On the Special Pages → Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? http://despicableme.wikia.com/wiki/User:Greg_Heffley  17:15, March 29, 2010

Any other information:  There is only one Admin on the Wiki (Greg) who was the founder, he hasn't edited for more then 3 years. Greg also made only 10 edits. I was hoping to become an Admin since I'm a Admin on Planes Wiki (another movie themed wiki) and is used to Admin rights and reverting edits, I will and am very active on Despicable Me Wiki. Many users are requesting for me to help them by letting me become an new Admin, as the Wiki has been sadly going through vandalism and since there is no Admin, no one can stop an over flowing amount of them. The active users are just regular users as no one is an Admin nor B-Cat because Greg never made anyone, http://despicableme.wikia.com/wiki/Special:ListUsers/sysop. So inconclusion, I would like to become an Buearucat so I can help stop the vandal and allow other users to edit without havening to worry.
 * c:despicableme:Special:RecentChanges shows that a number of users have been active on the wiki recently. You should create a public blog post or forum thread on that wiki announcing your ideas for changes in the wiki's leadership and see if the community supports.

 * I have made a report blog so people of the wiki will know and hopefuly agree to this. http://despicableme.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Mattfan120/The_Leadership_Of_This_Wiki: Mattfan120, July, 15th, 2013
 * UPDATE July 16, 2013: I have gotten three votes so far from some of the top editing users about the blog.  They agree with me and a user on there, RRabbit, made a good point that there is a mix of good edits and vandle that go on at the same time.  So, as of this moment, 3 people agree to the blog.  That's all, Mattfan120.
 * UPDATE July 23, 2013: While still waiting for staff to respond, it seems that just about every user wants the wiki to be adopted.  I've also been noting more vandal in the catagories.  But that's it. Thanks, Mattfan120.


 * I have to say that I strongly agree with you. Without any admin the wiki is really messed up. We need an active admin on the wiki to prevent further vandalism. I have seen some users that post incorrect information and we have to do the vandalism fixing. In fact, it is a great idea to make Mattfan120 an admin, as you can see he is very active on the wiki.

 * Despicable Wiki was ready to be brought back to life since the second movie just came out. I am glad to see Mattfan120 came forward and wants to help build the wiki. Too many wikis are created and then are pretty much abandoned. In this case, that happened on the same day it was founded, leaving the occasional visitor to try and pick up the slack. —RRabbit42 ( leave a message ) 14:17, July 20, 2013 (UTC)


 * The only admin (the founder) on the Despicable Me Wiki  seems to have just made 10 edits and abandon the wiki. I feel it would be reasonable have Mattfan120 take over, since he is quite active on Despicable Me Wiki and knows a lot about the franchise. I'm sure he will do a great job at contributing and keeping things under control. Sparkarez (talk) 05:16, July 27, 2013 (UTC)Sparkarez


 * Since Despicable Me Wiki has no active admin, I strongly agree that Mattfan120 should help build the wiki more as an admin. --User:DamiedeterJR 05:22, July 27, 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for starting the blog (and getting everybody to comment here also). I've given you admin and bureaucrat rights. Good luck with the wiki! -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:39, July 30, 2013 (UTC)
