Hi, thanks for the work on [[A History of Liberty City]]. Just a little tip, Wikipedia links are great for saying that [[Liberty City]] is based on [[wp:New York City|New York City]], because it is obvious that it is a direct link to NYC. However, linking to a Wikipedia page about a real world person, when the name given in the article is an in-game person, I don't know if I agree with that. If you were to create new articles for those characters, link to them, and IN THE ARTICLE say [[Lazlow]] is based on [[wp:Lazlow Jones|Lazlow Jones]], then I think that would be better as opposed to [[wp:Lazlow Jones|lazlow]] is ... (directly to the real world person), though other staff may disagree. Thanks!

Hi there. Could I just recommend that you use {{template|prod}} to propose pages for deletion (often with some discussion), rather than {{template|delete}}, which is only used in urgent & obvious cases of vandalism or spam. This helps us keep track of everything properly, and also gives people the chance to discuss things before a staff member (or vigilante) comes along and acts. Good work on cleaning stuff up though, so keep it up. [[ | Hi there.

Hi Spaceeinstein . As part of our first [[Project:Cleanup Projects|Cleanup Project]], I have assigned some tasks to [[staff]] members. This way, all the tasks get done, not just the obvious ones. Could you have a go at [[Special:LonelyPages]] (pages with no links '''to''' them) and try and fix as many as possible? This may consist of adding relevant links to other pages, or marking duplicate/unnecessary pages for deletion. Doing as many as you feel you can would be great. Just ask if you have any questions, or read the [[Project:Cleanup Projects|project page]]. Also, could you click on [[Special:ToggleUserPage|this link]] twice to get rid of your red username? Thanks - [[ | Hi Spaceeinstein . As part of our first [[Project:Cleanup Projects|Cleanup Project]], I have assigned some tasks to [[staff]] members.

I spoke of this on the talk page, but no one has replied so I'll bring it here. The [[AR-15]] page should be renamed "M16 Variants".
