Location's criteria for inclusion

District names or minor locales are not necessary in the locations section or this article. Locations only referenced in speech once or twice are not notable enough to be included, while Bullworth and Carcer City, which are not featured in any GTA games, nevertheless are featured as the settings of non-GTA games set in GTA canon. In the case of the districts or neighborhoods, it's only repeating what would be provided in articles on respectable cities (such as the inclusion of "New Guernsey", which is only a neighborhood in Liberty City). This article is only intended to provide an overview of locales, and is to be keep at a minimal (leaving out said info). ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶ 13:40, 7 January 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Video game sales

Obviously we need to obtain sales for the whole GTA series as a whole. I mean we all know this is obviously one of the biggest selling franchises of all time as a whole. You guys got 1 week to put it in, or that's it. I'll make up some B.S. figure. 21:37, 20 January 2007 (UTC)

Bullworth

There are some who belive at Wikipedia that Bullworth is not in the GTA Univirse just because Bullworth hasen't been mentiond in any GTA Games yet. But in the Auto Shop Class there is a Diablo Stalion parked! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sean mc sean (talk • contribs) 14:14, 25 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

That doesn't prove anything. That could simply be an easter egg. Better yet, how can you assume it's a "Diablo Stallion". Have you seen anything else that could prove it's in the GTA universe? All of it is speculation. Find some hard proof it's connected to the GTA universe besides "there's a Diablo Stallion parked in Auto Shop Class." ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit me § Contributions ♣ 20:42, 25 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Cover Art

Has anyone else noticed that every game from III onward(excluding Adcance) has had a helicopter in the upper left corner? And if so, should this be noted? - 206.159.155.148 13:52, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It's already mentioned. ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶ 14:30, 28 January 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

Timeline

Hey what happend to the Timeline? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sean mc sean (talk • contribs) 20:56, 28 January 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Why? Sean mc Sean 04:07, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It was unsourced and basically useless; no use outside of "fandom." ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit me § Contributions ♣ 04:11, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The "Guerseys"

Some (perhaps, one) users believe that the Guernseys should be placed in the article, just because they (or rather, he) "think" that they, the Guernseys, are not part of Liberty City in GTA 1. First off, the only cities noted in GTA 1 are Liberty, Vice, and San Andreas, so that's disproven. Also, if 2 districts of a city are added into this, then why aren't all of the others that have real life counter parts (Note that 90% of the neighborhoods in GTA cities are based off of real ones of their respectives cities, so it would be utterly ridiculous to add all of them.). ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit me § Contributions ♣ 00:24, 29 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The editor in question was asserting that the Guerseys, he thought, are cities in their own right, and should be include. Nevertheless, this is, as I agree with you, redundant and encourages exessive listing of more neighborhoods. It's also becoming apparent he's taking this issue personally. ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶ 10:15, 1 February 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]
  • I belive that if Rockstar Games were ever to have a gta game set in a state and city based off New Jersey and Jersey City that they would be called New Guernsey and Guernsey City. - Sean mc Sean 23:13, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Wikipedia isn't about what you believe, but what can be proven. Even then, has it been announced that the next game's city will be based off of New Jersey of Jersey City? Even then, GTA 1 was retconned, so you can basically disregard everything in GTA 1. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 23:26, 1 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Please try to be reasonable about this. Both cities are not "stand alone" cities, such as Vice City or San Fierro, so they shouldn't be added. ♣ Klptyzm Chat wit' me § Contributions ♣ 00:03, 2 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Note that Wikipedia it's pretty clear that it doesn't promote writing based on personal opinion. I'm not objecting your edits based on personal reasons, but simply Wikipedia guidelines. ╫ ２５ ◀RingADing▶ 10:55, 3 February 2007 (UTC) ╫[reply]

GTA Collectors Edtion

In the future I might decidingly (if thats a word) add a GTA Collectors Edtion once enough information has been gathered.
So far I know that it contains

  • GTA
  • GTA London
  • GTA2

I will add the heading and further information in the future.
Discuss wether it is a good idea or not.

Time periods of GTA games

Shouldn't the time periods of Vice City,Vice City Stories, Liberty City Stories and San Andreas be listed here...I've added them but if someone disagrees feel free to delete but then please tell the reason. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 85.145.149.85 (talk) 00:24, 11 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Never mind, it doesn't seem to work ah well...

Similarities to "the matrix"

Am I the only one to see this game as the first step to global inmersion in a virtual world? (Forget the greedy 2nd lifers) —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 200.125.40.132 (talk) 02:51, 17 February 2007 (UTC).[reply]
