I archived your talk page. It was getting too big. Darkman 4 20:30, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

User Badge
I know they look cool, and they seem like a good idea, but I've tried 'em, WYK has tried 'em, and I gave him the same advice. They never refresh no matter what you try, and they just never keep the right edit count. I mean, it says you have 1,332 edits in the badge, but not in your actual edit count page. I'm just saying, it's not accurate, you might want to take it into consideration. 20:53, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Just thought I should let you know. Congrats on your new abilities, by the way. 21:21, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Oh, I know you're not an admin (yet, hopefully), it's just that you have a little more power over articles now. And I always considered you to have seniority, for your rep, editcount, and your name (anyone that grabs a name like that first is most likely someone you should treat as an established user, as opposed to, say, Callofduty4 1972, or something like that). 21:32, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Wow, thanks a lot. That really means a lot to me. I probably won't run for admin for some time now, I have the power I needed.

Oh, you're not that interested? I can't wait until I can run for admin. I really think the added abilities and power could REALLY let me help this wiki. You should see what I've done on Wikipedia, WITHOUT that sort of privilege. (If you really do want to see that, my username is the same there, too) If I become an admin, the sky's the limit for this website, and we might even get some "fresh faced recruits". 21:44, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks, that means a lot too. Oh, and I said you're not THAT interested. I just like to make myself clear, I know you do want to be an admin at some point, you just sounded like you weren't too crazy about it. If you do have the idea of possibly nominating me, I guess I'm going to have increase my mainspace editcount even more than previously planned, (I was already trying to increase my output so, at the same rate, I'll have a rather big number when I request adminship), huh? 21:52, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Before too much time goes on, I just want to tell you that rollback is intended for vandalism only. If someone adds "POOP BALLS" to an article, you use rollback. If someone adds a very opinionated statement, like "The MP40 is the best weapon ever, since it's 100 times better than the Thompson", you're supposed to undo the edit, and enter in the summary bar why you're undoing it—which, in that case would be due to the fact that it's really opinionated.

Also, be prepared to accidentally revert an edit by clicking on the wrong. Not that that's happened to me, though ^_^"!... 23:35, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Meh, its not really offensive to anyone-- 22:11, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Ingram's Birthday
I believe that Ingram's birthday (or at least age) is mentioned in Call of Duty 3. I'll check it later and get back to you, but for all CoD3 characters (except for Marcel and the characters you play as) they have a known age. Cpl. Wilding 22:27, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

I figured that, but I saw that you removed Ingram's birth date a while back, after somebody put it up. (most likely somebody with Call of Duty 3)Cpl. Wilding 13:08, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

UOTM
Hey, thanks, man! It doesn't always look good when you nominate yourself (sometimes it looks like they're just kind of full of themselves, but not always), and it means a lot in general. I'm sure I can get you in the same position soon, too. :) 21:51, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Who said anything about going head to head? I just meant in the future. I know you can nominate yourself, I just thought that might seem desperate or clueless or something. Anyway, don't worry, I'm not making a contest or anything. 13:46, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Thanks for the compliment
I have a kind of organizational semi-OCD thing with wikis, which results in me doing my best to clean up certain pages I happen upon. I won't be registering yet because my web connection's very spotty (usually only works from 1 to 6 pm), but once I get a new router, I'll probably be here in time for the next Call of Duty game's release in November. I appreciate your noticing my work, and can tell you that if I do register, I hope to keep my contributions of the same quality. Thanks. 74.215.114.200 20:32, 17 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:Admin
Well, your contributions are decent for an admin but you need to work on your people skills. Also, your recent block is still rather fresh in people's minds so that may cause a weak support to turn into an oppose-- 23:43, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: User Names
(Does me responding mean you're not an idiot?)

I don't think that's necessary. If people decide to have an unoriginal username, it's their own fault. What would we even do if we implemented a rule like that? Ban people with character-based names on sight? I think that's harsh and unneeded.

This is somewhat unrelated, but out of the thousands upon thousands of people I've seen across all of the Internet, I've only come across two other people known as "Chia": "Chiatorres2", who is now a friend of mine, and "Chia Heads". 23:12, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Stuff (what a vague title!)
So, yesterday I was doing my normal shenanigans of single-handedly killing hordes of Japanese soldiers and leaving my NPC squadmates in my dust on "Burn 'em Out". I went into one of those mini-bunker emplacements, shot the enemy officer in there, severely wounding him. He went into Last Stand, pulled out his Nambu and started shooting at me. But one thing I noticed was that he was crawling away from me. Wouldn't that be disgraceful by their standards? They're supposed to be willing to give their life for their emporer, or such, and he was crawling away, as if he wanted to live. And didn't officers have to be especially patriotic? That seemed very out of character for him.

Have you ever noticed how many people here play RuneScape? You, me, Bigm, and Ross (I think) at least.

Also relating to RuneScape, would you be interested in seeing my Machinima competition entry once it's done? It'll be teh awesome.

Assuming that you have Shi No Numa and/or Der Riese, I assume that you have Verrückt as well. What, may I ask, is it actually titled as in-game? I've heard that it's fully "Zombie Verrückt". I can't check for myself, but if it really is, its respective article really should be respectfully named.

Lastly, you said that depending on what Bigm says about allowing the moving/merging of the "Edward (Doctor's assistant)", it would be moved. Well, uh, that's just now how wikis work. If we had a Cabal or oligarchy in place, then I suppose, but we don't. Wikis are intended so that you can do things without having to ask permission or get approval before doing it (some exceptions, of course). If you believe that you have either evidence or all-out proof that Edward and Richtofen are one person in the same, then you would be able to move it without asking anyone else. If someone were to disagree, they could always revert your move/merge, then you would present your case on the talk page, have a discussion, and come to a conlusion, agreement, or compromise.

What I'm getting from what you said is that you think that sysops have complete or extra say in matters. Everyone has the same say. 22:02, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I half expected the officer to either kill himself right there, or just do his best to kill me.
 * My video should be done within a few days, so I'll send you the link when it's up.
 * AEAE is an important policy for a wiki, but I'm not sure that it's that well known here; especially since the last, and only, real edit to the page was over a year ago. 21:41, 22 August 2009 (UTC)
