Inactive Staff Clearout[]
Just looking through staff members, and have noticed User:Bob.cutlass2 is still a patroller, even though his last contribute was in April 2014, and it wasn't even an article edit. Shouldn't he be demoted to non-staff? Or can you not be demoted from a patroller to non-staff? (talk) | (stalk) 22:08, February 21, 2015 (UTC)
- also, User:Haruhi_Suzumiya 's last edit was in 2012! (talk) | (stalk) 22:12, February 21, 2015 (UTC)
- Hey man, you said: "Inactive patrollers can't be demoted at all. It's against the policy." but does it apply even if their last edit was three years ago? (talk/stalk/blog) 13:51, February 22, 2015 (UTC)
- Exactly, thats what i thought, surely, they don't deserve a staff membership if they don't contribute for extreme aunual times? It's not like they're going to return. (talk) | (stalk) 13:53, February 22, 2015 (UTC)
Animals[]
Hey Jamal, remember when we were talking about animals in GTA V compared to other games? Yeah, in GTA V, any animal, including a Rottweiler can kill the player with a single bite, today I noticed that in Red Dead Redemption this is much different, there's a hunting challenge (which I didn't want to do, but I had to in order to complete the game 100%) where you have to kill two Cougars using a Knife and collect their pelts, in Red Dead, they need two or three attacks to kill the player and there's a greater chance to survive and fight them back, the most powerful animals in this game are the Bears, they kill the player with two attacks, but they're slow, to kill them, you'll need 6 shots with a Semi-auto shotgun or two shots with a Buffalo Rifle (now think about that, the 8th challenge demands the player to kill a Bear using a Knife) (talk/stalk/blog) 17:15, February 22, 2015 (UTC)
- Yeah, Red Dead has a larger variety of animals and the chances of surviving is greater, one thing I found useless in GTA V was that Hunting minigame, poaching is more likely, you get nothing from killing innocent animals, in Red Dead you get a powerful rifle (which kills a Bear with a single shot in the head) and a healing thing in the case you are attacked by wolves and cougars, I don't like hunting in general, but I can't deny it when it's necessary, I need just a bit more hunting to complete the game 100%, when I complete this game, I will stop killing animals for good, killing gangsters is much better. (talk/stalk/blog) 01:42, February 23, 2015 (UTC)
- You know what? I found a game which is better than GTA V and this game is called Red Dead Redemption xD I still like GTA V, but Red Dead got my favoritism, but hey, you're talking about Far Cry 3, is this game fun like Red Dead? I mean, it's a FPS open world game, you can still play after the storyline completition, can't you? (talk/stalk/blog) 01:49, February 23, 2015 (UTC)
Oh, that's bad... The first thing that made me not buy Far Cry 3 is because it's a FPS game, I suck at FPS. (talk/stalk/blog) 02:15, February 23, 2015 (UTC)
- I will first clear Red Dead 100%, then Watch Dogs 100%, then i'll see what game I can buy. (talk/stalk/blog) 02:25, February 23, 2015 (UTC)

Talk page screen[]
I got this idea from Rain xD he had an even more incredible screen with various images and links, so I decided building my own, but if you want me to build a screen, I can do it for you, what do you want in it? Any song? Any png picture or gif? (talk/stalk/blog) 03:00, February 25, 2015 (UTC)
- Well, I can add a slideshow with all the pictures you want, I'd like to know what font, color and border you'd like to have in the screen, i'll do it tomorrow (or today, in the case of american timeline) (talk/stalk/blog) 03:09, February 25, 2015 (UTC)

RE:A Compliment[]
Thanks! Mister Hansen also appreciate your compliment. By the way, thanks for the cleanup in the The World's a Stooge page. I normally ask Sam to do the cleanup in the pages that I edit. This Chinatown Wars mission pages really need to be updated, I'm currently playing the game in my phone, so I edit the pages as I progress in the campaign. I should be done with all the missions in a couple of weeks. DLVIIIL Talk 05:13, February 26, 2015 (UTC)

Vehicle naming[]
I agree completely that some cases are really ridiculous, the Dune Buggy was probably the most ridiculous one, I still ask myself why Rockstar didn't name it as "Bandito", the Dumper/Dump is another one that you mention, but the VTOL Jet, i'll let it like it is right now, but in this case... Ha, i'm sure it's a Hydra, i'll pay a beer to everyone if it isn't xD (talk/stalk/blog) 14:50, February 26, 2015 (UTC)
- Yes, pure ignorance, as I said to Sam, I always call the Dump as "Dumper", the same goes to the Dune Buggy, I never, ever call it as "Dune Buggy", I recuse, for me it's entirely a Bandito, same goes to the Hydra, whether this new plane is called Hydra or not, I refuse not to call it a Hydra. (talk/stalk/blog) 19:31, February 26, 2015 (UTC)
- Bull's eye bro, both renditions of the normal Turismo looks great, i'd like if there was the GTA IV Turismo and a Turismo classic (or Turismo F4) in GTA V, the Turismo R is very cool, but I don't nearly like it as I did to the previous versions, it looks too much modern, the GTA IV is more like a sports car and it would probably be cheap (about 300,000 dollars), some cars really needed to be back. (talk/stalk/blog) 23:44, February 26, 2015 (UTC)
Move[]
Hey Smash. Can you move this page to this other one?
Also, can you rename this page? This page should be about the Cherry Popper brand in general, instead of just the factory. Thanks. DLVIIIL Talk 14:01, February 27, 2015 (UTC)

Leaked Info[]
Keep an eye out. This user posted a leaked image of the new Kuruma set to be featured in the Heists update. He then set up a second account and posted the same image. He has been banned on both accounts. We don't need another sockpuppet. The guy uses random numbers and letters for his titles and the image appears to be in the same image it is outside the La Mesa LSC. If the image appears again before March 10, ban the uploader immediately. Leo68 (talk) 07:25, March 1, 2015 (UTC)
GTA Game[]
I admit man, GTA San Andreas is the best, it's a timeless classic, while GTA V is still a hell of a game but not the best GTA game. (talk/stalk/blog) 19:30, March 2, 2015 (UTC)
Vandal[]
There's a Vandal editing your user page. I'd consider warning him: User:DomWoody . (talk) | (stalk) 19:38, March 2, 2015 (UTC)
- I've already warned him, and I've reverted the edits he made to your page Jamal, but I get the feeling he won't pay much attention. SJWalker (talk) 19:40, March 2, 2015 (UTC)
I don't think a warning will work. A block would probably be more appropriate, as it appears he isn't going to be a constructive editor. SJWalker (talk) 19:45, March 2, 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for that, quick response right there! (talk) | (stalk) 19:55, March 2, 2015 (UTC)

The vehicles you said are actually easy to obtain, the Merryweather mesa needs to be taken in The Wrap Up and the Bati Custom just spawns randomly xD. (talk/stalk/blog) 21:09, March 2, 2015 (UTC)
To get the mermesa in GTA Online, just set a bounty on a player, and steal the Mesas the merryweather use. (talk) | (stalk) 21:10, March 2, 2015 (UTC)
There's currently no way to do that, why did you make your character a woman in the first place, you're a man for god sakes! LOL, you should play with me when you get your Xbox Live Gold back, what console are you on? (talk) | (stalk) 21:26, March 2, 2015 (UTC)
Cool, i'll be selling my 360 in a couple of months or so, but i can still play, what's your gamertag? (talk) | (stalk) 21:34, March 2, 2015 (UTC)
when you're on GTA Online, i think in the pause menu there is an option for characters, somewhere there should be "create new character", this will make a new character (duh), and when you next sign in to GTA Online, you will automatically be signed into that character. You can switch between characters at anytime by going to the characters menu. I don't know for sure how you make a new character, but i can picture it! I've done it before, so there is a way. (talk) | (stalk) 21:49, March 2, 2015 (UTC)

Hey SmashBro, I found this image http://gta.wikia.com/File:Algonquin_only.png
It is named "Algonquin only". But as the image policy says the name should be related to image. So I think the image should be renamed to "Algonquin map" . Can you rename it?Hunter(Talk/Stalk) 15:23, March 4, 2015 (UTC)
Astoria Street[]
In GTA IV, it is called only Astoria not Astoria street. So it should be renamed to Astoria. I was not able to do so. Can you rename it? Hunter(Talk/Stalk) 18:15, March 4, 2015 (UTC)
WHOOOAA!!!![]
Man, you have played NFS Carbon!!????
Man, I love that game! It's probably my second favorite NFS game, just before NFS Most Wanted, I remember back there, when NFS was the best racing game series ever, no joke, I felt some nostalgia when you mentioned NFS, I remember my nice cars, the Shelby GT500, the Lambo Murcielago, the Lambo LP640, the Carrera GT, the DB9, the BMW M3 aaaaand.... The sweetest car i've ever had: THE FORD MUSTANG! Ooooh good times, playing with friends, racing like a boss :') I miss these games! (talk/stalk/blog) 02:01, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
- Yup, the Corvette is still a beast, I loved it as much as the Coquette, I bought NFS Hot Pursuit for PS3 but it's not as fun as Carbon, I have played NFS The Run, but it looks gross, the graphics look like those from Minecraft and the driving is as bad, if not worse than Watch Dogs, the storyline also doesn't make sense, The Run is a shit, not much else to say xD NFS Underground 2 is also a nostalgic game. (talk/stalk/blog) 02:07, March 5, 2015 (UTC)
I also played Gran Turismo 5, but I got tired of it, it's very realistic, but it's not very fun and it's sometimes too difficult, some races in GT5 are very long, the game itself is good but challenging. (talk/stalk/blog) 02:22, March 5, 2015 (UTC) I wasn't joking about the long races, there's a 24-hour race in GT5, not 24 hours in-game, but in real time.
I didn't play GT6 (yet) :p (talk/stalk/blog) 02:33, March 5, 2015 (UTC)

Military Patriot[]
About the Military Patriot, I'm not sure that it will be present in the Heists Update (probably not), but if it doesn't appear in the Heists update, it will appear in the next update, many other cars were found in the game files, like what happened in the High Life update, where they found the cars from the I'm not a Hipster update, also, as I saw a picture of the military Patriot, I have seen a picture of the Dubsta 6x6 before the High Life Update, so that's it, the military Patriot WILL appear, but not in the Heists update. (talk/stalk/blog) 14:22, March 7, 2015 (UTC)
- I agree with you, the Hind heli is cool, but NO HELICOPTER will ever be better than the Hunter, as I said previously, the Hunter may have an insanely expensive price in GTA Online, I wouldn't care, I would sell all my cars just to buy the Hunter xD it's my favorite armed vehicle of all games. (talk/stalk/blog) 14:15, March 8, 2015 (UTC)
- I don't lose hope for this, one day they will bring the Hunter back :P and who knows, they may bring back the APC too, they all look good, I'm sure that the Hydra will kick ass, I knew by leaking info that the Hydra can be bought in GTA Online, it's not exclusive for the Heists, so it's already good news.

Heists Update[]
I'm so angry and upset to see that the Heists vehicles are only available for GTA Online -_- and some of them can only be bought after completing a Heist. Fuck... I didn't like this. (talk/stalk/blog) 14:15, March 10, 2015 (UTC)
- I think if enough people complain Rockstar may relent and add them to story mode. I tell you what though, if the Casco isn't in the PC release of GTA V I'll be pretty pissed off, that looks like a great car. SJWalker (talk) 15:42, March 10, 2015 (UTC)
As I mentioned to Andre, go to Rockstar's website home page, look for Mouthoff at the bottom of the page and leave your complains there. It's the least that we can do if we want to see this vehicles in single player. DLVIIIL Talk 15:49, March 10, 2015 (UTC)
- I have done what 558 said, I know i'm not the only one what wants these vehicles for single player, I won't take a break till I can ride the Hydra. Also, speaking of the Hydra, I remember the hours playing just to get enough money to buy a Stinger GT and The Liberator in GTA Online, i'm gonna sell my Turismo R, Rhapsody and some other worthless vehicles just to buy my precious Hydra... (talk/stalk/blog) 16:15, March 10, 2015 (UTC)
Yes you should have xD I love the Zombie, but this is purely optional to them, the military Patriot will come in the next update... I gonna sell nine vehicles to buy the Hydra, I hope it's worth. (talk/stalk/blog) 16:29, March 10, 2015 (UTC)
- There are many others xD this is optional to Rockstar, but they could also bring the Flash, Club, Elegy (Skyline R34), Combine Harvester, Yosemite, Moonbeam, Clover, Tampa, PMP 600, Freeway and many many many others... (talk/stalk/blog) 16:38, March 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Hell yes, how could I forget the Savanna? I like it too, before the festive surprise I wanted the Slamvan back and they did bring back :) now, all of them should be back too, if I can add another vehicle, I should say the Revenant, you may not know this bike, but if you look at it, you know that they should bring back too, maybe in a biker DLC, the Super DD also needed to be brought back, I like it over the normal Diamond, with the gold paintjob, it would be perfect. (talk/stalk/blog) 17:00, March 10, 2015 (UTC) Oh, speaking of gold, what about a golden APC?

Trivia[]
I've had (and won) this argument before. The only "similar vehicle in another game" trivia we should allow is for other Rockstar games. The minute you allow "there was also a vehicle based on real life X in game Y", you have to allow all of those references to be added. How many games can you think of that have a Toyota HiLux Technical in them? I can think of 4 or 5 just off the top of my head. smurfy (coms) 20:35, March 10, 2015 (UTC)
- Let's park this discussion for a week or so while we deal with the Heists update content and we'll start a wider discussion with the community on whether we should allow it. OK? smurfy (coms) 21:11, March 10, 2015 (UTC)
Technical[]
Sean pointed out the only differences between both the Rebel and the Insurgent, I noticed that it's roughly the same thing between both Insurgents and both Buzzards, so I agree with him, we shoud list the Technical as a variant of the Rebel, not a separete vehicle. Also, your point about the Guardian is similar to how the Roosevelt shares similarities with the Whiskey Ghost from Scarface, as far as I know, GTA V and Scarface are the only games to feature Al Capone's limo.

Heists vehicles' insanely high price[]
Yes, I was like "c'mon, what the fuck?", I'm still surprised at the Lectro's high price, it's more expensive than a Zentorno, a Turismo R, GODDAMN PLANES, but why this price? Just because it has a boost button??? Also, the Technical is just a Rebel with a gun, this is madness... If all these vehicles have weapons, why didn't they enable the JB 700's shotguns? It would make sense! I definitely didn't download the update and I will only download it if they add all vehicles to the single player mode. (talk/stalk/blog) 14:20, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
- Gang modified value - Yeah, it's my normal "100K an hour" Online practice, jump in my "seed" Tornado, do one circuit of bus graveyard to Forum Drive and back and pick up a Tornado or Peyote, sell it for 12 grand and start some jobs... got a nice shock when I got 40K+ and repeated it an hour later. smurfy (coms) 20:18, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
Rename and Heists[]
A new wave of renames for you! Here, here and here. Also, whats your take on the whole heists update?I know that you are dissapointed about the lack of vehicles in single player, but did you got to play or see any of the heists? DLVIIIL Talk 16:08, March 12, 2015 (UTC)
- If you are having trouble making money in single player, just follow the GTA Series stock market guide in the Bawsaq.com page. I did that and got 2.1 billion dollars with each character, hell, I bought the golf club, the three cinemas and the Z-Type all as Michael, and I still have 1.9 billion to spend with him.

- Unfortunately, yes, as WildBrick says: "This is blasphemy", having the Kuruma and the Slamvan only for GTA Online is pure blasphemy, as these made history in single player modes, mainly the Kuruma, which was the first car ever to be driven in the 3D Universe! It's really a blasphemy to be available only in GTA Online, it's like if a F-22 was only availabe for the Russian army. (talk/stalk/blog) 13:55, March 14, 2015 (UTC)
- Exactly, I understand that the Stinger GT is such a worthy car that should be exclusive in some way, I own one in GTA Online because it looks very nice, however, the Annihilator is much weaker and useless compared to its previous TBoGT rendition, also, I never took my hands on the Khamelion, as it's a multiplayer exclusive and I don't wanna pay to play GTA Online, all the other vehicles should be available on single player, I hope Rockstar listen to us.

Rename[]
I think First Mission (GTA SA) should be renamed to " In the Beginning (GTA SA)" because after the opening cutscene, if the player collects enough money to buy a safehouse and saves the game, the game will be saved as "In The Beginning" . We have done the same thing with GTA Vice City, then why should we not do it to GTA SA. Can you rename it?Hunter(Talk/Stalk) 08:23, March 15, 2015 (UTC)

Is it possible to just run away from the Bear? In Red Dead Redemption it is, they are slow, they don't tend to catch the player very easily, but if the player is on foot, the Bear have a good chance to kill him, but Bears are overall slow and though. (talk/stalk/blog) 19:15, March 16, 2015 (UTC)
- Wow, animals aren't as friendly as in GTA V xD one of the first animals I have seen were Monkeys at Dennis' village, though they're friendly. In Far Cry 4 there are even more cool animals, there are Rhinos, Bees, Demon fish, ELEPHANTS :D it should be very nice, I don't even know why I didn't play Far Cry before.

IRL and Far Cry 3[]
Hey Jamal, my internet just got jammed, so i'm briefly getting here to say some things, I may come back sunday, but i'm not sure.
Anyway, you know what car I have driven in real life? The Huntley Sport, man, you should drive one... I have never driven a faster SUV, the Range Rover Sport is just GORGEOUS to drive, it handles very smoothly and it's much more agile than it appears to be, that's the best car I have driven yet. You already love the car, when you manage to drive one, you will feel very good!
About Far Cry, I was shocked to see the giant monster with a red mask and more shocked to know that I had to kill it, but I completed the mission, so I just started another mission, when Jason gets in a heli and threats one of Vaas' henchmen to take the heli off, when someone shot the heli with an RPG and Jason woke up very weak, I just saw Vaas and I said: "Holy shit, no..." and he said "Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity?" - I swear to you that I thought Jason was dead and the game was over, but it wasn't over thankfully! Finally, I killed Vaas, this game is really awesome man! :D (talk/stalk/blog) 22:55, March 20, 2015 (UTC)

Vehicle infobox images[]
I agree, I got a bit of time on the PS4 in the last couple of days and only bothered to grab some for the ones I wasn't happy with the existing PS3/X360 versions (Enduro, Savage) along with grabbing proper interiors (instead of watermarked video screengrabs). Depending on how my PC copes (I can't afford the video card upgrade I know I need at the moment) my plan is to see how much better images will be from PC rather than trying to do a wholesale change to PS4 versions of the images.
All part of my grand scale Vehicle MoS update I am scheduling for after PC release. smurfy (coms) 21:13, March 25, 2015 (UTC)
- OK, I'm starting to get slightly pissed off here.
- FACTS:
- I have only replaced 2 vehicle images for infoboxes with shots from the enhanced version - The Enduro and the Savage, both of which replaced poor original shots. I also uploaded one of the Hydra which I put in the gallery because I didn't think it was better then the infobox "low res" version. I haven't noticed anyone else trying to replace images.
- I have also uploaded PS3 snapmatics of others:
- Some of which are worse than Wildbrick's (poor lighting & angles on my blue Guardian which was only quickly taken and uploaded when I realised the first one uploaded on release night was user-modified) It was subsequently replaced by his black one (which I still think is a poorly composed shot but is much better than my blue one).
- Some of which are better than Wildbricks' (i.e Kuruma - look at detail visible on the drivers door on the armoured shot compared to his black one), he replaced with his as PNGs and I replaced back with mine when I was reminded to upload them as PNGs, that's the closest I've seen to any "battle" over which images are "better".
- They are just updated with progressively better shots as a matter of course as people unlock them, which is 100% normal everyday activity which will continue. If I take a better shot of anything (old version or enhanced) I will replace the poorer shot. Period. smurfy (coms) 00:16, March 31, 2015 (UTC)
- That's not venting AT you, that was intended to be venting TO you, sorry if you thought otherwise.
- Nah, the blue Guardian shots suffer from direct overhead lighting and a bit of fish-eye lense distortion in the corner closest to camera. It's so big it's hard to pose it in that location without getting that perspective distortion. smurfy (coms) 00:33, March 31, 2015 (UTC)

- I think you mean "In Rio-São Paulo highway" :p those are very dangerous and FULL OF 18-WHEELERS, in Brazil, I don't know why but some people praise these giant trucks, whereas I find many of them very stupid, I think motorcycles and rail vehicles should be the most used transport in this country, I really hate giant trucks and buses here, they're more annoying than Taxis. (talk/stalk/blog) 03:48, April 5, 2015 (UTC)
- Sorry man, I fell asleep, but as I was saying, the taxis are less used here and there are too many bad-quality buses in Rio and São Paulo, they all lack air-conditioner, comfortable seats and space, there are more buses than citizens, which makes the traffic very long... About the big trucks, I understand that they bring food, clothes, fuel and more necessary stuff, however, some of them carry unnecessary stuff like cheap Soda and dump (yes, they transport too much dump in 18-wheelers), so, with that heavy traffic, I praise the railways, I love subway trains, transport trains, trams and trains in general, they only make the traffic easier, they don't pollute and they take more than enough people to their destination, they're the best transport ever made by a human, I wish there was more trains in Rio...

Promotion Opportunity[]
Greetings!
This is Jorge from Wikia. I'm reaching out to you a few other admins about a potential promotion opportunity I wanted to run by you and your GTA community. To help spotlight your community and celebrate the release of GTA V on PC, we are considering partnering with Nvidia to host an expert blog post about how to mod your PC to get the most out of GTA V's fancy new graphics. Our hope is that we could get your permission to promote the blog using a mainpage and article page promotion module. We would put it up ourselves and take it down after a few week or a month (how long its promoted is negotiable). Is this something you think is possible? Let me know when you can by leaving me a message on my talk page!
All the best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 22:15, April 7, 2015 (UTC)

Let me just point out a few things:
- "Factual information": So. Mentioning that a location is featured in Online while the Online map is the exact same as the V one is pretty much as important as stating that the sky is blue.
- "It's not about what YOU think is unnecessary, but what the community thinks is unnecessary." Hmm.
- You said "the community". Weren't you saying "yourself"? The edit was already undone once by Monk. Because you think it's factual doesn't mean it is.
- "Not to run you off, but keep that in mind.". Yeah sure. Try to be welcoming by threatening to block someone because he hasn't got the same opinion as somebody else.
Rain - Talk 19:55, April 28, 2015 (UTC)
- That's not what I understood from your message.
Either way, while I admit I went overboard on that one, I just wanted to point out that on the second revert Alex claimed he refused to bring the debate to the talk page because it was "stupid". Not to put the blame on him specifically, but I would've started the debate on the talk page on the second revert, but instead I left an edit summary suggesting to bring that up.

Thanks for the info. For now, I want to create one for animals and one for voice actors, though is still a problem what things these need:
- For animals, the ones I got are: Name, Type, Appearances, Areas and Controllable? (for GTAV Enhanced edition).
- For voice actors, probably it should be the full name, general info and the in-game character/s who represents (i.e. Steven Ogg and Trevor Philips in this case).
- 2D vehicles are still missing an infobox, though I'm still thinking about using an original infobox or the current one for all vehicles.

Hey Smash. Could give a little look at this table? Do you think I could improve it somehow? DLVIII Talk 15:37, July 28, 2015 (UTC)
- As I explained to Monk, I tried to follow the same pattern of colors as this navbox. In the navbox, missions that feature only Trevor and Franklin as protagonists are marked with a yellow color, in my table, both the missions Grass Roots - Trevor and Grass Roots - Franklin are unlocked after Three's Company. One mission features Trevor and the other features Franklin, therefore, that section is colored yellow. The same thing applies to the purple color. Purple in the navbox, marks the missions with Michael and Trevor only, so, the sections that apply to Grass Roots - Michael and Gras Roots - Trevor are all purple. And the columns Image and Characters are both white because they apply to all three protagonists, just like the missions marked as white in the navbox. Get it? DLVIII Talk 15:59, July 28, 2015 (UTC)

Proposal[]
Hey Smashbro, I'm a bureaucrat on Encyclopedia Gamia (the video game database wiki) and our community was recently greenlighted by Staff to revive an old project which will require the combined efforts of several gaming wikis. The project aims to increase traffic flow between both wikis. Editors from a wiki (GTA, for example) would help edit pages based on their fandom on Encyclopedia Gamia. In return, Encyclopedia Gamia will provide links back to the main articles on your wiki (such as Grand Theft Auto V). In addition, a page for the Grand Theft Auto series will be maintained on Games Hub, which will also link to your wiki creating a network of sorts between EG, Games Hub, and each respective wiki. If you're, you may discuss this within the community. For more information, please view this post for more information. You can reply here or on my talk page on any wiki (preferably Encyclopedia Gamia). Thanks in advance! Zmario 10:56, August 6, 2015 (UTC)

GTA Fanon Wiki[]
Hey. As part of our affiliation with the GTA Fanon Wiki, I have been asked to try and recruit new users for them who I think would be decent at making fanon stories. They said that most of the new users that they get just mess around and have bad writing skills. I am therefore sending out this message to all of the members of staff to ask for them to give it a try and see if they like it. I notice some of you making separate pages to the side of your profile which are about your own character or even game. So yeah, give it a try, and see how you do. You never know, you could find a new hobby. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 06:52, August 19, 2015 (UTC)

Edit conflict resolution glitch[]
I was creating a redirect page to Deleted Missions (called "Deleted missions"), but I accidentally forgot to add the square brackets to specify the redirect target. On correcting my mistake, I discovered that someone (I later found out that it was you) had edited the redirect page before me. Since I was not entirely certain of what you did, I tried to add my edit over yours to make certain that my error was corrected (as well as adding a "Redirect" category), but I discovered that the copyable text at the bottom of the edit conflict resolution page - which was supposed to be my version of the page - was rendered entirely in what appeared to be H.T.M.L. code. I assumed that the code would be translated correctly when pasted into the editing area, but when I saved it, it was still an indecipherable mass of code, and I then had to edit the page again manually to fix the mess. I believe that this may be a relatively recent glitch with the editor, as I have successfully used the edit conflict resolution editor without incident. Have any other users reported this problem to you or other Staff members?
TAlim 1994 Konan T-A Lim (talk | contributions) 23:19, September 5, 2015 (UTC)
No, that was not what I was experiencing. The issue seems to be with the edit conflict resolution editor itself. I will try to explain again: after finishing my edit to fix my redirect page, I was given a notice about the conflict, and provided with a redirect to the edit conflict resolution editor, wherein I was advised to use my edit (bottom box) to assist in the edit of the current revision of the page (top box). The problem was that the bottom box contained nothing but what I believe was H.T.M.L. code. I assumed that any changes made would either be the same as mine or vandalism (I was not aware of the editor of the page at the time, as it was either not shown, or I failed to notice it), since the page was only a redirect, so I copied and pasted the code into the top box in source mode and saved it, assuming that it would translate into the correct information, but it instead ended up like this.
I am not asking you to help me with this issue: I have already fixed it, and I doubt that you can fix the bug that caused this problem yourself. I just wish to make you aware of the issue in case other editors encounter it. Another thing of note is that the edit conflict resolution editor actually worked properly a few months ago, showing me the correct wikitext, but this issue has occurred the last two times that I needed to use the edit conflict resolution editor: the first time it happened I decided not to risk copying and pasting, since the article in question would have been harder to fix if something went wrong, as indeed it did this time.

Request for Promotion[]
Good day, I was advised by Leon Davis to send my request for promotion to the position of Patroller to all the current GTA Wiki Staff. The following was copied from the Requests for Promotion page, aside from the timestamp, which is current at the time of sending.

TAlim 1994 - Patroller[]
Good day sir/madam, I have an interest in the position of Patroller on this wiki. I have been active since 25 May 2015 on this wiki, but have been editing since 18 December 2012 (on Halo Nation), though I have been most active on this wiki. I have made 511 edits (at the time of writing this message) since joining this wiki: mostly minor spelling or grammatical corrections (a few of these edits were made within a short period of time to the same page due to missed errors in my earlier edit(s)), and a relatively small number of more major page changes. I have not had any warnings and/or blocks, and as far as I am aware, only two of my edits (excluding my personal templates) to date have been undone: one due to ignorance of context, the other due to a contentious trivia article which I am currently seeking to discuss with "RainingPain17" (see my Talk page for more information regarding these reversions). I also seek to help other users where possible. On a personal note, I am keen on the idea of being an observer/arbitrator, as I intend to study to qualify as a lawyer, and I regard this as a test of sorts. I hope that you will approve. Thank you for your time.

Regarding the Willard[]
Well, I must admit that I feel stupid now: it turns out that there is another vehicle (the Kraken) with the same vehicle and manufacturer name (my compliments to Camilo Flores for pointing this out), and had someone pointed this out to me sooner, this issue would not have even begun. Obviously my trivia note is now completely invalid, and I will obviously say no more on this embarrassing issue. My apologies for any irritation that I caused by this issue.

Crime familys[]
The reason we don't put caps in the crime family titles is because it follows the official wikipedia spelling for this kind of page: Colombo crime family, Bonanno crime family, Gambino crime family and so on. DLVIII Talk 15:40, September 13, 2015 (UTC)
- If you want to put caps in all the crime family that's fine, I don't have nothing against that, but DO THE JOB PROPERLY and rename all the other crime familys too, for the sake of consistence. Or else we get only two pages out of all the crime familys with caps and when someone see this later, they will think that this two pages are named wrong and change then back.

A User[]
Hey Jamal, there is a user who is continuously violating our Image Policy after have warned two times. Can you take some immediate action?--MythHunter 007 03:33, September 27, 2015 (UTC)
RE:User[]
Unblock him, see if he will upload more images, if he still did not learn his lesson then he can be blocked for a week or so. His images are good and properly named, its just the licencing that he still haven't figure out. So I think we can give him a chance. DLVIII Talk 04:12, September 27, 2015 (UTC)
RE:Image Policy[]
All images should have a license of some sort, since all images have a source (usually directly from the internet: without permission), and no images on the wiki are 'hidden' - they're here for anyone to see. I think you're forgetting the point of a license: they're used to avoid copyright legislations, not as an item, they're used when an image is publicly used and can be seen on the internet which has been used from another person's website.
...not to mention the bad naming. -- Guy A (Junior) - That Ferrari Guy (talk) 23:14, October 1, 2015 (UTC)
It's a reminder; not a warning. It was given for a perfectly good reason, naming images on the wiki suitably is done to make navigation and file history simpler. I won't be removing the reminder. --Guy A (Junior) - That Ferrari Guy (talk) 23:25, October 1, 2015 (UTC)

Portable Infoboxes[]
Hi Smashbro8 :)
I was wondering if you guys would mind me coming in and converting your infoboxes to our new, portable format. I see there are some with a message that they shouldn't be touched, so I'd avoid those.
I would keep everything in a Draft page as a subpage of each template. Nothing would go live unless approved by an admin here.
Please let me know if you're interested!
Best regards,
Raylan13 (talk) 17:54, October 13, 2015 (UTC)
- Working through them slowly - there's some that I won't touch just because they require a lot of <navigation>, which is being avoided when there's a lot of it, at least at this juncture. I've worked through draft templates for Mobile, Town, and TV.
- Keep in mind those aren't fully complete yet - I'll go through once all are in draft form that I can manage, then add some CSS styling that should make them almost identical to the ones that currently exist ;) Raylan13 (talk) 23:27, October 21, 2015 (UTC)

Good day, I wish to re-apply for the position of Patroller. My reasons remain the same as my last application, and I only wish to add two other notes: firstly, as per the advice of other Staff members, I have attempted to take a more active role as a policy enforcer since my last application, and I have issued several Image Policy reminders to the appropriate users; secondly, I have now (at the time of writing this message) made 1,097 edits on this wiki (including the creation of one new page), approximately double the number of edits made since my previous application.

Please, for everyone's sake, leave because you're bored of GTA. You don't need to know about GTA or play it to edit here. And I really enjoy your presence, and you've done so much here buddy.

RE: Issue[]
Well, we had a misunderstanding because Monk was mad at me due to my edits and I was kinda upset by that, after his message about the Slamvan. At first, I thought that my edits are not as expected for him and I'm annoying with the summaries, so I ended up upset.
Of course, Monk asked me to talk via Hangouts. He was very sorry for that and later, he explained what's the cause of his behaviour (I know, it's not an easy thing for him, and I'm really sorry for his girlfriend). So yeah, I considered leaving this wiki, but after that, I guess I can stay here. However, I feel a bit guilty for what I said to him via Hangouts and, well, I didn't mean to say that. And don't worry being nosy or rude, I'm not that upset to not answer anyone else.
BTW, good to see you around here. Sorry for any problem I've caused here. -- SWAT Cam F 16:04, January 21, 2016 (UTC)

Regarding your User page categories[]
Hello Jamal, I have noticed that your User page is still on the "Administrator" category, in addition to the "Bureaucrats" category. Unless this was intentional, you might wish to remove your page from the "Administrator" category, since it is unnecessary to have your User page in both categories. I would remove the category myself, but I have refrained from doing so, as you have explicitly stated that no-one can edit your User page without your permission.
TAlim 1994 - Konan T-A Lim (talk | contributions) 11:52, March 3, 2016 (UTC)
- You are welcome Jamal, I am happy to help. Just in case you were not already aware, there is no longer any need to add your User page to the "Bureaucrats" category, as the "Bureaucrat" template now automatically adds the pages it is displayed on to the category.
- TAlim 1994 - Konan T-A Lim (talk | contributions) 08:14, March 15, 2016 (UTC)
- By the way, while on this matter, do you think that it is better for only the User pages of Staff members to be added to the appropriate categories, or do you think that the Talk pages of Staff members who add the Staff templates to their Talk pages (such as Monk and myself) should be added as well? Personally, I am of the opinion that only the User pages of Staff members should be added (not Talk pages), and if you agree with me, I propose adding a parser function to make the templates only add pages which are in the "User" namespace to the appropriate categories (which I can do if you do not know how to). I am going to propose this change on the Community Noticeboard, so please cast your vote there when you can.
