adding
I am adding the other 1000+ articles wikis to the featured list (ConLang, RPG and Imagination). I am not adding Myra as I have to confess I am not sure what it is about. The only thing I know is it is a giant collaborative novel. ConLang is becoming active again, so I will feature it too.

I am redirecting Imagination to Creative: It is redundant.

About Uncyclopedia: I guess we can work with. Well, let's see the output. I just hope our wikis do not get vandalized by those psychos of Uncyc. :)

 * That looks great. I'm glad that you and I could work together on this, and come up with something that we're both happy with. :)


 * I wouldn't worry about the Uncyc folks coming to vandalize. They seem pretty busy on their own wiki. If you do have any problems, let me know and I'll be happy to help out. -- Danny (talk ) 23:51, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Uncyclopedia on Creative
Hello. It is Erick, again. This message is concerning Uncyclopedia in the creative hub.

The problem I see with Uncyclopedia it is not about imagination and creativeness but parodies, in many cases offensive ones, full of racism, hatred and obscenity. People entering on that hub will get a wrong impression about how the other creative wikis work, and I guess we would get really coarse content. Unlike the most of Uncyclopedia, we have rules, and our wikis are basically coarse-content free. The logo itself of the Creative Hub is the one of Uncyclopedia, and it worries me.

I would prefer a different hub for Uncyclopedia, Nonciclopedia and related projects, may be "Humor hub" or "Obscenity Hub". I think they already are on Miscellaneous and many other places.

My suggestion is an united Imagination/Creative Hub including the 11 creative wikis: Alternative History, Novelas, Myra, Constructed Worlds, Constructed Languages, Imagination, RPG, Quests, Basilicus, The Anglish Moot and Poetry. Thanks for your time.

P.S: Myra has a german section.

 * I think people can be creative in many ways. When you open the door to imagination and creative writing, some people will write beautiful stories, some will write sad stories, and some will write silly or offensive stories. Each wiki community has its own style, and attracts its own group of users.


 * Uncyclopedia is one of the most popular wikis on Wikia, with more than 500 active contributors every month. The content that they create is obviously not to your taste. Still, the site appeals to a large and dedicated user base, and I think every wiki community deserves our respect and appreciation. The world of creative writing can be big enough to hold all kinds of styles, and I hope that we'll continue to see even more variety in the future.


 * I'm glad you pointed out that using the Uncyc logo for the hub isn't a good representation of the hub as a whole. I just swapped in another logo that I'm sure you'll appreciate more. -- Danny (talk ) 19:35, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Creative Hub
I am adding the other creatives wiki on the Creative Hub. I was wondering if I can add some more wikis as Featured. Thanks!

P.S.: I will continue working on the Imagination Hub too. I feel like Uncyclopedia overshadows the wikis on Creative. Mighty Erick 13:59, 15 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Erick! That's great, I'm glad that you've added some of the wikis that I overlooked. Feel free to add some to the Featured list. I took out Myra Project, because that's a German wiki... We don't have hubs for the non-English wikis yet.


 * I'm not sure what you mean about Uncyc overshadowing the others... I think it's a nice model for the potential reach of Creative wikis on Wikia. It's silly and often profane, but it proves that there are a lot of people who want to write original content. The idea of the hubs is to help people who are normally on one wiki to find similar wikis to explore -- and being on the Creative hub may mean that the huge number of people who are writing on Uncyc will discover that there are lots of other creative outlets on Wikia. -- Danny (talk ) 14:16, 15 March 2008 (UTC)

Help Fix Skin
Hi, I wasn't sure what admin to ask about the new skin. Anyway, it got accidently deleted on the Terminator Wiki, could you stop by and fix it? Thanks! &mdash; Jeiara 00:23, 14 March 2008 (UTC)

NASCAR Wiki Update
Danny, it's Tim. I'm currently working at a filtered workplace, so I can't get to my personal email at the moment. I have begun working on the replacement of all "NASCAR" wordage with "The Third Turn" wordage. I never knew though, if you're planning to (or are able to for that matter) change the parent address from nascar.wikia.com to thirdturn.wikia.com. If so, please let me know soon if you can and when you expect for that to be able to happen. Thanks - Tim

WonderCon Contest Winner?
Hey there! I got an e-mail a few weeks ago informing me I had one the grand prize for the WonderCon giveaway. I e-mailed Scott back (Scarecroe), but I haven't heard anything back. :( What's going on?

Thanks! Rossr 00:59, 13 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Ross! I'm sorry, there must have been a crossed wire somewhere. I'll check with Scott, and make sure that he gets in touch with you so you get your prize. Thanks for checking in -- I'm sorry about the delay! -- Danny (talk ) 01:20, 13 March 2008 (UTC)

Spanish Harry Potter Wiki - Adoption
Hi. The Spanish Harry Potter wiki is currently inactive, and I want to adopt it. I'm sysop in 3 wikis, bureucrat in 1, rollback in 1 and normal user in a lot of other wikis. It isn't for adoption at the moment, but there's no activity, and I want to adopt. I'm waiting for your answer :-) 09:59, 9 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure! It looks like you've done good things on the other wikis you've worked on. Have you talked to Juan David? He's working to build up all of the Spanish-language wikis. Maybe you could ask him about an internship... -- Danny (talk ) 23:33, 9 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, I like editing on wikis, because I like writing. I'm talking about this to Juan David... but internship is very much for me. Anyway, I'm talking with him sometimes. About the adoption.. I see that I'm a Sysop, but I can't delete pages.. when I try, it said that I am not a sysop... anyway, I should not be bureaucrat? Because I'm adopting, and I think... Greetings, 14:30, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * That's strange, I thought you should have the ability to delete as a Sysop. But I've added you as a bureaucrat, so everything should work now! -- Danny (talk ) 16:55, 10 March 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, it works now... thanks! ;-) 17:22, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

Hello re: The Sherlock Holmes Wiki Adoption....
I got logged in and it took me to the editing page. Maybe it is taken care of now. I will work with it and thanks so much for helping.

Imagination Hub
Hello Mr. Horn. I am Mighty Erick, administrator of ImagineWiki. Mr. Hou told me you are in-charge of the Imagination Hub. The imagination hub is supposed to be only-for creative wikis, I think. Isnt it? Well, three non-creative wikis listed in that hub that are robbing space from the creative wikis.


 * Fantasy Wiki: It is about existent books and series, there is not creatve content. The feautured articles is about dragons in the media, and the most popular articles in an articles on Lord of the Rings. That is not a creative wiki, it belongs to Entertainment division.


 * SciFi Wiki: It is about existent sci-fi series: Star Wars, Babylon 5. What is it doing in our hub? (Belong to Entertainment)


 * Magic Wiki: It is a "How to do..." wiki on special effects and magic. No original content, belongs to... I do not know where does it belong, but it is not creative nor imaginative at all.

Those three wikis have to be removed out from our hub.

About the active list of imagination wikis: Can Imagine join to the "Active Wiks" list. We have three really actives users (Abcxyzzz, JuWki and me) and lots of minor users we have a constantly updated Main Page, over 1000 articles and by far more activity than ConWorlds and ConLangs.

The only totally-abandoned wikis are Basilicus and Quest. They have not updated their main pages since a long time ago, they have no administrators and Basiliscus is being openly vandalized. (Look Out! this and this and more stuff). So my suggestion is: Four wikis at active wikis list, and two wikis at "Adopt a tiny wiki" list. It would give some distinction to my wiki and it would attract some attention for Basilicus and Quests, they both really need help. THANKS Mightyerick 13:30, 2 March 2008 (UTC) (Talk at Imagine)


 * Hi Erick -- Yeah, the Imagination hub is definitely out of date. I didn't create the hub originally -- Yunzhong Hou created it, and added the Fantasy, Sci-Fi and Magic wikis to the hub.


 * I'm working on revamping the hub system a bit now. I'm going to be creating a Creative hub soon, which I think will be more to your liking. -- Danny (talk ) 16:16, 2 March 2008 (UTC)
