Question
Every Time I Edited something, I got a message from someone. So, I'm wondering if it's just an automatic message or something you would have to personally send to me.

ME2 Giveaway
Hey Joe, this is SpartHawg948, one of the admins over at the Mass Effect wiki. As I'm sure you've noticed by now, there has been a lot of ill-will created as a result of the contest, as well as some very unpleasant comments that have arisen, primarily due to the US entrants only stipulation, which isn't sitting well with community that contains at least as many Non-Americans as Americans. I know that you guys are just trying to make a fun contest, but is there any way you could make it clear that this isn't something that the ME wiki admins had anything to do with, or maybe post it as a subpage, not a blog, which leads to the streams of nasty posts? B/C even though this is something we at the ME wiki didn't know anything about till after you posted the info, you did put it on our wiki, which leads people to link the giveaway with us, not the central Gaming Wiki, and that leads to lots of headache and unpleasantness for us. If it's not possible, I'll understand and we'll just grit our teeth and make the best of it (well, as the only currently/consistently active admin there I'll grit my teeth and make the best of it) and press on, but anything you could do to alleviate the situation would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! SpartHawg948 22:23, January 14, 2010 (UTC)

 * I want to be a Gaming Staff member and occassionally as Babyjabba said that Wiki hire staff members so I was wondering if I could be promoted sometime. Is that possible? Thanks.

RE:Request for help with redesign
Thanks for getting back to me, JoePlay. Since Jorge has offered to help us with the Portals specifically, it would be great if you could work out the redesigned Main page, NavTabs and general appearance of the Wiki. I'm looking forward to seeing it. Thanks again! -Revitalizer (talk) 22:22, January 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * I do like the look of it (including the featured video). With the Bloglist for site news on that page and the planned Bloglist on each portal for news form around Wiki's gaming communities, I don't know that the Bulletin Board is necessary. Do you think that could be replaced by some form of navigation? The Nintendo Wiki has something similar with their boxes for "Nintendo Products" and "Recent Releases". Perhaps our equivalent could be a box linking to the various current gaming platforms and a box listing recent or upcoming major game release? -Revitalizer (talk) 22:58, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * By the way, do you mind if I ask how you uploaded the images used on our Bulletin Board to the JoePlayground Wiki? Was it manual (download, upload using individual/multiple upload) or did you use some type of program or feature? -Revitalizer (talk) 23:02, January 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay, thanks. I was hoping there might of been a new, easier way to do that (it makes merging Wikis not so fun :p ).
 * Anyways, we may definitely revise these in the future, but for now Wii, Wii U, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation Vita, and Nintendo 3DS would work for consoles. I'm not about to say on my own which games are big releases or not so for the time being, so how about using the links/images provided here for the 1-5 and 7? I think those are a pretty good gauge of what recent releases were "major". -Revitalizer (talk) 17:46, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I'm aware. It'll be best if they follow the links provided in the Top 10 list for now. I think the page looks quite nice though. There's nothing else I can think of. -Revitalizer (talk) 20:26, January 4, 2013 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the help, JoePlay! We're already customizing and getting input, so hopefully we can continue on build on this. It's a great foundation and much needed. -Revitalizer (talk) 17:35, January 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * That's definitely fine by us. -Revitalizer (talk) 03:05, January 10, 2013 (UTC)
