Re: Insults
Good day, sir/madam. In answer to the message that you sent to my colleague, I believe that he removed "Diaper Napoli" due to it not being quoted by any characters in-game, not because it is insulting. If a nickname is specifically quoted by a character in-game, regardless of if it is insulting, it should be listed in the "Also known as" section of the Infobox of the character whom the name refers to.

 * I had put it there, but your colleague removed it, claiming it was an insult and those aren't supposed to be there. It was said by Trevor, which I included.

 * Insults are only aliases under the right conditions. For example, if someone called me a "dickhead", that isn't necessarily an alternative name for me, it is merely an insult. Only direct references to other people, places or things are considers aliases. Monk (Bureaucrat.png Bureaucrat ) Talk 22:31, November 30, 2018 (UTC)


 * Well, the insult was "Diaper Napoli." SavagePanda845 00:12, December 2, 2018 (UTC)


 * "Diaper Napoli" is clearly a reference to Al Di Napoli, and therefore can be considered an alias. I give you permission to add the information back, since I believe that it is relevant information regarding the character.

 * I shall re-add it. Thank you. SavagePanda845 20:27, December 4, 2018 (UTC)

Hi folks, sorry haven't been around much the last week or so, just monitoring by phone... I'm happy to have this reinstated. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 21:16, December 4, 2018 (UTC)

DEO/DOA and other things
1stly, a note of Appreciation for the good work you have been doing. Thanks.

Regarding the DEA mention in GTA Online, it is clearly stated and used in subtitles, so that is what the page must report. There was already an explanatory notation in the lead section of the 3D Universe Drug Enforcement Administration article, which I have now expanded upon for further clarity. As mentioned, it may be a similar scenario to the FBI/FIB textures in GTA III 10th Anniversary edition (i.e. Universal co-existence?). We can mention it, and draw some conclusion that it may be oversight, on that page.

We are making an article for the Madrazo Files (similar to the Diamonds). The Finale cutscene clearly shows more than just a photo, and the Union Depository meeting memo document and e-mail are in the process of being transcribed (they aren't just generic Lorem Ipsum text).

I've also changed Dr Dre's quote to the part about his personal details being on his phone, as we want the quotes to reveal something about the character if available. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 21:25, 4 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Sounds good. Thanks for letting me know. Sorry, I haven't checked my talk page in awhile. SavagePanda845 16:08, 12 February 2021 (UTC)

Apologies
For the revert yo-yo on Tracey De Santa and Steve Haines. The "re-runs" line needs some work still, but my initial reasoning was flawed. We are separating GTA V and GTA O pretty much everywhere else, so I guess the TV "appearances" are just as valid (i.e. pretty much every character who appears on TV in GTA V also appears on TV in GTA O). They shouldn't really be labelled re-runs though, since a new GTA O player playing through the "Online Story/Tutorial" actually technically starts playing before the events of GTA V and can actually watch Tracey before she even appears on the show (an anachronism that has been mentioned on several pages).

 * No worries! Maybe something like (On TV) could be placed next to Grand Theft Auto Online in the infobox. As for calling them reruns, I only said that because you can view the episodes multiple times. SavagePanda845 (Talk) 13:47, 10 June 2021 (UTC)

Photos as appearances
Nope. I've removed the example you cites as well. If we go down that route, Tavell Clinton appears in any mission that involves Franklin's house, the entire DeSanta family and a couple of their friends/neighbours "appear" in every mission that involves the interior of Michael's house, Mallorie Bardas would "appear" in any mission involving the Bohan Safehouse interior... etc etc What next, TV on in a cutscene, who appears on that TV show... they appeared in the mission. Just, no. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 14:24, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Our messages crossed in the mail, as noted above, I've deleted the cited example. A "focussed photo" example would be something like Frank Mathers. You'll note he is not cited as appearing in the mission his photo is shown in. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 14:26, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Understood. I thought about that and figured it would only be listed if the mission specifically focuses on the photo, such as in Scouting the Port when Trevor throws the photo on the ground, but I guess not. Thank you for letting me know. SavagePanda845 (Talk) 14:28, 11 June 2021 (UTC)
 * All good, as I typed the TV exaggeration point, I thought there is at least one where a TV appearance does count (not including live CCTV observations obviously, which clearly are counted as appearances). Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 14:35, 11 June 2021 (UTC)

"Unseen Appearance"
Do you know the meaning of the words "Appearance" and "Unseen"? kamikatsu_ (Talk) 21:13, 2 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I was doing it based off of the fact it was allowed on Joe Lawton and George Lawton's pages. SavagePanda845 (Talk) 03:37, 3 January 2022 (UTC)

Armenian Mob
There is no indication the Mob are running the club, they have occupied it to hold the watch hostage. That is all. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 01:06, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * But that means they are technically affiliated with it, although briefly. SavagePanda845 (Talk) 18:22, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * No, it doesn't. Smurfy: illuminate - communicate - spectate 22:11, 17 January 2022 (UTC)

To point out specifics, please refrain from adding spaces to file names, as well as the general format for character images of "CharacterName-GameAbbreviation-ShortDescriptionIfNecessary". Thank you. BolbiiS (Talk ~ Edits) 17:40, 18 January 2022 (UTC)

Didn't notice your warning from February. Here's some addtional specifics to keep in mind as well as the above: Thank you. BolbiiS (Talk ~ Edits) 21:51, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Please do not crop your screenshots; please keep them at a standard resolution.
 * Please remember to add licenses to your files, you can see how to do that in the Image License Guide above.
 * Sorry, I only saw this now. I'll be sure to add licenses in the future.
 * SavagePanda845 (Talk) 02:23, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you. If you could, please add licenses to your existing files by editing each file and adding   to them, as I have done to your recent file upload here (as well as change the name to a policy-compliant version). Additionally, please replace your existing cropped files with uncropped versions. Thanks again. Office-HUDIcon-GTAO.gif BolbiiS Office-HUDIcon-GTAO.gif (Talk ~ Edits) 02:31, 19 January 2022 (UTC)

Image Names
OK, this is getting more than a little annoying now. What part of the naming rules is hard to understand? The first part of an image name should reflect the page it is intended to appear on (or main page subject when an image suits multiple pages. There are no page names like AmandaPrologue, TrevorSTFU AmandaHoldsMichael, AmandaYoga etc etc so your images should not be named like that. Fix them or they will be deleted (again).

 * Sorry, man. I'm trying the best I can.
 * SavagePanda845 (Talk) 05:18, 19 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Listen, we understand you are trying the best you can, but your recent uploads are still not compliant with the policy. Please remember that file names should be PageTitle-GameAbbreviation-ShortDescriptionIfNecessary, not ShortDescription-GameAbbreviation-ShortDescriptionIfNecessary. To see how to rename your images (apologies for not linking that earlier), you can see that here. Additionally, when renaming your files, please change the abbreviations to GTAVe and GTAOe respectively, in accordance with the updated Media Policy.
