Eulalia459678 Admin Status on Warriors Wiki
I would like to request that you rescind the Sysop status that was granted to Eulalia459678 on Warriors Wiki

This user, while participating actively, has basically put into a place a 'no editing my edits' rule, and has said as much to Myself (for removing fangirling, rumors, unverifiable info, and spoilers from the news section they said "Each time you change one of my edits, I will just revert it.") and Hobbes15 ("I am glad you want to help update, but please, don't mess with mine without asking, okay?" as a comment on Hobbes' talk page).

This is not an acceptable approach to a Wiki environment. It hampers the efforts of others and damages the community feel. I know I'm guilty of enforcing rules and standards and working towards a consistent Warriors Wiki... But is it really acceptable for a person to take over, lay claim to things! While it's one thing for me to change things others have done, to remove spoilers and the like, it's quite another for a person to say any part of the Warriors Wiki is "mine" and that no one else has any right to edit what they've edited!

Please remove this tyrant from our midst! Warriors Wiki was a happy place full of people who (while busy) were working towards a quality reference. Not on a single person's fangirling shrine!

A few questions for Computer Wiki...
I have 2 questions for Computer Wiki: Send your answer to my Computer Wiki talk page. Thanks! Cal 02:47, 18 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Can I have Recent Changes patrol activated
 * How can I find (and modify) the different skins

Perverted works on Fiction wikia
The fiction wikia currently is undergoing a major debate over what stories ("works") should remain on the site. Quite a few works are particularly controversial. this one is one such case. The work is hard literotica/porn and thus I found at least parts of it inappropriate for the web site. I deleted such sections, but User:Serprex undid the "censorship" and now it's back to a really, really perverted story. What's more, for a fiction site, not only is the particular work bad taste, but it's also heavily lacking in either literary merit or humor/creativity, which means that it's not worth much.

This is actually an example of a larger conflict that we've been having. I'll tell you right away that I'm in favor of works in which people actually spend their time and effort to make into credible, good stories and poems with merit, because I see this as the best way to attract responsible, diligent new users in the long run, which is what we need if the site is to grow. Problem is, there are far more people who put up works of bad taste (such as works in made-up languages, works in which words are written backwards, works in which there's primarily random nonsense) and claim them to be good works unworthy of deletion. As a result, every once in a while an edit war occurs, depending on what we decide should or should not be kept on the site. Most of them are resolved peacefully rather quickly, and we all do our best to posit our points of view on talk pages.

It's hard though. And I have a feeling that if the bad works on this site aren't gotten rid of, newcomers will merely take it as an indication at they too can also submit horrible content, which perpetuates the cycle. And when the actual good writers show up for the first time and see the mess, they may be discouraged. Thankfully, there aren't too many such pages that I consider worthy of deletion, but I want to get this sorted out so in the future there will be less need for controversy. And I hope you'll agree with me that the best way to make a wikia for fiction is to remove shoddy, I-spewed-this-out-in-one-minute, perverted, random/jejune, pseudo-, controversial stories in favor of nice traditional poems, short stories, and novels that can actually attract attention. I hope you'll show up on the Fiction wikia and see for yourself.

Please ban
Hi Angela could you please ban User:78.61.35.74 on the Pirates of the Caribbean Wiki, he continually creates articles consisting of one illegible sentance and refuses to properly source, tag, or categorize them. He has been warned three times now by myself and two other users but refuses to take heed, our only acive admin is away at the moment, so if you could deal with this anon it would be much appreciatead.--\\Captain KAJ// 09:29, 21 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Can you give me an example of something he created? The deleted contributions feature isn't currently working on that wiki, so I can't tell what he's done. Angela (talk) 04:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

 * I'm looking into this with a couple of the other community team members. Any thoughts on whether it would be best to close this wiki? Angela (talk) 04:13, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
 * Seeing as he abuses his sysop powers (he's infinately blocked me for te reason "GIT!"), he should at least be warned. If it continues, close the wiki and desysop him. (It won't log me on as Stinkowing here, by the way.)
 * It depends. If he continues to abuse his powers after being warned, the wiki could be put up for adoption.  If nobody is fit to take it over, it could be semi-permanently closed until someone does. Dtm142 01:13, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

Blocked in Starcraft Wikia 2
He blocked me as well due to false prosecution of SPAMMING which I did not do but blamed me for SPAM anyway. how to be Admin like him with the special blocking and unblocking rights? How to be enforcer like every admin for all Wikias?(Assaulthead 04:06, 28 October 2007 (UTC))


 * This has been explained to you very clearly and concisely by Dantman on your talk page. I cannot speak for the blocking matter, but you might like to leave a message with another Community Team staffer. As you can see at the top of the page, Angela may be sluggish responding to messages. -- Manticore  Talk 07:38, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Moderation Issue
Hello, Angela! I posted two issues on Catherine's talk page, but the permissions problem was never addressed, and the template issue not entirely resolved. I saw that you recently assisted the Thorium Brotherhood Wiki with a similar problem. Could you help us?

Hola Angela (Hi Angela)
(es)

Para evitar conflictos de edición con quienes no pertenecen al Mundo de la Cultura Independiente he postulado para obtener mi propia wiki con vuestro servidor.

Los detalles los puedes ver aquí.

Te agradecería discutieran con tu staff la posibilidad de darme la wikia.

De antemano, muchas gracias. -- (en) my English is bad, I'm sorry

 * Zuirdj is looking into this. Angela (talk) 12:13, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

In other languages...
central pages are able to have this link to to the foreign equivelant of the page... is there a way to get it on other wikias? as in like changing the Monobook or something? cos i'm trying to set them on Residennt Evil to link to the Italian version and vica-verca. --[F] 11:55, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * I've just added this. It doesn't take effect immediately, so it could be a couple of days before you see it working, but when it is, you can link to the Italian version from the English one using article title and link the other way using article title .

Adminship
I tries to make a wiki on a topic, but found there already was one! Too bad it was a real mess and the founder and the admins hadn't been on for a year. It got tagged for adoption, but I have started fixing it up. However there are things only an admin can do, and I cant get promoted because they dont come on. Can you please Promote me? The wiki is The LatterDay Wiki. Please contact me on my talk page there- Mato ro183 (Ta lk) 12:21, 30 October 2007 (UTC)
