Sandbox Impressions
I like this, it's good. However, on looking at it, I don't think the images (in the Districts tables) are useful (because they're so small) - they force the table to take up a lot of space and its harder to see just the names of the districts. I think we could meet halfway and have extended bullets, such as:
- Atlantic Quays - A district to southeast of Portland Island comprised mainly of warehouses and piers.
- Callahan Point - An undeveloped district to the southwest of Portland Island
This would take up less space, and still be more informative than the current bulleted lists. For more details, the full table (with pictures) should go onto Districts in Liberty City (as opposed to "Boroughs" and "Neighborhoods" used for GTA IV). The list of residents is also pretty massive (and thus not massively useful) - a short list of notable residents (gang dons and other main characters) would be good, along with a link to a list or category of Liberty City residents. I also think the links to Liberty City in GTA 1 and Liberty City in GTA IV need to be much more prominent (even a disambig at the top?). What do you think? Gboyers talk 16:47, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
- I included images of each district to give the user a visual aid in picturing the district. Your use of description, in my opinion, does nothing to the user as it gives no actual image and is just a bland description. The idea for the images being small is so that there is an image, which can then be clicked to take the user to a bigger image. Either way, I agree that there needs to be more information about each district, as just a name gives you absolutely nothing. Also, boroughs are used in the GTA III Era LC (being Portland Island, Staunton Island and Shoreside Vale).
- As for the list of residents, I was thinking of splitting the list into four: one for residents of Portland, one for residents of Staunton, one for residents of Shoreside and one where the actual location is unknown. The idea of listing each character, however, is to give them more exposure, as the majority are only listed in a few places (Liberty Tree article, Characters by Surname articles and/or character categories). Links at the top of the page for the GTA 1 and IV renditions is a good idea. I'll edit that into the page. A-Dust 18:42, 13 February 2009 (UTC)
