Serious vandalism in EVCHK
Dear Angela,

I am writing to report someone who pretend to be my user-name to vandalize in EVCHK (The Encyclopedia of Virtual Communities in Hong Kong). Please delete these accounts as below:


 * User:Tcshek*
 * User:Tcshek**

As the vandalism in EVCHK become worst, I want to ask for investigation in this issue.

Thanks for your help.

Best regards,

Tcshek (Tommy Shek)

--Tcshek 05:26, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
 * While we cant delete the accounts, they have been blocked permanently, and we have taken steps to prevent more of the same from happening. There is only so much we can do to prevent dedicated vandals without disrupting access for others. --Uberfuzzy 07:35, 23 October 2008 (UTC)

request
Hi Angela, my username is Dragonfly95 on Wikipedia.org, and I was wondering if you would be able to change it to Oxford1984. My eternal thanks if you could, as I am pretty sure you're a beaureaucrat. Thanks, Dragonfly95220.253.18.85 06:54, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but Wikipedia has a strict policy for changing names, so you need to follow the instructions at Wikipedia:Changing username. Since you have only 3 edits there, I would suggest you simply create the other name and start using it instead of going through the rename process. Angela (talk) 07:21, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Question
Hello, I've got a question. What staff is responsible for French? I'd like to tell him some things, whose should be done, e.g. help pages, templates like MediaWiki:Edittools and so on, whose are missing in every French wiki. Or can I create them by my own for the French wikis? Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 22:04, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I've replied here. Angela (talk) 01:05, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks and yes, I'd like to manage a French Central Wiki, like the German. I may become helper, you may know, if Avatar aksed you on thursady. It's in your hands. I'd really like to run a French Central Wiki. If you crate one, I'll work on it alredy tis evening. I saw you undestand a little bit of German? Funny, because I am German. ^^ Greeds, Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 10:17, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Can you do the request? I can't, because of I can't start a wiki with the name starting with a language code. Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 17:27, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * This now exists at w:c:fr. Angela (talk) 06:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks! Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 07:28, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I've got a problem: The link redirects to Central Wikia when I press it. Marta Ägnös (Diskussion, MUM, LC, DT, Wikia) 07:33, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry for not noticing that! I've reported the problem and hopefully it can get fixed today. Angela (talk) 07:53, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Advertise
Hello,

I have really many, many advertises on my wiki. Much more than on other wiki? How for have less? It's big windows on every pages. Is it possible to have advertises only on the right, in a column or something like that?

Thanks.

http://tory.wikia.com


 * It ought to have no more ads than normal. If you're logged in, you will only see one ad on the home page and none anywhere else if you're using the standard monaco skin. Please let me know if you're seeing more than that. Angela (talk) 06:16, 26 October 2008 (UTC)

Ask besides Zeyi
If has Chinese Wikia question to seek help, but also who can look for? Zeyi had already been missing, is nearly may the evaporation describe.-- 黑底屍 （ 找我 ） 03:04, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Zeyi is unable to enable the Wikia website member for a long time to contact with him, obviously he is not suitable the contact person who holds the post of the Wikia Chinese.-- 黑底屍 （ 找我 ） 03:09, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but Zeyi is away at a conference right now. Is there anything I can help you with? Angela (talk) 10:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Because my English ability is not good, some conditions are unable to express correctly accurately by English, therefore needs a Chinese contact person. If may, I whether can recommend a friend to replace KJ or Zeyi role?-- 黑底屍 （ &#9742;找我&#9742; ） 04:22, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Need To Revoke Admin Status
Hi, my name is Laura (aka Spike's Girl). My wiki is | http://thatguywiththeglasses.wikia.com/wiki/ThatGuyWithTheGlasses_Wiki.

I accidentally granted admin access to someone who I thought was a member of the ThatGuyWithTheGlasses website. His username is 2girls3acrowd. I caught him using his admin powers to block myself and the other admins off the site, as well as unblock a user who had vandalized one of the pages yesterday.

I have currently banned him, but would still prefer to have him off my admin list. Could you please look into this? Thanks.
 * Hi, I've removed his admin rights -- sannse (talk) 17:34, 27 October 2008 (UTC)

Backup Link
Dear Angie,

When I first set up my wiki and told you it was a back up, you stated that you could copy the pages of the most current version of the original to wikia. Is it possible to make that link constant and have the ability to break it if something goes wrong. This would instantly take any updates from the original and add it to the wikia here and would save alot of copy and pasting. Isd it possible? - Xanadu1 12:28 (GMT) 29th October 2008


 * I'll leave you a message on the lyoko wiki about this. Angela (talk) 13:27, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Requesting the closing/move of yuriba.wikia.com
Hello Angela. The admins and I at the Yuriban Encyclopedia intend to close our wikia. Please contact us with information on how to go about this?

Wikia
I believe I sent you an e-mail regarding creating new accounts. I'll just say it here. I'm an admin from a wikia, and I was just wondering why new user accounts are disables. Is there a problem going on? I have my account from a while ago, but other people cannot create accounts. It complains that it cannot register "at this time". Could this be something you could fix?-- ☆Tavis ource  -The smart boy with the power to stop you!  06:20, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

How to
How do i make a person sysop? My wiki about ACDC has a person worthy. FxC is the users name. How do i make the user sysop? Respond on my talk page. Thanks!ZZ Top 13:40, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

I am FeathertailxCrowfeather 4ever. FxC is a nick name, I thought you might need the full username...--FxC **The Waterfall** 13:45, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * If you are a bureaucrat on the wiki, you can make someone else a sysop by going to Special:UserRights, putting in their name, and checking the sysop box, and hitting save (entering a log message if you want to). --Uberfuzzy 15:51, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

TT Wiki
I've noticed the content has moved. I've also noticed my username, which was "I Lion Heart I" on that wiki, is listed as "Zeldapedia-I Lion Heart I" in pagehistory. I find that funny... --I Lion Heart I 16:12, 1 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi ILHI. I've sent you an email about this. Angela (talk) 21:34, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Reminder
Because Zeyi is unable to enable us to trust entrusts, therefore we will look for a familiar English voluntarily the friend will hold the post with the Wikia contacting contact person.-- 黑底屍 （ &#9742;找我&#9742; ） 07:07, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

IRC issue
As you may have been told, the Star Wars Fanon IRC channel (#swfanon) recently had a bit of a problem. One of the other SWF Administrators told me that on #swfanon IRC, all of the Operators had their flags removed so they could do nothing but basic operator commands, not being able to add to the Op list or anything else. This happened four days ago, within the same hour. The only ones who were not affected by this were the users Manticore, Jack Phoenix, you and possibly one other person. I'm told that Wikia and Freenode are clearing it out and should be fine by tomorrow, and that they won't be able to do it again, but if at all possible I would appreciate it if you would be able to tell me who did this so we can deal with this matter in accordance with our IRC policies. Thank you. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:03, 3 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello. I don't know who did this, but JSharp is going to sort out the problem and re-add the admins. Angela (talk) 22:10, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

I'll send him a message to see if he knows. Thanks. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 22:21, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Hitman Wiki
I am wondering if you may promote me to bureaucrat and/or sysop of Hitman Wiki. As of now there are no bureaucrats or sysops on Hitman Wiki. Also, recent vandalism/spam happened there. I understand if you are not willing to promote me as I have not been very active there lately. Personally, I would like those powers because times may call for those abilities.Y462 (Talk • Contributions ) 03:42, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Configure interwiki code in Uncyclopediae hosted by Wikia
Dear Angela, I have just received my first support request from Chinese Uncycloedia and need your help. May you help us to configure interwiki code for the following new Uncyclopediae to all Uncyclopediae hosted by Wikia?

Also, we would also like to have these ISO639-3 codes as an "Alias" of the following existing interwiki. (The original interwiki code still need to be kept, don't delete them)

Thank you very much. --Leeyc0 14:41, 4 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Dear Angela, what's the status about this? --Leeyc0 12:05, 9 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello. This hasn't been done yet, but will hopefully start working within the next week. Angela (talk) 06:23, 11 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi :) I just wanted to let you know that I've just made sure everything was added to the interwiki list and it should start working shortly -- JSharp (talk) 17:32, 14 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Dear Angela/JSharp, the link is still not working. You may see this for example. --Leeyc0 06:12, 17 November 2008 (UTC)

User levels
Well since you have been watching The Elder Scrolls Fanon Wiki, I suppose you know what this wiki is. Anyway recently I must say that the Golden Age of the Wiki has begun. To boost the Golden Age's effects and to encourage her too, I need you to install these User Levels. The User Levels are points that a user gains by editing. I believe that this will encourage the new users to edit, and others to joing the community. George Skywalker 20:55, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Demotion please.
A user from the Usertendo Wikia has resigned as the founder and given control to me and another user, and he requested demotion to a normal user. If you don't believe me, please don't hesitate to ask him yourself. Max2

http://zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com is blocked in China
Dear Angela, here is our comments about the situation of http://zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com. As you may already know, there is an extensive internet censorship in People's Republic of China (excluding Hong Kong and Macau), which is nicknamed "Great Firewall" (a portemanteau of "Great Wall" and "firewall"). http://zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com is one of the victim under the Great Firewall. However, which seems strange and self-contraditing, another Chinese Uncyclopedia (non-wikia, http://uncyclopedia.tw) is not blocked. Without the contribution of Uncyclopedians from PRC, Chinese Uncyclopedia would never be complete.

As a result, we believe that http://zh.uncyclopedia.wikia.com can be unblocked by Chinese goverment through negotiation. We believe that the unblocked request is best filed by the domain owner, i.e., Wikia. If you need assistance about the procedures of filing such request, you may contact me. (However, all of the Chinese Uncyclopedia administrators probably doesn't know much how to file such request either, including me. Anyway, we can seek for resources if necessary.) --Leeyc0 13:37, 5 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Hello. We have gone through these procedures, and Jimmy Wales has also been to China to meet with officials there, but so far we have not had any success in getting Wikia or Uncyclopedia unblocked. It is something which we will keep working on though. Angela (talk) 17:12, 5 November 2008 (UTC)

Changing nick
Hi there. I have made a lot of contributions using this nick. But I do not like it anymore. I registered a new nick: *David*. I think I could use that, but I would lose my edit count. So, I want to know if I can change this Davichito nick to *David* or just David, in case it is available. David 01:14, 6 November 2008 (UTC)

Artificial pancreas algorithm project pages
Hi Angela,

Thanks for your help resurecting and editing my wiki project. I'm begun working again, and you will see more progress now.

I'm having an issue with the word-wrapping inside of an editing page screen, which is making editing difficult. Can you help me with this?

Image help needed at Wrestling Wiki
Can someone help out with images at the Wrestling wiki:, a majority of the images uploaded are just taken from a German site. I don't know German, so I havent bothered to go to the site. I'm not sure if the site knows the user is doing it, or if the site even has permission to use those photos in the first place. From the looks of it, the editor just wants the Wrestling Wiki to have images right away: so he just takes them from the site. I've suggested using ones from Wikipedia (which are usually fine), but he refuses to listen. I don't know much about images and the policies about them, so I need some help. RobJ1981 08:18, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Creative Commons
Hi,

Sorry to take up your time, because I know you're one of the top people at Wikia, but I was wondering if Wikia would let projects switch to Creative Commons licenses? And by that, I mean the freest of licenses, no NC junk.

I started a Wikia wiki a few weeks back, and have purposely not told anyone about it yet, to build up a structure for the site, so when I let the community of people interested in the topic know, there isn't utter anarchy, but controlled anarchy.

As such, I'm the only contributor to the wiki (aside from a Wikia staff member that deleted some auto-created pages) and I'd like to change the wiki to CC-BY-2.5-CA (Creative Commons Attribution License 2.5, Canada). (The Canada part is because the wiki is about Canada's Wonderland, a theme park, and 99% of contributors to the wiki and readers of the wiki would be Canadian anyway. Would such a license be allowed, seeing that it still supports the free culture movement? --  CWikister 20:56, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

Hello, can I have a box like the one that you use on your user pages, even though I'm not a staffer/helper? Dancing Penguin (Talk to me! I dare you!) 22:52, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

Please Help!!
I need you to help me on Martha Speaks wiki, there's this really bad admin who keeps deleting his, and every else's, user talk page. And he keeps deleting articles and replacing them with his sloppy versions. I need you to either talk to him or give me admin abilities.

Proposed wiki
I proposed an Inkheart Trilogy wiki a few weeks ago, and have not gotten a reply. Would you please reply to it, because I have put together all my research for it already. Thanks, F  x  C  15:53, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
 * The only request by you on requests.wikia.com that i see, Inkheart or otherwise was made today. Please wait a few days for the Wiki request team to look at your request. --Uberfuzzy 22:36, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

IP Issue
Wikia is possibly messed up, and is mistaking my IP (98.226.32.129) for another IP. Here are the images.

Can you fix this, please? 98.226.32.129 09:50, 17 November 2008 (UTC)
 * This is a known server level problem. Our technical staff is working on a fix for this. You can avoid this problem by creating an account and logging in before making your edits, then you contributions will be attributed to your name, and not your IP. You can find links for these in the upper right corner of the screen. --Uberfuzzy 22:38, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Rights removal
At Star Wars Fanon, the members have overwhelmingly vote to remove administrative rights from Jack Phoenix. I'm going to assume that Wikia would want to make sure we were absolutely positive about this, and the answer is that we are. The current administrators are agreed upon this, as are over a dozen members (the total support for the removal of rights is 18 votes, with 1 neutral and 0 opposition). Therefore, if you could please remove administrative rights from Jack at Star Wars Fanon, that would be appreciated. Thank you. - Brandon Rhea (talk) 02:35, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * this was responded to, and handled by sannse elsewhere.

Ads on Runescape Wiki
I would like some ads to be removed from the RuneScape Wikia. The ads in question are against what our Wiki stands for - they advertise cheats, hacks, and offer faux guides that require giving out personal details. For those reasons, I ask that those ads be replaced with others that are not damaging to our Wiki.

The ads lead to the following adresses:
 * runescapehacks.info
 * pagead2.googlesyndicate.com
 * extremegpguide.com
 * Advanced-runescape.com

Thanks!

Copyright violation at Chinese Uncyclopedia
Dear Angela, we found that Chinese Uncyclopedia is being copied by 疯狂百科 (translated as "Crazy Encyclopedia") with unknown copyright status. Our site uses CC-by-nc-sa copyright. One of our adminsitrators contacted the site admin of "Crazy Encyclopedia", however we got unfriendly feedback from that site (blocked us), and even attempted to bring up a flame war and vandalize the pages at Chinese Uncyclopedia (and Traditional Chinese Uncyclopedia, which is not under the umbrella of Wikia). Our administrators had to apply a site-wide block for anonymous users during nights (UTC+8).

You may already know that Copyright violation is extreamly common in PR China. One of our administrators believe that this is the consequences of PR China imposing information censorship (including blocking Chinese Uncyclopedia), and he makes the following request to Wikia:

The point we wish to raise here is, not the vandalism happened, but rather the copyright violation issue. We wish Wikia to report to Chinese officials about copyright violation of "Crazy Encyclopedia" as a side effect of blocking Chinese Uncyclopedia.

He believes that if let the situation being unsettled, the others Wikia sites will be losers of copyright violation. Sorry for being a little bit tough, becasue our administrator felt that the situation cannot be tolerated any more. --Leeyc0 12:37, 25 November 2008 (UTC)
