			:As always, I'll contribute greatly to the wiki, but now in a more responsible and aware way, as the staff is somehow the "role models" of the wiki. And, since I'm given new rights/tools, I'll use the extra rights/tools with care and responsibility, and when needed. I'd also like to help out more if I do become staff, as that is one major thing a staff should do. [[User:Masterpogihaha\|Masterpogihaha]] 14:58, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

	:I learned to use the wiki by viewing the wikitext source, and comparing it to the article page. I learned how to do links, templates, etc by doing this, so I guess that's pretty good for me. I have this idea of, while signing in as a new user, to tick a box whether you have read the help section or at least one wiki source, but I think some people will just tick it without reading, so, I guess that won't work out well. Another idea is that they should obtain a certain amount of edits first before they go out creating new pages; this is to make sure they're somehow experienced. Probably this will work out better, but I'm not sure how many edits first should you make.

	Can you think of anything that we (as the wiki, or as staff) could do to help new users understand the wiki better, and to be able to contribute good content earlier? Do you believe they should learn how to edit (eg at [[Help]] and [[Sandbox]]) before launching head-first into complicated articles (often full of strange code)? Or you do think they should use the wiki to learn, adding content at the expense of article quality (like the above example pages)? There's no right answer, every wiki does it differently, so which would you choose?

	:First, about the Vinewood glitch. It is not really worthy or well-constructed enough to be in its own article, so I would probably have moved the content to [[Glitches#GTA San Andreas]] and redirected the "Vinewood Glitch" page to Glitches#GTA San Andreas. Second, for the mysteries thing, I would have somehow tried to merge it with the content of [[Myths in GTA San Andreas]], or move it to their respective pages if it is worthy enough. But honestly, everything I could understand from the mysteries article is found already somewhere else (Myths of GTA San Andreas), and it is pretty much unorganized, so I would have simply put the {{template\|prod}} template to the article.

			:I would first edit his/her mistake, explain to him/her why is it like that, and tell him to do the correct thing in the future, all while being friendly. Always have to have a positive attitude, right? If ever, though, he repeats it again, I'll just have to remind the person again, still being friendly and all. I'm certain that the problems will somehow change and be less of a problem. [[User:Masterpogihaha\|Masterpogihaha]] 14:30, 29 June 2009 (UTC)
