Recent video
While your recent upload did show off the mission, the fact you were using console commands to remove the HUD and give yourself God mode means its not a very good showcase of the mission. Simply rushing though the level without taking damage does not show much to viewers. 14:36, January 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Again. Please do not upload videos where you have used console commands to cheat. We only want vanilla gameplay videos. 14:32, February 13, 2016 (UTC)

Don't delete discussions
Hello, NotLessOrEqual. 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!

Image Naming and Licensing
when naming images, please put the game initials at the end of the file name, before the file extension (example: [File Name]_[Game Initials].[File Extension]). also, please remember to license your images; for info on how to do this, please see COD:FILE. thank you. 22:17, May 15, 2016 (UTC)

Regarding your recent images
Hey, thanks for helping out with the recent FAMAS images, but regarding the images for attachments, etc., we'd rather have images showing the weapon without other customizations such as camo and emblem. Among your images, I only kept the ones for the stuff that was missing (such as Masterkey) and the ones that were replacing lower quality ones, while I removed the remaining ones. And regarding the naming, the games's initials should be at the end of the file name (e.g. File:Famas Flamethrower BO.png). 10:48, May 21, 2016 (UTC)

Black Ops Intel main articles
Since Black Op's Intel collectibles actually contain content such as backstory and further detail, I am aiming to create one for every campaign level. I have already started on the first one: http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Operation_40/Intel

Tell me what you think of it. If it is good, I'll go ahead and create the rest.

Small Images
Hey I've notice you've been changing the images a bit. Your work is well appreciated, but next time please don't make them too small, so that they can be easier to see when taking a closer look. Thanks. 20:01, May 30, 2016 (UTC)

CoDO weapons images
Out of interest, where are you getting your recent images of Online weapons from? Although they are good quality, they are shown at a kind of awkward angle, and we'd prefer to have them showing the actual side of the weapon. 11:41, May 31, 2016 (UTC)

Hello. I got my CoD Online images straight from the game's create a class itself. I had it cut on photoshop then placed it. As for the "Odd angle" I am replicating the image in an angle the same way the game developers created for Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 (and Modern Warfare 3) Multiplayer. here is an example: http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/M4A1

Look at the angle the Devs placed the images for each weapons of MW3 and MW2. I am just trying to follow the established convention they already laid out.

So now all weapons (including some Black Ops 1 weapon sprites) all look similar in fashion (except BO2). Fun fact: CoDoL and MW2 use the same game engine (but not the MW3 version)

NotLessOrEqual (talk) 11:49, May 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * So there isn't any way for you to get images showing the weapon's side like this? Given the possibility of rotating the weapon in the create-a-class (unlike MW2, MW3 and the others), we'd rather you upload images like this if possible. 11:58, May 31, 2016 (UTC)


 * If you like them that way, its fine by me, you can revert it if required. Also, please note that the U.I and Heads Up Display in the game cannot be disabled and thus it will be difficult to grab the image from Create-A-Class without parts of the U.I (Chinese letters/letterbox) obstructing parts of the weapon.
 * Actually, almost all of your weapons images are fine, aside from the angle of some of them (though I agree that it might be difficult to get side images without the letterbox obscuring the weapon). Thus, I kept most of them but moved them to the appropriate locations (such as attachments/camouflage subpages, and gallery showing another angle of the weapon, etc.). 13:41, May 31, 2016 (UTC)

Reporting users
A user has recently claimed that you reported a user for vandalism. I need to enquire if this is true, as if it is you need to report such issues to sysops on this Wiki and not to members off-wiki as they have no power to give out warnings to users. If this isn't the case please let me know, as it would seem other users are invoking your name in order to harass other users. Thanks. 21:34, May 31, 2016 (UTC)
 * For the record, I actually need a response to the above. If you didn't try to report users to another user on another wiki than it's fine and someone is attempting to use your name for no good reason. However if you remain silent, leading me only to assumptions, then there will be issues. 16:54, June 4, 2016 (UTC)


 * I dont know what this is all about, I didn't report anyone for anything. Is there a link to this ongoing issue which I have no idea about?NotLessOrEqual (talk) 01:57, June 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * A user recently claim in an edit that you had reported Ultimate to them. However from your reaction I have reason that you didn't and that this user has tried to invoke your name for no reason. 11:50, June 5, 2016 (UTC)

Images
your images are appreciated, but again, when naming images, please put the game initials at the end of the file name, before the file extension; and please remember to license your images. if your having trouble understanding what i mean about these things, please contact an active custodian or admin. thank you. 00:25, June 9, 2016 (UTC)

Probably forgot. Thanks for reminding NotLessOrEqual (talk) 03:24, June 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * oh ok, no problem. 05:34, June 12, 2016 (UTC)

Video Uploads
Hey a few of your recent videos you uploaded already existed on the wiki. Next time check if a video already is existent on the wiki before uploading it, because creating duplicates only serve to mess up a video's file history, nor do they add any significant improvements. Thanks. 21:03, June 10, 2016 (UTC)

AfM/AfD
Go there in order to nominate a page for merging or deletion. You might want to check one of the examples (active/archived nominations) in order to it properly. 07:24, July 28, 2016 (UTC)

Did I do it right? http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Call_of_Duty_Wiki:Articles_for_Deletion/http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Airstrike

This seems very complicated. I am ranked trusted user in Battlefield Wikia which gives me special admin abilities so over there I just simply delete and redirect but I cannot here since I have no rank yet. If it didnt work, can you do it for me? Or teach me?

NotLessOrEqual (talk) 08:22, July 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * You need to vote for either simply deleting the page or merging it, not both. You also need to write a short summary to explain why do you vote split/deletion. See any existing AfD for a base model. 08:56, July 28, 2016 (UTC)


 * Thank you for answering. Did I do it right this time? http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Call_of_Duty_Wiki:Articles_for_Deletion/Airstrike I think I dod. Raining Pain seemed to have added the merge template back onto the page so I think i did it right. He has not said anything to me personally yet.
 * I did a bit of cleanup to put it in the right format. Now it looks (more or less) right. 11:24, July 28, 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much. Ill now copy this for whatever other stuff which needs merging, I know what to do now. Have a nice day!

Console command weapons list
'Sup buddy, it's appreciated that you're trying to help build the wiki, but lists of console commands for weapons are not needed at all for the campaign levels articles. Such commands only belong to the weapons pages themselves, and simply the base weapon, not the commands such as "masada_reflex", etc. 10:13, August 5, 2016 (UTC)

I understand that but be aware that for certain levels have different weapon combinations scattered throughout the map, some weapons can be spawned but others are not depending on the mission (either because it is there or not there). It would prove beneficial for people to know what weapons are available for that map without having to search the entire internet for a list.

Also each weapon the campaign also have the same type only with different attachments available, so players would be better informed of this. Hope you can reconsider and have it reverted. As I said earlier, it shoudl only apply to older games where console commands are available for use.

NotLessOrEqual (talk) 10:18, August 5, 2016 (UTC)
 * That's how campaign pages on this wiki work, we don't put lists of weapons console commands on them (not to mention that players who are into modding obviously have their ways to get the names on their own). Such additions would be a major change for the formatting of campaign pages (even if it doesn't apply to later games), so I suggest that you bring this topic to a forum if you want to add these. 10:24, August 5, 2016 (UTC)


 * Ugh, fine, whatever. I suggested to do this because the CoD wikia is a reliable source and by putting the command names here it would all be in one place without people having to go off to different sources to find them which would prove time consuming. Also, its not that much of a major change in format, its just one small collapsible box underneath weapons lists WHERE IT IS EXPECTED to be. I can probably find similar ones for games which are from CoD 1 all the way up to CoD Black Ops but I wont be able to further up than that thanks to Activison. I find this a very beneficial if not minor addition to the wikia. I even went out of my way create the Intel pages of Black Ops due to many character and level info lacks proper sources. It is a major change and addition to the CoD wikia, I did this without permission or discussion on the forums and I got away with it good. So something as small but very beenficial such as a console commands weapons list for older games shouldnt create that much of an impact. I do hope you can be reasonable and reconsider your position.
