Hi there.

I've been editing the Duran Duran Wiki for several months now. But the site is constantly getting hit by people who with to abuse the system. This has forced me this week to ask for admin rights, so I can fix and then lock certain pages which have been broken by spammers. I have been in contact with Duran Duran Management today, and they are threatening to take down the pages which are incorrect unless someone can fix and lock them.

I also want to fix the title page of the wiki - which was damaged a long time ago, and I cant edit the broken code without admin rights.

If you need proof that I am legit in this claim, please contact AskKaty@duranduran.com. She can confirm what's been going on.

I sure hope you can help me, and the Duran fan community.

 * Unfortunately, I can't immediately approve your request. And investigating outside sources as you've suggested is beyond our usual remit here on the Adoptions Team. What we're most concerned about here is that there's a transparent leadership change process on the wiki itself. By insisting on this, we're making it possible for people years from now to refer to an on-wiki discussion to see the basis for this change.


 * Since there are some active editors, what you need is to get their consent to adopt the wiki. So you need to go back to the wiki, start a conversation, and draw the attention of the editing community to that conversation. That way, all of the active editing population (that is, people who have edited in the last six weeks or so) can participate in the decision-making process. When the community has decided -- or at least been given at least a week to respond -- you can come back here and start a new request, one which points back to the wiki's discussion.


 * Please see our adoption guidelines to get a better sense of this process. If you have additional concerns about the appropriateness of wiki content, you can reach out to our Customer Support team here. If you have vandalism concerns, you can enlist the help of the good people at SOAP, our volunteer anti-vandalism squad.
