My Article
Dear Subtank,

I understand why you would rather me add the article I created (red vs blue PSA's) to an existing article. What I do not understand is why I recived no warning of the page being deleted, and why I now have to spend another hour re-writing what I have already written. Could you not have given me a chance to transfer the information before you deleted it. With this in mind, I will re-create the page, and then transfer what I have written onto the main red vs blue page. Until I have done this, please do not delete the page again.

Regards - User:SargeD17

Problem reports
Hi Subtank,

I've noticed you use the report a problem feature rather frequently, which is great, but there are a number of templates you should be placing on articles instead of using this feature.

To propose a merge, use. If you dispute the facts of the article, use. If you think the article should be deleted, use.

Regards,

76.179.151.163- Subtank, I know you probably won't believe this, but I was testing all administrators to see if they actually do something or sit there and look threateningly down on you. This said, I would greatly appreciate it if you would restore my editing permission for HaloFanon. I would like to continue developing my work. Seeing now that administrators actually do do something, I will "behave". Please respond. Thank you.

Dear Subtank, Don't you think that if epilogue and boundless get there own pages then shouldn't onslaught and amplified get their own sections or subsections on Foundry's page. Heck they should even get there own pages but I'm not worried about that right now. I just think there is not enough information about these popular foundry variants when there should be a sufficient amount. Your better at creating stuff like this than me so it would be cool if you did it.

thanks,

P.S. I only wrote this because you deleted my subsections for these variants and i figured you could create them better.

Keep it up!
Dear Subtank,

I've been noticing your Halo 3 contributions. =] Continue the good work!

My Article
Recently, you posted in my article UNSCTTP://EPWW:COLEPROTOCOL/Virtualscav/fbr.091 that it did not meet wiki standards. I would love to fix it, but I am not that familliar with these guidlines. I was wondering if you could point out what you spotted that was wrong. This would be of great help, as it would let me be more accurate when writing my next article. In addition, could you check out my other new article, Viral Data Scavengers, and let me know if anything is wrong with this as well?

Interview!!
Hello, Subtank. First of all, I would like to tell you that I have gained Rollback Rights here on Halopedia, and that I have been promoted to Honor Guard Elite in the Covenant of Halopedia. But that is irrelevant. I am here to ask you a couple questions, nothing personal, of course.


 * 1) What is it like being an admin?
 * 2) Do you feel any different being an admin that you felt being a normal user? For example, do you feel a certain distance from other users? Do you feel as is you have lost some of the familiarity?
 * 3) Were you shocked when your own RfA was opened? How did you feel?

I hope those questions weren't too intrusive and/or personal! Now, let's be straight and truthful with each other. I believe that you are a very kind, honest user who is very decent and mature. You are a great vandal fighter, and a great veteran Halopedian. However, sometimes you are a little too nice, and you don't show your emotions much. What is your opinion of me?


 * With regards, hoping you are well, please reply on my Talk Page, — Lt.   Commander   Kouger  04:54, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * PS. You might want to fix your talk page, everything is centered and in a box.

Yeah, sorry about that...clearly not thinking straight. I did what I meant to do the next edit. However, it'd be nice to save the rollback to vandal edits and use undo, explaining why. The 888th Avatar (Talk) 09:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, I know you're a bit short of time, but still, I disagree. This wiki could also appoint more admins, the wiki has a surprisingly small number of them when considering the number of users there are. When undoing edits I always provide a reason, unless it is vandalism. Wikia says you should, in the name of courtesy and making it easier for other users viewing RC to see why the edit was undone. But still, you don't have to follow this, it's just a tip. The 888th Avatar  (Talk) 10:08, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Arbiter:
It's already on the discussion page, and is already ignored by the admins. The argument is simple: No source confirms that Thel Vadam ever achieved the rank of Supreme Commander (Admiral) of the Fleet of Particular Justice. One source mentions that he becomes a Shipmaster (Captain) within the Fleet. I've checked the book, Halo: The Cole Protocol. I've read the Author's blog. I've checked the new Halo Wars Timeline. However, no known link exists. The only proof that exists is that The Arbiter and Thel Vadam happened to serve in the same fleet with different ranks at different times.

The Counterargument is equally simple: "It's already here so it has to be true." "10 admins haven't killed it yet." "Why would they mention the fleet if you aren't supposed to jump to conclusions?"

The idea that the two are the same character is popular speculation. Is it possible? Sure. Is it confirmed? Not remotely. SinisterSamurai 19:56, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * First of all, he's not present during the events of Halo Wars. That information only applies to the other Arbiter. Secondly, Halo: The Cole Protocol is considered faulty in terms of details. The novel suffers various problems because of the new author's style of writing: The Novel did not address which month or day each event took place, thus Halopedia has to investigate, analyse and make assumptions to cover the errors of the novel, The Novel contradicts the previous established canon made by other novels. This, however, is excusable as Bungie fails to update its Halo Universe from time to time. Thirdly, based on the evidences showed by users who already obtained the novel, it seems that Thel Vadam is the Arbiter in the events of Halo 2 and Halo 3. So, setting up a formula >> . Coincidence occurs rarely. Here's a suggestion, start a thread in Bungie.net and grab the Staff's attention. Such grave issue should capture their attention...- <font color="#FF4F00">5 ub<font color="#FF4F00">7 ank (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 20:10, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * What " " do you speak of? Again, there is one support: The FoPJ link. And just as many users have been against the assumption as have been for it, so it's . And the biggest positive is "Halopedia is a wiki so it can't be wrong." Inconsistencies with TCP would be reasons to discount the theory, not support it.


 * "This, however, is excusable as Bungie fails to update its Halo Universe from time to time."

- What I said previously So far, there is no evidence which oppose the current fact, thus making the current fact as a valid point. Unless you manage to support your claim that the Arbiter is not Thel' Vadam, the article stays as it is. P.S. I don't have the novel and not planning on buying it. I suggest talking to Forerunner about this issue.- <font color="#FF4F00">5 ub<font color="#FF4F00">7 ank (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 21:03, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

What?
I have this Pop-up thing when I log on, and the links rickroll me. Why is this happening?

Gravity and Magnets (Science of Halo)
I noticed that you reverted my edit on the "Antigravity plate" described in 'Ghost of Onyx', so I thought I should probably explain the changes and why they were made. The changes I made were intended to make the entry more scientifically accurate. To explain this in better detail, I've broken down the inaccuracies point for point. BTW if you are interested in the science behind science fiction, I highly recommend this book >http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780385520690 1. "The Antigravity Plate was a technology invented by the UNSC. It was designed to create artificial gravity for the UNSC's Fleet of ships."

This is a contradiction in terms. An ANTIgravity plate could not possibly generate *gravity*. Gravity attracts matter, antigravity would repel it: they are polar opposites. The book never actually says they were used to generate "gravity", instead it says the reverse by calling it an "antigrav plate". I think the confusion comes from the fact that it generated "10 gs" of force, which fooled the Spartan's pressure sensors. But in reality this could have been from the beam pushing them into the floor from above, rather than below, which would have the same effect. I would assume that if it generated a pulling, or attracting force, it would simply be called a gravity plate. 2. "As of 2531, it was old technology, and they never quite panned out, but some were still around. What exactly they were intended to be used for was never specifically stated, but it is possible that they were to be used to lift heavy ordinance by causing it to float, lifting it up, and making it levitate for easy transport." This matches the novel, but contradicts the statements made in point 1. Here an *antigravity* device is described, yet other parts of the article describe a *gravity* generator. 3. "It is likely that they were based on the use of electromagnetism rather than actual gravity (all objects have magnetic attraction, but most are very weak. A powerful enough electromagnet could function as a pseudo-gravity generator), given the surprise of the UNSC to find true artificial gravity technology on the first Covenant ship they boarded." This is not likely at all for numerous reasons, and this shows a lack of understanding regarding magnets. For one, if it was simply an extremely powerful magnet, I imagine the author would simply call it a magnet. Depending on the polarity, a magnet can attract or repel, making it hard to understand why it would be called an "antigrav" plate. All objects do not have magnetic attraction, and diamagnets (like water) and paramagnets only acquire magnetic properties with the presence of an external electromagnetic field. The other problem here is that humans would be diamagnetic, meaning a *very* powerful superconductor would make us levitate, in other words it would do the opposite of what gravity does! So hey there you go, that's what the they mean by "antigrav" right? Let's not forget it's still a magnet, and a magnet that powerful would likely rip ear rings out of people ears and pull guns out of people hands, fry any electrical device and otherwise cause great harm. Simply put this type of device would be useless for generating any kind of "gravity" or "antigravity" inside anything other than an all plastic ship with people wearing entirely non-metalic objects. The reality is that if something were to generate actual gravity in a beam (as shown in the games and describe in the book) it would have to somehow produce gravitons (the hypothetical particle of gravity) or alternately "antigravitons". Scientists expect gravitons to exist, but we currently don't know how to "see" them, let alone create them. If we are given another 500 years, it's possible we may eventually figure out how to generate gravitons in a directed beam, but for now it's like cavmen trying to build an airplane. Regarding gravitons> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graviton http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=535 So I hope you will reconsider my edit and see that it was grounded in the terminology used in the books as well as a basic understanding of real life science.

Reverting your edits on McFarlane Toys
Dear Avatar_of_Chaos

I apologise for reverting your edits on the mentioned article. The main reason is organisation. This wiki has suffered enough messy articles with no categorisation whatsoever in the past and we're trying to prevent that to our best ability. If you keen on making those articles, I suggest merging them in one massive article like what the article has already.- <font color="#FF4F00">5 ub<font color="#FF4F00">7 ank (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 15:57, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Then why not categorize them beyond just "real life" and revamp the entire Action Figures section? That's part of my intent and since I'm particularly well-versed with the McFarlane figures I was hoping to use it as a template for how we might handle things. These are particularly notable given that the figure line now covers Halo 3, Halo Wars and ODST.

I've seen the number of total figures and total articles and lack of organization and I'd like to help fix that because when it comes to some of the merchandise and non-media Halo products the information that we do have is sorely lacking. I simply followed the existing practice of breaking them up by Series.

Rather than have individual pages for each figure I think that the best option is by Series or Major Product category rather than just lumping it all into one article since McFarlane Toys has already produced too much product to make that feasible, in my opinion.

Thoughts? --Avatar of Chaos 16:53, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Halo: Spartan Black inconsistency
PLEASE unlock the Halo: Spartan Black page because of an inaccuracy. The cover shows four Spartans, clad in Mark VI armor, when this is supposed to take place BEFORE the Battle of Reach. Before the Battle of Reach, Spartans had the Mark IV armor, and right before the Covenant invasion, were issued the Mark V. This is an inaccuracy overlooked by Marvel, and STRONGLY urge you with best speed to email the editors at Marvel. I already did though, but I just want it to be known strongly to them to revise that immediately.


 * First of all, the story is under production, thus it is possible that Black Team (the team mentioned in the novel) is one of the armour testers similar to Maria-062. Secondly, all we know for now are speculations based on the art posted by Marvel. Lastly, do note that Bungie is supervising the comic production, thus possibly adding new canon to the Halo Universe, not ignoring them.-  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 05:48, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, if you insist. I'm a die-hard Halo fan, you see, and want things to be as canon as it could be. Not that I don't mind non-canon, but I don't want non-canon to be directly tied into canon, then I think it ruins the value of what really happened.


 * Read this then...


 * Firstly, always sign in using the 4 tildes as so ~ . Secondly, almost everyone in Halopedia is a die-hard fan (I'm just a fan...). Thirdly, we cannot speculate if we don't have the proper sources to support it, that's why we didn't include the Armour Inconsistency.-  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 19:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

MOS question
Why are the Advantages and Disadvantages of a weapon supposed to be subcategories of Design Details?

I could see certain advantages of the design (like using HE bullets or operating on some principle), but advantages and disadvantages of the weapon as compared to another weapon seem to warrant separate sections below Design Details.

Could you perhaps clarify? -- Nutarama 22:48, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I can't really clarify why as the idea came from a Wikipedian friend of mine. However, judging from our articles, the advantages and disadvantages of weapon is to detail the flaws of the accuracy, ammunition, and/or design (like what you stated). That said, the main idea of these subcategories is to point out the main flaws of the weapon, not to compare with other weapons. I couldn't be any clearer. If the current response doesn't seem to answer your question, I apologise and will review the matter.-  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 06:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Could there also be a section on damage of something similar? Several articles, such as the M6D Personal Defense Weapon System, take up quite a bit of space saying how many shots are needed to kill an enemy.  This usually appears in the Advantages or Disadvantages section, but without a baseline to compare it to, the information doesn't seem to be an advantage of disadvantage (is 18-24 headshots to kill an Elite Zealot with the M6D good, bad, or indifferent? I can't tell).


 * Ah, for that matter, such information should be discarded as that information belongs to HaloWiki.Net. What is meant to be in advantages and disadvantages are, like I said before, flaws of accuracy, use of ammunition and/or design. Such information about how many kills is needed should be in the Tactics section.-  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 14:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Why do you keep reverting my changes to the Ark? The thing you're reverting it to isn't even correct. Lordaerun 22:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * First of all, I did't revert your changes. All I did was trimming the article down to Wiki Standards as pointed out in Project MOS. I only change the layout of the article and moved your sentences to the first paragraph of the article. Thus, if what I did is incorrect (As stated, I only moved and trimmed), technically, that would be your fault. :P -  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 22:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Drone Leader
Why did you delete the drone leader page??? They are clearly a distinct rank from both Drone Minors and Drone Majors. The Minors are green, with no shields at all, and they wear plasma pistols. Drone Majors are yellow, blue and silver, with very, very weak energy shields, and they wear plasma pistols/needlers. Drone Leaders are red/gold, with strong energy shields and brute plasma rifles. They are clearly higher rank than Majors, but the drone leader is the only official name they've been given, and they're clearly higher rank than majors. Please, re-create the page, I spent too much time creating the page last night, for some vandal to delete it

And it exists outside of firefight, haven't you played campaign? The Drone leader is the only official term that has been given, please re-create the page again.

Because, even if it is a different Rank, it is still a DRONE. Sort of like that Second Flood War thingy, I mean honestly? I'll just let that tail off.

 * Thanks for the source. Now, let's analyse the image. Notice it is divided into 4 sections (Infantry, Specialist, Leader and Hero). Now, let's see where the drone is placed. Infantry and Leader. Hmm.... this seems to show that there are only two ranks. Hmm.... now let's see the other species. Brute Minor/Major, Brute Stalker, Brute Captain, Brute Chieftain. Hmm... if I am correct, the Brute Captain is in the Leader. Seeing that the Brutes had their ranks listed out throughout the 4 sections, I think the Drone listed in the Leader section is a Drone Major.

 * Ok, I like the grouping of minor/major ranks into the infantry group, but wouldn't that mean the Drone Minor/Major would be grouped into that infantry group as well. You also suggested the Brute captains were put in the leader group, I looked and that seems to be the case, so couldn't it be possible that Drone Leaders could be Drone "Captains", this is just a suggestion, and could possibly start a whole new discussion, but I think a Drone Captain rank might make more sense than a Drone Leader rank. Field  Master   Spartansniper  4  50  23:27, October 11, 2009 (UTC)
 * It would make more sense but it's not official. Also, Drones are insects and acts similar like a bee or wasp and like insect, they have a hierarch: Workers, Engineers, Soldiers (two ranks: Minor and Major to show maturity. See Talk: Yanme'e), Drone Queen and possibly a Drone King. So, it would unlikely for them to have a Drone Captain... seeing that they all receive orders from the Drone Queen (which is probably under the control of the three Prophets.- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 23:35, October 11, 2009 (UTC)

Forge Objects
I'm fairly certain that my draft is complete... That is to say, while some costs and maxes are missing, the items themselves are present. Problem is, the page is huge -- takes a while to load, takes a while to edit, and it takes a lotta RAM even after it's loaded... I'd suggest breaking it into subpages by category (e.x. ), but I don't want to make the change (to the draft) without your approval. I also don't want to transfer the draft onto the official Forge Objects page until a decision (approve/deny) is made on whether or not it should be broken into separate lists.

If it is broken into separate lists, the main page can serve as an explanation of how to read the lists (grey cells mean an item isn't on that map; the text at the top is a description, at the bottom is a protip; etc.).

Please see Talk:Forge Objects; it would probably be good to continue the discussion there. <span style="background:#AADDAA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%"> DavidJCobb  22:32, September 2, 2009 (UTC)

An Attempt to Help
Well I may possibly be the worst template programer ever, but I may be able to offer a possibility on how to fix it. Instead of using the : thing to move the stub template to the middle of the page, you may be able to use additional coding to set the template to center. If it stays at the top of the page, then theoretically the template should work again without any problems. Hope this helps. ~ Blade bane ~  Anti-Vandal ~ 10:30, September 8, 2009 (UTC)Blade bane

 * Hmm. That is very strange. I would only be able to guess; and again I am a terrible programmer, that something is wrong with the span style. If you can not find the direct solution to this, you may have to ask wiki staff and ask if any changes have been made to the span class coding. If no solution can be reached whatsoever, you may also be able to put the template in a box, but this will undoubtedly make the template look hideous.

Issues with Ajax and bans
I was trying to edit a page on Halo Fanon a few minutes ago, and it gave me this:

The reason given is this: Autoblocked because your IP address has been recently used by "Sona 'Demal".

Note that you may not use the "e-mail this user" feature unless you have a valid e-mail address registered in your user preferences and you have not been blocked from using it. Your current IP address is 68.97.54.2, and the block ID is #3570. Please include all above details in any queries you make.

From the look of it, one of Ajax's bans screwed up and also banned me. Can you please fix this because I am NOT "Sona 'Demal" and I have not been involved in any vandalism or sockpuppetry. Also, you wouldn't happen to have any idea how Sona 'Demal was able to use my IP address when he clearly has no access to my computer.

 * IP addresses are temporary -- it's MAC addresses that are (mostly) permanent. What this means is that you could've ended up using this guy's IP address, if he or you were either using the same proxy or were connected to the same router/hub/etc.. Like, if you and he used computers on the same street (or otherwise nearby), for example, then you may have ended up getting his IP.

I thought I should inform you that the images used to replace the top banner that was originally the space elevator scattered over the savannah has a minor problem. A splice line straight through it. Also, the image over the Sidebar is simply underlayed with the Master Chief image. I'd recommend reverting until you can figure this out because of now, I'm not gonna lie, it looks pretty awful.

Help with HSW?
So Mator and I have been working on the Halo Stunting Wiki, and we've become aware of the fact that not all things can be verified with traditional sources (or even the semi-traditional ones, like YouTube videos). In particular, the history of stunts and the stunting community isn't citeable, as it wasn't recorded at the time or by a large number of sources -- it's not common knowledge... Only way to find sources would be to make them, and that wouldn't exactly be credible... ("Oh, he made that source just so he could cite it! That 's reliable!")

To that end, we thought of a system to solve this problem, and we figured that your advice on the matter would be invaluable. Here's a link to a draft of the system. Is it too restrictive? Not too restrictive enough? Altogether terrible? (It may be all three at the same time...) <span style="background:#AADDAA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%"> DavidJCobb  02:54, November 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * I recommend reviewing other wikis' methods of citing, such as the one we have in Halopedia.Hint: Copy and Paste Additionally, I have two question on the Expert list; why does the wiki require such list and is it similar to HOTM (Halopedian) and WOTM (Wikipedian... I think it exist)?- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 11:59, November 14, 2009 (UTC)


 * Do you mean that I should copy and paste review Help:Ref?
 * The Expert idea comes from the fact that some things aren't evident from common sense, can't be reliably cited, can't be proven through logic, etc.. The history of several common stunts and of the stunting community are examples of this: these things weren't recorded when they happened, so... The only ways to document/cite such things would be:
 * Don't document them.
 * Create sources for them.
 * There's also the fact that even if someone unconnected to the wiki documented these things, we'd still have to be able to prove that they're trustworthy in order to cite the documentation, so we'd need something like this Expert system anyway.
 * Cite an expert -- someone who is intimately familiar with stunts.
 * As for the usage of a list... Basically, Experts would be an absolute last resort -- they'd be sources with about the same amount of validity and credibility as actual proof (such as YouTube videos of stunts). Due to the level of trust given to Experts, a very high degree of exclusivity would be needed to prevent abuse. (As in, we'd almost literally accept only the Einsteins and the Newtons and the Norrises of stunting. There'd be tests on stunting competency and maybe even a kind of "background check", where they have to prove how long they've been stunting.) We wouldn't let just anyone become an Expert, as that could lead to the following kinds of citations:
 * So... Decent idea? Bad idea? Worse idea? <span style="background:#AADDAA;display:inline-block;height:16px;padding-right:4px;line-height:1em;position:relative;top:-3px;-moz-border-radius:0 50% 50%">[[Image:DavidJCobb_Emblem.svg|16px]] DavidJCobb  02:34, November 15, 2009 (UTC)

 * An additional check/balance which could/would be added to the system would be for all experts to examine what is said by their fellow experts. This way, it is a collaborative effort to document that which has only been passed down "in lore."  And the distortion of facts is minimized, if not completely removed.

Similarities
Do you not think it worthwhile to mention some examples of how things in the Halo Universe may be based off of modern day models? This would give viewers something real to read about and possibly help them associate better with the Halo Universe and its many components. I understand that, for the most part, this is pure speculation. But if you look on many other pages, you see most people do not know for sure whether or not what they say is completely true. They put it out there as a theory, and that's part of the fun in editing these things. We get to put our own ideas out there (provided they are not ridiculous or implausible) for others to see and build off of. Removing all these edits seems like censorship on your part. <span style="background-color:firebrick; color:skyblue; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px"> ΘяɪɸɴF22  |<span style="background-color:firebrick; color:silver; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  Me<span style="background-color:firebrick; color:silver; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px">  Talk    Contributions  |<span style="background-color:firebrick; color:gold; -moz-border-radiusbottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  CAG 14:19, December 2, 2009 (UTC)

"I understand that, for the most part, this is pure speculation."

- Your statement


 * Again, they're speculations and have no grounds in Halopedia unless supported with evidences. Similarities with realworld applications should be avoided as almost everything in the Halo Universe is inspired by something in the present-day/world. The Ma5B is similar to the FN2000, the Longsword is similar to the B2 Bomber, the Warthog is similar to the Hummer, the UNSC military system is similar to the US military system. Everything is similar to something in the realworld!

Mood swings are illogical. They only make things worse. If everything is similar to the real world, I do not know why these similarities should not be mentioned, at least in the trivia. This site, in my opinion, is a collection of known facts about the Halo Universe but is also home to a wide variety of speculation and theorizing. I'm attempting to build a connection to something from the real world so that people could go read the external links and read for themselves what it's all about. In this case, they could go learn about the Maverick, which may lead them to read about other components of aerial warfare. I understand that is not the purpose of this site, but it does provide education to those who seem to have little (hence the poor grammar in some editing). <span style="background-color:firebrick; color:skyblue; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px"> ΘяɪɸɴF22  |<span style="background-color:firebrick; color:silver; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  Me<span style="background-color:firebrick; color:silver; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px">  Talk    Contributions  |<span style="background-color:firebrick; color:gold; -moz-border-radiusbottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  CAG 14:38, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Poor Grammar can be forgiven. Making a minor mistake such as grammar errors is part of the learning process. Speculations without any evidence have no place in Halopedia, ever. Without any evidence, we cannot say this is similar to this, even if the description is similar but not identical. This site, in my opinion, is a collection of known facts about the Halo Universe but is also home to a wide variety of speculation and theorizing - Yes, this is indeed true but these speculations are backed up with evidence from novels and other official media of the Halo Universe, thus allowed.

I agree with you in that evidence should be cited, rather than just making a guess or putting it apples to apples. However, if you go to the LAU-65D/SGM-151 page, you'll see that the last trivia excerpt is basically the same kind of speculation I've been making. No evidence is cited; the fact is there because the Missile Pod really does act like the Javelin, much the same as the Lancer would act as a Maverick. Future or not, an air launched, ground directed missile would still act in the same way as AGMs of modern day. As for the Pelican, its theory here, because if you study lifting body principles, as well as many other aerodynamical research studies, you will see that this is indeed a very real possibility for the Pelican. Perhaps all theories (lifting body and powerful propulsion) are correct. But they should still be mentioned, and the evidence exists on Wikipedia, on the lifting body page. I'd try and draw an image for you explaining how the air flow across the Pelican's fuselage works, but I'm not good at that kind of stuff. <span style="background-color:firebrick; color:skyblue; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px"> ΘяɪɸɴF22  |<span style="background-color:firebrick; color:silver; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  Me<span style="background-color:firebrick; color:silver; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px">  Talk    Contributions  |<span style="background-color:firebrick; color:gold; -moz-border-radiusbottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  CAG 15:22, December 2, 2009 (UTC)


 * Removed. The FGM-148 can only be launched individually (hence the F) where as the LAU/SGM-151 can be launched either via air, silo-launched, underwater or in space (hence the LAU and S). The G denotes that it is used for surface attacks and the M denotes that it is part of the Guided-Missiles/Drone-fired family. The Missile Pod firing system is similar like all realworld guided-missile firing system but it is not identical.

Fortunately, I know two physics majors, in addition to an aerospace engineer. I'll get an explanation from one or all of them, and do my best to supply you with a picture. Note, it would be a side-view demonstrating the difference in pressures created when air passes over the fuselage.

It's notable. That would be why. And irrelevant of what you think, wiping the talk page is baffling. Because it would be the perfect place to discuss this. --Sandor051 21:07, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with Sandor. Wiping the talk page is pointless and appears reminiscent of the Cold War days when Russia blamed all it's failures on something impossible and then erased all pertinent evidence. Out of that, only the erasing of evidence applies here. The talk page should be kept as a record of debated materials. There's bound to be someone who will come along later thinking to put some tidbit in a page that has already been agreed upon as irrelevant. Except this fellow wouldn't know that, since the talk page is empty.

- You


 * That right there sounds worth mentioning in the talk page so you don't have to have the same issue again with another editor. What if you encounter this problem again? Had you left that part of the talk page alone, the editor might have been smart enough to look at it and realize that it had already been addressed. For this reason I believe that any piece of information referring to the article, no matter how seemingly irrelevant, should be left alone, so that some bozo doesn't repeat the same thing all over again. I understand why you would want to remove the social aspects, but if this socializing is discussing the article and what to do with it, then that too should be left alone. I thought that was what a talk page was for. So far, I haven't seen anything in a talk page worth deleting.


 * There is probably some two-watt out there who put something ridiculous in a talk page (or will). Perhaps it was a duplicate. That should be deleted, but perhaps a new subtopic should be created addressing the deletion of such content? This would allow users to chip in and voice their opinions as to the relevancy of this article, instead of just deleting it outright and leaving some users inquisitive as to why.

 * Halopedia is not a social site. If they insist on doing so, just use the Message Board feature provided by Wikia. Again, if it is related to the article and it could improve the article, it would stay. If the discussion strays off from the original topic, then it will be removed.
 * Regarding the voiceactor issue, it would be far better to have a link to the voiceactor profile (example, "He/She was voiced by INSERT VOICEACTOR HERE) rather than having a trivia which goes as such "This SPARTAN has an English accent" which is redundant and does not give any real information.

 * I understand non-relevent topics will be removed. I'm not arguing that they stay. I am arguing that minor, seemingly inconsequential topics be left in so that something similar is not repeated. Otherwise you may have to deal with 100s of editors thinking the mention of an accent is noteworthy. I see how it looks so insignificant and trivial that it should be forgotten, but I argue that it stay so you don't have similar problems down the road. Additionally, this should reduce the number of pointless or trivial edits if users can look at the talk page and see that what they want to put in is already addressed.

Yes this Wiki isn’t a social site. But a debate on whether or not the accent is notable is exactly why the talk page is there. So we can decide what relevance the information has, and lay out arguments for/against inclusion. And we do have precedence, for example it is considered notable that Byrne is the only Irish character seen thus far in Halo. Further I would consider it notable to mention if a character had a Chinese accent. It’s an integral part of their character, or at least it influences the way they are interpreted, a filter through which the user percieves them. --Sandor051 12:58, December 16, 2009 (UTC) "Regarding the voiceactor issue, it would be far better to have a link to the voiceactor profile (example, "He/She was voiced by INSERT VOICEACTOR HERE) rather than having a trivia which goes as such "This SPARTAN has an English accent" which is redundant and does not give any real information.

Subtank, I'm not even sure why you're a moderator. There's a talk page for a reason, to discuss facts and to see if it's relevant to add into the page. To discuss what seems to be irrelevant and then see if it's relevant enough to some people to add in. That's what the point is. You even told me that. However, you keep walking into the talk pages and wiping them clean because they are discussing "irrelevant information" even if it is quazi-relevant. You're contradicting yourself. Try harder next time.

FlamingRain 21:49, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you not read any of the above statements? Subtank wipes sections that are irrelevant, social or unneeded discussions. I have seen this in all the wipes she has done. If a discussion topic isn't relevant to the article, or its plain unneeded or obvious, it goes off. - Major.png Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 21:52, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yet is that not the point of a talk page? To determine the relevancy of new information? That's what it was last time I checked. Once the information is agreed upon as irrelevant by the contributions of other users on the talk page, then it could be removed, but I believe it should stay, so that no one else down the line asks the same question.

 * Yes, but that's when a discussion topic is unclear whether or not its relevant. If something is clearly unneeded, social or plain obvious discussion, there isn't a need to consult before removal. Yes, a talk page is for discussion in accordance to an article, yes it is to determine relevancy for information. But I repeat, if a discussion topic is clearly unneeded, its to be removed. Take this case for example. Or in this, in which she restored relevant discussion content. Subtank doesn't go into talk pages and madly start deleting or restoring whatever she likes. There's a reason she (and others who do it) do that. - Major.png Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 22:09, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * I understand that. I know Subtank does not have a motive for spontaneously deleting material from talk pages, nor was I implying that she did/does. What I am saying is exactly what you are saying, with the exception that certain 'unneeded' material be left alone. This material is previous information that was posted to determine its relevancy to the article. I suggest it be left there so no one else in the future asks the same question, i.e. you determine that the fact that Pelicans share similarities with the V-22 Osprey is irrelevant to the Pelican article in the talk page, then I would say leave that discussion there so another user does not ask that same question later. If you leave it there, then perhaps that user will see it before editing, thus preventing the whole thing from repeating itself. Saves the admins some time, as well as other users.

Hey
Subtank, I was just looking back on the Drone page, I'm gonna add a link or something for my little research study for the colour/possible rank variation soon when its complete. Anyway, I guess maybe I was having a bad day, but I didn't realise how pissy I was about it:

"Subtank I know you have a high rep, and that's been gained by doing a lot of good things, but "the reasoning that it's not actually a "real" rank because it's in firefight" is completely absurd. You are inducing your own pic 'n' mix, personal canon and pulling it over the rest of the community. Despite whatever good you've done, I'm not going to respond lightly to this, because to me that's crossing the line..." And so on...

Anyway, I'd like to apologise. I'm sorry. I was a bit overzealous and I can't shoot you down for having an opinion and just editing with the facts you had. You're doing a great job as an admin of the Halo wikia, keep going. Merry Christmas and peace out. - TheLostJedi  19:22, 25 December 2009 (GMT)
 * I understand your confusion over this matter, but I'm only relaying the information I have at my disposal. I would never introduce new rules or conclusions without a discussion. Anyway, it has been established that certain aspects of multiplayer are considered non-canon as stated previously by a Bungie Employee back during the release of Halo 2. I can't recall when it was mentioned or where I could find it (Bungie.net doesn't archive its past news).

Homecoming
Its kinda obvious that Ralph is ether not a spartan or his tag is not 303 because its not possible. Also the rule for cannon stuff here is we only add stuff if it doesnt contradict previous established cannon. And having a spartan with a tag higher than 150 contradicts previous cannon. --Philyboy2010 19:42, February 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * That is partly true... however, the canon of the number of active SPARTAN-IIs established by FoR has been contradicted countless times by newer media (Halo Wars, Halo Legends). So, as of now, it is best to just ignore the established canon until Frank O'Connor provides an explanation why so.- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 19:46, February 7, 2010 (UTC)

still having a done of spartans dieing is one thing but totally changing there tag is something we just cant tolerate

Just wanted to be clear
I'm being totally frank here, not trying to start anything, but you left a warning for making multiple edits in an article on my talkpage, and I just wanted to know which page you were talking about. I've been doing kind of a lot of editing lately. Thanks, Captain J 02:55, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Some clarification?
Hey there Subtank, I just noticed that you blocked the user Lordaki for 2 years for being 12 years old, citing wikia's terms of use as a reason for this. You also stated that he would be able to return when he was 14, as per terms of use. However, don't the terms of use state that one must be 13 years old to edit wiki, not 14? As quoted, "intended solely for users who are thirteen (13) years of age or older" and "warrant that you are 13 or older". Unless I am missing something here, the block should be shortened to one year upon the user turning 13. If I am missing something, could you please clarify?

Editing Summaries
Why did you remove that trivia from the Recon armor page? I'm not saying I necessarily agree with it, but I'd like to know why, since you don't provide edit summaries. They all say m, whatever that means. It looks like you just remove content because you don't like it.

Also, that VGH guy above doesn't know how to close his spans, so I added some  tags to close them off so the rest of your page wasn't rendered with his signature font or his colors. It does that in IE 8, so I can only assume other browsers rendered this page like that as well. <span style="background-color:#787878; color:white; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px"> ΘяɪɸɴF22  style="background-color:#787878; color:firebrick; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  Me<span style="background-color:#787878; color:firebrick; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px">  Talk    Contributions  style="background-color:#787878; color:gold; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  CAG 17:39, March 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Refer to H:NOT. If the user thinks such should be mentioned, post it up in the talk page.
 * Regarding VGH: Not sure what you meant as it looked fine to me. Must be an IE8 bug/error. Get Firefox or Chrome. ;) - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 18:07, March 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I know the policy on speculation and such. I didn't necessarily agree with the trivia fact either. But I asked this question to find out why you don't give edit summaries as often. It is in the guidelines, so I was just wondering. In my opinion, when stuff like that happens where you delete content without a summary, it sometimes looks like you're just doing what you want to it. Please take no accusation charges from this. I'm just stating what I think here. Example: when you deleted the list of changes between Halo: CE and Halo 2...as I recall, I was one of two people to post on the talk page concerning its deletion. Yet it was deleted anyway. I do not know if there is some policy where if no one fights for an article's existence for x amount of days then it is deleted, but it looked like you just wanted it gone and just assumed everyone else felt that way.


 * Regarding the rendering errors: I'm guessing IE 8 doesn't use hte latest version of HTML, so Firefox or Chrome will automatically end tags and the right places, but IE 8 is more literal (hey, it's Microsoft), so it needed the closing span tags. I suspect I'm not the only one. Just thought I'd fix it. I do have both browsers, but Chrome sometimes can't access Google or Youtube, so I stopped using it. And I don't like the way Firefox looks, and haven't gotten around to customizing it yet. But I suspect I'll change soon.

 * Regarding the "List of Changes...": I was under the assumption that we all agreed on its deletion since all of the information has been covered in their respective articles. As such, I don't see any reason why we need the article to be floating around in Halopedia. It is an administrative convention which goes like "once the main article covers everything from the duplicated article, the duplicated article should be removed from Halopedia". A perfect on-going (?) project that illustrates this is the Action Figure project which aims on merging all action figure articles into one massive article, with the previous removed from Halopedia.
 * Regarding editing summaries; I wasn't aware I left it blank. I apologise. It should have been "Redundant" in the edit summary.

 * I understand the conventions for deleting duplicate articles, but as I said in that talk page and I believe yours as well, not everything in the list of changes article was covered in their respective articles. Specifically, the Pelican. I have not seen any mention of landing gear on its page. I suppose such information could be added tehre, but I also think it would be useful to have the list article left alone, so other users could see a clear and concise list of all the changes, just as merging the action figure articles is aimed at giving the users a clear and concise list of all the figures out there.

 * Because it isn't worth mentioning and would be redundant. HCE's Pelican wasn't designed with a landing gear and was only modelled to fly around. H2's Pelican, which uses the same model although graphically updated, confirms that the Pelican does has a landing gear and the same goes with the variant used in H3.
 * The idea of a "List of Changes" article is simply nonsense and redundant; changes made in games are expected as innovations are better and sells well than imitations whereas "Action Figure" article being merged into one article is more of imitations rather than innovations which also sells well due to the differing design and quality. As I said before, it is far more concise and clear if such changes is listed in their respective article. - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 23:04, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Brute Jump Pack Rank Pages
For some reason this requested splitting of the Brute Jump Pack page has been bugging me! I suppose all of the other Brute ranks have separate pages: Standard Minor, Stnd Major, Stnd Ultra and Captain Minor, Cptn Major, Cptn Ultra. Therefore i think the Jump Pack ranks should have too. This would require new images to be made (a decent transparent background image of the red and gold jump packers) but pretty much the same content. I could do it all myself but i don't knew whether you have any formatting/universal layout rules that have to apply, or whether you find this splitting necessary.

 * The thing is that these so-called ranks we're giving to the Brute Jump Packs are just speculations.

Convert Templates
I heard somewhere that even though this site is worldwide, it is to use convnetional spelling such as 'center' instead of 'centre', and the 'u' found in some words such as 'honor' was to be omitted. If I recall correctly, you were discussing it with another user on a talk page and stated that even though the user was 'right' for adding the British version of the word (I suppose that is the technically correct dictionary here), the American version was to be used. I could be wrong, but I know for sure someone high up here was saying that. Point is the convert template says 'metres', and to me, that makes me want to pronounce it 'mee-trees' instead of 'mee-turs'. I have no idea why, but it's the first thing that pops in my mind. I kept reverting the template to fix that. <span style="background-color:#787878; color:white; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px"> ΘяɪɸɴF22  style="background-color:#787878; color:firebrick; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  Me<span style="background-color:#787878; color:firebrick; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px">  Talk    Contributions  style="background-color:#787878; color:gold; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  CAG 00:18, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Noting Policy
On this page, Plasma Physics and I have just wrapped up a discussion about whether the Ross-Ziegler Blip is really a canon contradiction or whether it is actually consistent with how the Halo Array works. The latter has been proven, but Plasma Physics feels the inconsistency should be left noted on the page because that's policy and that the Blip a mistake is the first assumption. I disagree, since it's been known since Halo 1 that the Array works by destroying bio-mass, thus it is not a mistake but he suggested I ask you. Read the talk page, then tell me, what do you say?Tuckerscreator 04:37, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

 * Hehee. Rabbids are better than everything, even ninjas! :P
 * As for the inconsistency, Plasmic Physics is correct; inconsistencies should be codified. It should even be added into the List of Inconsistencies in Halo article.
 * As for the "harmonic resonance frequency", I believe the best example of how such technobabble actually works is in this movie. I could be wrong... :P - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 11:43, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

How can Rabbids be better than Pirates? Well, granted some of the Rabbids ARE Pirates, but...

Yes, but I think he misunderstood how the Array works. The Array works by destroying bio-mass, as demonstrated by both Cortana’s quote about “starving the Flood” as well as common sense about bio-mass being left around with Flood being a bad idea. But Plasma Physics doesn’t seem to care about this, even when I countered all his arguments and he agreed as such, only to forget about it later. THAT’S the main thing I’m trying to point out, that it shouldn’t be listed because it’s not an inconsistency. I agree with policy, it’s just that here it doesn’t apply.Tuckerscreator 05:15, April 27, 2010 (UTC)

Oh noes, The Core! Don’t even remind me! Oh wait, there was also THIS!

And this.


 * Rabbids are no pirates. They are manipulator of the mind!
 * Anyway, you should've included Halo Legends' Origins scene into your argument as the scene shows that even the Flood gets eliminated by the Halo Array. I don't know what the discussion is heading towards as I am now confused to whether the inconsistency should be mentioned or it should be removed... so, I'll leave you two to decide.

Rabbids have minds? That's news to me.

Legends I'm unsure about. See, if the Array could be built to destroy the Flood, then comes the question of why the Forerunners just couldn't build the Array to destroy only the Flood, judging by how the Indexing process is described by the Librarian. Anyway, Cortana says herself that the rings are meant to STARVE the Flood, and games take higher precedence over the films. But I'll discuss it with Plasma Physics, just trying to clear up an issue here, thanks Subtank.

Oh, and to quote from Roger Ebert:

"Here it is at last, the first 150-minute trailer. Armageddon is cut together like its own highlights. No matter what they're charging to get in, it's worth more to get out."

- Roger Ebert

And my personal favorite:

"Disaster movies always have little vignettes of everyday life. The dumbest in Armageddon involves two Japanese tourists in a New York taxi. After meteors turn an entire street into a flaming wasteland, the woman complains, "I want to go shopping!" I hope in Japan that line is redubbed as "Nothing can save us but Gamera!""

 * Based on this discussion, I would assume the Halo Array is unable to target smaller biomass such as the Flood Infection forms. With nothing to survive as they all have been eradicated by the Halo Array, the Flood Infection Forms are indeed starved to death (one notable example being the old Infection Forms that infected Jenkins but unable to take full control over him as stated in Halo: The Flood).- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 12:27, April 28, 2010 (UTC)

I've read that discussion before, but thanks for pointing it out to me again, I'l show it to Plasma Physics.

Hey there, Subtank. Sorry to bother you again but I’m at a dead point in debating once again. Plasma Physics and I have been continuing our debate on this page and it’s not going well. I do feel that I pulled up sufficient evidence to point the conclusion in favor, including quotes from the characters, other debates on this wiki(such as the one you showed me, thank you very much), and basic understanding of how the Flood works, but Plasma seems to have entrenched himself in the infamous position of “if it doesn’t say it right in our face, then it’s not true” which theoretically could win ANY debate on this wiki without any evidence(and almost did recently on Thel' Vadam's page, as you know) if there weren’t regard for “suspension of disbelief” and “reasonable assumption.” We’ve both gotten tired, as it seems to be working in a back-and-forth loop of forgetting everything that was previously said and having to point it out over and over again, but I need a Arbiter(whups, no pun intended!), which naturally should be an admin such as yourself, to spell the final consensus on this, as it looks that, without Plasma’s consent in some form, the “Blip” page itself could get caught in a future edit war of “is it or is it not a mistake?” Tuckerscreator 03:29, May 4, 2010 (UTC)

A "Battlenet" is simply a communication system between ships in a fleet (like the Fleet of Particular Justice's) or troops in a unit (like the UNSC's TEAMCOM).

Then when I tried to edit it as an IP user, it simply told me that the “rich-text editor” is off or something.

The M6G debate
I'm getting tired of your disregard for other opinions. In the M6G page, you keep putting up unofficial info. Then when I remove it, you put it back up saying that the M6G not having variants is unofficial info. You need to get your rules straight. Bungie confirms it as an "M6G Personal Defense Weapon System", nothing more. They did not name the sub-variant seen in Halo: Reach. It is not our deciding to name this variant, especially if we name it based on what is seen on the sides of the gun. If we are to name a weapon, we must name it according to what Bungie states it to be. Just as you said Bungie canon trumps Halopedia canon, you must follow that. The M6G variants are not Bungie canon.--FluffyEmoPenguin 17:09, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * The printed texts support the fact that they are variants. That's sufficient evidence to support my claim that they are indeed variants. What might counter this? Bungie's statement that they made a mistake or Bungie fixed the so-called typos either by announcing through BWU or all other forms of announcement media. As such, this is treated as Bungie canon (the fact that the bitmap was produced by Bungie made it so). The same applies to the MA37 merge argument (which has been closed).
 * You argued that they are indeed errors made by Bungie and that they are evident by the past games produced/developed by them. However, the one that don't make sense is why such minuscule error manage to be carried over throughout the entire titles. Let's focus on Halo 3's M6G. If they were indeed typos, why didn't Bungie removed them during the development phase from the Beta? Why didn't Bungie replaced the typos with a new bitmap using the title updates? Bungie could've easily done so, but they didn't. This imply that they were intentional and that Bungie intended them to be different models, or at the very least variants. If you wish to counter this with H2's Rocket Launcher case, that will fail easily as Bungie seemingly admitted publicly that they made an error in labelling the rocket launcher through the HCE and H2 manual booklets. However, it should be noted that this is the only case where Bungie admits they made an error. Other than that, they seem intent on having those weapons to be labelled as so, incorrectly in the eyes of the public.- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 22:42, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what's going through your mind when you think that "Model 6B" refers to a sub-variant of the M6G. There is no doubt that it refers to a variant of the M6. There are many reasons as to why these bitmaps would be incorrectly labelled, as well as continously mislabelled. There could have been a name change after the bitmap was created, or the design team might not have been very close to the canon directors. Who knows for sure? The point is that the labelling "Model 6B" refers to the M6B. Since Bungie has stated it is an M6G, the labelling is therefore considered a mistake. It does not need a direct statement from Bungie like "We mislabelled this weapon as such and such..." because the fact that Bungie named it in a weekly update, on the Ordnance page, on carnage reports, and even Halo Waypoint, proves that it was a misprint. To make such a bold assumption as to name these weapons' sub-variants requires much more information than a stamping on a bitmap. Another thing, your ideas are inconsistent. The M6C in Halo 2 says "Model 6C" on the side. Does that mean that it is an M6C-C? The ODST M6C/SOCOM says "Model 6C" on the side. Does that mean that it is an M6C/SOCOM-C? The only way for your theory to fit is if the weapons said "Model C" or "Model B", which they don't. -- Fluffy Emo Penguin  03:53, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Since I believe it is necessary, I will explain my base beliefs in full on this issue. The M6G in Halo 3 is the "true" M6G. The original, not a sub-variant. The M6G in Halo: Reach is a sub-variant of the M6G. Although, this sub-variant is not called the M6G Model 6B. It has no known name as of now.-- Fluffy Emo Penguin 04:08, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Odd that some of my sentences did not appear as it did in the edit form. Anyway, the M6G in Halo 3 Beta had the same issue as we're having right now; it had a Model6 C imprinted on it but was designated as M6G by Bungie. This was ignored by the previous community as a simple mistake. However, the same problem arise in Halo: Reach's Beta. So, what does this imply? Bungie, a professional game developer, could make such a minuscule mistake in a bitmap and ignored fixing it... twice for over 3 years of development? A simply oversight and they didn't bother fixing it? I think not. It is strongly suggested that it is intentionally. Why such odd designation, you ask? Well, it's the future and designation system changes, who knows. Bungie created the universe and revamped the entire known political, social, military, etc system. 500 years into the future and changes to the system are bound to happen. - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 14:04, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Regarding H2's M6C; as absurd and ridiculous as it sounds, that might be true. However, we don't know other possible sub-variants of the M6C, so that could be ignored. The fact of the matter is that we have two M6Gs of two different imprints of two different games of two different timeline. It could be entirely possible that the M6G in Reach is indeed a B variant but was upgraded to C variant by the events of Halo 3. that would be the most logical sense in terms of timeline-wise.
 * Again, if this is fixed in the released game, I would love to redact all known information on the sub-variants and apologise. But as of now, it's legit info. It would be a waste of time arguing over a spilled milk and it wouldn't be productive to the wiki regardless of where this discussion is heading..- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 14:04, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * "Bungie, a professional game developer, could make such a minuscule mistake in a bitmap and ignored fixing it... twice for over 3 years of development?" Exactly. It is such a miniscule mistake that they repeated it. Miniscule mistakes are the ones that are repeated most often. You're throwing logic out the window. The absolute most logical assumption is that it was a misprint. Even if it is 500 years in the future, designation systems may have been changed, but clustered, inefficient designations like "Model 6G Model 6B" would never exist purposefully. No company in their right mind would do that, regardless of era. Think clearly for a second: if Bungie were to make available such important information like the full name of a weapon (including sub-variant), would they include it on the tiny bitmap stamping that hardly anyone notices, or would they state themselves? I understand your motives to differentiate between these two weapons canonically, but it cannot be done as of now. There is not enough information. Even if it were 50/50 in regards to probability of being a misprint or a true designation, niether can be proven yet. We cannot say they are the "Model 6G Model 6B" and "Model 6G Model 6C", nor can we say it is a misprint. Therefore, in the style of Halopedia, we should not post either information.-- Fluffy Emo Penguin  00:46, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: I herd you liek mudkips
You herd rite. I duz liek mudkipz, and I duz haz some proposals. I am very short on time right now (my free time doesn't start until next week!), so to see the proposals for yourself, here are some links with relevant information. I understand General5 7 may have already filled you in, but if not, or if you want more information, here it is.


 * Smoke's Talk Page
 * My Talk Page
 * General5 7's Draft

Basically, I want to revive the usergroups because I feel that if, used correctly, they could be a huge help to Halopedia. To quote myself, "Halopedia has A LOT of articles to maintain. It may look shiny and perfect on the outside, but it's rotten to the core with bad articles." If something could possibly be arranged, I'd be more than happy to co-lead the Covenant of Halopedia, the Standards Council of Halopedia, and the Gamers of Halopedia, the latter of whom is severely underrated. The gaming articles (eg. maps, gametypes, etc.) are absolutely terrible, and as an avid Halo gamer myself, I'm very interested in fixing them. My interest in the Covenant of Halopedia stems back from last year, when I was intensely involved, as does my interest in the Standards Council, which I am also eager to have revived, for obvious reasons.

If the usergroups could make a comeback, I am very sure that with the involvement of a few dedicated leaders to motivate members, and General5 7's proposed requirements to join, and with a little organization, the usergroups could help Halopedia in such a huge way that every single one of those "rotten articles" become cleansed and unspoiled.

Email problem

I verified my preferences settings, and they all allow for emails to be sent to my email (which is correct), and I am still following pages, and I even looked at one of the pages I follow to see if, for some odd reason, no one made changes to all of the 300+ pages I follow.

Reach weapon and vehicle categorization
Subtank, I really don't know why i'm having to tell you this...but there's no reason whatsoever to differentiate the lists for the Human and Covenant weaponry and vehicles on the Halo: Reach page. Like i've stated many times before, there is already a pseudo-categorization with the "M"-designation and "UNSC"-prefix for the Humans, and the "Type-xx" for the Covenant Empire. As agreed upon a year or so ago, we categorize with with alphabet on the Reach appearance list rather than by faction.

I understand that you want to make it a bit more easier for the newer users to understand, however, it's not that hard to click on a particular weapon and learn about it's proper nomenclature within the Covenant so we make more knowledgeable community members. Remember that were an encyclopedia (not the lame print version from 343i or Halo Waypoint) and while we should redirect pages to common fan terms (i.e. DMR, Plasma Repeater, etc.), it should always be maintained that we're a strictly canon-following website over any other fashion that may exist.

Thank you, and have a good day.

Rawr,


 * I would agree.. but based from feedbacks for improvement I gathered from other Halo community (i.e. B.net forums), they became confused with our categorisation system, and some misinterpreted the content. I know it is not hard to simply click the link, but we have to take into account the one common human nature that exist in all of us; laziness. By simply dividing them into two simple categories (UNSC and Covenant), readers will be able to learn to differentiate between a UNSC article and a Covenant article. From there on, they will be able to learn how UNSC and Covenant weapons are designated. It is, afterall, two little categories. It has been applied throughout all Game articles, so why is Halo: Reach an exclusive article of not following the established layout? As an encyclopaedia, it is also our job to keep it simple and understandable to readers; not to confuse them with complex designations. If we were to keep the designations and avoid using common titles in articles, then we should also try to categorise them properly.
 * I am, and has always been, in the position of maintaining the designation system. I have never take the approach of replacing the designation with its common name (i.e. replacing MA5C ICWS to Assault Rifle). How you came across that idea of me taking such approach is beyond me? "And I thought you knew me, after all the years we've been working together"... - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 00:58, August 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would like to point out that while many would not memorise the full technical names, they do recognise the model number. If I was looking through the Halo 3 weapons list and saw "MA5C", I would instantly identify it as an Assault Rifle. The same can go for pistols. They seem easy enough to remember - these guys are just too lazy to work it out.-- Forerunner 01:27, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Appearances template
Hi, Subtank. I have a few questions/suggestions regarding the Appearances template.

Is there any way we could implement a system with the Appearances template similar to the Era template? For example, instead of having to type, etc., could we make it so we just have to type  ?

And also, would it make it easier if the " ==List of Appearances== " header could be included in the Appearances template?

Regarding the Prophet of Regret as a Flood form
Subtank, I noticed that you reverted my edit to the Prophet of Regret article which stated that he wasn't really killed by the Master Chief. However, after he was assimilated by the Flood, Regret still retained his persona. If he was killed before the Flood could assimilate him, no trace of his mind's personality would remain. This leads me to believe that since Regret still retained his personality after his Flood assimilation, he couldn't have been killed prior to that. I don't see any other explanation. But you reverted my edit. So, I was wondering if you had any different explanation(s). Thoughts?


 * You should be aware that the Flood has the capabilities to access the host's memories, even the dead. The Flood uses the host's memories to overcome any potential problem in their way and will utilise the memories to gain access to places that they aren't able to without a host.
 * In the Gravemind level cutscene, we can see that the Gravemind reanimated the dead prophet to manipulate the captured John-117 and Thel 'Vadam to complete a task he could never do; to prevent the firing of the Halo Array. John-117 already knew the purpose of the Array, but not Thel. In order to motivate Thel to go against the Covenant and prevent the firing of the Array, Gravemind reanimated Regret to show the errors of the religion (something Thel have grown accustomed to), knowing that the Monitor would not be able to relay the purpose of the Array in a way Thel would be able to understand. The Gravemind is indeed a mastermind; he brought back Regret so that the reanimated Prophet would argue with the Penitent Tangent. This argument will show the flaw of the Great Journey and also shed some light as to what the Halos really do. Because of this flaw, Thel will soon question the purpose of the Great Journey, doubting it and cause an uprising against the Prophets.
 * So, in short, Regret is already dead. Gravemind accessed Regret's memories to show the errors of the Covenant to motivate Thel to prevent the firing of the Halos. If Gravemind haven't done so, Thel would still activate the Array and rebel against the Prophet. - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 22:51, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Halo Legends; The Duel; Roh vs Roe
I am to understand the subtitles call him "Roe", but the credits most definitively state the spelling is "Roh". I would assume the credit spelling takes precedence over the subtitles as the subtitles had other mistakes in them (such as when Roh said "Fal", the subtitles said "Thel"). Assuming this line of logic is correct, the page currently entitled Roe needs to be renamed as Roh and edited as such. Am I correct in my assumption? Thanks in advance for your clarification.

Good Day, Subtank. Just wanted to tell that the notice at the top of article pages saying "Be weary of spoliers" seems to be misspelled. The actual word should be "wary", otherwise it sounds like it's telling people to be tired, rather than to be cautious! So if possible, please change it if it is indeed misspelled. Thank You.

Bullfrog
The Bullfrogs are ODSTs. During Exodus, someone on your COM channel says "a group of ODST specialists are working a plan," and then you go and link up with them and they say they're the Bullfrogs. Even by looking at them, one can see that they're obviously ODST.Mdbleach 21:05, September 14, 2010 (UTC)Mdbleach


 * It should be noted that Specialist is the only Army rank in the Bullfrog, whereas others are common in all branches of the Defense Force. As such, this heavily supports the notion that the squad is in fact an Army unit and not ODSTs. Also, please note that the ODST armour is not made exclusively for the ODSTs. Such example can be seen in the Patrol marketing video for Halo: Reach.- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 21:10, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Image naming
If I may make a few suggestions from experience administrating another wiki.

It may be advantageous to have some way to account for multiple images of the same object from the same source. Something like:

File:"Title of media" - "simple description" - "index".filetype

If might also be helpful to make a list of acceptable "Title of media" values. For example, there might be some confusion whether the "Title of media" should be the game ("Halo3") or a specific level/cinematic ("Halo3Cortana" or "Cortana" or whatever). If it's by level/cinematic, something will have to be done for titles that occur in multiple games. - Meco (talk, contribs) 21:46, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Links on the main page
Hi there, the links on the main page are nearly unreadable, need a hand fixing them ? I can also help you make the sidebar widgets more uniform, style-wise — Game widow 17:56, September 15, 2010 (UTC)

Raid/Battle of New Alexandria
To continue the New Alexandria discussion thing, I really don't see how it constitutes a raid, since it wasn't a small scale operation by any means (three Covenant ships plus a crapload of ground forces on both sides), wasn't swift (was a drawn-out five day fight), and ended with the destruction of an entire city. A raid would be something like a small group of Covenant special forces guys rush in covertly, do as much damage as they can, and then withdraw. Calling it a battle would be much more fitting.CaptJim 02:16, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Stupid Questions...
Hey Subtank, I was just wondering if you could help me with just a couple trivial things... First, I was wondering how do I put myself in user categories? I'm female and would like to be in the female users' list... And secondly, I've read the help page on setting up my "userboxes" but am still having difficulties, do you have any advice? I'd like to show off my "Monument" LOL... I'm a bit of a wiki noob, but I am trying to learn... Thanks for any help you can give a fellow Spartanette!! KRZYBCH 16:18, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Ship Classes/Ship Classifications
Since Category:Ship Classifications seems to be the highest intended category for all things related to ship classes, and we have individual categories for UNSC, Covenant and Forerunner ship classes, then what is the purpose of Category:Ship Classes? To me, it seems like a duplicate category of "Ship Classifications" since the ships of individual factions can be listed in their own categories. I could be wrong though, just pointing that out in case it wasn't intended to be like that. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 10:56, 24 November 2010 (EST)
 * Glad you asked. :)
 * "Ship Classification", according to the US Naval Designation and subsequently adopted by Wikipedia (though Wikipedia refers it as Ship Types), is a term that only applies to the types of ships (i.e. Destroyer, Frigate) whereas "Ship Classes" refers to a specific class of ship classification (i.e. Gorgon-class, Halcyon-class). Because the Halo Universe is ever expanding, consider this category map as a safety measure if we ever get more information on ships. :) - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 11:01, 24 November 2010 (EST)
 * Thought it might be something like that, just making sure. In that case though, wouldn't it be more fitting if UNSC Ship Classes and Covenant Ship Classes were placed under Ship Classes instead of Ship Classifications? Right now, the Ship Classes category seems to contain a few assorted classes from both factions which seems kind of redundant, considering we have own categories for faction-specific classes.


 * On a side note, the plural form of "aircraft" is also |"aircraft". --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 11:13, 24 November 2010 (EST)


 * I guess it is better to eliminate UNSC/Covenant Ship Classes.. as for aircrafts, I blame previous users... >.< - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 11:19, 24 November 2010 (EST)


 * I'd rather keep the UNSC and Covenant ship class categories. Faction-specific categories tend to keep things more organized, especially when there's a fairly large number of ship classes on both sides. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 11:40, 24 November 2010 (EST)

Annoying User

Mind checking something for me?
Hey.

I recently needed to preform a major edit for the assassination page, so I used a draft under my user page for the edit, as I have never made such a large one.

Mind checking it out for any mistakes I may have made before I update the main one?

Should I go ahead and update the main assassination page? http://img810.imageshack.us/img810/9315/signxb.jpg 16:59, 12 January 2011 (EST)


 * I would suggest loading the image into Halopedia and make it into a link to your userpage. Simply having an image as a signature could be against the Signature Policy. As for the article, ask one of the administrators first before you do so.- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 18:41, 12 January 2011 (EST)

I checked on the sig policy, it says as long as the username is clearly visble on the image, it's okay.

I tried sending admins messages and leaving a message on their talk page, but none of them have answered back. Have any ideas? Jabberwockxeno 09:32, 22 January 2011 (EST)


 * Yes, but you need to make sure that it's link-able (i.e. contains a link to your userpage or talk page), which is basically the purpose of a signature. - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 10:54, 22 January 2011 (EST)

Image categories
Just to inform you, I've started rearranging some of the image categories into a more coherent and specific system, largely based on that of the Star Wars wiki. Undoubtedly, this will take time and work, but I felt that our old system was cumbersome and obsolete. For example, the new standard is in line with our current capitalization policy and using the term "images" makes more sense than "screenshots" in the context of the ever-expanding Halo media. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 06:08, 3 February 2011 (EST)

Thanks!
Wanted to thank you for creating that handy template for the Firefight sub-types. Realized yesterday that only Rocketfight and Sniperfight had their own pages, so I set them up for the rest. That box will make navigating between them much easier than the sub-category page I threw together. Captain J 18:27, 1 April 2011 (EDT)

MA37 talk page
I don't know if it's just my luck or something, but that Archive button only worked until after you resurrected it. God damn I hate MediaWiki...haha.


 * Halopedian is glitching for me all of a sudden. First, it took an incredible amount of time to load up when i first opened it, then it gave me some kind of error message and a partial page. I tried again and it let me in, but it cut the whole top third of the screen off, preventing me from seeing the top banner and accessing the edit button. The only reason I'm able to edit now is because I've had to work around it by manually typing in the "edit" url. I have no idea why this is suddenly happening, as it's nothing like I've ever seen before, and this is a new computer, but it's doing that. On any other wiki I visit, however, it's normal, so I expect its a specific glitch. I don't know if anyone else has this, as obviously they can't edit unless they know to type in the URL. Is this a glitch on the wiki, or is there something on my computer I need checked? Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 15:08, 30 April 2011 (EDT)

Mgalekgolo
Can you add those theories back? Or at least the one comparing them to Praetorians?--<span style="-moz-border-radius-topleft:15px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:15px; border:4px ridge blue; background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(blue), to(black)); ;background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(left, blue, black); -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; background-color:black"> Shade  19:03, 25 May 2011 (EDT)


 * No. The first one regarding the spikes is incorrect; whoever added that in got fooled by the angle of the picture. The second and third trivia have been mentioned in the article. Fourth is irrelevant as it is just gameplay design. The one about Praetorians is irrelevant speculation. The last one about using human title is simply Halo 2 not able to use the updated terminologies established in Ghost of Onyx; the novel was released after the game.— subtank  19:07, 25 May 2011 (EDT)

It's not irrelevant speculation. It was comparing how they are similar and how Hunters might have been based off them. I was playing some AvP games and I got the idea.--<span style="-moz-border-radius-topleft:15px; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:15px; border:4px ridge blue; background-image:-webkit-gradient(linear, left top, right top, from(blue), to(black)); ;background-image:-moz-linear-gradient(left, blue, black); -moz-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; -webkit-box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; box-shadow: 0 0 0.6em black; background-color:black"> Shade  19:08, 25 May 2011 (EDT)

MO
Considering your work with stands, I felt that you would be best at this (Ok, 343, but I haven't seen him lately). To what extend should we count something as appearing if it is only mentioned in random combat dialogue. Does Yayap appear in the Halo 3 storyline? Do Sam and Jogn appear in Hali Wars? Further, does supplementary material count as an appearance - the HW timeline and HR journal?--  Fore  run  ner '' 20:20, 29 May 2011 (EDT)


 * Hali Wars? Never heard of it. Joke aside, if the subject is of some importance and relevance to the product, then list it. Here, everything in the Halo Universe can be of great importance to some extent, i.e. John. But to satisfy the relevancy, I guess it would not meet the mark. It is as simple as that.
 * This is basically a repeat but necessary as clarification. The ones regarding Halo 3 and Halo Wars are quite of some importance, but it is not as relevant as to the whole product; the mentioning of Yayap, Sam and John aren't that relevant to Halo 3 and Halo Wars, respectively, as whole, but they do hold some importance to an extent. As such, they should be excluded for failing to meet the relevance mark. It is, however, different when placing a product as an appearance for a subject, i.e. placing Halo Wars as an appearance in John's article; a simple mention is sufficient. The main reason for these distinct applications is simple; when readers read an article about a product, i.e. HW timeline or Halo Wars, they expect to just see those that is relevant to the game; listing those mentioned once or twice would be redundant. This is different when reading an article about a subject, i.e. characters or weapons.
 * Supplementary material, being supplementary to a product, should not be listed as an appearance; instead, they should be listed under the "See also" section. — subtank  07:49, 30 May 2011 (EDT)

Deletions
These four articles absolutely should exist. Why wait for further details to create the articles? It's better to funnel in editors onto something that has already been created. LobStoR (talk) 20:54, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
 * Hang 'Em High (Anniversary remake)
 * Timberland (Anniversary remake)
 * Damnation (Anniversary remake)
 * Beaver Creek (Anniversary remake)


 * Little is known about them. Additionally, users will simply add their own conjectures and other trivial information, like they did in the past. Such activity would later promote speculations as facts. As such, it's best to keep the information in their current form, that is as trivia in the original multiplayer map articles, until more information is released.— subtank  21:01, 7 June 2011 (EDT)


 * I agree, these articles would just be short mentioning that would be constantly targeted by speculation. It is better to create a page for something after there is sufficient information. -- DKong Talk Cont 21:05, 7 June 2011 (EDT)
 * OK, well then I guess I'll go start adding confirmed screenshots and information about these maps into the trivia sections of their predecessors, since these maps don't (currently) warrant having their own article. LobStoR (talk) 21:08, 7 June 2011 (EDT)

This is stupid, they need their own pages, just make the pages, put the info we know and screen shots and then lock the pages.

Sorry to tell you this but only admins can lock pages;) "A Penny saved is a Penny earned" 00:20, 11 June 2011 (EDT)

Problems with Convert template
A user recently messaged me about a problem with Template:Convert and I was wondering if you knew something about it. I'm not sure if it's specific to certain users, but the whole template seems more or less messed up in infoboxes. For a particularly noticeable example, see Jun-A266. I'm not sure how it could cause this, but could it be linked to the fact I recently categorized some of the sub-templates of the Convert template? Would it be better to remove the categories? --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 03:40, 9 June 2011 (EDT)
 * If any of your s are placed on a different line to the template's ending, or if you merged some lines, you could brake the coding - it's ' 'extremely complex and one error can take out the whole thing.--  Fore  run  ner  06:17, 9 June 2011 (EDT)
 * I didn't merge any of the lines, just put in the categories in noinclude tags. Reverting them seems to have fixed the problem though - I knew these things were fragile, but I had no idea something like this would be enough to break them. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 08:13, 9 June 2011 (EDT)

Gif
Hey Subs. Could you shrink down this .gif I made for the Energy Shield page please?

Oh, and fancy reading a review? Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 17:01, 3 September 2011 (EDT)


 * Done and a good read. Needs more pictures though. :P — subtank  00:21, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

Hm, more pictures. I'll have to see which paragraphs deserve them then. Otherwise, glad you liked it and thanks for resizing the image.

One thing, though: I notice the animation runs much smoother now. How did you do that? I tried making the .gif directly from the Bungie video, but my computer wouldn't recognize the flv. file and I ended up simply taking pictures of the paused screen. How did you make the smooth one? Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 00:40, 6 September 2011 (EDT)


 * Oh, the file you provided was unusable... so I rerecorded the ViDoc and recreated the GIF myself using third party freeware. :P — subtank  01:29, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

Can you tell me what software you used? Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 02:13, 6 September 2011 (EDT)


 * CamStudio and MovieToAGif.— subtank  09:29, 6 September 2011 (EDT)

DPL issue
Hey Subtank, wondering if there was anything you could do for the  <DPL>  bits that feature one's created articles, and similar content. Or rather, is the current software were using hindering its abilities. Thanks and have a good one Kai!

Cheers!
 * I talked to Steve about this a while ago, and he told me he removed the DPL extension because it was causing problems.--ハローファン (H1234-NET) 23:15, 9 September 2011 (EDT)

The Walrus of Approval

Dear, Subtank


I spent all afternoon working out the meaning of those last three files. Sincerily, Forerunner.--  Fore  run  ner '' 11:12, 8 October 2011 (EDT)

Terminal template
There seems to be a problem with Template:Terminal. I'm not sure if it appeared after you updated it a few days ago, but I recently noticed that any long enough text put into the template tends to continue over the gray area's edge and occasionally disappear a couple of lines after that. This should be evident in most of the transcript sections on the Terminal/Halo 3 page. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 12:24, 20 November 2011 (EST)

Question
Could you please look at www.helljumper.com. Seems as though they are making a video series based on Dirt from Halo: Evolutions. My question to you is is this notable enough for an article here? I thought I'd ask you because it seems like your the expert on notability. Thanks.-- Commander  光环的家伙1234   Talk  ( Contribs ) ( Edits ) 23:50, 26 November 2011 (EST)
 * I don't see why not. There have been multiple press sites that interviewed and documented the film's development. :) — subtank  06:44, 27 November 2011 (EST)

Challange References
I noticed that the trivia section on the Challenges article is just a list of references. Since it's just references, could I move them to a subpage or some sort of "List of Halo: Reach challenge references"?-- Commander   Spartacus  ( Tenth Roman   Battalion ) 21:23, 22 December 2011 (EST)


 * Why not leave them as they are? They don't really clutter the page and nicely formatted.— subtank  10:23, 23 December 2011 (EST)

Javascript
Well, I am Sorunome, admin of Seerowpedia and I have a (quite) advanced question on how wikia works and I gor redirected to you, so here's my question: I have on that wiki some javascript for hiding infoboxes aswell in Common,js and in Wikia.js, but somehow it doesn't seem to work. I think that it just doesn't load to any pages. Could you please help me? Sorunome 06:09, 28 December 2011 (EST)

Data Drop/Transmissions
Hello there,

Nicmavr suggested that I message you after speaking to him over the IRC about the Data Drop work that you did. Which I have to say is pretty cool, innovative stuff. :)

Basically, what I'm trying to do is immitate your [template?] in a similarly styled set of articles on the HaloFanon wikia. I'm having just a tiny little bit of difficulty getting it working though. And would greatly appreciate your assistance! :D

This is the main article: http://halofanon.wikia.com/wiki/Transmissions

I guess whatever I'm doing, I must be doing it wrong because the tabs aren't working. Also, I can't seem to make the font become black, which makes reading the transmission a tad difficult. :\

If you could take a look at it for me, that would be really sweet! Thank you, and have a Happy New Year! - TheLostJedi  10:48, 2 January 2012 (EST)


 * That's because Tabbox extension is not available on Wikia. :P
 * You would need to use the Tabber extension instead. Feel free to inspect my userpage on Dead Space wiki as an example. :) — subtank  06:45, 3 January 2012 (EST)

Redirect reversal
Hi, I am wondering if it is possible for you to reverse a redirect?
 * Release currently redirects to Release (level), though it should be the other way around since there is nothing that shares the name "Release", therefore rendering the (level) unneeded. Thanks.--
 * Done.— subtank  11:32, 24 January 2012 (EST)

RE: Userpage
Why thank you. :)--

Hmm
O hai Subtank! Could you please protect this page from editing for a while? If you look at the history, you'll see what the problem is. Thanks.--

Derping Around in Weapon Infobox
Hey Subtank, did I change the title in the Weapon Infobox page correctly? Vegerot wanted to change the title from "Manufacturer" to "Known manufacturers"... Or are we not suppose to do this? — S331 (COM • Mission Log • Profile) 09:17, 21 February 2012 (EST)
 * Correctly, yes. Whether you should, I don't think so. The reason being that the template was for general use and not specific; in other words, most weapon articles are of one manufacturer and not multiple. The infobox thus has to cater for the majority and offer an alternative for the minority. If a user feels the need that the title of a field be changed, all they have to do is add a new field with  after the field name (i.e. manufacturer-title= Known manufacturers).—  subtank  12:27, 21 February 2012 (EST)
 * Alright, I just wanted to help Vegerot. Thanks for explaining. — S331 Bubbleshieldhud.svg(COM • Mission Log • Profile) 19:09, 21 February 2012 (EST)

Misuse of the "Indirect mention" tag
There's been some misuse of the Indirect mention template, and Jugus, the others, and I agree that it needs to be changed to make its appropriate use more clear. Read this, this, and this for the context and explanation. Anyway, you're in charge of the Appearances template, so decide what should be altered to prevent mishaps like these again. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 14:04, 2 April 2012 (EDT)


 * Actually, I was never in charge of the new Appearances templates. I was in charge of the old one (there was only one) but the consensus on that one was not to use it. Forerunner, I believe, is the one who spearheaded the new Appearances template. But we're getting off topic. However, on a related note, someone really needs to update the layout guide... it's outdated by two years! :O
 * I would adopt what Jugus has said in this talkpage. A permanent solution to this is to create a guide on using the wiki (something that is on my To-Do list, right after creating a FAQ in Halopedia using Dead Space Wiki as a primary reference since it has worked quite well there), of which would include what the wiki means by "indirect mention".— subtank  14:31, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

Ah, well Template:Appearances had said to refer to you for questions, so I assumed that meant you were in charge of it. But it's true, the layout guide does need a bunch of new information to be added, such as infobox images being portraits rather than full body images, images of specific ships having backgrounds while ship classes have transparent ones, and and being like a document by ONI and using the images most recent in the timeline. I'll speak to the admins on this then, see if we can add these updates. Tuckerscreator (<font color="#008000">stalk ) 15:15, 2 April 2012 (EDT)
 * Don't trust the main page (you can trust the "Main Page", just not the main page of a page). :P — subtank  15:27, 2 April 2012 (EDT)

Reflist
If I read the template page and remembered clearly, the Reflist is with columns. But apparently this isn't the case. Or am I just delirious and the whole " with columns" is just an illusion? Help? — S331 (COM • Mission Log • Profile) 07:31, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
 * It is... isn't it? — subtank  13:47, 14 April 2012 (EDT)
 * I don't think so...


 * Maybe we are all delirious! :D . Seriously though, I can haz troubleshoot plz? — S331 Bubbleshieldhud.svg(COM • Mission Log • Profile) 06:44, 15 April 2012 (EDT)
 * Fixed. Apparently, webkit users was not able to see it in columns because it was not specified as such in the template.— subtank  08:03, 15 April 2012 (EDT)
 * Oh Sub so reliable. :D — S331 Bubbleshieldhud.svg(COM • Mission Log • Profile) 08:37, 15 April 2012 (EDT)
