Gunpedia
Angela, I've recently become a SysOp on the Guns wiki, and I was wondering, it isn't very active yet, and I just wanted to ask if you knew anything about firearms, because if you did, I wanted to ask if you have any known sources online, or if you know anything about firearms enough to help out with some articles. I figured since you are Wikia staff, you'd know a lot more about things. Brain40 14:08, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Sorry, it's not a topic I know about. You might want to ask Jimbo Wales though. I don't know if he'll have time to help, but he does know more on that topic than I do. Angela talk 04:51, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks. Brain40 00:31, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Bots
I have just created a new wiki-site.com,and since I am the creator of the site, I am bureaucrat and able to make myself bot. What is a bot? This doesn't do anything. --Bender Bending Rodriguez 19:36, 16 December 2006 (UTC)


 * That isn't a Wikia site. Perhaps they don't have bots there. Angela talk 04:51, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Well, then, what are bots supposed to do then? --Bender Bending Rodriguez 19:02, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * See this. Szoferka 19:10, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Another Question...
And Angela, I have one more question: What exactly are the restrictions for what users can do on Wikia Central? Brain40 01:37, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The Central Wikia is for briefly describing the wikis that we host and the forums are for people to ask questions to the whole Wikia community. There are also some cross-wiki policies here. This wiki isn't for creating actual content though. That should go on the relevant wiki (see the List of Wikia to find the right one). Angela talk 11:47, 17 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Okay, thanks. Brain40 10:11, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Kuk Sool Won
Thank you so much for approving the Kuk Sool Won wikia. It has always been my dream to be an administrator. Thank you so much. Jimwitz 17:55, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Oh yah, when I tried to download my Wikia image it said my file was corrupted? What should I do for that?


 * Do you mean the logo or something else? Perhaps you were saving it under the wrong file type. You could use iaza to convert it to a png. Angela talk 06:05, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Yah it's the logo and it still after Iaza says my file is corrupted???

Another Nintendo question
Could you upload nintendozh.png at zh.nintendo.wikia.com, as Wiki.png? Thanks, Wikada - Talk Contributions 01:24, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * done :-) --rieke 08:40, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

FR Wiki sysop rights
Hi, I'm the admin of the Forgotten Realms wiki (http://forgottenrealms.wikia.com). I want to give a couple of my contributors Admin access but I can't get to the Special:Makesysop page, despite the fact that I'm on the list of people who are supposed to be able to. Could you get in contact with me about this or fix it for me? I adopted the wiki from someone else who went inactive in case it matters. This is what was recorded originally: 18:54, 14 December 2005 Angela changed group membership for User:Hashimashadoo from (none) to (none) (=sysop)

Thanks! --hash


 * You need bureaucrat rights for that, not just sysop rights. I'll give you that now. See Help:User access levels for more information. Angela talk 15:29, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Anarchy Online Knowledge Base
I am going to start to try to spend a lot of time building Anarchy Online Knowledge Base. I would like to have sysop and buricratic tools. Thanks a lot. --Sir James Paul 00:27, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I would also like at Atheist wikia and Jesus wikia. Can you please get back to me soon. Happy new year and god bless. --Sir James Paul 19:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)


 * It's best to start by editing these wikis and trying to grow the user base there. Once there's a community, the community can choose the admins. Angela talk 23:06, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism
Angela, there has been a lot of vandalism going on the past few days, as well as the past amount of hours, on the Cell phone wiki, could you please ban the user who is doing it? 14:07, 27 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll look at it now. Thanks for pointing it out. Angela talk 19:03, 27 December 2006 (UTC)
 * You're welcome. (That was close...) 14:28, 27 December 2006 (UTC)

Novelas Wiki Admin Rights
Not long after you gave admin rights back to me on the Novelas wiki, the request for adminship page was busy again. Now it's been seven days since User:Serprex has nominated himself as the third (and second active) admin for the site, and his track record looks good to me. User:JWSchmidt requested that I notify you about this so that you can take a look over his request.

I would also like to point out that since getting my admin rights back, I've continued to make plenty of constructive contributions to the Novelas wiki, so that now I have over 3000 edits (and I've at the same time tried to cut down on the number of deletions I made). I suppose that I may be eligible for bureaucratship, as the only other bureaucrat of the wiki, User:Jmoysae, has long been gone, so that the position is apparently empty; and as the second admin on the site I'm runner-up. I also suppose that sooner or later more people on the site will want admin rights, so that you would save yourself quite a bit of time by handing the responsibility to someone else, especially since I am by far the most active user on that site.

Sincerely, Yunzhong Hou 01:34, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I've made Serprex an admin. If you think there's a need for the wiki to have a bureaucrat, please nominate yourself on w:c:fiction:Novelas:Requests for adminship. Angela talk 17:03, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I hope we didn't cause too much trouble :)
Hi, In the Spanish speaking countries today is "The day of the Holy Innocents", which is like your "April's Fool". That's the reason for the notice saying Wikia has closed down Inciclopedia in Inciclopedia's main page. Any link on the page, including the fake Jimbo signature links to a page were it says it's all a joke. My apologizes if you got any complaints or something.--Rataube 14:21, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't worry. I didn't see any complaints. I just had the page on my watchlist and was confused. I often get confused with Uncyclopedia sites though. There's a fine line between vandalism and jokes sometimes. :) Angela talk 17:01, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Spotlight
Angela, I need help, how can the guns wiki be more advertised? Such as, when it comes to letting more people know about it. 12:31, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * List it on either Forum:Wikia Spotlight (and maybe email gil at wikia.com to point out your suggestion since he adds those and might not notice it there) or suggest it on Wikia news box suggestions since these suggestions will be added to the Wikia messages section when Wikimedia's fundraising drive ends. Angela talk 18:24, 28 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks! 17:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Public Diplomacy
Thanks for setting us up, Angela! I exported and imported the pages from the original public diplomacy wiki and it's now live at http://publicdiplomacy.wikia.com

My only concern is that there may be remnants of spam-bot linkage embedded within, as we had a problem with that (mostly casino related) for a while. Please let me know [mailto:andy@netzoo.net via e-mail] if there's anything i should be watching out for. Thanks Uscpublicdiplomacy 04:54, 29 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I'll run the spam cleanup script on it to check. Angela talk 15:09, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Lego wikia
If no-one has adopted it yet, I was wondering if I can adopt it.

Help
Angela, could you check out this user? He's been vandalising a couple of pages. 12:36, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Community Team: Szoferka
Maybe I can join the team? I know Wikia, my English isn't fluent and I'm not using contact forms other than IRC, wiki, e-mail and mailing lists, but I'm here all day long. Szoferka 10:52, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Community Team: Mvp14
Hello Angela, I wan't to know what are the skills you look for in a new member of your team. I'm spanish, and I've joined my first wiki (inciclopedia) in September 2006. I'm admin there and I contribute to other spanish wikis. I've got good level in english and I can use e-mail as a contact form.

I think I could help spanish community with their doubts and questions, helping Zuirdj. I can be here almost all day. Do you think is soon for me or can I be useful? -- Mvp14 23:04, 30 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I think is soon for me to have a job in wikia, I will ask Zuirdj about how can I help Spanish community, because I also think there isn't much work yet. However, I woludn't matter if you ask me later while looking for staff. Thank you for the answer and happy new year. -- Mvp14 23:25, 30 December 2006 (UTC)

Videojuego
On the other hand, I will apply for your help in Wikijuegos. Another user (Bob007) besides me, need the sysop status to change some FAQs and protect several pages. We have talked to the burocraut (Onipsis) but he is inactive since november 20th. I hope you can help us. Another admin has supported this decision. Thank you again. -- Mvp14 23:43, 30 December 2006 (UTC)
