::::::::::: '''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 GTA 3. 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. The West Indian criminals in Chinatown Wars are also referred to as "Jamaicans," so the term "Yardie" never once comes up in any 4 of the games set within the current Liberty City.[[User:D16x|D16x]] 09:11, July 5, 2010 (UTC) | ::::::::::: 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 GTA 3.

::::::::::::Don't you have the Chinatown Wars PSP version? They are referred to as "Yardies" all the time. -- [[User:Master Sima Yi|Master Sima Yi]] 14:26, July 5, 2010 (UTC) | |||
