Adoption:Lost Boys Wiki

Adoption requests →

What is your username?

User:OldOneX

Please link to the wiki here: http://lostboys.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

How many edits have you made on that wiki? Not a lot, 8 to be precise but it has been largely inactive for months, years in some cases and I aspire to re-vamp the wiki (pun-intended) and making it inviting to other users, then constructing the wiki and then making it an active community.

How many days/months have you been editing there? 1/1

On the Special Pages → Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? Last time the Bureaucrat edited was June 4th 2012! and it was User:Headvampire, there are no Admins

Any other information:

I love the Lost Boys Series and the Wiki would benefit greatly from me being it's leader. I could make that a place where all Lost Boys fans could retrieve information about their favourite film or character and discuss what they love about it like every wiki community should. On the Special:Listusers it tells me that only one single edit has been made in 2014 and that was to a user profile, if I was given Bureaucrat rights, I am an active user on multiple Vampire wikis and I could gather and bring users over to make it active, I could spruce up the wiki and make it pretty and inviting to visiting users to make it more likely that they would come back to visit and contribute. I could make a proper wordmark logo, background and edits to the CSS as I have sufficient experience now in Wikia design and coding.

 * Hi OldOneX, the adoption guidelines say that you must have edited the wiki you want to adopt for 7 days or longer, so this request may be put on hold instead. Best of luck with your request! – Ozuzanna 12:24, April 27, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks Ozuzanne, I know that I haven't edited there long as the structure of the wiki is undesirable at present but as stated in my request I plan to spruce the place up and make it active, I was hoping that the Staff would understand that. I was also hoping that the adoption guidelines were just guidelines and not mandatory criteria. If the request is put on hold, then how would I go about moving the request forward and contacting the appropriate people after I have fulfilled the criteria they want from me? If someone could explain this I would appreciate it, thanks. - OldOneX (talk) 14:10, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
 * Hi again OldOneX, I point out the 7 days guideline as I saw elsewhere that is almost-always mandatory. Perhaps by the time staff evaluate your adoption, a week will have passed. Again, best of luck! – Ozuzanna 14:20, April 27, 2014 (UTC)
