There have been recent image replacements that have been undone twice now, and I think it's time we discuss them rather than endlessly undoing and re-doing edits.  The images in flux are [[:Image:FlintCounty.jpg]] vs. [[:Image:Flint.jpg]]; [[:Image:BoneCounty.jpg]] vs. [[:Image:Bone county.jpg]]; and [[:Image:TierraRobada.jpg]] vs. [[:Image:Robada.jpg]].  [[User:Lioshenka|Lioshenka]] made a good point that [[Flint County]] is oftentimes regarded as "spooky" (e.g. as a source of [[Myths in GTA San Andreas]]), and perhaps capturing an image reflecting this aspect would be better than the "happy" one I captured, although I think [[:Image:Flint.jpg]] is too dark to see when it's a thumbnail.  As far as the [[Bone County]] image is concerned, I personally despise 360 degree panoramic shots, as I think they are very hard to follow with the eyes (in terms of recognizing landscape, etc.), so I would prefer the one I took.  And the [[Tierra Robada]] scenery I think is better represented by the image I took, although I like the fact that there is a structure in Lioshenka's version.  What do other editors think?  I think we need to come to a consensus on this rather than independently reverting each other's edits.  Thoughts?

Hey-hey good idea! :) I would rather roll back the Flint County image back to mine, I think it captured the mood quite good. Regarding the panorama image - I would feel sorry for that image to simply disappear. How about putting it on the Bone County page instead, underneath the article as well as the normal pic at the top??? And I don't really care about the Tierra Robada image, but I think it is important to capture both desert part and the "green" part of it - remember, Bayside Marina is in Tierra Robada as well!!! The image I had doesn't represent the area very well, but it has both desert and a bit of green meadow, while Eganio's image only has desert which makes it very similar to the Bone country. I want to hear your thoughts now! :) Cheers![[User:Lioshenka|Lioshenka]] 21:30, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Split

Can we split this into two articles like Liberty City? We should have San Andreas in GTA San Andreas and San Andreas in GTA 1, with this page just being a disambigutation and overview. Alternatively, this page could be entirely about the GTASA rendition with an alternative "see also" or "did you mean" link to San Andreas in GTA 1. Thoughts? Gboyers talk 21:23, 8 June 2008 (UTC)

I think splitting it into two pages would be good. San Andreas in GTA San Andreas and San Andreas in GTA 1 sound good to me. --GuildKnightTalk2me 22:23, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I concur. It's a little too ambiguous as it stands..."which San Andreas do you mean???" :-) EganioTalk 20:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Images

There have been recent image replacements that have been undone twice now, and I think it's time we discuss them rather than endlessly undoing and re-doing edits. The images in flux are Image:FlintCounty.jpg vs. Image:Flint.jpg; Image:BoneCounty.jpg vs. Image:Bone county.jpg; and Image:TierraRobada.jpg vs. Image:Robada.jpg. Lioshenka made a good point that Flint County is oftentimes regarded as "spooky" (e.g. as a source of Myths in GTA San Andreas), and perhaps capturing an image reflecting this aspect would be better than the "happy" one I captured, although I think Image:Flint.jpg is too dark to see when it's a thumbnail. As far as the Bone County image is concerned, I personally despise 360 degree panoramic shots, as I think they are very hard to follow with the eyes (in terms of recognizing landscape, etc.), so I would prefer the one I took. And the Tierra Robada scenery I think is better represented by the image I took, although I like the fact that there is a structure in Lioshenka's version. What do other editors think? I think we need to come to a consensus on this rather than independently reverting each other's edits. Thoughts? EganioTalk 20:45, 10 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey-hey good idea! :) I would rather roll back the Flint County image back to mine, I think it captured the mood quite good. Regarding the panorama image - I would feel sorry for that image to simply disappear. How about putting it on the Bone County page instead, underneath the article as well as the normal pic at the top???
