hehe, no worries! I just came to post the image and info, but you were once again ahead of me... And since I am only on Facebook ;-P --SepulSoul 09:52, November 18, 2009 (UTC)

About Image
The improvement was that the image that i have uploaded is on png format and the image that you have upoloaded is on jpg format. Compare both pictures (yours vs mine) and see which one is better.

Take a look on this: http://www.codinghorror.com/blog/archives/000464.html

I suggest you to use png format for screenshots with a lot of text and jpg format on drawings and pictures. In the meantime I have put back the png image, if you don't mind. --Juancdg 18:41, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

my thing is this: if it is so much better, why don't more and more people use jpg instead of png? either jpg or gif seems the "standard" nowadays. That article seems to read as more personal opinion, then fact. I hardly ever see pngs, at least not in several years. I'll leave it for now, since I don't want to start a needless edit war.

Deletion
Why did you delete the talk page?? A record should be kept of the discussion especially since the majority of the users commenting were favoring deletion. Please restore the page. Thank you, Gr-of-Wa 03:15, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you want it deleted? It was marked for deletion, so I just manually wiped it out. Da Irish Kid  03:18, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * It was??? Check the deleted version (admins can do that). Gr-of-Wa 03:20, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Page has been deleted, per your request  <font face="Magneto" color="green" size="2">Da Irish Kid  03:21, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think we are talking about different pages here. I'm talking about the talk page of the redirect that was originally not a redirect. You deleted that first. I don't recall anyone tagging that for deletion, but we were discussing the deletion of the redirect. Gr-of-Wa 03:27, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I deleted the redirect, but kept the original, since it was a dupe page. Maybe I hit the wrong one??  <font face="Magneto" color="green" size="2">Da Irish Kid  03:29, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * "Delete this, this is a duplicate page.", hince the deletion. Plus it was a redirect to the same page.  <font face="Magneto" color="green" size="2">Da Irish Kid  03:32, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * I see what happened. He was talking about the redirect, and he explained his reason on the talk page, hence that. If you read the deleted content, you can see what happened. Now all you need to do is delete the redirect, and you're done. Thanks for explaining. Gr-of-Wa 03:39, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Redirect deleted, talk page is still active. Original Page still up and running.  Hope this mess is over with LOL  <font face="Magneto" color="green" size="2">Da Irish Kid  03:43, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
 * Just an FYI, this is linked to my blackberry, so yea, I hope it's over...I am sick of hearing it go off :P <font face="Magneto" color="green" size="2">Da Irish Kid  03:47, November 28, 2009 (UTC)

Modifying Job Pages
I just read through the Brigadir job page and saw that the mastery percentage for the two Mafiya jobs is no longer correct. Both jobs now give 8%, 7%, and 6% for the first, second, and third mastery respectively. I'm new here and don't have the necessary privileges to correct this myself but I suppose you know someone to do this. Oh and is there a particular reason why the wiki menu on the left redirects to the Brigadir category twice but not once to the Avtoritet category? (It's Jobs - Moscow - Brigadir) Best, Owed  04:24, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * Weird, I just did a L2 Brigadir and it only gave me 5%. <font face="Magneto" color="green" size="2">Da Irish Kid  04:39, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * I just did the L3 "Strip A Uniform Off The Corpse" job and got 6% mastery. I took a screen shot and uploaded it here. Owed  16:44, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
 * That's crazy, since I just did it early this morning (same job, L2 tho) and it gave me 5%, and of course I did forget to screenshot it, but yea. Maybe it's Zynga screwing around?  <font face="Magneto" color="green" size="2">Da Irish Kid  16:50, November 30, 2009 (UTC)

Spam Blacklist
I used the following words in an edit summary and it triggered the spam blacklist: "Commented out bug". I'm not sure which word was the trigger, but these seem like fairly common words. I'm surprised the blacklist is preventing them from being used. --Ultimate Frog-Man 05:00, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * I'll look into it, when I have a moment. Da Irish Kid  05:02, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok the spam blacklist is located on the main wikia server, and is not local. What we could possibly do here is create a spam whitelist to allow certain things that are on the blacklist.  However, we should run this by Edricteo since he adopted this wikia, before creating a whitelist.
 * If this is for the benefit of the community, just go ahead with that project. Edricteo  05:21, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

Category Removal
Hey man, I have no idea why you are removing the categories that I just added to pages. Most of those pages had no categories to begin with, and as a helper staff member of Wikia Gamining, I was only trying to help you guys out by categorizing the pages. Sorry if I was doing something wrong. - Wagnike2 18:06, December 1, 2009 (UTC)
 * A few catagories had no existance, so until such a time, I removed them. Also you need to double check what you are catagorizing.  For instance, the catagory "Boss" that you link the boss fights to, came under the jobs related to the Boss level, and was not related.  I'm sorry for the removal.  Just be careful, and double check ok?  Thanks for the help.  Da Irish Kid  18:09, December 1, 2009 (UTC)nde
 * Right, I understand. To bpe honest I really had no ideawhat to categorize the Boss Fights page under, I think categorizing is something this Wiki could definitely improve on. I created the category of Game information, just as a beginning point to talk about basic gameplay things. You guys had a category for Gameplay changes, but unless I missed it nothing about basic game information.
 * I figured Boss Fights would work better under NPC. Anyways, do what you can.  Just remember my 2 basic things: 1) We are the foremost wikia on Mafia Wars, and endorsed by Top Mafia-Disabled, so we strive to be accurate and up to date as humanly possible and 2) Have fun :)  Welcome aboard and thanks for the help!  Da Irish Kid  18:17, December 1, 2009 (UTC)

Manrikigusari Chain and Tessen Fan do not exist at all. They are rumored items Edricteo  08:17, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
 * Actually, I have done some research on it. Somehow it ended up on Dirty Martini's datebase, and that updates when people use his bookmarklet o it must exist. Plus everyone has stats on them as well.  Da Irish Kid  08:19, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

I know that the stats of the 2 items appear in a lot of mafia wars sites, however, I am sure that none of them have the images available. The 2 weapons are reported to be in Yakuza Crate. I had a link to a admin account, which had all the weapons up to Moscow expansion, however, these 2 weapons are not inside. One conclusion of why Dirty Martini's database have the 2 weapons were that he manually copy the stats from other site to the database. Edricteo 09:03, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
