User talk:Brandon Rhea/Archive 1

I am offline until Sunday, somewhere around 5pm Eastern Standard Time. Any adoption requests I put on hold will be answered when I return, if needed. Have something to say? Feel free to leave me a message. I'll get back to you ASAP!

spotlight timing
In general it's taking about 2-3 months for the spots to go up right now. You can check the list occasionally to see when your wiki gets near the top and maybe tell the wiki then? -- Wendy (talk ) 01:57, November 12, 2009 (UTC)

Copyright
Hi,

I'm looking for an experienced Wikia editor to check over the copyright details and templates at Battlefield Series Wiki to see if they are OK. I also need somebody to explain some of the licenses, especially the 'free' licenses. I was wondering if you could help, or point me in the direction of someone who could.

Please can you respond by email at thomasrbendall@yahoo.co.uk, it will be more convenient.

Thank You

CommunityStickies
Hi, I want to make sure that you see the announcement on the WikiStickies blog page about the new way to create your own CommunityStickies! You'd posted that you wanted a way to customize the stickies, and now you'll be able to make your own. Let me know if you have any questions about it! -- Danny (talk ) 21:56, January 13, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, if I remember correctly. Wookieepedia has done it, for one example. :) -- Xd1358(Talk) 16:06, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

stubs
Hi Brandon -- thanks for making sure you meet the criteria before you asked for the help with the skin - I really appreciate that :). For stubs, the first thing I do is add up how many stub-marked articles the wiki has; you've got 33 which is ok (but keep an eye on them -- the problem with marking stubs is they never get unmarked). Next I look at the Short Pages list. My basic criteria is that a non-stub should be over 300 bytes but that can be skewed by template use, so I also look to see that there is actually some information given on the page and at least a few sentences of text and ideally a picture. The goal is simply to make sure that a visitor browsing by "Random Page" gets interesting results and one who is clicking a link from another page doesn't waste the click. I think your wiki is ok from what I see although a trifle lacking in pictures :).

I do find all of your off-wiki links (to starwars and wikipedia most often) slightly worrisome; while it is useful to link people to information it is generally not good to drive them away from the wiki without warning. I got offsite in about 3 clicks without trying. There is no indication whether a link is internal or not.... You might consider, on some of the more obvious ones (like George Lucas) creating a short page with information that is particularly relevant to the fan side of things and a link from there to the page on wookiee, labeled so the visitor knows they are going off-wiki. Just a thought, and not really related in any way to requesting help with the skin :). -- Wendy (talk ) 02:52, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hello! my wiki is RFM Wiki AJona1992 02:10, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Inappropiate content
Excuse Brandon Rhea excuse me but I got a problem on http://deviantart.wikia.com/wiki/Special:MyHome with these two users TGcomix and NOTHALCYON, but im not sure about user Brainwurms but they have been putting down inappropiate articles and vulgar language so if you could go over to the deviantart wikia log in and check out My Home you will find the content, please do something about it thx:) AmyPinkRose 5/3/10 1:04 P.M.

And I also had to delete some of it so please go look at the [4] (different version icon) icon in the My Home page thx AmyPinkRose 5/3/10 1:10 P.M.

Also I just figured out that the user Ultimate Super Mario who I think is the administrator has not had the website active since November 14, 2009AmyPinkRose May 4, 2010 11:35 P.M.

Also I found in the gallery some inappropiate pictures, but I cannot delete them so if you could please delete them for me if you can. Look below the deviantart's wikia picture New Pictures (Below) AmyPinkRose May 4, 2010 11:58 P.M.
 * New pictures


 * TGcomix and Brainwurns are DeviantArt users who were trolling NOTHALCYON. Mudkipsplz is a affiliate of NOTHALCYON and me. I recommend that both you and AmyPinkRose stay out of this, since neither of you fully understand the situation. Since AmyPinkRose blanked my user page instead of leaving a message, I now have to fix this mess a day late. --Michaeldsuarez (Talk) (Deeds) 15:29, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

I don't know if you've seen my reply on the Wiki apdoption page, but Spacemtnman and I have agreed to share admin rights.

User admin.
I am unable to get an account on the wiki, but I would like to become an admin. I post comments on lots of blogs, and I sign all of my comments either with -LauraTrealawny- or -LT- so people know who I am. Can people who are not members become admin.? I mostly post on Harry Potter Fanfiction wiki. -LauraTrealawny- 76.214.51.223 11:57, June 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi, it's technically impossible for anonymous users to become admins. What error are you receiving when you create a new account? If possible, send a screenshot of what you're seeing to Special:contact -- 12:08, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Gruntipedia
The link you suggested can't be it. My gruntipedia is at http://unhalo.wikia.com. Plus another user here has already said I'm now an admin. I don't know if he was just fooling around so I would appreciate your help. If you go to that site and select 'community' at the side of the screen and the 'featured users' and you see ADMYAMAMOTO, you're there.--THOU IN HATE SHALL KEEP US BADASS, WHILST WE FIND THE OREO SNACK 13:35, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Heh
I find it funny that it was your account that gave me the "first edit" message on here. How's your ASWS going? A.J. two 00:10, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
