Any other information:

I have no interest in the subject of the wiki I am requesting for adoption. I just wanted to join because my knowledge with the admin tools would be of some help. I know how to delete pages, I know how to block users, I know how to do that, when to do them, and why I'm doing them.

I never thought that I'd be requesting to adopt this wiki, but I wanted to help out and maybe pass on some of my admin knowledge to an admin who doesn't seem to know how to access the tools. And I wanted to become a bureaucrat so that I could promote some other suitable candidates to admin-ship.

I hope that no one has any doubts about my admin experience (e.g. my refusal to join the wiki I'm asking to adopt, until my adoption has been granted). But yeah. I wanted to be able to help to build a stronger community within that wiki, since there's not much of a community there. In order to give you some idea of my knowledge of using the admin/'crat tools, you might want to see my contributions to my test wiki.

Hello - regardless of your admin experience of other wikis, you must meet the guidelines for adopting any wiki. For this wiki, there are 2 things you would have to do to be eligable to aodpt:

1. According to the adoption guidelines, it is required that the adopting user make a blog/forum post/announcement of some sort explaining their intentions to adopt on an active wiki, so other users on the wiki can give their input, and comment. If there is a consensus amongst the users for you to receive the rights, then you'll be eligible to adopt.

2. The other critical requirement for adopting is active editing (making new pages, fixing up articles, adding content, building the wiki) for 1 solid week. It doesn't have to be a lot of edits each time, it is just the *frequency* of the edits that Staff needs to see, to show your investment and commitment to the wiki.

Lastly, and this is my suggestion, the bureaucrat, while not active on the wiki, last *logged on* just the other day. If *I* may make a suggestion, you should message them asking for the rights. You never know, you just might get them sooner.


 * Impossible. They have proven that they are incapable of using them. Their behaviour confirms it. They've been continuously nagged by anons about not knowing how to use them, and still, they are unable to follow the instructions on how to use them. --  C.Syde  ( talk &#124;  contribs ) 03:02, January 23, 2015 (UTC)
