I can't log on
Help me! I have just created an account here but it won't let me start a new Wiki, it wants me to verify my E-Mail address first, but it hasn't sent a message despite requesting many verification e-mails. What can I do? Me-Is-Malaysian 06:50, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm, sounds very nasty indeed. But as it's said on preferences page, "E-mail (optional): Enables others to contact you through your user or user talk page without needing to reveal your identity." so you can log in and edit without it, but you do need an e-mail for requesting a wiki, because your wiki is given a mailing list and the staff makes you, the requester, also the admin of the mailing list. But I'd suggest that you go and create a new e-mail account, like on Gmail and add that to your preferences. Other than that, I'm afraid there's nothing I can do. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 06:54, 9 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hi Jack! Question:If you delete my redirect to (User:Emily)from the request wikia, would it be possible for me to recreate a new account User:Emily? --Adela 18:54, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I can't delete it on requests as I'd need at least sysop powers for that, but you can ask a local admin or a staff member to do it. Anyway, you can create the new account even if that userpage exists. But I see no reason to create another account, that account name is very nice in my opinion. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 20:06, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I agree with you, anyway the name doesn't matter, but please take a look here: http://beekeeping.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Recentchanges --Adela 20:35, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Hmm, so is User:Emily your account or...do you want to adopt the wiki? --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 21:08, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * User:Emily was just a redirect that I made. Because of that redirect I cannot create User:Emily, because I get the message: Username is already in use. And about the wiki: it's brand new, Angela made it lately. --Adela 21:28, 14 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Redirects do not prevent you from creating an account, but username Emily is already taken by another user, sorry about that. Thanks to Datrio for clarification. --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 12:55, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Ok, in order to shorten the discussion and to solve the major problem, please do one thing for me. Write a message to a staff mebber and tell him or her to change the group membership for User:Adela from (none) to sysop, bureaucrat at the beekeeping wiki. I will also change the name entered on the request page (Adela instead of Emily) to avoid other problems. Thank you for being so helpful on this wiki! Greetings, --Adela 14:54, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * I've made this change, and fixed the problem of the wrong email address being set for the mailing list -- Sannse 16:31, 15 May 2007 (UTC)


 * That's great, thanks a lot for you help, Sannse. :) --Jack Phoenix (Contact) 17:30, 15 May 2007 (UTC)
