Hey. I can see you have an issue with [[User:A-Dust]] (who is an admin) "deleting people's hard work". Could you clarify what you mean, or provide an example? You can see all of the articles he has deleted [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=A-Dust&page=&year=&month=-1 here]. The only relevant one I can see is where he deleted [[Talk:Knife]], because that is where you talk about the article (not discuss how good the weapon is). Discussions about gameplay should go in the [[Forum]]. If there's something else you have a problem with, please let me know so that we can either correct it, explain why we do it that way, or change our policies to be more reasonable. That's what you can do here that you can't do at Wikipedia. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 00:48, February 23, 2010 (UTC) | Hey.

:Well, that page you just linked me to is a mild example, but the only examples I remember are the deletion of Yusuf Amir's talk page. Judging by his opinion on GTA IV, I think he only deletes these pages because he hates the game a lot, but that's a pretty silly thing to assume. Still, it is pretty annoying reading ur email to find out that this guy has deleted things you do.--[[User:FawkesGamer360|FawkesGamer360]] 00:53, February 23, 2010 (UTC) | :Well, that page you just linked me to is a mild example, but the only examples I remember are the deletion of Yusuf Amir's talk page.

I can understand how that's annoying (it happens to me on other sites, especially wikipedia); but if you really disagree about something, talk to us and we can figure out what the best thing to do is. I can't promise we'll ''always'' restore the work, but at least we can make sure it's fair and that everyone is treated the same. I know A-Dust wants to keep the "fluff" out of this wiki, and keep it to relevant, factual information; and I know some people disagree (like I'm more of an inclusionist than him) - but we arrive at a good balance usually. I don't think it's because he hates the game, but perhaps he doesn't agree on the significance of some things. I can see that [[Talk:Yusuf Amir]] was [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=&page=Talk%3AYusuf+Amir&year=&month=-1 deleted], but "I want his fucking house" isn't really discussing the article, and I'm not sure that counts as deleting your "hard work" ;) Let me know if you have any questions.
