Great Job
Holy shit youve done alot. In the few days youve been hear I think you have over 200 contribs. Keep up the great work. Is this your first time on a wiki? I think not by all the work youve done. Keep it up and you will be Editor of the Month 19:11, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Wow. Just... wow. You're doing alot... thanks for the contribs, and keep up the good work. Nice quality pics BTW. 02:30, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Impressive work, Darkman! I have taken a quick look at the work you have done. It's good to see someone with such dedication. I just hope my ruddy articles did not irritate you too badly. :P--Sgt Kelly 09:20, 20 June 2008 (UTC)

Images
I am concerened about the usage rights on the images you uploaded. Please provide sources so I do not have to delete them.--19:19, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure. Try asking Chia. He would most likely know.--19:22, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * Darkman all screenshots of a game would most likely belong to the devolper and not public domain even if you took them. Royal Orleans 22:23, 10 June 2008 (UTC)


 * It should be fine with game screenshots because we have lots of those now. You took them yourself so it should be fine, just change the license.


 * The took it yourself one even though you did not make the game, say in the despriction that


 * I would suggest Fair-use. Royal Orleans 04:20, 11 June 2008 (UTC)

Well, it seems other people beat me to telling you, but yeah, game screenshots are inelligable for being in the Public Domain. Fair Use works just fine, though. To change a license, just go to the page for the image, click on "edit this page", and change it from one license to another. 23:23, 11 June 2008 (UTC)~

Levels Page
I deleted because of two reasons. First the levels should be listed on the games article and second because there are templates that go at the bottom of each level article to show all the levels in that game.--18:43, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

Re
No problem, it what I usually do know a days lol.

Images
Hi Darkman 4. I just wanted to let you know, rather than copying + pasting the same fair use image on all the images you upload, you can just select the fair use template (Template:Fairuse) for the dropdown list of licenses at Special:Upload, which will also categorize the images into Category:Fair use files.--Richard 17:24, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Grats, you are the User of the Month
Grats, I think all of the Admins hear can agree that you have done very well in short time here. You have not only created articles, but comtribted greatly to them, and many articles. Good luck, and continue the great work.

Rollback
Uh, I kind of forgot to tell you this, but because you have worked so hard, I have given you rollback rights. Now, you might see stuff saying "[revert]". If you click that, it will automatically undo the last revision to the page. This mainly used for fast vandalism removal.

And holy geez, I checked your editcount, and you have about 2,000 more edits than anyone else on the whole wiki. 06:16, 12 July 2008 (UTC)

Measurement Clarification
Hi, I posted this question in the help desk forum; but, once i found out you did most of the weapon stats for the CoD4 weapon pages, i thought i would also ask you directly:
 * I have been using the weapon statistics on each weapon's page (CoD4) for various purposes. I am curious how some of the numbers were obtained, like for damage and range. More importantly, however, I would like to know what the damage range on nearly all of the weapons signifies. For example, the M9 does 20-40 damage in multiplayer...does this mean the damage is a random value in the range for each round?...or does it signify degredation as a result from range? or puncturing? Also, I would like to know why there is a range in values for the "range" properties of the weapons. Also, I can only assume that these damage values are relative to 100 health points. If so, what is the damage multiplier for Hardcore play? 2.5? 3? 3.33? I realize that is a lot of questions all at once, but any help or directions to any of them would be much appreciated. Ryukira 05:57, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the clarifications. Are the ranges in units of meters?  If so, how big are the maps...they cant be too much more than a couple hundred meters across.  Thanks again.  Ryukira 01:51, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
 * This clears up a lot, thank you for your time. I have been creating an excel that compares data and calculations for each weapon.  Thanks again.Ryukira 01:59, 30 July 2008 (UTC)

Hey again, I have been doing more tests in-game, and am unsure about the hardcore health being 40. Assuming the weapon stats are accurate, I am finding the health to be around 30. For example, weapons such as the P90, G36C, and M249 SAW, are able to kill in one shot. Perhaps you could shed some light as to why I am getting these results. Ryukira 05:32, 1 August 2008 (UTC)

Nope, it ain't mine. Just a picture from Google. :) User:AnthraxXadam

Request for Adminship
Hello, I have a very serious request of you. Would you like to be an SYSOP (admin)? I was just talking with an admin about how there are very few admins to help, and your name came up. I was actually hoping both you and myself as admins, but if you do not want me as admin, just vote in the link forthcoming. You and I are the most active users on this website, but you have been here for quite a bit longer than I have. Please consider this request carefully, and although I am not sure how much experience with wikis you have (I know I do not have very much), but there are virtually no active admins as it is, so anything is better than nothing. If you are not interested, then I can try by myself, but please vote anyway at Call of Duty Wiki:Requests for Adminship. If you are not interested, please delete all parts of the article that have to do with you. If you are interested in both of us, or just yourself, then vote in the appropriate category. Once I get your response, I will start posting on active users discussions as to recieve their vote. Thank you, Creepydude 22:32, 8 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Darkman 4, you ROCK! Thanks for putting your vote, and I am with you 100%.  By the way, when I have gotten votes from enough users, I will post the link to the admin who originally suggested to me: Chaifriend12.  Then he said he would SYSOP us.  Thanks again, Creepydude 03:23, 9 December 2008 (UTC)

Keep an Eye On This Dude
Hey, since you're one of the most active users, we should keep an eye on this guy. Here is why: Special:Contributions/173.19.20.133. Anyways, I figure if he does a second "edit," then we should ban him. By the way, we really need a forum or something where we can discuss this kind of thing without having to message each other. Like one that is in a convenient spot so we will go to it every day... Anyway, just thought I would let you know.   M/Sgt. Creepydude Sniper   Say Some'at Here!  16:32, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

Not Sure How Reliable the Gun Stats are...
Ok, on one hand, we have nothing better so far, but on the other hand, in the reference link that Imrlybord7 provided: Call of Duty: World at War Gun Info, there are some things that just do not make sense. For instance, the Tokarev TT-33 is not worse than the 3 earlier pistols. There's no ifs or buts. Yet the chart says that it is the same except for worse recoil and reload time, making it WORSE than the others! This is just simply not true. I mean, since when would someone put a later unlock just to make it worse. Now, some things on the chart look dead on, such as the shotgun, however, I just want to question the reliability of that chart.   M/Sgt. Creepydude Sniper   Say Some'at Here!  16:32, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Hmm, it's possible I suppose. Well, I trust you more than I trust him, so if you say so...  I just think there must be a factor we are overlooking or something.  Otherwise I just don't understand it.    M/Sgt. Creepydude  Sniper   Say Some'at Here!  16:48, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Wow, I never knew that! About the M1911.  Wow, I guess there is something to be said about the placebo effect! :D  I often have used the M1911 and the TT-33 over other guns.  Oh no, now my perception is ruined! <:O  Oh well, I have to say, it does make the player better if they are using a slightly toned-down gun through the game and don't know it, so in that way, I guess I have to commend and thank Treyach and Infinity Ward!    M/Sgt. Creepydude  Sniper   Say Some'at Here!  16:55, 12 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Oh, and looking at your talk page, I see something about image copyrights. Should I be putting the licence to fair-use for all my screenshots?  <font face="Bauhaus 93"> <font color="Green"> M/Sgt. Creepydude  Sniper  <Font color="Puce"> Say Some'at Here!  16:56, 12 December 2008 (UTC)

RE: New WaW Gun Pics Up
Thank you very much. I started to add some of these pics, but never really finished. Way to go! ;D

900 Articles!
Wow, we just broke 900 articles! At this rate, it shouldn't be long before we hit 1000. Good job!

Congrats
Congratulations on your new admin status. I'm sure you will make a great admin, and I hope you have fun with your new "powers". Also, happy Holidays. Joey -  Talk Contribs 03:08, 20 December 2008 (UTC)

Congratulations!
Hey, congratulations on your adminship! I see you are already doing a good job with your powers. My request is still kinda iffy. Basically, Chiafriend12 said that because Joeyaa gave a logical complaint, even though he was the only one, that my request is still open. So basically, if you wouldn't mind too much, can you elaborate on the reasons why I should be SYSOP? Or if you want to change your vote, then ok. Anyway, I'm not too worried about admin, but I feel a little let down, because Joeyaa was the only one... Oh well, there's always another time. For now, congrats, and keep up the good work!

New Logo
Hey, on Talk:Call of Duty Wiki, I am suggesting that we request a new logo, and there is a specific area where we can ask this. So if you would like to give your vote on this, and maybe if you have any suggestions, then go wild! Anyways, we'll see how that goes. I want to get in our logo request ASAP if the vote is we request a new one. Cheers,

Semi-Lock Martyrdom
Martyrdom. Some IP went and undid your changes where you removed "Ignorant people often refer to this perk as "Marty-dum", when pronounced correctly the Y is silent." I agree that it is unnecessary, so I got rid of it again, but I suggest we semi-lock that article so as to make sure that the guy doesn't try again.
 * That should do the trick! ;D

Welcome Back I guess!
Good for you! :D Yah, I just got a whole new awesome PC as well. I love the video card; Radeon 4870 HD! Anyways, yah, good to hear you are back. As you can see, I've made some changes to the area, there have been lots of discussions in the Call of Duty Wiki:War Room and stuff... Whole ton of new users, a new Poll and an "Advanced Search" I added. So yah.

Oh, and by the way, do you have XP or Vista? The saved game location is different for both, but I know where they both are. To find the saves, you need to be able to see hidden files or folders, which you enable by going to My Computer, Tools, Folder Options, click on the "View" tab, and check show hidden files or folders. For XP, the saves are located in "C:\Documents and Settings\(Username)\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\(Account name)." For Vista, I believe it is "C:\Users\(Username)\Local Settings\Application Data\Activision\CoDWaW\players\profiles\(Account name)" I believe.

Personally, I hate Vista; I installed XP on my new compy. Man, WAY too many problems with it in the past...

IRC
Hey, if you feel like it, please join us on the IRC. Go to http://java.freenode.net/ and type whatever name you want and then #Joeyaa in the box. To get our attention say Bigm2793 or HuggleBear--00:22, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Ok, just letting you know. Creepy and Joe have been using IRC a lot lately to help improve the wiki. Make sure to check out their plan found at Call of Duty Wiki:Community Ideas!--Bigm2793 00:26, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

RE: Map Pages
True, but also having the modes present would be misleading, as it is possible to play all modes in the PC version. Perhaps the heading could be renamed to something else, so it covers both ends of the stick. I understand why edits were reverted, but the title should have something that informs the reader that you can play these modes on the console, while you can play all of them on the PC. At least something like that. 20:16, 19 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Yeah that's good. As long as one can tell the difference between the two, it's fine. Thank you for that. 12:36, 20 March 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the Picture license
Thanks a lot for licensing it for me, I was too busy to do it meself. From User:Callofduty4

Your block descriptions
Please try not to be so crude in your block and deletion descriptions, it devalues the credibility of the wiki and can be seen as a personal attack.-- 02:27, 23 April 2009 (UTC)

Re:picture license
Ill delete the picture and try to re-license it.

Re:Cpl. Polonsky
Alright well now I created the redirect so we shouldn't have any problems. If we do, feel free to reprotect it.-- 17:43, 4 May 2009 (UTC)

Another one for the banhammer
Someone vandalized my user page. Here's their IP. http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Special:Contributions/173.58.25.196 It says that they edited "Reply to Above Crap" on the MW2 talk page (now archived), which means that it's either the user who so intelligently named himself "Callofduty4" or a vandal whose edit was removed already.

Ahh thanks mate, now I know how to add the fair use license on the pictures.

Criteria For Deletion
Precisely what makes an article suitable for not having enough content? Do the stats need to be known before an article can be created? Or is length of information? Maybe I have jumped to the conclusion of the latter, but I can pick out half a dozen articles on the wiki that only have one sentence yet are still around. The AK-47 article was created on October 23, 2007 - way before details were released about its stats and the like. That article however, was not deleted at the time. It almost seems if some articles are exempt from the rule, but maybe I'm overlooking things. 00:51, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

CAW is such a tool
He sent me a message over XBL in which he said that I made up lies about him (the only thing I did was incorrectly assume that he was calling the ACR an IMBEL) and then referred to you and I as gay lovers (because I told you to ban him). I challenged him to a 1v1. I beat him 20 to 4. He said to give him 5 minutes to warm up in another game. I gave him 10. We played again, and I beat him 30 to 18. He has pretty good aim and reflexes, but when it comes to strategy and tactics, he's pretty much a doorknob. And he didn't even complain about not having Dead Silence, which shows that he is a complete n00b. And in the second game he camped and spammed stun grenades which is the only reason I didn't destroy him as badly as the first game. Imrlybord7 06:13, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

IRC
If you decide to suddenly like IRC and join us on ##Joeyaa via Wikia CGI I'd be most happy. The Wikia CGI currently allows for any channel access, so type in that channel name and a nickname for yourself and join. I have set up a bot that relays all edits on this wiki and sends them to the channel so fast the editor's browser wouldn't even have loaded yet. This makes it great for vandalism patrol and such. Also, you can talk to me and BigM sometimes :) So just come already before I send my dogs after you Joey  -  Talk Contribs 03:28, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Possible addition to the Hardcore articles
Since weapon balance doesn't exist in Hardcore, I was wondering if we should maybe put up some kind of Hardcore weapon selection guide? Basically the M21, M249, P90, Skorpion, M4, AK-47, M16, and G3 are the only weapons that should be used for Hardcore, FYI. Imrlybord7 02:07, 12 June 2009 (UTC)
