Welcome
Hi, welcome to Red Dead Redemption Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the Cannon page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- TeslaRaptor (Talk) 21:09, 8 April 2010

Greetings
Hey! Thanks for dropping me a message. There's definitely some work to be done. You've done some great work on CODWikia, no doubt. we're still just trying to establish the format of articles, and establish pages so that when the hype for the game ramps up, we'll be able to maintain easy access to reliable info. The achievements page and the hunting page has a lot of opportunity for article creation right now, there is definitely stuff that can be pulled from trailers if you want to generate some content. I look forward to seeing your work! Cheers -- Tiktaalik 22:00, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Ah, nog een Nederlander, mooi. Zoveel ervaring is mooi, ik kan trouwens nog wel een admin gebruiken als je daar zin in hebt, heb er op het moment 3, waarvan er 2 gloednieuw zijn (deze week nog aangesteld), Tiktaalik en Raadec zijn de twee nieuwe. Die laatste moet ik nog even bekijken, zal na een week of 2 wel inactief raken, maarja, beter dan niets. Het beste spreek je gewoon mij of Tiktaalik aan dus.

Voor de rest kan je misschien wel wat helpen om uit te zoeken wat er nog qua maintenance gedaan moet worden, en natuurlijk gewoon editen.

Solid work today! Exactly the kind of stuff we need done around here. -- Tiktaalik 16:12, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome mssg
Yup looks very nice, to be honestly I couldn't find the page for it, made little tweak so it says "We're" instead of "I'm", but I really like it.

TeslaRaptor | User | Talk | 10:57, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

Apparently it doesn't work, take a look at new member user pages. Can't think of a reason why it doesn't change, since it's the proper template.

TeslaRaptor | User | Talk | 16:49, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

again, sorry.
I am so use to being logged in by default that when the system logs me out on its own, I don't notice :)

As you might have read, I've been doing my homework (thus my absence for the past few days). But now I'm back and ready to give this Wikia what for.

Raadec 21:45, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Admin Pic and Policy
I've read the Policy now, and even made a point about one of them, hope it helps.

And. Yeh, I do like that picture, very mean looking :) The main character kinda reminds me a Tommy Vercetti but with a hat.

Raadec 22:11, April 12, 2010 (UTC)

Bad Guy
Heya chief. I really appreciate all the housekeeping and policy/template work you've been doing. Major imporvements for this wikia. Thanks! Also, you've been correcting a lot my spelling mistakes in-article; thanks for that too, makes me look slightly less bumbling. Right on -- Tiktaalik 18:44, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Site skin
You don't see the black and red style? I think that's pretty okay, but if you can think of a better style, we can work on it ;) Policies look very nice, thanks for doing that. I haven't been doing too much recently, but it'll come, trust me.

TeslaRaptor | User | Talk | 19:05, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Admin Raadec
Why've I lost my Admin picture? Am I not becoming an Admin now? The only reason I didn't make those pages on Tuesday was I've been on London for the past 2 days getting a job.

Raadec 19:35, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

RE:
I've never been officially an admin as of yet, I thought that would come once I proved my self.

But my awesome admin picture has been taken off my User page. Just woundered why :)

Raadec 20:45, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

Welcome Message: Signature of admin
Is it possible to remove the auto-sig from the last admin online, when a new editor has been welcomed? For example, Fireman345 made an article and was welcomed with the message you created, but it is auto-signed by the last admin online, so for example, you logged in most recently and the message has your name under it.

So, basically, is it possible to remove that, and put "-The RDR Wikia Staff" underneath it, with a link in it to a page that shows the current admins? That would at least make it easier for new members to find out who the admins are, instead of looking for the user list in special pages.

I want to make the welcome message perfect, just like you. So we'll be done with that.

TeslaRaptor | User | Talk | 18:43, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

I think it looks better, easier for new members to find the admins, and it looks like we have a solid base (which was basically my primary goal until now). I'd say we try this out for a while, looks more professional too in my opinion

Shit I totally forgot... The banner, well, find that font for me and I'll send you 4 russian women.

Ahah, I just made one myself, I just put the RDR (oh god, same abbreviations...) logo next to it and put a red filter over it so it doesn't look different. Check it out, it's still loading for me though.

Took the wrong one, it's good now

Hmm, that's probably because of my resolution, I can easily read it. Well, I'll change it to yours and see if it works out good :)

I agree, good you mentioned the resolution thing. I'm running on 1600x900 now, so that's the problem. I just widened the word "Wiki" a bit so it really looks like it's the same font. I could also try to make those little black chips in it, like the "Red Dead" words have, but that'll wait.

TeslaRaptor | User | Talk | 11:37, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Yo
Hey, just like to let you know that I am sorry for my continued absence.

I promised to do some work Tuesday last week and I've yet to do anything. But I promise I will do shit-loads next week.

Next week I have nothing going on since its still a week of the easter hols and I'm not going to London or anything like that, a whole week of didly squat. So I will do some work on this Wikia even if it kills me :)

Raadec 21:15, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Cant Edit
Dear admin,

When im logged in on my account the text box( where im writing now) is grayed out and for some reason i can't edit. I also see that alot of new contribs are done by anonymous contribs. Is this a bug or some Problem with the account server?.

Great Minds Listen Alike?
Hey TNT LotLP,

J.M. Gatling here......turns out we have have simular, if not the same, taste in music....brings a whole new mean to the phrase 'great minds think alike', doesn't it?. Oh and btw welcome to the wikia!J.M. Gatling 17:59, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

message.
I thought you guys needed an extra admin, Hence why i applied. This wikia will however become enormous when the game comes out, It is because we are still unknown at this point.

When you check the internet there isnt such an in-depth database anywere except as us, so eventualy this wiki will become well known.

Heya chief. Got a message a couple hours ago from Gboyers, the founder of the Grand Theft Wiki. He shared some concerns with me about the organization after we had incorporated the Red Dead Revolver wiki. It has been nagging on my mind as well. He has offered up a few suggestions, on my talk page, that are well worth consideration. Give it a read and let me know what you think. You have a clear penchant for organization on the wiki so I figured you'd likely be the best candidate to spearhead and establish a convention. I'd be more than happy to go around to the numerous articles and make any necessary changes to content and article categorization. Let me know what you're thinking on the subject is. Cheers -- Tiktaalik 11:43, April 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah I thought you used the single word redemption as well... Ah doesn't matter. I did it because it's shorter and people know what it means.


 * Doesn't removing them conflict with the granularity policy? If not, go ahead, should be clear. Animals achievements are fine though.


 * Sure, but have you seen the Fallout wikia? Every page is spammed with details, and it's great for information. We'll see, I'd say let is hold on for a bit and we ::::can discuss that part later. Unless you really feel like acting like a bot, ofcourse ;)


 * Haha, just what I expected. Like separating semi-auto's and bolt actions, and asking an old man to explain which is which.
 * I'd say we wait for the gun nuts to show up, and keep it as rifles and handguns.


 * Took forever -_-  Well do what you think is best.

 TeslaRaptor  | User | Talk | 14:05, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks TNT LotLP for the 'warm' welcome. And really, you made that Banner? i'm impressed. I couldn't do that if my life depended on it, well i could come up with the creative design for it....but still, i'm more of the sort of person who sits there and has long rambling conversations instead.J.M. Gatling 20:34, April 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'll tag onto the 'Thanks' theme and say thanks too, I'll do my best not to accidentally ban everyone (*cough*). Since you're the policy sheriff here, could you make a decision on naming articles and categories? I just noticed I was following Grand Theft Wiki rules and using title case (Like This and Redemption Weapons) but some of this wiki is using Wikipedia-style sentence case (Like this and Naming policy). The Naming policy doesn't specify which is preferred. Which one would this wiki like to use, and then we can fix the ones that are different. Thanks again - Gboyers talk 22:33, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

We dont speak leet.
you dont have to act so tough, it wasnt meant as leet or anything since i despise people speaking leet, however as admin you have to atleast posses some level of maturity and what you wrote in your edit contradicts that.

WugHD, at work now cant log-on.

Hey
I didn't know you were an admin here. Cpl. Dunn 01:48, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Nice. Cpl. Dunn 01:48, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Protecting Red Dead Wiki Namespace
Hey. On GTW, no regular user can edit the project namespace - even if we don't protect the pages. Is this same on here? If so, there's no need to specifically protect them. If not, would you want Wikia to set that up? Gboyers talk 19:25, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Hey man, what was "unacceptable" about my behavior?

Ur a vandal
Heh nice one. Also, how do you get the facepalm picture in the block template?  TeslaRaptor  | User | Talk | 19:33, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Ofcourse, sneaky bastard. Also: RDN doesn't load D:  TeslaRaptor  | User | Talk | 19:42, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

RDN
RDN = RedDead.Net. Ausir(talk) 20:19, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Guns x3
Well I'd personally wait until the game is released so we can find out how all weapons are classified, I'm not that good with ancient guns :P  TeslaRaptor  | User | Talk | 10:38, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Spoilers
Hey TNT. We're getting a lot of storyline material content updates recently, and we so far don't have any kind of template or convention for spoiler warnings. You seem to be all over the template stuff, wanna see what you can do? Cheers -- Tiktaalik 14:53, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

Great work, thanks! -- Tiktaalik 19:21, April 30, 2010 (UTC)

Spoiler tags
Nice one mate, Ill be checking every article for spoilers and put the correct spoiler alerts in.

+1

luger
Well every shot with a would-be luger has been confirmed to be Borchardt. I'm saving the content for the page and remove it.  TeslaRaptor  | User | Talk | 12:07, May 2, 2010 (UTC)

hey TnT
I see you editted the trivia section on honor, I know this isnt the NWN wikia or what ever you meant. But i thought it would be a good thing to tell the readers where a system like this first appeared. and thus one of the definitions of a trivia section.

Anyway if you feel like it shouldnt be there its your wiki afterall.

WugHD2.0 18:29, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

Rules
Alright, thanks for clearing that up. Thought i had a total freedom of 'text' :P (aslong it is apropriate ofcourse)

question about war horse
i pre ordered my Red dead redemption and im going to get the warhorse. lets say if my war horse dies will i get it back?

Who the.......
Lordofthelargepants? Who on earth are you, why are you talking to me? Lol, just joking, thanks mmaann. Cpt. Carebear 12:25, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Regulations
TnT what are the restrictions with magazine scans? Can we post them or are they copyrighted, and thus unable to post on the wikia.

On a side note RDR got a 9.75 from Game informer if im correct!

WugHD2.0 13:46, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Countdown
Unless Im mistaken the countdown on the front page is incorrect, instead of reading 8 more days it should read 9 more days. today is the 9th, it comes out the 18th. just trying to help.

EDIT: Is there any time zone in the US that would make it only 8 days tho?

Scans
Alright thats clear, Anyway ever thought asking andy if we can get our own hosted forum spot on RDN? i mean we could moderate it ourselves and password protect. A good area to talk about the wikia? For a Example go here..Forum is down atm ill post the link later.

I can ask andy if all admins and wikia helpers agree on this.

WugHD2.0 16:21, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Forum
Well TnT i hope you agree with me that our current forum is really awesome :P.. No but really it gives us a perfect private wikia enviroment moderated by one of the admins ( or all three) on RDN. Our current forums is just not fine tuned for discussions and Rdn just feels so much more comfortable for issues like that.

And maybe handy in the future if we get a 'fan-base' when the game is released so people visit our hosted space and give us suggestions or discuss things in a organized, clean enviroment.

Our current forums well you could keep them around, but as seeing most of the admins spent almost any on-line time on RDN i dont think it would be much of an issue, maybe even a candidate for removal.

I mean i could never make a forum as i aint techy, so i respect our current forum, but its just sub-par for something that is gonna be quite big in on the 18th/21th :P

WugHD2.0 17:53, May 9, 2010 (UTC)

Vandals
Will do from now on, chief. Did not occur to me that it helps monitor them. Cheers -- Tiktaalik 16:10, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Rollback
Thanks alot TnT >.0, I will use my powers for good..haha, no really. Anyway ive started a bit of a marketting campaign and i have already attracted some new edittors ive seen. by the way Someone is making Red Dead Wikia Signatures for advertisement purposes for us at the moment. ill show them to you when they are done.

WugHD2.0 17:23, May 10, 2010 (UTC) 17:22, May 10, 2010 (UTC)

Changes I make...
Sorry about messing the link on the Browning Auto-5 weapon under Bonnie Mc-Farlane's "profile" page... I am not used to fixing grammatical errors on links (or hyperlinks, whichever) and didn't notice I messed that up... Next time I'll send you (or another admin) a message first, regarding what needs to be changed (if it's a link). Otherwise, I think I can manage the rest of the grammar changes I make (mostly involve the paragraphs, so it's only text, not links or anything)... Thanks for the heads up, and keep up the good work! :D

Vandal
TNT i had to rollback the pages about bulls, and undo a multiplayer article edit since Cornbread thinks its funny to insert gibberish and insert San andreas pics.

WugHD2.0 08:58, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Info box
Much "cleaner" and vissualy improved. A definite improvement on the old one +`1

Sorry that i wasn't on thatmuch today i work As security guard over 15 hours on some days.

WugHD2.0 22:04, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Wikia Signatures
One of the first line of signatures created by a graphical RDR fan and my ideas :P, anyways tell me how you think it turned out People can use them to advertise the wiki, or just download them if they like our wikia. Its found on my User page WugHD2.0 22:21, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

The only threat
To this wikia doesn't even seem to be vandals but people Editting weapon pages and Put manuals and guides in them why a Single action revolver is more acurate than some other real life revolver. Or a wall of text filled with historical facts.

WugHD2.0 13:04, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

Clan pages
I have a question regarding the issue of clan pages. Please see User blog:Ausir/Clan pages and tell me what you think! Ausir(talk) 13:33, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Achievement boosting and Forum
Hey there tnt, it might seem as if Black artist is boosting but he is just new and he uses (too)much links but he doesnt mean it like achievement boosting. I explained him multiple times in the edit notes that too much linking is bad etc.

But it might be handy if you explain it too him too soo he knows your serious.

Cheeeers WugHD2.0 12:45, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

on a side not we got our own Private space on RDN just wanted to say >.o WugHD2.0 14:05, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

The only reason I'm doing so much editing is that I simply go to the Dead End pages and work my way down the list. When I think of a wikia, I think of a spider web, in that every page should link to another, so their are no 1) "dead end" pages, or 2) pages that are lacking obvious links, like each page about a weapon in RDR not linking to the page "Weapons in Redemption." As you know, this wikia is gonna get a lot of user once RDR hits, and making this wikia streamlined and user-friendly is my major priority. I hope I haven't piss you or Wug off in any way ;).

Also, I'm not achievement boosting. I only realized yesterday that there was even a badge thingy, when I got one.--User:Black ArtistTalk page 16:43, May 15, 2010 (UTC)

posse section
Need help asap had to revert 20+ edits already, he is spam deleting content!

WugHD2.0 01:22, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

News
Hey, any chance you could remove this blog post entirely? I cant seem to find out how outside of asking you. I didnt mean to start a flame war. I was just curious about why there would be exclusive content. if you don't mind could you help me out?

Thanks. Dondingo4 05:51, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Thank you. That was just a load of trouble no one really needs. Dondingo4 21:42, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

profanity
Hey there TnT,

been doing a lot of clean-up work today and helping our users with problems, but there is one thing i couldn't answer or find anything.

What about profanity in Posse pages? ive come across several pages with words like Shit etc. in the pages. Edit those out or let them stay unless its racist or hurtfull?

Example

Sincerely WugHD2.0 16:10, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

re: talk page
... Can i ask why?
 * Rule reading ain't my thing, this sounds bad, but i don't care to much.

sorry for not signing either not been on a wiki in ages 16:33, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Re: example page
Haha how so now its getting personal, eh?

Anyway it looks like a troll posse to me, full of 12 year old white Hip-Hoppahs.

Edit: Vandal, vandalised the lasso page, after reverting he now did it a second time.

WugHD2.0 16:25, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Character infoboxes
There seems to be a problem with those not displaying correctly.

Example

Sincerely WugHD2.0 17:12, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Re: infobox
Alright, figured it was Probably meaned that way. you don't seem to make mistake This guy is some sort of machine.

But it wasn't me putting up those infoboxes, Some random edittors did and they thought it was a bug.

meh ill see if i can correct those pages, maybe toy around in the sandbox abit.

thanks WugHD2.0 20:51, May 16, 2010 (UTC)

Im getting reviewed
hey there TnT,

i applied to become an Admin Here, Wish me luck >.o
