TheBigGnome is correct - he did a public adoption process and satisfied all of the adoption criteria. I'm sorry, but the adoption was valid and I will not remove his rights.

If you read that page, you will see that the admins have to be inactive on the wiki itself for 60 days in order for it to be eligible to adopt. Their activity anywhere else on the FANDOM network does not affect the adoption of a wiki. Nor are people who wish to adopt required to contact former admins who have been locally inactive. Nobody owns a wiki.

(On a side note, ListUsers "last login date" is notoriously inaccurate; it currently says you last logged in in May. There is no particular guarantee that it was correct in January when the adoption request was made).

TheBigGnome was promoted nearly 5 months ago and I see no evidence that he has abused his rights. He has been editing and building the wiki on a regular basis, and ensuring that other contributions are valid and not spam or vandalism. The block that you dislike was a positive effort to improve the wiki - preferring primary sources over copying information found on other sites is one of the best ways to ensure that the wiki will be high quality and not just a weak derivative of something else.
