Hi, Hardrock182, and welcome to Grand Theft Wiki! [[User:Eganio|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 [[Administrators|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 [[User:Gboyers/Tasks|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! --[[ | Hi, Hardrock182, and welcome to Grand Theft Wiki! [[User:Eganio|Eganio]] brought to my attention your hard work on our wiki, and I've reviewed some of your edits.

: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. - [[User:Hardrock182|Hardrock182]] 19:47, 10 July 2008 (UTC) | :Hey, thanks for your kind words, it's nice to know my contributions are appreciated :).

Special:Disambiguations | == Cleanup Project == | ||
Hi Hardrock. As part of our first [[Project:Cleanup Projects|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:Cleanup Projects|project page]]. Thanks - [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 20:54, 25 April 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.

==Cleanup Project== | |||
Hey Hardrock182, the second phas of the [[Grand Theft Wiki:Cleanup Projects|Cleanup Project]] is underway. Instead of assigning out tasks to people, I'll let you go there and pick your own. Just sign your name next to the tasks you'd personally like to help out with, and get underway. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 23:04, 14 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
== Unnecessary Editing == | |||
Hey. I noticed your grumble [http://www.grandtheftwiki.com/index.php?title=The_Lost_Brotherhood&diff=prev&oldid=104676 here]. If the user is having difficulty understanding something, or repeatedly does the wrong thing, then you should talk to them and help the out. Most of the role of a staff member is about helping people to do the right thing, not just fixing it yourself. Teach a man to fish etc. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 15:38, 27 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
:Yeah, I'm sorry about that. I'm aware that I'm supposed to help other users most of the time, but to be absolutely truthful with you, there are ''far'' too many editors like that these days, and I really don't have the patience to tell each and every one of them what they are doing wrong. Sorry for being so blunt, but I didn't see any point in lying. However, I ''will'' obviously take what you said into consideration and apply that to any similar situations that occur in-future. While I'm here, I amy as well inform you that - incase you didn't know - I'm going to be less active than I used to (I have a message on my [[User:Hardrock182|userpage]]), I'm not leaving, though. Whenever I'm here from now on, I'll mostly just focus on helping out with the Cleanup Project and anything else that needs done, as well as checking the Recent Changes. If you feel that my inactivity means that I am no longer required as staff, then that's fine - although the admin tools/abilities are proving to be very useful in most situations. Nevertheless, I will try to be more helpful/vocal with users who appear to be having problems or are misunderstanding something. - [[User:Hardrock182|Hardrock182]] 18:36, 27 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
That's fair enough - I appreciate your honesty. And yes I am aware how soul-destroying it is to repeat the same explanation a billion times to people who just don't understand. However, if there is a ''repeated'' mistake, it's easier to point it out once than it is to come back and fix it 20 times. If one article keeps being wrongly changed by multiple users, use that talk page. If one user makes similar mistakes across several pages, use their talk page. Just helps it stop happening, and if it keeps going then at least we tried to help them. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 15:41, 28 June 2009 (UTC) | |||
==Category== | |||
Hows it going. I was just wondering if pedestrians such as [[Hippies]] and [[Preachers]] should be placed under the charecters category instead of the Pedestrians category. I changed the charecters category on those two pages to the pedestrians category. Should I have done that? --[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]] 10:54, 13 July 2009 (UTC) | |||
==Helicopters?== | |||
I thought I might ask you this, since you helped me out last time. I think that the following three pages: | |||
[[Helicopter]] | |||
[[Helicopter (GTA Chinatown Wars)]] | |||
[[Helicopter (GTA III)]] | |||
Should all be placed under one article with the name; Uncontrolable Helicopters or somthing along those lines. They basically refer to the same thing and they should be placed under one page with appropriate sub-headings. This is just a suggestion. It would make browsing all the uncontrollable helicopters much easier. Redirects should be created to the page with the old pages headings. | |||
This is just a suggestion. Pay it no mind if you wish, I just think it would make things easier and less clutterd. | |||

Hello Hardrock182 it's andrew nicholson | |||
thank you for greeting me when I first joined this website.I have found this website very helpful as I have been wondering what the GTA cars are in real life. | |||
I have gained my 1st award for making 5 edits earlier this week and I'm very happy. | |||
I recently edited the contender page by saying that the contender is based on the Ford F150 SVT Raptor. However a certain user called ZS has disagreed with me I have explained the reason why I think the contender is based on the raptor, but what does he know about cars I have been interested in cars since I was a baby. I know more about cars than he does can you please tell him that I am 99% that I am correct about the contender being the raptor I will be grateful and I will sort out your Go cart editing problem. | |||
Yours Scincerely | |||

== Vehicles in GTA IV Era == | |||
Hardrock182, you are really pissing me off. I created a page called "Vehicles in GTA IV Era" and you deleted it you piece of shit. I created it so people didn't have to keep going from pages: Vehicles in GTA IV, Vehicles in The Lost and Damned and Vehicles in The Ballad of Gay Tony to know all the cars in the GTA IV Era. But You had to delete it you fuck. | |||
:I agree with Olivercooke, we should create "Vehicles in xy Era" pages. --[[User:DT-boy|DT-boy]] 09:22, October 18, 2009 (UTC) | |||
::First things first Olivercooke, you're obviously not aware of this, but it ''is'' actually possible to discuss something online without "having" to resort to childish name-calling in a futile attempt to insult the person you have a problem with. Secondly, swearing is against the [[Grand Theft Wiki:Rules|rules of this wiki]], so if you choose to continue acting in such a manner, you will mostly likely end up being blocked. Third, while you ''are'' showing some consideration for other users by making that article, there is ''really'' no need for it (as I already explained in my deletion summaries) - it only takes a few seconds to search for "vehicles in [game name]", and even with the "Vehicles in GTA IV Era" article, the user would still be required to search for it, so as I said, there isn't really any point in having it at all. The fact that you didn't bother linking any articles to "Vehicles in GTA IV Era" either, further reduces their necessity. We also don't need two identical articles with slightly different names, as you did yesterday - you created "Vehicles in GTA IV Era" and then almost immediately after, you created "Vehicles in GTA IV, The Lost and Damned and Ballad of Gay Tony" - the latter of which hasn't even been released yet, and there's no way to know that TBoGT is the last game of the GTA IV Era. Lastly, please remember to sign your talk page comments using four tildes (<nowiki>~~~~</nowiki>). - [[User:Hardrock182|Hardrock182]] 11:06, October 18, 2009 (UTC) | |||
:::OK Hardrock182, I'm sorry for the language I displayed. I was a bit angry because it took me about an hour to make the article. I'll stick to editing articles which have incorrect info in.-- [[User:Olivercooke|Olivercooke]] 11.58, October 19, 2009 | |||
Don't worry about it, I can understand that it took you some time to create that article, however, the article (and all of its content) can easily be restored if it turns out that the article ''is'' necessary - so all the time you spent creating it hasn't really gone to waste. If you think an article of that type may be required for something else, or if you just have an idea for a different sort of article at any point in the future, I suggest that you discuss it first - that way we can all come an agreement as to whether or not it is necessary. One last thing, while, you ''were'' being considerate by removing the swearing from your comment, that's not normally seen as a good thing - regardless of your ''actual'' intentions, it may be seen as an attempt to make yourself look like a better person, and also makes the first half of my response to you seem a bit random and unnecessary. Depending on the circumstances, that can also be a blockable offense, although, in this case, it isn't. Nevertheless, I'm sorry to say, but I had to revert the edits you made to your comment - it's nothing personal, it's just for the sake of this discussion. - [[User:Hardrock182|Hardrock182]] 11:59, October 19, 2009 (UTC) | |||

:The way you worded that message makes it seem more like a ''demand'', rather than a request.

Hey - you seem to be the most active user in the wishlists. I think it would be good if we could have some wishlist suggestions on the main page of the wiki, and a link to the wishlist so people can add their own suggestions. I've also made a preload link to make it easier to suggest. Could you pick out a couple of good suggestions, put them on [[Main Page/wishlist]], and change them every few weeks or something? I'm happy to give you control over this if you're up for it. You can edit the suggestions to make them spelt correctly, add links in, and you can include just one or two sentences rather than the entire wish.
