With this request, I am seeking administrator and bureaucrat access to the ShowBiz Pizza Wiki.

In my time on the ShowBiz Pizza Wiki, I have vastly improved the wiki. I have created a robust category structure, added tags to images for licenses (or for lack thereof), added citation templates, cleaned up a lot of unverifiable information, removed a lot of old vandalism, adapted articles from Wikipedia, introduced guidelines regarding verifiability and neutral point of view (which have historically been problems on the wiki), introduced new images under free licenses, and cleaned up/rewritten a number of articles.

In addition, I have discussed my interest in adopting the wiki at ShowBiz Pizza Wiki Talk:Community Portal on December 27 (eight days ago), where I have received no responses as of this writing. I have also discussed the matter of lack of an admin at Talk:ShowBiz Pizza Wiki (where I also received no response). I have also left a message for the wiki's most recent and second-most-edited logged-in user, MrMouth (see ), and left a few please-do-not-vandalize-the-wiki messages to IP users. I have also initiated a discussion about clearly defining the scope of the wiki, at ShowBiz Pizza Wiki Talk:Scope.

I look forward to your response. SchuminWeb (talk) 05:22, January 4, 2013 (UTC)


 * Hi. Your contributions look great, and thank you for letting everybody know you wanted to adopt the wiki. I've given you admin and bureaucrat rights.  Good luck with it! -- Wendy  (talk ) 04:19, January 12, 2013 (UTC)
