Did i get Banned Again
yeah what the headline said FistofthEmperor 02:40, 9 March 2008 (UTC)

Bad Poll
THis has nothing to do with the Haqlo Universe, so I thought i'd bring it to your attention to delete, since I cant put the delete template on it. Poll: What is your input on all the non Halo stuff( ex Chuck Norris ). And what's your opinion on my RfA? I'm not asking you to support me, just inquiring as to your opinion.

UoH Bravo Company
You must be surprised that I came on now. i've not been coming on to Halopedia due to busier workload and different leisure activities. So, um, since I only come on, briefly, once every two weeks, can you take over me as UoH Bravo Company's Operational Officer? Thanks.--Sp art an- 781  CommCSV 03:32, 11 March 2008 (UTC)

Spelling
I'm using spellcheck.py with my bot, why? Bllasae 16:47, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
 * Well, most of the time I'm checking for broken links, and changing spelling on articles instead of randomly checking random articles makes more sense to me.Bllasae 16:47, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

Bot
Yeah, I didn't need you to "spell it out" for me, as I've already asked for permission on the bot page you sent me to, like 2 days ago. Maybe you should check that instead of yelling at me, especially since I haven't even run the bot since you sent me the message that I needed permission.


 * Well I wouldn't know that, would I? You're running the bot under your primary account, and from what you said on IRC, you don't feel this has to change. -- Manticore   (talk)  02:38, 16 March 2008 (UTC)

IRC Request-Bllasae
Hey Manticore. About my IRC Op request:How about this? You give me op rights for a temporary "trial" run, and if you don't like how I am as an operator on the Halopedia IRC, then you can remove them?


 * I've given my opinion here. -- Manticore   (talk)  11:03, 18 March 2008 (UTC)


 * There's no change....Also, why don't you give real reasons why I shouldn't be an IRC op.Bllasae

Volunteer
Hi, I'd just like to volunteer for any community work, or anything else I can do to improve Halopedia, is there anything I can do? Thanks. Darth tom iChat What I've done 20:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC) 14:20, 4 April 2008 (UTC)


 * There's plenty of things to do. Check out Category:Marked Articles for a start. -- Manticore   (talk)  16:52, 4 April 2008 (UTC)

Brute article
Manticore, I think that what you did to the point system was great; now people will edit more, instead of just sitting there clicking the quiz button for hours! Anyway, I'm just saying that maybe you could slightly change the amount of points for articles? Because I made a massive edit to the Brute article, but only got the standard fifty points, even though it was massive. Maybe you coulod change this slightly? Thanks.

 * The way we do it now is the only way we can possibly have the system. It's too resource intensive otherwise. And WTF is that in your signature? -- Manticore   (talk)  14:24, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

It's the words Darth tom. Is there anything wrong with it? My page iChat What I've done 20:05, 25 March 2008 (UTC) 15:25, 7 April 2008 (UTC)

Bots?
How do you creat bots? odst 04:21, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Like Mantibot.odst 14:47, 12 April 2008 (UTC)


 * I didn't create it, I downloaded an existing bot framework to run. There's more information on User:MantiBot. Please stop putting a space before your comments, it messes with wiki page formatting. -- Manticore   (talk)  14:51, 12 April 2008 (UTC)

Fuel Rod Gun
The Fuel Rod Gun is an infantry weapon used throughout the Halo series. This has been confirmed by gameplay prompts, official material, and even by the Marine quotes describing the supposed Halo 3 "Fuel Rod Cannon".

The Fuel Rod Cannon is an entirely different weapon, described only in the books. The only times this weapon has been mentioned is in Halo:the Flood where a Banshee used it as a heavy weapon to destroy a trailer of ammunition and in First Strike where a pair of Hunters used them. This indicates that the Halo2-3 era version of the Hunter's weapon and the Fuel Rod Cannon seen throughout the series are the only weapons that can be called "Fuel Rod Cannons" if Halopedia is to retain its claim of following canon. Bungie made a mistake? Fuel Rod Gun is a misnomer? Sure. The thing is, this wiki follows what canon is, not what it should be. Canon > realism. --TerminalFailure 17:52, 14 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Would it be possible to remove the FRC from the usable weapons template? It has never been a usable weapon, as the only FRCs that wasn't part of a vehicle were used by a Hunter pair in First Strike... --TerminalFailure 12:26, 15 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Propose it on the talk page. It's what they're there for. -- Manticore   (talk)  15:10, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

User page
how do you get your userpage like that? all i see in the code is the 3 categories. Reply here! – ThatWikiGuy (talk) 20:43, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
 * No, I mean on my wikia. How can I set it up like that on my wikia? Reply here! – ThatWikiGuy (talk) 16:58, 22 April 2008 (UTC)

Database Error
I get the following error when I try to edit most pages, look and my awards/gifts and even just looking at certain pages:

Database error

A database query syntax error has occurred. This may indicate a bug in the software. The last attempted database query was:

(SQL query hidden)

from within function "". MySQL returned error "1064: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'Putumee'' at line 1 (10.8.2.9)".

Do you know anything about it, and can you help me with it?

Thanks --User:Noga 'Putumee 20:43, 25 April 2008 (UTC)


 * Thanks, this has been passed along to the techs. -- Manticore   (talk)  02:21, 26 April 2008 (UTC)

Warnings
Why did you not warn me that my page was to be deleted. I know it is fanon. But i used halopedia as a draft fro my fanon, and my friends to see my work. I was going to transfer it to Fanon. But my hours of work is destroyed, by you, with no warning! EliteGirl


 * I'm able to transfer the page there for you, but leaving me hysterical messages like "I can get CommanderTony to ban you" isn't helping your case. -- Manticore   (talk)  09:12, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

You know, your abusive attitude towards regular Halopedians and disrespect for the wishes of your fellow admins is going to get you in trouble. If you had any sense, you'd apologize and do it instead of insulting her and calling her "hysterical".

Your page.
Is it ok if I copy how you did your page?odst fan

WTF!?
Man, my page says I have 50 edits exactly, so why did my vote get deleted. Demon Razgriz 14:36, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * my page says I have 50 edits on the dot. NOW PUT MY VOTE BACK!


 * My profile page says I have 50 edits exactly. NOW PUT MY VOTE BACK!


 * Your profile page is wrong, duh. Editcount doesn't lie. Now were there any more demands, or was that it? -- Manticore   (talk)  14:44, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

sorry, I didn't know. Noone tells me these things.

This time I checked my EDITCOUNT and it said I have at least 50 page edits.Demon Razgriz 15:32, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Yes, but you didn't when you voted, now did you? You had 43, when I checked. -- Manticore   (talk)  15:35, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

Why was my social profile deleted? Sitheris 16:17, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Well, if I was you, I'd start off by checking the reason; "No RfU." -- Manticore   (talk)  16:30, 9 May 2008 (UTC)

An Explination Please
Excuse me sir, but it appears that my wikiuser page is gone, and I am no longer able to edit it for some reason. I do not understand, I just was in the process of removing the fannon from my page and transfering it somewhere else when this occured. I would appreciate it if you would allow me to edit my own page, and if there is any thing about it that does not follow the rules of this site please tell me and I will remove it. Thankyou, Zarra &#39;Yairum 21:05, 9 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Your userpage was deleted, and you recreated it. We have a fanon sister-site, and I'm tired of you people coming and whining when I delete your fanon and you state shit like "but I was about to move it to Halo Fanon!" If you knew about HF, it should have been there from the very start. -- Manticore   (talk)  08:06, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I brought my page back because I thought I had accidently deleted it myself. I had just deleted a large portion of the page and I was not aware that anyone else had been editing my page at that time. I was unable to access the edit history for some reason. I apologize if you mistook it as defiance, I can understand how you easily see it as such. I also apologize for not taking a closer look at the rules before (a huge mistake on my part), I had thought that the fannon rules did not apply to personal pages, and I was sorely mistaken. Coincidentally I was correcting my mistake the very moment my page was deleted- attributing to my confusion. I hope you will accept my apology. I see that had I acted too hastily, and I will not make the same mistakes again. --Zarra &#39;Yairum 21:33, 11 May 2008 (UTC)

 * I imagine I deleted all of your pages merely because they were such a pain in the ass to clean-up. -- Manticore   (talk)  08:44, 10 May 2008 (UTC)


 * Ah, I see you removed this little chestnut. Luckily that makes my job easier, as I now care more about what's happening on Big Brother than helping you with your problem. -- Manticore   (talk)  08:47, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure I understand.
This may be general ignorance on my behalf, but what do you mean by "Close the font tag in your signature"? Admiral T. Hood 11.02, 10 May 2008 (UTC)

Permission
I notice that you have deleted my userpage because of being fanon. I accept this and it will be soon completely on HaloFanon as I am currently fixing it up there. However, not all my page was Fanon. I had a section that had a list of my blogs and also I had a list of videos. Some of these can be regarded as Fanon, whilst most take on a Satirical view of Halo, which amused some visitors to my page. I ask permission to put back these as I still have the codes and writing stored somewhere. If you would like I won't include the videos that could be seen as Fanon and I certainly won't include my fanon.

Seeing that you insist me to make an account, I did it. Please clarify this with the other Administrator as I don't want to be blocked again over a ridiculous reason such as Sockpuppeting.-Ascension- 15:16, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

My Page
You had no reason to delete the entire page. A simple deletion of the offending portions, along with a polite explainatiom on my talk page would have sufficed. Of course, considering you failed to cite a rule when you deleted it, I'm probably going to be disappointed. Would it be too much to ask for you to act calmly, citing the rules and not going over the top?

Still Contributing
