Hi dude, I just wanted to tell you why did you removed the birth year of Victor Vance? It was on every GTA Wiki.

:I removed it because there's no official source to confirm the birth years. Other wikis don't count as reliable sources, anyway. If a character reveals his/her age or birth year (in)directly during an in-game mission, that's one thing; but most, if not all, of those birth years appeared to have been made up on the spot.

SVU: Payback

Could you please check out: Talk:Payback (Law & Order: Special Victims Unit)? Thank you!--SVU4671 (talk) 11:45, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Sure thing; I will leave a reply there sometime later today. Davejohnsan (talk) 14:28, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I keep trying to make positive & credible edits to it, and some guy - Chip123456 - keeps citing to keep the page a redirect, even though there is WAY more [credible] info on the page than prior to it's redirect.--SVU4671 (talk) 17:33, 20 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I think I understand why he is redirecting your article, but he has an extremely poor argument. The article definitely has room for improvement (for example, too many primary sources), but in my opinion it has enough content to merit its own article. From what I can see, you have done plenty to try to reach out him so that you two can discuss this, but if he keeps reverting, I would not hesitate to go to WP:3RRN or WP:RPP.

Re: Donald Cragen

I've gone ahead and moved the Cragen info from my user space into the main page, and expanded the lede section. I had hoped to work that article up to GA status. I don't think it's quite there yet, but I think it's close. Let me know if you have any thoughts. — Hunter Kahn 03:29, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I think the only thing the article needs is some proofreading before it is ready for a GA nomination. As much as I'd love to help, I won't have any time this week between finals, graduation, and other stuff. You did a great job with the article! Davejohnsan (talk) 21:14, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I wasn't looking for help, just feedback, so don't worry. :) The SVU section is still unsourced and there are a few other sources I'd like to review to possibly add content before I nominate it for GA, but I agree, it's close. Thanks again! — Hunter Kahn 22:21, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Oh, good, that means one thing I won't have to worry about. I still would like to help with proofreading, but since you're much better at finding sources for these articles, I'm more than happy to leave the article expansion to you. Davejohnsan (talk) 23:15, 23 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Unsourced birthyear

Hi dude, I just wanted to tell you why did you removed the birth year of Victor Vance? It was on every GTA Wiki. Let me know if you have any contradicting evidence. gtajaxoxo ©® 13:51, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

I removed it because there's no official source to confirm the birth years. Other wikis don't count as reliable sources, anyway. If a character reveals his/her age or birth year (in)directly during an in-game mission, that's one thing; but most, if not all, of those birth years appeared to have been made up on the spot. Davejohnsan (talk) 14:23, 29 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with most of those things, but Tommy Vercetti said in-game that he was 35 years old by 1986, and he was 20 by the Harwood Massacre. So, that makes him born in 1951, also Kent Paul said in one mission (but I don't know what) that he moved to the US in 1984 when he was 17, so that makes him 1967. And I noted that Avery Carrington doesn't have the killed in 1998 parenthesis, even though he was killed in GTA: Liberty City Stories (which was set in 1998, according to the game, which says it was set three years before GTA III). Anyway, thanks for reminding me that, as most characters don't have much released biographies released by Rockstar Games, and many wikis and GTA Fan Sites yet do that.
