RE: New User
Oh, hey man, don't worry about it. I wasn't offended that you removed that link or anything, and I hope I didn't come across like that. I just said that my point didn't stand anymore because, for now, the only existing contributions from this guy are, in their own special way, somewhat useful. We'll wait and see, eh?

Users
Hey, heads up about another possible vandal. Lyndzee902651 recently added a link to one of the pics on the Tobiano Pinto page that goes to some random article called 'I Love You.' I also saw what he did to the page for that Red Dead Revolver location, so IMO this guy seems to be wanting trouble.

 * Sorry to jump in here, but I saw this comment pop up just after leaving a note on that user's talk page. There was actually a third similar edit that didn't show up in history. Kind of a weird one because it was a help page that showed as a new page creation, but was already fully populated. It seems that help pages automatically transclude the equivalent Wikia help page and just prepend any local edits. So, I just edited out the local changes since it couldn't be reverted and deletion didn't seem like the right move.


 * In any case, I left a note for the user - I'm reading it as misguided edits by a (likely young) user rather than malicious, but will be keeping an eye out.

 * There's also the IP adress 207.237.50.51 who has made multiple unhelpful changes to articles such as Pig Josh and Tomahawk that I've had to fix. Might wanna watch this boi.

A question
hey im not sure who to ask or where to look, i have tried to figure this out on my own but i cant seem to. Im actually not even sure if you would know but, i have noticed on RDR the leaderboards dont seem to update at all? im not sure how to explain it really. so i do alot of land grabs and i know for a fact i have way more kills then it say i have. im wondering if when you go to 5th lvl 50, since you dont get XP, your points (i guess you could say) dont go the boards anymore? like i said i dont know if you understand me or if you even know but i though i would ask. also im not sure if this would be a page so i just asked you. oh and i did ask R* but they never responded. thanks.MADSCY 17:49, July 3, 2011 (UTC)

right on man. thanks for responding. i dont really care either but i was just lookin at the other day and thinking that my stats should be higher then they where. peace.

Re: Talk:Bear One Another's Burdens
Okay. It won't happen again. Really, I should've known better. I promise I won't do such a thing again. You have my word on that Hobbes.

P.S. I'm glad you liked my film. I've got one about Red Dead Revolver coming up pretty soon too.

Posse
i know that you, jack frost and some other people are in a posse/clan. whats the name of it i'd like to see what you guys can do.


 * Well, we're not in a posse. I have Jack on my friends list and we play together the odd time, but that's it. Honestly, I'm not even good at the game.


 * Sláinte mhaith! - Hobbes  (  Talk  ) 16:50, July 5, 2011 (UTC)

Can You Take a Look at This?
Jared Chastain re-upped a smaller version of my pic for Vincente de Santa. Setting aside my annoyance that he re-upped an existing pic, I'm baffled by how the new pics page shows that it has been added to 84 articles:

http://reddead.wikia.com/wiki/File:300px-Rdr_vincente_santa_%28better%29.jpg#filelinks

But if you go to the articles, the pic is not on the pages.

My brain hurts trying to figure out how this occurred or why...

- JackFrost23 16:12, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Wow, You Weren't Kidding
That's an awful lot of unhelpful and unnecessary edits you just undid, there.

I started to take a look at those edits, but every time I'd get to a page, you'd already undone it. :D

Good job!

-JackFrost23 17:53, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Like Jack, I was a little too slow to help out with the "undoing" this morning (you're a machine, man). After seeing this new set of edits pop up just now, I was about to leave a message for the user about categorization, but I noticed you just blocked him. I'll hold off on the assumption you're working on a message for him right now.


 * One related thing I did do - I recategorized "Undead Characters" so that it falls under "Undead Nightmare characters." Since Undead Characters only occur in Undead Nightmare, that makes sense and it means that only the Undead Characters category needs to be assigned where applicable since the parent category is implied. That leaves "Undead Nightmare characters" to cover the non-Undead characters who appear in the game (e.g. Sasquatch Hunter).

Editing
Hey, Hobbes!

I hope that the recent work I've been doing for the Red Dead Revolver stuff is okay. I tried to follow your format as much as possible. Anyway, if you'd like I'll try to finish off the mission pages and then fix up the weapon articles as well. Unfortunately I will have to be traveling over the next couple of days, so I'm not sure how much I'll be able to do until next week. I'll try to get over the jet-lag as quick as possible, though.

Anyway, the reason I'm writing this is just to let you guys know that, despite me not creating any new pages for a while, I haven't abandoned the Revolver stuff, and I will try to finish it if you want.

Sorry for the bother,

Cùng tắc biến, biến tắc thông. -LyHungViet 19:47, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

Picture Size
Have you been changing the picture size to 250px on the character pages?

I think it looks better at 300px which is what I've been setting them at for, like ever.

Which do you prefer so we can come to a consensus and stop re-doing each others edits. :D

- JackFrost23 19:57, July 6, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Bounty Template
I was in teh process of making it display the reward and wanted poster sections (as well as the default placeholder image) when I hit your last edit.

I have overwritten what you did with my code as it's what you're working toward anyway.

Also, I left in the sections on Usage and Output because those can be helpful at times.

Lemme know whatcha think... :)

- JackFrost23 20:35, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Okay, try it now. :)


 * - JackFrost23 20:56, July 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Is the code still only in the Bounty Target Tester? If so, that's the problem.


 * I copied the code into the Bounty Targets Template and saved it.


 * You can delete the tester template as it's not being used.


 * Check out Rigoberto Artiz for the new look...


 * Any other Bounty Targets you edit should have the proper infobox now.


 * Cheers!

Slink Bradshaw
Hobbes -

Slink was always a Bounty Target...

He's already got a Wanted Poster on his page. Granted, the picture of him looks more like Bill Williamson in the one I posted, but it's there... ;)

You!
I can't tell you how many times I've gone to clean up a page someone has made a mistake on and all of a sudden I see that you've already done it! I'm getting sick of it! Sick of it!...Just kidding, you're doing a great job on the wiki. Keep it up! Sam samurai 22:20, July 7, 2011 (UTC)

P.S. i deleted that guy's message because i dont want people insulting me on my talk page

 * RED DEAD BEAST, I'm not going to unblock you because:


 * 1) It doesn't matter if he insulted you, I told you not to remove content from your talk page and you still did. You can only remove it if it was obvious vandalism and what Ianbuckjames said to you wasn't vandalism, he was addressing a problem he had with you.
 * 2) Your block's up today, anyway. Exactly 72 hours after I blocked you, you will be unblocked.

RE: Remedios Jurado
Yes! I didn't think I did anything wrong, I just hit the publish button and next thing I know, it was blank. I was just trying to fix grammer, as having her name repeated so often isn't as neat-looking. It was an accident and I hope you can fix it! Sam samurai 18:25, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

RED DEAD BEAST
I added a one week block for the IP 12.39.114.198. Although this IP is covered by the RED DEAD BEAST block (and has already been triggered following that block), I wanted to add it so that it would be in the block record for future reference. That IP was used earlier, while the previous three day block was still active, to personally insult you in a blog post comment (which I deleted).

2ks4 19:13, July 8, 2011 (UTC)

Enough is enough, you prevent me constantly. You are the real bullshitter. I just write and you delete my words and block my account. Look my message. I send message to wikia. False adress. Say your E-Mail and well-read what I wrote. In the past that I related obstacles. If you are a truly honorable.

VD
Each change in my hinder me. He remains articles you have damage?

I'm sorry, this will never happen again. But I got to block 3 times in succession. I just like to add some things. I was very bored and I love this site and I like to change some things. I once e-mail sent to you. I think I sent the wrong place. I was just looking at the pages I have seen in the empty spaces I want to change, perhaps, but a loss is the excess does not accurately correct. One more will not repeat.

You're right, but I already have my work. Anyway, just forgive me. In the meantime, I threw my e-mail with the most recent that I was about to block.

Albino Buffalo/Real World Images
Hey.

Sorry about the real world images I posted. I just wanted people to see the difference between an Albino buffalo and a White buffalo.

Anywho, I figured it was okay considering that the Elk page has a picture of a real-world Elk. You should fix that as well, if you haven't already.

Again, sorry.

A'ight, bro. I'm back in the U.S now and have my copy of Red Dead Revolver, so I'll be trying to finish up those mission pages real soon. I was also wondering if for the weapons I should use the same infobox as the Redemption ones, or if you guys are gonna create a new one?

 * - JackFrost23 22:36, July 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think it's a template issue since I can get other character pages to load.


 * The only commonality I can think of is that I changed the pics on both pages. But, again, I've never known a pic change to make a page inaccessible... :/

Fixing Infoboxes
Not that I want to discourage you, but it might be pointless to add the lines that aren't being used to the infobox.

I tried for a long time to keep the lines there, but achievement hunters always use them as a way to get edit counts.

After awhile I got tired of reverting edits and re-adding the info and just stopped bothering as I was beginning to feel like Sisyphus.

Cheers!

Edits
I was wondering why do you almost ALWAYS edit the pages i edit?!

Re: Blocked template
Yeah, I was thinking of something along the same lines. I don't always leave an extra comment, but it would be nice to be able to incorporate it into the template when I do. I know there are some variations of the Blocked template created by different admins - I haven't checked to see if any of them might have such a field already.

While I'm here - a heads up: I mentioned a while back that I was going to work on setting up a featured article voting system, as has been done on other wikis. I have enough of the basic pieces in place that I think it's ready to be launched as a "beta" while everything is finalized. I'll drop you a note tonight or tomorrow once I finish a couple of final tweaks. I'd love to get your feedback on it.

For now, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume you're just frustrated. However, now you've been warned. Insult me or any other user again and you'll be blocked.

Possible Fake Articles
I had written to the user this morning asking the intent behind the two "George" articles. You and Jack are much more familiar with the range of characters than I am, so if the Richard Canterbury article seems bogus to you, definitely go with your judgement. I happened to be doing some Poker and Five Finger Fillet in the game last night and was on the lookout for the Georges, just in case they were real, but saw no sign of them.

Revolver Weapon Pics
I haven't recently checked on the RDRev weapon pictures, but when i last looked there were pictures but they were very small. Is there some way that you could take them and make them bigger, then put them into the template when added to the page, or maybe you could have someone volunteer or assigned to this.

I have talked to JackFrost and he said to talk to you about it.

It was so nice to check in to the wiki this morning, see some edits that needed fixing, and .... hey, Hobbes already took care of it! I hope you had a good time in Ireland.

I even got you a "welcome back" gift - I checked out the Dollars Trilogy wiki and noticed that an anonymous user had blanked out a bunch of character pages, so I went through and restored all of those (I think I caught all of them).
