Reilly's Rangers and the Statesman Hotel Elevator
Quoting from the Elevator on the Mid-level, with a level 22 character, with 100 repair, along with various other skills (An earlier save made during the quest):

"The elevator panel needs to be repaired in order to operate the elevator."

Please recognize that:
 * The consensus of those who previously contributed to the guide are aware of the Elevator's ability to be repaired only from the roof, with a fission battery in hand, at the panel.
 * Other sites that deal with the quest as part of a walkthrough have also found this to be true, as seen by a simple google search involving "Elevator", "Statesman Hotel", and "Reilly".
 * There -is- a repair check in the quest, albeit optional, with the elevator. It is, however, further along in the quest than where you've specified, and accessible only with a fission battery, and on the roof's Elevator Panel. Make sure you aren't getting them confused.
 * In this case, should your claim be true, yours is the extraordinary suggestion. No other has yet to confirm such a radically different method (I've tried twice now, getting that same message, with different saves). As such, before submitting it into the article and telling those who disagree with you to "write it into bugs", you should rather submit it to the discussion page and see if anyone can replicate your situation.
 * It would be highly advised to include all information applicable in what allowed you to be able to perform this task, even to the most mundane tidbit.

Because of these things, I am going to revise the edit back. Please note that this is not because I am trying to deny you of an edit, or trying to start a revision war, but because going through the proper channels, especially with this type of thing, will help to not confuse other users. If your trick does actually work, then you may actually shorten the quest for alot of users! If not, however, it's better to list it as a possible glitch, or maybe even not at all.

Please seriously consider these steps before re-adding the information, as I will be forced to request admin intervention under those circumstances!

Thank you, and have a nice day! Jwguy 07:18, 11 June 2009 (UTC)


 * On trying your suggestion, I find that you are certainly correct on your finding. I did not spot the panel, and I had believed you were trying to convince me that the elevator as a whole could be repaired from this point (Top to bottom). Please do add this to the article, and I appreciate your being civil with me. However! Please do remember to note the panel's presence and function, and that it only allows you to ride to the Restaurant. Perhaps that will be clearer.

Thanks! Jwguy 07:33, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
