Hi GK! A while ago I started on an idea that Gboyers came up with, to write a perfect mission article and use it as a guide for writing mission articles all over the wiki. Both GB and A-Dust gave me their input and now that I've remembered about it, and it's getting closer to perfect, I would like to get some input from you as well (I'm also going to ask Eganio, but with him being even more inactive than you, I don't know if I will get any input from him real soon). Here is a [[User:Biggest gta fan ever/Perfect Mission|link]]. Thanks!

I'm sorry to hear your intentions GK. Yes the community has perhaps got a little thin, but all the "easy" content from GTA IV is up, and now theres a long hard slog ahead to get all the rest of the GTA IV content up. We've brought 3 new staff on board this week, since I've been pretty busy with exams and work. I have no idea where Ed has gone, but we could really use you being here now. Obviously it's your decision, but I'm asking you to stick around. Let me know - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 18:27, 15 January 2009 (UTC)

Hi, I didn't answer your question real great before on IRC, but now I've been thinking about it. It's not the wiki that's changed, it's the community.

Hi Carlee. On top of your recent promotion, I feel I have to more specifically address your willingness to help other users. I'm delighted to present to you the [[Grand Theft Wiki:Medals|Red Cross]] medal, for persistent and unending help to other users and Staff. It is an absolutely pleasure to have you here.

Hi GK. 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. I know you're not completely active at the moment, but could you have a go at [[Special:WantedFiles]] (fixing/removing broken links) and [[Special:UnusedFiles]] (deleting bad ones, putting good ones into pages). I've given you two smaller tasks rather than one larger one, so if you could do those that would be great. Bear in mind that images have moved to the "File" namespace for some reason. Just ask if you have any questions, or read the [[Project:Cleanup Projects|project page]]. Thanks - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 20:18, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
Hi, Carlee. I'd like to ask you to stop by the [[Talk:Karen|discussion]] we've been having ragarding the spolier issue with the [[Karen]] and [[Michelle Stone]] articles, and add your opinion. So far, the discussion is between [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]], [[User:Biggest gta fan ever|Biggest gta fan ever]], and me. I think a fresh perspective from another admin would help, since Gboyers and I seem to be of opposing opinions, and Biggest gta fan ever seems torn between the two perspectives. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] was on there prior, but hasn't been back in a while...I'm going to ask him to stop by and add his two cents' worth as well. Thanks in advance! :-) '''[[User:Eganio|Eganio]]<sup>''[[User talk:Eganio|Talk]]''</sup>''' 09:02, 20 July 2008 (UTC)

:By the way, might I ask a favor? Try to get into the habit of providing an edit summary each time you edit a page. It makes it a lot easier to scan recent changes or the page's history and tell what's been done. It would be especially helpful when adding a "speedy deletion" tag, so that we know why you think it's a candidate for speedy deletion as opposed to plain ol' deletion. --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 03:43, 28 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey there, GK. I have a few questions regarding polls, and was hoping you might know the answers:
 
#What do points for poll votes grant you (if anything)?
 
#How do we determine when and if to add new polls? I just created one and threw it up on the main page, but is there some ''standard'' we use?

As you already know, i am new to wiki, so i just had a question
:At the moment, there's not really a set standard for when/if we add polls (GB, feel free to chime in if I'm wrong). I was thinking that they should be posted for a matter of weeks, somewhere between 2 and 4 weeks is what was going through my mind.
 
:As far as "points for poll votes", I really don't see a need for them. Let's just say they're for self-reassurance. ;) --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 01:38, 29 July 2008 (UTC)

:[[Grand Theft Wiki:Featured content|This page]] should answer some of your questions. As for how long they remain featured, that's just done on an as-they-come basis.
