Re: Image
Sorry, I just realised that myself, I took the picture from a printscreen on YouTube - we needed an example. I could try and find a different picture if you want? - 13:13, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

 * What would be good, I reckon, would be examples of cover that can be penetrated. A screenshot of someone shooting through a wall (or shot at through a wall) is a perfect demonstration. --Scottie theNerd 15:50, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

1000 edits
You just broke 1000 edits. Nice one! 13:18, April 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * While that may be true, that old primary school saying "quality not quantity" does come in here. Because while your edits might not be in big in quantity, they sure are in big in quality. 15:26, April 10, 2010 (UTC)

I noticed that, I'm not sure how to fix that. It stopped working when I put this moving Signature on my name. I'm just going to remove it. DjuNgleB http://images3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20100402220853/callofduty/images/5/52/Starcraft.gif 14:26, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Scottie
I was ahem just wondering if you forgive me for some of that rude shit I said. And well I'd love to be friends, and I was wondering if that Asian descent happened to be Chinese.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 05:07, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Dear Scottie,
I've been reading quite a bit of your input in the multiple War Room discussions in which you are involved. I have noted the anger you feel at the lack of action of the administrators of this wiki, and I have to say that I agree in the fullest. Just today I mentioned to my father the fact that most admins seem content to sit on their computers, doing other things, until there's a vandal they can block, leaving other users to revert edits, sometimes good edits. The sysops of the Call of Duty wiki seem to be growing lazy as a whole, and I believe we need change.

You have said you do not wish to become an Admin, that an RfA would be out of anger. I disagree with your statements. Precisely because you do not desire power, yet are capable of using it, should you gain it. Precisely because you are angry at such flaws in the system should you be responsible enough to wield that power. You, Scottie theNerd are an articulate man, you have few edits, but a vast majority of those are not good, but great edits.

You are extremely intelligent, capable of instrumenting change because of that intelligent, and very wise in your actions towards that change. So I appeal to you, allow yourself to be elected Administrator if the wiki should decide, the era of the semi-active admins acting merely as enforcers, not true administrators should end, and I believe to that end you are best fit to end that era alongside several administrators already taking measures to effect change on this wiki, including Griever, Bord and WYK.

So, summarily, while there are several sysops that are willing to, capable of, and effecting such actions, nowhere near the number of these "administrators" are doing as such, and while I personally feel there are others that should someday be in the position to reform this wiki, contemporarily, you are the one candidate with any glimmer of a chance of achieving "victory" to the ends of change through the powers of a sysop. Please allow yourself to be nominated for adminship, and please accept that nomination, for I truly believe you are what we need, and I am sure that there are others that would concur. Sincerely,  Darthkenobi0 Talk 02:05, April 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * A response would be appreciated. air-force-logo.jpg Darthkenobi0 Talk 03:35, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

Granularity discussion
Any plans on drafting the Granularity Policy changes yet? I'd be happy to lend a hand since the policy is in dire need of revision. 00:53, April 26, 2010 (UTC)


 * Agree with you on the wiki-drama. Been busy with other stuff lately myself, so I've been forced to being able to check back here less frequently. However, when the drama blows over and I'm done dealing with my personal stuff, I am willing to take on the burden of the draft. 15:08, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Sigs
Hey, i got a new sig, it is 125px, but it is small is it ok?  T  C  E   B 00:34, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

UoTM
Sorry, the possibility of being UoTM got the better of me... I never get nominated for anything. I won't go around and do that. 17:56, April 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * What do you think? http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/UOTM#Nominations And what do I do with the current nominations? Just delete them? Imrlybord7 04:18, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * My only issue with that is that people will be getting nominated for the first 21 days of the month. People nominated early in the month will end up running against people nominated later in the month, meaning that even though candidate x was nominated for what he did in, say, March, candidate y was nominated for what he did in May. Although my idea delays winning by two months, this way means that users from different months will be running against each other. Do you think we should make it so that nominations can't be submitted before a certain date, either? Say, between the 19th and the 23rd of the month? Imrlybord7 11:25, April 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * I must've been gone or something - where are these discussions at? Who passed them? And when? -- Emblem-burgertown.jpg EightOhEight Talk 18:30, May 2, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh, okay. Well, it's no damage done either way - they're both bound to get it at one time or another. Have you been UOTM yet? -- Emblem-burgertown.jpg EightOhEight Talk 07:39, May 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, JJR is active, I'm not sure about TNT. I agree about the proposed changes, though. -- Emblem-burgertown.jpg EightOhEight Talk 07:46, May 3, 2010 (UTC)

RE: UotM
Damn! It's too bad we don't know someone fluent in the art of coding. Oh well. That whole comment thing after you vote still bugs me though. To me you should just vote and that's it...... there is no need to give your reason. If the candidate wants to know why you voted a certain way, let them discuss it on their talk page. Also, once you cast your vote it is final. Votes should be either yes or no, I don't need to know if a voter is neutral. if that voter is neutral then just stay out of the voting process, plain and simple. The simpler the better imho. Cheers!  Talk 20:14, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

Scottie thanks for your replies and all i can say is hallelujah for that. Peace Dude.  Talk 07:04, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Small World
Well, I was on Wikipedia, and I was looking at the archived discussion of the "Battle of Thermopylae" page. I saw a post with your signature on it, and I thought to myself, "it's a small world." 🇨🇩

Admin
You'd become a great admin because you participate in War Room topics, discusions and more. I know no-one is supposed to become an admin until COD: Black Ops is released. 08:20, May 5, 2010 (UTC)

Hey
Would you like to officially join the RCP group? I'm going to try to rally the group for the Overhaul project, and having you would probably catalyze things, you've garnered a large amount of respect, and you're a great example of the group's goals.


 * Okay, thanks, it's not actually a very hard thing to do, as you know, but there don't seem to be many of the actual patrollers doing much.  Warpig  3|1|2 20:19, May 13, 2010 (UTC)

What's wrong with the voting template?

UoTM
It has begun... Doc.  Richtofen  14:58, May 21, 2010 (UTC) I think you've won UoTM seeing as there is only one nomination up and no others can be added. Doc.  Richtofen  21:12, May 29, 2010 (UTC)

Apart from sticking something on the sitenotice I have no idea. Doc.  Richtofen  07:55, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

deviantART buddy!
You have a deviantart? Sweet. I have an account there, too, and I've submitted like 3 drawings. Your pictures are epic... they're a lot better than mine. I'm not really good at coloring... I'm more of into sketching with my pencil. Still, I think they come out nice... I haven't submitted anything new in like five months, though...

Random Man 0213 04:03, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Well done!
I just saw the award you got. Congratulations! Also, Scottie, there's something I want to ask you. You've shown yourself to be a very competent editor - one of the best in my opinion. You participate in a great number of War Room discussions, and you are one of only a handful of editors that I would consider "the best". What I want to ask you is this - when the RfA page is re-opened, how would you feel about me nominating you for adminship? Sgt. S.S. 16:12, May 27, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, that's no problem. Let me know if you change your mind. Sgt. S.S. 16:14, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

re:people are forgetting to update the vote template after voting
Indeed that is very true. I don't mind editing that, as its very simple matter to take care of. I think that people get scared when they go to source mode and see all that code.  Talk 05:14, June 19, 2010 (UTC)

P.S. it's good to hear from you!

Hey
I was coming over to thank you for nominating me for User of the Month, it means a lot coming from you, I'd also like to say that I think you should get the User Helpfulness Ribbon, you don't do the normal type but your contributions in the War Room, I think, should be considered some of the most helpful of all edits. I still think you should accept a nomination for administrative flags because you're a great contributor, you're the example of quality over quantity edits, and you're always articulate and concise (and your recent comment on the Halt Blogging forum was absolutely hilarious), come time to reopen the Requests for Adminship page, I'd like to nominate your for sysop, if you would accept. TimSim (talk) 14:08, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

I know this probably doesn't mean much to you, as you get a lot of praise and such, and you don't know me very well, but you're an amazing editor! I tell you, you really should become an admin before anyone else on the wiki does.   404 Error   File Not Found  Please Try Again 14:21, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * I understand what you mean, a wiki is a hard thing to commit to when as a sysop when one has a job or school. TimSim (talk) 14:23, June 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ah yes, as I've said before, I love your artwork :D You sure do seem like a busy guy (do you get any sleep? XD). TimSim (talk) 16:14, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

RE: RE: Signature
My signature comes up in a template. If you take a look at my siggy while editing a page I left a message in, it would show up as a template. Like here:

I have no idea where you got the idea from, but, if you STILL persist me after this, then yes, I will ask Ukimies or a siggy changer to make a new one for me then.

You are an awesome user who knows what he is doing exactly on this wiki when many users don't by not thinking. You find stuff you fix and discuss policies and problems in the War Room. Without you, this wiki would collapse. 07:22, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
