 :::Sure, why not. Putting things like that on the official Bully page is a good idea. --[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]] 10:17, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
-::::Thanks. I did consider adding the fact Jimmy Hopkins can be customized to look like [[Claude]] from GTA III, but i felt it was a little too trivial since it's not simply a pre-made outfit like [[Niko]]'s apparently is. SuperTron500 10:36, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

 :::::Chimpso, I'm not sure why exactly you want this stuff removed. The cars' cameo appearances in other games seems like interesting trivia to me (at least more than radio stations).--[[User:Thescarydude|Thescarydude]] 10:40, 28 July 2009 (UTC)

 I haven a question that has to do with the redirects. You said that some would be necessary such as the L.C.P.D to LCPD. Well would it be right to make a redirect page for the driving school, which would be Turning Tricks Advanced Motoring?--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 21:59, October 12, 2009 (UTC)
-:Redirects are useful for two reasons. Firstly, it's a lot easier to link to [[GTA London 1961]] than the full game title. Sometimes we go to the extreme and have shortcuts like [[TLAD]] to make life easier for editors. Secondly, someone might search for (or link to) a title that doesn't automatically take them to the right page. For example searching for [http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Search?search=advanced+motoring&go=1 "Advanced Motoring"] doesn't take you to the right page, and the search results are unhelpful, so a redirect to [[Driving School]] would be one way to fix that. However, just putting those words on the [[Driving School]] page would also work, and it's unlikely that many people would actively look fo "Turning Tricks Advanced Motoring". However [[L.C.P.D.]] is a good example because searching for that won't bring up a page on [[LCPD]] without a redirect (as we couldn't list every variation on the page). So in this case, a redirect isn't really necessary unless you think it makes life easier for someone along the way. If you think it does, then go ahead.

 ::This is not a really good question to ask me right now. My computer has crashed and is getting repaired and thats why I am not on much. But I agree with Gboyers. If it makes things easier then feel free to create a redirect. '''''[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]]''''' 23:02, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

 I have installed GTA San Andreas after I have installed new Windows XP by formatting, not updating. Then I started GTA San Andreas (original by Rockstar Games and without mods) that I have installed and when I try to load and the game crashes.
 But my GTA San Andreas with mods loading and it works perfectly. So, I must downloading fixes. This is strange, my original version by Rockstar Games of GTA SA is start loading and it didn't work and crashes, but my GTA SA with mods is start loading and it works perfectly. --[[User:Videogamer13|Videogamer13]]([[User talk:Videogamer13|talk]]) 09:16, September 5, 2010 (UTC).
+Yes, my game is legally copied, I have installed correctly. Then I tried to start load my saved game and it crashes. But my saved game data works and I didn't have mods. I have to download mods for modding GTA SA and then I start the game again and it works perfectly. Why it is strange? my GTA SA works perfectly with mods. --[[User:Videogamer13|Videogamer13]] 01:27, September 7, 2010 (UTC)
