Minor/Minor Domo Elite[edit]

I'm pretty sure Minors and Major Elites were named Minor Domo and Major Domo, respectively, in the Ghosts of Onyx. I'll go through it again to make sure i'm not just making a stupid error.

Sincerely,
File:UNSCoH_Dingo_without_letters.PNG|30 TonyTalk 8/2/2007

Show me an exact page number. Prove it any way you can. I know "Major Domo" was used a few times, but never "Minor Domo." --ED(talk)(gaming) 18:22, 2 August 2007 (UTC)
    • Yeah, I could only find Major Domo, sorry for wasting your time with this ED.

File:UNSCoH_Dingo_without_letters.PNG|30 TonyTalk 8/2/2007

Oh its all good. I try to be real particular about these things. --ED(talk)(gaming) 22:24, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Wow[edit]

I saw all the work you did on the High Guard Councilor, and I'm impressed. I want to be just like you when I grow up!

21:10, 2 August 2007 (UTC)

Heh thanks. I've been around a long time, and I've made a lot of improvements to articles. Good to know they're appreciated. --ED(talk)(gaming) 22:25, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

IRC[edit]

ED if you can kick and ban on the #Halopedia please come know and ban 2 people.--UoH|UNSCoH]] Colonel "Running Riot" Ryan File:Sm Sniper Rifle.gif BAM 05:43, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Next time leave /whois information so we can ban later if needed. -- Manticore File:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20 Talk | CSV 05:26, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Featured Article[edit]

Since regular users can't nominate articles for the FA anymore, can I request that Zealot be nominated? Phil.e. [Talk to me] 19:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, let me see about that. --demonspawnED 02:24, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey[edit]

Now I know I am quite known for attempting to change article names and merging articles about practically the same weapon, but I think this one stands out in that there seems to be no intelligent opposition.

Could you please change the article "M90 Assault Shotgun" to "M90 Shotgun"? I have google searched everywhere and this is the only reputable site to ever call it that, no book, bungie site, manual, or gameplay has ever described it as an "Assault Shotgun" to my knowledge.

No one has replied in the talk page with opposition, though Spartan 781 tried to delete the discussion tag. I just think that it would be very user friendly and give Halopedia a better reputation if articles like this did not have obviously fannon names.

Of course if you know something I dont I am definitely open to it ^_^ --Justin Time 21:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Alrighty. --ED(talk)(gaming) 01:43, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: DFTFT![edit]

Yeah, the page was packed full of it. From Dragonclaws, Caboose, and lots of other users. All cleaned now - trolls thoroughly starved! -- Manticore File:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20 Talk | CSV 05:28, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Of course, all MY fewd was removed weeks ago...RR is powahful! Cooookies! RR is alright right, nevah left! ;-) *RR goes on Power/Rampancy Trip 103 for the morning* Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[halowikia:Halopedia Team TALKMESSAGE 05:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Heh heh yeah, I never put in any of the trolls for just that reason. -demonspawnED 05:34, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Sidebar[edit]

It's already crammed as it is (on 1024x768, the search bar doesn't even show up, IIRC), so I'd rather than we keep it as small and concise as possible. Maybeh I'll work on some JS to fix the humongousness of the sidebar, maybeh wif Splarka's help, if possible. --NOTASTAFF GPT(talk)(eating) 05:42, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Gah, if you wish. I guess we can't make the text any smaller. My screen's on 1680x1050 resolution, so I miss out on these things...gah...--demonspawnED 05:50, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
I'm working with Splarka on it right now. I'd prefer a mouseover drop-down menu for each section in the sidebar, but he thinks click would be better and easier to do, so we'll try it out for a couple days, see what everyone thinks. --NOTASTAFF GPT(talk)(eating) 06:12, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Sir[edit]

Sir I am reporting from my MIA. I have been to PA and am now back. I like the motto its coolio. anyways sir permission to continue leading 2nd platoon? Spartan-010:Stryker My Comm My Battles File:master sergeant.jpg|20 16:15, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

Carry on, Sergeant Major. --demonspawnED 17:31, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

7th ODST Battalion[edit]

Well they are known as Helljumpers, and the unofficial motto of the 105th ODST Division is the "Helljumpers". But that's the only proof I have of them being in the 105th.

Sincerely,
File:UNSCoH_Dingo_without_letters.PNG|30 Halopedia:UNSC of Halopedia/D Company|Captain]] TonyTalk 8/4/2007

105th is the 105th Drop Jet Platoon, not the 105th ODST Division. I had always thought the 105th Drop Jet Platoon was the only ODST group, and that the other 104+ Drop Jet Platoons were not ODSTs but some other kind of Drop... people... maybeh. Meh. --NOTASTAFF GPT(talk)(eating) 20:55, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
You know, I remember reading an article from Brandon Rebuga to Eric Nylund on the issue of the UNSC Army. I think it would be a good time for another question. File:UNSCoH_Dingo_without_letters.PNG|30 Halopedia:UNSC of Halopedia/D Company|Captain]] TonyTalk 8/4/2007
His e-mail is on his website if you want to contacy him. Or its in one of the Halopedia Letters. --demonspawnED 20:59, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
Okay, so the Platoon would be in the Battalion, but they WERE "slaughtered" in 2535... but then there could just be more people that joined up again as Helljumpers, but regardless, in none of the books does it ever say "105th ODST Division." Only "105th Drop Jet Platoon" and "the infamous 105th." We need... SOURCAZ!!! --NOTASTAFF GPT(talk)(eating) 21:05, 4 August 2007 (UTC)
My point is just that the 105th isn't the 105th ODST Division, and the page should be moved to 105th Drop Jet Platoon. --NOTASTAFF GPT(talk)(eating) 21:13, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: Re: Sidebar[edit]

Dear ED,

Sir, with all due respect, all of Wikia is migrating to the new PHPBB3 forums. The old DTL forums are going to be erased soon, I think. We only got the new forums upon my request, sir. I'd like to acclimatize the userbase with the new forums so when Wikia definitively sets down its foot, the Halopedians will be ready.

Thank you, sir. Hope to hear from you soon.

Best Regards,

RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[halowikia:Halopedia Team TALKMESSAGE 03:31, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

Then we'll have to migrate popular threads like the "Imagine" one over to the other forum. As long as the old forum is still being used as much as it is, it won't make a difference what the sidebar links to. --demonspawnED 04:11, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Sir, I think that it will be difficult to migrate, say, "Imagine!", but sir, all of Wikia is migrating, and soon, I believe it will be compulsory and the DTL forums will be deleted. See you soon! ^^ Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[halowikia:Halopedia Team TALKMESSAGE 16:19, 5 August 2007 (UTC)
Sir? =] Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[halowikia:Halopedia Team TALKMESSAGE 18:24, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
OK, I don't understand why this is not clear to you. We can link only to the new forums AFTER the old ones are gone. Until then, we have two forums. --DEMONSPAWNED 18:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Inviting IPs[edit]

If I may make a few minor suggestions, you don't have to follow them, but you can. So, when you invite an IP, can you please put: subst:IP_invite}} and also sign your name? Thanks for listening, H*bad (talk) 04:32, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll add the subst thing to the new page editbar, that works. --DEMONSPAWNED 04:41, 5 August 2007 (UTC)

RE:Letter to Nylund[edit]

Don't worry ED, since I brought it up, I should do it. I'd just need his e-mail address, and thats it. Anyways, thank you for bringing this up.

Sincerely,
File:UNSCoH_Dingo_without_letters.PNG|30 TonyTalk 8/6/2007

    • Okay, thanks ED, I owe you one...maybe two perhaps. :)
    • Sure thing, i'm creating the letter as we speak, and asking a few more questions.

Nylund Update[edit]

Hey ED,

I just sent the letter to Eric Nylund, asking him five questions, all UNSC related, plus one that wont be answered!

"What is John-117's real last name"

Sincerely,
File:UNSCoH_Dingo_without_letters.PNG|30 TonyTalk 8/6/2007

Heh heh ok, we'll see what he has to say tomorrow, probably. Let me know, I'm freakin' out about it. --DEMONSPAWNED 04:21, 6 August 2007 (UTC)
    • You'll be the first one to know. Do you have an MSN Messenger/Windows Live Messenger address so you're TRULY the first one to know?
    • Well there's no address on there, but i'll write to you on here instead.
    • I'm telling you, if he even hints at his last name...i'll crap my pants, I am seriously...
    • Another question I asked "What happened to MajGen Nicolas Strauss". Hopefully he'll answer that one.

B voting[edit]

Sir I came to ask if my new thing should be voted on or just put things on? Thank you sir. Spartan-010:Stryker My Comm My Battles File:master sergeant.jpg|20 00:33, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

See what Blemo has to say about it. --DEMONSPAWNED 02:37, 7 August 2007 (UTC)


okay sir. also I like whats been done to B company page. I have one suggestion. the experiment could we post that as well? Spartan-010:Stryker My Comm My Battles File:master sergeant.jpg|20 11:55, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Go right on ahead. --DEMONSPAWNED 14:00, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

sup eddie[edit]

Blemo tells me youre in charge of sorting the companies and I just want to tell you I really want to be in B Company, so if your cool, please put me in the empty space in 3rd platoon of B company, I have improved the Mongoose article quite a bit and im gettin tired of it, so plz find it in your heart to put me there cuz its better than those lame companies, no offense, but comic relief dont hurt, does it

and off el record y le subject, do you think the gravity hammers possibly the counterpart to the spartan laser, cuz i got reasons why they are, sorta, but yeah PLEASE!!!! B COMPANY FOR LIFE AND THE WIN!!! --«ραcø»º²7| 07:42, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

No. Actually, I said ED was in charge of B Company. Not the entire company thing. --Blemo progress-wheel.gif TALK CONTRIBUTIONS 09:18, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Sorting the Companies[edit]

Now i understand you've sorted the Recruits out into the companies which is my job. Now i understand, upon my last check before going to bed yesterday there was 6 which is unusually high so i admit they had begun to pile up since the last time i sorted the companies which was earlier yesterday morning. Now i thank you for sorting them but it's my job appointed from Ryan and i woulld appreciate it if in the future you would leave it to me to get it done because i did have a count on the numbers for each company but now i gotta recount them. Thanks, --Ajax 013 16:18, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Some of those members have been there for 3 days, they all should have been sorted if you did it yesterday. I put two in A, B, and D companies, since I saw two were put into C company. --DEMONSPAWNED 16:44, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
They have all put their names down since i last put all the people then in recruits into companies and i have been waiting for the recruits to arrive to a nice round number of 8 to put them into their companies however now i have discovered the companies are atchually not all the same numbers so now i will have to sort this out now. --Ajax 013 16:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)
Yes I noticed that too. A disproportionate number of people have been put into C and D companies, I believe. --DEMONSPAWNED 17:02, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey ED![edit]

Long time no see =] What did HaloDude Do!?! 23:04, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah man, hows it going? --DEMONSPAWNED 00:47, 11 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey ED,

Yeah, it's an original page, I made it myself. ;p

And no problem, I was just trying to get the articles out there and onto the site.

And yeah he did, look under my "My Articles" link, and it should be a fairly recent page.

Policy[edit]

I unprotected them per Wikia policy. --NOTASTAFF GPT(talk)(eating) 00:05, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Which one exactly? I was always under the impression that Wikia Protection policy allowed us to protect policies because they aren't part of the wiki. --DEMONSPAWNED 00:12, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
They *are* part of the wiki, 'cause they're... on the wiki.... --NOTASTAFF GPT(talk)(eating) 00:24, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Not necessarily. They are one the Halopedia: namespace, not the main space. Just like how userpages are not supposed to be edited by anyone except their user, policy pages have always been protected because they are not supposed to be edited by anyone except admins and wikistaff; they are the rules of the project, not the project itself. It prevented users with personal vendettas from changing the policies. Of course, that idea has been around since before we moved to wikia, which accounts for the difference in opinion, I guess. --DEMONSPAWNED 00:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Also, check your email. --NOTASTAFF GPT(talk)(eating) 00:26, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

One step ahead of you on that one, man! Check YOUR email! --DEMONSPAWNED 00:33, 12 August 2007 (UTC)
Lol, Relentless kept telling me to, and I didn't, but now I am... does that mean I respect you more than my best friend? =O --NOTASTAFF GPT(talk)(eating) 00:38, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

UoH[edit]

Blemo isn't in charge of your company anymore, i let CommanderTony and RR deside witch one of them gets Your company and D company and they still haven't made up their minds and barely talked about it so who ever becomes your company's leader ask him about it.--UoH|UNSCoH]] Colonel "Running Riot" Ryan File:Sm Sniper Rifle.gif BAM 23:20, 12 August 2007 (UTC)

Why did you revert!?[edit]

On the page where that guy put The forgotten I don't need compaments, from a backstabbing traitor!!! On halofanon, he recreated General Tater, and put fake comments, involving stuff like the evil O'malley sucks and stuff, the talk page history, proves it, but I knew it was fake before I saw it, he has been banned and his article gone. And he even called me friend on my talk page here. I will revert it, and it will not be changed again. The Evil O'malley 21:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)

First, what he said on Halofanon is irrelavent here. Halopedia is not Halofanon and we do not operate under the same policies in any way just because we have similar content matter. Second, what he said here was not vandalism, because whether or not you approve of his statements or not is also irrelavent because once again, you do not have the right to censor his statements as a contributor to Halopedia, and so long as his edit was not blatant vandalism it cannot be removed. Third, removing another person's comments from any page is vandalism by itself, and if you want me to call you on it, I will. It will be reverted. --DEMONSPAWNED 00:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
