Greetings from SOG, recruit. We're happy to have you aboard at the Call of Duty Wiki, so here's a briefing on how you can help:
Our policies are something you should get familiar with, so you can have a good understanding of our rules. You will find very helpful information on what is and is not allowed on the wiki.
Recent changes is a great second stop for beginners, because you can see what pages other people people are interested in, and which ones might need your talents!
The Sandbox is a great place to test things out if this is your first time editing wikis. It is advisable to know what is commonplace on the wiki, such as templates and categories, and how to use them.
Have questions? You can ask at the Help desk, or post a message on my talk page! Also feel free to contact an administrator; sysops' names are highlighted in green and bureaucrats' names are highlighted in cyan. But remember, my friend, we are all in this fight together, so feel free to ask anyone you like - we are always watching each other's backs!
Have feedback? The War Room is used to discuss changes to wiki or other community related issues. You'll need 50 main space edits to vote, recruit, but your opinion is still appreciated!
I look forward to having you here, my friend! It is always good to have another soldier on the front lines of editing!
It's been unblocked. Sorry about the inconvenience. --Callofduty4 18:21, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
No worries. --Callofduty4 19:51, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
Rawr, I was the one who unblocked it, and the one who blocked it in the first place. Sorry about the misunderstanding, I assumed wrongly. -- Sactage(talk) 19:56, February 2, 2011 (UTC)
I nominated you for Member Of The Month since you were contributing alot so continue contributing and you might be picked.Dudebot121256 21:29, February 2, 2011 (UTC)dudebot121256
I don't remember getting an achievement of that description. Then again, I'm not 100% sure, but I think it's a Co-Op challenge. And remember to sign your posts with ~~~~. - MLGISNOT4ME[Talk] - 21:02, August 9, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I also noticed it is an actual achievement. Also, I would've been quite sure that there is already a page for it. Sorry 'bout this. - MLGISNOT4ME[Talk] - 21:07, August 9, 2011 (UTC)
I don't know how to do it with RTE (aka Visual Mode), I use Source Mode, where it's done by putting a section more to the infobox calling it "image". For example:
The template "infobox/achievement" doesn't have a spot in the template for a section called "name". Like how infobox/weapon has a spot called image, firemode, etc that produce their respective section when saved. Putting "name" in the achievement infobox doesn't do anything.

We kindly ask you to please properly license all future images that you upload to the wiki. It is the sole responsibility of the up-loader to license any image he/she uploads to the wiki. When uploading an image to the wiki, towards the bottom of the page there is an option to add a license. Click on the drop down menu; there on the menu in the lower section, you will see "fair use and with permission" options.
For images that are game screenshots, use Copyrighted Media.
For non-game screenshots (pictures taken from the web etc.), use Fair Use.
For images that are not licensed, or images you have made yourself, use Public Domain.
You add the license to the image at the same time you upload it to the wiki. For more help and details, see here. If you have any questions please contact me on my Talk page and I'll be glad to help.
no that image can stay as i have already licensed it, the licensing option appears when you are uploading a image all YOU have to do is insert the right licensing per the template above, it is really quite easy. let me know if you got questions and i'll help you but read the template again as it tells you how to do it. Talk 06:00, August 29, 2011 (UTC)
you can use the public domain license, thats what i'd use anyway. you might ask Drkdragonz66. Talk 01:37, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
Well, if your planing to upload IRL photos, you can license them with {{PD}}}, or Public Domain. Anything game related, such as screenshots are licensed as {{Copyrighted Media}}, signifying that the images are subjected to copyright stuff as the game people owners see fit. Any other questions you might have feel free to ask me, WHISKEY35, or Cpl. Bohater. DrkDragonz66TalkContribsCombat Arms16:08, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
...how do i put this (hmm)... Ok. Anything that is In Real Stuff, like logos of soccer teams should be licensed as PD, while anything that is game related should be labeled as Copyrighted Media. Doesnt matter if it comes from Google Images or from the government :P DrkDragonz66TalkContribsCombat Arms16:37, August 30, 2011 (UTC
Yeah...just ignore that and licence it as PD. I dont know why its labeled as that :( DrkDragonz66TalkContribsCombat Arms16:49, August 30, 2011 (UTC)
Why specifically do you oppose adding a line of code to userpages that have backgrounds? The backgrounds would still appear to anybody that wants them. PoketapeTalk 23:56, September 10, 2011 (UTC)
No, the vote is just to add code to people's userpages that have backgrounds so people that don't want to see them won't have to. Nothing is being removed. PoketapeTalk 06:13, September 11, 2011 (UTC)
Hey, man. I'm just telling you this because I think you're really cool (sXe ftw). And are you a Deadpool fan too? JerryWiffleWaffle 21:10, September 15, 2011 (UTC)
It's alright. If your into RTS then its def worth the buy. Otherwise, it's very hard to get into it. I liked it though, mostly because I always wanted to see a Halo Game like Command and Conquer. It's got a cool Story too, and the Cutscenes are nice. 00:01, October 17, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah I saw that vid, I lol'd. All you have to do is go to your ELITE page where you have your classes then press the button on your Key board that says Prt Scrn aka Print Screen. Open MS paint and press paste. Then crop it and save! If your still confused you can ask me for more help, but if I am unavialiable ask Sam or Sauce. Redskin-2619:14, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
No prob. Redskin-26 19:19, December 11, 2011 (UTC)
Yeah, I watched Firefly. Haven't seen Serenity yet though. Raven's wingTalk22:38, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
My brother has it, I just haven't watched it yet. Raven's wingTalk22:44, December 23, 2011 (UTC)
Hey SXe Fiend! Thanks for helping me edit the MW3 Wikia page. I tend to be anal retentive with "imperfections", so I try to make everything look the same. Anyway, I notice that the code you were inputing is different from the original code that was used for the site, i.e. "<span style="font-style: normal...". I'm very new to HTML and/or this wikia thing, so I'm just curious as to why you write it differently. I've been using the same code that is already there, an between lines there isn't anything you use. Like I said, I'm new to code writing and really curious about the differences.
When you are using a custom signature and signing your posts with ~~~~, please make it to a template (unless one is already made) by creating a page called Template:Signatures/(your full username), then adding {{Nosubst|Signatures/(your full username)}} in the Signature box (also remember to check the box with "I want to use wikitext in my signature") in your preferences. This is done to decrease the amount of unnecessary coding on discussion and talk pages.
This is a part of the signature policy, so do not ignore this message. If you have any questions or need help, feel free to ask on my talk page. Thanks!
I'm just gonna answer this one: you can upload an image to another website, like imgur.com, and then use it here in the form:
{{R|<image URL, like "i.imgur.com/lolol.jpg">}}. It's essentially the same as when using a local image ([[File:Lolol.jpg]]), you can also modify the size of the image, where it links to and so forth. - MLGISNOT4ME[Talk] - 19:22, January 23, 2012 (UTC)
You are moving rapid fast through these edits of yours! Keep up the good work. Also, I might search you up on Xbox LIVE. If you wanna know anything else, my gamertag is LoneGamer97 .
Nice man, I love Red vs. Blue. I think my favorite character is Grif, simply because I find his laziness jokes hilarious. Who's your favorite? 02:59, February 28, 2012 (UTC)
I have all the seasons also, but I lost the box for Season 9 and am currently defending the disc with my life lol. AN dI can't wait for Season 10 either. 03:38, February 28, 2012 (UTC)
Haha, I would never have the time to do that, let alone the money. 03:48, February 28, 2012 (UTC)
I'm on your friends side, it would be awesome to play with other people in the wasteland. 04:10, February 28, 2012 (UTC)
I found the games hard to get into, but once I did I couldn't stop lol. 04:32, February 28, 2012 (UTC)
I was psyched for Fallout 4, and then I got Skyrim. And my psyched up level went so skyrocketing high, because I knew if bethesda could pull off Skyrim like this, they can pull off Fallout 4 even better. I prefer the Wasteland setting to Fantasy-Medieval anyway. 04:44, February 28, 2012 (UTC)
Hey I was browsing and saw that you like RvB and I haven't found almost any other user besides my self, along with the known Damac1214 that I just found out, and just came to say and its col to know you like RvB as well.Argorrathおしゃべり04:25, February 28, 2012 (UTC)
I'm more of a Project Freelancer myself but If I had to choose it would be Blue, for they have the new member Wash and my favorite Caboose you Red or Blue?Argorrathおしゃべり05:02, February 28, 2012 (UTC)
Due to your impeccable behavior and/or contributions, you have been awarded the Medal of Editing. You are a hard working editor, and you make the wiki proud. We applaud you for obtaining the title of Featured User, and we encourage further editing from you.
Keep up the good work!
Congratulations, nice work. Callofduty4Octavia01:37, March 2, 2012 (UTC)
Per COD:TIG, "If the image you have moved is used in an article, then you must update the article to use the image's new name. Don't be lazy and not do this. " For example, there is red links all over the C4 page. Thanks. Phillycj 23:59, April 13, 2012 (UTC)
Apoligies, I didn't see you do some of them, my mistake. Phillycj 00:02, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
Also, if you join IRC, I'll help you set up an account and ask Sactage for permission to use his bot, Cynder, that auto replaces the images on the page and removes the {{smove}} template, and does it without spamming RC. Phillycj 00:12, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
Just work on how you crop the muzzle and the iron sights, they are the hardest parts of the gun to do so I suggest you take your time on those parts, make the edges smoother by making sure anti-aliasing is on and not making your segments too close together, and when outlining the gun with the lasso tool try to do it from the inside of the gun instead of the outside, that way there are lesser chances of seeing remnants of the background around the gun on closer inspection. You'll get the hang of it soon, don't worry. :) Joseph Tanl talk l edit count l contribs l 12:00, April 28, 2012 (UTC)
You're doing better, although it does still seem to be a little rough. Joseph Tanl talk l edit count l contribs l 00:08, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
That's a lot better, just work on your circles and you'll be fine. :D Joseph Tanl talk l edit count l contribs l 08:48, April 29, 2012 (UTC)
All the small one's are smooth but the bigger one's are rough. :/ What program do you use? GIMP? Joseph Tanl talk l edit count l contribs l 06:54, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
Do you have anti-aliasing on, you're images seem to not have it. Joseph Tanl talk l edit count l contribs l 16:39, May 1, 2012 (UTC)
Well, it adds like a fading out effect on the edges of the image to make it look smoother. Here's a picture from Wikipedia. Joseph Tanl talk l edit count l contribs l 03:33, May 2, 2012 (UTC)
I changed the Soap page to say he is British because he is British. While he does come from Scotland and is therefore Scottish, Scotland is a part of Britain so he is British. If he had a passport it would say British. If Soaps page says he is Scottish then why doesn't Cpt Price's say he is English.
Very nice, but still rough, since that's the only thing I can find that's wrong, I don't think you need me to judge your work anymore. Joseph Tanl talk l edit count l contribs l 05:55, May 7, 2012 (UTC)
Please use the correct in-game terms for the images. Such as the :File:Mosin-Nagant Sniper Scope Pickup CoD2.png, in-game it is not called "Mosin-Nagant Sniper Scope" it is mearly "Scoped Mosin-Nagant", as such the correct name should be "Scoped Mosin-Nagant Pickup CoD2".
Due to your outstanding effort, time put into and dedication to the wiki, you have been awarded the 12 months good conduct medal. You are a hard working editor, and you make the wiki proud. Well done!
Keep up the good work!

Thanks for placing all the new images into the Black Ops achievements page. I passed out before I finished the page. DarkMetroid567okay 16:19, May 23, 2012 (UTC)
Yeah you can. It'll send you a confirmation code thingy to the email used on the account that you have. You simply use the code and all your stuff should be able to be downloaded again ! easy as pie 01:21, June 17, 2012 (UTC)
Due to the effort you've put into the images on the wiki, you have been awarded the Notable Image Contributions Medal. You've brought a large amount of improvement to many articles. Well done!
Glad you liked it! I know Dubstep isn't really your favorite but I thought you might enjoy this particular track. Here's another remix of the same track if you feel like listening. (I personally like this one better) Redskin-26 02:59, July 12, 2012 (UTC)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XqORbzbEfoM In case you haven't already seen it. I trust those developers, so at least I can tell you I believe the game is in good hands. Magma-Man 04:39, July 20, 2012 (UTC)
On account of your many helpful file renames, you have been awarded the Custodian Award.
