Japan Wiki
The Japanese Wiki has already been created but I am making an English version. Oh and can I be admin on all the projects I create? General Eisenhower (war) 21:13, 8 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Which wiki are you talking about? The war wiki is in English, not Japanese. Angela (talk) 08:36, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I meant the Japn Wiki in an English version. General Eisenhower (war) 14:53, 3 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Where has it already been created? Angela (talk) 22:23, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

AIDS Dissent Wikcity

 * It is dead and redundant. Even worse, it's interfering with our google rankings. Thank you. Revolver 04:57, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I've emailed Jason to ask him to close it. Angela (talk) 00:39, 24 March 2006 (UTC)

Could you kindly remind him again? I hate to be a pain in the rear, but the project has moved on elsewhere, and when someone comes along, it gives them the appearance that nothing is happening. Thanks. Revolver 00:47, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

Picture Vandalism on Memory Alpha
Hi Angela. I'm an admin over at Memory Alpha. Earlier today one for our pictures (MemoryAlpha:Image:United Federation of Planets logo.png) was vandalized. It was quickly reverted, however, some problems remaine. I use the picture in my signature, and naturally, it is on hundreds of talk pages. For some reason, all talk pages seem to be showing the vandalized version. Any help would be greatly, greatly apreciated. -- Jaz (please respond on my MA talk page) Jaz 01:15, 25 May 2006 (UTC)


 * I expect refreshing your cache might solve it. Angela (talk)

SPAM users added
I just got my wiki created and already there are 28,695 registered users ! Obviously this is a SPAM bot or something. How to I delete all of them and prevent it from happening again?

Thanks.


 * You're probably looking at the users for all of Wikia. To see just the ones on an individual wiki, use Special:Activeusers instead. Angela (talk) 20:50, 26 May 2006 (UTC)

SW Fanon Sysops
We've had 3 vandal attacks in three days on the SW Fanon wiki and we need sysops. If you could check our sysops page and make some of those people sysops, that would be nice. MaulYoda


 * We need some people on the WarWiki to become sysops and I am the most likely to become one. General Eisenhower (war) 14:44, 3 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I suggest to both of you that you encourage more users to join these wikis first. Building up a basis of trusted editors is more important than adminship, and it makes it easier to find admins if you have a community who can assess which people should have that role. Angela (talk)

Thing is, we've already had an election and we have two very capable people leading the election, I'm in first and Gnosis is knowledge is in second. We've now had 5 or 6 vandal attacks and really need some sysops to control them. So, even though our community has some 6500 users, we really need sysops and fast and we would really appreciate if you could make Gnosis is knowledge and I admins. MaulYoda 18:38, 4 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Page moves are now limited, which will decrease the vandalism. Considering some of the people asking for adminship are the same people involved in the vandalism, it wouldn't help to fulfill those adminship requests right now. There is a lot of work you can do on the site without needing adminship. Both you and Gnosis have only been editing since late last month, so it's very early for the community there to see whether you can be trusted. Angela (talk) 22:10, 4 June 2006 (UTC)

Yes, but I'd like to remind you I'm winning the election and Gnosis is in second. MaulYoda 02:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)


 * You are winning the election. However, it doesn't count when 5 of the voters are running multiple accounts on that wiki. Angela (talk) 04:10, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Well here's what I have to say now. We could care less who wins the election as long as EVERY SINGLE NOMINEE ON THAT PAGE GETS SYSOP RIGHTS BECAUSE I AM SO SICK OF ALL OF THESE VANDAL ATTACKS! MaulYoda

Sorry if that was offensive. MaulYoda 17:25, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * New users are now blocked from moving pages there, so there shouldn't be too many problems now. Considering the number of people voting with multiple accounts, some of who are sharing IPs with the vandals, I don't think now is a good time to introduce a lot of new admins. It would be better for users to build up some trust on that wiki first. Angela (talk) 19:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Well I know that but every user on that site is sick of having to correct vandalism or leaving messages for you and sannse and mindspillage, no offense. We really just need some admins to help out. MaulYoda 20:31, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

One more question. Do you care what age a person is if they want to be a sysop? MaulYoda

Real Names
Hello, Angela! Thanks for joining our discussion. It's always good to know that users like yourself and Sannse are paying attention to activity on all the various Wikias.

I have moved the discussion on real names from my talk page to the talk of a new page, policies and practices. I did this so that other users who want to put in their two cents could find the discussion in the logical place.

I wanted to know, though - is it considered poor form to move stuff around like this? (Before I moved it to my talk page, it was originally on the talk of the Main Page.) I realize that by moving it, I am deleting the edit history of this discussion. I feel, though, that this early on, Activism doesn't have a well-defined place for everything, so sometimes content and discussions have to be moved as new, appropriate pages are created. Well, I would like to hear what you think about the issue of moving stuff around, and if I should refrain from this in the future.


 * – Nicholas Barry 06:52, 2 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I don't think it's a problem to move discussions as long as you leave a link to where they've gone, especially in the early stages of a wiki where things don't yet have a correct place. Unlike articles, the edit history isn't all that important since everyone should be signing what they write anyway, so you still have attribution of who wrote what. Angela (talk) 08:37, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

war wiki
I have requested for adminship on the WarWiki along with Gangsta-Easter-Bunny, General Eisenhower (war) 14:41, 3 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I closed our RfA's as successful (that's for GeneralE, too).--Gangsta-Easter-Bunny 15:24, 3 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I hesitate to mention it, but there appears to be a bit of sockpuppetry going on the War wiki. It's harmless at this point, but I just want it reiterated that this isn't allowed on Wikia. - Nhprman 16:55, 3 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes... it's not exactly subtle either . The wiki needs to build up a trusted userbase before getting admins. Angela (talk) 22:23, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
 * True. And when you see a user nominating featured articles for removal and asking for votes on the matter, something's wrong. Especially problematic when there's 3 active users. :-\ - Nhprman 03:41, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
 * I did that because that article didn't have PICTURES!--Gangsta-Easter-Bunny 13:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

JOHNNY THE VANDAL
HE attacked us last night, and moved our Main Page three times! Will you block him?--Gangsta-Easter-Bunny 13:11, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Same he does on my mini-wiki:Lachfisch and others too. Please help!--84.63.144.198 17:14, 5 June 2006 (UTC)


 * These wikis are now cleared up. If there are more problems, please list page move vandals at cross wiki user blocks so they can be blocked everywhere. Angela (talk) 19:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

When
When will you make me and GE admins? Is it time or a user count?--Gangsta-Easter-Bunny 00:57, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Neither. I think the wiki needs to mature until some trust is built up amongst users there. Angela (talk) 19:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * We trust GE and GangstaEB!! Them & I are the only major contributors there!!  the_ ed17  01:08, 10 June 2006 (UTC) P.S. if you wan't to respond, please do so on my WarWiki account. Thank you!


 * How can you know if you trust them when you've only been editing that wiki for 3 days? Angela (talk) 08:01, 10 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I can look at their contributions... Plus, Eisenhower is the founder for crying out loud!  the_ ed17  00:05, 13 June 2006 (UTC)

Please
Everyone's leaving, make me a 'crat! I need to help it. Please?--GangstaEB Get up with me! 00:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC) 23:11, 15 June 2006 (UTC)


 * That isn't needed. Please understand that being a bureaucrat doesn't give you more power over the project. You need to add content and promote your wiki at this stage. Angela (talk) 00:57, 16 June 2006 (UTC)

Vandalism on the SWFanon Wiki
I was just browsing some of the other Wiki and noticed a TON of vandalism happening on the SWFanon Wiki. I'm not sure who the admins are over there, but if none of them are around right now, I'm sure they'd appreciate some help/banning. Just FYI. Thanks. -Kapoli 22:43, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

Angela, given the traffic that you seem to be getting on this, I decided to take a look at it. Biggest problems that I am running into so far is all the bloody moves that seem to be getting made, and the inability to delete the results of moving things back. Still, if it would help, I can add this to my daily run of wiki's to check on.--Kirk 23:34, 5 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks for pointing it out. We are looking at ways to reduce the vandalism there through technical measures. Don't worry too much about deleting the redirects since those can be cleared up later and they don't affect use of the wiki. Angela (talk) 19:11, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

Angela there is another vandal in fanon. Please come help us. Ewoksfist 20:32, 7 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Which user are you talking about? Angela (talk) 21:30, 7 June 2006 (UTC)

A user, ASDFASDF, is vandalising our wiki. please help! Darth mavoc 11:16, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Another vandal, some communism vandal is currently attacking the wiki at this moment -Di'e Go Am'er'ez

List of Wikia
I was wondering whether new Wikis must be added manually to the List of Wikia section, or whether this is an automatic process. I started the Xenopedia Wiki around eleven days ago and it hasn't appeared on the List of Wikia or Newest Wikis sections. Colonial-marine32 10:44, 6 June 2006 (UTC)


 * They are added manually. This one was just missed since I was on vacation at the time I created it. It's now listed at Template:List of Wikia New, which appears on the list of Wikia. Angela (talk) 11:28, 6 June 2006 (UTC)

ParserFunctions
Could you please install ParserFunctions extension on Wikia? Some useful templates from Wikipedia use this... Edward Chernenkoo 06:07, 8 June 2006 (UTC)


 * ParserFunctions are working now. For example, = . Angela 14:24, 9 June 2006 (UTC)


 * Well, it was working. It's been reverted because the upgrade was making the whole site too slow. Angela (talk) 01:32, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Help needed on Hebrew Uncyclopedia
Hi Angela, was wondering if you can help: apparently all of the Beaurocrats of the Hebrew Eincyclopedia (the Hebrew version of Uncyclopedia) went missing, and it is impossible to nominate new Sysops, which are in dire need. Can you help?

Thanks.

--Mordillo 17:08, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

Rename
Rename me user:GangstaEB, please. Thank You!-Gangsta-Easter-Bunny 23:47, 11 June 2006 (UTC)

List of Wanted Pages
Hey Angela - I posted a question I had about the list of Wanted Pages on Wiki24 in the Community Portal over there, because I notice that there are several pages listed as "wanted" that have no links to them and are just previously vandalized (now deleted) pages. I was wondering if you could take a look at both the conversation and the Wanted Pages and see if there's anything that can be done about it. One of our admins doesn't know why our list has those items on it, and another admin is pretty sure that it's because the items are all vandalized pages that have since been deleted. I was wondering if there's any way to get rid of them. Here's the conversation about it... Wiki24 Community Portal, and here's the list of pages... Wiki24 Wanted Pages. Thanks! -Kapoli 01:20, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Name change of EVCHK
In order to reflect the major purpose, we, the sysops of EVCHK, suggested to change the name of the site from The Encyclopedia of Virtual Celebrities in Hong Kong to The Encyclopedia of Virtual Communities in Hong Kong. Could you help me to change the name? The URL need not to be changed since the abbreviations of them are same. Thanks very much. --Hotplug 03:07, 14 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I've moved the page at Virtual Communities in Hong Kong. Is that all you wanted me to do? I can change the Chinese name from 香港網絡大典 to something else as well if you like. Angela (talk) 03:36, 14 June 2006 (UTC)
