:I have an idea on how to get all of the businesses in each game. I don't know if it's a good one, but would it be better to use images of them in all the places they appear in, instead of having all of the separate articles? --[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 02:41, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

I've always thought that each business should have their own article, but I know that others, including [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]], have in the past disagreed with this. However, the idea for the wiki is to be inclusionist and there should be no reason for this not to extend to businesses. There should, however, also be the lists included on the main pages ([[Businesses in GTA III]]), similar to [[Characters in GTA San Andreas]], giving information and links to the main article. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 02:45, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

:So use a table on them, like on the [[Businesses in GTA Vice City]] page?--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 02:49, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

:Yes but without the businesses with articles section. If all businesses have an article there is no need for that section. There is also the option of a table format, such as [[Characters in GTA San Andreas]]. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 03:06, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

:Should it be [[Businesses in GTA San Andreas#Adult Entertainment|something like this]]?--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 03:21, March 10, 2010 (UTC)

::Sorry for the late reply. Yes that's fine, although another column stating the locations of each store could be a useful addition to a table. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 02:27, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

:Could you take a look at the page again and tell me if that's right? And should the type of business heading be removed and put in the chart?--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 02:48, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

::::That's fine, but the first column seems rather empty with the addition of the image. The two could always be combined, by adding <nowiki><br>'''Businesses name here'''</nowiki> after the image. And yes, eventually there would be no need for the categories as that could be added into the location section. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 03:33, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

:Got it, but what about the businesses that have articles? Should those go into the chart too?--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 02:33, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

:::Yes they should. [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 02:38, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

:Should they be alphabetized or in order according to type? And I think I'll start with GTA3 on my [[User:Gta-mysteries/Sandbox2|sandbox]].--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 22:22, March 11, 2010 (UTC)

Preferrably alphabetised. I've had a look at your sandbox and you could condense the information into two columns. One with the image and name of the company and the other for information (for example, location, what type of business, owners (if known), etc.). [[User:A-Dust|A-Dust]] 02:08, March 12, 2010 (UTC)
