GTA 4

Hey Dbam. Its Jack, been a while. Anyway, I was wondering if you have played Grand Theft Auto IV yet. I can't play it because I can't afford a Playstation 3 or an X-Box 360. If you have, I just wanted to know what it's like. I read the plot and the character profiles, the game sounds awesome!--209.244.187.248 (talk) 01:12, 25 February 2009 (UTC)Zeppellin94

File source problem with File:Newcastle town wall map.jpg

If you obtained it from a website, please add a link to the website from which it was taken, together with a brief restatement of that website's terms of use of its content. However, if the copyright holder is a party unaffiliated from the website's publisher, that copyright should also be acknowledged.

Reviewer granted

Hello. Your account has been granted the "reviewer" userright, allowing you to to review other users' edits on certain flagged pages. Pending changes, also known as flagged protection, will be commencing a a two-month trial at approximately 23:00, 2010 June 15 (UTC).

Reviewers can review edits made by users who are not autoconfirmed to articles placed under flagged protection. Flagged protection is applied to only a small number of articles, similarly to how semi-protection is applied but in a more controlled way for the trial.

When reviewing, edits should be accepted if they are not obvious vandalism or BLP violations, and not clearly problematic in light of the reason given for protection (see Wikipedia:Reviewing process). More detailed documentation and guidelines can be found here.

If you do not want this userright, you may ask any administrator to remove it for you at any time. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:19, 15 June 2010 (UTC)

Orphaned non-free media (File:Game Radio.jpg)

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Main Page appearance

Hello! This is a note to let the main editors of the article List of voice actors in the Grand Theft Auto series know that it will be appearing as the main page featured list on February 24, 2014. You can view the TFL blurb at Wikipedia:Today's featured list/February 24, 2014. If you think it is necessary to change the main date, you can request it with the featured list directors Giants2008 (talk · contribs), Crisco 1492 (talk · contribs) or SchroCat (talk · contribs), or at Wikipedia talk:Today's featured list. If the previous blurb needs tweaking, you might change it—following the instructions of the suggested formatting. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. Thanks! © Tbhotch^™ (en-2.5). 22:03, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

There has been a wide variety of voice actors in the Grand Theft Auto series. Neither the original Grand Theft Auto nor Grand Theft Auto 2 featured any voice actors credited to specific roles. The first video game in the series to do so was Grand Theft Auto III which, despite a limited budget and the series' low profile at the time, featured several notable actors from film and television. The next game, Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, featured more film actors, including Ray Liotta as the player character. Although the following title, Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, also featured many notable film actors, such as Samuel L. Jackson (pictured), Peter Fonda and James Woods, it had been decided that the use of such actors should be reduced, particularly for leading roles. From Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories through to Grand Theft Auto V, the series has continued using lesser-known actors to voice main characters, but still uses celebrities and real-life radio personalities to voice the DJs of the many radio stations featured in each game.

Blyth, Northumberland

Hi there, Blyth, Northumberland is looking a little rusty. If you have the time and/or inclination, it would be great if you could take a look and update the article. I note that it has not been on the mainpage and would be a good mainpage article if updated/cleaned up. Cheers, Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 05:18, 21 May 2017 (UTC)
