Regarding your User page
Good day Monk. This is, of course, only my opinion, but I feel that the top of your User page is rather blank without the poll that was formerly there, so I would personally suggest that you add a welcome message or something similar to fill it up a bit. Of course, the final say is yours, as it is your page after all.

Also, as you obviously have noticed, I have once again archived your Talk page for you.

 * Ugh. My user page always looks shit. I'll come up with a new design, haha. Thanks by the way :) Monk Talk 17:38, August 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * You are welcome. I actually preferred the way that your User page appeared back when you were a Patroller (which was when I copied the format of your header for my own User page, which I still use today), as it was simple, yet elegant. I believe that you may be trying too hard to make your User page look better, when in fact it was better off as it was months ago. I have personally varied the base appearance of my own User page very little since I created it, and you too should, in my opinion, stick to one base design and build upon it (as I have been doing), rather than completely redesigning the page every few months. Considering the fact that, unlike me, you like to post your future projects for the GTA Wiki on your User page, I would highly recommend tabs, as they reduce the clutter of the page and organize the information into easy-to-find sections in the same location. Try using a large heading entitled (for example) "Projects for 2016", then a list sorted into tabbed subsections called (for example) "Vehicle articles", "Mission articles", etc.. I hope that my suggestions have given you some ideas.

RE: Messages
I like the vehicle generations thing. IMO one of the GTAO pics of the Contender need to be removed from the infobox.

As for the naming, looks good to me and makes the most sense, so yes, I'd include that in the MoS.

About the Stunt Race Creator, I haven't tried it out yet. Haven't played any shooters, GTAs included, for the past week because... reasons. Verifying the game data as I write this so I'll have a look at the creator soon. Finally a way to test the performance accurately.

I'd say leave the top speed at wherever it peaks/stops completely, 114 in this case. Wouldn't call curb boosting, mid-drive boost, going downhill, or mysterious unexplained boosts, in this case, as the top speed as the vehicle wouldn't go there without being helped by boosts. So I'd say the peak speed as long as it is able to stay at that speed for a while without needing any help to keep that speed up. 13:43, August 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * Just tried it out. It's pretty neat, actually. Spammed the snapping starting grid until I reached the map limits and I was done xD I tried the stock Tyrus to start off. It froze at 109MPH, I went out of first person to look around, I go back in first person and the speed is 114MPH - neither going up or down - lol. A bit weird, but it is consistent as you said. v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 14:33, August 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * --ETR1 - 107/112 - I noticed the speed go up to 112 as I crossed above LS/Blaine County border. --RE-7B - 109/114 - Same as ETR1. I remembered the location just in case. --Guardian - 88/92 - Speed went up at the exact same location. --Insurgent - 86/90 - Same place. Though for this one, it was struggling between 90 and 91MPH later on. My framerate wasn't locked for that though. It was going up from 70s to 80s (On the Insurgent, I got up to 100fps somehow but that didn't affect the speed). Maybe it has something to do with border speeds, either that or R* made limits on city and countryside. Gonna try testing a car while locked to 30fps. EDIT: Locked the framerate to 30fps and tested the Tyrus. Same speeds (109/114), and the increase happened at the exact same place. v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 15:04, August 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * How does your test track look like? Mine goes from LSIA in a diagonal to the north-east of the map. The red line is where the speed starts to increase for me.

Re: Regarding my User page
And so the wheel turns. :-) Indeed I did copy your User page header in October 2015. I must say that your User page looks much better now. By the way, how is the modified "RfP" template functioning? Are there any issues with it?

Also, in case you were wondering, I created a new heading for your message on my Talk page due to the fact that it is unrelated to Camilo's messages; the reply subject of this message is the title that I gave your message.

TAlim 1994 - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 15:44, August 2, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you. It took me an almost ridiculous amount of time to work all of the kinks out of the modified template (look at the "RfP" template edit history to get some idea of the issues I had to correct, but I actually spent much longer testing the template through previews without saving it), but I am satisfied with the end result.

User FiFiTech
Hi, Monk. This FiFitech, you warned him uploading custom race videos, he continiuesly uploading this videos to wiki. You should delete all of them. I mean, he isn't listening you. talk • contribs 13:15, August 3, 2016 (UTC)

Imagehelper's design gallery
Hey, buddy. What's up?

So, after editing the Dubsta 6x6 with the overview template, I've found something out of place here when checking the badging...

Did you noticed that the vehicle actually has a North Yankton license plate? Well, after seeing this, I went into the contributions of this user about design galleries, mainly any normal car with license plates, and guess what? They have NY plates on there as well (Tailgater, Patriot, Faggio, and others).

Do you really think that these details are ignored in the design gallery? You know, I'm a bit concerned about "modding" a car to have a NY plate there (and we know which vehicles are legally "North Yankton" cars). If that doesn't matter, I'll bring back the Dubsta 6x6 images on there.

That's all, my friend. -- SWAT Cam F     04:42, August 4, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, the images are of modded vehicles, which is another reason why I am not happy. Regardless, remove the images on any vehicle he added them to - if the user cannot be bothered to upload all remaining images, and simply uploads 3 pictures, there is no point. He also cannot be bothered to license them, after given warnings. The job is worth doing properly, otherwise when it comes to another user trying to finish the gallery off, it gets messy with different pictures. Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 06:14, August 4, 2016 (UTC)


 * After reading this conversation, I must ask whether either of you know how to acquire North Yankton license plates for Grand Theft Auto Online vehicles on either the Xbox 360 or Xbox One? One of my friends on Xbox LIVE has cars with these plates (I believe that he used a now-patched glitch), and I would like them too, purely for the novelty. Unlike the police uniform for my GTA Online character - which I almost desperately wanted - I am far less keen on this particular addition, but I would still like to own it if possible.

Added a message explaining my recent actions regarding edits of various pages.
Hello Monkeypolice188 I wanted to talk with you regarding my recent edits for a multitude of the highway pages on GTA Wikia. I noticed the wiki has been devoid of various pictures and information on the page, and I wanted to contribute to the wiki by doing my part and adding information. This explains the recent influx of images of captured photos in game and the highway shields. I am letting you know that I do not intend to spam the wiki with my content, only to provide information as I am still learning the ropes around here. I apologize for any inconviences and I don't want to cause trouble here.

Regarding your signature in templates
Good day Monk, I just wish to inform you that I have devised a simple fix for the issue that you and other Staff and regular users have been having with custom signatures in templates. Use this template with the following parameters:

Note that you must insert the  before your signature, or nothing will appear.

 * I see that you have not noticed the problem. Very well, allow me to demonstrate:


 * Notice how your signature does not appear in the warning. However, if I use the template that I created, this is the result:


 * As you can see, your signature now appears. I hope that I have answered your question.


 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 10:53, August 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * I see, that makes more sense. Thanks. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 10:57, August 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * You are welcome. Be sure to use my template the next time you sign within templates, as having your signature visible within an official warning, block notice or reminder looks more official than having it outside (though of course you should still sign outside the notice if you are writing an additional message along with a warning or block notice).


 * By the way, I have responded to your message on Mustafa's Talk page. Please feel free to view it and respond if you wish.

Regarding the screenshot license templates
Good day Monk, I have a task for you: could you please edit all the screenshot license templates (with the exception of the main "Screenshot" template) to remove all of the categories? I have modified the "Screenshot" template code to automatically add those categories when it is used in the appropriate namespaces and pages. Thank you in advance.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 15:10, August 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * I'm afraid I'm very busy with something else on the wiki right now, so I can't do that. Besides, I really don't see the point in this; having templates in categories doesn't harm at all, it essentially makes them more reachable. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 15:31, August 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * If you are busy, I will be happy to do it myself. As for the point, with the current code the screenshot templates will add any page they are added on to the said categories, including if one were to (for example) post a license template on a Talk page as an example. My modifications prevent this, and ensures that the templates only add appropriate pages to appropriate categories.

Suspicious
I've been monitoring a bit of contribs from User:3rd5aints4life and their contribs look awfully similar to User:Abbas Abidin Evliyaoğlu's. What's your take on it? 23:59, August 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * I would like to advise the exercising of caution in this case: just because two users appear to be making similar edits does not necessarily indicate that they are sockpuppets, and I certainly would not want an innocent user blocked for the actions of someone else.


 * UPDATE: I have analyzed the user in question's contributions, and while some of his/her edits definitely violate the edit warring policy, the user's other contributions appear to be constructive. I would strongly advise giving him/her the benefit of the doubt, and letting him/her off with a warning.

 * How can you be so sure Mustafa? I have analyzed the user's edits, and unlike "Yusuf Emir Erenler" and "Abbas Abidin Evliyaoğlu", this user seems to actually be making constructive edits, along with his/her nonconstructive ones. Like I said, I feel that we should observe his/her contributions for the time being, and give him/her the benefit of the doubt.

HD Universe Families contradiction
Good day Monk, I have noticed a rather blaring issue with the HD Universe Families article: in the main part of the article, it is stated that the Families are definitively based on the Bloods, but the trivia has a note that essentially states that it is uncertain. I have next to no knowledge of American street gangs (or any street gang, for that matter) other than the fact that they frequently participate in illicit activity, so I am unable to correct this contradiction. I do not know if you will be of much use, but please try and resolve this issue if you can.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 15:59, August 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * I don't specialize in gangs, or anything associated with them, so I have no interest (and no idea) in fixing this. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 16:14, August 7, 2016 (UTC)


 * I expected you to say that. I believe that the simplest fix would be to add "possibly" to the gang's influence and slightly reword both the influence and trivia sections, which I am going to do.


 * UPDATE: I have completed the edit. Feel free to have a look at the page if you wish.

Orphan page
Good day Monk, I have found this completely orphaned page (TalkXLS) that was apparently created by your bot. I cannot conceive of any possible use for the page with its current name and namespace, so I suggest that it either be moved to the "Template" namespace and renamed to something meaningful, or simply disposed of.

All fixed now. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 07:27, August 8, 2016 (UTC)

The Time's Come
Hey Mate,

A day ago a moderator removed a section on 'The time's come' which I added, claiming it was too 'speculative'. I was wondering if you could maybe check it out, to see what you think of it. I'll copy and paste it here. Personally i think it gives a deeper meaning to the mission. I hope it goes up.

Thanks Mate! <p style="line-height:inherit;">Mythhunter99 (talk) 08:07, August 8, 2016 (UTC)
 * It is possible that the final confrontation between Michael and Franklin at the tower of the Palmer-Taylor Station is a metaphor reflecting Michael's and Franklin's status. Franklin and Michael reach the top of the tower, figuratively the top of society (wealth and status). When Franklin drops Michael, he has metaphorically betrayed him, and is now at the top of society on his own. When Franklin returns to level ground, it could possibly refer to how he is now at the bottom of society where he was a the beginning of the game, no more than a 'hustler'.


 * I really, really like this. It is speculative, but it's also very detailed and very well explained, and perceptive. Could you tell me who the moderator was who removed it? Maybe we can discuss it as a trio, as I personally find this very interesting, although, it is rather speculative. :/ <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 12:09, August 8, 2016 (UTC)

 * I was just about to say the same regarding Rain being the Staff member who reverted "Mythhunter99"'s contribution. Anyway, I agree with you Monk: though it is highly speculative, the trivia note is a very intelligent, well-reasoned and plausible theory. If you understood what I was trying to convey with the image of my fountain pen and its subtitle on my User and Talk pages, you will know that I love creative ideas, and this trivia note is a fine example of such an idea. I would suggest adding the "Speculation" template to the trivia section, than re-adding the said note.

Re: Tips
Something which I've recently been using which works wonders for screenshots is the openCamera script that comes with OpenIV - It lowers the restrictions in the Free Camera setting in the Rockstar Editor, effectively allowing you to move the camera around and focus on things fairly distant from the player's position. I've been able to capture some rather interesting screenshots of some of the Single Player missions with it, such as this shot of the Cargobob carrying the Rhino in The Paleto Score.

This tool should be rather useful in the future, I think!

I was bored AF, and I finally figured out resolutions.

 * I'm guessing this wasn't just a simple case of "F10 Screenshot it boyo", and was a case of editing, or something? xD Looks dope and all that, but it can take a while to load on some devices (especially your 8k pic lmao), so I think sticking to 2K (or just generic 1080p/i) is best in terms of fast navigation. Looks dope tho. <font face="Comic Sans MS">Mr. Ferrari (<font face="Comic Sans MS">talk ) 12:00, August 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * Nah, it's a pure, legit, 4K (and 8K too) resolution. I finally managed to get custom resolutions in the control panel. I intend to stick with 1080p, since even 2K is not convenient for me (gotta do it all blindfolded, monitor hates anything above 1920x1080) and it is a real bitch to load the highest-poly car models, especially on 8K (took over 10 minutes of being afk to get the highest-poly Tropos model to load). I wish I could get 16K though, now that is truly impossible for me, it throws me into 800x600 when I test it. v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 13:19, August 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * Haha. So you can't play in 4K/8K, you just see nonsense with your monitor? And yeah, I think we should just stick to 1980x1080 screenshots for the wiki - in the meantime, it is really cool tho, really fucking awesome haha. <font face="Comic Sans MS">Mr. Ferrari (<font face="Comic Sans MS">talk ) 13:30, August 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * Yeah, in 2K my monitor says 'Resolution not supported', in 4K I only see one row of pixels at the very top, in 8K the colors (1 solid color taking up the whole screen) flicker all over the screen. Interestingly if I set the resolution to 2558x1439 - 2K is 2560x1440 - I can see everything (and play the game) just fine lol v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 13:40, August 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * Sorry - been out all day. Looks good, though as Ferrari said, and in addition, the loading times, the fact it's actually quite difficult for you to do, and the fact that 2K in particular isn't really that much different from 1080p, mean it's all pretty inefficient for general Wiki screenshots. Though it is very cool, I really, really like the 8K picture. Shame a 25mb picture wouldn't upload though. :P <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 15:11, August 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * To be blunt, I must say that (to me at least) the 4K resolution does not look much different when viewing images at a standard preview size (as appears when an image in an article is clicked on), so I honestly do not see the point of uploading such high resolution images unless one were interested in massively enlarging an image to view the detail - which is unnecessary due to the fact that we already upload images of all the notable detail of vehicles. But good job on capturing the images in 4K resolution anyway.

RE: Colors of Cars
I'm not sure how that works in IV - or if it even works to begin with but in V it's a livery setting combined with color settings.

Tyrus, for example - the color as seen on the infobox.

<Item> <indices content="char_array"> 29           3            3            89 	    111	    111                <Item value="false" /> <Item value="true" /> <Item value="false" /> <Item value="false" /> <Item value="false" /> <Item value="false" /> <Item value="false" /> <Item value="false" /> </Item>

Second livery is marked as true, so the Tyrus would spawn with the second livery on that color specifically in traffic. The difference is that Tyrus has the livery as a modkit, it's not part of the model, so it will never actually spawn with a livery in traffic.

For the non-DLC V vehicles, we have to wait a bit until carvariations.ymt is decoded - carcols is decoded already (been adding on plates to the game all day lol) so I don't expect waiting a very long time.

19:19, August 11, 2016 (UTC)


 * Y'know, I can't actually think of an example in GTA IV. I mean, all the cars that have liveries and colors have only 1 livery and one color, such as the Police Cruiser, spawning in white only, because the files say so, and thus the livery spawns on top, same case with things like the Skylift, Taxi, etc. I can't think of a car that has two colors and two liveries, in which 1 color is strictly fixed to 1 livery.


 * PS When Carvariations is done, you and me need to talk in chat so I can help you with it for infoboxes, k? :) I'll start working on some cars for IV, using Brickade (TBOGT) as help - if you're okay with that (this is a very long, complicated project haha) <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 20:33, August 11, 2016 (UTC)

Re: Edit Summaries
My apologies for interfering with your edits. Normally I will make dummy edits within two minutes of publishing a bad edit summary, but I was very tired, and I fell asleep at the keyboard while I was midway through reverting my dummy edit, hence the longer than usual delay. As a matter of habit and personal preference (I am very particular about correct spelling and grammar, even in edit summaries) I do still intend to continue my former behavior, but in the unlikely event that it takes me more than two minutes to make and/or revert a dummy edit, I will wait at least half an hour before making the edit to avoid clashing with you or other editors.

RE: GTA Wiki Background
Oh, it isn't good idea to use official Wiki-Background because of size limit. Better to use MediaWiki background script. And thank to the script you would scale the size of the background to different monitors. undefined 21:38, August 15, 2016 (UTC)


 * I noticed the issue too, but I was never terribly concerned with it due to the fact that the bad part of it was always (for me at least) hidden behind the main part of the wiki. However, now that the matter has been brought up, I must say that the new image looks much better than before. Good job Monk.

Jobs for your bot
Good day Monk, would it be possible for you to make your bot add all redirects to the "Redirects" category? Also, have you been able to try again to get it to italicize all Grand Theft Auto titles?

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 01:13, August 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Redirects; can do. GTA titles are working but not working - it now works through lists of pages, but as you could probably guess, it can't recognise when to italicate the game name (IV, San Andreas, etc), it's either I force it to not italicate anything other than "Grand Theft Auto", or it starts italicating other bits of titles separately (similar to one of the first issues we had ). I'll work it out eventually. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 08:33, August 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Okay I've started the bot working through all 4,500 redirects. I've noticed there's an unfortunate glitch wherein it will class pages that once were a redirect...as a redirect, for example Money was once a redirect, but is now a page, so it still adds the category. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 10:41, August 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * Turns out it's doing something even worse - it's adding the category to pages that are either redirects, or pages that have redirects to them. :/ <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 10:43, August 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * There is one way of tricking the system, it will take a bit longer. I'm going to ask the bot to go through every single page in the wiki, and find "#REDIRECT", and replace it with something else. Then, I will ask the bot to through all the pages with the "something else", and add the category. Pretty simple. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 11:03, August 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * UPDATE: Got it working instead. There's a setting to stop the bot following redirects; basically it was adding the categories to pages rathe than redirects because it was following the redirect, THEN editing. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 11:16, August 16, 2016 (UTC)


 * I am glad that you got it working: now all redirects will be categorized as such, and your bot will automatically fix redirects that I or others forget to add to the category. I must admit that I am quite surprised that there are more than 4,500 redirect pages: I knew that there were bound to be at least a few hundred, but I did not think that there would be that many! By the way, might it also be possible for you to make your bot remove all the pages from the "Redirect" category (which is itself now a redirect to the "Redirects" category)? I added those pages there almost a year ago, while I was still unaware of the existence of the "Redirects" category, and I cannot be bothered with removing them manually due to the tedium.

RE: Colors
IV has 4 colors. Most cars support 3 only but there are a few that have the 4th color which is the Bonus/Wheel Color.

When I did the additional fields (actually even earlier than that) I had in mind 16x16 boxes with the color as background and number on it that show the name when you hover over the text and a black border around the boxes - this would prevent the color from blending/clashing into the infobox.

The way I was thinking about the boxes was something like this 1     2       3       4    1    [69]   [71]    [99]   [130]    2    [70]   [72]    [100]  [131]    3    [71]   [73]    [101]  [132]    4    [72]   [74]    [102]  [133]

Was going to start on it when I did the V carcol page but I want to update my mod first - mass editing carvariation files is a pain lol.

New Images
Good day, friend! Let me start by saying thanks for the new GTA4 images, I'm so glad seeing my favorite GTA getting better vehicle pics. Thanks a lot!

Now, let's get to business. Earlier this month I posted a new section at the Community Noticeboard about some new ideas I had for the wiki, and one of them was about adding new vehicle images for the GTA Advance renditions, since every one of them in the wiki only have the bird's eye pics. Anyway, I have some doubts on how to move forward with them and another user there said I should consult you about it, since you have experience on this topic. So, if you could reach back to me we can get this show on the road, what do you say? Gettoru (talk) 16:21, August 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * Hey there - and apologies for not getting back to you or the CNB post lately, I have been relatively busy. Thanks for getting in touch, and you are quite right indeed in that I am relatively experienced with this.


 * Thanks for the compliment, I gathered that a lot of the GTA IV screenshots were relatively low quality and contained a pedestrian in, and I am upgrading mine even more lately, getting higher quality shots is my main priority here.


 * Regarding 3D Universe games, there is not much I can suggest, as I do not play them often at all - especially in the last year or so. I use a mod in GTA IV, called Ultimate Camera Control. This allows me to move the camera free-roam and get great shots in game, I use trainers to teleport to nice locations, get the time and weather appropriate, and spawn the cars as they should. Thing is with 3D Universe games, I'm really not sure if this mod exists, or if there is another efficient way to replicate it, and it would be almost impossible on mobile ports of the game, so I really do not recommend mobile port shots for this reason - Also, mobile ports may be high quality, but the resolution will suffer consequently. Again, with GTA Advance, 1 and 2, I have no idea how to get these shots, I have never played 2D Universe games.


 * If you are sure you have a way to get better images of the games you have listed, go ahead, and I'll see what I think. Apologies for my writing style today, I'm not totally focused and solid on the wiki lately. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 18:08, August 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * (About GTA4) I agree about the quality, and some of them were from random and weird angles as well. I noticed you (along with WildBrick) keep adding new pics to those vehicles as well as 5's, so yeah, thank you two lots!! (Not to sound like a stalker, but I have your uploads page bookmarked in my browser). I actually would also like to take pics for both NDS and PSP versions of GTA CTW, but I'm still trying to find a way of getting good angles.

(About 3D universe) I actually thought of using the old "go to an open location, then revese while turning and snapshot it" method to get the pics, but I do admit I haven't even tried it yet. Anyway, ignoring the mobile ports (since I do not own a higher res phone or tablet), I think the Xbox ports of GTA3 and VC (which have more polygons, higher quality textures and new added details comparing to PC/PS2 for both games) are pretty good for this job, if we can ignore it having the protagonist inside the vehicle, and I do have both of them as well, so I could do it myself, but the idea was shot down, so, yeah. If that ever gets changed sure call me and I'll help if I can.

(About GTA Advance) I already ripped all the sprites I could get for every vehicle in the game (and every palette as well), so my doubts are more in the cosmetic nature rather than technical. No problem man, we need to have a life in the real world, and we should dedicate more to it than the virtual one. That said, I still have a few questions, and if it would make it easier to you we could talk some other way (facebook, whatsapp and e-mailing are fine by me).

RE: Dune
I understand that and I apologize for that. Its just that I've previously tested it in Arms Races in GTA Online and swerved hard on the asphalt road and it never tipped over. I might try it off-road the next time I get on GTA V, but for the time being, I can't unless R* would actually fix the issues for the PC version, notable like stutters and texture pop-ins. Not only that, my internet has been really finicky for the last two days so getting on GTA Online in order to test it is risky without my internet dropping connection unexpectedly. Again, I apologize for that. And yes, I may have overdone with the edits for the Dune and I knew I should've left it the way it is, but sadly, what's done is done, couldn't help myself. 20:08, August 28, 2016 (UTC)

TP messages
I think we should allow users to wipe out welcome messages off of their talk pages without warnings or anything.

RE: ABS
Hey bro. Thanks for letting me know about it. Yeah, your brother already said that it is pretty early to put that info on there, so I guess I owe him a thanks for saving my time (i.e. not being ridiculous and adding ABS on, let's say, 10, 20 or even 30 pages XD). As for the "low ABS", I guess I still have to test these cars carefully to ensure it is definitely "ABS" or "No ABS" (most are early testings, so I have to apply the recent methods). The Brickade and the  are still unable to get and test them (more focused on the ABS, GPS voice and interiors).

As for the wheels, thanks. I'm not very familiar with the rim designs and stuff, so I'm pretty confused in that aspect. I guess I have to mark them as "carname rims", as I have no idea (Willard is easy, due to the provided info.)

So, your bro made his own vehicle details? Nice. I hope he can do his best for this one. Really, really good.

So, yeah, thanks for that, buddy. -- SWAT Cam F     22:45, September 10, 2016 (UTC)

Well, they served well as a reference for a variation of the vehicle. Both the Crusader and the Cutter looks amazing in these 2K resolutions.

Luckily, they don't have set colors. If you don't mind me asking, how did you change liveries and get the exact same camera? btw you missed the 24/7 Benson. 09-18-2016, 10:50:59 (EDT)


 * I thought Carvariations was what defined whether or not they had set colors? In which case, I thought it was unreadable so far?


 * PS:


 * Spawn in the vehicle. Hide the player's visibility in the mod menu. Get the vehicle in the right spot. Open up the mod menu again, and press F1 to start recording - I use the Xbox Remote to play around with the rest, I just use the keyboard to press F1. Then, I switch through the vehicle components while recording, to change the livery. I then 90 degree rotate the vehicle and repeat the last bit. Then R* editor it and boom. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 15:33, September 18, 2016 (UTC)

GTA Online Biker Update
I was on FB, and saw a thing about it. I think it's based on the beta content talked about on a Mr.BossFTW video. Can't wait to get to make my character even more hardcore. Also ready to see it here. Myth hunting master (talk) 20:50, September 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * It's next gen only...like all latesr DLCs. Also, we don't need to bring up cut content. It exists now, simple. MrBoss is a useless shit to use for information too. <font face="Comic Sans MS">Mr. Ferrari (<font face="Comic Sans MS">talk ) 20:56, September 19, 2016 (UTC)


 * One of my Friends on Xbox Live mentioned "Mr.BossFTW" when referring to how Rockstar had supposedly shut down the Grand Theft Auto IV multiplayer servers (they have not, I have personally verified on my Xbox 360), and that they were supposedly planning the shutdown of the Grand Theft Auto Online servers in around 2018-19, and the original version servers in 2017 (the latter of which Rockstar have supposedly stated themselves, though I have so far found no evidence of this statement besides my Friend's word). No offence to him, but my Friend can sometimes be a bit too credulous, especially when it comes to the word of YouTube publishers that he likes, and I have actually mentioned the supposed unreliability of "Mr.BossFTW" to him. However, I would like an explanation as to exactly why "Mr.BossFTW" is supposedly - in Guy's words - "a useless shit to use for information". Also, is there any truth to what my Friend has said about Rockstar announcing the planned shutdown of the GTA Online servers for the original version? I would be rather unhappy if this were true, since I still play on the Xbox 360 version of GTA Online from time to time.

Re: Concerns
Good day Monk, may I ask which article(s) in particular you were referring to (if any) in your message? If you were referring to my edits to the Insurgent and Insurgent Pick-Up articles, there was a reason for my hurried edits: my mother was yelling at me to hurry at the time, as she urgently needed to use my computer to complete an online refresher course for her Food Safety Supervisor (F.S.S.) certification, which is required in my state (New South Wales (N.S.W.)) to operate a food-handling business like the café we own. In any case, I will do my utmost to avoid such rapid consecutive edits in the future.

With regards to your reply to my previous message, I was already aware of it, but I did not reply because I did not feel that it needed a response. However, since you appear to be expecting one, I have replied: please feel free to read it and respond if you wish.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 19:57, September 30, 2016 (UTC)


 * I was referring to articles edited in general. If you take a little more time reading through the article, you'll find more mistakes (if any) to fix and thus won't have to constantly make separate edits. Top tip ;) <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 12:24, October 1, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you for the advice. However, the problem that I sometimes have is that the mistakes that I correct are sometimes so minor and hardly noticeable that I only end up noticing them after I save a previous edit. Something as small as "in" instead of "on", "it's" instead of "its" or improper capitalization would sometimes be difficult to catch in a page which has bigger problems. Nevertheless, I will try to be more alert for these errors to avoid having to edit the same article multiple times. Also, I must point out that sometimes I edit an article multiple times to different sections to simplify my edit summaries, as otherwise I would sometimes have to write a much longer and more complicated edit summary if I did not have the indicator of which section I edited.

Information
Hello sir. I have new information to add to the wiki but i don't really know how i should do that. Considering that my main language isn't english, i'd also prefer for someone else to actually update the wiki using my information if possible. This ressearch took me more than 100hours during my spare time this summer.

Here's my ressearch : Mount Chiliad Mural complete analysis

https://www.reddit.com/r/chiliadmystery/comments/558j9a/mount_chiliad_mural_complete_analysis_and/ -

Visual support : http://imgur.com/idAhdKQ

This is the visual support for my analysis. In the same imgur post you will also find a re-written version of the main story using this wikia for my main sources of information. My version is seamless and also written in an Classical Hollywood Script template to expose to everyone how the main story was actually made using those exact systems and codes. This is a parody of Hollywood after all, It makes complete sense that the main story itself would be written using the exact same codes promoted by Hollywood for several decades.

https://www.reddit.com/r/GameWritingLab/comments/55i8zp/is_gtav_main_story_written_like_a_hollywood_movie/

If you need any help understanding some parts, it will be my pleasure to help you.

LordGalehaut (talk) 10:20, October 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * On a first glance, I can see this is speculation, and the wiki does not accept speculation (with only minor exceptions being obvious speculation). You may want to ask other members of Staff on this wiki to see what they think, as my opinion is only a minority. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 17:27, October 12, 2016 (UTC)


 * Would there be a way to submit this to a community vote ? I'll put things bluntly, i kinda guess that you looked at it without actually reading it , therefore why you tag it as speculation. There are some personal interpretation yes , to make the text more easy to understand , considering you need good knowledge of cinema script writing ( i studied cinema at university ) , A good base in understanding abstract art as well as different current of symbolism ( religious , ancient , greek ).


 * This paper takes at least a few hours to read if you have no prior knowledge of all this. I won't drop this subject any time soon, like i said , this analysis took me 3 months to complete , it is nearly perfect. I'm just not satisfied with the format and how i had to lay out the step by step precedure , but i had to do it like this to show the calculus. The proofs are clearl : Unique crossroad at the end of the diagram , unique crossroad in the main story. There's no other crossroads in the whole game when it comes to choices ,you always have 2 choices only , except at the end with franklin where you get 3 choices.


 * There's also in-game confirmation during the main story line which gives the exact turning points in the story :


 * <p style="box-sizing:border-box;text-size-adjust:none;margin-top:0.357143em;margin-bottom:0.357143em;font-size:14px;line-height:1.42857em;color:rgb(94,104,117);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"OpenSans",Helvetica,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;"><span style="box-sizing:border-box;text-size-adjust:none;font-weight:700;color:rgb(77,89,104);">Main story line turning points :


 * 1 - Michael pulling Martin Madrazo's wife house down while in rage. ( Early in the story )
 * 2 - Trevor is hinted about Michael being alive while hearing a robbery witness on TV ( Early in the story )
 * 3 - Trevor goes back to North Yankton to find the truth about Brad. ( Near the end of the story )

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;text-size-adjust:none;margin-top:0.357143em;margin-bottom:0.357143em;font-size:14px;line-height:1.42857em;color:rgb(94,104,117);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"OpenSans",Helvetica,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;">Since the diagram in the mural shows only 1 Red X early in the story on the left, while the right side depicts 2 Red Xs, 1 early in the story and the second being near the end , i can now safely confirm that the left side of the diagram correspond to Michael while the right side correspond to Trevor.

<p style="box-sizing:border-box;text-size-adjust:none;margin-top:0.357143em;margin-bottom:0.357143em;font-size:14px;line-height:1.42857em;color:rgb(94,104,117);font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,"OpenSans",Helvetica,sans-serif;font-weight:normal;">Only one of Trevor's default tattoos can be removed: "R.I.P Michael", once Trevor found out Michael was still alive, and also after Trevor found out about Brad in Bury the Hatchet , he would make the "Betraying Scroll" tattoo on his left chest. For me this is the in-game confirmation that those 2 events are indeed Trevor's turning points in his life.


 * I could continue for a long time with this, but before i start editing anything i still want everyone to approve my information. The analysis itself is pure and not speculative , maybe someone just need to read through my info and remove all interpretation. In any case i'd really want everyone to look at it since it's a gigantic part of GTAV itself. Mural being explained is a game changer for me , it's just sad that i have a hard time getting people to read it. When they do though they are mindblown.

Regarding new single-page categories
Good day Monk, I have come across a situation which I have never encountered prior to this, and I am unsure as to the correct course of action to take. This user created a blog post in which he/she wrote a rather poorly worded story about a non-canonical Caipira Airways flight. However, he/she also added the post to six new categories which only contain the aforementioned blog post. I will leave it to you or another Staff member reading this message to decide what to do, but I personally do not see the point of six categories which only contain a single badly written blog post about a non-canonical event.

 * The entire internet as a whole (across the majority of the US and UK) was down and intermittent pretty much the entire day in this case, INCLUDING Wikia, which is why it was difficult to access Wikias, pages, and special features. While Konan is right about the chat issues that occur regularly, the fact is the internet didn't help this day. You aren't likely to suffer these symptoms again.

Regarding "Povke"
Good day Monk, I noticed that you have blocked "Povke" for "abusing multiple accounts", but as the aforementioned user has mentioned on my Talk page, he apparently no longer uses the other accounts that he has created. I feel that an exception should be made regarding this apparently unintentional Sockpuppetry.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 06:34, October 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * But the original account was blocked. Whether he was blocked before or after making the new account, I'd still consider it abusing multiple accounts, as he has resorted to using another account. Unintentional or not, he has still used another account to evade a ban. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 11:29, October 23, 2016 (UTC)

 * Hmm, that does not seem right: according to the account profiles, "Povilas Kočiubaitis" started editing in 2011, while "Povke PK" started editing in 2012; how did you work out that the latter account was his "original" account that he used for editing, may I ask?
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 15:13, October 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * I didn't. I just blocked the latest account as I saw he had edited his original account that was already blocked, as I assumed he was abusing multiple accounts. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 15:28, October 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * Your point is noted. I have indeed seen the block reasons for the account that you assume is his original, and I would have to agree that your block reason is valid. However, notwithstanding the policy, don't you think that it is a bit... harsh to re-block a user over an offense that they committed over four years ago?

No, I am saying I agree that he shouldn't be blocked. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 16:05, October 23, 2016 (UTC)


 * I see. In that case, I think that I will unblock him, since I believe that he should be given a second chance. Of course, if he uses any other accounts than the one I am unblocking as Sockpuppets, naturally he should be re-blocked.


 * UPDATE: The account has now been unblocked. Apologies, I actually unblocked the account several hours ago as I post this update (not long after the posting of the original message), but I forgot to post an update at the time.

Regarding the Insurgent Pick-Up in Kill List
When I was doing Kill List up at Terminal a couple months ago, I've seen at least two Pick-Ups spawn both with a Merryweather op manning the turret. Hell, I was even surprised that they spawn for that event to begin with. I guess the only way to verify it is to have you play it yourself when the event pops up. I'd go do it, but eh, unable to play online right now. #consolepeasantmasterrace

I wish I had an idea for the title, but I don't, so this will have to do.
Changed the CarColV template with the definitions for car5 and car6 color.

By the way, could you type "(monkeybot)" in chat? Curious if it works. 10-26-2016, 04:46:58 (EDT)

 * One for the av for each Bcrat? Might be cool (I don't plan on changing my av any time soon). (monk) (vaultboy) (wild)
 * Each game logo? Maybe the GTA logo as a separate one, and then III, IV, V, etc.(gta) (iii) (iv) (v) or something?
 * HEISTS might be a cool one. (heists)
 * Can we get animated gifs? Spinning police icons on the V radar would be really cool. (police)?
 * Really like wasted and busted. :P <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 21:02, October 26, 2016 (UTC)


 * Bcrats (all staff actually, apart from those on probation >:) ) get up to 3 personalized emotes, so it doesn't necessarily need to be their av - can literally be anything they want, doesn't need to be GTA related (max size 40x100 though). I like the idea of gifs so I'll work on that. Logos are also next on my list. I'll think about the heists text (kinda unfair to the other DLC names :p). v-michael-trunk-mini.jpg V-franklin-trunk-mini.jpg V-trevor-trunk-mini.jpg 10-26-2016, 05:10:05 (EDT)

Jobs for your bot
Good day Monk, could you please make your bot do one of two things:


 * 1) add all vehicles in the "Boats" category to the "Water Transport" category; or
 * 2) remove all the boats from the "Water Transport" category.

I find it rather odd that only some boats are in the "Water Transport" category, and I feel that it would be better to have either all boats in that category, or none at all. Personally, I feel that having all the boats in the category would be the best course of action.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 13:05, November 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Cannot do for a while, as the bot is currently down - not the bot itself, but AWB. Wikia (sorry Fandom)'s recent changes to their API settings have messed up the AWB connection system with Wikia. I've notified them, and they're looking into it. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 16:19, November 5, 2016 (UTC)

 * That is good to hear. May I ask what you are going to make the bot do: remove the boats or add them all?
 * TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 14:55, November 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * Remove them all. I don't see the need for the category if we have a boats category already - water transport is a boat. Even submarines can be referred to as boats. <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 15:26, November 10, 2016 (UTC)


 * Are you going to remove just the articles in the "Boats" category, or are you going to have the entire category removed?

Regarding the police uniform on Grand Theft Auto Online
Good day Monk, do you by any chance know of any working glitches to obtain the Cop Outfit on the Xbox One version of Grand Theft Auto Online? As you probably remember from the last time that we played together, I used to own it, but - ironically due to another glitch - all my saved outfits, including the police uniform, have vanished from my inventory. I love wearing that uniform, and I am very displeased with its disappearance, so I would greatly appreciate it if you can tell me about any working glitches as of update 1.36 (Bikers). I have found numerous glitch walkthroughs published on YouTube, but unfortunately they are all for either the original version of Grand Theft Auto V/Online (where I already have it) or for the PlayStation 4. Also, if anyone else other than Monk reads this message and knows how to get the uniform, please do leave a message on this Talk page. Thank you.

TAlim 1994<font face="Segoe Script" color="Ghostwhite"> - Konan T-A Lim 林道安 ( talk  |  contributions ) 02:22, November 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * Sorry pal, I have no idea. I got mine back with the glitch involving parachuting under the map, to the garage, on the Xbox One. Ever since, I never needed another way of getting it, as I transferred to PC and still have it. Hope you find a way :) <font size="4" face="Tahoma">Monk <font face="Tahoma">Talk 22:05, November 9, 2016 (UTC)


 * Ah, curses. I cannot help but wonder why only some users were affected by this strange glitch. I was actually affected by it a total of three times: once when I initially lost all my outfits; another when I re-saved the police uniform after losing it, as I was still wearing it at the time, and needed to change for a Heist; then a third time when I recreated one of my non-glitched outfits. Ayah, it is really starting to get annoying, and now I am reluctant to recreate any of my outfits (glitched or otherwise) until Rockstar give some indication that the issue has been fixed, as it takes me quite a while to dress my character up to my very exacting tastes. I still hold out hope that my outfits will reappear, as some of my other Friends have had their outfits disappear and then reappear, but admittedly I am beginning to lose hope, as it has been about a week since the initial glitch occurred as I send this message. If you do not mind, please ask your Friends, and if any of them happen to know of a working glitch to get the uniform back on the Xbox One, please do tell me. I cannot begin to express how irritated I am at losing the uniform, and the sooner that I get it back the happier I will be.
