While we recognize Wikia's need for a policy of no-vandalism, your continued efforts to keep the old citizens wikia are only causing us harm. As a plugin for Bukkit, the Citizens wiki is intended primarily for information purposes, and is not the basis for a community-centered wiki, and will only ever be updated by the developers or vandals, hence the decision to move away from wikia. The old page is very unlikely to ever be adopted and is at this point just misinforming users and taking up wikia's time/energy keeping it open. The developers and staff of CitizensNPCs continually get spammed with people who have recieved misinformation through the wikia, on which CitizensNPCs specifically posted a message saying that it was no longer kept up-to-date. Yet even after the creators of CitizensNPCs have shut down the wiki, Wikia feels that it needs to be kept alive. It is at this point not only outdated, but flat out wrong, and this is only causing us more trouble. We, as part of the Citizens Team, ask that wikia permanently take down the Citizens_Wiki located at http://citizens.wikia.com/. Thank you for your time in reading this.
