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 SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    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! SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    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? SSDGFCTCT9(Talk) 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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    17:25, May 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, if that thread is where you got those stats, you can add it in the |source= field of the gunboxes, between a markup. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk) AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 20:14, May 2, 2011 (UTC)

Congratulations

BFH weapons prices
Yep, sounds good to me. Good idea. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    14:52, May 7, 2011 (UTC)

I'll also need the source for images like this and this. Thanks. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    18:12, May 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Also gonna need to give me the source for this one and others similar to it. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk) 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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk) 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? SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    22:30, 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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    19:54, May 16, 2011 (UTC)

I still need the source for. I'll also need it for the following: SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    02:00, May 18, 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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk) 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... SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk) 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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    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)

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)

/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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    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... SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    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. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    21:28, June 12, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Pic under name
Yeah, you should be able to use the "break" code thing. To do so, type , then just add the file as you normally would with its reduced size. 19:53, June 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yep, just type the following: M240C for this case. Essentially what you are doing is linking to the M240 page, but allowing it to be called something else with the "|" symbol (shift + backslash) within the double brackets. You could also just create a re-directory page, but this is much easier. 20:48, June 16, 2011 (UTC)

Break in infoboxes
Yeah, I noticed that. Looks a lot better. Do it that way. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    15:43, July 11, 2011 (UTC)

LMGs, HMGs and GPMGs
Alright, so listen. Apparently you wanted to make a "medium machine gun" based on the real life characteristics of the MGs. Well since that's not the goal of our wiki, I'll give you a compromise. What do you think? SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    18:40, July 23, 2011 (UTC)
 * Light machine guns = man-portable weapons (ie MG3, MG36, QBB-95, etc.)
 * Heavy machine guns = emplaced/mounted machine guns (ie MG42, MG34, M2 Browning, KORD, etc.)
 * General purpose machine guns = both man-portable & mounted (ie M60, M249, RPK, others that I can't think of)
 * sigh*
 * That's all based on real life characteristics. The Battlefield games make no difference between the cartridges the guns fire, that's why I'm trying to do this. For example, the M2 Browning and MG42 are identical in-game. It wouldn't make any sense to put them in different categories. They would both go in HMG because they're not man-portable. The M249 is man-portable and mounted in BF2, therefore it would also go in the GPMG.

RE:Suggestion
Yep, not a bad idea. Give me a second, I'll try to make an extra tab space for it. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    21:01, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

Ok, give it a try. Just write |sound = and add the .ogg file. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    21:10, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

RE: New Idea
Hi, Maxwell. I'm not sure what you mean your 'not sure how to do the edit/command thing' - 21:19, July 25, 2011 (UTC)

RE:Pictures
Uhm, no actually. Yuri was right. See, those are the game sections. Any and all relations to real life should be excluded from those sections. And considering we already have an IRL picture of the M14, that image doesn't have any place on the page, really. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    19:45, July 27, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, I noticed that, so instead I re-uploaded them (while giving you the credit) at the old file directories. If you see File:BFBC2V PBR ICON.png and File:BFBC2V UH-1 ICON.png, you'll see that I uploaded your files. If you find images like that again, you should upload them to there, and not upload new files, or else we lose the history of the files, and it saves you the trouble of editing the page.

Sorry, but you can't add songs as .ogg files, it is a breach of copyright laws. They will have to be deleted - 21:40, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

 * Sorry, but it was a major copyright breach. Music files are regulated differently to images, videos and even generic sound files, such that they can only very rarely be used under fair use, or with specific and direct permission from the record label. - 22:31, July 27, 2011 (UTC)

Dude
Not trying to sound like an ass, but could you move those files somewhere else? They look really out-of-place at the top. Йура 04:20, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

Well if we can use the chat feature now, its mutch easyer to dicuss about it ok ?

RE:Sound recording
So where would you suggest I record because I was originally recording on the attackers deployment in Arica Harbour with three of my friends to speed up the process. Unfortunately they decided walking around during the recording process was a great idea so the sounds of footsteps are in some of the sounds.

Sir Wikia 21:49, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry
I should apologise, I was having a really tough time getting my PC to work, and as a result I was a bit harsh on you earlier. I don't mind about the infobox-only sections, it's better than nothing and I expect someone will come along and add text in the future. Don't worry about it.

As for the newspaper, it just looked big, unnecessary and out of place. But it is a good idea. I toyed with the idea of icons for all of the little headers a few months ago, including a similar one to yours for the news section, but I struggled to get them to look natural, they just looked awkwardly out of place. But since it's been redesigned of late, leave it to me and I'll have another go. - 21:21, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

SiteMeter
That's an interesting suggestion. So it would add a little hit counter on the sidebar, right? I'll make a forum post for it. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    15:55, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * Yeah, I opened a discussion at Forum:SiteMeter. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk) AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 16:11, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Well
The trial itself was overall good. Battlelog was a bit unrefined, and there were a lot of glitches with both it and the trial itself. (sorry about being vague; I'm trying not to break the NDA). Йура 21:14, August 2, 2011 (UTC)

Images
I ahte to ask this of you again, but many of the images you've uploaded recently haven't been licensed. In particular, all those in-game stats images you've been adding are not licensed. Can you license them please? I really would appreciate it. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    20:07, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Ok, you took them yourself. That's good. And yeah I did see it. I don't see why not, so I support the idea. We should probably vote on it and come to a conclusion soon. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk) AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 20:37, August 7, 2011 (UTC)
 * Don't we already have them? Unless, if you have a higher quality image and you can properly license it, go ahead. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk) AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 21:11, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

 * You can do that, just so people can easily visualize the one-hit kill range, but maybe only for bolt-action sniper rifles. Try to do it with the M40, GOL and SV-98. Oh, and maybe shotguns with slugs. I don't think it'll need a seperate gallery, though. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk) AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 21:32, August 7, 2011 (UTC)

Stat boxes
You realize that the stat boxes shown in-game are untrustworthy, right? Comparisons of the weapons are extremely misleading using those, as oftentimes they are either wrong (see M9 and MP443) or they are ambiguous (see M40) Йура  20:54, August 8, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Helper
Sure, I can help you out. Feel free to add me on BC2 (same name as it is here, PresidentEden78).

But I won't be able to help until after I finish the BF2:MC maps, since the servers are being shut down in three days on the Xbox 360 version, meaning I need to focus on them before I can't acess them at all since it requires you to sign into EA's servers before playing the maps. 21:52, August 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Fair enough. We might also want to replace the M95's and M24's in that case for continuity. 22:06, August 8, 2011 (UTC)


 * Like I said, still working on BF2:MC maps before the servers shut down tomorrow. I'm available after I finish them, however. 01:48, August 11, 2011 (UTC)

RE: SiteMeter
Well, like I said, adding a sitemeter won't be a negative step, I just don't think it would be all that positive either. The point is, counting visits from today onwards is useless, what about the 5 and a half years of visitors that it's missed? And surely it's more interesting/important to know the sort of statistics Quantcast gives (global distribution of visitors, visitor changes over time, demographics, % of passers by compared to regular visitors - and all over a range of time periods, going back 5 years longer than SiteMeter's data would) rather than the stuff SiteMeter gives. - 17:09, August 10, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Help
Done, and remember to sign your posts.

Oh
I see. I thought you meant that just having there messed it up, but I didn't try playing the file, so if that's what you meant, then I'll take your word for it - 13:34, August 12, 2011 (UTC)


 * Yeah, that is a good compromise location for it. I don't think there's the need for big speaker image above it though... - 13:47, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I don't think the speaker image is necessary, as it doesn't really add anything important to it. As for the location, you can feel free to start moving them if you want - 13:57, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

OK. I don't see a problem with that - 14:18, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

Calibrate BC2V icons
Yes, do that, but don't replace the original files... Just upload a new version to the old file destination. It saves you time and effort, and we avoid having duplicate files... SSDGFCTCT9(Talk)    15:06, August 12, 2011 (UTC)

 * Uhm, no, actually. They both look exactly the same... Wait, was it because right after you uploaded the modified image, it looked all weird? That happens with every file you re-upload, but rest assured it worked. SSDGFCTCT9(Talk) AdminRibbon.png UserMonthRibbon.png AwardRibbon.png 800px-Template Ribbon.png 15:28, August 12, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm not really sure. I usually just upload them and they work properly after a bit of time. It's like those BFBC2 images I uploaded recently. They were all screwed up, because they took the old image and stretched it into the resolution of the new file. I went to bed after that and they look fine now.

Licensing
There's A LOT of your uploads that need licensing...

I understand that some of the images are probably self work, but they still need to be licensed properly, and there needs to be a source URL for the Nelson Bay, 'map kit found somewhere on the net' is not proper source URL.

ogg Videos
As has been discussed before, .ogg videos aren't good for everyone. But the videos themselves are good. It would be preferable for to embed them from YouTube Email the files to officialbfwiki@gmail.com and I'll upload them to the site's YouTube channel and embed them (giving you credit, of course...) - 14:20, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * There is a consensus not to use .ogg videos. Ogg don't work well for me and .ogv files don't work at all. Neither is preferable, for sound or video. My thinking is, if we have videos, we don't need sound files. If them videos are at YouTube, we don't need any .ogg/.ogv files at all. That way, everyone's happy... - 14:53, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

I shouldn't have to. I'm very happy with my browser how it is. Are you saying that everyone who uses our wiki on a non-ogg compatible browser should be forced to upgrade just to use the site. It would be much simpler for everyone to just not use ogg files. - 14:58, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

Battlefield Wiki is not Wikipedia. And the simple fact is, ogg doesn't work. Not for everybody. We should be inclusive, and the only way to get it to work for everyone is to embed from YouTube. I don't see your problem, it's only YouTube. It's not that unreasonable a suggestion, is it? - 15:06, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

I don't intend to discuss my browser or Java with you. I deleted the videos because there is a consensus not to use ogg videos. As for putting the effort in, it's the job of you, the editor, to put the effort in, not the reader, who in this case happens to be me. But the same applies quite easily be a passer by who wants to know something, and can't without 'putting the effort in'. They'd just go somewhere else instead, like YouTube. - 15:18, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

Battlefield Wiki isn't CoD Wiki either. Like I tried to put across in the messages above, the last in particular, this is not my issue. I am not alone in not being able to properly play ogg. I seem to remember Yuri is in the same boat, and it's likely that so are many other people. I think the debate at Forum:Add in-game weapon animation quite nicely demonstrates all the arguments for YouTube being better than ogg, plus a clear consensus in favour of YouTube over ogg. - 15:33, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

Feel free to re-upload them yourself, but I don't think ignoring the arguments against is wise. If you don't mind, I'm going to move this discussion to a forum so we, and others, can carry it on in a more central place - 15:44, August 15, 2011 (UTC)


 * Right, I've set up a forum at Forum:YouTube vs OGG. Feel free to contribute. - 16:09, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

Please stop adding ogg/ogv files until we have an agreement at Forum:YouTube vs OGG about their use - 19:40, August 15, 2011 (UTC)

RE: YouTube Videos
Thanks for giving it a try. If you email some videos too I can upload them too - 13:18, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Well, if the videos are too big to email, just continue uploading them here, but not putting them in articles. That way, I can download them from here and reupload them to YouTube, it's easier that way... - 19:28, August 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, if I download them as ogg/ogv files from here, I can upload them straight to YT and it converts them for you. I'm just downloading the MegaUpload one now... - 19:39, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

OK, that sounds like a good idea. Can you think of any alternative way of getting them to me than MegaUpload, it's a pain in the ass - 19:47, August 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * My internet could be faster, but it works, so... If MegaUpload is the only option then I guess I'll have to put up with it. The AK47 vid is uploading to YT. It's half-way at the minute... - 20:01, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

thumb|300px|rightDone. How's that... - 20:13, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

If you think it'll improve the quality, and it's not too much trouble for you, then go for it. I've had an interesting idea about putting the video in the infobox, like at User:Bondpedia/Sandbox1. What do you think? - 20:37, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

I think I prefer it in the infobox, but I've improved my idea at User:Bondpedia/Sandbox1. Is that any better, and which of the 2 do you prefer - I prefer 'Idea 1' - 21:00, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

I agree whit you that your idea 1 clearly looks better, however to get more views on the bf wiki channel we can considerable do an exception about dont leave by youtube links, since it's the bf wiki itself

Like the VideoFrame pic can link to the direct youtube film, its one way to get more views,

you can check out the video frame here placed before the gallery

http://battlefield.wikia.com/wiki/User:Maxwell123/Sandbox

By your viewpoint is my first or second idea better ?

Maxwell123 21:06, August 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * Well, I don't particularly like the VideoFrame pic. I think that visitors will play the embedded video and then carry on with the article rather than go off to YouTube. I think taking the user away from the article they were reading is a bad idea... (hence I prefer my idea 1 to my idea 2, which includes the VideoFrame pic) - 21:15, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

Sorry, I don't really understand what you meant in that last post? - 21:40, August 16, 2011 (UTC)


 * BTW, well done on 3000 edits! - 21:43, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

You mean try it on the proper template. I'll give it a go... - 21:45, August 16, 2011 (UTC)

OK, I'll have a look and see how it turns out. If the files are only 3.5MB, does that mean you'd be able to email them? I'll see how it goes first and get back to you... - 13:25, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

I've downloaded this one from MegaUpload - will put it on TY tomorrow. But in future, you can send them to the gmail account if it's not too much trouble and I'll upload them from that - 21:40, August 17, 2011 (UTC)

Anyway about the range pictures in BC2 you can see exsamples on the KORD page i did take some images,

we should take those for the remaiming sniper rifles. Maxwell123 22:36, August 18, 2011 (UTC)

H-H-ow
How are you not a trusted user/admin, i swear your really good at this.. Zephalian 13:16, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Wish I could
But the fact is that the files are separated into two filetypes. Rather than "bundledmesh", there's "standardmesh" and another filetype (extension ".rs"), as well as the collision mesh. And since BFmeshview, for whatever contrived reason, doesn't allow for multiple meshes to be loaded together, I can't do anything with it except stare at a red model render which has no textures. It also doesn't help that there's absolutely no actual tutorials on the thing, either. Йура 21:29, August 19, 2011 (UTC)

Hey
Do you mind if I add some extra stuff to your BFBC2V gameplay vids for Bond to upload? Just some screens explaining stats and whatnot. Like I did with this vid. Йура 19:40, August 20, 2011 (UTC)
 * It's only one extra screen, and it adds about seven or so seconds to the video overall. I can simplify it to keep the length even shorter or less complex. Йура [[file:YuriKaslov - Sig image.gif|15px|link=User talk:YuriKaslov]] 20:00, August 20, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Videos
Sorry about that, I forgot I had them. I'll upload them now, plus email them to Yuri. How many more videos are there after this lot? - 15:08, August 22, 2011 (UTC)


 * Sadly I don't think there's any way to do it. The video and the video player are different resolutions - ie. the video isn't as wide as the video player. If you change the size of the player, the video just changes in proportion, keeping the black space. So no, I don't think it's possible. But I think it's quite good compared to some videos which have loads of the black space - 16:27, August 22, 2011 (UTC)

Well, thanks for getting back to me. I agree with you that the stats aren't that good an addition. As for the soundtrack - as I've mentioned before, technically music is protected in a different way to generic files. Uploading music is technically against YouTube rules - although they don't particularly enforce it. It's still not a good idea though - every copyright infringement is noted and they keep records. If you do it too much, your account gets banned. For now, I don't see a problem with using other peoples videos for such things - 13:44, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Images - Part 2
Sounds like a good idea. I may be able to help you with that this weekend, so long as the hurricane thats supposed to pass through doesent knock out the power.

And yeah, sorry I havent uploaded the BC2 sniper images yet; been busy with IRL stuff lately. But I'll get to them right now while I have the time. 17:30, August 26, 2011 (UTC)

RE: YouTube Channel
The information you are looking for is listed at Battlefield Wiki:Social Networks - 17:07, August 27, 2011 (UTC)

To be honest, I don't see a problem with having them public - 16:03, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

Sure, I'll give it a go - 16:26, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Right, if you want you can use |sound= on Template:Infobox/vehicle - 16:33, August 29, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Movie/Sound
I'd prefer the embeded video to be in the template as long as it doesn't mess it up. The M1911 looks good. I'm thinking of redoing the BF2 vehicle/gun sounds and uploading them to the BF Wiki youtube account.

Alright, but I have no idea how to edit videos :\ That's why I used .ogg in the first place.

Ok, I'll try making some videos tomorrow.

YouTube clapperboard image
Well, what were you thinking of doing with it? - 18:16, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

I think the YT/FB/Twitter links would be better as just words rather than images - people could mistake them for our Twitter, etc. Plus, I don't see the point in having unnecessary images where words would do just as good a job. I agree that the official Twitter, etc. should be linked to though. - 18:21, September 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think there's any point using them just because you've uploaded them. I suggest replacing them with text then getting the images deleted. They aren't properly licensed anyway. As for main themes, they should probably be in the soundtrack section - 18:51, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Overhead picture? - 19:10, September 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I see. Yes, I agree having the image there improves it. I was intending to do that for all of the themes and soundtracks, but I never got around to it. It would be best to have an image of the soundtrack album cover, but I suppose any image that's got the logo or something on it should be fine. - 19:20, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

That's great. There's another email on the way to you, by the way - 19:59, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

I like your idea. But how do you intend to achieve it? - 20:49, September 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * I don't think it can be done - it's either the size gap it is now, or no gap at all. I'll keep looking into it though... - 21:02, September 1, 2011 (UTC)

Check it out now. Having 2 videos makes it a bit too big, but if they're reduced to just the play-bar, they work nicely. - 14:24, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Does it really need it's own section? I think it works well enough as it is... - 14:37, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Well, I don't see the point in having a sound and a video. Surely the audio on the video and the sound in the sound-clip are identical, and hence, not worth repeating? I'd stick with just a video or a sound-clip, preferably a video - 14:48, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

Leave it with me. I'm redesigning the infoboxes so that they look more like the weapons one rather than the maps one, so it would be pointless changing it just to have to change it again in a few days - 17:27, September 4, 2011 (UTC)

RE: Video tab
I presume from some of the details that your planning to use it on COD wiki? From a coding point of view though, it should work fine. Perhaps you should consider changing 'Console codename' to just 'Console(s)'. But I don't understand the alteration to the video tab. That would give it a label, is that intentional? - 21:57, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

If you want it to be like our current video tab on the weapon infobox, then you'd need to use the code:


 * colspan=2 style="text-align:center; margin: 0px; padding:0px; border-bottom:1px solid #999;" |

OK, see Forum:Sandbox - 22:40, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

In that case, yes it works fine. I would still suggest renaming the label of the console tab though. - 22:51, September 5, 2011 (UTC)

Images
16:9 widescreen images only work best for those laptops that can take it - it's sort of a similar thing to the .OGG debate. Also, in the galleries, square images work better as they aren't reduced in size due to their length. We need to take the presumption that people won't usually zoom into the images, so having the largest possible size in the gallery is more important than the resolution. - 19:55, September 23, 2011 (UTC)

 * If I could chip in here, I have one problem with this. For this to work, we need to have all the sounds uploaded. Problem is, that we have very few of them at the moment, and we'd need to do that for every game. I say we hold back on it until we have at least all the sounds for BC2, but it could be useful. - 19:53, October 16, 2011 (UTC)

Pic/Video Suggestion?
Well have you ever thought of combining all the weapon guns/sounds together and their animations into one video? and before one gun it can show the stats Zephalian 09:20, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

P.S Not too sure about it though.

Exactly
But with clips (weapon reload animations) and all that and Stat sheet (rof, reload time, 5.552 cartridge)

Yeah, for BF3 you can do the animation of the full reload (AK-74M pulling the rail) and the other reload where there are still some rounds left.

and show Single shot fires, burst fire and if it dosen't take too much time you can show the damage on another player... and sprint animation etc etc

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iZ7zP7DzWho&feature=channel_video_title

Example of my concept. Zephalian 10:17, October 18, 2011 (UTC)

How bout as you shoot the guns and reload you put a stat sheet up, and when your reloading you can put a tab of the bullet types and one catridge

Images
What was the purpose of replacing the images of the M16 in the BF2 section? For one thing, I don't see how reloading pictures are at all helpful, and for another, the images we had were fine. Йура 15:09, October 19, 2011 (UTC)

Re:

RE: Assistance
Hi Maxwell, I see what's causing the problem - it's in the coding. The way it's set up is so there is always a border between the last of the 2 column sections and the animation section, and another between the animation and the video sections - even when those sections have no content. Hence, when there's a video but no animation, both borders show, rather than just the 1 that's required. I can see if I can fix it, but I don't know quite whether it will work or not - 18:42, November 1, 2011 (UTC)


 * Actually, it was easier to fix than I thought it would be. It should be working fine now - 18:51, November 1, 2011 (UTC)

I've had a look, but I can't see anything. Can you provide an image outlining the problem as you see it, like you did for the last problem? - 19:31, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

I can see what you mean now. Sadly, I think it's a problem with YouTube, rather than with any coding - so I can't fix it. But we can work around it: if we made all of the infobox videos 240px, and reduced the size of the weapon image to 240px to match, it would then have a full size thumbnail. If you agree, I might ask if the bot could do it to save you some time - 20:18, November 3, 2011 (UTC)

Well, for images with a white/clear background, it looks loads better with the gap there. But obviously it doesn't for images with coloured backgrounds. Really, we should try to get colourless background images for infoboxes anyway, because they look better. But for now, I'll remove the spacing - 15:27, November 5, 2011 (UTC)

I removed the border and fixed the spacing, didn't I? - 15:19, November 6, 2011 (UTC)
