User talk:Smurfynz

Pet hate grammar abomination of the week: "x is based off of y".

It can be based on or based upon, but it is never based off or based off of.

We must terminate this with extreme prejudice wherever it is found.

Cognoscenti
Hey dont be mad or anything and i know you cant edit till after jan 5th so i am asking you to take your time. The car cognoscenti is pronounced conyoscenthi or so and i could edit it but dont know the whole format of (pronounced con-yo-scenti) and even my grammar aint that good so could you do this once you get the chance. I am asking this cause the vehicle furore GT got something like that,  Thank you.Shadow Polaris( Talk ) 15:05, January 4, 2015 (UTC)

Promotion
Hey Smurfy, non-staff members can also vote, I voted for you already, Sam did too, however, Dan (Messi1983), Tony 98 and Mikey Klebitz are inactive and McJeff only votes "no" so it's not that worthy xD

But don't worry, everybody will vote "yes", i'm 100% sure of that. ( talk ) 00:11, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Oh, thanks for this, I never noticed! ( talk ) 00:46, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Put in a vote. Obviously; yes. Leo68 (talk) 03:44, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Done. Congrats in advance for your promotion. Looks like I'll be the newest patroller for a very short time :) DocVinewood (talk) 09:54, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Congrats
Congrats on your new 'Patroller' promotion, nice work! :) (talk) 19:41, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Congratulations
Congratulations on your promotion. Happy patrolling. :) SJWalker (talk) 19:45, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Congrats!
Congratulations on being a patroller! You're the best! Mortsnarg (talk) 23:07, January 5, 2015 (UTC)

Patroller
Congratulations, man. Welcome to the gang. Most of the patrollers will be on hand to help if you need it, mainly myself, Smashbro and Rain. Leo68 (talk) 04:16, January 6, 2015 (UTC)

Re:Modified vehicles
Fair enough. Thanks for letting me know. 08:54, January 6, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
Hey man. Didn't get back here on time to vote for the Request.

Congrats, you're the newest member of the Staff. I haven't been active as of late and therefore know not what you have done to deserve the Patroller rank, but if everybody voted "Yes" for your RFP, then I guess I'll take their vote for it.

If you need help, advice, etc. you already know this is where I'm at:

Mikey Klebbitz (talk) 21:48, January 6, 2015 (UTC)

Congrats
I know it is  bit late but i just wanted you to know you have everyones full support. Congratulations on you promotion.Shadow Polaris( Talk ) 07:27, January 7, 2015 (UTC)

Promotion
Hey Smurfy, not too long that you have been promoted, but I sent another request :P vote there please. ( talk ) 15:15, January 7, 2015 (UTC)


 * Certainly you wouldn't, he was very different a long time ago, if I come to this point, than anybody can just tell me, but okay, I appreciate your honesty and Doc's honesty too, I know that I made mistakes discussing with Rain, but you know, he has gone too far and I didn't fell good with his departure, but it had to be done... Also, if I wasn't going to send a promotion request, than Monkeypolice188 would, and he would certainly get it. [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk ) 22:48, January 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Why not? [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk ) 22:52, January 7, 2015 (UTC)
 * Well, WildBrick is not interested to apply the patroller position and 558 has a poorer grammar than me, i'll admit, they both are potential to be patrollers, WildBrick definitely do, I told him he could get to a patroller position, but he said "I'm not interested, maybe in the future", and also, Monkeypolice has helped the wiki greatly, he is not that bad, he ain't bad at all, Smashbro also recommended him to apply the position... Also, I will try my best if I get the patroller position, as I said to Leo, if I do anything wrong, please, tell me. [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk ) 00:06, January 8, 2015 (UTC)

Eh, would love to apply but there are a few things that make me unable to;
 * 1) All 8 patroller spaces are filled (Well, Andre didn't get the promotion yet, but he fully deserves to be a patroller so it wouldn't be right just taking it from him)
 * 2) I am a V and Online section led-by at GTAForums. I could work in both places at the same time but I don't want to add too much work to do on me for now because...
 * 3) ...I have important exams in February and very important exams in June so I'd prefer to focus more on study rather than internet.

Maybe in June, maybe in a few weeks, maybe even in a few days. I'll apply someday but at the moment I don't have much time to do so.

Staff Pic
Hey there. I changed something so that your name should start appearing orange soon, and I need you to pick a staff pic that is a piece of artwork from any GTA (use the other Staff images for help). LS11sVaultBoy (Talk) 17:24, January 7, 2015 (UTC)

Reply
Well it's somehow hard not to notice your message with this large box in the bottom right corner. I'm giving myself a last chance not to leave GTA with the Heists Update; if it is terrible, then I'll say "Fuck you Rockstar". If you have messages for me, try my Community message wall instead. Oh and it's bonne chance. 08:25, January 8, 2015 (UTC)

Rubber gun
I saw you discussing with Camilo about the Rubber gun, I wanted to say that this gun could be a paintball gun as well, why not? But I just didn't add this information to the article, because it's too much of a speculation. ( talk ) 12:15, January 8, 2015 (UTC)

75988
Don't warn him again, i'm reporting him right now. ( talk ) 22:25, January 8, 2015 (UTC)

Pictures
If we can add a license to other user's pictures, then it's okay, you did that to Poppy Mitchel's arrest picture, then I added a license to  and  too, as they look good. ( talk ) 01:44, January 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * Good idea, i'll do it when something like this happens, like I did to Mortsnarg, telling him friendly how to add a picture, despite the fact that he's in this wiki since 2013 I think, in the case of that Pigalle picture, I don't need to warn the author (DonVecta) as it was added a long time ago and the picture is named properly, but if he adds a picture without a license, i'll give him a friendly warning. [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk ) 02:02, January 9, 2015 (UTC)


 * You teached me that, it was a few weeks ago when I uploaded the Shark sculpture image, i'm glad you teached me that, I usually do this when I upload more than two pictures. [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk ) 02:19, January 9, 2015 (UTC)

Hey man. I need help. Remember my Trevor's face idling video?So,I see that you're posting pictures,and you told that you can't snap content for 2 weeks.Are you back now?Do Michael,Trevor and Franklin please,that would be real nice from you. LeoBykov (talk) 15:32, January 9, 2015 (UTC)

FPS
Hey, you mentioned how you could do with people telling you if a vehicle page is missing an interior FPS Image, well, there isn't one on the Fire Truck or Sadler page, and only a useless one on the Police Interceptor page, if you could add the FPS image to these that would be great, thanks :)  (talk) 17:11, January 9, 2015 (UTC)

Also, when you get a chance, could you get a better Police Stinger image for the infobox on that page, the picture seems to be too dark on the right side of the car. it is quite hard to see without having to move and tilt your head! (talk) 17:34, January 9, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
Well, I don't know what's happening to the talk page when I edit it :/. Anyway, I did want to ask you since you are good at vehicles if you believe the fighter jet in the Heists Update trailer is the Hydra. I keep looking at its pictures versus the Lazer's, and to me, they look a little too similar to Lazers. I believe they are Lazers with new camoflauge coloring. I don't see any differences. 20:17, January 9, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

Okay thanks so much! I now see the differences. However, I still think we should not add too many pics or info of the Hydra on its page, because it is still unconfirmed. Assumptions can be wrong sometimes. 21:02, January 9, 2015 (UTC)Smashbro8

FPS Images
Thanks, i will try to find more, as i did see a few missing a while ago, but i forgot them :(. Ill keep looking!  (talk) 20:24, January 9, 2015 (UTC)

Police Riot
BTW, Ive added a police riot interior view that is 'temporary' until you get yours (yours will be better, probably), just to keep your mind at rest :)  (talk) 22:08, January 9, 2015 (UTC)

Rhino Tank FPS
Even though the Rhino tank doesn't have a realistic 'first person view', i still think it would be worth documenting the Turret view, which Rockstar actually call the tank's first peron view (i know how it really isnt, but it still needs to be on the page). (talk) 12:06, January 10, 2015 (UTC)

Yo,
Not sure why you have reverted the updates made on the Kuruma page, I've deleted the picture with "Kuruma" on the back with Lester because it's about the car, not about the word on how to spell it.

Reticle (talk) 14:09, January 10, 2015 (UTC)

WTF?!
why did you delete my page?

Vehicle Stats
A good way would be to just use the current table design we use, and add the info designated in the stats table on the webstite into our wiki tables. Thats quite hard to explain, but the info in the stats box is good enough to go on the tables here on the wiki. Just put it on the vehicle pages for each one. Sorry if that doesn't make much sense, i typed it really fast... :)  (talk) 22:01, January 11, 2015 (UTC)

RE: In-line disambiguity links
If you are referring to the Dumper page I just edited, that template was already put there by someone else and I just fixed the grammar.

Good to know though! Switch101 (talk) 21:22, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

Blista Compact
Why did you remove all the categories on the Blista Compact article? ( talk ) 22:08, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

IDK
I've driven back and forth about 5-10 times past Higgins Helitours and the Frogger does not spawn at all. Maybe its glitched, but possibly patched for me, even though its not true. And buying a helicopter for myself is way too pricey, so unless I'd get to $2M and afford a heli, I spent it on a third property for additional vehicles. I'm at rank 228, so unless that's the case, the Frogger fails to spawn for me, no matter how many times I drove around in order for it to spawn. 22:19, January 12, 2015 (UTC)
 * Thanks. In the meantime, I'll just find a way to raise money so I can get myself a chopper for High Priority Case. JohnSignature.jpg 02:27, January 13, 2015 (UTC)
 * Its possible with Pegasus. Otherwise, its pretty much a glitch for that that doesn't allow the Frogger to be spawned at all. JohnSignature.jpg 02:54, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

Dilettante
God be praised. I found someone who doesn't hate the Prius, I don't hate it either, it's ugly, but not that bad, well I like the Chevy Volt and the Nissan Leaf more than the Prius, but it's still desirable, in GTA, the Dilettante is desirable with good handling, but very low durability, the Surge is better.

But the least desirable car in the game is in fact the Regina, man this car is like a turtle, it looks attractive but it takes us very long to reach from Davis to Vinewood hills, i'd rather go on foot until a better car shows up. ( talk ) 23:20, January 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * It's okay, Smashbro told me that, I just never heard that before. [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk ) 23:37, January 12, 2015 (UTC)

RE:Chicken
Seems about right. By the way, why did you put all that span stuff in the hiperlinks? I keep seeing that in some pages and it always botters me, because it seems that it doesn't make any difference in the page. 558050 Talk 23:21 January 12, 2015 (UTC)


 * Yeah. I still find a lot of span here, specially in old pages. You should have seem the Missions in GTA Chinatown Wars page, Jesus, that one almost made me cry. 558050 Talk 23:39 January 12, 2015 (UTC)

Lester's house
Apologies Smurf, I hadn't realised. SJWalker (talk) 23:46, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

Solomon Richards quote
I've been on that page before time and time again and I just felt that the quote used at the end of The Ballad of Rocco was a more fitting quote to Solomon Richards character and described him and his business in a much broader scope instead of a smaller more mission specific one. The quote that was originally on there wasn't necassarily bad,  but the one that I found in the Ballad of Rocco has a lot more meaning to the character rather than the mission. Mortsnarg (talk) 23:55, January 13, 2015 (UTC)

American english vs. Brittish english
The same goes with "Hood" or "Bonnet", I had to talk to Sam about that once, both are right, but it depends on where you live, me for an examble, I always say "Trunk" and "Hood" instead of "Boot" and "Bonnet". ( talk ) 00:22, January 14, 2015 (UTC)


 * Another problem I had with brittish english was their accent, some words sounds different, I couldn't understand a few words (and some words are better to understand in Brittish english) [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk ) 00:38, January 14, 2015 (UTC)

Subway train
I agreed with him now, now I know the reason for keeping separete pages, Subway for stations, tracks and everything else, Car for the train itself. ( talk ) 21:36, January 14, 2015 (UTC)

Little Portola
Can you give your opinion here? Thegtaseeker96 (talk) 00:44, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Andreas
I did.... I'm not sure that you read the whole piece of trivia. It was addressing the speculation surrounding it and why it doesn't work. The similarities are there, but they aren't prominent enough to make it so Andreas and Andreas Sanchez are the same person. The reason I put the piece of trivia there was to debunk that theory that was popularized by GTASeriesVideos and possibly mislead folks into thinking that. Mortsnarg (talk) 03:49, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Yes, but I've seen people on this wiki that seem to still think this. On the Andreas Sanchez page there's a person that is asking the very question because of the video that GTASeriesVideos posted and the multiple similarities between the two. If you don't like a piece of trivia that goes in depth about then just a passing mention so people don't start posting actual speculation repeatedly about this. Mortsnarg (talk) 04:47, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

It's alright. I'm still learning what is and isn't necassary on the wiki and how to prevent an edit war. I'm trying and I have certainly made progress since several months back as to what to put on the wiki. Thanks for the response. Mortsnarg (talk) 06:33, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Based on/Based off
I never used that term "based off", can I even find this in the english dictionary? I'll help you removing this from articles if I see any of these cases. ( talk ) 12:23, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Blista Compact
Hey Smurfynz, could you get a better picture of the Dinka Blista Compact (for the infobox), when you get a chance? (talk) 19:47, January 15, 2015 (UTC)

Tommy Vercetti
Forgive me if this looks stupid but... "Despite his hot temper" is right? ( talk ) 20:25, January 15, 2015 (UTC)


 * Some time ago, all the "metioned" appearances were removed, but if you say so... [[Image:Signature.png|105px|link=User:AndreEagle17|AndreEagle17]] ( talk ) 20:36, January 15, 2015 (UTC)
