Starting a new wiki
Hi, The Tom. I've started a new wiki called the Dan Houser Wiki. I'd like to know how to change the title, as done with this wiki's one. GrandTheftEditor (talk) 09:15, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Pics
Hey Tom, every pics on different pages gets deleted for no reason, I hope this wiki is not being hacked, if it is hacked by user who got blocked from here, someone will be blocked globally for infinite. Cloudkit01 (talk) 18:44, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

The Broffles Waffles, Ferris Whale and other pages. Cloudkit01 (talk) 19:02, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Cloudkit's right. I just had to remove the image on the Hampton Barns page cause the image was missing. And the Downtown Los Santos page's picture also is missing. Smashbro8 (talk) 19:05, January 5, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

At first, I thought it was something with Internet problems. But now I realise that it happens to others. Carl Johnson Jr. (talk) 19:06, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

I just checked out the Washington Beach Police Station's picture and that's also gone too! Smashbro8 (talk) 19:08, January 5, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

We should make a list of the pages with missing images. Smashbro8 (talk) 19:11, January 5, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8


 * Do not remove the images. I'll try and find out what's happening but for now just leave it as it is. Tom Talk 19:12, January 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay Tom I will undo my Hampton Barns image thing. Should we make a list of the pages with missing images? Smashbro8 (talk) 19:14, January 5, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

I looked at the GTA Wikia Crew page and it also has lost its image. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 19:16, January 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Ah, con soggit, not the GTAWC image! No! --Tony1998  (Talker  * Blogger *  Stalker) -- 23:59, January 7, 2014 (UTC)

Seeing the images missing is freaking me out, I don't know why every images gets removed D: Cloudkit01 (talk) 19:22, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

I'm with you Cloudkit. I feel someone is hacking our wiki and deleting the images. Images can't delete themselves. Smashbro8 (talk) 19:23, January 5, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8


 * Nobody deleted images. I can check if images have been deleted and none have. It's a common bug for Wiki's with as many images as we have, most images seem to be back now - for me at least. Tom Talk 19:27, January 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * None of the images are back on mine. They keep saying "The item is no longer available but now that you're here explore GTA Wiki!" Smashbro8 (talk) 19:33, January 5, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Me too, it didn't come back on mine either, I hate that Wikias get bugs & glitchly alot :( Cloudkit01 (talk) 20:41, January 5, 2014 (UTC)

Hopefully it comes back later today. I'll give it two days to appear like this. If two days pass and it isn't fixed, someone's messing with the wiki. Smashbro8 (talk) 20:48, January 5, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8


 * It's a glitch. Nobody hacked us and nobody is messing with the Wiki. Tom Talk 22:10, January 5, 2014 (UTC)


 * Okay. I understand that. Just checking. Hopefully it gets better soon. Smashbro8 (talk) 22:11, January 5, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8
 * Wikia have emailed me, they told me it's a known bug and they're trying to find a fix. It shouldn't be too much longer. Tom Talk 17:45, January 10, 2014 (UTC)

User
Hi The Tom! Smashbro8 here. This user is adding nonsense on pages which I had to undo about twice so far and has made a page that needs deleting. Deal with him man.

PS: How do you revert edits? Smashbro8 (talk) 01:43, January 6, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Oh lol, I know how to undo and I use the magnifying glass to make sure other user's edits are useful. Undoing is the one I can do, but when a user makes multiple edits and the edits can't be undone, how do you revert the person's edits? I'll show you a page with a reverted edit to show you what I mean. Smashbro8 (talk) 02:01, January 6, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8.

Here. On Philips?action=history Trevor Philips history page you can see the reverted edits thing. I want to know how to do that. Smashbro8 (talk) 02:05, January 6, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Oh never mind. I thought all editors could do that. I'll just wait patiently for Requests for Promotion page to be unlocked. Thanks. Smashbro8 (talk) 03:17, January 6, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Cool. I've noticed it's useful for when removed multiple useless edits in a row so that's why I asked. Thanks a lot pal! Smashbro8 (talk) 03:23, January 6, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

After going on the page history and clicking the two circles must I then press undo to revert the edits? And this is still only a staff thing or can all users do this part here? Smashbro8 (talk) 03:28, January 6, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Thanks man! BTW, is there a set date the Requests for Promotion page is unlocked?

Ok then! Thanks Smashbro8 (talk) 03:36, January 6, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Redirects
Hey The Tom! Smashbro8 here. I need a couple of pages redirected. Red Dessert Avenue should be redirected to Red Desert Avenue. Morningwood Blvd. needs redirecting to Morningwood Boulevard. Adam's Apple Blvd. needs redirecting to Adam's Apple Boulevard. Bucaneer Way needs redirecting to Buccaneer Way. That's all for now! Thanks! Smashbro8 (talk) 04:21, January 7, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Ok. I'll try that now! Smashbro8 (talk) 13:36, January 7, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Thanks! But if only there was a random, unused page I could try using to learn what you've taught me! Smashbro8 (talk) 13:40, January 7, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Most Wanted Criminals
Hey The Tom! Smashbro8 here! Can you explain to me why the Most Wanted criminals in GTA IV are considered deceased? Their status is determinant since the player has the option of whether to kill them or let them live. It is not required for them to be killed unless one is pursuing 100% Completion. I'm sorry but I don't understand this. Even some of the criminals' pages on the wiki say the status is determinant. Determinant characters are not considered deceased. Smashbro8 (talk) 19:24, January 7, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

OK I see now. Thanks. Smashbro8 (talk) 23:21, January 7, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

I'm trying to prevent myself from starting this again by deleting the sentence with tire in it so whatever way people prefer spelling it doesn't constantly get changed to a different way of spelling it if this makes sense. TheAdamBomb2 (talk) 02:12, January 8, 2014 (UTC)TheAdamBomb2

I know that but that's why I deletes the sentence so anyone else(including me) that writes american english doesn't change it and get banned.

I meant constantly change it. TheAdamBomb2 (talk) 02:52, January 8, 2014 (UTC)TheAdamBomb2

Hi, The Tom, I've just been wondering why the pictures on all the articles are not uploading properly. I've ruled out that its not my internet connection. If anyone knows whats causing this it would be greatly appreciated.

Mralpha 2012

Ok so how do I tell who's giving me warnings and who that's giving me warnings is actually allowed to. TheAdamBomb2 (talk) 16:36, January 8, 2014 (UTC)TheAdamBomb2

Z-type
Hello Tom,

Me and fellow editor TheAdamBomb2  have been discussing about a note on the "Locations" section.

As it appears; Adam wrote a note about he "found a random" Z-type at the Vanilla Ice's parking lots, is this just me, or does this sound like complete nonsense to me? Everybody knows that the Z-type is only available via the internet, or by failing Eye In The Sky. Honestly, I think he's trying to create some confusion here.

Greetings,

Mitchell Maljers

I apoligize but I can't provide evidence as I can't record because I don't have a capture card or whatever it is people use to record. And if I did I wouldn't know how to send you the recording. You're going to need to either belive me or not belive me. Either way is fine. But I know it spawned for me and I don't know how to hack so I didn't hack and if I did I wouldn't hack anything unless I joined the military(hacking skills would probably be more useful in the CIA)because it's wrong to hack peoples' social networking accounts and games because I know how to or really it's wrong to do it in general.

Sorry, I forgot to sign my last message about how it's wrong to hack and I can't provide evidence about the Z-Type spawn because I don't have the tools needed. TheAdamBomb2 (talk) 19:42, January 8, 2014 (UTC)TheAdamBomb2

It appears that Cloudkit01 has edited a page I created called Air Theatre, a building in GTA V, redirecting removing all text and adding a redirection to a different Air Theatre page. When I clicked "Redirect to Air Theatre", it brought me to the "you"re creating a new article screen". I'm not 100% sure or making an accusation but I think he's doing this to take credit for the creation of air theatre. TheAdamBomb2 (talk) 19:48, January 8, 2014 (UTC)TheAdamBomb2

I don't know exactly where but it's near the Vinewood Sign. I looked it up and found pictures of it on the map and i went in game to the shown locations and found a building with the sign "Air Theatre". TheAdamBomb2 (talk) 00:58, January 9, 2014 (UTC)TheAdamBomb2

File:Dominator-GTAV-Back.jpg
Hello Tom! It appears like my computer uploaded this image as I was renaming it to "Dominator-GTAV-Rear" before I uploaded it. However it did not appear while I was doing so, I just recently found it but there's no need for it as I have uploaded the one with the right name while this somehow got uploaded too. The point is there's no need for dupes so could you please delete it?

I have a question too, as it seems like most of the images has been deleted would it be alright if I would add images from all of the vehicles (preferably from SA, IV, EFLC and V maybe even from III and VC) but use the ones on the Social Club for thumbnail of the vehicles in V?

Questions
Hi The Tom! Smashbro8 here. All though this is not much of a problem, I wanted to ask you if The Families are the same gang with a different name as the Grove Street Families or if they are two different gangs that just are similar to one another? Also the Grove Street in Grand Theft Auto V is not the same street in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas right? Smashbro8 (talk) 04:32, January 11, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Unneeded Category?
Hi Tom. I was just doing the usual editing when I came across the Gang areas category. Do we really need it? All it does is tell people that there is a gang in that area which from my view, many people won't care about. Anyway, I thought I'd come and ask you about it. What do you think? LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 10:50, January 11, 2014 (UTC)


 * I created it around 6 months ago, I started to find it a little bit useless now but I'm not completely sure if we should delete it, but if Tom agrees, I agree with deleting. Anyways, I was thinking about the category Places and its subdivsions : Places in San Fierro, L.C, V.C etc... and I think this category disturbs the organization from locations around the GTA series, plus, it's all mixed with cities from different universes ( Places in L.C in GTA III with places in GTA IV). Should we delete it too? --Thomas0802 • (talk • edits) 11:06, January 11, 2014 (UTC)

Confusion
Just a question you're edit on Chop the dog's page what did you actualy do? i checked it and do not see any difference. Ölbohrinsel 04:07, January 12, 2014 (UTC)

Feedback on Page
Hey, Tom! I created this page about the history of GTA V's title updates. I wanted to get some feedback about it, if that is okay with you. In a little while, I'll put up references so readers will know where update notes came from.

Deleting a crew page
http://gta.wikia.com/Crews/FIB_Agency. I would appreciate if you delete this incomplete crew page. I would do it myself, but I assume only someone near your rank on the wiki is allowed to delete pages.

Site background
Hi, The Tom! I was just passing through and noticed the background looks a little odd. I don't know if it was meant to look the way it does, but under the wordmark and navigation it looks as if another bg is trying to show through, perhaps tiled? Let me know if it's intended or if you might need some assistance tweaking it ;) Raylan13 ( talk ) 18:30, January 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sure thing! You can see the ss here. It's where the palm trees are to either side in the center. Raylan13 ( talk ) 19:07, January 15, 2014 (UTC)
 * I hope so ;) What's it supposed to look like? Raylan13 ( talk ) 19:10, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

Most likely - let me poke it with a stick. Raylan13 ( talk ) 19:27, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

Page??
Hey The Tom! Smashbro8 here! Is there a reason for this page to exist? I can't see how it helps us...

Thanks! Smashbro8 (talk) 19:28, January 15, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Page rename
Hi, Tom. I need this page to be renamed. "Buildings" is spelled wrong, and there also needs to be proper capitalisation. Cheers! Carl Johnson Jr. (talk) 19:39, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

TV Shows in GTA V
Hi, I noticed that the link "TV" redirects to "TV Shows in GTA IV". I think a page about GTA V TV shows should exist too, or the current one should be modified to include GTA V info. Thanks.DocVinewood (talk) 20:12, January 15, 2014 (UTC)

RE:Blocks
Yeah, when I was telling him about it, I noticed that you had blocked him previously but when I was actually setting the block, I forgot. Have you reset the block? LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 12:37, January 17, 2014 (UTC)

New wiki

 * INVITE 

Today, a new subsidiary Wiki of the GTA Wiki has been created. The new, hereafter extravagant GTA Songs Wiki.

The Wiki is about all the songs around the radio stations in the GTA series, it's hard to me to build this Wiki alone, so I'm inviting you to help a little bit, step by step, brick by brick.

I'm trying to create a Wiki, bringing articles to an identical look-a-like method. They are actually very short. The songs infoboxes should contain the name, image (offcial album cover), size, artist, radio stations, game, year and genre. The header section should look like this: Example is a song performed by Artist Example featured in the radio station Example in GameExample. The sections are the following :


 * Lyrics - you can pick one from the internet, include the at the top and bottom from the section and don't forget the colons . Remember to keep 20 free lines between the header section and the lyrics section.


 * Trivia (optional) - If the song can be listen during a cutscene (example : Arab Money).


 * Video - The best video you can find about it on Youtube.

This is an optional invite, I hope the Wiki will turn up extremely amazing in few months, just like the GTA Myths Wiki did.

Anyways, I'll ask the bureaucrats if the Wiki can become an affiliate when stronger.

Cheers! --Thomas0802 • (talk • edits) 01:27, January 19, 2014 (UTC)

Radio DJs
Hey Tom, not to bother you something or whatnot, the Radio DJs who appear themselves in every GTA games, should we add the images of them, their date of birth and what city and state they were born on their pages or leave it the way it was before? Cloudkit01 (talk) 14:53, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Page renaming
Sup, Tom. I need you to rename this page and replace the (GTA V) with (HD Universe). Thanks! Carl Johnson Jr. (talk) 16:07, January 20, 2014 (UTC)

Hey Tom. With Thomas0802's promotion, that means that there's an open spot(s) on the staff patroller team. Shall we allow people to make requests? LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 20:21, January 24, 2014 (UTC)

Hi! I represent the Russian Grand Theft Wiki. I congratulate you on the creation of the 9,000th article. We cheer for you. We hope that you will have 10,000 articles in near future.

Hey Tom. Should we start erasing all links around the quotes in the Wiki? --Thomas0802 • (talk • edits) 23:01, January 25, 2014 (UTC)

Promotion
Hey The Tom! Smashbro8 here! From where must I go to request for a promotion to be a patroller? Smashbro8 (talk) 16:39, January 26, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Should I put the request in the "Active Requests" section or where should I put it? Should it be a simple "I'd like to be a patroller"? Smashbro8 (talk) 19:37, January 26, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Must I now message staff users to let them know that I have made a Request for Promotion so that they can vote? I'm confused. Smashbro8 (talk) 18:47, January 27, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Myths Wiki redirect on homepage.
Hello, I'm a bureaucrat on the GTA Myths Wiki, and I noticed that the current logo in the "Affiliates" section is outdated. May you or another staff member please update the logo? Thanks a bunch, CommunistOverlordJim

Hey, The Tom. Let's just say that I'm really picky about which weapon I use in Grand Theft Auto 4. And what really bothering me is how on Three Leaf Clover the set me up the the M4A1. I want to use the AK-47 on that mission and it keeps setting me with the M4 so I have to use the "Poor" gun cheat after the cutscene. I know I should be alright after I enter the cheat but I really do not want anything to do with the M4A1 in that mission. I would be fine if it showed Niko with the M4A1 in the cutscene and after it I would have the AK-47. I want no cheats involved if you have a resoloution.

Business Category
Hi The Tom! Smashbro8 here! I've noticed that the Businesses category is no longer being used. Should I delete the categories from all the pages it is on? Also, what is the Companies category about? Smashbro8 (talk) 03:55, January 30, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Deleted Page
Hey Tom. I was just wondering (because the guy is telling me about it), why did you delete the page for Ortega's vehicle. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 00:02, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

Ortega's trailer
If ever you feel curious, here is the proof that you were wrong and that there really is a vehicle version of Ortega's Trailer:

It exists in the game's files as proptrailer. If you spawn it with a save editor or get one of your buddies to do it for you, you will see(Note: iirc, set bodystyle to 198 or the vehicle will be missing some walls). Next time, please do not be so close-minded when someone tries to show you proof that something does exist. TheAlphatheOmega (talk) 00:36, February 2, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Ortega's trailer
Ok, now I see where you are coming from(plus I am on my meds so I am calmer). But it is not a modded vehicle per se. The vehicle exists in the stock game files, it is just never seen outside of the mission where it replaces the static object(the game deletes the static obj and transplants the vehicle in it's place). Think of it like the RC Cam from GTA:SA. It was a vehicle to be used for a single mission(that got cut, but that is beside the point)like the trailer, but nobody even knew it existed until they went through the gamefiles. Anyways, I don't really care anymore. I thought it would be an interesting subject for an article being that it was a vehicle that nobody knew about. I still believe it should have a mention somewhere, but I don't care if it doesn't get it's own article.

In addition, the proptrailer apparently does have an "engine" because when you get in it exhaust smoke effects start coming out of vents in the top of the trailer. That makes me think that it was actually "driving" backwards when you use Trevor's truck to push it, because as you probably have seen, it is really hard to push any stationary vehicle and get it to move in GTA V.

Boat
Hey The Tom! Smashbro8 here! I was playing GTA V and came to the end of the street that connects the street to Cape Catfish and found this boat here at the fishing dock. It's named the Shitzu Santiago. Have you ever heard of such a boat in GTA V? I have pictures if you need them. 02:42, February 3, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Thanks for the Welcome
Thanks for the welcome, Tom. I will be helping any way I can. I am going through looking for broken images and then taking them and uploading them.

Hey The Tom! Smashbro8 here! I thought you had blocked MehdiFR for infinite? He replied on his talk page insulting you. Is there a way to stop him from editing his talk page? 19:48, February 3, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

You have to tick a box when you block him. LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 19:53, February 3, 2014 (UTC)

Hey The Tom, you don't feel bad about what MehdiFR said do you? By the way, did you get my message about that strange Shitzu boat I found? 23:21, February 3, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

You can see his message on his talk page if you go into history, but I wouldn't advise you too if it's gonna hurt your feelings. I asked you if you feel bad, because as an editor here, we work together, we stick together.

Also, I'm going to upload the pics and put them on your talk page for you to see. 00:25, February 4, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Okay! Tomorrow I will create the boat's page then after you have said what you think about it. BTW, if you need to find it, I found one at the fishing dock at Cape Catfish, however, I don't know if it is a permanent spawning point yet. 01:00, February 4, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Hey The Tom! Smashbro8 here! Just wanted to let you know that you should make a vote on the Requests for Promotion page so that one of us is elected to Patroller. Also, have you found the boat yet? 16:53, February 5, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

I just wanted to let you know, I am not being stubborn. This is how Franklin's house was for me after I finished the game. It was already settled. I think it probably just glitched for me if I'm wrong about it. TheAdamBomb2 (talk) 16:58, February 5, 2014 (UTC)TheAdamBomb2

I've read the comments and I also was expecting my request to be unsuccessful. I meant to close the vote and make Carl Johnson Jr. a patroller since he has all Yes except for Dodo8's vote. Don't forget to vote on him! You didn't find that boat right? 17:07, February 5, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

I know i just thought that since it was done right when I finished the game, that it was for everyone else. So I changed it one the page. I was just explaining that this is how it was for me. TheAdamBomb2 (talk) 17:11, February 5, 2014 (UTC)TheAdamBomb2

Oh ok! I'll keep that in mind! Also, I found the boat at the fishing dock (the looped road at the end) in Cape Catfish. I need to keep playing GTA V to find out if this is a permanent spawning point and I will let you know if I see the boat again. 17:14, February 5, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

New Los Santos montage
Hi, I think the HD Los Santos main page needs a new montage picture, since the older one has disappeared, along with many others in the wiki. City articles are one of the most important and most visited and this one looks bad without a main image. I'm asking you because I've done some montages and I'd like to have your permission before altering the page. These are 3 montages I've done:

http://s29.postimg.org/xrwq78t53/LSMontage.png

http://s28.postimg.org/t2a0a9cot/LSMontage2.png

http://s27.postimg.org/5nlhkuwz7/LSMontage3.png

These are some examples, but I'd like to know what you think and if any of them is good enough to be added. I can make a different one if you think another place should be added (I wanted to include Grove Street but I haven't found any good pic). If not, maybe another user can make a better one, but in any case I think the page needs a new image. Thanks! DocVinewood (talk) 19:39, February 5, 2014 (UTC)

Header image is messy
Hello,

The should be reverted to the version without the gray area present, dated 19:37, 6 May 2013, as it does not cover the buttons correctly on any other resolution other than the one Dodo8 relied on, this image is displayed on my screen with a full HD resolution (1920x1080). I recommend reverting to a clean background version of the image and adding the following CSS line to MediaWiki:Common.css (affects all layouts) or MediaWiki:Wikia.css (only affects current layout):

.WikiHeader > nav li {background: #757575}

Reverting the image and adding the CSS line will produce the following. --Lyrixn (talk) 13:45, February 6, 2014 (UTC)

Masih De Santa Sockpuppetry
I just caught Masih De Santa using another account. Compare the one I just blocked to his actual account and you will notice that they were both born on March 4th and they have both put where they live as "English". The thing that gives it away the most is the talk page on the new account which is a message posted by himself saying he hates Masih De Santa. Check it out and tell me what you think.

Properties
Another small category issue. There are two disarranged categories: Properties and Properties in Grand Theft Auto V. Which one do you think we should keep? --Thomas0802 • (talk • edits) 13:16, February 22, 2014 (UTC)


 * Fact. But I realized that businesses that can be bought by the player in previous games are referred as assets, like: Assets in GTA Vice City, Assets in GTA San Andreas, Assets in GTA Liberty City Stories etc.. but in GTA V, these assets are now known as properties. So I'm not sure if the category Properties should be a big glossary to all the properties in the series with its subcategories or we could rename all the assets pages with properties (Assets in GTA Vice City = Properties in GTA Vice City) + the categories aswell. What do you think? --Thomas0802 • (talk • edits) 20:54, February 22, 2014 (UTC)

Far Out
Was there a reason for deleting the Far out page? And should we just create sections under the page Omega for the missions given by Omega called, Far Out, and, The Final Frontier?

Template:Gtasa
Template:Gtasa links to multiple disambig pages and should be cleaned up. These include San Andreas, Los Santos, and Las Venturas. This list may not be exhaustive, it is simply to illustrate that there are more one issue on this template. I would make the changes myself, but the page editing has been locked. Nebiksrazu (talk) 14:09, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

Thank you. All done. Nebiksrazu (talk) 19:04, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

Template:Cityofliberty(GTA III Era)
Template:Cityofliberty(GTA III Era) links to the disambig page Liberty City Fire Department, but it is locked from edits. Please unlock or link it to Liberty City Fire Department (3D Universe) instead. Nebiksrazu (talk) 20:33, February 24, 2014 (UTC)

Sentence
Hey The Tom! There's a sentence on the Newport/Fort Staunton Expressway page that I'm having issues with. It makes no sense even though I tried to fix it. It is the last sentence before the "Travel" heading. Should we delete this sentence or is there a way to fix it? 21:19, February 24, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

Template:PhoneNav
Thanks for making the change to Template:Cityofliberty(GTA III Era). I have another one for you: Template:PhoneNav. It links to Fruit Computers, but should link to Fruit Computers in HD Universe, since Fruit Computers in 3D Universe never sold cell phones. Nebiksrazu (talk) 13:02, February 25, 2014 (UTC)

About Terry and Clay death
Look, i undestand and agree that Trevor would have killed Terry and Clay in that mission, i left this very clear in the first trivia that i put in that page. But, the game still gives the player an opportunity to let them both live, and i don't think this should just be ignored. I'm not saying this because i'm a desperate The Lost fan that want to believe that they are alive, no, i'm totally indifferent about it.

What i'm saying is that, if we are going to edit this page according to what we think its cannon or not, than we should by logic apply the same rule to the other pages. Michael and Trevor status should be alive, because its completely out of character for Franklin to kill either of them. Why theres one rule to Terry and Clay but another rule to the rest of the wiki?

IN MY OPINION, i think we should keep the status of both of them determinant, and let that piece of trivia there to explain why. I know the change of they live its very small and require a lot of work, but it does not matter, the change its still there! And change the status to deceased and delete the trivia its just ignore the problem, not solve it.

Answer me, so i can edit the page again or not and sorry for any english mistakes. 558050 (Talk) 16:28, February 27, 2014 (UTC)

RE:RE: About Terry and Clay death
KKKKKKKKK You REALLY don't take the trouble to have the sympathy of anyone here, or at least not mine. But you know something? I don't care. If you think thats the best way to go. Fine. This is your job, not mine after all. I was just giving you my opinion, and like i said: I'm indifferent to the destiny of this characters. Sorry for wasting your time and thank you for your attention. 558050 (Talk) 17:56, February 27, 2014 (UTC)

RE:RE:About Terry and Clay death
OK, man. I understand if you are tired of discuss about this subject. It's just that this is the first time that i was talking to you (in fact this is the first time i talk to anyone here), and right in my first response i felt offended. As you said: it's hard to perceive tone through messages, so i did not know if that was your intention, but still bothered me.

Anyway, i'm not the kind of person that would insult someone just because i don't agree with him, so if we ever talk again, i hope that i don't pass the wrong impression about me. Bye. 558050 (Talk) 19:53, February 27, 2014 (UTC)

Why did you delete my comment on Gibea's profile?

I have just noticed that you changed Gta Iv missions page back to the good old readable format, Thank you Whatever007 (talk) 17:21, March 2, 2014 (UTC)

Did you think I was the one that made the Tables on the "Gta IV missions" page? (Gibea did that)

I am sorry for the comment I made on Gibea's profile, I was frustrated by the tables he made and the poor English on the headers.

But that is no excuse and it will not happen again. Thanks again for changing back to the good old readable format.

If it is fine with you, I may contact you in the future if I notice unpleasant changes like this last one.

P.S. I have deleted the warning on my profile, I know my mistake and it will not happen again.

About "Missions in GTA IV
Eh that's okay let me try use this graph to explain, this graph is the reason why I tried to re-order and re-organize the missions after I done this image.

(Actually I'm not yet prepared to upload this version of the graph image because it still has some minor parts need to fix up for more easy to read.)

Also, I still thinking about what will it looks like if added more details in it.

Altruist Cult as a gang
Why aren't the Altruists a gang? Seeing as Merryweather and the Killer Hipsters has been added, why not the Altruists? They fit the definition; they are a group of people that get together to engage in illegal activity, in their case ritualistic murder, rape, and cannibalism. They even have their own gang attack in GTA Online. I'd say they have a better claim to be considered a gang than the Hipsters do. Polpun (talk) 00:57, March 4, 2014 (UTC)

Hey The Tom! Smashbro8 here! Would you mind offering me a hand here? 04:17, March 4, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

It's on my wiki (well not really mine's) Wii Wiki (wii.wikia.com). I have two pages based on Luigi and I wanted to merge one with the other so that it doesn't cause too much confusion. However, there is another user who edits here and disagrees with what I'm doing, thus removing what I am merging. He is the only other editor I have on the wiki (the wiki is terribly abandoned now) and I'm trying to avoid giving him a block for removing my edits. How would you handle this situation? 19:16, March 4, 2014 (UTC)Smashbro8

RE: RE: About Missions in GTA IV
It's okay to follow the style as before, and it's okay to leave the order as before at this moment. Actually what I still thinking about how to do is found out the way to make it as the "Missions Unlocks & Unlocked By" graph pic I post above, but the mission names are able to click for link. Personally that pic is very useful for me to read the actual structure of which mission unlocks the others, but it still need more explanation to fit the standard for show to public.

Mob and Crime Family
Please, Tom, don't make any rush decisions. We already have articles about Korean Mob and Albanian Mob, so the word itself is correct enough.

The problem is, we don't know if Bonelli's mob can be called the entire mafia family. It's suppose it being big enough and has a strong hierarchy. As far as we know, it's just bunch of goons, so please, rename it back to mob, until we know more. "Crime Family" is something like Ancelottis or Messinas.

Also, I don't even know what kind of term this is, "Crime Family". LCPD Database uses term "Crime Syndicate" and people use term "Family".
