Community Adoption Request
It's up at w:Forum:AR:Adoption_request_for_Narutopedia_Wiki. I didn't see it linked here, but figured anybody participating in this thread may wish to review it as so far 3 people have posted there. +Yc 06:14, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I'm so sorry no one so far notified the entire wiki. Speysider wants to adopt the wiki because Dantman is inactive. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 06:21, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * That is... really... rude? — S im A nt 06:30, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * I dont think he wants to do that, but Just make any admin, a bureacrat (Atleast I want that) —¤ S @lil ¤ Uchiha Symbol.svg (T@lk) 06:34, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * @Simant: What do you mean? —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 07:29, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * @Simant: How is it rude ? Also, the two known bureaucrats have absolutely no involvement with this wiki. --Speysider (Talk Page) 07:30, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * Well thats not the purpose of the adoption request on the community wiki.. that is for inactive wikis or wikis with no sysop. If a bureaucrat is needed a sysop can simply request via special:contact a promotion with a link to community consensus. There is no chance of them assigning a bureaucrat like that for one of their 10 ten bread earners. — S im A nt 07:32, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * @Speysider: Before you start to accuse others about being unjustified in their reaction to this, you should (re-)read the guidelines for making such a request, in particular those concerned with wiki (in)activity. Even if you managed to somehow err over these very clear rules, common sense at least should have dictated that it was unwise to completely circumvent all of the admins on this, so don't be surprised by any of the potential backlash you could receive.

 * @Blackstar1 It honestly doesn't matter what insults get thrown at me, I've gotten used to it by now. As far as I can tell from Wikia policy, there has to be active bureaucrats and since the only two known ones are not active, the wiki becomes available for adoption. --Speysider (Talk Page) 08:38, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * If they won't give the powers to Speysider then it would be given to other admins. This is actually did for the good of the wiki. —IndxcvNovelist (Talk to Me|My Wiki) 08:48, May 21, 2012 (UTC)
 * @Speysider: That isn't the case and personally, I feel the Adoption Request article makes that very clear:
 * "This page is where you can request administrator and/or bureaucrat rights on wikis without an active admin and/or bureaucrat team." (first line of article)
 * "Is the wiki inactive? No sustained editing by other users. If there are other users please start a blog post or other public discussion of new leadership before making your request and allow users at least a week to respond." (first guideline)
 * @IndxcvNovelist: I'm not in any way debating the benefits of having an active bureaucrat, but I don't believe Speysider shared your intentions when he made this request and even if he did, this certainly wasn't the correct way to go about it. As I've indicated above there is a clear procedure to such a matter and informing the community beforehand, let alone the admins (who this directly concerns), is an extremely important part of this process.
