Hi ZS. I've moved the deleted [[list of vehicles in Grand Theft Auto series]] to this wiki. Since you were the main author of it at Wikipedia, I thought you might like to know it was here. [[w:User:Angela|Angela]] <sup>[[User talk:Angela|talk]]</sup> 20:24, 29 December 2006 (UTC)

Hey. Just to let you know that on this wiki we ''do'' have titles and subtitles in title case, as per [[Project:Style Guide]] and [[Project:Create#Titles]]. No need for the [http://gta.wikia.com/index.php?title=Ambulance&curid=1658&diff=92053&oldid=92043&rcid=86661 sarcy comments]. I realise this isn't clearly laid out in [[Policy]] pages, so I'll try and make it clearer. [[w:c:gta:User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[:w:c:gta:User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 08:21, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

:I just find it ludicrous that even simple terms need to be capitalized. Does that mean that when I make an Edit, its Capitalization may also be included when Terms are more than one Word long? Imagine having to do this for every Wikilink. It's just plain Inefficient, not to mention Messy and Inconsistent. I might want to bring this up over at the project page later. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 08:46, 11 April 2009 (UTC)

::Congratulations, you have been promoted to [[Administrator]] on Grand Theft Wiki! I have decided to promte you directly to Admin (sysop) because of your heavy work with images (which you now have the ability to delete yourself); and I feel your answers show that you are capable of using the tools without abusing them. If this doesn't work out, then we can re-think it, but I hope you live up to your own expectations and enjoy helping us out on GTW, so I wish you the best of luck!

I tried to turn on anti-aliasing but it won't do it. Do I have to do something else with the display to get it to work?

:::#The angle should be such that both the side and front of the car are properly illustrated, and the image size is still smaller than [[:Image:Sabre (GTASA) (front).jpg|this]]. Another problem is that this image is not necessary given, as mentioned, we already have an image of the Sabre in GTASA. We usually only need to include one image for each vehicle in each game in respectable articles. Oh, and the Visual Effects isn't set to the highest setting in this image.

Do you think that the video game console at the bottom of the page resembles a PlayStation One? I kind of did because of the design, the color, and the way the buttons are on there. And if it isn't could you see how it looks like a printer, or something else?--[[User:Gta-mysteries|Gta-mysteries]] 21:03, October 31, 2009 (UTC)

:See the [[:Image:Maverick (GTASA) (front).jpg|image's history ("File history" section)]] for justification. You clearly stated that the helicopter features a modded color, which is not what the vehicle would normally appear with in the unmodded game. This part of the wiki does not allow images of this kind, especially when dealing with a core topic like a vehicle. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 06:50, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

:::What that edit did was simply repeat something (the wing mirror variations) that was already mentioned twice in the article (which is why one has to read the article proper first before adding anything that isn't already there). As for the lead image, the GTASA image was simply included to replace the GTA3 image without proper reasoning. Hence the revert. - [[User:ZS|ZS]] 11:58, December 8, 2009 (UTC)
