:yeah, welcome to the site A-Dust, and Good work with you're help around the Site. [[User:George|George]] 20:59, 8 May 2007 (BST) | |||
Hi A-Dust - good to see you helping around the place. Although I would just mention a couple of things. We don't need the spoiler tag every time there is a small explanation of who somebody is - it only really needs to be used for big plot extracts. Also, we don't have many (any?) articles about specific missions, so it's a bit pointless linking to them at this stage. Also, here we '''always''' refer to the original Grand Theft Auto game as [[Grand Theft Auto 1]] ([[Grand Theft Auto 1|GTA1]]) to avoid confusion - this may be technically wrong compared to Wikipedia and perhaps GTAW, but it's a lot simpler (and more consistent) to do it this way. Thanks again for your help - [[User:Xenon|Xenon]] ([[User talk:Xenon|?]]) 23:19, 7 May 2007 (BST) | |||
:The thing with lists are that they are made a lot easier using [[Categories]]. All pages about characters should be put in [[:Category:Characters]], so that page produces a big up-to-date alphabetical list. However, Categories are limited by that too. We are currently in the process of reworking [[Vehicles in GTA San Andreas]] to break it into sections (types of cars), which is something we don't do with [[:Category:Vehicles]]. Also, making loads of subcategories such as "Sports Cars in San Andreas" is too specific and is much more easily done in one page. I don't see any need for one list of all characters, but certainly one per game ([[Characters in GTA Vice City]] etc). Because that is only one game at a time, we can afford to put more detail in and even add pictures. Check [[Template:GTA]] for links to the pages we use for them.

== Thanks == | |||
Hi - I thought I would thank you for all your contributions to Grand Theft Wiki this week, and congratulate you on sussing out our system. You have got the hang of categories (such as [[:Category:Missions in GTA Liberty City Stories]]) and article structure ('''bold''' name etc) really well. It's great to have people around adding loads of content and expanding GTW's horizons. Thanks again, and I hope you're here for the long term :) - [[User:Xenon|Xenon]] ([[User talk:Xenon|?]]) 23:36, 9 May 2007 (BST) | |||
A couple of other things - can you please make sure that you do not link in <nowiki>==headers==</nowiki>. You should just link in the paragraph afterwards (eg "In GTA San Andreas..."). Also, "no known residents" sounds like nobody lives there - you should say "no specific residents" to indicate that we don't know anybody special that lives there. See [[User talk:Xenon#Stationary vs. Spawning|This]] also. Thanks - [[User:Xenon|Xenon]] ([[User talk:Xenon|?]]) 18:16, 10 May 2007 (BST) | |||
== Images == | |||
Please do not make an image on an article bigger the original uploaded image or else it will appear pixelated. Thanks, and keep up the good work! | |||

== Locations == | |||
Hi - when you're adding in a vehicle, could you just make sure that the names of the cities in the "locations" sections are only <nowiki>'''bold'''</nowiki>, instead of a <nowiki>===header===</nowiki>. See this [http://www.grandtheftwiki.com/index.php?title=Angel&diff=9464&oldid=9463 diff]. Thanks - [[User:Xenon|Xenon]] ([[User talk:Xenon|?]]) 15:58, 31 May 2007 (BST) | |||
== Image Uploads == | |||
Hey - The problem with the images you have tried to upload is that they contain an ampersand (&) that it doesn't recognise when you go back to it. Upload them with a simpler name. [[User:Xenon|Xenon]] ([[User talk:Xenon|?]]) 22:08, 1 June 2007 (BST) | |||
== Administrator == | |||
Hey - since you've been helping out GTW loads, I'm wondering if you fancy a promotion to Administrator? [[User:Xenon|Xenon]] ([[User talk:Xenon|?]]) 20:49, 4 October 2007 (BST) | |||
Sounds good. My contributions may slow a bit due Uni, but I'm usually on here a few times a day, so shouldn't be too much of a problem. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 21:02, 4 October 2007 (BST) | |||
