7554

I know you are new here and are trying to contribute, so can I make a friendly suggestion? Before you do any more work on the 7554 page, Take a look at the way these pages are supposed to be formatted. Take a look at Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. That is an example of a great page. Things in particular to notice, the size of the gun images, the size of the screenshots, the text that appears below both types of images and the descriptions of each gun. You're doing a great job and the best way to learn how this site works is trial and error. I cannot tell you how many times I've been chewed out by admins for doing stuff the wrong way. Take a look at that page and use it as a guide. :-) --Zackmann08 16:42, 29 February 2012 (CST)

Please change image size

Your image sizes are too big for the formatting of the page. Please change your screenshots from "700px" to "500px". Any real handgun images should be at "300px" and other weapons should be between "450px" or "500px". --Ben41 23:36, 29 February 2012 (CST)

Making an article

BEFORE you start a page, you need to have screenshots ready. Creating a page and uploading 3 images to it over the course of 2 days its not a working strategy. --Zackmann08 17:03, 12 March 2012 (CDT)


Screenshots I have only done very little time I put them on the page. Tomorrow I finish the article. :)

The article still doesn't meet the requirements to be on the site. And when you respond to someone, post on THEIR talk page, not on your own. --Zackmann08 17:56, 12 March 2012 (CDT)
I don't know if it doesn't meet requirements (have you SEEN some of the games here?), but it'd be nice if there were some caps of actual game play. It's still early. --Funkychinaman 18:03, 12 March 2012 (CDT)

Cold Zero

In the future, if you are creating pages for video games, it would be best to provide a brief summary at the top of the page explaining what the game is and on what format it was released. There has been a little bit of controversy because the two games you made pages for were unfamiliar and were mistaken for non-eligible projects. --Ben41 18:35, 13 March 2012 (CDT)

Talk pages

When you posted a comment on a page, make sure that you sign it. There is a button that you can click that will automatically add it or you can just type --~~~~ --Zackmann08 13:05, 19 March 2012 (CDT)

Adding guns

In order to add a gun to this site it MUST have appeared in a movie, tv show or video game. --Zackmann08 15:43, 20 March 2012 (CDT)

I know you are trying and I respect the fact that you don't speak English, but it is impossible to understand what you are saying. Changes in page format cannot be made without admin approval. If you have an idea, post it in the forum or in the Main Page Talk. --Zackmann08 16:34, 20 March 2012 (CDT)
If you are looking for stuff to work on, work on converting pages from the old list format to tables. You can start with the MP40 if you like. --Zackmann08 16:36, 20 March 2012 (CDT)
Administrators --Zackmann08 16:44, 20 March 2012 (CDT)

Again I would say, rather then focusing on changing the existing format that has been decided on by the admins, you can work on cleaning up pages. The MP40 page still has the occurrences in list format. You could work on converting it to the new table format. --Zackmann08 15:31, 21 March 2012 (CDT)

Adding Subject

Please put your changes in the Category talk:Gun section and then I'll put it in the main page. --Ben41 17:16, 20 March 2012 (CDT)

MG81

Please make the MG81 page in the correct format as established in other pages such as the MG34. If you want to make a suggestion for a change, please put this in the Discussion page. --Ben41 19:05, 21 March 2012 (CDT)

Categories

Rememeber to add categories to your pages. I went and added the categories on Rogue Warrior. Just a friendly reminder. No big deal.--Jcordell 23:18, 6 April 2012 (CDT)

Black bars

Can you crop out the black bars on your images? Thanks. --Funkychinaman 12:59, 15 April 2012 (CDT)

It's what the mods have been asking us to do. It'd be one thing if they weren't so big, but these bars are huge. --Funkychinaman 13:20, 15 April 2012 (CDT)
And why did you delete the Cold Zero page? --Funkychinaman 13:22, 15 April 2012 (CDT)
