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,

Hmm, okay. I see your point.

Re: The REAL Chia says hi
Well, I might be a little late to the punch, but, anyway...maybe that poll could work next week? It sounds good. And I figure it's about time that it's your turn. 03:07, January 16, 2010 (UTC)

Something you may like
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.

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)

Who did I call a dipshit
Who did I call that too? Honestly I swear so much on this site, I forget when I swear. Peter Griffen Boy 01:41, January 19, 2010 (UTC) I was going to say how I never directly called him that, but my back button ain't workin'. Peter Griffen Boy 01:55, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

See how you play Runescape. I used to play, like a year ago at least, got bored and stopepd. Used to be a member, but it kind of lost it's point. Peter Griffen Boy 01:56, January 19, 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)

The Gun Pimpers
When will it appear in community groups? It's gotten a lot of artwork, and I personally think it is ready. Peter Griffen Boy 20:17, January 19, 2010 (UTC)

Looking for input...
...On an idea I shamelessly stole from your video channel :P. User:WouldYouKindly/Sandbox, there's only like 5-6 songs on there right now but I just want to see what everyone thinks so far.--WouldYouKindly 03:44, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Haven't decided on one yet. I normally save that part for last because I'm extremely bad at thinking up titles :P. And thanks, I'll keep that in mind if I think of any others I can't do a Wikipedia link to.--WouldYouKindly 05:27, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Lol. (and as a matter of fact we do get W stations here) I was thinking of just having another quote from bioshock (like my username), just because lol "Would You Kindly pick up that Shortwave Radio) or something like that... told you I was bad at it :P--WouldYouKindly 05:36, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

Haha, thanks. I'm trying to toss a little bit of every type of Classic Rock in there. (I love it all, but I know that's not the case with a lot of people so I'm trying to appeal to as many users as possible)--WouldYouKindly 05:58, January 21, 2010 (UTC)

One last question before I turn in for the night. Is there a way to put a refresh button that guarantees (or at least close to it) that a different video will pop up every time the button is hit? Maybe something similar to the one on the DYK box on the front page? Thanks!--WouldYouKindly 06:26, January 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think I figured it out this morning actually, the reason I asked is because Firefox doesn't seem to want to do it automatically for me. If you're curious, the link I used is . Might be useful if you want to put it on your userpage.--WouldYouKindly 05:16, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

Re:RFB
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 guess I can admit defeat. If those policies mean so much to you I don't see why we don't add them here. They make perfect sense to me. 14:05, January 22, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Userpage
Oh, thanks so much for noticing that. Honestly, I just copied the HTML from my Halopedia userpage, but I did a poor job changing the content on the page. Sorry if I had caused any confusion. :P Thanks a ton! --

User hilite
Hello Chiafriend, on my RfB you stated that highlighting certain user's names was a bad idea. I agree but when I stated the COD:AEAE you said that wasn't the reason. What was the reason? 19:02, January 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for the insights. I probably won't try again until CoD7 is released, unless times change. As I stated before we don't particularly need a new 'crat, especially with you as one. So thanks once again. 17:38, January 25, 2010 (UTC)

You may want to take a look at this
I need your input on something: User blog:Peter Griffen Boy/Reasons why I hate Canadians

It's obvious flamebait, but I'm not sure if that's reason enough to delete it. Can you advise? Thanks.--WouldYouKindly 00:36, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Possible Vandalism
User Oblongy - see pages AUG HBAR & Hellhound. I undid AUG HBAR, but it was immediately changed again.

He's also edited Ray Gun, Al-Asad, and TnP's user page. Cpl. Wilding 13:56, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

WTF?!?!
The whole call of duty 4 page has been deleted !!!!!!!

(my tiddles button doesnt work btw)

I figured you might be the right person to ask about this
Seeing as how all of the weapon, perk, and attachment pages are constantly fluctuating in terms of quality, I was wondering if I could somehow write up an official Create-a-Class guide for the wiki, one which only I could edit and would be somewhat heavily publicized by the wiki. Is this at all possible? Imrlybord7 22:04, January 26, 2010 (UTC)

Not so important Characters
Hey! I've been following the Non-important characters in the War Room, and i'd just like to say i 100% agree with you.

You can make an article of everything you stated, and on Wikia you are supposed to make it as specific as possible. 7th Body 20:41, January 28, 2010 (UTC)7th Body
