Smallville wiki, again (Declined)
I'm ready to try again to adopt Smallville wiki, am i able to yet? Elbutler 15:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Adoption requests are for communities that are inactive. Smallville Wiki is a very active community, so it's not possible to adopt it. Please feel free to contribute there, and get to know the community! -- Danny (talk ) 17:40, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Drawn to life (Accepted)
If possible, I would like to adopt Drawn to Life wiki. I am a big fan of Drawn to life. I am almost the only user to have edited anything in the last 60 days. I have been a great help to the wiki, even up to deciding the first featured article. I also need to edit the sidebar because, among other things, there is a typo. Solar flute 05:25, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

They ignored me when I requested a wiki too. Solar flute


 * Hi Solar flute! It looks like you're offto a great start on Drawn to life.  I've made you a sysop.  Keep up the good work! --KyleH (talk) 21:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

hellsing wiki (Declined)
i would like to adopt the hellsing wiki as i know quite a fair bit about hellsing and the page(s0 are quite scarce and don't provide much information for others looking at watching the anime and OVA's or looking at reading the manga. i would be able to make a huge contribution to that particular page, so please let me adopt this poor lost hellsing page.

i would also appreciate if anyone who's a hellsing fan contact me with information you may have about the manga, anime or OVA's.

death note XD aka Michaela


 * Hi Michaela. I think it's great that you want to improve the Hellsing Wiki.  However I can't see that you have ever made any edits there.  There's a lot you can do as a regular contributor to improve articles and make the wiki a fun place.  We want to see you building the wiki before you become an admin there.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:44, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Adoption Request for Book Wiki (Declined)
Hello There!

I am interested in adopting the Books Wiki. I've made quite a few edits there and am going to start a welcome template today. It would be best if I could become a sysop and/or bureaucrat there, too. I looked and there was only one sysop there and that person hasn't edited the wiki since August of 2007.

If you could leave me a message on my talk page with your response, that would be great.

Thanks so much,

Jonathan W. My Talk Page / My User Page


 * Hi Jonathan. I'm glad that you are interested in writing about books.  May I suggest, however, that the type of pages you are making would fit better on Literature Wiki.  If you read the front page, you will see that Books Wiki was intended to function as a place for "meta-data" on books; links and information, but not long descriptions.  There seems little purpose in duplicating the type of content that already exists on a different wiki.  That aside, I only see one real article that you have made on the wiki, and you've only been working there for two days.  We like to see people contributing real content (not just templates and user pages) for awhile before they try to adopt a wiki.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:16, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm Dizzymood and I would like to adopt this wiki. I love reading books and I think a great book lover like me should adopt this wiki. I will keep editing your wiki with love and care.
 * Hi Dizzywood; your request for a Xat wiki has been accepted; please focus on getting that project off the ground. Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 03:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Adopting The M.U.G.E.N Wiki (Accepted)
Hi Wikia!

I'd like to adopt the M.U.G.E.N Wiki please. I know loads of stuff about M.U.G.E.N.

Thanks, --OpenBSDWiki 00:31, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi OpenBSDWiki. I think it's great that you want to improve the M.U.G.E.N. Wiki. However I can't see that you have ever made any edits there. There's a lot you can do as a regular contributor to improve articles and make the wiki a fun place. We want to see you building the wiki before you become an admin there. — Catherine (talk) 19:44, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Err... he's trying to adopt the MUGEN wiki. YOWUZA TALK 2 ME! 17:15, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * My mistake (fixed now - yay for wikis!) OpenBSD, you made some small edits a few days ago but I'd like to see some more sustained editing over time, okay?  Please keep up the good work.  — Catherine (talk) 03:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the effort -- I've given you admin rights now. Have fun!  — Catherine (talk) 05:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Programming Wiki (Accepted)
I want to merge programming with code, but... Well, just read this. I realize that my adoption of the JavaScript Wiki was less than 60 days ago, but I'd appreciate Bureaucrat and Sysop rights on the Programming Wiki. Thanks. --Jesdisciple (talk) 00:22, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * This looks like a good merger, and it doesn't seem there are any objections.  You won't need admin rights to use w:c:Special:Export from Programming; just let me know when it's done and I will disable the wiki and redirect the url http://programming.wikia.com to http://code.wikia.com (although in my opinion Programming might be the better title for the combined wiki -- we could just as easily change the url of the current Code wiki to programming.wikia, leaving code.wikia as a redirect.  Your choice!)  Thanks for your effort in combining these very similar wikis.  — Catherine (talk) 19:53, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * http://code.wikia.com already has a community, so would redirecting it to http://programming.wikia.com cause any disturbance? Either way, I'll ask the former wiki's admin for his opinion and link over here.
 * I actually did export the pages I haven't already copied manually, but I can't import them because I'm not an admin at the destination wiki. Do I need to upload them to a file-hosting service for the admin at http://code.wikia.com to download and import?  Thanks again! --Jesdisciple (talk) 20:51, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Just get the complete list of pages (Special:Export works on a list, and it doesn't have to be generated from a category, either) to the other admin and let him do the export/import? Anyway, I'm happy things seem to be working out well. --◄mendel► 22:12, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I misunderstood -- I thought you were already an admin on Code. Yes, you can either send the XML file generated by Special:Export to an existing admin (via email, file hosting, Yousendit, etc), or s/he can generate their own XML file from Programming, or you can ask if a Code bureaucrat would be willing to make you a (possibly temporary) admin there so that you can handle the Special:Import.

And yes, if we change the url of code.wikia to programming.wikia, leaving code.wikia as a redirct, all old links will function the same. It's up to the communities to decide; I just think that "programming wiki" is something potential new users are more likely to be looking for than "code wiki". Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 22:35, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * If the redirect won't disrupt anything, why do we need the articles exported? Or does "function the same" somehow mean one wiki's articles will be hidden from non-staff?
 * EDIT: Also, my main problem with the "programming" subdomain is that some computer languages (e.g. CSS, HTML, and XML) are not programming languages, although they are handled by programs. --Jesdisciple (talk) 01:48, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Fair enough; that's a good argument for keeping the url as Code.wikia.  Please let me know when the transfer is complete and I'll close and redirect the Programming wiki.  — Catherine (talk) 03:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Pt.Conlang (Accepted)
I like adopt the portuguese Conlang--Dono da Vila 16:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You've done some nice things there! I've granted the admin rights there -- thanks for your hard work! — Catherine (talk) 19:49, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

WP: South Park (Declined)
I would love to be a administrator on this Wiki! The reason i haven't edited it yet is because I just found it. I'm an established user on enWikipedia, I use WP:Twinkle and have been granted WP:Rollback righs on there, so I know what I'm doing, please give me the administrator tool for this wiki, I won't fail you! Steelerfan-94 22:27, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Southpark.wikia is an active community with current admins -- if you love South Park please join in and start helping out! You can earn adminship there the same way you can at Wikipedia: by making lots of helpful edits and being kind to other users.  Have fun!  — Catherine (talk) 22:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Heroes Wiki (Accepted)
I would love to adopt the Heroes Wiki since admins haven't been on for a while. I will help it to grow. I've already started working on it! Destiny! 01:05, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You're right, it could use a steady admin. Could you create and customize some welcome templates there?  You can copy the ones from Template:Welcome and Template:WelcomeIP if you like.  Then you can start using them to say hello to new users (those with red "Talk" links on Recent changes).  Once you've done that we can look at setting you up as admin.  — Catherine (talk) 19:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay. I've done that. Destiny! 09:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks; I've granted you admin rights. Please make sure to keep creating new pages and welcoming new users -- it's the best way to help your project thrive!  — Catherine (talk) 00:16, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

College Basketball (Declined)
I would like to adopt the College Basketball wikia, I have a huge interest in college basketball and I need the administrator tools to get it up and going, college basketball is coming up soon so I would like to able to have it ready by then, I know a-lot of user's who could help me out on this, the potential is unlimited and there's no one who care's about it....please let me adopt it. Thanks.....Steelerfan-94 18:01, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've already started expanding it, and there's only been one edit in "30" day's! Steelerfan-94 18:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Anybody? Please. Steelerfan-94 19:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * O.K, please don't ignore me, if you need people to vouch for me I know countless administrator's on Wikipedia that would. I can't even begin to start I need to be able to rollback edit's, general clean up please just grant me this, someone...Steelerfan-94 03:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Steelerfan! It's great that you're excited about the College Basketball wiki!  However, founding and adopting wikis is a lot of work.  You recently requested an Arkansas wiki as well, and that request as approved.  Try focusing your efforts there for a while.  If after a month or two you find that you still have some extra time, give us a yell and we can talk about adopting the College Basketball wiki again. --KyleH (talk) 22:05, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

The Pretender Wiki (Accepted)
I would like to adopt the wiki on the tv show: The Pretender. It appears to have been empty since it was first created til yesterday when I added pages for Season 1 and Season 2, today I will add a page for Jarod which would have been added yesterday had the db not been locked for editing. Miss Parker 19:40, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. You've made a nice start to this wiki, and it's good to see some content being added. Could you go ahead and make/customize a welcome template in case other visitors stop by?  -- Wendy  (talk ) 18:30, 29 October 2008 (UTC)
 * That looks great -- you should be all set! -- Wendy  (talk ) 19:54, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

English Hamsters Wiki (Declined)
I would like to adopt the Hamsters Wiki, it is inactive since August 21 2008

-- The Pirate  Ahoy! Talk T' Th' Pirate 03:15, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Aqua Jet -- you haven't made any edits there yet. There's a lot you can do as a regular contributor to improve articles and make the wiki a fun place.  We want to see you building the wiki before you become an admin there.  — Catherine (talk) 03:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Star Ocean Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I'd like to adopt the Star Ocean Wiki here, which has seen very little activity in ages. Diablocon 17:35, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * It looks like you're making a great start there, but there's a couple other recently active users who should have a say. I suggest you start a topic about who should receive admin rights in the forum, and we can provide a link to the discussion in the site notice.  We'd also like to see you welcoming other new users (those with red Talk links on Recent Changes).  Once the community has come to a decision we can provide admin and bureaucrat rights as necessary.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 18:15, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the response. I've created the forum topic here, so now I wait (and make more aticles). :) Diablocon 18:42, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Yep, thanks for the good attitude! I've left a comment in the discussion there; just let us know when the community has come to a decision so that we can assign the rights as needed.  Keep up the good work!  — Catherine (talk) 00:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The community has no qualms of Diablocon as sysop. Bluer 18:16, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * OK, I have promoted you, Diablocon! — Catherine (talk) 05:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Ghost in the Shell Wikia (Declined)
Hello there,

I'm Subtank aka Little Missy and I'm requesting to adopt GITS Wikia. The Admin (Dantman) has been inactive for months now, contents is ancient and old and I am keen on improving the site. :)

Subtank05:13, 30 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Subtank. You've made a nice start to the site.  However, you were made admin on Halo Fanon less than 60 days ago, and you started a wiki for Space Invasion just over 60 days ago.   In addition, you've only contributed to Ghost in the Shell for a couple of days.  There's a lot you can do as a regular user to update the content while continuing to build up your other wikis right now.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 15:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

New World Order (Declined)
I would like to adopt the NWO wiki because the founder admin has not edited the website after this July, four months ago. Truthbot911 22:17, 30 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You've only made one edit there, and there are several other active users. Please start editing more steadily -- this wiki needs a lot more articles! -- and then start a discussion with the community about who should become an admin.  Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 00:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, sure, I guess it is a good idea that one should be established as an editor before becomeing an admin. But what community? Truthbot911 01:03, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * User:Proxima Centauri and User:Wikiar have both edited in the last month -- please chat with them about whether one or more of you should be an admin, and start making more edits, and we can reconsider this request in a couple of weeks. Thank you! — Catherine (talk) 05:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

es.tibia (Withdrawn)
Would it be possible to get temporary admin rights on c:es.tibia even though I don't speak Spanish? I mostly just need import rights, the admins haven't been active since the 29th of august. I want to provide them with some pages the English version have to attract new editors (currently there's 2-3 editors other than me per week). -- Sixorish 07:15, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * An admin came back a while after I posted this but judging his user page protection with no vandalism occurring before, I don't think he is planning to come back (/any time soon) -- Sixorish 02:28, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Nevermind this - I guess this admin is here to stay. I'll see if he can import some pages just as soon as I explain to him he's not putting pages in the namespace intended... ~enslaves translator. -- Sixorish 17:39, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

arvores (Declined)


Estou procurando informações sobre esta árvores. Seria ela uma Cabreuva?
 * No, this is a place to make adoption requests of inactive Wikis; if you are searching informations of trees, see here. Best regards. --Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko ( Talk )  15:41, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

F.E.A.R. wiki (Accepted)
I'd like to adopt the F.E.A.R. wiki thanks, I have been editing there on and off since December 2007, we now have a good community going but are in need of a Admin as the current Admin hasn't been active in a long time. Seven279 08:37, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for having the discussion on the Community Portal -- that shows me you've got good community support! I have given you admin rights -- please have fun!  — Catherine (talk) 05:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Peize Wiki (Accepted)
I would like to adopt Peize Wiki. I am the one who started this wikia some time ago. Although it does not show much editing, the contents is valid and I plan to do more work on it in the future. Harm 12:56, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * You are the founder, which means you already have admin and bureaucrat rights. It's good to see you editing there again -- I look forward to seeing the project grow! — Catherine (talk) 05:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Sliders Wiki (Accepted)
I would like to adopt The Slider Wiki. It seems to be abandoned. I have added many new pages and started to develop templates. It needs more work that only an admin can do and I am willing to do it. I also have experience as an admin at The Sims Wiki -- a_morris 23:23, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi -- it looks like you've been doing a great job for awhile now on this wiki. You should be all set, and good luck!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 19:08, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

The Left Behind Wiki: A Wiki of the Earth's Last Days (Accepted)
Hello All!

I would like to adopt the Left Behind Wiki. I think I qualify for all of the requirements above, but there are a few catches:


 * 1.) There have been two other editors on the wiki helping me, but they have both personally told me that they aren't interested in adopting it (for proof see this page).


 * 2.) I haven't created all twenty of the pages I needed to create, but by the time anyone will get to this I will have already created them.


 * 3.) I haven't fully been on the wiki for two full weeks, but on the ninth of this month it will be exactly two weeks.

I have fully changed the main page. I have not founded a wiki yet. I have not been granted admin rights anywhere. I have never been blocked on any wiki project. I have expanded and fixed a bunch of pages. I have created a welcome template, and it is in the process of getting customized. I have welcomed all new editors. I have answered all questions and comments on my talk page.

I would like to become a bureaucrat if possible, too, if my request is accepted.

Thanks,

Jonathan W. Please sign my guestbook! / My talk page / My user page 19:03, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi -- you don't appear to have edited anything since you left this message, although you had made a nice start on the wiki up until then. It's great that you talked to the other users first!  Please ask again when you have created more content.  -- Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:45, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * How about now...I have done a lot more with the wiki. Plus, today is the ninth!!!! --Jonathan W. Please sign my guestbook! / My talk page / My user page 03:10, 10 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Nice job -- I've given you the admin rights. Please keep up the important work of creating new pages and welcoming new users!  Now you can work on reaching 100 articles and meeting the other criteria for a Wikia Spotlight -- best of luck to you!  — Catherine (talk) 18:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for accepting my requests!! You guys do a great thing here!! --Jonathan W. Please sign my guestbook! / My talk page / My user page 19:08, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Futurama Wiki (Declined)
May I adopt that one please? Visit the circus in this link NOOOWWW!! 22:15, 6 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Toa Makao. I can't find that you've ever made any edits on the Futurama wiki.  It could definitely use some love however!  There's a lot you can do as a regular editor to help it out, and when you meet the criteria on this page for adoption, please ask again.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:49, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

Adopting the X-men Wikia (Denied)
I would like to take over this wikia as I have been a regular on the wikia sites and enjoy reading the sites for their information and adding my own information to help create a better site. I have completed editing on the X-men site already as well as Dr. Who, Ghost in the Shell, Naruto and Final Fantasy. Username- ValkryeCain
 * Hi -- I think it's great you want to work on the Xmen wiki! However you don't meet our criteria for adoption; notably you've only edited for a few days and made 2 new articles.  Please get back to us after you've edited for a couple of weeks and made 20 new articles.  There's a lot you can do for the wiki as a regular editor in the meanwhile!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:04, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Sony wikia (Declined)
I have deep intrest in sony, it's hardware and consoles and would like to adopt the wiki. I may be a new user but I have forgotten my password and have created a new account--Wispa addict 13:05, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * No one has made any edits on http://sony.wikia.com in recent months - please start editing and check back with us when you meet the requirements at the top of this page. Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 18:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Software Wiki (Declined)
Hello, could I adopt the Software Wiki (software.wikia.com). There have been no edits there in the last 30 days (except for me and User Angela), and all the bureaucrats are no longer active. So could I adopt the Software Wiki. I have some big plans for it.  KrazyKat Talk to me! 22:10, 9 November 2008 (UTC)
 * You are very new to that wikia and just have created 2 articles (each with one line in it). Please create 20 articles and request again.--<font color="#4169E1"> BlueDevil <font color="#FF0000">Talk 23:18, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Blue Dragon wiki (Accepting)
I cut this to here because it wasn't answered I'm looking to become a beaureaucrat of the Blue Dragon wiki. It has no active users but me and I'm beginning to work on it. I have been a member of Wookieepedia, Final Fantasy wiki and Kingdom Hearts wiki, am well-versed in wiki formatting. Messia, the wiki's founder, wants it delelted, but I'm more than happy to take over the wiki and build it up properly. So please may I become beaureaucrat?-Super Sephiroth


 * You've done some very nice things for this wiki. Please be sure to keep creating new pages and welcoming new users -- these are the most important things you can do to make your project a success!  — Catherine (talk) 18:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
