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.

Re: My new account
Will do. If you like, I can turn your old userpage into a redirect to your new one. 23:19, February 18, 2010 (UTC)

Ok
Ok I will but I am usually very busy getting these pictures.AdvancedRookie 19:42, February 21, 2010 (UTC)

Videos
Hey, I made it smaller. What you do is hit source where everythings turn into code, scroll down to the video and it'll say numberpx, just lower the number down to something lower so it fits in. Removing it can count as vandalisim.

Then why did you erase it? Machinama's are good because they show the weapon in use. Erasing them for no good reason is vandalsism.

New Wikia
You said that you and Wilding are creating a new wikia. If you tell me what it is called, I would be happy to help out. Lt.  Dunn   22:48, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

Alright, I'm going to take a look at it and see if I can give some help. Lt.  Dunn   23:00, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

I would if I were you. Lt.  Dunn   23:04, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

I don't really know. Ask Chia. He might know. Lt.  Dunn   23:19, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Background
I'm assuming it can be done via some MediaWiki page, but there are hundreds of them and I do not know which. Try asking Joeyaa; he should know. 23:27, March 21, 2010 (UTC)

For helping out the BARLs page. The page has actually has a problem with new users putting the userbox down a few spaces, so it interferes with the nest heading.

No actually, I haven't. Sgt.   Dunn  20:08, June 13, 2010 (UTC)

Those are pretty sick. How'd you get them is such a high resolution and high quality? 01:08, June 17, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Steam
Yes it is. 18:28, June 28, 2010 (UTC)

What is the year
That your story is talking place in, you said during the cold war so before I choose my weapon I need to know when this is taking place.

Oh and another question, will all the characters put out on the blog be in the story? 00:21, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Is it okay if I use a picture of myself or does it have to be a black Ops character? I based Damian Shields on myself as it's not easy coming up with a character out of the blue, haha. Brennan is a completely made up character though. 05:58, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

You still haven't responded to the above, but I guess Brennan can use a Colt.45 right? 21:12, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

So it can be from anyother game as long as it has something to do with war? 21:32, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

AH! I can't upload my characters photo, maybe you can do it. My character is Swift from Black Ops and the description of the photo is "Damian 'Stretch' Shields". My guns I'll upload them after this. DARN TECHNOLOGY! 21:50, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

No Problem
No Problem, Your userpage is like any other and I find that edits don't mean anything. Well except how much you research and stuff. BravoAlphaSix 01:15, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

Adminship
First let me start with a quote from your RFA, which you have hopefully seen by now.

"Strong Oppose - What? Why nominate for an RfA now? I haven't seen you much, your editcount is way way low. I don't think you'll ever become one now. 07:11, June 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Comment - Wow, Devil. What an unnecessarily mean and stupid thing to say. If failing RFAs was all it took to never become an admin, I don't think anyone would be in a worse position than you. Alex, it's not that nobody likes you. In fact, I've looked through some of your contributions and you seem to be a fine fellow. However, what you have done for the wiki is only a small fraction of what it takes to prove to the community that you can handle adminship. Adminship isn't about liking or disliking people. It's about confidence in their dedication and integrity. Now, I know that a few people might jump down my throat for bringing up edit count, but I'm just going to say that I never expect to see any more users with edit counts below 1,500 become admins, and even 1,500 would be pretty low for an admin. Imrlybord7 07:44, June 30, 2010 (UTC)"

Then let me say that adminship is reserved for only the most responsible, dedicated, civil, active, and thoughtful users. I don't know you well enough to say if you could be an admin in the future, but making you an admin now would be like the Yankees drafting a middle school student. Imrlybord7 04:01, July 1, 2010 (UTC)

This statement has shown me that you really don't understand that adminship is nothing to be so upset about, it's simply a set of tools to use towards improving this wiki, and while thus far I don't know much about you, you seem to be a fairly good editor. However I'd like to point out that as of yet you're still extremely new on this account, and your editcount technically disqualifies you from adminship according to current requirements (however this is being revised).

One More thing
Who put up Cpl. Baker as a character? Bumblebeeprime09 Talk Blogs 04:29, July 2, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Anything Else?
Hey thanks AMR, but can you make a short 'Professional" bio of his DOB,Past factions, and any thing you wanna tweak in.

RE: Anything else?
You can becasue im going to make my story colide with TF141's attack on Makarov's safehouse. Either way, Different factions lead to more stories, well not all the time.

Question
Is there a limit to the number of characters we can put into your story? 05:37, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Your welcome. Too many snipers! 06:24, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Not really, as long as I save him and later on he returns the favor because someone tries to stab me. 17:52, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Okay, so do I get to save someone who will save me. 18:27, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Are we allowed to add pictures to the Chapter one section? Yes I've seen it. 18:31, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Just wanted to add my character going through the tunnel taking point. 18:38, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Oops, sorry. I just now read the first chapter. 18:44, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

And i'll be taking point! No stabbing me though right? 18:49, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

So can we make Snake get attacked and someone save him? Still curios. 18:59, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Alright! But can you mention that I got a promotion a while back in a previous battle? I'd LOVE that too! 20:08, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Oh and one more thing,aside the above, what team is Snake in? You mentioned him in chapter 1 as being in the boat with us but in Chapter 2 you said you could have sworn it was Snake or Ghost. Is he with us? 20:16, July 4, 2010 (UTC)

Can you get on the IRC now? 01:16, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

I'm on and getting bored listening to everyone else's conversations. 01:34, July 5, 2010 (UTC)

Black kit
Ok, I'll have a look for another image. :) Lozza U T C

Awesome, looks good! I can't wait for Chapter two! Also can you make my character die in an awesome way. I.e Sacrifices himself for the rest of the squad? Lozza U T C

Gah! Ok I'll try to find another image. :) Lozza U T C

GAH!!
I can't find an image!!!! Help me!! Or someone else could....

Killerkitten 16:38, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Well, the thing is, I don't really know how to fing a picture... Every time I try to add a pic, I always get "recent photos" or this page, and this page has nothing on it. So if there is anything to do to assist with that, I would be welcome.

And about the Pimp my Gun, I found a way to get around it. If I get it centered in the screen and press "print screen" on my keyboard, I can put it on Paint, take out the computer screen, and do a whole lot of other things with it.

If you could find a link to a random U.S. Marine pic, that would be great. I think that my character would be a pretty good addition, if you read my sign up post.

Killerkitten 17:39, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

It's perfect!!! Thanks a whole lot!!! I am actually a Sub-Machine-Gunner in my WWII story that I will be writing soon!!!

So, I just click it and that's it?

Killerkitten 17:57, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

I know I've been asking a lot of you lately, but if you could just take a minute or two to upload the picture, that would be nice.

I'll upload the guns.

Killerkitten 18:08, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Thanks. :) How do you like my Enhanced M16A1?

Killerkitten 18:21, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Cool, that's fine.

Killerkitten 18:29, July 3, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I think I'm changing my Rank to Corporal because everybody has an insanely high rank at an unnaturally young age. I would have chosen Sergeant, but I don't like the idea of a Sergeant who likes to dick around with enemy weapons.

Dude, I got an idea for your story, since team 3's boat was overturned (aka, KIA), how about half your story be a prequel to that even of Chapter 1, and have the other half decsribing the vents after the landing? Tell me what you think. And I would suggest changing the year of the story if you're gonna take my idea because 1968 is too early. Codfan 02:17, July 4, 2010 (UTC)Codfan

World War 2 Fanfic
I heard you mention somewhere about maybe working on a World War II fan-fiction story. It just so happens that I'm working on a historical-fiction WW2 novel myself. If you feel up to it, maybe after the Black Ops Fanfic is done, we could work together on it. You could handle the sign ups (I'm positively horrible at that, plus, you'd probably get a whole lot more people because of the BO popularity), and I'll do the story. If you wnt to talk about it, leave a message on my talk page.

Killerkitten 02:55, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Actually, lets do something that should have been done in earlier COD's. Just U.S. But European AND Pacific. My historical fiction takes place in the Pacific, so I would like to do that. However, you could do the European Campaign. There's, like, 7 different COD games to look at for research. Do you like that idea?

Killerkitten 04:05, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

If it's all the same to you, Pacific. Now, do you want a character of you in the story? Would you want it to be your BO character's father?

Killerkitten 04:44, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

K. Well, I need some shut-eye so...I guess we can talk about it tomorrow. But remember, we shouldn't do it until your Black Ops is done. But we can sure talk about it.

Killerkitten 05:08, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Ok.

Killerkitten 05:14, July 13, 2010 (UTC)

Re:Fanfics
Im not sure, i only say this because i was writing my second fanfic (The zombie one) with Infected32, and i haven't heard from him, so it is one reason my fanfic writing has come to a temporary halt. But other than that, I would like to! I also have an Idea. We should write the tf141 fanfic that happens after loose ends that you said you were going to write. I am probably going to finish mine on my own, and then I am writing AT's story, and for that one, i am not taking any characters, and i am definitely writing that one by myself. But your loose ends fanfic seems okay. I figured you weren't going to start working with authors in the middle of your black ops fanfic.

PS, sorry for the spam on your blogs. <font size="3" font style="background:blue" color=white>Bumblebeeprime09 Talk Blogs 05:49, July 13, 2010 (UTC)
