User talk:Dopp

==Bots (Support Request #151168) == Thanks for your reply. As my wiki does not have a community, I would like to have my bot account, Eladkse Bot, flagged as a bot so I can use it on Casualty Wiki (and if possible, Holby City Wiki). Eladkse @Project Holby 12:36, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Eladkse! Your bot flags are in place for both wikis. Enjoy! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 17:54, February 25, 2011 (UTC)

Layton Wiki
Hello. First and for all thanks for the fast reply to my email, I never expected an answer before the end of the day! I shall do as you suggested and contact the owners and contributors of the other Layton Wikis to see if I can get a reply. I noticed on this page that an unregistered user used a Staff Tag, in case you want to investigate it). For the rest, good luck with being a Wikia Staffer yourself :) - Tjcool007 (Talk / Contribs) 22:08, March 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the heads up -- i took care of it. If you see more, the best place to report it is at http://vstf.wikia.com. Good luck with the wikis! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 22:19, March 16, 2011 (UTC)

Bot Flag
Could you give my account Grilbot a bot flag for Suite Life Wiki and Random-ness Wiki? Thanks in advance. Mr. Grille (talk page) 20:42, March 17, 2011 (UTC)


 * Please check with your wiki communities about your plans for a bot to make sure there are no objections, and then submit this request to Special:Contact with a link to those conversations. Thanks! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:47, March 17, 2011 (UTC)

Commentadmins?
Hi dopp, do you think it is possible to add a user group "commentadmins" on the complipedia? We have multiple users that we don't really want to give sysop status to just to be able to delete comments. I'd be really happy if you could :).

 * Creating a new user group might require a change in the PHP - you aren't likely to get your own for just your wiki. Or if you can, they'd probably want you to send it to you via Special:Contact.

Hello Dopp. I am Jake R. It says i'm banend by a user named Angela for vandalism around all of wiki. I think this is a mistake. I never vadalized. I need help D:. I never vandalized, and this was right after I got my user name changed. I changed it from Tdifan24 to Jake R. I dunno what is going wrong. I never vadalized.

Jake R


 * Hi Jake, can you post the full text of the block notice for me to review? (Or send it to Special:Contact and put "For Dopp" in the subject line if it contains any personal information that shouldn't be posted here). Thanks! --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 16:45, April 1, 2011 (UTC)

The TDICamps Wiki. I just can't see the editing box at all Its only a few pages though. And another thing on every wiki after i look at a recent blog post I can not see any comments posted after I look at it.-- Kenzen -  Talk  -  Edits  23:09, April 2, 2011 (UTC)

Yes, but the blog commenting is still bad.-- Kenzen -  Talk  -  Edits  23:33, April 4, 2011 (UTC)

About Licensing
can I not put a link and alter the articles alittle, I like changing/deleting some texts?WikisEditor 19:50, April 14, 2011 (UTC)

I want to say another thing that when they moved to their site, they took a copy of all the articles to their new site without providing a source to here, so I think its pretty fair we shouldn't too, when they do, we'll do too, please correct me if I am wrong.WikisEditor 20:00, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * If this is the GTA wiki situation, the way to attribute is quite easy. Just put as a notice on the top of the page, or somewhere noticable "this article uses content from grandtheftwiki.com" - and then a link to the diff of the article where you copied the content. To find a diff link, go to the history page, and click on the datestamp of the revision you copied example of a diff link. If you've got a lot of articles like this, you might want to create a template similar to Template:Wikipedia.
 * (edit conflict) When they split, they took all the history pages with them, this means that the edits have already been attribued by the licence. As you can't merge the history like that, the easiest way to do it is a link back to the diff that you copied from.  Random Time  20:04, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Is all this really necessary, what might happen if I don't do this?WikisEditor 20:15, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * >can I not put a link and alter the articles a little, I like changing/deleting some texts?
 * You can rewrite the articles so that they are in your own words. That requires a full rewriting, though... not just making a few changes.
 * > Is all this really necessary, what might happen if I don't do this?
 * If you don't address this, the conflict with former members will escalate, and Wikia will need to step in and intervene because of legal threats. It's better if you handle it directly, so that you can maintain full leadership. --Dopp http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 20:53, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok. I added a link on each article that was copied from grandtheftwiki.com to grandtheftwiki, eveything is solved now.WikisEditor 17:20, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * This is much closer to what you require to stay legal with CC-BY-SA. This has to be on every article/image/template that you copy from grandtheftwiki.com. Rappy 17:52, April 15, 2011 (UTC)

 * Good work! We double-checked their attribution requirements, and your method meets their stated guidelines. Please make sure it's on every single page you copied over, including Templates and Image file pages (we don't see it on those yet. Also, i think you missed the Liberty_City/New_York_Landmarks page). Once you've take care of that, I think we can consider this closed.

 * Wait a minute, is this correct: http://gta.wikia.com/Francis_International_Airport_in_GTA_III_Era, or this: http://gta.wikia.com/Torrington_Skyscraper ?WikisEditor 18:10, April 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * I responded on his talk page on the local wiki about this. Rappy 18:16, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
 * Not every template and Image in the articles are from grandtheftwiki.com, some were originally here and when I add the article it got linked automatically.WikisEditor 18:20, April 15, 2011 (UTC)
