Hey. I am British, so I always write in British English. You can too (I would recommend it). However, there is no "correct" version, and you shouldn't go around "correcting" everything to either US or UK English. If is is a quote (from a game, magazine etc), you should leave it in the original spelling - everything in GTA games is in US English. Hope that makes it clear!

Revision as of 20:06, 4 February 2010

Welcome

Hi, welcome to Grand Theft Wiki! Thanks for your edit to the User:FXX page.

Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Hardrock182 (Talk) 17:20, 17 December 2009

Damn kid

How many accounts do you have? --Geoff77 19:36, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

What are you talking about?. FXX 19:39, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

You are clearly Declansimons. If you are going to have multiple accounts, don't make your real identity so obvious. --Geoff77 19:42, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Dude I do not know ho Declansimons is, I think you have made a mistake, Ive just started GTW. And I clearly do not know many people, why would I make a multiple account?. Im telling you friend, I am not him whoever he is ok. I do not know why you think I am him. FXX 19:45, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Sure, you aren't. --Geoff77 20:24, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Look I am positive, I have searced for his name, and I do realise many of the GTW users obviously know he makes multiple accounts, I have seen his edits, and the use of vocabulary he uses. Im telling you, I am not him!. Has he been reported yet?. He shud if he makes that much accounts. FXX 20:27, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

My loser observation: Declansimons tends to set up his user pages like this "Hi! My name is [name], I live in [some place] and I think GTA is the bestest game ever" and he puts his age as 18 and some mention of Animal Crossing. This guy didn't do that.--Thescarydude 22:03, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you Thescarydude!. I do know not why he thought I was him. How many accounts has that guy got?. Why don't you report him or something?. FXX 22:07, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

He hasn't been pulling much crap lately. I think all his accounts are banned or something.--Thescarydude 22:17, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Did he used to put spam on GTW, like putting incorrect info, or deleting info?. FXX 22:20, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Why is everyone making a fuss? If he spams or gets into edit wars, he'll get banned. Simple. Don't stress about it. Gboyers talk 22:29, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Request regarding Images

I would like to request that in future when uploading an image you use a more descriptive name. So for example, if you upload an image of Temple then maybe have the name as Temple, rather than a generic Gallery 410. Just helps users to use the images you've uploaded. Thanks. A-Dust 21:43, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, sorry about that!. In future I will rename them before adding them!. Also, do you think they are good images?. Cheers. FXX 21:48, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Categories

Hi FXX. Not every single thing to do with GTA III needs to go into Category:GTA III. That would fill the category with thousands of vehicles, characters, missions, locations etc, and it would be useless. Only articles which are directly about the game itself, not part of a subcategory (eg missions), should be put in there. Thanks - Gboyers talk 22:32, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Oh, sorry about that, I just thought they needed to be put into categories, I do get what you mean now. I will learn as I go along. FXX 22:35, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Image Resizing

FXX, you don't have to resize every image to do with locations in GTA. Most of the images you are resizing are to a small degree and the edit are not really necessary, thanks. Chimpso 23:54, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

I am resizing them, because I think when they are like a thumb picture size, they don't show much, but when they are about 250px-300px, it makes the image and the page look cleaner. Don't you think?. FXX 23:56, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

I do think so, but as I said: Small degree. If the images are too big then they clutter up the article and make the text less noticing. Fort Baxter Air Base is an example of this. Chimpso 23:59, December 19, 2009 (UTC)

Well I think that when the image is below 200px and it is a small article, and the picture shows lots, EG: Downtown Los Santos, it makes it look less unoticeable. Im sure you agree with me, if a picture is too small and it shows great detail, it needs to be bigger, come on!. I do know what you are saying, and I will continue to see the sizes of the pictures. But I will not go full on, as in I will not resize every image on the wiki, just things I think need to be bigger. OK?. FXX 00:00, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

Very well, but if the article has too many images to the point that resizing them would be clutterd, I woulden't reccomend resizing them. Thanks, good luck editing :). Chimpso 00:06, December 20, 2009 (UTC)

I do respect you Chimpso, and I hope we can get along. I will try my best at editing, you too!. See you in the near future :). FXX 00:08, December 20, 2009 (UTC)
