Submachine Wiki
Hello, I'd like to request a spotlight for the | Submachine Wiki. We have 150 pages, every one being categorized, and I believe we fulfill your other criteria. While we have had a fair amount of activity lately, we have only a few active, regular editors, and so a spotlight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Marbles! 17:37, September 27, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi -- Submachine Wiki looks great and I've added you to the list. -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:22, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Doctor Who Collectors Wiki
Hi again. Any chance the Doctor Who Collectors Wiki could be spotlighted again? Thanks! Tardis1963 01:47, September 25, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. We like to only spotlight wikis twice in a row, just to encourage variety in what we highlight.  Please feel free to ask again early next year (when it will have been a year since your last spotlights).  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:16, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Darker Than Black Wikia
Hey, i'm one of the 2 Bureaucrats over at the Darker Than Black Wikia, we were hoping that we could get into the wikia spotlight. The new season is coming up next mont, and we only have 2 editors. Me and Akadirgun. Although it's only 2 editors, we have done quite a bit of work on it, and tried to meet all your expectations. The only criteria which we dont meet is the stub articles. Currently we have 6. We've reduced it over the last few months frm ovr 20 to 6. Thats just about the only criteria we dont meet. Could you please review our wikia for the spotlight. With the new season coming up, we need some help getting it ready.

As a short note, although we dont get a lot of contributers, we do get a lot of viewers. This is clear through the polls which we set up. Thankyou for your time and patience..--AlienGamer--Talk (contribs)-- 06:22, September 22, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi -- Darker than Black looks great and congratulations on reaching 100 articles. I've added you guys to the spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:13, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Children's Books Wiki
Hi. I am the founder of Children's Books Wiki. I believe that the Wiki fulfills the criteria. Since our last spotlight back at the beginning of the year, we have doubled our article count (up to 420 now), and I have just appointed a second admin for the Wiki. I still hope that we can get more users (it's still me, mostly), so a spotlight would be very helpful. Thanks, Bethel23 (talk)
 * Hi -- Children's Books Wiki looks like it is still in great shape and I've added you back to the list. -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:06, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Modern Wikia
Modern Wikia would like to be spotlighted. To view a list of spotlighted pictures please visit http://modernsociety.wikia.com/wiki/Spotlight_Pictures or you can add your own spotlight picture, just be sure it is related to Modern Wikia and is a Modern Society image or good image.

Thanks,

--Andrew Schlieffen Executive Administrator of Modern Wikia and Valkyrie Movie Wikia 19:08, September 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. I can't add your wiki to the spotlight list while you have up a sitenotice telling people not to make edits. Furthermore, your user page notice about vandalism which you added to my user page after I fixed a typo on a page, is distinctly unfriendly; this is not the sort of wiki we wish to spotlight.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:02, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Wiki
I'm an admin of The Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Wiki. Can you add this wiki to the spotlight? --Kid Sonic 03:18, September 17, 2009 (UTC)




 * Hi. You have about 40 uncategorized pages which need to be taken care of.  Also, you do not currently have admin rights on the wiki, and I can't see that there are any active admins.  In order for the wiki to be spotlighted there needs to be an active admin.  If you are interested in becoming admin for the wiki, you can ask at this page.   -- Wendy  (talk ) 00:49, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Club Penguin Wiki Spotlight Request
Hello! I'm an administrator on the Club Penguin Wiki. We have about 610 Articles, most of them are not stubs. The site notice is 2 lines (right now) and it is a quick short message. We just finished promoting so there will not be any more promotions for a while. Our main page has suffered heavy vandalism in the past, so we choose to leave it protected. A few times we un protected it, and instantly it was vandalized. We have many categories linking pages together. We have a very nice logo. We have actually a few pictures on the Main Page. We are also using the welcoming tool. We have a very friendly welcome sent to each new contributer. I believe we qualify for spotlight. I hope to see us in the wikia spotlight at the bottom of each wiki soon! Thanks! -- seahorseruler | Talk  (EditCount) Yoshi! 16:51, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Seahorseruler. I can see that you guys continue to work hard on Club Penguin Wiki.  Your sitenotice is actually back up above 3 lines today which would need to be fixed.  However I am more concerned by the fact that you have made somebody a "webmaster" or rollbacker pretty much every day in the last week or more.  One of the criteria is that the wiki not be in the midst of choosing new admins and CP seems to be permanently choosing (and demoting) them, from what I can see in the logs.  That requirement is there because we want the wiki to be stable and focussed on content building/growth when we spotlight it.  I'm sorry but I can't add you guys to the spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 20:35, 8 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, We have stopped using the webmaster term, and we have closed all admin and rollback promotions. We also added a bunch of articles and have raised our count to over 1,000! I think we are ready now. : ) -- seahorseruler | Talk  (EditCount) Yoshi! 20:27, September 9, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hello, I am a rollback at that wiki, and his grown, and has been pretty much suitable for spotlight. Are we getting a reply? -- Zapwire  (Talk 21:58, September 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Congratulations on reaching 1000 articles! However, while it's not daily, a look a the user rights log shows that the wiki is still promoting and demoting admins every few days, so I still can't add you to the spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:12, September 24, 2009 (UTC)

Desperate Housewives Wiki
Hi! I would really like if the Desperate Housewives Wiki could be made a wiki spotlight as the Desperate Housewives' 6th season will be airing in just a few weeks. I think this would be a great time to try and attract new users as we don't have many regular users at the moment. We have over 400 articles and I think the wiki follows all of your guidlines. It would be much appreciated if you could consider the Desperate Housewives Wiki for wiki spotlight. Thanks! -- 17:01, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. Desperate Housewives Wiki looks great and I've added you to the spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:37, September 22, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you, it's much appreciated! -- 16:34, September 23, 2009 (UTC)

Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice Wiki
Hi! Back in April we recieved a spotlight but we failed to get many users and to this day only have three regular contributors including myself! We have over 700 articles and images, no major changes are taking place, we follow all the best practices and Grey's Anatomy is airing on September 24th, just over two weeks away so if we're to get any new users, I'm sure they'll be searching for the wiki quite soon and a spotlight would really help! Could we get a spotlight please? Thanks for your time, 2Anthony4 16:14, September 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. The wiki looks like it is in good shape and I've added it to the spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:48, September 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks.17:20, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

The Gran Turismo Wiki
Hello, I'm requesting another spotlight on The Gran Turismo Wiki. GTW has 93 articles with 2,011 edits between them.

GTW's a motorsports and gaming wiki. It provides information about cars, tracks, locations, manufacturers, series, and races in the Gran Turismo world, as well as real motorsports news. Because of its ambition and scope, we're constantly in need of editors.

I've even got a spotlight image ready: http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/gran-turismo/images/d/d4/GT_Wiki_button.png

Thanks for considering us! -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 23:59, September 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. Gran Turismo Wiki looks great.  However it needs to meet all of the Spotlight Criteria before it can be spotlighted by request, including 100 non-stub content pages.  Please ask again when you meet all of the criteria!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:34, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

Days In the End (SPOTLIGHT)
I'd like to get the spotlight on it so it can grow. As of right now, it's just me. Have you ever been watching your favorite T. V. show, and you wanted something to happen so bad, but the producers or writers would never let it happen. Here is your chance to be the writer, come up with your own characters who just happen to live in the same exact town as the already existing characters. Go as crazy as you want. Use your imagination. This wiki is based on a number of characters from the book series, Days In the End. These characters all interact with each other which leads to the deaths of some characters or even to the creation of new characters. The setting is the fictional town of Crystal Springs, New Jersey which was founded by the Walker Family in the early 1800s. --Nk3play2 07:01, September 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. It sounds like you have a neat idea for a wiki.  To be spotlighted, however, you need to meet the Spotlight Criteria,  including 100 content non-stub content pages, which you don't have yet.  Good luck, and feel free to ask again when you meet all the criteria!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:26, September 18, 2009 (UTC)

Criminal Minds Wiki
The Criminal Minds Wiki would like to request spotlight status. All relevant links are on the sidebar, and the wiki is categorized well. -Sec_1971 19:28, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

Ultimate Ghost Whisperer Wikia
Hi, I made this Wikia about 2 months ago completely new to the whole Wikia business, not knowing one thing about using layouts and stuff like that. But in the space of a few days I learned all I needed to know and 2 months later I have created 130 pages by myself filled with detailed information about the show. The List of Episodes page is a hit with viewers of the Wikia (they love the colour and pictures I had for it) and I have nothing short that the best look for the Wikia. I am currently going through each Ghost Whisperer episode creating detailed and expanded pages for the corresponding episodes with pictures and trivia galore, as well as colourful and informative character pages that are still a working progress. But I do need help with it, and a Spotlight could help me with getting new people to help out with the Wikia. Thanks for reading. --Gavin Hetherington 00:00, September 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. You've done a nice job with the Ultimate Ghost Whisperer Wiki.  There are a few things that you need to do to meet the spotlight criteria.  One is to drop the protection level on the main page to allow registered users to edit (block only anonymous and new users); I can see no vandalism to suggest the page needs to be protected against all users.  Also you have 45 uncategorized pages -- could you please categorize them?  Let me know when you've taken care of these issues!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:23, September 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * All pages have now been categorized and protection on the home page has been reduced to new and unregistered users. Thank you --Gavin Hetherington 12:30, September 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Great! I've added you to the list. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:49, September 28, 2009 (UTC)

Atomic Robo Wiki
Atomic Robo Wiki is a wiki dedicated to the Atomic Robo comic book universe.--Madmikeyd 22:51, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. Atomic Robo Wiki is shaping up nicely and I can see you've worked hard on it.  However while you have 105 articles, 15 or so of them are 1 sentence stubs.  Please ask for the spotlight again when you have increased the content a bit more.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:13, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

Project Superpowers Wiki
The Project Superpowers Wiki is a wiki dedicated to Dynamite Entertainment's Project Superpowers comic book universe. We currently have over 200 pages on the comics, the characters, and other items. --Madmikeyd 22:46, September 1, 2009 (UTC)

Valkyrie Movie Wiki
Can we be spotlighted again. Thanks! --Andrew Schlieffen 18:43, September 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. You have been spotlighted twice recently; we generally don't repeat a spotlight a 3rd time in a row so that other wikis get a chance to be spotlighted as well. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:13, September 14, 2009 (UTC)

American Girl Dolls Wiki - Spotlight?
I'd love it if we got another spotlight for the American Girl Dolls Wiki. We just hit 1000 articles today, and I think another spotlight would be great for us! --Nethilia 09:10, 30 August 2009 (UTC)


 * As requested, I've unlocked the main page. --Nethilia 06:04, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Suite Life Wiki
I believe we were already given a spotlight, and am wondering if we could get it again. Thanks!-- Avatar Talk 00:55, 28 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Please ask again when you are done merging with Tipton Wiki; a wiki in the middle of a merge is not ideal for spotlighting. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:02, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Duckipedia International
Hi! My Duckipedia, now in an international mode is supporting different languages, we have an unique center for contact, tips and help making an article called the Senat. We also have different subgroups of categories like DuckipediaTV, coming now in November, and Duckichat, the coming chat/forum station for my domain imsor.com. My wiki is specialised in a smaller part of Disney but as users have contributed, I have seen the changes over time, and the greater and more specific the articles has been. I am counting on this wiki, and I use a lot of time for making totally unique logos and icons, and article layouts to stand the test of time. I have constructed an unique marking system, based on unfinished articles or non updated articles or something in that direction.


 * Hi. If you are requesting a spotlight you need to be a wikia wiki and also meet the spotlight criteria; please include a link to the wiki so I know which one it is as well.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:22, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

(Maybe) the most friendly wiki yet.
The wiki is contstructed so it will be as easy as it gets to make an article. I have made seperate beautiful pages, easy to read, only to create an easy to use wiki. The challenge of such a wiki is that the wiki has to fit for all ages. You may not think that Mickey and Donald interest everybody, but they are a great cultural phenomenon and everybody loves them. I have got emails by people over 40 from other webpages like Calisota.com for example. Duckipedia is a piece of my work I am hoping for, I have allready won the challenge over better search results then the Deutch..excuse me, German wiki, Duckipedia.de. Over 2o webpages competes making the greatest Duckipedia ever. My newxt goal is passing the norwegian site Donald.no and they pay for adds. I do'nt think it's easy, but I do think I can make it. But I have to to get help, making a wiki I can be proud of. Please listen, it means a lot.

Gintama Wiki
Hi,

I'm an admin from Gintama Wiki and I'd like to request a spotlight for it. We have over 300 pages, a colorful mainpage, a nice logo and skin and a somewhat clear category structure. We'd really appreciate to get a spotlight.

Best regards,

~ Akadirgun(Talk)


 * Hi. Gintama Wiki looks good and I can see you have worked hard on it.  There are some uncategorized pages that need to be categorized.  Let me know when you have taken care of them and I will be happy to add you to the list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:06, September 8, 2009 (UTC)

Reversopedia
Hi, I'm the founder of Reversopedia, and I would like for Reversopedia to a a Spotight article. Reversopedia has 144 articles, 11 of which are stubs. So, not including stubs, Reversopedia has 133 articles. I think that every article on Reversopedia is categorized.

Spongebob Fanon Wiki
Hi Wikia,

I have been working hard to get a wiki into shape after I adopted it. Great to know, we now have over 100 articles! I'm requesting the wiki be spotlighted so we can have more users coming over. I was thinking of the wiki spotlight having a rainbow with a sponge pattern in the middie with the words "Spongebob Fanon Wiki" in the middie in Comic San MS text format. Thanks in advance. <font color="Red">Phin68  talk to Phin68  21:52, 25 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. Spongebob  Fanon Wiki looks really nice and I can see that you have put a lot of work into it.  In order to be spotlighted, however, it needs to meet the criteria for a spotlight.  Notably, the mainpage needs to be unprotected and all articles need to be categorized.  Let me know when you've taken care of those issues! -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:43, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Foamipedia
Hello, wikia. I am The avatar an admin over at Foamipedia, the Avatar: The Last Airbender humor wiki. We have over 100 articles, every content page has been categorized, we have a logo, a picture on our main page, and almost every other requirement you require. Thanks-- Avatar Talk 21:20, 24 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi. Foamipedia looks good and congratulations on reaching 100 articles!  My only concern for the spotlight is that you have most of your articles (about 75 of them) categorized as stubs right now.  Could you go through that category and either expand some of them or reassess which are truly stubs?  It's a bit offputting for visitors to have most of the pages they visit claim to be stubs.  Let me know when you've reduced the number so you have 100 articles which are not marked as stubs.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:32, 1 September 2009 (UTC)

Gearspedia the Gears of War
Hello I'm JacktheBlack from Gearspedia the Gears of War wikia. I would like a spotline since the franchise is expanding from the video game series and into comics,books, and even a film. Right now we have 836 pages (All categorize) an logo with a skin. An image policy we follow! Dedicated Admins but we can always used an extra hand from Users and IPs. Please and thank you.--Jack Black 14:18, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

The Dog Island Wiki
We recently had our 100th page on this wiki. I am the founder and according to the stub category there are no stub pages. The wiki does have a logo, however, because I've changed the skin it isn't actually shown on the wiki. The main page has one picture (in the featured article section), links to important content and is not protected. Every page is in a category due to the fact that the templates that go on the pages automatically adds the page to a category anyway, and the wiki is not in the middle of any "upheavals" (I don't think). There is no sitenotice and it is using the wikia welcome tool signed by admins. -- M  e  l  o  n   24  7  08:36, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Filmation Ghostbusters Wiki
This wiki was spawned from Ghostbusters Wiki, and as of late is starting to look pretty good. It has 170 articles, and covers all rules for spotlight as far as I could see. Note I am currently working with a filmation Ghostbusters Forum for support. However, there is only so much help i'm going to get from a forum as its users are not very strong on wiki skills. Anyways I'm seeking a Spotlight for it. Please remember to use a image for Filmations Ghostbusters and not sonys. Devilmanozzy 06:07, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Sardapedia
I'd like to nominate Sardapedia (works by Brian Clevinger [we have since branched out from 8-Bit Theater]) for Wikia Spotlight. We currently have (as I am writing this) 765 articles, a logo, a skin, a few pictures on the main page, and we have full permission by Brian Clevinger and co to use images and script comics. Every page and image is in a category (I make sure of that), the wiki is currently stable, and we are also on Twitter. However, we are desperate for contributors (we only have roughly 3 main contributors). We don't use the auto-welcomer (we prefer the human touch to welcoming), but hopeful that is a detail that is trivial? Thank you for your time. <font color="Midnightblue">Scathe <font color="#778899">Mote 02:43, September 28, 2009 (UTC)
