User talk:Awyman13

Archiving
Is pretty simple. Create a new subpage of your user talk page, such as User talk:Awyman13/Archive 1, and cut all the content from this page and save it on the empty subpage. Юра 06:44, May 22, 2013 (UTC)

BF Wikia Layout
I told that to Yuri, he said it would be done sooner or later, I uploaded a 1680x1050 background of with the Soldier and no BATTLEFIELD 4 text.

I would say just change the background and we are set for BF4, this has been discussed before.

BF Wiki Theme
That was once considered before you messaged me, but the consensus was that we should wait till more screenshots are released for BF4 in order for that to happen.

And ruin the consistency of the wiki? No. Go look at any other BC2 map page. Юра 07:31, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Tell you what. You go and do something more productive, I'll change all the map articles, over the course of today and tomorrow, to reflect BF2142's map layout because they're the best designed out of the lot. And especially since they were written by one of the best admins on the site.


 * There's nothing wrong, nothing precluding, large quotes. At all. Anywhere. Nothing in the MoS about it. Don't make up rules where none exist. That's not your place.


 * And for the love of God, would you STOP with the constant re-revising? Make ALL of your edits in one revision and BE DONE. Especially since half the time you're just changing the syntax of what is already there. Unless you have something more substantial than just rearranging word-order or section-order, stop revising the same page multiple times over a short timespan. Юра [[file:YuriKaslov - Sig image.gif|15px|link=User talk:YuriKaslov]] 07:58, May 31, 2013 (UTC)
 * Okay. The simple fix to that is to understand what changes you're making and how they're supposed to show up on the page from source mode. Or use a sandbox page.


 * And yes, saying that is making up rules. Like I said, MoS doesn't say anything about long quotes. In fact, the only thing it says about quotes is that quotes should only be used rarely. Юра [[file:YuriKaslov - Sig image.gif|15px|link=User talk:YuriKaslov]] 08:28, May 31, 2013 (UTC)


 * If it's quoting a primary or secondary source -- eg, an in-game description or a Battlelog entry -- then I see no harm in having that in quotations. If it's paraphrased, or something like that, then no, it shouldn't be in quotations. I think the point here that you're missing is that these aren't "quotes" in the sense of a quote out of a book -- it's just a way of showing that it's an official statement.


 * Now, I need to go to bed, so I'll be off for a while. Юра [[file:YuriKaslov - Sig image.gif|15px|link=User talk:YuriKaslov]] 08:44, May 31, 2013 (UTC)

Re:
In-game trumps IRL. I don't think any distinction is made between LMGs, MMGs, or HMGs in any of the games, apart from the fact that LMGs and MMGs are generally man-portable whereas HMGs are generally mounted emplacements or coax. Юра 02:41, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Well, SMG is a class in previous games -- BC2 and BF2, specifically -- as is PDW -- which is in BF3. So that one WOULD be separate. That's why the PP2K and UMP are both SMGs and PDWs. But as for MGs, like I said, there's no real distinction. So probably just best to leave it together: we already have an article on Coax MGs, as well as regular man-portable ones. Юра [[file:YuriKaslov - Sig image.gif|15px|link=User talk:YuriKaslov]] 03:04, June 3, 2013 (UTC)

 * LMGs use intermediate rifle rounds (5.56 etc), MMGs/GPMGs user full-sized rifles rounds (7.62 etc), and HMGs use .50 or thereabouts.


 * Not all of the HMGs are vehicle only; quite a few show up as emplacements. Юра [[file:YuriKaslov - Sig image.gif|15px|link=User talk:YuriKaslov]] 05:34, June 3, 2013 (UTC)
 * Just make the HMG page into a redirect.
 * Replace the contents of the page with #REDIRECT Machinegun

 * Unfortunately, uploads have been disabled for a few hours because of maintenance.

Ya i saw the Wikia Msg. Does that include taking a pic already on the Wikia? -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 04:45, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * You could do that if you want.

Firearm page
That is stretching it a bit. There's no reason to have a page on something that is purely an IRL concept.

Its a disamb page for easier navigation, plus it is not completely a IRL concept, since all weapons appear in BF. I did notice there is no Carbine page as well as how the Sniper Rifle and PDW pages are somewhat disorganized so i would like to format them similer to the other Firearm pages -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 05:01, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
 * What I'm saying is that there is no "firearm" class of weapon. If DICE said all weapons were swords, then you could make a "sword" disambig page, but firearms is too borderline to be allowed. Especially since probably nobody would ever use it, since I highly doubt anyone would search for that.

True it may have been too much but we both know that a firearm does refer to the pages i listed. -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 05:07, June 5, 2013 (UTC)


 * Of course... although you missed quite a few pages, since a firearm is literally anything with a barrel and a chamber. Cannons, howitzers, mortars... Either way, that page is probably best left off the site.

Carbine
Okay.

Ill add the actual weapons soon, its just really time consuming to find the exact weapon per game and put them in Navboxes. -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 05:56, June 5, 2013 (UTC)

Portals
No.

Portals serve a different purpose. Portals are just meant to direct users. The article is meant to give an overview of the series as a general whole; what makes it unique, etc.

They're also on a completely different namespace.

Portals aren't articles, they aren't supposed to be edited at all. Ever. They're just there for navigation purposes.

So the answer is no.

Re: Just a note
Sorry, I was getting the essential machine pistols and revolver navboxes finished. I wish the MediaWiki Editor told you that someone was editing BEFORE you published it. Also, couldn't you just copy and paste your edit to my version?

Err...
I talked to Yuri, he says through the process of elimination in the chat, it was I who played BF2: MC, that is untrue. I only have Battlefield 2: Complete (PC, Steam).

Awy, it is not like we can do anything, the multiplayer servers are down for good and we will never be able to get a full view of how MC was like.

Re:
They're not called battle-rifles except in certain weapons' flavor text. Otherwise they're lumped into other categories -- depending on the game and the weapon in question, usually sniper rifles or assault rifles.

Have you even played any of the older games? There's not even really classes of weapons.

Im aware that many newer games label them as such. -- <font style="color:Green">awyman13  {<font style="color:Silver">Talk } {<font style="color:black">Work } 00:30, June 6, 2013 (UTC)
 * No... In BC2 those that aren't labeled as sniper rifles are assault rifles, in BF3 they're all considered sniper rifles apart from the g3 which is an assault rifle. Maybe P4F calls them battle rifles, but that would be it.

Deletion of Battle Rifle
I've done it myself. Plese remember that we have a template for deletion, and that we have more than one user around here that can help you. Do not ask one person for deletion help and please just place Template:Delete on it. It marks it for deletion with its own special category.

Re:
The differentiation between consoles and PC VIP I was going to be moving to the top, but we aren't "detailing" the maps -- not all of them were released for all gametypes the way that the BF3 maps were. So in short, no I won't revert it to what you had it, because that's removing necessary detail.

I suppose we can remove them (from all). They were present on all of them except for End Game, which is why I added it. <span style="background-color: black; border: 4px solid green; border-radius: 15px 15px 15px 15px; box-shadow: 4px 3px 10px #040404"> PLR Soldier Talk 17:31, June 9, 2013 (UTC)

Stop directly adding template source code to pages. It looks terrible in source, it is confusing for people unfamiliar with source, and it is not a valid replacement for actual written paragraphs. If you want to make templates, do so, but do it properly. Юра 20:23, June 15, 2013 (UTC)

Air Force
It appears in a sort of 'unspoken' way in most of the games, actually -- alongside the navy. BF3's pilot skins reflect this, as do the skins for the pilots in BF2; BC2 has air strikes a number of times... Юра 22:04, June 23, 2013 (UTC)
 * I dunno. Maybe. I'd have to do more research, because in WW2 the air Force didn't even exist (Army Air Corps, or used by the Marine Corps), in BF2 it's possible that they are actually Marine Corps air assets (the A-10 iirc is exclusively Marine Corps), which would be extension mean that their "appearance" in BC2 is actually Marine support.
