Edit summaries
Hi, it looks like your edits are quite good, but I would, and I'm sure most other users on this wiki would, prefer that you keep swearing out of edit summaries. Edit summaries should merely give an indication of what has been changed. Wjxhuang, the 888th Avatar  {Talk} 05:59, 29 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually I disagree, you gave me a laugh, and as long as you do that without pissing a few n00bs off, then I'm okay. 06:16, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Well, thank you. AND it was in the process of doing a great service to this wiki, so, we're even. That service being turning every wrong into a right in terms of when to use the word "clip".


 * Yah, to recap, thanks for fixing those errors, but it would be better if you would keep cussing out of the edit descriptions. It's not a rule written in stone, but it's a good thing to not do it. :\  It's more important to just be respectful of other users.  Later,  17:15, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

I was pretty infuriated at the time from seeing so much ignorance in one place. I probably could have controlled myself better, yes, but I can barely hit the right keys when I'm that upset. Seriously, it takes me a lot longer to type while angry. So, you might understand why I was swearing then if you knew me better. I'll clean it up more in the future. ;) Maybe When I finally get around to making that article titled "Clip" it will make some difference. It wouldn't completely stop people, but it might help. Akyoyo 04:11, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Warning
I may not be an admin, but by writing what you did here could get you banned. I, for one, know that, because I was banned for writing something just like that. Let an admin sort something like that out.

I understand why you would write that, just don't take any chances!

Thanks for the tip!


 * sure, no problem. I just don't want you to get banned.   Callofduty4   Talk 01:11, 31 July 2009 (UTC) 01:28, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, i sorta read up on what happened with you. Our type of people need to stick together. Too bad what happened to you kept you from being user of the month, sorry about that. Maybe you just need to be nominated again soon. :D I'd be happy to do the honors. Oh, and, of course you would have no way of knowing, but I used your signature as a basis for making mine, so, uh, thanks, 'cause I never would have gotten it right myself (or it would just take a while).   Akyoyo    Talk  01:55, 31 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Not being user of the month does not really bother me this month, because I think Cod1, the current user of the month, whom I nominated, deserved it more than me. And regarding your signature, there was no problem with you using my basis, and it looks quite nice. Well done!

Quotes pages
Actually, I've been thinking, it might be better to keep the quotes pages seperate for Der Riese and Shi No Numa for now, I'll start making a Der Riese quotes page though. The reason I think this is that the Shi No Numa/quotes page is already enormous, if it gets much bigger it'll start to look like a disorganized mess, so it might be better to just have a seperate similarly styled page for Der Reise WouldYouKindly 19:40, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

All right. Finished! Check it out and feel free to make additions if there's anything from the trailer that I missed: Der Riese/quotes WouldYouKindly 20:20, 5 August 2009 (UTC)

Personally I think we should just keep the two quotes pages seperate. If the Shi No Numa quotes page gets much bigger it'll just turn into a confusing mess. Having two seperate articles for the seperate maps will help keep the quotes organized and save unnecessary confusion. WouldYouKindly 01:28, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah that sounds good, keep me posted WouldYouKindly 03:36, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Yeah I have the map pack, I downloaded it when I got home from work today and I've been playing Der Riese on single player for a couple hours to round out Dempsey's quote list as much as possible. I'm going to play a bunch of multiplayer games this weekend to round out the others' lists. WouldYouKindly 03:07, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

I havent been able to get far enough to get the pack-a-punch machine working yet, but I'm pretty sure the upgraded colt is called the "C-3000 B1AT CH35" and it turns into a grenade launcher (ps, read that name in "1337" speak, a nice subtle joke from Treyarch :P) WouldYouKindly 19:45, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

UPDATE: I just got it in a Der Riese game, it fires grenades that explode on impact and have a slight arc, you have to be very careful at close range for obvious reasons, but other than that, it is one of the best (and most fun) weapons in Der Riese and may provide a reason not to throw away the M1911 for another weapon WouldYouKindly 03:46, 8 August 2009 (UTC)

The page looks pretty good, check it out on my talk page, I revised a couple things and fixed a couple typos/mistakes, if we both like the look then all we need is an admin's permission to merge the pages and we'll be good to go WouldYouKindly 19:44, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

Clip to Mag
Well, I've been looking through a lot of these weapon articles and have noticed some of the errors. I do consider myself to be pretty knowledgeable in discerning the difference between clip/magazine, so yeah, I did go through some articles to find any mistakes. Oh, and I'd be willing to go through and fix any clip/magazine mistakes if you want the help. Herr Kaese 04:10, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

M1911 pack-a-punch?
Can you upgrade the M1911 in the pack-a-punch machine ? 21:48, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

Re
Yes I can do any deletions necessary but I would suggest not merging all the page as it would be immense and length and would create lag for users with bad computers/internet connections.-- 14:53, 11 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I'm not positive but you could try hide tags., -- 22:02, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

K i'll go ahead and delete the "example page" from my talk page then, I'll keep it in a notepad document though just in case. WouldYouKindly 23:00, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Word to the Wise
Aww but I like the pretty colorz :P. In all seriousness though, thanks for the tip, I might just update it every few days or something to compensate. WouldYouKindly 23:28, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
I rolled back your edits to the CoD2 weapon navbox. The weapons categories correspond with the multiplayer classes; ie the Support section corresponds with the weapons the Support class uses. I feel that this makes it much easier to see what class used what certain weapon and it fits with how the game categorizes the weapons. Darkman 4 06:04, 12 August 2009 (UTC)

Hey
I'm also a stickler on the whole clip - magazine thing. Not so much on the bullets to cartridges thing, but I still correct when I notice. However, rounds is a correct term as round refers to the whole cartridge, not just the bullet.

Bigger letters
No, it's not just you.

Whenever a page has a link that would take you to the page you're already on, the text is automatically bolded instead. For example, the link "User talk:Akyoyo" comes out bolded when it's on this page.

Also, your great uncle was a member of the 101st in World War II? Man, that had to take some real guts. From books I've read, they were told that if they chose to volunteer to fight an experimental kind of warfare which involved them jumping out of planes, they'd get twice as much monthly pay. And to boot, they took heavy casualties. It must've been a miracle that he made it through the whole war. 08:05, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I like to wait until I have 101 subsections so that I can make an archive out of the first hundred. 22:19, 13 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Will do. Since he has only made two edits so far, I doubt it will come down to a block. But if needed, I will provide. 02:18, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Awesome Sig
Thanks, I got the idea from a guy I hate. 14:59, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

No, It's an admin on Halopedia, Unluckily for me. 15:04, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Exactly. I'd be surprised if a Halo admin came on the CoD wiki and vice-versa. 15:27, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Lol, everyone is using BigM's basis. It's a great basis, though. You and Joem have great signatures.

Thanks, CoD4. I wonder if I'll flip-flop and pick yet another signature :P Oh, and yours still looks cool, I love the color combo.


 * CommanderTony's contributions, Halopedia bureaucurat.
 * RelentlessRecusant's contributions, Halopedia bureaucrat.
 * Spirit-of-HALO's contribuions, Halopedia administrative candidate.
 * My contributions over on Halopedia.
 * Go ahead. Be surprised. :P
 * So, if I'm one of the select few who didn't base their signature off of someone else's, does that make me special? 22:19, 13 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Jesus I thought I got away from them... 03:39, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

WoW QA
Dude what up!!!!!!!!!!!--67.54.176.39 16:16, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

You deleted my question and i really needed an answer, maybe you could give me an answer.--Wikiwikiwikiwikioldschool 19:05, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

SS
Holy shit, I'll remove it immediately. Sorry. WILL NEVER HAPPEN AGAIN.


 * No, I'm not a neo-nazi. Please don't take me as one. Sorry.

aww, i really wanted the SS insignia in my sig =(. I'm thinking of putting it back in. If you will be offended, tell me, and I won't. If I do, I don't mean any offense to you or your family.

If one puts aside all of the murdering and other crap like that, Germany is my favorite faction of WW2.


 * Ehh, forget about it. I understand why you would say that. I'm sorry if I did offend you, I didn't mean to offend you.

A few questions
Have you ever heard of hex editing? It is a system of hacking into the data files which can change almost anything you want like taking things out of the game, giving anyone you want weapons or putting things in the game. It can only be done on the PC though. And, why does almost everyone here have a army abbreviation before their username, is it a way to show they are on the Call of Duty Wiki Staff.

Re
That's odd, I don't remember doing it, but I'll certainly try to stop. Thanks for telling me. Cpl. Wilding 20:59, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

User Badge
yeah, they suck. I just have mine on for the heck of it.


 * Thanks a lot About those, it doesn't make me an admin or anything. It just allows me to easily rollback irrelevant edits/vandalism. Please don't treat me any differently. I have no authority over you, so don't worry or anything.


 * Wow, thanks a lot, that means a lot to me. I probably won't run for admin for a long time, if I do, the earliest I will is Christmas, as it will mark 1 year of me being with this Wiki.

No, I am interested. I would be honoured to become an admin. Just not now. The reason is on my User Page. I would love to see you as an admin someday, I have seen your outstanding skill and potential. I might nominate you for user of the month. Let's see.

You need a large edit count to be an admin. like 1000+. I gotta go sleep now, it's 11pm where I am. It was nice talking. Seeya around!!

That is the exact Iron Cross I used, you just can't see all the detail because I shrank it to 50px-- 22:39, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

MU113RS
He's not a vandal; he's just stupid and thinks that it's okay to put dumb info back on a page that was just removed. Darkman 4 00:28, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Info requested
Anyone is allowed to archive a talk page, but it just happens that admins tend to know what they're doing more often than not. If it's a talk page for an article, it's best not to archive it if you either don't know how, or don't know when to. If it's your usertalk page, then you should do it yourself when you start to think that it's getting a bit long (which, for me, is around 100 headers :)). If you don't know how in that case, it'd be good to ask. 20:36, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

User of The Month
Hey, I nominated you for UOTM. See here. Good luck!!


 * NO, please don't nominate me. I don't want to go head to head with you. Also, if you do, it would look like we were collaborating. Oh, by the way, you can't actually nominate yourself for UOTM. So, anyway, good luck!

Oh, ok. Well, I hope the nomination is successful, it would be great to see your name on the main page!

Thanks for the greeting
Thanks! Yeah, over the course of the past several weeks, I've been privy to some awesome plot information, most of which is definitely super-secret unfortunately... but for the stuff that has been already released, I'll edit it as I see it. For the most part the character pages aren't bad, it's just that Richtofen's is obviously the one people get the most confused about. --Nacthofen 06:35, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

LOL, sorry, unfortunately we're also in the dark about MW2 as well, which is actually very frustrating because it would make sense for IW to tell us what will be in there to avoid any overlapping stuff... but oh well. --Nachtofen 07:04, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:
No problem!-- 23:49, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: About: Stuff (What a vague title!)
As you've probably noticed, I have never said anything in the array of Richtofen-Edward merging discussions. So, yes, I am probably misinformed :P. What I gathered was that Nachtofen presented evidence, some discussion happened, and then people ended up what I saw as asking Bigm for permission for the move. If it was really about deletion, you could just tag the Edward article with Template:Sdelete, or preferably just redirect it to the article it was merged into. That way, you don't have a bunch of redlinks to the article you just deleted, and they instead take you to the merged result.

[(Randomly reads part of your userpage.)]

And yes, the first level in Aachen is hard--well, at first, at least. Back when I first got Finest Hour nearly five years ago, it was about two weeks of time from when I unlocked the level to when I beat it. Just a secret between you, me, and anyone else who reads this, but you know that "Rickerson" guy who gets killed at the beginning? Yeah, well, I've been procrastinating about making an article on him. Just don't tell anyone, m'kay? :3 05:47, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
 * But it's just between you and me... right? No one else will ever know! :D 05:53, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

CoD: UO
I know how you feel on the 1st American level, man. It's so freaking hard it's almost like you HAVE to cheat in order to pass it. I've found the best way to pass it is when you grab the Browning, just forget about the trench and GET OUT. Deploy the Browning a bit behind the trench and you usually pass. Just thought I'd give ya a tip on it, sounds like you're stuck. Cpl. Wilding 11:55, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

SgtM of the army
Hey, instead of the other insignia on your sig, why not use the SGTM of the army one? here it is:

If you want, you can put it at the top right corner of your page: just copy and paste this code to the top of your user page:

Enjoy!

Re:User of the Month vote
No problem, i'm surprised that no one nominated you sooner. 16:22, 23 August 2009 (UTC)

SMA
Sure, no problem. It would look pretty cool at the top of your page.

Edward Richtofen
Is there some way we can get a lock on Richtofen's page? People have been editing out all references to Edward, and Nachtofen has been working around the clock (from what I can tell) to fix it. It doesn't make much sense to keep editing the page over and over to fix one thing people are confused about. Cpl. Wilding 02:16, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for your appreciation, Akyoyo. I don't own many CoD games, and weapons and cartridges are some of the best things I know.   Maj.Gage   Talk . 13:58, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Desperado and RE: Richtofen
I hardly ever use my email, so I don't give it out. Sorry.

Bigm already protected it before I got on. I'll add a hidden note next to "Edward" to deter people from removing it. 20:02, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks again
Thanks for support, I deeply appreciate it. You are also doing a great job.   Maj.Gage   Talk . 22:31, 24 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Gunsmithing
I haven't had the job for long but so far, I love it. I work at my uncle's gun shop. I mostly work with repairs and modifications, and I prefer to work with handguns. If you have been or are planning to serve in the Army, it's definitely a great job to consider. My uncle was a Marine, and he just couldn't give up the shooter's lifestyle. As for who it's for, I do it for anyone who's got the money and passes the background check. If you want to be a gunsmith while serving, the Army does employ Small Arms Repairmen. Machinist skills are good to have, and depending on what exact path you choose, attention to detail is a good thing. All in all, it's a really fun job. Feel free to message me with any more questions about the job! SaintofLosAngelesXD(m) 07:01, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

The 101st is a great option, my grandfather and best friend's dad served in it as well. Anyway, happy to help a great contributor such as yourself, and hey, without America's Military Blunders, we'd have no Call of Duty. And I'm not sure I want to live in that world. Good luck in the Army, whatever path you choose! (interesting story about your uncle by the way!)SaintofLosAngelesXD(m) 07:31, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

Another warning
Hi there. Please do not do what you did here again. All vandals are welcome to come back. if they edit properly. That's how I got banned, so I'm telling you this so you don't get banned and get your UOTM nomination screwed up like I did.

I'm just saying this so you don't get banned. I hope I'm not being mean/strict or acting like an admin, because that's what I'm not trying to do. I'm just trying to give you some advice. Anyway, this doesn't mean I don't agree with what you wrote ;)

Seeya around!

Signature
I've been wondering for a while how you make a custom signature such as yours. Could you fill me in? Thanks!

Re : argh Blargh mhf9uwehf
Oh whatever. Forget what I said. Let's not fall out here. Cpl. Callofduty4 20:51, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

Wow, thanks a lot! It means a lot coming from the (probable) user of the month. --Cpl. Callofduty4 07:23, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

No, not bureaucrat. Only sysop. So, once again, thank you very much. --Cpl. Callofduty4 07:31, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

Lol, I guess you are September's user of the month. Unless something magical and tragic happened. Anyway, another thank you. --Cpl. Callofduty4 07:36, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: You should be a professional comic.
Thank you, but I was just using it for a War Room proposal. I was hoping no one would see it until I submitted the proposal, so bah to you, good sir! 03:35, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

"ADS" as in "AIDS", or as in "Aim Down Sights"? If you do make an article, it should be titled as the whole name, not an acronym. I'd say to go ahead. 04:43, 30 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Personally, I call refer to them as "iron sights". 05:15, 30 August 2009 (UTC)

UOTM
I've closed the nomination. We are now proud to call you the official User of The month. Congratulations!

You have truly earned this honor. I will change the template later today. All the best.


 * Sure, we were all happy to support. Regarding the admin thing, it's OK, I think that we do have enough admins at the moment. I don't think I will be able to change the template :(, because the server time is like 6 hours behind my time. But if I can, I will. if no one has done it by tomorrow, I definitely will. --Cpl.

Thanks for making me laugh today with your comments. I can honestly say reading your comments on my whining in NDU's talk page was the best laugh I've had in a while. Cpl. Wilding 02:52, September 3, 2009 (UTC)

Userbox
Nice one. I would like to see an increase in the number of userboxes we have on this wiki. Userboxes can be fun, and very informative. they van help give other editors an idea of how experienced you are in CoD and the wiki itself. Have yopu seen the userboxes I've made?

I have safari (which sucks imo). My edit count will give me a pretty good idea of how many users i've welcomed.
