I'll make sure in future but it is usually closed when there are overwhelming votes and it just seems like there won't be enough votes to change it around. Thanks for the advice though I appreciate tips on doing the job better given how long I've been doing it for. [[User:Leon Davis|Leo68]] ([[User talk:Leon Davis|talk]]) 03:46, April 25, 2015 (UTC)
Hey, I've made an [[GTA_Wiki:Requests_for_Promotion#Smurfynz_-_Patroller|RFP]], can you please swing by and vote. [[User:Smurfynz|smurfy]] <sup><small><small>([[User_talk:Smurfynz|coms]])</small></small></sup> 23:51, January 4, 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for undoing your edit earlier. I had read your comments and I know your reason behind your earlier edits. Initially, you did not mention the reason for not restricting the vote to staffs only, so I undo your edits, even when you're a former staff. Once again, I'm really sorry. Although the vote is now not staff-restricted, I still will not vote as I don't know much about Dan.

I had to agree with everything you said in your profile, I love the GTA series, but I think, honestly, users should have a higher knowledge about the series before thinking about being a staff member, you can see, many users left because they simply love GTA SA and they hate GTA V, if you ask them how many GTA games they have played, they'll only say GTA SA and GTA V (and probaly GTA IV too), I for an example, have played all the GTA games except GTA London and GTA Advance, there are some users like me in the wiki, such as 558050 and WildBrick142, they have played all games, IMO to be a staff member, the users should play at least five GTA games, to be exact: Vice City, San Andreas, IV, Ballad of Gay Tony and GTA V.

::Yeah, I don't really like how people call themselves "GTA experts" if they have only played 1 or 2 games.

==People Leaving==
 
I was talking exactly about this with AndreEagle17 a few days ago (we talk in portuguese, so I guess none of you understood), people losing interest in the wikia or GTA. I also believe that is something perfectly normal, checking the profile of some of the ex-members of the staff I noticed how many people were demoted because of inactive, so all happening is not something new for the GTA wikia.
 
 
:I don't know if theres any way to avoid promoting people that will lose interest in GTA after a while, I even sugested to AndreEagle17 to raise from 2 to 6 months the amound of time that someone needs to be on the wikia to become a patroller. Thats because, if someone joins the wikia after buying GTA V and he is only playing the game because of the hype and not because he is a true fan of the series, he probably will have already lost interest in the game after 6 months if not less, so we don't run the risk of promoting someone that will leave the wikia after just a couple of months, like the recent case of RainingPain. It's not 100% secure of course, but I guess it could help. --[[User:558050|558050]] ([[User talk:558050|talk]]) 23:41, January 19, 2015 (UTC)

:Not really, I don't edit enough. I'd come back as a bureaucrat with the understanding that I'd step down once we had a third person ready to promote because staffing and running a wiki is what I'm good at, but I don't really edit content hardly ever and that means I don't have any business being a patroller or admin. <b>[[User:McJeff|Jeff]]</b> ([[User_talk:McJeff|talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/McJeff|stalk]]) 20:20, January 23, 2015 (UTC)
 
 
::"I'd come back as a bureaucrat" That's great to hear. I had been reading and trying to gauge whether it would be worth asking you to "step into the breach" temporarily but thought you felt bound by the "no take-backs" agreement you had with the others.

==Meatpuppetry==
 
Jeff, could you explain why Boomer's vote was removed and what is "meatpuppetry"? ex: [http://gta.wikia.com/GTA_Wiki:Requests_for_Promotion?diff=742505&oldid=742494 This] [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ([[User talk:AndreEagle17|<span style="color:black">talk</span>]]) 19:45, January 24, 2015 (UTC)
 
 
:Per our policy [[GTA_Wiki:Meatpuppetry]], it is against the rules for editors to edit on this wiki soley to support or advance the agenda of another editor. Boomer hasn't made any edits to GTA Wiki since he left in May 2014 that didn't directly involve trying to help Sasquatch101 in some way or other. <b>[[User:McJeff|Jeff]]</b> ([[User_talk:McJeff|talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/McJeff|stalk]]) 19:50, January 24, 2015 (UTC)

==RfP==
 
I have no clue what makes you think that you can take my vote down and say I'm prohibited from voting. Sorry pal, but I've been contributing to this wiki for around 3 years, and I'll be dammed that I won't have a say in this wiki's future. I know you hate it when you don't get your way, but that doesn't mean you can twist the rules in your own favor.

==About Sasquatch101==
 
I told this already in the [[GTA Wiki:Requests for Promotion|RfP]] page, but I will say to you again. Doesn't all this '''Yes (with conditions)''' already show that we are not ready to accept Sasquatch as part of the staff yet? You can't vote '''Yes''' for someone and still need to remind him of basic things to do like, be active and polite. If all this people who voted '''Yes''' doesn't trust the guy to do this little things, how he can be a fully patroler then? For me, this entire voting should be already finished. Do you honestly trust Sasquatch to handle this position? Do you believe that if another major vandal attack like the one before happens again, he will not do all that clusterfuck again? Because the only people that I believe would answer Yes to both of this questions, are Sasquatch puppets, and I know what you already think about then.

:For the record, I'm not saying that the guy can never become a patroller ever again. If he behaves like an active and polite regular user here for some time, I'm wiling to vote Yes for him. But the fact that he vanished for so many time, and when he finally appears again, is to apply himself to be an admin, and then apply to be a patroller like if nothing had happened, only bothers me even more.

::I don't agree that the Yes WIth Conditions thing is a good idea - if anything I think it's unfair to the person with the job to have a stigma of having it hanging over their head like that. In my opinion either we trust someone enough to promote them, or we don't. Like I said, my big worry is that Sasquatch can't handle his temper when he's pressed enough. He'll be a model editor for a year straight and then flip out unexpectedly. <b>[[User:McJeff|Jeff]]</b> ([[User_talk:McJeff|talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/McJeff|stalk]]) 21:03, January 24, 2015 (UTC)
 
 
:::Exactly, this stigma is bad for the person being promoted and the person who voted.

===He's Active?===
 
I disagree. Apart from the RfP and community noticeboard, the only activity since early November has been to reinstate links to the Myths wiki over the last cuple of days which I would argue serve the Myths wiki more than they served this wiki. The September/November contributions wouild be less than what the demoted (inactive) guys had been doing in the last 4 months.

:I've thought this over for a few hours and I think we should leave Myth hunter's vote up. If we're fanatical about meatpuppetry, there's going to be an Incident any time two guys who generally agree on things take the same side on an issue. I'd rather not bring it into consideration unless the editor in question is behaving really disruptively. That's the difference between Boomer/Sasquatch and any other set of editors who are friends. Myth hunter may be a friend and supporter of Sasquatch but he doesn't go around insulting the entire community for not worshipping him. I didn't realize that the only thing Myth hunter was doing was adding links to Myths Wiki though - that does change how I feel about him being here and voting on things a bit. Just not enough that I want to go around telling him he can't vote - telling people they can't vote should be a last-ditch thing to prevent disruption. <b>[[User:McJeff|Jeff]]</b> ([[User_talk:McJeff|talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/McJeff|stalk]]) 04:17, January 25, 2015 (UTC)
 
:::No, I was talking about Sasquatch's activity or lack thereof. He's the one that hasn't been contributing at all in terms of eligibility for promotion. MythHunter has been a little more consistently adding a couple of relevant edits a month, similar to the rate we were declaring the staff inactive, but not rated as completely inactive for a user by any means.

:You didn't get demoted from patroller, you just got moved to inactive.

== Reply ==
 
The promotion went as expected and that's fine. The whole situation that happened with Boomer though seems to be a little harsh. From what I read Boomer said no personal insults towards Messi and was just having an argument. I mean debate is healthy and good for anything (i.e. wikis, democracies, ect.) and I saw no indication that Boomer crossed a line and became hostile. I think Boomer just felt that he was being excluded from voting based on your and Messis' view that he is a meatpuppet. I can say that he speaks with a lot of passion and does generally agree with me as we have been editing together for over a couple years. He was very loyal to me during the whole Myths wiki fiasco that went down during the Gunshow2 incident. You know how crazy that was and I very much appreciate your help on that. Me and Boomer have a lot of history, we both love myths and I can say that he is a loyal, trustworthy editor and would be a great person to have here on the GTA Wiki.

Hey Jeff, I was watching a discussion right now and it was a case similar to mines (which happened some time ago), the thing is:
 
 
My friend [[User:Monkeypolice188|Monkeypolice188]] added pictures to his personal page and his sandbox and he still received a warning for image policy, but [[User:RainingPain17|RainingPain17]] gave him an advice, which was to talk to you about this, as I had the same problem, I should ask, do we really need to add licenses to our personal pages/sandboxes?

:Image policy gets weird sometimes. If it's a picture for personal use, you can always just upload it and ask a b'crat or another knowledgeable editor to add an appropriate license afterwards.

Hello McJeff.

Thanks for that, I was wary of being accused of picking on the guy, so I thought I'd give him one opportunity to fix it himself.  [[User:Smurfynz|smurfy]] <sup><small><small>([[User_talk:Smurfynz|coms]])</small></small></sup> 23:52, February 12, 2015 (UTC)
 
:You weren't picking on him Smurf, you were following the policy. His edits were borderline vandalism and he put a "spoiler" tag on his personal page, so it was right that they were being undone/changed. [[User:SJWalker|SJWalker]] ([[User talk:SJWalker|talk]]) 00:10, February 13, 2015 (UTC)
 
 
==GTA London 1961 characters page==
 
Hello there McJeff. I've recently done a lot of work on the GTA London 1961 character page, since it was just a copy of the article for characters in GTA London 1969, which is incorrect as they feature mostly different (minor) characters. I see that you have undone my edits, may I respectfully ask why this has been done? [[User:Darth crucifious|Darth crucifious]] ([[User talk:Darth crucifious|talk]]) 12:40, February 14, 2015 (UTC)
 
 
==Your opinion==
 
http://gta.wikia.com/Faggio?action=history
 
 
There is an ongoing edit war over the number of gears of the article. One [[User:WildBrick142|user]] says that it has three gears according to the game files. [[User:AndreEagle17|Two]] [[User:Monkeypolice188|others]] disagree with it due to the lack of gear changing sound in the game itself.
 
 
Since it seems the issue is not about to be resolved yet, I thought it would be better to have your opinion about it. {{Signatures/RainingPain17}} 21:08, February 20, 2015 (UTC)

==Comments==
 
 
Dear McJeff, I really like this wiki as I use it a lot to inform myself about the GTA game that I'm about to play. But, can this wikia have comments instead of talk pages? Just a thought. {{unsigned|Angryvideogamebird}}
 
 
:Sorry, but this wiki voted to keep talk pages. <b>[[User:McJeff|Jeff]]</b> ([[User_talk:McJeff|talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/McJeff|stalk]]) 16:58, February 22, 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Help ==
 
Hey Jeff. I was just on the GTA Myths Wiki and am shocked at what I saw. remember that user what was rigging votes and causing all those problems, well he is back with multiple accounts and is vandalizing the wiki regularly. He is now uploading new (racist) images that are deleting the ones with the same name. Is there any further protection I can add to the wiki to prevent these attacks? In the mean time I'll just keep a watch out.

==Gunshow2 detected==
 
[[User:GodBlessTheNSDAP|GodBlessTheNSDAP]]. Look at his profile. For me it's a sockpuppet of Gunshow2.

Thanks for the advice. I'll get right on those things. Hopefully this won't be a problem much longer. --[[User:Sasquatch101|Sasquatch101]] ([[User talk:Sasquatch101|talk]]) 05:00, February 24, 2015 (UTC)
 
 
==Found the Source==
 
Hey Jeff, long time no speak. Anyway, I believe I have found what someone sent me to be the source of these racist vandals. [http://8ch.net/cow/res/61527.html Check it out] and tell me what you think.
 
 
==Videos==
 
I need your opinion about them [[Forum:What about videos & video policy?|here]].

==Leaked Info==
 
Keep an eye out. This [[User:ApexReclaimer01|user]] posted a leaked image of the new [[Kuruma]] set to be featured in the [[Heists Update]]. He then set up a [[User:Binhvip2456|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. [[User:Leon Davis|Leo68]] ([[User talk:Leon Davis|talk]]) 07:24, March 1, 2015 (UTC)
 
 
==Edits Vandal==
 
 
Just to let you know, a [[User:DomWoody|user]] practically destroyed your userpage, don't worry, he's blocked! [[File:MONKEYPOLICE188.png|100px|link=User:Monkeypolice188]] ([[User talk:Monkeypolice188|talk]]) | ([[Special:Contributions/Monkeypolice188|stalk]]) 19:57, March 2, 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. [[GTA Wiki:Media Policy|Check it out]]! [[User:Leon Davis|Leo68]] ([[User talk:Leon Davis|talk]]) 02:44, March 6, 2015 (UTC)
 
 
 
== Major Attack ==
 
Hey Jeff I just singed on and saw that the Myths wiki was once again heavily attacked by Gunshow. However this time he has used some embedded code which freezes the page and makes it virtually unable to remove. I've contacted one of Wikia's vandalism staff and am waiting to see what they will do. --[[User:Sasquatch101|Sasquatch101]] ([[User talk:Sasquatch101|talk]]) 07:55, March 7, 2015 (UTC)
 
 
:I emailed you last time and you never answered. Everything in that email is still relevant and valid and can be applied to stopping the vandalism, but I'm not putting hours into protecting GTA Myths Wiki when the staff there won't. <b>[[User:McJeff|Jeff]]</b> ([[User_talk:McJeff|talk]]·[[Special:Contributions/McJeff|stalk]]) 02:27, March 8, 2015 (UTC)
 
 
There's no use, Gunshow the vandal keeps changing his IP so Wikia said there is no way to outright block him. He is constantly creating offensive accounts and now uses some code he adds to pages that crashes them and makes it impossible for local staff to remove. Wikia is keeping a close eye on the situation and basically that's all the staff at the Myths wiki can do. This is just really advanced vandalism he is using but it will all inevitably get reverted by Wikia. So I'm not going to loose sleep over it. --[[User:Sasquatch101|Sasquatch101]] ([[User talk:Sasquatch101|talk]]) 04:07, March 8, 2015 (UTC)

Revision as of 15:18, 20 June 2015

If you leave a message on my talk page, I will respond here. If I leave you a message on your talk page, please respond there. I just like to keep conversations in one place so I don't have to switch pages to follow them.
This talk page is a swearing fucking permitted zone. Censorship asterisks are not permitted (because they're incredibly stupid). Either refrain from swearing completely, or belt that shit out loud and proud.

RE:

I'll make sure in future but it is usually closed when there are overwhelming votes and it just seems like there won't be enough votes to change it around. Thanks for the advice though I appreciate tips on doing the job better given how long I've been doing it for. Leo68 (talk) 03:46, April 25, 2015 (UTC)

Sorry for undoing your edit earlier. I had read your comments and I know your reason behind your earlier edits. Initially, you did not mention the reason for not restricting the vote to staffs only, so I undo your edits, even when you're a former staff. Once again, I'm really sorry. Although the vote is now not staff-restricted, I still will not vote as I don't know much about Dan. MC (MyComputer) 15:17, June 20, 2015 (UTC)
