::::::::::: '''Jamaican Yardies''' would be a bit silly; the whole point of [[wp:Yardies|Yardies]] is that they come from Jamaica - it would be like saying "Chinese Triads". How about the '''Broker Yardies'''? I know it doesn't have much of a ring to it, but it's the best I can come up with and it distinguishes them from the [[Uptown Yardies|other Yardies]]. --[[User:Bluesboyjr|Bluesboyjr]] 15:28, May 18, 2010 (UTC) | ::::::::::: '''Jamaican Yardies''' would be a bit silly; the whole point of [[wp:Yardies|Yardies]] is that they come from Jamaica - it would be like saying "Chinese Triads".

::::::::::: Yardies in general is an incorrect term for the West Indian criminal gangs that appear in GTA4, simply because in the main games they're called West Indian criminal gangs, and never once referred to as "The Yardies" outside of Chinatown Wars. The entire 5 families are referred to as "The Mob," and the Irish Mob is referred to as "Irish American Killers," while all the assorted African American gangs are just called "African Americans." I am strongly against that move suggestion for one reason, and one reason alone. The Yardies in GTAIII are a seperate entity. | |||
