Remember?
hey Angela, I'm a friend of Andrewrox. He told me that he has a message for you on your emails. Please check them for him. Thanks! --Scradgum111 09:39, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I've replied to him but staff will not be unblocking his account. Angela (talk) 12:57, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Do deleted images still remain there?-- 11:04, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * No, they shouldn't, but they might be temporarily cached there. Angela (talk) 12:57, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, right. I was wondering if I could use an image previously deleted from the Sonic News Network.-- 10:09, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * You could ask an admin on that wiki to send you a copy since admins can view deleted images. Angela (talk) 14:18, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Oh, I have a copy. While I'm here, is CheckUser installed here?-- 07:22, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Checkuser is installed, but generally only staff can use it for privacy reasons. If you need a user checked, just drop a note to special:contact and someone will do that for you. Angela (talk) 07:24, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Okay. According to the link, you're Angela Beesley Starling, but I only knew you as Angela Beesley.-- 07:33, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * That's because I got married last November and changed my name. :) Angela (talk) 07:36, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

American Idol Wiki
Hi, I would like to take American Idol Wiki, because I have a wiki of the same topic and there is no articles in the other wiki. I want to do this because my wiki is american-idol.wikia.com and americanidol.wikia.com is shorter, so I want to pass all the info of my wiki to the new one, if it is possible, and leave a redirect. Thanks a lot!!!--Matias arana 10 17:40, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
 * The American-idol URL might be better for SEO rather than the version where it's all one word. Angela (talk) 14:18, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * What is a SEO???--Matias arana 10 16:38, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * SEO means "search engine optimization". What I mean is that people searching for American Idol information are more likely to find your wiki when they search in google if the wiki is american-idol.wikia.com than if it was americanidol.wikia.com. Angela (talk) 01:17, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

About Bioarkistot
I posted this on your talk page earlier, and now it's on Archive 20... I don't know why Special:Contact has to be used, and to ensure the links work properly, I'm posting this here:

''Hello again. I'd like to ask for some help on Bioarkistot.

''First off, is there a way to have Shared Help in Finnish? I found none... Can we translate the Shared Help articles to Finnish and publish them on Bioarkistot? And can we put the text into frames of our own?''

And second, do we actually have a forum (Foorumi'' in Finnish) there? There is no page for it, but is all required stuff available? And what coding should we put in the index (Sisällysluettelo in Finnish)? And should we move Kahvihuone (Village pump) to the Foorumi namespace?''

''And, should these foreign-language Bionicle wikis be linked to the four already linked together (de, en, fi, pl): ''I think at least the first two should. The latter two, judging by their URLs, could also be fanon wikis or something.''
 * es
 * lt
 * nl
 * fr

Thanks already, and keep up the good work.

In addition to these, I'd like to ask if the namespace "Keskustelu Bioarkistotista" (Bioarkistot talk) could be renamed "Keskustelu Bioarkistoista". That's because "Bioarkistot" is plural (it's literally "Bioarchives" in English), and, because of complex Finnish suffixes, "Bioarkistotista" is incorrect while "Bioarkistoista" is the correct form.  -VezonThunder, ylläpitäjä (kesk.) 06:40, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * The reason for using special:contact is that it ensures your question will be answered. There's no such guarantee if you post on a wiki talk page.


 * There isn't yet a Finnish help wiki, so shared help can not be enabled, but anyone can create one and once a few Finnish speakers are involved and have said the site is ready for launch, then it could be enabled.


 * There is a forum at fi:Foorumi:Sisällysluettelo - is that what you meant? You could make one on any other wiki using the instructions at Help:Wiki-style forum set up (or use special:contact and someone will be able to help you do that).


 * I've added interlanguage links between the bionicle wikis, but it can take a couple of days before this starts working. For Dutch I used the w:c:nl.bionicle rather than w:c:nl.bionicleworld.


 * Keskustelu Bioarkistotista is now Keskustelu Bioarkistoista.

CheckUser
Hello, Angela! Can you grant me the CheckUser flag on My Wiki? I want to test this function. Best regards, Mondalor 08:47, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but this isn't available to ensure the privacy of Wikia's users. However, if you need a user to be checked, please send a note using special:contact and one of Wikia's community team will do that for you. Angela (talk) 10:36, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Bot Flag
Hey Angela. I have a bot known as Avtbot. It has a botflag on Foamipedia and Suitelife wiki, I was wondering if you could give it one on Phineas and Ferb Fanon, it is to categorize the pages there. Thanks!-- Avatar Talk 20:47, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Publicity
Hello, friend Angela. First, I would like to personally thank you for taking the time to help me with the blocked IP Address issue; thus far, nothing of the sort has yet occurred again. Please contact me if I am of any use to you at Wikia at all; simply ask your request and it shall be done. However, I beg you to answer my question first: Please, what might be the best method for publicizing your wiki, if it is very new, other than inviting? Is it permitted to message Wikipedian users who seem to have some knowledge about the subject of the wiki and invite them? Wikipedia has long held a certain appeal for me, yet that was long before I knew the existence of Wikia. Nonetheless...Please, why would messaging others on their talk pages asking them of Wikia be considered "spam" by so many, if neither one objects and it does not influence Wikipedia at all. Could one not even provide one link to a Wikia project? I have long respected the rules of Wikipedia, and I still find it to my very great liking, yet this confuses me, as I would not call it spam. What is the exact relationship between Wikipedia and Wikia, then? Does none exist? Does Wikipedia cut itself off from Wikia entirely, with both functioning independently yet ignoring the other? Please enlighten me. Thanks so much, Angela, for taking the time! Ralnon (talk) 16:27, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
