Community Central:Adoption requests

Perfect Dark Wiki (Accepted)
Hi, I'd like to adopt the Perfect Dark wiki.

The Perfect Dark series consists of three games, two novels, and comics. This wiki has been around since Oct. 2007, and has very little to show for it. There are just over 70 articles, and exactly 30 pictures. It suffices to say it does not represent the series well at all.

The Articles
 * Most of the articles are unneeded. The vast majority of these are in-game pickups that could fit all within one article. While this could be considered opinion I believe this would be more effective. I'd like to confer with the community on this but unfortunately there is no community. There is only one other active user besides myself and Eagle.

Community
 * The admin, who created the wiki, has not been active since a few days after the day he created the wiki (Oct 7,2007). The only article he's edited is the main page.


 * There are 7 total editors, including myself and Eagle (brother). Two of these users have only edited their user pages and have not been active since. This leaves us with the inactive admin, and two other users. One has deleted his user page after a long period of inactivity, the other edits every now and then.

In the short time my friend and I have been editing this wiki, we've created the longest articles on the site by far. The lack of interest in the site is likely due to the lack of admin participation, for not keeping the site in shape. Hopefully I could help bounce the wikia back into shape, and create a community for it.

--Aces oo7 18:17, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It looks as though you missed AbigailAbernathy in your user count... are she and Eagle OK with you being admin? Perhaps I could make all of you admins? -- sannse (talk) 16:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm fine with Ace being admin, and wouldn't mind so myself. This wiki needs one or a few. --Eagle oo8i 19:40, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I've left a message for AbigailAbernathy, so I'll let you know as soon/what she responds. --Aces oo7 00:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, she responded and we both would like to be admins. Eagle would like to be one as well but he'll be inactive for some time. --Aces oo7 22:10, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, I have promoted you and Abigail; you can promote Eagle yourselves (using Special:UserRights) when he becomes more active on the wiki. Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Total Drama Island Wiki (On hold)
Hi, I'm Jubilee18. I'd like to become an administer for this Wiki because the current administers do not seem to care about any of the vandalism or unnecessary pages currently found on it. I would also like to provide a better, customized backround for it as this Wiki is silver. Many other TDI users agree that our Wiki can be cleaned up.However, I am from the United States, and Total Drama Action is airing in Canada. Sorry if I don't meet the standards. If this is the case, who are the admins for the Total Drama Island Wiki? Thanks for your time! Jubilee18 01:53, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I believe I have what it takes to adopt the Total Drama Island wiki. I already run the Total Drama Island Camp wiki, and I became an admin on the Total Drama Island Fan-Fiction wiki. There are (the last time I checked) about two-hundred candidates for deletion on the Total Drama Island wiki. I am a big fan of Total Drama Island and know a lot about the show. I think that I am very qualified to run this wiki, and I hope you choose me. Thanks for reading. -- Mi llamo Nalyd Renrut. TalkContributions 11:26, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * User talk:Vampyrum Spectrum08 is the current admin; he last edited a few weeks ago. I'd suggest leaving a talk page message for him asking him to promote another admin or two; if he doesn't respond, please start a discussion on the wiki about who should get the tools and we'll be happy to give the tools to the person(s) the whole community chooses.  — Catherine (talk) 17:34, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Here's a link of the forum talk: http://totaldramaisland.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Desperately_in_need_of_Admins . Webkinz Mania 23:46, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the link -- we'll let you discuss it for a few more days and then promote the appropriate users.

I'd like to adopt Total Drama Island Wiki. it has a healthy userbase, but there is one administrator who is never on. The wiki is plagued with spam and vandalization. Please let me adopt this wiki so that a team of new admins and I can get in in good shape.-- Call me Zakkoroen. Talk to me.What I've done.. 23:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Look up a couple sections, somebody is also trying to adopt the Total Drama Island Wiki. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 00:45, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * But you have been made an admin in the last 60 days so you can't.

Lion King (Accepted)
The Lion King wiki is up for adoption on the adoption list and I would like to adopt it. I will Update it and keep it updated. Please contact me at QBosse@aol.com. Thank you!--Tree Climber  Wich way to Holt Rudderwake? 16:25, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Tree Climber -- I don't see any edits from you yet on the wiki. We'd be very to happy to have you adopt it though!  Please get started on editing and we'll follow up with you.  — Catherine (talk) 17:34, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

I have been updateing, and will continue!--Tree Climber  Wich way to Holt Rudderwake? 22:10, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Excellent work -- thanks for keeping at it! I have given you the admin tools; please use them well.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Futebol (Declined)
Hi, I would like to adopt this wiki since I grew up in Brazil and know the soccer scene very well.

Please contact me if you have any further question.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards Ricky5


 * I don't see any edits from you there yet, Ricky -- please create a few new pages and we'll be happy to give you admin rights! — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry to decline this; please feel free to apply again once you have more time to work on editing the wiki. — Catherine (talk) 06:11, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Immortal (not an adoption request)
A site especially created for Immortal fans.You will find all kind of cool stuff in this site.
 * Please see the Music hub for wikis that already exist, or visit the Requests wiki in order to request new wikis. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 03:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

The Suite Life Wikia (Accepted)
When I see The Suite Life Wikia in December, was poor, with little articles, without biographies, actors, episodes, revelant images, etc. I do many articles (incluyed many characters, the cast, and ALL the episodes). Also, the administrator Kenny McCormik is inactive for 2 months, and also, many users (IP Adresses) do vandalism and create "stupid" pages (NOT, Good.), and I want to eliminate it, but i don't let it. Well, also, please, I want to be an administrator. --PanadolForte 03:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. You've been doing a great job.  I've given you the admin tools.  Keep up the good work and don't forget to welcome new contributors!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 00:36, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

My brilliant new plan! (Not an Adoption Request)
Sorry, that title makes me sound like an evil genius doesn't it. Anyway, it is my intent to create a new wiki on the television miniseries, Tin Man, a futuristic, steampunk adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, starring Zooey Deschanel and Kathleen Robertson. The miniseries was successful and nominated for nine Emmy awards and has a dedicated fan following so it is my belief that it warrants a wiki. We have wikis for pretty much everything else in entertainment after all. Furthermore, for proof of Tin Man's notability, one need only peruse the numerous articles on it on Wikipedia and of course the hundreds of videos on YouTube. Anyway, since when does a topic need to be notable to warrant a wiki on Wikia? Now there's a tongue-twister!

Anyway, yes. My intent is for myself to have sole, autocratic power over the wiki in the manner that Jimbo Wales holds over Wikipedia. I shall of course appoint administrators to enforce rules on my behalf. There won't be many rules of course as I think various other Wikia sites have a problem with too many rules. The purpose of my Tin Man wiki will be for people to meet up and talk about the series, create articles on subjects relating to it and to basically chill out and have a good time. There will of course be rules about civility and the obvious stuff like cyberbullying which will receive one warning, followed by an indef block. The same goes for vandalism.

Please seriously consider my request as I am of the opinion that such a wiki would be highly successful and I would maintain it dilligently.

Regards

User:Lucifuge Rofacale


 * Hi. This page is to adopt existing wikis. To request a new wiki, please visits Requests.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 00:37, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I've requested it but so far my request has been ignored. --Lucifuge Rofacale 18:57, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Playstation Home (Declined)
I'd like to adopt Playstation Home because it means so much to me to adopt a wikia; Plus I never adopted a wiki in my whole wiki expreince (3 yrs starting with wikihow.

Also I'd like to adopt a wiki because as a 10 year old boy theres alot of goals to achieve and this is 1st on my list wanting to go to harvard for colloge for free when I hopefully I get my full tutuion if i spelled it right.

Anyways it would still be fair to others who want to adopt this website, so I shouldn't worry theres other WEBS in the NET.


 * I don't see that you've made any edits on that wiki yet; we would like you to begin editing a wiki before you apply for adminship. — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I am closing this request as there have been no further edits since the pages were unprotected. — Catherine (talk) 06:11, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Good Eats Wiki (Accepted)
I'd like to adopt the Good Eats Wiki. Nothing is happening here and all of the edits are by me. Metnever 22:35, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. You're doing a great job on the Good Eats Wiki, and we've given you the admin tools.  Have fun!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your interest and your hard work, Mcjanne -- I have given you admin rights and I look forward to seeing this wiki grow! — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Fading Suns (Accepted)
Hi,

I would like to adopt and revive the Fading Suns wiki. I am an active GM running the game and also a member of the fading-suns dot com forum community. I love the game and would like to see an active wiki for it.

Thanks, Matt c.


 * Thanks for your interest, Matt -- I have given you admin rights and I look forward to seeing this wiki grow! — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Ben 10 (Accepted)
I would like to adopt Ben 10 Wiki. The owner is NEVER on, nor are any of the admins. Please let me adopt it, I am very active and would help very much.-- Call me Zakkoroen. Talk to me.What I've done.. 01:05, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

But Zakkoreon has been made an admin on the total drama island fanfiction wiki in the last 60 days. ...So? i want to adopt this wiki.-- Call me Zakkoroen. Talk to me.What I've done.. 17:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

If you had read the rules you can't have been made an admin in the last 60 days.


 * Ben 10 is a very active wiki in any case, and so is not eligible for one person to adopt over everyone else. However, since it doesn't have any active admins, I suggest that you open a discussion at http://ben10.wikia.com/wiki/Ben_10:Requests_for_adminship and talk with each other about who would make the best admin(s).  We will check back in a week or so, and can give the rights to the person or people that the community agrees on.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the calm discussion -- I've given the rights to Zakkoroen and Jonniboi as they were the two users with unanimous support. They both have bureaucrat rights and so may promote other admins if the community feels more are needed.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 06:11, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Wicca Wiki (Accepted)
I am a bit confused to the powers given to me. Do I need to add to the page as an "anyone" before being considered to having reign over it?


 * You have already been given admin rights (which allows you to delete and protect pages, and modify the interface) and bureaucrat rights (which allow you to make other users into admins). Please be bold about making improvements to the wiki -- it has been inactive for quite a long time and needs a loving hand to bring it to life!  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

portalgame.wikia.com (Declined)
This wiki was dead, but i can reload it. I am Portal fan. Or activate portal-game.wikia.com and delete old wiki. SiPlus 18:38, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * This wiki was adopted by User:Kid2255 just a few days ago -- I am sure s/he would be delighted to have another Portal fan to help out there, and may be willing to accept you as a co-admin. Please go say hello and start making improvements to the wiki!  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * idiots. SiPlus 09:59, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Speculative Evolution (Accepted)
May I adopt Speculative Evolution Wiki The wiki has been abandoned and I am the only user editing there at the moment though I've linked an article about alien evolution with my story about the same aliens on Novelas at The Aliens of the Flaming Red Sun. Interest in Speculative Evolution Wiki may increase if science fiction readers follow the links.

I'm interested in Astrobiology and speculation about the evolution of life away from Earth is part of that subject. I edited Speculative Evolution Wiki a bit last September and when I returned this week I noted that my article How Life could Evolve in a Red Dwarf Star System was one of the most visited articles. It looks like I'm more involved with that wiki than anyone else at the moment. I'm already a sysop on Liberapedia and a bureaucrat on Atheism Wiki. I hope I've shown that I'm trustworthy on both wikis. Proxima Centauri 19:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't know how to make an adoption template and would appreciate it if someone were to make some for me for Atheism Wiki and for Speculative Evolution Wiki. Alternatively can someone show me how to make one? Proxima Centauri 08:05, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Those templates are for an inactive administration rather than a inactive community, so I don't think that you should make one for the Atheism wiki. I added Adopt to Wikia's Speculative Evolution article page. You may add  to the Speculative Evolution wiki's main page if you may convince a staff member to lower the main page's protection level. Template:WikiaAdoption is one of those templates that can be trancluded onto other wikis. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 12:42, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your interest, Proxima Centauri -- I've given you the admin rights on Speculative Evolution. Please keep creating new pages and welcoming new users.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for making me an admin. I will check regularly for vandals though they haven't been a problem on that wiki. I will notice new users and welcome if any arrive there. I will make sure that I write something of general interest and new as often as possible, probably at least once a week. I'm interested in speculative evolution as part of exobiology. The wiki can also be helpful to high school students who are interested in it as it can help them understand biology and evolution better. Proxima Centauri 10:02, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Yesterday I started an account at Wikiversity and at least one intellectual is interested in Speculative Evolution Wiki. See ETI Scenario I. I’m a bit concerned that the High School material I inherited will discourage intellectuals. Is there a case for starting a new wiki to separate intellectual material from high school material? Do you have experience with this type of thing? Proxima Centauri


 * You (and any other active users on the project) may edit, reorganize, move, or even delete the work of previous users if you feel it will improve the wiki -- you are welcome to use categories, templates, project or custom namespaces, subpages, or any other organization scheme that helps. As with any type of wiki editing, it's simply best to be polite and respectful -- one should always assume the original author may return someday and see any edit/move/delete summary that you use, so don't use any summaries you wouldn't want to see applied to your own work.  :)   — Catherine (talk) 14:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

The work of the previous teenage author most certainly shouldn't be deleted. It improves the wiki. I was thinking about making separate wikis but that's a bit premature. This week I've worked hard on Novelas, Liberapedia and Steven Colbert's Wikiality. I'll go back to Speculative Evolution later. Proxima Centauri 18:45, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello! Project (Accepted)
Hello, I would like to request the right to adopt this wiki as the site seems to be inactive. The admin has not been active in quite awhile and the pages that had been created were only very basic or half finished in regards to content. I would like to adopt the wiki and bring it up to standard as the subject it is about is still ongoing, causing new information to surface on a weekly basis. I have edited several existing pages to bring them up to standard and have created pages where needed. However one of the main pages that needs to be edited has been locked, when I try to edit it says I do not have the right. Hopefully you will allow me to adopt this wiki so I can thoroughly bring it up to scratch, thank-you.

Hikitty 20:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Very nice work, Hikitty -- I've given you administrator rights. Please unprotect the necessary pages and keep creating pages and welcoming new users.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Patapon (Accepted)
I would like to adopt the Patapon Wiki. The only admin/bureaucrat has been inactive for nearly half a year. I tried to contact him, but I have never received a reply of any kind. I have created at least 9 new articles, and I have been contributing regularly for around 2 month now. Not too many registered or anonymous users help me with the editing of the article, so I want to adopt that page and make it even better and I will be active. Here is the site:



by the way, if I do become the admin of the Patapon Wiki, how do you change the theme, the skin and the logo for the wiki?

--Yumipon 20:34, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The wiki has other active users -- have you discussed with User:Taser9090 and User:Axel naruto whether they agree on who should become admin? Once you've all agreed, we'll be happy to hand out the tools.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for having a discussion with the other users -- I've given you admin rights. Please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 14:28, 10 March 2009 (UTC)


 * By the way, can you tell me how to change the current title and background image of the Wikia into something else?

Looking to adopt (Declined)
I'm interested in any Blizzard Entertainment wiki (e.g. Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft) or any fan-based wiki on them.The Archangel Tyrael 20:59, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Danrr is currently a very active mod at Blizzard Entertainment Wiki. If you want to be a mod there you'll need to ask that user. Devilmanozzy 11:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Here are a few wikis I would want to adopt:

http://diablo2info.wikia.com/wiki/Diablo_2_Wiki <--Just this one then.

The Archangel Tyrael 21:01, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

EDIT: I searched, but could not find the Blizzard entertainment wiki. The Archangel Tyrael 22:50, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, you can only adopt 1 wiki in 60 days. That means you're going to have to pick one of these two wikis to adopt, and cross out the entry on the other with the strikethrough marks.--Iner22 23:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The first and last wiki are possible to build up, while the middle one isn't by Wikia so it's nothing to do with this. If you want either of those wiki's you'll need to post new articles at the given wiki before you can be a mod. I'd personally suggest working with Blizzard Entertainment Wiki. Devilmanozzy 11:41, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It appears that all of these wikis have active communities and are ineligible for adoption. I suggest you start making helpful edits so that you can earn adminship over time at one or more of these wikis.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Kingdom Under fire (Declined)
I would like too be admin there. There are no admins there so I need to be there to stop vandels.--The Holy Crusader 13:14, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The current admin, User:The Holy Knight, last edited less than two weeks ago, so the wiki isn't available for adoption -- I suggest you start editing and making friends there and you may be able to earn adminship over time. — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Not when user holy knight was banned by that idiot Uberfrenzy. Well I guess wikias are ****.

warrior cats wikia (declined)
i want this wikia -- User:Fireheart1 08:32, March 2, 2009


 * Thanks for your interest. warriors.wikia.com has two active admins at this time. I also don't see that you've made any contributions on that wiki as of yet. Please feel free to contribute to the community before approaching the admins for additional user rights. —Scott ( talk ) 17:52, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Spookpedia (Accepted)
I would like to adopt this wikia. Thank you! Firon 21:46, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I had forgotten to add my name, sorry,Firon 21:46, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * You've gotten off to a nice start there and the wiki has no admins at all, so I've given you the admin tools. Please keep up the good work!  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you! Do I also have bureaucrat abilities? Firon 17:26, 6 March 2009 (UTC)

Dave Matthews Band wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I would like to have admin rights on the Dave Matthews Band wiki. There is one user there who hasn't been active in some time, and most of the articles are very short stubs of no more than four sentences. I would like to have admin rights to really start the Wiki and improve it significantly. There was one person (User:dmbfansite) who was active for 2 days on 27 and 28 December 2008. It doesn't seem like there is anyone else. --Son 21:51, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your interest -- the DMB site deserves to be much bigger! I've given you the admin tools and I hope to see this wiki grow.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Poptropica Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I'd like admin rights on the Poptropica wiki, most of the articles on the wiki are useless and the admins havent been active for 30 days. 11:09, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Lots of great work there, Greennave, I've happily given you the tools. Enjoy!  — Catherine (talk) 14:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

India (not an adoption request)
Who Runs India?

Indian will witness nationwide elections in june 09. Information on politicians is segregated and difficult to find. A wiki on politicians would reduce the total time consumed.
 * Try using w:c:india:Special:ListUsers. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 22:38, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Dore chakravarty is the currently active admin -- I'm sure s/he would welcome your help improving information on politicians in India. — Catherine (talk) 14:53, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Shadow Hearts Wiki (Accepted)
I'd like to become an administrator on on the Shadow Hearts Wiki. The owner of the site hasn't been active since Feb 08 and thus cannot bestow it upon anyone one. One of the other admins on the site (User: Demon Rays)has suggest and is fine with me becoming part of the admin.

Yours 0001 22:30, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

A little addition-I'm not an admin, but I did consider adopting it at one time, but yeah I'm fine with him adopting it.--Demon Rays 22:38, 4 March 2009 (UTC)

My apologies. In that case I would like to adopt the Shadow Hearts wiki then :)0001 22:57, 4 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks like your wiki has a great little community already. I look forward to seeing the wiki grow!  I've given you the admin rights, 0001 - you can use Special:UserRights to share them with others.  — Catherine (talk) 16:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Heroes and protagonists (On hold)
Hi, I'm Deathwalker 13000. I wanted to know if I could start a wiki for heroes and protagonists (not the TV show, but heroes meaning the good guys in stories, movies, video games, etc.). I'm an admin at villains wiki, and I kind of want to, um, well, expand. If you know what I mean.


 * Have you seen Heroes of Entertainment? It seems to be intended as a Villains counterpart.  It's inactive and eligible for adoption if you'd like to start editing there!  — Catherine (talk) 16:08, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Marvel Online (On hold)
Hello I am Darkjak1 here to Request to Adapt[] Marvelonlinewiki. It only has 5 Articals and 6 Images. I know that if I adapted this Wiki I can bring back up. I will be able to get more and more people to view that wiki. Plese.

Nip/Tuck (On hold)
Hi, I'd like to adopt the Nip/Tuck wikia. There's a lot missing from it that I would like to add, and fix, and if the information in it could be updated, I think it would be a great thing to have with all Nip/Tuck Fans. I'd also like to design and add a better background, and cut unnecessary articles from it that I see. Also, I want to update the episode information for season five, because only four or five of the 22 episodes are listed.

Spongebob Wikia (Declined)
Hello, i would like to adopt the Spongebob wikia because i have seen that some of the vandalism on the website has become ridiculous. Also, some very neccesary articles have NOT been created and i would and will, if given a chance make sure those articles are created. Another thing i would like to work on is the freedom of editing on that site(let alone many other wikis). I would like to have the editing material checked out, and not have users banned for 2 or 3 months for putting inappropriate material. I don`t think that the wiki users should get banned because it is not their fault, it is the websites that they cannot deal with this subject before it comes to multiple months of banishment. Also, i would like to approach the lack of Photos for each character of the show. I think that every character should have a picture and it is NO excuse just because they cannot find it over the web. They should definetly upload pictures of their own. If you let me adopt this site I will do my ABSULUTE BEST to add photos, get rid of unwanted and inappropriate material, and add neccessary pages. I will also make the "List of characters" much more understandable. I promise this wiki will improve much so if you allow me to adopt it!

 * Spongebob is an active wiki -- please start making helpful edits there and talk to other users about the improvements you'd like to make. Be friendly, get to know others, and you may be able to earn adminship over time.  Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 16:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

The Host Wiki (Accepted)
Hi, I'm Robinleaf. Before, I asked to adopt the Camp Halfblood wiki, but I've changed my mind because I've found a different wiki that needs definite tending to. The wiki is called The Host, after Stephenie Meyer's book, not of the Twilight series. I haven't seen any articles or members there, so I'd like to be an admin of it/adopt the wiki if possible. I'm currently working on making articles for the wiki as well. From what I've seen, the admin hasn't even tried creating any articles. -- Robinleaf


 * Nice start! Please keep up the good work with your new tools.  Be sure to invite and welcome new users from other Host communities!  — Catherine (talk) 16:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Any Wikia!! (Declined)
Hey Please message me if you would like me to Adopted a wikia that includes the title.


 * We have over 10,000 wikis, many of them inactive. I suggest you use the "Search Wikia" box in the sidebar to find something you're interested in and start editing -- if the one you like doesn't have any active admins, then you can put in a request to adopt it.  — Catherine (talk) 16:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Avernum Wiki (Accepted)
If you want to adopt a wiki, I'll make you admin in this wiki, I'm not active in this much now. Im the creator of this wiki. --Greennavetalk 09:12, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks like Greennave has you taken care of. :)  — Catherine (talk) 16:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Resistance Fall of Wiki (On hold)
I would like to take adminship of Resistance Fall of wiki, seeing to the fact that the original admin has been inactive for quite a while and I would like to take responsiblity for the wiki so I can bring it to tip top shape and prevent any vandalism from striking it.--Rgknight2346 09:26, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Their are others active editors in the wiki, have you discussed to them who will be admin? --Greennavetalk 09:54, 8 March 2009 (UTC)

Well, after Catherine messaged the much more active users on the wiki, we were talking about who will take the job, and after that another member put a post on the Talkpage of the main menu about voting for who will be admin, but it seems no one even noticed it and there's been no voting on who will take the job, but I'll discuss with them about this matter.--Rgknight2346 11:48, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * When there are several active users it's best that they decide who is the most trusted -- when you've come to a conclusion at http://resistancefallofman.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Main_Page#ADMINSHIP on which one (or more) users should be admin, let us know and we'll hand out the tools.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 16:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

It.education (Withdrawn)
Hi to the principal user, I want to adopt this wiki about the education in italy (my country), because it really needs an admin (it's more than 60 days that the original admin and the other users doesn't do anything in it)-- 10:58, 8 March 2009 (UTC)
 * I didn't adopt any wiki in the last 60 days, or created a wiki, and no one gave me an admin acess on a wiki. I didn't be banned in a wiki. I created a welcome template. And sorry for my bad english-- 12:26, 9 March 2009 (UTC)

Sorry, but I received Admin Access, on [Biopedia


 * We will be happy to have your help on both biografie and it.education -- we would like to have a welcoming place for all Italian-speaking students and teachers. Please feel free to request adoption again when a little time has passed.  — Catherine (talk) 16:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Hell Girl (Jigoku Shoujo) Wiki (Accepted)
I would like to adopt the Hell Girl wiki (http://hell-girl.wikia.com/wiki/Hell_Girl_(Jigoku_Shoujo)_Wiki).


 * The wiki is inactive. No sustained edits have been done by other users in a long time for the english version of the wiki. In fact, there is almost no active users on the wiki now. There is only one admin/bureaucrat, and he is absent in the said wiki from the 12th of September 2008.


 * I have not founded, adopted or been given admin access on another wiki in the last 60 days, neither have I been blocked on another Wikia project.


 * I have edited on the wiki, and have created new pages.

Due to all of the above reasons, added with the fact that I have knowledge about the contents of this wiki has made me stand up for this wiki. I wish to make this wiki stand again, and for that to happen I would need to improve it from a lot of aspects - and I do plan to.

I'm confused if it is possible for me to be an admin and bureaucrat at the same time, so I need some answer to this. But anyways, for the better meant of this wiki, I request that I be given both admin and bureaucrat rights. Max 12 16:03, 8 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Great work -- and yes, I've given you admin and bureaucrat rights. ('Crat rights just allow you to make other users admins -- that's why it was given such a bland name.)  — Catherine (talk) 16:41, 10 March 2009 (UTC)

Halo Wiki (Declined)
I saw on the list that the halo wiki was "up for adoption". I have not been blocked and I edit halopedia often. I am not an admin, but I believe I could be. I would be very grateful if you let me run halopedia.

I have not founded(although i have submited an idea), adopted or been given admin access on another wiki in the last 60 days, neither have I been blocked on another Wikia project.

I have edited on the wiki, and have created new pages. (Sorry for copying max)

English Deus Ex Wiki (en.deusex.wikia.com)
Being a long time fan of Deus Ex and recently renewing my interest in the online community side I chose to look up a wiki on the subject. To my disappointment it seems that it is lacking in content, the admin not reviewing speedy delete requests and little content being added.

I am new to the wiki and have added a template and one new page so far, with more to follow. Due to a project involving Deus Ex I will soon be undertaking I will be needing to write up a lot of notes on the subject and I figure that the wiki is the best place to do it as it shares information with the community.

The last on the contrib list for the admin is 12:19, 27 September 2008.

If you feel that I have not made enough contributions to warrant admin of the wiki then I would recommend that you contact Nathan2000 as he is the admin of the polish version of the site and someone that I would have made admin myself should he desire it.

Oddworld
Dear Wikia staff, I am writing to adopt Oddworld. I have tried before, but my luck was the worst possible. A admin got on and made a small edit, rendering the wiki active. It still is like this. I do tons of work on there, and I truly believe I deserve admin rights. Adoption was also suggested to me by "Wendy."

Thank you for your time, I iz guy --I iz guy...so iz U 19:50, 11 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Me again! It seems that the admin has technically not made an edit for a while, just logged in, so I would guess that he's given up on the wiki.  I would guess that the Helpers would accept an adoption request now.

P.S. The user you were talking about is actually called Merrystar. It's just that the signature says "Wendy."--Iner22 20:56, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

I knew that. Turns out Merrystar is the "helper"... what should I do?--I iz guy...so iz U 22:06, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Anime Fanon
I want to adopt the Anime Fanon wiki, for the time being. Except for me, Elcidboy is the only one who has contributed there for ages. And 99% of the articles were created by me.

The old admin seems to have locked several pages, like the main page and the wiki logo, both of wich I wanted to edit to make it more appealing to visitors.

Sadly I won't be able to stay for long, but I hope to promote some people to admin if the wiki becomes more active. If I can't be admin for that reason, please at least unlock the main page and the wiki logo.

Thank you. ~Genshoku Takeshi 19:52, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Adopt the Cleveland Show Wiki
I'm currently the main contributing editor on both the Family Guy Wiki and American Dad Wiki I would like to become one for "The Cleveland Show" wiki. The site really has no user traffic now, and each day more and more information is becoming available. I believe I have a good track record, and i've attempted to contact the admins for the wiki but they haven't been active since June 2008. Anyways I was hoping I can adopt it so I can begin to build up the page and have it be a great resource for fans of the show. I've attempted to work on the wiki a little, but without the admin priveleges I'm unable to create everything that i need. Thanks Grande13 20:59, 11 March 2009 (UTC)

Boom Blox wiki
Hello, I'm Parkster and I would like to Boom Blox wiki.

I have a lot of knowledge on the game, and I often contribute to a wide variety of wikis.

Boom Blox wiki is in a very bad state, but I could change that.


 * Hi, I don't see that you've made any edits on that wiki yet. If you can make a few edits on it, then you still could adopt, but as it is, you will most likely be declined.--Iner22 15:57, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Scratch Programming Wiki
(Note to the Wikia Moderators: I requested a new scratch wiki before noticing the adoption feature. Sorry about that~)

Hi there. I'm Kyasae, and I'd like the adopt the Scratch Programming Wiki, as its creator last edited in December - three months ago. The front page still remains blank, only one or two pictures exist in the wiki, and only around ten articles have been written. He has also created an essentially pointless article called "Sandbox," which consists of the sole sentences "This is the sandbox on Scratch Programming Wiki" and "this is my sandbox." I have written a few articles and submitted a possible Wiki logo, and posted an "ad" for the Wiki on the official Scratch website already. (Though I only joined yesterday... I've taken an interest in developing the Wiki further.) I think you'll see I meet the requirements; the admin has been active for approximately 90 days, I have not adopted, been blocked, been given admin access, or founded (as long as my note above is noticed in time) a wiki in the last 60 days; I have edited once or twice, and I have added several new pages. I hope that I will be able to improve the wiki more as an admin.

Trophy Manager Wiki
http://trophymanager.wikia.com/wiki/Trophy_Manager_Wiki

Hi. I would like to adopt the Trophy Manager wiki. I've taken over the reorganization of this wiki, which we plan to develop into a comprehensive one with lots of info.

1) The wiki is not totally inactive, certain users edit their own pages (of their clubs), which is great, but admin(s) are nowhere to be seen and there are many things that need to be done. It's mostly adding new stuff, but it's also a bit of editing here and there.

2) I have not been given admin access on any wiki so far and I have not been blocked on any Wikia project.

3) I've edited many TM wikis and created at least two pages. I plan to do much more (see below).

4) I've rewritten the main page (with a customized welcome template) and I of course expressed a warm welcome to all new contributors.

5) Detailed reasons for my application:

- There is lots of work to be done and I'm dedicated to see that it does actually gets done;

- I've been learning how to edit files/threads/entries in wiki style and am getting the hang of it, using different templates and all that stuff (new templates will be created, too and many images added);

- It's mostly about cleaning the whole thing up now, while it's still at an early stage (100 articles, about 800 pages, but with many dead links) so that we can later on build a larger wiki on good foundations;

- Some categories need a bit of changing aka renamining, some pages need to be revamped and reorganized and that's basically it, but there's one important thing, which is why I need to apply for some kind of clearance - I need to be able to do three things, namely change names of categories, change names of pages and delete some of the obsolete pages and dead links, that's all I'm really looking for. I would, of course, be willing to take full responsibility and be accountable for any page that I would delete or change in any way. I would not interfere with pages other users maintain, maybe just edit a few words or make the pages look a bit nicer wiki-style here and there (but would not mess with their contents, it is every user's freedom to build his or her own page in their own style and manner) - I can start the main work without that clearance, but it it's just double work to go back later (when I do get clearance) and change all categories and some page names, it's much easier and neater to just do the whole thing in one go;

- The dead links and 'dead pages' refer to a few pages which have been unused or blank for quite a while, some are of clubs (football clubs in our management game) which don't even exist anymore and even though in most cases editing does the trick, in certain (few) cases the only thing is to delete it otherwise it just hangs out there like a dead link, which is useless;

- I've made a list of about 80 new wiki pages which will be created and then maintained (these are general pages with info on past competitions, stats and so on), there will be even more in the future;

- I will supervise the development of each club's page and use the forum in TM to encourage other users to create pages about their clubs or national teams;

- I will update all pages I create regularly (once per season aka at least every three months, but many of the pages will ne constantly updated with new data, as it becomes available as the game unfolds);

- I would like to lock a few pages (very few), like I've seen on Wikipedia (where they think violation is probable) only those which will not change, such as pages with results of previous continental cups, world cups, national leagues and national cups (these are all in the past and final standings can not be changed, so leaving these pages open for editing actually means they're open for abuse, though it's also true I don't believe any TM member would try to temporarily ruin a wikia page for any reason, so I guess this is not crucial;

- I will help provide community guidelines to new members and help them with editing tips;

- I have built good rapport with many users in the TM community (and it's a great community with many cool people);

- If it all goes according to plan (2 days to finish 1 page), I should finish all work by September, though it may take me till the end of the year, when this should be one great wiki! I'm dedicated and will see this thing through;

- I don't know what all the possible admin positions are in Wikia, for me it doesn't matter what it is, I just need to have authorization to do the three things I mentioned above (change names of categories and pages and delete a few dead pages);

- If necessary, I can, of course, be reached via e-mail (not sure whether I should leave it here or not, please let me know).

Thanks!

UnFunOrb Wiki
Hello, recently I have been editing the UnFunOrb Wiki, and I seem to be the only one to have edited it since September '08. FunOrb is on online gaming site that can be read more about here. I have tried to clean it up, whoever owned it had a habit of capitalizing letters that don't need to be capitalized... Anyway, I find myself unable to actually really clean it up without Administrator powers. There are useless pages the owner created in his frustration of being unable to have his wiki be active, for example, a page tilted "WTF" which has a single sentence commenting on how no one uses the wiki, and needs to be deleted, but there are no Admins to delete it, or anyone else but me for that matter. There are other things that need to be done, cleaned up, ect. If I receive Bureaucrat status, I plan to generally improve the layout of the site, then start advertising, recruiting, etcetera on the FunOrb Wiki, the RuneScape Wiki (RuneScape is owned by the owners of FunOrb), and the UnRuneScape Wiki. If this adoption request is denied due to the number of edits I have made to the wiki, I understand and I shall contribute more and try again in a couple weeks. Thank you. Signed, 9the Enigma9 01:28, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

Spaceballs Wiki
I would like to adopt the spaceballs Wiki because no one has made edits in a long time but me. I am Sorcerer123.

Wii Wiki
I would like to adopt the Wii Wiki as I have made many edits, created many "Wanted Pages" and reverted vandalism with the undo button. I posted a request at the RfA page last week, but I have not received a response and none of the existing admins have edited for over three months. The only other person to have edited this wiki in the last week is Galuminas; however, he vandalised many pages on 20 February including the Main Page; therefore, I do not believe that he should have sysop rights.

Although I have founded the Windows 7 Wiki and the Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Wiki and been given admin access on the Admin Tools Wiki over the last 60 days, I would still like to adopt this wiki for the following reasons:
 * Windows 7 will not be relased for about 9 months and many features are expected to change by then, so I plan to expand that wiki when more information becomes available.
 * I am no longer going to edit Mario and Sonic at the Olympic Games Wiki because I do not believe that many people will still be interested in that game (I have tagged it for adoption).
 * Admin Tools Wiki is a test wiki, which I joined so that I could test admin tools before using them on other wikis. Therefore, there is nothing for me to contribute there.

I am an editor on Wikipedia (My User Page) where I regularly revert vandalism and report vandals, and I would like to do the same here.

(Although my block log on Admin Tools Wiki says that I have been blocked, test blocks are allowed on that wiki (as shown on this page), and the block was not because of vandalism). GT5162 21:20, 13 March 2009 (UTC)

DragCave Wikia-- Adoption Request
I would very much like to take over the Dragon Cave Wikia. As far as I can tell, it was created and relatively abandoned, and I would love to improve it and make it 100x better than it is now. I have already contributed to the wiki, creating pages for a few of the existing dragons and sprite artists., but there are a few pages I would like to delete, and I would feel much better revising the entire wiki if I were the new admin of it, instead of looking like a pesky user trying to undermine everything the creator did.

I am always open for contributions, but also respect TJ Lipscombs's (the game creator's) wishes and would only post information that will not spoil the game in any way.

Playsaga wiki
Hi, I recently got a spark of interest to contribute to a wiki based on the online MMORTS game, saga. I searched for an existing site for about an hour, and only found a single wiki by another wiki hosting site(which I've had a bad experience with in the past). After even more searching, I was unable to find a saga wiki hosted by wikia. Dismayed, I decided to do the wikia community a favor, and begin hosting a saga wiki. I had big plans, and even drew out my ideas on paper, I couldnt wait to get started. Needless to say, I was disappointed when my bid was declined, and surprised to discover that despite my searching, there already existed a saga wiki.

So how couldn't I find this wiki? Because there's nothing on it. I immediately set to work, editing left and right, putting the ideas I origionally had for my wiki, onto this one. Through my edits I realized that the origional admin hasn't actually dont any edits at all, and the wiki was created last november(5 months ago)! Infact the only edits at all since I got here were by people giving him resources to help him ease into the process of creating a gaming wiki.

Trying to save this wiki is going to require alot of work, but I'm editing as we speak to try and bring it up to the wikia quality I've enjoyed on other topics. I feel that having administration rights on this wiki would only aid me in this endeavour.

Thank you for your consideration. Tuner89 00:52, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't know if I have to be an administrator to actually do this but eh.

Fantage Wiki
I would like to request adopting the Fantage wiki.

The current wiki has been around for a year and doesn't cover even a fourth of the online games content. Some of the current articles do not even give the correct titles.

Community
 * Also, the only recent activity on it has been me editing what little pages they have. I haven't seen any activity from other members, and the admin seems to have abandoned it.

I would like to make a complete wiki, and hopefully bring the community in. It would just be myself (Toeflling) working on it. Thank you.
