Dumbledore's Army roleplay Wiki
I'm Bond_em7 and I'm an active admin on the wiki. The wiki is here:http://dumbledoresarmyroleplay.wikia.com/wiki/Dumbledore%27s_Army_Role-Play_Wiki. We need some new people as most of the users are our admin team. We have a solid wiki, with a user help guide, and aminds that are on pretty much everyday. If I need to do anything else for this request, just let me know. Thanks! Bond_em7 15:49, April 10, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. It looks like your wiki is in the middle of merging with another rpg wiki and choosing new leadership. Now is probably not the best time for a spotlight.  Please feel free to ask again when things have settled back down!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:46, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

EmoandScene wiki
Hello. I am the founder of the http://emoandscene.wikia.com/wiki/Emosceneandanyotherfads_Wiki and we don't really have the users or contributers that I was hoping to get. The wiki is self explanitory, It is a wiki for Emo Scene Goth and other "fads" that are frowned upon. It's not just for Emos Scenesters or Goths, it's for everyuser who understands the subject of the "fads". I am asking for help and a lot of good contributers. Please may you help me?

 * Hi. I'm sorry but in order to be spotlighted a wiki needs to meet our Spotlight criteria, including having at least 200 non-stub content pages. Feel free to ask again when your wiki has had a chance to grow!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:50, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Golden Sun Universe (approved)
Do you like Role-Playing Games? Do you like games like Dragon Quest and whatnot? Well, then, this series, Golden Sun, is for you!

I request that this be nominated for spotlight, as I need some support from regular contributors to update some data. I can post it on (wikias that need editors), but I tried that with another wikia, and I got nobody out of that.--I&#39;m trying to run expansion projects on other wikias, and I need your help. 22:41, April 12, 2012 (UTC)

While there are some uncategorized articles, this wikia is severely outdated (since pre-release of Dark Dawn back in November of 2010). Also, I'm fairly certain all of the criteria are met. --Thenewguy34 20:03, April 13, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. Golden Sun Universe seems like it is in pretty good shape overall.  There are some uncategorized pages that need to be sorted, as you noted.  Also you need to customize the community corner.  Let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of these issues and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:02, April 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. I've added it to the approved spotlight list!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:18, May 5, 2012 (UTC)

Virtual V Wiki
Bonjour, it's Glitterattidiva the queen fo shiva and the founder of Virtual V. My wiki is very invisible and nobody knows about it. we only have 3 other active users besides me and I really want tweens to see this site and see what it has to offer. Thnx! --Gdiva1!*💋 17:45, April 14, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry, but in order to be spotlighted by request on this page, wikis need to meet our spotlight criteria, which includes at least 200 non-stub content pages.  Please feel free to ask again when the wiki has had a chance to grow!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:08, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Wiggles Wiki
'''Can You Make Wiggles Wiki A Spotlight?

I Want The Description To Be "Get Ready to Wiggle, Everybody!" And The Image Is The One On The Right Of The Topic.

Jacob Wiggle The Thirsty Wiggle 00:15, April 16, 2012 (UTC)'''


 * Hi. Wiggles Wiki would need a few tweaks in order to be spotlighted.  First there are a bunch of uncategorized pages that need to be sorted out.  Your main page is ok, but has some odd spacing issues.   Finally, you would need to strengthen the content.  The spotlight criteria are that no more than 1/5th of the content can be stublength (shorter than 300bytes) or marked as stubs.  Right now you have 1730 pages, so you would need no more than 346 pages shorter than 300bytes.  Please let me know on my talk page when you have addressed these issues and I'll check again!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:21, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Omniverse GC Wiki (approved)
I'm an administrator from the Omniverse GC Wiki. We're small, but we're both determined and growing. Almost from scratch, we've built an original universe of a truly epic scale. We get almost no traffic, and would be happy to have either new viewers or participants in what we've created. While we're constantly improving, we feel that we've put on our best face. We could leave a lot of other sites in the dust, given the traffic.

Thanks,

 * Hi. Omniverse GC Wiki looks great -- and very impressive for such a young wiki! I've added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:32, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

Law's Brigade Wiki (LBW)
Hello I Would Like To Put LBW (Law's Brigade Wiki) In The Spotlight.

We Have Over 200 Pages (243 To Be Exact).

Here's A Link To The Wiki:

Sincerely,

Lord Law 22:20, April 20, 2012 (UTC)Lord Law


 * Hi. Law's Brigade Wiki is in generally good shape. You do have some uncategorized pages, and the protection on the main page would need to be dropped to only protect against edits from new and anonymous users.  More importantly, you would need to spruce up the main page a bit; right now it is hard to use and does not really link into the wiki content in any way.  Let me know on my talk page when you have addressed these issues!  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:42, April 25, 2012 (UTC)

The British Wildlife Wiki (approved)
Hey there!

I am admin and founder at The British Wildlife Wiki and we have been growing nicely since our last Spotlight. It has been ages since our last one so I was just wondering if you could grant us another has editing seems to have stalled. We have over 2,700 page and over 4,200 photos. We have been working hard and when the weather over here brightens up we will be booming again! we just need some new contributors to help bring some new ideas and contributions to the wiki.

TheWWC 20:16, April 25, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. The wiki is still in good shape and I have added it to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:41, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

So sorry if my siggie doesn't work! I really cannot help it. Please consider making it. We really need more users!


 * Hi. I'm sorry, but in order to be spotlighted by request, wikis need to meet our spotlight criteria.  One of the criteria is 200 non-stub content pages.  Please feel free to ask again when your wiki has grown a bit more!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:48, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Angry Birds Wiki
http://angrybirds.wikia.com has over 300 pages and only a few uncategorized pages. I request for a spotlight. Brendan


 * Hi. Angry Birds Wiki looks great, but in order to spotlight it you will need to sort out the uncategorized pages.  Let me know on my talk page when they are all done and I'll be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:55, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Evanescence Wiki
Evanescence Wiki has recently reached 200 pages. A new album came out October 11th 2011 and two singles have come out so far. Another one will come out in June and I'd just like to promote the new album through wiki by getting a spotlight. I want a spotlight where it takes you to the new album. If you can do that, that would be great, thanks :) <span id="User:New Captain" class="plainlinks">New Captain (talk • contribs • count) 14:35, April 28, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. Evanescence Wiki looks really fantastic -- I love your skin!  And congratulations on reaching 200 pages! That said it would need a couple of tweaks in order to be spotlighted.  The main page protection would need to be dropped so it only protects against anonymous and new users editing.  And while you have 209 pages, a fair number of them are short and for a spotlight you need to have 200 non-stub pages.  Roughly speaking a stub is about 300 bytes or shorter.  So you have about 40 pages that would need to be expanded.  Let me know on my talk page when you've had a chance to work on the content and I'll be happy to look again!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:04, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Shadows of the Apt Wiki
Hello, I run a the Shadows of The Apt wiki. JoePlay has given us a new look awhile ago and it was a slow process getting to 200 pages. Are wiki is for the book series Shadows of the Apt by Adrian Tchaikovsky. It is a great series and I want to get more members. There are a few stubs but there isn't much we can do since it is a book series and we have limited information. Hopefully we can get more members with spotlight! Lord Loss Demon 01:19, April 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. The wiki looks great, and congratulations on reaching 200 pages!  You would need to make a few tweaks in order to meet the spotlight criteria.  First the main page protection would need to be dropped to only block against editing by anonymous and new users.  Also as you may have guessed, you don't really have 200 non-stub pages yet.  Generally speaking I count pages shorter than about 300 bytes as a stub.  You would need to expand about 80 pages in order to meet the criteria.  Please feel free to ask again when you have had a chance to strengthen the content a bit.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:16, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

Spotlight Request for Ultimate Star Fox Fanon Wiki (USFFW)
I would like to request a spotlight for my wiki. I've tried to advertise many times by using the methods I was told of such as telling friends, using Facebook, and email as well. None have replied and I think it's just because they didn't know what to do or something like that, I would be very grateful if a spotlight could be given to my wiki. I'm trying hard to save it from being put up for adoption. LRT  18:09, April 30, 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi. I'm sorry you are having trouble getting people to join you in working on your wiki!  Fanon can be hard because people must be willing not just to work on the wiki but also to create new stuff.  Unfortunately, in order to get a spotlight by request, wikis need to meet some spotlight criteria.  One thing is to have 200 non-stub content pages.  I'm sorry but right now I cannot spotlight USFFW.  Please keep working on it -- as long as you make an edit at least once every 2 months it won't be adopted :).  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:23, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

The Boondocks IC
I would like to have more contributers to the wiki we only have a few of them.

We have changed a lot since the beginning. Shadoe209 20:52, May 1, 2012 (UTC)

If approved please use this image


 * Hi. The Boondocks IC looks great and I love that image! I see that you guys are working hard on your stub articles. Let me know on my talk page when you have finished expanding them, make sure they all get categorized, and I'll be happy to check back again. -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:35, May 2, 2012 (UTC)

http://duelmasters.wikia.com/wiki/ (approved)
While he have a substantial amount of pages/information...editors have always been on a low number, and with expected traffic in the future due to a new show based on it coming out soon...a spotlight to show we exist can help greatly. Yami Michael 13:22, May 3, 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi. Duel Masters Wiki looks great, although if you are hoping to get more traffic from the new show I'm not sure having a link to another wiki for the new one on your mainpage is the best thing.... However.  Could you please drop the main page protection to only block edits from anonymous and new users?? I don't see any real vandalism history on the page.  Let me know on my talk page when you have taken care of that.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:30, May 9, 2012 (UTC)


 * Ok. You're all set!  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 01:15, May 10, 2012 (UTC)

Aircraft Wiki
Hi, I would like to add my Wiki, I did everything written on the criteria, there´s no uncategorized page ( but the List of uncategorized pages may haven´t being updated yet ) and there are only 26 pages with less than 300 bytes, out of 237. There are still two pages protected because there are two aircraft compared and I want two protect it from vandalism, because there are still people who hate one aircraft and who want to downplay it, but the Main page is not protected ( on the Main page is not a picture, there´s a slider, but the Wiki has a background picture ). And the problem is, there are only two people helping me and it´s hard work when there are not more, the old admin and all other users are inactive, so it would be nice if there would be a spotlight of the Wiki to attract more contributors. All in all the Wiki meets all the criteria.Fightercraft4 18:03, May 4, 2012 (UTC)

Warrior Clan Fanfiction Wiki
Hello, I'm Icewish, the founder of Warrior Clan Fanfiction Wiki. We are a fairly large wiki with many pages, but we are currently lacking many active users. As a fanfiction and roleplay wiki for the Warriors series by Erin Hunter, we have many competitors. It has become very difficult to get our name out there, and we would like a bit of help, and a spotlight might just do the trick.

Here is the info that was requested on the Spotlight page:
 * I, Icewish, am an active admin/founder.
 * 1) We have 486 pages, but an unknown amount of stubs.
 * 2) There is a picture on the home page, and there are links to the active admins an to the Rules an Help Page. (The important pages are also on the Top Navigation Toolbar)
 * 3) The vast majority of our pages have correct categories.
 * 4) We are not in the middle of choosing new admins, we have hive no fights, et cetera.
 * 5) We are using the Wiki Welcome Tool.
 * 6) We do have a community message with the latest updates about the wiki.
 * 7) We have a new, customized skin for the wiki
 * 8) We have no offensive language or images anywhere on the wiki.

Thank you,

Pandoras Tower Wiki
http://pandorastower.wikia.com/wiki/Pandoras_Tower_Wiki. This wiki is about the Nintendo Wii game Pandora's Tower. I am an Admin on this wiki, and I adopted it a while ago. At the moment we are lacking contributors, but we are starting to get a few new ones. It would, however, be nice to help people find this wiki. I and the one or two other editors there have been building this wiki up enough so that we can request a Spotlight, allowing more editors to find us. I realise that many of our shorter pages, while over 300 bytes, mainly consist of templates, but we lack the editors to add detailed content to these. There is no one with the ability to get the screenshots required. None of our pages are below 300 bytes, and although we currently only have 204 pages we are constantly adding new pages, so by the time this is answered we will probably have made it past 210 at least. I look forward to your response. Doom636 01:32, May 6, 2012 (UTC)

Roller Coaster Wiki
Hello! I'd like to request a spotlight for Roller Coaster Wiki. It's the time of year when most of the parks are opening up, so there's an increased interest in amusement parks and roller coasters. Anyway, the wiki meets all the criteria (909 pages, customized color scheme, and clear categories). Thanks for your consideration! MontagnaMagica|Talk 17:05, May 7, 2012 (UTC)

The Classic Car Wiki
Hey there!

I am Admin and Founder at The Classic Car Wiki. I believe it has been 6 months since our last spotlight so I am applying for a new one :). Since our last spotlight we have grown in both pages and members. We need a continued member growth to keep a steady growth rate up. We have just recently started to add pages on classic racecars and classic military vehicles so maybe you could mention something about that in the caption of the image for the spotlight?

Would it be possible to use this immage for the spotlight? Camaro Image (Don't want to upload my random photo of a Camaro that isn't going to get used anywhere)

Just realised I forgot to sign it! --TheWWC 14:34, May 11, 2012 (UTC) (I applied a few days earlier than this lol!)

|Glee Glee RP Wiki
Hi, my name is Orbstar, and I represent Glee RP Wiki. I would like to apply for a wiki spotlight. Our wiki is a stable and friendly place. We have over 55 pages (we will add more as time goes on), and I do believe all of our pages have a clear category structure. We have a stable administration team, and all admins are functionally active.

Thank you for your time,
