User talk:Hardrock182

Hi, Hardrock, and welcome to Grand Theft Wiki! Your contributions are greatly appreciated, and I hope you intend to stay!

Hello from GuildKnight!

Hi, Hardrock182, and welcome to Grand Theft Wiki! Eganio brought to my attention your hard work on our wiki, and I've reviewed some of your edits. You definitely seem to be editing in good faith, and I thought I'd let you know that we have been considering whether adding a new Admin or two to the site will benefit the wiki. If that's something that would interest you, you may want to take a look at the Task List. These are some things that are taken care of on an ongoing basis to keep the wiki maintained and tidy. The quality of your edits, so far as I've seen, leaves nothing to be desired, so if these additional tasks are something you'd be willing to tackle every now and then, you may be considered for admin-ship. If not, please continue the great work you've been doing, and feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns. Most importantly, have fun! --GuildKnight^Talk2me 00:05, 7 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey, thanks for your kind words, it's nice to know my contributions are appreciated :). I'm surprised you mentioned the admin-ship - was unexpected lol, but it's something I could probably get into - my only issue is that I may not be as active on here as I should be(i'm often on the internet every few days and then off for a few days). Nevertheless, I'll gladly keep editing/adding to this wiki whenever I can :). Sorry that this reply is 3 days late, I haven't been online much over the last few days. - Hardrock182 19:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Moderator Template

I saw you just created your wiki userpage. Just to note that you can use {{moderator}}, and I suggest that you do, though you don't have to! Biggest GTA Fan Ever^Talk 07:48, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, I did consider putting that there, but I didn't want to 'jump the gun' (I though someone else had to put it there, for some reason). Thanks for reminding me though :). Hardrock182 07:51, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

If it Isn't Wong...

Hi, Hardock. I just want to understand why you moved my comment on the slogan of Mr. Wong's trucks from GTA IV to GTA III era. Is it beacause you haven't seen a Mr. Wong's truck in GTA IV or because the truck was more prominent in the GTA III era. Can't we just compromise and put it on the Mr. Wong's truck page that the slogan is written on the side of the trucks in the GTA III era and GTA IV?TommygunAl

I put it there because I thought that the truck only appeared in the GTA III era. However, like you just suggested, I'll put the slogan on the truck's article, as the slogan is more specific to the truck itself.

the car theives changed its name to street crimimals.

the page change its name like you asked as well as improvements. user Stephendwan time 6:29:47

Greenwood

Im good at this but your right its only slight resmblance on the greenwood

It's not that I disagree, it's just that the cars in GTA IV tend to look completely different to cars in previous games, for example the Perennial was never based on a honda before GTA IV, it was based on a 1960's Chevrolet, but that's because GTA IV is set in a different "fictional world". - Hardrock182 04:57, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

The Sultan RS can be sold to stevie like happened on other day when i was playing gtaiv on PS3 it gave some like $2000 but its badly damage it may depend on the color when i sold 1 yellow sultan rs it gave me $0.Why? there is another car Roman's Cavalcade i sold it gave me $150000

I'm not really familiar with GTA IV, I only owned it for a couple of weeks, so I can't really help, sorry - Hardrock182 06:26, 10 April 2009 (UTC)

Please remind me for mistakes thank you

"Rear quarter view"."rear view"

Been noticing these changes here and there. Not to be too particular, but isn't "rear quarter view" technically accurate? It does refer to a rear-side view, while "rear view" may referring more to a view directly from behind the vehicle. - ZS 19:56, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

Yes, "rear quarter view" is the technical way of saying it, but I just felt that "rear view" was enough to describe the picture. If you prefer to use "rear quarter view" then I'm not stopping you, but I doubt the average viewer of the article is really bothered about the exact type of image that is being used. And to be honest, a decent front view of each vehicle - which is what you've been providing - is all that's really necessary for the article. Hardrock182 21:35, 17 April 2009 (UTC)

I'm sticking to "rear quarter", and using "rear" for shots on the rear only. On the topic of thumbnail descriptions, these screenshots were taken in way to maximize the number of variants that can be illustrated in the articles. Shortening them creates a situation where another editor may be misled to believe this just another redundancy and simply remove it. Besides, if readers find the thumbnail captions too long, they can skip it, but to have them removed outright eliminates clarity. What do we have to lose with detailed descriptions?

Also, the rear shot may be used as identification (i.e. when you need to spot one of them in game) and a reference point when describing the vehicle's design, so I see nothing wrong having both front and rear shots in the article (with several exceptions). - ZS 10:30, 19 April 2009 (UTC)

Cleanup Project

Hi Hardrock. As part of our first Cleanup Project, I have assigned some tasks to staff members. This way, all the tasks get done, not just the obvious ones. Could you have a go at Special:Disambiguations and try and fix as many pages as possible? The pages there link to disambiguation pages instead of the actual pages - and most of them should be fixed. If you could do as many as you feel you can, then that would be great. Just ask if you have any questions, or read the project page. Thanks - Gboyers ^talk 20:54, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Okay, no problem at all - not sure if you expected a reply, but I thought I'd do so anyway. - Hardrock182 21:36, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

Hello from iMJR

Hey mate, much thanks on editing the Article; Pogo the Monkey (game). Seems I forgot to add some stuff. --IMJR 22:35, 24 May 2009 (UTC)

No problem, just doing what I do. Also, I'd just like to remind you to post new messages at the bottom of talk pages, not the top. It's no big deal, but that's what everyone else usually does - no worries though, no harm done :). - Hardrock182 22:44, 24 May 2009 (UTC)
