User talk:Chiafriend12

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.

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? Imrlybord7 05:09, April 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Halopedia has such a thing. When you visit the site while not logged in, there is an automated notice at the top of the page that says something along the lines of "and remember, creation of multiple accounts will result in a block." We could use a message like that, if anyone knows how. 🇨🇩

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,

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)

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.

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 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)

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?

 * That's fine and dandy, but when withholding said information from anyone but you is detrimental to the wiki (which is the case here), that's when I get pissed. The issue would already have been resolved if he had just told me or one of the other admins about it, or, imagine this, dealth with the issue himself. And once again, because I am very curious, I will ask, what the hell is his problem? And you know exactly what I am referring to. Imrlybord7 21:46, June 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Specific users, regardless of whom they are (COD:AEAE), reserve the right to speak with specific users on their own time and will about what they wish (federal rights within the countries both Chia and I live which take precedence over what you believe.) Your speculation about what we were to speak about is completely unrelated to the fact of what was discussed. And the fact you raise the idea that the wiki is related to our possible conversation(s) is also an unfounded idea. In addition, you also state that I'm withholding information from you, while the matter of fact is, I have no information to share with you. I am not a staff member at Wikia. I am not responsible for supplying you with information of my conversations with other users, as either a VSTF member or an Admin here (from my time as an admin here, over 1 year, I have NEVER read something stating I must release private info about myself or Chia to you or other admins.) Finally, and I say this as bluntly as I can, your curiosity has nothing to do with reality, my actions on Wikia or off Wikia, and personal information. If your curiosity drives your actions as an administrator here, then I am very deeply worried. "What the hell is his problem" -- I suggest you lay off, learn to respect other users, and understand that there are things above you in this world. 00:19, June 21, 2010 (UTC)

Regarding my RFA
I fully respect your vote and your reasoning, and honestly half agree, but I need to point out a few things that I never really got to say. Again, not that I don't trust or respect you, but I'd like to clarify and some clarification, all business.
 * There was provocation, I realize that I lost control, and I take responsibility for expressing my displeasure with TMOI in an uncivil fashion, but this is the only time I have explicitly insulted any user, any other incident of "unsavory" behavior was toward the end of being baited or rash controversial statements that could be viewed as bait.
 * The full context of those conversations is not present in a single one of those screen captures, and it is unlikely the full conversations still exist, again, I recognize that I should have reacted more civilly, but only a small portion of what was said is shown, I continually asked then told him to stop making vulgar statements (direct violations of the Wiki's IRC policies), spamming, and otherwise being trollish in nature (which is undeniable, there's clear evidence if you'd like it).
 * As I said, the "Away Fucking Killiks" was an obscure Star Wars reference, and while a bit inappropriate, I don't see how that qualifies as an insult, I was trying to jokingly capture his attention. If controversial or inappropriate jokes are something that means a user is not to be trusted with the tools of an admin, why are any of our admins admins? You regularly make your "burns down an orphanage" jokes, which I have no problem with, but could be seen as inappropriate, Darkman has made sexual jokes in public, Bord has made statements about politics which is a subject that in itself is an inferno of debate, I'm sorry but I honestly don't see how that point is valid in the context you made it.

Policy clarification.
What was the consensus regarding article titles for weapons that appear in different CoD games but with different names(i.e. Browning M2)? I've seen M60(Black Ops) and M16(Black Ops) spring up, when they're basically the same as their previous iterations. I do remember discussing it prior to MW2's launch, but I don't recall if anything official came up out of it. I just have a fear that we'd be creating redundant articles when most can be put in one place. Chief z 12:42, September 2, 2010 (UTC)


 * Hmm, I figured as much, seeing as how the M21 and M14 EBR have seperate articles even though they're technically the same. I guesss once the BO articles are filled, I'll consider bringing it up in the War Room if that problem arises. Thanks again. Chief z 13:06, September 3, 2010 (UTC)

Move from "Frank Woods" to "Woods"
May I ask why IMDB was not an acceptable source for his first name? His actor has been credited as playing Frank Woods, which has happened a long time before anyone knew who "Woods" was.

I was unaware that a template had been created, and had forgotten about this second paragraph addition to COD:LEAK.

If I recall the situation correctly from last year, Wikia staff contacted us about a complaint from Activision regarding the leaked information. Obviously, it is probably in the wiki's best interest to not engage in a legal battle with such a company, so the leaked Modern Warfare 2 info was taken down.

Activision has not made a copyright claim on the leaked Black Ops information yet, but they can do so just as easily as last year. Thus far, I've been having trouble getting people to adhere to COD:LEAK in regards to its first paragraph. 10:52, November 1, 2010 (UTC)

Official Fan Fic dead
Chia,

I realize now after my return to the CoD wiki after months of absence that our 1st official role play is now "dead", so to speak. Any thoughts on wether or not to revive it? 20:20, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Well, if it is dead, then I'll guess I'll start finishing it, but it was just a thought, considering Zombies will be returning shortly and to be continuing the Tage Der Albtraume story line and merge into the Black Ops storyline. And heres a summary of what's happened since you've last checked the roleplay, mind me I do not have all the details since the pages have gotten so long, I've had to archive every 50 posts on the page just to decrease length, perhaps with everyone's consent a CoD Wiki book/comic based on the Role Play should be released?

Anyways, heres the summary:

Riley is forced to fend off the zombies by himself, leaving Erika to run for her life successfully into a bar and break down crying, Allan, Stanton and the others then continue their trek to Berlin, discovering Riley survived and was rescued by a Trench-Gun wielding soldier named "Arthur North" from the 1st Marines division. Meanwhile, the other group of Vasili, Herzog, Michael and Cooper discover Erika, who temporarily is rendered insane and tries to kill Michael, but then she is coerced into letting go her weapon and laments why she left Riley to die. Soon, Riley and the others fight their way to the outskirts of Berlin to famed Metro 2, where a young soldier named "Yuri Pavelov", the fictitious brother of Call of Duty: Finest Hour's female sniper, Tanya Pavelovna. Then Eddie Price finds his way into this mess and meets up with a man named "Allan Maconnel", who really is a Leibstandarte-SS Bodyguard of Nazi Party officials who disguised himself as a US soldier to assassinate British and US Officers. Then, the first wave of bombers strikes Berlin soon after the group of Stanton, Falcon and Riley and the others have left the "Hell hole" and made their way to the camp, after making several stops to kill off any small hordes pursuing them. They then are alerted by the same Lieutenant that your character Sgt. Vicks pissed off when they dropped by informs them a RAF pilot wants a platoon sized unit to search Berlin and deal with any remaining zombies in the area. And meanwhile, a mysterious Gestapo Agent named "Adabold Kaempffer" appears on the scene, killing 1 zombie, and starting to flash back on his experiences on how the outbreak started, which begs the question for those still interested, "What caused the outbreak?" I can't continue, I'll get Carpel Tunnel syndrome if I write any further. :P 21:23, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Archive
I won't do it for you to leave the option to yourself, but I would suggest one. 21:43, November 4, 2010 (UTC)

Rollback
Hi Chiafriend. I apologise that this request may be less eloquent than it could be, my computer crashed and I lost my previously typed up statement.

I've been working very hard on Black Ops articles, and am struggling to deal with vandalism, leaks and unconstructive edits, such as those on Harris/Brooks. I was wondering if I could have rollback so that I could more efficiently edit these pages. For a brief spiel on me, I've been here for a few months, have around 500 mainspace edits, and hold bureaucrat status on my home Wiki, meaning I would be quite trustworthy and have much experience with this ability.

Proposal for new official roleplay
Hello Chia!

In light of recent release of CoD: Black Ops, how about you and I plan a new official RP based on Treyarch's zombie mode.

The story will be based upon the events of the zombie map "Five", except here's the full story basis and how the zombie infection started:

''The time is October 24th, 1964. 19 years since the original zombie outbreak in Berlin in October 1945. As a part of the military coverup of the incident, the US army had the bodies of the deceased soldiers reanimated by the toxic chemical known as 115, brought back to be tested in the labs of the Pentagon, until one day, something went very wrong, a scientist accidentally got cut by a sharp edge on one of the bloody soldier's knife, and since the knife had the chemical weapon on it, the scientist was infected and the infection spread as he bit people, turning them once again, into the horde of the undead, now it is up to a small band of survivors who have barricaded themselves inside the Pentagon to prevent the infection from spreading into society and kill it off once, and for all.''

Sound like a good story line?
