Quotes in article title
"No need for quotes in the name, is there?"
Yes there is; it's how the outfit is referred by the game! I'm willing to accept the ridiculous capitalization policy (even if it clearly goes against the lower case spelling of some of the outfits in GTALCS), but I will not allow anymore alterations that complicate linking to this article and waste my friggin editing time. - ZS (talk|edits) 01:09, 9 November 2012 (UTC)
