User talk:Poketape

RfA, and Welcome Templates
First off, I'm first :o But more importantly, I wanted to ask about RfAs in general (mostly, and to remind you of your neutral on Grievers RfA that you might want to switch to a position). I was wondering, at the end of an RfA, who decides that when the user gets his Adminship, and how does the actual process work in the user gaining adminship?

I would also like to create a Shadow-Company User Welcome Template, or possibly an SAS one, would this be something I ask permission for or can I go ahead and do it?  "Master Kenobi Good editing. 00:46, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

I tried to give him some advice and he responds by vandalizing my talk page, and by vandalizing his own with a "Protected from Darthkenobi0". Thanks.  "Master Kenobi Good editing. 19:35, March 27, 2010 (UTC)

Notice
Okay I'm not sure if you were on but PGB got blocked for personal attacks, ask Bovell, Darkman and Doc.Richtofen. Three admins supported his block, for personal attacks against myself (see my talk page) and against Griever (he started a flame war with it). So about four of us are defending Griever, and telling PGB exactly why Griever said that PGB was being unwarrantedly arrogant, so he just goes off. Minutes ago Callofduty4 unblocked PGB with no good reasoning, on the basis that PGB gave him some pitiful argument about how he was bullied. This is really worrying me, when Admins are suddenly disagreeing about such an obvious incident. I mean, PGB was making serious insults to all of us, and Callofduty4's decision is worrying me. I hope you don't think I'm being immature about this, I am genuinely worried, I would bring this up with other admins or bureaucrats but I do not feel it is my place. Thank you.

Query
Do I come off as a bit of a nuisance? Do any of the users seem to hate me? I'm just wondering, I do talk a lot, and I'm wondering if PGB has any foundation in his claims that I'm feeling the hate now. Thanks  Darthkenobi0 BlogTalkContributions 03:29, March 28, 2010 (UTC)
 * Thanks, it was more than that, I just notice that I talk A LOT to a lot of people on here, especially Imrlybord7 and the other admins, and I was wondering if my jabbering was annoying in any way.  Darthkenobi0 [[Image: lightsaber.jpg|25px]]BlogTalkContributions 03:35, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Don't reblock him yet, wait for the vote to be over before taking any action. It's the only way to settle this without any further crapstorms.--WouldYouKindly 03:32, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Closing discussion on COD:G
As you may be aware, a discussion regarding a revision of COD:G has been going on in the War Room, found here. The thread has been active for about a month now. I will be looking into proposing changes to COD:G; however I would be appreciative if more editors contributed their thoughts to the proposed changes at this stage rather than when the voting takes place.

I would like to invite you, as an administrator and experienced editor, to contribute your thoughts on the COD:G issue so that we can formulate the best revision possible. --Scottie theNerd 14:28, March 28, 2010 (UTC)

Poketape,

I've noticed everyone has a unique name whenever they sign a post using four tidles, (~ x4)

I was wondering if you could make my name have Red Bold text and have an Animated AC-130 symbol on both the beginning and End of my name,

Templates
Hey you said you were good at creating templates? Because I need some help creating templates for another wiki I'm an admin for. I was hoping for something around the same size of this wiki's templates by different colour, and different words. Any help or tips would be appreciated :) Mr Zurkon 07:56, April 14, 2010 (UTC)

Newsfeed and CoD game template
Hey there Poketape. I've noticed that you added the fact about "Respawn Entertainment" back in the nwesfeed template. I had talked to 808 about this, and he seemed to approve of removing that statement, since it had nothing to do with "the fate and future of CoD". Unless I interpreted his words wrong, that should be removed. Also, you changed Modern Warfare: Mobilized to the DS version of MW2 in the CoD games template. It's a totally different game, like Roads To Victory. As stated in the article, MW:M is an entirely different game, just that it's the continuation of CoD4, but in an alternate reality. I know you're an admin and all, and I don't want you pissed at me, but that's the truth. I'm 100% sure about the CoD games template, but you can go over the "Respawn Entertainment" thing with me (and maybe 808) if nessesary. Captain Hax 217 T    C     E  00:04, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

By the way, on the requests for adminship page, many people said no because "we have enough admins at the momnet". Is there a maximum amount of admins allowed on the wiki? Cpt.

Re:Shi no Numa Message.
First of all, you will need: All doors open, Music eater egg finished, the WW DG-2, the m1 carbine, ALL 4 perks, And Only ONE friend.

Okay, lets get some steps started! Note:I know this sounds like a hoax or, that its bogus, but it works.
 * 1) Knock down peter of the rope.
 * 2) Have 5 crawlers at level 11 Clue:element 115!
 * 3) You do a cross map easter egg hunt.To do it, have one friend on the WAAAAYY side of the map.
 * 4) CROUCH in each AND every corner there is on the map (It took me an hour to do this.)
 * 5) Go to every mystery box, buy then activate the flogger,
 * 6) Then, YOU NEED TO DIE IN THE FLOGGER.
 * 7) You should here it while you die, and you friend here's it next to the mystery box as well...

However, if it doesn't, then ask me.

Regarding the New Admin Requirements Drafts
I believe the draft needs a lot of work, the discussion has grown stale, and should be placed on the Sitenotice, it will affect our wiki as a whole, and is quite important (why else would so many admins be discussing it?), but the actual draft is losing attention. Thank you (:  Warpig  3|1|2 02:31, May 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sad... Eventually the revision will be drafted and voted upon I guess, though I certainly hope it doesn't go the route of the Signature Restrictions. Thanks for the time.  Warpig  3|1|2 02:42, May 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * It seems that my draft is being voted upon. Input on it? Thanks.  Warpig  3|1|2 23:40, May 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well I meant input as in "could you post what you think should be added?" Basically, how many edits do you think?  Warpig  3|1|2 03:04, May 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * I view those numbers, personally, as a good marker, but I believe that maybe they would be added to the "constructive contributions" point as a guideline or stipulation?  Warpig  3|1|2 03:20, May 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Indeed, honestly I do like the edit count requirements to an extent (obviously I'm for the revision). So 500 mainspace? I do believe that it shows a good amount of activity, but possibly some sort of clause could be added stating that if a user does not meet that particular point, but is very active in policy discussions, or some other activity, that requirement is waived? I'd add it in, except that I don't believe it would be right to add in 500 as a rock-hard requirement.  Warpig  3|1|2 03:46, May 12, 2010 (UTC)


 * Okay, I think that the revisions should satisfy the conditions you'd like, and should weed out certain users without being unfair.  Warpig  3|1|2 04:51, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

It appears that you're overlooking the Improvement Drive (though I maybe wrong), so I would like to remind you of the "excellent progress" we've made there. Sarcasm aside, the improvement drive has made no progress, even though there was a notice that was put up to remind users to vote. If nobody votes, we won't get anywhere. Should we just end the nominations for certain articles that do need to be improved to make some progress, or should we wait a bit longer?http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif 03:09, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Just saying, you should lessen it to maybe a year. IPs can change, and if someone else gets PGBs IP, then they won't be able to edit if they want to. Which, In my opinion is bad.

Videos
A while after making a forum about people advertising their gameplay videos on the wiki, I went through Category:Videos to check for any more vidoes posted by people advertisng their YouTube channel. Not suprisingly, a lot of those videos don't work, are useless, or aren't linked to any pages. Would this qualify as a problem for the on going mass cleanup project? http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif 22:47, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Only admins can delete those videos, but we can get non-admins to help put the speedy deletion tags (Template:sdelete) on the pages for uneeded videos. It will make it easier for the admins to delete them, as they will all be categorized in the speedy deletion category. http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif 23:00, May 25, 2010 (UTC)
