(Thanks for the post, I came here today looking to discuss this)

The email says " the admins of Wikia's biggest and most successful communities. ", so I believe it's the size of the wiki, although I would still like to know the criteria.

I've checked the list of wikis by number of pages, and the wiki I admin is the 736th largest english wiki by number of articles. So maybe they sent the email to the admins of the top 1000 wikis. By edits this month, it's 326th. (Also, it says there are 1500 articles, but there are only 1022.)

I agree that additional blogs would be better than emails. Admins of large wikis are still just ordinary users and should not be treated any differently.

I took the poll, and was amused at the option "I would like to have my emails to Wikia, as a top admin, answered faster than others" - I'm hoping that question is just there so Wikia staff can identify which admins have entitlement issues. I make a lot of bug reports, but I have no problem waiting in line for a response.

I appreciate wikia giving extra attention to admins, but to do so at the exclusion of non-admins is unjust and goes against the established creed that "admins aren't special".

Edit: I understand that because the poll is asking "as an admin, how can we help you?", it's sensible to exclude non-admins.

Edit: Updated and trimmed some of the fat.
