RandomCharacters

Pamela Drake and Graham are Soapboxers, not Random characters. - DLVIII Talk 16:59, May 6, 2015 (UTC)

M'kay, but what about the nameless people who can be seen getting robbed and such? GMRE (talk) 20:03, May 6, 2015 (UTC)

Notice - File naming and/or licensing

Site-logo
Please ensure to properly name and/or license images that you upload to the GTA Wiki

Image licensing and naming is part of our official Media Policy, and as such, it is asked of all users to respect the policy and add a proper name and license when uploading as described here.

Licenses
Whenever you upload an image to the wiki, towards the bottom of the page there is an option to add a license.

  • For images that are game screenshots, use the appropriate Screenshots & in-game logos.
  • For images extracted directly from game files or from Rockstar Games websites, use This file is copyright to Rockstar Games. ({{Rockstar}})
  • For non-game screenshots (pictures taken from the web etc.), select This image is used under Fair Use.
  • For images that are not licensed, e.g. images you have created from scratch yourself, select This is in the Public Domain.

File names
As a general rule of thumb, image names should follow the following pattern:

PageSubjectName-GTAgame-OptionalDescription.png

The name can be modified in the bar right above the "add license" option when you are uploading it, and must match with the Media Policy (a table of correct names can be seen here).

What you should do now
Because your recent upload was non-compliant, you are now expected to take steps to fix the issues with your file(s). There is a detailed tutorial on how to do this here.

If you have any questions about the policy, please use the dedicated section, or if you need assistance fixing your files, please contact me on my talk page or that of any other staff member.

This message is informational, and is not to be considered an official warning, however, ignoring this message can lead to the file(s) you uploaded being deleted and possibly to an official warning or a block if you continue to ignore the policy on subsequent uploads. For more information on licensing and copyright, see here.
Thank you!

No, it's called Gtav screenshot. Or A screenshot from GTA V. Say hello to the eagle! AndreEagle17 Press triangle to interact Press X to stalk Press circle to blog 20:32, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

So what do I do about the filename? Am I suppose to reupload it, or will an admin rename it? GMRE (talk) 20:36, May 15, 2015 (UTC)
Or is the name fine? It does contain both the approximate location and the vehicle name, but no game name. GMRE (talk) 20:39, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

Well, the name should be like; Futo-GTAV-Front.jpg if your image shows a Futo, if it's a Marquis, name as Marquis-GTAV-Front.jpg, basically it's Subject-Game-Angle.jpg....

But no worries, you can always ask an admin to rename a picture for you, i'm glad you asked for help on pictures, if you need anything more, tell me or an admin, cheers. Say hello to the eagle! AndreEagle17 Press triangle to interact Press X to stalk Press circle to blog 20:43, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

Actually the picture with the car is about the UFO building. The sports car is somewhat irrelevant. GMRE (talk) 20:48, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

Which picture do you need renaming? Sam Talk 20:50, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

Hi. Both of them I guess (see me profile page), because neither of them are right according to your policy. But let me come up with names for them first. GMRE (talk) 20:53, May 15, 2015 (UTC)
"File:Desert Marquis.png"‎ should I guess become "File:Marquis-GTAV-Side-WoodenInDesert.png" Right? And "File:Bishop's WTF UFO.png"‎ should I guess become "File:Bishop's WTF UFO-GTAV-Vinewood.png" I guess? Or did I go wrong here? GMRE (talk) 21:02, May 15, 2015 (UTC)
I have renamed both images for you. I have also left redirects behind so you can access them from the links on your userpage. Sam Talk 21:11, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

Thanks. GMRE (talk) 21:14, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

Further to the above discussion - your image of the Marquis includes your FPS overlay - this should be disabled if you are taking screenshots for publication. Ideally you should switch to FPS view and look at the subject and take a screenshot with no other matter (i.e. character model) distracting from the subject. If you have uploaded something and know it should have a better name, edit the image page and add a {{Move|new imagename}} template. As stated on the "how to" guide the easiest rule of thumb for an image name is Page Subject Name-GTA game version-Optional Description.png smurfy (coms) 23:12, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

e.g.

Marquis GTAVpc GrandSenoraDesert

But now, having looked a bit closer, I don't think we should be calling this yacht a Marquis at all :) smurfy (coms) 23:46, May 15, 2015 (UTC)

Affiliation...

Is a decision made a Bureaucrat level, so ask Leo, Tom or Dan. Personally I don't see why it should be affiliated, there's no direct association with GTA or Rockstar as far as I know. smurfy (coms) 22:23, May 19, 2015 (UTC)

We limit affiliates to GTA related wikis, and Just Cause is not even a Rockstar game so I see no reason to affiliate it with this wiki. Leo68 (talk) 22:33, May 19, 2015 (UTC)

Oh. Well ok then. GMRE (talk) 22:36, May 19, 2015 (UTC)

Delevering the Truth

I have undone your modification to Delivering the Truth. Obviously the random character has nothing to do with the Epsilon Program, since you can have this random encounter even before you start The Truth. Actually this random encounter is not even for Michael only, the player can choose Trevor to obtain the stun gun very early. ZypA13510 (talk) 07:51, May 21, 2015 (UTC)

Images

Please remember to add a license to every image you upload to the wiki. By the way, in case you don't know, you can keep track of all the images you've uploaded going to "Contributions" and then "Uploads" in your user page: http://gta.wikia.com/Special:ListFiles/GMRE. Cheers. DocVinewood (talk) 18:24, May 23, 2015 (UTC)

Oh. Sorry. I usually upload pictures while editing an article. GMRE (talk) 20:20, May 23, 2015 (UTC)
