Community Central:Adoption requests

Sabrinia, the Teenage Witch (On hold)
I have one last request. I would like to adopt the Sabrina the Teenage Witch wiki. It seems to have been desserted for the past month, or longer. Elbutler 19:19, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Elbutler. See the guidelines above.  You need to have contributed for 2 weeks, welcomed other users, and added 20 new articles; so far you've only contributed 1 day on this wiki.  I think it's great that you want to find a new wiki to work on, but you can do almost everything you need to get this wiki going without being an admin. Once you've contributed more we'll be happy to look at your request again. -- Wendy  (talk ) 18:53, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Bakugan Fanon Wiki (On hold)
I would like to be a sysop on this wiki. I have been making helpful templates on the wiki, and so, i can do other things too while being a sysop.Digisapien 21:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)


 * You're off to a nice start, Digisapien. Please check back in a week or so after you've created some more pages, and we'll be happy to provide you with the admin tools.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk)

Open Source (On hold)
There are countless sources out there for free source code, and this wiki is now inactive -- no wonder, there is little interest in another. Instead, I would like to use opensource.wikia.com to become a common knowledge base among open source communities. We all clearly have common problem as the recent GSoC mentor summit showed and yet the communication between us is really low.


 * I see you made some edits for a few days, but haven't been back. Have you lost interest in this project?  — Catherine (talk) 05:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Teen Titans again (On hold)
(from User Talk:Merrystar) Hello Merrystar, a short while ago I requested to adopt the TT Wiki but you said I needed to make more contributions, and I have so can I adopt it now? If not could you at least block User:Simon10? He keeps messing up the Kitten page no matter how many times someone edits it! So please if not the adminship could you at least do something about him please?

 * Hi. I took care of the problem user for you.  You've done a great job over the past few weeks on the wiki adding content -- I'm impressed!  I see that there are now a few other users which changes things a little.  Could you please welcome them on their talk pages, and make a template to welcome any further contributors (per the guidelines on this page).  And then set up a page in either the Forum or the Community Portal (or wherever you want) saying that you want to adopt the wiki, and inviting comments.  I can help with a sitenotice to make sure people know about it.  If you want to see an example, go to admins on Charmed Wiki to see how it works.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Courage (On hold)
Hi. I would like to adopt the Courage wiki. It's inactive, and I've been making lots of edits, and creating several pages.Super grit 23:36, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Super grit. You're doing a nice job on the wiki.  It appears that the founder made an edit on the wiki about a week ago.  Could you please ask him about becoming a sysop?  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Combat Arms Wiki (On hold)
I sent an e-mail request for this to KyleH. I'm incredibly active on it and work extremely hard. Please and thank you. I would like to become an admin as I have done more edits than anyone to this wiki. I janitor it, visit daily, make templates and updates, and would appreciate acceptance. Coraircate 22:58, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Coraircate! I'm afraid that I didn't receive your email, but nonetheless, it looks like you've been doing really good work on the wiki.  That said, there are several other contributors who should have a say in who becomes an admin.  I have posted a sitenotice on the wiki to give people an opportunity to voice their opinions.  Once that has been up for a few days, post a note back here and we can proceed with whatever you guys decide.  --KyleH (talk) 01:17, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

I wanna adopt the CAW Wikia (On hold)
I've been asking for months to adopt the CAW Wikia, and STILL nothing. There are countless number of vandalism, and I can't do much of anything. If I adopt the CAW Wikia, I can stop it. XtremeTony 05:03, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

CAW Wikia Adoption
As an impartial party,

I am sick of seeing CAW's Wikia being vandalised. There are people who have CAWs and CAW leagues that work hard on their profiles as they do on their leagues.

Now take it for what you will but we either need someone who's always going to remain neutral and nip trouble in the bud or institute a new rule for the Wikias where ONLY people who have signed up can edit pages. I wish I could say I'm qualified for it but there is no qualification for it.....Give someone the job and see what they can do. That's all I have to say.

BlackProductions2k7 05:18, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm willing to adopt the CAW Wikia. Hope that it happens XtremeTony 03:09, 6 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Since there's an active community on this wiki, I've opened up a discussion at http://caw.wikia.com/wiki/CAW_Wrestling_Wiki_talk:Community_Portal -- let me know when the discussion is concluded and I'll hand out the rights as needed. Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 05:52, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

UnRuneScape (On hold)
There has been some sustained editing by other users, but only recently, and there are no active Beaurocrats or reliably active Admins. Though these requirements are not strictly met, I think I deserve at least Sysop status for my contributions, but cannot do so due to inactivity on the Wiki. The Wiki is not up for adoption; I asked on the forums, and was directed here.-- 17:49, 6 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for putting up a Request for Adminship at http://unrunescape.wikia.com/wiki/RFA:Pig_House -- we'll check back on it in a few days to see if anyone else in the community has any comments. Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 18:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

spongebob (On Hold)
The spongebob wiki has no admins to block vandals so I want to be an admin. I've been there since the 28th. --Squidward Squarepants 01:17, 8 November 2008 (UTC)

please? Squidward Squarepants 17:58, 8 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. The current admin at Spongebob, User:AMK152, was last active about 3 weeks ago.  Please contact him on his talk page with your request.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 19:48, 9 November 2008 (UTC)

Research situation in Italy
I would like to use this Wiki to start a discussion in particular among Italian researchers who are working abroad to share our demands about research situation in Italy and then to turn these demands into projects to carry out together. This Wiki could a starting point to create an association of Italian researchers.


 * Hi, is there an existing wiki you are interested in adopting? I couldn't find anything specific to Italian researchers.   If not, you can ask to create a new wiki at http://requests.wikia.com/wiki/Special:RequestWiki -- thanks! — Catherine (talk) 18:32, 13 November 2008 (UTC)

Weebl's Stuff Wiki (Accepted)
After an embarrassing experience at the Requests Wiki, I became the only active member of this abandoned wiki and I gave the owner over a week to come back, like Catherine suggested, and he didn't, so I'm requesting to take the wiki over. I even redesigned the Main Page, the logo, and the welcome template. So far, I've made/remade 25 decent pages and I think it's ready for me to adopt. Here all of my edits there. Also, If I get the powers, can you change it's name to Weeblpedia? JCM (talk&middot;edits) 01:27, 12 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the effort you've put in there; it's starting to come together nicely. I have granted admin tools to your JCM account and I look forward to seeing what you do with the project.


 * As to a name change, we've found that sites ranks higher in search engines if the wiki's topic ("Weebl's Stuff"), which people are most likely to use as search keywords, is used in the sitename.  We can change it if you really want to, but it may make it harder for people to find your project.   — Catherine (talk) 18:50, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, could you do something like the Wookieepedia, with a surname with the topic's name in it? I'd like it to be "Weeblpedia, the wiki about Weebl's Stuff", but the project namespace be Weeblpedia. JCM (talk&middot;edits) 00:05, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * No, that's not a surname. Wookieepedia appears as Wookieepedia, the Star Wars Wiki because of their modifications to MediaWiki:Pagetitle (See w:c:starwars:MediaWiki:Pagetitle). You can do the same. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 14:19, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks, but can I at least change the project namespace to be Weeblpedia? JCM (talk&middot;edits) 00:44, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Ask a Staffmember; I don't have the ability to do that. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 05:15, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Voltron (Accepted)
I tried to create a Voltron Wiki since there isn't one yet, but I got the message there already was one. I look through the list of wiki, and its not there, no requested wiki called Voltron to be found anywhere at all, nor is it on the adopt a wiki page. If someone else was going to make it, shouldn't it be listed somewhere? Please help. There is a lot of great information which those editing the regular Wikipedia thought made the article far too long, and I want to restore it since I found all that stuff interesting, plus add additional things as well. Dream Focus 23:28, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi, Voltron has been requested before here, but unfortunately was rejected. You can ask one of the Community Team members to create it for you.-- BlueDevil Talk 23:44, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Sorted by Catherine. Wiki is now available at voltron with Dream Focus as founder. -- 02:36, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Oddopedia
Can I adopt it? -- 17:45, 15 November 2008 (UTC)

Fight Club
I was wondering if I can adopt it. I've been making some edits to it and need to be admin to improve it further as far the side and top bars go. -- 10:42 15 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hey Ozmanks, glad you've taken up an interest in reviving this wiki. You'll need to take a look at some of the requirements before a successful adoption. There's a lot of work you can do as a regular user before becoming an admin, if you need help with the sidebar, feel free to let a staff or helper know so they can assist you with it. Good luck. -- 04:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)

Left 4 Dead
Hello-

I am asking to be added as an administrator/bureaucrat for the Left 4 Dead wiki. The current administrator is ShadoW, and he did a very good job on creating a wiki for an unreleased game, but now that it's almost time for the game to be released (it is released the 18th), a lot of people are going to be adding content to the wiki and several things need to be changed around (such as a few things on the side-menu thing, whatever it's called).

I've spent several hours editing the wiki, and I'm soon going to look into overhauling the CSS if at all possible. I check up on the wiki at least once a day to see if anything has changed of importance, and I've had a clean track record with Wikia.

I know that pretty much none of the main requirements for adoption are fulfilled here (ShadoW was on the wiki eight days ago), but with a game so close to release, it is my opinion that the wiki needs a dedicated, consistent administrator/bureaucrat to keep things in line, even if it is just temporary until ShadoW starts to become active again. I've left messages on his user talk page, but he has yet to reply to them.

Thank you for taking the time to look over my request.
