{{Template|infobox mission}} has one parameter "unlockedby" for the prerequisite mission for that mission. I can't think of any missions where you NEED a particular weapon, but perhaps some require you to bring a specific vehicle? Forget using the infobox, and dont make a new template - just a new section recommending what you should bring, even if its just something like: "any SMG, pistol or shotgun, with enough ammo to wipe out 50 people". If you screenshot a youtube video (or similar), that is awful quality UNLESS its a high-definition youtube video, or from another site with higher-quality video. I'd suggest taking the screenshots yourself, or finding someone else who can. Of course an image is useful, but don't put them for the sake of it - stuff like "this is the street CJ has to walk down" is useless UNLESS its a hard-to-find street and the picture explains where to go. Imagine what people would ASK for a picture of. The transcript is fine, but left-align the headings - we dont use central headings for anything. I imagine the format is good enough for anyone who wants to read it. Dont forget that in GTA IV, most missions have at least 2 sets of dialogue for car journeys. It's good that you've left out useless comments eg fight scenes.

<div style="background-color:#EFE">:I've just got a few thoughts. | |||
:*First of all, if there is to be a brief section then I see no point in giving the brief in the introduction, as is done here. | |||
:*I would also suggest removing the spoiler tag, as it is obvious there will be spoilers when detailing the story of the game. | |||
:*I would also suggest introducing a reward section, just outlining the rewards. | |||
:*In the infobox, may I suggest putting in a link to the street, area of Bohan and a link to LC in GTA IV. | |||
:*The walkthrough seems to describe in slightly longer detail what is stated in the brief section, so merging them may be an option. | |||
:*I'm not a big fan of adding the video to the article, although I know that it will be quiet useful to users. However, may I suggest the video be changed when GTAmissions adds his videos in 2009, as they are linked to on all but the GTA Advance mission pages. | |||
:*Also, the mission table at the bottom of the page should be removed. I've removed that from every mission based article as I think, to be honest, it does not look good. If you are going to use a mission footer, then may I suggest using the one GK made a while ago. Looks much better than this one. | |||
:*Not sure why the link to the YouTube page for the video is linked to, when the video is located directly above. | |||
:*As for the script page, I would suggest writing the names out in full, i.e. Niko Bellic instead of just Niko. | |||
:Okay, so that's more than a few, but I'm currently writing a reflective piece of a presentation from last Tuesday, meaning I'm nitpicking. Well, just my suggestions. Also, if this is adopted, should the other mission articles be changed to this format? [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 23:51, 1 December 2008 (UTC)</div> | |||
