Image naming
Good day sir/madam, I have noticed that you have recently uploaded (File:GTA-V-Muscle-Vapid-Dominator-Left.jpg) this image]] of the Dominator. Since the image has not been posted to any articles, I have decided not to issue you with an official reminder of the Media Policy, but I wish to inform you that the way you have named that image does not correctly follow the Policy. Images of that nature should be named in this manner: ObjectName-GameName-DescriptionIfNecessary. In the case of your image, it should be named like this: "Dominator-GTAV-Left.jpg" (without the inverted commas). Thank you.

Events articles
Fantastic work, I must say! Remember to update this, though ;) I also responded to your message on the events talk page. Monk ( Bureaucrat ) Talk 14:16, October 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * And the same from me. I was actually about to post a "thank you for the positive contributions" message here to you yesterday just before you added the message to the A/Hours article talk page. It is appreciated. One thing I will point out in your work, you don't need to un-link redlinks whenever you see them. In many cases they are left there deliberately to remind us that the pages are needed. It is an integral functional part of a growing wiki. See Wanted Pages list for examples, some of which you have been striking off with your work. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 23:14, October 31, 2018 (UTC)
 * Ah, ok, I understand. I won't un-link anything else. Matrexpingvin (talk) 07:46, November 1, 2018 (UTC)

Manufacturer articles
Hi there. The pages were recently reorganized by Camilo Flores into order of variants+type, rather than alphabetical order. However, since alphabetical order does make more sense in tabular form, I will not let your hard work go to waste. :) Monk ( Bureaucrat ) Talk 19:45, December 20, 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the information, I understand and I'll leave the rest of those articles alone. Next time, I'll make sure I ask on the talk page/Discord when I'm in a dilemma whether or not I'm doing things correctly, but I should just stick to making event weeks for now haha. --Matrexpingvin (talk) 20:41, December 20, 2018 (UTC)

Undownloadable images
¿Why when i want to download any of your images, it appeears Error: with block? 21:42, December 26, 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, I've never run into a problem like this before, so I haven't a clue, really. Most of the images I uploaded here are from the Rockstar Newswire anyway, so go over there to download them if you can't here. --Matrexpingvin (talk) 22:56, December 26, 2018 (UTC)

Regarding marking edits as minor
Hello again. I have noticed that you are marking almost all your edits as minor, including the ones that make significant changes to the page concerned. While it is not against the Policy to do so, I would strongly advise that you only mark edits that are actually minor (i.e., making small grammatical changes, adding the "Clr" template and other small formatting changes, etc.), while even apparently small changes such as adding another word or sentence that changes the overall meaning of that sentence or paragraph should not be marked as minor. For example, changing the sentence "this is minor changes" to "this is a minor change" or "these are minor changes" is considered minor, as it only fixes the grammar of the sentence without changing the meaning, but changing "this is a minor change" to "this is a minor change with little consequence" is not considered minor, as it adds to the original sentence and potentially changes its meaning. For more information, please refer to Help:Minor edit. Please attempt to follow this guideline in the future. Thank you.

 * I will admit, the "minor edit" button was always a grey area for me as I always ticked it when I didn't edit as much and/or just added information from other pages (3 arena variants, ...). Thanks for letting me know the proper way to do it and I'll stick to it. Matrexpingvin (talk) 06:29, January 22, 2019 (UTC)


 * You are most welcome. By the way, I generally prefer responses to my messages to be left on my own Talk page so that I am notified by the system, but you may continue to post your replies on your Talk page if you wish, though I would advise you to leave a note saying so at the top of your Talk page if you do this so that other users know where to look for your replies.

Promotion
Good day. I am pleased to announce that you have passed your Request for Promotion and are now a Patroller with no probation period! As my first official Bureaucratic action, I have promoted you. Now that you are a Staff member, please select an artwork from the many available across the Grand Theft Auto series to use as a Staff picture. Also, you may choose a flag icon to represent your background or nationality. The flag does not need to be that of the country that you reside in: in my own case, I live in Australia, but my flag icon is that of Singapore, where most of my family are from and live. I will apply the flag of Slovenia for now, but you may change this if you wish.

Regarding tense used on event week pages
Good day. While I commend you for your good work on creating articles for event weeks, I would strongly suggest that you use appropriate tense for articles concerning events that are current or have not yet happened. For example, an article for an event that has not yet occurred, but is scheduled to, should begin with "[event name] will be an event running from [start date] to [end date]" (or something similar), while a current event should use "is" instead of "was".

 * I strongly discourage that. Having to keep on top of them is painful enough as it is, without having to remember to change the tense for an article that probably 0 people even read before the event was over. I can understand the shortcut he's taken and I don't really see a problem with it. Monk (Bureaucrat.png Bureaucrat ) Talk 14:58, February 4, 2019 (UTC)


 * You make a fair point, Monk. Very well: while I still suggest using the tense as described in my last message (though I no longer strongly suggest it), I will leave it to you to decide how to do it, and I will not object either way.

Premier
Man, are you fucking kidding me? Why are you deleting edits about Premier?

You're so blind, you don't notice the similarities between these cars.

Gifs
Hey, Matrex! how did you convert the videos to gifs about the GTA V events in less than 10MB? i want to do this, but exceeds the MB limit. For example i want to convert this video of the Speed Week event in Spanish to put in this same article in the spanish GTA wiki like you do in the English wiki. ¿Anyone how to reduce the weight of megabytes to upload that gif?

Here's a comparison about my MB and your MB

-- 02:29, March 24, 2019 (UTC)


 * Hello! I use a site called Ezgif to convert videos to GIFs. After the conversion, there is an "optimize" button below the converted file. You can then choose how you want to reduce file size; I just use the standard one it selects (compression). Matrexpingvin (talk) 07:50, March 24, 2019 (UTC)

Sabre Turbo trivia change
Why did you remove my edit to the Sabre Turbo's trivia section? That was a perfectly valid piece to add and i'm quite upset you removed it. Can you explain your reasoning as to why you did? ExodusBF4 (talk) 05:59, May 8, 2019 (UTC)ExodusBF4


 * GTA Wiki:What Didn't Happen. <font size="4" face="Arial Narrow">Noirlime <font face="Arial Narrow">Talk 08:05, May 8, 2019 (UTC)

Alright, is it fine if i undo the deletion he made, but remove the part about me speculating if the rear headlights are a throwback? I think that should be included in the trivia, but i am fine with removing the speculation part (it does look silly now that i think about it)

Invisible Wall
Why did you deleted the contribution of the Invisible wall? Really vague? I mean, I don't understand why this contribution has been removed instead of rewrited, if the post has several gramatic errors (my natural language is Spanish). And I don't know if this is a hitbox problem (I don't know either what you would say). The thing it's that I am confused because a staff member has removed some new information that will help with the wiki in question, because in truth, this is a glitch/bug. Thanks for reading.


 * That is a hitbox error, not a glitch per se. There are many examples of this in the game, for example, there is a big hitbox problem on Elysian Island, where the road appears significantly lower than its hitbox, making the car seem like it is floating. These aren't notable glitches. Matrexpingvin (talk) 08:54, May 21, 2019 (UTC)


 * Can I post it in the LS International Airport's wiki at least? I think that this is a curiosity that could be writed here to inform. Addri Trainer (talk) 02:00, May 30, 2019 (UTC)


 * No, I don't think a hitbox error should be there either. Matrexpingvin (talk) 06:56, May 30, 2019 (UTC)

APC edits
You didn't even give a reason as to why my edits are being undone. I'm sick of this, fuck you. I'll take my leave and go. I'm not going to try and contribute to a wiki full of butthurt mods who don't understand that i'm making good edits.

Toilet Cleaner
Matrexpingvin, I'm referring to this Spill Magic logo: https://www.google.com/search?q=spill+magic+logo&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwibmfq2gNXiAhXlUN8KHT1KBBYQ_AUIECgB&biw=1536&bih=745&dpr=1.25#imgdii=XVCcq_AgU4RjXM:&imgrc=juj8xrsJKGzgSM: --TheCarson116 (talk) 13:58, June 6, 2019 (UTC)
 * Hmm, ok, that one is more similar than the one I was looking at. You can add it to the page again, but maybe put it at the end of the "Description", where Daz is already mentioned as another possible influence. Matrexpingvin (talk) 14:19, June 6, 2019 (UTC)

RE: Vortex
There. I deleted the disambig page and reverted all instances of "Vortex (hovercraft)", hopefully. :) -- SWAT Cam F     17:49, June 14, 2019 (UTC)

Image
No idea why it is there, but luckily, that awful, deep-fried image has been deleted, so we don't see that again. Ha ha. -- SWAT Cam F     19:57, June 16, 2019 (UTC)
