It seems the Jake Courage page has a lot of explaining to do. So lets go back in time to try and explain this so we can discuss what we even do with this as its rather odd.

  • On the 4 October 2007 this page was created by a random person.
  • 4 days later on the 8 October 2007 another user confirmed (look in "Canon??") it was linked on Xbox.com via jackcourage.htm.

This whole scenario does add a lot of questions on how we should deal with this whole scenario. Seeing as we have zero proof that the article was official or not.

I'm currently running through The Wayback Machine to see if I can find the original content page for the link that's listed as the source, but it's running up with "You need to install flash player" screenshots each time. From what I'm able to see, we know he exists, and according to this which is the source on the Shooting a Hero page, at least some of what the wiki page itself says is accurate. It's still a big grey area though. I'll keep looking.

Yea we can confirm a lot. But most of the page is in that grey area of never actually being confirmed as official.

Edit: However it is very much too much of a coincidence to ignore that 4 days later it was linked on Xbox.com

This is the Wayback link to one of the oldest instances of the page, and the only time I managed to get it to load it gave me the current site "Page not found." Had to install Macromedia Shockwave to get it to load, and run it in IE. I don't suppose there's anyone we can ask about it? It's pretty old now, so I have no idea who that would be.

Yea we cant get earlier than the 11th October. And we know it existed prior to then and had a link to Halopedia on the 8th October.
