Forum:An extremely serious discussion regarding Modern Warfare 2

After Modern Warfare 2 comes out (probably around a month after), semi-protect ALL pages that are related to Modern Warfare 2 (I personally think that the whole wiki should be permanently semi-protected). Then allow me, and maybe a select few others, to edit all of them as I see fit. The purpose of this would be to: This would be a very long process. It would probably take at least a month. There are very, very few editors who I would trust to join me in this. I mean, we're talking Honors/AP English students who are intimately familiar with the game. I can totally understand why people would be opposed to this; it is elitism in its purest form and would exclude many good members of the community from contributing. But before you oppose it, please consider this. It's foolproof. All Modern Warfare 2 pages would be of the utmost accuracy and quality, which they otherwise will not be. I have put a ton of hard work into just about every perk, weapon, and attachment page from CoD4 and CoDWaW, and now much of it has been tainted by the contributions of poor writers or people who think they know about the game but don't. It is beyond infuriating to see dozens of hours of work go down the drain like that. User:Imrlybord7 14:29, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
 * Ensure perfect grammar, spelling, and punctuation
 * Ensure that all writing is wikified, with none of those blasted impersonal you's or any opinions
 * Ensure that all information is accurate, especially stats

Also, I also want to suggest we use temporary admins. These users will be granted full admin powers for a month (or longer if needed), to help tackle vandalism and help protect pages. There has already been a major increase in vandalism, and we cannot let these internet trolls get the better of us. So I suggest we hire 2-3 users. This is very late to be discussing these issues, so we need your vote! Do not nominate people yet (actually, if anyone should be a temporary admin, it should be Imrlybord), I'm actually considering we do a random draw. It's very late to be doing this, so we need to hurry. 18:22, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Semi Protecting all Modern Warfare 2 Articles

Using temporary admins

Please vote below this line.

Support of semi-protecting pages and use of temporary admins - This is vital. We cannot lose to vandals. Even bad English should not be tolerated, even if the edit was in good faith (which, if the edit is not vandalism, is almost always true). We need to show our worth, and we need to be the NUMBER ONE place for CoD info. 18:22, November 4, 2009 (UTC)

Support both Definitely, all MW2-related articles should be set to Autoconfirmed-only at least for a month or two after MW2 comes out. As for temp admins, as long as we get someone we know and trust to do it, they'll be a big help in fighting the huge surge of vandals we'll undoubtedly see. --WouldYouKindly 18:32, November 4, 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I'm wondering if we should also temporarily tighten the block policy along with everything else here. A 3 day block (which is the norm for most first-time vandals) isn't really going to stop persistent people for long, especially when there's a ton of new content ripe for the vandalizing.  I think we should extend blocks for first time vandals to a week or so, then 2 months for second-timers, etc. WouldYouKindly 18:49, November 4, 2009 (UTC)
