Hi, thanks for the work on [[A History of Liberty City]]. Just a little tip, Wikipedia links are great for saying that [[Liberty City]] is based on [[wp:New York City|New York City]], because it is obvious that it is a direct link to NYC. However, linking to a Wikipedia page about a real world person, when the name given in the article is an in-game person, I don't know if I agree with that. If you were to create new articles for those characters, link to them, and IN THE ARTICLE say [[Lazlow]] is based on [[wp:Lazlow Jones|Lazlow Jones]], then I think that would be better as opposed to [[wp:Lazlow Jones|lazlow]] is ... (directly to the real world person), though other staff may disagree. Thanks!

Hi there. Could I just recommend that you use {{template|prod}} to propose pages for deletion (often with some discussion), rather than {{template|delete}}, which is only used in urgent & obvious cases of vandalism or spam. This helps us keep track of everything properly, and also gives people the chance to discuss things before a staff member (or vigilante) comes along and acts. Good work on cleaning stuff up though, so keep it up. [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 10:23, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Hi Spaceeinstein . As part of our first [[Project:Cleanup Projects|Cleanup Project]], I have assigned some tasks to [[staff]] members. This way, all the tasks get done, not just the obvious ones. Could you have a go at [[Special:LonelyPages]] (pages with no links '''to''' them) and try and fix as many as possible? This may consist of adding relevant links to other pages, or marking duplicate/unnecessary pages for deletion. Doing as many as you feel you can would be great. Just ask if you have any questions, or read the [[Project:Cleanup Projects|project page]]. Also, could you click on [[Special:ToggleUserPage|this link]] twice to get rid of your red username? Thanks - [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 20:34, 25 April 2009 (UTC)

== Image resorting ==
 
Hi. Just wondering if you have any rationale resorting images in a number of vehicle article? I usually do this only when the number of images are low and the article length is long enough that there is enough room for the thumbnails. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 07:07, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 
:[http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Talk%3ABanshee&diff=134935&oldid=134625 Gboyers has been talking about this] but if you feel like it's a clutter, then revert it if you want. I could've misread what he wrote. I've only did it to vehicles that appear in two games or less. More than that I leave it alone.
:Oh, I forgot about the ads on this site. I had them all disabled even when logged off so I didn't realize that it can create more clutter to logged off users. I'll just leave the resorting to you then.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]''' 14:07, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 
how did you do that? because i want to get rid of the ad's as well. it makes my intenet slower--[[User:Grandtheftautodude|Grandtheftautodude]] 15:28, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 
:I use Firefox. I used the file called userContent.css to block ads on many sites. That was before I realize there were ad-blocking extensions made. Browse around [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ Firefox's add-ons website] and search for one.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]''' 18:44, October 14, 2009 (UTC)
 
Erm, there's a much simpler way than that. just go to [[Special:Preferences]], go to "Skin" and untick "Show all advertisements". And anyway, a user css file wouldn't stop ads loading, only makes them invisible. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 18:51, October 14, 2009 (UTC)

== Memory Lanes images ==
 
Hi. I have this idea of using a single panoramic shot to illustrate the interior of a [[Memory Lanes]] bowling alley instead of fragmented shots (Given there are two places to illustrate: The bowling space, and the Burger Shot mini outlet). I have [http://img269.imageshack.us/img269/8783/memorylanespano.jpg a stitched shot of the place] composed of 10 images, and the original is more than 8,000 pixels wide (I'm considering bringing down the size to 50-60%). There might be issues with size, but we should be able to work it out. I have similar plans for the university grounds in [[Varsity Heights]] and [[Star Junction]]. What says you? - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 12:41, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 
:It's cool showing an entire area in one image. I'm going along with this idea. I would like the image be kept in or close to its original size. Did the 8,000-pixel-wide image break 10 MB? If you are shrinking it, single shots of important structures should go along with the panorama.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]''' 21:56, November 6, 2009 (UTC)
 
::The largest shots are 4 MB large, and these are saved in the highest jpg quality possible (the program I used only processes jpg images). If filesize is not a problem, I'll use larger pano shots. Thanks for your input. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 17:28, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 
== Watchlist Question ==
What do the green or red numbers after the edits made on a watched page mean? If you don't know what I'm talking about, here's a visual aid:

23:53 Carmen Ortiz‎ (diff; hist) . . (-1) . . A-Dust (Talk | contribs)
 
What do the +517 and -1 mean? [[User:Ghost Leader|Ghost Leader]] 15:07, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 
:I don't use watchlist but the +517 and -1 means the number of bytes that was added or deleted on the page. It's almost completely useless unless it's a huge negative number that would suggest vandalism. You can disable pages from automatically adding to your watchlist in your Preferences.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]''' 15:57, December 4, 2009 (UTC)
 
== Unique Pedestrians ==
I was browsing and happened upon some small articles (like Paranoid Cowboy and DNMOLC1) tagged for deletion. Like the Myths pages, these are generally just ''fun'' pages because they're about some pretty unique characters within the pedestrian group. I think instead of deleting them, they could be put on a single page talking about unique peds throughout the series. What do you think? [[User:Ghost Leader|Ghost Leader]] 23:37, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
 
:A page for peds in general is a lot better than having articles for each ped. But please keep the speculations to a minimum. It's not worth having a paragraph explaining what their dialogue means.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]''' 01:14, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
 
::I put these pages for deletion some time ago because I saw [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] deleting other random ped articles. So thats why I tagged them and think they should be deleted. '''''[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]]''''' 03:49, January 9, 2010 (UTC)
 
== Chinatown Wars vehicles images ==
 
Hi.

Standard camera views seem to be too far away to depict them in detail. Also, which emulator were you using? - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 01:33, January 11, 2010 (UTC)
 
:Interacting with the dumpster provide a zoomed in view of the camera so I place the vehicle next to one and orientate the camera. Then I resized the image by two to get an even closer look. I use Desmume.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]''' 21:25, January 11, 2010 (UTC)

== Proposing a rename for a page ==
I spoke of this on the talk page, but no one has replied so I'll bring it here. The [[M16|AR-15]] page should be renamed "M16 Variants". My reasoning for suggesting this is two-fold:
*Firstly: The AR-15 is a semi-automatic civilian sporting rifle ''derived from'' the M16 series long guns used by the US military.
*Secondly: No ''semi-automatic only'' "M16s" (i.e., ''actual'' AR-15s) have appeared in any GTA game to date. They've all been full auto
*And thirdly: "M16" is just a much more common name. I've met people who had no clue what an AR-15 is, yet knew exactly what an M16 is.

:Are all of them variants of M16 or are some of them M4? I could either move it to "M16" or split them up to "M16" and "M4." Which do you prefer?--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]''' 13:57, July 4, 2010 (UTC)
 
::"M16" or "M16 Variants" would encompass the entire system (which the M4 is technically still a variant within, despite having it's own lengthy development cycle in real life that was separate from the M16A2 rifle), so that would be preferable as any new variants that appear in future games can be classified under that basic name. So far, GTA4 and its Episodes are the only games that have featured an M4 (the Colt 733 that appeared in the previous games isn't technically a derivative of the M4, which carries different model numbers). So as of currently, a separate page for the M4 would encompass the M4 and only the M4, whereas an "M16" or "M16 Variants" page would encompass all variants of the system and collect them all in one place like they are now.

:Pictures of mods aren't recommended. I do not like pictures of mods because they feel too trivial and unnecessary to include into an article.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]''' 20:08, July 7, 2010 (UTC)
 
==Beta Cars==
 
Hey, I noticed you deleted the [[Robin (car)]] article. Perhaps you would like to look at the other beta car articles made by [[User:Camboisthebest008]]. Since you seem to be one of the most experienced modders here, I decided to let you take a look at then to confirm or point out that they are fake before I planned to delete them. '''''[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]]''''' ([[User Talk:Chimpso|Talk]]) 03:14, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
 
:Huh? I didn't delete that. The history shows that Gboyers deleted it. Those articles are way too short to be on its own anyway. They should all fit in the beta vehicles page. I can confirm that the ones from VC and SA are true but I have almost no knowledge on the Sony-exclusive titles.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]''' 03:21, July 14, 2010 (UTC)
 
== Question about the TV Show I'm Rich in GTA IV ==
 
Is it possible in the average no-addons (TLaD and BoGT) to rob Tony McTony of one of his Infernus cars? I'd like to know if it's possible, moreso on the PS3.
 
 
 
Thanks, [[User:TroubledSCC|TroubledSCC]] 00:50, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 
:I do not really understand what you have typed. Are you asking if McTony's car is available in the game? The answer would be no.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|Spaceeinstein]]''' 00:52, July 15, 2010 (UTC)
 
==Galleries==
Just wondering, do you know what happened to the galleries? For some reason the borders disappeared, and the images within them skew off the page. --[[:User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]]'' 06:25, July 15, 2010 (UTC)''

That blue PCJ-600 from GTA VC, was [[:Image:PCJ600-GTAVC-blue-front.jpg|this it]]? --[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] <sup>[[User talk:Gta-mysteries|Talk]]</sup> 13:46, August 1, 2010 (UTC)
 
:It would probably be better to make a comparison image with the other two shades of blue PCJs that spawn on the streets. Like placing all three PCJs next to each other in one image to show the unique colors.--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|spaceeinstein]]''' 03:25, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

==Edit Warring==
I wasn't in an edit war, i was correcting something that i wrote that GTAFAN keeps messing up. What he is writing is poorly written, wrong and sounds shit. I do not have a habit of undoing peoples edits, im just trying to make it better.
Thank u for those kind words of wisdom. Maybe u should preach those elsewhere, perhaps on GTAFAN's talk page instead of just mine.
 
That explosion myth isn't a myth, there is an explosion. GTAFANs edits are baseless too if mine are though.
 
Anyway, as both endings are considered canon until Rockstar say one. Remember how Timur says Dimitri has been killed in Departure Time, why would he say this after Pegorino is killed on happiness island. I played Out of comission and there is a slight fireball in the sky, go watch the revenge ending on youtube and you'll see.

I suppose we could use Areas instead of Districts. We have go to change all the categories if we did. --[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] <sup>[[User talk:Gta-mysteries|Talk]]</sup> 05:07, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 
:Areas are the more accurate term. You would not call a place like [[Back o Beyond]] a district. If we did change however, we could just get [[User:Gtabot|Gtabot]] to change them all for us. '''''[[User:Chimpso|Chimpso]]''''' ([[User Talk:Chimpso|Talk]]) 05:18, August 19, 2010 (UTC)
 
== Ballas gang were eliminated ==
 
When I claim all of the turfs, the Grove Street Families dominated all turfs around Los Santos. And the Ballas has been eliminated and the player's turf is no longer under attack. Umm....Now I have a secret that the Grove Street members using the [[Patriot]] and [[SWAT Tank]] after the Ballas has been terminated. --[[User:Videogamer13|Videogamer13]] 03:20, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 
:Huh? What are you talking about?--'''[[User:Spaceeinstein|spaceeinstein]]''' 04:42, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
 
I just talk about how I terminate the [[Ballas]] gang and claim all of the turfs and I got secrets that [[Grove Street Families|GSF]] members using Patriots and SWAT tanks. I think this is bug. --[[User:Videogamer13|Videogamer13]] 05:03, September 12, 2010 (UTC)
