hi, I made this logo [[Image:GTA-Wiki.png|right]], no idea if you like it, but I thought it would work well to replace your current wiki logo [[Image:Wiki.png]]. anyway, cheers! -- [[User:Olipro|Olipro]] 14:32, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

:I have to say, I like the new logo better than the old one. But don't you think you should add a GTA IV screenshot to have every GTA 3D title covered? And it appears that this Wiki is all about San Andreas with the SA font. I think you should use another one but I don't know what the others think. And just one thing: The woman in the lower left-hand corner isn't that important to include it on a logo for a video game where much more important characters are in (add Tommy, Toni, Vic or Niko e.g.) [[User:Zaibatsu|Zaibatsu]] 16:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

Heya.  No, I can't see anything wrong per se.  My only advice would be maybe trying to categorize by game instead of by city, then game, e.g. creating [[:Category:Subway Stations in GTA IV]], which would then fall under [[:Category:Subway Stations]] and [[:Category:GTA IV]].  Things that are common to more than one game will then just have multiple categorizations.  What do you think?

:When you specify which game, simply say "in GTA IV", rather than "(IV)". So [[:Category:Bridges in Liberty City (IV)]] should be [[:Category:Bridges in Liberty City in GTA IV]]. This is consistent with all our page namings ([[Liberty City in GTA IV]] not [[Liberty City (IV)]]). However, since this is a bit long, we could instead use [[:Category:Bridges in GTA IV]]. The bot is going to do some category renaming over the next few days, so don't worry if things don't match up straightaway.

== Walkthroughs ==
Just a comment on something you said on [[Grand Theft Wiki talk:Featured content]]. You said that all mission walkthroughs should be moved to missionname/walkthough, but this is incorrect. A small-to-medium sized walkthrough is fine for the mission page, like on [[It's Your Call]]. Most of the time, that is all that needs to go onto a mission page. But if there is more than one walkthrough, or a really long one, then it is better to put them on sub-pages rather than have a massive mission page. I hope that's a bit clearer.

== Streetwannabes ==
hi sorry to bother you but in some articles where the Shark gang is mentioned they are instead referred to as "streetwannabes." are they supposed to be that way? [[User:Olympics|Olympics]] 02:43, 27 August 2008 (UTC)
==Links within Script==
Hi, A-Dust.  I noticed you added the links I removed from the script on the mission [[Cam-Pain]].  I thought having links within the script looks a little messy and detracts from the ''in-universe'' perspective, but you seem to disagree.  Has there been a discussion regarding this matter?  Personally, I think links should be used only in text that has been created by a GTW editor to describe something pertaining to a [[Grand Theft Auto|GTA]] game, but not in actual game dialogue or in-game text.  Thoughts? '''[[User:Eganio|Eganio]]<sup>''[[User talk:Eganio|Talk]]''</sup>''' 16:59, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
:It's not ''my'' discussion, but I have to agree with [[user:Eganio|Eganio]]. I quoted my own real life friend when I was talking to Eganio, and even then I was weary about putting links in it. I have seen the other end of this discussion on Eganio's [[user talk:Eganio|user talk page]], and I do see your point, but I still don't know 100% if I agree with that.

== Wok & Wok ==
Hi, now I know for the future that my reason for wanting to delete the [[Wok and Iron]] article is not a good reason, Thanks for saying that, every bit I learn helps me help this wiki better. However, are you sure that ''that'' article was referring to [[Wok & Wok]]? How could a person get those names mixed up? As in, where would the "Iron" have even come from? If this is a ''stupid question'' please forgive me, but to me, the answer remains a mystery.

== Main Page rename ==
Since you seem to be the most active admin, I wanted to let you that I just renamed the Main Page to Grand Theft Auto Wiki. I've been assigned with stopping by all the top gaming wikis and making sure their main page is named (Game Name) Wiki instead of Main Page, for search engine optimization purposes. If you admins decide you don't want the keep the new main page name, you obviously have the right to revert, but I would strongly suggest keeping it so that even more people will find this wiki. Cheers. =) [[User:JoePlay|JoePlay]] ([[User_talk:JoePlay|talk]]) 19:45, 30 December 2008 (UTC)

== Perfect Mission ==
Hi, now that I have taken a break from it (I forgot about it), I can actually see your point in everything you said on my perfect mission [[User talk:Biggest gta fan ever/Perfect Mission|talk page]]. I have done everything except for merge the walkthrough and brief. In this case they are very similar, but this is meant to be a guide for writing mission articles, and most mission articles on the wiki DO have a brief. Thanks for the input!

== Inactive Staff ==
Hey - just a quick note to say that it's not really an admin/sysops job to determine when a staff member has become inactive enough to be moved out of the main staff lists. The inactive staff are ones who haven't got in contact and (as far as we know) aren't coming back. Other staff may just be away for a while and planning on returning, so we'd keep listing them as active for a while. The thing is that they may have got in contact with me and you may not realise when de-listing. However, this time you happen to be right, both those moves were correct, so no harm done. I may move GuildKnight to the inactive staff list too, but I'll do a few more checks before that happens. Thanks for pointing that out though, did need to happen! - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 03:25, 8 January 2009 (UTC)

== GTA IV Characters ==
Recently I've tried to spend more time expanding the wiki, instead of just maintaining it. So I will do a bit of character work. Firstly, by "mentioned online", did you mean the real world Internet or the in-game Internet? Secondly, how minor does a character need to be before being just a mention on another article, rather than have their own article? An example of that (but don't answer just by answering the example, because they get more minor than this), you mentioned [[Weazel News]]. I've noticed that Mike Whitley, the main reporter of the radio news, doesn't have his own article, nor is he mentioned on the WN page. He doesn't actually "appear" in the game (just his voice), so which one should it be? '''[[User:Biggest gta fan ever|Biggest GTA Fan Ever]]<sup>''[[User talk:Biggest gta fan ever|Talk]]''</sup>''' 09:05, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
:Just letting you know that I haven't forgotten about the characters. I have a couple of screenshots I want to take in GTA IV so while I'm doing that I will go online, and keep an eye/ear out for people mentioned on signs, radio etc. I don't know much of what's on the in-game Internet because I think that the Internet/TV are the two most useless features in any GTA game ever, and that with the disk space that R* used for them, they could have made the city bigger or the story longer. Anyway, I will do that soon! '''[[User:Biggest gta fan ever|Biggest GTA Fan Ever]]<sup>''[[User talk:Biggest gta fan ever|Talk]]''</sup>''' 09:50, 11 January 2009 (UTC)
==GTAIV timeline==
Hello im new here (but not in the wikia community about 6000 edit in all) i just found something that should be notice about the timeline: the story isn' set in 2008 but in 2007 in october to be accurate. i found this information on the official page of the game from facebook and the page itself as been set by one of the R* staff so the information may be take has a possible official source [[http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=1493626324&ref=name#/group.php?sid=f186ec869f1ea399503d95479fc90e44&gid=2373329855]] here is the link to let you judge by yourself.

==Marco Forelli==
Hi,
I was wondering, why did you delete the Marco Forelli page? There was already given proof and i don't see why you had to go and delete it.
Unless you haven't listened to em' yet, then here's a link to the Video. I found audio files of CJ threatning Marco and calling him by his name:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QFzsI8XH-Q4&feature=channel_page --[[User:Sean93|Sean93]] 09:04, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
Yes, but these Audio files we're in the San Andreas SFX script, i had to use SAAT just to find them. The Audio files aren't fake, they just weren't used in the final version of SA. Unless R* says otherwise, the Forelli that CJ killed is Marco. --[[User:Sean93|Sean93]] 22:29, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
:Until Rockstar says otherwise, the man is unnamed. The name was cut from the final version of the game, so they wanted the character un-named. Otherwise, they would have left the dialogue in. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 22:37, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
It's still worth mentioning somewhere. --[[User:Sean93|Sean93]] 23:39, 22 January 2009 (UTC)
==Undo?==
What the hell? You reverted my edit? Now the infobox looks garbled like it did before. If you prefer to let your wiki look like crap, then fine. I formatted it to wikia standards, and now it just looks juvenile. Have fun with your kindergarten mentality, loser. -[[User:Sec 1971|Sec_1971]] 21:42, 2 February 2009 (UTC)
== Sec 1971 etc ==
A-Dust. The first thing I would like to say is that whilst the wiki has changed quite a bit, there are a number of things that haven't changed - you and I are the best examples of that. Your knowledge of the intricacies of this wiki and its content is unparalleled, and I will continue to stand by you. I won't let a couple of informal complaints about you reverting edits make you leave. Yes, I think you should be using discussion pages a little more, since many people will be unfamiliar with the reasons for your (valid) reverts. But nothing more serious than that. Stick around - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 01:41, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Perhaps we could discuss the issue of including Claude Speed in the article. What seems to bother you with his inclusion? - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 16:26, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
:That is certainly agreeable, but it's not a question of whether he is the same character, but rather what traits from this character were brought over to the other Claude. Both renditions' similar outfits and first names may not be solid evidence of both characters being one, but it does indicate DMA (Rockstar North) may have simply reused elements from Claude Speed when molding GTA III's Claude, hence the mention. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 16:42, 19 April 2009 (UTC)
== Sorry ==
Yes sorry if I do some things wrong around here, I am quite new to the Wiki. I speak English fluently, it being my primary language and all, as a consequence, alot of my edits will be simply grammar and spelling-based. I don't know how to do alot of things, as posting on this talk page I might even be doing wrong lol. I am rather new, as i've said, but I do try to be on here atleast once a week, as it's a good community and contributing seems like the right thing to do :P
Also, could somebody tell me how to add a signature to the end of my talk posts, like everyone else on here has ,':|
Edit: Also if you would like to get into easier contact with me, say for instance to tell me how to do things lol, i'd happily post my MSN address here, (if that's allowed by the rules, i'm not sure), as I don't mind if i get random adds.
:Hi Daniel! No youre absolutely right to post on a staff member's talk page like this. And nice job on your edits so far, they seem to be pretty useful, so keep up the good work. To sign your name, simply use four tildas, like <code><nowiki>~~~~</nowiki></code>. You can edit your signature in your [[Special:Preferences|Preferences]]. Always do this on talk pages (but not actual articles). As for your MSN address, your personal [[User:Ess-Tee|user page]] is probably the best page for that. If you want, you can switch between a social profile (like [[User:Ess-Tee|yours]]) and a wiki profile (like [[User:Gboyers|mine]]) by going to [[Special:ToggleUserPage]]. Hope that helps.

Ok, i've taken your advice, and have chosen to change to a Wiki user page, thankyou very much for that, but could I ask how to actually add things to it? Also, at the end of editing a page, I usually fly through and, consequently, forget to leave a summary of my edit, is this a major problem, or should I just be careful to not forget it so much? =P Thankyou for all your help, and I hope my 'noobiness' (lol) doesn't eat up too much of your time.
[[User:Ess-Tee|Ess-Tee]] 16:03, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
:Whether you have a wiki user page or a social profile is entirely your choice - I wasn't recommending one over the other. If you have a wiki user page, you can just click edit and add whatever you want. If you have a social profile, the details are filled in from the options. Edit summaries are useful, especially when the reason for your edit is not obvious. So if you're rearranging a page, removing text or a picture, or doing ''anything'' that someone else ''might'' be confused about, then you should put a summary. If you can do one for every edit, that's great, but not ''always'' required. And I'm happy to lend my time to people who ask nicely :) [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 18:24, 23 April 2009 (UTC)
== Cleanup Project ==
Hi A-Dust. As part of our first [[Project:Cleanup Projects|Cleanup Project]], I have assigned some tasks to [[staff]] members. This way, all the tasks get done, not just the obvious ones. Could you have a go at the [[Special:WantedPages|WantedPages]] and try and fix as many red-links as possible? This may consist of fixing a spelling mistake, adding a redirect, or creating some new pages. I don't expect you to be able to create all of these pages, so if you could concentrate on fixing the ones that can be fixed (eg spelling mistakes, wrong names for pages), that would be great. Just ask if you have any questions, or read the [[Project:Cleanup Projects|project page]].

:Sorry Matt, I hadn't seen that notice. You've been our biggest contributor to this wiki, and I'm disappointed that you aren't a fan of it anymore, but I respect your right to come and go as you please. The changes are annoying, especially when we aren't consulted, and when we don't have a choice. I always wondered why you never really got involved in the 'management' of the wiki, and I never understood how you manage to make thousands of edits, but I'm grateful for what you've done, and you will always be welcome here. I would say 'keep up the good work', but that's your choice. Good luck with your university work too.

==Friend requests==
Hi a-dust, when trying to do friend requests every time i click accept it declines, you being the 'expert' can you help this? [[User:Gsf4l|Gsf4l]] 18:58 April 26th 2009 (UTC)
== Guide Me ==
I would love to find out the real pedestrian names, but I don't where to go on the internet that gives the real model names. Do you know of a site that could tell me?

== Forum ==
Why'd you undo the thing i did in the forum? There's nothing left to discuss if it's actually Liberty City. Is there a better way to get rid of the topic or what? SuperTron500 12:08, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
:Why sign my topic with four tildes? What does that even mean? Also, why should the topic stay up just so people can leave smug remarks? I removed it to bare fruit from not having to deal with that. --SuperTron500 12:14, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
::Then the topic stays, obviously. But i doubt any intelligent discussion will come of it. I'm afraid i can't comply with your "sign your posts with four tidles" thing because i still don't know what you mean. I always use the button at the top to sign my posts, and i have no intention of writting it out if that's what you mean. SuperTron500 12:21, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
== GTA IV ==
Have you played [[Grand Theft Auto IV|GTA IV]] and/or found any children within the game? I'm certain some of the short pedestrians in backpacks are minors but i'm looking to get it confirmed. [[User_talk: SuperTron500]]
:So we're just to assume all the short backpacked characters are 18 and over? I guess that's a stretch, but if that's how Rockstar wants it i'll "believe" them. Would you mind describing to me some things you don't like about the game? I'd like your opinion in regards to it. [[User_talk: SuperTron500]]
::Whatever, get snippy if you want, like [[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]. I bet you talk nice to him. I never said what i believe matters, i was just trying to be casual and break some ice. I guess you not liking the game doesn't mean anything, it probably just doesn't suit your tastes. I'm not taking special time out to sign my posts special for you anymore, either. Thanks though SuperTron500 12:47, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
:::What argument? Your opinion is irrelevant too, as is everyone's, apparently. Also, notice how i never mentioned tidles in my last message? No, obviously you didn't because you added i "didn't do it anyway". I added an open way to access my talk page and that was good enough. Your asking me to use tidles didn't make sense because when i tried it, it created the same effect of a non-clickable name. By not signing my posts special all i mean is i'm not going to type out a way to get to my talk page anymore. SuperTron500 12:57, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
::::So your knowlege is correct. Your opinion is still no more relevant than mine. I never made a reference to my using tidles because i don't fully understand what they even are, i simply said i made it special, i just typed [[User_talk: SuperTron500]], it's as simple as that. Perhaps that's using tidles and i didn't realize it or something. I'll always use that whenever i'm dealing with a user who doesn't respond on their own talk page from now on, so at least something positive came from that. And for that i really have to thank you.

== EDITING PAGE TITLE FROM "USER TALK: NIM" ==
O.K A DUST.
COULD U GIVES US AN IDEA AS TO HOW TO CHANGE THE TITLE OF MY PAGE FROM TITLE QUOTED (Usertalk:NIM).
CHEERS,
NIM.
== ARTICLE AUTHORS..WHO ARE THEY? ==
Cheers for reply and clarification. The authors of these articles, who are they?  Also on my homepage I see users editing apparent established titled articles...are they the original authors?
Cheers,
Nim.

== Consistency ==
Good to see you back! Whilst I see your point to Grand Theft AJ regarding consistency, I'm not sure that we need to sit and rename images (there are more useful things to do). Images tend not to be re-used, so their name is not massively important, so long as it isn't misleading or misspelt. Categories are a better way to find an image, and if you want to find (say) a pic of a certain vehicle in a certain game, then it's going to be in the gallery on that vehicle's page, rather than trying to guess its filename. What benefit do you see from consistently-named images (apart from consistency for the sake of it)? If there is one, then by all means go for it, I'm just a little unsure atm. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 02:12, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
:That works for me. And of course it's great to see our heaviest contributor back. Hopefully the next GTA will bring back the fun element that maybe has been dumped a little in favour of realism. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 02:31, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
New staff would probably be a good idea - I'll look into it. As for edit count, there are 7,000 for me and 2,000 for gtabot, so lagging behind quite a bit. Keep it up! [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 02:44, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
:You may also be interested to know how well GTW is doing as a whole. In November we had 6 million page views, 300 thousand visitors, and 500 thousand visits. Not shabby at all. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 02:47, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
There are two things here. The completely pointless [[Special:MyHome]] can be turned off in user preferences, and you can go to [[Special:ToggleUserPage]] to turn your profile back into a normal wiki page (like mine). This is all per-person, but we could talk to wikia about disabling the features altogether. You'll notice that our URLs have changed to be simpler, which I like - http://gta.wikia.com/Cheetah (used to have /wiki/ in the middle).

== Clocktower ==
I'm new to wikis and to this wiki, but why did you remove the real-life picture of the clocktower building? Should I upload a different one?
== Missions in GTA Vice City ==
You should agree with me that a mission in any GTA game ''is'' a mission. So why do you automatically revert all edits about that category ? Why ?
I agree, Im sure that you have a good reason for it, but it took a long time for me to add them all and it is a relevent category. I would appreciate if you didn't revert anymore. I hope that you understand, I am adding the Mission category again. If you look at the category then you will see that there are ''many'' missions in there already that I didn't add. If you revert again then I will not change it back (I don't want to start an edit war). But I would appreciate it if you recognised a mission as a mission (or we wouldn't have the ''Missions in (game name)'' category would we?) Thanks. '''''[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]]''''' 06:42, December 19, 2009 (UTC)
EDIT: Whoops! I saw your reply on Loadingue's talk page. I understand now, sorry! I will try to remove the Mission category whenever I can. But I still think that we should keep the category itself as it lists the ''Missions in (Game Name)'' as sub-categorys. Once again sorry!
==Images==
I need to ask you, why did you delete my images of the Bitch 'n' Dog Food cans?--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 02:54, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
==[[Project:Staff]]==
Hi A-Dust, great job with this wiki! I was just wondering why you reverted my edit to this page? I had changed the link to janitors (which ceased to exist as of last year) to a link to VSTF (which is a new global group for Wikia). Thanks! [[User:Joeyaa|'''Joey''']] [[User_talk:Joeyaa|'''(talk)''']] 22:53, December 22, 2009 (UTC)
Hi I just joined this GTA wiki and I wanted to know how to add a Gripe to the mechanics gripes but I just dont seem to understand how to,I dont see any "Add Gripe" button or anything. Could you help?
== deleted pictures ==
Sorry, I am a new guy and I am not so good in English.
So I whant to now why my pictures was deleted from Candy Suxxx gallery.
What I've done wrong. Or maybe it's only for official arts...?
Dust, Mad Doggs managers name isnt Alan Crawford. If you payed attention to san andreas you'd know that its Scipio.
== Ranson (GTA III) ==
There is no such page, and since it should be considered part of S.A.M. the info should be written there.
== inapropriate user name ==
a user has created an acout that is innapropriate [[User:HuDaFuK|Hudafuck]]
:Boo fucking hoo, ya pussy. This is a site dedicated to one of the most violent and innapropriate games so I think we should be aloud to have such content. This may be a wiki, but quick acting so stuck up. You're acting like those faggots who work at the Majestic Hotel
== Ransom ==
True, but the difference between Ransom and Bomb Da Base Act 1 and No Money Mo Problems, is that it is Automatically seen During S.A.M., you can't not see Ransom after S.A.M., Bomb Da Base Act 1 is only a cutscene, like Fish In A Barrel, No Money, Mo' Problem leads up to something, so it isn't only a cutscene.
== Ransom ==
It should, who deleted Ranson's article anyways?
==Bosses Category==
It's just for antagonists, not for missions givers. So Little Jacob, Roman Bellic, Manny Escuela and Derrick McReary aren't in this category.
== WTF ==
Do you "high and mighty" moderators have fun in deleting people's hard work?
"Firstly", this is about Grand Theft Auto. Nothing civil about it.
"Secondly", I'm referring to The Mr. Bellic article. Give one reason to delete that.
"Thirdly", oh, I'm sorry. I suppose I shoud "put down my signature". MrNaku45 02:50, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
Sigh. It's a Wiki ABOUT GTA. Rockstar did not make violent games so that people could walk along, make a wiki about it, and act "civil". And if my article had no need, why should Mr. Lopez, or Miclia Bellic's articles matter? Exactly. MrNaku45 03:00, January 7, 2010 (UTC)
==Victor Vance Discussion goes on...==
Hey A-Dust, can I make a request that the page [[Talk:Victor Vance]] be protected or the discussions moved to a different page? Despite that fact that [[Rockstar Games]] confirmed Vic's death people are still debating over it. I think it would be a good Idea to protect the page for a while (or at least until this discussion wears off). '''''[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]]''''' 03:43, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
Ok then. Thanks for telling me. '''''[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]]''''' 23:32, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
== Profile editing  ==
hey i was wobndering i see people who have images of there favourite cars, games, and nationalities on there. How do i do that on my own page?
== GTA3 mission images ==
I have two comments on the recent images.
# It would be helpful to crank down the brightness to the middle mark through the graphics options, because the screenshots lack any shading.
# Is the screenshot naming format a little too vague?
- [[User:ZS|ZS]] 08:06, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
:Refer to [[Grand Theft Wiki talk:Consistency]]. We need to talk about this. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 17:54, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
== Regarding image renames ==
Mind if you let me deal with vehicle and location images? These batches are a bit more complicated to work with during renaming. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 11:35, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
== Edit on [[Tagging Up Turf]] and [[Deconstruction]] pages ==
Hi A-Dust
I just wondered why you have changed the two missions pages, [[Tagging Up Turf]] and [[Deconstruction]], so the box with previous, current and next mission(s) are removed. [[User:Fisk95|Fisk95]] 10:03, January 24, 2010 (UTC)
Hello.
I'm quite new to this editing stuff, so I'm just putting a excuse now in case I mess up.
I like this wiki alot, I'm gonna stick around.
I forgot to leave my name, oops.

Hi.
I'm planning on playing through GTA IV some time soon and I'll be making notes of when you can call Roman for random conversations(like the one I posted in the trivia section for Three Leaf Clover), and I'll post them in the respective sections.

== Talk page deletion ==
Why the hell do you keep deleting discussion pages on various articles? You stupid?
:It looks like [[Talk:Knife]] was correct to have been deleted, as gameplay discussions should go in the [[Forum]] not the article's discussion page. However, it would be good if you left a better edit summary on most of [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Special%3ALog&type=delete&user=A-Dust&page=&year=&month=-1 your deletions], as the reasons for some of them are not as obvious as they may be to you. Also some articles such as [[Sea Dragon]] are [[Special:WhatLinksHere/Sea_Dragon|linked to]], so be careful not just to create loads of red links (for someone else to try and make the page again later). Remember, deletion is an administrative tool not ''really'' a right, so when it's not completely obvious (ie spam) you need to be careful to make it obvious (just add "duplicate" or "unnecessary" or "doesnt belong here").<br>But with images, I'm not so sure it's that simple. Some are of course useless, duplicated or just plain crap - but when we have images that we don't necessarily ''need'', perhaps we should keep them to allow them to be used later? When I write articles, I look for images rather than take them myself, so only having the bare-minimum images on this site doesn't help. [[Special:UnusedFiles]] is a good place I look. Also it doesn't hurt to have a few extra pics in a vehicle gallery (or even a whole gallery subpage?). What do you think?
