Battlefield Activity
I just found some stats provided by Wikia saying this wiki has had a 193% increase of readership recently. Doc.  Richtofen  09:53, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

It sure does. Doc.  Richtofen  16:40, April 1, 2010 (UTC)

Just So You Know...
From tomorrow, I'm going to be in France with no connection for a week or so. Just thought I'd let you know I won't be helping, keep this wiki in pristine condition for me won't you... Doc.  Richtofen  19:39, April 4, 2010 (UTC)

Sorry for bothering
Are you sure you don't wanna call the task force back in? There have been no edits for like 3 hours. It's your call or the other guy who's the admin. Codfan 07:54, April 5, 2010 (UTC)Codfan

Yeah, even I'm beginning to notice. I'm going to start editing now, but I haven't had the time to do my edits and seeing the 'edited 13 hours ago' worries me... But even then, we never said 'GTFO' to the Task Force. They can come back and make edits as they please. SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 13:50, April 5, 2010 (UTC)

Earlier Battlefield Titles
I might be able to get my hands on Battlefield 2142 and I could add some info about weapons and stuff. Do you know if there's still a good amount of people playing? Also, do you know of any singleplayer in Battlefield 1942 or Battlefield Vietnam? SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 16:38, April 6, 2010 (UTC)


 * I mean like a singleplayer campaign in either game. Battlefield 1942 and Battlefield Vietnam are old games and would be hard to find in a store... Although I don't encourage illegal acts, I could download them, for my own personal amusement and for the knowledge of the Wiki, but only for singleplayer, if there is any. That's where my question lies. SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 00:37, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
 * Know anywhere that might still sell it? Downloading it is worthless, since there's rarely ever MP included in downloads, but I'd gladly buy it somewhere... SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 15:03, April 8, 2010 (UTC)

Dog Tags
Hey, uhm. This is Stockholm, I'm kind of clueless on how to talk on here, I'm still new to the whole Wiki thing, so I'll leave it here. I got it directly from the Wikipedia page, please wikipedia.org "Dog tags" to see it, I also got most of the first paragraph from there, I was going to Reference it, but I had no idea how to do that, with the little [1] and stuff. I'm kind of just guessing on most stuff I do on here, so excuse me if I mess anything up along the way of my learning curve. anyways, just send me a message back or add me on XBL: OMGaPokemonz PFC.Stockholm 20:27, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

Also, I have a question.
How do I get the M1 Garand? Like, I've played multiple battlefield games, but don't understand how to get it. I've played Battlefield 1942 and all of it's expansions, Battlefield Vietnam and BF:BC2, is there anyway I can get it with just those? PFC.Stockholm 20:40, April 6, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Logo
Hi Bondpedia. I used Photoshop to make the logo. If you don't have it, GIMP is a good, free alternative. The font is Bebas. To get WIKI to look like BATTLEFIELD, I did a lot of copying from the inside of the BATTLEFIELD letters, then select the inside of the WIKI letters and use 'paste into' until I filled the inside of all the letters. Then I finished it off with a stroke and drop shadow. JoePlay ( talk ) 18:11, April 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well done! JoePlay ( talk ) 18:24, April 7, 2010 (UTC)

!!!
Hey, I just remembered that in Bad Company's multiplayer, I could take in-game screenshots of myself playing! I could get plenty of images from the game and they'd all be my own! Fantastic, no? SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 14:04, April 8, 2010 (UTC)


 * In fact, just look over here: http://badcompany.ea.com/gallery/. It's filled with images taken by other players, but I'm not entirely sure if they're copyrighted or not, so I sent an E-mail to EA and we'll see if it's alright. If it is, I think we found all or images for Bad Company :D SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 14:19, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * No problem. I'll make sure to do that. They said they'd reply in 24 hours or so. Until then, well, I'm going to try to take some of my own images. SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 14:30, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * Well, I took an image of most of the MGs and a vehicle or two from Bad Company. My only hope now is that the image uploading service is still functioning, since the images I haven't chosen to 'Save' seem to be constantly loading... --SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 19:08, April 8, 2010 (UTC)
 * So, I've forwarded the response from EA. They use some really fancy wording, so I really don't understand very well... SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 14:18, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Oh goody! We'll be getting a bunch of images soon! Also, question. The image I have posted on the M16 Assault Rifle, the one labeled File:BFBC M16.jpg, article happens to be myself playing. Does that categorize as a 'Self' license or this new license, since I got it from the site? SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 14:31, April 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it was taken by myself, but using the in-game screenshot feature from the game, which uploads it to the site (where it lists my images in a separate gallery) and I took it from there. SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 14:41, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

Well, I got my images uploaded, unfortunately, only 9 of them are uploaded at a time, so I didn't get all the ones I wanted, but I got notable the M60, XM8 LMG, MG36 9M133 Kornet and the BMD all from Bad Company in picture. I'll upload them later. SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 03:04, April 16, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Footer
Yep, there is a way to display that type of message. First, there's an extension that has to be enabled by Wikia Staff, which I did. Then you'll need to copy the message to MediaWiki:Custom-footer. The message will display at the bottom of every page, below the spotlight images and Wikia links. See Phineas and Ferb as an example. JoePlay ( talk ) 18:58, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

DEathGod65
That was an accident, i was logging in through another computer and i accidently put a capital G and didn't realize it immeadiately DEathgod65 OMGWTFBBQ! 11:32, April 15, 2010 (UTC)

RE:Administrator
Thank you for your kind words. I feel that it is not my decision to whether I become an administrator or not, rather that of the community. If I am to be nominated for the position of Adminship, I accept. Doc.  Richtofen  15:25, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Request For...
Some pages on the Forum such as the requests for admin page I believe have been placed inconveniently. On the Call of Duty Wiki, it has it's own article just like the Community Portal here. There is also: a Requested Featured Article, User of the Month (I don't recommend this here yet), Requests For Adminship as well as others. Follow the following links to learn more, or contact this man for any further questions.

The Links You'll Need:
 * Requests For Adminship
 * For User of The Month
 * For Featured Articles

There you are. Hope this helps. Doc.  Richtofen  15:55, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

I just think they'll be sustainable. Plus I find it will look more messy. Doc.  Richtofen  20:27, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Adminship Questions
I do not get what question four means. Could you explain please? Doc.  Richtofen  20:57, April 19, 2010 (UTC)

Ok. As a little notice for you, you haven't actually supported my nomination. I am only saying this because you said you would support on my talk page. Doc.  Richtofen  15:36, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Also, this wiki does not have a "Voting" template. I shall create one. Doc.  Richtofen  15:41, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Support:

Neutral/Pending:

Oppose:

Ta da! Doc.  Richtofen  16:31, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

RE: PGB
I was merely responding to his exortatation that I "burn in hell". I'm done speaking to him, and there'll be no further issues here between me and him. His background is that he's a malignant troll who was impersonating a combat veteran when I arrived and has plagued our wiki for months with horrid flamebaiting, hate speech, sockpuppetry, intolerance, and a general lack of positive contributions to anything. After a number of warning blocks and last chances, I perma-banned him the other day, and he's continuing to spam the talk of our users. --  Griever0311   17:56, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

The PGB Issue
I see you want the full story. Griever is currently quite, annoyed to say the least, with PGB. While I may not be able to give you whole story, I will give you a list of names you may want to check on: That's the list, leave a message on their talkpages. If they have contributed here, leave the message here. If they have not, do so on the CallofDutyWiki. The latter only apply's for: Chiafriend, Saint and Bovell. I hope this helps you. Doc.  Richtofen  18:13, April 20, 2010 (UTC)
 * Griever0311 (Already been contacted)
 * Peter Griffen Boy (Already Contacted)
 * Chiafriend12 (Bureaucrat)
 * Darkman 4 (Bureaucrat)
 * SaintofLosAngelesXD(m) (Bureaucrat)
 * Callofduty4 (Highly Involved in Issue)
 * Bovell (Quite Impartial)

Yeah, the issue does bring curiosity. Especially one that has escalated as way out of proportion as the PGB case. Doc.  Richtofen  18:33, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

RE: Griever
is a U.S. Marine. PGB lied about being a Marine. I know we have to hold users to standards, but I am more than willing to turn a blind eye to Griever's abusing of him outside of the CoD Wiki (he's an admin on the CoD Wiki, so it wouldn't really be acceptable there). I guess that makes me a loose cannon cop on the edge who doesn't play by the rules. Sorry. Imrlybord7 19:34, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Don't worry about it, it's no problem at all. I was just posting on the CoD Wiki in response to your consultation of some of our other admins since that took place on the CoD Wiki, but I was actually responding to what was happening over here on this wiki. From now on I'll just message you on this wiki (unless you get involved in another wiki that I am on, of course). Imrlybord7 19:39, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Actually I'm just going to warn PGB for now, since I think it has sort of blown over. If not, he'll get blocked. Imrlybord7 19:42, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

STOP BEING SO AGREEABLE! RAWR! Imrlybord7 19:51, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

PGB
Peter first off lied about being in the Marines. To put it short, he gets himself into trouble. He constantly (accidentally) ignites flame wars, and can be a pain in the ass. Still, he is actually a generally nice guy, but he doesn't understand to stay out of trouble.

Block anyone who argues here. We cannot let the Battlefield Wiki turn into a battlefield. --Callofduty4 (Talk) 19:53, April 20, 2010 (UTC)


 * Sure, I'm always happy to help out. --Callofduty4 (Talk) 19:55, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

People
You'd be suprised how one person started this thing (here) it with COAZ who started with a "You better behave on this wiki" and I told this greeny to shut up, as Im a lot better editor then he'll ever be. Peter Griffen Boy 20:34, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Not respond
Of course; as I said earlier, my retort was my final bit of communication with PGB - I've no desire to turn your wiki into a battlefield (pardon the pun). --  Griever0311   23:42, April 20, 2010 (UTC)

Possible threat
Griever stated

"So be happy you don't know me except for the wiki, and grow up and move on"

- Mr. 0311

That could be taken as a threat. If I would have said that, he'd be all over me. Peter Griffen Boy 22:07, April 22, 2010 (UTC)

Arguments
You've probably looked into this already, but I've noticed many people arguing, particularly about User:Peter Griffen Boy, and using the Battlefield Wiki as method of contacting this person. It's not the worst thing ever, since we can simply ignore the discussions, but it bothers me that people are using this Wiki to speak about matters that generally don't concern us. I mean, there are literally people coming here with the sole purpose of contacting him. Think you could maybe look into it more, if you have the time? SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 23:56, April 22, 2010 (UTC)


 * Well, thank you. I'm glad that's over with. It was getting annoying looking at My Home and seeing only discussions about that. And, well, it wasn't necessarily about the signature, but that did spark some arrogance towards him. SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 20:03, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Weeky poll
I have changed the weeky poll but i forgot to note down the results of the last poll =( DEathgod65 OMGWTFBBQ! 12:41, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

PGb
That's fine with me. Darkman 4 16:50, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

My apologies.
You know that isn't the reason I'm here, it's just that this is the wiki he chose to contact me on. Imrlybord7 17:00, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

My wiki
I'm not trying to make a Peter Griffen Boy Empire Wiki, but a discussion wiki, so no wiki has to be carved by the rotten cancer of the Republican PGB. Peter Griffen Boy 22:21, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Regarding PGB
I responded to a very general question he asked me that has to do with nothing in particular except for a conversation, I'm honestly surprised that you took such time out of your day to warn me about such a disruptive behavior (yes I'm being sarcastic). But honestly, there is no harm done when I answer a question that he asks me that did not directly pertain to the Call of Duty wiki. It may also be noted that his block on said wiki is permanent making discussion there, impossible. Also, deleting discussions? I guess this wiki doesn't have a DDD Policy, which I think is just inviting trouble. Thank you for taking the time to read this, now leave me be.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 23:34, April 23, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, we we're talking about someone else. User:ManOfIron, to be exact.

The discussion was not pertinent exclusively to any one wiki, site, or service, but a person. And honestly yeah I was rude, but I'm an asshole, goodbye.  Darthkenobi0 Talk 22:00, April 24, 2010 (UTC)

E-5, not E-3
That insignia is different. One is Lance Corporal, and the other is Sergeant, big differences between the two. Sergeant is my favorite rank, for reasons you shouldn't care to know about. I got it from the COD wiki.

Call of Duty wiki crap
Hey, I really want to apologize for CoD Wiki users bringing their crap here when they're banned. If I were you, I'd have a zero-tolerance policy regarding drama from other wikis. Darkman 4 00:31, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

RE: PGB Debate
What the hell! Why did you make that a wiki? What's wrong with you! 22:25, April 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * Oi, PGB made the silly wiki, not Bondpedia. PGB made it so that people talk to him there rather than using the Battlefield Series Wiki as their method of contacting him! SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 23:01, April 25, 2010 (UTC)

You misunderstood on signatures
As Doctor Richtofen's signature he merely just copies and pastes the code and that can take up four lines of text, though if you just make a template like I did, it takes up seven spaces of text, so you can obviously see how much the text can build up.

Erasing a page
Type 100, as their is a better Type 100 Sub-Machine Gun article.

RE:Congratulations
Thank you, I have noticed my powers. Doc.  Richtofen  17:30, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Proposal's
Could I make a page for the Featured Content suggestions and Requests For Admin please? Doc.  Richtofen  17:38, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, I think it'll be more sustainable this way. Also, do you think we should separate that Featured content pages? In addition to this, we should add the Admin page, Featured Content Suggestions Page(s) and Requests for Adminship to the community section to the left. Doc.  Richtofen  18:25, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Is |this similar to what you are proposing? Doc.  Richtofen  18:33, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

On other wikis, the Main page is called the name of the wiki. Could I move the main page to a different name?

My signature
I am well aware of how do sign and make signatures do all that stuff, however I use the one I have because it express indivituality, and helps keep mixing up between users, it's easy to remember a user quickly by their signature, and not having to read their name. If you want me to add a timestamp, to bad. and for keeps 22:47, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Yes, I know!/Humany has now officially lost it
I know, but I prefer to type as I don't have a tilde key on my keuyboard and I must copy and paste, that is why I ported my signature over, added that picture to my userpage to register onto my signature, then move the picture off of my page.

See what I mean, humanity is done for. As Ghost would say, Bloody Yanks. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/us_dying_and_ignored

YOU!
Okay then, to settle this arguement, whenever I talk to you, I'll uise four tildes then, whenever I talk to someone else it is. Peter Griffen Boy 22:01, April 29, 2010 (UTC)

News
How do I do that? I thought only admins could update news and polls. SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 20:42, April 30, 2010 (UTC)


 * Ok then. Umm, one other thing, can I get an archive for my Talk Page of posts Before April 2010? SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 20:46, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
 * Yep, thanks! SSD 天皇陛下萬歳！ 21:15, April 30, 2010 (UTC)
