I appreciate you letting me know about this, however please don't argue on encyclopaedia pages. The articles are supposed to contain basic fact and description, not disguised arguments or "please look at this". If you disagree with another editor, that doesn't automatically make you right and him wrong. If you disagree, '''discuss''' it on the talk page, instead of just editing and re-editing the page.


I have edited the article to say it could be either the Mustang or the Hawker, and I request that this is NOT changed until you are both in agreement. I strongly suggest you start a discussion on the talk page, and include an image of both planes, so that it can be agreed. Do not edit the page until you are in agreement. If you never agree, then leave the page as it is. If you have any other issues, please discuss them on my talk page or on [[IRC]]. Thanks - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 16:19, 31 May 2008 (UTC)
:I just shortened the article to remove opinion. I asked you to leave both possible planes there until we were all in agreement, yet you still remove the one you believe is wrong. I have now locked that article to prevent this argument continuing on that page. Let me point out the issue here: you may be absolutely sure it is a Mustang, but he is also absolutely sure it is a Tempest. How do I know who is right just from that? Please discuss the article on [[Talk:Rustler]], and include images for that side-by-side comparison you mentioned. Then I will decide which one to display on the article, or whether to leave both to prevent this fight.

==Just a little comment==
Hi, Sukhoi-35BM, and welcome to Grand Theft Wiki!  First of all, I'd like to thank you for all the hard work you've put in here in our community in the last couple of months.  However, I feel as though I need to explain the way our wiki works.  There is no section that belongs to any editor, and telling another editor to "lay off" a particular section is not good etiquette.  If an editor makes an edit that you disagree with, the appropriate course of action is to begin a dialog on the talk page of that article, rather than sending the editor a message claiming that the entire section belongs to you.  This wiki is a collaborative effort, so although you may have extensive "knowledge on the subject", it is in bad taste to disregard another editor's efforts to improve the wiki.  In the future, please try to have a civil conversation in response to disagreements.  We appreciate all efforts by all editors; however, claiming ownership of specific articles or sections is something that will not be tolerated.  Once again, thanks for all your hard work, and most importantly, have fun!  --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 22:19, 3 July 2008 (UTC)
==Blocked==
I hate to have to do this, but you have given me no other option.  [[User:Eganio|Eganio]] is one of the [[Administrator]]s on this wiki, so it is his responsibility to tell people "how to act".  If you are acting inappropriately, it is within his rights to correct you, and being an admin, he is actually ''expected'' to do so.  This account will now be blocked for the next 3 days.  When this block expires, I expect you to adjust your behavior to be respectful to all other editors.  Please consider enhancing not only the content of this wiki, but the community that helps to build it.  --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 00:45, 4 July 2008 (UTC)
==In response to your e-mail==
To address your concerns:
*"I was banned without warning?":
:I'm sorry, but you ''were'' warned.  Specifically, I stated in my first comment [[#Just a little comment|above]] "please try to have a civil conversation in response to disagreements."  It was after this that you once again acted in a disrespectful manner.  The problem wasn't just that you acted this way toward an [[Administrator]], but that you acted this way at all.  Normally your statement would not be dealt with in such a way; it was the escalating disregard for two separate administrators' suggestions that you settle disagreements in a civil manner that necessitated a block.  The block is only effective for 3 days; it will expire at (or around) 00:45 (UTC) on July 7th, 2008.  I am not trying to discourage you from editing.  In fact, once the block has expired, I encourage you to continue to add to our articles the obvious expertise you have on the subject; however, this will not be encouraged if it comes along with the attitude that you have been displaying.  No matter what an editors knowledge level on a particular subject is, is it ''not'' worth the decay of the community that we are working so very hard to establish among Grand Theft Wiki editors.
*"being a cocksucker":
:Due to the fact that this doesn't specify exactly what your complaint is, I will have to rehash the events that took place:
::Two or three days ago (It must be the difference in time zones that's causing me to see both "2 days ago" and "3 days ago"), you sent a board message to [[User:MasterChief117|MasterChief117]] that stated, "Aircraft is MY section. Lay off. I omitted the CH-53 from the likeness section because A), obvious aesthetic discrepancies, and B) because it has three engines, while the H-92, H-47, and Cargobob all have 2."
::[[User:Eganio|Eganio]] then sent you a board message that stated, "Just to let you know, nothing on this wiki is '''anyone's''' particular domain. In the future, please be more respectful to other editors, and DO NOT presume authority over anyone."
::Your response to this was, "My authority is validated by my knowledge on the subject."
::Eganio responded with a message that stated, "Yes, you seem very knowledgeable on the subject, but my point is that does '''not''' entitle you to presume that you automatically know better than '''everyone''' else. Discussion is a key aspect of making a wiki run smoothly because, after all, '''anyone''' can edit here. I ask again, '''please''' treat your fellow editors with the respect you expect others to afford you. If you feel you possess a better understanding of a particular subject, you need to discuss it first with other editors that might disagree with you, and give them the opportunity to see your point of view. '''DO NOT''' act as if you are '''the''' ultimate authority. No one here is."
::You, responded with, "DO NOT tell me how to act, buddy."
:The problem with this, as I stated [[#Blocked|above]], is that Eganio not only ''can'' suggest "how to act", being an administrator, he is actually ''expected to''.  I do not see how any of these comments show he was "being a cocksucker".
*"abusing his power":
:In what way was Eganio abusing his powers?  I did not notice one comment in which Eganio seemed to be doing so.
*"perhaps better selection of admins is necessary":
:I am sorry you feel this way, and I hope my explanations have eased your concerns regarding my suitability for the position.  If after this block has expired, you still feel the same way, I invite you to begin a ''civil'' conversation to see if any other editors feel the same way.
Please do not hesitate to let me know if you have any other concerns.  --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 03:46, 6 July 2008 (UTC)
== Talk Pages ==
Hi there. Just wanted to point out that "Talk" pages are the best place to discuss an article. For example, if discussing the [[AT400]], discuss it on [[Talk:AT400]] rather than the board or talk page of an individual user. This keeps all the discussion together (rather than swapping between your board and their board); and means that anyone else can join in the discussion. Makes life easier for everyone, and let more people help out. Also, if you explain on the talk page why you're making a change, then people can just read that and know, rather than having to ask you. Then if they disagree, they can discuss it right there, on the same page, right next to the main article. Makes things a lot simpler for everyone. Thanks - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 03:34, 9 July 2008 (UTC)
:Along these lines, I have protected the [[Rustler]] article, as edit warring has resumed, despite the fact that the article was previously protected for the same reason.  Please discuss design aspects of the plane on the [[Talk:Rustler|talk page]], as there may very well be other editors who would like to add their points of view.  Because there seem to be many things in contention, it is best to discuss them, rather than revert each other's edits, which gets us nowhere.  Our goal is to improve the wiki, which ''must'' involve discussion and consensus, especially on such contentious issues.  If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to [[User talk:Eganio|contact me]].  Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
