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!

== Deletion ==


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. [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 10:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

== Cleanup Project ==
== Cleanup Project ==


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 - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 20:34, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

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". My reasoning for suggesting this is two-fold:

*Firstly: The AR-15 is a semi-automatic civilian sporting rifle ''derived from'' the M16 series long guns used by the US military.

That explosion myth isn't a myth, there is an explosion. GTAFANs edits are baseless too if mine are though.

Anyway, as both endings are considered canon until Rockstar say one. Remember how Timur says Dimitri has been killed in Departure Time, why would he say this after Pegorino is killed on happiness island. I played Out of comission and there is a slight fireball in the sky, go watch the revenge ending on youtube and you'll see.

I suppose we could use Areas instead of Districts. We have go to change all the categories if we did. --[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] <sup>[[User talk:Gta-mysteries|Talk]]</sup> 05:07, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
:Areas are the more accurate term. You would not call a place like [[Back o Beyond]] a district. If we did change however, we could just get [[User:Gtabot|Gtabot]] to change them all for us. '''''[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]]''''' ([[User Talk:Chimpso|Talk]]) 05:18, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
== Ballas gang were eliminated ==
When I claim all of the turfs, the Grove Street Families dominated all turfs around Los Santos. And the Ballas has been eliminated and the player's turf is no longer under attack. Umm....Now I have a secret that the Grove Street members using the [[Patriot]] and [[SWAT Tank]] after the Ballas has been terminated. --[[User:Videogamer13|Videogamer13]] 03:20, September 12, 2010 (UTC)

I just talk about how I terminate the [[Ballas]] gang and claim all of the turfs and I got secrets that [[Grove Street Families|GSF]] members using Patriots and SWAT tanks. I think this is bug. --[[User:Videogamer13|Videogamer13]] 05:03, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
