Darthpedia
I have left a note on Madclaw's regarding Darthpedia's inclusion on the "Biggest Wikis" page, and his revert of a legitimate edit to the article. For you, I have just two questions. Why is it being allowed, and for how long will it there for?--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 16:39, 19 October 2008 (UTC)
 * You will find Darthpedia removed. It does not conform to the standards for inclusion on the page.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 16:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I allowed Darthipedia to have a spot on that list because I thought it was a clever joke -- a gentle spoof on wiki culture that brings a little brightness to the page. I think it's in keeping with the spirit of the page, which is designed to help readers find wikis where there's a strong community with a lot of energy.


 * On the other hand, I can also see people being bothered by its inclusion. The other folks on that list have worked hard to build tens of thousands of pages. If you want, you can open a discussion on the talk page, and then everyone can talk about it. -- Danny (talk ) 16:52, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * What gives you the right? The Big Wikis page is there for the reason it is, not for people to post their own jokes. Why should you be allowed abuse it for the promotion of a wiki you like? And as for using it in the spirit of a joke, what makes that much different than vandalism? -- Deltaneos (talk) 16:59, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Like I said -- please discuss it on the talk page. -- Danny (talk ) 17:01, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * "The other folks on that list have worked hard to build tens of thousands of pages." is one of the core parts of my argument. If the community had discussed it - fine, majority verdict, no issue with that. I just don't find attractive a sweeping (and silent) inclusion without an explanation on either the page via a link, or from Community Mailing Lists. Editors who are not Star Wars fans will not see the joke, and will not see the reason for legitimate inclusion. I know this works for a wiki to get attention and more editors, but surely there are/were other options. A discussion suits me fine.--TwoTailedFox (My Talk Page) 17:06, 19 October 2008 (UTC)


 * I don't see a sufficient reason for us to start a discussion on the talk page. You're suggesting the change. We're maintaining the current policy. If you want to change something that defies the policy, you should be the one who starts the discussion on the talk page. -- Deltaneos (talk) 17:09, 19 October 2008 (UTC)

Fire Emblem Wikia needs forums
I'm not sure how to add them though.

Wikia not listed in hub
It's me again and Soap Opera Wiki is not listed in the entertainment hub. Is this because its up for adoption? I have been updating, some, here in the last few days. Can you list it? Sundogs user talk 14:31, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Page Move
Danny, when you guys moved The Third Turn from armchair to wikia, a lot of our Semantic Data seems to have been reset and doesn't seem to be reloading properly. Is there anyway the whole site could be "purged"? DaNASCAT 00:38, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Tim -- Gah, what a pain. I just asked Kyle about this, and he said that this might be unrelated to the move -- we just upgraded Semantic MediaWiki to 1.3, and it's possible that the person who did that didn't realize that Third Turn was using SMW. Kyle is going to check on this, and he'll get back to you... Sorry for the inconvenience. -- Danny (talk ) 00:42, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * 3turn config was not compatible with SMW 1.3 + slow MediaWiki jobs refreshing SMW data after the upgrade. Fixed. (May need action=purge occasionally for next few hours.) -- Nef (talk) 09:53, 10 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you, Nef! -- Danny (talk ) 16:51, 10 October 2008 (UTC)

Polls not working
I tried to vote on the polls over at E-Wrestling and it does not cast my vote. Is this a bug? Sundogs user talk 20:56, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Roller Derby and Soap Opera Wikias
May I promote these 2 sites on wikipedia? Sundogs user talk 19:39, 30 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Sorry, do you mean on Wikipedia, or on Wikia?


 * The folks at Wikipedia are pretty strict about what links they'll allow. They seem to be okay with linking to big wikis like Star Wars, but links to small wikis usually get taken off the page.


 * If you mean Wikia, then you can check out Wikia Spotlights to request a spotlight. -- Danny (talk ) 20:26, 30 September 2008 (UTC)

Adopting the Bones Wikia
Hello! I'm interested in adopting the Bones wikia... I created most of the pages in the wiki earlier this year. I left it alone for a while to see if anyone would step up... but so far alas, it's been pretty quiet over there. I'm admining these days over at the Smallville and Terminator wikis... any possibility of adding me as an admin to Bones? --Kanamekun 06:57, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Kanamekun! You can post your request at Wiki adoption requests. -- Danny (talk ) 07:00, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

More info about spotlights?
Hi, I was wondering if you could give me more information about the Spotlights. I requested a spotlight for the wiki I work on (the Irwin Allen Wiki) and I have a few questions. How long does spotlight run? Can a wiki have a spotlight twice? Thanks! — Mary ( talk ) 22:37, 27 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi, Mary! The Irwin Allen spotlight has been running for a couple weeks now, and it's still running now. There have been a couple technical glitches recently because we've moved over to a (still-buggy) new spotlight server, so you may not have seen the spotlight as much in the last few days. I just adjusted some stuff, so you should see it again soon. It'll run for a little while. -- Danny (talk ) 01:56, 28 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Ok, thanks a lot Danny! I was wondering why our spotlight didn't seem to show up as much as some others did, so thanks for answering that for me. Also, thanks alot for helping us out on those Lost in Space pages! I really appreciate it. — Mary ( talk ) 13:14, 28 September 2008 (UTC)

List of current Spotlights
My wiki (along with the 3 above it) has recently been removed from the Upcoming Spotlights list on Talk:Wikia Spotlights. Does this mean its been officially spotlighted? And is there anywhere I can see it's Spotlight picture for myself? Aabicus 18:23, 21 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I'm surprised you haven't seen it yet! It's been running on all the Entertainment wikis for a couple of days. You can see the image here... -- Danny (talk ) 21:11, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Thank you! Aabicus 22:01, 21 September 2008 (UTC)

Admin
Hi, Danny, I'm Elbutler from Smallville wiki and i came here to ask how long it takes to become an admin on Smallville wiki. E-mail me back soon. Elbutler 17:02, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi! You should post a request on Wiki adoption requests, and somebody will help you out. Thanks! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 17:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

Problem with google ranking :(
http://fireemblem.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page

At one point we were 18th when searching for 'Fire Emblem', now we are 27th.

The thing I don't understand is that our wiki has been rising in content since that date, while the sites that are over taking us on google havn't gained any extra content or if they have its just been a very little amount.

Could you offer any explanations?

-- Semaj draehs - Talk page 16:13, 15 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Google is hard to predict sometimes. That's something that I've been working really hard on -- to raise the Google ranking for all of our wikis. There are a few things that are happening right now that should help everybody, including Fire Emblem.


 * I'll be posting some stuff on the Central forum later today about what we're doing to help -- you left a message on the right day! So I'll post that soon, and then I'd like to know what you think... -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 20:50, 15 September 2008 (UTC)

Could you possibly post a link to it, as I havn't been able to find it :( -- Semaj draehs - Talk page 16:26, 18 September 2008 (UTC)


 * Sure! I posted this yesterday: Forum:Improving our search engine ranking. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:46, 18 September 2008 (UTC)

RPG Arena
Hi is it possible I can adopt RPG Arena, none of the other admins have been on since February, and I think the site needs an admin in order to keep organized. What the Logan 13:22, 3 September 2008 (UTC) EDIT: Just noticed the request form in the corner, I will go fill that out. I will leave this in case it makes any difference but feel free to delete it.


 * Yup, thanks for posting it on the adoption page. You'll get a response there! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:55, 3 September 2008 (UTC)

Why?
Why did you ban Happyface414? --Sonicspine31

Big thanks from Color Sorting
First, thanks for clearing up that one issue so promptly.

Second, what would be most helpful is automating things on Color Sorting. Before the creation of this wiki, I had over 1,300 colors presorted to make articles about but because of the lack of automation, after almost two months, I have less than 400 stubs written only. I tried to create a template but I still have to manually copy and paste the "template" in and then go through and manually fill in many of the fields that could be handled automatically if I had more expertise in setting it up. So tell me what you need from me or what you think I should do to make it easier for you to help me. And thank you again.--Bejjinks 03:39, 25 August 2008 (UTC)

The Flash Wiki Site Message-2
Hi Danny I was wondering if you got my message about the Flash Wiki site because I would like to adopt the site and have the admin rights to the site as well. The creator of the site hasn't been on in such a long time and the site is dead so I hope you can help me with this issue by replying to this message and I can adopt The Flash Wiki site and become the new admin and if you need to contact me just leave a message on my talk page on my Green Arrow site or The Flash Site and you can also post a message on the Batman, Green Lantern and Aquaman site as well if you need to contact me. Well talk to you later looking forward to you helping me solve this problem.

I'm a bit confused about wikia spotlights
I requested that fire emblem wikia be put down for wikia spotlight and as you can see here, the request was accepted, however we've been waiting over a month now which is understanable (wikia staff must be a bit busy after the skin change), but i recently saw while I was browsing Fire Emblem wikia that at the bottom of the page the spotlights have changed,Fable is there, lego batman, Fallout three, Soul caliber 4... but no Fire Emblem?

Can you explain to me when the wiki's get put up on the spotlight bit, as i'm a bit confused right now.

-- Semaj draehs - Talk page 22:42, 6 August 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi there -- I'm sorry, we did get backed up on the spotlight requests. Fire Emblem is next on the list of requests to be made. I'll make sure it goes up soon. Thanks for your patience! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 23:03, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

Xenopedia
Would it be possible for me to administer Xenopedia? It seemed that the previous admin has done a poor job at returning the Wiki's standard and preventing vandals from altering informations. I've tried contacting the Administrator but still received no answers. <font color="#0000FF"><tt>Little</tt> <font color="#0090FF"><tt>_</tt> <font color="#7DF9FF"><tt>Missy</tt> -  15:57, 27 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi there. It looks like the new admin, Vampyrum Spectrum08, is active on the site, and responded to you today. It's great that you want to help the site -- I'm sure that Vampyrum will appreciate the help! Building up a wiki is a big job. You should talk to him about how you'd like to help. -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:06, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Wikitubia adoption (sorta)?
Can I adopt Wikitubia? Well, sorta. There isn't any active admins and most of the edits are informal pages by non-users. -- Yowuza TALK 2 ME! 14:08, 27 July 2008 (UTC)

No response?
Did you overlook my question on ? I've been trying to get some feedback on this question. (Also, I'm not sure what I'd do to block anonymous edits in general, rather than doing each IP as it shows up.) -- BruceG 17:44, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Ack, I'm sorry -- I did overlook it. I'll catch you at your wiki -- I can help you with this right away. Thanks for the reminder! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 22:35, 26 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks. It looks as if we have already gotten some results, as there are a large bunch of edits that look to be by someone who has previously done a lot of anonymous editing, and now, I can leave him some suggestions that will make his edits come a bit closer to the standards I'd like to enforce. I hope he will take the trouble to read his User talk page, though; there's no way we can force him to do that! -- BruceG 14:55, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * That's good -- I'm glad it's (sort of) helped! If he has a message on his talk page, then he'll get that orange bar reminding him of it on every page... so that'll encourage him to pay attention, at least. Let me know if there's anything I can do to help! -- <font color="Blue">Danny (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 16:45, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
