Translation help
Hello Eugene. Sorry to trouble you, but I was wondering if you can help translate what is on this box: It is found inside the Platypus in GTA IV and would appear to be 7.62mm rounds of ammunition, labelled with a faux-Russian Ammu-Nation logo (Ammu-zatioz). Feel free to use this image on the Russian wiki if you want. Thanks. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 22:48, April 2, 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello. Yes, I can do it:

«Ammunition 7.62 hollow points. Tracer. 30-round plastic detachable box. WARNING: EXPLOSIVE.»


 * There's a lot of errors in translation thus I didn't understand a meaning at first sight. And I think it's Ammu-Иatioи, not Zatioz. —  13:12, April 3, 2019 (UTC)
 * Excellent, thanks very much. The Zatioz vs Иatioи is why I called it "Faux-Russian", using a Latin Z to substitute for the Cryllic И - probably because the artist responsible for the logo graphic couldn't render Cryllic letters, while the artist responsible for the text on the box could (and was probably using Babelfish back in 2008 to translate from English, hence the errors).

 * Well, I understand. I tried to find Latin И, but now I see that this letter is Cyrillic-exclusive. I'm disappointed, really. So, contact me next time if you need. —  14:32, April 4, 2019 (UTC)

Timeline
Saw your sandbox, shamelessly ran with it. It's now implemented on the GTA Wiki:Staff page (as a transcluded subpage). I've seen this used all the time on wikipedia for band membership, but never thought to use it to display a staff timeline. Cheers!

 * Our wiki uses our own timeline since 2016, when I borrowed it from Russian Wikies Wiki. I was interested about your Staff history, and decided to make this timeline, but you finished it yourself and corrected some unavoidable inaccuracies like users with several accounts. Happy for you. —  09:54, 7 September 2021 (UTC)
