How many edits have you made on that wiki? * 50+

'''How many days/months have you been editing there? '''* Only for a short amount of time, though I've been a member since early 2011.

On the Special Pages -> Special:ListUsers when was the last time an admin edited, and who was it? Me, a few days ago, but only for a small edit. Before that? - more than a year...

Any other information:  Baldur's Gate has long been a troubled area, mainly due to the founder creating it, making 5 edits, and then leaving it - no bureaucrats or admins. I convinced a wikia staff member to make me an admin nearly a year ago, but with no support and a busy life, I unfortunately found that I could not seriously commit. During my inactivity, another user (Thomaslove92) became enamored with the BGWikia, but found it hard to do much without any authority, so he made his own testing grounds - the baldursgategame.wikia.com. I have recently come back and spoken with him, and he has agreed to help me merge the two wikias back into the original, but without leadership or central authority, this will be very hard. Even though I'm already an admin, I humbly request being made a bureaucrat in order to form a proper and workable hierarchy. * My lackluster editing not withstanding, I have held back making any edits until the merge is complete...and we have not started the merge, due to lacking a bureaucrat. For a slightly more convincing resume, I invite you to the Deus Ex wikia where I have made 250 edits in less than a month.

1st alternative:  Make Thomaslove92 a bureaucrat. Being the founder and primary editor of the secondary manifestation, he has made nearly 3000 edits over the past year on his own wikia, and would surely be a worthy bureaucrat on the original.

2nd alternative:  The primary concern is the url - baldursgate.wikia.com being the cleaner of the two versions is prefered, despite the other (baldursgategame. _ ) being more developed. If it is possible to completey delete the original and change the secondary to the originals url, that would essentially solve our predicament.

Thanks in advance for any assistance you can grant us in this matter. Dsurian 22:43, December 25, 2012 (UTC)
