New video embed tool
Hello! I'm here to tell you about our newest feature: the Video Embed Tool, a tool that allows you to quickly and easily add videos to your wiki via a button on the editing toolbar.

I have posted an announcement at the Forum:New video embed tool, but you may wish to add you own announcements to your community. Thanks for your time! Kirkburn (talk) 20:22, 28 January 2009 (UTC)


 * I poked you cause you were the most recently active admin :) Glad to hear you like it! It's currently live on diablo, fallout, residentevil and here. Kirkburn (talk) 23:17, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

edits
Where do I go to find out how many edits I've made? LordDeathRay 00:49, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Thanks. LordDeathRay 00:56, 29 January 2009 (UTC)

Rollback
Hey Creepy, I have been considering obtaining Rollback privileges. I was wondering what the policy is here. Do I have to open a Request for Rollback or what? Thanks,


 * Ok, thanks


 * Yes, I got rollback thanks for nominating me. It has been quite helpful especially with all the IPs.

RE: Confirm E-mail
I confirmed my email back in 2007. :P. Anyway, if you need to send me an important message, why not just tell me on my talk page like normal? 03:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Community Portal
So, what do you think of rolling the licenses out tonight? Joey -  Talk Contribs 06:43, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Just make it "Template:Copyrighted Media" or something, and be sure to include all aspects of media. Also, I hope you don't mind my flooding of the recent changes? I figured we had too many uncategorized images. Joey -  Talk Contribs 06:49, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Yes, basically something like that. Just pick that up, and bring it over here, but don't forget that we don't have all the same templates transcluded into that template as Wikipedia. So, it may be necessary to rewrite some of it. Joey -  Talk Contribs 06:52, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Ya, I was just checking it out, and it looks good. If you're ready, I will just stop the bot at what it is at, and add the license to everything. Too bad we didn't have the license earlier, but I'll just have to do all the ones I already did before now with this, and I'll stop it so that it won't affect the others. Okay, I'm starting now, be ready for some spam! Joey -  Talk Contribs 07:09, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Heh, ya and just a tip, since I got all my bots edits as minor, just click "Hide Minor Edits" to hide them. Anyways, good luck :) Joey  -  Talk Contribs 07:13, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Great it's running. As you can see, my bot is quite helpful, so if you or anyone else has any repetitive tasks to be done, just leave me a message. ;) Joey  -  Talk Contribs 07:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

A little over a month, and I have instituted it on a few wikis under different names. If I do use it here, we may want a bot flag, but that's just an if. It's great for help in the special pages, so I drift to wikis offering help in that department. Oh, and anytime. Joey -  Talk Contribs 07:21, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Re:Manual of Style
Ya I know, that's why I said we need to make one. If we are just using one from another wiki, then our ideas will just get mixed up. Thanks. Joey -  Talk Contribs 20:16, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

heh, looks like you're having fun. Sorry. Joey -  Talk Contribs 22:52, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Sounds good. I know that the Star Wars Fanon Wiki has a policy in which if you don't add a license within two minutes of uploading, you are blocked for a day and it is deleted. We don't need to be that strict, but that is the general idea. If we had better categoried on the images though, I would have been able to be neater with the license. But now, all we can do is go by hand. Joey -  Talk Contribs 22:59, 1 February 2009 (UTC)

Hey, I was thinking, should we include glitches? There is no Manual of Style, so I didn't know for sure if we should. If we do though, I think it would be important for us to start with the perk glitch, as I know a lot of people that have paid money to learn it, and a page explaining it would be beneficial. Anyways, what do you think? Joey -  Talk Contribs 02:49, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Yeah, we most definitely won't want to be crazy like the policies at SWF. I mean, two minutes and then a day ban? Err, that seems messed up.

Anyway, on the topic of licensing for images, we could just make a policy saying "all images fall under United States Fair Use unless otherwise stated", as many other wikis have done. If an image doesn't fall unser Fair Use, then it would get a template. I love it when images have licensing tags, and I love to encourage the adding of them, but I don't think we should punish people for not applying one. 05:34, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Of course the two minutes and then a day ban is quite harsh, but then again with their traffic, and their 30 000 articles they would get into some real trouble if they had an unlicensed image. There is a lot of things to make licensing easier, it is possible to have a special button that would automatically add the license, I could run my bot on a weekly basis, or we could just encourage all the more "regular users" to license images. If an IP or new user comes in and uploads ten images without the license, I don't think we should ban them, I think we should tell them. If someone uploads a lot and doesn't license after we keep on telling them, then a one day ban would be reasonable. I think that would be straightforward. Joey -  Talk Contribs 05:44, 3 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Basically, the way I look at it is: we HAVE to categorize and license images, just because it is very tedious and annoying to do it afterwards. :( I think we do need strict policies on licensing images, but we should make a very user-friendly environemnt for the uploader.  Maybe we could use Joeyaa's idea and put some convenient buttons up.  Oh, that reminds me, we reallly should get around to those "welcome" buttons that Joeyaa suggested a while ago.  Although I don't really have much idea of how to build something like that, I'm sure Joeyaa or a helper could do it.  I also saw a cool welcome button idea on wiki help where someone made two buttons for welcoming in the little edit bar above the text box.  Maybe we should come up with a list and call in a helper...?   18:51, 3 February 2009 (UTC)

Vandalism
I reverted some vandalism from a 1 time IP offender, here is the offence. Not sure if you want to issue a ban or warning.

i can't play CoD ='[

More Vandals
I am starting to see alot more vandalism then before. Please ban this IP, here is their contribs -


 * Thanks for all your help. I wish I could do it myself but, I am no sysop and don't plan on trying to become one at the moment.

Got another vandal, here is the anon's contribs.

RE: Navigate down the huge page...
Eye heart long talk pages. It shows that people heart you back. :) 19:36, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

Confirmation pl0x
You play the games on your computer, right? Could you either confirm or veto this edit? Well, mainly the part about his nickname being "Willys". 19:44, 6 February 2009 (UTC)

rank
Do you know how to put the rank thing in front of your signature? (for example, I Ross I has the major badge on the left side of his signature.) 'Cause I don't know how to. LordDeathRay 06:11, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

thanks 15:39, 8 February 2009 (UTC)

Let's talk
Would you care to go on IRC now, join the CoD channel (or even ##Joeyaa :P), and talk about a few things that I want to extend upon. We could do this now, or later whenever you or some of the other admins want to look over some ideas and directions for this wiki. Thanks. Joey -  Talk Contribs 01:45, 10 February 2009 (UTC)


 * I'll stay on. Join ##Joeyaa, and ping me. Or even #Wikia and pm me, either work. Feel free to invite others from this wiki as well. I'll go on as soon as you respond to this message. Joey  -  Talk Contribs 00:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh and I got word from callofduty.com that they are releasing the following:

Just as a little preparation time, be ready for the wave of editors adding content to these, as well as the fact that we will need to make the pages and add content to them. The release date was stated to be some time in March of 09, so we have lots of time. Joey -  Talk Contribs 01:01, 11 February 2009 (UTC)
 * 3 Multiplayer maps: Nightfire, Station, Knee Deep
 * 1 Nazi Zombie level: Verrückt (Zombie Asylum)

You probably want to get a better client, but just go now then. Like right now, now. Lol, let's go. Joey -  Talk Contribs 05:16, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Creepydude i need your help
Creepydude i have been blocked on Wookieepedia can you your help --Tipper45 18:55, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

he blocked me because i was editing my page

ok but he has blocked me until the 22 of feb

it could be LtNOWIS or Grunny or Toprawa and Ralltiir

can you help me

have you stopped the block on Wookieepedia

can you stop the block on Wookieepedia

About Stopping Power
Yes, it increases all bullet damage by 40%. However, I am correct in asserting that it is more useful on weapons with a low ROF because in almost all situations this means one less bullet for kill. One less bullet means a lot for a weapon with a low ROF, but not much for a weapon with a high ROF. In fact, it has almost no noticeable effect on the PPSh-41 unless you are playing Hardcore (it is one of the only guns that truly benefits from Stopping Power in Hardcore). Imrlybord7 19:10, 10 February 2009 (UTC)

rank and starting a new character
how do i get tah little rank insignia next to my name cause ive counted atleast 84 edits and nothing happened :( And how do i start a new character page?

ERyan 11:26, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

i know who it is who blocked me
it was Toprawa and Ralltiir who blocked me

new maps?!?!?
Did treyarch describe the new maps or give us names or anything? I hope they dont make more maps like seelow, i hate that map. BR Ninja15 19:21, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, Station sounds fun. If its like the subway part from the campaign matches are going to be fun and fast-paced. BR Ninja15 20:22, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

Making pages is hard...i made the stub for Nightfire but someone who can actually use wikia should fix it up a bit. BR Ninja15 20:54, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

They announced a map pack, containing nightfire, knee deep, and station(3 multiplayer maps), and also Verruckt, a new Nazi Zombies map Zaknafein77 21:41, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

HELP
Rs4life07 has gone is mad he is going blocked me

The errors and such
Hmm, looks like something that will need to get fixed. I'll look through them and try to find what the common problem is, that should work. If you need to discuss this or anything else more, IRC is always open.. Joey -  Talk Contribs 23:35, 11 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Uhm.. categories, manual of style; policies, and I forget the other one. I'm sure we'll figure it out again. Heh, oh, and I'm waiting. Joey  -  Talk Contribs 23:53, 11 February 2009 (UTC)

IRC
Hey Creepy, glad to see you're informing the community on important issues, I will vote in the RfA later this week, probably will be a Support but, I might find evidence to change my mind, we will see... Anyway, its very late here and my other wiki got vandalized so I have been spending most of my time figuring out the situation and thanking the people who handled it while I was away. See you later,


 * Have you considered adding the RfA to the site notice or will that attract to many sock puppets. =)


 * Can you go on IRC now? Joey  -  Talk Contribs 23:21, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Nice work with Main Page
Nice work with the Main Page, I really like the colours you have chosen. However I put the top part back to the side as it fits better around the adverts.

HeadShot 19:44, 13 February 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Hey, man. Thanks for the edit you made on the article I created - 62nd Rifle Division - Just came to say thanks...

JKdap 19:01, 15 February 2009 (GMT)

Hmm...
Everyone is on IRC at the moment... Joey -  Talk Contribs 03:08, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

Are you on? Joey -  Talk Contribs 06:43, 16 February 2009 (UTC)


 * It appears that everybody, or at least everybody has voted on my RfA, so what should I do now? I would need at least three users to oppose if I was to not be accepted, and I doubt there are three more users here that will vote; not to mention oppose. So, what do you think? Joey  -  Talk Contribs 07:49, 16 February 2009 (UTC)

RfA
I probably would move the small, off topic conversation somewhere as it confused me. And I wouldn't say the whole community has voted on the RfA yet (Chia hasn't). Also, isn't there supposed to be a section underneath the nomination stating that Joey accepts the request and that he understands what he has to do. Its written in italics?


 * Thanks, --I Ross I 02:36, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually I did know but thanks for the info on how to do, the only problem I see is when I edit different wikis and I don't have a custom sig created there and it just looks stupid when I sign. Thanks anyway, --I Ross I 02:44, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Re: Little gift for you...
I feel as an admin and crat on two other wikis that you do a much better job than I do. How do you know these things? Is there a manual that I need to read? Lolz, thanks it will make my life a small bit easier. =) 03:06, 17 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Excellent, will do. 04:00, 17 February 2009 (UTC)

Joeyaa's RFA
I think we should close Joeyaa's RFA early. Everyone except Chia pretty much has voted and even if Chia were to vote oppose he still would have 80% consensus. It would help to speed things up. What do you think?--Bigm2793 00:34, 18 February 2009 (UTC)

I agree but I don't think we should hold back progress for one user. He has had 8 days to vote now and we need Joey sysoped as part of the plan if I'm not mistaken so I say if there is no vote in by 0:00 my time (eastern) that we should sysop Joey 10:29, 19 February 2009 (UTC)

Some things

 * 1) Special:ProblemReports/18802. I'm not into airplanes, so I don't know if Tom is right or wrong. I'm assuming he's right, but something like that would need confirmation.
 * 2) In the opening cutscene at the beginning of Aftermath, there's a list that comes up that seems to show a list of people caught in the nuclear blast, being KIA or MIA. If you could take a screenshot of that, that could be, like, 50 new articles right there :). 22:12, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Alrighty. I will. :) 02:08, 20 February 2009 (UTC)

Inactivity
Hey Creepy, I'm going to be away for the weekend so I probably won't be editing. Also, I don't know if you have noticed but there has been a flood of new users and I think it is because of all the welcoming we have been doing. I think that you are definitively a big reason for all the new users with that welcome button you created. So just wanted to tell you good job. See ya, 22:49, 19 February 2009 (UTC)
 * Or because I put a recruitment advert on the anonnotice. Everyone who isn't logged in will see a message saying "Tired of seeing the annoying advertisements? Make an account today!" :). I'm just glad to see that we might just get an active userbase of something higher than six. 23:26, 19 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Lolz, have a good vacation. Also, I need you to delete that wiki specific sig button you made as I have 2 now since I created the global one. 02:31, 20 February 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Also, you might want to remove the link to the CoD Wiki:Ranks page from your sig because it has been deleted. =( 21:00, 23 February 2009 (UTC)

Irc?
Whenever you can, you should go on... Joey -  Talk Contribs 05:58, 1 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry to hear it. Oh, we could discuss the list and stuff like that... Anytime would be great. Joey  -  Talk Contribs 23:42, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

hi
hello Ozzie 1 10:59, 1 March 2009 (UTC)

Thumb
Can I ask how you broke your thumb? 02:38, 3 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Nice, How long will it be until its completely healed? 16:24, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

omg
Omg that sucks, do you have any games that dont require any dexterity? I played Fable 2 when my thumb was full of pus, it was fun but not being able to shoot people sucked. BR Ninja15 13:54, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

What the??
What happened to Call of Duty Wiki:Ranks?

Welc addition
By the way, I've made it on the welc templates so that if you don't add your sig template as a second parameter it will sign for you by default (just four tildes). Hope that helps! Joey -  Talk Contribs 05:33, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Ya, I've seen it (Bigm needed help with his :P) but I don't think I'd use them (I prefer copy and paste the line). Thanks though. Joey  -  Talk Contribs 14:54, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * What? As far as I can see the tags are working fine...? Joey  -  Talk Contribs 15:00, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Probably came from the update, by the way, come back to IRC land. Joey  -  Talk Contribs 15:05, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Yes, why are you such a noob :) Joey  -  Talk Contribs 15:09, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh noes! I'll call in my sockpuppet SuperFlash to the rescue! You'll never catch me! Joey  -  Talk Contribs 15:17, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * With all my millions of socks they all probably know it off by heart! You'll never stop me XD!!!! Joey  -  Talk Contribs 15:22, 12 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Umm, no. Go make yourself handy and clean the Special pages or something; you have too much free time.  Joey  -  Talk Contribs 15:27, 12 March 2009 (UTC)

Ban this IP

Did you die?
Cuz me and Joey think you did-- 02:24, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Yay!-- 15:03, 31 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Oh, wow. :O Joey  -  Talk Contribs 18:25, 4 April 2009 (UTC)

Ohaithar
I was honestly starting to wonder if you were ever coming back. :P 05:40, 5 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Well, you missed a discussion where personal images were decided to be allowed, another discussion where 50 edits would be needed to vote on any other community discussions, yet another discussion where it was decided that the Nazi Zombies levels would not apply to the main storyline (this was meant to stop people from posting all of their theories in attempts to make the happenings in Nazi Zombies make sense), but not much else when it comes to important wiki things.
 * When it comes to content releases, you missed the releases of Shi No Numa and multiple trailers for Modern Warfare 2, which sparked heavy editing in both areas.
 * Wouldn't forgetting about the good ol' Wiki be the equivalent of going AWOL? Tsk tsk. 05:10, 6 July 2009 (UTC)

An IP just vandalised the Ray Gun page.
Can you block and/or revert the edit?  Outlaw 2-5

Lt. Zoom?
In the possible picture of Makarov, it says on the Kevlar armor "Lt. Zoom" and on the bottom it says "Lt. Zoom, HGM."

Should I add a page for him and get rid of the picture of him on Makarov's page?  Outlaw 2-5

I added the page. If you could make it so users can edit only, that would be excellent.  Outlaw 2-5

Thanks for that.  Outlaw 2-5

Reply to warning
I was already blocked by BigM2793 for that and a bunch of other stuff. See above on my talk page for that. Blocking me again would be unreasonable. I understand why you would give me a warning, though.

Believe me, that won't happen again. I've learnt from my mistakes. Thanks,


 * Community service, eh? Good idea. Sure, why not. I've already started to welcome new users. I'd be glad to help out with that.

Hey, just to let you know when i said it was "all over the shop" i wasn't implying that admins and others were doing a bad job, just that there are too many fans out there wanting to make a difference, and although they intend good they sometimes just mix things up.
