PS4 Lineup Video
Hey there, Awyman13, my name is Doug from Wikia's Community Development team. We recently created a PS4 Lineup video that features Battlefield 4 and would love to have it hosted on the featured media section of your mainpage. : Your decision on whether to implement.

Thank you and have a good one! TheBlueRogue (profile)•(talk)•(email) 23:46, November 15, 2013 (UTC)

Congratulations!
On being one of our Wiki's finest, the Administrators. I definitely thought you were eligible for the position. Keep up the good work! Rangers Lead The Way 03:16, November 17, 2013 (UTC)

Recker construction
The stuff that this anon put in on Recker is really bad, and I'm not really up for revising it all. Can I just delete it and put in my own? I know his intentions were good, but it's just really poor quality. He would skip events of missions, the grammar is lacking, and it doesn't fit typical uniform standards. For example, he put in detailed recounting of Hawkins' crash, but just skipped everything between the factory and school. Since it isn't the main article of the missions, it's just supposed to be short, right? I feel like I need to re-write it all. Bleh. 23:03, November 17, 2013 (UTC)

Blackburn's page just says how he recounted his POV of the campaign to the agents. It doesn't actually explain mission-for-mission. Even Marlowe isn't that explicit. I'm thinking about just briefly writing up the missions' events within a few sentences per mission. Bleh. 23:20, November 17, 2013 (UTC)

Also, how does Baku need to be better summarized? ._. Bleh. 00:57, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Alright. I'll read the rest of it. Bleh. 04:19, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Unfortunately, you called me up at a late hour and tomorrow's Monday so I'm not gonna be on 'till at least 4pm (mountain time) tomorrow. Sorry, Aus, but I can never really stay up past ten cuz' of work and shiz... I also may get CTW on my Kindle. 50% cuz' Wikia, 50% cuz' of Battlefield. Bleh. 04:42, November 18, 2013 (UTC)

Confirmed weapons for SA, leak or no leak?
I was scouring the web for info on any upcoming expansion packs and I found some interesting things involving SA:

We all know the AS VAL and the F2000 is confirmed, but I also read that there is the M60E4, the DAO-12, and golly Bad Company! The GOL! My concern is is it considered leaked or is it a glitch with the patch again? If I am given the go I will add these three to the list.

Whops! Looks like someone beat me to every single one. Looks like it's not a leak considering the contributors are veterans.

Doesn't he sound like Christopher Randolph? ;P (as heard from Suez and other missions) Bleh. 01:56, November 23, 2013 (UTC)

I think we War of 2020 to "Chang's Coup d'etat" or "Sino-American Conflict of 2020" or some such. We really should discuss it. Bleh. 14:27, November 23, 2013 (UTC)

Re:Community ideas
One of the big community things we do is weekly news blogs. On the CoD wiki they're informal yet informative and still pretty popular more than 2 years after their introduction. --Callofduty4 (talk) 17:20, November 24, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Achievements
Hi again.

Achievements have been discussed and very strongly rejected previously (see here). I personally stand by the arguments against them made in that forum.

However, you rightly point out that times have changed, and achievements have been successful on other wikis. Furthermore, with less activity and fewer active users, the current bureaucracy is no longer fit for purpose.

My suggestion would be that if you think this will help, discuss it with whoever is active at the moment and if you can agree, then perhaps give it a trial. - 11:42, November 27, 2013 (UTC)

Some image questions
Hi again. I've decided I can do some image work for being lucky enough to own BF:BC2, BF3 and BF4 on PC as well as one that can run them smoothly (most or all images I'll take will be on high/ultra at 1080p), but I'd ask a few questions if that's ok. 17:38, November 27, 2013 (UTC)
 * 1) After taking a few looks at other images on other pages, it seems other people including admins have used public domain to license in-game screenshots, do I use that as well, instead of fair use?
 * 2) Do you prefer images with transparent background (such as this) or without it? Cropping it out takes another 5-10 minutes of work per image so if it makes the image worse or simply not notably better, I might not do it.
 * 3) I assume it's alright if I remove the current images from pages simultaneously when I replace if they're low quality and obsolete? And for that matter, do you guys do anything about unused images?
 * Alright. To use the fair use license on in-game screenshots, I assume it would be or something (I honestly can't come up with a proper "source" for something taken from your own gameplay)?  17:56, November 27, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Promotion Image
Heyo, just in case you missed my response:

I presume you mean the main image on Special:Promote. I think any of these could work if you have a preference. Some are .jpg, but I can easily change them to .png files: Jorge (profile)•(talk) 21:09, November 27, 2013 (UTC)

Chat Policy
I proposed a vote at your forum about the chat policy a few weeks ago after you contacted me. I've just archived the vote, so BF:CHAT is now an official policy. Just thought I'd let you know. - 18:45, November 29, 2013 (UTC)

RE: Proposal
If you think there should be a trial, you have every right to propose one. Furthermore, the community has every right to debate and vote on anything - he has no right to ban a proposal and if he tries that constitutes an abuse of his privileges, which the community can easily revoke, and a blockable offence - 20:12, November 29, 2013 (UTC)

Message for Admins
Both Joe and Ranger have today announced to me their intention to retire from the wiki. That leaves the wiki without an active bureaucrat (I can't stay myself, my dissertation is on the horizon). One of either you, PLR or PSK needs to fill the gap. I suggest you read the guidelines at BF:ADMIN and BF:RFA then consider your future. -  16:29, December 1, 2013 (UTC)

Re: Bureaucrat
How would we determine the winner? Most votes? I currently have my RfA posted at the moment. 18:39, December 2, 2013 (UTC)
 * Oh, I see what you mean. Yeah, let's do that. We would need PSK to approve, so you can go ahead and make a duplicate RfA on the same page (with your stats filled out, of course). 18:54, December 2, 2013 (UTC)

About the images, I just took them from Battlelog. Just a lot of saving, uploading and licensing.

Hi, I've noticed that you've been editting a lot. Please keep in mind that we do not accept spamming or achievement hunting, so please cease to do so if you are. Thanks.

 * Just to clear something up: frequent editing does not equate to excessive editing or "spamming" (unless the user is making very small edits to the same page repeatedly within a very short timeframe (which no one has done, IIRC). <span style="background-color: black; border: 4px solid green; border-radius: 15px 15px 15px 15px; box-shadow: 4px 3px 10px #040404">Flag_of_Iran.png PLR Soldier TalkBF3_KH2002_ICON.png 21:51, December 3, 2013 (UTC)

Re: BF Pic
I recommend print screening (PRNT SCRN) and then pasting the little icon to get the image. It wouldn't let me re-upload it to here because it detected a duplicate. Mind you it is very small (20x20). <span style="background-color: black; border: 4px solid green; border-radius: 15px 15px 15px 15px; box-shadow: 4px 3px 10px #040404"> PLR Soldier Talk 00:10, December 4, 2013 (UTC)
