Forum:AR:Adoption request for Lil'Kingdom Wiki

A concerned message from OneStormyNight and JentheCopyCat,

Link to wiki: http://lilkingdom.wikia.com/wiki/Lil%27_Kingdom_Wiki

I am reopening a request that I felt was unreasonably closed. Here is the previous request and why I felt it was unfair to close it:

http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:AR:Adoption_request_for_Lil%27_Kingdom_Wiki

Since we first started transforming the wiki, we knew we wanted to be admin, as the current admin hasn't logged in since April. Starting August, after having plenty of edits to back us up, we attempted to try for admin. Yes, Jen did get busy, so I even sent in my own request, which has been left untouched since August. Here is my request:

http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:AR:Adoption_request_for_Lil%27_Kingdom_App_Wiki

When you say "in about a week", we are expecting that. But every time you come back to the response it is way more than that. I understand you have billions of wikis to look over, but when you give us your word saying "in about a week", that's what people are expecting.

What was really frustrating was that you said from September 4th, edit for a week, and I did plenty of editing, maybe too much to where I had to think of things to edit. Waiting for the week, school started and I got distracted. That's my bad. Until I almost thought we would never get a response, we get a response at September 22, saying the request will be closed because I haven't edited in a while. But I edited in the week I was requested to, and I know I had to slow the edits a bit. But a warning would have been nicer since we were untouched until you decided we should be closed.

And to really look at reality, I'm the only one editing the wiki after all this time. I don't see why I'm being denied so much after all this work. It really makes me feel like my efforts are nothing unless I edit within your time limit (which I did do so).

The response message that you probably never got because the edits were in "closed requests" explain everything else in the link with JentheCopyCat's request. We even replied that very next day you closed it, in the wee early morning.

I don't mean for this to flame at you guys, I'm just really upset that I keep getting rejected.

If you need this information again:

Name: OneStormyNight Edits: 624+ (some while not logged in) How long have you been editing: 4-5 months Current Admin: Ashley1032, last logged on and last edited April 29, 2012.

Thank you for listening to me, I really do want admin, and have been slowly editing because the information for the game itself has gone slow. We have been requesting since mid August and we still want admin.

Just checking in since it has been a while. My edits went to to 651+. Still waiting on admin.

It's been another week; Jen and I are still waiting for a response. I added this page into the category, hoping to finally get a response. Still waiting on admin.

 * Hi. The requests for adoption are very backed up, which is why we didn't get back to yours in a week (and that was a mistake on my part as I usually just say we'll check back "one more time" for this exact reason, so I apologize that it was misleading).


 * You guessed correctly that we don't revisit the closed requests. Should this situation ever arise again please leave me a message on my wall, so I will see it and we can work through the issues.  We understand about real life sometimes getting busy but we have to know what's going on first :).  You hadn't responded on the request at all so I had no idea if you even saw the messages.  In this case, it was also very important that we see Jen stating that she was ok with the adoption, given that she made the initial request.  The forum was for us, not you :)


 * So I apologize for the frustration you have gone through over this. Thank you for getting Jen to post in the forum so we were sure she was ok with the adoption, and also for continuing to work on the wiki. I've given you the rights, and good luck to both of you with the wiki! -- Wendy  (talk ) 04:20, October 24, 2012 (UTC)
