Any other information: The three of us are helping expanding the wiki by writing all the missing info for every chef and every episode, and fighting against trolls. Right now, the one user who's giving us a very hard time is the following: Magitroopa. This user wants to be the dictator of the wiki, and threatens everybody who's undoing his work, just because he wants only his work to be shown. He's complaining about something that he does himself. We are working very hard to maintain the peaceful atmosphere on this wiki, but it's tough with all the non-serious users, who could be labelled as trolls.

And I'll be honest (this is Yankeedankeedoodleshite talking): I admit to have been harsh on some people at points, but I promise that if this adoption request is approved, I'll be more careful about the words that I'll use, the reason is because I care a lot about this wiki! I did put some rude stuff at points, and I deeply apologize to the Fandom Community if somebody was hurt. I'm a very passionate guy, and because of that, my anger comes out ugly sometimes, and I acknowledge that it is something I have to work on. Thank you very much!!!

 * I would like to say he should not adopt the Wiki. Even though he may have 5,000+ edits, he is very rude to users, and does not let others edit. He has isolated the Wiki for himself and his two friends, which is against Wikia policy. Giving him ownership of the Wiki would allow him to block users, making it even more private. There have been way too many instances of abuse, and again, does not allow other users to edit pages unless he 'approves' of it (even though he is not staff) For more on his behavior, please check here. -Magitroopa
 * This is guitar652. Even if Yankee gets banned, I would like to be approved for being an admin. I believe that Yankee is legitimately apologetic about his actions, and most of his frustrations are for people that do stuff that is unacceptable (one example was calling Sous Chef Andi a mean person that was on her period when yelling at Season 12 Anton, which the both of us deemed inappropriate). And about his rudeness, he has told me in the past that he is a very passionate person who's believes that if somebody gives him respect, he'll give him the same, but if that person does not, he will not. And regarding Magitroopa, I do believe that Yankee probably should have dealt with the situation a little better, but as we've been dealing with trolls during the project, we made the wrong assumption and I sincerely apologize to him.

 * Gonna have to agree with Magitroopa. That guy needs to control himself and needs to stop acting like he's an administrator.(Kaleifla 00:07, August 12, 2018 (UTC)

I want to add something to this. While I will admit that Yankee has been in the past has been harsh, I don't want this to reflect poorly on the adoption request. That's why even if Yankee does not get approved, I at least want to. All I want to see is that the wiki is up to it's full strength, and I want to at least see that it's properly done so. I understand Magitroopa's anger that he has made edits on the page that were immediately taken off, trust me I would be frustrated as well. But I would never think that Yankee would use his admin position to block users for adding stuff. I'm trying my best here to see both sides and come to an agreement, that's all.

 * While I do want to wait for Fandom staff to respond to this adoption, Merrystar has pointed this out to me, "You are correct however, that they do not have the right to try to keep the wiki "private", any more than admin would."
 * In other words, you simply cannot claim a Wiki as yours, and then only allow yourself and 2 friends to edit it. Wikia/Fandom allows people to join different Wikis/communities, and allows them to talk with others who like the same subject, and help edit/add info that is helpful. I was doing actual editing, but you assumed I was a troll, and completely dismissed my edits. My pictures which were logos of the seasons were not allowed because, "No pictures allowed on those pages", which was later clarified as because each page then needs a picture as well. It also breaks the entire foundation of this website when people add info, and it is completely deleted because, "another user is working on it". That is not how this website works.
 * It doesn't help when you state these rules like, "no pictures unless it's on every single page", yet there's no where on the Wiki that lists any rules, because you have limited to yourself and your 2 friends. I am a fan of Gordon Ramsay and the show Hell's Kitchen, and I wanted to help with info, but it's not helpful when after bringing back my edits, you revert them again, and are very disrespectful to me on my talk page saying things like, "you better show me some respect because I decide if your edits are acceptable or not" and, "Thank you for giving me the idea of the pictures, it's really appreciated... BOSS!" My statement, "how you run (sorry, work) this Wiki" was because you are a user, who yes, has contributed a lot to the Wiki, but acts and thinks they own the Wiki, when the only staff is the owner, who was last active in 2010.
 * I honestly do not want a feud, but you have elevated it to that, sadly. Even ignoring this entire feud between us, I still do not think you should be able to adopt the Wiki, after many occasions of your rudeness to others. Here they are:
 * 1 , 2 , 3 (Claims he and friends run website, when he has no administrator position at all), 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 , 8 , 9, 10, 11 , 12 ,13, 14, 15 , 16 , 17 , 18, 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 , 23 , 24
 * Thank you, and I hope you understand my argument. -Magitroopa
