Community Central:Adoption requests

Parkour (On hold)

 * Is the wiki inactive? -  Yup, it is inactive, based on:
 * Are you eligible to adopt? - This is problem, because before mounth I discovered a wiki, but I'm curently working on it and I think I can handle two of them.
 * Are you contributing to the wiki's content? - Yes, I have writed about 20 articles in dif. formats and edited aprox. the same number of other articles.
 * Are you building the community? - I'm doin parkour in daily basis, I am in many communitys of parkour and freerunning teams and portals. I would base community building on that.

Amatio
 * Hi Amatio, I'm glad you're interested in parkour -- I've always been sad that this wiki hasn't really gotten off the ground because I can imagine a wonderful, active sites full of videos and instructions and people comparing notes about moves and locations and all.
 * However, I don't see that you've made any edits on the parkour wiki yet, and that's a requirement before you can become an admin. If you start making edits today, build lots of new pages, and invite your parkour friends to join in, I'll be happy to give you the rights in a week or two.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 17:59, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Friday the 13th Wiki (Accepted)
Requesting adoption of the Friday the 13th Wiki, which has been without an active admin or bureaucrat for some time, the creator's last edit being almost a year ago. Currently I'm the only serious editor there (IPs and some named editors do occasionally show up though) and the bulk of the Wiki's content was made by me. -- Lord Crayak 21:59, October 3, 2009 (UTC)
 * Excellent work; I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well -- I strongly suggest you see if you qualify for a Wikia Spotlight as it would be great to highlight this project on all our other wikis during the Halloween season.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 18:08, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

The Godfather The Game Wiki (Accepted)
I am interested in adopting this wiki. (http://godfatherthegame.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) It has not been updated by someone other that me for more than 8 months, but the wiki itself has promise. --Constantinos2 02:12, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Good work -- please use your new admin rights well! — Catherine (talk) 18:22, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Simpsons Fanon (On hold)
I would like to adopt the simpsons fanon wiki (http://simpsonsfanon.wikia.com/wiki/Simpsons_Fanon) I edit on there but no one else does. I have high hopes for the wiki and want to make it good!

Anniemoose98,    Wanna say Hi?   15:11, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Annie, the admin Young Piece was active there relatively recently. I've left a note for him asking if he's planning to continue working on the wiki, and you can discuss it with him as well.  If he's not going to be active I'll be happy to give you the rights.  — Catherine (talk) 18:38, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Thank you- It is just that his most recent edits were all on his user page... no where else-- Anniemoose98,    Wanna say Hi?  20:32, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, but talking to him is still the right place to start. I'll follow up with you next week to see if he has responded.  — Catherine (talk) 21:27, October 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Ok, thank you -- Anniemoose98, Wanna say Hi?''' 21:32, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

jak fan fiction (Accepted)
Hi i'm Technobliterator, and I'm concerned about jakfanfcition.wikia.com. It hasn't got an active admin, so it can't grow and thus it cn't be friends with the Jak and Daxter wiki. i think i can help out, put in a rules system and perhaps help it grow. Thank you.--Technobliterator 18:46, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Hi Technobliterator -- I've given you the admin rights. Please don't fuss too much about rules at this stage -- it's much more important to be friendly and welcoming to new editors (which gets them to want to behave) than to have lots of rules in place (which try to force people to behave).  Banning is not a punishment; it's just a tool to stop people from doing things that need to be cleaned up afterwards.  Concentrate on creating new stories and inviting fun people to do the same, and soon you'll be as large and active as some of our other big fanon wikis.   Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 18:46, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Tales of Pirates Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I would like to request co-adminship for the tales of pirates wiki.

It has no active users and the 2 admins are inactive too. I left a message on their talkpage to request co-adminship, but there has been no activity at all.

I've been working on this tales of pirates wiki since dec08 and boosted it to a 2000+ articles wiki with over 1.5k page views per day. Luckily there is no abuse of any kind, but I would like to request co-adminship to amend the monaco-sidebar and to delete some pages. Thank you! Ardra 21:10, October 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Brilliant work, Ardra! I'm delighted to give you admin rights, and look forward to seeing what you do with the place.  Thank you!  — Catherine (talk) 18:50, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you Catherine, I will use them well! Ardra 20:26, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Ebay wiki (Declined)
please, there is no active users at all. Hellers4
 * Hi Hellers4, we'd be pleased to see an empty wiki become active, but I don't see that you've made any edits there yet. Can you please start fixing up the main page and creating articles?  I'm guessing that "how to" articles would do very well there.  Once you've put in a little work on the wiki I'll be happy to give you the admin rights.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 18:56, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Wakfu Wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I would like to request administration rights over the Wakfu Wikia, as I believe it has been abandoned by the existing administration for the following reasons:


 * 1) The "Candidates for Deletion" category has held a number of articles (duplicates, forgotten articles) for a number of months now, with no apparent move to delete them.
 * 2) A thread, here, on the Wakfu Official Forums about the wiki has not seen any significant discussion, even after a minor revival to discuss precisely the lack of progression.
 * 3) Three of the people who identify as being in control of the Wiki (when it was originally set up) have not posted on the official forum in a number of months. Two of them have not posted since 2008, and the other only briefly visited the forum with a single post in an unrelated "Ruin a Wish" game-thread in April 2009.

There is a question about one of the criteria though: "No sustained editing by other users" is not entirely met, as Sauronzg has been active over the past month updating a few of the pages (mostly related to the same main article).

Wakfu, which is currently still in Beta development, has recently undergone a large rewrite of the game (it might easily described as an entirely different game). This occurred roughly at the beginning of September. Sauronzg is an active member of the Wakfu Official Forum, as he was when the Wakfu.wikia.com was initially set up, and is as willing as I am to see the wiki becomes as successful as it should. So I believe he has restarted editing the wikia in good-faith that the admins are still around. If I am successful in this adoption then I would immediately grant him proper rights in recognition of his contributions (he still only has member rights).

I, myself, am also a well known contributor on the Wakfu Official Forum (under the name GoldfishGod), and author of a number of guides found there (most of which have been used as the basis for the some of the articles on wakfu.wikia). I have also been in a high-up position of both the NWN and NWN2 wikis. For NWN, starting as a basic member, I was given additional user-rights as recognition for my contributions, and for NWN2 I was granted those same rights on its creation for my continuing work and helped structure much of what remains there today.

I do not wish to see the current administration stripped of all their rights as they have been fundamental in getting wakfu.wikia started, and they may wish to return to it in the future. However for the moment, they appear absent, and I would at least like to assume caretakership of it if possible (though I do intend to do something more extensive than merely babysitting). --Defunc7 15:51, October 5, 2009 (UTC)
 * A quick update, we're discussing the issue here: Sauronzg's discussion page and Pallas-athene (the original founder, and current lead admin) agrees with this course of action.
 * A slightly different issue, Sauronzg apparently cannot currently play the game due to a bug, so he may not be interested in editing the wiki at the moment.--Defunc7 19:13, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Hi Defunc7,

I'm glad to see Pallas-athene agrees -- I've left a note on his/her talk page showing how to use the Special:UserRights page to promote admins. Good luck, the wiki is looking wonderful! — Catherine (talk) 19:41, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Spectrobes Wiki (Accepted)
Hello wikia. My name is M-NUva. I would like to ask for admin rights on the Spectrobes Wikia. I have been on the wiki for a short time but I need more rights so that the editing process that I am going through will be a success. I need the ability to delete pages considering that many pages need to be merged or expanded and cannot stay the way they are. I know that I have not done too much to the wikia but I am already on the featured users list and want to get this wikia running so that people that need to access the information on spectrobes will be able to get it.
 * Great job, I've given you the admin rights. Please use them well!  — Catherine (talk) 19:45, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I will make sure that the job gets done!! M-NUva

Lost Odyssey Wiki Admin Request
I've been editing the Lost Odyssey Wiki for awhile now. I was offered adminship once and turned it down as at the time I did not feel I could devote myself to it. However now I do have the time and ambition to devote myself to taking care of Lost Odyssey for the foreseeable future. None of the other admins seem to be taking much if any active role in this wiki. I don't need to be totally in-charge of things but if I had enough privileges to say edit and update the side bar, or delete redundant un-needed pages and what not I think that I could do this wiki a lot of good. Thank you for your consideration. Ilayas 23:47, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

Request administration of Middle-earth, current Wikia has zero articles after months
Searching for Middle Earth I find there are numerous Wikias out there, which have it in their name, but either one article or zero articles at all upon them. Since Middle-earth is the proper name, I'd like to take over that one. http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Middle-Earth currently has nothing but a link to another Wikia, which has zero articles upon it. I believe all of J.R.R. Tolkien's works could be featured here, not just those from The Lord of the Rings, but things from other novels as well.  D r e a m Focus  02:28, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * I know it says you should contribute to the wikia you wish to adopt, but my attempts to do so had problems. When editing at http://www.wikia.com/wiki/Middle-Earth it puts the new articles on the general Wikia instead!  The information I was copying over and converting from pages deleted at the main Wikipedia, ended up placed here by mistake.   D r e a m Focus  02:47, October 6, 2009 (UTC)


 * I have found that http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page is most complete and has the information I was seeking to preserve. I look at the other Wikia, and I'm curious who controls them.  Someone should have a proper redirect to http://lotr.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page instead of just another Wikia which has no articles on it.  Who do I contact to fix that?  Or does someone have to adopt it before they can change it?   D r e a m Focus  03:53, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

KND Wiki
Hi, I'd like to ask if I can adopt the Codename: Kids Next Door wiki. The admins have both been inactive for several months and there is a lot of vandalism going on in numerous sections. I found the place when I was looking for information on the show and since then, I've been hooked on editing and trying to better the place. (: Fairly 05:17, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry. Withdrawing my request for now. A banned member used my IP address and got me banned for today in return, so I have to clear that up before I go ahead with this. I'm sorry for the trouble. I'll be back though! (: Fairly 22:34, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

Queen Wiki
Hi Catherine,

I would like to adopt the Queen Wiki.

The reasons for this are:

--Croon 14:25, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * 1) I am a huge Queen Fan.
 * 2) There are very few edits in a while
 * 3) I have edited there myself.

Mario Wiki
I am requesting bureaucrat powers on Mario Wiki. I had succeeded in my Request for Bureaucrat powers there. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 21:47, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * Wait, why are you on here if you're already a bureaucrat? Could you please elaborate, because I don't understand what you're saying, and Catherine probably won't, either. ~JCM  22:13, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
 * It means he had passed a vote/discussion on the matter but nobody locally on the wiki can give him the rights, it's pretty common... (although links are usually nicer.) ~Joey~   ^Talk^  01:30, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Forza wiki
I'd like to request adoption of the Forza wiki. There have been no edits since May, 2009. I have been tidying up the general sections of the site, and have begun adding content to the wiki. I started by completing the track list page and have now begun to add individual pages for each of the tracks to include maps and brief information (3 complete so far). I'd like to get as much content on there as possible because Forza 3 is shipping this month so there will be a lot more info that will need to be added. My goal would be to create something similar to the Fallout wiki, in that it would be a central location for info on all of the games in the series.

addopt the cleveland show wiki http://cleveland.wikia.com/wiki/The_Cleveland_Show_Wiki
I've been one of the main editors at the wiki since the page became active and currently have sysop rights. Anyways the user who has the bureaucrat rights has never returned after initially creating the wiki sometime ago and now i would like to grant a user or two some additional privileges so they can help contribute and keep the wiki running smoothly but I know i need bureaucrat rights for that so I was hoping it can be granted. I've logged the most time on the wiki, have the most edits, etc and would really like full privileges so the page can be the best it can, thanks Grande13 13:20, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Fairly Odd Parents Wiki
Hello, I am a frequent editor at the Fairly Odd Parents Wiki. Not long ago the original admins left and two users, CakeMistake and The Forgotten Beast were given admin status to replace them. Unfortunately nobody was given bureaucrat status, and CakeMistake appears to be inactive. I have talked to the other admin The Forgotten Beast who is still active but cannot shoulder the load all alone, there are possibly hundreds of pages that need to be moved or deleted and we have people vandalizing every day, and he has agreed to make me and another user admin but nobody can hand out any staff positions without an active bureaucrat. I think that me and The Forgotten Beast should be granted bureaucrat status so that we can properly maintain this wiki. --Lord Beckett 17:33, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

Hello. I would like to be an administrator on the Urban Terror wikia. I have edited multiple pages (about 5 or so), and I edit wikipedia (whenever it is plausible).

I think the creator is inactive, so I would like to admin it.

Thank you for your time -Kyle CMK633 [ACE]Clubs (Urban Terror)
