Bionicle Wiki
Please destroy my Bionicle wiki. It is completely pointless, there is another one on the web that is so much better than mine. I am currently running a Code Lyoko wiki elsewhere, and do not like Bionicle anymore, and do not want to keep contributing to my wiki. I was the only user anyways. Please delete it, I want to never see it again! Please! KFan II 00:11, 27 March 2006 (UTC)


 * If you don't want to be involved, you don't need to be, but I think the wiki has a lot of potential, and more users might come there in future, so I'll leave it open for them, but don't feel like you have to take responsiility for it if you don't want to. Angela (talk) 04:05, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

But Angela, the Bionicle wiki not associated with Wikia that can be found here has so many users and is known as the "big Bionicle wiki". Everybody attends there. What's the point of Nuipedia? KFan II 22:15, 27 March 2006 (UTC)


 * That's a dead link. Which is a very good reason people should use Wikia and not rely on some website that is not stable and not guaranteed to exist a week later. Angela (talk) 06:32, 30 March 2006 (UTC)


 * He just typed the URL wrong, so I fixed it. Please don't insult our wiki, and say that wikia is so much better than it, we have members that work very hard for it and spend much of their time on it. I think you should respect his wishes and delete Nuipedia.--Bioncicleman of BS01


 * I wasn't insulting your website (you made it look like that by editing his comment to point to a different URL). I was saying the link he gave was dead. Often people host wikis on personal sites that are not guaranteed to be there in future. If people from your wiki stopped harrassing him and vandalising the Bionicle wiki, he probably wouldn't be asking for it to be closed. It's a shame the copyright policy on your wiki is so unclear or we could share content between the two rather than needing to argue about which wiki is best. People wanting to edit and create free bionicle content as part of the wider Wikia community will continue to be welcome to do so. Angela (talk) 04:54, 31 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm really sorry about the vandallism, I spoke to the wiki about it and it won't happen again. The problem is that Nuipedia isn't linked from the Bionicle page on wikipedia and probably never will be. We aren't either, but we are in an indirect way under BS01. I'm just saying that Nuipedia will probably go unoticed under our wiki, not that ours is better or anything. Oh, and by the way, I don't own the wiki, I'm just a member.--Bioncicleman of BS01
 * No, he doesn't own the Wiki, I do. I apologize for their attitude, sometimes I cannot control what they do outside of the Wiki. I do control what KFanII does, and he just vandalized my wiki. Granted, it deserved it when the members vandalized the pages, but it's just wrong to do it to a purchased website that is hosted on its own server, not through a parent site. I'll have the members stop (who already have) and not do it again. Thanks for understanding. --Swert, Co-Owner of BS01

Popular pages doesn't work at all
In evchk.wikia.com, all articles displays (0 views) in popular pages. Could you fix it for me?


 * It won't work because we can't track page views due to the way the site is cached. The link to popular pages should be removed since the data is gives is not accurate and won't ever be. See bug:289. Angela (talk) 05:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Another petition from Nonsensopedia
Dear Angela, We’re writing to you (again) in very important case. Last time on our wikia, Nonsensopedia, we had some problems with our administrators. Because of this, one of our admins, Kondzio15, resigned his administrator rights and abandoned Nonsensopedia. Here’s his statement. In translation, it means: ''In 25th of March 2006 I’d resigned of being administrator on Nonsensopedia. I don’t give a damn, what you’re gonna do with this''. Administrators of Nonsensopedia had voted in this case. You can find this poll here. As you can see, unanimously he’s out. And here’s our request: We want you to take administrator rights from Kondzio15 as soon as you can. Another one: Our other administrator, Lolek, is negligent. He were’nt on Nonsensopedia from couple of months. We wanted to take away from him his admins rights, so we’ve voted again. Results are here. We want you to take his rights too, if it isn’t a problem for you. We hope that you can understand us and you’ll make this things as quick, as you can. Representative of Nonsensopedia, Hani.md.


 * This is now done. Angela (talk)


 * I'm not so sure. You haven't taken administrator rights from Lolek. Read carefully the petition above, if You want to. Hani.MD 11:17, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * But Lolek was editing just a couple of weeks ago. What harm is there to him keeping his adminship? No other projects remove adminship just because someone was away for a couple of weeks. I am very concerned that you will drive off dedicated users if you have this sort of policy of removing rights from them when they have not abused those rights. Wikia sites are supposed to be open to everyone and adminship is simply something given to trusted users. Angela (talk) 12:37, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Hi Angela. First of all sorry for my english. I'll try to explain why we got politic of quick removing admin rights from an inactive user. Nonsensopedia community is very young and still very small. The youngest admin is 15, and the oldest is 22. We got 10 admins. Except of them there's maybe 10 users who are active and interested in expanding project and who really know how to make that kind of encyclopedia.
 * Most of edits on Nonsensopedia are accidental. We got a plague of embarrassing edits referended to our local grandpha celebrities, like Andrzej Lepper (en), Tadeusz Rydzyk (en) and the biggest curse, Chuck Norris and his roundhouse kick. Furthermore whe got a lot of oldest arcticles where may be some content about private persons. Most of accidental ip user thinks that in Nonsensopedia they can write about they friends, enemies, teatchers or local stars like hobos and old mans. Whe got a lot of desolated articles to.
 * Earlier, when Nonsensopedia starts, founder, Yossarian, brings to the situation of total anarchy, and when he's gone, anarchy has grown without any control. Maybe six weeks ago we complete a group of people who wants to transformate Nonsensopedia into a really good encyclopedia. When we asking to remove some right, we'll try to release place for new person becouse we affraid of restrictions relative to number of admins owing to an article in wikicity. Is there any restrictions? We are trying to optymalize our work and workplace. We are just in the begining of forming Nonsensopedia. Sorry for boring. Szoferka 01:39, 4 April 2006 (UTC)


 * There is no limit to the number of admins you can have. If there are problems with vandalism, it would be best to have as many trusted users as possible be admins so that they can help with reverting that. Angela (talk) 04:15, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Help
How do I get a logo for my Wikia called War. Thank you. General Eisenhower 23:37, 29 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Create a 150x150 pixel (or less) PNG file of what you want as your logo, and upload it to filename Wiki.png (example: Image:Wiki.png). Splarka 03:23, 30 March 2006 (UTC)


 * I tried to get War Wikia's logo the image below but I can't. Can you do it for me because I'm stumped. Tell me when you completed it on my talk page. Thank you. Star Wars' Wiki 23:19, 31 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Never mind. I got it down. Star Wars' Wiki 23:40, 31 March 2006 (UTC)

Please help me!
Angela, I visited my wiki, Nuipedia, and found out that a bunch of users from the Bionicle Sector 01 Wiki had vandalized it! Now all of my pages have been destroyed! Please help me! I banned a bunch of them for infinite time, but it's just too much for me to handle! What should I do? KFan II 20:56, 30 March 2006 (UTC)


 * Don't worry. I'll fix it now. Angela (talk) 23:38, 30 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm sorry about this KFan II, I spoke to some of the members on BS01 that it was not right to do so. It won't happen again.--Bioncicleman of BS01

Yes
Thank you. After I requested Yugipedia, I found that Wikia already has a Wikia about Yu-Gi-Oh. I'm thinking of requesting a Wikia called countries, now. Star Wars' Wiki 22:45, 31 March 2006 (UTC)


 * There is a wiki for places at cities, so perhaps the content you're thinking of could go there. Angela (talk) 03:03, 1 April 2006 (UTC)

Angela!
The vandalism on Nuipedia continues! They're even calling me very rude names! Is there any way to stop members of BS01 from vandalizing pages? Many pages now only have swear words on them! Please stop this madness! KFan II 15:34, 1 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I'm really sorry about this KFan II, I already reverted the vandallsim there. Man, I feel like I am two sides. Also, please do not vandallise again on BS01. You were upset when people vandallised Nuipedia, what makes us different.--Bioncicleman of BS01


 * Don't let it worry you. Vandalism is very easy to revert, and if you don't want to do it, someone else will help. You obviously need to stop vandalising their wiki as well. Perhaps you could suggest to them that they collaborate rather than needing to see this as a competition. Angela (talk) 02:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


 * There are two problems with your proposition, Angela. First of all, the members of BS01 wiki will not listen to anything he says because they know who he is and what he has done(not that all of it is bad). Even if they were to agree with him, he has a two year block for the vandallism he did, and by then he will not even care about it. Alot can happen in two years.--Bioncicleman of BS01


 * I have to agree with Bionicleman. He vandalised my Wiki, in a deliberate attempt for retaliation, but my CVU team took care of the mess, and he was blocked for 2 years. I would have made it longer, but I didn't think it needed to be any more than it is. The main problem I have with KFan is he's vandalised so much of my Wiki, and this wasn't even the beginning of it. He started it 6 months ago when we were new, and then he left because all the information he provided was inaccurate, incorrect, and once more spam. He created his own Wiki, granted a Bionicle Wiki wasn't here to begin with, but then he proceeded to fill it up with more spam. My members did what they did so that the Wiki could possibly be closed, and more false info could be closed. Oh, and hopes of people moving information back and forth through the Wikis is impossible... the BS01 Wiki doesn't have a GFDL. We cannot copyright (or copyleft) already copyrighted property, and we cannot simply make our own stuff just to settle the needs of the GFDL. Now, if you still think Nuipedia should stay online, that is your problem... but, I ask that you don't make it mine as well. -Swert, Co-Owner of Bionicle Sector 01

The Babylon Project
I was wondering about the current status of the Bablyon Project Wiki and if I could have Admin access to it. I would like to build up this wiki and would appreciate your help. You can contact me at darthxor@gmail.com.


 * Do you have a username? You're welcome to start editing the wiki and you can do that even without a username. Once you've made some edits and decided to log in, I can give you admin access. Angela (talk) 02:24, 2 April 2006 (UTC)

Big Problem
I have a big problem. It's about cretaing the new Wikia. I requested one on Kentucky but I'll never know if my Wikis was ever created because nobody can e-mail me. I don't have an e-mail adress. Please tell me when the administrators created it because I'll never have any way of knowing. Honest Abe 21:08, 2 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I've left you a message at wikicities:c:kentucky:User talk:Honest Abe. Angela (talk) 03:42, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Now that I have a new Wikia, I'll be able to create more. Honest Abe 21:34, 3 April 2006 (UTC)

Adminship on a semi-inactive wiki
I seem to be the only user (other than you, User:Splarka and a bot) to be contributing to ShoppingWiki: (since the start of 2006). This is probably temporary, and will change when the wiki gets some publicity, but it means there's nobody to answer a RfA. Can I become an admin so I can delete some pages after an upcoming merge, and carry out successful VfAs and VfDs in the future? Seahen 16:02, 3 April 2006 (PDT)

Also, could ShoppingWiki: have a Portal namespace? I'd like to make graphical front ends for some categories, and a portal namespace would be the logical place. Seahen 23:12, 3 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Update: This duplicates an e-mail I sent on the contact form.


 * I've replied at w:c:User talk:Seahen. Angela (talk) 02:47, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

Adminship on pl.fantasy
Hi Angela. On pl.fantasy one guy is coping articles from Nonsensopedia, most of them are about politicans. I assume that's some child. Founder on this wiki has 4 edits and he has be gone for 6 weeks now. I would be mostly pleased if you granted me a admin rights, thus I could clean up that wiki and improve it technically. I'm looking forward for your reply here. Szoferka 20:47, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I've made you an admin and bureaucrat there. Good luck cleaning up the wiki. Angela (talk) 06:08, 8 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Thank you very much. Szoferka 23:50, 7 April 2006 (PDT)

Homestar Parody Wiki
User:Seriously has gone crazy. He blocked me for 1 year because he didn't like me. He deleted an IP address type account that had no dots so it was an actual user. He yelled at me because I undeleted something. And he IS A TROLL ON OTHER WIKIS! &mdash; 15:20, 6 April 2006 (PDT)
 * Angela, please let me explain so that my reputation on all wikis isn't completely ruined. I blocked The thing because of his overall immaturity and defiance to comply with the standards. He has gossipped about me cruelly, too. I am majorly offended by this. That alon should be should be considered a personal attack, enough to remove him of his adminship. But that's not where it ends. There was a troll named Trollbrother2 way back when. He was finally blocked permanently for his trolling. Sadly, The thing would not put up with it, so we finally had to settle with his babyish immaturity and agree to three months. Just now, he unblocked him. He has a major ego problem if he thinks he can do something big like that when the community consensus disagreed. Finally, the IP address should consider creating an account. He already has, and soon his userpage will be deleted. There is no problem. I hope I have explained our predicament adequately, and I wish you good luck with your future endeavors. &mdash; 22:44, 6 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Come on guys, you've got to work this out. The Thing, you need to listen to, and talk to, the other people on the Wikia.  If everyone disagrees with you, then you need to be able to go along with them - even if it's not something you want to do.  Blocking each other is not a good way to work out your disputes.  Seriously, it's not a good idea to block IPs that are trying to contribute.  If they are not understanding how you do things, then try talking to them about it.  The same with encouraging people to make an account - try persuading them, it may cause a lot less problems.
 * On IP user pages, you need to work this policy out between the two of you and the rest of the community. If all of you agree, then fine.  The idea that someone came up with of redirecting IP user pages to their talk page seems a very good compromise.  You have a potentially good Wikia here, with lots of possible users to join you.  You have both made edits in the past that you might want to forget now, so I suggest you both move on from that and make this Wikia a good place to be for everyone.  Thanks for listening. -- sannse (talk) 09:14, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, for the record, I don't think anyone redirercted the IP to his talk page&mdash;I believe that The thing redirected the IP userpage to the same thing, but without dots. I find it sensible for him to create an account&mdash;it would not only make him a legal user in my eyes, but it would delete all of this controversy. This is all utterly obsolete, however&mdash;as The thing just said he quit. For some reason. Of course, he's donbe this multiple times, and he always comes back. Ah well. &mdash; 11:18, 7 April 2006 (UTC)
 * He called be an ***hole! &mdash; 13:12, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

www.desencyclopedie.com
Can you give me a time frame as to when you will make the default URL of Desencyclopedie to www.desencyclopedie.com? I gave you the domain name about 3 weeks ago, and it's still laying unused as a parked domain. It should be a simple thing, really, so I'm puzzled as to the holdup. Thanks! --Philo 09:52, 7 April 2006 (UTC)


 * I've no idea. I've asked Jason to contact you about this. Angela (talk) 06:08, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Command & Conquer wikis
The reason that there are only a few pages is that I haven't got round to announcing it to the Command & Conquer fan community yet, becuase I have been busy lately. I think it could be broadened some time in the future, but right at the moment I just want to see how it gets on with just the tiberian universe.


 * I don't see any harm in letting people add other topics since this is supposed to be the cnc wiki, not just the tiberian wiki. Angela (talk) 06:08, 8 April 2006 (UTC)

Problem
Hi! The URL on this page does not exist.


 * Thanks for pointing it out. It should have been http://zlo.wikia.com. Angela (talk) 15:07, 8 April 2006 (UTC)
