[edit] Sweeps delist

As part of Wikipedia:WikiProject Good articles/Project quality task force/Sweeps, this article was found to not meet GA criteria. As the article still does not meet WP:GA?, the article has been boldly delisted. You can renominate at WP:GAN once you feel it meets criteria. Thank you, Der Wohltemperierte Fuchs (talk) 23:38, 23 March 2008 (UTC)

Can I ask how this article no longer meets the criteria? --.:Alex:. 13:22, 27 April 2008 (UTC)
Lack of sources. The impression i've got from reading various threads on GA/FA related talk pages in the past, is that GA standards have risen a bit; so it probably isn't the article that's changed, it's people's interpretation of GA criteria. I think it's fair to say, though, the article could use more citations. Dbam Talk/Contributions 20:13, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Media Appearances

Maybe there should be a section about San Andreas being in other forms of Media? I can think of two right off the top of my head. Dave Chappelle mentioned TJ from San Andreas in a Tupac sketch, and in the movie "The Breakup" one of the main characters, Gary, is seen playing San Andreas for a few moments.

Would they be note-worthy? Perhaps the first one but the second one sounds like a stretch. John.n-irl (talk) 13:06, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
"References in popular culture" would be the appropriate heading. Other articles have such blurbs, so I don't see why these can't be included. ArcAngel (talk) 14:50, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
Being glimpsed on the corner of a tv-show is not a "reference in popular culture". John.n-irl (talk) 15:59, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
So, in your view, visual references aren't notable? ArcAngel (talk) 16:17, 25 March 2008 (UTC)
No, a visual reference is one thing, however being used as a prop in a show/movie is not really note worthy in most circumstances. Otherwise, Wikipedia would be nothing but "References in popular culture". However it would be worth noting if a game appeared prior to its release, as was the case with Heavenly Sword and the TV show Heros. John.n-irl (talk) 17:43, 25 March 2008 (UTC)


[edit] Sales

That 20+ million sales includes all versions on the various consoles, it's not all on the PS2. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Pika62221 (talk • contribs) 00:26, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

Apesadumbrado para mi español pobre, estoy utilizando un traductor, pero no pienso que la información es relevante ser agregado al artículo, SI el traductor que pongo su mensaje en está correcto. Podría ser incorrecto. Ledgo (talk) 18:48, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Trivia

I'm thinking on making a trivia section. I have got some trivia.

  1. The game is set in 1992,and during the beginning cutscene of 'Just Business' (a mission from Big Smoke) a bin with a recycling symbol is seen, and recyling isn't invented until around 2001.

I'm Intellegent! (talk) 10:31, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Sections for trivia should be avoided. Also, it's wrong. Recycling was "invented" a long time before 2001. Bill (talk|contribs) 10:51, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
According to this that estimate is off by 2,400 years. Beeblbrox (talk) 17:55, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Live-action film

What do you guys and girls think about a Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas live-action film? I think it will make millions at the box office. The King Gemini (talk) 18:48, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

Not the place for such discussion, sorry. —T-borg (T | C) 19:13, 18 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] 6th game in the series?

I believe its the 6th gta game overall going from gta, gta london 1969, gta2, gta3, gta vice city and then this, anyone would like to clarify this? i remember playing both the original gta and gta london and they were different games but I'm not too sure about it since it's been a while.Alexandurs (talk) 05:30, 21 May 2008 (UTC)

As far as I know London 1969 is a mission pack for the original GTA, as stated in this article. —T-borg (T | C) 09:12, 21 May 2008 (UTC)
