User talk:Capt. Miller

Yes, this is my talk page. I really don't know much about wiki editing, other than a couple of things learned from trail and error. I will try to maintain the talk page to be clean, and not out of place.

Re:hey
I suppose this message wasn't adressed to me ? Greetings, Lothar (talk) 11:43, October 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * Just like I wrote on my profile page: I usually make some minor edits in articles. Lothar (talk) 11:52, October 5, 2013 (UTC)

Something
We have the image, problem is we don't know who it is, so for now it is in my sandbox. 12:37, October 7, 2013 (UTC)

Hey there Capt.  
Thanks for leaving me a message, my talk page was quite barren, heh. My favorite weapon I suppose would have to be the MP5k from Call Of Duty: Black Ops in Multiplayer, with the rapid fire attachment.

Hey dude, I guess my favorite weapon in CoD would have to be the M16, M16A4 and M16A1.

Opinion blog
Please do not add the "Opinion Blog" category yourself. As per COD:NEWS only News Team members can give a blog the opinion news category. Thanks. 13:33, October 16, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Hello
First and foremost, I don't want to be MLG. Now for the most important part; please don't delete messages off talk pages, even if they're yours. It's a violation of COD:DDD. 12:10, October 17, 2013 (UTC)
 * Nah, I usually only get annoyed if someone deliberately tries to piss me off, and if so I'll tell them. Jokes are always good, to yours I at least gave a chuckle. 12:24, October 17, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Thank You
Not a problem. I usually watch all the zombies articles closely. I will say that guy is getting annoying though.

RE: NZ Wiki
I guess I could help, but it would depend on what I'd be editing. Any info you could provide concerning that? 16:19, October 24, 2013 (UTC)

Don't delete discussions
Hello, Capt. Miller. It has come to my attention that you have recently deleted part or all of the text on a talk page, that was not vandalism. This is a violation of one the policies on the wiki, seen here, in which you can not delete discussions from a talk page with exception of obvious vandalism, flaming, or spam. If you would like to archive your talk page, please ask an administrator. If you continue to delete discussions off talk pages, you will eventually be subject to a block. Thank you for understanding, have a nice day!
 * You've been warned previously about adding messages and then removing them. 18:50, November 13, 2013 (UTC)

The BF Wiki needs YOU.
Hey man, the guys over at the Battlefield Wiki are in need of some assistance. I told them that you might help out. Think you can lend a hand? 04:52, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

Thanks man, it's really appreciated 13:14, November 19, 2013 (UTC)

Regarding an edit
Could you please give more insight on the following edit? Your edit summary was less than useful and does not explain why you undid it, aside from possible personal opinion. 07:03, November 26, 2013 (UTC)
 * You need to give better reasoning in an edit summary. Furthermore YouTube videos from accounts with the same name aren't banned on that premise alone, only when they contain advertising, as we have many videos uploaded from users from their YouTube accounts. 19:29, November 26, 2013 (UTC)

Something
I'd like to ask you to halt uploads from YT videos (for now) as we have a forum about images from YT. Also, no need to add "First Person" in weapon image names (like in "MTAR-X First Person CoDG.png"), as CoD is FPS game. 12:59, November 27, 2013 (UTC)

Categories
Correct category for your images would be Category:Trinity Rocket images. Just a heads-up. Please refer to COD:CAT when adding categories. 13:33, December 12, 2013 (UTC)

Congrats
Kudos on 1K edits Miller! 17:15, December 21, 2013 (UTC)

Wiki Community Newsletter for Saturday, March 1st

The newsletter will focus on changes to the wiki within the last month and a few notifications for users as well!

What happened last month?

 * Hyperborrean22 suggested we remove opinion blogs from the front page and allow anyone to create them, not just News Team members. After a very longwinded discussion between him and Sam, it was deemed the proposal was in bad faith. Forum:Opnion blogs ''(Opened 15:50, February 16, 2014; closed 17:39, February 20, 2014)
 * Kylet357 noticed that the wiki's official YouTube channel has been inactive and only lightly used, and suggested we put it to better use by asking for improvement ideas. Several good ideas were brought up, such as level walkthroughs and partnerships with existing YouTubers, but in the end it was decided that there exists too much competition for the channel to thrive and not enough user interest in putting effort into the videos. Forum:CoD Wiki YT Channel (Opened 02:15, December 1, 2013; closed 16:30, February 25, 2014)
 * Egon Eagle suggested a new section in mainspace articles for references to the CoD series in popular culture and cited a few examples. The forum received little attention, but after two weeks was closed with the unanimous dicision that those references should remain in the trivia section. Forum:Call of Duty in popular culture (Opened 16:07, February 13, 2014; closed 22:39, February 27, 2014)
 * Verantha was voted February's Featured User! She was previously Featured User in January of 2012. A warm congratulations and big thanks to her for her admirably consistent additions to mainspace articles.

What's happening this month?

 * Call of Duty Wiki:Articles for Deletion has several articles nominated, so please consider dropping by and providing some valuable feedback.
 * Call of Duty Wiki:Requested Improvement Drive Articles is an ongoing project to improve the articles that desperately need it. Argo and many other users put a lot of hard work into it and it would be greatly appreciated if you could help out!
 * Kat has suggested we change the skin of the wiki to something less dark, and has provided a mockup. Some other possible avenues of change have been brought up as well. Forum:Wiki skin revamp
 * Sam noticed a section at the bottom of some pages labeled "Must Watch Videos" that closely resembles the "Related Videos" feature we chose to disable some time ago. After the issue was raised, we all noticed that it only appears every so often. Forum:Must Watch Videos
 * Callofduty4 and Sam have together proposed that we do away with our leaked information policy on the grounds that: it severely limites our ability to post relevant information that would draw viewership; Activision has never asked any other large site to stop posting leaked info like we do, which is unfair and unwarranted; and since we have received no reply from Activision after repeated attempts to clear things up, it's about time we took things into our own hands. It has also been suggested by others that we contact Wikia staff for their take on the situation. Forum:Retiring COD:LEAK
 * AntiScootaTwo has suggested we either allow low-quality Ghosts images to be put into mainspace articles, or start a new image project to combat the amount of Ghosts weapon pages sorely in need of images. The main issue is the lack of editors that own the PC copy or a capture card. Forum:Ghosts Weapon images
 * Sam has lamented that the trivia sections of many articles have become long and filled with untrivial information, and some possible improvements are being discussed. Forum:Regarding trivia sections
 * Damac feels that the recent decline in the quality of news articles has led to decreased readership, and has asked for suggestions for improvement. Prominent ideas so far include more professionalism and a link to this forum. Forum:Quality of News
 * Kylet357 thought it might be necessary to have a new category for satire blogs, but after some reconsideration has changed his proposal to a "non-serious" category. Forum:Satire Category for Blogs

Other reminders

 * Be sure to keep an eye out for vandalism and speculation, especially now that information about the next Call of Duty is being revealed. Be kind and courteous to people who misunderstand things, and make sure to leave an edit summary when undoing an edit!

''Comments? Questions?''

Don't hesitate to leave a comment on this page and we'll do our best to see to it! Thanks for reading.

Re: Article for Deletion
I'm neutral on that. I haven't played Finest Hour at all and from the article I can't really judge whether or not the place is notable enough to have a stay. It looks like it can be improved for sure though. 15:49, March 21, 2014 (UTC)

Spec. Strike Package
How is the information i added onto the Specialist strike package not needed, it's stating a trivial fact about the differences in MW3 and Ghosts

RE: NZ Wiki
Not sure, but I don't think so. We don't have an active b'crat, and I think the only other active sysop might be Mario, but I'm not sure if he's even that active on there anymore. Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 14:48, April 2, 2014 (UTC)

Images
How are you applying transparancy to your images? Because your WA2000 Red image was translucent in the main body. 09:52, April 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * You've done it again with the Olive image. Whatever you are doing is making the main part of the image slightly translucent. 09:58, April 3, 2014 (UTC)
 * It's generally ill advised to use something like that. It's better to use the lasso tool. 10:01, April 3, 2014 (UTC)

RE:Nearly 1000 Edits
thank you, i hoped someone would notice. lego is also almost to 1000, i noticed. hes a little farther away than me though. RisingSun2013 (talk) 12:30, April 3, 2014 (UTC)

New characters discovered in Mayday. Contact 28 is a Cryptid, The Doctor interrogating Dr. Cross, Godfather The CIF Rescue Team's Commander, and a New President of the United States.

Sadly however, there is still no pictures avaliable for them *sigh*

yeah true but they never found an in game pic of Archer. I understand

Images
Could you please start using the lasso tool instead the function you are currently using? Many of the images you're uploading have transparency applied in areas they should not. 10:58, April 7, 2014 (UTC)
 * The two you recently uploaded. You have cut off part of the bottom of the image. This also occurred to another image you uploaded recently. 11:04, April 7, 2014 (UTC)

RE:Rollback
I'm currently discussing it with another user. Once it we've made a decision we'll confirm or deny it. 13:53, April 7, 2014 (UTC)

Nikolai edit
Just so you know, it's a little faulty to undo an edit on the basis that it included a word most users probably don't know. The nature of encyclopedia is to make it as clear-cut and thorough as possible instead of going with the basic vocabulary to conform the users not as fluent with the language, hence why most of Wikipedia's articles sound like gibberish unless you speak English almost natively. This is especially the case when it's either a long bread of text or one slightly advanced word. As goes for the article, I chose not to re-add the part about Nikolai being the tritagonist because claiming many people consider him one is "s" (for instance I don't see him as one). 09:46, April 8, 2014 (UTC)

1.5k
Congratulations on passing the 1,500 edit milestone, Capt. Miller! 10:02, April 11, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Edit
There was text at the beginning and end of the paragraph, viewable in the source edit. The text was  Hope that helped. 03:08, April 12, 2014 (UTC)

Spam
Congratulations on obtaining Rollback Rights! Also, I made the title different to mislead you. Congrats again. 00:55, April 16, 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for thinking that. I'll consider that soon. 01:38, April 16, 2014 (UTC)

Happy Easter
i wanted to say happy easter to you personally through your talk page to you because i dont know if you got to read my blog about wishing everyone a happy easter. so, happy easter! RisingSun2013 (talk) 19:16, April 20, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Chat
I wouldn't mind going into chat at all, as long as stuff like this forum is done. Also, congratulations on 2000 edits! 14:12, April 23, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for fixing the song on the poll. Kept on forgetting to do it. 19:47, April 27, 2014 (UTC)

Custodian
I've granted you Custodian rights per your request. I recommend giving this page a quick read just to see what you should and shouldn't do. 06:25, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * Also, just in case you don't know, the reason why your edit on the wiki skin revamp forum messed everything up (added 125k+ bytes of random code) is because the RichTextEditor occasionally bugs out like that. It wasn't your fault in any way. When you see that happen, just undo it or even revert it if it's heavy for your computer. 06:33, April 28, 2014 (UTC)
 * If you mean the "CUSTODIAN" tag won't appear next to your name in your userpage header the same way it says "BUREAUCRAT" for me, then it's because the proper MediaWiki page hasn't yet been updated. I'll look onto updating it as a whole later today. 08:57, April 28, 2014 (UTC)

Re: MediaWiki page
Yes, that is the page. I updated it, and you're now officially a custodian (no term is official until it literally reads next to your name). 09:31, April 29, 2014 (UTC)

Image deletion or renaming
Earlier today I uploaded images for the Ghosts camo galleries. I accidentaly uploaded about 9 that were weaponname Snow CoDG.png' and was told by Legos Rule 15 that you had the rights to delete them. If you could delete them, that would help me greatly. Vielen Dank. 

RE: Your Edits
It's on the recent changes page, on the template, under the special pages. I'll give you the link. Special:Uncategorizedpages Hope that helps. 03:24, May 2, 2014 (UTC)

Capt. come to chat I need your help.Soap eksiri (talk) 13:45, May 4, 2014 (UTC)

Re:
Although it could help with categories, it should be deleted as its kinda unnecessary. Kinda over-categorization if you would, but the concept for it was good, just unneeded. 15:42, May 4, 2014 (UTC)

I'm sorry. Thanks for filling me in. Obiviously I can't go back and remove what I said in the video but when I make new ones I want ro make sure they aren't in violation. I noticed that in the existing video on this topic, at the 4:08 mark the autor asks for a subscribe, plugs his twitterpage, and his webpage http://youtu.be/z-bcNZISSvc?t=4m8s

I looked at the policies. Is this the part of the guidelines you were talking about? "It is also asked you try not to upload videos with openers or commentators advertising the channel they are uploaded to, as this could be seen as a form of advertising".

CrashPower (talk) 17:24, May 4, 2014 (UTC)

RE:Video
At the end it asks for likes. Falls under the advertising clause. 18:00, May 4, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Categories
Okay, didn't think it would be over-categorization. Since we have categories for Extinction mode, I'd think zombies mode would be necessary, especially when there are so many weapons. I mean really, not every weapon in each game is featured in Zombies, only a few select. 18:26, May 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Still, zombies mode is practically its own game, and should have cats for weapons in it. I just don't see how this would be over-categorizing. It stretches over 3 main games, a couple DS games, and a few iOS, and as such will have a lot of weapons. More, might I say, than any other game alone. 18:36, May 4, 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you for helping with removing the categories. I've cleared the handguns and lethal equipment, so they're ready to be deleted, however, I think the schematics cat should stay, much like how we have a cat for zombies buildables. Thanks again. 04:43, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

congats on the 3000 edits. i dont think ive even reached 2000 yet lol  RisingSun2013 19:35, May 4, 2014 (UTC)

Blog patrol
You're now a part of blog patrol. As a semi-mandatory reminder I should say that please leave a summary of why you delete a comment every time you do, preferably tell the user what they did wrong and obviously, don't abuse it. 14:04, May 5, 2014 (UTC)

I won't remove anything from it but can I remove the other 8 videos I put on here or is that frowned upon?

hey milla,i reiceved a message I about a image block,i didn't know,hmm I don't know that I waz doing, what do I do

Re: RFA
I've closed it and moved it to closed nominations. And don't worry, my first RfA was even more rushed. You're not alone. 09:37, May 7, 2014 (UTC)

Ok miller what do you mean that the rorke picture is copyright?

RE: Chat
If I was to go on now, I'd have to be off in a few minutes. What about tomorrow, around an hour earlier than now? 05:14, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I really can't (also, I was doing something when you sent me the message, so I didn't know if you'd be on or not). I am really tired, and having been up real late the past few days, and need to get some sleep. I have two tests tomorrow, which I need to be rested for. However, I promise I'll be able to chat tomorrow. I hope this works as a compromise. 05:24, May 8, 2014 (UTC)
 * I'll be on for another hour or so, so if you'd like to chat, let me know. Otherwise we can try again tomorrow. 03:44, May 9, 2014 (UTC)
 * You really sent this at the worst time. My friend wants me to play online right now. I've been delaying him for over fifteen minutes now. I can't have him wait any longer. Really sorry. If you could tell me when you'll be on tomorrow, then maybe we can arrange something. Unfortunately, not tonight. 05:24, May 10, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Vandalism Template
Actually, Sam reworked on it, I just sharpened the edges of his edit (metaphorically) a little. Anyway, the change was done. 11:44, May 8, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Images
I'd say VTOLs too, due to the similarity of the front of the vehicle (wider windshield, doors farther to the back), as well as rotors, etc. --Ultimate94ninja (talk) 21:47, May 9, 2014 (UTC)

3500 Edits
Hey Miller. Congratulations on the 3500 edits. I'm sure you'll get to 4000 in a few weeks. Also, as soon as I see you on, I'll join chat. 16:00, May 10, 2014 (UTC)

Re: Sorry
No problem. Your opinion is your opinion. It's okay if you don't think I'm ready, but I think I am. No hard feelings. 02:39, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

CoD: AW weapon category images
I think we should try to avoid categorizing the AW weapon images because the names are likely to be released and changed. I know it's strange to leave a image uncategorized, but not having the name kind of ruins the point. Having them be placed on their pages, or on the Advanced Warfare weapon template with the page would be better since pages can be renamed, categories cannot. Also, a category under "grenade images" would probably go under "CoD: AW Weapon images", as every grenade has a name. 03:01, May 11, 2014 (UTC)

RE: Edit on "Dobule Tap" and RPM:
I can't really understand your comment. The article says precisely that Double Tap "decreases the delay between bullets by one third of the original delay." (In other words, the delay is 2/3rds the original). That is not the same as increasing rate of fire by 33%. One of these statements must be wrong.

Proof: Let T be the delay between shots (in seconds) and r the ratio between the old delay and the new delay after applying Double Tap. Then the new delay is r * T. Rate of fire (in rounds per minute) is given by RPM = 60 / T, which, after Double Tap is applied, gives RPM = 60 / (r * T) = (1 / r) * (60 / T) = (1 / r) * RPM. For Double Tap, the ratio is r = 2/3, or 0.666.... Therefore, the new RPM is given by (1 / r) * RPM = (1 / (2/3)) * RPM = 3/2 * RPM= 1.5 * RPM, or +50%.

Edit Reasons
Please stop leaving edit reasons such as "cite your source or die" which directly threaten other users. Doing so is a gross violation of COD:UTP. 14:43, May 11, 2014 (UTC)
