Hi Joe, I'm here on behalf of the Fast and Furious Wikia. I know that you'll read everything I'm about to tell you in my adoption request when it's reviewed but I'm doing this to show the commitment to the adoption and to outline the reasons why certain criteria should be abrogated for this adoption.

Firstly, the current admin MJLogan95 is now always active, and as he is currently the only admin it's just not acceptable for such a large community. He is quite stubborn to yield and there is a lack of real activity from him, I don't even think he's actually made an edit in a few months. This just isn't acceptable for this community as it needs constant attention as there is a lot of vandalism within the community that needs to be repaired but it can't be because it is too intense for one user and needs admin provisions to fix.

Secondly, the wiki is really outdated and antiquated. It has not been given the proper care it should've when it comes to its look which really gives it an unappealing effect and lures users away from the community. Not to mention all the broken links that need to be fixed or corrected but can't due to reasons I will explain further down. We want to attract more users but obviously we can't without the necessary provisions and the lack of care from the primary admin as the other, I think 7-10 admins who have been inactive for up to five years.

Thirdly, the wiki navigation and many pages, links, main pages need to be updated to reflect the current state of the franchise. There is currently a film being released in August as well as the final two films Fast 9 and Fast 10 being released over the next two years, and we can't even reflect this because of the lack of attention to the wiki from the admin and obviously us users can't do it.

Finally, nearly every page is locked, preventing users from editing unless they create new pages, which has been done meaning there are duplicate pages which need to be cleaned up, not to mention as I stated above, there are broken links which we can't fix which makes the community unappealing and will draw users away.

Ultimately, we want to completely revamp the wiki, make it a user-friendly experience and make it something that it is not at the moment, as well as establish a firm, fresh new leadership team, which is why I'm appealing to you. I am asking that if possible, could the rule about the 60 day inactivity from an admin rule be abolished for this instance, yes it shows that he has been active recently, but responding to a comment doesn't really count, because as soon as he does that, he disappears.

If possible, we would like all current admins abolished (which I understand is a rule for admins who haven't edited for over a year so MJLogan will hold onto his rights unless determined otherwise by Fandom Staff), so we can establish a new team. I am requesting Administrator and Bureaucrat rights so I can fix the wiki and make it something that it isn't and needs to be.

Thanks for taking the time to consider the request. - Daniel
