Halopedia talk:Covenant of Halopedia/Archive 1

Last Councilor?
I'm going to leave it the High Council who should become the last Councilor. RR or Ares.117? Council, post your vote.

Nevermind. I've changed it to FIVE Councilors. That way there can't be a tie. They're both councilors!

For Against Comments
 * As much as I want the position RR is more exprienced, knows more about the site and has been here longer - Ares.117

Ranks
I was thinking of putting users into lances(squads), then have an officer lead each lance. The lances would then work on specific parts of the improvement pages. Based on the work the lance does, they would then be promoted. The ranks being as follows:

Upper Lower
 * Imperial Admiral
 * Supreme Commander
 * Zealot
 * Honor Guard
 * Ultra
 * Special Operations Elite
 * Major
 * Minor
 * Ultra Grunt
 * Special Operations Grunt
 * Gunner Grunt
 * Major Grunt
 * Minor Grunt


 * --Councilor 'Nodotee [[Image:Donut 7.JPG|35px]] [ BattleNet ] - [ Covenant of Halopedia ] 17:28, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

I am in agreement, as Councilor 'Nodotee is the ruling authority amoung us-- Black Mercy 01:24, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Idea
We could use forruner simbles, and put them next to a users name, and a section that explains which rank the simble is.Sozai

That's a possibility.
 * --Councilor 'Nodotee [[Image:Donut 7.JPG|35px]] [ BattleNet ] - [ Covenant of Halopedia ] 20:40, 24 February 2007 (UTC)


 * Or instead of using the symbols for ranks, they could be awards or represent what lancre they're in (assuming you make lancres, of course)--Anaba &#39;Eesoree 02:32, 25 February 2007 (UTC)

Scarab gun article needs our attention
It simply needs our attention very badly, it is covenant related, at least I think it is. More reasoning will be on its discussion page-- Black Mercy 23:13, 26 February 2007 (UTC)

Nevermind, it was repaired. -- Black Mercy 04:02, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Requisition of the promotion to the rank of Major Domo in the Covenant of Halopedia
I, Minor Elite Black Mercy of the Covenant of Halopedia, am requesting a promotion to the rank of Major Elite within the Covenant of Halopedia, as per my services to the organization, and my dedication to the improvement of it's articles. I am making this request to the High Council for consideration, thank you.

Signed,

Black Mercy 04:07, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Accept - I'm in favor of this request. I've seen the work he's done, he's been quite helpful. I say we should promote him. What say you RR?
 * --Councilor 'Nodotee [[Image:Donut 7.JPG|35px]] [ BattleNet ] - [ Covenant of Halopedia ] 04:12, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

The regular user ranks should have some power within the page, counciler's sign if you agree with this.-- Admiral Sozai Nexes   FLEETCOMM  12:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

Truth and Reconcilation
This article has not recieved very much attention. I am very displeased with the result of five days of having it the focal point of the Covenant of Halopedia's attention. Nothing has changed, one picture was added and it caused a massive gap. I moved the pics around with no success, then I got rid of the new pic. and the article still does not look good. Please, someone with alot of formatting skill go down there and help me out, cause I am stumped. -- Black Mercy 00:51, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I am now dedicating all of my ability into improving Truth and Reconciliation, *whips out a collection of sources and begins writing* I am calling all true brothers of the Covenant to attack like the Unggoy and swarm upon this article until we can confidently say it is the best covenant ship article out there. -- Black Mercy 01:12, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

All Possible Apologies
Hello. My name is Major Domo Mouse among men, aka Mouse. I hereby give formal apologies for the act of making a userbox for each rank. I had done so with the intention of giving a way for users to show their rank on their userpage with pride. I understand this was a unwanted idea and accept punishment. If you want me to be a Minor Domo, fine. Do what you wish, High Council.

Humble Apologies,

--Mouse among men 04:00, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

Do not fear, the userboxes have been cleaned up. We will continue to work with them until everything is correct. I will admit i was thinking of creating rank-specific userboxes, however, i was going to wait until everything else was set up first. There will be no punishment for this act, in a way, it was somewhat helpful.
 * --Councilor 'Nodotee [[Image:Donut 7.JPG|35px]] [ BattleNet ] - [ Covenant of Halopedia ] 22:13, 1 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Wha? "Unwanted idea"? "Accept punishment"? DUDE! YOUR USERBOXES ARE AMAZING, DAMMIT! You're high on the list for promotions, Mouse. =D Cheers, Gho st I nsi de the M ach ine <font color="#808080">''(<font color="#808080">Whisper through the Storm ) (<font color="#808080">My Journeys ) (<font color="#808080">Omens ) 23:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

A request
I, Ikinator may be new, but I believe that I done some good in depth pages on my own creations (I have even started creating userboxes after just 1 day!), and will be willing to clean up any pages if it is requested of me.

As usch I would like to request a promotion to a Major Domo Elite of the noble Covenant of Halopedia. I shall apologize in advance if this request is too forthcoming and shall accept the rank that is bestowed upon me.

--Edit: I have recently done some work on Minor Domo Elite

 * A promotion is a bit premature, but you're definately on that way to major. =D Cheers, <font color="#D3D3D3">Gho <font color="#A9A9A9">st I <font color="#808080">nsi <font color="#000000">de the M <font color="#808080">ach <font color="#A9A9A9">ine <font color="#808080">''(<font color="#808080">Whisper through the Storm ) (<font color="#808080">My Journeys ) (<font color="#808080">Omens ) 23:47, 1 March 2007 (UTC)

I'd be more inclined to promote you, if you stop using the CoH Symbol as your sig! (That is one of my pet pevs) That symbol is to be used for the CoH, not for your personal sig. Other then that, you'll be promoted in due time.
 * --Councilor 'Nodotee [[Image:Donut 7.JPG|35px]] [ BattleNet ] - [ Covenant of Halopedia ] 18:38, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Just to clarify
When making "small" changes in detail to the feature article or any covenant article, we do not have to ask permission, right? Or should I voice my ideas here and let others make the changes? Peace. James-001 23:56, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S. Until I hear from someone, I will assume my assumption is correct and go about editing minor tweaks in Truth and Reconciliation.  If this is found to not be correct, I will delete my additions. Peace. James-001 00:01, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Truth and Reconciliation
The editing I am doing is coming largely from Halo: Combat Evolved and am editing parts of the level and more detail, also adding in stuff about the marines. Also, is it just me or did someone just glaze over this when they made it. I know the whole focus of this thing is the Covenant, but there are surprisingly few details on either sides, I will try to do both. Peace. James-001 01:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I am planning to write about a "paragraph" or so of information that relates largely to the game, but the brief description on there already was too "watered down". I'm just letting the Councilors know about this fairly sizable change. Peace. James-001 01:29, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Ship Master
I feel that this page needs our attention. Aside from general background, there is not much else, there is not even some list or any mention of other ship masters and their coresponding ships. Peace. James-001 01:31, 2 March 2007 (UTC)

Truth and Reconciliation-Keyes
Let it be known that I am making a substantial addition to the Keyes section of TaR. I may need help making it all fit together with the existing text. Peace. --James-001 05:00, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Current Article - T&R
I do believe that we're almost finished with T&R. The page is looking much nicer, and it's info has been greatly expanded. We should probably start thinking of working on the next article. Councilors, place your votes below, are we finished with T&R? Agree or Against?


 * 1) Agree - it looks much better, --Councilor 'Nodotee [[Image:Donut 7.JPG|35px]] [ BattleNet ] - [ Covenant of Halopedia ] 14:20, 3 March 2007 (UTC)
 * 2) Agree we have added alot of information and it looks really nice --Ares.117 14:49, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Covenant Ships
Is it just me or is there very little information on many of the ship classifications. Many that I have seen do not even have the names of ships that are that type. I guess it might seem less imposing if we take it one page at a time. Peace. --James-001 21:34, 3 March 2007 (UTC)

Minor Domo Elite
Wow, is it just me or do I talk alot, that or no one else does. Anyways, I went ahead and added some stuff to the Minor Domo Elite. I noticed that a few paragraphs say basicly the same thing. O, I'd also like to thank the Council, mainly Councilor 'Nodotee for my promotion, I will remain humble and not contribute any less, I may in fact do more. I never thought if would mean that much to me to get promoted. Maybe it's because I have not life:P...doubtful. Anyways, thank you again, I remain the council's ever humble servant of truth Major James-001. Peace. --James-001 05:31, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Organisation
You guys have gone all crazy out on organisation (Arbiters, High council, etc. etc.), but do you actually do anything? Maybe you could do a bit of promotion on the Main Page so other users are aware of what it is you do. --  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 08:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)

Finished?
I believe T&R looks great! Nice work guys. I'm going to officially change the Improvement Article to Minor Domo. However, feel free to continue improving T&R. Is this ok with everyone?

I was wondering if wecould have a massive propaganda newsletter that I am a member of and a Counchiler member. It would have a covanent featured qouteand picture.Qual &#39;Fulsamsee 00:30, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Covenant Rank infoboxes
Just to let everyone know, I'm done with putting the infoboxes on EACH covenant subrank rank (Unggoy, Sangheili, Kig-Yar and Jiralhanae are the ones with subranks). I would like people to go and check them to make sure they're correct. Also, if anyone has time, make sure all bulleted information (weapons, vehicles, notable individuals) is placed in alphabetical order and is all correct. I would like those infoboxes to be awesome! Thanks for the help! Now on to another little project... Dude984 05:37, 8 March 2007 (UTC)

Domo Done?
I believe this page looks great! Are we finished? The Council needs to vote.

Thank You
Thank you very much honorable Councilor-Imperator for the promotion to the rank of spec. ops. Also, thank you for the award. I will continue in my efforts to bring in new people and direct them here. "It shall be as you say. My task is holy. My blood pure. I shall not fail." Peace. James-001 19:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)
 * P.S.-What's this thing about something else coming soon. Regardless of what it is, my performance will only increase. Peace. James-001 19:41, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Supreme Commander (#1)
The first of the three Supreme Commanders should be James-001. He has done great deeds for the betterment of the CoH. He's recruited countless new members and still keeps up with the Improvement Articles. I need the High Council to confirm this promotion though, i believe simple majority should do.

 * 1) For --Councilor 'Nodotee [[Image:Donut 7.JPG|35px]] [ BattleNet ] - [ Covenant of Halopedia ] 21:00, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

...no words come to mind...
It would be an honor to receive that rank, but, it is still my honor to serve the will of the covenant. Whatever happens, happens. I am deeply honored that I am being considered for this, honorable Councilor. Peace. James-001 21:04, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Voro 'Mantakree
Even though this is not the feature article yet, I made some structural additions and also added a lot of info about the battles within the Second Fleet of Homogenous Clarity, mostly according to Ghosts of Onyx and added a couple of sources/references. Peace. James-001 00:14, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

Other Ranks
Hey, did you ever think of having some temporary ranks(other than lesser councilors)i.e. Ossoona, Arbiter, Stealth Elites. Just a thought.
 * Also, am I correct in assuming that I am being considered for a lesser councilor? This is even more of an honor than the previous, but equally appreciated. Am I also correct in assuming(really bad habit of mine) that I am not the rank of SpecOps, but now Ranger? This is really too much for me to take in one day. Like I said before, whatever happens, happens; the outcome will not change my unflinching dedication to the Covenant. Peace. James-001 02:15, 14 March 2007 (UTC)
