hi, I made this logo | hi, I made this logo, 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) | :I have to say, I like the new logo better than the old one.

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.

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 [[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) | Hi, A-Dust.

: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.

: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 | |||

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. | 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) | |||

== 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? | |||

: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. | |||

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?
