Hello. I recently reported to 343I Grimbrother One what I thought was an error in the Waypoint's encyclopedia, and he replied with a Halo trivia about Pelicans. But I don't know how I could reference this in-article whithout being erased for possible fake content. Is there any policy about this ?  ΩPer Mare, ΔPer Terras, ΨPer Constellatum 13:38, 21 January 2015 (EST)
