::::::::::: 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?

::::::::::::No, I have the original Nintendo DS version. I also used GameFAQs as a 3rd party reference, on top of my first hand experience. There's alot of debate over this, and I agree that "Jamaicans" just sounds wrong, and "Yardies" can create some continuity confusion. It's of my humble opinion that they should be referred to as "West Indian criminal gangs," and the reason being is, I personally think the Russian Mafia page looks like trash.[[User:D16x|D16x]] 18:57, July 5, 2010 (UTC) | |||
