Community Central:Adoption requests

Chowder Wiki (On hold)
Hello again, it's me User:The Forgotten Beast. I am here because the Chowder Wiki's founder, User:Themaddog has apparently orphaned his wiki as he has not been active since May 23 2008, and because he was the only admin on the site to keep everything in order the wiki has been plagued by high amounts of vandalism and irresponsible users. My request is not to adopt it, what I really request is for a regular member of the wiki to get promoted to admin or rollback status, or for a staff member from central wikia to go to the wiki and block the harassing users, if my request is denied I have no objections.

-The Forgotten Beast 19:56, 30 December 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing out the problem -- I've announced the need for a new admin at http://chowder.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:New_Admins%3F . Feel free to nominate yourself. — Catherine (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Blue Dragon wikia (Declined)
I just started to contribute a whole lot to the Blue Dragon wikia page. the main page needs work and some things need to be deleted and or changed that I cannot do since i'm not an admin there. The Blue Dragon wikia is abandoned pretty much, the admin there "SuperSephiroth" has pretty much abandoned that wiki. if I was granted admin rights I would fix the main page up, delete stuff not needed and make the page look cooler.


 * Hi -- it appears that SuperSephiroth has been making edits over the last few days. I suggest you talk to him about how to earn admin rights on the wiki.  — Catherine (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Books Wiki (On hold)
Hi there!

I would like to adopt the Books Wiki, but there's only one problem: I haven't made any official edits there yet because I don't want to use the wiki like it was originally intended to be used for. I want to make a books hub wiki like the Entertainment Hub Wiki, and this is because the Entertainment Hub Wiki has next to nothing for books, except for the usual Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and Chronicles of Narnia.

I tried to work on just a regular hub page here on the Central Wikia for books, but Merrystar redirected the page back to the Entertainment Wiki Hub and protected the page. Her reason for that is the it had only fanon links on it. I knew that. I had copied the fanon hub page as a starter guide to put links to book wikis, but I had to quit working on wikis for the day, and I couldn't finish my work.

I do highly doubt that I'll get accepted to adopt the Books Wiki and turn it into a hub, so if someone has suggestions and advice for me, I gladly accept it!

Happy 2009!!,

--Jonathan W. My talk page / My contributions / Send me an email 04:45, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Jonathan -- are you familiar with the Literature wiki? They have a lot of fantastic pages about books and authors and it would be a shame to try and duplicate all that hard work.   I suggest you discuss your ideas with the community there while I discuss the possible future of the books.wikia site with other staff members, and maybe we can come up with some good ideas.   — Catherine (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

EndWar wiki (Accepted)
- contributions Hi! I think that the EndWar wiki DEFINITELY needs some sprucing up. It has been inactive since the game came out, and still has speculation from fans and reviewers if the game will include different things. I would like to help out and recruit more users. I would also help out sprucing up the main page, putting featured articles with bi-weekly changes and cool screenshots from the game. EndWar is big, and the current wiki just isn't up to the task of fully harnessing it's potential. I am also at work getting more users to come help. I apparently now have some adminship but I do not think I have bureaucrat.

Thyrfa 22:11, 1 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It appears that User:CommanderTony has given you admin and bureaucrat rights on the wiki -- please use them well! — Catherine (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

Just wondering, how do you promote people to Sysop? Thyrfa 11:14, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * You can use Special:UserRights to promote people to adminship. Please be sure you are following local policy -- only Wikia Staff can remove adminship.  — Catherine (talk) 21:33, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

w:c:Biology/Biotechnology/Chemistry/Biochemistry (On hold)
Hello, this may seem like an odd request, and I'm not entirely sure if it goes here. I just found out that there are wikis for each of the above topics, however they all appear to be abandoned. I haven't made any edits to any of them, but I plan to over the next couple of days, and into the future, however I was wondering if these wikis could all be merged into one wiki concerned with all the natural sciences (biology, chemistry, and physics). This would allow for more ease of editing, and would most likely increase interest in editing, since a user could write articles for each topic in one place. As a molecular biophysics student going for a PhD, I have a lot of knowledge about all these topics, and think they should all be centralized under one wiki.

Thank you, Ugluk 02:54, 2 January 2009 (UTC)

(I am also an administrator on the adult swim wiki, however I have pretty well abandoned it. Working on this new wiki would be part of my research career so to speak)


 * We had hoped the original requesters for these wikis would do enough to justify separate wikis, but if they are abandoned we are certainly willing to merge the biology topics.  I feel the Chemistry wiki will probably still merit a separate wiki.


 * I suggest that you choose one of the wikis to work on and start to create a main page and/or category system that outlines what you have in mind.  Once we've had a look at your ideas and have seen your dedication to the topic, then we can begin merging and redirecting the other wiki urls as needed.   We can also change the name and url of the site you are working on, if the merged wiki requires it.  — Catherine (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I don't see that you've made any effort on any of these wikis, Ugluk. Are you still interested in this project?  — Catherine (talk) 21:33, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Looney Tunes Wiki (On hold)
I have been very interested in trying to find every Looney Tunes episode and put in on the Looney Tunes Wiki, but when I wanted to contact the person who runs the wiki, I found that the wiki was inactive! So I wanted to know if I could pick up this wiki, add a page for every episode I can possible, and maybe work on the logo. --Markham2020 04:33, 2 January 2009 (UTC)


 * There have been many other contributions this month, thought it looks like the editors may not be staying around for sustained effort. Please begin editing and working on meeting the guidelines at the top of this page, with special emphasis on greeting other editors and trying to get them to continue working on the project.  In two weeks we'll be happy to evaluate your edits and give you the tools.  We'll be happy to help upload a logo in the meantime, if you have one ready.  — Catherine (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Markham, you haven't made any edits on this wiki yet -- have you lost interest? — Catherine (talk) 21:33, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

Arrested Development Wikia (On hold)
I'd like to adopt the Arrested Development Wikia if possible. I've created a great deal of new templates, and have reformatted some of the pages to be more aesthetically pleasing. In addition, I have changed the look of the main page as well. I've been attempting to gather other users as well by placing a welcome template on their talk page. I've made strides in creating templates to be used on character pages, as well as on episode pages. --ChristianShephard 04:40, 3 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Excellent work! It looks like there are a few other active editors on the wiki though, who should have a say in who becomes admin.  Can you please talk to them about whether they have any objections to you using the admin tools?  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It looks like you haven't made any more edits to the wiki or talked to the other users about becoming admin there. Are you no longer interested?  -- Wendy  (talk ) 16:07, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Ship Simulator wiki (On hold)
Hello, I was just calling in to say that I have been gone for many months and my newly started wiki has gone missed. Whats more I have forgotten my username and password for my ship sim wiki and cannot log in. In fact, I think my account was deactivated because it wasn't used, because I think my username was King Luxury and it says that username does not exist. So, on my new account, could I get back some admin tools please so I can really administrate it rather then update it. - GloatyGloat 9:00, January 3 (UTC)

Thanks.


 * The w:c:shipsimulator wiki exists, with 48 articles in it, and the User:King_Luxury account also exists and has a verified email address -- you should be able to request a new password for it; that account can then give admin rights to the GloatyGloat account if you prefer to use that one. In the meantime, can you please open a discussion with the other active editors on the wiki about your reasons for adoption?  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Aah, so it was King_luxury, not king luxury. I would think that my verified e-mail is my second one which stopped sending emails. It still recived them, though - so I hope I can retrive my account.


 * Thank you - able to log in now, ill make my other account, GloatyGloat an administrator now, thanks for your help! This ship simulator adoption reaquest is closed (can I write "closed aboove? or is that just a staff option?)

DragonFable wiki (Declined)
Hi ,I edit df wiki very often and was wondering if i could even admin it.I would love to help and the only reward I want is adminship or atleast beaurocrat rights

yours hopefully, Artix474 12:22, 4 January 2009 (UTC)


 * This page is only for adopting inactive wikis. Since there are several other active editors on this project, you will need to start a conversation on the wiki about who should gain admin rights.  Once all editors have decided, we'll be happy to grant them where the community chooses.  Thank you for your interest!  — Catherine (talk) 02:03, 5 January 2009 (UTC)

hey cthrene have u even checked my contributions ,if u visit dragonfable wiki u see the (usuallly)everyday im the only one in latest activity list and i dunno who the heck(if someone thinks "heck"is a bad word then sorry)is admin there so i will be happy even if u made me something lower than admin ,is it impossible to be a beaurocrat of a wiki u dont own?Artix -Human paladin 16:54, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Playstation
Questo Wiki è inattivo ormai da tempo, credo da più di 60 giorni, credo che sia necessario ravvivarlo e sfruttarlo a dovere, sono in grado di effettuare questo compito diventandone amministratore.

ALF Wiki (Declined)
I want to adopt ALF Wiki,please. --Arruina Cumpleaños 20:53, 5 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi I can't see that you have ever actually made any edits on this wiki. Please look at the guidelines for adoption at the top of this page, and ask again when you meet them!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 15:54, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Special requests for Wiki Adminship(Hong Kong Wikia/zh-hk)
Emm...I'm one sysop of The Encyclopedia of Virtual Communities in Hong Kong(EVCHK), it seems that I didn't meet the minimum requirements for asking Wiki Amidships. But I just wanna give attention to Hong Kong Wikia(HKW).

As growing articles in EVCHK, some articles seem more suitable for HKW. Moreover, these two Wikis can be regarded as sister projects for different focus, one from Network Communities, the other from Real World.

However, the founder of HKW has been inactive at least 30 days. For letting members of EVCHK easier handle two wikis, it needs base administration and contributions for HKW.

I think one possible solution is to let whole sysop group of EVCHK also be sysop of HKW, until the HKW community grows larger. However, other solution is also welcomed. --疾風綾希 17:07, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

Polish LinuxWiki adoption
– Wiki – My contributions

Hello. I'd like to adopt Polish LinuxWiki. When I enter there first time, there was only a few articles copied from Wikipedia. I've made a big changes including categorisation and I started writing about commands in Linux. New users has a welcome template, as said in guidelines. The actual administrator is inactive since 26. May 2007, so quite long.

Villains Wiki (On Hold)
Well I have been on this wiki for about 1 to 1 and a half months. My friends and I have noticed that there is no one truly leading the wiki, and so I have come to the conclusion that I, myself, should attempt to become the new leader. With me the wiki will become a fountain of knowledge of villains. I, Thesecret1070 will make it a great place and do my best. If it is abandoned then I shall fix everything in it and delete bad articles that have nothing to do with villainy.


 * Hi. I think it's great that you are working so hard on this wiki.  I see a few issues with your request.  The first is that you have unwelcomed contributors on the site; a wiki admin is also responsible for welcoming new contributors and helping to make the wiki more of community.  Could you please customize/create a welcome template and start doing welcomes?  Secondly, although you say that you have talked it over with your friends, I can't see anywhere on the wiki where you did that, and I am unclear if your friends are the people on the wiki or not.  Could you please post a message (on either a forum, or Talk:Main Page or someplace public) saying that you would like to adopt the wiki and asking other contributors to comment on your request?  I can help put up a sitenotice so people will see this.  Since there are several other people contributing to the wiki it is important that the whole community agrees on a new admin.   -- Wendy  (talk ) 15:49, 15 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Well I have talked to my friends about it, mainly Deathwalker 13000. He's my friend we go to the same school, so we talk about it normally at school. ~Thesecret1070


 * I see you've asked them about it, and that's great. Please also set up a welcome template and welcome any other users that are around.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:01, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Ummm....there's already a template...so it won't allow me to make another. ~Thesecret1070

Inheriwiki (On Hold)
I have been a member of Inheriwiki for nearly a year, but have only been active in the past few months. The administrators have been inactive on Inheriwiki since June, so I decided that that I would try to adopt the wiki. I have made many edits to the wiki (link to my contributions), and have stopped some vandalism, which is more common now that the admins have been inactive. However, if you decide I'm not able to adopt Inheriwiki, then I will ask you to consider Drewton, who has also made quite a few helpful edits. (Drewton's contributions link)

Iner22 17:47, 7 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. I think it's great you want to adopt this wiki. There are several active users on it, so please post on the community portal or the "request for adminship" area and let other users have a chance to comment on your request.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:59, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Harvest Moon Wiki request (Withdrawn)
The Administrater has been inactive for more than 60 days. I am the Co-administrater of the site and contribute a lot to the wiki. I feel like I can do a lot to help this site by getting administration rights. I promise to beef up the wiki as much as I can if I get Administration rights. The link (If you need it) to the site is The Harvest Moon Wiki. I promise not to repeat the mistake that Disco Steve (Past Administrater) and Mistral93 (Current Administrater) have done. Please consider giving administration rights to me. I have been a member of the harvest moon wiki since June of 2008 and have done as much as I can to contribute to the site. I feel like I deserve to be the Administrater of the site.

-Thank you for reading
 * But you're already an administrator and a bureaucrat there. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 01:41, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * According to this, you've been an administrator since July 29. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 01:44, 10 January 2009 (UTC)


 * So I do have Administration Rights? If I do you can go ahead and delete this request.
 * Yes, you have those rights already, and no, this request should be left here for archiving purposes. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 17:19, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Monopoly
I have contributed alot to the Monopoly over a long period of time, and for the latter half of my involvement, the admin has left the wiki. He has evenb stated on his user page that he has left to work on a different one. There are some active users, but none have talk pages, except for 'Diceroller', who has been active for one day.

If you let me adopt it, when he has contributed more, I will gladly give him Admin rights.--Matt 20 1 06:19, 10 January 2009 (UTC)

CP Polish Wikia
I would like to adopt Polish Club Penguin Wikia. I have never owned any wikia, but I know things about Club Penguin, and I would like to make solutions for this game even more popular for reading on this wiki. Most articles are nearly stubs, and I would try to revive them. But there are no templates, and I could add them. And I need to add some more information, but I can do it only, when i get admin permission. Thank you for reading. PS:Here is the link if you need it.

Contributions

Hi, I'm not sure how long the admin has to report but it's been a while, I would like to take over if its possible. Thanks FusionFaller 23:07, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, today it's exactly 2 months since the owner last edited (November 12, 2008), I think I have all the requirements and really want to change the colors to make it more apealable for new edits. It seems that nobody is answering adoptions requests however. FusionFaller 08:44, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

My contributions

With the exception of my contributions, this wiki has been completely dead since October. I have no administrative involvement with any other wikis at this time. I am the only one currently contributing to this wiki's content at all. There are no other users (yet) to greet, so unfortunately, I haven't been able to welcome anyone. :D I have been welcoming new users. The wiki is in such a "beginning" state that almost any effort will be an improvement. Thank you, I am, Sincerely, David A. Wilson AKA "Mindraker" Mindraker 23:06, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Wackypedia

 * This Wiki from Wikia: 1
 * And my contributions: 2

I would like to adopt this wiki that was formerly known as Illogicopedia until it was renamed as Wackypedia and left there for adoption. The admins are inactive, along with the users and the last edit was last month.
 * There hasn't been any contributions recently since Wackypedia has been closed to editing. It is currently undergoing a major clean-up in order to start over as "Wackypedia". If you're interesting in rebuilding the wiki please contact Wikia at [mailto:community@wikia.com community@wikia.com] as stated in w:c:wackypedia:MediaWiki:Sitenotice. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 13:41, 13 January 2009 (UTC)

I'd like to adopt http://soldierfront.wikia.com/wiki/Solder_Front_Wiki
I'd like to adopt http://soldierfront.wikia.com/wiki/Solder_Front_Wiki because I already have a website dedicated to Soldier Front, but it would be MUCH more efficient to use a wiki layout... Also, if I edit all these pages before I adopt the wiki, they may just be trashed by "vandals", my website is sfrontonline.com/forum and has 22,000 posts, and over 1000 members. (If needed, I can provide proof that I am the owner/caretaker of these forums). I also have a popular youtube channel, which is dedicated to the education of this game. http://www.youtube.com/user/KelseyMFJohnson I have over 2500 subscribers, and have over 700,000 video views total. (I can also prove that I am the owner of this youtube aswell) Since I have already dedicated so much to this topic, just in a different "place" I think I am fully ready and trained to take on this wiki. The person who made this wiki hasn't even made ONE topic. If I am made administrator, I have others that are ready to help. Such as getting information, pictures, and much more.

Please think about your decision, KelseyMF

Shaman King Wiki
I have been working on the page for about a years time, and it is going quite well. When i found the page, it had only a couple of bad copies of the Wikipedia pages and i have been working on adding pages and cleaning up those that was already there ever since, but also because there a lot of character pages that needs to be deleted that cannot just be used as redirects.

Mariah Carey Wikia
Hello,

I'd like to take over the Mariah Carey wikia. It doesn't appear that its been looked after for quite a long time now, so I've spent the last few weeks tidying, re-organising and trying to get it better laid out before I start really filling it out with new information. I'm hoping to have increased the number of articles on the wikia to over 100 articles before too much longer.

Brothers in Arms Wiki
Hey,

I'd like to take over the Brothers in Arms Wiki as it has been very inactive, in the space of nearly a month only a total of 50 (estimate) edits. I would like to take it over even though I have only edited once or twice cos i am busy on Halopedia and Halo Fanon but I am free now to devot my time to this clearly struggling wiki.

Thanks,

ODST Joshie

Forgot to add I am now creating Templates.

Bear Behaving Badly Wiki (declined)
I'd like to adopt the Bear Behaving Badly wiki. It hasn't been edited since Febuary 2008 and me and my little brother watch it (I may be a bit old, but it's funny). There seems to be only one person at that wiki (the founder) and only 5 articles. I have seen every episode and my brother knows everything about it. I may be new, but I've been visitng wiki's before, I didn't edit, but I know how they work.

-- Loopy-Loopy 13:58, 16 January 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. It's great that you are intersted in this wiki.  However, I can't see that you have made any edits to it yet yourself.  Please start editing the wiki and work on it for 2 weeks.  Check out the other criteria for adoption at the top of this page.  Then ask us again.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 17:46, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Pittsburgh Steelers Wiki
Hello there!

My name is I Ross I, I am a current editor at the Pittsburgh Steelers Wiki and I would like to attain Administrative and Bureaucrat rights there. Here is my contribs to the Steelers Wiki.


 * Questions and Answers

Is the wiki inactive? Yes, I believe the last edit on the wiki was about 1 year ago. Here is the recent changes if you need to see that. Yes, the founder (the only admin and 'crat) has not been active in the past 60 days. I have also sent a message regarding the wiki to his talk page and by email.

Are you eligible to adopt? Yes, I have not founded, adopted, or received sysop powers on any wikias in the past 60 days. No, I have not been blocked on any wikis and I hope that I never do.

Are you contributing to the wiki's content? Yes, I have been contributing to the wiki since January 6th, 2009. I haven't reached the two weeks requirement yet but, if you need me to wait until two weeks have passed, I will be more than happy to oblige. I have been working on creating, expanding, categorizing, and adding images to all the pages. I have created over 20 pages and counting. I have also been working on the main page by adding information, images, colors, and links. Here is my edit count to the wiki.

Are you building the community? Yes, I have made some small adjustments (new image, links) to the welcome template. I haven't been able to welcome new users with the template since there haven't been any, including IPs but, I will welcome any new contributors when I get the opportunity. Again, since there haven't been any new contributors I haven't been able to communicate with a community but, as said before I will once the chance comes.

Additional information/comments. I have submitted a request for a new logo and skin to the Logo Creation Wiki. I also was wondering if you could possibly give me some information on how to attract new users to the wiki? I have already added links to the wiki at Wikipedia and the NFL Wiki.

Please consider my request, as I hope to create a prosperous wikia that will set the bar for sports related wikis.

Thanks,

I Ross I Talk
