I'm not sure why we were removed from the 'approved' list here. Yes, our request was posted in December, and while I have been in contact with Scarecroe, our request has yet to be fulfilled, or even started for that matter, after approximately 2-3 months now. So, given that, shouldn't we still be in the 'approved' list? I don't want to be forgotten. -- LordTBT Talk! 17:55, March 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I just wanted to now note that it has been three (3) months since my request, and it has not been fulfilled, and I was told that after 1 month of waiting originally, I had waited too long. -- LordTBT  Talk! 00:00, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * I know (having recently visited your wiki) and I pinged the content team about it even before I saw your message here. They do appreciate your patience.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:46, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

Deadliest Fiction Wiki
Hello, I am Omnicube1 and I help run the Deadliest Fiction Wiki. The majority of the wiki approves of creating and adding a new skin and redesigning our homepage. We currently have 550 pages (as of 1/13/11) and I am a bureaucrat at the wiki. I am willing to unprotect the Main Page for your edits. Thank you for your help. Omnicube1 23:27, January 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. The Deadliest Fiction Wiki looks pretty good. As you already mentioned, we'd need you to drop the protection on your mainpage (in fact the only vandalism was by an IP; protection against edits by new and unregistered users would prevent that; no particular need to have it sysop protected anyhow based on the history). Also you have some uncategorized pages that need to be taken care of. Let me know when you've done those things and I'll be happy to add you to the list for help. -- Wendy (talk ) 05:47, January 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Done Omnicube1 18:19, January 23, 2011 (UTC)


 * Great. I've added you to the list for help. -- Wendy (talk ) 00:36, January 24, 2011 (UTC)

Gran Turismo Wiki
Hey guys, we need a serious content boost; we're looking for over 1k pages by the end of the year. I think we fall within all the criteria; of our 391 pages, only 45 are stubs. The main page has been semiprotected due to repeat vandalism and blanking, and as far as I can tell, every page has a category. We do use the Wikia Welcome tool, and we are not in the middle of any upheavals (and when one does occur, which is not often, it is dealt with swiftly and efficiently). -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 15:35, January 24, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I appreciate that you took the time to check for the criteria before making your request!  Unfortunately this is not a page to ask for help building content.  It's a page to ask for help with search engine optimization, main page design, or skin design.  If you are interested in help with any of the latter please let us know.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:25, February 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Oh. Well, in that case, there is something that we need done. On certain computers, such as my new one, the background image won't load. O have no idea why, but I was wondering if someone could check the CSS and see if they could fix it. -- Gp 75 motorsports REV LIMITER GT-PT/GT-EN/CSW 02:49, February 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry I didn't see your question sooner and I have replied on your talk page. -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:55, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

DKWiki and RareWiki
I would like a makeover to the site to make it get more attention because that place is low on contributors :/ and I want more attention there.


 * For RareWiki you would need to lower the protection on the main page, make sure all the pages are categorized, and customize the community corner on the wiki activity page.  For DKWiki, you are not the admin, so the request would need to come from an admin there, and I cannot approve the request right now.  Let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of the various issues on RareWiki.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:48, February 27, 2011 (UTC)

Band of Brothers wiki
How do I make that logo thing that appears on the top of my wiki. Like, it has a Band of Brothers logo with the word "wiki" underneath. Also, how do I add another Band of Brothers thing for the background, since it only uses colors. Could you please somewhow change the wiki logo, background and skin please? Then can I have my wiki spotlighted?AnyGuy 16:19, February 17, 2011 (UTC)

Okay I made a wiki logo, so can I spotlight my wiki now?AnyGuy 20:40, February 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi. You need to meet all of the criteria for having your wiki helped by the content team and/or a spotlight; right now you need to focus on building your wiki content as you do not have enough content pages for these requests.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 02:48, March 31, 2011 (UTC)

James Cameron's Titanic Wiki
Hi! I am the creator of this Wiki and also an administrator. Now, I am not currently looking for administrators, but I have just requested that my newest user is granted the right of administrator on my website. Also, we currently only have 30 pages, but there is no way we can make 250 pages out of one movie. There isn't enough information to make it into a 250-page-or-more Wiki. But we still need help. We need a really cool skin and an awesome logo. We also need help gaining users. Now, I understand you may not be able to grant this request because of some of its failures in categories such as the 250 page or more thing, but we need desperate help attracting more people to the Wiki and think one of the best ways is getting an awesome skin and a cool logo. Can you help us out?
