Community Central:Adoption requests

Perfect Dark Wiki (Accepted)
Hi, I'd like to adopt the Perfect Dark wiki.

The Perfect Dark series consists of three games, two novels, and comics. This wiki has been around since Oct. 2007, and has very little to show for it. There are just over 70 articles, and exactly 30 pictures. It suffices to say it does not represent the series well at all.

The Articles
 * Most of the articles are unneeded. The vast majority of these are in-game pickups that could fit all within one article. While this could be considered opinion I believe this would be more effective. I'd like to confer with the community on this but unfortunately there is no community. There is only one other active user besides myself and Eagle.

Community
 * The admin, who created the wiki, has not been active since a few days after the day he created the wiki (Oct 7,2007). The only article he's edited is the main page.


 * There are 7 total editors, including myself and Eagle (brother). Two of these users have only edited their user pages and have not been active since. This leaves us with the inactive admin, and two other users. One has deleted his user page after a long period of inactivity, the other edits every now and then.

In the short time my friend and I have been editing this wiki, we've created the longest articles on the site by far. The lack of interest in the site is likely due to the lack of admin participation, for not keeping the site in shape. Hopefully I could help bounce the wikia back into shape, and create a community for it.

 * It looks as though you missed AbigailAbernathy in your user count... are she and Eagle OK with you being admin? Perhaps I could make all of you admins? -- sannse (talk) 16:34, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm fine with Ace being admin, and wouldn't mind so myself. This wiki needs one or a few. --Eagle oo8i 19:40, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I've left a message for AbigailAbernathy, so I'll let you know as soon/what she responds. --Aces oo7 00:15, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, she responded and we both would like to be admins. Eagle would like to be one as well but he'll be inactive for some time. --Aces oo7 22:10, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * OK, I have promoted you and Abigail; you can promote Eagle yourselves (using Special:UserRights) when he becomes more active on the wiki. Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Total Drama Island Wiki (On hold)
Hi, I'm Jubilee18. I'd like to become an administer for this Wiki because the current administers do not seem to care about any of the vandalism or unnecessary pages currently found on it. I would also like to provide a better, customized backround for it as this Wiki is silver. Many other TDI users agree that our Wiki can be cleaned up.However, I am from the United States, and Total Drama Action is airing in Canada. Sorry if I don't meet the standards. If this is the case, who are the admins for the Total Drama Island Wiki? Thanks for your time! Jubilee18 01:53, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I believe I have what it takes to adopt the Total Drama Island wiki. I already run the Total Drama Island Camp wiki, and I became an admin on the Total Drama Island Fan-Fiction wiki. There are (the last time I checked) about two-hundred candidates for deletion on the Total Drama Island wiki. I am a big fan of Total Drama Island and know a lot about the show. I think that I am very qualified to run this wiki, and I hope you choose me. Thanks for reading. -- Mi llamo Nalyd Renrut. TalkContributions 11:26, 23 February 2009 (UTC)


 * User talk:Vampyrum Spectrum08 is the current admin; he last edited a few weeks ago. I'd suggest leaving a talk page message for him asking him to promote another admin or two; if he doesn't respond, please start a discussion on the wiki about who should get the tools and we'll be happy to give the tools to the person(s) the whole community chooses.  — Catherine (talk) 17:34, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Here's a link of the forum talk: http://totaldramaisland.wikia.com/wiki/Forum:Desperately_in_need_of_Admins . Webkinz Mania 23:46, 27 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the link -- we'll let you discuss it for a few more days and then promote the appropriate users.

I'd like to adopt Total Drama Island Wiki. it has a healthy userbase, but there is one administrator who is never on. The wiki is plagued with spam and vandalization. Please let me adopt this wiki so that a team of new admins and I can get in in good shape.-- Call me Zakkoroen. Talk to me.What I've done.. 23:58, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Look up a couple sections, somebody is also trying to adopt the Total Drama Island Wiki. The MarioGalaxy2433g5  { talk /contribs/Logs} 00:45, 28 February 2009 (UTC)


 * But you have been made an admin in the last 60 days so you can't.

Lion King (Accepted)
The Lion King wiki is up for adoption on the adoption list and I would like to adopt it. I will Update it and keep it updated. Please contact me at QBosse@aol.com. Thank you!--Tree Climber  Wich way to Holt Rudderwake? 16:25, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi Tree Climber -- I don't see any edits from you yet on the wiki. We'd be very to happy to have you adopt it though!  Please get started on editing and we'll follow up with you.  — Catherine (talk) 17:34, 24 February 2009 (UTC)

I have been updateing, and will continue!--Tree Climber  Wich way to Holt Rudderwake? 22:10, 24 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Excellent work -- thanks for keeping at it! I have given you the admin tools; please use them well.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Futebol (On hold)
Hi, I would like to adopt this wiki since I grew up in Brazil and know the soccer scene very well.

Please contact me if you have any further question.

Thank you in advance.

Best regards Ricky5


 * I don't see any edits from you there yet, Ricky -- please create a few new pages and we'll be happy to give you admin rights! — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Immortal (not an adoption request)
A site especially created for Immortal fans.You will find all kind of cool stuff in this site.
 * Please see the Music hub for wikis that already exist, or visit the Requests wiki in order to request new wikis. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 03:21, 26 February 2009 (UTC)

The Suite Life Wikia (Accepted)
When I see The Suite Life Wikia in December, was poor, with little articles, without biographies, actors, episodes, revelant images, etc. I do many articles (incluyed many characters, the cast, and ALL the episodes). Also, the administrator Kenny McCormik is inactive for 2 months, and also, many users (IP Adresses) do vandalism and create "stupid" pages (NOT, Good.), and I want to eliminate it, but i don't let it. Well, also, please, I want to be an administrator. --PanadolForte 03:18, 26 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. You've been doing a great job.  I've given you the admin tools.  Keep up the good work and don't forget to welcome new contributors!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 00:36, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

My brilliant new plan! (Not an Adoption Request)
Sorry, that title makes me sound like an evil genius doesn't it. Anyway, it is my intent to create a new wiki on the television miniseries, Tin Man, a futuristic, steampunk adaptation of The Wizard of Oz, starring Zooey Deschanel and Kathleen Robertson. The miniseries was successful and nominated for nine Emmy awards and has a dedicated fan following so it is my belief that it warrants a wiki. We have wikis for pretty much everything else in entertainment after all. Furthermore, for proof of Tin Man's notability, one need only peruse the numerous articles on it on Wikipedia and of course the hundreds of videos on YouTube. Anyway, since when does a topic need to be notable to warrant a wiki on Wikia? Now there's a tongue-twister!

Anyway, yes. My intent is for myself to have sole, autocratic power over the wiki in the manner that Jimbo Wales holds over Wikipedia. I shall of course appoint administrators to enforce rules on my behalf. There won't be many rules of course as I think various other Wikia sites have a problem with too many rules. The purpose of my Tin Man wiki will be for people to meet up and talk about the series, create articles on subjects relating to it and to basically chill out and have a good time. There will of course be rules about civility and the obvious stuff like cyberbullying which will receive one warning, followed by an indef block. The same goes for vandalism.

Please seriously consider my request as I am of the opinion that such a wiki would be highly successful and I would maintain it dilligently.

Regards

User:Lucifuge Rofacale


 * Hi. This page is to adopt existing wikis. To request a new wiki, please visits Requests.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 00:37, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Playstation Home (On hold)
I'd like to adopt Playstation Home because it means so much to me to adopt a wikia; Plus I never adopted a wiki in my whole wiki expreince (3 yrs starting with wikihow.

Also I'd like to adopt a wiki because as a 10 year old boy theres alot of goals to achieve and this is 1st on my list wanting to go to harvard for colloge for free when I hopefully I get my full tutuion if i spelled it right.

Anyways it would still be fair to others who want to adopt this website, so I shouldn't worry theres other WEBS in the NET.


 * I don't see that you've made any edits on that wiki yet; we would like you to begin editing a wiki before you apply for adminship. — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Good Eats Wiki (Accepted)
I'd like to adopt the Good Eats Wiki. Nothing is happening here and all of the edits are by me. Metnever 22:35, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hi. You're doing a great job on the Good Eats Wiki, and we've given you the admin tools.  Have fun!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:03, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

 * Thanks for your interest and your hard work, Mcjanne -- I have given you admin rights and I look forward to seeing this wiki grow! — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Fading Suns (Accepted)
Hi,

I would like to adopt and revive the Fading Suns wiki. I am an active GM running the game and also a member of the fading-suns dot com forum community. I love the game and would like to see an active wiki for it.

Thanks, Matt c.


 * Thanks for your interest, Matt -- I have given you admin rights and I look forward to seeing this wiki grow! — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Ben 10 (On hold)
I would like to adopt Ben 10 Wiki. The owner is NEVER on, nor are any of the admins. Please let me adopt it, I am very active and would help very much.-- Call me Zakkoroen. Talk to me.What I've done.. 01:05, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

But Zakkoreon has been made an admin on the total drama island fanfiction wiki in the last 60 days. ...So? i want to adopt this wiki.-- Call me Zakkoroen. Talk to me.What I've done.. 17:24, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

If you had read the rules you can't have been made an admin in the last 60 days.


 * Ben 10 is a very active wiki in any case, and so is not eligible for one person to adopt over everyone else. However, since it doesn't have any active admins, I suggest that you open a discussion at http://ben10.wikia.com/wiki/Ben_10:Requests_for_adminship and talk with each other about who would make the best admin(s).  We will check back in a week or so, and can give the rights to the person or people that the community agrees on.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Wicca Wiki (Accepted)
I am a bit confused to the powers given to me. Do I need to add to the page as an "anyone" before being considered to having reign over it?


 * You have already been given admin rights (which allows you to delete and protect pages, and modify the interface) and bureaucrat rights (which allow you to make other users into admins). Please be bold about making improvements to the wiki -- it has been inactive for quite a long time and needs a loving hand to bring it to life!  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

portalgame.wikia.com (Declined)
This wiki was dead, but i can reload it. I am Portal fan. Or activate portal-game.wikia.com and delete old wiki. SiPlus 18:38, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * This wiki was adopted by User:Kid2255 just a few days ago -- I am sure s/he would be delighted to have another Portal fan to help out there, and may be willing to accept you as a co-admin. Please go say hello and start making improvements to the wiki!  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
 * idiots. SiPlus 09:59, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Speculative Evolution (Accepted)
May I adopt Speculative Evolution Wiki The wiki has been abandoned and I am the only user editing there at the moment though I've linked an article about alien evolution with my story about the same aliens on Novelas at The Aliens of the Flaming Red Sun. Interest in Speculative Evolution Wiki may increase if science fiction readers follow the links.

I'm interested in Astrobiology and speculation about the evolution of life away from Earth is part of that subject. I edited Speculative Evolution Wiki a bit last September and when I returned this week I noted that my article How Life could Evolve in a Red Dwarf Star System was one of the most visited articles. It looks like I'm more involved with that wiki than anyone else at the moment. I'm already a sysop on Liberapedia and a bureaucrat on Atheism Wiki. I hope I've shown that I'm trustworthy on both wikis. Proxima Centauri 19:01, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

I don't know how to make an adoption template and would appreciate it if someone were to make some for me for Atheism Wiki and for Speculative Evolution Wiki. Alternatively can someone show me how to make one? Proxima Centauri 08:05, 2 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Those templates are for an inactive administration rather than a inactive community, so I don't think that you should make one for the Atheism wiki. I added Adopt to Wikia's Speculative Evolution article page. You may add  to the Speculative Evolution wiki's main page if you may convince a staff member to lower the main page's protection level. Template:WikiaAdoption is one of those templates that can be trancluded onto other wikis. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 12:42, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your interest, Proxima Centauri -- I've given you the admin rights on Speculative Evolution. Please keep creating new pages and welcoming new users.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Hello! Project (Accepted)
Hello, I would like to request the right to adopt this wiki as the site seems to be inactive. The admin has not been active in quite awhile and the pages that had been created were only very basic or half finished in regards to content. I would like to adopt the wiki and bring it up to standard as the subject it is about is still ongoing, causing new information to surface on a weekly basis. I have edited several existing pages to bring them up to standard and have created pages where needed. However one of the main pages that needs to be edited has been locked, when I try to edit it says I do not have the right. Hopefully you will allow me to adopt this wiki so I can thoroughly bring it up to scratch, thank-you.

Hikitty 20:09, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Very nice work, Hikitty -- I've given you administrator rights. Please unprotect the necessary pages and keep creating pages and welcoming new users.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Patapon (On hold)
I would like to adopt the Patapon Wiki. The only admin/bureaucrat has been inactive for nearly half a year. I tried to contact him, but I have never received a reply of any kind. I have created at least 9 new articles, and I have been contributing regularly for around 2 month now. Not too many registered or anonymous users help me with the editing of the article, so I want to adopt that page and make it even better and I will be active. Here is the site:



by the way, if I do become the admin of the Patapon Wiki, how do you change the theme, the skin and the logo for the wiki?

--Yumipon 20:34, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The wiki has other active users -- have you discussed with User:Taser9090 and User:Axel naruto whether they agree on who should become admin? Once you've all agreed, we'll be happy to hand out the tools.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Looking to adopt (Declined)
I'm interested in any Blizzard Entertainment wiki (e.g. Diablo, Warcraft, Starcraft) or any fan-based wiki on them.The Archangel Tyrael 20:59, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Danrr is currently a very active mod at Blizzard Entertainment Wiki. If you want to be a mod there you'll need to ask that user. Devilmanozzy 11:35, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Here are a few wikis I would want to adopt:

http://diablo2info.wikia.com/wiki/Diablo_2_Wiki <--Just this one then.

The Archangel Tyrael 21:01, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

EDIT: I searched, but could not find the Blizzard entertainment wiki. The Archangel Tyrael 22:50, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, you can only adopt 1 wiki in 60 days. That means you're going to have to pick one of these two wikis to adopt, and cross out the entry on the other with the strikethrough marks.--Iner22 23:11, 1 March 2009 (UTC)
 * The first and last wiki are possible to build up, while the middle one isn't by Wikia so it's nothing to do with this. If you want either of those wiki's you'll need to post new articles at the given wiki before you can be a mod. I'd personally suggest working with Blizzard Entertainment Wiki. Devilmanozzy 11:41, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * It appears that all of these wikis have active communities and are ineligible for adoption. I suggest you start making helpful edits so that you can earn adminship over time at one or more of these wikis.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Kingdom Under fire (Declined)
I would like too be admin there. There are no admins there so I need to be there to stop vandels.--The Holy Crusader 13:14, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * The current admin, User:The Holy Knight, last edited less than two weeks ago, so the wiki isn't available for adoption -- I suggest you start editing and making friends there and you may be able to earn adminship over time. — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

warrior cats wikia (declined)
i want this wikia -- User:Fireheart1 08:32, March 2, 2009


 * Thanks for your interest. warriors.wikia.com has two active admins at this time. I also don't see that you've made any contributions on that wiki as of yet. Please feel free to contribute to the community before approaching the admins for additional user rights. —Scott ( talk ) 17:52, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Spookpedia (Accepted)
I would like to adopt this wikia. Thank you! Firon 21:46, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

I had forgotten to add my name, sorry,Firon 21:46, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * You've gotten off to a nice start there and the wiki has no admins at all, so I've given you the admin tools. Please keep up the good work!  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

Dave Matthews Band wiki (Accepted)
Hello, I would like to have admin rights on the Dave Matthews Band wiki. There is one user there who hasn't been active in some time, and most of the articles are very short stubs of no more than four sentences. I would like to have admin rights to really start the Wiki and improve it significantly. There was one person (User:dmbfansite) who was active for 2 days on 27 and 28 December 2008. It doesn't seem like there is anyone else. --Son 21:51, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for your interest -- the DMB site deserves to be much bigger! I've given you the admin tools and I hope to see this wiki grow.  — Catherine (talk) 08:01, 3 March 2009 (UTC)
