spotlight timing
In general it's taking about 2-3 months for the spots to go up right now. You can check the list occasionally to see when your wiki gets near the top and maybe tell the wiki then? -- Wendy (talk ) 01:57, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Copyright
Hi,

I'm looking for an experienced Wikia editor to check over the copyright details and templates at Battlefield Series Wiki to see if they are OK. I also need somebody to explain some of the licenses, especially the 'free' licenses. I was wondering if you could help, or point me in the direction of someone who could.

Please can you respond by email at thomasrbendall@yahoo.co.uk, it will be more convenient.

Thank You

CommunityStickies
Hi, I want to make sure that you see the announcement on the WikiStickies blog page about the new way to create your own CommunityStickies! You'd posted that you wanted a way to customize the stickies, and now you'll be able to make your own. Let me know if you have any questions about it! -- Danny (talk ) 21:56, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

stubs
Hi Brandon -- thanks for making sure you meet the criteria before you asked for the help with the skin - I really appreciate that :). For stubs, the first thing I do is add up how many stub-marked articles the wiki has; you've got 33 which is ok (but keep an eye on them -- the problem with marking stubs is they never get unmarked). Next I look at the Short Pages list. My basic criteria is that a non-stub should be over 300 bytes but that can be skewed by template use, so I also look to see that there is actually some information given on the page and at least a few sentences of text and ideally a picture. The goal is simply to make sure that a visitor browsing by "Random Page" gets interesting results and one who is clicking a link from another page doesn't waste the click. I think your wiki is ok from what I see although a trifle lacking in pictures :).

I do find all of your off-wiki links (to starwars and wikipedia most often) slightly worrisome; while it is useful to link people to information it is generally not good to drive them away from the wiki without warning. I got offsite in about 3 clicks without trying. There is no indication whether a link is internal or not.... You might consider, on some of the more obvious ones (like George Lucas) creating a short page with information that is particularly relevant to the fan side of things and a link from there to the page on wookiee, labeled so the visitor knows they are going off-wiki. Just a thought, and not really related in any way to requesting help with the skin :). -- Wendy (talk ) 02:52, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Template Help
Hello! my wiki is RFM Wiki AJona1992 02:10, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Inappropiate content
Excuse Brandon Rhea excuse me but I got a problem on http://deviantart.wikia.com/wiki/Special:MyHome with these two users TGcomix and NOTHALCYON, but im not sure about user Brainwurms but they have been putting down inappropiate articles and vulgar language so if you could go over to the deviantart wikia log in and check out My Home you will find the content, please do something about it thx:) AmyPinkRose 5/3/10 1:04 P.M.

And I also had to delete some of it so please go look at the [4] (different version icon) icon in the My Home page thx AmyPinkRose 5/3/10 1:10 P.M.

Also I just figured out that the user Ultimate Super Mario who I think is the administrator has not had the website active since November 14, 2009AmyPinkRose May 4, 2010 11:35 P.M.

Also I found in the gallery some inappropiate pictures, but I cannot delete them so if you could please delete them for me if you can. Look below the deviantart's wikia picture New Pictures (Below) AmyPinkRose May 4, 2010 11:58 P.M.
 * New pictures


 * TGcomix and Brainwurns are DeviantArt users who were trolling NOTHALCYON. Mudkipsplz is a affiliate of NOTHALCYON and me. I recommend that both you and AmyPinkRose stay out of this, since neither of you fully understand the situation. Since AmyPinkRose blanked my user page instead of leaving a message, I now have to fix this mess a day late. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:29, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

User admin.
I am unable to get an account on the wiki, but I would like to become an admin. I post comments on lots of blogs, and I sign all of my comments either with -LauraTrealawny- or -LT- so people know who I am. Can people who are not members become admin.?

The link you suggested can't be it. My gruntipedia is at http://unhalo.wikia.com. Plus another user here has already said I'm now an admin.

I sort of turned away from Fanon Wiki. I'm still active there, but I migrated to FinalFantasy Wiki and several others as well that are linked to on my userpage on FF Wiki. I have also created a Wiki - the Buzz! Wiki -, but it's still in it early phases. A user from FF Wiki is helping me out with the templates and stuff. On another note, where is the link for your story again? I know it's on SWFanon, but I haven't read any of it in forever, so I don't know if anything got updated. A.J. two 15:21, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

1-000 Year Ban!
Excuse me, administrators Oerwinde and GOPZACK gave me a one-thousand year ban! Now, they said I was harassing a couple of users. Well, I apologized to those users and I did nothing wrong, and one of the administrators even gave me a one-day free-period to let all my bad words and spamming out. But now Oerwinde and GOPZACK are banning me for one millennium! Can you please look into it? --Catherine 15:26, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you very much. I am going to make a post in the official MAG forums this Friday(My ban is up that day, long story short, the MAG forums has one of the worst moderation teams. I was just speaking up)BlackSoulBlade 20:42, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

We are still waiting on the Rights. On a side note, 1 of my brothers, My Dad, and Granddad are Eagle Scouts(Well Granddad doesn't really count as they changed the requirements during WWII to, Join the Military). Another one of my Brothers is about to be an Eagle Scout(He's just waiting for all of the recomendations, and his Board of Review). And The Same Brother and my Father are in the Brotherhood. My father was the 1st Eagle Scout in Troop 108, and My Brother will be the last Eagle under the current Scout Master. Blinzy45 07:08, July 11, 2010 (UTC)

No, I was never really into scouting, I was Wolf Cub though. My dad is still pushing though, hypothetically if everything went absolutely right I could make Eagle by 18, but it is damn near impossible. Blinzy45 07:14, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Eagle Scout
If you don't mind me asking, what troop were you in? I spent most of my time with 78, but I had to move, and got Eagle with 107. You've probably never heard of either, but I didn't see the harm in asking. 13:49, July 10, 2010 (UTC)

Nerf Wikia: Something to say
Hello! I would like to tell you something about the Nerf wikia.

I contacted an admin, and asked him if i could become an admin. He said he could not, only the guy who adopted the wikia can, but he said that he wont be back online for a very, long time. So i cant even become an admin.

I have a odd, but smart idea. Could you let me adopt the wiki, but if the original bureaucrat come back, i will give it back. Can that work?

Thank you

Brandon, I got your message and I appreciate the info, but I'm still confused. you see, I made up a story set in 2039 and I want to create a wiki about it. But, I don't think it would work because no one else knows about it. And if I made a wiki, people wouldn't be able to edit it. I've read the help wiki's pages, but overall i'm about... 73% sure on what to do. When you can, please send me a detailed response.

Nerf Wiki
Hello, I am Cpt. Riley. I am an avid admin of the Nerf Wiki. I helped make it a better Wiki by adding pages and deleting spam and undoing vandaslism. I think that it is a really nice Wiki, but It has one problem, we have hardly any editors. There is about one more editor than me who cares. The bureacruat (excuse my grammar) Troyl, just adopted it. I have been sending him messages, and still no reply. He has been inactive for about two weeks. I would just like to know if their is anyway to "advertise" the Nerf Wiki. I would like it to become more popular. Nerf is a very popular subject, but I do not think people know of the Nerf Wiki. If you can think of any way for people to see the Wiki. I have trying to advertise it on YouTube, other Wikis and Facebook. Still, no response of editors responding. I'm not asking you to put an ad on the Main page of this Wiki saying "Go to the Nerf Wiki". I just would like to know if you could make it more noticeable like in the "Toys" category, could it be there? Sorry to waste your time, but I am trying to get the Wiki a least bit noticeable.

Thanks,
