Any other information:

1) Fourth request. Let's hope it works this time.

2) This wiki is not affiliated with the official Primeval wiki and is just a collection of fan-made Primeval episodes.

3) The reason why I want to adopt this wiki is to preserve this fan-made wiki from future vandalism attacks and make navigation much easier (in case someone stumbles upon the wiki, like how I did, and wants to visit all of the pages). The navigation on the wiki is horrendous if I have to be honest, and the pages that are usually shown only show a small fraction of the entire wiki. I want to make it easier so people can see all of the wiki's pages.

4) Joebowers2000, the founder and only admin/bureaucrat on the wiki, was the primary creator/editor of all of the wiki pages but he hasn't been on the wiki since July 21, 2016 (a little over 4 years now).

5) During my 3+ weeks of editing, I created at least 2 new articles (that I remember): Camouflage and Surprise: Part 1 (NW Episode 5.9) and Camouflage and Surprise: Part 2 (NW Episode 5.10). The former article hasn't been worked on as much as the latter article, but I will get to it (eventually). My current focus is on the fan-made episodes based on the original Primeval show and not the Canadian spin-off (Primeval: New World), so it may take some time before I get back to editing these articles.

6) The last person on the wiki that wasn't me was a random Fandom user, on November 14, 2020, at 00:59, who added categories to an article that I am currently deciding whether or not should be worked on or deleted if I do end up adopting this wiki (link to the aforementioned article: ☀https://primeval-the-reboot.fandom.com/wiki/Suchomimus).

7) However, the last registered Fandom user to have stopped by the wiki was a user called GojiraStudios (link to their profile: ☀https://primeval-the-reboot.fandom.com/wiki/User:GojiraStudios), on September 21, 2020, at 06:59. Unfortunately, I had to tell them off in what I felt was a harsh/mean way, which may or may not had influenced them to not come back, because they had added several irrelevant articles on the wiki, two of which were plagiarizing the Indominus rex (☀https://primeval-the-reboot.fandom.com/wiki/Indominus_Rex) and Indoraptor (☀https://primeval-the-reboot.fandom.com/wiki/Indoraptor) articles from the Jurassic World Wiki (I had deleted the articles' contents, but the articles are still there. You can check the article histories and compare the entries under GojiraStudios to the articles on the Jurassic Park Wiki (links will be provided)). Although it wasn't my intention to chase them off of the wiki, I felt like what this user was doing was borderline/straight-up vandalism, and that I had no other option but to do what I thought was right and stop this user from adding more irrelevant articles/content onto the wiki. I actually feel kind of guilty doing that since Fandom is all about building communities and helping fandoms grow, and yet what I did was just the opposite. I tried to be civil during my initial contact with the user, but after they ignored me and added more irrelevant content on the wiki, I had to be a bit harsher and assertive with them. However, after doing some digging across the Fandom wikis, I discovered that this user has a past of plagiarizing articles, inserting false information on official or personal wikis, vandalism, theft of renders and posting them on official wikis, altering articles after warnings, and making unnecessary edits, and is blocked on several wikis (the most recent block was this past Sunday, November 29, 2020, on the Anomaly Research Centre/Official Primeval Wiki). I will provide links of this user's block logs for all relevant wikis. Although I know my behavior while dealing with this user was subpar of Fandom's expectations, and it may affect my chances of adopting this wiki, looking over this user's track record now, I feel like my actions, in a way, were somewhat justified, even if I didn't know what kind of user this person was then, and I don't really regret it as much as I did back then. I know this will sound like a sob-story, but that is not my intention. I just want to get some things straight, explain myself, and give whoever processes this request some context while they look over everything on this wiki.

 * I'm super sorry, but someone who's on their 4th attempt at this, and is giving a wall of text itemising a single user's block history across the Fandom network, is not someone we can promote to admin. Being an admin is decidedly not about punishing other users, or dismissing people as "random". It's mostly about growing and building a community. It's highly unclear to me, based on this application, that you have this quality.


 * Please don't reapply for an adoption for at least six months. That should give you time to moderate your views by reading the several blogs and help files you will find on this wiki about the qualities an admin needs to have.
