Johnson and Friends Wiki

Hello I am ElsbridgeStationFan1995 and I would like to submit my wiki for the spotlight. The wiki has exactly 200 pages and we have anything about Johnson and Friends here. So could you please consider us for the spotlight? --— MichaelAlive Since 1995! 00:43, January 14, 2014 (UTC)

Congratulations on reaching 200 pages! Unfortunately, in order to be spotlighted the wiki needs to have 200 non-stub pages, which, roughly speaking should be longer than 300bytes. Right now nearly half of your pages are shorter than this. Please feel free to ask again when you have had a chance to build the wiki content a bit more! -- Wendy (talk) 03:16, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

The Gems:A Magical Adventure And Teenage Dreams Wiki

I am an administrator on that wiki our wiki has 228 pages, Which means it can be spotlighted.

Please reply as soon as possible

Hi. The Gems:A Magical Adventure and Teenage Dreams Wiki looks good, but in order to be spotlighted it needs to have 200 non-stub pages, or pages longer than 300 bytes. Right now it has a few too many stubs. Please let me know on my wall when you have had a chance to strengthen the content and I will check again. -- Wendy (talk) 03:44, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

Role Play Wiki (approved)

• Requester = admin: this is the case - w:c:roleplay:special:listadmins (Yatalu)
• 200+ articles and less than 1/5 stubs: 190 of 1073 articles are stub
• Picture + links on unprotected main page: w:c:roleplay:Role Play Wiki - 10 small pictures linking to important categories, unprotected
• 100% categorized, clear cat structure: we had 40+ uncategorized pages, I brought this down to less than 10, but can't think up categories for these last few. For the rest we have a fair amount of "main categories" linked from Category:Content.
• No upheavals: the community guidelines have been put up for a vote since a month ago, but there is nothing active going on around them.
• Welcome tool: user and anon welcome messages have both been customized.
• Community corner: w:c:roleplay:MediaWiki:Community-corner has been customized as well.
• Customized skin: I think this one is in order too (:
• Safe for work: I think so, yes - no appropriate files or language as far as I'm aware.

Looking forward to it!

Hi. Roleplay Wiki is in great shape (I really like your main page) and Ive added it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 03:53, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

RPOFA Wiki

Hello, I am Emily (admin) at RPOF: http://rpofa.wikia.com | I am here askimg for the opprotunity for our wiki to be spotlighted. We are here to save the United States of America! We, the membership of the Royalist Party of America, commit ourselves to the establishment of a constitutional monarchy for the United States of America. It is our belief that to create a true sense of trust between the governed and the government, our nation's leader must be above the politics of the day, beholden to no special interest group, and free to do what must be done for the good of all Americans, not just the party he or she leads. Emily MolloyEmily Molloy 00:18, January 18, 2014 (UTC).

Hi. I'm sorry, but in order to be spotlighted through this request form, wikis must meet our Spotlight request "best practices", including a customized appearance and at least 200 non-stub content pages. It looks like you have just started your wiki, so please ask again when you have had a chance to work on it and build it up a bit more. -- Wendy (talk) 03:58, January 22, 2014 (UTC)

Carrie Underwood Wiki

carrieunderwood.wikia.com

BlownAway2012 (talk) 16:21, January 23, 2014 (UTC)

Hello. Carrie Underwood Wiki looks great, however it does not quite meet the spotlight criteria. You have about 50 uncategorized pages. You also have over 100 stub-length (shorter than 300 byte) pages; that is nearly a third of your content. For a spotlight you would need to strengthen the content so only 1/5th of it is stub-length -- or about 65 pages right now. Please let me know on my wall when you have had a chance to work on this and I will check again. -- Wendy (talk) 04:47, January 29, 2014 (UTC)

The Boondocks IC

File:Esq-cartoons-boondocks.jpg

Hi this is Sondow209 from the Boondocks IC wiki and I was wondering if my wiki could get a spotlight because of the upcoming new Season coming this April 21st. The Boondocks IC Wiki If you could please use this photo. Sondow209 (talk) 22:07, January 25, 2014 (UTC)

Hi. Boondocks Wiki looks good. For a spotlight I would need to ask that you take care of a the uncategorized pages on the wiki. I am curious though, if the series starts in April, do you want the spotlight now? Or closer to when it starts? Let me know what you think; once the pages are categorized I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved list if you are sure you want the spotlight now. -- Wendy (talk) 04:52, January 29, 2014 (UTC)

SpongeBob SquarePants

Hello, I am CalzoneManiac, a bureaucrat on The SpongeBob Wiki. Right now we have just hit below the 20% mark and I think a spotlight would do us mighty fine. CalzoneManiac (talk) 11:42, January 26, 2014 (UTC)

Hi. The SpongeBob SquarePants wiki looks great. For a spotlight we would need to ask that you sort out the uncategorized pages, and lower the main page settings to only block new and unregistered users. Please let me know on my wall when you have taken care of these and I will be happy to add the wiki to the approved spotlight list! -- Wendy (talk) 05:01, January 29, 2014 (UTC)

Munkapedia, the Alvin and the Chipmunks Wiki (approved)

This would be the first time the wiki's been spotlighted. We have a new series and film being release next year so the extra editors would be nice to get the current pages polished before then. You can use this image.

• I am the active Admin.
• 658 total articles. 24 shorter than 300 bytes, 23 are marked as stubs.
• Main page has multiple images and links. Not sysop-protected.
• Navigation / Special:UncategorizedPages.
• No upheavals.
• Welcome / MediaWiki:Welcome-user
• MediaWiki:Community-corner

Hi. Munkapedia looks great and I've added it to the approved spotlight list. -- Wendy (talk) 05:22, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Rambo Wiki

I think this wiki should be spotlit because it has over 200 articles all of which should be over 300 bytes. 

Reasons to consider Rambo Wiki

• I was never made the admin (despite having over 2000 edits) but still contribute and make sure the wiki is in good shape. It still has a ways to go but I hope this promotion helps to attract fans.
• Main page has multiple images and links.
• Navigation / Special:UncategorizedPages.
• No upheavals.
• http://www.rambo.wikia.com/, 216 articles.

(Votesmall (talk) 04:35, February 9, 2014 (UTC))

Hi. In order to have a spotlight the wikia will need an active admin. I checked and it appears you tried to re-open your previous adoption request last fall, but I never saw it as it was still in the "completed" category. Please create a new adoption request if you are still interested in gaining the rights. Once there is an admin the wikia can request a spotlight. -- Wendy (talk) 05:47, February 12, 2014 (UTC)

Steven Universe Wiki

Hello at the Steven Universe Wiki we'd like spotlight to better advertise the Steven Universe wiki. We need this because we've had a small downfall in the daily activity ever since the Winter hiatus and would like to bring some new users to the community. We meet all of the requirments as only 32 pages out of our 204 have less then 300 bytes, all of our pages are categorized, we allow no foul language, and the wiki is fully customized.

(Please note that the wiki is currently lagging so rather then having 204 pages shown at the top it only says we have 197 but hopefully it will be cleared by the time you read this)

Anyway for the picture we'd like it to be this and we'd like it to say "Get ready to believe in Steven!" Thanks---User:Killer365

Hi. Steven Universe Wiki looks good (and very purple :) ), and congratulations on reaching 200 pages! Unfortunately, in order to have a spotlight it needs to have 200 non-stub content pages. The 1/5th rule kicks in once you are at 250 pages or more. Please work on strengthening the content a bit more (you are nearly there!) so there are a full 200 non-stub content pages, and then feel free to ask again! -- Wendy (talk) 05:51, February 12, 2014 (UTC)

Clone Wars Wiki

Hey, I am Evanf and I am requesting a spotlight for the Clone Wars Wiki. We have grown a lot in size, but we have lost some people too. And Season 6, the final season, is coming up in less then a month, and it would be great to have a spotlight for it. We would like for you to use the photo to the right, and for it to say "Season 6 comes out March 7!" or something like that. There are 0 uncategorized pages, The main page is well laid out, we have less then a third of articles are stubs. I think those are all the requirements. Thank you for your consideration. ----Evanf 14:55, February 15, 2014 (UTC)
