Welcome to the 141
Best handpicked group of editors on the planet. Glad to have you aboard at the Call of Duty Wiki, 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 Shepherd, out.

Trivia
Its in the Elbem stuff

Thanks for the intro btw
Thank you for the introduction :-)

The funny thing about the comment in the picture (How'd a muppet like you pass selection?) is that I actually took the name Clueless Morgan from a muppet. I.e. there is an actual muppet named Clueless Morgan. Not a figurative one.--Clueless Morgan 18:02, May 17, 2010 (UTC)

Hello
This is 206 reporting in. I would like to know how to become an Admin, or a Moderator -- Look OUT! HOSTILES! Sorry...

Sorry
I figured that feel under "in real life" trivia, I myself thought it should be in there. 20:49, May 19, 2010 (UTC)

hello?
hello? not sure how this whole wiki thing works. let me know if you get this. you left a comment on my page right? something about images and copyright... can you explain what i did wrong? and what i should do next time? im new at this. Alex dlc 07:34, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Re: hello
but what do i need to put as the copyright info? i need to write that the image is from treyarch? how come no one added any of my RPG7 images on the BO page? Alex dlc 09:23, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for the link. 16:49, May 20, 2010 (UTC+7)

Sorry about not replying to your message on my talk page when I was sick, I'm better now, thanks for the message! It definitely would have made me feel better sooner if I had read it then. Thanks again. 16:33, May 20, 2010 (UTC)

Merging
Hey, i was looking to some MW mobilized stuff, and i saw another crossbow called the explosive tip crossbow. Should we merge it with the black ops crossbow? What's your opinion?

Here's the link. []. 06:34, May 21, 2010 (UTC+7)

Yeah, its basicly the same crossbow with the same scope, except the one in Black Ops has a normal not-explosive bolt. 10:48, May 21, 2010 (UTC+7)

RE: Vandalism
I reported him to Doc. Richtofen, but I don't have any sort of vandalism template to warn him with, so no. Sgt.Maj. Delta  4-7 11:23, May 21, 2010 (UTC)

I know..I know.
I'm being a huge dickhead today. I don't know why...i'm REALLY sorry man.

Re:Callofduty 4
Yeah, that's actually me. I made that for 3 reasons -


 * 1) -I was going to use it to troll http://bocyottcod.wikia.com, but it turns out my IP was blocked, not just my username
 * 2) -As a subtle trick to play :P
 * 3) -Now that account name cannot be made by anyone else ;)

22:41, May 21, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that, I did leave something on that account's user page, I think.  00:14, May 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Muahaha. Don't worry, I'm perfectly sane :P  00:19, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks for welcoming me!
Thanks a lot! :P --Callofduty 4 00:15, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

DDD
A new user won't know what that stands for. Explain or link to it, mehbeh? Imrlybord7 20:18, May 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Don't worry about it. It's just a good thing to keep in mind for future reference. Imrlybord7 20:25, May 22, 2010 (UTC)

RE: CONGRATS...
Yes you are, but most of yours are user talk. You have over 2500 user talk edits. Most of mine are mainspace. /speaks in small voice/ And user talk. :D Anyway, thanks for congratulating me. Pvt. Dunn  02:53, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

Award
You deserve it!

But um, I wanted to let you know, User:BigBossCB made an edit to the Care Package page, I reviewed his edit, and he was removing vandalism, not leaving it. Have a good day man, you deserve the award!!!

Re: How is
It was an unconstructive edit. Vandalism also includes unconstructive edits. there of it was a minor case of vandalism. I wont report him unless it happens twice 19:05, May 24, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Movement Speed
No, I didn't create it. Check it's page history and go to the earliest. Pvt. Dunn  22:29, May 24, 2010 (UTC)


 * It would be categorized under game mechanics, but I'm not sure if there's a category for that right now. I'll handle it shortly. Imrlybord7 02:20, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

What's the 9th prestige emblem?http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif 20:00, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

To be more specific, what's the file name?http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif 20:01, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

I think i'm done. I belive the template you were looking for was Template:Img Followhttp://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif 20:09, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Thank you
No problem. Honestly, randomly posting that on an admin's talk page is probably the stupidest thing I've ever seen a vandal decide to just do out of the blue.--WouldYouKindly 23:22, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Re:New Messages
Everyone that goes on my userpage seems to be freaked out by it these days. . . . . . http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif 23:48, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

Go for it!http://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif 23:57, May 25, 2010 (UTC)

You can keep the coding the same, or create those blank pages. Copy the coding from this page if you want to create them: User:Hax_217/Messageshttp://www.wikia.com/skins/common/progress-wheel.gif 00:14, May 26, 2010 (UTC)

Hi
I just created an account to make a suggestion.

Can images like ones in http://callofduty.wikia.com/wiki/Call_of_Duty:_Modern_Warfare_2#Weapon_list be turned into links, so that clicking on weapon links to tha weapon. I don't know how to do that, but I've seen it on some other wikis so it must be possible.

Thanks.

I'm sure I've seen it on some other wikis. Is this it -> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap ?

Black Ops
Hello, Black Ops needs editing, please may I have permission to edit the page?

I'm sure I've seen it on some other wikis. Is this it -> http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:ImageMap ? I think it should work on this wiki too?

Welcoming Anons
Why do you always link the page that they edited to the Viet Cong page? 08:20, May 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * I'm not sure. Instead of copying the web address, just link the page using the square brackets.  08:30, May 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * No problem.  08:33, May 30, 2010 (UTC)

Re:
I feel the need to explain to them why their edit was wrong, so as to prevent them from doing it again. It is just my nature. Blinzy45 03:51, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

Vandalism
When someone vandalises, you can undo the edits to the previous revision. Just ask an admin or such because they'll grant you undo rights. I was given them by Saint. DevilWarrior112 10:10, June 3, 2010 (UTC)

"Vandal"
That did not seem like vandalism- all they did was move text a bit lower on the page.

No problem. -- 18:26, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Tip
Instead of writing  as a category, all you have to do is write   on the page, it'll add a category automatically. -- 18:37, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

No problem. Speaking of friends, I'm gonna add you to my list. :) -- 18:41, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

It's nothing. The more, the merrier, right? -- 18:44, June 5, 2010 (UTC)

Why
Why did you give onlymeandmyknife 3 welcomes? Blinzy45 02:45, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

He didn't, onlymeandmyknife gave himself two welcomes and Whiskey gave the third. 02:47, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

NO BLINZY45, IF YOU TOOK THE TIME TO LOOK AT THE TIMESTAMPS IN THE HISTORY YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN THAT I DID THE FIRST WELCOME, AND HE DID THE SUBSEQUENT EDITS ON HIS OWN  Talk  03:37, June 8, 2010 (UTC)

I looked to see what template was used. I saw 3 of them. I do jump to conclusions, even going so far as to make a replica Jump to Conclusions board from the movie Office Space Blinzy45 04:20, June 8, 2010 (UTC)
