User talk:Mcanmoocanu


Hello and request

Hi there. I remember you from Wikipedia! I hope you're finding this site as friendly and fun as I am. Anyway, I noticed that you have a great number of nice images from GTA:VC. I was wondering if you might have any for GTA:SA, or might be able to obtain some for me. I am working on bringing all the GTA:SA info up to snuff, and would greatly appreciate some nice images for the articles I'm creating! I would include my own, but only have the game on PS2. Thanks, and happy editing! EganioTalk 02:44, 12 May 2008 (UTC)

What kind of images i just uploaded a crap load of San Andreas images and i dont know if there what your looking for. Mcanmoocanu

Request

Hi, and welcome to Grand Theft Wiki! I hope you're enjoying all that we have to offer. Your hard work is definitely appreciated. I would, however, like to request that you use the edit summary below the edit window to explain briefly what you're doing and why. Had I not been watching the page and known you added the information yourself, this edit would seem very suspicious, since it's removing content without explaining why. Even in this case, it would be nice to know why you added/removed content. Anyway, thanks for your efforts but most importantly, have fun! --GuildKnightTalk2me 01:57, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

I put that there, i just thought who need it Mcanmoocanu
Sorry for butting in, but I kinda liked it. It linked to other articles on Los Santos, which I thought was a nice touch...just my two cents'. :-) EganioTalk 03:01, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
So what your saying is you want it back Mcanmoocanu
Just expressing my opinion, is all. It's up to whoever is editing the page, and what he/she thinks looks best. I am all for creating tables with links to other articles, etc., but it's totally up to you how to contribute to the article. :-) EganioTalk 05:39, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

(sodomize the colons!) I agree, I liked having that info there; however, the point of my comment was to request that you use the edit summary to explain what you're doing and why. If you don't mind, will you please start doing that? --GuildKnightTalk2me 12:25, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

Okay, smart guy, you like getting smart with people, but i'm gonna keep my cool with you, for now. Mcanmoocanu

Calm down people. He's just saying fill in the Summary box when you make an edit. It helps explain what you've done and why, and prevents any confusion. This is especially useful when you remove something, or change a page a lot. That's fair enough, right? Gboyers (?) 20:56, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Hi, everyone. Mcanmoocanu, I hope you're not feeling ganged up on here! This is something we ask all editors to do, because it really does make things a lot easier for everyone involved. And believe me, you're not the only one who's been asked. I had to be reminded to use the summary as well!  :-D Besides, it helps pinpoint particular edits you've made when they have summaries to the right of them on the edit list pages...just makes life a lot easier!

Okay. Mcanmoocanu

Southside Hoods

Hi, Mcanmoocanu. May I ask why you removed the gang infobox on the Southside Hoods article? I'm puzzled... EganioTalk 23:06, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

The image that was there looked like crap in it, it looked to big, no good info was on it. Mcanmoocanu
I do agree that the image didn't look particularly good as big as it was...perhaps re-sizing it smaller would help. I did so with a few images in gang infoboxes, and I think the older screenshots from GTA III look good smaller (see the Uptown Yardies, for example). If you are seeking to put a new image in, then I can understand, but information can be added to the infobox, and the image can be re-sized smaller. I still think it will look good if we just try to tweak it. Personally, I'd prefer this to outright deletion of the infobox. What do you think? EganioTalk 02:33, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
I dont know how Mcanmoocanu
Well, that's what I and the other SysOps are here for!  :-) The way I learned was by rote: I just went to a really good gang article (such as Grove Street Families) and just did what the editors did there, i.e. I just used their categorizations in other gang infoboxes. I eventually just learned what the categories are called, and what to put in them! As far as re-sizing images, just put the number of pixels you want it to be uner the "size" category. How about this: I'll go back to the Southside Hoods article and change things accordingly. Then, just go in and click "Edit this page" to see the formatting, etc. How's that sound? EganioTalk 02:57, 19 May 2008 (UTC)
Well, your way 2 negative, i know how to do that of course, i been doing it on Wikipedia for a few years now, i just dont know how to change the size of the image in the gang box itself. Mcanmoocanu
OK, I restored the gang box, added some info to it, and re-sized the image. Tell me what you think of the article now. EganioTalk 03:17, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

Liberty Tree articles

Please do not add the Liberty Tree logo to the pages. It is unnecessary and serves to take up more space. Thanks. A-Dust 23:24, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

i dont need your shit. Mcanmoocanu
Mcanmoocanu: if you disagree with him, say so and discuss which is better. Don't just say stuff like that, cos it doesn't help anything. A-Dust: if you absolutely disagree on something like this (which is a matter of opinion), discuss it with him. Don't just say he's wrong and you're right.
Personally, Laying articles out like this is best. The Liberty Tree logo is only 200px wide, and floated to the right so it's out the way. Instead of having a small image centred, float it to the left so that you don't waste a massive amount of space. Rearranging the images doesn't change the meaning of the article, so it doesn't have to exactly replicate the article, especially since you have the read link just below it.
Also with titles, just the main title is all you need for the page name, not the subtitle as well. If you disagree, discuss it FIRST. Gboyers (?) 23:51, 18 May 2008 (UTC)
