Community Central:Adoption requests

Bakugan Fanon Wiki
I would like to be a sysop on this wiki. I have been making helpful templates on the wiki, and so, i can do other things too while being a sysop.Digisapien 21:57, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Smallville wiki, again
I'm ready to try again to adopt Smallville wiki, am i able to yet? Elbutler 15:27, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

Open Source
There are countless sources out there for free source code, and this wiki is now inactive -- no wonder, there is little interest in another. Instead, I would like to use opensource.wikia.com to become a common knowledge base among open source communities. We all clearly have common problem as the recent GSoC mentor summit showed and yet the communication between us is really low.

Teen Titans again
(from User Talk:Merrystar) Hello Merrystar, a short while ago I requested to adopt the TT Wiki but you said I needed to make more contributions, and I have so can I adopt it now? If not could you at least block User:Simon10? He keeps messing up the Kitten page no matter how many times someone edits it! So please if not the adminship could you at least do something about him please?

 * Hi. I took care of the problem user for you.  You've done a great job over the past few weeks on the wiki adding content -- I'm impressed!  I see that there are now a few other users which changes things a little.  Could you please welcome them on their talk pages, and make a template to welcome any further contributors (per the guidelines on this page).  And then set up a page in either the Forum or the Community Portal (or wherever you want) saying that you want to adopt the wiki, and inviting comments.  I can help with a sitenotice to make sure people know about it.  If you want to see an example, go to admins on Charmed Wiki to see how it works.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:47, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Drawn to life
If possible, I would like to adopt Drawn to Life wiki. I am a big fan of Drawn to life. I am almost the only user to have edited anything in the last 60 days. I have been a great help to the wiki, even up to deciding the first featured article. I also need to edit the sidebar because, among other things, there is a typo. Solar flute 05:25, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

They ignored me when I requested a wiki too. Solar flute


 * Hi Solar flute! It looks like you're offto a great start on Drawn to life.  I've made you a sysop.  Keep up the good work! --KyleH (talk) 21:57, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

hellsing wiki
i would like to adopt the hellsing wiki as i know quite a fair bit about hellsing and the page(s0 are quite scarce and don't provide much information for others looking at watching the anime and OVA's or looking at reading the manga. i would be able to make a huge contribution to that particular page, so please let me adopt this poor lost hellsing page.

i would also appreciate if anyone who's a hellsing fan contact me with information you may have about the manga, anime or OVA's.

death note XD aka Michaela


 * Hi Michaela. I think it's great that you want to improve the Hellsing Wiki.  However I can't see that you have ever made any edits there.  There's a lot you can do as a regular contributor to improve articles and make the wiki a fun place.  We want to see you building the wiki before you become an admin there.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 01:44, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Adoption Request for Book Wiki
Hello There!

I am interested in adopting the Books Wiki. I've made quite a few edits there and am going to start a welcome template today. It would be best if I could become a sysop and/or bureaucrat there, too. I looked and there was only one sysop there and that person hasn't edited the wiki since August of 2007.

If you could leave me a message on my talk page with your response, that would be great.

Thanks so much,

Jonathan W. My Talk Page / My User Page


 * Hi Jonathan. I'm glad that you are interested in writing about books.  May I suggest, however, that the type of pages you are making would fit better on Literature Wiki.  If you read the front page, you will see that Books Wiki was intended to function as a place for "meta-data" on books; links and information, but not long descriptions.  There seems little purpose in duplicating the type of content that already exists on a different wiki.  That aside, I only see one real article that you have made on the wiki, and you've only been working there for two days.  We like to see people contributing real content (not just templates and user pages) for awhile before they try to adopt a wiki.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:16, 24 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi there, I'm Dizzymood and I would like to adopt this wiki. I love reading books and I think a great book lover like me should adopt this wiki. I will keep editing your wiki with love and care.
 * Hi Dizzywood; your request for a Xat wiki has been accepted; please focus on getting that project off the ground. Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 03:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Adopting The M.U.G.E.N Wiki
Hi Wikia!

I'd like to adopt the M.U.G.E.N Wiki please. I know loads of stuff about M.U.G.E.N.

Thanks, --OpenBSDWiki 00:31, 24 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi OpenBSDWiki. I think it's great that you want to improve the M.U.G.E.N. Wiki. However I can't see that you have ever made any edits there. There's a lot you can do as a regular contributor to improve articles and make the wiki a fun place. We want to see you building the wiki before you become an admin there. — Catherine (talk) 19:44, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Err... he's trying to adopt the MUGEN wiki. YOWUZA TALK 2 ME! 17:15, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * My mistake (fixed now - yay for wikis!) OpenBSD, you made some small edits a few days ago but I'd like to see some more sustained editing over time, okay?  Please keep up the good work.  — Catherine (talk) 03:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Programming Wiki
I want to merge programming with code, but... Well, just read this. I realize that my adoption of the JavaScript Wiki was less than 60 days ago, but I'd appreciate Bureaucrat and Sysop rights on the Programming Wiki. Thanks. --Jesdisciple (talk) 00:22, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * This looks like a good merger, and it doesn't seem there are any objections.  You won't need admin rights to use w:c:Special:Export from Programming; just let me know when it's done and I will disable the wiki and redirect the url http://programming.wikia.com to http://code.wikia.com (although in my opinion Programming might be the better title for the combined wiki -- we could just as easily change the url of the current Code wiki to programming.wikia, leaving code.wikia as a redirect.  Your choice!)  Thanks for your effort in combining these very similar wikis.  — Catherine (talk) 19:53, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * http://code.wikia.com already has a community, so would redirecting it to http://programming.wikia.com cause any disturbance? Either way, I'll ask the former wiki's admin for his opinion and link over here.
 * I actually did export the pages I haven't already copied manually, but I can't import them because I'm not an admin at the destination wiki. Do I need to upload them to a file-hosting service for the admin at http://code.wikia.com to download and import?  Thanks again! --Jesdisciple (talk) 20:51, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Just get the complete list of pages (Special:Export works on a list, and it doesn't have to be generated from a category, either) to the other admin and let him do the export/import? Anyway, I'm happy things seem to be working out well. --◄mendel► 22:12, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry I misunderstood -- I thought you were already an admin on Code. Yes, you can either send the XML file generated by Special:Export to an existing admin (via email, file hosting, Yousendit, etc), or s/he can generate their own XML file from Programming, or you can ask if a Code bureaucrat would be willing to make you a (possibly temporary) admin there so that you can handle the Special:Import.

And yes, if we change the url of code.wikia to programming.wikia, leaving code.wikia as a redirct, all old links will function the same. It's up to the communities to decide; I just think that "programming wiki" is something potential new users are more likely to be looking for than "code wiki". Thanks! — Catherine (talk) 22:35, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * If the redirect won't disrupt anything, why do we need the articles exported? Or does "function the same" somehow mean one wiki's articles will be hidden from non-staff?
 * EDIT: Also, my main problem with the "programming" subdomain is that some computer languages (e.g. CSS, HTML, and XML) are not programming languages, although they are handled by programs. --Jesdisciple (talk) 01:48, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Fair enough; that's a good argument for keeping the url as Code.wikia.  Please let me know when the transfer is complete and I'll close and redirect the Programming wiki.  — Catherine (talk) 03:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Pt.Conlang
I like adopt the portuguese Conlang--Dono da Vila 16:18, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You've done some nice things there! I've granted the admin rights there -- thanks for your hard work! — Catherine (talk) 19:49, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

WP: South Park
I would love to be a administrator on this Wiki! The reason i haven't edited it yet is because I just found it. I'm an established user on enWikipedia, I use WP:Twinkle and have been granted WP:Rollback righs on there, so I know what I'm doing, please give me the administrator tool for this wiki, I won't fail you! Steelerfan-94 22:27, 25 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Southpark.wikia is an active community with current admins -- if you love South Park please join in and start helping out! You can earn adminship there the same way you can at Wikipedia: by making lots of helpful edits and being kind to other users.  Have fun!  — Catherine (talk) 22:42, 25 October 2008 (UTC)

Heroes Wiki
I would love to adopt the Heroes Wiki since admins haven't been on for a while. I will help it to grow. I've already started working on it! Destiny! 01:05, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You're right, it could use a steady admin. Could you create and customize some welcome templates there?  You can copy the ones from Template:Welcome and Template:WelcomeIP if you like.  Then you can start using them to say hello to new users (those with red "Talk" links on Recent changes).  Once you've done that we can look at setting you up as admin.  — Catherine (talk) 19:27, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Okay. I've done that. Destiny! 09:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks; I've granted you admin rights. Please make sure to keep creating new pages and welcoming new users -- it's the best way to help your project thrive!  — Catherine (talk) 00:16, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

College Basketball
I would like to adopt the College Basketball wikia, I have a huge interest in college basketball and I need the administrator tools to get it up and going, college basketball is coming up soon so I would like to able to have it ready by then, I know a-lot of user's who could help me out on this, the potential is unlimited and there's no one who care's about it....please let me adopt it. Thanks.....Steelerfan-94 18:01, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
 * I've already started expanding it, and there's only been one edit in "30" day's! Steelerfan-94 18:44, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Anybody? Please. Steelerfan-94 19:31, 26 October 2008 (UTC)


 * O.K, please don't ignore me, if you need people to vouch for me I know countless administrator's on Wikipedia that would. I can't even begin to start I need to be able to rollback edit's, general clean up please just grant me this, someone...Steelerfan-94 03:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Steelerfan! It's great that you're excited about the College Basketball wiki!  However, founding and adopting wikis is a lot of work.  You recently requested an Arkansas wiki as well, and that request as approved.  Try focusing your efforts there for a while.  If after a month or two you find that you still have some extra time, give us a yell and we can talk about adopting the College Basketball wiki again. --KyleH (talk) 22:05, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

Courage
Hi. I would like to adopt the Courage wiki. It's inactive, and I've been making lots of edits, and creating several pages.Super grit 23:36, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi Super grit. You're doing a nice job on the wiki.  It appears that the founder made an edit on the wiki about a week ago.  Could you please ask him about becoming a sysop?  -- Wendy  (talk ) 02:27, 28 October 2008 (UTC)

The Pretender Wiki
I would like to adopt the wiki on the tv show: The Pretender. It appears to have been empty since it was first created til yesterday when I added pages for Season 1 and Season 2, today I will add a page for Jarod which would have been added yesterday had the db not been locked for editing. Miss Parker 19:40, 28 October 2008 (UTC)
 * Hi. You've made a nice start to this wiki, and it's good to see some content being added. Could you go ahead and make/customize a welcome template in case other visitors stop by?  -- Wendy  (talk ) 18:30, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

English Hamsters Wiki
I would like to adopt the Hamsters Wiki, it is inactive since August 21 2008

-- The Pirate  Ahoy! Talk T' Th' Pirate 03:15, 27 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Aqua Jet -- you haven't made any edits there yet. There's a lot you can do as a regular contributor to improve articles and make the wiki a fun place.  We want to see you building the wiki before you become an admin there.  — Catherine (talk) 03:13, 29 October 2008 (UTC)

Star Ocean Wiki
Hello, I'd like to adopt the Star Ocean Wiki here, which has seen very little activity in ages. Diablocon 17:35, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * It looks like you're making a great start there, but there's a couple other recently active users who should have a say. I suggest you start a topic about who should receive admin rights in the forum, and we can provide a link to the discussion in the site notice.  We'd also like to see you welcoming other new users (those with red Talk links on Recent Changes).  Once the community has come to a decision we can provide admin and bureaucrat rights as necessary.  Thanks!  — Catherine (talk) 18:15, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the response. I've created the forum topic here, so now I wait (and make more aticles). :) Diablocon 18:42, 29 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Yep, thanks for the good attitude! I've left a comment in the discussion there; just let us know when the community has come to a decision so that we can assign the rights as needed.  Keep up the good work!  — Catherine (talk) 00:29, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Ghost in the Shell Wikia
Hello there,

I'm Subtank aka Little Missy and I'm requesting to adopt GITS Wikia. The Admin (Dantman) has been inactive for months now, contents is ancient and old and I am keen on improving the site. :)

Subtank05:13, 30 October 2008 (UTC)


 * Hi Subtank. You've made a nice start to the site.  However, you were made admin on Halo Fanon less than 60 days ago, and you started a wiki for Space Invasion just over 60 days ago.   In addition, you've only contributed to Ghost in the Shell for a couple of days.  There's a lot you can do as a regular user to update the content while continuing to build up your other wikis right now.  -- Wendy  (talk ) 15:41, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

New World Order
I would like to adopt the NWO wiki because the founder admin has not edited the website after this July, four months ago. Truthbot911 22:17, 30 October 2008 (UTC)


 * You've only made one edit there, and there are several other active users. Please start editing more steadily -- this wiki needs a lot more articles! -- and then start a discussion with the community about who should become an admin.  Good luck!  — Catherine (talk) 00:32, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, sure, I guess it is a good idea that one should be established as an editor before becomeing an admin. But what community? Truthbot911 01:03, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

es.tibia
Would it be possible to get temporary admin rights on c:es.tibia even though I don't speak Spanish? I mostly just need import rights, the admins haven't been active since the 29th of august. I want to provide them with some pages the English version have to attract new editors (currently there's 2-3 editors other than me per week). -- Sixorish 07:15, 1 November 2008 (UTC)
 * An admin came back a while after I posted this but judging his user page protection with no vandalism occurring before, I don't think he is planning to come back (/any time soon) -- Sixorish 02:28, 2 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Nevermind this - I guess this admin is here to stay. I'll see if he can import some pages just as soon as I explain to him he's not putting pages in the namespace intended... ~enslaves translator. -- Sixorish 17:39, 2 November 2008 (UTC)

arvores


Estou procurando informações sobre esta árvores. Seria ela uma Cabreuva?
 * No, this is a place to make adoption requests of inactive Wikis; if you are searching informations of trees, see here. Best regards. --Brunoy Anastasiya Seryozhenko ( Talk )  15:41, 1 November 2008 (UTC)

Combat Arms Wiki (UNANSWERED)
I sent an e-mail request for this to KyleH. I'm incredibly active on it and work extremely hard. Please and thank you. I would like to become an admin as I have done more edits than anyone to this wiki. I janitor it, visit daily, make templates and updates, and would appreciate acceptance. Coraircate 22:58, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

F.E.A.R. wiki
I'd like to adopt the F.E.A.R. wiki thanks, I have been editing there on and off since December 2007, we now have a good community going but are in need of a Admin as the current Admin hasn't been active in a long time. Seven279 08:37, 3 November 2008 (UTC)

Peize Wiki
I would like to adopt Peize Wiki. I am the one who started this wikia some time ago. Although it does not show much editing, the contents is valid and I plan to do more work on it in the future. Harm 12:56, 3 November 2008 (UTC)
