Images
Hello Maxwell! I thank you for your image contributions, but I'm afraid that if they are not licensed properly, the will be deleted, as we, and Wikia in general, could get in legal trouble. If you do not know how to license them, I will be glad to do so, but I will need a source. If you got them from the Internet, give me a link, otherwise, please tell me where you got the images. If you do not cooperate they will be deleted. SSDGFCTCT9 (Talk) 18:20, December 19, 2010 (UTC)

Good work
Keep up the good work on those Heroes articles. When you're finished, I'll get some gunboxes and all those bits up on the sections. And by the way, have you got any images for the national army SMGs? They'd be useful for the gunboxes. - 20:54, January 6, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks :D
Thanks for the work on the BFH Christmas Article...one question, where did you get the images? CruzDude  {Talk } {Contributions } 03:31, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Well done
Well, the others seem to have beat me to it, but I just wish to commend you for your image uploads and marvelous work on Battlefield Heroes. I'll try to clean up some of the articles, but I need to know: where are you getting your images? Are you taking them yourself from the game, getting them from a site? Just tell me where, and I can get to licensing them properly. Keep up the good work. SSDGFCTCT9 (Talk) 04:50, January 7, 2011 (UTC)


 * Same thought, great to know what resource you have CruzDude  {Talk } {Contributions } AdminRibbon.pngAwardRibbon.pngUserMonthRibbon.png 05:17, January 7, 2011 (UTC)

Uploads
Thanks for your uploads, they're really useful. Just two tips though: However, I see you've had problems with this before. If you need help, feel free to ask, but maybe it's better to refrain from uploading until you have learnt how to do it properly - 15:26, March 19, 2011 (UTC)
 * You need to type  , not just (EA)
 * You still need to provide a link for where you got them. If you could send me the links then I'll sort them


 * You're still not managing it. If you can't do it properly then don't do it at all. If you need help then ask. In the meantime, unless these images have source links, they WILL be deleted and, given your history, you may be blocked - 15:55, March 19, 2011 (UTC)


 * He gets them for the BFH site itself. SSDGFCTCT9 (Talk) 16:19, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

You were given the 2 warnings above asking you to correct your uploads and not upload any more unless you were willing to bother licensing them, or ask for help at least. I wouldn't have minded doing it for you if you had replied to me, but as far as I can tell you ignored both messages, continuing to upload images without licensing them and not bothering to respond to me as I asked. I had already deleted the photos before SSD provided the source. Either way, they would still need a link to the precise URL, not just the site name, so until that happens, they'll remain deleted.

Now that we've cleared up the image deletions, I've blocked you for 3 days, partly for the images, but mainly for the unacceptable and abusive nature of the post you left on by talk page about half an hour ago - 19:37, March 19, 2011 (UTC)

Apology accepted. First thing to say, wherever possible, images made by yourself are prefered than images from online, especially if they are watermarked. But I presume your images are from the internet, so when uploading them, type   (the squiggly brackets are important) into the description. If you message me a URL link to the page(s) where you found the images, I'm willing to take it from there - 12:37, March 23, 2011 (UTC)

Sniper Rifle Battlefield Heroes
Done. SSDGFCTCT9 (Talk) 03:10, March 26, 2011 (UTC)

Just to confirm...
All of your uploads come from a battlefieldheroes.com, right? If yes, then good, that's sorted. If no, I just need a simple URL hyperlink, then I can sort out the copyright and everyone's happy. - 20:53, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

OK, that's all I need. Thanks for your co-operation. - 21:25, March 27, 2011 (UTC)

RE:
Yeah, they're good. Graphical displays like those you put up work well, as normal stats are sometimes quite complicated.

On a side note, when you create new sections for new games, such as those you made for Battlefield Play4Free, remember to put them at the bottom of the page. We try to keep everything in chronological order, so a game that was released in 2005 will be before a game released in 2011, for example. But keep up the good work, and if you need any help, just remember to ask! - 15:07, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

Your userpage
I restored the image on your userpage, because I could properly license it ;3      15:33, April 10, 2011 (UTC)

BFH Bronze article
Sure man, but you'll have to nominate it here. People will vote on whether to upgrade it or not, as I can't just do it just like that. Good work on the page, though. Looks real nice! 15:50, April 25, 2011 (UTC)

Images
Well done on the BFH articles, Machine gun (Battlefield Heroes) looks sure to be successful as a Bronze article. Sadly, not all of the images you have uploaded recently have been copyright licensed. If you take a look at this page, every image down to and including File:Gunnerbfhlogo.png (17:41, 30 March 2011) - 50 images by my calculations - needs a source link or they will have to be deleted - 17:43, April 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * OK, thanks - 20:50, April 28, 2011 (UTC)
 * Hi Maxwell, can you tell me where you're getting you Battlefield Play4Free images? Or do you make them yourself?  AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 20:33, April 29, 2011 (UTC)

I'm not sure I quite understand what you mean. Can you give an example? - 17:56, April 30, 2011 (UTC)

BFH Stats Images
Umm, it's not necessarily bad, but we have our gunboxes for stats, and seeing as you already put the stats in there, it wouldn't be necessary. And besides, it'd be best to avoid the extra licensing work. 17:25, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, if that thread is where you got those stats, you can add it in the  field of the gunboxes, between a   markup.   AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 20:14, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations

 * Congrats Maxwell! Keep up the great work    AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 20:15, May 3, 2011 (UTC)

BFH weapons prices
Yep, sounds good to me. Good idea. 17:53, May 5, 2011 (UTC)

Hey Maxwell, can you give me the source for the BFH stats images, such as this one? I need to license them, and I can't seem to find them in the sources you gave us already. 14:52, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

I'll also need the source for images like this and this. Thanks. 14:59, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

Thanks for the sources, but the stats one is for Bad Company 2, not Battlefield Heroes. Do you modify them yourself?

As for the prices, I see what you mean. I was thinking maybe a template that could go in its own separate section. I'll get back to you on that one. 18:12, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also gonna need to give me the source for this one and others similar to it.  AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 02:48, May 8, 2011 (UTC)
 * Alright thanks for the sources again. For now, if you want, you can make a table for the prices. I'll try working on a template to make it look better.  AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 16:07, May 8, 2011 (UTC)

More images
Hi Maxwell. I couldn't find some of your recent uploads in some of your sources. Here's the specific list: Can you give me a link to where you go them? 22:30, May 10, 2011 (UTC)
 * File:590Assault.png
 * File:870ShotgunBFH.png
 * File:M-21Winter.png
 * File:M-21Normal.png
 * File:Logo M249 Winter.png
 * File:Tier1 M249.png
 * File:SOF PKM BFH.png
 * File:Fast PKM.png
 * For now, make a table. I'll work on a template for it soon enough. Thanks for the source.  AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 22:57, May 10, 2011 (UTC)

Apologies
OK then. Fair enough. I personally think it looks better in the infobox, but I will restore it for you and you can carry on with tables instead. However, when inserting the table, if you specify the width as 40%, it looks better and doesn't push it down below the infobox - 14:40, May 11, 2011 (UTC)

The sounds are good. I put it a proper placement. I think I'll move the PBR sounds to the M1919 page, seems more fitting. As for the prices, well, I'll be gone for most of next week, so it may be a while before I get a template for it. SO if you really think it impedes in readability of the article, you can take it off. 14:15, May 14, 2011 (UTC)

RE:
They're good, but the captions would probably be better off saying "Patrol Boat River sounds from Battlefield Vietnam" or so on. - 14:13, May 15, 2011 (UTC)

License
Well, I'm pretty sure you know the drill... I'm gonna need the source for this. 02:58, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

Yeah, I'll nominate it for you. You can nominate articles at will here by following the guidelines provided. By the way, I'm still gonna need the link for File:Uncle sam 2.png. 19:54, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

I still need the source for. I'll also need it for the following: 02:00, May 18, 2011 (UTC)
 * File:USReconV.png
 * File:NVA Engineer.png
 * File:Us Engineer.png
 * File:NARecon.png
 * Thank you very much for the sources! Very useful!!!
 * And I'll put in the stats, gimme a sec.  AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 21:15, May 18, 2011 (UTC)

Gonna need the source for File:TEC-9.png. 02:06, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Class Icons
They look great. A nice touch to the infobox

My mistake...
...I need to listen to the whole thing next time, lol. Sorry. Yuri ( Leave a message! ) 21:14, May 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * There's a way to do so, but I've no idea how to. Best to ask SSD or one of the other admins. Yuri ( Leave a message! ) 21:20, May 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * I don't know either... I'll try looking it up.  AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 00:53, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

Stats pictures
They're not that needed. The BFH pics were good because there wasn't a facility in-game where you could actually see them, but in BC2, people can look in the Weapons and Gadgets menu for those. - 16:03, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

ok its not needed ?, it will take little space, and i think most people click in the menu to see stats.

anyway if you look at the vietnam m1 garand tread, the m1 iron sight is hardly visible so i will upload an new one

about the new picture i think that full model render need to be an vietnam are version since it green an forest version of it.

i have an idea in mind that i can record some in game sound an place them beside weapons so people can hear the weapon firing sound.

like i did in hill 137 intro speak

http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/Hill_137

my question is if you may know how to just have the play/volume button current is 43 pixels)Maxwell123 16:13, May 21, 2011 (UTC)

RE:
Ask someone at the Call of Duty wiki. They have a sound thingy (such as on this page... I think) that could help. It creates a sound-only player that's also used on Wikipedia, and that may be the answer to your idea. But if you do decide to use that player, run it through with SSD or Bondpedia, in case they have any objections to it. - 14:52, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

Re: About Sound Play Button
It's not a hard thing to do. First, you need to use Special:Upload and upload the .ogg sound clip to the wiki. Then, you place a link to the file, in this format:. For instance, if I wanted to make the button for File:Test.ogg, I'd place, and it would give me this:. 15:29, May 22, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Template/sound
No, I'm not sure how to go about doing that. The gunboxes for the weapons are difficult to code for, as I'm not experenced much in coding (except for stealing it, like on my userpage, lol), rather than filling out the templates on pages.

But it seems like the sound you posted on Sactage's talk page would work. If you can orient it to be under the gunbox by making it the first thing put after the actual template and orienting it to be on the right, then it would appear under the gunbox when the edit is previewed or you save your changes. 22:30, May 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see what you mean. We do have a similar template called, but as you can see from editing over there at BFH Wiki,  fills in a good deal of the stuff for you on BF Wiki. It would be possible to change the template over to the standard infobox one, but it would mean that you have to fill out both sides of the template. Do-able yes, but time consuming. Other than that, I might be able to figure out how to add a section for the firing sound, but I'm not entirely sure.


 * My only thought to this is do you think it's really necessary to have? I mean, it's interesting to have available, but I'm not sure if we particularly need to have the firing sounds for all of the weapons. 23:12, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

Image copying
According to User:Newboy37 and User:BFH-Wiki, you have allegedly copied images from their respective wikis. Please make a statement based upon your direction of events here. - 08:39, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

Just so you know
I would really, really, really appreciate you learn how to license images yourself. I'm, quite honestly, fed up with copyrighting every single image you upload. I can give you a tutorial, bit from now on, I won't be licensing them for you, which means they'll be unfortunately deleted in time... 23:53, May 23, 2011 (UTC)

License tutorial:
 * 1) Upload a file
 * 2) Press edit
 * 3) Make a section like this according to the Images and Copyright Policy. You should read the whole page ;)

Example for adding licensing templates:

Hope this helps, will try to follow the policy as good as possible myself BFH-Wiki 18:12, May 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Thanks BFH-Wiki. You'll have to make sure you use the correct licensing templates to properly fit the image. When I see what you did here, that's not good since you put in the raw coding. In this case, you should type the following:


 * If you're not sure about what license to use for an image, come ask me and I'll tell you. With time, you'll have them memorised.  AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 19:58, May 25, 2011 (UTC)


 * Furthermore you should do more edits in the source mode, this prevents from copy-pasting unvisible data and help you keeping overview. Activate the source mode by pressing the source button on the top right when editing. BFH-Wiki 07:56, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

License the following images: I've already licensed similar images for you, so you can go here and copy/paste the code.
 * File:KORDHMGP4F.png
 * File:SV98P4FICON.png
 * File:M24ICONP4F.png

Also license these: Same principle as up the previous images, I've already licensed this one,so copy/paste the code.
 * File:RussianTankT90.png
 * File:BC2BlackHawk.png
 * File:BC2MI28.png

Finally, license this one. You've put the source, so go there, and the copyright information is at the bottom of the page. In this case, the copyright is: "Copyright © 2005-2010, Webmaster: Doc67, Eversman". That will go into a Fair template.

I would do these myself, but I need you to learn to license these things one your own. If you need help, come ask. 15:43, May 28, 2011 (UTC)

ogg Player
Well, it's probably browser specific. In Safari and IE, Cortado/Java player is already default, while it isn't in Opera (I use lots of browsers for testing codes and things like this). In this case, I doubt there is any way of setting a default for all browsers. - 14:34, May 26, 2011 (UTC)


 * ps. It's really good to see you making an effort with the image licensing. I also see you're signing your posts, which makes them much easier to follow. And on top of that, you're recent contributions on the sound files and on P4F have been great. You've become a real asset. Well done! - 14:34, May 26, 2011 (UTC)
 * How load is the sound i record, when you press the playbutton (Normal or to hight ?)
 * I like the idea of recording game sounds, but the problem is the background effects, but this isnt an issue in general.Maxwell123 15:47, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

The image was reuploaded here. I did it so we wouldn't have duplicate files. 22:48, May 26, 2011 (UTC)

Vehicle icon pictures.
Remember to license your new uploads... 17:13, May 27, 2011 (UTC)

Maxwell, I really appreciate the work you're trying to do, but you're really going to have to license your newest uploads... I don't want to keep harassing you about it. 02:51, May 30, 2011 (UTC)

Re:
That's dubious to say the least. Who's to say it isn't, for instance, an M2? Йура 20:49, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * How do you know? It could be some future machinegun, for all you know. Like I said, I can't see it, so I'm skeptical that it exists at all. Йура [[file:YuriKaslov - Sig image.gif|15px|link=User talk:YuriKaslov]] 20:53, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

/facepalm/

You aren't understanding what I'm trying to say. BFBC2 is a video game. As such, videogames can resemble, but never truly emulate reality -- and because of that, we cannot say with any certainty, unless confirmed by the developers, if there IS, in fact, an M240 mounted in the coax position. I don't recall any mention in-game or by the developer as to what the coax MGs are. Йура 21:15, May 31, 2011 (UTC)
 * Because what if we're wrong!? What if, after some time, a lead developer of BFBC2 comes out and says to the public, "No, it isn't an M240, it's an M1919 refitted to fire 7.62 mm  rounds"?  Йура [[file:YuriKaslov - Sig image.gif|15px|link=User talk:YuriKaslov]] 21:29, May 31, 2011 (UTC)

SVD stats images
For the purposes of copyright licensing, where did you get File:SVDUSEDStats.png, File:EliteSVDStats.png and File:SVDSniperRifleStats.png? - 17:24, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * So you made them yourself? If so, then that's quite easy to me to license - 17:30, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Good. Thanks. - 17:35, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Well, they all seem OK. Obviously I don't know what they looked like before you edited them, but if you think they look better then that's fine. - 17:47, June 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I see what you mean, the original is clearly unusable. - 18:07, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

Standard
Well, I did it for you, though you don't have to ask. You can just put it yourself, as just about every page requires a classification. 23:48, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

And by the way, you still haven't licensed the images that listed up there like I asked you to... 23:49, June 1, 2011 (UTC)

RE: BC2 Guy
He's fine where you put him. Just dont forget to source the image, lol. 23:47, June 6, 2011 (UTC)

Range
Yeah, that could work. I've been meaning to figure out a way to get the proper range stats in there. Don't forget to license the images, though. 21:30, June 8, 2011 (UTC)

Deleting images
You an't delete images. That's a right disclosed to administrators. What you can do is go to the old file, and go to around the bottom of the page. There should be a link written "Upload a new version of this file", and from there you can submit a new version of the file, without needing to delete the old one. It also keeps a useful history of the files. Try it out with File:LRDamageRange.png, and upload the new version. 21:28, June 12, 2011 (UTC)
