	Do you feel that editors should ask before making edits to articles? --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight\|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight\|Talk2me]]</sup> 04:01, 3 May 2009 (UTC)		Do you feel that editors should ask before making edits to articles? --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight\|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight\|Talk2me]]</sup> 04:01, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

	Of course not, pretty much anyone is encouraged to register and help/contribute, so if they ''had'' to ask before editing, then they may be discouraged from editing altogether - which would "hurt" the community aspect of this wiki. However, if for example, they think an article should be drastically changed or laid out in a different way, then they should discuss their thoughts on the article's talk page - to see whether people agree or disagree. - [[User:Hardrock182\|Hardrock182]] 23:50, 3 May 2009 (UTC)		:Of course not, pretty much anyone is encouraged to register and help/contribute, so if they ''had'' to ask before editing, then they may be discouraged from editing altogether - which would "hurt" the community aspect of this wiki.

	Since becoming a moderator, how has your perspective of the wiki changed?

[[User:Gboyers\|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers\|talk]]</sup> 22:07, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

			My perspective ''has'' changed - mostly due to the Cleanup Project, I've realised that I need to be more careful when I edit articles in future, as one wrong link can easily screw things up and make the process of "cleaning up" much more tedious and time-consuming. I've also realised that a lot of time and effort can be needed to keep things running smoothly, but in the end it's all worth it. - [[User:Hardrock182\|Hardrock182]] 15:56, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

			From what I can tell, it is a "step up" from a Moderator; more tools and more responsibilities. Of course, I will just continue contributing in the same way that I ''always'' have, but now I can delete duplicate images, block vandals etc (although, I'm still aware that what appears to "vandalism" may actually be a user's mistake, but in recent months, actual vandals have made their intentions pretty obvious). I'm also going to try and get more involved in duscussions on talk pages, as well as try to complete some [[Project:Tasks\|tasks]], without being reminded to do so - as those are things that I don't do very often. - [[User:Hardrock182\|Hardrock182]] 15:56, 2 May 2009 (UTC)

Administrators are quite heavily involved in the rules and management of the wiki (although not in charge of it), so is there anything you would like to change about this wiki?

			Well, in my opinion, I think we should make new users more aware of the Policy and Wiki Style Guide, as over the past few months, we have had several users who registered and added things which were either, irrelevant, or required constant cleanup (due to bad spelling, wrong writing style, or not using a neutral point of view). I know that's part of our job as staff, but there's more important things for us to be getting on with. I've also noticed a couple of users who decided to make changes to articles based on their personal opinion about an aspect of it's layout, without using the talk page first. Apart from that, everything else is fine. - [[User:Hardrock182\|Hardrock182]] 15:56, 2 May 2009 (UTC)
