Greek uncyclopedia wiki request
Hi Angela! We want to start a greek version of encyclopedia as a new wiki and I would like your opinion on how to fill the request form. I was thinking about the following: The Greek name should probably be "Ανεγκυκλοπαίδεια". Should i use that as Title? Also could I declare Greek as the default language or is it better to have it in English and then try to translate all the system messages? What do you suggest? Thanks. --Dada 11:00, 24 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Name of the wiki: uncyclopedia.el
 * Title: Uncyclopedia (?)


 * How would you transliterate Ανεγκυκλοπαίδεια? The URL needs to be in the Latin alphabet (something like anegkyklopaideia perhaps?). Angela (talk) 11:24, 24 February 2006 (UTC)


 * anegkyklopaideia is "correct". --Dada 11:44, 24 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I've sent you an email with the details. Angela (talk) 12:33, 24 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. We have already started. One last question. How can we ask for a change in the translation of a namespace? For example the namespace Image (ns:6) should be Εικόνα instead of Εικόνες. Also, there is an ongoing discussion about a possible change of the name Ανεγκυκλοπαίδεια, so there is a chance that we will also need to change ns:0 in the near future. Best regards. --Dada 18:15, 24 February 2006 (UTC)


 * The quickest way if I'm not around (and I'll be online less over the next week) is to use Special:Contact to ask for these changes. Angela (talk) 18:33, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Adopt A Wiki
hmmm, both the Hitman and the Dune wikis interest me. Any ideas on both? - SGCommand


 * Hello. What sort of ideas are you looking for? Perhaps you could just think of some content that doesn't duplicate what Wikipedia already has on these topics and write that for the wiki(s). Angela (talk) 18:33, 24 February 2006 (UTC)

Bureaucrat on the Homestar Runner Wooky

 * Hi there Angela. Hate to bother you, but I was wondering:
 * Shouldn't there be a bureaucrat on the Homestar Runner Wooky? (One that is active, I mean). I don't think anyone else needs to be a sysop, but perhaps later on.

Sincerely, Bubsty 19:08, 24 February 2006 (UTC)


 * A Bureaucrat can just make other admins. It isn't a position of power. Considering that wiki already has a lot of admins, I can't see a need for a Bureaucrat any time soon. Hopefully by the time there is a need for one, there will be some more users will have proven themselves trustworthy. Angela (talk) 00:47, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Woah. Sounds a bit...Ghenghis Khan&mdash;y. Can you at least make me a sysop. It's not like I haven't proven myself worthy. User: Seriously 02:09, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok. Angela (talk) 09:05, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Sweet. Thnak you, so, so, much for this. I never thought, um, I'd actually be a sysop. Cool. 14:57, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Grrrr. The thing is being, um....Bad. Real bad. Look at his contribs, his talk page, everything, and you will see why he should not have sysop priveleges. I sincerely apologize, as you seem to have a long list of messages from ths wooky, and I hope you can forgive us for our irresponsibility and de-sysop The thing. If you do, all our problemas will be vanquished. I blocked him, but obviously that didn't work, so I hope you understand, you are our only hope.  23:48, 25 February 2006 (UTC)


 * What is he doing that he shouldn't? I've asked Sannse and Mindspillage to keep an eye on this wiki since I'm away next week. Angela (talk) 08:43, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm not doing anything!!!!!! &mdash; 15:26, 26 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Persistent recreation of troll userpages, something we've been voting on (he lost, we can delete them, and overall immaturity. He's also trolled several wikis. &mdash; 21:23, 28 February 2006 (UTC)
 * 1 wiki! &mdash; 23:03, 28 February 2006 (UTC)

Nonsensopedia
Dear Ms Angela Beesley,

We are writing due to recent administration changes in our Wiki "Nonsensopedia". Founder of this wiki, Yossarian has been inactive since 5th of November. Recently one of our admins, Kondzio15 managed to contact him personally, and Yossarian gave oral permission to remove him as a founder of this wiki. He also claims that he cannot access his account, because he has forgotten his password.

Hence we would like to ask you to remove founder access from Yossarian and give it to AdminChef, the virtual accout, which our two major bureaucrats - Zeartul and ZelDelet, have access to. Nonsensopedia is developing rapidly, and it seems a bit weird that practicaly, we do not have a founder. We are hoping that You consider our request, and we are looking forward for Your reply.

What is more, we would like You to remove administrator access from our bot JBot, which has been given him by mistake and give him bot access, thus he will no more litter recent changes list. It is important, because the more litter in recent changes the slower our work goes.

Yours sincerelly, Nonsensopedia Administrators

Dear Angela Beesley,

thank you for fast reply, however what we are trying to get at, is that Yossarian is no more active administrator/user, and even if he get his password back, he will not be of any help. Hence once again we, The Nonsensopedia Administrators would like you to remove admin/bureaucrats rights from him.

Yours sincerely, Nonsensopedia Administrators

ZelDelet

Zeartul


 * Is there any harm in him keeping admin access there? He might decide to come back. Angela (talk) 08:41, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

User 209.123.8.145 on wikianswers
Could a one week block be put on this IP? Whoever is using it has been partially blanking stuff on WikiAnswers for the past two days, and struck once at the LosAngeles wiki this morning as well.-- Kirk  19:49, 27 February 2006 (UTC)


 * Blocked for 2 weeks, and sannse and mindspillage are reverting his edits on a lot of other wikis. Thanks for reporting this. Angela (talk) 22:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Just a note, I've seen this IP's extensive vandalism on the Althistory and Genealogy wikis very recently. I hope the block covers those, too. Thanks. Nhprman 19:55, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks for mentioning it. Angela (talk) 21:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)

user:ctjj.stevenson on Jonathan Kent
Hi,

I hope that this is the right place to leave a message. Thanks by the way for your message. I have recently watched Legacy, which shows the names of Jonathan Kent's parents, on their burial stone. Her name was Jessica, but I do not have a last name.

Have a great day! Christophe T. Stevenson

seeking to adopt a wiki
Hi, Angela! I'd like to adopt the VoteRice Wikicity and have admin status there. I've already re-worked the main page and have suggested several future articles. I guess it takes someone with some time, and I've got some - even with the fun I'm having over at the pr wikicity. Thanks! Nhprman 19:49, 1 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, you're now an admin/bureaucrat on voterice. Angela (talk) 21:43, 1 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Nhprman 03:10, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

the end of EQ2 east
Because of the EQ2 east will end , all of the players will move to American server. By the way, the eq2east wiki should end also ... There are many EQ2 info by English.

Reinhero.


 * Do you mean the game itself is ending? Won't people still want info on EQ2 in that language? Angela (talk) 22:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, the game will end in 30 March 2006, We will go to American server by our choice . SOE give us many profit if we want to go there. People who need info will go to find the English one ... :(   --Rein 05:38, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Homestar Runner Wooky (Yet again)
Hi Angela. Sorry to bother you again about this wiki, but I wanted to ask if you could make the user "Homestar" become a regular user, seeing as
 * 1. He's a sockpuppet of The thing
 * 2. The thing no longer uses that account.

Thanks!
 * Sincerely,
 * Bubsty 05:50, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I've done this, there doesn't seem to be any reason for someone to have two sysop accounts on the same City. -- sannse (talk) 11:08, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * Thanks sannse. Angela (talk) 22:20, 2 March 2006 (UTC)

Rename user
Is it possible to rename a user on wikicities? &mdash; 22:28, 2 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Not really, since there's a shared user database across all wikis. In extreme circumstances, we might, but not just for reasons of personal preference. Angela (talk) 00:39, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Logo for pt.Micronations
Hello, Angela. Thank you very much for your support on Micronations wikicity in Portuguese. We're running fast, with nearly 600 articles in less than a month now, and we plan to start spreading the news about it soon, in order to get more volunteers. But, before that, I would like to create and use a logo for pt.Micronations. What must I do? Thanks, --Pedro Aguiar 18:44, 3 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Create it as (or save a copy of it as) a PNG file of no more than about 160x160 pixels (the one on the central wiki is 132x132, the previous one was 135x155), titled Wiki.png and then upload it to your wiki's Special:Upload. If it gives you an error like "This file already exists", just ignore/overwrite. You'll probably need administrator access as this filename is usually protected. If your background is not pure white, you may wish to use the alpha-transparency abilities of PNG, but they are not supported by all browsers yet. Splarka 23:59, 3 March 2006 (UTC)

Sysop privileges
Hi Angela. My name be's Seriously. Isn't that great?

Anyway, I've come here to ask you to relieve me of my sysop privileges. I'm doing this because the one way I ever became a sysop was by begging. I haven't done enough, and I've gained these powers the wrong way. I don't think I'm trustworthy yet or responsible yet to handle them. Someday, when all the strong bad emails are done, maybe then I'll become a sysop. But right now, it's just not gonna happen without me feeling guilty that I don't really deserve being one. Later. &mdash; 14:13, 5 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok. Angela (talk)

Uncapaedia Language Question
Is it possible to change the default language of a Wikicity (in this specific case Uncapaedia) after it's initial creation? I am intereted in changing the default language of Uncapaedia to Latin, I have been unable to figure out how to do this on my own, so any help will be appreciated, thank you. --Nemo Purpureus


 * Uncapaedia should be in Latin already. I don't know what went wrong with it. See 274. Angela (talk) 14:54, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

That '70s Wiki namespace change.
Hey Angela. Would it be possible that the namespace of my wiki (That '70s Wiki) be changed to Groovypedia? After editing the wiki for some time, I've found our current name to be somewhat annoying to type out frequently, and I think that Groovypedia would be a better and easier name for the Wikicity. Thanks.--Knightfall 19:55, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * No problem. I'll do that now. Angela (talk) 21:39, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Thank you for changing the namespace, Angela. Just out of curiosity, when will the new name start showing up in the browser header, the sign-in page, and the feature, amongst other things?--Knightfall 22:39, 8 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I thought you wanted only the namespace changed. That is separate from the sitename etc. I think it would be best to leave that as it is so people can see what the wiki is about. Angela (talk) 23:19, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Very sorry to bother you about this again, Angela, but with regard to your last post, would it be possible then for the sitename to be changed to Groovypedia, the That '70s Show Wiki? Changing the sitename to that would still tell users what the Wiki is about, while still incorporating our new title. If that change is possible, then I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks once again.--Knightfall 22:22, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok. I'll do this when I'm back. I'm away this weekend. Angela (talk) 13:56, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Articles blocking
Dear Angela One of our administrators blocked all of his articles, because she claims that users are vandalising them, but not so often, from time to time, but this happens to all articles. Users in fact were vandalising them, but even if they were not, just editing, according to our regulations, she would revert it. She even put a notice on her site, that all her articles are blocked from vandalism". In my humble opinion this kind of prevention is against GFDL rules, but i would like to ask You firstly if it is against it, and what can we do about it?

--Sos 21:59, 9 March 2006 (UTC)


 * What Wikicity is this please? If you can let us know, someone will have a look at the situation as soon as possible -- sannse (talk) 09:41, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm guessing it's Nonsensopedia, though I've not looked into the problem. Angela (talk) 13:56, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Certainly it is Nonsensopedia, although I didn't want to emphasise this problem, which eventually I managed to solve verbally (after few hours of negotiating she unlocked her articles). But still I have no idea what may come to her mind next. I'm now contacting the rest of the administrators and bureaucrats to decide what to do. We'll let you know as soon as we come up wioth something. Thank You for attention. --Sos 16:52, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * If you want to talk to the community team privately, you can use the contact form. It's sometimes difficult for us to give answers without the specifics, because things vary so much between actual situations.  So please feel free to mail if that's more comfortable for you -- sannse (talk) 22:02, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

Armoriale
Hi Angela. I'm not able to link my wikicity Armoriale. What have I to do? By Massimop 22:34, 10 March 2006 (UTC)


 * What do you mean you aren't able to link it? What are you trying to do? Angela (talk) 11:13, 11 March 2006 (UTC)

IRC cloak
Hi, I was wondering if I could get an IRC cloak. Sorry to leave a message here, but I wasn't sure when you'd be back online and I didn't want to forget. :] Thanks! --Keitei 14:34, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Spanish language edition of Memory Alpha
Hi, Angela. I would like to know when the database for the Spanish language edition of Memory Alpha will be opened. I read at Memory Alpha that creating a database could take a week... but I've requested this new Wiki on March 6. Sincerely yours, CUADRADO ORTIZ, Juan Carlos Lima, Friday, March 17, 2006.

Blocked the wrong person
Angela, I've made a real blunder at Stargate Wikicity and I can't find the way to undo the damage. I've blocked the user Mindspillage (twice), but he was the one who undoed the bad edits made by other. I don't how it happened, but I nead help to correct it, if it's possible. Please tell me how to correct it, so I can learn. Peter R 06:37, 17 March 2006 (UTC) (or rather stargate:User:Pjotr'k


 * Mindspillage is staff, and can unblock themselves if needed. To unblock, go to stargate:Special:Ipblocklist (found in Special:Specialpages) on that wiki to find a list of blocks with unblock links. Splarka 06:47, 17 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I've left you a message on your Stargate talk page. No worries. :-) Mindspillage (spill yours?) 06:58, 17 March 2006 (UTC)

AliceSoft.wikicities, admin request
Hi Angela,

I'm the founder of AliceSoft.wikicities, and I would like to have access to delete pages and modify system messages. Thanks. -Afker 08:09, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok. I'll set that now. Angela (talk) 08:12, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Ooo thanks for the efficiency. BTW, on a diff subject, if I want to remove the history of an article, is the only way to do it via deleting the article (copying current content over to a safe place to be restored later of course)? -Afker 08:17, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes. Angela (talk) 08:29, 19 March 2006 (UTC)

interwiki
Angela, I have a request for a new interwiki at wikimedia:meta:Talk:Interwiki map for linking to the wikis hosted by wikicities. Can you see of the proposed link is technical correct and that the name is acceptable? Reponds there please, I do not realy come here. Walter 12:48, 19 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I've replied there. Thanks for asking me about it. Angela (talk) 06:19, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Request for admin status
Hi, Angela. I'm having lots of fun here! I'm seeking admin status for the english version of "Constitution". I'm not saying it's been abandoned, but it seems to have been a bit 'dry' for a couple of months now, and I cannot find the one who relaunched it in English back in December to ask for admin status. I'd love to take it under my wing and help it grow. Thanks! Nhprman 04:55, 20 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok. I'll make you an admin there now. Angela (talk) 06:19, 20 March 2006 (UTC)
 * You're awesome. Thanks! Nhprman 06:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

Nonsensopedia rights removal
We are writing due to recent administration changes in our Wiki "Nonsensopedia". Founder of this wiki, Yossarian has been inactive since 5th of November. Yossarian gave us an oral permission to remove him as a founder of this wiki. He also claims that he cannot access his account, because he has forgotten his password, and he isn't interested in further cooperation with us on improving Nonsensopedia.

On "Nonsensopedia" IRC channel, administrators have discussed this issue and voted for removing his administrator rights. Unanimously this application passed, so we want to remove those rights to don't make a illusion, that he's still active and hard working.

Here are the voting results (only in polish).

Sincerely, Nonsensopedia Administrators

Representative of Nonsensopedia, Szoferka 15:22, 21 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll remove his admin rights. However, if he changes his mind, he can get a new password by clicking the "email new password" button on Special:Userlogin. Angela (talk) 01:43, 22 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you. Szoferka 07:12, 22 March 2006 (UTC)

The Encyclopedia of Virtual Celebrities in Hong Kong
Hi Angela,

I'm the founder of the wikicity. Is it possible to change the sitename from English to Chinese? Because most user in this site are familiar with Chinese. If possible, please change it to 香港網絡大典.

thanks


 * No problem. I'll do that now. Sorry, I can't do this. I'll ask Jasonr to. Angela (talk) 08:45, 22 March 2006 (UTC)
