Re: Chia says hi (I say hi back)
Well, I figured it's no use crying over spilled milk (not that I'm suggesting you're crying, just an expression), but Vietnam is upcoming and it might help people get interested.

Also, if there had been a "space" level and an underwater level, people would've complained because they want it to be "realistic".

Not a bad idea, though. Maybe make a blog about it?

Just my thoughts,

Try something called Pimp My Gun, I've made a sniper pistol, and you can make a lot of guns, mix and mathch, and edit some popular guns. Peter Griffen Boy 03:07, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Didn't know PMG was so popular. I usually try to make guns that are strange, but have that niiice appeal. Peter Griffen Boy 05:48, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

We got a page. http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/User:Peter_Griffen_Boy/The_Gun_Pimpers. You may post your artwork here without permission, just give me a heads up first. Anyway we can put this on the community groups page? Any way we can get a simple userbox that protrays something to do with a strange gun as a picture and says "This user is an artist of The Gun Pimpers." and The Gun Pimpers has a link to our page.

Gallery thing? I don't know how to make those. Honestly, I'm sort of a wikia code noob, I just know the basics. Could you explain how to do it further? Peter Griffen Boy 07:19, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Can you make the pictures bigger. You can't really see the details of the guns. So when someone just adds a piece of work just add there file name and add the bar (where is that on they keyboard anyway? I have to use copy and paste and alt codes) and then write down their comments? It seems a little bit more complicated.

I never thought that they key would be it. It looks this : on my keyboard. Well anyway, you should archive, there's so much code on here it takes a while for the text to register and go onto the internet. Peter Griffen Boy 08:22, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

Country articles and COD:G
Recently you removed my delete tag on Poland citing its appropriateness as per COD:G (and I was apparently using the wrong delete template anyway, so that works out). I'd like to dispute the application of COD:G for the case of Poland (and other stub articles for countries like Australia). Poland isn't specifically mentioned in any form, which is one of the criteria for COD:G. Call of Duty 3 has soldiers from the Polish Army, but the country isn't included or referred to. Wouldn't it be more appropriate to write an article about the Polish Army and their involvement in the war in COD3 (similar to how we have articles on the United States Marine Corps and Wehrmacht rather than a general stub article about the country? --Scottie theNerd 09:23, January 19, 2010 (UTC)


 * While I don't doubt that the characters may have referred to the country as their "homeland", it's an abstract reference and it serves to show the vagueness of COD:G. The game does not reveal any information about the country, with the result that the article will contain no COD-relevant information. If a character theoretically said, "This place smells like New York", does that mean we create an article about New York? --Scottie theNerd 07:32, January 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the long reply. It was a very interesting state-of-the-wiki reflection, a lot of which I was thinking about. I'll break down my thoughts into their respective topics to resolve some of the issues raised.::*Poland - Somehow this sounds like a German-Soviet political discussion, but that aside, I do generally agree with you on the inclusion of Poland per COD:G. I guess what got to me was that the focus was more on the country rather than the playable aspects.::*COD:G in general - What bothered me when I first read the policy was that it was more of a mission statement than a policy. The "spirit" of the policy seems to be that we should try to include everything from CoD. The problem with that is that there is no limit for how far we can extend the application of its meaning, as highlighted by the smelly New York example. All successful wikis have a scope. Even Wikipedia, the mother of all wikis, has a clear scope defined broadly in its Notability policy and through individual subject-area project pages. "Granularity" isn't something that can lead to a wide knowledge bank especially when considering the limited editing experience of the wiki. In short, we need some sort of boundary with clear examples and clear justifications. I think CoDwiki has been active enough to see how far things can go; now we need restrictions to better focus our efforts.
 * Another issue with COD:G is a simple fact: while other wikis have the luxury of being based on fantasy worlds, Call of Duty is based off real life. There's already a better real-life wiki in the form of Wikipedia, so CoDwiki is better served by focusing on the CoD elements rather than historical backgrounds ripped from Wikipedia. You know something is wrong when we're ripping entire Wikipedia articles to form CoDwiki articles. It's not illegal, but I feel there's a clear line that CoDwiki is not Wikipedia, to the point where I feel it should be a policy. CoDwiki editors, I feel, do not have the knowledge or experience to make articles on firearms and other military-related topics. Most of us are armchair soldiers -- we play CoD, and that's all we know. A minority are actual servicemen; practically none are military scholars. With that demographic in mind, CoDwiki benefits more from focusing on what everyone knows best -- Call of Duty -- and leaving the extended topics (such as firearm classifications, global geography, world history and ammunition types) to places that can inform more clearly and abundantly.
 * Essentially, we don't need articles on Hitler, Erwin Rommel, Douglas MacArthur or technical information like 9mm Parabellum and Bullpup. It's not what I consider to be Call of Duty nooks and crannies. That's real-life information -- and from what I've gathered from the policies, we're trying to focus on CoD and minimise reality. These articles have no bearing in CoD. We can crosslink to a Wikipedia article rather than copy it onto CoDwiki, because we're not exactly going to advance the article content any more than Wikipedia can. CoDwiki documents what Wikipedia doesn't -- every game-related topic what we can think of. If it's not directly related to the game, the information is better found elsewhere. In essence, we don't have to provide the historical framework that CoD is set in.
 * With all that said, in regards to suggestions on the COD:G policy in a much more concise form:::*In my opinion, the policy name should be changed. Even if the policy itself is unchanged, it would be better named as "Inclusion" or "Notability". "Granularity" isn't a concept I feel many editors understand and inherently contradicts the spirit of other policies.::*It should merge with other policies that outline what content is appropriate. At times the Character and Weapon policies suggest otherwise to what COD:G has to say. Have one over-arching policy that outlines what articles should be made and what information should be put in them, in order to ease the policy referencing.
 * It should provide clear examples on appropriate and inappropriate topics in order to answer potential questions. If a character off-handedly mentions penguins in Antarctica, do we write articles on penguins? If Douglas MacArthur has a speech played back at the end of World at War, do we write an article about him? That's what the policy page needs.
 * Ultimately, more referring to the policy. Editors debate policy when it's applied and disagreed on -- and is pretty much the reason why we're having this discussion. COD:G in its current form doesn't leave much room for interpretation; it's pretty much "everything".
 * Anyway, that's enough talk page flooding for now. Thanks for engaging in this discussion, and I hope there's something worthwhile you can find in this message, or we can attempt to resurrect the COD:G discussion in the War Room with these points in mind. --Scottie theNerd 14:54, January 22, 2010 (UTC)
 * Taking Price's cigar a bit further (and yes, I did make that point :) ) -- technically, that information would be trivia regardless of whether it is fictional or not (which also leads to guidelines on what is or isn't considered Trivia). Unless his cigar brand is major congolomerate that appears everywhere in the game, it shouldn't have its own article. That said, it's clear that we agree that some sort of scope needs to be defined, and if necessary amended at a later date. For now, it seems that community discussion on the issue is severely limited. What needs to happen, I think, is that a draft of a more specific COD:G policy (and I personally prefer a different name) should be written and voted upon by the community once the core elements of the policy are agreed upon. Specifics (such as cigar brands and historical leaders) can be debated later. --Scottie theNerd 07:50, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

I'm getting really tired of this.
You constantly ignore me. You're more aloof than Doctor Manhattan (Watchmen reference). You run this site like a dictator. I am referring specifically to Cod4's RFB, where despite having a huge majority, which included the support of multiple admins, you simply got to veto it all by yourself for relatively petty reasons, and you will probably do the same to me in my RFA. Why do you deserve the power to destroy the democratic process that this site is supposed to run on? Is it written somewhere that you are allowed to do that? Hell, it doesn't even say anything about how an RFA passes on its project page. And, I'll ask again, why do you barely ever acknowledge my existence? And why do you almost never associate with any of the "commoners?"

CODW Users on GTW
Hi - I'm the Manager on Grand Theft Wiki. We've had a number of users from COD Wiki (WouldYouKindly, Peter Griffen Boy, Callofduty4, Imrlybord7), at least one of whom appears to have been blocked here, who then continued their arguments on our wiki. Whilst they are happy to stop arguing on GTW, I'm not sure shifting their arguments to another wiki would solve the problem. Happy to leave this with you if you prefer - Gboyers talk 01:06, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

I was just about to ask for advice in this situation. Spreading the argument to other wikis was never my (nor COD4's) intention when DAP and PGB were blocked by us, respectively. We need a way to solve this amicably, maybe in IRC sometime?--WouldYouKindly 01:20, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Where do I go? I have an IRC client addon taken care of but I haven't been on this wiki's IRC before.--WouldYouKindly 01:22, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Which channel?--WouldYouKindly 01:25, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
Hi Chiafriend. I have been on this wiki since last year but we have never really spoken. So Hi.AdvancedRookie 12:56, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Online
Right. You could try changing in your Xbox for a PS3, prices are down. Doc.Richtofen 22:41, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

(p.s I am logging out very soon and if I go mid conversation I will resume it ASAP.)

Ok. Doc.Richtofen 22:45, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Last night's IRC discussion
I've mentioned the IRC meeting to PGB on his talk page, if he agrees to it all we'll need to do is set up a time and day that suits you, Joeyaa, possibly COD4, PGB, and myself.--WouldYouKindly 23:05, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, me too. I won't object if he wants to try to schedule the meeting earlier though (My college off-days are tuesdays, thursdays, fridays and weekends). The sooner we can get this matter settled the better IMO. I've been thinking, we may want to get Bord in there in a separate meeting as well, that way both of them get a chance to tell their side of the story, and we can decide what to do from there.--WouldYouKindly 23:26, February 15, 2010 (UTC)

Just heard back from him: "Sure, I'll do good on Saterdays and Sundays. I got work during the week, from around 2 a.m to 12 p.m., and often times am very busy. Saturday, from around 12 a.m. to 8 p.m. would be the best time to find me, but honestly it's a BIG maybe. This wiki is not important enough to mess with my real life. Is it possible to also get one with me and Bord just alone? Really though, I don't like having admins deciding who wins. I hate it when arguements come, most admins just ban the person who is stupid and goes on with it. Peter Griffen Boy 21:22, February 17, 2010 (UTC)"

Since Joey's using the IRC channel for another Wiki's IRC meeting this Saturday, it may need to wait till next weekend.--WouldYouKindly 22:51, February 17, 2010 (UTC)

Help on a page
Hey admin, I seen something that I think should be added to this wiki, but it's a page that I am not allowed to edit. So I decided to search for admins, and your the active one that's highest on the list, so I ask you to add it. I believe it would fall under the trivia section, under Callsigns, under modern warfare 2.

For the following challenges:

Get 5 kills with a single predator missle

Get 5 kills with a single airstrike (precision I assume)

Get 6 kills with a single stealth bomber strike

You can actually get these with more than just one strike/missle, as long as it's successive. If you send a missle down, get 2 kills, then immediately send another missle down and get 3, you will get the challenge. I personally experienced this with the predator, and then went on to do this with precision airstrikes. I got the stealth bomber challenge with just one, so I can't confirm that it works with bombers as well, I can only assume that the game just counts the number of kills from any specific type of attack in a row. Thought it should be added. This wiki has helped me, I now help it back.

Help on a page pt 2
Okay, this is to add on to my last message. it is now the next day, and i went on to continue testing my discovery.

It appears that this also works for the multi frag, c4, and claymore challenges. I only tested it on the frag though. But a big discovery was this:

I fragged an enemy, scavenged a new frag, shot a claymore (epic) and then fragged another enemy in order to get the challenge, and it counted. When I did the precision airstrike and predator ones, I did them in a row immediately without even taking a step. So this goes to show that this also works in any way as long as you don't get a different kind of kill. I don't know how it applies if you die.

At the same time, there MAY have been a time where i fragged, died, then fragged again. I'm not sure which one was counted.

Either way, this should help a lotta people.

Re: Sullivan was a Gunnery Sergeant?
You're right! Sullivan was the one in that position, Roebuck was in the front right corner. And Polonsky was...damn, I don't remember. Interesting though.

I don't think Shepherd ever used the Magnum in his holster. Always just pulled one out from behind his back. And there's also some strange leg that I assume in Roach's in that picture.

Removing spoiler alerts for Modern Warfare 2
Hey Chia, I'm dropping a message that I'm removing the spoiler alerts since the game has already been out for months now. I want to avoid potential edit wars over this.Dibol 17:29, February 23, 2010 (UTC)

Move request: Carentan
I've noticed that the article for the COD/COD2 map Carentan is currently listed as Carentan, France. Considering that it is always referred to in the game as Carentan, wouldn't it be better to list it as its game name rather than its geographic nomenclature? I'd move it myself, but the current article has already been moved from it, so I can't do it. --Scottie theNerd 06:38, February 24, 2010 (UTC)
 * I'd err towards the original name (Carentan in COD and CODUO) over the COD2, as other maps do not have an extended name, which would mean that Carentan breaks the naming convention. The map is universally referred to as Carentan. --Scottie theNerd 08:14, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

The RFAs are pretty stagnant.
When are the decisions made? Imrlybord7 14:15, February 24, 2010 (UTC)

Possible new poll
I have a wishlist about the weapons for modern warfare 3, if there's going to be one. Since the game last took place in 2016, I thought it'd be great to get people's opinions on more modern and advances weapons:

Assault Rifles:

-Barret REC7/M468

-HK416

-XM8

-AK-107/108, or at least an AK-74 (the AK-47 has got to go; it is way too outdated)

SMGs:

-MP7

-LWRC PSD

Sniper rifles:

-Acrtic Magnum Warfare

-M110

-Barrett 107 (the Barrett used in the games should be an M82)

Policy proposal
We need a canon policy that determines a single storyline for games. It is fine to leave things somewhat ambiguous if an event's outcome is actually supposed to be unknown, like Price's fate at the end of CoD4, but some things are getting ridiculous. Some users post things about Ghost and/or Roach being alive, despite the fact that they are obviously dead. If CoD's storyline has devolved to the point where we can't watch a character die and assume that he is dead (protip: it hasn't, at least not yet), then all is truly lost. Also, this user has been a well-meaning but detrimental contributor. Imrlybord7 14:27, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Current RFA's
Do you think any of them should be passed? Imrlybord7 is at 12/1/4, just an example. Doc.Richtofen 21:32, February 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Poketape's should without a doubt be passed, he is at 8|1|2 and it's been nearly a month. 22:21, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

However, he is barely active, it takes more then supports to make an admin, it also takes points made by the voters. Mad Miller 22:24, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

Welc Templates
HAHAHa, I just realized I didn't get welcomed! Ha!

Anywho, I really like the new welcome templates. I think you should check the RfAs ASAP. 🇨🇩 22:54, February 25, 2010 (UTC)

You Do Realize...
That I'll just be going for admin again when I hit 350 mainspace?

And if I don't get passed then, I will have lost faith in the general population of this wiki. Just kidding.

About PGB's alt accounts
Should they be blocked? Imrlybord7 21:31, February 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes or no? Imrlybord7 02:53, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * He has already admitted to both of them. Imrlybord7 02:58, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Unless I'm missing something, it was just Mad Miller and The Drunk American Patriot. Imrlybord7 03:05, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * What are the other alleged accounts? I say alleged because the above two are the only ones that I know for a fact were him. Imrlybord7 03:09, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

I already know that Michael Jackson'sBoy isn't a PGB alt due to an Xbox Live encounter. And that other account has 0 contributions, so I think we can ignore it. Also, 1 year was the longest block option. How do you block infinitely? Imrlybord7 03:19, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Never mind, I just saw the "other" option. Imrlybord7 03:23, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Requesting input
Hey there Chia, I'll just get straight to the point. User:Dempsey141, who has recently been blocked for harrassment, has a lot of content on his user page that could be considered inappropriate. At least one user has found it offensive, and asked me to do something about it. I asked him to take it down, but I would like to know if I could actually physically remove it from his page. As far as I know, he's not really breaking any policy with it, and I don't know what me removing it would do as he'd likely just put it back up, but nevertheless, I'd like your input. 01:06, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * Good to know, thanks. Imrlybord's already taken care of it though. 02:51, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

Some things that could use more attention.
Not too long ago, I made some additions to the Manual of Style that I think every editor needs to see. Also, I know that you are a fan of COD:G, but Scottie and I (feels like I just referred to myself twice) both feel that it needs some serious tweaking. Basically, my "bottom line" opinion on the matter is that we shouldn't have any articles that might as well just be on Wikipedia, and things that are really minor should not be given articles, like Valentina. More detailed opinions can be found here. And I think that that thread should also get more attention on the wiki so that we can better work to reform COD:G. Imrlybord7 16:28, February 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm sorry, but I have no idea how you derived that response to my "bottom line" comment. Most of our game articles feature much more than their Wikipedia counterparts, and all of our game articles could be expanded well past what Wikipedia has to offer. And I meant that the MoS and granularity discussion should be seen by the entire community. Hopefully I don't come off as too snappish; I was ice skating with some friends and right as we were leaving I destroyed my tailbone, so I may not be the most amicable at the moment. Imrlybord7 08:37, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hehe. My sarcasm perception is definitely not at the top of its game right now. Imrlybord7 08:48, February 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not a pro or anything, but I can go fairly fast. However, it can be kind of hard when the population density on the ice begins to rival that of Hong Kong. Imrlybord7 08:53, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

UoTM Voting
If at the end of a month, two users both had +8 overall, with one having 8/0/0 and the other with 9/0/1. Who would be decided as the UoTM? Doc.Richtofen 17:36, February 27, 2010 (UTC)

The philosophy of adminship
Something just came to mind, and I am very interested in what you would have to say about it. Should users be made admins if it will obviously result in only positive things happening, or should they have to meet a checklist of requirements in addition to that (things like edit count)? I don't really have much of a reason for bringing this up other than curiosity, but I suppose one practical application of this would be making Scottie theNerd an admin. Imrlybord7 12:14, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

A moral issue
http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Talk:Boosting

What do we do? As a wiki, we are obligated to inform, but we could actually be having a negative impact on the CoD community. (Massive hyperbole ahead) If someone was hunting down a famous person and Wikipedia knew their exact location, would the list it and get the person killed? Imrlybord7 14:16, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

The Cleanup Template
As one of the few users who actually adds it to pages, I feel that I have a right to influence its "definition" and "effects on the article." I only add it if an article is seriously FUBAR, but it rarely leads to an increase in editors or article quality. Is there any chance that we could either change the template to reflect a more serious level of quality deficiency (probably the better option) or make some kind of community announcement about how the template is being used in the hopes of seeing more article improvement?

RE: Vandal Patrol
It seemed very pointless to just list every active admin. The purpose of the vandal patrol is to have any issues dealt with as quickly as possible, and we want users to be reporting to admins who are more likely to warn or block the vandal ASAP. Of all the admins, they are the least active. If that's a problem, I'll put them back up, but I think this is the best way to handle things. Imrlybord7 12:36, March 1, 2010 (UTC)

Bord and I think there should be a new policy, where when voting users must give a reason and explain their vote/nomination/idea or else it will be strikthroued and ignored.

Can you vote for users as admins yourself? 21:33, March 8, 2010 (UTC)

I was wondering if you can give the Jose, DevilWarrior and I rollback abilities as we are qualified to do so. Also make sure to giive 808 his admin rights, as it has been about one week (the minimum amount of time I think to close a RFA).

Modern Warfare (series)
Since it's totally separate from the Call of Duty franchise, do you think there should be an article on the Modern Warfare series?

I mean, it's kind of like a badly written book, anyway.

That's what I'm saying. It's a sub-series, so it deserves a page explaining its story, no?

IW said that they referred to it as Modern Warfare 2, because they felt that they had moved out of the Call of Duty franchise.

Not to butt in, but I just want to offer an insight that might help people make up their minds as to how they feel about giving the MW story its own article. Just ask yourself the following question. Do you think that a long series of events already covered over many articles should have a single summary article? I am leaning ever so slightly towards not giving it its own page, but I'm so close to the middle that you might as well call me neutral. Imrlybord7 04:26, March 9, 2010 (UTC)
