When it comes to language on vehicle pages, the language style is based on the vehicle's origins. For example, a Gallivanter or Ocelot vehicle would use British English words and spelling (boot/bonnet/tyre/colour etc.) because they are based on British car manufacturers. A Declasse vehicle would use American English words and spelling (trunk/hood/tire/color) as Declasse is based on an American vehicle manufacturer. The Stratum is based on a Japanese vehicle so would therefore use British spelling, but either language style is permitted on that article as the Stratum takes its basis from a number of vehicles. With regards to the "station wagon/estate car" debate, "station wagon" is a relatively common term in England, with many estate vehicles having "station wagon" badging. For more information, see the [[GTA Wiki:Manual of Style]]. [[User:SJWalker|SJWalker]] ([[User talk:SJWalker|talk]]) 20:52, January 24, 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!
