being to generic. Also on the Narutopedia Naruto Wiki was going to be changed to Narutopedia. But because of what happened with Essjay and how long it's been, I'm not sure if the requests (Along with the issue of +'s not working in titles, which is alreay adressed in bugzilla) have got to the tech team. Dantman (Talk) 04:58, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Interwikis should never conflict with project namespaces anyway. They do right now, but that's top of the list to be fixed next week. Is the plus problem bug 395 or is there another report of this somewhere? Angela talk 07:10, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The actual thing about a conflicting thing is how the project spans multiple wikia. Anime: is an interwiki which leads to the animepedia. But it's also the project namespace for the animepedia. So while Anime:Naruto will lead you to the naruto article on the animepedia from any of the other wiki, which is quite a nice linking scheme. Using that on the animepedia will actualy bring you to Anime:Anime:Naruto. The issue lies within the fact that there are a lot of templates which are mirrored exactly between the wiki. My specific problem with the + was that there is a anime called Blood+, which while an article could be located at Blood there is also the Rockman.EXE set of anime. Of which go Rockman.EXE, Rockman.EXE Axcess, Rockman.EXE Stream, Rockman.EXE Beast, and Rockman.EXE Beast+ where Rockman.EXE Beast and Rockman.EXE Beast+ are different series. So without that + character fix (which I did see in bugzilla later after I stated about it) we'll have an issue with those anime, but yes that's the issue and it's nice to see that the fix has already been explained. The big reason that Anime: won't work as a namespace in the future is because of a system I outlined in the second forum topic. The intent is to create a system which will allow anime in the project to be linked to specialy from any wikia using a special system. Anime:Ranma 1/2:Ranma could lead to Anime:Ranma 1/2/Ranma, while Anime:Naruto:Naruto Uzumaki would actualy lead to w:c:Naruto:Naruto Uzumaki. Basicly meaning that any anime can be linked to using the same style of link and it would work whether the anime has it's own wikia or is located in the animepedia. But the issue is that for that to work, the system needs to use Anime: inside of the animepedia and /$1 in the interwiki will need to be changed to /Anime:$1. Dantman (Talk) 08:09, 9 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok. This is done now. Angela talk 11:56, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Wow, thanks. I never expected something that fast. Time to modify my wikiswitch function. Dantman (Talk) 20:57, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

I forgot to mention it because it slipped my mind, but among the things I requested was also google analytics for the 3 wikia in the project. I'm wondering how many people are actually viewing the Animepedia, I don't know if the InuYasha Wiki is actualy 99% dead, and it would be good to know the common browsers used to make sure the common browsers support @import inside of another @import which is used to include global styles into the wikia in the project.
 * Animepedia: UA-1285044-1
 * Narutopedia: UA-1285044-2
 * InuYasha Wiki: UA-1285044-3
 * Thanks again 10:49, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll look into this. It may be possible to get these stats directly onto the wiki rather than via analytics. Angela talk 21:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * We can't accept any more analytics codes, but instead I will put some stats at project:traffic for you on each of those wikis. Angela talk 16:00, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

A message from EVCHK
Hi, I don't know that why you are being a SYSOP since no one authorize you.

Anyway. I hope that you don't intervene our Wikia and we have a independent right to write an article.

Thanks!

Vandalism on Wikigrounds
Wikigrounds has suffered large amounts of spam over the past few weeks, most of it coming from 4chan users, as they recently planned to raid Newgrounds. I have protected the entire site twice (Known as a site lockdown on wikigrounds) and permanantly banned anybody who participates in them. I want to know if there is a way to change the site so that only registered users may edit pages. This will help a lot in preventing any future spam.--Fire 14:31, 10 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It's vandalism, not spam. I'll reply at w:c:newgrounds:user talk:Fire. Angela talk 16:01, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

LOTR Wiki
Hi Angela! I'm a user from the LOTR wiki under the name KingAragorn. It seems that our wiki has no sysops active at the moment, not since january anyway. I was wondering if you could make one of our active editors who have already proved themselves, to become a sysop - I suggest userRazor77 who has definetly proved him/herself a worthy contributor. Please reply on my LOTR wiki user talk page. KingAragorn


 * Hi again, I tried contacting User:Robin_Patterson on his wikia talk page, but has not replied, and as for User:FireBird his only contribuutions was to make the first main page in early 2005.

I'll let you know if they contact me in the future, and please reply on my talk page again. thanks, KingAragorn


 * I've sent an email to the LOTR bureaucrats. Let's wait a few days and see if they show up. Angela talk

New namespaces for muzyka
Hi. Please add the following three namespaces on Muzyka:


 * Data
 * Dyskusja daty
 * Lista
 * Dyskusja listy
 * Przypis
 * Dyskusja przypisu

Please pay attention on Polish declination (data -> daty, lista -> listy, przypis -> przypisu). You could also change Forum talk to Dyskusja forum, without declination this time. All prefixes are empty and addition won't crash with anything. Thanks. Szoferka 05:02, 11 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Emil has added these. Angela talk

Clock Crew Wikia
Dear Angela -

With regard to this Wikia or, more specifically, Clock Crew Talk Page - you were the last Team member to touch this Wikia, so I bring this to your attention, as I do not know if it is vandalism or not. And I do want to bring it to someone's attention if it is vandalism. Very confusing.

I respect your schedule, even though it might not seem like it: should I bring these matters to some other Team member's attention?

One last item: As you may or may not know, I have been going through all Wikias to see what is what. Many presume that visitors know what the subject matter of the Wikia is. Like Clock Crew - I don't know if it is a social group, an encyclopedia entry on time-pieces or a Clockwork Orange movie Fan site. It would be most helpful if someone could change the initial creation template to include language to encourage the site founder to include a one or two sentence description of the Wikia before they do anything else - is it about a comic, or game, or a computer programming language. AAARRRGGGHHH!!!

Anyway - thanks for your time. I'm all over the place these days, so please reply here (on this page) or the Clock Talk page - I'll try to watch that too.

Respectfully,

Zephyrinus 22:15, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The wiki is related to Newgrounds which has also suffered vandalism lately, so I expect a lot of this is vandalism. Considering there are no active admins on the site, it might be worth merging this with newgrounds since that wiki is a bit better able to look after itself. I'll talk to the community there about it. Angela talk


 * Again, should I bother you with vandalism stuff? Is there someone else in charge of that?


 * This is something else I direct toward you: Proboards Wikia - Lala page.  First this appears to be abandoned, but I'm more concerned about:  threatening to kill someone is a criminal offence, isn't it?  Should Wikia be a partner to this activity, even if in jest?  I direct this query to you because you restored this post after the spambot removed it.  Most things you do I understand, but this I don't - not that this is my job.  Nevertheless, my strength as a "newbie" is that I can "be bold" and raise these kinds of questions; and perhaps these kinds of questions should be raised from time to time.


 * And do, please, remember that I am sincere when I sign . ..


 * Respectfully,


 * Zephyrinus 22:21, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It's fine for you to come directly to me, especially if the wiki concerned has no active admins, though you could also post to the forums about it. The lala page was moved from Talk:Main Page and was just an odd comment from an unregistered user so I've deleted it. Angela talk 22:43, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your graciousness.


 * I must apologise for posting these comments on your Talk Page. Since my comments questioned the propriety of your actions, I think it would have been more proper for me to send you a personal e-mail rather than post to your public user page.  I will try to be more careful in the future.  But as my comments were in public, so must my apology be.


 * I expect that being a public wiki-figure subjects you to criticism - criticism which is more than offset by well wishes and thanks.


 * Respectfully, Zephyrinus 23:46, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Health Wiki
Just as matter of curiosity, what happened to the original health wiki? The address seems to lead to an entirely new website with no connection to user database. --Kirk 22:35, 12 March 2007 (UTC)


 * The wiki has moved over to the ArmchairGM format. I think any content is still there, but with a new type of main page that automatically displays the wiki's best content based on ratings made by visitors and editors. I'll get sannse to explain more since she has been working on these new magazine-style sites. Angela talk 02:08, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi. The content is being added to the new wiki today (all being well).  That will be the starting point of the content for the "book" part of the wiki, which is accessed by the tabs at the top.  At the moment it will be a bit buried under all the blank templates waiting to be filled in - but it will be there -- Sannse 19:52, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * It's been added. The old main page was added and then deleted (at "old main page") so it can be recovered if anyone wants it.  The other content is at the same page name as before -- Sannse 20:55, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Scheibenwelt - Wiki
Hi, I'm Bravomike (one of my bigger userpages is here at the German Version of Memory Alpha).

I'm interestet in the german Scheibenwelt-Wikia and created the first account there more than 3 months ago. I also left some notes there (one of them got deleted by you when you cleaned up some vandalism ;-) ) and edited some articles, but there was no response by anybody. I also tried to contact the founder of the wiki given at the Scheibenwelt-page here at wikia.com, but there was no response, too. His userpage is empty, and he don't seems interested in "his" wiki anymore, because if he has visited in the last weeks he would have noticed my work and my questions at his user-talk.

Could you please contact somebody responsible for this wiki, and if there is no one to contact, is there a way to "adopt" this wiki (sysop and that stuff)?

PS: Please tolerate my horrible English ;-)--Bravomike 19:02, 13 March 2007 (UTC)


 * I'll make you an admin there since the founder has never even edited. Angela talk 21:24, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

F1, The Formula 1 Wiki
Hi Angela, A week ago I requested a new wiki called F1, The Formula 1 Wiki. What I didn't realise was that it would take as longer than a week for a wiki request to be accepted. The reason for this message is that I wondered if you could have a look at my request for me, at your earliest convenience, as I had hoped to get the wiki up and running before the 1st Grand Prix of the season; which is this Sunday... Many Thanks, Simon...


 * I need to know your email address to make the wiki. Please can you put it in your preferences? Angela talk 17:44, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
