Fair use rationale for Image:Gran Turismo.png
[edit]Image:Gran Turismo.png is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to ensure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Page Rewrite
[edit]This page really needs to be redone, whoever wrote it takes very one sided views, on one hand the part about GT1 praises it as being greater than Jesus (a little rephrasing on my part) and in the criticisms someone commented on the exclusion of the Cien from the 500hp+ race in GT4 as outrageous. I've removed that because it's so ridiculous, however, the entire page needs complete rewording Pongley (talk) 21:59, 11 April 2008 (UTC)
- Tagged the statements in criticism with [citation needed] until Wikipedia:reliable sources for every claim is provided. Remove those tags without providing well referenced sources will be reverted cause is violating Wikipedia:Verifiability. --PS3 Addict (talk) 23:28, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
Rewrite and reformat underway
[edit]This page has been tagged for almost 2 years with corrections needed. I have started making changes by introducing a table format for the list of the games in the series. This models other long running console series. The table format eliminated a lot of content that can found on the article pages of each game.Only1true (talk) 03:17, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
More detail
[edit]Shouldn't there be a listof items that need more detail? I'll start one right here: Nissan Micra demo disc (gameplay, cars, tracks, etc.) Nissan 350Z demo disc (same as above) BMW 1-series demo disc (same as Nissan Micra) Gran Turismo for Boys (any particular goal?) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Dudeaga (talk • contribs) 14:47, 6 July 2010 (UTC)
Car List
[edit]I've started working on a list of cars, similar to the Forza list, and put it on my user page. Please contribute by going here.heat_fan1 (talk) 21:10, 22 November 2010 (UTC)

Sim racing genre
[edit]Overview states explicitly "most gameplay derives from its simulation mode" - removal of the Sim genre is unwarranted. Scr★pIronIV 17:11, 4 November 2015 (UTC)

[edit]- The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
The result of the move request was: no consensus Daniel Case (talk) 05:11, 3 April 2022 (UTC)
– Primary topic by pageviews for the term "Gran Turismo". However, I have no objection to Gran turismo redirecting to Grand tourer if people think that it's the primary topic by longterm significance - but only for the uncapitalized, non-proper-noun version. The video game series should still be primary for the capitalized version. ᴢxᴄᴠʙɴᴍ (ᴛ) 21:05, 12 March 2022 (UTC) — Relisting. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 22:01, 19 March 2022 (UTC)
- Comment the primary topic of "gran turismo" is "grand tourer", and the origin of the term used by the game series. It is also a common badge (GT) on cars -- 65.92.246.142 (talk) 22:11, 13 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose this is such a generic title but move to Gran Turismo (video game series) In ictu oculi (talk) 09:47, 25 March 2022 (UTC)
- Oppose, no primary topic. 162 etc. (talk) 19:29, 26 March 2022 (UTC)
Concerns and solutions.
[edit]I think it should stay currently as it is with all the information For Gran Turismo do the fact the history of it is very complex, and also it's involvement with Motorsports.
I could trim it down but how do you think we could make, it a bit more better if you think there's a problem with the edits? Shane O'Sullivan the 1 (talk) 19:47, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
Lead section
[edit]Which do you all think is the better version of the lead section: this more brief version, or this more expansive version? Carfan568 (talk) 17:32, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- I prefer the one that's been long standing Since it fits with wikipedia's manual of style.Though could you show on the talk page what it would look like if you kept the info, that is sourced while adding what you want?
- I'm just trying to preserve the lead since it's been stable and there's been no edit wars or anything bad.
- Thank you.
- Here is an example of what you requested. Regarding your last point, a lead does not need to be preserved just because it has been stable and there have been no edit wars, as that does not mean that it cannot be improved. Carfan568 (talk) 18:39, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- I appreciate you showing what it would look like with the sources, still in there and I get what you're saying. I think the original lead is best for the page. Because it fits the manual of style and everything else that was in the proposed lead, Is is already in the gameplay section and history section.Shane O'Sullivan the 1 (talk) 18:52, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- I think the more expansive version is better since it does a much better job of meeting the MOS:LEAD goal of summarising the body of the article with appropriate weight. The more brief version includes trivial details like the current sponsors of the Gran Turismo esports series and the fact that Mercedes used GT7 for their esports competition, while omitting much more relevant information such as the typical structure of the games' single-player campaigns, the type of features the games contain, and the critical reception of the games. Carfan568 (talk) 19:12, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- I can understand what you're saying and your view point. I think the previous lead is in line with the manual of style where its precise and shows the nobility of Gran Turismo. How it's a driving simulator for consoles, with sourced information that shows it is used and recognized as a driving simulator.Shane O'Sullivan the 1 (talk) 19:45, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
- My two cents: a single paragraph, eight-sentence lead is not an appropriate length to properly summerize the body of this article. And reverting new changes to the lead simply to keep the status quo is also not an appropriate reason to essentially start an edit war. --TorsodogTalk 20:56, 29 December 2024 (UTC)
