RE:Controls
I think you may have read the IV controls page by accident (I did that mistake too lol), R* Support doesn't have a list of controls for V there - or at least it didn't the last time I checked.

Currently re-arranging the table with sections from PC version (console controls will be included with more specific descriptions).

btw something seems to be wrong with your signature - it's trying to create a redirect. ­ 21:33, August 25, 2015 (UTC)

Image naming
So I changed the filenames (on my PC) of the images I added to the Nuclear Waste section earlier (eg. NuclearWasteBarrel16-GTAV.jpg). How do I go about changing them on the Wiki page? Is it easier to just delete them and reupload?

 * See here for help, an Admin has already renamed your current images, but before you add any more images, learn how to name images properly via this tutorial.

Hi, just wanted to apologise for not tagging those images correctly, I forgot to, but I can assure you that the pictures I've uploaded were screenshotted by myself in-game, in future I'll make sure people know that and I will use proper names and proper Licences. Sorry for any inconvenience I've caused. Matthew2846 (talk) 12:27, August 29, 2015 (UTC)

Hey Monk. Calm your tone down a bit in your edit summaries. You sound like you are mad at the world. I understand if personal issues are getting to you, but don't express it on the wiki. Thanks man. 12:51, August 29, 2015 (UTC) Smashbro8

Pump shotgun
I did test it in-game several times, and I always got ~70 RPM, far from being 120 (the latter would mean two shots per second, like the AA-12 from TBoGT). Just check it in-game (or on YouTube) if you're not convinced. 15:02, August 31, 2015 (UTC)

Re: Willard
May I ask why "this is the only" trivia facts are being avoided? Personally I see no reason to avoid them, as they are sometimes notable. Could I please re-add my note?

TAlim 1994 Konan T-A Lim (talk) 14:45, September 1, 2015 (UTC)

Due to your lack of response, and because of the fact that you yourself have stated that my trivia note was correct, I am going to take the liberty of reverting your edit to restore my note. Thank you.

EDIT: Sorry, I only just read your reply. I will ask the person whom you have directed me to.

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.

P.S.: I apologize if you have already responded on the Requests for Promotion page; this message was sent to all members of the GTA Wiki Staff, regardless of if they have already voted.

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.

Welcome back Monk, I am glad to see that you are recovering well following your accident. Your brother has told me quite a lot about you, and despite some rocky beginnings, we have become good acquaintances. Considering you and your brother share the same Xbox LIVE account, perhaps I may play Grand Theft Auto V with you on the Xbox 360/One sometime? I wish you all the best on the road to recovery.

The Ghost of Mount Gordo in Grand Theft Auto Online
Hello Monk, I noticed that you posted a picture of the ghost of Jolene Cranley-Evans appearing in Grand Theft Auto Online: is this a glitch, or is the Easter Egg also meant to appear in GTA Online as well as Story Mode?

Lotus Stripped Down

Re:T20
Whoa, hold on a second, why the aggro? I wasn't looking to aggravate you. What you wrote on the Osiris page made no sense, grammatically. A car can't have "the same engine" as another "to a lesser extent", the engine's either the same or it isn't. I wasn't able to work out what you were trying to say from what you did write, so I couldn't reword it myself (otherwise I would have done). There's no need to get aggressive over it. 15:06, October 8, 2015 (UTC)


 * Well you certainly came across as quite belligerent . And I don't see why I should have to ask permission before making an edit... I've had edits I've made reverted without anyone coming to me first and asking, that's just part of wiki. It's then my job to explain why I think I was right to begin with. I'd certainly never say they were being rude just for making a change to try and improve things. As for what you'd written, I took it to say 'the engine is the same in the T20, except it isn't', which is why I removed the bit about the T20 - if it isn't the same, then it isn't the same and doesn't belong on the list. How was I supposed to know you were talking specifically about exhausts?


 * Anyway, it's irrelevant. I certainly don't want to start a fight and it's sorted now, so I don't see why it should be an issue any longer. 07:51, October 9, 2015 (UTC)

Vehicle top speeds correction
The following is a list of vehicles from the Sports/Super Class that I did not correct the top speeds of due to the lack of a "handling.dat" tag, because I have difficulty reading the "handling.dat" file.

About me
Yes. I know I shouldn't have acted so hastily towards you. I apologize for that. I was just angry. Could you please remove the "Tested" portion of the GTA Overview template? That was the main reason why I wanted this theory here. I just did what the Overview said, Tested. It seemed right at the time. It makes sense to remove since the game data is just "Observed."

 * Hey, so I'm going to be continuing today. I'll let you know when I'll be ready, then you can choose some car classes to work from.

However, please try to be ready by around 2:00 PM GMT/UTC, as by that time it will be 1:00 AM AEDST (Australian Eastern Daylight Saving Time) (my time zone), and I may need to log off, as I promised one of my Xbox LIVE friends that I would play Destiny with him in the morning, and I do not wish to oversleep.

Hey Monk. What's up? I simply noticed that you deleted the Crusader's trivia about the color. Probably I did the mistake of referencing in the wrong area. But I saw a red line uh... on the inner side... of where the window is placed... and in the cargo compartment... "walls". I don't know. It just need further revisions to get it clear. I'm too stupid to give a specific name for that, but one can see colored lines in that, but not sure how to name it. That's all. Sorry. SWAT Cam F    00:46, October 11, 2015 (UTC)

Fixed box position suggestion.
Hello Monk, I have a friendly suggestion for you: perhaps it would be better if you were to move the fixed box indicating the times you will not be online from the bottom-left to the bottom-right side of the screen, as its current position covers a significant part of the text on the screen, making it harder for users to read your Talk page. Of course, you do not have to do this if you do not want to; I am merely suggesting.

Infobox Issue
Hello Monk, I was wondering if you could explain to me the issue with my edits on "Waste the Wife" How was I compacting the infoboxes? When I made the edits to that article, I was simply changing the wording in the infobox as well as in the article. I was also using VisualEditor rather than Classic and when I was editing the infobox information, the fields were tightly compacted making it hard to edit. Is this the issue you are referring to? Thanks! Tyler george6 (talk) 16:39, October 13, 2015 (UTC)


 * Basically, when you edit in Visual Editor, and double click on infoboxes to enter their fields, the fields in the source editor automatically compact, without you noticing.


 * If you edit in Source Editor (my clicking the arrow next to "Edit" and clicking "Classic Editor", then clicking "Source" at the top right, you can edit the fields of the infobox and not automatically compact them; source editor prevents this. I always use Classic;Source editor to edit Infobox fields, that way, I avoid compacting the fields which makes them more cluttered.
