What do you think is the main role of an [[Administrator]]? | What do you think is the main role of an [[Administrator]]? | ||
:I think an Administrator should be like any other editor, but with the rights that come with the badge. More importantly they need to be able to handle the authority that comes with them and use them in the appropriate way when they need to be used.

What do you think is the hardest thing for new editors to get the hang of (whether a technical skill, a policy or just the way we do things here); how would you spot they were having difficulty; and how would you help them? Maybe explain what was the hardest thing you've had to learn whilst being here? | What do you think is the hardest thing for new editors to get the hang of (whether a technical skill, a policy or just the way we do things here); how would you spot they were having difficulty; and how would you help them?

:For users that are completely new to Wiki editing (like I was myself when I came here), I think there are lots of new words and terms that are used on a Wiki that you don't know what they mean at first. I think there are many "Whats", "Whys" and "Hows" regarding them at first. "Categories", "Templates", "Userboxes" and "Infoboxes" are all examples of what I mean. Those were the most difficult things for me to grapple when I first got here. | |||
:Recent Edits and Edit Count, amongst others, are useful for finding new users. Spotting someone new who does something the wrong way doesn't have to mean telling them about it on their talk page. Fixing it for them and leaving a descriptive Summary will hopefully make them come back to see what was changed and why and maybe they will remember that for the future. I have learned a lot that way. If someone keeps making the same mistake, talking to them about it on their talk page is quick and simple.

:I think I could do a good job in helping keep the Wiki organized, like a normal user but to a bigger extent. Being able to keep things consistent by giving files or pages proper names is an example of what I would like to do.

Are there any specific [[Community:Tasks|tasks]], jobs or vendettas you perform around the wiki that you are particularly proud of? | Are there any specific [[Community:Tasks|tasks]], jobs or vendettas you perform around the wiki that you are particularly proud of? | ||
:Again, consistency. Giving all GTA Liberty City Stories missions an "unlocked by" line for example. Smaller things like that makes a big difference to the look and feel of the articles I think. | |||
:Images as well. I've uploaded many images concerning GTA Vice City. Mostly replacing Polish mission images with English ones, a project which is not yet finished. I think this site deserves good quality images in a language everybody understands, and I fully intend on getting more of those.

Could you give one example of what you think is one of the best pages on this wiki, and a brief explanation of why you chose that. It should probably be an informational article, but you could use a list or category or similar if you explain why. | Could you give one example of what you think is one of the best pages on this wiki, and a brief explanation of why you chose that.

:I think [[Taxi]] is a good article. It has many good quality images that clearly show the subject at hand and good to-the-point headings which makes it easy to navigate the page. There is lots of good information but it doesn't feel like a wall of text when you open the page, which can be a bit rough sometimes.
