Welcome to the team
Greetings from SOG, recruit. We're happy to have you aboard at the Call of Duty Wiki, so here's a briefing on how you can help:


 * Our policies  are something you should get familiar with, so you can have a good understanding of our rules. You will find very helpful information on what is and is not allowed on the wiki.


 *  Recent changes  is a great second stop for beginners, because you can see what pages other people people are interested in, and which ones might need your talents!


 * The Sandbox  is a great place to test things out if this is your first time editing wikis. It is advisable to know what is commonplace on the wiki, such as  templates  and  categories, and how to use them.


 * Have questions? You can ask at the Help desk, or post a message on  my talk page ! Also feel free to contact an  administrator ; sysops' names are highlighted in green and bureaucrats' names are highlighted in cyan . But remember, my friend, we are all in this fight together, so feel free to ask anyone you like - we are always watching each other's backs!


 * Have feedback? The War Room  is used to discuss changes to wiki or other community related issues. You'll need 50 main space edits to vote, recruit, but your opinion is still appreciated!

I look forward to having you here, my friend! It is always good to have another soldier on the front lines of editing!

your blog was deleted for you.  Talk 07:44, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks a lot, man. Tsunami Volt 07:48, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

Re:PS3? Really?
Of course you can add me. :). I'd be happy to play with you. I use two PSNs, "Syugecin" and "SK2Day". Feel free to add either or both, and just mention that you're from the wiki. :). Also, this page has a large list of other wiki members who play the PS3, and who I'm sure would be happy to add you if you asked. Cheers, 16:02, May 29, 2011 (UTC)

I know you didn't ask me but I was wondering if you could add me too. You live in Hong Kong and I live in Korea. I can never find any players who are in Asia to play with so the game is so laggy causing normal gameplay to be impossible. But with us being so close, it won't be a problem!

Please add me, my PSN ID is: guitar_t-bone

The PSN is still under maintenence in my area so just send me the friend request and I will accept it as soon as the PSN is back up in my area.+

Cheers!

 * It was really minor but I thought I'd warn you about the leaked content rules 12:35, May 30, 2011 (UTC)


 * Any information that hasn't officially (I.e Trailer/Interview) been released by Activision, IW or 3arc is classed as leaked content. 13:21, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Adding a Usergroup?
Well first, you'd have to create a page for your usergroup. So for you it would be  User:Tsunami Volt/(your usergroup's name here) . If you need help setting that up, I can help with that too.

Next, you'd have to decide what kind of group you wanted to create. If it was a group like "ACR users", "original Call of Duty players", or any other game or community related group, you would have to gather 10 total members (you are included). However, if you making a wiki markup related group, like "the Double Redirect fixing group" or the "red link removal group", you would only need 5 members (again, you are included).

Then, after creating your page, and gathering the required number of members, your group would have to have been around for a week. Then you can apply for official usergroup recognition on the usergroup page.

Hope that helps. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask. :). Cheers, 15:11, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

The Neutralists
I think its a good idea and I would like to join. Dudebot • Talk 20:05, June 5, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Blogs are a great place to start and since I'm an Admin on the Homefront Wiki, I'll make a blog there. Plus I'll make a blog there. Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 10:43, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * How about this as the userbox for the usegroup. Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 10:50, June 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * If you go into edit mode and copy and paste it and add it to you userpage, anyone looking at your userboxs will see it. I'll get started on the blogs. Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 11:01, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I made it a template. Use . Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 11:06, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yea, I noticed some talkpages do that. At the leave a message button, beside it is a little arrow. Click it and you will get the option to edit the whole thing. Then just scroll down to you message and reply there. I'll add the Userbox heading to the page. When its formed into a page like Usergroups:RCP, will we just copy everything and put it there? Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 11:11, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Would you like me to add the userbox to you userpage? I don't have time to make a blog so when I get a chance I'll make them. Dudebot • Talk 11:22, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'll add it for you. I'll make the blog for the Homefront Wiki. Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 11:31, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * "Thanks a lot for devoting the time to helping the usergroup! If I had enough mainspace edits to vote for the next User of the Month, I'd gladly pick you!"

- Tsunami Volt.


 * Thanks for that, and I added the userbox to your usergroup page. Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 11:34, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Sigs
Do you want it like mine or do you want it colored and has a background? Do you need anymore help with The Neutralists? Dudebot • Talk 18:42, June 6, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ask Sp3c, he does signatures. Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 11:04, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I made a blog and a forum and neither have attracted any attention. Do you have any ideas? Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 11:23, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Internet Relay Connection. Call of Duty Wiki:IRC <---Link Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 11:35, June 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * I can't do it right now but later, I'll go on and ask them. Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 11:40, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

Re:New Usergroup!
Hey Tsunami Volt. First off, sorry for the tardy reply. Second of all, I've checked out your group and just want to mention a few things. For one, I definitely like the idea, and I'm amazed at how much work you put into it. I just wonder if the actions this group would be taking (which from my interpretation appear to be on the mediating front) would actually have negative rather than positive effects. For example, if two users are in a fight, the entrance of a third party, even as a mediator, may serve to only exacerbate their conflict (or even turn both sides against the third party). Additionally, our blocking policies here and the user treatment policy both dictate that when the level of insults reaches a near-vicious level, it is the job of the administrators to step in.

Now, that said, I think that the idea of a usergroup with the intention of promoting neutrality is a great idea, but I think that the mission statement should be slightly altered. Rather than an active stance to clean up 'wars', I would think that a more passive stance in which usergroup members pledge to stay civil and report possible user conflicts to administrators to be monitored would be a better course of action.

Of course, the choice is up to you either way, keep it the way it is, or change it, it's your group. :). Also, if you're looking for members and more discussion of your group, give the wiki IRC channel a shot, probably the only real multiple-user real-time discussion area out there. And you can always talk to me too. :P. Sorry again, and cheers, 21:05, June 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't get me wrong, I love the group idea, I'm just worried about what will happen the first time a full-scale flame war erupts, and a well-intentioned user tries to intervene... It could turn out well, but it could also... :a. I could just be unnecessarily worried though. xD.
 * The IRC is basically an internet message board, there's a specialized one for the wiki. And don't worry, I don't understand all of that text stuff either. D: Cheers, 21:28, June 7, 2011 (UTC)

sig
I'm done! Do you like this one?   津波　ヴォト Talk   or this one?   Tsunami Volt Talk. Tell me which one you like and I'll make a template for you! 22:22, June 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Tsunami is a Japanese word so, idk! XD. I'll put that one in a template, you'll have to use for it to work.  13:36, June 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * I put a white background with a black border. 14:37, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Sure, count me in!.- Diegox223  Talk 00:03, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

More userboxes
Would you like me to add more userboxes that say stuff like; this user is a master member of The Neutralists or this ember is a senior member of The Neutralists? Dudebot • Talk  22:58, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Usergroup Opinions
I think the whole situation is just rising from misunderstandings of what the intended purpose of the group is. From what I see, it appears that the usergroup is being misconstrued as a way for users to "backseat admin" or as a cause of potential exacerbation for any fight. As I said earlier, regardless of your good intentions, entering into an active fight and trying to convince the opposing sides that they should calm down may not turn out the way you intend, and it seems that other people have that same opinion.

As for the next course of action, I think you should just explain your vision of the usergroup, similar to what you explained to me. You may eventually have to change the focus or mission of the group to clear up the issues, but you can't really do anything more than to explain your side. :a. 01:12, June 10, 2011 (UTC)


 * I've expelled Dudebot from the user group. Don't add him back, please, or I might need to expel you too. 13:55, June 11, 2011 (UTC)

Re:
Yea, we talked about it on IRC. I'll add myself. By the way, thanks for sticking up for me. Dudebot • Talk 02:55, June 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * I also made a master member template. It's called  . Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg  03:01, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Re:
I said he could add himself back, I removed him because he didn't seem to have even read the rules. I'm confident now that he has, so he's more than welcome to rejoin the group at master member status. 03:47, June 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * And you don't need to be sorry for protesting what I do, I'm more than happy to accept any constructive criticism. Don't be afraid to stand up to me, I'm not someone who'll give you the banhammer just for disagreeing with something I do. Threatening to expel you from the usergroup was wrong, I'm sorry for even saying that. 03:49, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Usergroup
In order for your usergroup to become official, you need to propose it in the War Room for the community to vote on it. Until then, it won't be recognised as official. 12:39, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

2 Things

 * 1) When should we go to the War Room to present The Neutralists?
 * 2) Do you have your signature set as your wikia sig? Because it seems that your writing out . If you set it as your wikia sig, when you click the signature button at the top of the toolbar or you put ~, it will show up and you won't have to write out  . Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 13:04, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * At the top right corner, scroll under your name and click My preferences. Then scroll down to the Signature box and type in; . From then on, putting ~ will show up as your signature. Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 13:26, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Nice, my best was like 28 but I forgot to sign in because my brother's friend was over so my best is 15. Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 13:34, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * X-box 360. Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 13:36, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * Are you typing ~ ? Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 13:38, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Re:Messages
I'm assuming you mean the Football-related messages. I'll remove them from the page view. If you get stupid spam like above, then just edit the page, and put tags around it. 13:35, June 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, the heading too. 14:17, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

Redirect
I've added a redirect for the usergroup page so just type in TN in the search bar. Dudebot • Talk 13:42, June 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Need anything else for the usergroup? Reply whenever you want, don't risk the game. 38 is a high level. Mercy.jpgot • Talk Welcome to Freedom.jpg 13:44, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

The Neutralists
I'm starting to think The Neutralists is a clan on this wiki of seinor and lower membership, which won't be allowed for security reasons. Can you clarify to my talk page that it isn't a clan?Goodboy12 22:31, June 14, 2011 (UTC)
