-Hey, just to help out, the admin on this wiki is Sannasanna, who made only one edit and have been inactive since 2012. I also want to note that information was not as easy to find as it is on other wikis i have been on. If this adoption goes through, feel free to ask me for assistance in setting things up to improve the layout of that kind of info if you need it. Good luck.-Cheatcodechamp (talk) 01:12, March 6, 2014 (UTC)


 * Hi. There are quite a few other active contributors on that wikia. Please start a blog or forum where everybody can discuss your adoption request and/or jointly choose new admins for the wikia.  Give us a link to the conversation and we will check back again.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 00:49, March 15, 2014 (UTC)

Any other information:

I have already discussed this with the community here: http://duolingo.wikia.com/wiki/Thread:2478

User BenTheGeek previously submitted a bid to adopt the wiki. However, their request was not supported by the community at this time. Please see that conversation here: http://duolingo.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:BenTheGeek/Admin%3F

In addition to being an original creator of many of the guides on this wiki (See here: The Duolingo Guides) (recognition and many thanks to the various editors who have helped to improve those guides!) I regularly promote the wiki. Here is one instance https://www.duolingo.com/comment/1968828 where it received 300 upvotes and several new editors. On top of that, I give each person who follows my profile a link to the Duolingo Wiki. (So far I have 461 followers on Duolingo which you can verify here: www.duolingo.com/Usagiboy7. As a Duolingo forum moderator, I gain between 2 and 7 new followers a day).

Thank you very much for taking the time to consider my application. :)

 * Hello. Thank you for the additional links to the community discussions. I have given you admin and bureaucrat rights.  I've given Stec and Dessamator admin rights.  Good luck with the wikia! -- Wendy  (talk ) 04:46, April 12, 2014 (UTC)
