Adopt Wikitroid
Hi Angela. I am requesting to adopt Wikitroid, the Metroid wiki. There's three admins, though two haven't edited since 2005 and the third last edited in December 2006. The wiki is also not very active. Based on the WikiStats, there's about eight active users, though most have made > 10 edits. I just found the wiki recently and would like to adopt it and improve it. I've already set up help pages, project pages, templates, forums, and other things. So leave me a message on my talk page on Wikitroid after you've decided on this. Thanks.--Richard1990 talkedits 19:00, 10 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanks very much Angela!--Richard1990 talkedits 19:25, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

Why you have destroyed wiki-project Scientific Chronology?
All categories and lists of articles are removed, due to your connivance to hooligans from Ru-Wiki.-- A. Verevkin

The images are destroyed too: The spoiled personnel.-- A. Verevkin
 * Just russian names for all special namespaces (category:, image:, special:) not worked.. And Верёвкин make attack Main page  --exlex 22:47, 12 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I've sent A. Verevkin an email about this, but I don't quite understand what the problem is. Is this related to the fact I unblocked some users on this wiki, or is there a technical problem that needs fixing? Angela (talk) 23:18, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 * this is related technical problem, but he says that it attack from Russian Wikipedia --exlex 01:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Angela, Russian wikis totally broken. Doesn't work categories, templates and images. What is the matter? --Asp 14:47, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I second that there're problems (on several Russian Wikias) that need to be fixed somewhere in the central part, but as of now you can overcome them with using English names ("Category:..." instead of "Категория:...", etc). --Radaghast 15:02, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Work of a resource is restored. Thank for attention. А.Б.Верёвкин 19:05, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

ru.rpg adoption
Dear Angela! You might remember me as an admin of D&D Wikia which I adopted in December last year (probably not, but a reminder like that never hurts ;) ). Since that time I've been not a daily active, but a dedicated Wikian nevertheless, contributing to not only D&D Wikia, but also to some others, and not only in the area of editing (for example, the Dragon Ball Wikia logo was drawn by me). The point is, I decided to adopt another Wikia: the RU.RPG one. As you can see from the edit history, it has been founded in November 2006 and did not have even one edit since then (before me): the founder did not make his own user page, let alone the main page of the wiki. Needless to say, it was competely empty and deserted when I stumbled upon it. It was me who put it for adoption on the 5th of July, but after talking to a couple of friends the next day we decided to try to run it ourselves. Following the adoption rules, I've edited it for a week. There are 13 pages now, several templates, categories, and we are discussing the logo (all gaming wikis have a dice for a logo, so it's hard to come up with something original).

I am a member of an already existing Russian-speaking role-playing discussion community with 16779 forum users, of which I am the fourth most active. Of course, not all of them will contribute, but some of them will if I encourage them well enough ;) A group of people there are already consistently contributing to the Russian Wikipedia, but you know how hard it is to do it in an all-purpose wiki as opposed to a topic-driven one (for example, they were allowed to create only one "Terms used in RPG" page with a short list, while I see this to be a huge category of articles). I hope to invite them to the RPG Wikia, and the content they made at WP can certainly be used as a starting point. Also there is a RPG-related Russian wiki on a different website with the lack of active users, user-friendly engine, good hosting, etc. I'll try to convince them to merge our projects (not sure that'll work out, though). There are also some people interested in the theory of RPG, and they simply don't have any place do go if they want to write about it in Russian--I guess it would be relatively easy to get them. Besides that, I run several smaller wikis (on PBwiki, WikiDot, localhost, etc) with approx.500 articles total--when license status permits, I'll move their content to the Russian RPG Wikia and encourage other people to do the same.

Those are the plans. If you like it, please make me an admin and a bureaucrat there. Cheers, Radaghast 14:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Hello
Hello Angela. We have a sockpuppeting problem at the Transformers Fanon Wiki, where we think that ItsWalky and Rotty are the same people. The ItsWalky denies he is Rotty, but we are still suspicious. Can you use CheckUser to see? Our evidence is as follows:
 * Rotty has 2 contribs which are both on the FA Nomination page.
 * The FA Nomination he voted on was ItsWalky's
 * He did not do anything else on the entire site
 * His vote was a minute after ItsWalky's
 * They are the only two people voting for it
 * Thank you for your time Angela. We already tried to use CheckUser, but it said only staff could use it. Thanks.&mdash; Darthtyler Talk 15:41, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * We'd prefer it if you left a message on our wiki, if that isn't any trouble. General Grhamtalk 16:14, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

Requesting Adminship of "Monster Hunter Wiki"
Hi Angela! The current admin over at the Monster Hunter Wiki is DeathSlayer, but he's been inactive for about a month. I know he's not interested because I contacted him on AIM, and he told me so.

When he joined, he only made one page, which I still fixed up. When I joined, in about 3 days I had already made about 50-60 articles.

I'm the only person so far consistently contributing. If you'd make me an admin for me, it'd be a great help to further progress the wiki. Thanks for your time! PitchBlack696 11:33, 14 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Thank you! PitchBlack696 19:00, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thats strange
When i log in and click go on the search for User:Angela, it comes up with no matches. but if i search User: Angela it does, but sends me to ur userpage which is written User:Angela so basicaly i'm confused with the use of Spaces. F


 * There's a bug we're aware of that causes problems when searching for anything with a colon in it. Angela (talk) 18:27, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Logo and Background Color
Hey Angela, back again.

1) Does the logo HAVE to be .png? 'Cause I already made a logo, I just dont know how to actually put it up. Here's the link to the logo: http://monsterhunter.wikia.com/wiki/Image:MonsterHunter.jpg

2) After an hour of trying to configure the background color and still failing, now I come for help.

What I'm aiming for is:


 * Background Color: "wheat"
 * Labels: A darker brown than wheat, but still able to comfortably see the black text.
 * Normal Links: Brown
 * Wanted/Empty Links: Still red.
 * Regular Text: Still black.

3) And just a question, for changes to show on the entire site, you would have to put the code in the monobook right? Sorry for asking for so much, but I'd really appreciate it. PitchBlack696 18:58, 15 July 2007 (UTC)

Thanks, Angela! It looks great. But can you make it a little horizontally smaller so it can line up with the line? It's unpleasing to have it go over the line like that. I tried to do it myself to save time for you, but couldnt. PitchBlack696 23:53, 15 July 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm not completely sure what you mean by that, but sure, try it. I just don't like how your eye notices the line going up into the picture like that. PitchBlack696 00:04, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
