I wouldn't recommend you as an administrator since you vandalised at Liberapedia.  I have no reason to block you here but you aren't the type I would trust. [[ User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 04:07, 11 April 2013 (PDT)

Why not?  That was almost two months ago.--[[User:Arctodus24|Arctodus24]] 05:44, 11 April 2013 (PDT)

It will take years before I trust you if ever.  You are welcome to contribute responsibly. [[ User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 10:10, 11 April 2013 (PDT)

Just saw your messages about spam (I don't visit very often!).  I'll investigate the odd redirects, and also upgrade the wiki to the latest software, over the next few days (currently helping someone else with a wiki!)  --[[User:Paul|Paul]] 03:35, 12 July 2013 (PDT)

Thanks, it's not urgent and can wait till you have time.  I'm sure there are more bad redirects than those I've found, please visit once a month at least for updates. [[ User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 04:45, 12 July 2013 (PDT)

I think I fixed the odd redirects problem, but please take a look and see what you think. [[ User:Paul|Paul]] 05:25, 2 August 2013 (PDT)

I also tried deleting and recreating, that just recreates the same problem, this needs someone who really understands computers.  Than ks for deleting some spam I overlooked. [[ User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 09:09, 2 August 2013 (PDT)

I've not given up on the strange spam page issue - I've worked out it's a lot more common than we'd thought (even the Main Page suffers from it), and I can't work out how to fix it.  At this point I think we may need to burn the wiki with fire from space to get rid of the issue.  Can you email me to discuss - I use google's email service, using the name verloren.

If you needed my help here, I sure need an eye for typos [http://palaeos.com/review.html there] and other sundry niggling. 

+

+

In any case, once I'm finished cleaning up the dotcom site, I would propose scrapping this version.  As Christopher Taylor said this seems to be a dead community.  Rest assured we'll salvage as much content as possible to add to Palaeos.com, though Talk pages will only be retained offline for as long as they are a useful source of commentary.  You're welcome to contribute as you can afterward.

I'll protect this wiki from spam as well as I can as long as it exists.  I agree it isn't doing very much and won't object to scrapping it. [[ User:Proxima Centauri|Proxima Centauri]] 11:12, 7 July 2014 (PDT)

:Thank you very much for your comprehension and for fighting the good fight :-) I'll be sure to drop in once in a while to check if my help is needed to clean spam.  --[[User:Dracontes|Dracontes]] 03:10, 10 October 2014 (PDT)

==Contributors==

Hi Proxima Centauri.  Out of something akin to idle curiosity, I took a look at the rather long list of declared users (user list).  Many obviously, or at least apparently, based on their choice of name, show little promise for meaningful contribution.  Is there a way of purging the list without deleting those who do or might well contribute some time?  Of course this is your call as an administrator.

It seems, based on a review of histories of various pages that not much more than a couple of handfuls of use are actual contributors so far.  Check for example [[Cephalopoda]] and [[Bivalvia]].
