'''How many edits have you made on that wiki? '''3,753

'Have you edited there each'' day for the past seven days? '''Yes, I have been editing there each day for the past seven days.
 * If not, please do not submit this request.

'''How many days/months have you been editing there? '''5 years, 8 months, and 29 days

'''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. '''Other than myself, the most recent admin edit was made by the user Lythronax, Lythronax's most recent edit on the main-space of the wiki was on November 5th, 2018 and, although the user has popped in to help out on rare occasions, most recently on July 23rd, 2020, they have not had a major active presence on the wiki over the last two years. All other admins on the wiki have not edited since either 2017 or 2018.

Any other information: Outside of myself, there are currently no other admins with an active presence on this wiki. A few new mods were recently appointed to help me manage this wiki, but it's still very difficult to deal with the vast amount of work on the wiki alone. By adopting this wiki, I plan to, after rigorous decision-making, promote a few new admins to help me manage this wiki effectively and to ensure that all information on the wiki is up-to-date and accurate.
 * As explained in a recent previous request, this wiki does have activity by other admins. That alone makes it ineligible for adoption.


 * But, examining the wiki, it's pretty clear that there are several other active users over there, so the wiki is not adoptable because of this, according to our guidelines. I count over 50 editors just since the end of July! Sure, not all of these are unblocked editors, but the overwhelming percentage appear to be good faith kinds of cats!


 * So you'll need community consent, which happens by creating a conversation somewhere on the wiki and inviting everyone who's edited in the last 6-8 weeks to participate in it. To be fair to these editors, you'll need to actually go around to their message walls or talk pages, give them a link to the discussion and personally invite them to attend the conversations.


 * In this discussion, you should think of yourself as applying for a job, where you say, "I'd really like to become the admin of the wiki, and here's why." Then you say what, specifically, you want to do and invite people to comment. The notion is that you're building a conversation. That's why it's important to personally invite recent editors. You should also make an especial effort to reach out to Lythronax, your fellow admin.


 * After over a week has passed — and provided no one has objected — you can come back here and start a brand new request, called Dinopedia (6), linking to this discussion. Then we can properly evaluate the situation and go from there. Oh, and make sure that you keep editing throughout, so that you don't otherwise lose your eligibility!


 * Best of luck!
