User talk:Darkman 4/Archive 2

Sorry
Sorry I removed the vote. I understand. I know I should be saying sorry to the other guy, but I don't know his name.

Callofduty4 |    What you after?  12:01, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Sorry about that
I didnt realise there was already an Easter Egg topic besides the one that vandal created. If I'd known I'd have told an admin right away, but I just realised it right before you deleted it. WouldYouKindly 02:49, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
 * That's okay. Darkman 4 02:54, 1 July 2009 (UTC)

Quick question
Hi Darkman. I checked recent changes and noticed you were the only admin active at the moment. Anyway, to my question... I've designed a potential new custom skin for the wiki and wanted to get feedback on it from the community. Would the best place to do this be the War Room or the Watercooler forum? JoePlay (talk) 00:12, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Check out the bottom of the Personal Computer page
VANDALISM!

Callofduty4 |    What you after?  09:32, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Quick Question
Yo Darkman, on the 'did you know' thing on the main page, it says there is no dismemberment. Should it be removed, as there is no definite proof?


 * Sure. Darkman 4 18:23, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

Re: User welcomes
If I remember to mark them then yes I will do that, but sometimes I am in a hurry and there wasn't anything going on (no other edits from anyone) during that time so I didn't think to mark them minor. 14:11, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

Policies
Hey! Did you start working on those policies yet? I have some free time coming up and am willing to help you, so message me with whatever you need.-- 04:24, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Creepydude iz willing 2 halp.  05:05, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * You better!!! :) Joey   aa   05:11, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Go away spammer! Dammit, I should've blocked you while I had the chance... xD   05:16, 7 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds great! Take your time and if you need me to do anything, just hit me up.-- 17:57, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Archive MW2 talk?
I think the Talk page of MW2 is too big. It should be archived, and a fresh one started.

If you think I'm being stupid don't listen to me

Callofduty4 |    What you after?


 * Good idea. Darkman 4 22:04, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

BIG
Why have you delefe BIG?, Darkman 4 is a idiot! all his delefe is idiot! 23:16, 14 July 2009 (UTC)


 * This is a database about the CoD games, not about clans. The end. Darkman 4 23:29, 14 July 2009 (UTC)

So have images been fixed?
Or should I wait for a while, cause I would like to re-upload the pics of the Special Forces guys and Makarov. 2-5


 * Wikia always has fail Image caches. Joey   aa  06:04, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

Admin
Am I an admin? because it says I can "block users". Cod1 What up   4:32, 16 July 2009

ohh ok sorry I thought the "block user" button was just for the admins. Cod1 What up   4:56, 16 July 2009

Block this loser
He spammed moozipan cheese's page. He is a vandal, and can't be bothered to read the guidelines for voting for the new featured article. PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO THIS LOSER. HE WASTED MY TIME VOIDING HIS VOTE AND WRITING A DESCRIPTION WHY I HAD TO DO SUCH AN ACT.  Callofduty4 |    What ya after?  22:27, 17 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Doesn't look like he's done anything wrong to me. Darkman 4 23:49, 17 July 2009 (UTC)

Ok whatever. Thanks for banning the asshole who messed up my page.  Callofduty4 |    What ya after?  01:32, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Joem's Signature
Do you know how to fix it? I tried adding  to it, but it doesn't seem to be the problem because it ended up showing the   on his signature. Powers38 03:59, 21 July 2009 (UTC)

Article to delete
Some fool made an article titled United States Air Force and only had one, vulgar sentence in it. I erased the sentence, but now the article is empty, and unless someone can quickly fill it up with some worthwhile info, it should be deleted. Can anyone delete stuff or is that for the more seasoned CODWiki guys like you? I was going to delete it but figured maybe you're only allowed to do that stuff, haha. BulletBait 133 17:12, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

LMAO, nevermind. I see you disposed of it while I typed the request. BulletBait 133 17:14, 25 July 2009 (UTC)

Image Licenses
Another admin referred me to you for this. I uploaded an image of prestige symbols found on the call of duty website (these prestige symbols were not used in game however) and it was deleted because it had no license. What license should I use for uploading this image? I basically cropped the prestige symbols from the websites leaderboard all into one image. //--TehK 04:38, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Ok, thanks, please fix it if I get it wrong when I reupload though. //--TehK 04:46, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Your fair use template doesn't show up in the drop down (might want to edit the MediaWiki page for that), hehe, also could you undelete File:Call of duty 5 prestige.jpg, as it is not allowing me to reupload it. //--TehK 04:50, 27 July 2009 (UTC)

Time to archive MW2 talk page again
I think we should. It should be archived, and a fresh one started.

If it isn't time to do this, don't listen to me.

User blocking
Hey, I am not on particularly frequently, but I have been on recently and checking up on some things like reported vandalism. I have also noticed something from you (and BigM) that must be stopped. When you block users or IPs, you usually put some kind of a message like this one I just dug up: "If u vandalize after u ar unblocked ull die after 3 days 8===D". This sort of thing may not be tolerated. Wikia's policy is that you be respectful to ALL users, INCLUDING vandals. No-one likes a vandal, but giving them that sort of message is unbecoming of an admin. Second thing I have to say, is that blocking users should be a last resort. Many of the vandals that we have deserve to be blocked, but I think the best thing to do is post this on their talk page, then if they continue to vandalise, a block is in order. One thing I noticed was that 1 day block you handed out to the user who put that picture of Der Reise on that template. That was very easily an honest mistake, and even a measely 1 day block could be, and maybe was enough to turn him away, since he hasn't edited again. Instead, you should post a HELPFUL response on his talk page. Besides that, the block message went like this: "Dumb enough to put a picture about a certain level on a template used by every level's page." Although that is a dumb thing to do, he's clearly a new user and putting something like that will discourage him. Really, to sum up, be respectful, and don't hand out blocks so easily. Try and warn before blocking, it makes this a lot better. Cheers, 17:02, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Quick Question
Users can't remove content from their own talk pages, right?


 * Oh, ok thanks.

Re:User Welcomes
Sure no problem. I didn't thing of that.   Callofduty4   Talk

02:19, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Why no titles/ranks?
Why not? Can you please post a reply on my talk page? Thanks


 * Right, thanks a lot.

user of the month
It says i'm the user of the month for july.

IRC
Joey is waiting for you on IRC-- 23:58, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Policies
I looked over those policies and they seem ready to go. I suggest you run them through a brief spell check and then put them up on the war room. I suggest you use user subpages to host the content and link to it rather than post the entire content on the war room.-- 23:59, 3 August 2009 (UTC)

~ issue
People not signing their posts with 4 tildes is now becoming a big issue. I think we should make a template explaining to people that they must sign their posts. Any ideas?

ok

omg whoever was above even forgot the rule!Chickenyumnomnom 00:34, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

Implement new rules
You clearly have all the support you need. Should the new rules you devised be implemented and written in "permanent ink"?

Modern Warfare 2 title change
Bigm is refusing to change the title to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 just because Wikipedia hasn't changed their page yet. The official box art is out and I even posted a link to an article about "brand awareness" increasing via the addition of the CoD prefix. There are 4 users disagreeing with him, but he won't budge. It's ridiculous. Please help us out in MW2 talk page. Imrlybord7 18:45, 8 August 2009 (UTC)


 * This is now getting out of hand. If it gets any more out of hand, we need to get Wikia staff to sort this out.

The newest "Did You Know?"
Wouldn't this be considered vandalism? I would undo it myself but I don't know whether it is a valid item or not 72.195.147.117 20:03, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

Why?
Dude, I put a picture of someone (in-game) being shot by a shotgun and you take it down claiming it was a horrible picture? If you think thats horrible type in gib then search. Cuz that has got bits of body parts every where!!!!!--Annihilatortom 13:01, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Site announcement
We need a site announcement for your new rules, otherwise some players would never know. By the way great job on them, now we can start to do things properly around here.

DS Uzi
Hey Darkman, the "Uzi" DS pictures you uploaded are actually Ingram MAC-10s. SaintofLosAngelesXD(m) 20:33, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

speculation ahoy...
Hey, sorry to bother you, but I thought I'd bring to your attention a problem that's been pervading this wiki for the past few days. People have been adding uncited speculation (IE: making crap up) to every. single. one. of the character articles (the birth date, to be more specific). Even the cannon fodder characters, even Sniper Team Two! Would they be considered breaking wiki policy doing this, and if so, is there anything you or one of the other admins can do about it? Thanks very much. WouldYouKindly 00:46, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah hopefully that'll help, thanks, I was getting sick of undoing all of it lol WouldYouKindly 00:54, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Woah, now. Don't you think that's a little drastic? You know, there are many characters who actually do have official birth years. Just because people keep adding random dates doesn't mean we have to remove the whole field. We could always try putting a notice on MediaWiki:Anonnotice. We did that when people kept changing "Lieutenant" to "Leftenant" on all sorts of articles, and it nearly completely stopped when we put the notice up. 01:05, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

That might be a good idea too, I dunno, I'm not an admin so it's up to you guys I guess. WouldYouKindly 01:09, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

MW2 categories
It took some doing, but the doing's done. Here are the old ones: Category:Modern Warfare 2, Category:Modern Warfare 2 Characters, Category:Modern Warfare 2 Single Player Levels, Category:Modern Warfare 2 Weapons. Also, is there some kind of template notice for articles that have speculative or unspecified titles? The article Zoom could use it (I'm not sure if the article's creator made up the name or if it's in some source I haven't seen yet). -- Commdor (Talk) 02:36, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh crap!
I had no idea! I never played the game, it seemed so obvious to me, I'm sorry! 14:40, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

This isn't related to the infobox, but I just wanted to say you gave me a good laugh in your edit summary for protecting the War Room. I don't really know why, but that was hilarious. 19:07, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Acting like an admin
That's not what I'm trying to do. I'm just trying to help out. If I am, I'm sorry.


 * Ok. I think you're right. I'll calm down some. I don't want to get back to my "pre-block" personality.

Archiving my page
Thanks for doing it. I would have never gotten it right myself.

Re
Personally I am opposed to removing it, some birthdates are given-- 08:03, 15 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I see where you're coming from but I sitll disagree. However, it is not for us 2 to decide. If you really want it changed, bring it to the War Room-- 08:13, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Page for deletion
Someone made a page for CoD map pack 4. Just a guy advertising his website about his theory about the zombies. CirChris  -Here to help! 00:25, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

page for deletion
A page called Austrailia contains only a spam link. Cpl. Callofduty4 17:30, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Template
The Cod5 maps template does not have the correct color. I don't know how to fix this, so could you do something? or tell me how to fix it? Thanks a lot. Cpl. Callofduty4 17:30, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Lol is it just me or is Master190 getting more and more... strange? (His english seems to be improving though) WouldYouKindly 15:45, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

He isn't Master 190, It was just my friend trying to screw around.-- 23:06, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

thanks a lot for your vote. Cpl. Callofduty4 16:55, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Relevance
Since you asked [(yes, I'm quite aware that you were being rhetorical)], E Company relates to Call of Duty in that it's an in-game unit. The E Company that the person wrote about, was, well, the wrong E Company. 20:13, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Vandal

WaW DLC
Um, I have Xbox 360 and was wondering if you knew how what the price was for World at War DLC? --Leon1494 20:54, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

We could use some help here.
I think reading this will explain most everything, and what needs to happen. I told BigM and Chia about it, too. 04:39, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Just in case you were wondering
Just in case you were wondering about all the Recent Edits spam on my part, I was just removing all the false birthdates that our friend William added during his short tenure here. Unless I missed any, I should be done now. WouldYouKindly 21:22, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

We got us a new one here: IP: 78.147.65.25 has vandalized the Mile High Club article twice in the past 10 minutes. WouldYouKindly 17:44, September 5, 2009 (UTC)

EDIT: and now he's vandalizing One Shot, One Kill and Game Over WouldYouKindly 17:47, September 5, 2009 (UTC)
