:*As for the script page, I would suggest writing the names out in full, i.e. Niko Bellic instead of just Niko.

:Okay, so that's more than a few, but I'm currently writing a reflective piece of a presentation from last Tuesday, meaning I'm nitpicking. Well, just my suggestions. Also, if this is adopted, should the other mission articles be changed to this format? [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 23:51, 1 December 2008 (UTC)</div>

Thanks for the suggestions, the more people who help here, and so, the more people whose opinions we get we can get closer to making a perfect mission article to suit everyone. I'm just quickly responding to your points, as I got the email about your message hours ago and have just been too busy to react to it.
*I think that the single line that states the soul objective of the mission in the intro is a good idea, as people who maybe don't quite know if it's the page they're after can read the intro and know straight away, without reading the brief and possibly spoilers (if it's not the right page).
*I agree that the line "''Blow Your Cover is a <u>'''mission'''</u> in [[Grand Theft Auto IV]]''" informs people that this is a mission article and it will contain spoilers. I really never have added a spoiler warning to a mission page. The reason I did for the ''perfect mission'' is because I honestly forgot to when I created [[GTA IV Endings]], and Gboyers came along and added one.
*I thought about a reward section, and in fact, before I started on making the article I opened notepad and typed up just the headings for the sections I was going to have, and I had reward. I removed it from the plan when I realized that the infobox has a reward line, but it can easily be put in.
*I actually wanted to say exactly where in Bohan it begins, but I haven’t played any game for a few days to be able to find out the street and area. I will do it soon.
*If you read the discussion above you will see that Gboyers said to link to the video in case the embedded one doesn't work. As for embedding the video, what I was against was having two separate videos (Part 1 and Part 2) taking up more space. So I actually downloaded Part 1 and Part 2, converted them to AVI, used a video editing program to join them together and then I uploaded it myself. I know that it's linked to anyway, but I know for a fact that many people get to the external links section and stop reading because there's no more information. There will be nothing wrong with using a better video when it's uploaded (like you mentioned).
*The script page is something I will do next time I'm on here long enough. You're right about that.
*What mission footer did GK make? Can you give me a link?
*As for merging the brief and the walkthrough, I think the brief is meant to be a "brief", as in quick, section to explain the events of the mission, whereas the walkthrough tells you how to do it (this one is just an instructive version of the brief right now I know)
Now I think I will give Gboyers a chance to give his thoughts about your suggestions before I actually start editing.
