Warning of Guinness Book of World Records Inaccuracy
The Guinness World Records 2009 Gamer’s Edition names San Andreas as the "largest Grand Theft Auto environment" but erroneously describes the area as 17 square miles. The 13.9 square miles currently given in the article is CORRECT with a good citation. The risk is a future editor who might consider Guinness authoritative. In fact the source of Guinness' bad information is a previous version of this article! I know because I'm responsible for both the incorrect and subsequent correct edits (both done before I registered). The 17 number was created by me based on a failed attempt to interpret the scale of the game map. Unfortunately the incorrect information had quite a long time to propagate before I corrected it. We see the danger of leaving bad information on Wikipedia: a traditional publication may use Wikipedia as a source and then itself be cited as a source. Magic Al Too
Glitches
GTA SA has many glitches. Some include "Blue Hell" or "Underworld" Glitches where you are floating around out of the game area. (someone please continue this, as i have to leave now).
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.

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 CJ 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.

Sales
That 20+ million sales includes all versions on the various consoles, it's not all on the PS2.
Trivia
I'm thinking on making a trivia section. I have got some trivia.
- 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)
Hey i think he means recycling "bins" weren't invented, yes recycling was, but not bins!!!
So when I was a kid in '91 and separating paper and plastic, etc into different recycling bins after watching Captain Planet with my classmates, I was really in some kind of timewarp and it was really 2001?? Wow! I knew it! (192.43.227.18 (talk) 00:22, 14 July 2008 (UTC))
The City/State didn't institute public recycling pick-up until '01
Are you sure? Because I could have sworn that San Andreas was fictional, even if it is based on real locations. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.231.248.31 (talk) 17:01, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
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)
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)
time period
The game is mentioned as taking place in late 1992. Although the opening cut scene does start in "Liberty City, 1992" it would be impossible for the entire games events to take place in just '92. Radio L.S. plays several songs from The Chronic , which was released December 15, 1992, and none of the songs were released as singles until early '93. I doubt the game is meant to be played in less than 16 GTA 24-minute days. Ok, so maybe I'm being a little picky, but I propose changing "Set in late 1992" to "Begining in late 1992" or something to that affect. Because even if we disregard the release date of Chronic and assume that the game began as early as January 1, 1992, the game doesn't stop you from playing once you reach 366 days, which can extend the storyline indefinitely, even into the future if the player were to spend that much time playing (I'm sure there are plenty of people who, if they did the math, would find that Niko Bellic is already in 2009 on their 360). -Wakamusha (talk) 18:37, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
ehm, or Ps3... Good point, if you see the above about recycling there are a few problems with the time period as well.
The article currently says the game takes place in March 1992, yet I cannot find any dialogue that suggests that month. (A later date makes more sense, as many songs in the game were not released until much later in the year.) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.156.251.159 (talk) 07:57, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

Myths
The last part of the "myths" section is garbled and I'm not sure what it's trying to say:
"The UFOs were later proven wrong in GTA San Andreas. It was the artificial UFO above the old bar in the desert, it was then known that it had been created by Rockstar Games."
Huh? 207.112.82.107 (talk) 04:46, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
