Cleanup and source[]
While I am taking an axe to the trivia section on the page (most can be integrated rather than purged) I'd really like to see a source cited for the names "Bella and Stella".
The names were added in July 2011 by Gregallz5. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to see how trustworthy his edits were (this is the guy that went ape-shit at the bureaucrats of the day for calling him out over his claims Misty was named after Miss-Teeq ffs). He originally claimed they were called "Shaney and Shelly" before changing that a day later to "Bella and Stella".
The files are generic - the in-game dff and txd are named stripa and the texture is "Exotic Dancer1", i.e. there are no codenames in game files to back up this claim.
Any source before I remove? Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 07:14, January 30, 2020 (UTC)
- Yes. "The Lab: Part 1". But it isn't available anymore. kamikatsu_ Talk 11:17, January 30, 2020 (UTC)
- But since I can't prove it, just remove it. I'll try to find a video of it. kamikatsu_ Talk 11:32, January 30, 2020 (UTC)

- kamikatsu_
- iirc her name appears when you hover the mouse on her artwork on the main menu

- i can't prove it tho, just remove it
- maybe their names are in the GTAVC avatar section on RGSC
- but i'm pretty sure i saw their names in some Rockstar website
- kiwismurf
- it was flash... I'll see if I can find it
- kamikatsu_
- gotta save all flash websites until december
- kiwismurf
- the yt video above has the content by the looks, but no interactivity
- kamikatsu_
- yes
- i'm trying to recreate The Lab (all three parts) on the wiki
- it's on the bottom of my sandbox
- The lab is still fully available on Rockstar page linked above (at least till the end of this year when all Flash dies) but you need an old insecure browser to load it. I'm having a look now (in a secure VM environment). She is definitely on the main page and talks like a stripper to the viewer, but I can't see anything resembling a name yet. Lab2 is sound and Diaz is on that one. Lance does #3. None of them have a name associated. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 12:27, January 30, 2020 (UTC)
(Reset indent)All the content is shown in this video but it obviously excludes the Flash animated interactivity element. Alas we still have no evidence, however I'm willing to leave it there at the moment based on your memory. We'll keep looking for a valid citation.
