RfA "nominations"
I'm bringing this issue straight to you, as I don't think a discussion on the RfA talk page will get very far. This concerns a recent trend of users nominating other users for adminship.

The RfA page does not state that users can nominate anyone but themselves, and even if they are allowed to do so, I feel that it is against the spirit of the wiki to put people up for higher positions without their knowledge or consent. It feels that many users are treating admin positions as rewards or recognition for contribution rather than the issues admins are expected to handle, as seen by the numerous "he deserves it" line of thought.

Several recent nominations of other users have resulted in rejections by the nominated user and discussions don't seem to be looking positive. My hunch is that the nominees may feel that the discussion is occurring "behind their back". I'm sure you can agree that users are more than willing to nominate themselves if they feel like they're up for the job.

Being the senior bureaucrat, could you officially clarify expectations on the RfA page? --Scottie theNerd 16:15, April 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * I agree. As BigM once said on one of my past RFAs, "Adminship is not deserved, it is simply extra tools". Someone nominating someone else usually does not mention why giving the user administrative/bureaucratic rights would benefit the wiki, they normally just flatter them and tell everyone else how good they are. 17:25, April 4, 2010 (UTC)


 * For the record, when I nominated both Griever and EightOhEight it was with their permission in cases where I asked them, they did not ask me. So users don't always ask for nominations.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 05:08, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

Same went for when I nominated for Juan as admin. 09:56, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

RFBs
Hello Chiafriend. As you probably know there are 2 bureaucrat nominations going on. Will you be willing to make 2 new bureaucrats or just 1? (I do realize that my vote might still fail, so don't worry I'm not jumping ahead of myself here). I would like to know because if you will only accept one then I'll do something regarding my RfB. 19:47, April 5, 2010 (UTC)


 * So you ignore me... :/ 11:28, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

We Need to halt the Roleplay
We need to see which users should be removed from Roleplay (because they haven't been doing anything like posting chapters) and ask some people to change their characters and not make them be hollywood actors who can fire 2 M1 Garands with both hands and reload in 0.2 seconds. So can we halt? Toilet Bowl Soldier 08:11, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Call of Duty 8
Why can't I edit call of Duty 8? FIKUS96 17:33, April 11, 2010 (UTC)

I think you should rename the article to "Call of Duty (Sledgehammer Games)". Here's why. as you know, Modern Warfare 3 has been announced and will be coming out in 2011. Call of Duty (Sledgehammer Games) is also announced to come out in 2011, so it is unknown which game will be coming out first and which game will be Call of Duty 8.

Call of Duty: Black Ops
In the article it was stated multiple times that the game was to be called Call of Duty: Black Ops, so I took the liberty of moving it. Sorry for the mistake.

Quite novel indeed.
I like it, I like it! But yeah, my boredom knows no bounds. Anywho, I think the first thing you should focus on is establishing exactly why and how they are committing these murders. Are they total sociopaths, deranged lunatics, or genius vigilantes (my vote would be a mix of 1 and 3)? How do they manage to kill so many people without getting caught? I also think that once the first one gets caught, you should explore the gradual mental decay of each remaining member as paranoia overcomes them; the group's destruction should be reminiscent of a pack of rabid dogs turning on each other one by one. Maybe some will kill each other, some will get arrested, some will turn to drugs, and others will run away. I think it would be really cool if the two or three kindest members ran away together and had some degree of success (I smell a sequel!). But yeah, cool idea, and of course all of these suggestions are just that, so feel free to ignore whatever you don't like.

Also, you're actually one of the funniest people I have ever known. And sick techno song, too. <font style="background:black"> Capt. Bord T C   E 06:42, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

Things That Need Closing
There are RFA's and RFB's that need closing. Doc.  Richtofen  16:54, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

Re:RFB
Don't worry about it, I understand. Anyway, what's up? 16:30, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

As you might know, there was a volcanic eruption in Iceland, which in turn made flights out of, or into, most of Europe impossible, due to the ash cloud. It just so happened that my uncle and aunt were in England to get a flight back to Canada, and so yes, their flight was canceled due to the eruption. So, we offered to take them in (the airlines did not have to pay for accommodation) to stay with us until they get a flight. So, this weekend we'll probably go out somewhere with them. 18:29, April 17, 2010 (UTC)

Sigh
TheManOfIron was being malicious and uncivil not only to me, but a several other users. That was in addition to the attitude he showed me (and others). I think he warranted that block, and that was not the first case of him showing disrespect for other users. Also, I talked with Joey on IRC for a bit and he said to "Use my best judgment", which I did.

I know people are allowed to question others, but he put it in such a mean and offensive way, especially when Darkman was just made a bureaucrat. That is why I said it was totally unnecessary. 10:06, April 18, 2010 (UTC)

Greetings
I am putting together a new recreational user groups called the Fan-Fiction Writers Club aka the Fanfciters, and am looking for new users, if you yourself would like to join, I would much appreciate, or if you know another who would, please let me know as I think any fan-fiction writers on this wiki could benefit from a group to meet and showcase within. Thanks for your time.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 00:09, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

A problem.
We are sort of in the middle of a sock puppet debacle with TheManofIron. I think that he just made a bunch of accounts when he first joined because he couldn't decide on a name. A lot of new users would probably do something similar; they have no reason to think it's a big deal to have vacant accounts lying around. I think we need to better advertise to new users that if they make multiple accounts they have to tell us which one they want to keep so that we can block the others. Any ideas?

PGB
Hello,

First of all, let me introduce myself. I'm Bondpedia, and I'm the main administrator and bureaucrat at Battlefield Wiki. Recently, thanks to User:Doc.Richtofen and countless others, our wiki has been saved by the participation and help of CoD Wiki members, and unfortunately, there is an issue I'd like to take up with you (amongst others recommended by Doc).

Peter Griffin Boy came with several others to our wiki, and like at yours, there has been trouble, but mainly regarding discussions on CoD Wiki. Since PGB has been blocked here, he has been over at Battlefield Wiki arguing with other members about his blocks, so to get come context before I have to intervene I have a, hopefully simple, question to ask:

Can you outline for me, from the start, what PGB has done, the reasons for blocks, who did what and when etc., preferably impartially, it'd help immensely.

I'm contacting others as well, so if you're busy I'll understand, but I just don't want this dispute to continue to escalate. Your help would be greatly appreciated, Thanks - Bondpedia (Talk) 19:17, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Ordering
I also did it out of respect for Saint. And yes, I am saying that crats deserve more respect than sysops. But please feel free to change it back. Ironically, by my saying that (and potentially you acting on it) it just reaffirms the very thing that you are trying to combat. Imrlybord7 00:39, April 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I don't disagree with you, however, I feel that only the most respected of sysops end up becoming crats. It isn't that the position affords respect, it's that respect affords the position. Imrlybord7 01:00, April 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * "...but the respect should fuel the bureaucracy, not the title fueling the respect" sounds awfully similar to "It isn't that the position affords respect, it's that respect affords the position," eh? Imrlybord7 01:10, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Stuff
Why, I did notice you were gone. I think you missed the PGB bashing and permablocking. Regarding the blocking policy and me closing it, that policy is one that technically should and can be used every day, I thought closing it as soon as possible was the best thing to do. However, I do appreciate your opinions and agree that it could have stayed open for a little bit longer. My apologies for that.

Regarding the affiliates, I have no idea how those came about. I think Darkman might have something to do with them, seeing he put up the sitenotice regarding them.

Also on the topic of forums, if I may I'd like to guide you attention to the forum here. Your input will be much appreciated.

Now, on the topic of rap, it seems you're quite the fan of it. Not much of a fan myself unfortunately, but what rappers do you like? I would assume those you mentioned.

Anyhow, it's good to see you're back. 17:05, April 27, 2010 (UTC)


 * I think the same way as you on rap - in addition I think that nowadays when someone sees the word "rap" all they think about it senseless songs about drugs, sex, money etc.


 * And I do know who Tony Hawk, Dick van Dyke, Mario and the rest are lol, I was referring only to the rappers and "rappers" you mentioned.


 * If you want to have a say on the blocking policy, then you can if you want. I know it is archived but there is always a talk page... Bovell (he made the draft) would be interested in what you have to say. 17:09, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

User of the Month
What do you think? http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/UOTM#Nominations And what do I do with the current nominations? Just delete them? Imrlybord7 04:29, April 28, 2010 (UTC)


 * Yes, archive is what I meant to say. Anyway, this is something that Scottie and I came up with. I originally had it much more in line with what you are saying, but that means that users are recognized two months after the month of activity (one month to edit, one month for nominations and votes, winner declared on the first day of the third month). With this system users have about 20 days of the month to edit, a 4 day time period to be nominated, and about a week for voting. This means that users are credited with the proper month. And how can you say that people don't win? It's a bunch of users running against each other. One wins, the rest don't. The last sentence was put in because users are oftentimes nominated for UotM simply because they are good users and haven't won it yet. That isn't how it should work, and it's a good idea to remind potential nominators about that. If you want to see what I mean by "much more in line with what you are saying," just compare my revisions of the paragraph in the page's history. Imrlybord7 02:09, April 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * So does that mean you support this format, sans the "winner" bit? Imrlybord7 06:10, April 29, 2010 (UTC)


 * While I originally conceived that nominations can be done anytime during the month, the 4-day nomination period makes sense in that you can't really nominate someone earlier since they haven't actually done anything during the month proper. I do, by the way, agree with your stance on the term "winner". One doesn't win UotM just as one doesn't "win" a decoration. --Scottie theNerd 07:00, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

Well...
Okay, it was just something I sent out to the admins to see if anyone was interested, it's really more of a forum for your work, so if you ever write something and feel like sharing it, you can feel free to post it on the group page as a sample, or some such thing.

Call of Duty Wiki:Usergroups...
Needs some refining. I figured that if a group needed 10 members to be official, all the members could vote, and a 10-0-0 vote will always pass. So I imposed a voting requirements that currently state to vote, you cannot be a part of the usergroup. However, we have a usergroup entitled Usergroups:Zombie Slayers, which has no definitive goal, besides editing the Nazi Zombie pages, the Nazi Zombie wikia, and the Zombiepedia. The Nazi Zombie pages are currently fine, and the other two pertain to different wikis. Other than that, the group has no goal, which makes me believe that the group should not be official.

Secondly, we have a usergroup request for User:Sactage/Admin's Pets. This one has even less of a definitive purpose except to seek attention and look for future RfA votes. Helping the admins is what every user does, and most senior users would not like to be referred to as a "Pet".

Just my thoughts,

First Sergeant Bodette was featured on an episode of Shootout and is a commentator on Dogfights, specifically the episode featuring the USS Johnston I believe. Why am I telling you this?

Problems.
This Wiki is in dire need of an authoritative figure. We need someone to lay down the line, to make the rules, and to finish what is destroying the wiki.

My suggestions to make the Wiki more professional:


 * All relevant blogs should be allowed, excluding blogs that are irrelevant or could easily spawn a flame war. For example, a blog titled "relationship advice," "XXX Show Your Face!!!," "Infinity Ward vs. Treyarch," etc. should not be allowed.


 * Users can be more merciful regarding the trivia purge. Some users have wasted their time finding little pieces of information only to have it wiped away by users because of a project topic that has a whole one line of discussion and no community input.


 * No one should be allowed to post pictures of themselves, excluding pictures for their avatars. Example: Random Man posted a picture of himself that had his full name on it. That is potentially dangerous.


 * A new policy needs to be created. Ironically, it's regarding the implementation of new policies. For example, when EightOhEight proposed that all Trivia sections be cut down, I objected and Darkman 4 went to effectively purge all of the Trivia in the mainspace, with the rest of the Wiki practically pissing vinegar. Furthermore, the new blogging policy was put into effect without a community vote. This caused a metric shit ton of users to get extremely angry with Wiki authority, and many users even threatened to leave. Many others made even more blogs regarding the policy, yet again detracting from the mainspace.

Whatever you want to do, you can do, as you are my superior, but the community is really sick of the piss-poor state that the Wiki is in right now. I am going to propose this in the Projects forum, but I'm just giving you a heads-up.

With respect, 🇨🇩 02:20, May 18, 2010 (UTC)


 * There is no policy which states that all policies must be first approved in the war room, especially those that need to be put into immediate action and are as important as the cleanup operation and blogging policy. Therefore, what was done was perfectly fine. 17:36, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Please have a say...
Here. I would like you to have a say before I close it. 17:36, May 18, 2010 (UTC)

Consensus
First off, I plan on making draft policies for a few War Room topics pretty soon; would you say that the signature restrictions have reached a consensus yet? It's fair to say the discussion has been ongoing for quite some time.

Speaking of consensus, it appears some users do not understand why we are not following a "majority rules" type of system. Do you think creating a brief policy stating that we deal with matters by consensus would be necessary? I'd appreciate your opinion. Thanks. 22:45, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

6, 12, 24 month medal
What are the criteria for earning this medal? Obviously being active here for the stated amount of time, but what else? I'm going to start handing them out and make a template for them if they haven't been already. 08:42, May 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks.  09:54, May 23, 2010 (UTC)

Hey Chia
Just wanted to say thanks for everything, you're sort of like our leader (you're a role-model for wikians, not really a "leader" in the sense of authority, but in the sense of ... good behavior (?) I can't think of the right word) but really a trend-setter for good wikians, and you're really a nice guy, so thanks! (Sorry you didn't get an actual paragraph like Bord D:)


 * /me sees your page and jizzes (Epic song, epic quote :D) no need to say "you're welcome", really I just wanted to let you know you're appreciated (uh oh... OBVIOUS STATEMENT ALERT).  Warpig  3|1|2 22:30, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

WAR ON HALOPEDIA
I am an editor on the fallout and alan wake wiki, i was looking on halopedia and i noticed someone has threatened the halo wiki, saying that they are going to delete all pages, can you enlighten me on this topic.Felixwilliams12 08:16, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism
Hey Chia,

An I.P. just vandalized one of our articles seen HERE, proclaiming that members of this wiki have organized a group of your users and/or the wiki as a whole will "wreck havoc" on Halopedia if we don't delete our articles within a week for the simple fact that our franchise apparently "sucks". Of course, this is childish and retarded fanboy behavior seen althroughout Wikia due to a lack of an IQ test prior to joining a wiki.

Certainly, I got a great laugh out of this character, though I guess its my duty to bring this to your attention so you could see if I should actually take this seriously.

Have a good one, CommanderTony 13:43, May 28, 2010 (UTC)

Novel
First things first: I wouldn't worry too much about your story "not having a point." One of my friends had similar criticisms for the movie "Black Hawk Down", even after I tried to tell him that for military personnel and stories about them, there is no other "point" besides the mission. And yes, you're correct: promotion to Private First Class in the US Army is automatic, and the rank is usually picked up faster than the Marine Corps' equivalent rank "Lance Corporal". -- <font style="background:gold">  Griever0311   00:00, May 31, 2010 (UTC)

Things may have gotten out of hand,
but I will NOT tolerate racism to any extent, and he has been blocked for racism before. I did not even consider blocking him or threaten to block him until he started making personal attacks. Imrlybord7 04:47, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Insulting communism is definitely not the same thing as harassing communists. Imrlybord7 04:55, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Alright, so this all started due to an innocuous oversight that I made. I should have said that I was quoting Liberty Prime and meant the initial comment as a joke (mostly). However, from that point I feel that the vast majority of the blame lies with TMOI, but I still did not consider blocking him or threaten to block him until he started the personal attacks. The whole "Russian superiority" bit is what sealed the deal (as I said, I won't tolerate racism and he has been blocked for it before). At most I am guilty of unintentional flame-baiting (I don't think that trying to find out why someone feels how they do is all that bad). Imrlybord7 05:02, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Declaring oneself a communist is practically begging to start a flame war as it stands and at that point he had already engaged in personal attacks (calling me a jackass and Darth a prick). Imrlybord7 05:08, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Since that had nothing to do with communism vs capitalism other than comparing Russia to the U.S., I called him out for just promoting Russia and bashing the U.S. Then I asked him if next he would say that Russians are superior to other people, and he was quite adamant to respond with a yes. Also, like I said, I was quoting Liberty Prime. I figured that people would pick up on it, pick up on the fact that I wouldn't say such a thing seriously, and/or not be so sensitive about it. Imrlybord7 05:17, June 1, 2010 (UTC)


 * Very well, but as I said on Shotrocket's talk page I don't think that people should be allowed to express those kinds of views outside of their user page unless they are willing to defend them (as in that should apply to everyone, not just TMOI, communists, etc.). Also, have you read through the entire series of comments? If not, please check it out. Imrlybord7 05:33, June 1, 2010 (UTC)

Possible additionsto blogging policy.
I know this sounds like a wierd request, but would there be any chance of being able to block blogs involving various developers (Infinity Ward and Treyarch) that will obviously involve flamebaiting? Just take TMOI's blog as an example of what I mean. Also, is it just me or have you noticed that a fair share of bad blogs are started mainly by players with >500 edits?

Woods citation
I checked imdb.com and it lists Woods' first name as Frank. Would that count as a reliable source? Or would you prefer something a little more "official," like an interview? I'm just asking because some people may have a problem with imdb (Rs4Life got on my case about the site). I remember they listed Fairbrass as voicing Ghost weeks before anyone knew about it.

New RP Idea
Hey Chia! I was wondering this a few minutes ago....

Since you've started the 1st Roleplay on this Wiki, Tage Der Albtraume, I was just thinking about maybe starting up another 2nd RP? Just give me more time to think about the story I have in mind, just ask me later.

Solicitation for green heart ribbon w/ oak cluster
Hi Chiafriend12, I hereby request the Green Heart Ribbon w/ Oak Cluster. I have done over 400 licensing edits to images that were in need. I have done numerous categorizing edits to Un-categorized pages. I don't know how many but it was more than a handful. I know that this doesn't count but I have done over 2000 welcomes and numerous vandal reverts. I am sure that EightOhEight can Vouch for my above said edits. I had solicted CallofDuty4 but go no response. Thanks for your consideration. Sincerely, <font color="Green"> Talk  00:49, June 6, 2010 (UTC)

TMOI would appreciate it if you read through his talk page.
Imrlybord7 01:05, June 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * So you think it is acceptable that completely unprovoked he called the French cowards and said that anything that isn't Russian is "a piece of shit" or "gay?" Imrlybord7 06:58, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * Sorry Chia, but it has to stop. TMOI is now just going for it, he's purposly promoting communism infront of a mainly American, capitalist and democratic audience. He's even changed his picture to the USSR Hammer and Sickle, not even going by modern-day Russia while going on blogs just saying things about how anything Russian is the best weapon ever designed, maybe I could understand if he was talking about the Tsar Bomb, but other than that, it's rediculous. Face it, he's now just out there to wind up as many people as he can. Maybe some of the stuff PGB did was accidental, but as you can tell TMOI is doing all of it purposly. Smuff 10:29, June 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * Even though the situation has basically been resolved, I would like to clarify that the only "arguing" I did with TMOI on this occasion was explaining why I blocked him (I did not communicate with him at all during the events leading up to the block), telling him to clean up his act, and correcting several false points/accusations that he made against myself and Callofduty4. Also, CodExpert calling TMOI a troll was an accusation, not a personal attack, and it definitely does not warrant any disciplinary action. And, according to what seems to be your logic, there is nothing wrong with calling someone a poor excuse for an American. Besides, you are more than capable of handing out hourly blocks yourself. Imrlybord7 16:36, June 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I will explain it again. TMOI was posting blatantly racist comments in a blog. I was not in communication with him while he was doing it nor was he provoked by any other user. I came in, saw the comments, and told him that because of what he said he would be blocked for 3 days and that I would be much harsher in dealing with any future racism from him. He then asked for an explanation as to why he was blocked on his talk page, and I said that it was for calling the French "cowards" and saying that everything that wasn't Russian was "gay" or a "piece of shit." Then he flipped out to a ridiculous extent. The only thing I did that went over the line slightly was call him "insane," but that was way after the fact and given what he had been saying it wasn't exactly unwarranted. Oh, and then there were the quotes about killing Americans on his user page, which I would not tolerate regardless of nationality (except for, say, Nazis). Once again, I did not get involved whatsoever until I had already blocked him for the racist comments. And if you think that what he said wasn't racist, well... then I am both floored and speechless. Imrlybord7 02:29, June 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * No, it's the majority of the wiki who have a problem with it, not just myself. Many have the problem that he likes communism as a whole, not just the concept. I have a problem for a different reason, he goes in and promotes it, which then causes other users to complain, which leads to flaming and a the home page listed with flaming about government types. I'm asking for the general health of the wiki, not for my own. Tell me one blog he has not mentioned about Communism or anything Russian since he replaced that picture and I will take it all back, because while I'm on, I've yet to see that. Yes, he has a high edit count. Yes, he deserves the right to everything we have. But it seems you're giving him preferential treatment against everyone else, and that isn't to fair to everyone else who gives a damn. So far the only improvement I've seen is he's taken the Anti-American quotes off his page. Smuff 21:17, June 7, 2010 (UTC)

Hourly blocks?
I was reading some messages on your talk page (sorry for being a snoop, but it's my nature to be curious), and saw something about hourly blocks. I am guessing it is possible to lay a block on someone for less than 24 hours. I mean, could you, if you needed to, block me for 4 hours, no more, no less? <font style="background:darkred">  404 Error   File Not Found  Please Try Again 17:05, June 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I am request a 1 hour block for my unnacceptable trolling of TMOI, and the fact that I called him a "foolish, arrogant, troll" or something like that. --CodExpert 17:13, June 6, 2010 (UTC)
 * ^So that's what Bord meant for by he asked for it. Lol. And no, it's good, you don't need to give me a four hour block.

This blog may concern you, as this decision seems to be one that should be made by a majority of the sysops.

RE: Deletions
Said discussions were stagnating and going nowhere. The articles contributed nothing to the wiki with the exception of "big picture" recaps of game events, which I left un-deleted. You once told me that community consensus means nothing if the issue is ridiculous, i.e. implementing illegal torrents or something like that. Well, having a bunch of articles essentially copy/pasted from Wikipedia whose only CoD-relevant information was already covered in other articles definitely struck me as ridiculous. Imrlybord7 02:32, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Regarding deletions...
Uhh, I saw what you wrote on Bord's talk page, and it seems that the articles are gonna get restored. Now, I deleted a crap-load of red links from about 10-20 articles...should I revert that?  Commander W567123daniel Wanna Talk? 02:40, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

Vandal.
CallofDuty4 vandalized by Usergroup. I think he needs a serous block, because it IS CLEARLY STATED NOT TO MENTION COMMUNISM in that group. I think he needs some time to review the groups rule. Maybe 1-3 days can help him learn. Thanks. TMOI


 * ^Ignore the above. I posted it on the talk page. I wouldn't take advice from a user who has been blocked many times previously and neglects to clean up his act. 16:56, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * ^Ignore the above. He is obviously making a excuse up because he knows he will be blocked. He needs to be blocked. --TMOI 18:58, June 9, 2010 (UTC)

I figured he was trolling by making obviously useless pages (the one that made me think it the most was obviously the page titled "Shit") that were well-written. That's pretty much textbook trolling. Imrlybord7 02:05, June 11, 2010 (UTC)


 * It usually entails acting deliberately ignorant to annoy people. I'm not sure how much time you have spent on, say, GameFAQs, but I've been around the e-block more than a few times. Imrlybord7 09:16, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Some kind of vandal data base log thingy
I asked Imrlybord7, but he's not on atm, and you are, so I guess I'll ask you aswell. Anyways, I was wondering, would there be any way to be able to implement some sort of page that we can record vandals on when there are no admins on? It sounds hard to do, I know, but it could be helpful.... Smuff 23:05, June 12, 2010 (UTC)

Oui, c'est ca! Yeah, something like that, preferably if it was semi-protected or something. It would be quite helpful just, rather than spamming two or three admins pages we could have that page that ALL the admins could see. Any chance of something like that being feesable?

Hey Chia,

Not sure if you would remember me at all, but I have recently been given sysop powers over at the rather quite Company of Heroes wiki. I few days ago, I performed my first block, and if possible I would like some advice or something about blocking unhelpful IP's and users. I would also like some comments on the block I made. The relevant information is provided below:


 * Here is the IP's "contributions": 192.139.27.18
 * Here is their block log: Block Log

It would be much appreciated.
