Admin request
Hi Angela, Do you think you could make me an administrator at www.pirates.wikia.com, we only have one administrator there and the site has been going for a long time now and is quite large. The Administrator has received numerous requests to set up a proper election system so that long standing and trusted members of the community may be voted in, but its been nearly a year and nothings been done, we suffered some vandalism a few days ago and as Kwenn was away we were powerless to stop the guy. Furthermore I am the second longest standing member of the community and as far as contributions go I am second only to Kwenn, I have been a member of the Wiki for a very long time now and have contributed much not only to Pirares but to other wikis as well. Your support in this matter would mean a great much to me and would ensure the smooth running of our wiki, thank you and sorry for taking up so much of your time.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 13:29, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Well as ive said ive brought the subject up with Kwenn before and he said there will only be more administrators when the community accepts the requests for adminship page that he set up, but that was nearly a year ago. As for the community being big enough, I dont think it is, the website is definately big which is why we need more admin, but there are only four requlor editors myself Kwenn Cutler Beckett and Wanderingshadow the rest are anons who cant vote. The Wiki has been expanding rapidly the past few months and as the content grows so does the vandalism hence the need for more admin and I dont think Kwenn has any interest in sorting the problem.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 15:01, 25 August 2007 (UTC)

Is nominating yourself allowed?, because it says on our RFA page that its not.--\\Captain KickAssJedi// 11:11, 28 August 2007 (UTC)
 * On wikia' voting, self-nomination is considered not allowed. Possibly because others would call you selfish, maybe you win cos there were no other nominations. No matter the reason, it's best to stand out and be nominated my another user. Though if nominated by someone else, you CAN vote for your self. [F]


 * Voting yourself seems rather pointless. I don't think any bureaucrats should take such votes into account. If the user being nominated doesn't want the position, they can simply remove the nomination. Angela (talk) 14:56, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

wait, give me a final chance, i may be able to strike a bargin with wikipedia, if i cannot, dealeat vegetarian dream, and put my talents as a sysop to use somewhere else. Jimbo the cheese 23:35, 27 August 2007 (UTC)

I had a brainwave, vegetarian dream is dead, burning but it will be converted, i ask for its name and content to be changed, into a meat lovers wikia, saving the basic structure of the wikia Jimbo the cheese 04:47, 28 August 2007 (UTC)


 * The wiki is not going to be deleted. Please see my reply on that wiki. Angela (talk) 09:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

I had one other souluttion to save the wiki, it takes time and i nead your help though, but it WILL work, it involves nither dealeating it, nor converting it, if you want to know my idea then tell me on the wiki(www.vegeterian.wikia.com) `Jimbo the cheese 23:29, 29 August 2007 (UTC)

About a certain Forerunning fellow...
As you know, User:Forerunner was blocked from Halopedia for "a period of infinite," according to the block log. As you might not know, Forerunner has a sockpuppet account, User:Chief2552. We have told him that it is wrong to have a sockpuppet account because it allows him to vote doubly on things, and just recently he actually used his sockpuppet to circumvent his ban, as you can see here. I removed this vote, and now Forerunner has commented on my talk page here at Wikia, saying that I was "mean." While I am perfectly capable of dealing with any further sockpuppets, I would just like you to know about this, because ban circumvention is a very serious offense, and because, back when I banned him the first time, I knew him rather well, I think, and I knew that he could and would do things like this, which I feel further (hmm... not sure if you would agree with "further," 'cause I dunno if you think that ban is justified at all... meh) justifies my decision to block him. Thank you for your time. Oh, and while I'm here... /me hugs Angela. =P -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 21:51, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
 * i keep telling you i made Chief2552 cos my coputer woulodn't let me re-change skins after i clicked save on one of them instead of preview. I couldn't change it as an error stopped me from being able to re-change skins (as in some links were more like Words edited to be blue and underlined instead of linking if you know what i mean). It was ok when i logged out. so i had to use Chief2552. In actual fact Forerunner is sock and Chief is the real being. Because on OLD Halopedia i operated under Chief but in wikia i became Forerunner. I infact by coincidence i created a Chief2552 on another wikia. This was at the begning when i didn't know of da wikias having shared accounts cos i never had the save password on computer used. Also i'd like to say that before me + GPT "fell out" we hardly eva talked 2 each other! we always voted for da opposite and other things. so i don't know why he'd decide to wright it as a similarity to... "I thaught i knew hm well, but i knew he'd try and get his own way...". Mental. he said the same about a guy... Captain-poison... vandelises once and GPT bans him 4eva saying he "knew" C-P would vandelise yet again and wouldn't stop.
 * P.S. Phil.e told me that apparently quite alot of Admins are paranoid... he also says that R2 (hey he should have used that) puts his name everywere anyway... just saying... [F]
 * PPS. where i live the word Mental also means the hand gesture where both arms are out and shaking and one of your eyebrows is stood up (also meaning "WTF are you talking about" but thats a bit further away from the Mental double meaning (Like londoners moving to Yorkshire, don't get the alternative meanings of some words) [F]

Hello!
I've asked for a wiki,and one of the staff asked I change the name and he'd create it. I changed it,and told him,but he's gone now. Do you think you could make it? Here's proof.- L D 7 6 0 { Give a yell } 01:15, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Oops...
I tried to add the sea creatures wiki logo to the logocollection.png, but it didn't work and I can't see the image now. Can you help me and revert the edits (and hopefully add the logo) please? Hedgehoghead 11:41, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

Blade Runner Wikia logo
A new logo for the Blade Runner Wikia was uploaded recently and works great - except when the "new skin" is in use, then the old, "placeholder" logo appears. Is there another step that I can take to make it show up when the new skin is used? Thanks! - Nhprman 23:58, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Name change
Hi Angela. I started a couple of wikis under the name manutius. I have reconsidered and for various reasons would like my name to be changed to HilaryReynolds as this does make it easier to prove that it is really me who is involved in the wikis. This will help particularly for peer recognition. If it is pertinent the wikis I have started are infolit and SocialResearch. Would this be possible. Thanks. manutius 07:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
 * You can't realy change your username. You can redirect ( #REDIRECT ) HilaryReynolds to manutius. Alternatives are... log in infront of your friends (change password later if you wish) to show it must be you... edit your Manutius userpage and write your name. (you can remove the edit later after your friends know it's you) User:Forerunner:[F]
 * Forerunner, I am not so sure about this. The following is from http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Help:Create_an_account#Account_deletion

''"It is not possible for accounts on Wikia to be deleted. However, if you decide after creating an account, particularly if you did so using your real name, that you would rather be anonymous, you may be able to have your account renamed. Please contact Angela if you require this. Renaming is not guaranteed, and may take some time to be performed. If your request is accepted, your edits will be reassigned to your new name. It is not possible for your edits to be removed entirely. You can request your user page be deleted, or you can simply redirect it to your new username.

If you have signed any talk pages, you will need to change your name on these manually. The easiest way to find these is by clicking "what links here" from your user page. There is currently no means of removing signatures from old revisions in the page history."''manutius 06:50, 3 September 2007 (UTC)


 * That page is out of date. We don't have any way of renaming users on Wikia. Angela (talk) 10:19, 3 September 2007 (UTC)

Adminship rights on Monopoly Wiki
Hello Angela, It seems you get a lot of comments so sorry to bother you. I wanted to adopt the Monopoly Wiki so I've just been making edits to it. I looked at some of the ideas for attracting users here and one said to make sure it was welcoming and not boring when you came to the wiki. I tried to change the Monobook style on it but I believe it was limited to Admin accounts. It said on Adopt this wiki to ask someone from the Community team about adminship rights and you seemed like a pretty trusted member. Please reply on my Wikia talk page. Thanks, Chicken7 12:50, 2 September 2007 (UTC) By the way, my overall question was if I could become a sysop on the Monopoly Wiki (if you didnt understand) please. Thanks.
