Welcome

Hi, welcome to Grand Theft Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the User:Grand Theft AJ page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Gboyers (Talk) 08:15, 6 August 2009

Edit war

Hi. I will not block you for your participation in the edit war, because you didn't post any malicious comments. You should know that if you are simply reversing another users edits 3 times, that is an edit war. If you disagree, you need to discuss it. If you can't reach an agreement (or it becomes abusive), get staff involved and STOP replying, and stop editing the page. By reversing the edit 50 times (and them doing the same), it makes it very difficult to manage and messy in the history and recent edits. Any abusive messages will not be tolerated. Also, use of the word "gay" to mean "bad" or "silly" is not permitted. Please enjoy your time on GTW, and make sure you stay out of messes like this. Gboyers talk 00:17, November 27, 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, appreciate it, I went about it wrong at first, but I did try discussing it with him on the talk page instead. However he was a very difficult person to reason with.
sorry for the cursing. i thought since there is a **** load of cursing in gta that we would be able to. my mistake. it will never happen again

Lol, Thenuke neither of us were referring to you, so don't worry. Grand Theft AJ 00:47, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

I did warn you. You have continued to fight after being warned. You are suspended for two weeks. If you choose to return, it is on the condition that you do not get involved in edit wars or arguments at all. Gboyers talk 14:45, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

I can understand that. But some people just get under my skin, most of the edits I make that other people start arguments with I'm correct, and I have proof right now that can prove I'm right, especially about the Elizabeta edit argument, can I at least explain to you my proof? Grand Theft AJ 20:17, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

I'll still take my 2 week suspension without any complaining, I'd just like to explain my side of the situations haha. Grand Theft AJ 20:18, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

There are two completely different ways of doing things. Either you discuss your suggestion on the talk page, explain your proof and come to an agreement; or you can shout at them, revert their edits 50 times, swear at them, call them names and get banned. The choice is yours. Gboyers talk 21:07, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

I got you. From now on, if there is a possibility of an edit war, I'll discuss it on the talk page, and if we can't come to an agreement, I'll contact an Admin for they're opinion on the situation. I guess I'll see ya in 2 weeks, thanks for hearing me out though. And no more name calling. Grand Theft AJ 21:39, December 5, 2009 (UTC)

Claude

All Claude cared about in GTA III was revenge on catalina, but maybe he did like Maria, who knows? but still it's implied that he killed her.

No, because if Claude only cared about revenge, he wouldn't have brought the 500 thousand for Maria's safe return. It was only when Catalina betrayed him again, did he want to kill Catalina. So he wouldn't have killed Maria at the end. Grand Theft AJ 05:04, December 31, 2009 (UTC)
Yeah but even if its true, it still implies that he killed her, you got to at least admit that Qwerty4965324 08:51, December 31, 2009 (UTC)

...That doesn't make any sense... "but even if its true, it still implies that he killed her," ... no it doesn't. I'm not trying to argue, I'm just letting you know, it's implyingthat it was a warning shot. Or else all Claude did would have been for nothing, and besides the death of Catalina, pointless.

Move Page

Only Staff can move pages. You can simply place Template:Move at the top to request a move, and then ask a member of staff to do it. You should not make a new page and copy the content, because that doesn't preserve the history of the page (who wrote what), which we need to do for licensing reasons. I've deleted the 2nd page and moved the original to the new name. Gboyers talk 18:10, February 4, 2010 (UTC)

Oh alright my mistake, I know how to handle that in the future now. Grand Theft AJ 22:18, February 4, 2010 (UTC)


Hey

Grand Theft AJ how's it going, you moved from the other wiki too? Siiiick 6FTofDIRT 00:34, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Stats

I saw your complaint about stats not being transferred to this wiki. That's just something I need to do whenever a user moves here, and I've done it for you, so you now have your full edit count. Enjoy the new site! Gboyers 00:38, 8 November 2010 (UTC)

Alrighty, thanks a lot, I was worried for a bit there haha. And I am enjoying the new site, at least the amount of spammers has significantly gone down. For now at least. Grand Theft AJ 08:38, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

6FTofDIRT

Hi. You appear to be the same person as User:6FTofDIRT. Using multiple accounts is strictly against the Rules of Grand Theft Wiki, unless you have a good reason. Using one account to nominate the other for promotion is an abuse of multiple accounts. You know you are allowed to nominate yourself - but it appears you have used a second account to pretend you have support from the community. Please pick one account to continue with, and the other will be closed. I quote rule 5 below - Gboyers 11:19, 23 December 2010 (UTC)

"Creating multiple user accounts for one person is forbidden, particularly if it is to circumvent a block from the site, to mislead others or to create the illusion of greater support for an issue."

6FTofDIRT isn't my account it's my cousin, he's staying with me for the holidays and I asked him if he would nominate me for administrator, so he did, but pretends he doesn't know me online to avoid any complications, which clearly hasn't worked. Plus he has (willingly) helped me with edit disagreements when trying to make a point. I have better things to do with my time then make more then one account and try to nominate myself. The only reason I'm on this site is because I love Grand Theft Auto, and I want to make the Wiki better. Grand Theft AJ 05:09, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

I can see that 6FoD only ever edits from your house, on the same days that you edit, never anywhere else. His email address also has AJ in it, implying that you set the account up. And if you tell him what to do, that's not very different to a second account of your own.
This is why you should always be honest and make it clear that he is your cousin. That way, if you do get found out (we always check) it doesn't look like you're hiding something or pretending to have more support for an issue. Fake conversations like this, which you did whilst in the same building as each other, only wind us up and are clear attempts to mislead staff.
I will allow both accounts to stay open, assuming that you are separate people. You must not ask 6FOD to do things for you, such as help win arguments or nominate each other for promotion. You of course can (and should) edit together, but using multiple accounts to influence the wiki is against the rules. I hope you understand - Gboyers 10:59, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

Well when I was trying to get him into the GTA Wiki community he said he didn't want to be bothered with all the e-mails and stuff, I told him he could block them but he didn't grasp that concept, so I just gave him my old e-mail account from years ago to use so any e-mails would go straight to that since it isn't used anymore. Plus my cousin has lived on and off at my place for the past like 3 years, we have the only computer he'd ever use for it. He's the one who suggested he put random things while conversing with me so I didn't get banned for miss-use of the site, and since I don't want to get banned for little things, I took his adivce, didn't think anything of it. Seeing as it wasn't really a big deal, all we did was make edits together. And then I asked if he'd wanna nominate me since he knows I'm a die-hard GTA fan that I'd be a good admin, it's not like anyone else on the site personally knows me, so I figured I'd get the support from someone who knows. Grand Theft AJ 21:20, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

I can understand your motivation, but I'm letting you know that pretending not to know each other is deceitful and wrong. I hope you can see the difference between you being nominated by people who know you would be a good admin, and you being nominated by someone you know in real life. I hope you can also see the difference between other people agreeing with your point of view, and your cousin taking your side in an argument. As I explained, it's against those rules to use more than one account to win an argument or help make decisions on this wiki - even if the account is owned by someone else. I can understand how you would think it would be easier to pretend you dont know each other, but that lie just makes it look like you're trying to tricking trick us. Just be honest, don't get into any fights, and you won't be banned. Simple. As I said, I'm happy for you to continue, just don't try to trick anyone. If you would like to be considered to become staff, I suggest you nominate yourself. That way, other people on this wiki can make an informed decision. If your cousin would like to support you, he can say so, but he needs to admit that he's your cousin. Otherwise it's unfair to people who don't have cousins, who need to earn their nominations by being a good editor. Gboyers 22:47, 24 December 2010 (UTC)

I get your point completely, sorry if we came off as deceitful, that wasn't the way my mind was working as it was going on. I just figured it would avoid any unnecessary complications (which it didn't). I'd like to think of myself as a good editor, I've never spammed, or mislead at any point in my whole editing "career" on this site, I've cleaned up many pages, and have tried to help and give GTA-knowledge to many other users. But seeing as this is mainly my opinion, I guess I'd like to nominate myself as well. I would just hope others can appreciate my love for GTA. Thanks for hearing me out and everything. And sorry for the confusion and trickery, wasn't my intentions. Grand Theft AJ 23:21, 24 December 2010 (UTC)
