Proposed merge

Quotes from this game franchise have been spread across several other pages in addition to this one:

• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3
• Call of Duty 3
• Call of Duty 4
• Call of Duty: World at War
• Call of Duty: Black Ops
• Captain John Price
• John "Soap" MacTavish
• Nazi Zombies

Since the limits on quotations would call for each separate article to be quite small, I think a single, combined article on the franchise is the best way to showcase the best quotes that the franchise has to offer. ~ Ningauble (talk) 18:51, 9 April 2012 (UTC)

No problem; it has been done before with Ace Combat and Metal Gear. And why is there special pages for Price and Soap? Shades of Jackerson and his insistence in putting in a Starscream page. Do we also transfer any discussions from the articles' talk pages to this one as well?--Eaglestorm (talk) 01:00, 10 April 2012 (UTC)

I have completed the merger now. TeleComNasSprVen (talk) 09:55, 10 March 2014 (UTC)

Let us add more

For some reason, somebody doesn't let anyone add more quotes than the ones that are on already. How are we going to expand the article if we can't add more? 195.59.167.114 10:49, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

It appears you haven't read WQ:LOQ. Quit your whining. --Eaglestorm 14:24, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Okay, I have read them now. But why delete the one that keeps getting deleted? That one is much more in line than the really long one about airspace communication - and I find it more interesting. And I'm not whining. I think that those guidelines that everyone is intent on following are much too stingy, anyway. 195.59.167.114 14:29, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Well, your thread-starter line only confirmed that you are whining. Why are you complaining about what you call a "stingy" policy that was implemented two years ago? If you only read about the LOQ policy weeks ago when I noted it in my edit summaries instead of undoing the edit, then you wouldn't have come here and rat off. Can't hack the policy? get out of WQ. --Eaglestorm 14:47, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Look, I'm not looking for conflict here - I made a mistake. I'm sorry.195.59.167.114 14:29, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

Look, I don't know who sent Colonel Eaglestorm in here to lay down the law, but Wikiquote's policy on video games is extremely stingy. There are entire movies with virtually no notable dialogue at all, but apparently a game with a great deal of interesting dialogue must be forever condemned to three quotes. And for the record, I didn't see any "whining". I saw one guy making a reasonable request and you bullying him.

Sorry kid, but the policy sticks. Nice try with giving me ranks. And me 'bullying' him? I suppose you're the goddamn white knight. If you want to raise your concerns on the limits, why not do it on LOQ talk page instead of flaming me here. --Eaglestorm 02:48, 22 September 2011 (UTC)

The policy should change, that's my point. "Colonel" was a title given to you with massive sarcasm quotes, understand. And yes, I think I will. Talking with some guy who thinks he's a bigger deal than a full-bird Colonel just because he's a bloody Wikipedia editor is unlikely to yield meaningful results. And by the way, the first guy may be sorry, but I ain't. You owe that guy an apology. I'm not saying I as a person am better than you are, but I don't go slashing into people for being "whiners" at complete random. "goddamn white knight"... your words, mister. Not mine.

So now the page has been locked down. Absolutely ridiculous. Guess the bully owns the playground, huh? Seems like the "kid" got the last word, though. Good for him. (63.163.201.164 15:14, 1 March 2012 (UTC))

Page Name

I don't have an account for Wikiquote, but I have one for Wikipedia, which is Alec92 if you need to respond to this.

The name of the page *should* be Call Of Duty: World At War, I don't care if you think it's the 5th COD game, if they don't call it Call of Duty 5 it's not Call of Duty 5, just like Modern Warfare 2 isn't Call of Duty 6, or GTA IV isn't GTA 12 or something. 97.116.56.54 15:17, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

"Previews"

1."the rotten cancer of the fasicis Reich ravages Europe like a plague. Their relentless drive into our motherland steals the lives of men, women and children alike. The arrogance of their leaders, is matched only by the brutality of their soldiers. These are the darkest days of the Nazi occupation of Stalingrad
