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)

Murder, She wrote wiki
There appears to be a re-occuring glitch in the software. the style of the wiki will change when the monobook page hasnt been altered and the links in the wikia navigation box seem to stop working, can you assisst? Anthil&#39;za 08:55, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

Tyler Warren
<...long discussion archived>


 * 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)
 * (I'm going to stay anonymous for this)
 * "I'll pretend you didn't .ay that. Why don't you quit being a pussy and reveal yourself, RuneScape Wikia-er Tyler Warren 11:51, 1 November 2007 (UTC)"
 * That's what he said to me. He is ready to block me, and now I have proof that he automatically assumes that all vandals are from RSW.
 * Guess what? He just attacked me again:
 * Meh. I'm a b-crat pal. Also, I know you're a RS Wiki'er because you RS Wiki (Or "Runegay players" as us Ody'ers call you) are the only idiots dumb enough to tread through our murky waters of the wiki.
 * and:
 * Let me ask you something, son...What's your name?.......IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOUR NAME IS. All that matters is that you take your comments, shine 'em up real nice, turn em sideways and stick em straight up, your candy *stops himself*. You known the rest. Tyler Warren 12:11, 1 November 2007 (UTC
 * It's go time, I'd like to think.
 * Still remaining anonymous, I'll post what he did to my talk page before pretecting it so I couldn't edit it:
 * Hah. I knew thats what you guys were up to. Luckily I have a backup, in my friend Captain Marco who's also a B-crat who will continue to run this, if you fools succeed with your redneck plan, which you won't because you're starting this all by egging me on, and I will make sure Wikia knows about the RS Wiki's plot. By the way, 3rd strike pal, you're banned. Take a hike. Tyler Warren 12:15, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * There is no "plot". He is paranoid, and as such is going crazy with power to block everyone that opposes him. This is the last straw. Remove his power, close the wiki, and that will be that.

I might add at this point that Tyler (aka "Total Rune") left an offensive/sexist comment to a Wikia staff member talk page too (before it got removed again), as can be seen here. You can track the other changes from the same IP on the runescape wikia too. However, many of Tyler's attacks came from different IPs as he was using www.ninjasurfing.com (he credit's Blanko for the tip). Amaurice (talk) 13:29, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I should have said that it was during his vandalising phase. Amaurice (talk) 13:46, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Blocked in Starcraft Wikia
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)

About the cloak
It seems i dont have it. I mean, doing a WHOIS on myself show my IP and ISP infos. Do you need I give you the required information again ? — TulipVorlax 04:18, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

Reply : Thanks, there was no problem really; i dont use IRC much. But maybe someday... ;-) — TulipVorlax 05:25, 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?

--Lilithia 21:09, 29 October 2007 (UTC)

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

To avoid conflicts of edition with whom they do not belong to the World of Independent Culture I have postulated to obtain my own wiki with your servant.

You can see the details here.

He would be grateful to you they were discussing with you staff the possibility of giving me the wikia.

In advance, thank you very much.

 * 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 . Angela (talk) 12:13, 30 October 2007 (UTC)


 * Thanx. didn't know it was knew...Forerunner 17:24, 30 October 2007 (UTC)

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)

Hi, Sorry To Bother You
I was just wondering how I can gain Admin rights on the Stephen King wiki? I erased the adopted sign and have been editing it for a while, and there are currently no other active users on the wiki. I plan to put a link to the wiki on Wikipedia in the future, but I'm not sure who to talk to in order to become an admin, and was hoping you could help me. Please reply on User talk:DrakemasterDrake. Thank you.

Date formatting
Hi, I'm wondering if there is a way to force the date produced via and RSS feeds of Recent Changes / Article History to be presented in numerical Asian format (YYYY/MM/DD) so that it can be easily sorted automatically. American format would be a backup second choice (still useful if all the dates are within the same year). The DD/MM/YYYY (currently used by ) and YYYY/DD/MM (currently used by )formats limits automated sorting to dates within the same month for the result to be meaningful, which I find a bit restrictive on a number of occasions. Thanks. -PanSola 23:49, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

About myself
I'd like to speak to you on my talk page, which I will protect to keep the people of the RuneScape wikia from interfering with our chat. The main reason for protection will be so we can have a one on one chat about myself and the wikia I am running. I'd also like to let you know, that Mr. "Power of Supremacy" has been banned from the Odyssey Online Wikia because he verbally harassed me and made a sockpuppet account, insulting my old Wikia username "Total Rune", which he called "Total Jerk". He also insulted me 2 other times, giving him the 3 strikes. I am trying to run a good clean wikia based on a popular-within-a-small-community MMORPG, that still has potential to reach the big leagues, but due to pop-ins from RS Wiki members, most of which leading to blocks (one of the RS wiki people used their IP to edit pages on my wiki, claiming to be "new to editing", and then full out blanking pages.
 * Long story short, please visit my talk page on the Odyssey Online Wiki, I'd like to speak with you. Tyler Warren 12:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * When will you get it, Total? We are NOT out to get you. This "Power of Supremacy" guy was simply trying to show you that you are abusing your powers as a sysop. And Ilyas/Dtm didn't blank any pages. Maybe if you got your head out of your ass, you'd realize that they are tying to HELP.
 * No, when will you get it. Power of Supremacy called me "dipwad", then "idiot", then made a sockpuppet account called "Total Jerk". He earned his ban. Also. I didn't say Dtm142 or Ilyas vandalized. I said an anonymous IP (from the RS Wiki, I know it was from the Wiki) vandalized. The IP claimed to be new at editing then just full out blanked pages. Tyler Warren 22:34, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Also, now he's making more sockpuppets, on behalf of the RuneScape Wikia (see here) and claiming I'll see the error of my ways. '''Angela I beg you to go to the RS Wiki and tell them to leave me the hell alone. It's annoying dealing with these fools who only want to see me fail. Tyler Warren 22:40, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * So, what was the justification of your banning Dtm142? -PanSola 22:42, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
 * We had some problems in the past, but he's really helping the Wikia and I haven't rebanned him. I'm even thinking of sysopping him (Because we have a lack of users to vote on an RfA) Tyler Warren 22:57, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

Enough is Enough, Tyler Warren!
(I have to post this on my Wii, and this new header is due to restrictions from it) TOTAL! DON'T YOU GET IT YET? I'm only using socks to hammer down a point: that you are rude, verbally and crat-wise abusive, and a liar. You used sockpuppets yourself on RSW, so why shouldn't I?
 * In fact, I'm going to go ahead and stop making socks on your wiki, as I can see that it's POINTLESS to argue with you.
 * I admit to using a sockpuppet or two in my time, but alot of those "sockpuppets" were not me. 75% of them was my brother, who has a knack for vandalism and got himself banned from Runescape, Endless Online and even World of Warcraft. I share a wireless internet connection with my brother and sister. I am not rude, you are rude. Hence why I Banned you from the Odyssey wiki (hands getting numb O.o getting hard to type). As for abusive, crat-wise, you cannot sustain that accusation. I banned who I banned for a reason (Except for Dtm, that was kind of a mistake from the beginning). As for a liar, tis not true. Now quit bothering Angela, I'm sure she's had enough, as have I. Me = 1, You = 0 Tyler Warren 10:48, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

I think both of you need to calm down. It's very clear you're upset and angry, but you aren't solving anything with this aggressive communication. Perhaps the two of you might like to avoid interaction, and if possible, talk about this matter when you've both cooled off a little bit. -- Manticore  Talk 12:12, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, now he's gone nuts!!! He's deleted everything, blocked Captain Marco, and compromised the main page.  Get him out now!!! Dtm142 22:52, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * No worries, Catherine has taken care of the abuser and he has been stripped of his sysop/crat powers and blocked for a week for trolling and porn. If he persists after his block expires then there is a good chance he will be blocked indefinitely.-- Cometstyles 23:19, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

CC-by-sa-nc request.
Hi, Angela. I'm the admin of the Yuriban Encyclopedia, and I'd like to get some information regarding putting our Wikia under a CC-by-sa-nc license, in the same fashion as Désencyclopédie. May we have this discussion on my user talk page? Thanks. --Ruriko 12:37, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

Explanation
Let me explain my actions. The Odyssey Online does not want a wikia. The community has done a mass vote and voted against the Wikia. Plus, the minute I mentioned "RuneScape" everyone who was online insulted me. So I wanted you to delete the Odyssey Wikia. No-one else will work on it. Not even TheCaptainMarco. So just do me a favour, and delete it. I know you wanted to delete it in the first place. Tyler Warren 23:17, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Just delete the wiki. All it's gonna do is sit there and be a vandal target. Tyler Warren 23:24, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Tyler, wiki's with considerable active users don't get deleted plus I don't think Angela ever wanted to delete this wiki and I'm not sure what mass vote you were referring to but this wikia will continue. It's fairly young and new and the final decision will lay in the hands of the staff and not yours and your recent vandalism spree to the wiki has proven that you are unfit to continue as its founder so your rights have been revoked till the staff has made a decision...-- Cometstyles 23:44, 2 November 2007 (UTC)
 * -mimics again- Whatever. I am a perfectly fit owner, the community of the game just doesn't want a wikia. So get it over with and delete it. Also, you forgot about Speckledorph, he can re-bcrat me. Also, I'm a wikipedia user so if I get banned on Wikia, I dont give 2 shits. Tyler Warren 00:27, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
 * Also "considerable active users"? There's only 3 active users! Me, Speckle and Marco (who's now quit), so there's really only 2. Just delete it ffs! Tyler Warren 00:47, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
