Community Central:Adoption requests

Parkour (Declined)

 * Is the wiki inactive? - Yup, it is inactive, based on:
 * Are you eligible to adopt? - This is problem, because before one month I discovered a wiki, but I'm currently working on it and I think I can handle two of them at one time.
 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content? - Yes, I have written about 20 articles in dif. formats and edited aprox. the same number of other articles.
 * Are you building the community? - I'm doin parkour in daily basis, I am in many communities of parkour and freerunning teams and portals. I would base community building on that.

Amatio
 * Hi Amatio, I'm glad you're interested in parkour -- I've always been sad that this wiki hasn't really gotten off the ground because I can imagine a wonderful, active sites full of videos and instructions and people comparing notes about moves and locations and all.
 * However, I don't see that you've made any edits on the parkour wiki yet, and that's a requirement before you can become an admin. If you start making edits today, build lots of new pages, and invite your parkour friends to join in, I'll be happy to give you the rights in a week or two.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 17:59, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, will try my best ;)
 * I'm closing this request for now since I haven't seen any new edits from you. Please feel free to open a new adoption request when you have more time to devote to the site.  — Catherine (talk) 23:31, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Friday the 13th Wiki (Accepted)
Requesting adoption of the Friday the 13th Wiki, which has been without an active admin or bureaucrat for some time, the creator's last edit being almost a year ago. Currently I'm the only serious editor there (IPs and some named editors do occasionally show up though) and the bulk of the Wiki's content was made by me. -- Lord Crayak 21:59, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent work; I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well -- I strongly suggest you see if you qualify for a Wikia Spotlight as it would be great to highlight this project on all our other wikis during the Halloween season.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 18:08, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

The Godfather The Game Wiki (Accepted)
I am interested in adopting this wiki. (http://godfatherthegame.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) It has not been updated by someone other that me for more than 8 months, but the wiki itself has promise. --Constantinos2 02:12, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good work -- please use your new admin rights well! — Catherine (talk) 18:22, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Simpsons Fanon (Accepted)
I would like to adopt the simpsons fanon wiki (http://simpsonsfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Simpsons_Fanon) I edit on there but no one else does. I have high hopes for the wiki and want to make it good!

Anniemoose98,  User talk:Anniemoose98 Wanna say Hi?  15:11, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Annie, the admin Young Piece was active there relatively recently. I've left a note for him asking if he's planning to continue working on the wiki, and you can discuss it with him as well.  If he's not going to be active I'll be happy to give you the rights.  — Catherine (talk) 18:38, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you- It is just that his most recent edits were all on his user page... no where else--Anniemoose98,  User talk:Anniemoose98 Wanna say Hi?  20:32, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, but talking to him is still the right place to start. I'll follow up with you next week to see if he has responded. — Catherine (talk) 21:27, October 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, thank you --Anniemoose98,Wanna say Hi? [[User talk:Anniemoose98|21:32, October 7, 2009 (UTC)]]


 * Glad to see he's given you the admin rights. Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 23:32, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

jak fan fiction (Accepted)
Hi i'm Technobliterator, and I'm concerned about jakfanfcition.wikia.com. It hasn't got an active admin, so it can't grow and thus it cn't be friends with the Jak and Daxter wiki. i think i can help out, put in a rules system and perhaps help it grow. Thank you.--Technobliterator 18:46, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Technobliterator -- I've given you the admin rights. Please don't fuss too much about rules at this stage -- it's much more important to be friendly and welcoming to new editors (which gets them to want to behave) than to have lots of rules in place (which try to force people to behave).  Banning is not a punishment; it's just a tool to stop people from doing things that need to be cleaned up afterwards.  Concentrate on creating new stories and inviting fun people to do the same, and soon you'll be as large and active as some of our other big fanon wikis.   Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 18:46, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Tales of Pirates Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I would like to request co-adminship for the tales of pirates wiki.

It has no active users and the 2 admins are inactive too. I left a message on their talkpage to request co-adminship, but there has been no activity at all.

I've been working on this tales of pirates wiki since dec08 and boosted it to a 2000+ articles wiki with over 1.5k page views per day. Luckily there is no abuse of any kind, but I would like to request co-adminship to amend the monaco-sidebar and to delete some pages. Thank you! Ardra 21:10, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Brilliant work, Ardra! I'm delighted to give you admin rights, and look forward to seeing what you do with the place.  Thank you!  — Catherine (talk) 18:50, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you Catherine, I will use them well! Ardra 20:26, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Ebay wiki (Declined)
please, there is no active users at all. Hellers4
 * Hi Hellers4, we'd be pleased to see an empty wiki become active, but I don't see that you've made any edits there yet. Can you please start fixing up the main page and creating articles?  I'm guessing that "how to" articles would do very well there.  Once you've put in a little work on the wiki I'll be happy to give you the admin rights.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 18:56, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Wakfu Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I would like to request administration rights over the Wakfu Wikia, as I believe it has been abandoned by the existing administration for the following reasons:


 * 1) The "Candidates for Deletion" category has held a number of articles (duplicates, forgotten articles) for a number of months now, with no apparent move to delete them.
 * 2) A thread, here, on the Wakfu Official Forums about the wiki has not seen any significant discussion, even after a minor revival to discuss precisely the lack of progression.
 * 3) Three of the people who identify as being in control of the Wiki (when it was originally set up) have not posted on the official forum in a number of months. Two of them have not posted since 2008, and the other only briefly visited the forum with a single post in an unrelated "Ruin a Wish" game-thread in April 2009.

There is a question about one of the criteria though: "No sustained editing by other users" is not entirely met, as Sauronzg has been active over the past month updating a few of the pages (mostly related to the same main article).

Wakfu, which is currently still in Beta development, has recently undergone a large rewrite of the game (it might easily described as an entirely different game). This occurred roughly at the beginning of September. Sauronzg is an active member of the Wakfu Official Forum, as he was when the Wakfu.wikia.com was initially set up, and is as willing as I am to see the wiki becomes as successful as it should. So I believe he has restarted editing the wikia in good-faith that the admins are still around. If I am successful in this adoption then I would immediately grant him proper rights in recognition of his contributions (he still only has member rights).

I, myself, am also a well known contributor on the Wakfu Official Forum (under the name GoldfishGod), and author of a number of guides found there (most of which have been used as the basis for the some of the articles on wakfu.wikia). I have also been in a high-up position of both the NWN and NWN2 wikis. For NWN, starting as a basic member, I was given additional user-rights as recognition for my contributions, and for NWN2 I was granted those same rights on its creation for my continuing work and helped structure much of what remains there today.

I do not wish to see the current administration stripped of all their rights as they have been fundamental in getting wakfu.wikia started, and they may wish to return to it in the future. However for the moment, they appear absent, and I would at least like to assume caretakership of it if possible (though I do intend to do something more extensive than merely babysitting). --Defunc7 15:51, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * A quick update, we're discussing the issue here: Sauronzg's discussion page and Pallas-athene (the original founder, and current lead admin) agrees with this course of action.
 * A slightly different issue, Sauronzg apparently cannot currently play the game due to a bug, so he may not be interested in editing the wiki at the moment.--Defunc7 19:13, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Hi Defunc7,

I'm glad to see Pallas-athene agrees -- I've left a note on his/her talk page showing how to use the Special:UserRights page to promote admins. Good luck, the wiki is looking wonderful! — Catherine (talk) 19:41, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Spectrobes Wiki (Accepted)
Hello wikia. My name is M-NUva. I would like to ask for admin rights on the Spectrobes Wikia. I have been on the wiki for a short time but I need more rights so that the editing process that I am going through will be a success. I need the ability to delete pages considering that many pages need to be merged or expanded and cannot stay the way they are. I know that I have not done too much to the wikia but I am already on the featured users list and want to get this wikia running so that people that need to access the information on spectrobes will be able to get it.
 * Great job, I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 19:45, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I will make sure that the job gets done!! M-NUva

Lost Odyssey (Declined)
I've been editing the Lost Odyssey Wiki for awhile now. I was offered adminship once and turned it down as at the time I did not feel I could devote myself to it. However now I do have the time and ambition to devote myself to taking care of Lost Odyssey for the foreseeable future. None of the other admins seem to be taking much if any active role in this wiki. I don't need to be totally in-charge of things but if I had enough privileges to say edit and update the side bar, or delete redundant un-needed pages and what not I think that I could do this wiki a lot of good. Thank you for your consideration. Ilayas 23:47, October 5, 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Ilayas -- since there's an active community, I've given bureaucrat (admin-promoting) rights to User:Feauce, the active admin, and you and other community members can discuss providing you with admin rights. Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 14:07, October 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * I'd like to support Ilayas on this matter; I know I haven't got anything to do with this, but Feauce hasn't been making many (useful) edits, and the community is small, thereby Ilayas has done a lot for the Wiki; he should gain sysop rights. Thanks for your understanding. Mark (Talk) • (Contribs) 14:49, October 13, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you for your support! But all I asked for was adminship and I do have it now. Thanks to Feauce promoting me. While I wouldn't mind being a Bureaucrat honestly I don't have enough knowledge of wiki mark up to really feel comfortable doing so. There's just a lot that I don't know how to do. But I'm learning so perhaps some day I'll take over the reins. :) Ilayas 19:36, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Middle-earth (Closed)
Searching for Middle Earth I find there are numerous Wikias out there, which have it in their name, but either one article or zero articles at all upon them. Since Middle-earth is the proper name, I'd like to take over that one. http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Middle-Earth currently has nothing but a link to another Wikia, which has zero articles upon it. I believe all of J.R.R. Tolkien's works could be featured here, not just those from The Lord of the Rings, but things from other novels as well.  D r e a m Focus  02:28, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * I know it says you should contribute to the wikia you wish to adopt, but my attempts to do so had problems. When editing at http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Middle-Earth it puts the new articles on the general Wikia instead! The information I was copying over and converting from pages deleted at the main Wikipedia, ended up placed here by mistake.  D r e a m Focus  02:47, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * I have found that http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page is most complete and has the information I was seeking to preserve. I look at the other Wikia, and I'm curious who controls them. Someone should have a proper redirect to http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page instead of just another Wikia which has no articles on it. Who do I contact to fix that? Or does someone have to adopt it before they can change it?  D r e a m Focus  03:53, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * You're right, the hfb.wikia project at Middle-Earth appeared to be an empty, abandoned LotR project; I've now closed it and redirected its directory page to The Lord of the Rings page. And as you discovered, content doesn't belong on the Central Wikia at www.wikia.com, but on the individual wikis like lotr.wikia.com -- thanks for helping to correct the error.  We welcome your help at the LotR wiki -- it looks like there are several active admins and many users who would be glad to have new enthusiasts join them.  Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 14:35, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

KND Wiki (Accepted)
Hi, I'd like to ask if I can adopt the Codename: Kids Next Door wiki. The admins have both been inactive for several months and there is a lot of vandalism going on in numerous sections. I found the place when I was looking for information on the show and since then, I've been hooked on editing and trying to better the place. (: Fairly 05:17, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry. Withdrawing my request for now. A banned member used my IP address and got me banned for today in return, so I have to clear that up before I go ahead with this. I'm sorry for the trouble. I'll be back though! (: Fairly 22:34, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hello, I'm back, and would like to request once again if I can please adopt the Codename Kids Next Door wiki, because I really think I could help it quite a bit. There are active users, but not many edit on a daily basis. The admins haven't been present for months, and I would love it if I were handed the opportunity to take care of a wiki with such great potential. (: Fairly 00:42, October 10, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for your good work -- I've given you the admin rights, please use them well! — Catherine (talk) 14:37, October 13, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much! Fairly 21:36, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Queen Wiki (On hold)
Hi Catherine,

I would like to adopt the Queen Wiki.

The reasons for this are:

--Croon 14:25, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) I am a huge Queen Fan.
 * 2) There are very few edits in a while
 * 3) I have edited there myself.
 * Hi Croon -- it looks like there are some other active editors there. Can you please start some discussions about electing new admins, and try contacting the old ones such as Green22?  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 16:18, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Mario Wiki (Accepted)
I am requesting bureaucrat powers on Mario Wiki. I had succeeded in my Request for Bureaucrat powers there. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:47, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Wait, why are you on here if you're already a bureaucrat? Could you please elaborate, because I don't understand what you're saying, and Catherine probably won't, either. ~JCM 22:13, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * It means he had passed a vote/discussion on the matter but nobody locally on the wiki can give him the rights, it's pretty common... (although links are usually nicer.) ~Joey~   ^Talk^  01:30, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * link to request before I removed it as successful. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 12:52, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the link! I've given you the 'crat rights.  You may now use Special:UserRights to promote more admins that the community agrees upon.  Good work!  — Catherine (talk) 16:21, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Forza wiki (Accepted)
I'd like to request adoption of the Forza wiki. There have been no edits since May, 2009. I have been tidying up the general sections of the site, and have begun adding content to the wiki. I started by completing the track list page and have now begun to add individual pages for each of the tracks to include maps and brief information (3 complete so far). I'd like to get as much content on there as possible because Forza 3 is shipping this month so there will be a lot more info that will need to be added. My goal would be to create something similar to the Fallout wiki, in that it would be a central location for info on all of the games in the series.

Metal dragen 01:14, October 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Good work! I've given you the admin rights, and we'd love to see the wiki ready when the game ships.  You might try contacting Richard 1990, one of our gaming helpers, for tips and ideas.  And check in with the Logo Creation wiki if you need help with a new logo.  Best wishes!  — Catherine (talk) 16:27, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

The Cleveland Show (Accepted)
I've been one of the main editors at the wiki since the page became active and currently have sysop rights. Anyways the user who has the bureaucrat rights has never returned after initially creating the wiki sometime ago and now i would like to grant a user or two some additional privileges so they can help contribute and keep the wiki running smoothly but I know i need bureaucrat rights for that so I was hoping it can be granted. I've logged the most time on the wiki, have the most edits, etc and would really like full privileges so the page can be the best it can, thanks Grande13 13:20, October 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent work, I've given you the bureaucrat rights. Please choose wisely when promoting new admins using Special:UserRights!  — Catherine (talk) 16:29, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Fairly Odd Parents Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I am a frequent editor at the Fairly Odd Parents Wiki. Not long ago the original admins left and two users, CakeMistake and The Forgotten Beast were given admin status to replace them. Unfortunately nobody was given bureaucrat status, and the only bureaucrat is the founder of the Wiki who has not been active since October 2007 and has no recorded edits to the Wiki. I have talked to the only active admin (The Forgotten Beast) who alone cannot shoulder the load, there are possibly hundreds of pages that need to be moved or deleted and we have people vandalizing every day, plus the CSS code is a little outdated as well. He has agreed to make me and another user admin (my talk page) but nobody can hand out any staff positions without an active bureaucrat. I think that me and The Forgotten Beast should be granted bureaucrat status so that we can properly maintain this wiki. Beast has been an active admin the longest and seems the most familiar with the users and what vandals to look out for. I have a good understanding of the wiki framework and I've even been running a bot, which if I could also ask while I'm here if I could have my bot flagged as such? Thank you for your consideration. --Lord Beckett 17:33, October 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Good work -- I've given you and Beast 'crat rights, and flagged the Dinklebot. Please use your new powers wisely and well!  — Catherine (talk) 16:33, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Urban Terror wikia (Accepted)
Hello. I would like to be an administrator on the Urban Terror wikia. I have edited multiple pages (about 5 or so), and I edit wikipedia (whenever it is plausible).

I think the creator is inactive, so I would like to admin it.

Thank you for your time -Kyle CMK633 [ACE]Clubs (Urban Terror)
 * Good work Ace, I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 04:15, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

Deadliest Warrior Wiki (Accepted)
Astrotorical, 3:40 PM australian eastern daylight savings time
 * Is the wiki inactive? - well i suppose, there are not many articles and the users do not seem to be contributing
 * Are you eligible to adopt? - yes i suppose i am. i have i think two or three wiki's at most but i am well equiped to manage these
 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content? - Yes, i have made a logo, a main page and an article. i like to get it looking good before i start
 * Are you building the community? - i believe Deadliest Warrior is a pretty cool show but as the community is basically 3 people i could definatley build it up.
 * Good work, I've given you the admin rights, please use them well! — Catherine (talk) 23:35, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Gaiapedia (On hold)

 * Is the wiki inactive? In a way, though there has been at least 5 people editing occasionally, me included. While Admin Alyssachanpc has been inactive for 60 days, plus more. It is like she disappeared from the Net altogether.


 * Are you eligible to adopt? Yes.


 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content? I have made quite a lot of edits, I am surprised at how long they take to do, but it can be fun. I also created new pages to keep up to date. There are still, of course, more pages that need to be updated. But getting the new things out of the way is best for now.


 * Are you building the community? I did post in the Gaiapediea forum, and I answered a number of questions on the Gaiapedia Answer wikia page, also noting that some were not well answered, so I rewrote them. And I also rephrased some of the questions.


 * I've left talk messages to two Editors, and both responded positively. We are trying to coordinate getting up Character profiles. And though it doesn't happen often, I would at least like to know what I can do for security against vandalism.

Thank you for considering. Unicogirl 14:54, October 8, 2009 (UTC)


 * I think it would be worthwhile to discuss this with Dantman -- he's been a strong admin there in the past but he works on many different wikis so he may not have seen your attempts to bring the place back to life. The wiki is active enough that I'd like to leave it to Dantman and/or other active members to decide on adminship -- can you please start a forum topic about electing new admins?  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 23:44, October 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * I did leave a comment to Dantman on October 8, 2009. But I will try the forum method and contacting him again. I did notice that he is indeed a strong Admin, as in keeping things in check, so I should learn from that. But if he is too busy with other wikis, then I would hope that I will get to adopt or have some rights, due to the other Admins being MIA. -- I noticed that his edits to Gaiapedia are spaced apart by weeks or months, I would assume this is because he works on other wikis. -- Even though we need more Editors, I would like to settle this matter before I start promoting Gaiapedia on Gaia. The Gaiapedia is active in a sense of editing, but I don't think it is active enough that people would discuss adminship. How many people would need to post in order for this to carry out? Unicogirl 19:59, October 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * I have left a comment on Dantman's page: Talkpage: 74 Gaiapedia, and his Gaiapedia page Dantman Talkpage: Gaiapedia, and I created the forum topic Discuss Gaiapedia adminship. This was around 19:17, so after submitting my post on his page, he contacted me quickly. He said the Pedia is abandoned, admin wise, but I should still discuss adminship with others. Unicogirl 19:59, October 17, 2009 (UTC)


 * I abandoned the wiki since I don't even visit Gaia Online anymore and left it to the other admin and users. So I leave it to what the current community decides. ~ NOTASTAFF Daniel Friesen (DanTMan, Nadir Seen Fire) (talk) (tricks) (current topic) Oct 17, 2009 @ 20:03 (UTC)


 * Thank you for posting Dantman, and for the tips. -- And to Catherine, I wanted to change my Wikia Name to the name I use on Gaia Online, is there a way for me to request this without making a new Account? Because if I ever become an Admin to anything, I would like it to be under a name I frequently use on other sites. Unicogirl 13:48, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

QuakeWiki Request
The last time an Admin was online was over a year ago. I'm planning on helping bring this Wiki back, possibly beyond it's previous popularity. I think it may need to be updated to the latest Wikia version (maybe not, I've never been an Admin before). I'll be working on recruiting a crack squad of Admins to help me out, too.


 * Is the wiki inactive? - It's just me now.
 * Are you eligible to adopt? - Yes, I do not own any other Wikias.
 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content? - Yes, I have made multiple pages and page edits. So far I'm at 75, with about ~30 so new pages.
 * Are you building the community? - Yes, I am encouraging all editing and site traffic as best I can.

Shaleblade 10:42, October 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * Great work, and thanks for checking with Joylock, the other active user. I've given you the admin rights -- please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 23:47, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Degrassi Wiki (On hold)
Hello,There is only one admin on this wiki but he is completeley inactive. There is a bunch of spam and spam pages. It would be much eaasier if I could revert or delete the spam. This is why I want to adopt this wiki, Thank-You! -- Unknown4  Talk  19:53, October 8, 2009 (UTC)
 * We'd be delighted to have a new admin for this wiki. However, it looks like there are several active users there who should have a say in the matter.  Could you please start a discussion on the wiki about who should gain admin rights?  When everyone agrees we'll be happy to promote the chosen user(s).  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 23:49, October 15, 2009 (UTC)

Either me or this user Roarthe should be given rights. We both take out spam and put the delete template on spam pages. Could you give us both rights? -- Unknown4  Talk  19:30, October 19, 2009 (UTC)

Who's your favorite character (Accepted)
Hello, there is this wikia, Who's your favorite character wikia. There is only one other editor, which is the guy who made it. I make pages there and I try to contribute as much as he does. I think I'm qualified to become a sysop to help and lead that site to bigger and better things. I was just wondering if you could make me one, because I contribute a lot.--*ns0n *+k!n 01:31, October 9, 2009 (UTC)Here is the site: [http://whoisyourfavoritecharacter.wikia.com/index.php?title=User_talk:DukeChiliPeppers - Who Is Your Favorite Character? Wiki]
 * Looks like he has already given you the rights -- thanks for your hard work! — Catherine (talk) 00:01, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Scream wiki (Accepted)
It's only bureaucrat and admin's last edit was a year ago as well as last log in. The wiki has got a good collection of article's already so it won't need much editing. I want to become the site's bureaucrat to design it, help with pages and appoint other trusted members admin so they can assist also in the wiki's growth as I did with the Nightmare on Elm Street wiki. Thank you Tangeled Web Weaver 10:43, October 9, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good work, I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well -- if you can get up to 100 articles quickly we may be able to get you in for a Halloween Spotlight ad.  Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 00:03, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Fusionfall Fanon Wikia (Accepted)
The owner has been inactive since May and other than my edits today, he is (was) the only one doing anything to work on the Wiki. I can at least get it advertised, get a few members, and get it active, unlike him. EDIT: I'd like to withdraw my request as of right now. I'll try to contact the wiki admin and see if he can get the place active again.

Monster Hunter Frontier Online Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I'd like to request Bureaucrat status on mhfo.wikia.com. The current (and only) bureaucrat/sysop hasn't logged in since May. Since I began working on the site I've added aroung 30 or 40 articles, but I'm gearing up to add -many- more. I tried to get in contact with the current bureaucrat, but I haven't heard anything back.


 * Is the wiki inactive? Other than myself, it appears as though the last edit was in June, so I would say yes.


 * Are you eligible to adopt? Yes.


 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content? Yes. I probably have more edits than I should, but when I began work on the wiki it was practically empty, so there is a ton of work to do. I am working on a huge amount of translation from Japanese (with which I am only medicore), so I'm sure quite a few of those edits are fixes.


 * Are you building the community? Yes. I am active in the Monster Hunter community elsewhere on the web, but right now mhfo.wikia.com is barren, has very few users, and no community to speak of. The site needs a lot of tlc, but I believe it can be the best english language resource for MHFO on the web.

Thanks! --diphen 01:27, October 10, 2009 (UTC)


 * Excellent work! I've given you the rights and I look forward to seeing the wiki grow with you taking care of it.  You have enough articles -- please check to see if you meet the other requirements for a spotlight ad.  Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 00:09, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

The Cleveland Show and Family Guy Wiki (Accepted)
Any chance of greasing the skids for an adminship on The Cleveland Show Wiki? Grande13 is bucking for a much deserved position of Bureaucrat and I'm sitting by impotently as we had a serial vandal there today and am myself interested in being an admin. We've both logged numerous edits on multiple wikis including the Family Guy Wiki. --Buckimion 22:24, October 11, 2009 (UTC)


 * I've provided links for both wikis

 

Both are located in the wiki's main forums although they dont get the most activity, so I also posted links to the specific forum topic on the news page and even messaged a few members to voice their opinions. There are a lot of users on the wikis although people come and go in spurts so its tough to get people to respond besides the really active members that almost contribute on a daily/weekly basis. Anyways, there have been no objections Grande13 13:02, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks, I've promoted Grande13 to bureaucrat on both wikis. Glad to see you looking after these wikis!  — Catherine (talk) 00:12, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Wolfenstein Wiki (Accepted)
Hi there! I want to become an administrator of Wolfenstein wiki (http://wolfenstein.wikia.com/wiki/Wolfenstein_Wiki). I made a lot efforts to improve it recently, and want to continue that way.

Well, I guess it is, partially. There are only two or three major editors on the Wiki, and no administrators.
 * Is the wiki inactive?

I guess I am:)
 * Are you eligible to adopt?

Yes, I contributed a lot in the past month.
 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content?

Well, though I communicated with other users, I never did such thing. But I'll do my best.

Jo-Jo's Bizarre Adventure (Accepted)
Hello, I'd like to request the administrator/bureaucrat status of http://jjba.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page. I'm the the only person that is log on and the only one to make edits. I been adding articles, pictures, creating links and repairing the otherwise broken links and fixing the missing pictures. But I can't delete the pages which are wrongly name which I found to be quite a bit. This one the reason I request it.


 * Is the wiki inactive?
 * Totally, I never seen anyone here I hardly think anyone knows it even exist, so yes.


 * Are you eligible to adopt?
 * Yes and I hope too!


 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content?
 * All the time, actually I do two to five edits daily and in weekends I do five to eight, so that a big fat YES.


 * Are you building the community?
 * I try but Jojo Bizarre Adventure is not just for everybody and those who like it know not of this website so I'm hoping to change that by becoming the administrator and I know this not a game. I'm willing to take responsibility for it.
 * Good work -- I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 03:24, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Mafia Wars Wiki (Accepted)
Dear Wikia Admin, I am the top contributor of Mafia Wars Wiki. I already have the support of Wolfman2000 (2nd Top Contributor) in running this Wiki if we are given the rights to Mafia Wars Wiki. I would also like to pull in Ploppies to be part of the 3 man admin team if we are given a chance. He has already create a logo for the Mafia Wars Wiki. I dare to say that 75% of the contents in Mafia Wars Wiki today are contribute by us. Myself have focus alot on the Job section, while Ploppies have always providing information on the latest additions of weapons etc. Wolfman2000 have been always focusing on individual items pages. 3 of us will make a good team if we are given the chance. Thank You. . Edricteo
 * Good work -- I've given you and Wolfman the admin rights -- you can feel free to give them to Ploppies (using Special:Userrights as well if you feel the wiki needs more admin coverage, but a small wiki generally doesn't need very many admins. Please keep working on making this wiki great, and spreading the word about it out on the web!  — Catherine (talk) 18:51, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Russian Half-Life wiki (Accepted)
Hi, I'd like to adopt the Russian Half-Life wiki. The last edit was made more than a year ago, it has only three (inactive) users, and there's work to do. I need to upload a new logo, and make changes in the css among other things. If you could appoint me bureaucrat, that would be nice! ШЛЫК 18:34, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the hard work -- I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 20:36, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Elder Scrolls (Accepted)
I would like to adopt the Elder Scrolls wiki again. The Elder Scrolls: The Infernal City is going to be released on Noverber 24, which is a little over a month from now. This means that there's is probably going to be more activity there, so an active administrator is needed.

I used to an bureaucrat for that wiki, but a "control freak" (his own words) administrator decided to strip my administrative rights away from me in order to assume power for himself. After the climax of the dispute, that administrator left in order to start a splinter wiki free from Wikia oversight. Now that administrator and his followers are gone, and they don't contribute to that wiki anymore.

Presently, I'm the only active, ongoing contributor to that wiki. The past dispute has been resolved, and I wish to restore the wiki to its active, newcomer-welcoming self. Once the new book is released, I'll create new articles for the wiki, and then have it spotlighted. As a trusted administrator on over five wikis, I feel that I'm more than qualified for the position. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 19:56, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'm glad to see that the previous disputes are done with. I am trusting you to deal with any potential future conflicts wisely, and ask for help if you need it.  I've restored your admin and bureaucrat rights, please use them well.  — Catherine (talk) 20:52, October 16, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks. I'll make sure to. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 00:42, October 17, 2009 (UTC)

Jrock Wiki (Accepted)
I am interested in adopting the Jrock Wiki here --Jrock Wiki. It has been inactive for quite some time and I'm almost exclusively sure that the creator has abandoned it. I have created, deleted, and edited several articles on it and while I do have another wiki that could be seen as abandoned the truth is that I simply stopped work on it so that I could meet the time requirement of 60 days without being given access to a new wiki. I didn't abandon it but if I do get to be the Administrator of the Jrock Wiki then I will delete the other one that I have, Currently there are no other users on the wiki but I hope to bring in new people and build a community.

Pirates of the Caribbean (Accepted)
The Pirates of the Caribbean wikia is pretty much dead as far as admin activity goes. There is an "active" admin listed on the administrators page, however, he/she hasn't edited in over a year. There is another admin that randomly seems to pop up ( very infrequent though ) and upon checking his/her patrol log, they haven't made any manual patrols in many months. The site is riddled with a lot of vandalism and spam pages, not to mention vandalism in articles. I have a lot of wiki experience and would be willing to assist in cleaning this site up.--Mandi talk 22:51, October 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good work -- I've given you the admin rights, and look forward to seeing you improve the wiki. Hopefully it will be ready for great things when On Stranger Tides is ready for launch!  — Catherine (talk) 23:35, October 16, 2009 (UTC)

Element Wikia
Hello Wikia. My name is Mr. Elements. I recently looked up this wikia. Seeing no one is making progress on this wiki, I would appreciate it if I was given adminship over the wiki. There has been no sustained editing, and the admin has been out since April 18th, 2008. I have not founded any wikis, and am not an admin on any wiki. I have uploaded pictures of the first "group" on the Periodic Table, if that counts as editing. I have not created a new page, but hopefully, in the near future, I will get on it. I have not run a wiki before, but I've seen how it's done, and can probably can keep things under control. I edit on two other wikis: Wookieepedia and Groovypedia, so I do know the works of a wiki. Please allow me to take over. This wiki could go SO far, and I would hate for it to be lost. Please consider. Thank you. Mr. Elements
 * Great work, Mr. E -- I've given you the admin rights and I'd love to see you do lots more with this wiki. Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 21:13, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

PlayStation Wikia (Declined)
I would like to request this PlayStation Wiki. Mangomango, 7:09 pm, October 18, 2009 (UTC)
 * I don't see any edits from you at PlayStation Wiki -- please join in editing there and then we'll be happy to consider an adminship request! — Catherine (talk) 21:30, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Sly Cooper Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I'd like to be an admin in the Sly Cooper Wiki, because I have what it takes to help out the wiki and I'm an admin in 2 other wikis so it also helps out, I'm also contributing to the wiki because some anon user are putting false information, I'm going to ask othr people from other wiki to help out with the wiki too, please accept.--  Ace  Infinity  23:13, October 17, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Ace, I don't see a lot of edits in the mainspace for you there -- mostly your user page and talk pages. Could you please put in a little more work to create new pages, expand and link existing ones together, and maybe update the main page a bit?  Then I'll be happy to look at giving you admin rights.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 22:13, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Malazan Wiki (Accepted)
Please add me to the sysop and/or bureaucrat groups on the Malazan Wiki.
 * Is the wiki inactive?
 * Yes, there has been no sustained editing in the past 6 months and the current and only admin last edited 549 days ago.


 * Are you eligible to adopt?
 * Yes, I've not been an admin before. I have not been blocked on any wiki previously.


 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content?
 * Yes, I have 345+ total edits (136 Main edits) on the Malazan Wiki and I have created several new pages.


 * Are you building the community?
 * Yes, I'm attempting to, there has only been one other editor since I joined (they haven't replied yet) and I'm building the Community Forum. I'm overhauling the wiki at the moment, but I need sysop privileges to change/clean up some of things I want to though.

 * Excellent work -- I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well — Catherine (talk) 22:14, October 20, 2009 (UTC)

Winniepedia (Accepted)

 * Is the Wiki inactive? - Yes. It is officially listed as inactive and there is no moderator or admin activity. The Wiki still has the basic look on the mainpage of one that was just started, even though it's been around for over two years (one of the first things I intend to overhaul if made admin.)
 * Are you eligible to adopt? - Yes, this would be my first Wiki that I've had any admin privileges for and I certainly haven't been blocked anywhere.
 * Are you contributing to the Wiki's content? - I just started working on the Wiki's content around a week ago and I've already added a number of new pages and categories. In fact, I think I already may have more edits than anyone else.
 * Are you building the community? - Well, it's kind of hard when there is only one other active user at the moment, but I did talk with him on his talk page and compliment him on his recent work. I certainly do add new pictures. If made admin, I intend to try to start recruiting back some of the Wiki's past contributors and also start adding video and news content as the like, as well as look for new members.

George B. (talk ) 06:35, October 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * Nice work, George. I've given you the admin rights, please use them well.  (Also, you may have an unclosed Italics tag in your signature -- you may be missing an &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;/nowiki&gt;.  Please fix this so you don't change other people's text, entered after your sig, into italics.)  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 22:20, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks! I'll be getting started on it soon and I appreciate you getting that set up! Also, thanks for the tip on the signature-- I have closed the tag. (Though, it's curious, because I've been editing on here for at least a couple years and nobody has ever noticed it before...) George B. (talk ) 02:52, October 21, 2009 (UTC)

Discworld
I would like to request to adopt the Discworld wiki. It's been inactive for over two months, and is in serious need of overhaul. I've begun importing templates and rebuilding the category structure with article content to follow, but I need rights to import code to the common.css and .js and delete a large amount of unneeded articles. I am a veteran wiki contributor, and hold administrator rights on three separate wikis—Wookieepedia, the Harry Potter Wiki, and the Firefly and Serenity Database. - Cavalier One ( Talk ) 10:24, October 20, 2009 (UTC)
 * All looks good :) I've given you the rights there -- sannse (talk) 23:31, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

The Shield Wiki
Requesting adoption of The Shield Wiki... Check the wiki to see how it has improved. Thanks! Thief12 22:14, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) Only one editor, other than me, has edited an article in the last two months.
 * 2) I haven't adopted any other Wiki, although I've been a frequent contributor to the 24 Wiki for about a year.
 * 3) In two months, I've contributed more than 1,000 edits to the Wiki, a lot of them new pages.
 * 4) I've also added pictures, created infobox, and other stuff to make the wiki look more clean.
 * Hi, it's looking good there! But the last edit by an admin was less than 60 days ago.  I would suggest trying to contact that admin first, and then discussing this with Ggjk if the admin doesn't return.  It looks like he's been pretty active there too and should have a say in this -- sannse (talk) 23:37, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

The Tribe Wiki
I would like to adopt The Tribe Wiki. The administrator hasn't been active for more than two years, and there are no active editors apart from a couple of minor edits now and then. I did some editing there before, but eventually gave up hope that it would ever be a proper wiki. The show is now airing once more on TV, which means that more users will eventually arrive. I want to make the wiki more organized and add more content for when they do, and eventually a wiki worthy of the show. -- Tribemaster (Talk) 22:36, October 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi, good to see you back. It looks like there is another active user there now - so I would suggest talking to them first, and deciding on who should have admin rights.  At the moment, they are editing more than you, and it's only fair that they get a say too :) -- sannse (talk) 23:40, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

This page has only 4 page and 2 users,including me.So i wish to adopted it.
 * Hi, you need to link to the wiki you would like to adopt so that I can look at it. If there is another active user there, you should also talk to them first and decide who should be admin.  And don't forget to edit! it's always good to do that before adopting -- sannse (talk) 23:42, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

Dragon Quest Wikia Administration
Hello,

I just wanted to say that I am the best candidate for "adopting" the dragonquest wikia because there is nobody else making main edits, just talk page edits. I am made about 30 edits in the past few days because I want to make Dragon Quest wikia better. I have been on the Final Fantasy Wikia at one point but I never really took it seriously then but I learned how to do most of the editing techniques. I have made plenty of pages and many different redirects. I also had a short stint on the Mario Party wikia but thta didn't last long because I have little knowledge about Mario Party. I have made an effort to talk to other people on the forum which includes one or two active people. We are having a few discussions right now.

Anyway, I really want to adopt this wiki and I know that I am a good choice to adopt it.
 * Do you mean dragonquest.wikia.com? I don't see any admin discussions there, so maybe you mean another one?  When you and those you are talking to have decided who should be admin, please let us know (and don't forget to link to the wiki!)  -- sannse (talk) 23:45, October 23, 2009 (UTC)

Swimming Wikia
[swimming.wikia.com Here] Is the wiki inactive? - A one ip and 2 names. Are you eligible to adopt? - Yes this is my first time. Are you contributing to the wiki's content? - I have put some content from wikipedia on this wikia and I am planing to write pages on the four strokes soon. Are you building the community? - There is only 2 people that I have seen so far. If they make another edit I will approach them. I hope I am allowed to have this privilege! 06:03, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
 * I see you've only done a few edits so far, but it's a very inactive wiki... so let's give it a go! I've set your rights, good luck! -- sannse (talk) 23:51, October 23, 2009 (UTC)
