Any other information:

Firstly, our admin hasn't showed up in the last six months. Secondly, there's an user there ("Ctlftr") that constantly uploads Bluto-centric pictures, many of them dirty drawings ranging from the homoerotic to the sadomasochistic to borderline nudity (eg. "Bluto Flaunts His Assets.jpg"). Or thinly-covered penis pictures ("Popeye Finishkes Bluto.jpg") as well as altered and unaltered cartoon captures. But even in the latter's case they may come with suspect names (like "Bluto Shoots His Juices.gif"). Now I have posted quite a few pro-Popeye anti-Bluto images just to bother Ctlftr, but I won't litter the articles with them. My ambition is to have Popeye Wiki be a complete and informative encyclopedia not just copypasted from others. This user's every edit aims to "beautify" Bluto and deprecate Popeye (even getting blocked elsewhere for similar activities). If I become admin there I promise to clean it from all such inappropriate files, perhaps not blocking this person outright since they sometimes create detailed and articulate articles (with the suspect writing/images that I often have to edit out). Keep in mind that this is one of the wikis that got locked to non-users for being child-friendly!

Hello! There appears to be a few other contributors at this wiki. You need to make a blog/forum post/announcement of some sort explaining your intentions to adopt the wiki, so others can give their input, and comment. It's best to make a blog or forum about your adoption than individual messages so there can be consensus in one place. You should let the announcement run for 1 week. If you do make a discussion, leave the link here so Staff can review it. Also, if you have issues with a spammer/vandal/user adding false information, contact the VSTF at their wiki, and they might be able to help you. Good luck!


 * Thanks a lot, I made a blog post (there's no forum there). In fact, I went to the VSTF Wiki first & they said it was a "social problem" & suggested I adopt.186 contributor (talk) 23:21, December 9, 2014 (UTC)
