Degrassi ban
Hey Im Cheylene from the Degrassi wiki, and I dont get why I wasn't warned first that the content I posted on my profile header was unacceptable. I was hoping my ban could be shortened somehow? I just feel that it's extremley unfair that I was banned for that reason when I had no clue that it was ban worthy material /:

WHAT THE HECK
I have been begging wikia for help on my John Carter wiki for months, I got alot of help. . . I got a spotlight. . . . I even had Johncarter.wikia.com redirect to my wiki. . . I ahve been preparing the wiki for months MONTHS AND MONThS at least a year I think. . . .so what do I find today. . . I find this http://johncarter.wikia.com/wiki/John_Carter_Wiki. . . .my redirect no longer takes me to my wiki. . . . it takes me to a wiki on the exact same subject. . . just instead. . . .a different wiki. . . WHY DOES THIS EXSIST, there was no issues with barsoom.wikia.com. .. . I HAVE THE POSTER OF THE MOVIE ON THE FRONT PAGE WITH A COUNTDOWN TIMER, why the heck would oyu guys do this too me? ralok 03:34, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Multiple wikis on the same subject are allowed. This is not something new.--

Shut up, Ihave been preparing barsoom.wikia.com for the purpose of being the go to place, I wanted the staffs help I repeatedly asked. I even had johncarter.wikia.com REDIRECT TO BARSOOM.WIKIA.COM you dont tell me not to be angry. I would have gladly accepted WIKIAS HELP I WAS BEGGING FOR IT. They stole the redirect without my permission and never EVER EVER EVER EVER even bothered to check with me too see if my wiki was active. ralok 03:47, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

Please be polite and coherent with your messages: Being angry won't get you anywhere. Demise101 04:30, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Now I could argue the philosophy of your statement. But here is teh simple definitive fact, I am angry. Now if they want me to not be angry . . . so we can get somewhere . . . the staff can acknowledge what has happened, maybe even awknowledge it was a mistake . . . or maybe just explain why this happened. Because I am a hundred percent sure that Johncarter.wikia.com used to redirect to a wiki that I maintain . . . they didnt ask me if they could have it. I dont want to argue . . . I just want to know why they felt the need to crate a new wiki on a subject, when I had a 400 page wiki built specifically for the purpose they have . . . written and ready to READY TO FLY and tell all the world about John Carter of mars. I had even worked out systems for handling different adaptions of John Carter of Mars to avoid confusion .. . . there is just . . . no reason for this wiki to exsist other than apearently making me angry . . . I dont want to be angry, in fact Iwant . . . .and I say this with honesty I want wikia to take the wheel for a while . .. help me out, help attract new people to the community. They have alot of good information on their wiki that I dont have yet, and I so desperately want it . . . but I cannot steal from another wiki ralok 04:47, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi ralok. I don't know much about this, but I understand you also left messages for other staff. One of the content team should be getting in touch with you soon :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:05, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Question about blocks
I was blocked by CamileA05 on the degrassi wikia. So i asked her why she blocked me and her reply was "Everyone in the chat was requesting me to do so.I was just doing my job. ♥CamilleA05 04:39, October 9, 2011 (UTC)" She blocked me for a year simply because she was asked by other people to do so. Is this a reasonable reason to block someone, because i've never heard of this before. Satans Little Helper 04:53, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * I was blocked from the wikia main chat because someone else hurt my feelings, so I am pretty sure people can block you for whatever reason. But honestly, I would block you on any of my wikis because your name is profane! You may not consider it so, but the fact is you are making light of a subject many people take seriously adn have a genuine fear too. You might aswell name yourself Holocaust Jim. ralok 11:37, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * LOL, No their is no proof wheather satan existed or not, my name isn't even satans little helper, it's closer 2my dreams. People can take anything seriously, i can take your comment seriously and ask for you to banned for harassment. I'll change my sig when i get polity asked, instead of being judge by a total stranger for something that may not even exist. That signature even comes from the simpsons just so you know Satans Little Helper 18:15, October 9, 2011 (UTC)

you. . . are making light of something people take seriously. If you dont want to be judged then dont do something that will cause people to judge you negatively. I think you fail to understand how people are judged. WE are Judged by our actions, in particular how we treat other human beings. And you are associating yourself with somethign that has a negative stigma attached, that is an action. . . dont expect to not be judged from it. ralok 05:23, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

I don't really care about you're judgements, it's not you're place or my place to argue on sannses page. Converstation ended .Satans Little Helper 06:01, October 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ummm . .. . okay . . .. I have no idea what your problem is, and I never really judged you . . . I just said your name was profane . . . ralok 06:08, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Closer, you have had many warnings, many previous bans, and have continued to cause problems on the wiki and on chat. I warned you on Friday that you were very close to a long-term ban, and comments like this after that warning show that nothing had changed. Please move on from the wiki. If you return with a sockpuppet account, then the ban will be from all of Wikia. -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:26, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

Quick question.
On some of the wikis I manage, my talk pages are quite jam-packed and I've been meaning to archive them. But, how do you create talk page archives? Do you just make a new page and title it User talk:[Your username]\Archive 1, or are they automated? Thank you! --TWISH 16:52, October 9, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, the usual way is just to create the page and copy stuff there. With the new talk pages we are working on, they will automatically "archive" by pagination - but that's not available except on some test wikis so far. Hope that helps -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 18:28, October 10, 2011 (UTC)

 * Hi, we can change a wiki to that on request. Just contact us with a list of wikis and the language you want. We reduced the default list a while ago, because it was very long, but can still set your wikis to the language type you want -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:26, October 13, 2011 (UTC)

Vandal?
We really need to have this kid by the name of Thomas Hozempa blocked. He keeps vandalizing Nickelodeon wikis, took over the Crazymutt Wiki to troll its original owner (I assume), and he makes these pointless Wikias that are incredibly vulgar (nothing way too inappropriate, though). One of them (its ID was adventuretime3) was closed a while back. I've sent 3 reports to Wikia staff.

GojiBob would know a bit about him too, ask him about Thomas if you can. The WonderKat (Talk) 00:14, October 14, 2011 (UTC)

Copyright Images
Hi Sannse, sorry to bother you but I have a bit of a big question to ask you. I need some help with copyrighted images and non-copyrighted images.

At the Mobile Phones Wiki I'm trying to use images from the WikiMedia Commons Wiki when ever I can. My first question is, how do you attribute and license an image from WikiMedia Commons correctly (i.e legally)? (an example of what I've done for one image from the WikiMedia Commons can be seen )

Secondly, how do you attribute and license a copyrighted image? Say an image of the Samsung Galaxy Ace from the Carphone Warehouse website etc... Also would using this kind of image be legal?

I'm really sorry if I'm asking too big of a question, I'm just really worried about breaking the law and possibly recieving law suits and prosecutions for copyright infringement when I didn't intend too. Thanks in advance. :)

Kind regards.

19:00, October 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, what you've done for the Commons image is just fine :) Looks like you have all the details in there.


 * I can't give legal advice of course, but for other images, you are mostly relying on "fair use". This means you can use some images (which may include promotional images) for educational purposes. Fair use is complicated, but it's made simpler in many cases because a phone manufacturer is likely to be pleased rather than upset that you are using one of their promotional images and writing about their product.


 * If they are unhappy about a specific image, what will happen is that they will send us a DMCA notice, and we'll remove the image. That most commonly happens with stock images, artist's drawings, and leaked images (for example, pre-release stuff that hasn't been officially sanctioned).


 * So my advice would be not to worry too much :) just keep using Commons images as much as possible, and be prepared to take down any others that someone is unhappy about. Hope that helps -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:01, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Chat invasions (yeah, again)
This time from the One Piece Wiki.

Quick facts - about 10 users from that wiki came to troll the My Little Pony wiki's chat, usernames are as follows:


 * Monkey_D._Madness
 * Monkey.D.Me
 * Pandawarrior
 * Imhungry4444
 * The Humanoid Typhoon
 * WillofOP
 * Ricizubi
 * Swimswimfruit
 * X-RAPTOR (Under the not-so-subtle alias "Z-RAPTOR")
 * Marcus_Junior

As far as I am aware, and as far as my common sense tells me, there was absolutely no provocation from the MLP wiki for this.

Screencaps:


 * Monkey.D.Me encouraging others to troll, taken from their chat
 * Monkey.D.Me encouraging others to troll the CoD wiki
 * Monkey.D.Me turned out to be a racist
 * Marcus Junior posting pornographic images
 * The Humanoid Typhoon purposely disobeying the no-cussing guideline of the chat
 * The Humanoid Typhoon explicitly stating that they were attempting an invasion
 * Larger view of their plans to attack the CoD wiki

Please can you do something about this - considering that one of them even tried to invade more than one other wiki, I think maybe some sort of global block could be in order here? I'm sorry if I'm asking too much but I'm sure you agree with me that this sort of behaviour is totally unacceptable.

If you would like any further details please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you. --Callofduty4 21:42, October 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi, I've left a message with one of their admins, pointing out that this sort of thing is very bad for the wiki's reputation. Hopefully he will have a word with the community.


 * Generally, we're in a difficult place at the moment, screenshots provide very little context, and we don't have logs yet. That makes it tricky for us to fully see and react to what's happening (unless we happen to be in the channel at the right time!). Hopefully that will improve in future versions of chat, and it will be easier to see what happened, and to give out bans as needed -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 00:22, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * As an editor of the One Piece Wiki, I have to say, in our defense, we're not always like this. In fact, we're never like this. One of them (not saying his name) have said that they wanted to troll other Wikis, but I never thought he'd go this far. I must ask not to remove our chat, as our chat moderators were not there at the time so they had no control of this. I believe a couple of the users Callofduty4 listed had no part in this vandal, but were just there. I was one of the people that were just there, but I told him (Callofduty4) that I had no part in trolling their chat, and not all of use are like that.
 * I'm just saying: Please don't remove our chat function or anything. The chat moderators and admins are quite angry with this as well. Let's hope this will never happen again.
 * Thank you. :) Uknownada 02:48, October 18, 2011 (UTC)


 * I am one of the members that invaded the chat that day,and i have realised it was a mistake.We,for no apparent reasons,wanted to trol this wiki,and it didnt turn out that great.I really dont know what the punishment(if there will be one is) will be,but i have two things to say.First, callofduty4 placed many names in the list,even though they certainly didnt go to the CoD chat,but were only happening to be one the OP wiki chat at the time.Some of them are Ricizubi and Pandawarior.That leaves us with 8 mebers that invaded the other chat.Now for my second request,i ask you not to remove the chat function,because it wouldnt be so nice to punish more than 30 persons for the sake of 8 persons that trolled once,and have regreted it
 * That is all i have to say,and i hope i have chaabged your mind even a bit
 * Sorry for the trolls CoC wiki-Swimswimfruit 8:53,2011 (UTC)


 * In My defense i have to say this i was not the one who posted phonographic pictures, nor did I did somethign to bad, i actually tried to civilaze with them as i tried to talk with an overly polite manner to make them gigle, but in the end i had to do my mission of troll them but i warned and they had a chice cause i posted an youtube link, the youtbe link contained a game of some sorts that created a flash model of the queen of the MLP franchise Lady Equestria. But before i ever posted the link i explicitily told them that i was gonna post an ofensive link, so they had a choice not to look, and i even asked them to ban me cause i understood what i was doing was wrong, everyone in that chat is withness of this, and call of suty must have confound me with someone else. But I'm not saying i arent guilty i acept any sort of punishment i may have to embrace.
 * MJ  AHEM what do you want?    7:06 18/Oct/2011 (UTC) 07:06, October 18, 2011 (UTC) :D

Hi, another person from the One Piece wikia here. First off, I'd like to apologize to everyone offended and annoyed by the immature behaviour some of our wikia members have shown. Nevertheless, the people involved did cross the line and they should be punished according to further investigation. I don't if this is possible but I'd like them to personally be blocked from other wikia's except the One Piece Wikia, the Ship of Fools wikia, the Ryu's Daily wikia and the One Piece War, as these would wikia are under the One Piece wikia's jurisdiction so to say and should be left open for every One Piece fanatic, even the trollers active on the chats of My Little Pony and Call of Duty. Sincerely, Yountoryuu (PS: I'm not one of the chat-invaders). (PPS: These trollers are definitely being told off on the wikia).


 * Hey all. I'm not removing chat... that was an example of what might need to be done if a situation like this gets out of hand, but I see this was a single incident and that everyone involved is clear that it's bad for the wiki's reputation and shouldn't happen again :)
 * Thanks to everyone for replying, and thanks to the One Piece admins and chat mods for letting everyone know that cross-wiki trolling isn't something that they condone. Let's call this one closed now -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  16:25, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Some Issues
Hi Sannse. I'd like to report some issues that have been going on in central chat. It's quite sickening and one of the admins here in central allows it and encourages it. I have an image if you'd like to see. I prefer sending it over email if you don't mind. Please let me know what can be done.


 * Tech, let's be honest here, you are not in any way innocent. You go to each wiki Jazzi goes to and you bad mouth her. You bad mouth her on wikis she doesn't even go to. You say she goes to wikis and takes control. You have never once owned up to the fact that your behavior is unacceptable. This all started because of your demotion and subsequent block on Pokemon Wiki. You were demoted for misuse of your power. Rather than asking what you did wrong, you immediately went and tried to get Jazzi demoted too. Crimson then blocked you, yes, Crimson, not Jazzi. I was in chat during the time in which Crimson decided it would be best to block you, it was his decision. Jazzi did not say a word. You now continue to follow Jazzi around to different wikis just to tell everyone how much you hate her. Most recently you badmouthed her on Mario Wiki to one of the other admins there. These actions are not acceptable. I told you to back off, you have not. Say what you will about Jazzi, but she has been the one to remain civil during this. Yes, she says bad things about you sometimes but only amongst friends who already know her opinion of you. She does not go to your wikis and say how much she hates you. Once again, I ask that you back down, go to your wiki and forget that Jazzi exists.--


 * I don't go to every wiki and bad mouth her, I just explained to Mario Wiki that she likes to uniform wikis and she doesn't have a good behavior. Now if you have an issue with me, don't start problems on this talk page, figure out somewhere else to tell me something.


 * All that needs to be said. In addition to this, there's also this. –  Jä zz  i  21:11, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Sannse, contact me on another wiki or via email if needed so we aren't rudely interrupted by anymore people. There's obviously no way of having a civil discussion here, so I think email would be the best.


 * No, you know what Tech. This is being solved once and for all. And this will be solved here. The only one being rude is you, you've been rude since the start of this. I've tried calmly confronting you, but you always turn it into this uncivil war. I'm sick of it. So either realize that what you're doing is wrong and decide to be more mature about this, or you can continue being an immature child. Because quite frankly, I've had it with this after I opposed your demotion request because I just wanted all the damn bickering to end. It clearly hasn't. So grow up. You were banned and desysoped for a reason. Now stop acting like a child. –  Jä zz  i  21:21, October 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Read above for a perfect example of being rudely interrupted Sannse.


 * Despite what you may think, talk pages can be responded to by anyone. Imagine going into an open room and talking about someone else in that room. They have a right to voice their opinion over the matter. If you wanted this to stay out of the public eye, you should have sent your issues to Special:Contact and waited for a reply. Rappy 21:36, October 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Rappy - Thanks, I already sent an email. I could honestly type how all of most if this false information, but it would so much, I'd rather save it for an email.


 * You should have just left it at that then. Rappy 21:42, October 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Allow me to say my side of the story. Jazzi is correct, we had no part in his blockage, Crimsonnavy blocked him, and he is now going to random wikis, specifically the Sonic Wiki, and Mario Wiki, and badmouthing us for no reason. This cross-wiki stalking has to end. He has also left me insulting messages on Pokemon Wiki and Imagination X Wiki. Sannse, we need this to end, and now. --  B u l  l  ε  t    (No vandals)   ( Don't be A Jerk ) 21:37, October 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have sent multiple emails, they always say the same thing "We told Tech to back off", and "Talk to your local admins", and we did nothing wrong to Tech, he is threatning our wellbeing at the wikis we go to, and badmouths us, and makes us look bas, Godisme told him to back off twice. This needs to end.  B u l  l  ε  t    (No vandals)   ( Don't be A Jerk ) 21:43, October 17, 2011 (UTC)

Three edit-conflicts later....

OK, that's enough for now please. I'm aware of the situation, and will look at the latest as soon as possible. Technology Wizard, please drop it for now, and keep away from all the others involved (that includes not replying on this page for now).

Update: I have emailed Technology Wizard and asked him again to keep away from Jazzi, Bullet Francisco, and anyone else involved in this dispute. That includes writing about them (the trigger for this latest flare it seems)

Bullet Francisco, I also ask you not to react to Technology Wizard - I see that you got involved when he wrote about Jazzi and that was part of where this got heated.

Jazzi, it looks like you kept out of this until it hit Central, thank you. Please keep doing that, and let me know of any further problems.

If anyone needs to discuss any of this further, please contact me rather than doing so here. Thank you -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog)  01:21, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

Hello
Hello Miss/Mrs. Sannse! I created a Wiki, http://potcoplayerseitcroyalty.wikia.com I tried to add some of my user righs I did not have, but accidently removed them. Can you add them back? Of a total, I need Bur, Admin, Chat Mod, and Rollback. There was a vandal, this Matthew Ironvane guy who does not like me on other Wiki's. He erased the home page and spammed it saying I am a failure. I re-made it and protected it. I would appreciate if you would please tell him to stop. I blocked the user for 3 months, because he broke a Rule stating not to edit the homepage. I will lower it to a 1 month because i believe 3 is too much. I would appreciate if you would fulfill these minor requests. I tried asking DaNASCAT, but I believe he is on a temporary inactivity. I thank you for your time, and have a wonderful evening!!!

 * Staff do not get to their talk pages as often as normal users do. Please send a message to Special:Contact. And so you know, the admin right includes both chat mod and rollback. You do not need to have those in addition to admin.--

Sockpuppetry
Hi Sannse. I noticed your message on Kaz's talk page. I was wondering if I could join the conversation regarding the sockpuppets on our wiki. After all, I requested a lot of check users. Let me know, thanks.

(replied elsewhere)

Hi.
You have not been at the Degrassi Wikia for a while and some things have happened lately. Do you remember Closer 2my Dreams? He was banned for a year. Well he broke his ban and created a new account call 'Gary Turner'. And now he is back on the wikia still doing the same old, same old. He called one user a name and another user gay. (I have screenshots) My problem is, if we cannot keep him banned, we could at least keep him from chat, where most users socialize. Everytime he gets on chat, we ban him! Is that a good solution? I am not the only one who wants him gone. A LOT of users want him gone because he terrorizes them. Also, I have been following your advice (: Everytime he tries to start drama with me, I always say,"I am not reacting to you!" Thanks for the tip (:

So what do you think? If we can't block his IPs, can we at least keep him from chat? Reply ASAP please!

Drayden Montana come follow me 04:20, October 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * A staff set rangeblock would probably work best in this case. Requests like these need to go through Special:Contact though. Also, in the meantime, instead of saying "I am not reacting to you", simply do not react. Don't say anything and pretend he is not there. He will get bored then and move on. Saying you are not reacting to him is still reacting.--

 * I'm still doing cloaks at the moment... but I need people to contact me on IRC - and I'm not very often on there, so that may be tricky. It's worth checking to see if I'm online, I may not be in any public channels -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  01:15, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Block
Hi, I've been editing on Wookieepedia since April. I'm an expert at HTML and MediaWiki so I was fixing up some problems there. However I have also been editing at the Star Wars Battlefront Wiki. Wookieepedia has been permenantly annoying the smaller Star Wars Wikis, claiming ownership over Star Wars on Wikia. Recently several of the users on the Battlefront Wiki compiled a letter explaining why they would like to become independent from Wookieepedia. Now I have found that I have been blocked by User:Darth Culator for 'Personal Attacks' and 'Disruption'. This is very unfair for somebody who is making an effort to help out at the Wiki. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help. Thanks, Sam2011(Talk) 09:30, October 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Sam. I'm afraid I can't help with the block, admins on individual wikis can block for any reason they and their community feel appropriate. It's very rare for staff to intervene, even if we don't agree with blocks. Sorry -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 01:32, October 31, 2011 (UTC)


 * This is just one administrator who has blocked me, not allowing me to contest the block, asked any other sysops and not even warning me first. Sam2011 (Talk) 16:32, November 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Wookieepedia administrators do not need to consult other administrators before blocking users. And you are in fact contesting your block on his talk page at this very moment. You really don't need a warning for editing someone else's comments&mdash;that's common sense. 1358  <sup style="color:#336600;">(Talk)  16:37, November 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I have tried everything, and the Wookieepedia administrators have taken to the really mature option of just ignoring me. I have left numerous messages on talk pages and all of the users I contacted are yet to reply. I cannot do anything to get them to reply, so I'm a bit stuck. Sam2011 17:51, November 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, like you said, you're stuck. Staff will not intervene in local issues. Rappy 20:39, November 8, 2011 (UTC)

Costs / opportunities involved in a wiki going totally advert free
Hi Sannse, I think you might have sent me a message about this in the past. I'm interested in investigating any opportunities that might help the Sustainable Community Action wiki become totally advert free, however long that might take, so that we can begin to approach a position where we can have sufficient influence over how hosting is funded, for ethical reasons. Sca has always been, and is a wiki (and community) that aims to be of civic (rather than only social) value. This isn't about specifics, or reopening any old (and perhaps tired) discussion, it's really just about ethics. Because of what sca is about, without something like that, attracting new contributors to the wiki can often feel like trying to run with a concrete block tied to your leg. Maybe it can be done, and I aim to keep trying, but I can't help but feel that it's the ethical inconsistencies bewteen what sca aims to be about and the actuality of having no effective influence over how the hosting is funded that's the decisive factor in putting off potential joiners.

Is there a page showing what costs might be involved if a wiki wanted to investigate going totally advert free? I recently saw some information about a partnership that involves ethical energy suppliers (in the UK) rewarding communities who('s "members" then) sign up to them via a community website. Can you see any way that something like this might be used to contribute to hosting costs, or is it one of those catch 22 situations where a wiki would only be able to benefit from something like this if it were already paying to be totally advert free (the only current reason for sca to investigate funding is to become totally advert free or find some other way to crack the ethics thing). Hope I've explained the challenge I feel we face clearly enough, even if it doesn't yet seem to have an answer, but many thanks in advance for any advice you might be able to give. Cheers, Philralph 17:01, October 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi Philralph, the page you are looking for is at Ad free wikis. Sustainable Community Action wiki is elligable, so you are welcome to sign up. I don't know anything about getting funding from elsewhere to help with the costs though, maybe it's worth contacting some organizations to ask? If you have other questions, the quickest way to find me is via the contact form. If you put my name in the mail, it will be given to me :) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 01:50, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Voting for new +F on Forum:New IRC channel
'lo Sannse. I am not being allowed to vote in the +F decision for the new wikia channel - I'd like to protest this. This is a new channel, and so I don't understand why this vote is being controlled by the ops of the previous channel. I see no good reason why I shouldn't be allowed to vote, especially since the admin who removed my vote has a conflict of interest (I opposed him, and his action reinforced why I voted that way).

I thought that you had made it pretty clear that this channel is unofficial, and not under control of #wikia ops. Maybe I was mistaken in thinking this. Regards, 04:13, October 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Similar to Ajr, it bemuses me somewhat that the discussion is using the deeply subjective term "#wikia regular" to disallow community members from voting. I don't really agree with using this limiting definition, given that many of us lurk or simply don't talk on #wikia all that much because of previous less-than-satisfying experiences. I want to avoid using the word "cabal", but on days like this, I find it hard. For now, I'll just say it is a golden opportunity to turn over a new leaf on how Wikia contributors treat each other being wasted. I appreciate that you probably will not want to intervene in this case, however. The 888th Avatar   (talk)  04:33, October 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Except Avatar, if Wikia Staff act upon the results, they will have “certified” the vote. As you say, it is absurd that votes are being removed, that people are being blocked from voting because they do not fit an arbitrary definition of “regular”, and that the vote is being run by a group seemingly focussed on perpetuating itself, and limiting membership in the OPs corp of the new channel. I am concerned that such focus sidelines the idea of global representation among the OPs corps so that someone is around to deal with issues at all times in a 24-hour period. Moreover, this approach has a chilling effect and drives people way from participating in the ##wikia process fearing that their votes will be deleted because they do not satisfy some nebulous definition of “regulars”. — <font color="#DC143C" face="Garamond" size="3">Spike <font color="#000000" face="Garamond" size="3">Toronto  04:42, October 30, 2011 (UTC)

Sadly, while taking to heart and heeding your comments for a few days, current #wikia ops and their supporters have resorted once again to removing the votes of people they do not consider “eligible” to vote.

Requesting an IP Check
There's a bit of suspicion on our wiki about a user to may or may not have a sockpuppet floating around. This user is blocked, and their supposed sockpuppet is not. We require an IP check to see if this user really is a sockpuppet of the blocked user.

http://totaldramaisland.wikia.com/wiki/User:Icekid1994 -- The blocked user.

http://totaldramaisland.wikia.com/wiki/User:Offcampusstudent1993 -- The supposed sockpuppet.

Could you do an IP check to see if these two users' IPs match? Thank you, and leave the results on my talkpage.  TDA15  talks and  edits 04:55, October 31, 2011 (UTC)

Can you revert a deletion?
Can you revert a deletion by a user who appears to be a member here for no other reason than to delete or move other peoples recipes according to her own personal taste rather than the value of the recipes to others? Since I am not paid to post recipes here the benefit I derive for doing so is the ability to point students and others here when a recipe provides a solution for a particular need. I can post on my own site and refer my students there but that would prevent others here from knowing about recipes created specifically by computer to be healthy. Please let me know if you can revert the deletion of a recipe I make referrals to all of the time because it demonstrates for my students the need to handle extremes in addition to the middle. Thanks. --imho 07:06, November 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * Staff do not intervene in local matters except under extenuating circumstances. You'll have to take it up with local admins.


 * The vandal is a "local" administrator if you are referring to healthyrecipes,wikia.com as "local." I have asked the "local" administrator who performed the deletion to revert it but she has refused to comply saying that the recipe is not healthy when in fact it was formulated by computer to match measured expended calories and be within the minimum and maximum required macronutrient (fat, carbohydrate and protein) values. --imho 15:29, November 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * That's a decision for the admin and their community. You may want to look at other recipes wikis for an alternative -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  21:40, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Admin
Hi, Sannse! I've got a request for you.

I know we just got a new admin on Degrassi Wiki, but I really think we should remove ~holiday's admin rights and put Caoil in her spot.

I think he is very much qualified for this role. He made our wiki's emoticons, he is a great help with coding and templates, he is dedicated, and is an amazing admin. He's probably the most qualified person for the position- he also has no sockpuppet accounts, and that I know of, he has never been banned.

Another reason he should be given this is because he is definitely not biased; he has banned his own friends before. He cares a great deal about our wiki and as I said, is dedicated.

If you accept this offer, that would be great! :) However, if you decline, I respect the decision.

Thank you for reading and understanding! <font color=" #00FF00 ">Tayler(: A lonely speaker in a conversation. ♬ 23:43, November 2, 2011 (UTC)


 * We need to revisit admin accounts there again, but let's give it a little longer. Things are feeling more settled, so hopefully we can add another person soon (and possible a b'crat in the not to distant future, if there aren't so many sockpuppet problems!) -- sannse http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png  (help forum | blog)  21:49, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Sannse! How are you? The Degrassi Wiki is slowly getting better. Myself and a couple of users are trying to change the wiki. . you know, make it more clean and appropriate and stopping the sockpuppeting!

We replied to the address that was on the form, but it sounds like that didn't get though to you. I think the best thing is for me to ask Sarah to contact you on your wiki on Monday.
