I’m still probably not going to be able to come back in full force until around Christmas (I’m barely keeping up with classes & my new & secret project ), but I had some things to show you & ask you about.

 This iz my new project and why I can’t spend time here, I’m using it as a leadership grade/project that will help with my English/Design classes and with Grad Applications in the future. 

I confess that much of the style & formatting was inspired by this wikia & the Dresden Files & Dragon Age wikis as well, the Staff page especially. Some of the first templates are also co-opted & personalized versions of templates from these three wikis as well. Because of this, I wanted to ask you if that was an acceptable thing for me to do (I already asked the Dresden Files Wiki-lads & they’re cool & the Dragon Age one is so big it’s probably dealt with this before), and if you took any umbrage at that. If you do, then I will of course scrap and remake a couple templates & redesign my staff page, but I think you’ll like my variations.

Other than that, I wanted to ask you if (it’d be later on, after I return to this Wiki & my project is well populated) you’d be interested in another branch of the Alliance you have with other wikis, only with this one. Also, after most of the ground work is laid down & I have a general mastery of CSS n such, I wanted to know if I could use that project to apply for a higher-than-entry-level staff position (namely the MotherShip position), since the experience I gain from it would certainly better serve this Wiki in a higher position than Chat Mod, & I already have a history of undoing mistake/bad edits (ask Anson) so I don’t need Rollback. I can show you how to customize the Automated Welcome Message that gets sent to knew users if you haven’t already done so.

I notice that the Founder has also recently become active again, so I may make a similar appeal to him as well, should he take over the current Staff, but I come to you first because you will always be the true leader of this Wiki to me, having lead it through most of its advancement, & so I will always stand by your leadership before I defer to his, though I have nothing against him.

 Help 

If you are okay with my co-opting of some of this Wiki’s functions, perhaps you could do me a favor. I’m trying & failing to implement Custom User Tags for my project and to hide such tags as “autoconfirmed user,” or redundant tags such as “rollback” on admins which obviously have that power. I’ve got Custom Javascript authorized for test mode by the Wikia Staff so far & it’s ready to go, so if you wanted to show me (or just send a copy of the script you use since I can customize it then) how you implemented your own tags that would be much appreciated. I’d even hook you up as an admin over there if you wanted the job, totally up to you. Although, because it’s currently so sparsely populated & because you probably don’t have the books you wouldn’t be doing much of anything until I enlist my book club to help out.

 In Conclusion 

I just wanted to thank you for the good job you did bringing this Wiki up and for inspiring me to make my own. I will eventually come back, but while I’m working on my own project & classes I simply don’t have the time to do it just yet. Around Christmastime I will return & submit a Résumé to apply for a staff position here, perhaps after taking a class on Cascading Style Sheets, and will try to stick around for good. Hope to hear back from you & cya ’round :)
