Categorisation isn't a game, and we gain nothing by having dozens of categories for the same thing.

I think I see how you do it. It confused me for a minute, because on UESP we use a separate namespace for each game. Well, I don't know much about any other games, so you might have to tag along behind me and disambig pages that would have the same name in another game (sorry). But I'd love to tackle these pages. And UESP uses a quest summary template, so the infobox mission template will be easy for me to get used to. By the way, are British spellings preferred on this wiki (i.e. "armour" instead of "armor")? --[[User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]] 03:12, 31 December 2007 (UTC) | I think I see how you do it.

:I'm British, so I always write with British spellings. I appreciate the reverse is true for most of the rest of the world. Where something is the actual name/title of something, (EG a mission called "The Color Of Money"), then you must use the actual spelling verbatim, even if that is wrong in both British/American English. It doesn't particularly matter which spelling you use, but where titles involve a word that is different in British/American (eg [[Armor]]), then at least have a redirect from the alternative spelling ([[Armour]]). I suppose the best answer I can offer is consistency - if you write a page in American English, it should stay in American English; if you're editing a page written in British English, keep it in that. | :I'm British, so I always write with British spellings.

:Thanks for tackling those pages - we definitely require massive expansion in the area of missions, and GTASA Missions are currently the most important/relevant ones. Glad to see you're hanging onto our naming structure, I appreciate the UESP one will be quite different. I suppose ours is most similar to Wikipedia, where we just have titles, and only use other namespaces for special types of page (Category, Image, Template, Policy, Help, System etc). One thing is that [[Big Smoke]] should stay the title as the character, because that is what 99% of visitors to that page will want, but with a "see also" line at the top (indented italics) for [[Big Smoke (Mission)]]. I think [[In The Beginning...]] is the only major title clash we'll have with missions - apart from [[Side Missions]] (side quests?) like [[Vigilante]], [[Paramedic]] etc. Keep up the good work - [http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/User:Gboyers Gboyers] ([http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/User_talk:Gboyers ?]) 12:45, 31 December 2007 (UTC) | :Thanks for tackling those pages - we definitely require massive expansion in the area of missions, and GTASA Missions are currently the most important/relevant ones.

Hello, I hope you're feeling better! I saw some recent activity on your end, so I thought I would drop you a line. If it's all the same to you, I am going to focus my efforts mainly on cleaning up and creating missing articles for [[Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas|GTA:SA]], and eventually [[Grand Theft Auto: Vice City|GTA:VC]], as I know these games the best, and am trying to avoid seeing too much information on [[GTA IV]], which seems to have sparked a flood of new users and edits. I have to wait until I can afford the PS3, so I'm trying not to fall victim to spoliers! Along these lines, I have been patrolling recent edits for the past few days, and most seem to be on articles pertaining to GTA IV, considering its recent release. This is not to say I don't want to patrol recent edits (which I am more than happy to do), just that I find myself at a bit of a disadvantage, not knowing whether the content of the edits is factually sound and/or relevant. I have been mainly checking to see that their general aim seems to be improving the article. | Hello, I hope you're feeling better!

I guess what I'm asking with my long-winded post is this: are there other administrative functions that need another brain and set of hands that I might throw my efforts into (in addition to my usual edits)? In particular, are there problem articles/users that need attention? Which special pages need the most help? Etc., etc. You get the idea. Also, what is considered as spam here, how do I detect it, and how do I deal with it?

Just as an FYI (in case my edit history hasn't obviated it), I have taken on as a global pet project the entire city of [[San Fierro]]...may be biting off more than I can chew, but I've begun at the bottom, and am working my way up, getting locations, objects/places, storyline up to snuff so that categorization, relevance to storyline, and detailed info are included everywhere. I'm trying to create a more-or-less seamless heirarchy and a continuity with respect to readers being able to jump from article-to-article as they read about San Fierro and how the story unfolds therein (and how the player's actions can contribute, etc.).

If you have the time, please let me know if my comprehension of the guidelines seems off, as I was a little uncertain at first, but think I have the gist of it now.

== Patrolling == | |||
Hiya, G. I have been patrolling regularly, but have come across a minor issue several times now on [[Special:Recentchanges]]: in instances where more than one edit has been levied on a particular article (where there is the blue drop-down expansion icon to the far left), oftentimes, the first edit (creation of the page, etc.) cannot be patrolled, as I click every link for that edit (including the time-stamp, article name, "Cur", etc.), but have no option to "Mark as patrolled" anywhere on the page. For instance, see the recent change on [[Dwayne Forge]] by [[User:PJsg1009|PJsg1009]]. Do you have any advice?

==Liberty Tree Articles== | |||
May I ask why you added the logo for the Liberty Tree to the [[From Baseball Bats to Rocket Launchers: Liberty City is over-run with unregistered weapons]]? The image is unnecessary and gives nothing to the article. The logo can be found on the [[Liberty Tree]] article, should the reader wish to find out more about the newspaper itself.

:I've mentioned this on [[User talk:Mcanmoocanu#Liberty_Tree_articles|User talk:Mcanmoocanu]]. It's serving as a header for the article, showing that it is a Liberty Tree article rather than a GTW article. If you want to be precise, why have you copied the articles verbatim when the Liberty Tree website (linked to on the pages) contains exactly the same document? Have you Considered the copyright implications of doing that? [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] ([[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|?]]) 23:59, 18 May 2008 (UTC) | |||

== Guilds and other fan content == | |||
Heya! | |||
Recently we received a request to create a wiki for a [http://requests.wikia.com/index.php?title=Crazybobs&t=20080530230328 GTA: San Andreas clan], as well as one for a [http://requests.wikia.com/index.php?title=Soulmission&t=20080525134420 GTA: San Andreas server]. What do you think about facilitating fan content on Grand Theft Wiki? We could create a Clan: namespace to keep it separate, or do anything else that might help facilitate it. It's honestly not something that I've personally thought about until now, but with GTA IV's online gameplay, it seems like the demand for a place to house this kind of content will only increase in the future. | |||
What do you think? --[[User:KyleH|KyleH]]<staff /> <small>([[User talk:KyleH|talk]])</small> 00:32, 31 May 2008 (UTC) | |||
:This is certainly interesting, and it's an issue we've been dealing with over at [http://www.thegtaplace.com/forums tgtap]. It would of course be good for clans to have their own page/s to deal with their members, servers, news, images etc. And it would be beneficial for this wiki due to the new members we would gain. However, what I don't want to do is turn the entire wiki into a platform for individual members or groups. We have been considering Editorial content, and I suppose Clans is of a similar non-encyclopaedic nature. I think that this is good idea, so long as ALL clan content remains in the Clan and User namespaces. We can have a list of clans, and clan policy, but nothing else. Thanks for bringing that to us. Any comments from other staff? [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 01:09, 31 May 2008 (UTC) | |||

== Rustler trouble and Jagerdila25 == | |||
My name's Woody, and I'm responsible for most (if not all) of the 'cleaning up' going on in the Aircraft Section. The problem is a user keeps adding false information to the 'Rustler' file. As an aviation expert and pilot, I know what I'm talking about, and I'm getting very tired of Jageradila25 wrongfully editing my posts. The Rustler is very obviously based on the NA P-51 Mustang, not the Hawker Tempest. A side by side comparison will show this. Please, put Jagerdila25 in his place. Thanks! | |||
[[User:Sukhoi-35BM|WS]] 16:05, 31 May 2008 (UTC)W. | |||
:Thank You...but.... | |||
:You actually made a mistake. Fighter planes are SUPPOSED to be fast and maneuverable. The Rustler is a fighter, and is fast and maneuverable because of this, not despite of it. There is no way that is a Tempest. I know. I have seen both in person. Whether he agrees or not is beside the point. As the manager, please investigate this matter, as Jager has not responded to my messages. | |||
== Glitch with new userpages == | |||
The new userpages seem to have a glitch associated with the "Contributions" link. When you click on "Contributions" it takes you, as it should, to [[Special:Contributions]], but if the username contains any underscores, they are replaced with plus signs. | |||
I'll use our Patroller as an easy link to an example of the problem: | |||

== Overcategorization == | |||
Hi, G. Thanks for setting me straight, so to speak. Actually, a lot of what you said was going through my head as I was doing all of this, wondering half the time, "do we really ''need'' this category?" I was quite over-zealous, I know. I was trying to cover every contingency, like you mentioned. Trust me, I still have a lot of work to do, and much of it will be undoing a lot of what I did. As you can undoubtedly tell, I'm more or less feeling my way through all of this, and I genuinely appreciate your advice, and it will not go unheeded. | |||
Also, I was thinking the exact same thing about ''Transportation'' vs. ''Transport'', and was wondering whether one is more appropriate than the other, considering the difference is more colloquial than anything. I'm perfectly fine with using ''Transport'', and will change things accordingly. And thank you for reminding me to put GTA in the category titles. That one I simply forgot! :-) '''[[User:Eganio|Eganio]]<sup>''[[User talk:Eganio|Talk]]''</sup>''' 05:44, 5 June 2008 (UTC) | |||

:Hi, G. I am currently attempting to deal with this, and am in the process of discussing things with [[User:Chip2007|Chip2007]] and [[User:GuildKnight|GuildKnight]]. I'm hoping this can be resolved quickly and smoothly...trying to nip it in the bud, so to speak. :-) '''[[User:Eganio|Eganio]]<sup>''[[User talk:Eganio|Talk]]''</sup>''' 03:21, 15 June 2008 (UTC) | |||

== Request == | |||
Hi, G. Whenever you have a chance, would you do me a huge favor and look over [[User:Eganio/Sandbox/1|my sandbox]]? I am trying to create a detailed walkthrough for [[Key to Her Heart]], and would greatly appreciate your input. Thanks in advance! :-) '''[[User:Eganio|Eganio]]<sup>''[[User talk:Eganio|Talk]]''</sup>''' 20:50, 22 June 2008 (UTC) | |||
