[edit] Funny spoof

[Bender talking instead of Fenix. Btw How far are you into BSG?--Jack Black 10:17, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Good to hear that mate and trust me you will love the final it blow my mind. And keep an eye on Gruntjackal every two for one article is not needed.--Jack Black 18:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
"OH SHIT A LOCUST!" that made my day.--Jack Black 19:01, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] I'm

starting the characters traits and personality. I'm still on Richard Prescott. And I'm not doing that good.--Jack Black 12:23, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


[edit] Quotes

Ok, then. i havn't been of Gearspedia in a while, and I don't know half the rules. Remember Kids, Wretches hurt but Tikers burn like theres no tommoro

[edit] I been trying to get a template to work

I been trying to get the info box from the UNSC page to work on Gearspedia so we can have it on the Locust and COG articles.--Jack Black 18:30, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

thanks 81 as soon I finish the new comic i get too it.--Jack Black 20:18, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Re.Changing the project namespace

Go for it. I didn't want the policy pages to be view as articles.--Jack Black 14:15, 13 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Personally

I have a really negative opinion on the people that founded this wikia. All the Gears of War 1 era articles are unprofessional and it seem Canon was a not a big issue for them.--Jack Black 00:56, 14 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Ruth and Queen Myhrah

do you think they could be the same person/thing? thank you for reading this —Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.23.187.203 (talk • contribs) 18:30 UCT, 15 June 2009

[edit] Gears of War: Source Book

I'd just read the gears of war:source book and it was okay. The problem is, the story in the comic has a battle but the location is given "near jacinto". And this is the second comic that showed a battle with no name (The quickening had a one panel strip of the aftermath of a battle). And no name is given. So how do we handle this?--Jack Black 18:07, 18 June 2009 (UTC)

Well I see what i can do. And we need too add coding for the comic issues and a new template too separate the story arc. We have Hollow,The Quickening, and Day One (from the sourcebook).--Jack Black 23:56, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
something like this.--Jack Black 23:58, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
Good job, I'm planning to get all the Hollow ark down by tonight.--Jack Black 00:18, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Help!

--Gearslover01 02:01, 20 June 2009 (UTC)Hey dude is Gearslover01

You might have seen me around fixing mostly stubs and a couple of large pages and I need your help. Jackthe( not so cool)Black is erasing all my hard work. First off, I wrote a quote that Chaps said in Gears 2, where he talks about Maria. I couldnt get it in the write format. I was hoping JacktheBlack would fix but no he deleted it. And it was true. Then I wrote about the Locust Queen, about the guesses of her origin but he deleted it. Can you talk to him for me or help me out on how to do things around he, I'm new.

Sincerely, Gearslover01

[edit] Duh, a QUESTION!

--Gearslover01 18:56, 21 June 2009 (UTC)Dear EightyOne, I want to ask you a couple of questions. One, how can you upload a new picture of a file. No offense to anyone, but that picture of Maria has a horrible quality, I'm sure I could get a better picture. So my question is, how can I upload a new picture? Next, you know how there are scans of that Gears of War sourcebook, I was wondering, I can't get, but if you or someone else gets it can you put all the pages under the file, and even show a picture of Benedicto and Sylvia? Please?

Sincerely, Gearslover01

[edit] Hey

Look at this awesome and sexy cosplay of Anya --Jack Black 01:16, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

 :)--Jack Black 09:25, 25 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] RE:Battlestar Galactica

Best ending of a tv show i ever seen. So many moments that I almost die from excitement. The cylons fighting older cylons in hand to hang combat, when racetrack (my fav Raptor pilot) died, Balter getting back with Six. Then the President dying from cancer, plus the epic battle! It was a great ending and the twist in the ending. --Jack Black 00:34, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

It was insane, usually I always have something to nick pick about, but they just did everything 110%, If they don't get a award I will never forgive the Emmys.--Jack Black 00:47, 26 June 2009 (UTC)
Ron Moore is a genesis! I'm going to ordered Lost on netflex.--Jack Black 00:55, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Gears of War Comic

He'd or She uploaded all the comics to youtube, some of the words bubbles you cant read some you can, but regardless you can see the pictures :)--Jack Black 08:03, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Help

EightyOne, I was looking through the history of Sylvia Santiago to see who figured out how she died. I think it was you. How did you find out? I know it was from the source book but do you have it? If you do, than is there a picture of Benedicto annd Sylvia? Thanks, --Gearslover01 17:04, 26 June 2009 (UTC) over and out.

[edit] How?

EightyOne, I was looking through the files of Benedicto and Sylvia and in the history I think it said your the one that said that they both died falling in an Emergence hole. I believe that but I have on question, how do you know that? Do you have the sourcebook or did someone else tell you that? If you have the sourcebook can you post up the picture of Benedicto and Sylvia? Thanks again --Gearslover01 20:09, 26 June 2009 (UTC) over and out!

[edit] Help

How can you nominate for the article of the month. I wish to nominate one article, QUEEN MYRRAH. So much stuff to talk about with a mysterious past and a great picture for July. Thanks, --Gearslover01 19:05, 29 June 2009 (UTC) over and out.

How do you add External Links section? I wanted to add it to this

http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/index.php?title=Beneath_the_Surface:_An_Inside_Look_at_Gears_of_War_2&action=history

[edit] Eightyone

EightyOne, I was just going to talk to JacktheBlack, did you just get the cover? The cover is the only one in poor quality. I was going to ask if he could print off the page by page since I can only do one and upload the same picture. Oh by the way, guess who got the sourcebook? SUCESS! Talk to you later, --Gearslover01 03:41, 4 July 2009 (UTC) over and out?

Go for it.--Jack Black 08:42, 4 July 2009 (UTC)
Thanks 81. I will not get the comic until next week since Independence Day. And we can use the info and pics for the wikia!--Jack Black 11:07, 4 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Gill Gettner

Guys, Gill Gettner is a Woman. It's clearly stated in the second book on Gear of Wars, "Gears of Wars: Jacinto's Remnant", at page 176. quote from the book: "...Gettner was a patient lady, for sure, waiting there like some vulture until she got some trade..."

[edit] New show

Hey 81, I'm watching this new show on HBO don't know if they have that in England but its call True Blood and have to deal with vampires and humans co-existence in the deep south (you kinda have to know the history of America). The show has a love story in it but it no twilight! I highly recommend it.--Jack Black 12:47, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Request

I would like the two images for the COG and Coalition of Ordered Government's Army, the official COG logo and the COG army logo the one on the King Raven and chest plate.--Jack Black 22:22, 8 July 2009 (UTC)

Can you make it white, have it connect and expand the width while rounding out the points on the edges?--Jack Black 15:11, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
I can go with it.--Jack Black 15:11, 9 July 2009 (UTC)
I'm looking for something like this.--Jack Black 15:16, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] New Categories

My current major project is too list the animals and creatures used by the Locust Horde. But should be cate them as? Animals?--Jack Black 19:30, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

Hmm true, what about the Heart Leech and Kryll, both attack Locust.
Hollow Creatures would be the best choice.--Jack Black 19:45, 10 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Gold Mine?

or Imulsion field?

It's bigger then we thought its chris barlett the guy that got the job at Epic games in a Storm trooper outfit and that means the Locust letters are cannon, his credit at :41. We hit bigger then an Imulsion field we found the whole fracking middle east!--Jack Black 15:11, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] COG Department of Health symbol

Side note i need to find all the collectibles descriptions from GoW2.--Jack Black 20:13, 11 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Help

EightyOne, that picture of Dom and Maria under the Santiago family, can you put that same picture under Maria profile under search? Thanks, --Gearslover01 20:53, 11 July 2009 (UTC) over and out!

[edit] RE:Activity and image licensing

My bad. FYI i got Gears of War issue 8! --Jack Black 22:01, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

On articles no. The dialogue is the collectibles from Gears of War 2. But info like Operation:Hollow Storm was a do or die literary! They did not teach them how to used the grindlifts to go back up but hinted they can't. And Harper said "everyone got called in didn't matter if you were sick or not". And it seem Harpers dig zone was not attack. And the Locust captured HUNDREDS of gears! But Jace was in it did not talk and it dos not show how Harper got a new pair of Armor or how he made it back to the surface. It didn't even show the family he saved expect for there back. But I loved the comic.--Jack Black 22:17, 13 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Road to Ruin and the issue of Canon

Since Road to Ruin has two ways to begin it (one stealth the other gun blazing) the fact that an "old friend" is shown. What do we do on this issue. Its a deleted scene but shows what happen too the old friend.--Jack Black 22:17, 18 July 2009 (UTC)

I'd placed all the videos in the forums.--Jack Black 17:20, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Template Issues

Hey was wondering if you could help me with this template dude its kinda confusing me :) Cheers in advance, http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/Template:Book_Info -- Royal Theron 22:51 GMT, July 24 2009

[edit] Thanks for the help

ok thanks.--The manslayer23 00:31, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] EightyOne

DO YOU HAVE JACINTO'S REMNANT?! If you do I have a job for you. I got a louzy date from Amazon so now Jacinto's Remnant will come on August 5th. So this is my job. As you may know, Maria is my specialty on this site, and I was planning to write anything about her from the book when it came out , now I can't do it. This is my job I want YOU of JACKTHEBLACK to write about Maria, just you two, I only trust you or the admins on wiki, so if you could, only you add information? please write back. Thanks a lot, --Gearslover01 00:41, 29 July 2009 (UTC) over and out!

Don't worry I have it. My plan is to update little info on the first read and on the second read I will ripe the book of all the info it has.--Jack Black 09:44, 29 July 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Template issues again :)

Hey could you amake the template i made look more like yours, its the child santiago deaths template, i copid the code from the stub template but don't know how to change the size or anything. Cheers in advance--Royal Theron 19:22, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

Cheers for the help man :) --Royal Theron 19:32, 30 July 2009 (UTC)

So you and gearslover1 and jacktheblack are pretty young huh thats kool. how long have yall being doing this.--The manslayer23 01:06, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] btw

We have 800 plus now.--Jack Black 14:50, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

I know what you mean. Comcast was "upgrading" aka shit happens. But yeah the book is pure win! There is so much info i think it will push us too 900 pages at least. PS I posted all the videos from road to ruins in the forums in case you can't get it.--Jack Black 15:36, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] New rules

Since Gears is going beyond the game and the franchise is going into Comics and Books, should we only have admins that not only played the games but read either the books or comics?--Jack Black 19:56, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

81 thank you for my talk page, I am sorry you had to do it though. Oh by the way, Jack's idea on the admins is peferct. I have read both books and I have also read several of the comics. Your'e awsome! Thanks, --Gearslover01 15:57, 5 August 2009 (UTC) over and out!

[edit] RE:Holiday

I prefer Chairman :) but I'll handle it don't get caught wearing a skirt!--Jack Black 00:03, 11 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] New spoiler Policy

  • After going to Halopedia I found this [1] maybe it made sense or I just love banning people.--Jack Black 05:57, 21 August 2009 (UTC)
Glad to have you back. And my internet problems are gone but sorry to see monkeys are messing with your connection but my guess is we post a warning like with Jacinto Remnant. And I requested a spotlight for gearspedia. --Jack Black 18:04, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
Crap; I'm guessing we can use this then http://gearsofwar.wikia.com/wiki/File:Wiki.png --Jack Black 18:11, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
This is why I need you btw how was Scotland?--Jack Black 18:16, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm glad to see you understand the theory of gravity first hand now ;). --Jack Black 18:26, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
On a serious note we have a lot of updating to do :( all the major characters need both past and present added to them and I think we need to make Human-Locust War longer.--Jack Black 18:36, 26 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] You ever seen this before?!?!?!?!?

http://emergence-day.com/ --Jack Black 20:07, 28 August 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Have you see this?

I wish Gears have trailers like theses! New Halo 3:OSDT trailer and it just a short version!.--Jack Black 00:06, September 6, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks for helping!

Thanks for adding license thing to my achievement pictures! - Buginoid 16.9.2009

[edit] Introductions

Hi, I'm BuzzSawBill, one of the newest (and definitely still green as grass) administrators. I'm still adjusting, so it's nice to (sorta) meet you, and I also wanted to thank you as well for fixing the licenses because I had no idea how to do that. BuzzSawBill 23:32, September 15, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Image warning

I love it!--Jack Black 03:45, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

Me too. BuzzSawBill 04:12, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Major Update

Beside the new image policy. We need to update ALL characters from Jacinto Remnant and some need updates from the comics. I been really lazy this time around :(. We have a lot of work on our hands.--Jack Black 14:29, September 16, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] It'd be nice

If you could add a "Vehicle" tab on the sidebar and it'll send the clickie to a page that looks like the one when you click "Character". And I'd like to know if I can edit pages that look like the "Character" page. Cause I got a few things I can add to make it look nicer, and more info.--PRIVATE GREY 14:52, September 17, 2009 (UTC) Scratch the whole vehicle tab thing cause Jack just told me. But I'd still like to know if I can edit the forsaid page(s). --PRIVATE GREY 14:54, September 17, 2009 (UTC) Thanks. I just thought there were a few categories that could be added/subtracted--PRIVATE GREY 11:16, September 22, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thanks Man

Thanks. I could just report anybody that repeats it, but if you find blocking the IP address a better solution, and less annoying, then yeah.--PRIVATE GREY 14:09, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Off note. The comic compilation is the one by Joshua Ortega, right?--PRIVATE GREY 14:19, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bot

I'm okay with it. And Sorry i have not been online, monkeys took over comcast again.--Jack Black 16:58, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

Can we call it Jack...? Or give it an pic of Jack on it user page?--Jack Black 18:57, September 30, 2009 (UTC)
never mind seen the pic.--Jack Black 18:58, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] re: EightyBot

Done. Thanks for the congrats! Cool avatar, by the way. =)

And yeah, long time no talk. How are things going with the wiki these days? JoePlay@Wikia (talk) 20:11, September 30, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Allfathers

Check out Allfathers Garden. I revised evrything except the release date sentence and tip (witch I think should be changed or deleted) I'm going to be headed toward borders this week to try to pick up the DC strategy guide to get an overhead view. Anyway, tell me if I have the go ahead to do that to the other DC maps. Oh I also need a person to make a Horde strat section.--PRIVATE GREY 18:22, October 1, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Article of the Month Question Image Template

I was looking on the Main page and I noticed we need to put up an Article of the Month for October. BuzzSawBill 02:04, October 3, 2009 (UTC) Also, I was talking to Jack and we're thinking of creating a image request template for the longer articles and walkthroughs that need them. BuzzSawBill 03:40, October 3, 2009 (UTC)

I think that duplicates and incorrect images could be something that we can handle. The more important aspect in my opinion is that it'd give us another category to work from, like with stubs and the clean-up. BuzzSawBill 04:23, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much for making the template (remind me to ask you how to make them one of these days). Jack also mentioned that he wanted more of the templates to have a more canonical basis so I modified the template so that it did (I went with Niles). If you or Jack do not like it, then feel free to change it back. 

But thanks again, I've already tagged at least a dozen articles that we can hunt images or screenshots down for when any of us have free time. BuzzSawBill 04:57, October 6, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Gears of War 2 BD

I found an link to watch all bones dicks content. We should add all info we can. And we need to work on to decide what we need to do. From lack of IP's and Users activity to fixing articles.

--Jack Black 08:43, October 5, 2009 (UTC)

I was hoping to do blitz on Gears of War forums, inviting new users and so on, hoping to get the "brighter" users to join us. Like how Joeplay got that unofficial gears of war forum in a deal with us. On the army issue its put on hold do to me having unbalance hip. On the university, congrats, may i ask what school? And I'm going to make an effort to back into JRem.--Jack Black 22:54, October 6, 2009 (UTC)
Thanks and best of lucky at York.--Jack Black 00:56, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Not the COG-Stranded War

but we can named it after the Island. Maybe like the "Vectes Conflict" or Vectes Island dispute. And we create an page for the Stranded group that is lead by Massy.--Jack Black 20:24, October 7, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] More proof that Sera is not a colony.

[edit] True Blood

Season two finish a few weeks ago and the only show I'm watching is Clone Wars, Mighty Boosh, and Dexter (serial killer that kills murders and so on but here the twist! He's a blood spatter analyst in the Miami Metro Police Department). But back on True Blood its get better as the show progress.--Jack Black 21:26, October 8, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Bug?

I think I found a little bug with the map tab thingy. When you click on Way Station, it doesn't highlight it white like it should. It's just odd.--PRIVATE GREY 23:22, October 10, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Cat subgroup

I think we should create a category subgroup on locations. Like if its a building in Jacinto, it would be under Jacinto's location.--Jack Black 03:39, October 12, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Delta-Two?

Watched this. Dom and Fenix called them Delta-2 inside the prison. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fothknFX2RA&feature=related --Jack Black 09:00, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

Yeah its a squad.--Jack Black 09:10, October 13, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] inactive

My charger is gone now and for some small time i will be inactive. but im not leaving.(ps i hate my friends laptop.--JacktheBlack 16:28, October 18, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Article of the Month & GOW1 Achievements

Hey EightyOne, I was wondering if we'd come to a consensus about what the November Article of the Month is going to be? I'm trying to tidy up Niles as much as I can since he's the only one with a Support in his section, but if Operation Hollow Storm or the Evacuation of North Gate are still in the running, we need to decide this week. BuzzSawBill 18:43, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

P.S. I also think that the individual Gears of War 1 Achievement articles should be deleted because there is a complete list of them and no individual articles for the Gears of War 2 Achievements. BuzzSawBill 19:08, October 25, 2009 (UTC)

Thank you very much about Niles. I'll be putting on finishing touches this week so that it'll be ready by Sunday. Also as I suggested on Deletion talk page, I think if no one objects by the end of the week (although negotiable), candidates for deletion category should be cleaned out. And thanks for the heads up about Eightybot, hopefully we won't ever do anything this large scale again, but I'll keep it in mind for future reference. BuzzSawBill 19:16, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] I'm Back

Hey eighty one i'm back, had a lot of issues with something that came up sorry i couldn't give you guys any notice but i'm back now and ready to help again. --Royal Theron 11:48, October 26, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] ICON

Guten tag 81. Do you know how to make one of those little text blocks things I think you or Jack have that has a picture and a description that reads, "This user has gotten the (so and so) achievement"? If so, could you send me the text in order to make one on here? Please and thankyou.--PRIVATE GREY 17:57, October 30, 2009 (UTC)

I was a little trigger happy when i seen that pop up. :D, but back on Gearspedia. We need new fun facts and before I left what was I doing? I think I was uploading images from youtube and reading the book.--JacktheBlack 23:47, November 1, 2009 (UTC)

I'd google "Gears of War artist" looking for tech designer. But I got info from the art book.--JacktheBlack 21:50, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Thank you

Thank you for the award. BuzzSawBill 16:23, November 5, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Redirects

I didn't really get what you meant by "redirects to do count towards the number of articles". After that I don't know what to say. I guess I just thought of spending more time here than on halopedia. PX173 11:48, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

K, thanks for the clarification. PX173 13:59, November 6, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Man I have a eye

@2:22 look at the second vehicle next to the Rigs, remember that certain Junker? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OSo9D3b64Eo --JacktheBlack 09:31, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] btw

Can you clean this image up . I got permision to use the image from deviantart.--JacktheBlack 11:59, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] Left Hand Menu

I think it would be better if we changed certain aspects of the left hand menu such as characters to not focus on specific characters but to focus on character groups such as stranded, cog personel etc. Also could we change the books tab to be literature instead and have tabs a little like Halopedia (http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page) With novels and comics having their own sub tabs. What do you think? -Royal Theron 22:47, November 9, 2009 (UTC)

[edit] nice

wow, you got alot of edits-user:JosephFrost0304

[edit] Jack's absence

Hey EightyOne, Jack's charger has gone out, so he's going be offline for awhile. He wanted me to ask for you to work on the mission template so it can match the colors of the battle template. Other than that, Happy Thanksgiving. BuzzSawBill 15:19, November 26, 2009 (UTC)

  • Also, I think that we could use a template for articles about or that contain information on books/games that haven't been released yet. BuzzSawBill 18:03, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
Believe me, I understand all too well how it is to be swamped. I've had to cut heavily back on my editing as well because of my schoolwork.
I think you're right in that we can hold off on an unreleased template; I just saw it on the Mario and Zelda wiki sites and thought it was interesting. But don't worry too much about your absence right now because 1. real life trumps wiki, and 2. we're in a low traffic time with the lack of news on the Gears of War video game part of the franchise. Just take a look at the templates when you get a chance. And also, Happy Holidays. BuzzSawBill 21:59, November 28, 2009 (UTC)
