	Hi. Thanks for contributing to GTW. If you disagree with someone else, please discuss it on the talk page of the article, rather than repeatedly reverting their edits. Referring to something as ''"Diaz's Gang"'' doesn't mean that is its name, it just means they know it as Diaz's gang (as opposed to someone else's gang). I have seen no recent evidence for the exact name of the gang, and this needs investigation before we repeatedly rename and move the pages around. If you can provide evidence, please explain it on [[Talk:Diaz Cartel]] and we'll move it. Thanks - [[~~w:c:gta:~~User:Gboyers\|Gboyers]] ([[~~:w:c:gta:~~User_talk:Gboyers\|?]]) 18:41, 13 April 2008 (UTC)		Hi. Thanks for contributing to GTW.

	::I don't mean to butt in, but I'm glad you feel that way about this wiki. I often see Wikipedia ridiculing the actions of editors, just because they aren't ''exactly'' in line with the admin's preferences. So long as we get the information in a readable format, it's fine. I agree in quality before quantity, but it's good that we don't obsess over every article (because we'd end up with about 5).

	Hey, Flesh! Thanks for the note. Yeah, I've been toying with the idea of running through the [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas\|GTA San Andreas]] missions and bringing all the pages in-line with the agreed-upon format. I have also been working on walkthroughs (with the ''invaluable'' assistance of [[User:GuildKnight\|GuildKnight]]), starting with [[Key to Her Heart]]. These will be heavily detailed, including images. I am planning on attaching the walkthroughs to the main mission pages. Let me know if you have any suggestions for anything I'm doing. And thanks for handling the other stuff, since I'm only an expert on GTA:SA and GTA:VC! '''[[User:Eganio\|Eganio]]<sup>''[[User talk:Eganio\|Talk]]''</sup>''' 20:20, 28 June 2008 (UTC)		Hey, Flesh!

	:Yup, that's the general idea I've been functioning under, i.e. cleaning up the mission pages that already exist, then moving on to create the missing ones. I started in [[Las Venturas]] because I happened to be at that point in the game on the PC (I just got it on PC last month), and was poised to capture images and provide detailed information as I was going through the missions. I will likely re-start again later in order to work on the early [[Los Santos]] and [[San Fierro]] missions.

	== Jetski ==		== Jetski ==

	Hey - just a quick note. You moved [[Jet Ski]] to [[Jetski]] by copying all the content into the new page, and overwriting the old page with a redirect. That is a messy way of moving pages, and also disconnects the content from the history (showing who wrote what, which we legally need to show) which makes it look like you wrote the page from scratch. Instead, you simply click the "Move" button at the top (which you have access to as a [[moderator]]) and move it to a new page, which will automatically copy the history, create a redirect, and updates any other redirects. I un-did your edits and have have moved the page for you. Let me know if you have any questions about that - [[~~w:c:gta:~~User:Gboyers\|Gboyers]] <sup>[[~~:w:c:gta:~~User_talk:Gboyers\|talk]]</sup> 19:54, 4 February 2009 (UTC)		Hey - just a quick note.

	When it says the page already exists, it gives you the option to delete the 'other' page. I now realise you don't have the permissions to do that, so you should ask an [[Administrator]] to do it (eg by adding the {{template\|move}} or {{template\|merge}} tags). After I moved the page, I also repeated your edits, and made a few more of my own. I was also going to remind you to try and split up big chunks of text (like [http://~~gta~~.~~wikia~~.com/index.php?title=Last_Stand&action=edit&section=1 this]) into smaller ones (like [http://~~gta~~.~~wikia~~.com/index.php?title=Claude&action=edit&section=1 this]), which just makes everything easier to read, and easier for people to find what they're looking for.

	== Gangs ==		== Gangs ==

	Hi, GTA4PC. Yeah, I agree that the [[Colombian Cartel]] is a very large entity, and certainly a major player in [[Grand Theft Auto III\|GTA III]]. Also, you're right: they are probably bigger than [[Diaz's Gang]] strictly speaking. However, I think Diaz's gang is ''more prominent'' in the [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City\|GTA Vice City]] storyline than the Colombians are in GTA III. Ricardo and his gang are a major impediment to [[Tommy Vercetti\|Tommy]] in [[Vice City]], and ''must'' be destroyed for the storyline to continue. How about this: let's use both to represent the ''major'' Latino gangs in the GTA series. Does that sound good? While I agree with including the Colombians, I think we also need to keep Diaz's gang at the top because of its importance to the GTA VC story. What do you think?

	== Gangs ==		== Gangs ==

	Hi, GTA4PC. Yeah, I agree that the [[Colombian Cartel]] is a very large entity, and certainly a major player in [[GTA III]]. Also, you're right: they are probably bigger than [[Diaz's Gang]] strictly speaking. However, I think Diaz's gang is ''more prominent'' in the [[GTA Vice City]] storyline than the Colombians are in GTA III. Ricardo and his gang are a major impediment to [[Tommy Vercetti\|Tommy]] in [[Vice City]], and ''must'' be destroyed for the storyline to continue. How about this: let's use both to represent the ''major'' Latino gangs in the GTA series. Does that sound good? While I agree with including the Colombians, I think we also need to keep Diaz's gang at the top because of its importance to the GTA VC story. What do you think?

	:Yup, that's the general idea I've been functioning under, i.e. cleaning up the mission pages that already exist, then moving on to create the missing ones. I started in [[Las Venturas]] because I happened to be at that point in the game on the PC (I just got it on PC last month), and was poised to capture images and provide detailed information as I was going through the missions. I will likely re-start again later in order to work on the early [[Los Santos]] and [[San Fierro]] missions.
