New Articles Template
Hi Matrex, most of the articles I created about a year or 6 months ago still have the template so I was wondering if I have to remove it from all those articles or it will be removed by a staff member in some time till they feel the article is completed...I don't know the rules for it so it would be great if you can provide me some info regarding it.

Also I had a doubt as why Shiny Wasabi Kitty Claw doesn't have its own page and is under Princess Robot Bubblegum page? I know that it has some stuff related but even then I do feel it should have a separate page.

Also I wanted to ask the recent pages I created/edited are proper now or still I miss some things out? Thanks and Regards Steve316 (talk) 04:46, 8 January 2021 (UTC)


 * If the article has the appropriate sections (infobox, description...), and you feel like it contains enough info, the template can be removed. Your latest articles are good.


 * I agree that the claw machine article should have its own page instead of a section; the PRB page can link to it. It was inserted into that article when it was originally released and wasn't really discussed since. Matrexpingvin (talk) 08:48, 8 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Okay I will check these old articles of mine and see which ones I can remove the template from. Thank you :) Steve316 (talk) 15:36, 8 January 2021 (UTC)

Deleting Continuously
I'm really hard on understand why you deleting my edits continuously without neither reason nor description. I allways seeing your actions on my edits, I dont want you to stop this, I just want to you write an explain that why are you disrupt my edits; write such an explain which I cannot appeal to, whenever you want to delete my adds. MasplayTR Ismail (talk) 12:35, 10 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Mostly for the awful grammar and spelling added to the article, not to mention the reduction of grammar quality of sentences already present. Other than that, the info you added to Old Reece's page seems unnecessary. ... Unfortunately, during my writing of this message, you have continued to edit war with another staff member, so you're now blocked for 1 month. Matrexpingvin (talk) 13:07, 10 January 2021 (UTC)

File Name Correction
thanks for giving the rule for naming files when uploading. unfortunately i couldn't find way to rename the ones i uploaded. do i need to reupload it again?


 * The "Move" option can be found in the drop-down menu next to the "Edit" button when you're on the file's page. As well as a correct name, each image uploaded to the wiki must be supplied with a licence, which can be chosen on this page near the bottom. I have done this for you this time, but please follow this for any subsequent uploads. Also, please make sure to sign your talk page message by typing four tildes ( ~ ) at the end of your messages, thank you. Matrexpingvin (talk) 11:58, 15 February 2021 (UTC)

Sound Player Problem
There seems to be an issue with the sound players on almost all character pages. They are centered, which overlaps the infoboxes. -- XZippy (talk) 23:56, 18 February 2021 (UTC)

Talk Page Posts Constantly Being Removed?
Hi! I'm just stopping by to ask you if there's any reason kiwismurf keeps reverting my edits on geomodelrailroader's talk page regarding the source of one of his edits. It seems kinda intimidating, especially how he doesn't tell me anything about it in return. I'm hoping he doesn't ban me for no good reason because of it - Universetwisters (talk) 23:32, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Why Did You Revert My Edit?
The bits I deleted were completely unsubstantiated and grasping at straws. Even being generous, they made no sense.


 * Hello. I personally see some influence from the Cayenne, which is why I reverted your edit. I left out the Macan part and also removed the Mitsubishi Pajero influence, which I agree was too speculative. Matrexpingvin (talk) 10:54, 7 March 2021 (UTC)


 * The Rocoto is a compact SUV whereas the Cayenne is a mid-size, so the Macan would make more sense but I don't see any Porsche influence anyway, except maybe the sloped hood. In any case, it's an Obey, so to say it's primarily based on the Porsche and only compare the size of it to the Q5 doesn't make sense. It has the slimmer headlights of the Q5 and chrome strip between the taillights. Cosmicdustjunkie (talk) 03:25, 8 March 2021 (UTC)

What's With the Condescension?
I get that you don't agree with there being any non-conventional twists in video games, or my opinions, all of that is fine. But you can't condescend me, or anyone else. You're saying that Kate McReary's post-death date is a glitch, but you do not have any proof for that, the same as I don't have any proof for it being intentional. That being said, all wikia's and fandoms are about collecting and presenting factual information. By outright stating something as glitch without having proof, you are sullying the accuracy of said information. Now you told me not to revert it again, so I won't. But you do realize that you are actively spreading misinformation, right? If you're not, go ahead, cite sources, prove that it is is factual and that'll be the end of it. But you can't, because there is no such source. And if you can't be factual, you shouldn't be the mod of this or any fandom.

Now if you still choose to actively spread misinformation, I would be glad to start my own GTA fandom where every single piece of information is factual. Just don't think you can condescend me with "GTA Myths will gladly take you" and get away with it. You're an administrator, that doesn't give you the right to engage in public displays of disrespect and indecency.

Stretch (Character)
OK, I'll agree with you that this is enough adjectives.

I Got Something to Reveal
May I do? ismail (talk) 17:12, 25 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I am looking forward to this great revelation. Matrexpingvin (talk) 17:28, 25 May 2021 (UTC)


 * I am MasplayTR Ismail, which you banned four months ago and I assure you that I know this wiki much influent this time. The reason why I wanted to found this account was, you know, kinda "back-to-square-one" stuff. I'm learning what could I do, and you can help me just saying your valid reason whenever you revert my edits. Therefore, I really don't know what we'd do about my older account. Shall you unban that and put something about I moved my account, or simply a redirect to my current account? I don't even remember that's password or other stuff for real. I'm really sorry for my disturbance. ismail (talk) 17:30, 25 May 2021 (UTC)

"What Didn't Happen" Policy
You reverted my edit citing this policy, but I was literally deleting unfounded speculation on the basis of it violating that very policy. A European market vehicle was cited as an inspiration when the game is set in the USA. It's based on something that didn't happen (the game being set in another country). Furthermore, only my description of my edit mentioned what was missing compared to the real life counterpart (and specifically in relation to the speculative assertion I was arguing against). The "what didn't happen" rule only says it applies to "a page's description". It would make no sense to apply that to a justification for an edit, or else one could not remove even the most absurdly speculative edits because that would require comparison to the real life counterpart. If that were the case, how could you justify removing somebody's edit claiming that the Patriot is based on a Mini Cooper if you can't point out that a Mini Cooper has multiple differences from the Patriot in your explanation?

And as far as the edit itself, it's just Occam's Razor; what makes more sense, that they included an amalgamation of foreign market cars for a game set in NYC, or that the Dinka-branded midsize sedan is the top-selling car in America at the time, the Honda Accord? Not to mention that it just plain does not look anything like the Peugeot and more closely resembles the US-market Accord than the Euro-spec anyway? And that's to say nothing of the ridiculous Integra comparison. I really don't understand why you're so averse to improving some of the speculation on design influences around here.

 * "I was literally deleting unfounded speculation on the basis of it violating that very policy. A European market vehicle was cited as an inspiration when the game is set in the USA. It's based on something that didn't happen (the game being set in another country)." No. The vehicle may be a European market vehicle in real life, but this is exactly what the policy (also) deals with: there is no in-game proof that this car model shouldn't be present in the USA. It would be going against this policy to say that a car couldn't be based on a European market vehicle just because the game is set elsewhere.


 * That being said, since the models you listed are more probable candidates for inspiration, I have decided to reinstate your edit to the page. Matrexpingvin (talk) 12:00, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

Hello
Hello, I was wondering how you long you've been serving as an admin on this wiki, and how did you get others to join?

Contracts
I'm currently working on a sketch for "The Superdollar Deal" and I'm wondering if the set up missions should be split into their own articles or should they stay in the same article as the finale? I feel keeping the information in the same article would be the best for these missions so the reader does not have to click too many links but it'll be fine split up if needed. Thank you.


 * - Question answered here.

Edits
Is there something wrong with my edits? I've been editing certain pages but they keep getting removed.

Sorry, Sir
It's because English isn't my native language and I don't really remember differences between UK and US variants of English.Friedlander (talk) 08:00, 14 October 2021 (UTC)Friedlander

Stop
You need to stop undoing my edits because I'm correct and I played the game and it said you have to steal the Velum, motherfucking so I don't know why you're undoing my edits when I provided proof.

Also, you can't block me because I haven't broken the rules. I am trying to help you fix this website and you are treating me very ugly.


 * As stated by Kamikatsu on both the edit summary and your talk page, the plane is a Velum 5 - S E A T E R and not the standard Velum. You're trying to "fix this website" by inserting incorrect information. Matrexpingvin (talk) 17:09, 27 October 2021 (UTC)

Vehicle Modification Images
I hear you've recently uploaded images for visual modifications on older GTA V/GTA Online vehicles from as early as when it was first released in 2013. But there are still several vehicle pages without pics for such modifications, especially for motorcycles such as the Daemon (both variants), Faggio Mod, Oppressor Mk II, etc.

So I was wondering, do you still have the time to take those images in-game?

Muts0rt1ma (talk) 07:27, 10 November 2021 (UTC)


 * My intention with those uploads was to fill in any missing modification images on car pages, which has now been done. I may come back to motorbike tables after I finish with missing car livery images. Matrexpingvin (talk) 23:59, 10 November 2021 (UTC)

Ransom
I've read about both Love's Disappearance and Ransom on GTA 3 and both of them are short. I don't know why it got removed.

Differences between US English and UK English
Is it really that big of a deal that you have to warn users/editors that they can't change ONE WORD on a wiki page to either the US English spelling or the UK English spelling? As the wiki policy states: "The wiki policy is that we accept both English UK and English US spelling, since the game is developed in the UK and set in the US. We don't need to specify both spellings on any articles, nor do we encourage editors to "correct" any spelling from one correct version to another."

If both UK English and US English spelling are accepted (key word: accepted), why are you so insistent on having to constantly post on my Talk page about this subject? It's simply a matter of semantics, and if you're so bothered by one word having its spelling changed, then why not just change it back? I rarely revisit the same wiki page twice, so you can simply change that word's spelling back to what it originally was, rather than continuously being a nuisance when the rest of the editing I do is helpful (fixing grammar and spelling).

According to the GTA Wiki:Blocking Policy, "Blocking is the method by which Bureaucrats and Administrators may prevent users from editing on GTA Wiki. Blocks are used to prevent damage or disruption to the wiki, and not to punish users", but I'm beginning to suspect that you're specifically targeting me. If you do end up blocking me from the GTA Wiki, it's most likely to punish me, which is the antithesis of Blocking. That part should probably be taken out, just sayin'.

Again, if you see that a word's spelling was changed from UK English to US English, simply revert that change. No need to make a big fuss about it.
