Battlefield 3 Clean Up:DLC
We all know the BF3 Page is cluttered Ranger, so as a started to help clean it up, should we removed the DLC section? Alone it takes up around a quarter of the page and needs fixing. I recommend that we replace all the text with Links to the articles themselves, i mean thats why they were made, no need to clutter the BF3 page with it right? I should have done this when i added the section in the first place.

Update: Did what i stated above to the DLC except for the Promotional offers and class short cuts bringing me to this. Should we now condense these sections (not much room for improvement) or make respective articles for them and replace the content on the BF3 page to these new articles? awyman13  {Talk } {Work } 23:51, May 13, 2013 (UTC)

BF3 Clean Up: Campaign/CO-OP
Now that The DLC Clean up is done, we need to do it to the campaign and coop sections. The Co-op we can just removed and provide links to the missions articles. For the campaign, we can summarize the 'summary' better. You Game? awyman13  {Talk } {Work } 02:18, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

BF3 Clean Up Almost Done So I Propose...
The clean up is basically done, though some sections could be condensed more. All thats left is the Singleplayer section and the glitches and bugs section. I can NOT condense the single player section by myself so i need help. For the glitches and bugs i propose we create a 'Battlefield Glitches and Bugs' article. Both BF3 and BC2 have these sections (as i added them years ago) so we could make a page detailing the bugs by game, including older games. It would reduce alot of clutter, especially the BF3 and BC2 pages. So what do ya think? awyman13  {Talk } {Work } 04:01, May 14, 2013 (UTC)

BF3 CO-OP section
I see what your saying but it would be very hard to summarize the Coop as a whole. Not all missions are directly related (besides the fire-team itself) and do not give specifics on what order they would be in. I think its better to just summarize the mode as a whole and provide links to the mission pages that actual detail them without cluttering, like i did. Just Hear me out man -- awyman13  {Talk } {Work } 02:10, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

This really necessary?
Is this over boosting necessary? http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Boosting. Everyone knows what it is, why do we need an article over it? I proposed its moved to Canadites for Deletion. -- awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 03:57, May 15, 2013 (UTC)

Battlefield 4 Plans?
Hey there 3RDRANGER!

My name is Jorge and I am on Wikia's Community Development team. With Battlefield 4 on the immediate horizon (sometime this fall, barring any release delays), I thought I would reach out to some of your wikis admins about offering our time to help you out around the wiki and see what you might have planned for launch. (To that end, I'm copying PresidentEden, Maxwell, and Yuri on this message).

We've actually been in touch with EA recently and I think they would love to work with you all on stuff. This could potentially mean asset drops for the game, beta access, etc. For now though, we're just curious if you have any things planned around the wiki for launch? Is there anything we can help you with in particular to prepare for launch? Is there anything you would want to work with EA on or get from them if possible? Of course we can't make any promises, but we might as well know and try, right?

Oh, also, I noticed you all have a Facebook and Twitter feed specifically for the wiki. If you like, we'd love to help out and keep those feed posting a bit more regularly, especially since you all seem to cover news pretty well. We can also improve their look too!

Anyway, hopefully some of this sounds interesting! If you have any insight, ideas, etc., just let me know by leaving me a message on my talk page!

Best, Jorge (profile)•(talk) 21:44, May 17, 2013 (UTC)

Trusted User Request
I've been on the Wiki for almost 3 years now, and though almost a year of that was inactive, ive been a helpful member of the community. Since, i know ya the best, i want to request to be a trusted user. Just think it over for me man, talk to the other admins. If not, then i'll just work harder toward it. <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 03:12, May 20, 2013 (UTC)

My Proposal
We both know many popular maps are put in new games in the Series like Wake Island. Many are featured in the same article like the maps from BF2 that are in BF3. So y, i ask, are there separate articles for maps versions of maps like Iwo Jima and Wake Island? Wake Island 2014, for instance, is in a separate article like Wake Island 2142, etc. Been talkin to the other admins to see what they think so let me know -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 02:00, May 21, 2013 (UTC)

To everyone who was involved, i want to say im sorry. I have no idea why i put in the Admin part, knowing it would never happen. Guys, i am truly sorry and didnt mean to offend anyone. Lets just put the Admin part behind us. No hard feelings Yuri. -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 07:05, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

Re:
Added you :3 Юра  01:50, May 23, 2013 (UTC)

Hello
Me and Yuri have talked a little about who we think deserve TU, we concluded This Man was fit for the job. As he has no record of bad behavoir, has a perfect record, and arguebly has a VERY large mainspace edits (me and yuri estimated that 95 percent of his edits where mainspace while the 5% was talk pages) understands persian fluently and does know what most of the PLR NPC are saying.

In total he's a near perfect editor with no bad history, never goes on blogs and does very well with other editors (mostly yuri and me)

BF Wikia Backround and Layout
With BF4 releasing soon, should we change the Wikias backround, layout etc? You know use the BF4 cover art and color scheme. I mean thats what we did with BF3 years ago. I dont anything about how thats done, just voicing my opinion. -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 20:58, May 24, 2013 (UTC)

Vandalism
I already informed Slopijoe about this, but seeing that you are active right now, I thought I'd let you know about this guy who decided to remove an entire page and replace it with an explicit word. I reverted the edit as soon as I saw it, is there any further action necessary? Just wondering, thanks! <font size="2.0">  PLR Soldier  صحبت  01:30, June 4, 2013 (UTC)

BF3 for Gold
Nominated BF3 for Gold yet many have overlooked it. What do you think of it? -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 23:28, June 4, 2013 (UTC)

Hey
Would you mind holding off on the battle rifle category for a bit? I don't think the term is ever used per se in any of the games, and hence I don't think it's appropriate to have it as a category.
 * For the moment, yeah.

Veteran Nomination
You've been apart of the Wikia for almost two years and have worked your ass off. Im happy to annouce i've taken the liberty to nominate you for the Veterans Award! -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 01:14, June 6, 2013 (UTC)

Can You Delete This?
I created this page - Battle Rifle  - as i also created the Pistol and Carbine pages. This one, however, i now realize that Battle Rifle is more of a collective name and thats the guns that make it up are really Carbines, Assault Rifles, etc. As such could you delete it? Also the term is used in earlier installments in the Battlefield Series so could we just replace the 'Battle Rifle names with their actual firearm type (to end any confusion), yet still tell how the game calls them that. <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 02:44, June 7, 2013 (UTC)

Did you forget
That leaked content is illegal and we are not allowed to use or link to it? Юра 19:50, June 9, 2013 (UTC)
 * You posted it as news, which is by default not supposed to be subjective, and furthermore you still linked to it, which is also disallowed. I've gone ahead and deleted it because it will doubtless encourage ignorant people to keep re-adding it to pages.

Invitation
Like to invite you yo to The |The Crew Wikia, a wikia i created after the watching the Ubisoft Press Confrence. It about an open world racing game that takes place all across the US. Four players make a Crew and they can come together to race, pull hiests etc. Maybe you can help me set the Wikia up. -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 23:04, June 10, 2013 (UTC)

BF4 Specialisations
I think we should set up templates, categories and possible pages for some specialisations.

We can start of with just the basic ones, such as zoom optics, coaxial lmg and such.

How about you?

Good Idea, You misspelled Specializations however :P -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 23:11, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

Ah, sorry, UK spelling, fix it if you need to.

I think this goes without saying, but be absolutely sure that any given specialization is actually 100% confirmed in-game; remember that this is not the place for speculation, so be conservative. 23:18, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

They are in the game. You could see the icons next to player names. No Specific ones have been confirmed however. -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 23:20, June 11, 2013 (UTC)

BC1 & BC2 Multiplayer pages
The pages Battlefield: Bad Company Multiplayer and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 Multiplayer are not only cluttered and unorganized, they need to be deleted and put back into their respective pages. No other installments have separate multiplayer pages, they dont need one. The pages describe in detail the games maps, gametypes, etc. and we cant have that. They have their own articles for a reason and is also why we used templates to list them.

A Plea for Resurrection
<p style="margin-bottom:1em;margin-top:0px!important;">Hi there,

It seems like an eternity now, but about 13-14 months ago, we became affiliated wikis.

I now send this plea to you and your users:

Our wiki is dying and in desperate need of help. It seems I'm the only Admin there willing to do something about it.

I ask only that you refer some of your editors, preferably ones who know about all the achievements, to Cheevo.

I am sorry to bother you.

Regards,

Specializations Combining
Many specializations function in a similar or identically to others so shouldnt we combine them? It doesnt exactly matter if they have different names as the article could be named the latest variation. Many BF3 & BF4 specializations were based on those from Bc2 so they should be combined. --  <font style="color:Green">awyman13  <font style="color:black">Talk  <font style="color:Silver">Work 23:33, August 19, 2013 (UTC)

OK. I just need you to delete pages i mark for deletion. I choose to delete some newer specs i made for BF4 as well so as to merge it to an older page. As such i cant use the names of the BF4 articles for older ones until they're deleted.  <font style="color:Green">awyman13  <font style="color:black">Talk  <font style="color:Silver">Work 00:55, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

Mmmm. Aparently i still cant change the names as i am not an admin. EXPL needs to be changed to MORE DEPLOYED EXPLOSIVES,Ceramic Body Armor needs to be changed to ARMOR, etc. Im also in the process of combing vehicle specializatons too so ill let ya know. --  <font style="color:Green">awyman13  <font style="color:black">Talk <font style="color:Silver">Work 02:17, August 20, 2013 (UTC)

ACE variants
Many pages on variants of the weapon are being created so my question is if the all the variants are going to be in BF4. Many variants are extremely similar so people may be getting confused when creating these.
