Warrener
Please stop adding that the Warrener is a replacement for the Esperanto. They're completely different cars made by completely different manufacturers. Not to mention the Warrener is clearly a much older car. The only similarity is that they're four-doors.-- Leigh Burne  ( Talk ) ( Contribs ) 18:25, June 20, 2014 (UTC)


 * Simply being boxy in design isn't enough. One is a heavy, cumbersome American saloon, the other is a lightweight, sporty Japanese (or European, according to the in-game description) one. And again, you've totally overlooked the fact the Warrener is clearly a far older car. If you're trying to say that the development team intended it to be a replacement in terms of game mechanics, I hope you have some proof to back that up.


 * Oh, and please sign your posts on other people's talk pages.-- Leigh Burne  ( Talk ) ( Contribs ) 08:16, June 23, 2014 (UTC)

Crews
Crews aren't canon so they shouldn't be a main page article. You can however creat a crew page, just add "Crews/" before the name of the crew when creating the article - so it would be named "Crews/Domination". Tom Talk 22:13, June 21, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Deuteragonist Trivia
Who exactly is looking for quick information on deuteragonists? Who is thinking "I wonder how many female deuteragonists there are?". If they want to know they can skim the page; it won't take any longer. If we just list every obvious fact then the trivia sections become excessively long and redundant. I understand that trivia is essentially just obvious facts by definition, but that's not the definition we use on the Wiki; for the aforementioned reason. It's known as 'sky is blue' trivia, and it should be avoided. Tom Talk 23:16, September 20, 2014 (UTC)

Military use of the Bodhi
The Southernsanandreassuperautos.com website states that the military used to use the Bodhi. Here is the exact quote, so, the proof.

"The Canis Bodhi has traveled the well-trodden path from military to redneck to hipster. This 'gently used' model is the definition of retro chic; every stain on the seat tells a story." - from the Bodhi page.

Bodhi
Trevor owning a Bodhi is not enough to say the Bodhi was possibly used by the Canadian military. If he was Russian would that mean the Bodhi was a Russian Military vehicle ? RainingPain17 ( Talk -  Edits  -  Blogs ) 16:05, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

I just posted something on the trivia section. That part is more keen to speculation like this. Sorry for putting it in the vehicles section. Mortsnarg (talk) 16:16, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

I reverted it. Why couldn't the Bodhi be a US military vehicle ? Yes, it is a beater, but as the description mentions it is used by rednecks, who usually drive beater vehicles as depicted in GTA V. Plus, the vehicle on which it is based on, the Kaiser Jeep M715, was a U.S. military vehicle. And also, you should rather not answer on your talk page because I could miss your answer. RainingPain17 ( Talk -  Edits  -  Blogs ) 16:20, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

As I'd like it to be settled, here's a couple of reasons of why I don't believe it is related to Canada. RainingPain17 ( Talk -  Edits  -  Blogs ) 16:33, October 12, 2014 (UTC)
 * 1) (and most important) The Kaiser Jeep M715 was manufactured in America for the U.S. Army
 * 2) Trevor was in the Air Force, therefore owning a ground vehicle is unlikely.
 * 3) The website where it can be bought is American, and it only mentions "military", which means either it was used by the U.S. Army or by several military forces.

As I'd like to point out:

1. Just because it was developed in real life by an an American manufacturer does not mean that it is developed in the game by one. The Miljet, for example, is based on the Bombardier CRJ200 which is a Canadian plane developed in Quebec, Canada. In the game however it's made for the U.S. Military. (the Air Force) Just because it's made in real life by or for a nation doesn't mean it's representing the same nation in the game.

2. Trevor was still a part of the Canadian military as a whole (and the Air Force probably wouldn't be STRICTLY air vehicles.) When he was discharged it's likely that they would given him some compensation (or maybe he stole one) so the Bodhi would make a conveniant car to give or to steal as it would be a Canadian military car and it would be common around Canada.

3. It is American but it has different vehicles from different parts of the globe, such as the Kalahari from France, the Panto from general Europe but mainly France and the Pigalle from Italy so the fact that the website is American doesn't mean that the cars sold on it are. Lastly, when it says military, that can mean ANY military. It isn't just exclusive to the U.S. military. That's my point.

I can understand why you think what you think. Hopefully you'll allow me to add that piece of trivia on the Military page and maybe the Bodhi page Mortsnarg (talk) 17:14, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

In that case leave the Military page and add it only to the Bodhi page. RainingPain17 ( Talk -  Edits  -  Blogs ) 17:19, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Okay, i'm glad to see that we could work this out. Mortsnarg (talk) 17:21, October 12, 2014 (UTC)

Links
I removed the links because there's no reason the word "new" should link to the Duke O'Death, and the word "vehicles" to the Seaplane. It should be obvious what a link directs to, not just some random word that doesn't have any association.-- Leigh Burne  ( Talk ) ( Contribs ) 17:52, November 16, 2014 (UTC)
 * About that; the linking is unnecessary because these two vehicles are not the only vehicles that are unlocked through challenges. The Go Go Monkey Blista and the stock cars must be unlocked as well. 21:42, November 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * I know that. The reason I linked the the Duke O' Death and Dodo Seaplane there was because it wasn't linked anywhere else, unlike the Go Go Monkey Blista and stock cars. It is unlocked through challenges, as Rockstar stated, but what you do in these challenges is unknown so it would be best just to put it into an already existing category for both of them until the challenges are revealed. Mortsnarg (talk) 22:09, November 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * I see the page has now been altered to a more acceptable format, so any response I had is now moot.-- Leigh Burne  ( Talk ) ( Contribs ) 08:52, November 17, 2014 (UTC)
 * The linking is still incorrect. Links for the Duke O'Death and the Dodo are provided in the list of new vehicles, and these two are not the only vehicles to be unlocked through challenges; the Go Go Monkey Blista requires a mission to be completed first, the stock cars must be unlocked through stock car racing as well, the Kraken requires also a mission to be completed. I put it back to Leigh Burne's version, and I provided enough reasons to remove the two links. 11:58, November 17, 2014 (UTC)

Vandalism
 Although everyone is welcome to make constructive contributions here, at least one of your recent edits appears to be an act of vandalism, and has been reverted. If you continue to vandalize any pages, you will receive a block for an appropriate amount of time. Please refrain from doing so in the future. Thank you.
 * The fact that this user is a vandal does not allow you to post insults on his user page. 17:23, November 22, 2014 (UTC)

Rename
As users, all we can do is add the move template (like I did) and draw it to the attention of an admin or beurocrat who can do the rename. Or we can recreate the page with the new name and redirect the old one to the correct name if we feel the incorrect name may still be useful. smurfy (coms) 04:32, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

I think we should get the attention of an admin to rename the page page. Recreating seems like to much extra work when we can just rename it. Mortsnarg (talk) 05:57, December 10, 2014 (UTC)

Image Policy
Hey Morts, I just saw a picture that you uploaded in the Sandy Shores article, I know i'm not a patroller and anything else, but you should have cropped the picture to remove those black stripes and add a license to the picture, last but not least, the most adequate name for the picture is "Sandy-Shores-GTAV-Snowy.jpg" ( talk ) 22:45, December 24, 2014 (UTC)

I just removed it, not only for the problems above but it should have been added to the gallery, not left "in-line" with text at the top of the page. Re-do it with the fixes Andre suggests, re-upload with a proper name and licence and put it in the gallery and all will be good. smurfy (coms) 22:58, December 24, 2014 (UTC)

Thanks for your concerns, guys. I orignally wanted to just add it too the gallery as a contrast to the regular Sandy Shores and I took the pic on Snapmatic, downloaded it to my computer from my Social Club and tried to upload it to the gallery but screwed up somewhere in the process. I got it into the wiki but had trouble moving it. I saw a slight shift in the page format, but thought nothing of it. Later, I went through the page and saw the picture there beneath the infobox and I clicked on it, but none of the options said 'delete'. To prevent further problems and let someone who knew what they were doing delete/move it which is what you guys did. I'm not sure how to upload something to the gallery properly and how to get a pic deleted either. If one of you two or someone you know could help me with this, that would be great. Happy Holidays!Mortsnarg (talk) 00:55, December 25, 2014 (UTC)


 * Sorry I missed this reply over the holidays. I have had some trouble with the gallery tools myself in the past, particularly the lack of functionality to add the licence when adding an image to an existing gallery. You have 2 options for gallery modifications to easily comply with the image policy.

1. Use the "Add a photo to this gallery" button and add the licence later. Runs the risk of it being removed while you are adding the licence.
 * 1. Upload the image
 * 2. Save the page
 * 3. Edit the source code of the image page to add the licence
 * == Licensing ==
 * 4. Save the image page
 * 4. Save the image page

2. Use the source editor to add a photo to the page and move it into the gallery. The way I do it.
 * 1. Select the source editor
 * 2. Use the Add Photo option to upload and add the licence and caption using the GUI - you will see something like:  name-GTAV-description.png in your source editor.
 * 3. Edit the source code to remove the file prefix and thumbnail to make it name-GTAV-description.png|Caption
 * 4. Cut and paste the edited image string into the gallery


 * Hope that helps. smurfy (coms) 00:44, January 6, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
I deleted parts of the trivia section because I consider these are not trivial.

Here's what Tom wrote you a while ago:

"Who exactly is looking for quick information on deuteragonists? Who is thinking "I wonder how many female deuteragonists there are?". If they want to know they can skim the page; it won't take any longer. If we just list every obvious fact then the trivia sections become excessively long and redundant. I understand that trivia is essentially just obvious facts by definition, but that's not the definition we use on the Wiki; for the aforementioned reason. It's known as 'sky is blue' trivia, and it should be avoided.".

I was deleting this 'sky is blue'. Facts such as "A is the only B that C", "A is the first/only B to C" are sky is blue. 16:05, December 25, 2014 (UTC)
 * You can re-add your trivia point, but try avoiding the "the only to" part. Just say "Roman has been mentioned in every game of the HD Universe [...]". The "only" part is uninteresting to me. 16:58, December 25, 2014 (UTC)

Bodhi revisited
See the talk page of the article for my reasons for agreeing with Jspyster1's removal of your trivia note. smurfy (coms) 04:30, January 6, 2015 (UTC)

Solomon Richards quote.
I gave the good reason in my initial revert. This quote has been seen to be appropriate  by every other editor who has touched the page since  it was originally added in November 2013. There was no need to change it. smurfy (coms) 23:47, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

If you want to continue to discuss changing it, open a discussion on the talk page. Do not edit war. smurfy (coms) 23:56, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

Andreas
See the Talk page, this has already been ruled out here. smurfy (coms) 03:36, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

No. We don't need to put it in the article. How many other pieces of "some people think this but it isn't true" do you think there will be. It is irrelevant. smurfy (coms) 04:03, January 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Good work starting an article talk discussion about it. I've just noticed how many of your edits I've reverted lately. Sorry if it seems like I've been picking on you, it's certainly not intentional. You are making a lot of good edits to go outweigh the ones we have disagreed on. So keep it up.  smurfy (coms) 05:52, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Quick Q?
On the right hand side of the page in the tab Add Features and Media it says Table. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 17:03, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
 * What browser do you use? I personally recommend Google Chrome as that is what I use and it is fine. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 17:30, January 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * You are probably using the new visual editor. The right side toolbox is different in that editor

Although the standard table you get from the insert table tool will look different, the other tables you see often use css formatting styles, eg wikitable. To get them looking alike, you'll need to view the source code of the page as you are editing and copy & paste the code from the vehicles table. Hope this helps. smurfy (coms) 20:07, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Thank you guys! This really did help. Mortsnarg (talk) 23:14, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Most editors learn how to do something just by copying existing stuff and then tweaking it. e.g. look at the source of The Last Team Standing Update, to get this table: The source code looks like:

The wikitable class pre-sets the formatting of the table so you don't need to worry about background colours, widths etc.

If you are trying something completely new to you and are worried about breaking a page or looking like a vandal, then create a sandbox under your own user page to test and learn. e.g. User:Mortsnarg/Sandbox smurfy (coms) 00:09, January 16, 2015 (UTC)

Thank You Smurfy! Mortsnarg (talk) 00:15, January 16, 2015 (UTC)

Edit warring
You are on the verge of edit warring on the Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories page. Edit warring is against our policy. Don't do it again. Messi1983 (talk) 19:57, January 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * After leaving the message you reverted another user's edit on the same page again which makes it edit warring. Messi1983 (talk) 20:18, January 25, 2015 (UTC)


 * I want to thank you for at least leaving a message about it on the talk page. It's a shame that most users would not do that and just go ahead and revert edits anyway and start an edit war. Messi1983 (talk) 20:27, January 25, 2015 (UTC)
 * You are close to edit warring again. Also, do not post long rants on edits summaries. If you want to take the matter up with the user, post to their talk page. Leo68 (talk) 04:46, January 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * I wasn't edit warring. I was explaining how the situation could have been handled better. I don't think it needed a post on either the articles or Smurfnz' talk page and I would have done so if it was needed. If the edit or any of the edits I think need to be kept are reverted more than once I would be sure to go to the users talk page, or better yet, go on the articles talk page to see what other people have to say about it. Mortsnarg (talk) 05:02, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

Split links in one word
Like this: "for seventh and eighth generation consoles" are a really terrible idea and should be avoided. smurfy (coms) 04:25, January 28, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I know it has been common, doesn't mean it's right. As for that trailing empty trivia section, when I'm creating bulk pages from a template, I will quite often leave empty sections to ensure the template layout is continued by future editors. It can be deleted on subsequent edits, especially if it's unlikely to be used in the future.  smurfy (coms) 06:48, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

Deuteragonist
I stand corrected. Apologies. SJWalker (talk) 01:23, January 31, 2015 (UTC)

It's all good man, just please research something before removing. Mortsnarg (talk) 01:28, January 31, 2015 (UTC)

The reason I deleted it was because Lester is not listed as a deuteragonist on his page, and I'm sure I had looked at the deuteragonist page previously and not seen his name. SJWalker (talk) 01:30, January 31, 2015 (UTC)

Los Angeles
Good spot with the song on the USA page. When I cleaned the GTA World page, I had to remove a lot of posts mentioning songs, with the following sentence being "This is strange because the GTA counterpart is X". It isn't strange.

Creating pages issue

Thank you! I just created the article. It's the "Yucca Motel" one. If you could help out on it with the picture and all, that would be excellent. Mortsnarg (talk) 07:35, February 15, 2015 (UTC)

Nevermind about the picture, I got it taken care of. Mortsnarg (talk) 07:56, February 15, 2015 (UTC)

I have surveyed that location in the past, I didn't actually feel the lone sign warranted a page. Your beta speculation is way off and will continue to be removed. smurfy (coms) 08:26, February 15, 2015 (UTC)

Alright. I stopped reverting it back because I didn't want to start an edit war and I'm a bit tired of getting into debates about really trivial, unnecassary things. The reason I created a page about it was because it's interesting to me that there would be a motel sign, but no actual motel. There are more pointless pages on the wiki, this at least had some sort of unusual factor to it that would make the need to have the page created. Mortsnarg (talk) 08:37, February 15, 2015 (UTC)

I'm not suggesting the page is unnecessary, just that I didn't think it was worth my time to document and create. It was when I was doing the Sandy Shores derelict motel research and I remember looking for real-life Salton Sea locations at the time to see what the Yucca Motel may have been based on. smurfy (coms) 08:56, February 15, 2015 (UTC)

Well, it was worth my time. I've always loved the Stab City part of the map, and making a page on something that I've personally taken an interest into, is good and I learned a thing or two about the name and what it was based on. BTW, did you find any real-life inspirations? Mortsnarg (talk) 18:08, February 15, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Page Creation
Sure, let me know what it is called and also its location in-game so I can gather images of the motel. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 09:17, February 15, 2015 (UTC)

It's alright, Vaultboy. I already got the page created and all that's needed is a picture of the parking lot from the little factory or hill across the street. Mortsnarg (talk) 18:03, February 15, 2015 (UTC)

Dave Norton
Yep, that looks better thanks. Sorry for me being pedantic, it's just I personally think having a "A is the only B that C" trivia post is not trivial as it is not an "interesting" fact, just an obvious one. On some articles I've seen, such as safehouses, most of the trivia sections was full of descriptions and amenities in the various safehouses, which could easily have been integrated into the main article and then you're left with one or two "standalone" trivia facts. I personally find trivia sections interesting, but in my opinion a trivia section containing two or three interesting facts is better than one full of "A-B-C" or "sky is blue" facts. I agree that Rain was too hasty to remove the post, but I think it was the "Dave is the only..." opening that swayed him. If that sort of thing can be avoided in future by us all then things should be fine. SJWalker (talk) 00:39, February 18, 2015 (UTC)

No worries. I have no problem with you or your edits, as your edits are generally good. If it's seemed I've "picked on" you in the past (like on the GTA Songs Wiki) I can assure you it's nothing personal and I apologise for it. I've been guilty in the past of posting "A-B-C" posts. I'm always on the lookout but if you see any glitches in the trivia section, then can you create a seperate "glitches" heading please? That way the trivia sections become less cluttered. In the past I've seen some trivia posts which contain events which occur after a certain mission, which isn't trivial since it's a continuation of the story. One request I will make though, is that I have noticed you writing in the first person on a couple of pages. When writing on the wiki can you please write in the third person (I've been guilty in the past too). I haven't seen you write in the first person for a long while but it's just a reminder.

Dead Wiki
Hey Morts, I saw you talking to Smashbro on how dead this wiki is feeling, you said that The Terminator wiki had its last edit in about 4 days ago. Ha! I'm the admin of the Scarface wiki, when I got there, the last edit was 6 months ago, I was the only editor there until october or november, when Ultimate94ninja and two other guys came there to do something. ( talk / stalk / blog ) 01:07, February 18, 2015 (UTC)

Lol, there's no wiki that's more dead than my Wii Wiki and Driv3r Wiki (Driver 3 Wiki). On both wikis, I am the only active contributor. 01:14, February 18, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

Also, the Red Dead Wiki is literally Red and Dead xD ( talk / stalk / blog ) 01:19, February 18, 2015 (UTC)

Jesus.... I remember a while back (when I started looking around on Wikia) I went to the Breaking Bad Wiki and saw the last edit at 24 hours. I remember being so used to the kind of editing and open-ness that this wiki has, and seeing one with a day since the last edit surprising me. About the Red Dead Wiki; I remember going there on a regular basis. This was before I joined Wikia, the summer of 2013. I started playing RDR way too much and it got to a point were that was all I would do. So I went on the wiki as a source of info about the game and I didn't notice the "recent edits" or anything like that. I bet if and when Rockstar comes out with a new RDR game, the wiki will be actually active again. Mortsnarg (talk) 01:28, February 18, 2015 (UTC)

Kuruma image
There is no dispute the Kuruma is going to be in the Heists update and it has been oficially named by Rockstar. What has not been released is the ability to take the type of images that have now been removed. They were proper "posed" front quarter views of the helicopeter and Kuruma. smurfy (coms) 08:09, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

I know. I saw the pictures. The thing that I was mentioning was that it technically appeared in the Heist Trailer in the background, behind the Heist Planner (source). I know that you can't post images of unreleased content onto pages. What I'm saying is that the images seen were technically in the Heist Trailer, just at a lower resulution. Like I said on Rains page as a closing statement, the page should be left as is  (except from grammatical errors) until any official announcement or release from Rockstar.

Miami Vice
Just noticed "Watch through all of Miami Vice" in your to-do list... Miami Vice rules! 08:57, February 26, 2015 (UTC)


 * The pilot's good, but honestly I found the series took a little while to get going. By about a third-to-halfway through the first season though, it really picks up. Then seasons 2 and 3 are amazing. Season 4 is super uneven. Some of the episodes are really good, some literally terrible, I've no idea what they were doing. As for season 5, most people seem to dislike it, but I thought it was awesome again. It got really dark and gritty. Miami Vice is one of my favourite TV shows. Like I said, you get the odd episode that's kinda naff, but when it's good, it's really damn good. Gotta love them pastel suits :D 16:34, February 26, 2015 (UTC)

DLC size
I would always expect PS4/Xb1 DLC file size to be larger than PS3/Xb360 even when their content is identical, simply due to detail in the new consoles. For example the texture files for a single vehicle would be much larger. I don't know if the 3D models have a higher polygon count but I suspect they do. So far, on PS4 at least, all title updates that I have seen have been 1.4GB. Rockstar have stated unequivocally that the "same" DLC will be available over all platforms. smurfy (coms) 05:04, March 9, 2015 (UTC)

Just off to bed (2am here) but yeah I probably won't be much help on the masks as I won't be getting my hands on the PS4 controller for a while. By the way, per our earlier discussion on size... PS4 update = 4.75GB, PS3  update = 1.3GB smurfy (coms) 12:47, March 10, 2015 (UTC)

Promotion
Hey Morts, have you ever considered sending a request for promotion? We need an eighth patroller and WildBrick isn't interested to apply, so besides him, you're the best candidate to apply for patroller rights, what do you think about that? ( talk / stalk / blog ) 18:07, March 23, 2015 (UTC)

I think you should. You're a very good editor and you discuss disputes with others rather than create edit wars. We need an eighth patroller and you fit the bill. SJWalker (talk) 18:13, March 23, 2015 (UTC)

I agree with Andre and Sam. You do great here and you seem to fit the role of a patroller. 18:30, March 23, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

I appreciate the suggestion very much gentlemen, but I honestly don't think I would be ready. I had been thinking about the position of patroller over the last week or so, seeing so many promotions (successful or not) occur, but I want to take care of some things and improve in areas that I'm lacking in, such as persevering through the work on pages (i.e. the mask page, with all the updating). I may put in a request for the patroller position in the next month or so. I need time think about it and I believe I'm pretty close, but not completely there. Once again, thanks for the suggestion guys! It makes me happy to think that you guys believe I'm ready! I just have things I need to take care of and improve on the wiki, before it would be right to take a step up. Mortsnarg (talk) 18:37, March 23, 2015 (UTC)

That's okay. Take your time! It's always best to apply when you are ready and think you can handle it than when you don't! It took me two requests to become a patroller, because the first time, I wasn't ready. Hope that helps! 18:45, March 23, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

Thank you! Yeah, it's good to know that. I'm going to be looking into the specifics of it and I want to get to 1,000 edits by the time I get to patroller. I'm already close enough, so it shouldn't take any longer than a month. Have a nice day! Mortsnarg (talk) 20:11, March 23, 2015 (UTC)

I also suggest you apply for promotion. You're a really consistent and good editor here. You should request :-)  (talk) | (stalk) 21:09, March 23, 2015 (UTC)

There's one position now, and there'll soon be two. You can go for it if you want to. Leo68 (talk) 01:18, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

I gotta thank all of you for suggesting this, I just don't feel I'm ready. I won't drag this out any longer, but I don't think that I should become patroller at this very time. I'll give it a few weeks/ 1 month to look over it and get some improvements done. If the spots get taken in that time, it's unfortunate. I don't want to seem like I'm blowing any of you guys off, I wouldn't do that. I'm extremely thankful that you would suggest something like this for me, but as stated before, I'll give it no longer than a month (and maybe even less) to post somehting about it. Thank you all for this! I hope you understand my reasoning for waiting a little... Mortsnarg (talk) 01:33, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

Well there's four other candidates so maybe you can apply in a few months. Two patrollers are inactive so there may a position soon. Leo68 (talk) 01:44, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

That's the plan. I saw Camilo was going to apply, seems like good timing if there's no surprises. Like I said, if the position is open, 1-4 weeks max is the timeframe I plan to apply in. If all the slots are filled, It'll be unfortunate and be caused by me and me alone, but it may happen. There will most likely be more slots in the future to apply, but I hope it doesn't come to that. Once again thank you all very much, I plan on applying very soon, I just need time to improve some minor habits of myself on the wiki. Mortsnarg (talk) 01:54, March 25, 2015 (UTC)

Just explain why you deserve the position and explain your work around the wiki. Leo68 (talk) 22:57, March 26, 2015 (UTC)

RE: Template
I agree with that idea. Try asking someone like WildBrick, he's good with templates. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 18:53, April 22, 2015 (UTC)

RE:"Area" Template
Thanks! I made giant infobox a while back where you could select any title you want, specify whether it's an active/defunct business, etc. --> Template:Infobox location. I could add on things there for canyons, parks, deserts, etc. or I could create a separate template. Just let me know what headings you need for the infobox. 14:48, April 23, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
I perfectly see what you mean. The thing is, the article intro is usually used like "A is a B that appeared in C". Stating that it also appears Online is kinda confusing because it would imply some of the locations in GTA V are not in GTA Online. Similarly, we never said a location also appeared in EFLC because they were featured in a couple of missions.

But if you really (and I mean really) think this addon is necessary, I would suggest something more like "It is prominently featured in a heist in GTA Online" or something alike. But tbh, "GTA V and GTA Online" sounds more weird and confusing.

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.

GTA Wikia Crew Revival
Hey, Alex, I take it to heart that you want to revive the ol' GTAWC and take to battle other crews in GTA Online. :) This weekend, I'll update the member's tables on the page and then I'll go to the Social Club and check and accept GTA Wiki users who requested to join (with meeting the requirements of course :P). If we get everything set and ready, we can attempt to officially launch the crew mid-September.

 * Oh, and the current emblem: it's not that I don't like it, I just wanted it there just to update the old one because the old design didn't feel GTA-ish. The true GTA emblem I envision is the wording of "GTA Wikia Crew/GTA Wiki Crew" in Pricedown-like font. and with images like guns and whatnot (also, can you still add stock images via Chrome's and/or Firefox's inspect element?). I'll let you go on ahead and let use your imagination on what the crew emblem should be for the GTA Wiki. I'll try to design a few of my own this weekend.

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.

Hey, Alex! I'm so sorry for replying to you regarding about the crew so late. The past month and the preceding weeks have been hectic for me due to school (senior year's a bitch) and other responsibilities (police, organizations, etc.) and I haven't been around on the wiki to get around that, let alone time for editing and playing video games in general. I really appreciate you reviving the crew from the dead and doing much you can to spread our GTA Wiki name across the Social Club community. Maybe you can go ahead and lay forth your ideas in a form of blog post or get the staff and some users on chat to get the ball rolling. Again, thank you for your help with the crew and hopefully by October 25, I can finally have some time to myself to get back on the wiki and the GTA Wiki crew.

Take care brotha,

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.

Re: Danny Trejo
I was quite amazed of Danny Trejo showing up to our school. Before then, my AP bio teacher saw the faculty email saying that he was going to show up as a special guest talking to the media and drama class/club students (which I am part of the club). I took it as bullshite, but soon enough when I was called out to go see him speak, I was like "so it's TRUE!?? DANNY MUTHAFUCKIN' TREJO??? HERE!!!?" And yep, saw him speak about his career; how he started from being bad by getting involved in drugs and fights to getting in films and helping big charity organizations. Soon after, he let us answer some questions and I asked him how acting in video games differs from acting in film and to coincide with that question, I did ask him about his role as himself in the Black Ops Zombie map, "Call of the Dead", and his role as a Cuban gang leader. Pretty interesting responses; mo-cap compared to acting in front of a camera lol. Everybody involved with the media and drama clubs/class were honored to have such a special guest appear to our small and rather to others, unknown town.

Re:GTA Wikia Crew
I really want to get this crew going, but stuff in real life is preventing me from doing so.

One thing that I should have given you a long time ago is the account login on the Social Club. Tom and I shared the account login for our Xbox Live and PSN divisions, respectively. With that login, you can make the changes to the hierarchy, emblem, etc. I'll private message you on Social Club the account details and from there on, you can mold the crew to your desires. I guess to promote the crew to get some members, you could advertise it on your YouTube or start a campaign blog lol, whatever you can do to gather some members.

Hey Mortsnarg! I was browsing and saw that you were a Patroller, meaning that you could remove spam content. I found something in the Maps section that should be removed. I think it's pretty obvious which "map" it is. Also, another map on that same page, titled "GTA 5 MAP", has a minion image spammed on there as a pin image for the map's Police Stations. I've faith in your abilities, so in advance: thanks.

Also, while I've got you:  What's with the chat page on this wiki? Is it always empty? I assume it's been deemed obsolete with the talk pages on everyone's profiles now.
