Forum:AR:Adoption request for Video Game High School Wiki

Forums: Index &rarr; Adoption requests &rarr;

What is your username? EternalBlaze

Please link to the wiki here: Video Game High School Wiki

'''How many edits have you made on that wiki? '''196 edits

How many days/months have you been editing there? Since June 22, 2012 (roughly 25 days)

On the Special Pages -> Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? The last time an admin edited was on June 14, 2012 and their username is "LegoMinecrafter."

Any other information:

Other users and I have talked about how we should gain adminship, since the current and only admin, the user I stated above, hasn't replied to any requests for adminship or any messages for that matter. Another user and I have plans for renovating the wiki, but we are unable to complete our plans without admin rights.

I have discussed with other users about wiki adoption, but I wasn't sure about doing it, since the admin edited the wiki within the last 60 days (and it says that "the wiki that you want to become an administrator of needs its administrator(s) to have been inactive for at least 60 days.")


 * Funnily enough EternalBlaze, unofficially responding to adoption requests is something I do regularly here! You are quite correct in that this wiki cannot be adopted until 14 August. It will likely be put on hold by staff until then.

Hi. Per Eladkse, the wiki won't be eligible for adoption for another 20 days. You're welcome to re-open this request at that time. Thanks! - Brandon Rhea (talk) 20:42, July 25, 2012 (UTC)

Hello, I am re-opening the adoption request, now that it has almost been a month without the current admin editing the wiki. If any of this information required, the last time the admin edited was July 28, 2012 and now that it is almost August 28 (less than a week from now), I felt it would be good to re-open the request, also due to the fact that the other editors and I feel that we are in need of an active user with admin powers.

Any other information: Yes! I, Rex Axxel, don't even want adminship—Eternalblaze is the user on the wiki who we (the few habitual editors) have all been advocating for to attain adminship. We've already tried contacting the wiki creator on numerous occasions and Eternalblaze has already filed out requests for adminship, only to have recieved a message on his wall saying that his request was to be put on hold to August 14th—four days ago. So if you do give me adminship (and god who I don't believe in bless your soul if you do), I'd only use it to give Eternalblaze power to the wiki—and I would even prefer if you just gave him (Eternalblaze) adminship solely instead of me. Either way, I really hope you'll just do something about all this, and feel free to check any of our message walls to confirm any of the above information (via message walls is the only way any of us communicate). Thank you and mahalo.

Hello, I'm Rex Axxel (talk) 03:33, August 23, 2012 (UTC), another member and habitual editor of the VGHS wiki, and I whole-heartedly support Eternalblaze to become the admin of the wiki. Just to establish some perspective, LegoMinecrafter, the wiki's founder, has only edited the wiki 27 times. Ever. And the last time he edited something on the wiki, which was on July 28th (almost a month ago), it was litterly to add two words to a sentence he didn't even complete (See http://vghs.wikia.com/wiki/Video_Game_High_School_Wiki?diff=prev&oldid=5017, because this Rex does not lie). Eternalblaze on the other hand has made 365 edits, has basically run the wiki (and was around long before I joined), and has established friendly relations with all of wiki's actual editors (And theres only 4 of us who edit the thing, and all 4 of us have expressed our support for Blaze (which you can see on the talk pages; they don't lie); in fact, another user (Jcdcist) and I even filed for adminship though explained explicitly that we'd prefer you make Eternalblaze the admin instead of us). I would sincerely appreciate it if you would finally give Eternalblaze control over the wiki so we may turn it around for the better, because as it stands, theres only so much we can do and we all really want to make the wiki as interactive as possible and to look as professional as possible for when Season 2 comes around. Thank you.

'''Any other information: I, Jcdcist do nor request adminship but only ask that adminship could be given to fellow editor EternalBlaze for he is the main contributor to the wiki and could help us much more if he was admin. and Legominecrafter is being essentialy useless'''

 * Hi. I have given EternalBlaze admin (sysop only) rights on the wiki; he cannot fully adopt the wiki given that the bureaucrat is still active. Thank you for the public community agreement, and the messages to the bureaucrat which gave him an opportunity to voice opposition.  Please be aware that he can remove the rights if he does object.   If he becomes inactive in the future you can apply to fully adopt the wiki at that time.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:34, August 27, 2012 (UTC)
