-You are the first person yet to ever revert any british retard spellings. Having both and both. Forget that. It needs to be consistent, and nice job, you reverted all my other mistakes. Go make a british wikia if it bothers you so bad, idiot. --[[User:Tommy-Vercetti|Tommy-Vercetti]] ([[User talk:Tommy-Vercetti|talk]]) 21:30, 1 February 2012 (UTC)

-I'm a writer, and if you think I would write anything of mine with combination region spellings solely to be PC or something, you're mistaken. I haven't seen anyone complain about my changing of british spellings for over a year now. Sorry, but I think it's been decided that we use american spellings. Using both makes it look tacky and literally amateurish; that's what I want to change. I want to make this site better than the stupid wikia and to look like a professional wikipedia. It needs a lot of work still, but every page I see of that, I work on it. --[[User:Tommy-Vercetti|Tommy-Vercetti]] ([[User talk:Tommy-Vercetti|talk]]) 21:43, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
 == Images Problem ==
 Sometimes when you upload a new version of an image, it doesn't register right away. Put your mouse on the ▼ button next to "View history", and click "purge". <span style="font-family:calibri; text-shadow: black 0 4px 4px; color:080808;">[[User:Silver Infernus|Silver Infernus]] <sup>[[User talk:Silver Infernus|talk]]</sup></span> 00:52, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
+== Downloading ==
+I removed the term 'downloading Windows' on the PC and Mac pages because that implied that users should illegally download a copy of Windows. Whilst some people do that, it's not something we support here, and definitely not something we want to be encouraging.

+== Re: Location ==
+I think [[Template:Location]] is pretty good. I think it works best when used in conjunction with a map. My only real suggestion would be for the actual maps - a thin yellow line is not visible enough when used in a thumbnail. The area should be coloured in, like [[:File:SanAndreas-GTASA-map-locations.jpg]]. Another point would be that there's no harm having multiple links to the same page. I know Wikipedia prefers only the first link to each page to work, but I think it makes much more sense to allow people to click on the word when they read it, than have to scroll up to find an earlier reference.
+If you're struggling putting some points onto the template, then you have two options:
+*Allow multiple entries into each place, so you might have |south=Airport, Verdant Bluffs, The Strip
+*Modify the template to allow a colspan/rowspan that lets an area take up BOTH the south+southeast boxes
+That second one is quite complicated (with loads of IFs) but I can help out. Lastly, you should write documentation for the template so that other people know how to use it. [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 07:59, 24 April 2012 (UTC)
+== Re: Help Page ==
+Since your question was about a particular page, I've moved it to [[Talk:Help]] so more people can answer it, and it's always there for future editors of that page to see. [[User:Gboyers|gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 07:24, 26 April 2012 (UTC)
+== Re: Trusted User Status ==
+You are right - all user permissions on the site had been accidentally lost. This sometimes happens when we upgrade or alter our software. I've restored most of the permissions manually - please let me know if you can see anyone you think I've forgotten!
