Wikisimpsons
We had a spotlight a while ago but next month, September, a new series is going to air. Season 22 starts near the end of September so we would like to be spotlighted in the September-October period. We have an image to be used now, here, if you wouldn't mind. We still fulfil all the criteria, I think. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 20:33, August 29, 2010 (UTC)
 * The main page is fully protected as well as we have recently redone it and want to limit vandalism. It still gets vandalised by some users with protection down. ☆ The   Solar   Dragon  ☆ 20:34, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

Chrono Wiki
I am the admin for the Chrono Series aka the Chrono Wiki. I have a decent about of active participation in the wiki, but I would love to promote it further if I get a chance to get featured in the spotlight. We currently hold a Crimson Echoes namespace which still need much work on as well as Chrono Cross section that featured many red links. Although Chrono Trigger has many articles in its name, we can always use more. We hold over 1200 articles pages and have gain 300 in less than three months. By getting the spotlight we can increase to over 2000 articles goal. We are a friendly bunch of people and we continuously moderate for vandalism and correcting/adding anything we see fit! I hope you'll consider our small active community in the spotlight.

LifeMusic Wiki
I know this is our third attempt, but we've grown a whole lot since the last request. I believe we're finally ready. Thanks and God bless! Master Fredcerique | (Talk) 18:53, August 26, 2010 (UTC)
 * We recently celebrated our one year anniversary. We also have an online Bible and an ArtShare project (a project were users upload art, whether music, pictures, quotes, etc., and have them critiqued by the wiki community). If the stubs are a problem, please tell me how I can find out the percentage of articles that are stubs. Thanks. Master Fredcerique | (Talk) 18:23, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Fushigi Yuugi Wiki
Umm, I'd like the Fushigi Yuugi wiki to be more popular, I worked it (along with others, of course) to create many content pages. I need contributors and I think it would be fit for spotlighting.

Nerf Wiki
I would like the Nerf Wiki to be more popular. Me and a team of great editors fixed it up a lot. It has many pages and lots of info. I want it to be more popular, because I have put a lot of work in it and don't want it to be wasted. I would like to see it more popular because it is a nice wiki. Cpt. RileyLet's Talk 03:09, August 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Nerf Wiki looks like a lot of fun, and I'm sure your work won't be wasted.  Unfortunately, wikis need at least 200 content pages in order to ask for a spotlight on this page.  Please ask again when you can meet all of the spotlight criteria.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:57, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Good Eats Wiki
I'd like to have the Good Eats Wiki spotlighted again. It has over 1,600 articles, all started by me mostly. I need some help!


 * Hi. Good Eats Wiki has a few tweaks it needs in order to meet the spotlight criteria.  Could you please customize the Community Corner and add a link to new images in the sidebar menu?  There are about 30 uncategorized pages that need to be tagged.  Finally, about 1/3rd of your content is a short/stub page (less than 300 bytes); for a spotlight you would need to trim that number to about 330, or 1/5th of your content.  Please ask again when you have a chance to work on these issues.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:52, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Rush Wiki
I'd like to request a spotlight for the Rush Wiki. I'm working on the tour dates and discography currently with another user. We just went over 200 articles. --Metnever 22:17, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Love the wiki, and as a fan it pains me to tell you, that I doubt the Helper is going to approve your wiki due to the following: Out of 340 articles 93 are under 300 bytes, and 44 Uncategorized pages of which some appear to be content. Suggestions are to deal with all those date pages, I'd almost suggest coming up a way to put them together like either by Month or Year instead of by day. Instruments are hurting your stub count too, I'd suggest writing the features of the instruments and studio songs/tour songs they used them on. Devilmanozzy  (Talk Page)  07:09, August 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. You've done a great job so far on the wiki.  As Devilmanozzy says, there are a few things you need to do in order to meet all of the spotlight criteria.  First could you please customize your Community Corner (on the My Home page, bottom right hand side) and  add a link to new photos in your sidebar menu?  You still have about 20 uncategorized pages, which need to be sorted.  Finally, you have about 100 short/stub articles;  with 350 articles that number would need to be no more than 70 in order to be only 1/5th of your total content.  Please let me know when you have had a chance to work on these issues, and I will be happy to look at the wiki again.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:33, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Land Before Time Wiki.
It's been a while since Land Before Time Wiki was last spotlighted, and I'm pretty sure it still meets the criteria for spotlights. I'd like for it to be displayed again. Will-Girl 19:51, August 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Will-Girl. Land Before Time Wiki has a few tweaks that it needs before it will meet the current spotlight criteria.  There are a couple of uncategorized pages, and the Community Corner needs to be updated.  More importantly, a large portion of your content is currently a stub (roughly, less than 300 bytes as listed in Special:ShortPages) -- nearly 1/3rd of it.  To be spotlighted you would need to decrease the number of short, stub articles down to about 130, or 1/5th of your total content.  Please ask again when you have had a chance to expand these articles and strengthen the wiki content.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:19, September 8, 2010 (UTC)

Ace Combat Wikia
Hello, I'm an administrator at the Ace Combat Wikia/Acepedia, which covers all information of the legendary Ace Combat flight simulation series. The Wikia was in an absolture state of decay in 2009, being overrun with spam & fanfiction. I talked with a fellow admin in early January, and both of us were sysop'ed by the remaining admin. Ever since we've run a massive sweep in the Wikia, erasing fanfics & executing (READ AS: blocking for 5 years) all IPs/members involved. Our place has a lacking userbase, with new members being something akin to a miracle (note the hyperbole.) We've got over 750 pages, and we're trying to add all information possible to the site. An Spotlight would certainly help us to increase our userbase. Proto  Stealth   02:31, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Bump.  --Havoc '48   16:53, August 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. Ace Combat Wiki looks great - I can see you've put a lot of work into it.  In order to be spotlighted, you will need to turn back on the Wikia auto-welcome system.  Please let me know when you have done that and I will be happy to add the wiki to the spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 15:10, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, MediaWiki:welcome has been set to "@protostealth". All preparations are complete. -- Proto  Stealth   19:34, August 31, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for turning that on. I've added you to the spotlight list.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 03:20, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Modern Wikia
Hello, I am the founder of Modern Wikia and it has been 6-8 months since our last spotlight and we have recently grown to 250 articles and still growing. I would like to request a spotlight not only to get contributors but build the community and have users engage in contributing and social interaction.-- Andrew Schlieffen (talk &middot; contr) 16:43, August 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Andrew. Modern Wiki looks great but it does not currently meet the spotlight criteria.  Could you please add an image to your main page?  Also you need a link to Special:NewFiles somewhere in the sidebar.  Of more concern to me, you appear to have put nearly all of your content into one big catch-all category.  This is not a helpful category structure for visitors, as intended by the spotlight criteria.  Could you please work on adding more specific categories to your content pages?  You have a few already (eg. Category:Ecology), but they are largely empty right now.  You should probably consider adding more, for things such as countries, governments, world events, wars, etc.  Please let me know when you have worked on this and I will reconsider your request.  -- Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 14:48, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

Neopets Wiki
Hello, I am Ben 100022. When I adopted this wiki over a year ago I was under the name Sonamy4000. And now I have helped this wiki. We have over 1,200 articles. 1,267 to be exact. We few editors believe we need this so we can get many users onto our wiki. We are combing through the old pages that were left to rot when RJ and the others quit in about 07 or 08. The wiki was founded in 2004! Meaning the wiki is almost 6 years old. In december our wiki will be celebrating and we hope to bring many more users with this spotlight request. I will, in closing, leave a link to the site: http://neopets.wikia.com/wiki/Special:RecentChanges

Sincerely,

Admin of the Neopets Wiki,

Ben 100022


 * Hi. Neopets Wiki looks great -- you've obviously been working hard on it.  A few tweaks are needed to meet the spotlight criteria.  First could you add a link to new images somewhere in your sidebar menu?  Second, you have over 20uncategorized pages]].  Could you please take care of them?  Finally, your main page does not have any links to the main content.  A list of major categories, or some sort of image gallery with links to major categories would be really helpful there.  Please let me know when you have taken care of these issues.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 04:17, August 31, 2010 (UTC)

The Wheel Of Time Wiki
Hi. I think that we meet all the criteria. Over the past year me and the other new Admins have fixed up the wiki to make it look nice and include everything needed to be spotlighted. It has almost every single character from The Wheel of Time universe completely up to date with the new book out last year and prepared for the new book coming out this fall. So I was making this formal request to get a spotlight so we can bring in more users and start a forum soon. Thank you for considering our wiki.-- OPTI MOUS  18:02, July 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * The Wheel of Time Wiki looks really good. However at the moment you have over 1000 pages in your stub categories (so 1/4th of your content); you'd need to reduce that by a few hundred pages so that stubs made up no more than 1/5th of your content (around 800 pages) in order to meet the spotlight criteria.  The apparent goal of having a page for each chapter in this long series is very ambitious!  Please ask again when you've had a chance to fill in the content a bit more.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:20, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Prison Break Wiki
Hello, I think that this wiki meets all the requirements. We have requested the badges system as well. Thanks in advance, -- ( (  (  ( <font color="00AAFF"><font face="Papyrus" size="2"> Matias   )  )  )  )  ~ <font face="Papyrus" size="2"> Talk  <font face="Papyrus" size="2">AVATAR Wiki 03:45, July 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi. You need to fix the text on your main page, which is currently white on white background and unreadable.  You may find the Wikia Forums a good place to ask if you need help with it.  Let me know when that is sorted and I'll look at the wiki for the rest of the spotlight criteria.  -- <font color="Blue">Wendy  (<font color="Blue" size="1">talk ) 03:05, August 4, 2010 (UTC)
