Maybe get rid of the dropship pages but what I did for the ships is the exact same thing as was done for the [[Covenant cruiser at Longhorn Valley]]. And I had nothing to do with that one. In fact, if I hadn't found that one, I wouldn't have tried.--[[User:WarGrowlmon18|WarGrowlmon18]] ([[User talk:WarGrowlmon18|talk]]) 15:18, 5 November 2017 (EST)

As for notability, aside from Keyes' dropship, the ships I created pages for ''did'' play a big role in the games. One was responsible for the whole fight at [[SWORD Base]] and kind of acted like the final boss of the level. Same for the corvette at New Alexandria. The battlecruiser was notable for its role in the battle at the shipbreaking yards and if you think about it, was at least indirectly responsible for the death of [[SPARTAN-B312]] due to him having to stay behind to shoot it down. And it posed a major threat to the ''Autumn''. Alpha-Nine's Phantom was a major part of two of the ''ODST'' game's levels and played a major role in the team's escape. And had major objectives surrounding it.--[[User:WarGrowlmon18|WarGrowlmon18]] ([[User talk:WarGrowlmon18|talk]]) 15:24, 5 November 2017 (EST)

== Question about making a new article ==
 
Hi there! Since you helped me before i was wondering if you could tell me if i can create an article similar to the campaign levels walkthrough guides, but instead, i want to make it related to the BOBs. This because the current article its just about where they are, and has no specific strategies to kill them.
 
If it can be done i have several videos of all of them (except for 2) to provide sources. Or if it can be done inside the same BOB article would be nice too.
 
Thanks![[User talk:Siul S-249|Siul S-249]] 16:02, 1 November 2011 (EDT)

==Bullet in the barrel of your best guy's gun==
Well then, if Forerunner insists on it, alright, but I say that it's better to keep them. It helps keep an overall standard, and when there's only a single trivia point it causes the section to look like it's solely about that sentence rather than a miscellaneous section. Additionally, a new user might come along and not realize that one has to add a bullet to add a new trivia bit. Sure, it could be fixed ourselves, but it's best to minimize the risk of confusion to begin with. Overall it helps maintain a constant page standard.

== Mona Lisa ==
 
I placed some points on the talk page. I think we've seen the whole "between Halos 1 and 2" concept before... it turns out that it means "Between the end of ''Halo: Combat Evolved'' and the start of part 2 of ''Halo 2''" (Remember that there is a big gap between "Metropolis" and "Delta Halo") Halo: Uprising "bridges the gap", despite the fact that it occurs before the Halo 2 ending. The whole thing is awkward as hell.-- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 15:47, 25 November 2011 (EST)

::We used to send letters (read: emails) to end disputes; perhaps we could do it, again. My guess is that there was some oversight by the authors of The Mona Lisa on the part of the escapades of High Charity's defence fleet. I guess, if either viewpoint can be supported, we could, for the time being, note-out the "Battle of Earth" positioning and instead have something like <nowiki><!--There is some debate between when the story took place, and so it cannot be confirmed whether or not the Battle of Earth had already begun--></nowiki> Usually we just work-around these things. For example, the re-print of Halo: The Flood shows the ''Ascendant Justice'' being at Installation 04 when the ''Pillar of Autumn'' arrived; the original and reprint versions of ''First Strike'' instead say that it was part of a detatchment sent by High Charity to investigate. We concluded that the Covenant had reached Installation 04 some time before the Autumn's arrival and that High Charity had sent a scout group ahead of it while it made its approach. -- '''[[User:Forerunner|<font color="blue">Fore</font>]]''[[User talk:Forerunner|<font color="green">run</font>]]''[[Special:Contributions/Forerunner|<font color="red">ner</font>]]''''' 16:01, 25 November 2011 (EST)
