Things to do

 * The Operational History should provide summaries of their work in each campaign, not a detailed report with links to "Main Article" for the actual mission synopsis. As it stands, the Operational History covers 2/3-3/4 of the article when the article should be about the organization.  Heck, even breaking out the Operational History to a separate Article and giving a brief synopsis would be better.  Remember, longer is not, necessarily, better. --forgottenlord 17:03, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Support - I've done a little work on it, and theres no major problems I can see with it. The template could do with a different colour though... sky blue? :( --  Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] TalkundefinedCSV 14:17, 4 July 2007 (UTC)

Disapprove
Alright, if we were to effectively go through the actual Table of Contents of the page, it would be:
 * Introduction
 * Equipment
 * Equipment
 * In Game Halo:CE (including some combat notes)
 * In Game Halo 2 (including some combat notes)
 * In Game Halo Wars
 * List of Equipment
 * In Game Combat
 * Halo:CE
 * Halo 2
 * Halo 3
 * Halo:CE Equipment List
 * (Etc)
 * Halo 2 Equipment List
 * (Etc)
 * Halo 3 Equipment List
 * (Etc)
 * (Other stuff)
 * It's poorly organized and needs considerably more work. No --Forgottenlord 18:00, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * True. What's with the redundant combat sections thought? ^^ Cheers, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg TALK • MESSAGE 11:01, 26 July 2007 (UTC)

The history section is too long and most of it covers actions of only a single unit. For example, most of the Halo 2 history stuff should be put in the 7th ODST Battalion and 405th Marine Infantry Division articles, if kept at all. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 15:01, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Comment: Well, those are the only notable Marine units that we've seen in the Halo universe. =S Cheers, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg TALK • MESSAGE 16:31, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Still, there are hundreds of UNSC marine units fighting on dozens of fronts at any one time. The individual histories of each unit belong on their own pages. The history of the corps overall is all that is relavent for the UNSCMC page. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 18:03, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Well...we hardly know anything about the overall history of the Corps. =S Cheers, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg TALK • MESSAGE 05:18, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Doesn't change whether it belongs there or not --206.75.46.254 19:10, 3 August 2007 (UTC) (Forgottenlord)
 * What we really know overall is that the Corps fought against the Covenant, and takes heavy losses because of glassing and Covenant ground force asymmetrical force strengths and technological superiority. ^^ That's a nice one-liner history. ;-) Cheers, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg TALK • MESSAGE 22:32, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
 * With the amount of BSing you did on the Operational History, I'm sure you can make it a whole one paragraph. :P --Yeah 23:36, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

- The whole section outlining Marine operations seems to be more of an overall Haloverse synopsis and takes up far too much space. Also, past and present tense get mixed up a bit. --<font color="#000000">Dragon<font color="#FF0000">c laws (<font color="#000000">talk ) 07:45, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Things to do

 * Fixing infobox (probably source coding as well to spiff it out)
 * Detailing more of its specific operational history, although I'm not sure it will make it too complex
 * Add sources everywhar
 * Needs to be reorganized. --Forgottenlord 18:02, 23 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I've...
 * Fixed the infobox's source coding
 * Added over 14 kilobytes of data to operational history
 * Added over 40 citations
 * Reorganized the lower sections of the article
 * Added 10(?) or so pictures

 * Operational History too detailed and covers too many things that aren't related to UNSCMC. Working on it
 * Word Choice in Operational History is often at Grade 12-Post-secondary level. Might want to make it consistently a Grade 8 level (level used by most newspapers) --Forgottenlord 18:42, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I know the tenses I completely blew, but word choice I think is OK...=S...Cheers, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg <font color="#A9A9A9">TALK • <font color="A9A9A9">MESSAGE 13:29, 31 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Hack newspapers perhaps LOL. Vocab seems at an OK level for your average HP user. --  Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px]] TalkundefinedCSV 15:06, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Agreed that it is now ok --206.75.46.254 19:11, 3 August 2007 (UTC) (Forgottenlord)
