Lhikan634 Thank you very much for your suggestions

Thank you especially for the link to Community Creation Policy. "Public editing: Communities are about working together, and all Wikia communities are open to the public to edit. There is no option to restrict editing to the founder or to a particular group" very much applies to this case.

I checked the articles I linked to above, and learned that Wikia staff avoid getting involved in cases like this. They much prefer communities to be self-regulated, and I agree with their reasoning.

You are right; I could have simply removed the admin status. However, the user returned before my adoption was complete, so I was loath to do so. I was really hoping to work things out. In fact, I decided to extend the initial week to two to give the editor more time. Unfortunately, this did not improve the situation.

I have written what I intend to be an encouraging message for the user for whom I will now be relieving the responsibilities of adminship. I will encourage them to continue being productive as an editor, and will leave the option open for possible adminship in the future.

Thanks again!

ADDITION: Interestingly, according to Special Statistics for the website, there are seven people who edited the site in the last 30 days. I don't know if that's accurate or not, but that's what the page indicates.
