Name Change
Hi Angela. I was just wondering if you could possibly change my username... I was searching the forums and found that you were the person to contact.. Anyway, I would like it changed to ATMarsden, in line with my other usernames scattered accross the internet...

Thanx, Andrew Marsden 20:05, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Andrew. Unfortunately, we don't yet have any way to change usernames on Wikia. The only option is to create a new account with that username, but your past edits will still be attributed to your old name. Angela (talk) 20:08, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * How could I then transfer my sysop and beaur. status on Dilbert wiki across?? Andrew Marsden 20:12, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Never mind.... i realised the stupidity of my above question!!! ATMarsden 20:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Let me know if you want me to de-admin your old name after you've made your new account an admin/bureaucrat there. Angela (talk) 20:19, 23 April 2008 (UTC)

Madness (again :
Well i added to adoption a couple of minutes ago and the founder, whos conveniently is in the room next door to me, found out and removed it, then said he'd put top trumps wiki up for adoption, even though i edited on it minutes ago.I guess the only way to stop him if he removes it again is block him.Do you think thats what i should do?Also he has no plans to continue editing there.Sgtcook 20:57, 23 April 2008 (UTC)


 * If Kingcjc wants to be active on the madness wiki, it doesn't need the adoption notice any more. You don't need to worry if you don't want to be the admin there. Eventually, other editors will find the wiki and start helping out. Angela (talk) 21:01, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I asked him he said yes.Sgtcook 15:54, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

I am gonna adopt the Tolkyen-wiki
Angela, can ya please make me one of the Tolkien language wiki admins? I will adopt the wiki. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 06:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for offering to adopt it. Once you've made some edits there, I can make you an admin. Angela (talk) 07:35, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I will make some templates. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 07:47, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Is there any article content you could add? The best way to revive an inactive wiki is to add something that people interested in the topic will want to read. Angela (talk) 07:50, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * How many edits are required? I tried to ask you but I couldn't because of a edit conflict. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 07:52, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * There's no requirement like that. It's just usual for someone adopting a wiki to be already active on it. At the moment, the wiki isn't being used, which means there's not really any need for admins. Adminship only gives you a few extra tools for cleaning up the wiki. Is there anything you think you want to do that need admin access? If not, I suggest you simply work on the wiki for a bit longer as an editor. Angela (talk) 07:57, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Why: So I can edit MediaWiki pages and block vandal IPs. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 08:16, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

PS. I will do test-blocks on users named "Dagothtest(number)". Dagoth Ur, Mad God 09:15, 24 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I've warned a vandal IP. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 09:13, 24 April 2008 (UTC)

I would like to be an Tolkien admin now, please. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 01:42, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Metal
Hello Angela, could you please make me an admin on the metal wiki? Thanks!  • Hammerise

janitor behaviour.
Hello Angela, i would like to call your attention to the latest disruptive actions of one of your janitors. Would you be so so kind as to ask him to stop his destructive behaviour. I think this proves that he is the one that is sabotaging and provoking, not me. His actions are the only reason i abandoned two wikis i founded myself and which made me really hate Wikia because you let a guy like him go unchecked and even make him semi-staff. I would like to ask you to tell this guy to let off. I don't know him. He has been harassing me ever since het picked that fight on http://paradox.wikia.com.

Tell him to stay away from me. This is an official complaint. if this is not the right way to complain, i will do it by Email. 14:49, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * DGNeree, I strongly suspect that this is a vandal account and not the actions of a trusted and respected Wikia janitor. Why don't you calm down and politely ask for a Checkuser first before hurling accusations of vandalism at members of the community? -- Codeine 15:07, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Codeine, are you for real? If i remember well, you were the one calling me a troll on irc after which Manticore banned me. Your testimony of a trusted and respected janitor means nothing. I've checked the IP. It is Manticore. 15:30, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * I honestly don't recall, but if I did call you a troll, it would be because you were trolling. If you wish to discuss that or any other issue further, I suggest we take it to my talk page and not clutter Angela's.  My response here was intended to assist you in determining the true identity of the person who defaced your wiki in an attempt to keep a pleasant and respectable atmosphere within the community. -- Codeine 15:47, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

How could you possibly have my IP? -- Manticore   (talk)  15:52, 25 April 2008 (UTC)
 * Codeine, and how would i do that, since I was permabanned from Uncyclopedia by someone, i forgot his name, but who i remember only from spamming inanities on irc... oh yes, the Led balloon or something like that. I wasn't trolling then, even if it is possible to troll on #uncyclopedia. On the contrary: I have always objected to the way people there are subject to just the filth and the random degradation and op-abuse from which Manticore has obviously learnt a lot lately. But yes, let's leave angela in peace. i've said what i wanted to. Sorry Angela.  15:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry to hear oncyclopedia is being vandalised, but it's not a Wikia site, so I can't look into who is causing the problem. I have no reason to believe it's our Manticore. Vandals quite often take the names of respected Wikia or Wikipedia users when they're causing trouble. Angela (talk) 01:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Dagoth Ur, Mad God
Please do not make him an Administrator he is a vandal. He has been banned from UESP for constant vandalism, making death threats against other users, personal attacks, harrasment, making nonsense articles...etc. I have also banned him from the Elder Scrolls Wiki for simmalar offenses. Just thought you should know that before bestowing any responsibility upon him. - KAJ – Talk 11:07, 30 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the info. Angela (talk) 01:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * I specifically wanted to be one on the Tolkien Languages wiki. Dagoth Ur, Mad God 06:33, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

WidgetDashboard
On Special:WidgetDashboard, the "Most Visited" widget links to Special:Popularpages on "More...", a non-existant special page, when it should link to Special:Top/most visited. It only happens on the Widget Dashboard, though, so I thought you should know. --C Teng talk 00:40, 1 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing it out. I'll let the tech team know. Angela (talk) 01:02, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Update on Christian Music forum problems
Some of the problems I had with the forums are fixed. All I need is permission to access the Music Topics forum. Please thank the engineers for me. Will (Talk - contribs) 03:48, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Help
I am saying this hear as I keep getting blocked by Rs4life07 on the Call of Duty Wiki, I try to post am essage, but all he is doing is waiting to block me every time. Please stop it, I want to edit, but Rs4life is enjoying this, making this miserable for me. I have tried to end it, but he is not listening, he wants to be a power hungry admin, because of this, I will never edit again, because I am not feeling welcome. I want you to end this before it destroys the Call of Duty Wiki.

Hi, about game programming wiki
I think Game Dev Wiki is inactive. I would like to adopt it and in sometime, when I have written a bunch of articles, I would appreciate you to make me admin... or bureaucrat, I don't know if that is common policy for adoption. Moreover, I would have been bureaucrat if the wiki did not exist but it exists, so I am requesting it.

You may think why I request adminship before writing something useful there, the point is the main page is protected. Or you could unprotect the main for me to be able to edit it. As the page is protected I can create pages but nobody would see the links unless they watch Recent Changes or Special:Allpages.

I just beg you to unprotect the page. I could be of great help there as I have been a game programmer for 8 years and I have succesfully programmed more than 10 games.

Please... and thanks in advance...

RPGStarter Launch Preparations
Hi Angela! With the Age of Conan release a few days away, we were hoping to finalize the RPGStarter Wiki and prepare it for use as a template for MMO server wikis. However, for almost two weeks we have been unable to raise communications with our previous Wikia staff contacts involving this project. We feel that we have a very promising plan for using the RPGStarter, but without support, the wikis cannot go into operation. Would you be available to talk about this project with me in IRC, Skype, or whatever program you would be comfortable with? I should be available weekdays around 10:00AM and onward, Sydney time. Thank you! --TarrVetus 12:27, 5 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Kirkburn was apparently dealing with this. Let me know if there's anything you need me to do. Angela (talk)

Hello Angela, many thanks for your words Harry Potter Wiki is doing really well. This words from founder of Wikia are nice, and how are you? And I'm sorry, but I think that I didn't understand your utterance, so I'm sad:( Can you explain it me again? Best regards Karutalk 09:51, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Bot on Spamwiki
Dear Angela! The administrators of Hungarian Spamwiki (http://spamwiki.wikia.com) made a decision about the usage of a wikibot. We wish to do a probe with weblinkchecker.py. What must we do and who can help us? Thank you for your help; --blogadmin 07:34, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Namespace
Hi Angela, quick question. We at the Warriors Wiki held a vote to see whether we should create a new namespace for Roleplaying pages, or to make them as subpages on the RPsite's article, and the vote ends tomorrow. As of right now, the votes are Namespace:15 and Subpage:5. Almost (if not all) of our users have voted, and it doesn't look like the subpages will catch up. So tomorrow, can you create a new namespace named Role Play:? Thanks, Eu ( Talk! Contribs ) 16:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
 * The vote officially closed, and namespaces won. Eu ( Talk! Contribs ) 21:32, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
 * Also need Role Play talk:, if it's not automatic. Thanks, Eu ( Talk! Contribs ) 23:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Bueracrat
Hi Angela do you think I could be made Bueracrat for Elder Scrolls Wiki, so that I can make people Admins in the future? - –K.A.J•T•C•E• 16:19, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Protection/Semi-protection on Scratchpad
Hi, this is a question regarding Scratchpad that I hope you can answer. There are two articles there that are constantly vandalised and I was wondering if it was possible to semi-protect them from the barrage of IPs. ShadowUltra 01:36, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

AQWiki
Hi Angela,

Almost all the users and admins on AQWiki seem to be inactive. I posted a message concerning wiki.png on Lanesra2412's talk page on the 12th May, and I haven't had a reply yet. The only other activity I've seen on the entire wiki was Tudor2404. I would be happy to adopt this wiki myself, as I am a player of AQ. Thanks, 09:50, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

Archaeology Wikia
Hi Angela,

At some point in 2006, I joined the archaeology wikia, which had been abandoned and I volunteered to adopt it. Since then I had been away and the original founder has since left as well.

I am now hoping to get things going, with a number of academics I know from uni hoping to contribute, but the founder is no where to be seen. If you have access to his email address, could you please email him requesting his presence, or if not, could you please transfer sysop powers to me.

Many thanks,
