Call of Duty Wiki:Real Life Page Project

Hi everyone. For a long time, we've had a lot of topics that only deal with real-life events, such as the Normandy Landings. Previously, there has been a push to delete them. However, those pages can be useful for showing common events in the Call of Duty games. With a little rewriting, they can be exclusively focused on Call of Duty.

The project is simple, make our real life articles similar to this article. Basically, you need to get rid of every bit if real life info and make sure everything on the page is only related to Call of Duty. That means going things like getting rid of the battle infobox for battles. However, make sure to link to the subject's Wikipedia article so that those interested in the place in real life have a source to go to!

Category:Real Life Article Here is all of the articles that need to be edited. Those who help will get a badge showing that they helped!

If you guys find any other pages that are RL articles, please add this template to the page and it'll appear as a Real Life Article.

Very good idea. These events actually happened in real life and countries are included too. 08:10, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

What about articles (e.g. Australia) that have no Call of Duty-related content? --Scottie theNerd 07:34, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Comment WithStalingrad I feel we should add a note about the killing that went on there, it further boosts the level T  C  E   B 10:37, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I've already finished Canada and Brazil. I am going to do more tonight.  Sgt.  Dunn  12:10, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

i just worked on Berlin and the Reichstag. Any expansion on the DS parts would be appreciated.

Comment- Does this only refer to Countries/Places? Or does it relate to other things like Infinity Ward and Treyarch, both of which are in real life.  MUNCHABLE901   [Talk?]  15:52, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I removed the IRL for United Kingdom.  MUNCHABLE901   [Talk?]  16:00, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

i've also removed irl on Pelilu and Okinawa.


 * You guys gotta remember not to just remove the IRL, but too also build up the article with Call of Duty information. --CodExpert 16:04, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

i would, but i don't have most of the early COD games. I can add for W@W and MW2, but thats it.
 * That's fine. Darkman 4 16:30, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

There wasn't too much info about Peleliu. I sorted some of it out, but it needs all the help it can get. Maj.Gage Talk. 18:05, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

Okay I removed RL info in Rio, Afghanistan, and Little Saturn. Little Saturn still needs more game info though. Foxtrot12 18:30, June 10, 2010 (UTC)

may i make a makin(location) page as the old one was never resorted?

alright, i just made a new makin page, feel free to improve.(even though tere isn't much to improve on)

never mind it's getting deleted

Pointe du Hoc is done. Foxtrot12 15:38, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

@ MUNCHABLE: I believe Infinity Ward and Treyarch stay, they do MAKE CoD. 21:25, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

I've fixed up Berlin. 21:38, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

@Dolten: That's not what I ment, what I ment to say was, do we put up the template too?  MUNCHABLE901   [Talk?]  00:15, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Fixed up Pripyat. Removed unnecessary disaster information, and simply left a link to Wikipedia while boosting some of the CoD content. -- Tigernose  Throwing_knife.png  Chat  •  Edits  00:20, June 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think I failed when I fixed Kursk. Emblem-simplegun.jpg Maj.Gage  Talk . 01:04, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Piano Lupo down couldn't find the wikipedia page though if anyone can help. Foxtrot12 05:12, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

What do we do with the articles that are all RL info? 14:11, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

What articles are all RL? Foxtrot12 14:54, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

How about the World War II page? TONS OF IRL.  MUNCHABLE901   [Talk?]  02:35, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Good point it is practically all RL which is kind of sad considering that it is where most of the games take place. I would say that we need to start putting these articles on the improvement drive the WW2 article is most likely to big for one person I think that if in the Improvement drive then the community can help. I will nominate it shortly so any support would be appreciated.Foxtrot12 04:26, June 14, 2010 (UTC)

Um, Stuart Light Tank is all RL info. Absolutely no CoD-related info.

With Stuart it really kind of annoys me does anybody know which game it appears in? Because the article doesn't mention it if we knew what game then it could be cleaned up. If we can't find which game it is in I fear we might need to delete it. Foxtrot12 16:54, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Rangers are done don't know how to post a wikipedia link in source mode though. Foxtrot12 22:25, June 16, 2010 (UTC)


 * It is actually kinda easy (I think). This is all you need to type in: [your link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Main_Page) your text (wikipedia link)] wikipedia link Unless that is not what you wanted, there you go. :) Attack Rhino 23:53, June 16, 2010 (UTC)

Alright I feel like I should have gotten that earleir so thanks for making me feel kind of stupid. But otherwise I have noticed that we are keeping the RL templates on articles after they are cleaned of all RL info should we be doing that I think we should take them out of the category once cleaned is there any opposition to that? Or should I remove the RL templates for articles that have been cleaned out and gutted of RL info? Foxtrot12 02:18, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

Wohoo! They let me keep my Makin(location) page. Please help edit that page.

Hitler
The Adolf Hitler page isn't really relevant to CoD in a way that I can find.  TG (t   c)  04:06, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Yes but Hitler is up for deletion and that is the best way to go I think. He has no relevence to COD games other than the fact his speeches can be heard and he is mentioned if someone were to clean it up then he would have a paragraph about his speeches being heard. Deletion is the only way to go.Foxtrot12 16:43, June 15, 2010 (UTC)

Yea and the Erwin Rommel page.

US Army
The US Army page has a lot of IRL facts. Im removing them if im allowed to. --Soldier 17:12, June 17, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, go ahead. 17:14, June 17, 2010 (UTC)
 * If you see any Grammatical errors can you do me a favour and edit them? thanks. --Tbsoldier sig.pngSoldier 17:17, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

I fixed the Marines page. Maj.Gage Talk. 01:07, June 18, 2010 (UTC)

I just finished Nazi Germany.

I helped out with the Normandy Landings, if that's alright. If not, fix it. LuzerChezbergr 05:28, June 20, 2010 (UTC)

A little help with the Marines page >.< --Soldier 07:44, June 23, 2010 (UTC)

Marines looks good. Done with that.

Ok sweet thanks! --Soldier 00:50, June 24, 2010 (UTC)
