==Undoing things==
I undo things becuse they are not that well written. I mean, i wrote a full explanation for the diamonds page and some idiot messed it it up so i just undid it to make it right again. It has been left alone now, but some guy keeps messing about with the Heroin page, and I wrote everything on that page, but some guy is messing that up too so im just making it right. Basoically, i am in no way trying to put false info or anything in the wiki ok.

Yes OK, i was wrong there, but i did that because i wrote a description and some fool deleted it for a really crappy written one. I didnt want to re-write the whole thing immediatley so i put that. But apart from that and the CW stuff which are both now over, i havent done anything like vandalise it. I just try to make pages sound better. If it is a sorry u are after ok. Sorry.
== About edit of vice city stories... ==
Hey I just wanted to know if it was okay to edit the VCS article, because I noticed that it said it is Victor Vance in the beginning of Vice City. I just wanted to point out that some fans think it is Pete not Vic. If you don't like the change let me know.[[User:Losdell504|Losdell504]] 03:29, August 6, 2010 (UTC)Losdell504[[User:Losdell504|Losdell504]] 03:29, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

== WHY WAS THE PAGE "Tallest Buildings in GTA: san andreas" DELETED?! ==
Why was the page "Tallest Buildings in GTA San andreas" deleted? why got it deleted?!!
== Matter with top speed ==
On the page of Roman's Taxi, it says '' Performance and handling-wise, Roman's Taxi is heavier than the Esperanto ( 1700 kg to the Esperanto's 1600 kg ) but has a significantly greater top speed (''' 295 km/h to the Esperanto's 218 km/h''' )
On the page of Comet, it says ''The GTA IV rendition of the '''Comet is the fastest car in the game, reaching a top speed of 175 km/h'''''
How come?
==Reply==
Yep, thats one of them. I would join you, but I'm a bit busy playing my new 360 (finally got one). '''''[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]]''''' ([[User Talk:Chimpso|Talk]]) 07:14, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
== Categorisation ==
Hey. I'm not sure what the point of [[:Category:Redirects]] is - surely everything we need is at [[Special:ListRedirects]]? The same for you removing all the redirects from pages, like links to [[Grand Theft Auto|GTA]]. Just seems like extra work for no reason that makes pages more complicated (and more difficult for newbie editors to use). I think a link to <nowiki>[[Grand Theft Auto|GTA]]</nowiki> is a useful short way to link, no need to expand it to <nowiki>[[Grand Theft Auto|GTA Games]]</nowiki> every time.  Also, if you re-write every redirect link, then it's going to look like [[Special:WhatLinksHere/GTA|no pages link here]] and then that redirect is going to get deleted, when in fact it's very useful (for linking & searching). Redirects are useful, I don't see any need to get rid of them. What do you think? [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 10:58, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
:There's nothing really wrong with Category:Redirects, but if you're saying that every redirect must be in that category, then that's a lot of work that someone has to do every few weeks forever. I can understand that you may think [[Grand Theft Auto|GTA]] is lazy for an experienced editor, but if it's shorter, easier and it works, there isn't really a problem? Don't forget that we use GTA everywhere, so it's not as if it's a lazy shortcut, it's a very valid abbreviation. I'd say [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|SA]] was lazy, but again it's useful to have the redirect for quick searching and informal linking (having to type the full thing 1000 times in a big page is just frustrating). As for normal users, they are probably going to use abbreviations a lot more, so they are very useful. My concern was that administrators delete unused redirects (that's our job), and there are lots of useful redirects that now show up as "unused" which should not be deleted.
:Why should misspellings be deleted? There are some common ones that people misspell, ones that are different in British/American English, and if they get the wrong capitalisation or miss out an apostrophe/hyphen/space, they wouldn't find the page. This counts both for searching and for linking in articles. I can understand people adding a link to the article then if it's a red link they might try again, but if they can't figure out what the right page is then they're just not going to bother.
:My point is that we need a rule, or guideline, that everyone can follow. You probably have your own rule for it, as do I, and these need to be the same, and need to be communicated to everyone. As I see it, there are these types of valid redirect:
#Genuine abbreviation/acronym ([[Grand Theft Auto|GTA]])
#Genuine alternative name ([[Sean Johnson]])
#Common misspelling or punctuation ([[Pay 'n' Spray|Pay n Spray]])
#Pages that have moved ([[Grand Theft Wiki]]
#Lazy shortcuts ([[CT]] or [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|SA]])
:Pages that link to #2, #3, #4 and #5 could/should be fixed, but I think links to #1 can stay. However, ALL of these should stay as redirects, for the purpose of searching. I use the lazy shortcuts to policy/template pages a lot. Anything other than this can probably be deleted, like [[Forelli Mafia-Family]]. If we can decide on a rule like this, then everyone will be on the same page (and we won't end up with unused redirects being deleted). Maybe we could categorise redirects according to their purpose? Or at least separate off the lazy ones so they can be kept separate? What do you think? [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 11:25, August 8, 2010 (UTC)
== Problem with getting 100% on The Lost and Dammed ==

==Ghawar Explosion==
Ok, just play Out of Commission, and keep your eye in the sky behind Niko at all times, when Niko is just talking to Jimmy, u can see the explosion in the sky way in the distance, actually it's just as easy to see in the daytime aswell cos i just played it through when it was day and could see it just as much. I am not joking here, seriously, if u keep looking behind Niko when he is walking left to right insulting Jimmy, u will see the explosion.
Cool, okay, but just remember; Eyes in the Sky. dont watch Niko or the cutscene, just look behind in the sky when Niko is pacing left and right.
Did u play out of commission and see the explosion?

Did you know, in GTA San Andreas, why the Andromada is not available on any airport on outside the mission in game?......--[[User:Videogamer13|Videogamer13]]([[User talk:Videogamer13|'''talk''']]). August 11, 2010.
I know about the Andromada, it cannot be obtained outside the mission, but only during the mission Stowaway and A Home in The Hills. I know how to spawn it, I think I need to use a Carspawner tool. --[[User:Videogamer13|Videogamer13]]([[User talk:Videogamer13|'''talk''']]). August 12, 2010.

Hi, I was wondering that the Jester from GTA San Andreas looks like the Turismo from the GTA IV Era. the back design looks almost the same and so do the headlights, and the body design. I'm sure this could be a coincidence. If you compare the Jester from GTA San Andreas and the Turismo from GTA IV you might see that they both look the same.[[User:GTAFreak15|GTAFreak15]] 05:19, August 12, 2010 (UTC)
