Honestly, the article is in decent condition. It has a lot of good quotes and pics, but I have a few issues. Most importantly, the article needs some references in some places (particularly in older sections). Secondly, (this is just my opinion) I'm not a fan of having small subsections with only a couple sentences. Obviously, it is unavoidable in some cases, but I find it happens a bit too frequently in this article. Most of it can be resolved by either merging them into a larger subsection (kind of what I did with parts of Fred's article) or in some cases, the subsection can just be expanded upon (such as Sigma Octanus). I was actually working on John's article on the side, though I've been too busy with uni lately to work on it. I can add part of that to this article to help though. --[[User:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">'''NightHammer'''</span>]]''<sup>[[User talk:NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(talk)</span>]]</sup><sup>[[Special:Contributions/NightHammer|<span style="color: #2B1AAA;">(contribs)</span>]]</sup>'' 18:34, 11 April 2016 (EDT)

:Ok, yeah, you're right. But as for me, i don't see any problems with small sections. It's like military service record, where each event, every single operation deserves it's own paragraph, even if it's small one. Maybe one day we'll got the chance to fill in the blanks.

Tick.JPG Done--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 11:34, 29 December 2013 (EST)

UNSC Pillar of Autumn (Approved)

Reason: Well referenced and sourced, plenty of images, and well detailed overall. It is one of the most noteworthy named vessels of the Halcyon-class light cruiser, and the predecessor of the newer Autumn-class heavy cruiser. The Autumn played a pivotal role in the Battle of Installation 04. And also because it should be given another try. --Xamikaze330 [Transmission|Commencing] 18:55, 27 January 2014 (EST)Xamikaze330

Shall we make this a featured article? Is three support votes enough? Does anyone else care to vote? --Xamikaze330 [Transmission|Commencing] 12:07, 3 February 2014 (EST)Xamikaze330
It still has another week open for voting. At this point, I'd say it's probably enough support, but it wouldn't hurt to have more.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 12:17, 3 February 2014 (EST)

Tick.JPG Done--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 11:50, 10 February 2014 (EST)

Halo 2 Collector's Edition (Approved)

Reason: I think the presentation of the article serves the article well, giving it a clean look. Though it lacks transcripts from each video, what the article does best is providing readers the best collection of videos without ever needing to leave the article.

Thomas Lasky (Approved)

Reason: Well sourced, many images, and very comprehensive. Lasky is becoming one of the larger characters in the Halo universe and he is a very notable individual. The article contains all information relevant to Thomas Lasky.

Has it been long enough for a consensus to be made? - NightHammer (talk) 18:43, 15 September 2014 (EDT)

I totally forgot about this nomination (I blame Destiny!), but since there is unanimous approval, I will add it to the list.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 19:25, 16 September 2014 (EDT)

Erde-Tyrene civilization (Approved)

Reason: Very well-written and sourced. There is little to no grammar, pronunciation, or spelling errors. Contains a fitting quote and images in my opinion. The civilization is an interesting part of the Halo lore.

  • Support.svg Support - It's nicely comprehensive for something so obscure. Wish we had more diverse images from official stuff though (e.g. examples of their tech like airships or steamboats). --Jugus (Talk | Contribs) 09:15, 5 October 2014 (EDT)

Comments

Is this ready to be a featured article? - NightHammer (talk) 17:42, 31 October 2014 (EDT)

It's got sufficient support. I'll try to get it featured sometime this weekend if I have the time.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 17:56, 31 October 2014 (EDT)

Ur-Didact (Closed)

Reason: Well-sourced and very comprehensive. The Ur-Didact is now a major character in the Halo franchise and his article is very well-written.

Votes

Comments

Ripa 'Moramee (Closed)

Reason: The article is comprehensive and contains little to no grammar, pronunciation, or spelling errors. It is well-sourced and Ripa is a notable character in the Halo universe.

Date of nomination: 19:38, 20 November 2014 (EDT)

Votes

Comments

Halo: Faith (Approved)

Reason: It comprehensively covers virtually everything we know about this cut-short fan film, from screenplay to casting to budget to music. It's an unusual choice, since it's not an official piece of Halo media, but it's just as detailed as one, and so worth giving attention.

Date of nomination: 03:43, 4 February 2015 (EST)

Votes

Halo: Nightfall (Closed)

Reason: It is a great article and I don't see any grammar mistakes or anything, so I guess it is suitable for FA status.

Date of Nomination: 17:37, 14 March 2015 (Indian Standard Time).

Nominator: Coolbuddy379

Votes

  • Oppose.svg Oppose - A lot of red still exists on the Halo: Nightfall page, and the actual show wasn't the most well received Halo show. SamGall (talk) 15:17, 14 March 2015 (EDT)
  • Oppose.svg Oppose - Same as Sam. Though how the film is received by the community should not factor in judging the article.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 11:20, 23 March 2015 (EDT)
  • Oppose.svg Oppose - The red links alone take away from the article. The article could still use some expansion, especially since the DVD just came out. - NightHammer (talk) 20:21, 23 March 2015 (EDT)

High Charity (Approved)

Reason: Lots of detail, clear and concise about a major subject, up to date, and the shiny pictures don't hurt.

Date of nomination: 00:13, 23 March 2015 (EDT)

Votes

Rampancy (Approved)

Reason: This article comprehensively covers a concept unique to Halo (and Marathon) and is pretty well arranged and improved from the mess it used to be.

Date of nomination: 01:43, 10 April 2015 (EDT)

Votes

M808 Scorpion (Approved)

Reason: This article sums up a lot of detailed content from an abundance of depictions in a succinct and well-organized manner.

Date of nomination: 01:43, 10 April 2015 (EDT)

Votes

Forerunner-Flood war (Approved)

Reason: Chronicles one of the Halo universe's most significant and complicated events very thoroughly and seamlessly integrates more recent Forerunner Saga material with prior sources — and does all this with a relative clarity and conciseness.

Date of nomination: 16:19, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

Votes

Halo Array (Approved)

Reason: A very comprehensive, well-sourced and well-illustrated article about the series' namesake superweapons.

Date of nomination: 16:19, 12 April 2015 (EDT)

Votes

Halo: A Fistful of Arrows (Approved)

Reason: Probably the best Halo fanwork out there. Maybe even the best Halo comic ever written. And its page shows the loads of detail, compelling characters, and amazing artwork that make it that.

Halo: Contact Harvest (Approved)

Reason: I should probably be working on Broken Circle/New Blood/Spartan Strike/Nightfall/Hunters in the Dark, but I noticed that Wikipedia's article on Contact Harvest was better and a featured article there. So, borrowing some of Wikipedia's sources and some of my own, I expanded our own article on Contact Harvest. I believe that the article is well-sourced, has a sufficient plot summary, effectively details the development and reception of the novel, and I added some missing characters to the "Appearances" section. I believe that this article includes all relevant information on the novel.

Votes

SPARTAN-B312 (Approved)

Reason: It's been a while since there's been a featured character page, and this one is well-organized, not messy, about a major character, and filled with all the relevant details about them without being too stretched or crammed. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 03:48, 28 July 2015 (EDT)

Date of nomination: 03:48, 28 July 2015 (EDT)

Votes

Battle of Harvest (Approved)

Reason: Lots of relevant quotes, properly sourced, and properly formatted and well-organized. The information is accurate and detailed, with relevant pictures. The Battle of Harvest is one of the major battles of the Covenant War, and the first major UNSC victory. --NightHammer(talk)(contribs) 18:05, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Date of nomination: 18:05, 21 August 2015 (EDT)

Votes

Battle of Installation 04 (Approved)

Reason: A comprehensive article about one of the most important battles in the Halo canon that integrates tons of info from a multitude of sources.

Date of nomination: 20:28, 30 September 2015 (EDT)

Votes

Samuel-034 (Approved)

Reason: A comprehensive article on the character with lots of sources, images, and quotes.

Date of nomination: 13:21, 10 November 2015 (EDT)

Votes

Olympia Vale (Approved)

Reason: The article is comprehensive with lots of sources (I literally went to Waypoint and searched through every article that mentioned her), and has lots of quotes and images. As a playable character in Halo 5, Vale's article may be viewed more than others on here.

  • Support.svg Support - Sure.--Spartacus Talk • Contribs 11:33, 1 January 2016 (EST)

Fred-104 (Approved)

Reason: Comprehensive with a lot of references, quality images, and quotes. Fred is a relatively important character in the Halo universe and one of the most popular Spartans.

Operation: TALON (Approved)

Reason: Another comprehensive article that details the first mission of the Spartan-IIs with lots of relevant quotes and images. I used basically every source available and took cation so I didn't include any weird additions only seen in adaptations (unless they could realistically fit in with the novel without causing any issues).

Should we replace the image of Sam using an SMG with another image that doesnt play so fast and loose with the canon? - Japeth555

I was thinking about it and if you guys would prefer another infobox image, then I can easily replace it with the image in the gallery of Laden arriving at the asteroid (it was the original infobox pic when I was working on the article, though I felt that a pic of Watts' actual capture would be better). --NightHammer(talk)(contribs) 20:55, 26 March 2016 (EDT)
John aiming at Watts perfectly encapsulates the battle and it's also one of the better looking images that are featured for this article. Helianthus — All right. Shoot!
I also second John aiming at Watts. Tuckerscreator(stalk) 00:23, 27 March 2016 (EDT)
Do you mean Sam aiming at Watts? Or is there another image I'm forgetting about. --NightHammer(talk)(contribs) 11:04, 2 April 2016 (EDT)

John-117 (Closed)

Reason: It is an enormous article describing service record of the main protagonist of the entire Halo series. It is well sourced and quoted, has lots of pictures, and is rather detailed.
