hi
Hi. I just meant to ask you, how do you delete those two wikias, because they were accidentaly created.

 * HI, please send an email to Special:contact with your request. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:14, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Problems
Why my logo does not change, even though yesterday I added a picture Wiki.png?

And left the bar, recent changes -list is not updated, it is all the time 1 second ago... My wiki is http://fi.lemmenviemaa.wikia.com--Djlordi 12:03, July 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, it may be that the cache hasn't cleared on our wiki yet. I have let the technical team know, and it should clear over the next day or two. Thanks for your patience. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:17, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

hello!
Hello! So I saw the above posts about searching Dead Rising in the search bar on Wikia.com. I tried it and all it shows is the other, underdeveloped wiki. Is there a way that you could make http://deadrising.wikia.com/wiki/Dead_Rising_Wiki show up as well? Thanks, --Mistertrouble189 04:53, July 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, just keep building out the content, and it will rise to the top! Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:18, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

Adobe update
I just got this on my talk page, by you: "Adobe has recently released an important security update - we recommend you update your Flash player to continue viewing Wikia at its best!" I normally get a notice for updates, so I checked the staff blog and your contubutions, and didn't see anythig related to it, is this a real update, and if so, what does it do? Jabberwock xeno 19:16, July 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, we just wanted to let folks know that Abode released the latest version of its Flash player, which has better sercurity measures. It was a friendly suggestion to help all of our users. For more details, tt's best to read more about on their site for more exact details. Sarah (help forum | blog) 22:07, July 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * ...Which tells me nothing XD. All it says is that it's a update. Oh well. Jabberwock xeno 22:19, July 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm also here to discuss this. It's way more than a security update this time. They totally overhauled the Flash engine, to the point where it will run on lower-spec machines. It's the first time I've ever wanted to upgrade not just because I had to. It's actually better. (Hope that helps you, too, Jabberwock xeno) --trlkly 03:42, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

R-type Wiki question (split from previous section)
( I was the unregistered contributor)

Thank you,

I have a deep concern about R-Type wiki missing a good amount of articles, witch is why I most recently added the Revo article (it was also misspelled [Reevo]). The entire TL fighter piece for R-Type Final is also missing ( I am hoping to fix that very soon, or at least as soon as a get a list of all the TL fighters, of which there are 5).

Hope someone helps so as to fix it,

NuclearHolocaust

PS: Help me Help Wiki, seriously.

I did it, I confess.
Hello Sarah,

For what it's worth, I am the author of the contest entry for the Solar Cooking Wiki (webmaster Tom Sponheim can verify this). I could have sworn I was logged in when I posted it (unless I was supposed to do the four tildes thing there....)SharonID 07:40, July 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your entry. There were lots of great wikis to choose from! Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:27, July 6, 2010 (UTC)

 * Great, thanks! Sarah (help forum | blog) 17:03, July 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Kewl; she's also got an adoption request in here:
 * Community Central:Adoption requests
 * I suggested this to her and also noticed another wikia about this soap:
 * w:c:days6510:DAYS_OF_OUR_LIVES_Wiki
 * nb: Her request is re:
 * w:c:daysofourlives:Days of our Lives
 * I suggested that they might be 'merged'. I don't know what the '6510' or 'btbs' means and I may be missing something.
 * I'll refer other en:wp editors to Wikia as needed.

Ikariam Wiki ITALIA
Hi Sarah! I'm new to Wiki and I've just creted two wiki sites:

Europe1400

Ikariam Italia

I've put the new logos in both wikis but I realized that the one in Ikariam doesn't fit in the box, so I tried to change it, but no way! I followed the same procedure of the first logo change, but the logo still remains the same even if I uploaded a new image.

I've read the help guide for logos but still don't know how to change it.

Thank you for helping me.

I am bullied by Charitwo
Please excuse me if you are not the one to go, for I apologize. And this happened to me. Please, by all means remove this picture when you are done as it takes up quite some space when done with it. Peter Griffen Boy 19:37, July 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * If you have a problem on a local wiki, you need to talk to the admins there. If you continue to have an issue, you can email us at Special:contact. Cheers, Sarah (help forum | blog) 23:45, July 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Charitwo is a VSTF guy. He bans for me the dumbest reasons on IRC on #wikia. He is always the one that bans me. I left you a new message at the bottom with more info. Peter Griffen Boy 17:47, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

Checkuser request
Hi Sarah, could you do a checkuser for me please.

On these three users, and see if any of them are from the same IP. Also can you check to see if any of them are from New York.


 * User:Bullygirl
 * User:JennyVincent
 * User:Kateharrington

Thanks Dan the Man 1983 00:10, July 9, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Dan, can you send an email to Special:Contact about this and include what wiki you are interested in? It is the best way for us to answer these types of requests. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:15, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

I am being bullyied by a VSTF user by the name of charitwo

 * Me and him have been having a long amount of ugliness. He's banned me twice, and each time it was overturned. It is often for stupid reasons, such as one time I got banned, when I typed nothing, nothing at all. Another time Charitwo was completely off topic, I asked him to get back on topic, banned. One time my friends were on my computer, changing my nick, banned. I tried explaining to Joeyaa and Charitwo to what happened, and neither one helped me. Charitwo ignored me and Joeyaa said "Well that computer is banned." and said I was nick spamming, but all I did was quickly try to change my name, but it was to late and I was banned. I get no warnings. Oh yes. I remember One time I user was spamming cap locking and typing short messages; flooding, all that annoying hell. I told him to stop or he would be blocked, but I accidentally hit caps lock. Guess what, that guy who was flooding, didn't even get a warning, he got to go free, but I got banned. Most of the time these bans have been overturned. It has been Charitwo who has blocked me without warning for the dumbest of sorts. Another user Nelo Angelo97 has had similar experiences. I was requested by IRC staff to change my name after my friends changed my name, I tried telling them that, but Joeyaa beat around the bush and Charitwo ignored me. I do apologize for any trouble given and if this is the wrong person to message, could you please point me where to file a complain? Thank you for giving me some of your time, as I am sure as a Wikia "general" your time must be valuable. Peter Griffen Boy 05:02, July 12, 2010 (UTC)

For some strange reason, my computer will not allow me to upload some pictures I have screen captured. However. I have two pictures and a copy of paste of what happened twice of my blocks. http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Peter_Griffen_Boy/Bullied_by_Charitwo_part_2. < That link is when he blocked me for accidently typing one small sentence in caps lock, by accident. I tried to explain, and I was ignored. http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/User_blog:Peter_Griffen_Boy/I_am_bullied_by_wikia_staff< although that is text form, I have not said a word, and Charitwo bans me. The second part is where I tried to get him to tell me why he banned me, again, I just got nothing of an answer. Peter Griffen Boy 17:43, July 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Peter, As I mentioned above it is best to discuss this through Special:Contact. Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:48, July 14, 2010 (UTC)

Photo galleries, recent pictures
Hello,

Firstly, thanks for your continued work on Wikia. The constant updates that you guys do makes wiki-editing worthwhile! Thanks. One of these updates is the photo galleries you've added, which I think are great. The one where you can look at "recently added images" works well, but I can't add any links. Is it possible to add links to this? And if it isn't, a future update which would add that would be good.

Thanks, Bethel23 19:37, July 15, 2010 (UTC)


 * Did you miss my message? :) Bethel23 05:58, July 17, 2010 (UTC)

Please Undo
Hello, I am a very big editor at two wikis and i have noticed (and been infuriated) by the new Gallery's. I loved gallery because they were neat and nice, Now you need to put coding and all this other junk to TRY to get what you want. The spacing is terrible and quite rankly i hate the new gallery's. The Gallery's are no longer net, They AREN'T! Now i enjoy wiki and all the time i spend here but now my image of wiki is bad because of gallery's. My wiki friends have taken gallery off or switched to the space taking not as well liked Slideshow. Now i have a terrible time editing wiki with images and at the wiki i am at gallery's are needed! Is there ANY possible way that we can get the old gallery back unless the coding the user who likes*shivers* this format. Please i just want the old gallerias back. Thats all i want for my fun wiki time i am very OCD and like things organized on wiki. Please one wiki is starting a petition to ask you to undo these changes, that has to mean something :(.

Thank you for your time. Ken zen   Elev  en!  07:29, July 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Kenzen Eleven!, the best place to provide feedback is on the blog post on the new galleries (it helps up to have feedback all in one spot). Thanks, Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:25, July 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hey Sarah, I have a question. Can you please change the galleries back to original? 22 minus 1 users on the Camps wiki don't want it. See? Oh, and do you mind looking at my uglt Total Drama Island Camp Wiki User page and see it's ugly gallery (I hope that doesn't offend you, sorry)? Here. Scroll down to Total Sprink Character Editing 2, and look. Also look at "Total Kenny Recolor School". The sizes are way different. I hope you take this into consideration. Please reply on my talkpage. Signed, MTDM. -- Dr. Totaldramaman You want an appointment? Then talk to me. 21:09, July 19, 2010 (UTC)

I Am Alive Wiki
Hi, I've decided to start an I Am Alive Wiki, but there is already one so I'd like to adopt it, seeing there are no contributors, the creator abandoning it after TWO edits.. one to a page and another to the main page. This way I can delete, move, do other admin things to try and build the site. Also, could you rename it to I Am Alive instead of I am alive? Thanks! --Mistertrouble189 02:51, July 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, thanks for your note, but the best place to request this is on our adoptions page. Best of luck, Sarah (help forum | blog) 16:00, July 21, 2010 (UTC)

This is bornin

From Kingdom Hearts FF
You won't have to worry about the situation, it was resolved the minute I resigned as Administrator. I was under pressure, and my fellow administrators, who had nothing to do with my actions, were being attacked because of this. My only option was to resign, it seemed no matter what rules I admited to breaking or vowed to follow in the future, no matter what guidlines me and the admins created to stop this from happening again, the users who started the whole debacle simply had a personal vendetta against me.

They use fancy words and numerous guidelines, but no matter how many times I admitted guilt, apologized, or try to settle the matter, they kept fanning the flames and riling me and others up. Said users wouldn't rest until they had my head on a platter. My resignation however must have been second-best, because they ended the conflict as soon as I was gone.

I'm asking for someone to investigate those users, they simply crossed the line. They abused and harrased the wikias' admins, two of which I said were innocent. I was wrong, willing to accept responsibility and change my ways, but I didn't deserve the onslaught of abusive messages from users like "Kajalamorth" or "Xerruy", who relentlessly hounded me to the point of having to quit to get some peace and quite on the talkpages!

I'd like to return and turn over a new leaf, change things like you said to get some more growth. But that will never happen if those users are waiting in the shadows for my return, to start another witch hunt agianst me.

 * Hello, thanks for the explanation. At this point it is probably best to join another more welcoming community. There are tons out there that could use your help. Best, Sarah (help forum | blog) 18:38, July 23, 2010 (UTC)

Quick Questions about Achievements
I saw in your blog that there is a feature called "Achievements" which gives awards for edit counts to curtin article types. I'm looking for information as I'm interested in adding it to Ghostbusters Wiki, and maybe a few other wikis. I prefer places on how and what to do to do it and how it determines how it counts.

There are problems on Custom Bionicles. A user is being weird, and the database is locked so I cannot contact an admin or anyone else. I have sent a message to wikia, but I need help. Varkanax39

Mass Vandalism By Administrator
Hello, I have run into a problem while managing my Wikia. An user of Patapon Wiki was given the rights of a administrator by someone who I don't know the identity of, and this "administrator" deleted the front page, and locked the DATABASE of the Wikia. I need help on reversing his damage, and I have already blocked this user. Send help ASAP. Thank you.

Help.
Uh, I recently went to the I Am Alive Wiki and saw that all my articles have been emptied out due to "copyright reasons" and that the game needs to be released. Look here. ...is this legit? I got all the information and images from the forums located on the Ubisoft site for I Am Alive. What's the copywright violation? --Mistertrouble189 20:05, August 5, 2010 (UTC)
