User talk:A-Dust/archive

Just wanted to give you a belated welcome to the Grand Theft Auto wiki and thanks for all the help. The articles look great --Thai420^{Talk to me!} 01:53, 18 September 2006 (UTC)

It's pretty much just us around here, every couple of days somebody might stop by and edit and article or two but thats about it. --Thai420^{Talk to me!} 03:01, 19 September 2006 (UTC)

Images

Hey A-Dust. I see you have a list of images you've uploaded. If you want to include a link to the image, without it actually showing, use the following code:

[[:Image:Gta.png]]

This will create: Image:Gta.png

Hi. I just wanted to pop in and say I'm sorry for messing a few articles up recently...I'll abide by the rules in the future. --Synthetic Socks 23:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)

My apology just in case...

I would like to apologize, if any, for my edits to those unsourced information that were added by this user just in case. I'm a stickler for better organization, grammar, and spelling so I'm simply doing a service for others, even in this case. ;D --Legion 02:02, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Houston, we have a problem....

Those vandalized articles you mentioned at Thai420's user talk page... I categorized them as candidate for deletion. Now another user with IP, though different from that of vandal but I don't know if this is same guy or not... *shrugs*, came and undone those action I took. I had to revert them. Now this user undone it again. I already left him/her a message asking him to refrain from blanking them out.... :/ --Legion 13:58, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

Administrators

Thanks for the heads up, I've been really busy lately and haven't had much of a chance to get on here. I've decided to make you and Chief of Staff sysop so you have administrators options. I hope this helps if theres anything else you need feel free to e-mail me Thai420^{Talk to me!} 18:59, 3 May 2007 (UTC)

The Wiki Logo

hi, I made this logo

File:GTA-Wiki.png

, no idea if you like it, but I thought it would work well to replace your current wiki logo . anyway, cheers! -- 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.) Zaibatsu 16:19, 15 May 2007 (UTC)

GTW Merge

Hi There, Wanted to let you know that Grand Theft Wiki is merging with gta.wikia.com. Your admin privilege will not change, although you may want to get more involved now that there is a larger community. Read more Here angies<staff /> (talk) 18:48, 13 December 2007 (UTC)

Cleanup of Merged Articles

Hey - thanks for helping out at this critical point of the merge of the two wikis. I'd just like to point out that merging the content of the two pages is preferable to just deleting the one at Project:Merge. If we slap the two pages together then get rid of the duplicate then we can strip it down into a single good article slowly. Not complaining, just asking you to make sure you dont get rid of anything we might want to keep. Thanks again - Gboyers (?) 00:24, 24 December 2007 (UTC) (previously User:Xenon)

Thank you

¿GTA Revolution + GTA Wikis?

Thanks for contact with us. We have apologised for have been late so much in answering your request. We are interested in the affiliation, but before we want to know how you want to do it and what you are looking from us.

If you find more useful, you can contact with me by my personal mail, cubanvercetti@gmail.com . We are ready to attend to any proposition.

Sincerely, --_CuBaN_VeRcEttI_ 20:02, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

I'd like to hear what GTA Revolution can offer GTW that we don't already have. We have a massive databank of information and images, and most GTA screenshots fall under Rockstar's copyright rather than the person who took it. We already have every logo and boxart that we need. GTAR doesn't have any information/lists up about GTA IV yet, and I don't see anything to do with the other games that we don't already have, and the language barrier would make content sharing difficult.
I'm not saying no, I'm just asking how we would benefit. I am very much open to the idea of affiliation - our relationship with The GTA Place was instrumental in getting GTW off the ground, and the pre-merge relationship between Grand Theft Wiki and the old en.gta.wikia.com was equally useful. What can GTARevolution bring to the table? Gboyers (?) 23:35, 4 March 2008 (UTC)

If it's just a collection of screenshots, we may as well take them ourselves. We have dozens of active members who own each GTA game, and I expect a large number will own GTA IV very shortly. Normal screenshots are free to re-use anyway, as they fall under Rockstar's copyright (not the person who took the screenshot). Other sites can re-use our screenshots the same as we can re-use theirs, without the need for a partnership. Special artistic screenshots or ones showing copyrighted things will require permission. Only if we have a massive shortage of images, then we can look for a partnership like this, I simply don't think we would benefit from it at all.
One good thing to do would be to make a category and template for pages without images, then we can start actively finding images and taking screenshots to fill the void. Gboyers (?) 12:34, 5 March 2008 (UTC)

I'm not saying not ever, I just haven't seen a good reason to affiliate yet. Images is pointless because we can share them anyway (our licence lets them use our images and text so long as they say where it came from). It would perhaps be more useful for ES: to have an affiliation with a Spanish site. Walkthroughs and lists are more what we would be wanting to obtain from other sites. You're our 2nd heaviest-contributing member, what do you think? Gboyers (?) 14:18, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Username Merge

Hey. At last they got round to merging your GTW user account (User:GTW-A-Dust) into this one, which means you now show up as having more edits than me ... You can merge your old user page with your real one, then we can redirect your old pages to your real ones. Use the button on your main page (User:A-Dust) to switch between whether to show your Wiki profile or Social profile. Hope that helps, and thanks again for alllllll your help - Gboyers (?) 22:57, 8 May 2008 (UTC)

Hello and question

Hi, A-Dust. I've been editing here for a small while, and have noticed and admired your contributions. I would like to ask you a question, if I may: how were the Stationary Vehicles determined in the Doherty article? I am trying to expand the Calton Heights article (a current pet project), and was wondering what constitutes a stationary vehicle, since the vehicle types seem to change in every spawn point. Are there some that never vary, and if so, how do I find out which ones without periodically checking every spawn point? Eganio^Talk 09:53, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for the congrats! Let's hope I keep up my (hopefully) good work so I can move from probationary to full sysop! Anyway, thanks very much for the suggestions...I will check them out. Along those lines, I think I found an Elegy in Calton Heights that always seems to spawn as such, but I will verify with the sites you suggested. Thanks again, and happy editing! :-) Eganio^Talk 22:57, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
