Legal Terms
Angela, I'm from SUWiki where you contacted me about chaging the license. THANK YOU THANK YOU, I really don't know what I'm doing, but I'm trying hard. However, I don't understand quite what I need to do. Lets say I want all text, ideas, images/files, to be freely distributable and modifiable. Is that adviseable? If that is ok, how would I write the license to be legally accurate? Do I just put in the words "Free Content" with a link to the freecontent definition site you gave me? Any help would be great, as I'm pretty clueless with legal terms. Chris Fullmer

Admin question for Halo
Hi Angela! I'm just wondering how to change the logo for the Halo wikia? Do you have to be admin to do this? If so who is the admin? Thanks for your time. Esemono 15:42, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

The House of Fanon
In the last two months Ive been here at this Wiki the election for administrators has not stopped. And yet we have a war, the Vandal War going on right behind us. We cant entrust simple users to take out vandals, what if they just want glory and fame. It could be them. Than the administrators, what if they don't like eachother or dont work together or if theyre power hungry vandals than what? We need a goverment not individual governors. The goverment is called the House of Fanon representide by two partys, the Typhillian Council and the Fanon Council. We meet their, take opinions from users and other stuff to make this community better.- Darth Vacatour
 * I disagree with Vacatour, we do need admins. Otherwise the wiki will just collapse from Vandal attacks. If the two "houses" disagree then we'll see and end to the SWF wiki. Admins should stay. &mdash; Jasca Ducato

Thats why users and members of the council will bring us together. Administrators disagree but find ways to work together, so can we.
 * You've basically just proven my point. Why bother changing just for one wiki. it should stay as it is. But its up to Angela and co. &mdash; Jasca Ducato

As you probably know, some users are trying to organize a government on SW Fanon Wiki to replace admins. Not that I speak for the whole Wiki but I'm just saying that if the House of Fanon is approved, when we finally get admins they'll be good for nothing, so says what the house is saying. Anyway, it's your descision, the house right now or admins later. Not trying to be rude or put pressure on you. MaulYoda

Apologizing for Prop 270
I have had a change of heart. Proposition 270 is no longer in effect and administrators will stay. However The House of Fanon will stay and work as a sub goverment beneath the administrators. Hopefully we can also work with The Fanon Council. Sincerly apologizing, DV

I say get rid of the whole thing and keep the fanon council until we get admins, which is going to be a while. But it's your call. MaulYoda

Why can't I post new articles.
There are a couple of things I might want to do on New York, but discover I cannot post, only edit. Why? I've been around awhile, elsewhere in the wikiverse, and did login here a couple or three days ago.

So much of this is abandoned real estate.--Allamakee Democrat 04:03, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

When I'll blog about the Campaigns Wikia
Hi Angela! I'll gladly blog about this place once I figure out what its character is going to be. I want to make sure there will be healthy discussion rather than violent deletion of opposing viewpoints.

Blogging about Campaigns Wikia
Angela, thanks for the prompt welcome to the site.

I've now added a link to Campaigns Wikia to the top of the Start Page of the PDParty.us wiki, and put a new article about this effort on my blog. I'm very excited by what could come from this, and I plan to do whatever I can to make it work.

eek. changed your education entry around a bit.
Hello there!

I'm a wiki newbie.

I changed your initial education entry quite a bit. I didn't change what you wrote, I only changed where it is.

Don't know if this is ok?

Thanks,

Bill

DMCA.
Greets, I've suggested DMCA as a campaign in the forum in the first post. I thought it would be a good topic for folks to work on as it is international in impact and as bloggers and wikifolk we would be all likely to share some appreciation of what peer to peer and freedom of info can be about.?

you bad bot - you
--Gil 06:50, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Angela, Thanks for your help. I'm still curious to know if the Wikia forums are indeed "threaded." When I think of threaded, I think of the mail clients and news readers (Thunderbird, for example) that display email, listserve, USENET postings, etc with the subject headings indented to indicate the chronology,who's responding to whom, etc. --Artie 19:04, 8 July 2006 (UTC)

Vandal
Sorry to bother you, but the Star Wars Fanon Wiki is being vandalized, at the moment. The vandal has produced multiple accounts, and is assaulting this wiki. Please help us. 154.5.130.212 23:49, 9 July 2006 (UTC)

Please help sw fanon. He keeps unbanning himself. Please I tried alone but i cant suceed. He destroyed my user page.- DV

Switch func broken
I have a rather extensive system set up involving the function on the D'ni Wiki, and it all seems to have come tumbling down when the function showed instead a Template:Switch:bla link, which obviously doesn't exist. Is this your or another staff member's doing, is this a php problem (?), or is this a side effect of moving to the function? (If it is the latter, hooray!) —Marco Polo 19:15, 10 July 2006 (UTC)


 * The syntax of parser functions has changed (actually it changed soon after they were introduced, although Wikia was stuck with that particular version for a long while). Se ParserFunctions (however, they are still be broken temporarily while the upgrade is finalized). --Splarka (talk) 22:40, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Featuring the Psychology Wiki
Hey Angela,

Sorry to hear about you leaving Wikimedia Foundation. I hope you are still happy working with the Wikia stuff, which you have been very useful and helpful with :) I just nominated the Psychology Wiki to be featured here: Featured wikia and was wondering how we get it to be featured?  Do we need lots of our contributors to second the nomination?

I also asked Jim Wales to take a look at us and see what he thinks. I think he will like the idea as he always goes on about free knowledge and stuff like that.

Helping us to get featured in August, or something along those lines would be great :) We really need more contributors!  I am on a massive marketing spree at present...

Help with cross wiki templates
Hi Angela,

I'm trying to create a cross-wiki template for politics that can be used to navigate around the political wikiasphere. (hey, new term!) Can you help me format the link to Portal:Politics on Template:Politics so that it will work from inside other wikia? Chadlupkes 22:31, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Spam Filter
Hi, there. As you may know, a vandal organization known as the ISV is attacking various wikis. They, as they state, are planning to attack each of the 1500 wikis, and that must be prevented. When they vandalize, a message is posted with various 'recruitment' information. I'd like to prevent this message from ever being distributed. If you could filter a few words/phrases for me, that would be great.

1: imwithbobby@yahoo.com 2: overthrow of the current Administration of the Wikimedia 3: VandalBots 4: We will continue to rebel against tyranny 5: tyrannical Administrators 6: We vandalize to bring about positive and pure change to the Wikimedia system. 7: THIS PAGE HAS BEEN LIBERATED 8: Long live the International Society of Vandals (ISV)! All of these words/phrases appear in the recruitment message, and I'd like to filter them. If you could do that, we would all appreciate it. Thank you. 154.5.130.212 00:41, 12 July 2006 (UTC)

Admin on fr.matf
Angela, can you make me administrator of the website http://fr.math.wikia.com (I am the founder of this website) ? Thank you !Clembou (Moved from Szoferka 11:15, 12 July 2006 (UTC))

Vandals?
Hey Angela. Just wanted to let you know, my blog vanished from the "list of participating bloggers." Could be an honest mistake, but you might want to be on the lookout for people vandalizing the page. I stuck it back there for now, and I'll keep an eye on it. Compaqdrew 20:27, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
 * It was this pair of edits which seems to have been the problem. It looks like a browser bug but might have been intentional. I'll re-add them --Splarka (talk) 22:11, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

Desysop
Yes, it's me on irc. Szoferka 04:47, 15 July 2006 (UTC)

Category:Draft
Hi Angela,

I just found Category:Draft, and I just want to know if that is what you used, when you created the Perl Wikia for me. That way, by reading all about Category:Draft, I might have a better idea of all that you started me out with.

Thanks,

You may have recently heard that a Vandal War has broken out across wikimedia. The English Wiki, Memory Alpha, and Wookiepedia, as well as SW Fanon which suffered most of the attacks, have been attacked. At SW Fannon we created a Proposition called Prop 3 which allows users to put like a block or shield over there articles and user pages, this would stop vandals from vandalizm. The only way anyone else but the author can edit the page is if he asks on the talk page. This could be a excellent start and we have large crowds voting especially in support. I beg youll allow the prop to go through. Im guessing putting up a protect block. - DV

Yeah hey, Prop 3 has been passed on SWFanon so we need you to make like a special template that will allow users to protect their own articles and user pages to make sure noone else touches them without permision. Okay, thanks from SW Fanon - DV

Bloggers Against Censorship Admin Rights
Could you please give admin rights to a few more people (Angelo, dinamehta, Peter & BalaPitchandi) who are maintaining the Bloggers Against Censorship Wiki. BalaPitchandi 13:16, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Admin Rights
Angela,

This is a request from the team at the Bloggers Against Censorship to please give admin privileges to the following persons:

We're a bunch of folks who have been developing the tsunamihelp.info and katrinahelp.info wikis and are well-versed in Wiki etiquette and handling. We would like to help Vulturo, who is part of our Collective in handling vandals which are happening by the minute and making entries. The persons we need admin privileges for:


 * Zigzackly
 * Bala Pitchandi
 * Angelo
 * Amit Agarwal
 * Dina Mehta

This is really urgent as we are getting tons of media attention coming here ... and want to ensure the correct information is in there.

Many thanks

Dinamehta 13:26, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Ditto --Vulturo 16:28, 19 July 2006 (UTC)

Bot flag
Could you please assign bot flag to User:Edwardspec TalkBot for Absurdopedia and Chronology wikis? It performs various automated text replacements in articles - something like "+-" => "±" etc. 17:29, 19 July 2006 (UTC)
