I apologise about the errors I have made regarding file names - I'll keep on improving! I uploaded a new file about an hour ago, and I think it follows the naming convention. I just need to know if I'm going on the right track. --KoopaGalaxain (talk) 16:25, October 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * You've got it right now :) Remember to follow the Image naming system, keep it short, include the game's initials in, what it is, and a short one/two word description if necessary. Also, remember to keep adding them licenses! :) Monkeypolice188-Signature-2.png &bull; Monkeypolice188-Signature-4.png &bull;  Monkeypolice188-Signature-3.png 16:28, October 14, 2015 (UTC)

Talk page archiving
Hello Monk, I was just wondering whether it is possible to make Talk pages archive automatically, or is it necessary to manually archive them?

bullying today in GTA5 Livechat
I found your conduct today rude and unbecoming of an administrator or a moderator (or as you call it, a patroller).

You were rude and talking over me in a public chat room about an off topic personal discussion. I did ask you nicely to take the conversation private, and you declined to. It was irritating that you were trying to shout me down and bully me from having a public discussion aboud Grand Theft auto 5 in a Grand Theft Auto 5 Wikia live chat.

I have contacted the authorities @ Wikia about this. I spoke to Andrew Naslund the community manager and he is very concerned. I sent him screenshots of the conversation. He informs me that I have been "blocked".

He has given two options on how to deal with you:

1.  Have you apolgize to me and thereby compromise and find a way to work together so that the situation can be resolved without outside interference. He suggests that we meet  on community central, a neutral spot.

2.  I report your actions to the GTA5 Wikia community and have them vote on your moderator powers and/or membership. "Communities are in charge of their wikias, so communities get to decide whether an admin should stay or go." -Andrew Naslund, Oct 16, 10:10 PM

My third option is the have Andrew get involved and have him forcefully take control of the situation. Bullying is illegal in Canada and in the Unites States of America.

As you reside in another continent, I will give you until tomorrow for your apology. 8:00 p.m. October 17th/2015 2015

Regards,

SoulSurgeon


 * Don't worry about it for now, I have reported him to wikia (see my user talk for what happened when I responded to him). He's also been 'temporarily blocked'. It's permanent, and if wikia allow us to keep it in place, he won't be back. Leo68 (talk) 00:33, October 17, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Fleeca Job Heist
I would be delighted to try The Fleeca Job Heist with you again, as I have been dying to get the Elite Challenge completed, both for the prestige and the additional money. By the way, I could not help but notice an argument between you and "SoulSurgeon", and I was curious as to what happened. I fell asleep with my computer still running while in Chat, so I was not actually there, even if I seemed to be.

Regarding your brother
Hello Monk, I have sent a message to your brother to attempt to convince him to remain on the GTA Wiki: I hope that he does choose to do so. If he does quit over this it would be unfortunate indeed. However, not meaning to sound rude, but if your brother does decide to quit the wiki and vacate his Patroller position I do intend to reapply for the position as soon as his position is vacant.

Vehicle Features: Interiors
I've added an interiors section to the vehicle features page, merging it with the dashboards, now that the new DLC is out. However, I don't have access to next-gen, and I hear you do. Can you do some work on it? A full list of the parts of the interior you can change and some images, thanks.

Shame to hear about your brother leaving, did a great job. I think he burned his bridges leaving though. Leo68 (talk) 04:05, October 22, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Hallowe'en DLC
About halloween vehicles, I don't think they are a leak (since R* included them with Lowrider update, and they already function in game perfectly fine, same with Flashlight, masks, etc. so that's not leaked if it exists in-game), but anyway, my mistake. I got a bit too carried away when uploading and adding.

About replacing your images. I did it on literally one article, not several ones as you said. There is no competition here (and even if there were, that wouldn't be sad. It'd be a competition. Random example, disliking someone's videos along with a friend because someone dislikes that person... now that is really, really sad. Uploading videos to compete against someone they dislike, nothing wrong with that. Artists, players or people in tv gameshows participate in competitions, they're not "sad", are they? Anyway, back on point, there is no "competition" here, just commenting on your statement). I do know your images exist and I have no problems with them. I'm just planning to keep the HQ + default traffic colors images for infoboxes and any random page with a single image of the vehicle - your images will be safe and intact in the design gallery, as I said I've no problems with them (well, apart from the fact these are .jpg but that's just me being pedantic, and I doubt many people care about the image extension). ­ 19:41, October 23, 2015 (UTC)

Engines
Nice addition in the wiki. It's too detailed to deserve a spot here and your way you work on this is basically outstanding XD. Anyway. Keep the good work. -- SWAT Cam F     20:03, October 23, 2015 (UTC)

Vehicle images
Monk, you're doing it very well. Don't worry if there's something wrong on them. At least, you're the one who's working on it, so it doesn't need to be too "perfect". These are pretty decent enough. Just giving a point. XD SWAT Cam F     17:46, October 25, 2015 (UTC)

RE: GTA IV helicopters
As far as I know, they should be controlled by a script which is actually a pain in the ass to edit and unlikely to be included in a vehicle mod. Either that or some other editable file was changed but I dunno which one. Could you link me to the mod, and I'll take a look what's wrong?

btw, the images of Police Stinger, is that original GTA IV/EFLC weather/graphics? The sky and the atmosphere in general look a bit odd to me (then again it's been a while since I played EFLC). ­ 20:54, October 25, 2015 (UTC)

'Clean' Voodoo
Hmm, I figured that since Benny's is able to restore the beater Voodoo we should have that picture there to avoid confusing others. Or to clarify things, add a brief note that you'll receive the beater Voodoo and then you can fix it later or add the clean version picture along side the beater.

GTA Wiki To-Do List

 * Brilliant! Thanks. I'll get started on the articles. Am I able/allowed to make "GTA Wiki:name" type articles? Or is that like admin/bcrat only? Monkeypolice188-Signature-2.png &bull; Monkeypolice188-Signature-4.png &bull; Monkeypolice188-Signature-3.png 11:52, October 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, you can probably make them. And as for the navigation bar, it sounds like a good idea. Make a sample of it and then we'll see how it looks before it goes on the pages. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 15:27, October 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ah, ok. If you make the page and let me know the name I'll add it. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 19:12, October 27, 2015 (UTC)

Request for Promotion
Good day, I have made a request for promotion to the position of Patroller. I have left this message to all GTA Wiki Staff and posted a copy of my application below for convenience. Please note that the timestamp on this message is current at the time of posting this message, not at the time of posting the Request for Promotion.

P.S.: I apologize if you have already responded on the Requests for Promotion page; this message was sent to all members of the GTA Wiki Staff, regardless of if they have already voted.

TAlim 1994 - Patroller (re-application)
Good day, I wish to re-apply for the position of Patroller. My reasons remain the same as my last application, and I only wish to add two other notes: firstly, as per the advice of other Staff members, I have attempted to take a more active role as a policy enforcer since my last application, and I have issued several Image Policy reminders to the appropriate users; secondly, I have now (at the time of writing this message) made 1,097 edits on this wiki (including the creation of one new page), approximately double the number of edits made since my previous application.

Regarding your Request for Promotion comment
Hello Monk, and thank you for voting "Yes" for my Request for Promotion. Actually the "break" that I took was only supposed to be for one month (as stated on my previous request), but I was forced to wait longer due to the lack of available positions. I should probably also thank your brother for resigning and opening up a spot for my application.

Image Policy
Hmm... the both images I uploaded are mine as this is the PC version of GTA V I uploaded yesterday. I could rename the files if you wish. 18:09, October 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Sorry, but you'll have to get an admin or b'crat to rename them, even if you try "replacing" the files, it will automatically have to keep the name. Monkeypolice188-Signature-2.png &bull; Monkeypolice188-Signature-4.png &bull;  Monkeypolice188-Signature-3.png 18:11, October 27, 2015 (UTC)

Benny's
Sorry to disturb you, but I have a question regarding the Benny's Original Motor Works page.

I have made a detailed list of all modding options for all 6 cars, but I don't know how to incorporate that information into the article or even if that kind of detailed information is wanted at all. What do you think about changing the section 'modifications' into a table, to keep a better overview?


 * So you want to incorporate them onto the Vehicle articles themselves, or adjust your incorporation on the Benny's article? Monkeypolice188-Signature-2.png &bull; Monkeypolice188-Signature-4.png &bull;  Monkeypolice188-Signature-3.png 19:42, October 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * At first i think its just the Benny's... article, then I could edit the cars articles.


 * I've already started to create a table in the Benny's... article, but my html is very bad. So I think it has to be edited afterwards. Doppelblind (talk) 20:08, October 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Well, if your "detail" is simply a list + a short description, I'll help in making a table for you :) Monkeypolice188-Signature-2.png &bull; Monkeypolice188-Signature-4.png &bull;  Monkeypolice188-Signature-3.png 20:11, October 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * The detail at this point ain't much more than the names given to the availlable modifications.


 * Describing the detail of ervery modification imho would be too much for the page, although i could do that, too. But that will take one more day for research.Doppelblind (talk) 20:28, October 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Agreed. If you could do this, could you take a look at the "Modifications" section on the Adder page, and replicate that (copy source), and add it to the 6 cars for the lowrider modifications, under the heading I fitted onto the 6 pages? You'll need to gather prices and names, but they won't require descriptions. If you could do that, that'd be great, as I can't check all the prices at the mo. Thanks! :) Monkeypolice188-Signature-2.png &bull; Monkeypolice188-Signature-4.png &bull;  Monkeypolice188-Signature-3.png 20:31, October 27, 2015 (UTC)

prices is a prob for me, too. I haven't tried the actual mod garage cause i only play storymode. I've only applied all the modifications by using simple native trainer. I think i can fully use the mod garage by loading online content into story mode by trainer, but I havent tried that so far.

table is coming along, fine, just need to figure out if i can fill in a row, that has only one column with full width of the table and continue the next row with 6 columns, but i think i'll find out.Doppelblind (talk) 20:59, October 27, 2015 (UTC)

I'm not complaining, but due to the changes you made, I couldn't save the edit I've worked on for nearly four hours, and now its completely gone, i cant restore it. :( Doppelblind (talk) 22:27, October 27, 2015 (UTC)


 * Shit! I'm so sorry! This is why I always copy my changes before I publish the edit, in case it becomes conflicted.  Apologies :( Monkeypolice188-Signature-2.png &bull;  Monkeypolice188-Signature-4.png &bull;  Monkeypolice188-Signature-3.png 22:31, October 27, 2015 (UTC)

No problem, i'm new to this whole editing thing and forgot to make a backcopy, so it's technically my fault.

I would have made the table different to the one you created. I think the columns should be the cars and the rows the modification categories with the modding options listed in the fields of the table. But this way the table becomes larger than a few screens.

RE: Talk page
Hi Monk. I created a new archive page (Archive 3) which I can see in the bar at the top of my page. I've just clicked on it and all the archived stuff is there.

 * That happened to me on Sunday as well. My page went blank when I tried to view it (though it showed up in edit mode) so I pressed backspace once at the foot of the page and it all came back.
