Free use concerns
Hi, thanks for your email reply to me about images on the Kingdom Hearts wiki. I finally got around to tagging those images, although I made a new template based off the delete one. The images I tagged can be found here, would you mind deleting them? I have backups in case my rationale for not being fair use turns out to be wrong.

I also want to thank you for your advice on getting all the editors together. What would be a good way to do that? I was thinking of posting a message on every editor's talk page and linking them to a community portal post I'd also make, but is there any better way? Thanks again for the help, Scottch 22:44, 29 November 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, that sounds fine. If you would prefer I can set a sitenotice.  This will show on all pages until removed, and can point people towards the community portal.  Let me know if you want this.  I'll look at the deletions now -- sannse (talk) 18:44, 30 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, that'd be great. I'm guessing that's a MediaWiki page?  Hopefully enough will show up that it won't be needed long.  Thanks for deleting those pictures, there actually weren't as many as I originally thought there'd be.  Just looking at the pages there looked  like there would be more, but I was wrong.  Scottch 04:07, 1 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I've put up the notice, let me know if you want the wording changed -- sannse (talk) 08:06, 1 December 2006 (UTC)

"Genealogy" collaboration
Hi, Sannse. I see you've started some of the machinery work for our "month". I look forward to seeing us on the Main Page. What can we do to help? (No response to my questions on Category talk:Collaboration of the month). Robin Patterson 00:21, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

"There was discussion on the forum about spreading out the changes to the main page a bit, to keep interest there." --- which forum? Robin Patterson 23:08, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

Hi Robin, it was at Forum:Featured Wikia -- proposed changes. I'll have a look tomorrow at how we can expand the instructions, unless you get to it first. I wonder if we can make it clear enough that each wiki can do everything for itself when it wins... reduce the relience on someone remembering to change it and so on... just a thought -- sannse (talk) 23:18, 4 December 2006 (UTC)

moved medic wiki
Thanks for your support in promoting the medic mini wiki to a full wikia.

I only have one question: wherer did all of the content go? I can't find the front page in the history, and it was a LOT of work! And the other pages are all gone. So... how do I find them? None of the content is archived on any of the contributors computers, and we're in the middle of 2 time-sensitive collaborations!

Please, help! Gobblehook 19:13, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi, don't worry! It's all safely on the new wiki, including the article history. You can see all the pages at w:c:medic:Special:Allpages and the old main page is at w:c:medic:medic.  You can either move that to the new main page, or copy the part of it you want to keep to the new page.  Some of it won't quite work for the new wiki (links to recent changes for example) so will need a little adjustment.  Let me know if you need help with that -- sannse (talk) 19:19, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks!! Gobblehook 19:58, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

Remindered!
[6:26pm] sannse: Hinoa: can you leave me a reminder on my user page?

Hello. This is your friendly reminder that should you feel like it when you get up tomorrow, I would like a name change on Uncyclopedia from Hinoa4 to Hinoa. (User:Hinoa already exists on Uncyc; however, I give you my word that that user is me as well.) Thankya! &mdash;Hinoa 23:27, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks Hinoa - message left on Uncyc -- sannse (talk) 08:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

favorites icon
Hey sannse, I'm posting a 16x16px PNG file I want to use as an icon for the the w:c:medic wiki. Could you convert it to an .ico file?



Thanks, Gobblehook 02:28, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Since it had no transparent sections (which usually only sannse can do right), I went ahead and did this for you: w:c:medic:Special:Log/upload. --Splarka (talk) 02:37, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks Splarka -- sannse (talk) 08:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

CoDev and GameDev
GameDev in Brazilian Portuguese, and CoDEV in Spanish both have been around for months with no edits:. And, there is no english version.

I propose we merge these two and a new english language one (with no founder) into:
 * pt-br.gamedev.wikia.com
 * es.gamedev.wikia.com
 * en.gamedev.wikia.com

And have:
 * gamedev.wikia.com as a disambiguation page or redirect to central GameDev, and codev.wikia.com a redirect to es.gamedev.wikia.com.
 * GameDev the multi-language description page for all 3
 * CoDEV a redirect to it with a merged note.

Sound feasable? --Splarka (talk) 04:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Yep, all sounds good. Although as the name is in English, the English version doesn't need the language code -- sannse (talk) 08:54, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

request
While I didn't see the request, I'm guessing that the recently rejected Wikia request for Atlantis belongs on Stargate rather than stexpanded. --CocoaZen 03:36, 11 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi CocoaZen, the request was for a wiki about a small Star Trek RPG called UES Atlantis, so should fit stexpanded well. I'd forgotten about the Atlantis series though :) -- sannse (talk) 07:57, 11 December 2006 (UTC)

SWF vandal

 * We have a vandal over at the Star Wars Fanon wiki. I can't ban him, so can you!? [[Image:DarthAbeonisSig2.gif|Jasca Ducato]] Sith Council Sith Campaign 11:11, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * All done, call me again if you need to :) -- sannse (talk) 11:27, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to bother you, but if you have time could you take a look at the SWFanon Wiki? I just finished reverting some vandalism by this ip: 68.99.93.211 Normally I wouldn't bother you but it seems that none of our adimns are around. Thank you. Ewoksfist 03:15, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

De-sysopping
Hi Sannse. Some month ago I gave a user sysop-status on Spademanns Leksikon. Now it turns out that was a mistake since he has already pissed off a lot of users, who've seized contributing. I seek to de-sysop him - at least until we get the wiki up and running properly.

According to the people at the Watercooler, only staff (i.e. you) can help with that, so that's why I'm writing to you here. Thanks

--Lhademmor 08:38, 14 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I've done this, sorry to hear you are having problems there, and let me know if I can help at all -- sannse (talk) 09:16, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the quick reponse :-). The real problem with the wiki is, that it doesn't have a community - just a lot of users contributing at random. I will try to set up a community when I get the time. I'm mostly busy at Wikipedia atm. --Lhademmor 12:56, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, and another thing: Many aspects of the wiki still seem to be in English. Is there any way to change this to the Danish default? --Lhademmor
 * It's all in Danish, except for the Wikia box and the Wikia spotlight, but you see it in English because you have English set as your language in your preferences. If you log out, you will see what the casual visitor sees.  And you can change this in your preferences if you prefer to see a Danish interface on all Wikia -- sannse (talk) 21:23, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

E-mail working?
Sannse, did you get my e-mail? It's been four days now... ―  T hailog  11:29, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry Thailog, I've been so rushed this last week... yes I got it, I will reply today. -- sannse (talk) 11:51, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Oh. Ok. I was just wondering... Take your time then. It's not that important. : )  T hailog  11:53, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Help
Hello, I have just adopted the War of the Worlds wiki, I have informed the origional founder about this. What exactly do I do next? BobafettH23


 * Just start editing :) There is a lot you can do to get started, look at what's needed, write new articles, and try to get new people into the project to help out.  Once you have edited for a few weeks, we can give you full admin rights, so that you can delete pages and do other maintenance.  In the mean time, you can drop a note to any of the community team if you need any admin jobs done.  thanks for taking this on, and good luck! -- sannse (talk) 22:12, 23 December 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Apparently we're having what looks like a spam attack at the DCAU wiki, and the admins have been AWOL for one month. Can you help? ―  T hailog  01:44, 24 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I see Rieke helped out by deleting this page. -- sannse (talk) 12:10, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Can you please do an IP check on these users down at the Star Wars Fanon wiki? I suspect there are all the same person, but I can't prove it. Thanks for your help! -- Jedi Master 76   


 * Is there a reason for a Checkuser? For example, have any of them vandalised, or voted twice on the same issue?  Unless there are wider problems on a wiki (something I think swfanon has gone beyond now) there needs to be a reason for us to check IPs. -- sannse (talk) 12:10, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Search Wikia, and Favicon for Same
Hi Sannse. The Search Wikia that I wrote to you about back in April 2006 is being revitalized. I thought you might want to know, the favicon you made has been as Public Domain. Even if you don't mind, it might solidify the PD status, if you that you are the creator, and bless its release as PD (or GFDL, or CC, or whatever you prefer.)  Have a great day, and thanks again for your kindness earlier this year! :) Charm 09:21, 26 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Charm, good to see things starting up there again. I see Reike has designed a new favicon, so all looks well there.  Regards -- sannse (talk) 12:13, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Redesign the Volunteer Portal
Sannse, I'm going to work on redesigning the VP. It was claimed on 9 October 06, but hasn't been worked on. Thanks! Thunderhead 03:32, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * That's great Thunderhead. Thanks for your time -- sannse (talk) 12:13, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Adminship disagreement
Hi again sannse, I decided to ditch IRC, it's just not my night for that I suppose.

I was just letting you know that the Kingdom Hearts Wiki adminship discussion has gotten some disagreement recently. The thread is here, and there's some question as to whether Dreyfus2006 should be sysopped. Could you hold off on the sysopping until we come to some sort of agreement or standstill? Any insight might be helpful as well, we don't seem to be on the same page as to the role of an admin. Scottch 13:58, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

OK, I've replied there Scottch -- sannse (talk) 15:16, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

thanks
Thanks for reverting the vandalism! 12:45, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * No, problem -- sannse (talk) 17:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

World Wikia
Hi

World Wikia is facing a large scale vandalism. Please do something if you are free.

I also wish you a very Happy New Year.

Bhadani --Bhadani 17:45, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll come over there and help revert stuff as well.


 * That looks like the lot, all's well again :) -- sannse (talk) 17:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks to both of you. Some people do crazy things like wasting time on vandalizing the pages. --Bhadani 17:55, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Sannse, could you delete this page? I think it's spam.


 * Done, but you can just tag any pages like that with and an admin will clear up :) thanks -- sannse (talk)
 * You're welcome. (I hope they don't come to the gun wiki...) 13:28, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Lego wiki (brickipedia)
Just recently I have found Brickipedia, and have started to clean it up. I looked around and stumbled upon the community portal. In there it said that one to two people wanted it merged with another lego wikia. Is that going to go through. Just wondering as answer was inconclusive, or at least it was to me...


 * It was to everyone I think. There were a few comments, but no real conclusions.  But whether some contributors decide to merge content or not, the LEGO Wikia will still exist, so don't worry that your work will disapear.  Let me know if you need any help, and thanks for your work there :) -- sannse (talk) 09:21, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Copyright violations
There's an anonymous user -- 200.127.79.42 (Talk) -- on the DCAU wiki submitting lots of suspicious texts, some of which have been tracked down to an official site. I posted two messages on said user's Talk page but he ignored them and keeps on submitting the official texts. The Admins are very absent on that wikia. ―  T hailog  17:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This user’s activity now borderlines vandalism. Please put a stop to it. ―  T hailog  18:15, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Reply at DCAnimated -- sannse (talk) 20:39, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Ditto. ―  T hailog  21:29, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Sannse,

My name's Fernando, i'm 14 years old

Yesterday i made some modifications in villains' pages and i think they're well done.

Today i can't kepp making them, so i want to know why i can't keep realizing them, it is an activity i like very much

My IP address is 200.127.79.42.

Many regards, Fernando
 * See here. This is the talk page to your IP. I think there's everything you need to know on how to get started. Then, I suggest you look around and read our manual of style to contribute in conformity to our standards. ―  T hailog  02:12, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Sannse, can you move the message on my profile to my talk page? ―  T hailog  18:03, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Done, but you culd have done that... -- sannse (talk) 18:20, 2 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh, I thought that Admins had a way to completely move the content of the profile to the talk page, without leaving any trace of it on history page of the profile. My mistake. : ) ―  T hailog  18:24, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess I could have deleted the talk page, moved the user page, restored the deleted versions, and then deleted the redirect for the user page.... but much easier in this case to just move the text. :) -- sannse (talk) 18:26, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

MoH
Ok about the user pages and stuff, feel free to edit that. I just don't want things like information about groups to be tarnished, which I will be given the blame for.

Uncyclopedia language links, still broken after all these years
All of this has already been posted here, here, here or here - most at least one or two months ago. Nonetheless, these still don't work:

Sorry to have to keep bringing these up. --carlb 03:17, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Carl, after the last update, which cleared most things I think, I put the list as I had it here for checking. Does that tie in with what you have? If so, then hopefully your list here is the definitive one.
 * ikkepedia wasn't a fork from what I recall, that was requested individually and not as a break off or copy of another project (I'm not even sure there was another no. uncyc at that time). fi.uncyclopedia was offered at a time that the original Finnish Uncyc was broken... if I recall you did the same thing at the same time.  But with the duplicate, we didn't add Interlanguage links to that one.   I'm not sure what the best solution is for that wiki.
 * If you think we've covered everything, I'll get the list to Inez to be added. Thanks -- sannse (talk) 22:06, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

I've rechecked these one last time, looks like links for any Wikia added recently (such as Esperanto) are completely broken in both directions. That issue was already raised in Uncyclopedia's forum as Nunyepedia (ast:) can't link to or from other languages - the same applies to anything created in the last few months.

This is as close as I can get to a definitive list.

Of the duplicates, fi.uncyclopedia and ikke.pedia you're already aware here and here. Some of the complaints received are here and here.

Fi: (Suomi) is unfortunate, but it seems the only way to link both is to put one under some other language. One can't make new language codes except by adding them in Names.php, which is awkward. There is an existing su: code, which belongs to some small corner of the island of Java and appears unrelated, not much else that would even be a close match. --carlb 23:40, 9 January 2007 (UTC)

More people to welcome
I've done more than usual and it's past my bedtime, so you can pick up the leftovers, please!

Request help with vandalism on We-think
Hi, Sannse. Wondered if you could help with some vandalism on w:c:wethink. I've recently blocked user 207.210.93.73 on w:c:sca21 for vandalism and noticed same user vandalised central wikia recently. Although I'm contributing to wethink, I don't have admin rights, and not sure who might be an active admin on this wiki? Thanks Philralph 18:00, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi, looks like Angela deleted the spam already. The only admin there is the founder, who hasn't been in for a long time.  So I've made you admin there as well.  Let me know if you need any help -- sannse (talk) 18:28, 10 January 2007 (UTC)

Per your request...
...one edit to your talk page. Somehow I feel I should write "ZOMG U LUSER U DELETED MY PAGE I WILL HAXOR YOU!" or something... ;) Essjay ( Talk )  21:53, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks Essjay, that's great. -- sannse (talk) 20:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

KDA
sannse, thanks for reloading our wiki to its own database, I really appreciate the help you gave. It will take the following days (as I am in the middle of winter-exams now) to check up on the pictures and links, but you've really helped a lot.

Thank you! ~Snils, 23:34, 11 January 2007 (UTC+1)


 * No problem, just let me know when you need a hand :) -- sannse (talk) 20:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Hello Sannse
I am really pleased to see here once again. I have a request. I have seen that you create and craft logos and you have done so for many Wikias. It shall be really nice if you can make for this Wikia. This is about Finance in its entirety, but oriented towards Personal Finance. Please help. Thanks and Regards. --Bhadani 19:54, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Hi Bhadani. I've replied over there. Don't worry about leaving two messages, I'll be notified if you leave a message on any of my talk pages :) -- sannse (talk) 20:57, 12 January 2007 (UTC)
