Hi Merrystar

I am (or was) the admin of the Heroscape Wiki in good standing. http://heroscape.wikia.com/wiki/Heroscape_wiki_(Main_Page)

I had adopted the largely abandoned wiki in May of 2012 and became the admin. Real life had prevented me from editing or contributing to the Heroscape Wiki as much as I would have liked recently, but I am once again able to edit with more regularity.

However, I logged in today to discover that user "Anselm Durante" had become an admin and has further revoked my own privileges and status as an admin without warning or notification or even a reason given. I realize that you are not an editor of the Heroscape Wiki and therefore are unware that user "Anselm Durante" has a well-documented history as a bit of a rabble-rouser and trouble-maker. He has never risen to the level of being blocked, although he has skirted the line on at least one occasion. He has posted long "rants" in the past and has often attacked other editors who have disagreed with him.

I understand he contacted you under the guise of "adopting" the Heroscape Wiki, in a move analogous with a hostile takeover. I would live to request that you reinstate my own status back on the wiki with equal rights (or greater) then Anselm Durante: bureaucrat, sysop, etc. etc. Unlike Anselm Durante, I am perfectly willing to "share power", but I'm concerned about letting him have sole unrestricted access/control of the wiki. Like I said, I'm willing to work with and cooperate with other admins.

Sorry to drag all this out in front of you. I know that editors can get hyper-sensitive about their wikis and act like its a "life or death" situation, I'm actually far more easy-going then that, but I wanted to make sure that you understood the situation. Feel free to contact me or ask questions.

Thank you.
