What do folks think of renaming this article [[State of San Andreas]]? We could then change [[San Andreas in GTA 1]] to [[City of San Andreas]]. The current names seem a little cumbersome to me. Thoughts? '''[[User:Eganio|Eganio]]<sup>''[[User talk:Eganio|Talk]]''</sup>''' 03:56, 4 September 2008 (UTC) | What do folks think of renaming this article [[State of San Andreas]]?

:That ''could'' work! I'm the one that suggested making it like this when this page was just called [[San Andreas]] and there was the other article for [[San Andreas in GTA 1]]. The reason I suggested like this is because that's how the other cities are set out. eg. [[Liberty City in GTA 1]], [[Liberty City in GTA III]]/[[Liberty City in GTA Liberty City Stories|Liberty City Stories]], [[Liberty City in GTA IV]], [[Vice City in GTA 1]], [[Vice City in GTA Vice City]]. What does everyone else think about [[user:Eganio|Eganio's]] proposal?

::I didn't like the idea at first, because it doesn't follow the standard rule of naming things with their real name, and the preference for keeping names short. However I think it does a good job of explaining what the page is about - "San Andreas" is still confusing (no matter how often you explain the difference). I also think City and State is a good distinction, but it needs to be made massively clear what the difference is (with a disambig). Go for it.

: | :::Well, I too was apprehensive at first, owing to a presumed disruption in naming consistency. However, given that all other locations in [[GTA]] games that have reappeared are invariably cities in all their iterations, I thought this case warranted special consideration, since one version is a city, while the other is an entire state. This provides us the opportunity of using shorter names to distinguish between the two. And my apologies to [[User:Biggest gta fan ever|Biggest gta fan ever]] for stealing any of your thunder! Maybe I should read the old discussions more carefully! ;-) '''[[User:Eganio|Eganio]]<sup>''[[User talk:Eganio|Talk]]''</sup>''' 18:05, 8 September 2008 (UTC) | ||

::::Don't apologize, I simply went by consistency before, if this page does deserve special conditions, we should go with it.

Why doesn't anyone mention the fact that there is a place in California called "San Andreas"? Seriously, it's a real town. Google "San Andreas Fault", if you don't believe me.
