'''How many edits have you made on that wiki? '''383 (as of 08/06/2020 09:45 GMT)

'Have you edited there each ''day for the past seven days? '''Over the past seven days, I have been an active editor and added many articles to the wiki. I have not edited every single day since I started, but I fail to see how that makes a material difference given that I could have just spammed minor edits with no changes on days where I wasn't editing if I wanted to. The demand that the adopter has to edit every single day regardless of the volume of editing is ridiculous. I do have other things to do with my time (due to the nature of the material, an editing session takes several hours).

'''How many days/months have you been editing there? '''Since 25/05/2020

'''On the wiki you wish to adopt, please go to Special:ListAdmins. Then, list here the last time an admin edited and who it was. '''The admin, Tg, last edited on 21st July 2008.

Any other information: I posted a blog post here regarding adoption so that other users have an opportunity to challenge my position.
 * Railing against the adoption rules is not really the path towards a successful adoption request. The point of the rule is to show that you're committed to being there on a near-daily basis. That's important, since we're trying to prevent abandonment — the very thing that puts wikis into the adoption process in the first place.


 * Nevertheless, I think you've complied with the spirit of the rule. There's not much of a community over there, but hopefully you'll develop one. If so, I encourage you to practice that age-old wiki norm: assume good faith, rather than thinking the deck is stacked against you. :)
