User talk:Callofduty4/Archive 1

Greetings comrade!


Welcome to the Call of Duty Wiki comrade! There's a lot to do around here, so I hope you'll stay with us and make many more improvements.


 * Recent changes is a great first stop, because you can see what other people are editing right this minute, and where you can help.


 * Please sign in, if you haven't already, and create a user name! It's free, and it'll help you keep track of all your edits.


 * Questions? You can ask at the Help desk or on the "discussion" page associated with each article, or post a message on my talk page!


 * Need help? The Community Portal has an outline of the site, and pages to help you learn how to edit.

I'm really happy to have you here comrade, and look forward to contributing with you!


 * Welcome to the wiki! I am sure you will enjoy it here, and hope you will continue to edit.  Excellent work so far on the Prypiat article.  I changed the name.  All you have to do is click the "move" button on the top of the screen to move it to another name.  Also, I touched up the article a little to give it wikia standards (sorry, but credits is not really part of that), however, you did an excellent job on the article.  Also, if you would like to find out who has edited the page, just click "history" on the top bar of the page, and you can also compare edits to see what has been changed.  One last thing, if you are interested in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, just check it out, we have an article on it.  Good work, and welcome!    M/Sgt.

Review
Wow, that is the best and most accurate Call of Duty: World at War review I've ever seen! I agree with you that CoD:WaW is a much better game than CoD4. Not to say [CoD4]] wasn't good; it was and still is an amazing game, but Call of Duty: World at War is far superior in my opinion. You should be a game critic or something. :D   BG.

Please add the proper licensing for image. Otherwise, administrators may be subject to delete it. 11:40, 29 March 2009 (UTC)
 * Hey, I got your image licensed. In the future, remember to license images that you upload. I personally don't care about licenses, but some people here do. Darkman 4 17:18, 29 March 2009 (UTC)

Re:How
To make the user box you want to go to wikia central and create a page called Template:User:Callofduty4 and make the box how you want it, then on you user page for this wiki you do. As for a signatures, tell me what you want and I'll make you one.-- 01:06, 26 April 2009 (UTC)

Your Grenade picture
You'll need to license your grenade picture. Where did you get it? Darkman 4 20:01, 29 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Fine with me. Darkman 4 20:10, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Redirect
To do a redirect, type in #REDIRECT page name. Darkman 4 18:30, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Flammenwerfer 35
Why did you delete the information about the Flammenwerfer in Cod5 I put a lot of work it to that and you also deleted the "Trivia" thing to there was nothing wrong with it, it looked like any other page and plus that was there for a long time I just added a Gunbox for United Offensive made a Trivia thing a History thing and wrote a sentence!!!!!

RE:Something to improve your user page
Heh, just noticed that myself. I will fix that shortly. Thanks for telling me. 22:09, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanks
Thanks for putting my Flammenwerfer stuff back

Re
It is a bug with the crappy new rich text editor. The only way to stop it until they fix the bug is to make the page admins only and even then it is not 100% guaranteed not to happen unless all the admins use the old style of editing.

Votes
Never, EVER, remove a vote again. that was completely retarded and I cannot believe a regular user like you had the balls do to that. Try that again and you'll be on the receiving end of a two-week block.

BTW, his reason was perfectly valid. I can see why he wouldn't want another SAS mission page right after we had one as the previous Featured Article. That doesn't mean I agree with him, though. Darkman 4 10:28, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Weapon Combos talk page
If you feel the need to "vent your anger," then do so on your own page. The public pages (any ones not about the user) are a place for unbiased and supported information. The fact that you kept adding the list of weapons and perks which you felt "required no skill" is proof that you are either immature or unaware of that standard, regardless of how many or who agreed with you. Keep the opinions on your page and the facts on our pages. Epochalyptik 23:51, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

Blocked
You have been blocked for threatening another user here. It is UNACCEPTABLEto tell another user that they will have to do with you if they make another mistake. Did you consider that the user was perhaps make a test edit? Remember that you must always assume good faith. If you have a problem with someone you should take it up with an admin. If you wish respond, you are free to edit your talk page until your block is lifted in 3 days.-- 02:11, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

WHAT? are you joking me? He put I SUCK on my user page! It was not a mistake! It was an act of vandalism! He was not testing anything!! I was trying to be a block-free user! That's screwed up now! Come on! This is so unfair! I didn't even threaten him!!! I can't believe I'm banned! I'm nominated for user of the month! You might as well go right ahead and take me off the nominations page!

Listen, I don't want you to take this the wrong way, you do a great job working around here! But I think you made the wrong decision! Please think this through twice! Check with Darkman4, he can prove Sasiscool vandalized my page. Please see into this!  Callofduty4 |    What ya after?


 * So what? Instead of going out and threatening a vandal, you should've kept to yourself and not written anything on his talk page. It's not like there's an honor system here that says that you can't edit pages if someone insults you and you don't fight back. Darkman 4 06:42, 18 July 2009 (UTC)


 * After reviewing the evidence of your temper posted by Darkman on the user of the month page I am extending your block to 1 week. We have overlooked this for far to long.-- 14:34, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Warning
Just as an FYI, I've overlooked your emotional outbursts in the past because I felt you were a good contributor. However, now that Rs has banned you for it, I'm going to be much less lenient than before. The next time you do something like insult a user or claim that his/her opinion is not valid, then you will be banned for a week. Darkman 4 06:42, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

yeah you're right. I feel pretty stupid now. Oh well, might as well take it as a man.  Callofduty4 |    What ya after?

Oh BTW, did you have to publicly insult me on the user of the month page? I did not actually have a nervous breakdown on the Call of duty wiki talk: call of duty 4 custom weapon combos page. but, I understand, sometimes I can be pretty stupid and immature.  Callofduty4 Contribs    What ya after?  11:55, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

Final note
Okay I agree with you. Let's drop this argument, I have to pay my time for the crime. After 1 week, I hope things can get back to normal. I'm sorry for the problems and inconveniences I have caused. Thanks, <font color="Green"> Callofduty4 Contribs   <font color= "Blue"> What ya after?  02:29, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

Oh by the way, not to be a snitch or anything, but some guy called JoeRamirez removed a decent amount of content from the Talk:Modern Warfare 2 page. As I'm blocked, I can't post this anywhere else!!! I hope this can help you with something =/ <font color="Green"> Callofduty4 Contribs   <font color= "Blue"> What ya after?  02:36, 19 July 2009 (UTC)

A request
Can someone post this to the user of the month page? I know I'm blocked but I think this is worth it

==Cod1==

I nominate Cod1 for user of the month. He has gone from an unrecognized user to a regular editor in the space of 2 months. He is a valuable member of the community, as he constantly posts intelligent comments on talk pages and improves a lot of articles too. He does have a very large edit count, and the edits he makes make a big difference. One of his new "projects" includes welcoming users. I wish you the best of luck. Callofduty4

Support as nominator. Callofduty4

If this is not allowed because I am banned I understand. It probably isn't.

h

I put the request in the user of the month page thanks for nominating me. 20 July 2009 23:46 (UTC)

i knew it wouldn't be allowed. It's ok: If/When I get unbanned I'll nominate you. Sorry BigM and Cod1 <font color="Green"> Callofduty4 Contribs   <font color= "Blue"> What ya after?

Battleship Tirpitz
This page has been vandalized by I.P 90.200.48.195!

WTF
Why the heck is there a Der Riese picture on every CoD5 campaign level?

It's not only on the Cod5 levels; I also found one in the "Game Over" page.

Random Man 0213 20:05, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

lol! that could be classed as vandalism  Callofduty4     Ask me anything!   15:55, 18 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Some moron put the picture ON THE LEVEL INFOBOX TEMPLATE, which made it appear on every page that used it. Darkman 4 22:28, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Don't worry I got rid of it.

Some people are crazy. Callofduty4    Ask me anything!   15:55, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Re: Shi No Numa RFA Comments
Consider this a warning. The comments you made while striking out that user's vote were inappropriate and were removed. I was tempted to block you, even permanently, for this infraction, but I will merely issue a warning. First of all, you are not an admin, so please do not go about stiking out other user's votes, whether they are "invalid" or not. Second of all, as I mentioned before, your comments about the user were useless and unhelpful. Always remember what a wiki is, and that no user has some "rank" over another user. Just because you have more edits, or have been here longer, means nothing when you go and diss another user. When you do that, you are turning away wiki members potentially more useful than yourself. A wiki should be a welcoming place to any new members, and any member who is counter-productive to that goal will have no place in a wiki, and becomes disposable. I have noticed a trend in many wikis, but especially this wiki, for members to think "rank", "status", or "edit count" is a great thing, and simply, it is not. In closing, if an infraction such as this happens again, you will be blocked without a minutes notice. Please respond to this message on my talk page, I eagerly await your response. 06:33, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Actually, a prior block would give me all the more reason to block you over something like that. Only this block might be permanent.  It does not appear that you have "learned your lesson", since you continue to act pompously and arrogantly against other users.  I believe this is why you were blocked in the first place - in part because you went around putting how invalid other people's choices were on the CoD:WaW and CoD:4 Weapon Combo pages.  I think one of the best things you could do now would be to "serve some time" per se, by welcoming new users and helping out ones who need it.  This would show your willingness to be helpful in this community.   15:44, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Cool, I'm glad to see you're ready to help. Seeya around.   23:25, 26 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Please ignore the above, the comment you made had already been dealt with. Also what he said about you not being able to strike out votes is incorrect. All users can remove a vote if it does not have the minimum edit requirement.-- 23:50, 26 July 2009 (UTC)

Fine with me. I'm still happy to help with welcoming new users, though.

Hello, yes it was helpful, I am learning more about how this Wiki operates and how things should be. Critchell 15:12, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

Thank you, it's the holidays so i haven't much else to do. Custom Signature? - Critchell 01:25, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Blue background, white text? I'm from scotland.

The blue is fine,but if it'll look better darker then if it's not too much inconvenience i wouldn't mind checking it out. Also, do whatever you feel is best, i don't want to mess anything up. - Critchell 01:41, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

I prefer the darker blue, is it your birthday? i will also leave soon, i should probably be sleeping. Critchell 01:55, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

thank you for your help also, i'm going to sleep now, enjoy your cake. <font style="background:darkBlue">  Critchell   Talk

User talk pages
Its not an official rule, but I think its a good idea to keep everything on a talk page. Darkman 4 01:07, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Reply
I don't really know how to give credit to it. All I can say is IGN.com

It wasn't naturally a photo, I extracted from the trailer.

Another reply
I did that. I didn't understand most of them so I clicked the unknown option. Then I was warned by you.

User welcomes
I forgot to tell you this, but when you put the welcome template on a user's talk page, try to mark it as a minor edit. This allows admins to ignore it while they're doing anti-vandal checks.

If you forget to do this, you won't be in trouble. :) Admins can find vandalism without having to ignore welcome messages, but doing so makes it a little bit easier. Darkman 4 02:15, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Tank Dempsey
The info you deleted wasn't a fanon. It was from the Call of Duty: World at War HQ when Treyarch did biographies of the characters. Link is here: <font color= "Khaki">CirChris -<font color= "DarkOliveGreen">Here <font color= "DarkSlateBlue">to <font color= "Tomato">help! 02:23, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

Titles
The rule is that there are no titles. Having character titles for every chracter makes searching for a specific character annoying and makes it hard to find a specific character on the category pages. Darkman 4 04:35, 31 July 2009 (UTC)

voting
You can vote for a new admin callofduty4.

~
Just polity tell them to add in in the future on the talk page. If you want, I can make a template, but not right now. If you feel like it, you can make one yourself. Darkman 4 18:01, 4 August 2009 (UTC)

page titles
how do you change page titles, or is it just admins that can do that? got it <font style="background:darkBlue">  Critchell   Talk 16:48, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

AHHHHHHHH?!
What did you do? Your signature? It's got the SS lightning bolts again! It makes me think you're some kind of neo-nazi, and I know you're a good guy, but if I was new here, that would be like the first sign of trouble! I think you should go back to your old one, or get rid of the flag.It would just look more decent. I mean, I can't stop you, but being born Jewish, it just...brings back bad memories. 19:59, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Well, I didn't really mean on my account, I'm just saying, people could get the wrong impression. Thanks though, means a lot. :) 20:13, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

No, no! I said you would look like one if you kept it! I'm not calling you anything, don't worry! 20:26, 13 August 2009 (UTC)

Eh, looking back, I made kind of a big deal over nothing. you're a good guy, I know you're no neo-nazi. And, it's a free country, I should've let you exercise those rights by just saying nothing. You do whatever you want to your sig, as long as you're not some kind of white supremacist, it's no problem of mine (although, BigM? He's pretty much stepping over the limit). Sorry for the mess. 20:16, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Shit like this is why i don't have a custom signature. Darkman 4 20:22, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Re: Steven le
Yes, it is breaking Wikia's policy. You must be 13 to have an account.-- 08:19, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:
No, I'm trying to update it.-- 08:36, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Meh, I'll just tell em to cry me a river, build a bridge, and get the fuck over it.-- 08:42, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Ranks
I would like the outer color to be red and the words to be Blue and i want my rank to be Sargeant. Sgt. Wikiwikiwikiwikioldschool has a nice ring to it now doesn't it.

It is perfect.--Wikiwikiwikiwikioldschool 16:58, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

RE: Poll
I liked it too, but I thought it could be better. The way it was written sounded to me as if it was under the impression that people would have either already pre-ordered it, or weren't going to get the game at all. I just figured it could use some more options. And, hey, better that I changed it on the day that it was made than later on in the week. 19:26, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Re:Rollback
I guess I can give you rollback-- 19:28, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Acting like an admin
I've been meaning to talk to you about this for a while; stop acting like an admin. You've been deleting stuff on the trivia pages that actually qualifies as trivia with the listed reason "Who cares". I also consider things like ordering others around (like by putting the "Please sign your comments!" note on top of the MW2 talk page without an admin's permission) to be acting like an admin. Darkman 4 19:58, 14 August 2009 (UTC)


 * I know you're trying to help, but IMO you're overstepping your boundaries as a regular user. Darkman 4 20:03, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
