Lostpedia - Jabrwocky7
Yeah, I don't think he's suitable to be an admin over at Lostpedia - basically he created a stupid page on a box on a wikia based on Lost the TV show. So I suggested to delete it and he tells me to "get the fuck off" and then I say why it should be deleted and he says "if it annoys you so much, I can block you for the rest of the day". Clearly I didn't do anything wrong; he did and then he threatens to block me... I think you should consider letting him keep his privileges. -> Evidence is here http://lostpedia.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:The_Box#Delete -- Julietfan2626

You should send this to Special:Contact--

Could you do it for me, I have no idea what to do :) -- Julietfan2626

Tekken wiki and other wikis
It has come to my attention,that there is a hacker,in the wikis it's best if you guys look into this,the hacker goes by many IP's(Hangingmanpeter0 23:03, April 1, 2011 (UTC))


 * The odds of hacking a wiki are extremely remote. However, please send this to Special:Contact with as much information you have. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:22, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia Wikis on IRC
Hey dude. I has an idea to use the layout of the Wikis on Facebook page to make a page for Wikia Wikis on IRC. Here's a link. May I improve it a bit and add it into the namespace so that other Wikis can add their channels? Thanks! -- Zombie talk • blog 10:23, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * That looks like it could be a good idea. I'll bring it up with the rest of the community team to see what they think. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:00, April 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Pleasure and thanks. -- Zombie talk • blog 18:38, April 5, 2011 (UTC)

Save GTA Wiki please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The admin A-Dust sent a take down request for articles to Wikia because I copied articles from www.grandtheftwiki.com to this wiki, but this is not copyrighted to them, they have no right to delete these articles, they are not the owners of any information, its rockstar that owns all the names and information, and the articles they have are created by users just like here. So please consider this first please before deleting any article here, they just doen't want any benefit to Wikia or this wiki, they jut want to destroy it!: here's a link to what he said: http://gta.wikia.com/Talk:Liberty_City/New_York_Landmarks thanks.

www.grandtheftwiki.com is a website they made because of a dispute between them and wikia and took all the articles that this wiki has, there. So there is no reason for them to delete articles, it's not copyrighted to them if it is a violation to any copyright law then they must delete their's.WikisEditor 21:40, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Applause
About time someone actually did something with that blog. Good work sir.--

Could you review my promotion request on GTA Wiki
Here's a link: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Community_Central:Adoption_requests#Bureaucrat_Promotion_Request.


 * Hi. We look at adoption requests in the order that they're posted. We'll get to yours as soon as possible. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:28, April 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Brandon, ignore this. Dopp took care of his adoption request but he is not happy they chose not to give him Bureaucrat rights, only admin rights.--

Archer Wiki
Hi Brandon, I apologize if this is inappropriate, but on the Adoption page you mentioned we might be able to review my request to adopt the Archer Wiki on April 15th. I notice a lot of requests that are on hold haven't gone anywhere, so I wasn't sure what the procedure was to get a review, do I post another request? Mine was the request to adopt the Archer Wiki. And I posted on update with the things you said I should follow up on.

43 Adopt the Archer Wiki (on hold)

 * Today's the 15th, so sometime today we'll be able to look at it. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 17:35, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

You Don't like Me When Im Frustrated
Hey Brandon, do you know any way to change the names of pictures? It is REALLY frustrating putting the names of them in the character templates when the names are just a bunch of random letters & numbers(Well, I guess it's partly my fault cause Im the one who uploaded them that way,...ButThatsNotTheMatterHere!!) So, can you help me out?

Guradian1098 04:46, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hey. If you're an admin, you can rename them the same way you can rename a page, using the "Edit" button on the file information page. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 04:49, April 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright, Gotcha. But if I remember correctly, Small Owl, Gunius and I will be made admins on Guardians of GaHoole Wiki, Am I right? I remember from here. --Guradian1098 03:52, May 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * You don't need to keep changing the timestamp on your message. I replied to the adoption request 2 days ago and I'm currently awaiting a response. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 03:56, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Wikia Deletion
I have two wiki's the Rex The Runt Wiki and the Ball Hockey Wiki. While the Rex The Runt wiki is small time and nobody goes there yet I'm planning on making it useful. But the Ball Hockey Wiki is about extremely minor youth ball hockey leagues and I was wondering how to delete it as not to clog up room on Wikia.

Tyler2513 23:29, May 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * You don't have to worry about taking up room, there's more than plenty! But if you do want it closed, you can send a request from the wiki to Special:Contact asking for it to be closed. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 23:43, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

I am having a hard time as an admin
Greetings, I am the admin of GTA Wiki, and I am having a hard time as one, I would like to be promoted as bureacrat please, I can't promote other people or edit the MediaWiki or anything, Wikia was testing me so they gave me just admin rights and I think I made a great job, I stoped vandalism, and I think the wiki is getting alot better now, User:Bola should be helping me but he doesn't log in much, last time I told him to promote people for me he didn't reply or did promote them. Me and The Tom are having things under control and I think I deserve the promotion, this wiki needs more admins and there are few Me and The Tom think they deserve to become one, thanks.WikisEditor 11:47, May 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Admins are allowed to edit in the MediaWiki namespace. As for the rest of your message, you may wish to talk with Merrystar instead, as she's the one who gave you the rights.


 * The only thing a Bureaucrat can do that an admin can't is change user rights. MediaWiki is freely available to be changed by admins.--

RE: Dublicate Wiki
Brandon, in response to your email about the issue I contacted Wikia about, request contact number 18965, or at least I think that is the number you guys use for that. After just a quick discussion, we think it would be better all around for you to make the contact, so if you wouldn't mind doing that, we'd appreciate that. Thanks in advance.

Freeware Catalog
Many years ago I started a wiki called Freeware Catalog.

The interest from those who wanted me to start it died down after some time and

it has been dormant for several years. I tried to transfer the responsibility for this wiki to those who were most interested many times but to no success. But now and then a new user finds it and writes

something on his talkpage and every time it happens I get an email about the change.

I want to get this wiki off my watchlist but cannot find any way to do that as my watchlist is empty.

Please try to disconnect me from this wiki so I don't get any more emails about it.

For many years after I ended my participation in this wiki I have been active in wikipedia and has started a opensourcing religious wiki with another usernamene, Roger491127, and I don't want these messages from a distant past to clutter my email inbox.

Roger Johansson roger4911@gmail.com

I have now gone into my preferences in this wiki and unchecked all emails about pages I was following, but I fear it will not be enough because I get emails about userpages I was not following.
 * Turn off email notifications in your preferences.--

If you can remove me from all positions in this wiki it might help.

Roger Johansson roger4911@gmail.com

As long as emails are not active, you will not receive emails. You can also change the email address of the account as well and set it to a nonexistent email.--

I thought about that too, just before I fell asleep. If Wikia doesn't accept a non-existent email account I have a spam-infested email account I never use. Thanks.

Roger J.


 * Wikia does accept non-existant email addresses.
