Community Central:Adoption requests

Sam & Max Wiki
I'd like to adopt the Sam & Max wiki as admin. It had only 10 articles when I first found it, mostly copied from Wikipedia, and hadn't been worked on for months. I've already promoted the wiki on a related forum and attracted at least two other dedicated editors, both of which support me on this. Together we've more than tripled the pagecount in three days and have spruced up the place considerably. Zoinker 23:56, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Smallville wiki
I would like to adopt Smallville wiki as an admin. I have made over 1,000 edits to site since March 2008. Elbutler 17:16, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. The Smallville Wiki has two acive contributors: Marikology and Kanamekun. If you're interested in becoming an admin there, you should start by welcoming new contributors to the wiki, and talking to one of the admins about the process. —Scott ( talk ) 00:34, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Ben 10 Wiki Planet
I would like to adopt Ben 10 Wiki as the sysop and burecrat. Its very inactive and the last edit was over 4 hours ago. I'm a sysop on the Club penguin Wiki and I'm a big help there. Please let me adopt this wiki I wanna make it better.

happy face414  |Talk 23:53, 30 August 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) no this is the only wiki i've tryed to adopt or create


 * I know I'm not a staff but an edit 4 hours ago isn't too bad on a smaller wiki. . -- Yowuza TALK 2 ME! 11:54, 31 August 2008 (UTC)

Counter-Strike
I'd like to adopt Counter-Strike. I've got admin on Super Smash Bros. and WoWWiki, so I know what I'm doing. I also hang out on IRC. Kirkburn just informed me that the last admin edit was in January. While I haven't worked on the wiki yet (all of 3 contributions as I write this), this is something to take on, I think.

I would appreciate being made a bureaucrat, if possible; in the event that I can draw users to the wiki, I'd like to be able to give out administrator. Thanks for hearing me. --Sky (talk) 14:19, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Done :) -- JSharp (talk) 06:41, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Extension
I need in my wiki here extension polldaddy display flash polls from polldaddy.com. Code is here code is here. Gudyś 16:21, 9 September 2008 (UTC)

Mythbusters Wiki
I would like to adopt the Mythbusters wiki. I would like to do this because I am a giant Mythbusters fan. Also, I cannot do anything right now because mostly everything is protected. Thank you for reading this, and I hope you do accept. I am currently helping the Dark Cloud Wiki, and I would like to help this one as well. TingleLovah 22:00, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I'm happy you'd like to adopt Mythbusters Wiki -- it could use some love.  However, you haven't made any edits there at all yet.  I don't understand why you say things are protected; none of the content pages or the main page are protected.  There are many things you could do to help this wiki without having administrative powers, such as building some good articles, improving the main page, setting up a category structure, etc.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 22:57, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

fi:Gtapedia
I Would like to adopt the fi:gta wikis,beause I love Wikia!--Terveisin: Wappedia (Keskustele) ™ http://images.wikia.com/logocreation/images//e/e1/Globeicon.png 23:51, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Wappedia! I'm glad that you're excited about the GTA wiki!  I have made you a bureaucrat on that wiki.  Keep up the good work!  --KyleH (talk) 00:36, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Thank you very match!--Terveisin: Wappedia (Keskustele) ™ http://images.wikia.com/logocreation/images//e/e1/Globeicon.png 19:32, 14 September 2008 (UTC)

Adoption Request for www.islandtrolltribes.wikia.com
Hi me and a group of island troll tribe fans have come across this long inactive wikia page and found that there was only one article on it. For the past couple of weeks me, Alphaphoenix and chunkymonkey have been adding large amounts of content, but I realised that there is a lot of space for further improvement if we had administration rights, but I could not find any previous administrators of this wikia page as they have been long gone.

I then went to the wikia help irc channel, and a helpful person there gave me a link to this page, so now I'm submitting this request, hopefully to acquire administration privileges to this long abandoned wikia. Thanks in advance!

Best Regards, PoZoR
 * Hi PoZoR! It looks like you're off to a great start on the Island Troll Tribes wiki; however, there are a few other people contributing there as well, and they should get a chance to offer their input as well.  Can you post a message on the community portal asking for their input on the admin nomination?  Once you do that, I'll add it to the site notice so we can be sure that everyone sees it.  Thanks! --KyleH (talk) 00:14, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Hi KyleH Pozor has my full support in adopting the page as the current admin is inactive. He's been contributing as much as I have since I picked it up from the one page site it used to be, and now he's furnished it with a nice feel, hence getting my support. Alphaphoenix, 21:50 UTC+10

Hi KyleH! im one of the three only active members of this wikia, and we currently would like an active admin for this wikia as we have little control over some important functions. thus, i would like to put my vote for and nominate pozor as the new admin thanks! Chunkythemonkey


 * Sounds good! I've made PoZoR an admin on the wiki.  Keep up the good work!  --KyleH (talk) 00:31, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

ImagineWiki
Hello,

I would like to adopt the ImagineWiki, it has been inactive for quite awhile now and I would like to revive it. I have already edited a few pages, started a few pages, edited the Main Page, and created a welcome template. I am going to need to become a sysop there, too.

Thanks,

--Jklmcw 18:42, 11 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. You just started a wiki (Left Behind Kids) about a month ago, not 60 days as we specify in our criteria  for adoption.  Also, there are a lot of other users on the wiki, but you haven't welcomed any of them.  Finally, we'd like to see you contribute for more than a day before asking to become the admin. There's a lot of work you can do on a wiki without being the admin!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 18:16, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

Dead Rising
I would like to adopt this wiki, seeing as there are no active admins at this wiki and there are barely any other editors there.Wikiar 23:21, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Wikiar! Both of those wikis definitely need some love, but adopting a wiki is a ton of hard work.  I encourage you to continue working hard to improve both of them (there are a LOT of things that you can do even without being an admin), but choose one which you want to adopt.  Make some contributions over the next few weeks then come back and let us know which one you want to adopt. --KyleH (talk) 00:28, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

SlyPedia
Hello, could I adopt Slypedia, there are only about4 users there, one is a janitor and I am one of the users there as well. So could I adopt the Slypedia wiki. Thanks. KrazyKat 04:15, 12 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. While I think it's great that you want to work on the Slypedia, right now I think you should focus on the wikis where you are already an admin.  In the meantime there is a lot you can do for Slypedia as a regular user as well.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 20:01, 12 September 2008 (UTC)

New Batman
I Want To Do A All "Christopher Nolan BATMAN Wikia"

There Needs To Be A More Truthful Batman Page For The New Movies The Other Batman Page Has ALL RUMORS & NO FACTS On The Films

I Would Like To Make A Wikia Just For The 2 New Batman Movies and Any Thing To Come In The Future

It Would Be Called "Nolan's Batman Series" or just "Nolan Batman Wikia" Can I Please Make It - User:A4F7I


 * This page is for adopting existing wikis. To request a new wiki, go to here.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:43, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

oddopedia
please --Huge bob 10:42, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. You founded Apocalypse Wiki in early August, so you don't meet our criteria for having no new adminships in the last 60 days.  Setting up a wiki takes a lot of work, which is the reason for this criteria.  You can still do a lot with contributions on oddopedia as well, even as a regular user.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:03, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Couldent you close down apocopedia and let me do this one?
 * Unfortunately that's not how wikis work. As I said before though, you can continue to contribute as a regular user until it's been 60 days.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 16:50, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * After 60 days? ok.

Star Wars Non Canon wiki
Hello

I am Editoroflife and to cut straight to the point, I am looking to obtain the bureaucrat rights to the Star Wars Non Canon wiki (http://starwarsnoncanon.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page). I have begun to edit this wiki, but it desperately needs some attention. I don't think there has been any activity there for ages. I will run the wiki to my supreme best if given admin/bureaucrat rights there. I intend on continuing to edit the wiki and would appreciate these rights.

Thank you in advance

Yours sincerely Editoroflife 11:30, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. You're doing a very nice job with this, but in general we'd like to see you contributing for more than 2 days before requesting the adminship.  Please continue to work on building up the wiki and ask again when you have edited for longer.  There is a lot you can do as a regular user! -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:25, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Harry Hill
Please can I adopt the Harry Hill Wikia? The founder, Dalekhunter, only edited for the first couple of days the wiki existed and that was in March. --<font face="Impact" color="5F9EA0">YOWUZA TALK 2 ME! 17:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * 1) Yep.
 * 2) There isn't any other active members of the community so...
 * 3) See above.
 * 4) There isn't any on the Recent Changes. I'll customize the welcome template soon.
 * 5) Unfortunatly... --<font face="Impact" color="5F9EA0">YOWUZA TALK 2 ME! 17:17, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. I"m glad to see you taking an interest in this wiki.  However it needs to be 60days since you were made an admin on any other wikis before you can adopt a wiki.  Meanwhile there is a lot you can do for Harry Hill as a regular user, such as building good content pages.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:47, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Friends Wiki
friends.wikia.com

Hi, I am one of only 2 active contibuters to the wiki, there are no admins active. I would like to be an admin, and I would recommend that the only other contibuter, User:Bamboozled, be one aswell. We both make regular contibutions and have both been trying to clean up the wiki, which is difficult without admin rights. --Tim1423 12:42, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. I've pinged Bamboozled to make sure he is also interested.  You need a welcome template and to welcome all new users.  Otherwise everything looks in order.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:17, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Top Gear Wiki
The Top Gear Wiki was empty for 2 years, and then I came along. topgear.wikia.com needs a guy like me :) No, really, do it. --Gert7 14:46, 16 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Gert. You are doing a great job on Top Gear for a little while now.  However you founded Wikimaa less than 60 days ago (and WikiPowder a couple weeks before that).  Please ask again when it has been more than 60 days, per the adoption criteria given above.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 18:23, 16 September 2008 (UTC)

Star Wars Fan Fiction
I, LeiaOrganicSolo, request that a Star Wars Fan Fiction page is added. I know that there is a Star Wars Non-Cannon website, and a fan fiction website, but why not combine them? It's rare that a Star Wars fan is on the fan fiction sight, due to the lack of Star Wars stories. LeiaOrganicSolo 23:47, 16 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi. There is a very large and active Star Wars Fan Fiction Wiki already.  Perhaps you could find what you are looking for there.  In general "Non-Canon" refers to officially licensed products (books, games, etc.) that may include characters and stories which deviate from the "canon" stories.  Since they are licensed they are different from fan creations.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 00:27, 17 September 2008 (UTC)

DRM
The only DRM Wiki at NL's Wikia is one I would like to adopt. However, the reason behind this is to help keep it free from graffiti and crack sharing and only leave it as a VERY BASIC source of DRM information that is for PC games listing publishers, DRM types and specific version limitations. If possible a change from the NL domain would be good too. I've realised this certainly wont be a 1 man job to make such a huge list, but would like some control due to the outrage over Spore that is likely to happen. I've already started adding pages and can see there isn't anything like this out there on the net yet. --user:Doesthisgamehavedrm
 * Hi. You made a nice start on this wiki, but you only contributed for 1 day.  There is a lot you can do for the wiki as a regular user.  Please ask us again about the adoption after you have worked on the wiki for a couple of weeks.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:28, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Note the nl.drm wikia is for the Dutch language (nl = The Netherlands) -- to work on articles about DRM in English, please work at http://drm.wikia.com -- it was just started a few days ago and doesn't have any edits yet. I will encourage the founder to return and begin editing with you; if s/he doesn't start editing in a few weeks then we may be willing to let you adopt it.  — Catherine (talk) 02:02, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Adoption request for 2320ad
Wiki inactive since April. | 2320ad wiki
 * Hi Reijerink! It looks like you're off to a great start.  I made you a bureaucrat on that wiki.  Keep up the good work! --KyleH (talk) 21:09, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

petz wiki
only one edit ever that was by user:Angela so i  want to help grow this wiki user:Super24daisy
 * Hi Super24daisy! I'm glad to hear that you're excited about the petz wiki, but the wiki was just created and you haven't made any edits there yourself.  There are a lot of things you can do without being an admin.  The wiki needs some articles, an updated homepage, and all other things that you can work on now.  Help out there some, and if Leopardmoon doesn't return within a month or so, we can make you an admin.  --KyleH (talk) 21:13, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Far cry wikia
It has come to my attention that the wikia is up for adoption because of inactivity. So I was wondering if someone could help me adopt this wikia. Kthxbai. DeathSlayer74 22:09, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi DeathSlayer! That wiki definitely needs some help, but you haven't spent much time there yet.  Can you help out there for a week or two then ping me again? --KyleH (talk) 21:18, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Spyro Wiki
I would like to adopt the spyro wiki. I played many of the games so I know what I will be writing. I have some experience with editing and I have some great ideas for it. You can contact me on R&C wiki and Spyro wiki. Being a sysop would allow me to help protect agains vandalism. Many of the pages are not categorized, a lot can be done for this wiki. Thanks

23:23, 18 September 2008 (UTC)Clank 720
 * Hi Clank! It's true that the Spyro wiki needs an active admin, but it looks like there are other contributors there who should get a say in who is promoted to admin.  Could you post a message on the community portal saying that you want to adopt the wiki and that you would like their support in doing so?  Once you post the message, let me know and I'll add a link to your message in the site notice so that everyone can see it. --KyleH (talk) 21:22, 19 September 2008 (UTC)

Winnie the pooh wiki
I would like to adopt the Winnie the pooh wiki, it has been inactive for a while and I promise to stay and edit it well.Bulldog180 00:38, 20 September 2008 (UTC) 1
 * Hi. You've been doing some nice work on the Pooh wiki!  A couple of things.  One you need to welcome other contributors (you should have a welcome template too).  And could you please ask the two other active contributors in the last 30 days (User:BlueFraggle and User:Scarecroe) if they are ok with you becoming an admin?  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:08, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

MY SHOW
I wanna make a wiki about my fairly unknown youtube show Funky grandpa under the youtube username herbster4 so people can find out about my show so it can get more well known and then ill have a reason to make more episodes. we have lots of characters like funky grandpa,jason(Friday the 13th),crazy,loco,pshyco,loopy,funky grandma, funky son, funky grandson,scream aka: ghostface(SCREAM)and lots more. also ive always wanred a wiki for something of my own work. you can see summa dis show (that isnt that great) at www.youtube.com/herbster4.


 * To request a wiki, try Requests. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 21:09, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

=w:c:conlang= I want to adopt conlang during a really short time, may be just a month. I am not really a conlanger, and I do not plan to become a permanent member of that wiki.

I just want to improve the general interface to make easier to use that wiki. This wiki is basically administratorless since a long time, may be years, and it has become a mess.

It has no permanent users right now, people just come and then go after leaving one or two articles.

I already created a new main page, my general plans for this wiki are:
 * To link this wiki to related more functional creative wikis, like conworlds and novelas
 * To remove many useless wikipedia templates that were recently spammed with no reason
 * To remove lots of meaningless articles. There are looots of articles that are only the traslation of a word, i.e: "Rojus is the nujitsian word for woman". These articles must be deleted and their definition must go to an organized dictionary page.


 * To categorize languages, making it a more explorable wiki
 * To remove articles that are not articles but lists of external links
 * To remove a lot of pages that have nothing to do with constructing languages, i.e. the pilingual miniarticles
 * To flush away the Candidates_for_speedy_deletion category

The result will be a simpler more organized conlang wiki.

This wiki lacks of a community, users just come then leave, but I am sure these change will keep them at the wiki.

After 30 days you can remove my adminship, and it will be OK. Thanks.Golden Eagle 19:24, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I think this is a good idea, and I agree, it looks like most people work for a few days on their own language and then leave.  However, since the wiki is not completely inactive, I suggest you post about it on the community portal there and we can link it in a site notice; give people a few days to comment about it, and if there's no objection you can set to work on tidying things up.  I think it would be excellent to have a clearer and more welcoming structure for new editors, as we get many requests for new wikis about a constructed languages, and we always ask them to start at the Conlang wiki first.  Please talk to the community about what you have in mind so we can get this process started.  — Catherine (talk) 02:38, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

Ok, thanks. I will post a message there11:30, 22 September 2008 (UTC)

The Mummy Wikia
I would like to adopt the Mummy Wikia, as it is a pleasure fully to be integrating a part of this wikia, specially from a bloody movie, as good a it should be. My name is Tim Parody.
