Ranks

Hey ed do you think all the ranks are right ?And if you do can you put a stop to the deletion crap and stuff?--Ryanngreenday 21:29, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

The problem is, we have no difinitive rank scheme. The ranks that have been mentioned so far are all american ranks, but we don't know for sure if they are the only ranks. We've never seen a specific, citeable chart depicting all the ranks. For all we know, there could be a "third lieutenant" or a "technical sergeant" in the Marine ranks. We just don't know for sure. That's why the ranks will probably have controversy attatched to them until Bungie comes out and says for sure that the rank system is the same as today's american system. -ED 23:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Whats Frankie's email? I must email him!--JohnSpartan117 23:38, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

I'm pretty sure all letters for stuff like this goes to the Bungie.net webmaster(webmaster@bungie.com) but there's no gurentee he will answer it. Thay usually just post emails in the weekly update to make fun of people and dodge questions. -ED 23:53, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Can we make a project page to make a letter?--JohnSpartan117 01:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Go ahead. How about Halopedia: Letter to Bungie -ED 01:17, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Ill start it now.--JohnSpartan117 05:19, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

OK, Thanks. -ED 01:44, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

always glad to help.--JohnSpartan117 03:53, 27 October 2006 (UTC)

Nice Layout!

Hey man, nice Layout, can you help me get something like this?--JohnSpartan117 06:34, 29 October 2006 (UTC)

Sure. You can see the code for my pages by clicking "edit" or "view source" and copy it to your page, then just change the text. It's really pretty easy. -ED 01:25, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Thanks. One last thing, what happened to the "Halo Mapping Project".--JohnSpartan117 02:45, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

I don't know. I had nothing to do with that project, so I don't really know anything about it. -ED 03:02, 30 October 2006 (UTC)

Do you know anyone who might know?--JohnSpartan117 02:11, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Nope. -ED 19:52, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Perhaps Esemono, who linked to it. --Dragonclaws 20:51, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

Vulgar Language

Dear sir,

I have found problems with the Fist of Rukt regarding a statement saying that I should "rot in the pits of hell". This can be found at the following link to his talk page.

Relentless Honor for Work on Sangheili Article

Sir, for your exceptional, persistent work on the Elite article, I present to you... Template:Relentless Honor You may place it on your user page.

Respectfully,

RelentlessRecusantFile:Jedi Order.jpg 20:09, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Why thanks. I haven't really done much work on that article lately, though. The Halos is currently my prideful accomplishment. -ED 21:09, 9 December 2006 (UTC)

You gonna add the award to your userpage? =D Cheers, RelentlessRecusantFile:Jedi Order.jpg 02:23, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

{{Triple Kill|his work on The Halos article}}

Gave you another one for your good work on the aforementioned articles. This is for an extremely productive Halopedia user, a sincere materialization of your elevation within my eyes, Ed. Cheers, RelentlessRecusantFile:Jedi Order.jpg 02:24, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

Why not. I appreciate your recognition. -ED 02:29, 12 December 2006 (UTC)

No, thanks. -ED 02:08, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Few Questions.

Are you back from your vacation? Also if you dont even have an Xbox or play Halo....why are you so dedicated to Halopedia?--User:JohnSpartan117 [1] 01:54, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Heh, yeah I'm back, though not in the same 50-edit a day capacity as I was; I think I did a pretty good job at transcribing every detail from the books to the wiki, so I cant really be as active as I was since theres not as much for me to do.

I'd have to say I'm still dedicated to Halopedia just because the story of halo is amazing. I have/play Halo PC and go to plenty of Halo parties, but never got around to getting an Xbox. I'm really thinking of getting a 360 when Halo 3 and/or Halo wars come out though, and I'll probably get Halo 2 Vista (I borrowed my friend's xbox and beat Halo 2). So, I still play the games a lot, and I like the storyline. -ED 19:52, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Makes sense. Would you like to play Warcraft with me?--User:JohnSpartan117 [2] 05:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC)

Sure. Do you have a battle.net account? -ED 00:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, its JohnSpartan-117--User:JohnSpartan117 [3] 02:29, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

I think I found you. Your in clan "Rude"? Ill add you to my friends list and message you if I ever see you online, but I'll admit, I mostly play Ladder games, and I've never played DotA. -ED 19:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

• I think you got the wrong guy, Im not in a clan. Damn, you dont play Dota....well what can you play? Cause DOTa is my main game.--User:JohnSpartan117 [4] 12:33, 25 December 2006 (UTC)

Email

Ed can you turn on your email please! -- Esemono 15:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Done. -ED 22:49, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Also

Your tabs at the top of your page seem to be out of wack. I tried to find what it was and it appears that its RR {{Triple Kill}} template as when I removed it everything went back to normal. However the weird thing is it only appears to effect your page. Anyway maybe its just on Firefox my browser. -- Esemono 15:29, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah I noticed that too. I guess the best thing to do is just no nowiki it. Its on my userpage anyway. -ED 22:49, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Didn't Esemono fix that?! Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 03:14, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

He found the way to fix it, but for some reason, my page was still acting up with it there, so I just nowikied it. -ED 19:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Legendary

Wikias are horrid places. There are always vandals, power-abusive admins (on other sites, not this), idiots who think that know everything and make amends to articles w/o actually considering references, so on and so forth. I have found no such characteristics in you, Ed. Every Halo: Ghosts of Onyx article has already been conceived by you. Hell, most articles of this Wikia are your children, offspring so numerous that they seed the stars.

You are the one I hold in highest esteem. None sing praises of you, and I feel that your desolation can not end, as I continue to uncover your unceasing work.

Therefore, I proclaim you Legendary: higher than all users. As the chronometer looms closer, drawn to the New Year, I believe it is time to herald the greatest Halopedian that has ever stood: a brazen, fearless one who has labored for so long in such darkness, never faltering, never heralding your work.

I am honored to give you the following accolade: Template:Legendary

With utmost sincerity and respect,

49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 18:44, 22 December 2006 (UTC)
p.s. - happy holidays!!
p.s.s. - you may add this to your userpage

I appreciate that very much. Thank you, and happy holidays, RR. -ED 19:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Darned Vandal

I was wondering...I still have no idea who is an admin here and who isn't, but you seem to be one, so I figured I'd point it out to you. User:71.199.231.6 has blanked RR's user page twice today, as well as his talk page once. Figured you'd like to know.--Rot 00:58, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Esemono warned him. I he does anything else, He'll get blocked. -ED 03:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

your userpage

" think our community is perfect as it is right now. We have a hundred or so active users, most of whom visit Halopedia from time to time, and so we do not suffer the problems of larger wikis, such as Memory-Alpha and Wikipedia. There are few edit wars, vandalism is relatively rare, and Halopedia, I think, embodies what the wiki is supposed to be: constructive, interesting, and enjoyable."

— ED

I think the contrary.

Anyways, happy holidays!

Cheers,

49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 21:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Yes, how quickly times change. Oh well. Happy Holidays, everyone! -ED 01:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Happy New Year!

I know that one such as I can give very little, but I have a small present: Template:Admin.

See what happens when you place it on your userpage.

Cheers,

49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 03:23, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

You happy? Sorry for nothing more substantial...=S...=D Happy New Year! Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 03:36, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

I like it. subtle and to the point. -ED 04:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Good to hear, man! Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 21:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Halo: The Bane

Could you email me a copy at "alpha-217@verizon.net"?

I'd be interested in it.

Cheers,

49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 03:36, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Sorry to say, I havent got that much of it typed yet, only about the first chapter, and that's only a second draft. I can send you the second chapter if you'd like to see it. -ED 04:59, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

yeah, that's be fantastico. Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 21:18, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

You have been selected by the Halopedia community to judge which fanart images will be allowed to be used on this site. Please cast your vote for the disputed images shown on the Halopedia:FanArt Rulings page. -- Esemono 15:57, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Anti-Matter Bomb?

Hey, ED, I see you've worked on the aforementioned article. Do you have a source for the name? Thanks!

Cheers,

49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 17:26, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

I believe the original article was taken from the Halo Library site, and the source would have to be Halo 2, level Cairo Station. -ED 21:00, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

HIGHCOM & C.M.A.

Beautiful work. Absolutely wonderful! Damn!

Cheers,

49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 23:06, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

Thanks again for your recognition! -ED 23:46, 1 January 2007 (UTC)

No problem-o. Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 00:47, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Halo Fanstuff

I have proposed a wiki called the Halo Fanstuff. Now if they accept it, I propose that we work together. You guys would be the Knowledge base of the Halo Wiki and we would be the Fanstuff.--H*bad 17:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

I already submitted a proposal to Wikia administration approximately a week ago. They should get back within a week of today, Tuesday. Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 18:41, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Well I created a scratchpad of it. Halo fanstuff. Hey maybe you and I could work together and put together the wiki.--H*bad 18:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

What would be the subject matter of the wiki? -ED 19:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

It is people making Fanstuff/Fanon about the Halo Universe. Located here.--H*bad 05:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

S.O.S.!

You'll be pleased<cough cough>to know that someone is teading upon your intellectual genius! That's not everyone besides R-R! <hehe...gulps>

I've repurposed your uber-sick user page coding onto my user page <looks the other way and hides>, but at the end, after my tag saying that stuff's wrong...the box doesn't ented to the far side of the page.

Can you see what's wrong please?

Thanks.

Cheers,

49 Proximal Secant^[oracle]File:H3 Monitor.PNG 02:31, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

Heh heh, yeah my page is cool like that. Well your userpage looks fine on my browser, the boxes line up and all do the same thing. I don't see what you mean... -ED 19:58, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

File:Glassing reach 2.JPG

Do you approve

The image to the right has been requested for use on the Covenant CCS-class Battlecruiser page. Please make a ruling so that users can know whether it can be added to the page or not. -- Esemono 23:58, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

Spec Ops Commander?

Ed, to tell you the truth, I was kind of skeptical that SOC was an Elite rank, but from experience from Wookieepedia, until two things, ranks or ships, have been explicitly confirmed to be equal, i.e. SOC and Ultra in our case, two seperate pages are constructed.

Thanks.

Cheers,

RelentlessRecusant 17:02, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

It has never been implied in any way that they are different. The only "difference" that was given between them was that Half-Jaw's armor looked "a little lighter". That could be just as easily explained by the ambient lighting of the images, or just because we don't have any actualy game screenshots of a regular Ultra to compare to, so the writer compared Half-Jaw to the images on the Ultra page. It could also be that, since they designed the Half-Jaw model from the ground up, they made a mistake, or that is just how the game renders the model. There are a million reasons why the armor "looking" lighter could have been unintentional/made-up, and only one far fetched reason why it could. Making two seperate articles for this nonsense is reading way to far between the lines and making things up. Ultras are seen everywhere, commanding all kinds of forces, including the SpecOps. -ED 23:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)
