Template:Semi-Active needs to be removed from my user page
Hey Tom, could you remove Template:Semi-Active off my user page, I'll do it, because 1: I'm using my phone to edit something that I missed, forgot, found something, or fixed something that was edited wrong. 2: I do not if there's a GTA Wikia app though if there is one, because I needed it for uploading images, if I got a message from my talk page etc. Let me know by leaving me a message on my Facebook that you removed the Semi-Active template from my user page okay great awesome friend 😺 Cloudkit01 (talk) 17:57, January 27, 2015 (UTC)

Staff Pic
Hey, Tom. For my staff pic I want this artwork here,.

I already cut it, because the original artwork was too big. Thanks. 558050 Talk 14:27 January 19, 2015 (UTC)

Congratulations!
Congrats on becoming Admin LS11!

EpicPonyMuffins (talk) 17:23, January 19, 2015 (UTC)

Glad to see we now have a bureaucrat who will actually do the job not just ignore the wiki and keep their position. I say the first move should be opening demotion requests for Thomas0802 & Tony 1998. You should probably archive the RfP page though. It is a little full. Leo68 (talk) 17:49, January 19, 2015 (UTC)

The Patroller icon is still showing on my user page. Can you remove it? Leo68 (talk) 22:55, January 19, 2015 (UTC)

Question
Congrats on your promotion, Tom! Well deserved. Kinda sucks to see everyone suddenly leave recently.

Anyway, I have a question.

On the RfP page it says: "To qualify for administrator rights, editors must have been active for four months with no rules violations. Administrators must receive a 70% 'yes' percentage to be promoted. Those applying for adminship will likely be asked questions on how they deal with certain situations. This is to see if a user has the capabilities of being an administrator.

Editors with rollback and administrator experience on other wikis are encouraged to apply, and based on the editor in question exceptions may be made to the length of time editing required for promotion."

Does that mean any editor can apply to be an administrator without being patroller first, as long as they prove they can handle the responsibility?

18:58, January 19, 2015 (UTC)


 * Do you think I could make the request (Since Sasquatch has done one too)? Anyway, thank you for clarifying that above. v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 16:34, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Hey, Tom. You put my username wrong here. It's 558050, not 558058. This is why the color of my name is still wrong. --558050 (talk) 21:19, January 19, 2015 (UTC)

Inactive Staff Demotion
A demotion log has been set up on the Community Noticeboard about demoting the users Dodo8, Thomas0802, JBanton, Mikey Klebbitz and Tony 1998. There is also a move to inactive option for the users. Can you vote? Leo68 (talk) 04:15, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Music on my bio?
Hey! I would just like to say congratulations on becoming a bureaucrat on the wiki! I've already said most of what I wanted to say on tthe comment on your news post, so I won't restate that here. I've got a question on putting music clips like the one you've got on your profile page/ bio. I think that's pretty cool (and I happen to be a CCR fan myself too) and would like to put some music at the top of my bio and I would like some instructions on how to do so. Thank you! Mortsnarg (talk) 05:01, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Alright I tried to get what you mean but it didn't work out as planned. I don't want to bother you too much and if you're too busy you don't have to do it at all, but if there was some sort of visual aid or set of instructions maybe put in a public place so all people in the community can find out how to do this. Mortsnarg (talk) 23:54, January 22, 2015 (UTC)

I have assisted - it's proabably not something we need to instruct users on. Users can go to Wikia central and wikia help. smurfy (coms) 00:03, January 23, 2015 (UTC)

Congrats!
I just stopped by here and found out that you've been promoted! Congratulations man; never thought I would see the day another person get promoted to bureaucrat. Boomer8 (talk) 07:16, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Tip
If you want to remove the Patroller tag from Smashbro8 remove his "Rollback" and "Chat Moderator" rights as he don't need these anymore, they're included by the Admin one. 17:35, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Rename/Delete
Hey, could you rename/delete the pages in the Wiki History specified? Thanks. If you are unsure which ones i mean, i will list them for you. :)  (talk) 20:47, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

I think Smurfy is sorting it now, but i think some will need renaming.

The captures need a space between the colon and the word after, eg 'Raid: LALALA'.

Could you delete pages that dont have images in the infoboxes, as they are the ones that are wrong. Any that do not have an image in the infobox need deleting, as they are old, i have made new ones with the images in. (talk) 20:50, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

I think its fine, i think Smurfy has/is sorting it. I will inform you later if it is not solved...i got way to ahead of my self when i was making the pages, i just wanted the done, not realising what they were called :) LOL  (talk) 20:54, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Hey Tom, can you undo Hold: Operation Interrupt to Hold:Operation Interrupt move please. Thanks for being so responsive though :^)  As I've explained to MonkeyPolice, they need the space after the colon. smurfy (coms) 20:59, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

We still need some pages renaming,as i cannot redirect them to a page, as there is no page to redirect to, unlike some.

Rename: Please put spaces after the colons, thanks,  (talk) 21:08, January 20, 2015 (UTC)
 * 1) Raid:High Road
 * 2) Raid:Farm Villain
 * 3) Contend:Condo-monium
 * 4) Raid:Going Coastal
 * 5) Raid:Neighbor Boods

hope this helps
An easy way to do it is to search 'GTA: ', 'Contend :' or 'Raid: '  and see if there is a result with both a space inbetween the colon, and a result without the space. (talk) 21:15, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Yeah, i'd help too but i cant, i dont have the permission. I'll help on the ones that i can put redirects on though, or try to atleast. (talk) 21:17, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

As I just posted to Monk's talk, this was my fault - I set the precedent, he followed. Full list here. smurfy (coms) 21:20, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for sorting that out, i think there is one or two left though, like Baggage Handlers, i think. :)  (talk) 21:32, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Recreate
I will tommorow or so, as i have just shut down my computer, and it will take ages to save images as it has a problem, at the moment i am on my Ipad, which will b impossible to make a page on! Lol. (talk) 21:51, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Ahh, the image is already on, but it will still be tricky yo make a page on ipad, as i said, i will make it tommorow (talk) 21:54, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

I will do it. smurfy (coms) 21:56, January 20, 2015 (UTC)

Demotions
I think the best we can do, taking votes and the words of Jeff and Dan, is should demote Dodo8, Mikey Klebbitz, JBanton and Thomas0802 to patroller and make them inactive. They're inactive but taking any rights away will just drive them away. CJ Jr., myself, Smashbro8 are all admins now but demoting four will leave a big gap. I reccomended Cloudkit (he is very active but may not respond to talk page messages) for a fourth position as we will have a bump in Patrollers (despite them being inactive). Also, we should make Tony inactive because he explained his absence unlike the others, and doesn't deserve to lose his rights because he has computer problems. The same happened with Istalo. Leo68 (talk) 02:05, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

Hectic indeed.
Congratulations on your promotion. If I was about a few days ago I would've given a yes in regards to your request for promotion. I am sad to see two experienced good B'crats such as Tom and Ilan gone but at the same time happy that a dedicated editor such as yourself has been promoted. I am sure you know the ins and outs but if you need any advice on anything then do contact me. Messi1983 (talk) 12:17, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

Another tip
To see the username coloring changing, do the following:

"After saving, you have to bypass your browser's cache to see the changes. I'm a genius. 16:35, January 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * Internet Explorer: hold down the Ctrl key and click the Refresh or Reload button, or press Ctrl+F5.
 * Firefox: hold down the Shift key while clicking Reload; alternatively press Ctrl+F5 or Ctrl-Shift-R.
 * Opera users have to clear their caches through Tools→Preferences
 * Konqueror and Safari users can just click the Reload button.
 * Chrome: press Ctrl+F5 or Shift+F5"

Patroller Probation
I've closed the probation vote as successful. I added a notice to the Requests for Promotion page. The rule should go as follows;

Users who have successfully applied for Patroller rights within two months will face a three month probationary period to determine whether or not they can retain their rights. The user will be subject to a vote on the Community Noticeboard and the vote will be held by Bureaucrats and Administrators. Andre has volunteered to be the tester due to a few editing issues such as grammar issues and what Sean described as being "too keen". His probation ends on Wednesday April 15, 2015.

RE: Tiny Problem
I think I get what you're saying. If you're still having the issue maybe remove the patroller rights from the user - admins get them anyway. Tom Talk 23:04, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

Re-Promotion
Hey Vaultboy, because of the recent changes in staff here, I'm assuming that the soon-to-be open admin positions will be filled very quickly. Since there won't be many users in the patrollers category, I would like to re-claim my rights as a patroller. It states on the staff page I don't need to go through all of the minutia by filling a RfP if I resigned (which I did) and if I'm only asking for patroller rights. So I'd just like to go to the source. I feel like the more Americans we have in the staff, the better chance a vandal can be stopped in all time zones. Even though I don't edit a lot here, I still am online and on this wiki frequently. Boomer8 (talk) 00:54, January 22, 2015 (UTC)

Weather
You're getting snow in Leeds? It's opposites, it's raining in Canada!! Leo68 (talk) 17:07, January 22, 2015 (UTC)

Also, Mikey stood down, can you remove his admin rights? I'll take him off the staff page. Leo68 (talk) 17:10, January 22, 2015 (UTC)

Demotion misunderstanding
See Dan's talk, Leo and I think there may be a bit of a misunderstanding about the result of demoting an admin. smurfy (coms) 23:26, January 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * I demoted Dodo8 and JBanton fully rather than demoting them to patrollers. However I have gone ahead and promoted both back to patrollers. Messi1983 (talk) 08:53, January 24, 2015 (UTC)

Sasquatch101
If Sasquatch is promoted to patroller he should do the three month probation like Andre due to his demotion last year. Leo68 (talk) 08:04, January 24, 2015 (UTC)

New admin
I think we should knuckle down soon and start recruiting a new administrator. Messi1983 (talk) 10:30, January 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Who is the longest serving patroller? Messi1983 (talk) 10:42, January 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Dodo and JBanton have just been demoted to patroller from adminship so they won't be in the running for the time being. Messi1983 (talk) 10:45, January 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * I was thinking Cloudkit too. Or DocVinewood but I think he has only been recently promoted to patroller if I am not mistaken? Messi1983 (talk) 10:50, January 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * Most of our patrollers were promoted this month which makes it hard picking out a suitable candidate since most of them have only been patrollers for the length of a cup of coffee. Messi1983 (talk) 11:00, January 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * Tony is back online. If he can be more active he'd be a good choice, provided he continues to remain active. Cloudkit is a good patroller but any message you send him isn't responded to, which would be a downside as admins need to monitor their talk pages for info on spammers, page deletions etc. Leo68 (talk) 00:12, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

Page rename
Hey Tom, I suggested to rename Train (GTA IV) to "Subway Car", as I think it's a more appropriate name than "Train", do you agree or should we discuss about that first on the article's talk page? ( talk ) 19:42, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

Large Tow Truck rename
Hey could you think about renaming the Large Tow Truck page to Towtruck, i mean, it is only in GTA V, and it is refered to as the Towtruck when entered, the other Tow Truck appears in GTA V called the Towtruck as well, but the page name isn't called that, because it is called the Tow Truck in GTA 2. There are no other pages called Towtruck, so i thought you could rename it. (talk) 13:09, February 1, 2015 (UTC)

Sawn off Shotgun
Hey VaultBoy. I don't know if you made a mistake, but the Sawn-off Shotgun is not a GTA V exclusive weapon. It appeared regularly in the game without being only available to users who had the Special or Collector's Edition of the game, unlike the Bullpup Shotgun. It also isn't a weapon only given to Social Club users. I think it needs to be removed from the GTA V Exclusives category. 20:00, February 10, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8


 * I can see where he is getting confused, on Rockstar Social Club, it actually states the weapon is exclusive, however, this is definetly a rockstar mistake MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 20:27, February 10, 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree with Monkeypolice. It's a Rockstar mistake. I don't have a Social Club account and wield the Sawn off Shotgun in my game. I have proof because I have never touched a Khamelion or Elegy RH8, the Social Club cars, ever but still have a Sawn-off Shotgun. It's a mistake. [[Image:Smashbro8-Sig-pt1.png|90px|link=User:Smashbro8|Smashbro8]] ([[Image:Smashbro8-Sig-pt2.png|50px|link=User talk:Smashbro8|Talk]]) 20:45, February 10, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

Buffalo/Buffalo S
Recently, a user split Buffalo S from Buffalo. The Buffalo S once had its own page but was merged so I'm wondering why it was split again. A vote has been set up but now a huge discussion about merging Sultan/Sultan RS, Rancher/Rancher XL and Sentinel/Sentinel XS. Can you settle this because most Patrollers won't agree, nor will me and Smashbro, so we need a third party staff member to settle the argument. I have set up a justification section at the bottom however there has been no response as yet. Leo68 (talk) 18:43, February 13, 2015 (UTC)

Quick Question about the Albany Roosevelt
Terribly sorry to bother you LS11sVaultBoy, I just have a quick question for you; feel free to respond or not to, I'm simply curious. I've been searching around on the Rockstar site and other places, including the in-game "legendarymotorsport.net" and I have yet to turn up the Roosevelt's reapperance. Rockstar said that they'd bring it back for a limited time each Valentines day, and I've seen that it's supposed to be available from the 13th to the end of the month, but it's not in the listing on the website. I've checked this with several sites and a friends GTA Online character, but still no Roosevelt. I realize you're over qualified and probably too busy for this, but I figured someone so invested in GTA would be most likely to know if it's really coming back. I do hope all is well with you, and thank you for taking the time to read this! Give me Whiskey or give me De...I mean Scotch (talk) 22:42, February 15, 2015 (UTC)

Split Move Category from Merge
Hey VaultBoy. Recently, I've noticed that when clicking the "Move" category, it redirects to the Merge category. The Merge category only shows which pages should be merged, and I've realized that there are more pages than I thought that needed to be moved. Should we remove the redirect to the Merge category so that the Move category has its own category? I think we should; that way it would be easier to find pages that need renaming. Let me know what you think. 17:21, February 18, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

Roman's Child
Hi Tom. The reason I removed the gender listing for Roman's child is because of the determinant endings in GTA IV. Because Rockstar has not confirmed which ending is canon, the gender of his child is also determinant. Apologies if it appeared to be vandalism, but this is my reasoning. SJWalker (talk) 15:46, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

I don't if you've noticed, but a majority of the images here need to be licensed. Some images are important but they've gone un-noticed for months and even years. We either need to do a mass licensing and image inspection or replace a majority of them. Leo68 (talk) 05:11, February 23, 2015 (UTC)


 * Funnily enough, that's been on my agenda too. I wanted to wait until/if I made admin so I could rename any decent images that needed it while applying licences. I'm pretty sure I have uploaded a hundred or so without licences back when I didn't know how to do it when doing galleries.


 * p.s. pre-emptive strike required.  smurfy (coms) 10:04, February 23, 2015 (UTC)

Re:
That's messed up. We'll have to all be on high alert and keep an eye on any new users. That site he is using seems very shady. We all should take caution as those weird sites that are not on the WWW have been know to attach viruses to computers and are a magnet for illegal activities. Check this out Deep Web.

Another Major Page Cleanup
I haven't realized how many of these pages need a major cleanup. Can you check this one out? Leo68 (talk) 01:26, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

Videos
I need your opinion about them here. ( talk / stalk / blog ) 15:16, February 28, 2015 (UTC)

I suggest we implent a new MEDIA POLICY to make policy on videos and pictures aware to all users by starting it on the image policy page. Can we have your input on the Community Noticeboard? 08:50, March 1, 2015 (UTC)

Leaked Info
Keep an eye out. This user posted a leaked image of the new Kuruma set to be featured in the Heists Update. He then set up a second account and posted the same image. He has been banned on both accounts. We don't need another sockpuppet. The guy uses random numbers and letters for his titles and the image appears to be in the same image it is outside the La Mesa LSC. If the image appears again before March 10, ban the uploader immediately. Leo68 (talk) 07:24, March 1, 2015 (UTC)

Hi Tom. When you get a chance can you give this page a quick check and make sure it's ok please? I cleaned it up a few weeks ago but left the Cleanup tag on and only just remembered it. Thanks. SJWalker (talk) 15:04, March 1, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for that. SJWalker (talk) 15:09, March 1, 2015 (UTC)

New Layout
Check out the new wiki layout on the homepage, i hate it! (talk) | (stalk) 20:11, March 4, 2015 (UTC)

OMG, it just changed to another layout, it looks cool now, must have been a error, it was all in HTML for a sec, now it looks cool, nice work! (talk) | (stalk) 20:14, March 4, 2015 (UTC)

Image Policy Becomes Media Policy
After a successful vote on the Community Noticeboard, the image policy is now the media policy and has info on videos being uploaded to the wiki as well as videos. Check it out! Leo68 (talk) 02:42, March 6, 2015 (UTC)

Staff
We still lack two admins and Sean has been a Patroller for three months so I reccomended he apply for promotion. Leo68 (talk) 21:09, March 8, 2015 (UTC)

Good suggestion, however, WildBrick may also apply, unless another patroller applies for spot in which case they could both have a position. Leo68 (talk) 22:12, March 8, 2015 (UTC)

Good idea. It'll be nice to plug the staff gap. Leo68 (talk) 23:04, March 8, 2015 (UTC)

Red Dead Wiki
Hey Tom, I noticed that the Red Dead wiki is literally Red and Dead, I came there by now and I just saw vandal attacks, it should be noted that almost all editors are "A Wikia Contributor" accounts and the last admin/bureucrat editing there was Queyh, he last edited in February 2, JackFrost23 last edited in January 26 and Ilan xd (our former crat) last edited in November 11.

So either you or me could ask for adoption of that wiki if no one shows up till April 2, I can handle a wiki well, as I do with the Scarface wiki, or you, who is there for longer and handles a wiki better than me. ( talk / stalk / blog ) 19:42, March 9, 2015 (UTC)

We now have a vacant Patroller position. Suggestions?

Also, if DocVinewood applies for admin there'll be two spots. Leo68 (talk) 21:56, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

Well he's applied so if DocVinewood goes for admin I'd reccomend WildBrick142. Leo68 (talk) 22:00, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

^^ Ditto what he said (LOL) Monk is already applying and we'd previously discussed that Wildbrick was keen to apply. smurfy (coms) 22:03, March 12, 2015 (UTC)

It wasn't mentiond on the RfP page but I understand from votes that Monkeypolice188 will be on probation following promotion. If that's the case it should end on June 13, 2015. Leo68 (talk) 18:10, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for sorting that out! :)  (talk) | (stalk) 19:03, March 13, 2015 (UTC)

Patroller will come
I notice people have arguments on choosing admins in the promotion requests. If I want to patrol, I need to get a least amount of edits on here or gta myths. Also get to know the community. If people love me then there's no reason to say no. Wouldn't you agree? I dont need admin rights because I notice people take good care of this wiki. Plus Im quite trustworthy to you. That time will come. I hope to patrol on gta myths more than this one though. What do you think?😐☺ WOT3000 (talk) 01:29, March 14, 2015 (UTC)WOT3000

Online Heists mission infoboxes
See the talk page. 558050 and I have started work on laying them out in the right order corresponding with their in-game names so there is a master page, then each sequential set-up mission showing which one unlocks each subsequent one, then the finale page which will unlock the following Heist. The existing pages should be used for the finale mission only.

I haven't done any of the 4 player ones in order yet (just joined a few random setups and heists) so I haven't personally done a lot of work on the page setups, just the overall design strategy. smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 10:43, March 14, 2015 (UTC)

Wikia crew on Rockstar Social Club.
Hey Tom, Do you still have the Leader password? I submitted a request to join a couple of months ago. Looks like the PSN arm is dead and I'd like to try to resurrect it (so will probably need to be made a co-commissioner). I might even be able to get my son the graphic designer to make us a decent new logo. smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 11:40, March 14, 2015 (UTC)

Inspection
Myself, Andre and Monk have managed to clean this page between us. Could you take a look and see if the cleanup tag still needs to be in place please? Thanks Tom. SJWalker (talk) 17:22, March 15, 2015 (UTC)

HUGE Cleanup Needed
This page needs a huge cleanup. There's been too many editors to keep the page in order. A lot of red links and spelling errors. Leo68 (talk) 18:52, March 16, 2015 (UTC)

Sorry about that, losing my mind (what little one I had lol). Heists Update page needs a check. Leo68 (talk) 19:04, March 16, 2015 (UTC)


 * Some cleanup has been managed today. Red links were valid for pages that needed to be created. I think the cleanup template is now unneccessary. Clothing section probably needs an "under construction" since not much info has been added to that yet, but the vehicles and missions sections are more or less complete as far as I can tell. smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 00:18, March 17, 2015 (UTC)

DLC tenplate
Rain did a bit and I've done a bit of a cleanup and added an "Announced date" field. I think it might also be good to link the announced date and released date to the relevant R* Newswire pages? smurfy (coms) Need a Heist crew? 22:10, March 17, 2015 (UTC)

Good suggestion Sean. Rain is a good choice for cleaning it up. I also think we need to expand on the GTA Online character template. Niko, Claude, Misty and John Marston don't even appear and they're in it. At least Agent 14 and Paige Harris as they appear in several heists and maybe JT Boyd as he can give the player a series of missions. Leo68 (talk) 00:01, March 18, 2015 (UTC)

OK, it's developed a bit more and Leo & I have implemented it on all the GTA V/Online DLCs. We're not sure the "Protagonists" field adds any value though. Do you have any particular attachment to it or can I delete it from the template? smurfy (coms) 03:36, March 18, 2015 (UTC)

Staff
The inactive staff with no rights have been put back on the inactive list, depsite the fact they haven't edited in over a year, some in over two years. Also, we still lack our eighth patroller, and WildBrick still hasn't applied, I'm not sure if he wants to. Leo68 (talk) 01:33, March 18, 2015 (UTC)

Category Glitches
Editing the info on the category pages is glitching the pages and is putting the info to the bottom of the page below the pages in the categories. How can we fix this? Leo68 (talk) 21:40, March 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * I've noticed this, it only goes to the bottom whilst editing, as soon as you publish your edit, it returns to the top. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 21:43, March 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * Category:Armored Vehicles is an example. Leo68 (talk) 21:45, March 18, 2015 (UTC)


 * The information is at the top for me, only when I'm editing does it go to the bottom. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 21:48, March 18, 2015 (UTC)

Staff Page
I have just made a change to show the vacant positions and link them to the RFP page. Feel free to discard if you want but I think it tidies it up and is helpful to show when we have a position available. smurfy (coms) 21:12, March 23, 2015 (UTC)

Colours
Do you mean you would like to highlight the username of a user the same way as you highlighted your username lime green?

If it's this, let me know which color you chose and I'll give you the code. 21:17, March 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * Alright. It will produce a pink username like this.
 * Code:

/* Rockstar Staff */ a[href="/wiki/User:RockstarPressUK"] {color:#ff69b4 !important}
 * 21:23, March 23, 2015 (UTC)
 * Forgot something: remove the /wiki part so it produces a[href="/User:RockstarPressUK"] {color:#ff69b4 !important} 21:32, March 23, 2015 (UTC)

Hi, LS11sVaultBoy

Thank you for your swift response on the matter. We are glad to inform you that all current articles on this Wikia are now appropriate for commercial representation. In rare circumstances, articles not deemed appropriate for the perspective of our game titles will be removed.

Thanks, Tom. I look forward to working with you and Dan.

On another note, do you have ideas for a new admin, and we'll now need two patrollers. Leo68 (talk) 23:08, March 23, 2015 (UTC)

Administrator Election
Please vote on the Community Noticeboard. SJWalker and 558050 are applying for my former position. Leo68 (talk) 02:19, March 24, 2015 (UTC)

Chat Moderator
I think all we need is two new patrollers, as one position is vacant since DocVinewood's position hasn't been taken, and either 558050 or SJWalker will be promoted to admin. My suggestions, WildBrick142, Camilo Flores or Mortsnarg.

As it stands the admin vote is even, with Andre and Smashbro still needing to vote. If it stays even and they vote for different users, we should determine it on staff votes as a few users also voted. Leo68 (talk) 01:08, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

Camilo Flores is now a Patroller. We still have a vacancy. We need a flag of Chile icon for his staff profile and his font colour needs to be changed. Can you change it? Leo68 (talk) 04:41, March 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * user colour is done, just about to look at the flag.  smurfy (coms) 07:16, March 26, 2015 (UTC)
