ReBoot Wiki
Thank you so much. I'm very excited to see the ReBoot wiki as a wikia spotlight. thank you for saying that it can be a spotlight. Do you need a larger picture of our logo? I would like the site to be ReBoot Wiki, but there is a site on the internet that is set as rebootwiki. The site is now inactive, no one has been able to edit on it for months. Do you know how to change it like you wanted? Thanks again. --Preator 19:51, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Wikia Spotlight
Please help the ReBoot Wiki with being a Wikia Spotlight. If this wiki was a Wikia Spotlight we might be able to get more members if we had some advertisement. There seem to be so many other wikis that are spotlights that are about things I've never even heard of. Why is the ReBoot wiki excluded? --Preator 00:06, 28 February 2008 (UTC)

Sunderland wiki
Hi, are you finished with the spotlighting of the Sunderland wiki, and is there something wrong with your skype, because you dont seem to be online for me.  Sunder land 06   17:55, 26 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the Sunderland spotlights are up! The Monaco spotlights haven't been updated yet, but you'll see the Sunderland spotlight in Monobook and Quartz. If you haven't seen them yet, keep clicking around. -- Danny (talk ) 18:01, 26 February 2008 (UTC)

The Simpsons Wiki
I usually wouldn't outright ask to be an administrator, but I want to help out where I can and the main way I can do this is by having deletion and blocking powers. I also would like to try to advertise the site on other Simpsons fan sites because I don't think a lot of Simpsons fans know about it, and getting new dedicated members would be a HUGE help. -- Brian McClure 19:49, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Ha, I just left you a message on the Simpsons wiki. :) I totally understand why you want to be an admin; the site definitely needs some love. We should check in with some of the folks there, so that everybody feels involved, but there shouldn't be any problem with you becoming an admin. -- Danny (talk ) 19:53, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * The thing about that is that there are only two active users, and most of the admins and beareucrats haven't been online in months. The active users are Dr. Ralph Wiggum and Sgtcook who have been active there for several months, but neither have much general wiki experience. -- Brian McClure 21:25, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
 * As well, a lot of users I've talked to say they don't like the site's default skin setting, would it be possible to switch it to the one the English wiki uses? -- Brian McClure 21:47, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, I'll do my best. According to the log, you also gave me beareucrat powers, does that mean I can also grant sysop powers? If so, how? -- Brian McClure 00:23, 25 February 2008 (UTC)

Moment
Can I speak with you privately on IRC or Skype? -- 03:40, 21 February 2008 (UTC)

Deleted Wikis
It's the Annex and Uncyclopedia. They keep redirecting back to that page. -- User:134.139.148.100 20 February 2008


 * It looks like there was a bug affecting the Annex -- thanks for letting me know, it's fixed now! I don't see any problem with Uncyclopedia... the link you posted works for me. Is there a link that you're clicking on that leads to the wrong place? -- Danny (talk ) 19:52, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Sunderland wiki
Thats great about the spotlighting, can i just ask if you are having problems with skype, because i dont think you are receiveing my messages.  Sunder land 06   00:12, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, Skype isn't a good way to get in touch with me. It's better if you use talk pages. -- Danny (talk ) 01:54, 20 February 2008 (UTC)


 * No, don't mean that i mean does your skype actually work. Sunder  land 06   18:29, 20 February 2008 (UTC)

Issues with ads
Hi Danny, just done a summary on the forum page Philralph 08:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Images
Hey Danny. Those two images were marked with for greater than a week, so I just went ahead and deleted them as per the rules. Sorry for the misunderstanding :) Greyman ( Paratus ) 03:44, 18 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, no problem! I'll give Tomsen a heads-up too... He's the one who tagged them. -- Danny (talk ) 03:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

Spotlight ads
Hi Danny. I am working on the Psychology Wiki and trying to develop it as an academic wiki. The spotlight ads are really not helping the credibility of the site and I was wondering if there is a way of hiding them in monobook? Ideally too I would like to use monobook so that all new comers to the site see it in that form first. I dont mind if they want to apply a skin after that. Can we make any progress on these issues? Dr Joe Kiff 10:01, 17 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Joe! We're working right now on a couple things that I think will help with both of those issues.


 * We're working on a new skin right now to replace Quartz that I think people will like a lot. The new skin is basically Monobook-plus -- it has the same functionality as Monobook, with the navigation on the left -- with a friendlier design that makes life a little easier for new users. I'm a huge Monobook fan, and I'm really excited about the new skin. It's being tested and tweaked right now... I don't know exactly when it'll launch, but it'll be pretty soon.


 * I understand what you mean about the spotlights -- it's hard to convince people that your site is responsible and serious when you've got monsters and cartoon trains on the side of the page. We're working right now on splitting things up so we can target spotlights more accurately. I can't tell you a target date for that, because we're at the early stages with it, but it's definitely on the list of things we want to change.


 * So I'm sorry I can't be more specific right now -- I wish I could tell you, yeah, it's fixed today. I'll stop by on Psychology, and check in. Talk to you later! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:44, 17 February 2008 (UTC)

Ads
I don't know if that's acceptable or not, but I told you so you can decide:. The JS code that generated it was. --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 14:53, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for letting me know about that one... You're right; that's bad. I'll report it. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:15, 16 February 2008 (UTC)


 * . It appears on an iframe on es.pokemon wikia, --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 21:04, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you! I'll report that one. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:07, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * More (no reply needed :P) --Ciencia Al Poder (talk) -WikiDex 21:11, 24 February 2008 (UTC)


 * But I like replying. :) -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:16, 24 February 2008 (UTC)

Hello Danny;

I just received your message regarding anonymous edits on Wikiality.com. Yes, I wouldn't mind talking to you about it, I just don't know how much information I can give you, but let's give it a try!--WatchTVEatDonutDrinkBeer 03:23, 5 February 2008 (UTC)

New hub idea
Hi, I was recently discussing with Angela if there could be a music hub here on central wikia, and she directed me to yourself.

Btw, I'm an admin at Music which has around 6'000 articles, but is community-less. I was thinking the creation of a music hub could be a good idea because most of the music wikis do not really attract much attention. Also, while entertainment is a suitable hub for music wikis, the majority of entertainment wikis are based on film or tv.

So, would a music hub be possible?

Spotlight
Please, be hable make a "wikia spotlight" (of that's what appear on her right) with Disney Wiki in Spanish. --Amy 00:22, 26 January 2008 (UTC)


 * I only work on the English-language spotlights... I'll post your message for Juan David, who takes care of the Spanish-language stuff. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:45, 26 January 2008 (UTC)
