About My GTA Wiki Adotion Request
I made a request to adopt the GTA Wiki, you said that it is not eligible for adoption at this time because there have been several active admins in the last month on the wiki, however, there are no Bureaucrat team there, they are inactive, and they have been like this for a year now, they moved from wikia to new independent site off of wikia. So I think this wiki is eligible for adoption since there are no active bureaucrats, I could start a community discussion there about this topic.WikisEditor 14:51, March 3, 2011 (UTC)
 * As far as I've read, eligibility for adoption is determined by whether or not there are any active administrators on the wiki, not bureaucrats. Still, you're welcome to ask the head of the wiki (whoever that is nowadays) for permission to adopt, but I doubt if it'll be grated. -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 03:43, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

Charmed Wiki
Good morning, sorry to bother you but this morning I was going to create a couple more articles for the Charmed wiki and when I went to edit it said Khan blocked me. The reason being "Cool off period", he blocked me for 6 days for absolutely no reason. Lately there has been a lot of arguing on the wiki and I continue to remind Khan and HalliwellsAttic AKA LeonardoWyatt that we have to act as a team and the wiki is a community, they continue to make decisions amongst themselves rather than including the entire community. Barely any user has any input, the only user Khan allows to do what ever they want is GlennVP aka PerryPeverell. Lately Glenn has been changing several things and I remind Khan, Glenn and LeonardoWyatt that we need to vote and everyone's input needs to be taken into consideration. When I bring this up, Khan and LeonardoWyatt accuse me of starting arguments; I am simply stating we are a community and need to make decision together. I have dedicated over 2 years to the wiki, have over 14,000 edits, with the badges I am ranked number 1 because of the amount of edits I have made, I was an administrator until a few weeks ago when Khan removed the status for no reason. There are several other users who start arguments but Khan only blocks me telling me I need to cool off. I was minding my own business all of yesterday editing without problems then this morning Khan comes along and blocks me. It is also part of our Charmed Wiki policy that users with over 1,000 edits can not be blocked without all admins voting, there are about 5 or 6 admins, Khan yet again didn't have a vote. It is like users before have said, the status Khan has as manager of the wiki has gone to his head, he misuses the privileges that come along with the title of manager, the same goes for GlennVP AKA PerryPeverell, wiki support team removed Glenn of his admin abilities, but then Khan restored them solely for the purpose of fixing broken links, but instead lately all Glenn does is pull rank with people, lock articles and completely misuse the abilities to lock pages and block people. Several users such as ShaneBeckam have noted that Glenn tries to change the wiki to suit his own preferences but Khan does nothing.

In short, can you unblock me please? the reason for the block holds absolutely no grain of salt and is completely unreasonable.

Thanks!!

HalliwellManor HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 05:07, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

I recently looked at the block log on the Charmed Wiki and see that LeonardoWyatt extended my block for one month. This is ridiculous. Can you please remove the block? This behavior by Zac is getting out of hand. THANK!!

HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 05:07, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Your block was extended was because you called a user on our wiki a "Belgian Waffle". You have done loads of edits but they do not compare contrast to your behaviour. --

Khan - Talk- Email 10:21, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Who called GaGa a stupid bitch, posted videos about Justin Bieber being called a@@holes, continues to abuse his privileges as manager of the Charmed Wiki, not to mention who rigged the election to become manager in the first place? Not me, that would be Khan. You are too immature to be manager of a wiki. You allow personal vendettas to get in the way of making decisions. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 10:42, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also, that is what it is about, jealousy of my edits. I have created numerous, hundreds of edits on the Charmed Wiki, such as Magical Transformations, Wounds and Injuries, Piper Halliwell's Tan Boots, Prue Halliwell's Leather Jacket, and hundreds of others including profiles for actors. If I am blocked from the wiki, I want all articles I created removed, I will not have my words plagiarized on a wiki where I am not welcome. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 10:44, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

They can't be removed. One of the reasons being their part of the Charmed Wiki community now. Just because you have problems with Me, Khan and Glenn doesn't mean you can be all "I want all of my pages deleted now!!!" The fact is now, that Yes I do have a attitude problem, I have other things going in my life which adds to stress with you. I don't use my Admin Powers for personal gain. I only block someone when necessary example; JohyHalliwell. You know his history, he spams everything. I've only locked ONE page. I have to lock alot of template pages cause of JohyHalliwell. You critize everyone's edits, you make every user feel down. When we blocked you, you went onto a another Charmed site, and insulting them and made drama on their as-well. You need to cool off, for a week; a month. I don't care. you need to stop acting so superior. --LeonardoWyatt - (talk) - (contributions) 10:55, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * And who for the past what it is now, 5 months has been accused of everything from creating arguments, chasing away users, undeserving of their admin/moderator status, who has been blocked profusely numerous times for situations that other users have also been guilty of but went unpunished. Who is the one still be accused of being the only one causing trouble, who is STILL the only one being singled out and blamed for everything. A user feels down because I revert an edit? Oh yeah, that is so much to feel down about. Something to feel down about - when a user's over 14,000 edits are not valued, when a user's dedication to the wiki is pretty much disregarded, when a user's position on the wiki is taken away for no reason, when a user is continuously blocked and blamed for "starting arguments", and the list goes on and on. Now that is something to feel down about. In my opinion, Zac and Khan, Glenn as well, are too infantile in their thinking processes, they are completely egocentric and treat the wiki as their own personal playground rather than a community/team/group project. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 13:07, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * God, My name is Andrew, not Zac. I'm not egocentric. If I was like that with my admin powers, I would block everyone, lock everypage; like your doing on your Charmed Wiki. I've spent so many hours on the wiki and I've tried my best to make it a better place. Since we blocked you, there's been no fight's at all, NOTHING at all. It's been quiet for the last two days. Your behavior on the site has gone to far. you've called users names, you've critzied their edits. You even went as far as saying that I only said Chris Halliwell's middle name is Perry cause I'm obsessed with him, which is disrecpting my sexuality. You need a cool off period from the Wiki, go edit on your's for a While- okay? --LeonardoWyatt - (talk) - (contributions) 13:43, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

 * If your name is Andrew why does everyone on the wiki can you Zac? Why is it even on the Wiki main page, its says, "if you have any questions, contact Zac" and then your email address? Everyone has spent hours on the wiki, again you are trying to downplay the edits of the entire community, and making it about yourself. Also, pay attention, there was certainly an argument yesterday between Superlana and Diego about the whole main character thing. Wanting to include everyone on decisions made is not too far. You keep bringing up the criticizing thing, but you yourself are doing it right now, you continue to email Khan back and forth gossiping about me, referring to me as "that thing", saying "are we going to go through with that thing", "did you get my email about that thing". obviously about blocking me. Again, what happened to the main wiki policy about blocking users only if a vote takes place amongst ALL admins. Again, its you not wanting to include others in decisions, you have no concept of what a team is. The wiki is a community, you were going to give up your manager status back in December because you didn't want it. If you don't want the status, someone who does want it should have it. The only one starting drama is you because you are so egocentric, you say it is for bettering the wiki, but that is a lie, its all about you and wanting the wiki your way. It is also so obvious you blocked me because you are jealous of my edits and want to be number one of the edits, ie,) I saw what you were doing to get the badges, adding the category "template" to various season articles that don't even have templates. Just so you would get the categories badges and the seasons badges, like I said, you are too egocentric, you also blocked me to further your vendetta of appearing to be the best on the wiki. The wiki is not all about what you want, again WIKI=COMMUNITY and Also: FYI: The name Perry was never mentioned as being Chris's middle name, at best it is an alias. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 14:12, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Why am I explaining myself to you? Everything I said before is True. I don't care about edits, badges or whatever. It doesn't worry me, I edit cause I want to improve the pages, improve the Wiki. I don't care if you have the most edits, it doesn't worry me same with the badges. I was first a while ago and you took over me I didn't start Drama then. People are now seeing your true agenda. I'm sorry, but you're not getting unblocked until you calm down completely and stop attempting to start a vendetta agaisn't Charmed Wiki. I contact Wiki Staff ages ago about you, when me and Khan talked about removing your rights. They said they wern't going to get invovled, so there probably not going to get invovled with this either. Look, I think you're a great editor, you've re-vamped a lot of pages, added loads of photo's and made the Wiki bigger and now has more infomation. You've just gone over the top lately. I'm sorry, but that's how it is. --LeonardoWyatt - (talk) - (contributions) 14:20, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

I don't want to argue on a wikia team members talk page, but now LeonardoWyatt aka Zac aka Andrew is now trying to involve other members into this conversation. On the charmed wiki, he messaged an admin involving her in this discussion. Like I said, he is the one starting drama on the wiki and is being completely hypocritical. he says he is trying to improve articles, I think not, he is just trying to garner a high edit number and high badge number. There is no other explaination about why he consistently adds images that all ready exist on the wiki, or to include categories on pages that don't even belong in the category. Again, Merrystar, I believe your name is Wendy, SORRY for including all this on your talk page. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 14:35, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Also, I read a comment from Khan, he said they email each other to discuss promotions, excuse me but how exactly does gossiping about me have any relation to promotions? Like I said, they email back and forth to gossip about me just so they appear all innocent on the wiki, when in actuality, they are doing exactly what they accuse me of doing. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 14:37, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Also, about promotions, he said they email eachother so other users don't see it, sorry but I thought promotions are supposed to be a team/community thing. Most wikis hold votes and include everyone in promotion processes. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 14:39, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Guys, cool it. Could you please take your discussion onto your respective talk pages? Mr. Grille (contact) 14:42, March 6, 2011 (UTC).

...So my Terra, Chris Halliwell, Prue Halliwell, Glen and Kyle Brody are just there to get edits? No, I'm working hard on them ones. I'm trying to gather useful infomation. Just stop, seriously. --LeonardoWyatt - (talk) - (contributions) 14:44, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

I also received messages from people from Charmed Wiki such as PaulHalliwell saying I should not let the other users on the wiki trying to displace my dedication to the wiki or let me get me down, He even stated he doesn't know why I should start another wiki because of all my hard work on the Charmed Wiki. That is more proof users support me. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 14:45, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sorry Mr Grille, but we can't, like I said, Leonardo and Khan blocked me for no reason. I always say we should work things out on talk pages but then everyone accuses me of arguing. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 14:47, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Can we please move this somewhere else. Me and Andrew email eachother about issues on the wiki, I think the only time we talked about you was when we removed your rights, I asked him whether we should, and he agreed along with some other users. I created the policy HalliwellManor so I know what is on it, you a great contribute to the wiki. About the rigging the blog for my rights. I did not! The reason our IP addresses matched was explained by Angela. Blocked you for no reason? There are many reasons, can we please move this discussion someone else because we have nicely been asked to move, yet you are refusing. Creating more drama I see HalliwellManor. And there has been no fights, debates yes, but that is wikis are meant to do. Since you have been unable to edit, the wiki is moving on smoothly. We are moving this discussion. Good day, --

Khan - Talk - Email 15:10, March 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * There are many reason Khan should be removed of his manager status on the wiki. Can you please consider doing so Wendy? The wiki has gone downhill since Khan became manager, many users have left and started their own wikis, such as the Charmed Halliwell wiki at charmedhalliwell.wikia.com; I also was going to start my own wiki as well but I looked at how much time and effort I dedicated into the Charmed Wiki and how many articles I have created; all Khan has done since he has become manager (and you will see this if you look at the history of the wiki) is threaten people with being blocked if they "disobey" him, he notes he is the most "important person on the wiki" and like I said, it has been nothing but turbulence on the wiki since he was given the privilege of being manager. He says everything is to better the wiki, but that's not true at all. Khan has even confessed that during a vote for managership, he had friends create accounts and vote for him. Before Khan was given his manager privileges last September/October, he was an admin on the wiki some time ago, many users have noted he misuses the ability, in fact even during the voting process for manager, many people expressed their concern of the power going to Khan's head. But in short, this is turning into ridiculousness, all this can simply be resolved if I am unblocked, the reason for the block does not hold any value whatsoever, as he says I need a "cool off period" because I argue, every single person on that wiki has argued one time or another, it is ludicrous that he choose to block me, not only did he block me but he removed my admin privileges as well, if anyone should be removed of their privileges it is Khan. His superiority and desire to have everyone adhere to his "rules" is what drove users away. The Charmed Wiki was once a top wiki, until Khan took over. Khan should be admin at most, in my opinion, he has not earned the privilege of being a manager. HalliwellManorAkaDsc385 20:57, March 6, 2011 (UTC)

Answering Spotlight
Hi Merrystar. The Spotlights request page has had no requests replied to since February 27. I was just wondering if you could get someone on to that, so we don't have to wait so long, only to be told the request isn't sufficient and then wait again. So thanks again, Rassilon of Old  (Talk - TTFF - Teru) 19:37, March 21, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks, and no worries. I have checked the criteria for my wiki, and it is fine unless you deem otherwise. And even though I may seem unpatient for asking you to look when I only posted the other day (which I am :D), it just seemed that perhaps it was time to have a look. :) Rassilon of Old  (Talk - TTFF - Teru) 01:33, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Re:support request
While wikia was reviewing the situation among others I took it upon myself to ask the other major admin of the wiki to help me. He subsequently refused. I agree with you, everyone has bad days, but this is not the first time he has done something like this. If you are refusing to demote him, you must, in the least, give him a warning to keep his behavior in check! He cannot be allowed to run amok! And if wikia staff will not deal out justice, then who will? When there is no one left to go to to solve a problem on Wikia, we go to the staff! And I know, I am not the only one who reported this! There are at least two others. Please Merrystar, if the Wikia staff will not help us when help is needed, what good are they? How can you turn a blind eye to this? I just don't understand. When someone swears and personally attacks on a wiki, they are blocked correct? How can the same rule not apply to admins? I can cite other instigations made by him! Please Merrystar! One of Wikia's rules is to be responsible for keeping problem users in check, so why does this not apply to that rule? Because the probability is that I will not go back to wikitroid if I can be blocked on a random admin's power-mad whim. Complete Supremacy 03:33, March 24, 2011 (UTC)

No offense, but Wendy must have alot of work to do and spotlights are slower for a reason I suppose. Remember, we are users who just edit wikis. Helpers and Staff have a big role.

About GTA Wiki
Ok, I would like the rights on GTA Wiki, as the community is pleaced with what I'll do, I have no idea why the admin isn't, he is the only one that isn't and he doesn't edit there so why does he care so much, maybe he just wants to be the boss, but this wiki will be harmed with an attitude like that. Here is a link to the disscusion: http://gta.wikia.com/User_blog:WikisEditor/Inactive_Bureaucrats, so please I kindly request the Bureaucrat rights, thanks.WikisEditor 14:21, April 6, 2011 (UTC)

 * Staff prefer that this sort of stuff be sent through Special:Contact. It's easier for them to deal with that way, and you'll get a much faster response.

 * Could I please have the rights now? I have made alot of pages there, and added alot of photos and the community agreed for me to become a Bureaucrat there. Plus there are alot of vandals and vandalism going on in there, it's like crazy.WikisEditor 00:19, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi there Wendy, thanks for the rights, but I was looking forward to have the Bureaucrat rights not just admin rights, or as they call it their Manager rights or Moderator (or both maybe)I just want the rights that can give others rights all other rights, that's what I requested in the adoption request, and said on the blog post and people agreed, the whole Community wants a bureaucrat, everyone was talking about bureaucrat rights not admin, I apologize for bothering you, but there are things I can't edit, like MediaWiki:Wiki- navigation and other MediaWiki that needs to be organized, and the mediawiki:description to add more keywords, also one of the things I said I'll do is promote new active admins (which it currently hasn't)to help other users and fight vandalism, but right now I can't do all that, so as you can see I wanted to do more then just that, then becoming an admin, right now I can't give all I have to the wiki, which will make this wiki much better then it is now. Thanks.WikisEditor 09:38, April 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also another thing, when I requested on the Adoption request central, I originally requested to adopt the wiki+it's answers site, as they are linked to each other and they are one, However, I would like to have bureaucrat rights there too, so I can enforce the rules there too, it get edit by ips mostly, but you accepted my request I'll incoarge users from GTA Wiki to ask their questions there and get it more crowdy. Also Bola the Bureacucrat of the es.gta.wikia.com told me about uniting all gta wikis together so I may also tell him to ask his community to ask there.thanks.WikisEditor 14:57, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Blue's Clues Encyclopedia Spotlight Spelling Error
Hi, I noticed that on the Spotlights page, when you added the Blue's Clues Encyclopedia to the approved spotlights list, you typed the URL as w:c:blues-cluse when its real URL is w:c:bluesclues. I was afraid that you might of thought that was the wiki's address and will cause the spotlight to lead to w:c:blues-cluse when clicked on - which will then lead users to the Community Central telling them that the wiki address is not valid. I do not know if you typed this on purpose, think that is the correct URL, or are planning to have that URL become the link of the spotlight...and I hope that you will link the spotlight to the right URL when it appears on wiki pages (though it was scheduled to first appear on April 5 and it has not appeared yet). No hurt feelings if you are embarassed! - Squidward 23:13, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

P. S. You also typed the wiki's name as Blues Clues Encyclopedia rather than its actual name, The Blue's Clues Encyclopedia (with a "The" and an apostrophe after the word "Blue"). - Squidward 23:13, April 9, 2011 (UTC)

Save GTA Wiki please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The admin A-Dust sent a take down request for articles to Wikia because I copied articles from www.grandtheftwiki.com to this wiki, but this is not copyrighted to them, they have no right to delete these articles, they are not the owners of any information, its rockstar that owns all the names and information, and the articles they have are created by users just like here. So please consider this first please before deleting any article here, they just doen't want any benefit to Wikia or this wiki, they jut want to destroy it!: here's a link to what he said: http://gta.wikia.com/Talk:Liberty_City/New_York_Landmarks thanks.

www.grandtheftwiki.com is a website they made because of a dispute between them and wikia and took all the articles that this wiki has, there. So there is no reason for them to delete articles, it's not copyrighted to them if it is a violation to any copyright law then they must delete their's.

Thats why I want to become a manager, to stop this vandalism, and save this wiki please.WikisEditor 21:39, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Well, our wiki has been around since 2007 or so. So basically, we have alot of users and edits on there.

The fact we have loads of uncatogorized pages is because of users making Text Base Adventures, and they nearly (actually never) categorize them. It would take ages, not even months, heck, not even a light-year to categorize all of those pages.

Hi, i recently requested that i be able to edit this wikia. You said that "t is ok to temporarily put up a notice about it so that members of the community will know; it just needs to be in addition to the mainpage, not in replacement of it"

The user - Nexiom doesnt have a wikia...he has his own personal website called prophecy nation. His website has nothing to do at all with wikia. He is using the front page of your wikia to simply advertise/plug his own cash generating wikia.

As i cant edit the actualy front page, that means i cant do a proper job on adding information links etc.Please check this wikia: http://prophecyplanet.wikia.com/wiki/ProphecyPlanet_Wiki for an example of what i am talking about.Where it has links for all main content sections...if i cant edit the front page of the wikia then i cant even do that.

This guy has simply locked the front page out of selfish money making reasons.

Charmed Legacy Wiki Not Working
Can you or someone from Wikia Support check what's going on with Charmed Legacy Wiki? When I go to edit a page or create an article the bar with the Bold, Italic, create a gallery, etc doesn't show up and the space with the information to edit or add more info doesn't load. On other wikis I go on it works fine so its nothing wrong with my computer, maybe someone changed settings somewhere on .css or something like that. can you fix the problem? Thanks for your help!

View IP Address
Hellow wendy, My name is David from Hotwheels Wikia. I have a constant battle dealing with children that want to be a part of our site. They steal images from other sites, they use multiple accounts. They insert their thoughts as fact...etc etc. Anyways its like Eparenting, if thats a real word. I Block a user for 3 days and I always feel he comes back with a new user name and the cycle repeats. So I'm here to ask if there is a way to view a users IP address. That way i can see who is controlling each sock puppet, and deal with them appropriately. Thanks in advance.

Spotlight
Hi. I'm putting the same message here on your talk page just in case you forgot about the spotlight I added.

Hi,Wiki! I'm the creator of a Wiki called Gami Wiki and I was wishing for you to add it to the Spotlight list. It has exactly 200 pages with NO STUBS. The Main Page has a lot of links and a picture, all pages in a category, not promoting any new admins, have a pretty great Community message, has a customized skin and colorful images. It was a lot of hard work making more then half of these pages and we need more contributors.

It is about a Pokemon-like world (like Complipedia above) where everyone can share creatures they made. It was made about a month ago.

If you accept, please make this as the picture or. The description could be "Join a Pokémon-like world.

Thanks. I Have Come For Your Head! - SilverWingsxxx 05:52, April 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * I answer requests on the spotlights page (not here) and in the order they are made. It looks like there are still a few wikis on the page above yours.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 23:58, April 22, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Vampire Encyclopedia spotlight
I was visiting another branch of wikia when I noticed a spotlight for the "Vampire Encyclopedia". As I have adminstrator access there, I was understandably rather surprised that it had been reccomended, approved and spotlighted without my knowledge. Although I haven't been active lately, I check it on a regular basis. Could you inform me of how it obtained a spotlight?--Wyvern Rex. 11:14, April 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh, no, I'm quite happy that they liked it. I was just curious about why.--Wyvern Rex. 08:01, April 23, 2011 (UTC)

Sopranos Wiki adoption
I don't understand why i can't adopt it, the wiki needs a bureaucrat and i'm an experienced one. That 60 day rule seems a bit pointless in this case, i was made an admin on the GTA wiki a couple of weeks ago as i have experience and was asked to help sort out the wiki, the wiki is pretty much all sorted out now and at the moment all i do is revert vandalism and sort out mistakes made by other users, i have plenty of time to sort out the Sopranos wiki as well. <font size="+2" face="Bauhaus 93">Tom Talk 12:33, April 28, 2011 (UTC)

Abuse of admin powers on Kingdom Hearts Fan Fiction Wiki
Hello Merrystar,z

A short while ago you gave a user on KHFF named "ThunderBoltZemo92" admin and bureaucrat rights. Shortly after, he removed all my user rights, deleted all my pages as well as my user page. He also cut down on other user's rights for no apparent reason. His removal of my user rights was accompanied by the following message:

''This is my wiki, and I've finally taken it back! Your kind of fanfiction is once again no longer allowed here. Have a nice day!''

This gives me reason to believe that this is a new account of a user formerly known as "WolfRisingSun". About a year ago, I joined KHFF and started creating articles. WRS, having admin and bureaucrat rights, deleted them all and banned me, claiming it was "his" Wiki and my type of fan fiction wasn't worthy. Go here for a more detailed account. Obviously, this was an egregious abuse of power and I decided to stand my ground. My persistance apparently really rattled his cage, causing him to have a mad fit and step down as admin. Later, he vandalized some of my pages. After I threatened to have him banned, he left. Months later I found him smearing my name on Kingdom Hearts Fanon (Ctrl + F for Xerruy to find the comments, WRS's alias here is Zh'xonRomulus). Sometime after that, he vandalized some of my articles again.

Given his history, I feel this user's admin and bureaucrat rights need to be revoked ASAP. While I'm not very active at the moment due to other activities I would like to be able to restore my articles without this guy gunning them down just because he doesn't like them (and it's more of a personal grudge on his part at this point, anyway).

On a side note, is the "e-mail this user" feature still present? I want to contact another admin on KHFF but can't since my account is blocked. I can make a new one, but I'm fairly certain TBZ92 will delete that one as well. With the new Wikia layout, I'm having trouble locating the e-mail feature.

Kind regards,

Xerruy 20:57, April 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Generally speaking, these types of requests should go to Special:Contact, although I believe Wendy prefers this page when it's related to adoptions. As for emailuser, the button was removed due to lack of use by normal users, and the fact that it was a high-priority spam target. The function, however, remains, and can still be accessed at Special:Emailuser.


 * This is not an adoption issue, but an on-wiki fight and in fact should be resolved on-wiki or through Special:Contact. Xerruy and the other existing admins were all inactive at the time of the adoption, per the criteria for adopting. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:42, May 1, 2011 (UTC)

Spotlight slack
Since Sarah Manley told me to ask my question to a staffmember who's more into Spotlights, here I am. I notice that quite a few of the spotlights link to wikis that don't follow all of the "best practices." Although my wiki follows most of the practices, we need another 30-50 pages to become not stubs before we can say we're actually qualified. So, since I want to be able to request a Spotlight in mid-October so we can have one in early November (when the next Shrek movie comes out), I'd just like a rough idea of how much slack you're willing to give a wiki that does request. I'd like to point out that it's going to be extremely advertised when the time comes, and please don't respond "we'll figure that out when we get there" (I want to know if I can stop editing my brains out). —Preceding signed comment added by Airhogs777 (talk • contribs • WP) 00:11, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

Home Page
We at Gami Wiki would like to say thanks to you and the Wiki staff! If you can, please use the first image (art 1) as the spotlight image? Anyways, isn't the home page of a spotlight Wiki supposed to be editable by users? Complipedia appears to have locked the user page. Could you please tell the creator to unlock the main page? Thanks.

Why am I blocked on a Wiki I don't even know existed?
Hi Wendy. This might not be the place where I can report to but while I was in Gami Wiki, I got a message from Psycholog Wiki. Someone wrote "gfhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" on my talk page. I thought it was vandalism so I tried to edit the page to remove it but it says I was blocked. Could you please tell the administrator, Rubberduckys, and ask him/her the reason of the block. I can't edit his/her talk page. This is the log: The block was made by Rubberduckys.
 * Reason given: Intimidating behaviour/harassment
 * Start of block: 04:11, May 15, 2011
 * Expiry of block: 04:11, May 15, 2012
 * Intended blockee: SilverWingsxxx
 * Block ID: #17
 * Current IP address: 180.193.222.250


 * Checking over the situation, that user seems very immature and is blocking anyone who edits on the wiki and probably saw you on another wiki and so decided to block you on the psycholog wiki. Its best to just ignore it. I too am blocked on a wiki I never edited because the admin was immature and did not like a comment I made to them here.--
 * Dox'd. He's been vandalizing across Wikia  Random <font color="Orange">Time  08:51, May 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * I saw the situation and went to Rubberduckys' talk page to leave a message, as well as SilverWings'. Bottom line is, if Rubberduckys continues to behave this immature, his wiki will be reported to be shut down by the team. The folly of rude youth.

 * Thanks, Mr. Grille. You're very courteous. I have filed my report too. Let's just wait until we get a reply. Once someone opened a wiki that wasn't as bad as his, but was still bad. : it got disabled. Let's just hope that run-down heck of a wiki gets closed as well.

A record?
Hey the w:c:shipoffools got spotlighted approximately after 2.5 months of it's creation,were we the youngest wiki to get spotlighted or was there any other wiki that got spotlighted being younger than us?.....also if you dont feel anything,can I ask you "are you a male or a female?" as I've addressed you as a male before but I saw it was different somewhere else(honestly dont remember!). So if we were the first wiki to do so,can we keep that as a record?thanks:)--

 * He meant if a wiki could be in spotlight more than once. Like after a spotlight ends for a wiki, can it be spotlighted once more.
 * I mean dont understand the purpose of it,does that mean that all wikis stop getting spotlighted after a certain period of time?

Beyblade Anime Wiki
I've recently noticed that one of the vandals, spammers, and problem user has created a new Wiki. I'd like to ask it closed and deleted. My reasons are that their Main Page intro is very similar if not exact. I'd also like to point out that they have the same featured Beyblade with the exact same description. I'm starting to wonder if they will copy our pages, which I did not give them permission to do so. The user also copied pictures from our Wiki and used them as User Boxes on his Userpage, I told him to remove them and he did so. I'm a bureaucrat at Beyblade Wiki and I don't want another Wiki, that highly dislikes us due to their block because of vandalism and spam. I ask for this Wiki to be closed. Thanks, DarkusMaster84. I Walk a  Lonely   Road.  14:11, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wikis are only closed very rarely. It's ok for them to have a competing wiki, and it's ok for them to take your content, provided it's properly licensed. Proper licensing can be as simple as putting "Originally from this page on Beyblade Wiki" in the edit summary. If, however, he refuses to license the content, upon further review of the situation the wiki may be a candidate for closure.


 * Requests or complaints like this should go to Special:Contact but Monchoman is correct; competing/same topic wikis are ok as long as copied content is attributed properly and there is intent to build on it/change it. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:24, June 5, 2011 (UTC)
