Any other information: Hello there, to anyone who’s reading this. I am writing to you to inform you that I want to become the new owner of the Trevor Henderson Inspiration Wiki. Now, I know this is the 6th time someone tried to adopt the Trevor Henderson Inspiration Wiki, but after looking through all 5 of them, I have seen that no one really has explained the issue, so hopefully what I am gonna type here will get you a better view and context of why there's been many people trying to adopt said Wiki. But before I do start to talk about why I should become an admin, I want to explain that when I was studying the previous adoption forms before and during making this form, and I found out that one of your staff team members stated that the wiki isn’t eligible for adoption due to multiple people still editing on the website, and I just want to say that the reason of trying to “make the wiki not abandoned” is not the reason why I want to adopt the Wiki.

The biggest problem here, and the reason why I want to adopt the Wiki in question, is that there are no active admins/owners in the Wiki. The founder of the Wiki himself, BattleStation, has been globally blocked by Fandom, and WeirdWojak, the only admin of the Trevor Henderson Inspiration Wiki, also got blocked, causing him to lose his admin rights when he got unblocked. This means that people (mostly vandals, overly disrespectful people, etc) are able to do whatever they want to do without the fear of knowing that admins are gonna block them, because, as said, there are none to stop them.

Speaking of Vandalism, it is if not one of the most biggest problems I and other people have on the Wiki, with vandals doing stuff like (but not limited to): Deleting Entire Page Contents, Renaming Pages to Offensive Names, Adding Information to pages that’s either offensive or spam, Adding Images that are either disgusting or unrelated to the topic of the pages, so on and so forth, and since a lot of people (including YouTubers) are trusting our Wiki for information, this is a very bad problem. The Wiki has even experience multiple vandal attacks from multiple people (Haunttheguy, Categoryfivefool, DoggoAsHotdog (who thankfully has apologised), Narwhaljpiggy,  Fandom Accounts (people who haven’t made accounts), so on and so forth), and since we didn’t have any admins active to help any of us out with the vandals, we, for all of those times, had to call SOAP or Fandom Staff to come help fix the problem for us, which shows that we don’t have any active admins and we always have to fully rely on other people to help us out, which isn’t good.

Another problem that we are strongly facing is the amount of harassment and disrespectful comments being thrown by multiple people in the community (almost all being people who haven’t even created an account yet, i.e. fandom accounts), sending each other death threats, harassment, etc. And this isn’t good, because without any admins to control and monitor the comments, the comment section becomes an unsafe place to be and chat in. And, to add onto that statement, harassment has been happening in Discussions, and on Message Walls of some users. Some people even left the wiki for this reason (an example is Fafnirl, a user who left due to getting constantly yelled at by a user named SharkPuppet108, who has now been globally blocked).

Anyways, since now you have context on the major problems here, I’m gonna get back to the point. I want to become the new owner, or have bureaucrat rights (whatever you guys pronounce it here as) mainly so I can finally deal with vandals easier and stop any additional potential harassment from other people to make the Wiki a safer place to be on. So I did what I saw CzechOut (one of your staff members) suggested in the other adoption forms for the Trevor Henderson Inspiration Wiki: get public consent. So on August 15th, I went out, made a discussion (link here: https://trevor-henderson-inspiration.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000031592) and a Poll (link here: https://trevor-henderson-inspiration.fandom.com/f/p/4400000000000031593), and invited as many people as I possibly can, and I got very positive response from many people, with most of them telling me to give it a go, and got at least 26 votes for me to become the new owner (even with one person who previously voted no changing their mind and saying that I am the perfect person for the Wiki, so if you count him, 27).

Now, comes the part where I feel the need to explain: What am I going to do with it? For starters, I’m going to promote multiple people who have been taking care of the wiki with care and people who have been on the wiki for a while to administrators, content moderators, etc (something that BattleStation seemed to forget to do, as he seemed to only promote one person, probably his friend, to administrator), do some measures to prevent vandalism, like protecting pages if said pages are constantly getting vandalized, delete any overly-disrespectful and offensive comments and messages left by people in the comment sections, block anyone who does vandalize too much/is overly disrespectful to other people, remove any misinformation, so on and so forth. I just want to make the place much safer and better for people to chill and have fun on. It hurts to see how bad the Wiki has gotten since the first few weeks I was on it, and now I just want to take the chance to save it before it gets much worse.

Anyways, thank you so much for allowing me to have a chance to adopt this Wiki, I highly appreciate it. Also, I apologize if anything sounds wrong, as this is my first time making an adoption form.

Hope you have a wonderful time

 * Just to be super clear, the main objection we had to adoption in the past was that there was never clear community support for any previous candidate, which would have made Fandom have to choose between several viable candidates. Obviously, we didn't object to multiple people editing over there. That's the main goal!


 * Different this time is the fact that, as of now, you have 82% of the vote. And while we don't necessarily believe votes are the best way to settle major issues like this, this seems like the most reasonable outcome we're going to have, at this point. So I'm happy to go ahead and grant the rights to you.


 * Coupla points that I feel I need to stress, though. First, no one "owns" a wiki. At best, an admin is a janitor, whose main super power is maintenance. Second, you should absolutely continue to consult SOAP, even though you're an admin now. They have tools and skills you don't, and they love helping various admin fight off spam. So please don't ever think you've "failed" by consulting them.


 * Best of luck over there!
