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. Peter Griffen Boy 06:16, January 18, 2010 (UTC)

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 understand that, but my personality isn't one of the best out there, as you may already know, and I have trouble keeping my cool. Yes, I'm like that all the time, not just on the CoD wiki. I should try better though to keep my cool. I'm not going to whinge or cry over what you said so don't worry. We're perfectly fine with one 'crat, epecially one as good as you. I appreciate the fact you bothered to post such long messages on the RfA and my talk page but I in fact already knew that some people would have a problem.

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? Imrlybord7 18:40, February 28, 2010 (UTC)

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)

New Policy
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)

Rollback
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?

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)

Going to announce the project - move all the existing usergroups to Usergroup: and create a page called Call of Duty Wiki:Usergroups where there's a full list of usergroups and a section where you can make a request to have your usergroup approved and put into the sidebar. Just wanted to make sure this was okay with you.

Wierd Admin Template thingy
Hello, just thought it might be useful if I made the following: Template:Administrators. It's just a small template admins could put at the bottom of their pages, like a directory:

It's written in alphabetical order, and can be easily changed to suit the needs. You don't have to use it, just thought it might be a nice addition to the wiki. Could you give me your opinion on it? Smuff 20:13, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok thanks for your opinion, it means alot, and I see what you mean, I wouldnt know though, I'm not an admin (yet, mwahahahaa xD) Well, it's there if you ever see the need for it on anything anyway. Again, thanks for the opinion =D Smuff 22:58, March 13, 2010 (UTC)

Newsfeed
So right now it's at a 6-1-0 vote, but I have a problem.

Nobody has volunteered to browse the news every day so they can update it - although I'm sure there are people here who do that.

What should I do?

 * Alright good. Sorry about using your guy by the way. I just want to mention a few things. First of all, there has to be some use of others' characters, otherwise nothing will get done, story-line wise. Secondly, I would like to propose creating a rule that makes it so that a character or characters have to be added to the main storyline by the end of that chapter. Things just went strange after a few chapters, two divergent stories.

Roleplay
Do we need a ruleset? Or does it change per each roleplay?

Also, the current one is a little too far out now. It's not really interesting and I'm thinking of just making another one (possibly invite only?).

Should we categorize roleplays into different categories (ie Historic, Modern, Futuristic)?

And one last thing - what about a "Featured Roleplay"?

-- EightOhEight  01:28, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

I'm on IRC, by the way. Just in case you needed to discuss anything.

Also, I've made a new one with a stricter set of rules because the last one was just boring.

Roleplay
I'm really sorry that I used your character Eugene without you permission, but for future reference, can I still use him whenever I want or are there specific requirements as when I can use him? I just want to be sure. I'm not going to kill or abuse him, if that's what you're thinking.

Really hope all of these problems get sorted out. I'm itching to know what's going to happen next!

By the way, I'm going to help you correct most of the grammar and spelling mistakes. Hope that's okay. Bad English just rubs me the wrong way...

I think we got the timeline down, but the discussions regarding these problems have diminished, and I'm worried that it'll take too long to get the forum up and running again.

Random Man 0213 22:28, March 22, 2010 (UTC)

Excellent! Sounds like a plan! By the way, I was thinking about including a section at the top of the forum where the users would include whether or not they would allow their characters to be used by other users, if not then why, or if there are specific requirements. (We could also add it to our respective character bios!) I believe that this will save a lot of time and space on our talk pages, as we don't have to constantly hunt down the other users just to find out whether or not their characters can be used. Does this sound good. If so, then I'll put it up as soon as I can! This will definently solve our character usage problems!

See ya later!

Cutting the colons (pun not intended) to restart my lines... And yeah, I totally like the Michael Kuhn introduction idea, that would be a good way to introduce him. Perhaps Adam and Eugene don't initially trust him for being a coward (perhaps he has a weapon but is still hiding on the lamp) and he's like.. I dunno, he's your character. I'll be waiting to add on. :D.

Do you think I should draft a policy that bars users from posting obvious flamebait?
Recent blogs like "STOP BITCHING!!11!!eleven" and "360 vs PS3" are filled with potential for flame wars. Should we ban such blogs, or is that too much of a limit on free speech?

Roleplay...Again...
Sorry about another Roleplay message, but I just need to share something with you:

If you've been reading the past few chapters, you should know what happens to the main group after you guys left.

In case you haven't, here's a summary:

After Vicks and Adam left, the group decides to investigate a sound which turns out to be a mouse. However, a zombie hand pops out of a door; the zombies have discovered we were there. You were right, we were wrong. Anyways, everybody splits up, with half the group hiding in a close, two of them jumping out a window, and the other two still fending the zombies off.

I want my character Erika to escape, and I want her to meet up with either Vicks and Adam or Wilding and his friends. So, congrats! I was just wondering if you would be happy to allow her to join your group. If you don't like her, don't want her, or can't have her, then I'll understand and I'll ask somebody else, but it would make me happy to see Erika with Vicks and Adam again. Of course, I also want you to be happy too!

So, what do you say? Can Erika join your group or can't she? It's your choice!

Random Man 0213 05:56, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

P.S. By the way, I also have an epic plan on what will happen at the base... Of course they could just go there and get help, yet nobody believes him, but imagine this:

Eugene and Adam reach the base, only to find it in ruins; they had been discovered by the zombies. Although no zombies were around, the bodies of the soldiers slain litter the ground as the two gaze in horror at the destruction...Then there'll be this emotional scene where they witness a survivor of the massacre die, and perhaps there is a radio...yada yada yada...let's just say that they need to call a jeep before the planes bathe the land in flames...

I'm just throwing an idea out there. Of course, your opinion still counts! Well, anyways, I'm off to sleep...See ya later!

By the way: CH-CH-CH-Chia! :)

Have fun!

Random Man 0213 05:56, March 25, 2010 (UTC)

That's okay, I guess Erika wouldn't be able to catch up with them. I already have a back up plan. By the way, can the others still go to base you guys are going to. They're probably not going to see them on the way, but I really can't think of another place they would want to go after the Reichstag got overwhelmed. They'll probably be really far behind Vicks and Doherty!

Notice
Okay I'm not sure if you were on but PGB got blocked for personal attacks, ask Bovell, Darkman and Doc.Richtofen. Three admins supported his block, for personal attacks against myself (see my talk page) and against Griever (he started a flame war with it). So about four of us are defending Griever, and telling PGB exactly why Griever said that PGB was being unwarrantedly arrogant, so he just goes off. Minutes ago Callofduty4 unblocked PGB with no good reasoning, on the basis that PGB gave him some pitiful argument about how he was bullied. This is really worrying me, when Admins are suddenly disagreeing about such an obvious incident. I mean, PGB was making serious insults to all of us, and Callofduty4's decision is worrying me. I hope you don't think I'm being immature about this, I am genuinely worried, I would bring this up with other admins or bureaucrats but I do not feel it is my place. Thank you.

As you may be aware, a discussion regarding a revision of COD:G has been going on in the War Room, found here. The thread has been active for about a month now.

Sysops
Many people have said that other admins should not affect your vote in a RFA.

My question is, why?

Many times I feel like opposing on someone's RFA just because we have sixteen (16) admins.

That makes sysop a less coveted position and more of a common thing that any new user can achieve in a few months.

I'm not saying we shouldn't have more admins, I'm just saying that people should have to work harder for it.

Your thoughts?

We need your help
Hello there Chia,

You don't know me, and there's no reason for you to know me. I am simply a fan of Infinity Ward games, and I've encountered a problem that would greatly benefit from your assistance.

On a website called The Escapist, there is a contest going on called March Mayhem, which is a popularity contest between developers. Infinity Ward has, unfortunately, lost, to Zynga, creators of hacks, scams, and terrible Facebook games. Now, Zynga is in the Final Four, facing off against Valve, and I would like to see Zynga stop there. Please, for Infinity Ward fans everywhere, alert the Call of Duty wiki's constituents, and help us drive out Zynga.

Best regards,

---Doc

Sysops
...

So by the end of this year, Gen.Cain, DevilWarrior112, Dolten, Darthkenobi, Cpl. Dunn, Cod1, and all the rest of them will be sysops?

We do not need this many - most people want it because it's just there.

It's a status symbol - to be desired by those who do not have it and to be used wisely by those who do. It should NOT become something so common.

 * I was actually going to mention this in the RFA page. The wiki is beginning to feel top-heavy and RFA is becoming a mess. People are just nominating others for the sake of it rather than taking the RFA seriously, and we're letting people through to Sysop status without due consideration as to why they would actually need to be Sysops. If anything, we should think about closing RFAs until more admins are needed. Otherwise, RFAs will continually be put up and sit there with half-dozen votes until they get vetted through. --Scottie theNerd 05:27, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * For the record I concur with EightOhEight, and although you might not have seen, I will only submit an RfA when I have accumulated sufficient edits and respect, and with the express limiting factor of the wiki growing. As it is we just elected Griever sysop and there are four RFA's still active. We're experiencing little growth, as most new users make a few (if any) edits and leave. I understand that certain users may deserve Adminship but you surely see that the currently active 13 Admins have been able to handle everything so far. However, by the end of the year we may need another Admin, but our current sysops have proven sufficient for the moment.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 06:21, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * That is true, however at this point the process is being rushed. E.TALE for example has quite a few mainspace edits, but has very little notability in the community. You have a good point, but just too many users want to be Sysops just to say that they're Sysops, not for the betterment of the Wiki. Growth is good, but for no reason should every user EightOhEight listed become an Admin. I would say that the policies for the submission of an RFA be more strictly enforced. One of them is notable respect, which seems to have been ignored several times. I would also recommend that the editcount minimum be raised.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 06:35, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * All I'm saying is that I think we could use more regulation, because although some users can determine whether a user would make a good admin, some cannot. Again I reference the E.TALE RfA, although he's got a lot of good edits, he's almost completely unknown. This is the same of Moozipan's RfA, both have gotten some support but are fairly unknown within the community.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 06:53, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I know, and I'm not trying to oppose you, all I'm saying is that some more regulation is, in my opinion, needed, including higher editcount limit for an RfA as our wiki grows. While Admins could be compared to police officers, so could recent changes patrollers, both serve many similar purposes, most users are perfectly capable of handling half-serious vandals.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 07:01, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * How many times would exceptions be made though? Very rarely. Anyway you've obviously got your own opinion just as I have mine, and going back and forth about it will do nothing but take time and space. I've made my suggestion which I hope you take into consideration.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 07:20, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

I'm a bit wary about promoting too many sysops too soon. I'm familiar with an understrength team managing a large website and many times I've wondered why the higher-ups don't just get more volunteers to become moderators. However, I'm quite concerned that new sysops are following intuition rather than following policy -- and in fact, quite a few sysops have gone through the RfA without demonstrating a knowledge of wiki policies on CODwiki and other wikis. I'd rather (in my opinion) settle down and let the new sysops stretch out their new muscles than to keep on adding more people to the roster. Although at first glance it might seem like a good idea to give the responsible users positions of responsibility, time might show an unhealthy culture shift because of these plentiful promotions. --Scottie theNerd 07:53, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Apparently several Admins are discussing closing RfA until CoD7 is released though.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 04:19, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Re: Marines
Yep, thanks for the support, I wish you the best of luck as well.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 06:17, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * People as smart as us were meant for something more. But of course, you know I wish you nothing but the best regardless. Imrlybord7 06:19, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I proudly Pledge my Allegiance to the ideals of the Constitution of the United States of America on a daily basis. I have a home room teacher that does so, leading the class to do so as a group.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 06:28, April 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Indeed but the Admins don't seem to be voting or regulating RFAs as much anymore.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 06:46, April 2, 2010 (UTC)

Signature policy
As you're probably aware, the discussion on signature limitations is reaching a close. Consensus seems to be that a standard needs to be set, and I've noticed an increasing number of users putting oversized images into their signatures, notably the 64px callsign emblems that I presume have been obtained from some online pack. 30px seems to be the acceptable size, as no one has spoken against the notion. What would be the next step to implement this into policy? --Scottie theNerd 19:28, April 3, 2010 (UTC)


 * I can write a draft policy, but I'm a bit reluctant to actually make the project page seeing how I'm not an admin and, at least in my eyes, don't really have the authority to put policy into effect. I've always wondered about how policy gets to be written, and the signature policy is something of a precursor to the much bigger COD:G revision. --Scottie theNerd 04:17, April 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm comfortable with writing policy; just unsure of what the exact process is to implement it. Plus, it doesn't seem right for some random newbie like me to pitch policy to an established wiki, hence why I wanted to know about the procedure. Should I draft the policy in the War Room and call a vote to formalise it? --Scottie theNerd 04:29, April 4, 2010 (UTC)
