Account creation trouble
Hey BlueDevil. Since you are a Wikia Helper, I just HAD to ask you why I can't register. A user advised me to talk to a Helper if I had any trouble. If you can, please let me know what the problem is.

More info
I'm sorry. What happens is the Wikia says it's unable to register me at this time. That's it. --76.4.211.235 03:38, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Do what I did, go to Wikianswers, it signs you up and for some reason it doesn't stop you, I had the same problem when I was trying to create this account (Webkinz112)-- Webkinz112 My talk page (haha, no link for you) 03:59, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

YES!!! I DID IT!!! Thanks so much! --SuperSonicRider 12:24, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Double redirects
Hello, is there a difference between #Redirect and #REDIRECT? It appears that you are fixing the double redirects that I had already fixed on and. SUL 16:24, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Something wasn't working and I was testing if it got fixed or not. That's why I jumped in the middle of your work :-) -- BlueDevil Talk 16:43, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Most likely the cache didn't update on the special page (takes a while) so even though you fixed it, the special page didn't recognize you did :) ~Joey~  ^Talk^  17:09, 29 June 2009 (UTC)

Friendly community?
When I attempted to make a change on the present IP address (to note that there are problems associated with it on Wikipedia) I had the following message appear:

Warning: The liberal Jew-run media has infiltrated Wikiality, and forced us to allow anonymous editing. The Surgeon General has ordered us to warn you that editing anonymously can cause birth defects, cancer, increased risk of stroke, and revealing your IP address. Please log in if you wish to hide your IP address.

This is #totally inappropriate# - and more befits Conservapedia than Wikia.

As the WP block on the IP address seems to be justified in this context, could a suitable comment be made on the article page.
 * He's talking about w:c:wikiality:MediaWiki:Anoneditwarning. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 17:43, 6 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks Michaeldsuarez! I replied on Community Portal.-- BlueDevil Talk 18:11, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Is i possible you can tidy up the recent talk in the 007 wiki for good house keeping? It still shows some activity that you just helped remove - thanks Piandao   and  Scooby!

Hello
Sorry for the inconvenience. Is this fixed now? --

Becoming Administrator on a wiki that isn't being used
How am I able to become an Administrator of a wiki that isn't being used by the founder whos last login was over 2 years ago?

The wiki in question is the multimedia wiki. There are only 2 members (both Administrators) of this wiki, and neither has logged in for a very long time.

1.	Edgeworld (Talk) · (Contribs) · (Edit stats)	bureaucrat, sysop	0	19:11, 6 April 2007	- 2.	Sigfig (Talk) · (Contribs) · (Edit stats)	bureaucrat, sysop	0	21:58, 30 November 2007

I'm wanting to help develop this wiki as a reference source for various types of multimedia, such as tv shows, movies and games. To do so as an Administrator would allow me to begin developing the wiki without being encumberred by any access restrictions (e.g. changing the category to "entertainment").

Megami Tensei Wiki Conflicts
Currently, I am the founder of Megami Tensei Wiki. In the beginning, I contributed, but for well over a year now, I have been inactive on the site, save for talk pages and uploading a random image or two. The problem lies in the fact that there are too many conflicts (not directly involving me) going on with contributors that I had given admin rights to. I felt then that they were atypical of what usually happens when one person want something one way, and another wants it another way. They are intelligent, well-spoken people and hard-working, which makes this a real shame. There was no resolution, and now these people appear to be leaving the wiki out of frustration---perhaps for good. Consider the source, but the person on their way out deemed the wiki "to be in future jeopardy". I would like to request a renouncement or something similar of my bureacratic rights. I am no born leader, and I didn't realize that this was the role I would have to play. I see all sides to an argument, but these issues cause undue stress for me, and interferes with my work on other wikis. I would gladly give permission to someone else that asks if they want the "weighty" responsibility, if that is what's necessary. Perhaps, I've posted this on the wrong page, but can you help? icysugarspike 21:46, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Yes, please honor my request and remove the flags. As for the discussion as to who will sit "on the throne" (ouch), I'm getting out of the bathroom altogether and letting them fight for the last piece of toilet paper. Thanks for your help. icysugarspike 00:19, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Hello, BlueDevil. I'm Bluer, one of the admin who have worked very close with icy and has been with him since the inception of the Megami Tensei Wiki as can be attested through my contributions and both our talk pages. I am saddened that icy has chosen to give up his rights, but I am willing to take over cleaning the "bathroom" and perhaps bringing a new set of toilet papers. Of course, if this is not the page to do so, I'm really sorry.  BLUER   一番   04:26, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
 * I have done so by opening a forum thread here.  BLUER   一番   13:47, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Sorry for the intrusion, BlueDevil, but unfortunately our community participation is a bit lacking, despite advertising it thoroughly throughout the wiki. And the only other participant is mostly out there spreading bad faith - I do not really understand his problem, but unfortunately the so-called conflict begun ever since he was given administrative rights, as Icy above can confirm. I have been editing actively ever since my first edit in the wiki, and I also actively welcome every new user who contributes. I ensure previous bcrat Icy's trust on me is well-placed ever since I am entrusted sysop rights, and I sincerely intend to create a welcoming and friendly staff on the wiki, one without a user who spread bad faith.

AWB
Hey BlueDevil :-). Since you seem to be one of the primary updaters of the AWB checkpage, I wondered if there was anything else I had do other than my request here? Thanks :).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 09:59, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. Thanks for reminding me!--<font color="#4169E1"> BlueDevil <font color="#FF0000">Talk 15:27, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey again BlueDevil. I wondered if you could set the bot flag on my bot on the Firefly wiki which I recently adopted, User:Dr. Ball, M.D.? Thanks :-).  Grunny  ( Talk ) 10:14, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
