Trivia
I agree with you regarding long Trivia posts, but I think instead of deleting them outright it would be better if they were integrated into the article if possible. For example, the features about health restoration and peyote plants would be better placed in the features section. SJWalker (talk) 18:38, January 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * I completely agreee with that, i can understand how you remove them, but surely we could combine it into the description, features or other interesting parts of the article. Or another way is to murge them into other relating trivia facts, mentioning it isnt harful, espcially when you are shortening and making the page simple. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) 18:43, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

First Time
Yes, i think its the 'first time' thing you hate, i can understand this, because it gets repetitive. If there was only 1 'first time' trivia fact on a page it would be alright, but because it's such a big page, it is full of them! (talk) 18:50, January 21, 2015 (UTC)

GTA 2 setting
Hey Rain. I was a bit curious after that guy said that GTA 2 is set in 1999, so looked a little bit more into this. Turn out he is not totally wrong! As you can see in the official GTA2 website here:, the clock is set to always show the CURENT day, so if you enter today, you will see January 22, 2015, with would make the game be set in three weeks from now. This means that when the game was first released, (september 30, 1999) that actually would make the game be set in 1999. DLVIIIL  Talk  19:35, January 22, 2015 (UTC)


 * Now I'm confused, according to that page, the game is set three weeks into the future of the date displayed, but the date is always changing because is programed to always show the current day. I wonder if the person who edited the GTA 2 page in wikipedia, visited that page in 2013 and not noticed this, come to thing of this, I actually remember a couple of years ago, people saying that GTA 2 was set in 2012 too! Could we have passed so many years without noticing this? Because that site is definitly not visited that much and everything we know about GTA 2 setting, comes from word of mouth and speculation, theres barely anything oficial about that game. Do you thing we should discuss this with the staff? DLVIIIL   Talk  19:49, January 22, 2015 (UTC)

If he vandalizes other wikis, better report him to VSTF, they can prevent him from creating accounts and even use any wiki. ( talk ) 17:14, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

RE: BigUllie
Ah, I hadn't seen that he was a Wiki-wide vandal, but then I saw he had a Wiki-wide block. Having seen that, I think he's just a lone vandal rather than a puppet. Hopefully this block will be a permanent one. SJWalker (talk) 17:16, January 26, 2015 (UTC)

Undo Revision
Hey Why did you undid my revision on Gangs in GTA SA page. It is CORRECT. Triads and Los Santos Aztecaz attack CJ unprovoked.Hunter(Talk/Stalk) 16:12, January 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * It is not. They will attack you only if you provoke them (bump into them, aim something at them, fire a weapon, crash into their car). I have played SA for multiple years and never got attacked for no reason. 16:19, January 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * I am unsure about Triad but Aztecaz do attack.CJ Attacked by aztecaz.jpg Proof is in the picture.Hunter(Talk/Stalk) 16:25, January 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Hmm. Either way this does not belong to the Trivia section. Firstly because we're not even sure Cesar is the leader of the VLA so this could make sense. This could be described in the VLA article itself (main parts, not trivia section). And about the Triads, I'm pretty sure they never attack if unprovoked. 16:28, January 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Cesar's page say he is a gang leader. But I am not sure if he is. I will add the info in VLA section.Hunter(Talk/Stalk) 16:31, January 28, 2015 (UTC)
 * Will remove this from Cesar's page soon then. Since it is never stated in-game we cannot say. 16:33, January 28, 2015 (UTC)

I removed it because the box already states that MPH goes before KPH, meaning that you don't need the MPH and KPH next to the speeds, as it says which order the speeds are in (MPH/KPH). (talk) 18:35, January 29, 2015 (UTC)

Trivia
Hey man. Be careful with the trivia you remove on pages. The facts about Cheetah and Infernus sharing the same name as the supercars, along with the fact that the Vanilla Unicorn is the only business that serves as an asset and a safehouse and also the only owned property that lacks Property Management in the game is not sky is blue trivia. They actually do belong onto the page, as it is true information. 19:38, February 5, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8
 * Yeh, i've noticed you're removing some intersting facts, stick to moving them into other parts of the page if they belong otherwise, i'm staying away from removing trivia. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) 19:42, February 5, 2015 (UTC)
 * The Cheetah/Infernus fact belong to the pages themselves and not the Vanilla Unicorn article. As for the other statement, it should be moved somewhere else, but I don't know where. 19:43, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

I've just checked the Vanilla Unicorn page and the "As a safehouse" section mentions that Trevor earns $5,000 a week "with no other obligations", so I'm guessing that means there are no property management tasks. SJWalker (talk) 19:47, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

For the Cheetah and Infernus fact, that belongs on both the vehicles' pages and the Vanilla Unicorn page. We can move the Vanilla Unicorn safehouse/business fact to the Properties in GTA V, Property Management and Assets page, but the fact should also stay on the Vanilla Unicorn page as well. Also, @SJWalker, the Vanilla Unicorn does not feature Property Management tasks. 19:59, February 5, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8
 * That's what I'm saying. The fact that the VI doesn't have property management tasks is mentioned when it says there are "no other obligations". SJWalker (talk) 20:01, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

Tabs
How do you use tabs, i want to put my 'top 5 favorite' section into tabs, each tab for each category (vehicles, characters, etc), as i am trying to save space, but add as much content as possible? If you can't explain it, i'll give you permission to edit my user profile and do it, thanks :)  (talk) 20:45, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

Tab1= Text1 |-|                    Tab2= Text2 |-|                    Tab3= Text3 |-|                    Tab4= Text4 |-|                    Tab5= Text5 |-|

Replace the "Tab" values with the tabs titles you want and the "text" values with the text that will be included in each tabber. 20:47, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

Brilliant, thanks! (talk) 20:50, February 5, 2015 (UTC)

Warning uses
Ahh, sorry, i thought i saw a non-user once use a warning before, i just followed the lead i guess, sorry. (talk) 12:06, February 7, 2015 (UTC)

Unfair Image warning
Can you have a word with CarlJohnsonJr, as he has give me an image warning for literally no reason, the only reason i can think is that the images i put on my sandbox glitched, so when i added them, they DID have a license, but did not appear on my sandbox, however, when i tried to put them back on, it treated them as if they were already on the page, so i couldnt select a license, so it's not my fault. A common glitch i have experienced a few times on the wiki  (talk) 21:19, February 7, 2015 (UTC) In addition, unlike what you stated, every image has to be licensed, whether it is used on an article or not. GTA Wiki:Image Policy doesn't state any exception regarding licensing, though this might be discussed with a 'crat (Jeff is a specialist when it comes to images). And honestly, while I have no problem with talking with other users regarding issues like this, I think it'll be better if you do it by yourself. You can simply post a message on his talk page clearly explaining the issue you had, and wait for his answer. Cheers. 21:26, February 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * In fact I believe the warning was left for the "SurferModified.jpg" file which was badly named (no mention of GTA V in the title). I have seen your images and all of them have a license. But the warning applies to both naming and licensing.
 * Ahh right, well there is a license on the SurferModified image, but the title is a little vague, but, i couldn't think of anything else i could call it (other than i should have added GTA V on the end, which, tbh, is un-needed). MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) 21:29, February 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't see anything wrong with it. GTA newbies might not see the difference between IV and V. So it's better to have the game name in the title, "just to make sure". 21:33, February 7, 2015 (UTC)

Watch Dogs
Guess what? I bought Watch Dogs today, I only did the first mission on the game, I liked it, but i'm still complaining at the terrible driving in this game, I hated the driving physics, but the game is not that bad, but anyway, I have it on the PS4, if you and Smashbro need screenshots or videos, I can just upload it to YouTube... If I like the game further, i'll join your wiki. ( talk / stalk / blog ) 22:04, February 9, 2015 (UTC)

GTA Chinatown Wars
Not trying to start a dispute or anything like that but reason why i said on some version it is rated 17+yes i do understand and i ahve seen the other country versions of it are 18+ (thats the reason why i said some verisons are rated 17+ and soem are rated 18+ i can prove this by showing you a picture of the game case) is because unlike other countries the US game rating system ranges from rated E to rated M which is 17+ also i have played the gamestop version it does not have a cheat code for a bullet proof infurnus instead its a bullet proof Patriot i can provide a link to prove it to you if you want me to. Also i have found that (i dont know if this is true in other gta games) unlike the other games none of the NPCs react to emergency vehicle sirens.TevanoRCMP (talk) 17:45, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * Game features are not trivial. The other facts were not trivial neither. I'll correct some of the info though. 17:48, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * Ok thank you but i do find it odd how the NPCs dont react to emergency vehicle sirens.TevanoRCMP (talk) 17:54, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * From what I remember they do not in all GTA games. 17:55, February 11, 2015 (UTC)
 * From what i know is that GTA CW is the first GTA game i have ever played where they dont react to them i never played the pre GTA III games but im now wondering if this happens in those as well.TevanoRCMP (talk) 18:44, February 11, 2015 (UTC)

Its episodes
Hey, just came to ask, about the 'Its episodes' on vehicle pages. Just wanted your opinion, on whether 'its episodes' should be there? As it isn't like GTA Onine, where it is considered as a seperate game. Is GTA: Episodes from Liberty City considered a seperate game? (talk) | (stalk) 13:10, February 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know, I think yes. But I believe the "its episodes" is unnecessary since every GTA IV vehicle (except mission-exclusives like the Police Stockade appeared in EFLC. Like mentioning that X district has appeared in Online is unnecessary since the map is the same. 13:13, February 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * Ok thanks, i think the reason GTA Online should be mentioned in all vehicles is because some vehicles do not appear in GTA Online. MONKEYPOLICE188.png (talk) | (stalk) 13:16, February 14, 2015 (UTC)
 * I agree since the Jet and the Police Buffalo are not mission-exclusives yet they do not appear in Online. 13:17, February 14, 2015 (UTC)

Another userbox

Far Cry Wiki
Hey Rain. If I'm sure, the Far Cry Wiki only has one admin/bureaucrat, and that's NinjaFatGuy, who also is on the Watch Dogs Wiki. I was thinking maybe both of us should be admins on the Far Cry Wiki since it's pretty dead and after the release of Far Cry 4, vandals are gonna start coming in. Let me know what you think. Thanks. 18:21, February 17, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8
 * Well, he recently promoted Echoh98 to admin, but since she's pretty much inactive there too, it would be maybe a good idea. I have 100 edits there with much anti-vandalism work. 18:51, February 17, 2015 (UTC)

Kuruma Image
If that image is definetly leaked then I'll warn the uploader and delete the image. Leo68 (talk) 07:03, February 21, 2015 (UTC)

I remember seeing a picture that showed the picture of the Kuruma technically being in the Heists Trailer. The Kuruma, along with the other Heist vehicles, were on the wallboard behind the Heist Planner. Here's my evidence for this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LzlyxSSEUkY. I'm personally going to admit that these are legit and that the vehicles are the Heist board, but whatever. Rockstar said that they'd be releasing Heists in the weeks approaching PC and there wasn't even a Valentines DLC this month so it's very possible we'll be seeing Heists this month, if nothing else, so I wouldn't post anything regardless until the actual DLC hits soon. Mortsnarg (talk) 08:05, February 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * There was a Q&A article from R* where they named "Karin Kuruma", so no doubt it's going to be released. The matter wa sthat two duplicate files were uploaded, both with a front quarter view of the Kuruma (and the Unnamed armed helicopter). Since nothing has shown on official websites (like IGN), or Rockstar's twitter or newswire, I assume someone managed to leak the images (it was another user who stated they were leakings at first). 08:16, February 21, 2015 (UTC)


 * I talked about this more on my talk page. I don't think that this is completely groundbreaking, but it's worth mentioning. Mortsnarg (talk) 08:29, February 21, 2015 (UTC)
