'''What is your username? '''A Wikia contributor

Please link to the wiki here: http://asphalt.wikia.com/wiki/Asphalt_Wiki

Proposed new admins: Simmia, BeachSideRAGE and Hadam259

On the Special Pages → Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? We have one Admin (SmoshFan101) and he last time edited the Asphalt Wiki over a year ago (Jan 13th, 2014) - yes 2014 (sic!). The Founder (Bloodywaters) can't be seen in that list. Last time our only admin logged in was May 20th, 2014.

Link to the on-hold Adoption Requests by Simmia & Hadam259: http://community.wikia.com/wiki/Adoption%3AAsphalt_Wiki_%283%29

Candidate 1: Simmia


 * How many edits has Simmia made on that wiki? 2322 (and counting...), has made the most Edits


 * How many days/months has Simmia been editing there? ~ 2 months
 * Is the candidate willing to take on the mandate? As far as I know, yes (source 1, source 2)

Candidate 2: BeachSideRAGE


 * How many edits has BeachSideRAGE made on that wiki? 1318


 * How many days/months has BeachSideRAGE been editing there? over 3 months
 * Is the candidate willing to take on the mandate? As far as I know, yes (source 1, source 2)

Candidate 3: Hadam259


 * How many edits has Hadam259 made on that wiki? 431


 * How many days/months has Hadam259 been editing there? over 6 months
 * Is the candidate willing to take on the mandate? As far as I know, yes (source 1, source 2)

Candidate 4 (the black horse): Fabien Gameloft


 * How many edits has Fabien Gameloft made on that wiki? 241


 * How many days/months has Fabien Gameloft been editing there? ~1 month
 * Is the candidate willing to take on the mandate? I don't know. He hasn't showed any interest in that direction. I also don't know how the community would react, if the admin rights are given to a real representative of the company (Gameloft). Further more, if he's doing the editing on his work time, he might be reluctant to take on any new workload.

Any other information:

There's an alarmingly increasing rate of spam, vandalism and online harassment detected at the Asphalt Wiki (there's at least one active spammer with different IP's). Since the only current local admin is not active anymore in Asphalt Wiki and the creator of the Wiki seems to be uninterested in it, these cases will be reported to the VSTF or directly to the Wikia Staff. If there were new active local admins, these matters could be dealt within the Asphalt Wiki more swiftly and with less work involved.

Some recent discussion about a new admin can be found on this page and a poll, which shows that 20 voters think that there should be a new admin in the Asphalt Wiki can be found from the Asphalt Wiki main page.

I'm in favor of the proposition by Simmia that there should be more than one new admin.

Meeting the Adoption Guidelines
 * Is the wikia inactive? There is some editing being done, but before the latest influx (~40 days) it was bit quiet at the Wiki. The only admin of the Wiki has been inactive for 60 days or more (for 380 days to be exact).
 * Are the candidates eligible to adopt? I don't have the faintest idea, but I have a feeling that they are.
 * Are the candidates contributing to the wikia's content? Yes, yes and yes. They all have edited on the wikia for at least a week, they all have created at least one new page and they all are currently editing the wikia. In the last criteria Candidate 4 (Fabien Gameloft) differs from the other candidates - he is active more sporadically than the others, but for instance the outcome of the car page template revision, which he initiated, was impressive, to say the least.
 * Are the candidates building the community? In the second criteria about building the Wiki ("You keep the wikia looking well-tended and up to date") all the candidates perform very well. In the first criteria about communication ("You make an effort to talk to other users"), however, the baby steps have been taken by the candidates 1-3, but the candidate 4 is almost completely silent. There's much to improve in the field of communication, but I believe that the candidates 1-3 will step-up to the occasion and perform at least adequately well in their new roles, if they are promoted to be admins on the Asphalt Wiki.
