Hi Gboyers, I wanted to ask how can you be promoted? I have been editing a lot and have been following the rules since I joined you guys. I asked GTA mysteries and he said that I am ready for a promotion. --[[User:GTA4LIFE|GTA4LIFE]] 06:50, July 5, 2010 (UTC) | |||

==Blocks== | |||
Hey Gboyers. I hve blocked [[User:Saintsrow2fan95]] for adding false info when asked to stop (see his talk page). He created a duplicate account [[User:Saintsrow2fan2010]] to circumvent the block and re-do the edits. I have banned both these users for 2 weeks as a final warning. I just thought that I would inform you of this. '''''[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]]''''' ([[User Talk:Chimpso|Talk]]) 02:43, July 6, 2010 (UTC) | |||

== Question. == | |||
I've heard that some wikia sites can give you viruses. Is this true? I recently had a virus and I REALLY don't need another one.[[User:HoboHunter28|HoboHunter28]] 00:07, July 16, 2010 (UTC) | |||
== I wanted to be a moderator for a reason.... == | |||
I really wanted to spearhead new kinds of cleanup projects. I mostly want to focus on images, fixing their sizes, captions, etc. I would also like a spelling and grammar cleanup. I may have fewer than 100 edits, but with me on the staff I think the quality of articles would increase.[[User:HoboHunter28|HoboHunter28]] 03:23, July 18, 2010 (UTC) | |||
Oh yeah, but I didn't think people would recognize me as the head of a cleanup and just keep going on destroying pages.[[User:HoboHunter28|HoboHunter28]] 14:41, July 18, 2010 (UTC) | |||
== There's a page that needs an admin asap... == | |||
The page is called "WHY GTA 4 SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and was (poorly) written by GTAas. Can you or another Admin delete this page and give him a warning or block him? Thanks. [[User:Jackass2009|Jackass2009]] 23:46, July 27, 2010 (UTC) | |||
NVM, it was deleted by GTA-mysteries. Idk if the kid was dealt with though. [[User:Jackass2009|Jackass2009]] 01:05, July 28, 2010 (UTC) | |||
The kid is back and it's creating more useless pages. Can you block his IP Address? http://gta.wikia.com/User:GTADANS is his user page. [[User:Jackass2009|Jackass2009]] 22:45, July 28, 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Videos from YouTube == | |||
Hey, Gboyers. I was wondering why the videos embedded from YouTube wouldn't show up. If there is an embedded video, like in mission pages, no small video screen or whatever would show up. Would you know why this is a problem, or, is it my browser/IP that's causing it, and not Wikia/YouTube? [[User:Masterpogihaha|Masterpogihaha]] 11:20, August 2, 2010 (UTC) | |||
== South Bohan Drug Crew == | |||
In the discussion page, everyone has said that the "<code>South Bohan Drug Crew</code>" is a made up gang, and that the page should be deleted. Yet no one has deleted the page. So can an admin delete this page? [[User:88FanNASCAR|88FanNASCAR]] August 6, 2010 21:22 (UTC) | |||

== new poll == | |||
May you please create a new poll after a month or two called "the best gta game" and include the games "gta 1/gta london", "gta 2", "gta advance", "gta liberty city stories/gta vice city stories" and "gta chinatown wars"? -- [[User:PK2PK2|PK2PK2]] 02:35, August 8, 2010 (UTC) | |||
==Redirects== | |||
I'm not saying that redirects aren't useful, I just wanted them to be categorized so I could go through them easier. This is easier for me to see which ones shouldn't even be here (misspelling, made up names). Really I just think that using a redirect on a page seems kind of "lazy". My doing of the "fixing" hasn't left them unusable. They can still be typed into the search box. I highly doubt someone would type in Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories, instead of GTA LCS, or something shorter. Once we do get rid of the unnecessary redirects we could delete the category with the special page already here. --[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] <sup>[[User talk:Gta-mysteries|Talk]]</sup> 11:04, August 8, 2010 (UTC) | |||
Redirects that have both different kinds of English (Armour, Armor, Colour, Color) we should keep. Made up titles like these: (Forelli Lexcess, Carl Johnson's Willowfield Home), and others. As far as these go, I'm only keen to have redirects that are ''actually'' mentioned by in-game name. Isn't that part of the style guide to have information as consistent with the game(s) as possible? Really with the redirects category I just finished a little while ago. The misspellings such as Pay n Spray aren't misspellings, they just don't have correct punctuation. Though alot could use work.--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] <sup>[[User talk:Gta-mysteries|Talk]]</sup> 11:38, August 8, 2010 (UTC) | |||
We could do that, separate them by type such as I did [[User:Gta-mysteries/Links|here]]. --[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] <sup>[[User talk:Gta-mysteries|Talk]]</sup> 11:46, August 8, 2010 (UTC) | |||
And I would love to make the wiki easier for everyone but there are ALOT of things that are difficult. To me they are like the disambiguations don't you think so? --[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] <sup>[[User talk:Gta-mysteries|Talk]]</sup> 00:39, August 9, 2010 (UTC) | |||
== London in GTA IV Era == | |||
Is it worth creating a 'London in GTA IV era' page?, there are little referances in GTA IV, but surly other people may discover more. Or would the information be useful on the London article to make it bigger? [[User:Addicted2gta|Addicted2gta]] 23:03, August 9, 2010 (UTC) | |||

==Businesses categories== | |||
If it's alright could we switch back to the standard businesses category? It seems more suitable to manage. Than with the all businesses, and all stores. I think we should cut down to the business category, and it's subcategories, instead of having another category for stores. What was said above about using the game specific categories (like we did with the missions) should be done for all pages. I also think we should delete some of the business types, since they are a minor feature and in my opinion we don't really need to have more subcategories for their type. And as far as redirects go, I can let these go, I wasn't really making it a priority. But there are still some things that can confuse me, hopefully you can explain these to me: | |||
[[:Category:Locations]]<br>[[:Category:Places]]<br>[[:Category:Locations by Type]] | |||
I propose we delete the either the locations, or the places category. | |||

==Checking Users== | |||
Hey GB. There has been a high influx of vandalism on this wiki over the past month, I was wondering if you could check the following users for me: | |||
[[User:Fogta]] (already blocked)<br>[[User:Fosr2]] (already blocked)<br>[[User:Gtaunited]] (previously bolcked, other two users were created during his three day block term) | |||
I have a feeling that these are all the same user. Also, you might want to consider putting in a request for a new "checkuser" user around here. The only two who have it are A-Dust and yourself, and since A-Dust has been inactive for several months and you are not really on here all the time, I think it is worth considering. As for cantidates, [[User:Spaceeinstein]], [[User:Gta-mysteries]] or myself seem to be the most active admins around here. Just a suggestion. Thanks.

== Userboxes == | |||
Hello Gboyers, | |||
It is my first time on this second wiki since I became administrator of the Choro Q Wiki and my work there is now done because I made all articles successfully, right now I supremely and extremely adore every Grand Theft Auto game and it has been a bang of a year since I've played them and reordered the PS2 GTA games, I've had every bigger fun since it's England 1998, I was an administrator from the last wiki and now I want to be one in this wiki and then manager. You know this is pure capitalism here, businessmen working, youngsters working on laptops and playing online games there and I have the freedom of paradise here. Right now, I want to know about userboxes because I haven't had one in this wiki for a long time, how do I post it on my homepage? | |||

==Site Banner (Monaco2.png)== | |||
I have been having some trouble with the GTW banner. The problem it ''it takes forever to load''! I have dial-up, which is part of the problem, but even on other broadband computers I have tried, it still takes some time to load. I have to leave my computer alone for about 5-8 minutes for the banner to fully load. Is there any way that you can modify the banner to make it more friendly to people with slower connections? Editing and browsing with that thing continuously loading is a hassle (my browser seems to prioritize it before any other images, the sidebar incluede).

== Brave New World == | |||
I've recently created a new page which should be about a new (video) game (series) that could be released INSTEAD or AFTER GTA 5. Now I'm not sure what to do... [[User:DasRagazzoSan|DasRagazzoSan]] 14:19, August 28, 2010 (UTC) | |||
Hey Gsboyers! I really love the wiki because of it's intelligence involving the awards I acquired, right now I want to do a profile link so I can view my customs. I think I know where the help for it might be like you just said so. | |||
Thanks for moving the page Brave New World. I was too afraid to make it as a subpage because I thought it would be less popular. Somebody also made a new page called [[Viper]]. It's about Dodge Viper and i don't know what is it doing in this wiki!? [[User:DasRagazzoSan|DasRagazzoSan]] 14:18, August 29, 2010 (UTC) | |||
== Profile links == | |||
Good day to you Gsboyers, I've been using the wiki shortly and I adore the intelligence here because of the awards I've gained and the [[Pedestrian Dialogue]] that we just added, I want to do the profile links on my profile account because I tried getting my custom over to my user page but it never appeared after I've updated it. Can you tell me what to do so I can get my custom to show like anybody else's please? | |||

Hi again! I hope you're happy that we're having a chitter-chatter here! I just wanted to say, how do you get your own tidbits (Custom) to show on your page even if it doesn't appear on it? I'm trying to do that but it's pointless. :([[User:Crescendospectredragon|JS Ross]] 13:33, August 29, 2010 (UTC)Crescendospectredragon | |||
