User talk:Meighan

Hi Meighan. I saw you were the staff member that welcomed our founder to this wiki, so I figured you'd be a good first place to start with this issue. I am an administrator on this wiki (http://harrypotterrolep.wikia.com/) and we're having a bit of an odd issue with a user. User:Ashikkansar has created two wikis claiming to be related to our wiki, and we don't want any part of them. In fact, we want them taken down. They are http://expelliarmus.wikia.com/ and http://azkaban.wikia.com/. Is this possible? JDRooDigger (Owl Me ) 00:54, September 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * Hi JDRooDigger - It seems like Ashikkansar is trying to be a part of the community by adding these two wikis. Is it really a problem for him/her to have created them? If anything it just shows that you have an opportunity to build out your community -- those wikis may attract other HP Role players to your wiki, which is awesome! But if you really do not want to be connected/related -- I would just simply ignore. But I think it's important for you to try and work to help integrate those wikis and invite Ashikkansar to take part in HP Role play wiki. Let me know how it goes! And good luck! --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 21:59, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

Thank you for your reply. It's good to hear the opinion of a Wikia staff member. Honestly, I personally didn't percieve him as too big of a threat (although an Azkaban wiki kind of defeats the purpose of blocking users in my eyes). It was more our founder User:Hpsuperfan) that wanted it taken down. Ashikkansar has contributed greatly to this wiki, and I don't want you to think that we don't value him; he is a great asset. Perhaps we could just percieve the wikis as good advertisement for our own. Again, thank you for your time. JDRooDigger (Owl Me ) 22:41, September 29, 2011 (UTC)


 * I think that is the best attitude! Asking him to take down something he created that is ultimately fun is to put it lightly: kind of disrespectful. It also might damage what you guys are trying to do here, and hurt your relationship with Ashikkansar. That's probably not what you are looking to do. I like your attitude to look at it as a way to help what you are trying to achieve, that is a great way to build a larger community. Plus, it might be good practice to just talk with Ashikkansar about what his intentions are around those 2 wikis. Education on both parts might be really helpful. Keep up the good work. --Meighan http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb32675/wikia/images/e/e9/WikiaStaff.png (help forum | blog) 23:50, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
