Please link to the wiki here: Top Gear Wiki

How many edits have you made on that wiki? 287 article edits in short order, with 430 edits on the Wiki as a whole, and close to 70 new pages created from scratch in that timeframe.

How many days/months have you been editing there? Since March 22nd, so 14 consecutive days as of April 4th.

On the Special Pages → Special:ListAdmins when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? The sole "active" admin was last active on January 13th, over 80 days ago, and appears to be inactive for months at a time, and despite me being the ranked #2 member in just under a month, am still blocked from editing a lot of the newer pages.

Any other information: At one point there were over 5 admins, but the lion's share of that 5 left between 2012 - 2013 and it has just been Mvanterati for the last 5 years. I also contacted Mvanterati on my first day contributing, and have not received an answer with regards to receiving heightened privileges since that message. I sent a corresponding adoption-related reply 3 days later, and nothing came of that. I then made a forum discussion on the 30th in case anyone else lurking the Wiki had the same idea I did, and no responses were given in the week since the thread's creation.

Should I be granted adoption rights, I will remove the aforementioned page locks to better facilitate edits from other users who may visit the Wiki in the future.

I am a very experienced Wikia user, having raised the BattleBots Wiki ([//battlebots.fandom.com/wiki/BattleBots_Wiki-Main_Page https://battlebots.fandom.com/wiki/BattleBots_Wiki-Main_Page]) from virtually nothing back in 2012 and 2013. I feel that I am more than qualified to take over this one.

I also have detailed plans in place to reform a lot of the inconsistent formatting across pages of a similar type, and plan to enforce these to help raise the quality of the Wiki as a whole. I don't feel it right that a show with such a status as Top Gear has been left with a, dare I say it, half-assed attempt at a Wiki.

Thanks very much for your consideration.

Hello! If you keep that forum/blog post open for another couple of days for responses to be on the safe side then you should be good. Your edits are good.


 * Hello. Your contributions look good, and I've given you admin and bureaucrat rights. Good luck with the wiki! JoePlay https://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/joeplayground/images/e/e5/FandomStaff.png (talk)  19:18, April 5, 2019 (UTC)
