Any other information:

Firstly, our admin hasn't showed up in the last six months. Secondly, there's an user there ("Ctlftr") that constantly uploads Bluto-centric pictures, many of them dirty drawings ranging from the homoerotic to the sadomasochistic to borderline nudity (eg. ""). Or thinly-covered penis pictures ("") as well as altered and unaltered cartoon captures. But even in the latter's case they may come with suspect names (like ""). Now I have posted quite a few pro-Popeye anti-Bluto images just to bother Ctlftr, but I won't litter the articles with them. My ambition is to have Popeye Wiki be a complete and informative encyclopedia not just copypasted from others. This user's every edit aims to "beautify" Bluto and deprecate Popeye (even getting blocked elsewhere for similar activities). If I become admin there I promise to clean it from all such inappropriate files, perhaps not blocking this person outright since they sometimes create detailed and articulate articles (with the suspect writing/images that I often have to edit out). Keep in mind that this is one of the wikis that got locked to non-users for being child-friendly!

Hello! There appears to be a few other contributors at this wiki. You need to make a blog/forum post/announcement of some sort explaining your intentions to adopt the wiki, so others can give their input, and comment. It's best to make a blog or forum about your adoption than individual messages so there can be consensus in one place. You should let the announcement run for 1 week. If you do make a discussion, leave the link here so Staff can review it. Also, if you have issues with a spammer/vandal/user adding false information, contact the VSTF at their wiki, and they might be able to help you. Good luck!


 * Thanks a lot, I made a blog post (there's no forum there). In fact, I went to the VSTF Wiki first & they said it was a "social problem" & suggested I adopt.186 contributor (talk) 23:21, December 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * Great job with the blog (linking it for Staff). Good luck!


 * Why, thank you!186 contributor (talk) 03:21, December 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hello. Most of those images are not against Wikia's Terms of Use; I have deleted a couple that were.


 * That said, you cannot adopt a wikia if you are in the middle of an argument with another of the contributors there. If you cannot find a way to agree on one of you getting promoted, then you need to pick a more neutral contributor to adopt the wikia instead. Please let me know on my wall when you have all agreed on one person to adopt. -- Wendy  (talk ) 07:14, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi! I don't see that happening since there are very few regular contributors. I don't know if ours is an argument, I just think what he does is wrong (qualifies as a continuous effort to distort the facts) & try to counter him whenever I can. He has been banned from other wikis for such activities, so perhaps if I can't do it maybe some of you could block him? (tried VSTF already)186 contributor (talk) 20:32, December 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Some news: our admin showed up a couple days ago, undid some work on a page by the other guy, and was never seen again. Maybe this denies my claim? Or maybe it validates it??186 contributor (talk) 20:22, January 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * Hello again. While I've decided I no longer want to be an admin there, for several reasons, I think one is still necessary (since the appointed one disappeared years ago). I believe The Forgotten Beast could take the position, and is willing to. I found his edits at the Popeye Wiki valuable and reasonable- yet many ended up undone. As you can surmise there's plenty of controversy going on there and we users end up working things out among ourselves, however, I still believe that the Wikia admins format is beneficial and that he's well suited for the job.186 contributor (talk) 04:50, September 8, 2016 (UTC)
