Help
Hello, Laagone, thanks for taking the time to read this.

Anyhow, I've been having an issue for a while now and decided to come to you for help, seeing as you are an admin here. I've created this account for the sole purpose of communicating with someone on this wiki about the problem, so sorry if this seems like spam. Anyways, a while back (roughly 5-6 years at my guess) I created an account here under the handle UberGamer. Now, I wasn't being a very smart teenager when I created this account, and as such, I included my real name on the webpage. This has the unfortunate side effect of showing my page on this site as one of the top results when performing a Google search of my name, and as such, does not look good on a professional level. Since I know it would be well within your power to do so, I would appreciate if you could delete my name from that profile's page, or if at all possible, delete the page in its entirety. As I no longer have access to the email I created the account with, I have no way of doing this myself, nor can I verify that it is, in fact, my account without logging into it, which, again,  I can't do because I don't remember the password. If there's any information you need from me in solving this dilemma, please let me know.

ZeroDarkFlirty (talk) 03:16, November 21, 2015 (UTC)
 * No problem, I removed what looked like your name from the page. I'm not sure how search results are affected though (for now it probably shows a cached version and still includes the userpage in the results for a while) and if the page's revisions need to be hidden from public view, lemme know if it gets resolved. 03:44, November 21, 2015 (UTC)

RE:
Ah, okay, my bad. I'm just so used to removing redlinks on sight. It does seem a bit pointless to create pages for weapon galleries without any plan to quickly upload images though. Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 08:32, December 20, 2015 (UTC)

Cyber Core clips
Hey there, Laagone. Since you appear to be one of the other few people on this wiki who got deep enough into the campaign, I was hoping that you'd help me with a thing. Because most of the articles concering Cyber Cores are pretty much lackluster, I'd figure that I'd add some detail and record 21 short videos of each individual core being used. Afterwards, I'd just put them in an unlisted playlist and have them posted for purely resource purposes only.Then just link them into their respective pages. Nobody seems to care about Cyber Cores (some of the pages still had references from E3 2015 on them), but I think it's a good idea. Would you mind helping out on this?

Louis Bancroft 02:21, January 11, 2016 (UTC)
 * Sure, I'll try to help where I can on that. If you have anything in particular you need help with, just hit me up. 02:25, January 11, 2016 (UTC)

That was me, yeah. I was thinking of rewriting the current pages on the wiki to fit with this explanation of the campaign, but I don't really want to toot my own horn, so to speak. The fellas on r/blackops3 seem to think it's a pretty solid explanation, but I don't know what anyone else thinks. 09:31, January 11, 2016 (UTC)

GIF
Nice GIF for the Gravity Spikes. Do you think you can a third person shot from theater and put it on here as well? 15:19, January 13, 2016 (UTC)
 * I probably could, but I'm a little careful about putting GIFs on pages, since they tend to be large in size (the Gravity Spike GIF was 9 MB, and 10 MB is max Wikia allows per file), which affects page load times and can be bad for people with potato internet. I'll see what I can do. 15:33, January 13, 2016 (UTC)

Deleting pages for merging
Once again, the epidemic of pages that need to be deleted arises. I can understand the whole rules that make sure that Custodians don't go crazy and delete tons of articles, but there are certain things like the pages for the Mothership and Leviathan (these are the exact same things) that are bugging me. Same goes with the Attack VTOL page, as the vehicle is known as the Bullshark now. It's referred to as a VTOL for in-game challenges, but you know.

Also helps with pages that still have references and information for things that have already been handled (the CyberTech Station page would be an example. What's in that could easily be added as a section on the article for the Safe House).

I'm just asking for at least an exception, as it'd be a doable but boring task to have to request every single time a page needed to be deleted for clean-up purposes.

Louis Bancroft 21:06, January 14, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well... I didn't make the rules for that, it would feel odd for me to make the call. If you really want it to be changed, you could open a War Room post. Anyway, in the meantime, even though there are a few duplicates around, you could open an AfD or tag them for speed deletion. 02:36, January 15, 2016 (UTC)

Black Market
I'm going to be helpful and unhelpful now. I have a quote for Black Market, but don't know how I triggered it. I think a Rare was involved. Anyway, it was as such: "10/10, would trade [with] again". (I think there was a "with", but given how the meme is usually said, I'm not sure) I remember it for, well, obvious reasons. 19:53, January 19, 2016 (UTC) 20:17, January 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * Well, I've added quotes from memory before on other pages. I can't remember hearing that one, but as long as you're sure something like it exists, I don't see why not. Maybe it was one for getting a high quality drop? Someone can correct it, anyway. 20:01, January 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * I believe so. As I recall, it was when I got a Man-O-War camo drop. I certainly remember the quote as being a direct reference to the "10/10 would X again" quote. 20:06, January 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * Also, it seems you've made a new specialist:.

Backup
Thanks so much, I'm saving this to my PC now lol. I'd even typed it all out in Word. Don't have many times I need to back up a text document though this will be a lesson as it isn't even something like a full essay. Do you think it's OK if I bite-size it for the article? Cryptar (talk) 07:31, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

OK thanks I've given it a go so I'll check over it again and add it. Cryptar (talk) 08:20, February 17, 2016 (UTC)

Kuda/VMP galleries
Thank you a million times for all of those VMP and Kuda pictures. Saved me an hour of capturing and uploading/renaming. Can't thank you enough; it's nice to see someone else coming in to fill in all the camo galleries. I've got a new batch of Locus camos incoming in the next hour. Thanks for contributing!

BO3 images
I got some holiday days off work so I was thinking of doing a few image uploads since I had the time to take and crop 'em. I just wanted to ask what you think is more important at this time, attachment images or camo ones? I have a few variants for the images, but I'm mainly just thinking of getting the vanilla ones up. 20:49, March 19, 2016 (UTC)
 * Probably camo, I can see more users being more interested in those rather than what attachments look like on each weapon, apart from the variants. 20:57, March 19, 2016 (UTC)

Question about the Green Run/ TranZit Dilemma
Can you please explain the logic behind TranZit not being a map, but Die Rise and Buried are? This is causing a massive inconsistency throughout the site. I dont believe TranZit is the game mode, but it is the map itself. Green Run is a "blanket name" used to contain Bus Depot, Diner, Farm, and Town; Similar to how Alcatraz Prison contains Cell Block and Sunset Strip. TranZit, not Green Run, is exclusively used to continue the storyline, similar to how Die Rise is used instead of Great Leap Forward, and Buried is used instead of Resolution 1295. With the exception of Nuketown survival (which is another, separate dillema altogether), sub-game modes such as Grief, Survival, and Turned are non-canon and dont further the storyline. IF TranZit was a game mode, then why doens't it show up in the later 2 maps? We click on Tranzit, and it takes us to the MAP loading screed, just like we do with Die Rise and Buried. We click Green Run, and it takes up to subsections, similar to how we click on Great Leap Forward and Resolurion 1295, and we are shown subsections (if Great Leap Forward were to have subsections.) I know you are inclined to be against treating TranZit as an actual map, for effort's sake, but please read this with an open mind..

CallMeTheRealPapi (talk) 20:42, March 27, 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm actually fairly neutral toward the matter - problem is, it's been discussed plenty and the latest attempts were mostly repeating the same. While it's inconsistent across the wiki, it's already a mess to begin with in the game itself (not just the menus and the loading screens, but also less "direct" mentions such as achievements). I wouldn't mind it being changed to TranZit but since it's already kind of an unwritten rule due to past consensuses, the best that really can be done is to open up a War Room thread though chances are it won't go anywhere. 21:22, March 27, 2016 (UTC)

Your contribution to the Wunderwaffe DG-2 page
Look, we are trying to edit the page to what is right, in World at War, I'm not sure if you are aware of this or not, but when it was Pack-a-Punched, it really would increase to 24 kills per shot, and would also increase deadly splash damage. Please leave it at 24 kills please, look it up for proof.

Deathstrike2112 (talk) 19:20, March 31, 2016 (UTC)Deathstrike2112
 * We've gone over this, take a look yourself. 21:31, March 31, 2016 (UTC)
 * Okay, I see that, but if that's true, why do people keep saying 24? Do they have any reason to, or was there some reason to this belief? Is the kills per shot different on versions?(e.g. PS3, Xbox360) Just saying, don't disclaim it just because it shows it on PC. I am going to leave this alone now, but why don't you at least check different versions.
 * Deathstrike2112 (talk) 23:28, March 31, 2016 (UTC)Deathstrike2112
 * Because I don't have a PS3, and I don't have WaW for Xbox 360 (nor am I willing to spend €10 just to check). Usually balance and stats are not different between platforms, anyway, so it's wise to assume it's the same on all of them. If someone comes up with proof that it's different on another platform, I'm all ears. As for why it came to be... myths are myths. Some spark out of thin air and speculation, so dunno. 00:10, April 1, 2016 (UTC)

For template on FFAR
The war room forum about a year ago regarding usage of the for template reached a verdict that restricts the For template's usage to similarly named weapons (which you supported), and nothing else. Last time I checked, FFAR and Famas don't seem that similar in name, and you're using the For template for a purpose that the forum abolished. As for you trying to justify your point with the MX Garand article, MX Garand and M1 Garand are actually quite similar in grammatical structure, and as such, works for that article. Not so much this one.

As well, Raven was already undoing edits in that nature for lacking citation, and U94N already put in the wikipedia link to address the Famas similarity problem. In all honesty, considering what Raven and U94N have been doing with the article, I don't understand why you undid my edit and replaced it with the improperly exercised For template, and to be frank, I don't like what you did. I want to undo it, but I want to discuss this with you first so we can establish what to do with the article, as, obviously, our approaches to resolving the article's Famas citation problem heavily differ from one another. Didikins (talk) 02:25, May 9, 2016 (UTC)
 * Alright, fair. I didn't remember that forum or the consensus it reached so I figured using for would be a good compromise. However, I don't particularly agree with "Raven undid it already" since that doesn't really have any value. And to be fair, while having the WP link in there, it's pretty minor and "hidden" so I feel it'd be appropriate to mention that it's clearly a next-gen version of FAMAS same as many of the other new weapons (MX Garand -> M1 Garand, HG 40 -> MP40, Marshal 16 -> Executioner, NX Shadowclaw -> Crossbow/Ballistic Knife). The article is still a stub with minimal information and it doesn't really harm anything, even if there isn't in-game evidence of it. But anyway, I appreciate you taking it up to talk pages before undoing it. 02:34, May 9, 2016 (UTC)

RE:For template
i am attempting to talk to sam about the forum in chat at the time of writing this reply. ill get back to you on this once i get to talk to him. in the mean time ill stop undoing any edits that are done because of being weapon variants.
 * just an update on this: unfortunately, i did not get into contact with sam on chat earlier, and right around the time i was on there started the problems with wikia of the white screen with the three links on it so i got off without being able to leave a message on his talk page either. after that, i didnt get to get back on until a little while ago, and just finished leaving a message a few minutes ago, so unfortunately this will likely not get resolved until tomorrow/later today. sorry for the inconvenience. 05:10, May 15, 2016 (UTC)
 * ok, sam replied back. he said that when he made the forum, he didnt really have weapon variants in mind and so your right: its fine to use the for template that way...at least for now. he also suggested to me to make a new forum regarding whether or not to use the for template for the weapon variants, but im not positive ill have the time, so if i dont get to today feel free to make one because after today itll be at least until the week after next before i get enough time to possibly make a forum. 18:11, May 15, 2016 (UTC)

Just wanted to ask if you knew the answer to the following: "What is Bovell's favorite ice cream flavor?". I know it's a bit weird, but it's a security question for one of our off-wiki accounts, and I don't know the answer and without it I can't log in to it. 16:21, June 15, 2016 (UTC)

About BO3 texture files
I'm looking for some BO3 textures, do you know where are they in the BO3 files/folders and are they all in one "giant" folder or in each map folders?

RE:
I felt that an edit summary was unnecessary, due to the self explanatory nature of the edit. And, in the 6 years I've been on wikia, we've rarely, if ever, taken things that users whom we don't know if we can trust or not at face value. At one point or another, every user has been asked to prove an edit of theirs, especially if it's removing information that has been on the page for multiple years. Yes, if we had to have a source for every little edit made (not like that's what I was asking for anyway) things would take forever to get done. But if we took everything that every user said as the truth, we'd be absolutely riddled with inaccurate information. Besides, if you look at the original edit you'd clearly see that there wasn't another edit on the page for over 2 months, which then wasn't even in the same section of the page, meaning that countless users either didn't see the edit or saw it and thought it to be true. I wasn't even claiming that the statement was the truth, as you seem to think. I didn't know if it was right or not, hence why I placed the template on the page. Not that I'd be the one to supply the proof, as I wasn't the one to add it to the page and wasn't aware it was even on the page until HERSEYnutter removed it. The burden of proof belongs to the one making the claim. Conqueror of all Zombies (talk) 03:04, October 7, 2016 (UTC)
 * AGF doesn't mean that we have to take a user's word by heart, simply that we need to assume that the user had good intentions and didn't edit the page in an attempt to spread deliberate misinformation. At no point did I ever assume that Hersey was removing the information in any sort of malicious manner, I wasn't even the first user to undo his edit. Saying that it could cause a soft lock could've been just as inaccurate as saying it did or didn't outright prevent the easter egg as I didn't know which one was right in the first place. It's fairly difficult to ask for a citation on a specific passage if said passage isn't present. I am aware that I specifically asked Hersey to supply a source in an edit summary, but that's simply due to the fact that he was the one who was continuing to edit the page. I would've done the same if Roach removed the template. I didn't have the proper time, resources or will to search out the source on an edit that I both didn't make and didn't care about, so asking both parties to offer some proof one way or the other was easily the best course of action from where I was sitting.

Long Time, No See
Hey, I was lurking the chat as I often do, and out of the blue your old name came up. Joe just threw in a random War Room quote that was tied to one MLGisNot4Me. I had a huge nostalgia hit, I remember that name! Anyways, maybe you remember me. It's more likely you remembered my old Wikia account Sgt. Me. I'm about 90% certain we used to play on the Xbox 360 way back in the day, like 5+ years ago, at least. I can't remember my Xbox gamertag back then, since I went through them so often back then. Death Punch360, XxPrestigiousxX, or iiTz InFeKtiiD would've all been from around that time period, I'm thinking. Yeah, they're all cringy as hell but my current isn't much better. Anyways, send my a reply if you do in fact remember me and we should talk again sometime. 04:19, May 29, 2017 (UTC)
 * Yeah I remember, I'm not sure if we really played together but I think I at least had you added. 12:10, May 29, 2017 (UTC)
 * I thought we played but maybe not. That was a long time ago. If you still play on Xbox we should definitely add each other again though. 15:03, May 29, 2017 (UTC)
 * I haven't played on Xbox in a long time, I'm on PC exclusively (Steam). 20:03, May 29, 2017 (UTC)
 * I took a peek at your profile and it doesn't look like we have a lot of games in common, at least not any games that we play frequently. (Even though me playing any game "frequently" is a bit of a contradiction.) I still may as well add you though. All of my CoD games are still on Xbox, though I hope after this current console generation to switch solely to PC as well. My Steam name is linked on my Fallout Wiki page, or just assume your next friend request is from me. 02:13, May 30, 2017 (UTC)

Boosters
What are your opinions about them? I often find them in Infected lobbies trying to get Nukes illegitimately. Recently in Infinite Warfare, a trend is occurring with boosters: they're usually Japanese because their location and language says so in their PS4 profiles, and all they do is rig their controllers to make them move indefinitely so they don't get kicked out for idling. That way as the game plays they get free illegitimate XP, and because the game always ends as a win when everyone gets infected, their W/L ratio is also illegitimately high. They may not be boosting for Nukes, but they're definitely boosting for XP and W/L ratios.
