An Admin In Need
Hey Hobbes, If you're not busy, I could use some formatting help. I need to know how to create a new infobox template for an item in the game, with about 5 rows. It's all in source and I'm used to visual. Thanks, The Milkman 05:10, September 27, 2011 (UTC)

Blog issues?
Not entirely sure what I did wrong, if anything. Just wrote a blog post and it's not on my page under the "Blog" tab. It is in my "Contributions" section, however. Do blog posts go through some type of review before they are displayed, or did I just muck something up? :D

Joearomo
Hey Hobbes,

Acouple months ago I had some trouble with some members of this wiki. It would appear that they didn't get the message about respecting everyone's clan page. Throughout today they have been making edits to my clan's page, and I warned them to stop or else I would report them. I managed to delete their edits, but could you please put a block on user: Joearomo. Thankyou.

RE: Dragonhunter
I would like anything involving Dragonhunter brought to my attention, please.

I am keeping a personal eye on him in order to see if i can curb his annoying authoritarianism.

Thanks.

Blackwater Police Department
Hi Hobbes, I saw on the Blackwater Police Department page this trivia :


 * "Strangely for a police force in the 1910s, they seem to allow African-American members."

Arthur Shodlow isn't look like an African-American, he has a bright skin tone.

Is it a mistake or something? -- Ilan xd 05:05, October 5, 2011 (UTC)

Blog issues (2)
Dear Hobbes

I am having a problem with my blog, what is happening is I can not edit the information on the blog. The editing screen should look like the this editing screen the one I'm typing this message in but on my blog if I want to edit something its blank well it's all grey like from the space between the edit box and the tabs above, so do you know whats happened and how to fix it as I can put more information on the blog

Unicorn trivia
Say Hobbes, is that trivia part of the Unicorn is rrelevant\important? (the "bold" part):


 * "According to mythology, the Unicorn could only be captured by a virgin. However, Marston has a son (and had a daughter) and is still able to tame the Unicorn. (Although, a virgin could just mean a female virgin, and since Marston happens to be a man, he can capture the unicorn despite being a husband and father.)"

 * Ok, thanks -- Ilan xd 19:49, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Deashawnte Bro
I'm suggesting we perma-ban this cat. It seems he has serious issues with anger management and as far as helpful contributions, he's finished. The fact that he thinks he can leave messages on his talk page telling me what to do shows that he's in no way prepared to follow the rules of the wiki.

We've tried to reason with him. He's been blocked before. It's obvious he and Deashawnte Bo are the same person...

I say we end it.

 * Yeah, it helped :)


 * What about Archer? -- Ilan xd 11:36, October 11, 2011 (UTC)

Antagonists category
Why EVERY character who had a small conflict and got killed by Red or Marston is listed in the Antagonists category.

I think that only major and secondary antagonists need to be listed in the category, but not every bounty target or duelist from Red Dead Revolver. Only those characters need to be in the category:

Revolver: Griffon, Javier Diego, Daren, Mr. Kelley

Redemption: Edgar Ross, Dutch, Bill, Javier, Allende, de Santa, Archer, Espinoza, Norman Deek, ACC

Undead Nightmare: Abraham Reyes, Undead

That's it :) -- Ilan xd 11:43, October 12, 2011 (UTC)

Real world references
Hey Hobbes, I just have a small question that has been bothering me lately.

What is the policy on real world locations? I see a few things around the wiki saying things such as "West Elizabeth may be set in Colorado" and "Stillwater Creek is based off the wetlands of Florida" (I paraphrase of course)

Should this be allowed? I mean, Colorado is not a step away from Florida and they don't border Mexico. Should it just be assumed they are all totally fictional regions? Or am I out of line? Did I ask too many questions?

Yeah... Thats about it... Thanks

Banditos Page
Hey Hobbes,

A user has suggested that we remove the one picture on the Banditos page of the two guys pointing a gun at Marston, since he says they are rebels and not outlaws.

If my memory serves me, I believe that he is right and that they're actually members of Reyes' forces as opposed to the Bandito gang. But I could be wrong...

Just wanted to check with you before taking it down.

Hi
Hey Hobbes, I just wanted to say two things:


 * 1. In one of your wikis, the Blood and Ice Cream wiki, there is user called "Daniel sugden", he vandalized the GTA and the LA Noire wikis couple of weeks ago and he uses anons in order to edits, so he will not end up blocked. You better watch out this kid, he made only troubles.


 * 2. Can you semi-protect the Weapons in Redemption page, anons keep writing wrong edits like the High Power is an M1911, while in fact it is an FN 1903.

That's all for now. -- Ilan xd 14:51, November 11, 2011 (UTC)

Darth Hendrix 08:50, November 28, 2011 (UTC)

Blocked
Hey Hobbes, I was just wondering why I have recieved a block for vandalism. I don't recall vandalising anything. Could you please correct me if i'm wrong.

Thank you.


 * Well, you (as in IP 58.172.184.177) aren't blocked. However, over the last three days I have blocked two anonymous users and one registered user for vandalism.


 * The registered user made a few normal edits before blanking a section with the sentence "booty cheeks and butt lol" - therefore, banned. If that's you, then that's why you're banned. One anonymous user vandalised multiple articles with curse words and false information - therefore, banned. The final anonymous user claimed that Sasquatches "fuck alot of dudes and kill bitches on the coastline with a wooden spoon and their huge cocks." - therefore, banned.


 * Those are the only people I've blocked for vandalism in the past couple of days. If you are any of the aforementioned vandals, then I blocked you with good reason.


 * Sláinte mhaith! - Hobbes  (  Talk  ) 13:02, November 28, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thank you for replying, I will take the block even though I was not responsible for any of those things.


 * Good day.


 * Well, mate, I'd like to help you, but this is rather confusing. Those are the only people I've banned for "vandalism" all week. Plus, if you really were banned, you wouldn't be able to leave messages on my talk page.


 * If you'd like this sorted, please link me to the talk page that contains the Blocked message, and I'll review your appeal.


 * Sláinte mhaith! - Hobbes  (  Talk  ) 01:24, November 29, 2011 (UTC)

hello there mate!

hows you?

1st up, i feel i should say SORRY!! ... i was doing it to get this "Making a Difference

I am new to this site, but i really like it.. i was just trying to find something simple.. hense, g = G.. and concidering she went "dont laugh", i felt it was Biggin her up a wee bit!... i didnt do anything to any of the others..

anyway, i hope this explains it..

Leithsceal agus gartha, fad is fearr

Slainte, Cheers


 * Sorry to shove my way in, here, but if you made the edits to the people's pages for the sole purpose of getting the "Making a Difference" achievement, that counts as achievement boosting, which is against this wiki's policy and can end in you getting blocked. Please refrain from doing this in the future.

Title for Series of RDR Short Stories
'Sup, Hobbes! I'm passing this out to everyone who read and reviewed my RDR short story. Before I write more, I'd like to have a name for the series. Would you mind checking out this blog? Thanks, bro!--SAMurai | Say wazzup 02:29, December 23, 2011 (UTC)

Hobbes, some anon keeps putting info of which we have no proof of in the Bill Williamson page. Dragonhunter 2336 05:37, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Let me shed a little light on this, Hobbes. In the trivia section of the Bill Williamson page, there was an entry that stated that the BradyGames strategy guide listed his age. The anon that Dragonhunter is talking about deleted that, and said that the RDR Game of the Year guide booklet said the same thing. I undid that edit, and then added the little bit about the GOTY booklet as it seemed like true information. Then, the anon deleted the whole thing again, and without adding anything about his age, states that the GOTY edition says he was a soldier. Okay - I would believe that as well. Dragonhunter deletes that bit, and then the anon adds it again, and it appears to be somewhat of a minor edit war. Honestly, I don't know why the anon couldn't leave what was there and only add the GOTY info, and I don't know why Dragonhunter deleted the bit about Bill being a soldier. It doesn't seem like false information, but I could be in the wrong by leaving information that is questionable in the article. Perhaps we should ask another user who has the GOTY edition to confirm this info?--SAMurai | Say wazzup 18:42, December 26, 2011 (UTC)

Quotebox
So, I was tweaking templates the other day, and I mentioned to Jack that our quotes needed a little more punch. The quotes all kind of blended in with the page, and if a user didn't know the quotes were there, they'd probably miss them by skimming down the page.

I'm a fan of the quotebox style, but Jack wanted to tweak it a little more and get everyone's opinion. I think the style is in, but what we're concerned about is the color. I love red (my favorite color, actually), but I dunno - I'm just not digging it on the pages for some reason. Jack told me to message you and ask your opinion. Let me know something! :)

Pickett's Gold
Check out the page for Pickett's Gold when you get a chance. One of the users moved the in-game description to the top of the page and put it in Italics, kinda like how some characters have a quote at the top of their page.

What do you think? Would it be a good format to follow for all the other in-game items? I personally don't think it looks too bad, although it might be a bit of a hassle to re-work every single item page...

Cùng tắc biến, biến tắc thông. -LyHungViet 22:16, January 2, 2012 (UTC)


 * Exercising my admin butt-in privileges here :-)


 * That sounded familiar so I took a look at the page history and, sure enough, I'm the one who made the in-game description like that. I was running across a lot of pages that had a section titled "In-game Description" followed by a single line with the in-game description. Then the main "Description" section would follow. I started making the in-game description into a quote at the top of the Description section instead, which I thought worked better.


 * On some pages, like Pickett's Gold, I experimented with having the quote at the top of the article instead to see how it looked, but for most I kept it in the Description section (Example: Duster Coat). As you noted it was modeled after the character quote positioning.


 * I don't have a strong preference for having the quote at the top of the article or in the description section, but I do like having it visually distinct in order to identify it as actual game text vs. a user-contributed description. I think having it in the Description section is probably best.

Vandalism
You know what's funny? In your big quest to save Dragonhunters ass, you still failed to take into account the fact that he added the footer "Problem?" to the picture before deleting it. Now, tell me if you will, why the hell he would do this if he put the photo their by accident. What would he have to gain from adding that little line, and that particular word, to the image? It seems odd, don't you think, that he would go back and edit that thing twice before deleting it, taking time to add the "Problem?" bit, if he wasn't trying to set that other guy up.

I blocked Dragonhunter based on every bit of evidence I was given, all of which I throughly reviewed. If you are determined to undo this and make it seem as though I made a mistake, feel free to do so. I'm just gonna say that what I did do I did with the utmost certainty that what I was doing was the right course of action.

 * I wasn't attempting to insult you, Hobbes. As I'm sure you know from talking to me, I tend to use a bit of an informal dialect when speaking, often resorting to slang and turns of phrase not normally spoken in Oxford English. Please forgive me if I have offended you.


 * Once again, if you feel that you truly have gotten to the bottom of this issue and are right in unblocking Dragonhunter, there is obviously nothing I can or would do to stop you. I am just going to say one last time that, at the current moment and given the current amount of facts I had to deal with, my decision seemed 100% justified to me.


 * It's been nice to be a part of your team and work alongside you to better the state of this wiki. I hope you and the others will continue to be blessed with the kind of rescourceful thinking and ingenuity I have seen you show during my time here.

Hobbes! I just read the posts that u sent me in August. Thanks for insulting me like that because it has to be your way! Ok I understand the fort mercer inhabit incident, but Jenny and Fredrick Littlefield was wrong, I swear to god!!!! Fredrick little field comments WERE wrong! It was right before, completely honest. And Jenny, about her living was there before. Then you had to delete it, and as before, So much for"patrolling" this wiki! Thank you for making me feel Sooooooooooooooooo here at this wiki. Oh and to say it politely....... Piss Off

Somewhat apology
Ok so I got your other messages, so I guess I'm kinda sorry I flustered u. And one last thing. before you go berserk about talking about the man in black. I was just playing RDR, and it was raining so I put my horse in the barn. I rode out and I saw a man in black robes. I went over to him and I listened to his NPC talks. The man is mentioned at the trivia for armadillo. And why the H.e.l.l did you delete it because I didn't have a photo AND I didn't have an account! Other articles don't have pictures. WTF excuse me
