Core
I was beginning to start a "Core" article, until I noticed that it was deleted twice. But I think we should have a Core article, because it makes sense if we have its counterpart Hardcore. It would be nice for readers to read about the Core mode, if they can read about Hardcore. Thoughts? LITE992 18:59, August 1, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
Looks like we're gonna have those overdramatic teenager annoying whiny bitching blogs again. I don't mind going through deleting them, if you want me to. Don't let a few kiddies piss you off. 18:46, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm? 20:21, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * I was trying to get a response for the "deleting the revolution blogs" part. Never mind. But yeah, Wikia is on the loose again, I thought we had it blocked... 20:26, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yeah that makes sense, I was wondering if we could flag it as a bot because it tends to spam the recent changes. 20:31, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks a lot. 20:33, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Would you by any chance know how to...
Open .iwi files? I found some .iwi -> .dds converter but it failed me. Imagine what we could find if we could convert the images... 21:50, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oh yes, that would be great, thanks. 21:52, August 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Damnit, it uses .exe files too, bloody Macs can't use .exe files. Oh well, doesn't matter, I've got the link now for when I get my hands on a Windows computer, thanks a lot! 21:59, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

Hey what the hell are you doing?Mattpaul092 22:55, August 2, 2010 (UTC)

I think Cpt. Riley's Achievement boosting.
Darkman, Cpt. Riley's recent behavior of making 100+ edits in 1 day, adding the "Call of Duty Category" on every page in the wiki, making not-so-good edits on pages which can come off as vandalism to some people, and being 1st place on achievement leader boards leads me to think that Riley is personally achievement boosting. 14:05, August 3, 2010 (UTC)
 * Practically all of his mainspace edits accumulated up to now have occurred on August 3rd, which is the day the achievements went live. While it's not right to point fingers at people for edit boosting, Riley's edits do leave a lot to be desired, and the bulk of his edits have involved adding incorrect categories, which have necessitated their painstaking reversion. His manner in responding to our concerns has been disconcerting. So, while achievements are meant to encourage users to edit, I believe Riley needs an official caution concerning his recent editing spree. --Scottie theNerd 14:16, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Gratz!
On 10,505 edits! :P Thanks for warning DevilWarrior for me. -- TheManOfIron 19:15, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

And by the way Darkman, i'm sorry for flaming TMOI at the time.

Re: Category
Ah, sorry, I wasn't paying attention to IRC. Dolten  Lets Talk  19:35, August 3, 2010 (UTC)

Userpage
Haha, I love how you've dedicated your userpage to taking the piss out of certain things. Priceless XD  02:14, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Stop it.
Stop changing the attachments things. Rampantlion513  Wanna Talk??Edits 22:34, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Attachments templates
I would like to ask, why are you deleting them? Dolten  Lets Talk  22:34, August 4, 2010 (UTC)

Since you never got welcomed...
{| id="w" width="100%" style="background: transparent; "
 * valign="top" width="50%" style="background: #9DC36B; border: 2px solid #000000; padding: .5em 1em; -moz-border-radius: 1em"|

It's the F.N.G., sir.
Welcome to the Call of Duty Wiki, recruit! There's a lot to do around here, so here's the briefing on how you can help:


 * Recent changes is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.


 * Read our policies, if you haven't already. You'll be informed on the do's and do not's, as well as some guidelines when creating new articles.


 * The Sandbox is a great place to test things out if this is your first time editing wikis. It is advisable to know what is commonplace on the wiki, such as templates and categories, and how to use them.


 * Questions? You can ask at the Help desk, the "discussion" page associated with each article, or browse through the help directory. Feel free as well to ask on my talk page; we take care of our friends, recruit!


 * Have feedback? The War Room is used to discuss changes to wiki or other community related issues. You'll need 50 main space edits to vote, recruit, but your opinion is still appreciated!

I hope you enjoy editing on the wiki recruit! This is Bravo Six, out.

Question
Occasionally I see something that says ' reverted edits by to last version by. ' What is that? YuriKaslov 03:11, August 6, 2010 (UTC)

Level Images
Thanks for the heads up, but I was misled by actions previously - when I uploaded the official representation of Takedown, the image was deleted and my edit reverted, without so much as a edit summary. Is this policy widespread to all circumstances?  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  04:31, August 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * If thats ok, I'll start uploading them at some point.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  07:01, August 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hi Darkman, I've just run into a bit of trouble with Cliffhanger and the level images, as my upload was undone and a different image inserted in its place. Thanks.  Toon Ganondorf    (t    c)  10:29, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

But,
wouldn't that leave the category with little to no pages? TheManOfIron

Dude, I spent like an hour and a half on adding all those, come on... TheManOfIron

Richtofen said it was OK. TheManOfIron 09:29, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Dude, listen, I'm sorry. I am just kinda angry that I spent upwards of an hour doing it and it got rollbacked in a matter of minutes. TheManOfIron 09:51, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Also, one quick thing: Do you think Wontbackdown should be blocked for an additional 2 weeks, like Cpt. Riley was? Just a thought, seeing as he wasn't. TheManOfIron  09:54, August 8, 2010 (UTC)

Whoa!
I've seen your contribuations and most of them are reverting edits from TMOI to another user's version. Just asking, why revert his edits? Were they bad, vandals? 08:46, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Multiplayer Category
So that category is only for weapons/attachments that appear only in the multiplayer game modes of their game? 21:58, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

alright, I'll go back and revert my edits. 22:01, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Images
I understand but some images should be cropped as much as you did to the Commando image. Just crop it so that there isn't so much background. Don't crop out everything but the gun. The picture will look better if you don't cut out the player's hands. --

News
Look at The Vault, Fallout wiki. All blogs added to the "news" category are automatically displayed on the news page as well as on the main page. Ausir(talk) 22:32, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * If no one objects, instead of just adding a link, I can add a news section on the main page, like at The Vault. Ausir(talk) 22:34, August 9, 2010 (UTC)

Re:catgry
Yes i had figured my mistake when i put it on the m1911. im like "wait this wasnt in the trailer! and im like crap" sorry for the inconveinence(spelling) Qw3rty!  04:56, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

It would make sense to add them, but if you demand it i must follow it. Should i just take them off since i had put them there? Qw3rty! 05:21, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well i meant to put them only to the pages that were in the multiplayer video so i think those ones should have that catagory, but since im a dumbf*** i do make alot of mistakes Qw3rty!  05:27, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Hmm that seems unlikely that things revealed to the public wouldnt be in the multiplayer, but it has happened so i guess your right. So should they need to be removed? Qw3rty! 05:31, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Chinook
Should I start a page on the CH-47 Chinook? It was confirmed in the Black Ops Multiplayer Trailer. 13:09, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

Oh man dude,
I feel so sorry for you. In order to delete and image like the penis one, you have to look at it. Thats disgusting!! Man, that guy is one sick dude!! -- TheManOfIron 16:48, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

I saw it on a review that actually looked quiet proffesional of the game, so I decided to put that name is because it makes a bit more sense but only time will tell. TheManOfIron 18:52, August 11, 2010 (UTC)

A Possible Sock Puppet
You know the article that you deleted? I think the guy who made it is a sock puppet becase that page was made earlier today, under the same title, and was deleted by Cpl Dunn. The only thing was the guy who made it was different. Can you get an IP check on User:Retribuiton and User:Firelord Avatar Suzon? Rambo362  21:27, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

M4A1 Carbine
Your information was removed because we do not allowed real-life info, such as names for rail systems. We treat weapons as fictional on this wiki. Darkman 4 18:24, August 12, 2010 (UTC)

I see that articles are treated as "fictional on this wiki", but I came here hoping to find an answer as to the rifle's change of design/appearance from the first Modern Warfare, only to find nothing, not even a simple phrase. I had to surf elsewhere instead. Perhaps the first sentence under the Modern Warfare 2 heading can clarify that the rifle in the game is a Barrett REC7 (a modified M4A1), hence the reason for the weapon's significant change in appearance should anyone else drop by this article. Would that be acceptable? Wolcott 16:24, August 17, 2010 (UTC)

I think I made a mistake
Hi, I don't think I should have deleted Category:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Killstreak Rewards, I'll recreate it and complete it this time. Sorry. 00:21, August 19, 2010 (UTC)

Hey dude,

Sexual undertones in CoD4
Did you make that up or do people really think there are sexual undertones in CoD4? YuriKaslov 03:58, August 20, 2010 (UTC)

Re:RL Trivia
I don't see why not. I've warned Pvt. Reddenbawker about it. Give it a day or two to calm down, and we can re-open it. It's good practice to push it through the two week period all WR topics should go through. --Callofduty4 (Talk) 01:35, August 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * Scottie and I were discussing it on IRC, and we came to the conclusion that discussions where flaming is seen every few statements isn't really going anywhere, and it should be kept locked. To be honest the forum wouldn't have passed anyway, there is a policy on IRL info that the wiki agreed on, and it includes trivia. --Callofduty4 (Talk) 01:43, August 29, 2010 (UTC)

SPAS
You undid that guy's edit who said it was pump-action, but then the article said it was semiauto in text body yet the infobox stated it was pump-action. I changed it back to pump action because I also recall reading it was pump action somewhere. But then again, I may well be wrong, feel free to revert if I am... --Callofduty4 (Talk) 09:23, September 1, 2010 (UTC)

Wondering
I was wondering if we could put the tier number for each weapon from the new Gun Game mode onto each weapon's main page. For example, somewhere on the M14 page will mention that it is the 8th level weapon on the Gun Game mode. I was thinking we could put it into the info box if necessary....

Random Man 0213 04:30, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

I'll put it into the infobox, then.

Random Man 0213 04:33, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry, but how do I put it into the gunbox (infobox)?

MAC-10 or 11
Recent footage shows that what we thought was the MAC-10 is called the MAC-11 in game. I looked it up, and there really was an MAC-11 that was used in real life. The question is, should we make another page called the MAC-11 or leave it on the MAC-10 page?

Random Man 0213 16:30, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

Yo bro!
I saw you mentioned somewhere that a new trailer is out? (Not the wager match one :P) Could you link it to me pl0x... or am I just seeing things?  Helljumper "Noble Team ready for combat insertion."

the HS-10 article, should it be deleted? It has no proof, no screenshot, and I believe you have a policy for that.
