RE: Anvil GateEdit
I'm on Chapter 13, page 287. Really enjoying it so far. --The Forgotten Jedi 22:57, August 31, 2010 (UTC)
- Yes, I am aware. I didn't have access to a computer when reading certain parts of the book, so whatever appeared in those parts are not listed yet. I'm going back through now to get them in. Thanks for reminding me about the lock. That should be loosened now that the book is out. --The Forgotten Jedi 21:45, September 1, 2010 (UTC)
- I was fine without the Locust. This book was to establish the Lambent. There would be no way for the Locust to reach Vectes, so I'm fine with it. Coalition's End will have the Locust, I'm sure of it. I liked how many of the secondary characters that have been in a few novels got first names, and played bigger roles. Except for Andresen. For obvious reasons. Only thing that really bothered me was the Hammer of Dawn. Did the blast seem about 100 times bigger, cosidering that it took out a large cliffside when it was fired far from the shore? --The Forgotten Jedi 01:18, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- That would explain it. Always wondered how such a tiny laser could fry a whole planet. --The Forgotten Jedi 01:41, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- No regular Leviathan shows up. Just three Lambent ones. I think the Lambent one would win in a fight. It's bigger, stronger, and faster. --The Forgotten Jedi 01:44, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- I know, it's great. Going to be a lot of work. --The Forgotten Jedi 02:08, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Yeah, I was wondering about that. Sorry it's happened to you so much. --The Forgotten Jedi 03:02, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Do that. Me or one of the other admins will move if for you. If we can move profiles. Is that possible? --The Forgotten Jedi 03:14, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Did you write it down? --The Forgotten Jedi 03:34, September 2, 2010 (UTC)
- Good. I hope you don't have anymore trouble. --The Forgotten Jedi 03:43, September 2, 2010 (UTC)

RE : Image request Edit
File:Arabdrone.jpg --JacktheBlack 10:12, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
- No problem mate, just keep in mind that we don't know what kind of Drone it is.--JacktheBlack 18:48, February 6, 2011 (UTC)
RE: New box art Edit
I like it. Looks like some kind of living blimp. Likely a counterpart to the Raven that can drop off troops, now that the hollow is flooded.--The Forgotten Jedi 02:18, February 25, 2011 (UTC)
- Excellent find! Since you found it, go ahead and make the article.--The Forgotten Jedi 02:16, February 26, 2011 (UTC)
- Nice work. I made the nessecary adjustments.--The Forgotten Jedi 03:07, February 26, 2011 (UTC)
- Upload it, and mark it as copyrighted from the drop down menu of choices. Its pretty simple.--The Forgotten Jedi 04:59, February 26, 2011 (UTC)
- I don't know. Maybe you are trying to upload it as a different file type than it actully is?--The Forgotten Jedi 05:25, February 26, 2011 (UTC)
- Huh. Well, this is outside my area of expertise. Sorry.--The Forgotten Jedi 05:35, February 26, 2011 (UTC)

RE: image requestEdit
Hi Gears4Life. I cropped out the ships from the upper right part of that image, then tweaked the sharpness and contrast to make it look better, and uploaded it here. Is that what you were asking for? JoePlay 
(talk) 00:45, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
- How's this? JoePlay (talk) 01:08, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
- Its fine.--JacktheBlack 13:56, March 1, 2011 (UTC)
hey dude im frenzy1012 and i read that you know alot about gears of war, what do you think the best part of gears of war 3 will be and why?
Rollback rights Edit
I've given you rollback rights, which allows you to undo vandalism from the recent changes page, instead of having to go into history. Rollbacking will undo all edits a user has done concurrently to a page. If a vandal is going on a spree and neither I nor Jack are around to ban him, contact someone at the main wiki site to have them banned.--The Forgotten Jedi 17:56, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
- This is the main wiki site. And I see you've talked with JoePlay before. You could just leave a message on his talk page. Now that I think about it, we need another Admin on the site IMO, and you are a responsible user. I'm going to promote you, so you will have the power to ban vandals.--The Forgotten Jedi 18:35, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
- They all can be rollbacked. If you don't see the option, it's likely because there are multiple edits to that page, so you just need to hit the little arrow next to those changes to have them all so up at once. And yes, please do use your powers wisely. When you ban someone, make sure there is a good reason, and that you ban them appropriately. Don't ban someone forever if disagree with their edit, or if they are disrespectful. Now, for vandals, ban them forever, and make sure you mark that they can't leave messages on talk pages. If you aren't sure how long someone should be blocked, ask me or Jack and we will take a look.--The Forgotten Jedi 18:45, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
- Any vandalism at all, from removing content to just inserting nonsense, is grounds for an immediate and permanent block. If someone vandalizes once, they are likely to do it again, so why have the block expire is the way if figure it. Oh, and if someone posts GOW3 information form leaked videos, that is grounds for a permanent block as well.--The Forgotten Jedi 19:18, July 14, 2011 (UTC)
- No, that is good. I have a no tolerance policy for vandals, and that was a vandal.--The Forgotten Jedi 01:08, July 15, 2011 (UTC)

- For some reason I'd thought you where Gearslover1. My bad.--JacktheBlack 04:45, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
- And I'd just realized I'd been talking to you instead of Gearslover1 for last day and half.--JacktheBlack 04:46, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
- No problem, I guess the "Gears" in our names got you mixed up, huh? lol----User:Gears4Life
Coalition's End Apps Edit
When putting appearances in, make sure they are going in alphabetical order.--The Forgotten Jedi 20:10, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
Oh, my bad.----User:Gears4Life
- Also, make sure to mark if they appear in flashbacks, if it is there first appearance, and if they are only mentioned.--The Forgotten Jedi 20:31, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
RE:Summer Edit
I do see it but summer as been referred falling on the month of Bloom. Source page 253.--JacktheBlack 06:24, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
- Do what I did to Storm.--JacktheBlack 16:10, August 5, 2011 (UTC)
Hello, i'm sorry to bother you but is it ok if i ask you a quick question?
Do you have any idea where Tyrus is found in sera? Or where i could find a map of sera?
Any information you give is greatly appreciated, thanks for your help.

Question about chatEdit
Hi I'm new to this wiki, and I was wondering why we don't have a chat to discuss Gears of War?I would like for you (as an administrator) to get this wiki a chat so we and other users can chat. -Nitsuj77 19:55, January 7, 2012 (UTC)
ThanksEdit
I will contact them as soon as I can.Thank you for the response. -Nitsuj77 18:14, January 8, 2012 (UTC)

Something horrible happened to meEdit
I was playing some gears and turned of my x-box.The next day I went from lvl 41 to 1.Any Advice to bring me back up as of right now I barely level 3.Nolands Intergalactic House of Pancakes 21:20, February 20, 2012 (UTC)
- Go to the Epic games forums.--JacktheBlack 21:56, February 20, 2012 (UTC)
- This happened to me too. If you have an online account, if you sign in you should be able to recover your data., up to the last point you logged on. Other wise, I dont know. It is rather unfortunate.

RE: Seasons Edit
Reap is the only new one I've spotted, but there may have been another. I won't really be editing anything like that, since I want to get the new important character pages up quickly, so feel free to do so once you get the book.--The Forgotten Jedi 03:30, May 9, 2012 (UTC)
RE:Video Policy Edit
Its a unwritten rule. Should be written down but we are kinda lazy.--JacktheBlack 15:32, June 30, 2012 (UTC)
Hey Edit
Hey Iam new here and I just wanted to know if there was anything you needed or wanted done? TorpedoHead 23:17, July 1, 2012 (UTC)
Forum question Edit
Hi, if you are around, please could you look at Forum:Gears of War Quiz? (I'm leaving this for all admins active here this year). Thanks -- sannse (help forum | blog) 16:56, March 15, 2013 (UTC)
Minor edits to a few locked pagesEdit
1 - Could the "Sires" page be renamed to just "Sire"? We don't use the plural for anything else.
2 - Could the "Miner Drones" and "Sniper Drone" pages be renamed to "Miner" and "Sniper"?
2 - Could the "Template:Drone Variants" and "Template:Boomer Variants" pages also be unlocked?
3 - Can the Lambent Locust category be renamed to simply the Lambent category? It's a remnant from the pre-Gears 3 age. Thanks - Joveus 22:00, April 28, 2013 (UTC)
Removing a redirectEdit
Thanks for helping earlier. Is it possible to remove the Lambent Human redirect from the Former page so a new Lambent Human page could be made and serve as a disambiguation page for Sires and Formers? Thank you. - Joveus 12:47, April 30, 2013 (UTC)
