:Is there any evidence for the existence of Niko's gloves? He isn't wearing any in any of the trailers, and I don't think any shops sell them. It's silly to assume such a thing just because of this hand motion, which isn't exactly precise, can be easily misinterpreted. There are images of the sniper [http://www.g4g.it/phpnews/images/GTA4_Behind_Enemy_lines_trailer_01.jpg here] and [http://us.movies1.yimg.com/movies.yahoo.com/images/hv/photo/movie_pix/twentieth_century_fox/behind_enemy_lines/vladimir_mashkov/enemy4.jpg here]. I do see a resemblance, possibly a strong one. I think gloves would be a step too far though - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] ([[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|?]]) 22:41, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

There is MAJOR evidence to the gloves. First of all, he is wearing them on the disc. Second, it shows them on the back of the case, the picture where he is commiting grand theft auto.--[[User:Canadian Reject|Canadian Reject]] 12:20, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

::Hey guys im just going to add that the image searches for Niko Bellic on Google all come up with the same guy from Behind Enemy Lines so i guess thats where Rockstar got their ideas from. Maybe we should look out for other characters that have come from movies.--[[User:Deadeye...|Deadeye...]] 18:01, 26 May 2008 (UTC)

::I believe it was added because it's one of the last things said about Niko in the game, and so could be a springing board for "GTAIV-era" games. I don't think there's any harm in keeping it there. --[[:w:c:gta:User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]<sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:GuildKnight|Talk2me]]</sup> 02:49, 17 January 2009 (UTC)

About the name Niko, Niko is not real Serbian name. Niko CAN be a nickname for Nikola or Nikolaj (Nikolai), but Niko is also a real name.

Rockstar made a big mistake with that surname and with the guy who gave voice to Niko, because accents are totally wrong and turns out that Niko speaks English better than his own language (Serbian).

For example (second mission) (I will use capital letters which are emphased) : "Janitor. Of course." -> "ČIstač, narAvno." It shoul be pronounced "ČistAč, nAravno."

Cleaned up the 'Goof' section, and renamed it 'Naming and language errors', which I think gets the message across plainly. [[User:Samadriel|Samadriel]] 09:41, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

:Incidentally, I think Rockstar really did make a half-arsed effort on the linguistic side; part of the mispronunciation can be put down to how badly voice-acting is directed and managed in the games industry, but still, it's something that could've been sorted; and the actual naming would've been easy as pie to get right, but... nope! So I think it's fair to call them errors. I chose not to explicitly call it an 'error' that Niko has a Croatian name (as Rockstar may have meant it to suggest his dad was Croatian or suchlike). I find that a bit doubtful though, I'm sure Niko would've had an even ''worse'' wartime experience if he'd been half-Croatian. [[User:Samadriel|Samadriel]] 09:54, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Nobody would be "NI'''T'''KO" in Croatian, so that s wrong.
