You're working on a video game page so I would look at [[Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3]]. You cannot edit that page because it has been locked by the admins, but you can still "View the Source".

Heavy Fire: Afghanistan

Your page for Heavy Fire: Afghanistan is severely lacking and the format is very wrong. Are you planning to work more on the page? If screenshots and more information is not added soon, the page will be deleted. I would encourage you to look at other pages on the site to see how the page should be formatted. --Zackmann08 17:16, 2 July 2012 (CDT)

@Zackmann08, Yeah, I am currently working on this page right now, it looks pretty bad because to be honest this is my first page from scratch, I am going to be working on the images as well but I figured that someone in the community would be assisting with the page. I'm sorry again and I do assure you that I am on top of this page and am trying to keep it up to IMFDB standards. Valant 15:33, 2 July 2012 (PST)
