Well, that sounded like one of Obama's speech writers! LOL But you completely missed the point. Did I attack COD players exclusively? No. I said Newbies should NOT fly in, make a bunch of erroneous changes, and then fly out again. It is more outrageous when they're unknowns who waltz in, do a bunch of stuff, and then disappear. There is no one to speak to, to say "hey your changes are wrong, please revert them". No one to educate. they are gone with the wind. We're stuck UNDOING wrong information. And yes, it gets tiresome when we have to do it over and over again.

I dont think you personally mentioned COD players but you did however, and many others in this thread, mention gamers as proper examples. There is the issue. Thats what i found inapt, not your irritation with fixing tons of impulsive mistakes.

But regarding that particular issue; wouldnt it be rather easy to simple lock the articles for changes? You can easily do this with the main wikipedia, just like you can restore the article using the history.

Zulu,
Don't worry about pissing us off from what you have said here is seems that you want to be a group player and work with us and not just throw around garbage info. Welcome to the forum and I'm allways happy to have people help with digging up factual information and doing screencaps.

Okay, I am a new member! I just registered at imfdb, because I love guns! I'm fairly good with guns and imformation about them and I'd like to learn more! So, I would like to add guns to pages that I see are used in TV shows. but one small problem.... I have not the slightest clue how to get a screen shot! lol I'm sorry if this is a stupid question. If I have something wrong pls tell me. I just made an edit on the TV show Numb3rs. I added the H&K USP, but without a picture. Thanks!

Btw My real name is Ben Tucker!

Thanks again!

And I don't want to tick anyone off!! And I forgot to say that I don't know everything about guns, But I like and know some stuff about guns. And can I m203 really blow up a tank? Or would it have to be a well placed shot?

Thanks again!

It doesn't matter how well-placed a shot it is, no 40mm grenade can penetrate armor as thick as a tank. It's a Hollywood myth.
