User dispute?

I don't see that as a user dispute. He disagreed with the way I block people, and he called me a wicked conspirator, which seems to me to be a personal attack. What specifically were your reasons for making it into a cooldown block? Also, I prefer day-long cooldowns, just because two hours doesn't really do very much. Two hours just isn't a long time, especially this late at night. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 04:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

It really does look like a user dispute to me. From his userpage, he really does not appear to dislike you at all (in fact he seems to admire you) and, as 2401PT is a veteran user with high standing in the minds of many, he is not the type to make personal attacks, and as he has been part of Halopedia for several months with no block, he deserves a warning to let him think about what he has said. And so, as a veteran user, he also should understand our policies. If he returns and insults you again, his block may increase substantially. But in my time as an admin, no vet user has ever come back from a cooldown ban and kept on harassing. At this time of night, its just as likely he will go to bed and cool down.

The difference between harassment and personal attacks is that harassment is made at the spur of the moment in response to something that makes a user mad. Personal attacks are more premeditated and more personal. Of course, I'd suggest mediating those too, the block has always been my absolute last resort! --DEMONSPAWNED 04:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Sirs, with all due respect, my evaluation of the comment is that it was flamboyant, as a display of exceptional linguistic prowess, and insouciant, and I advised GPT that it was a regular joke...like I'm the COOOKIE MASTAH and cabal commander. ^^ Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[halowikia:Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 04:32, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

FYI, my block was before I was advised aboot that... and I'm just much moar strict--if someone breaks the rules, regardless of whether it was premeditated or not, /me reaches for block. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 04:36, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

You may find that blocking quickly and strictly harms your own standing, as well as Halopedia overall. Have paitence, my friend! --DEMONSPAWNED 04:38, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Fully concur, Commanders. While it may not be my place to suggest as such, I feel similarly to ED. Perhaps we should take this aside privately? The cabal communications method (not the one sending IBCMs with "Hi!" written on them) comes to mind. ;-) Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[halowikia:Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 04:40, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Mission to Eridanus Secundus

Why was this page deleted and made a redirect? You don't seem to have typed a reason for the edit anywhere. I created the page because as far as I could tell, there wasn't any other way to look up which Spartans were involved in the mission. --68.44.13.236 05:26, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

The information on the mission is covered in the Eridanus Secundus, Eridanus Rebels, and History of the Spartan Projects articles. --DEMONSPAWNED 16:57, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Actually, only the third link there currently has the list of Spartans involved in the mission; and it seems kind of a specific piece of information for a summary of the entire program's history. Also, there's no rule that the same information can't appear in more than one place. Reverted. --68.44.13.236 22:47, 5 September 2007 (UTC)

RE: Company Command

Dear ED,

I had the vague notion to ask CommanderTony on Sunday, and I asked the Q, but we were caught up...meh...anyways, I'll probably take "B", as CT is likely to be sentimental about "D". =]

Cheers,

RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[halowikia:Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 14:04, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Ahh. OK, don't forget to change the command roster when you officially arrive at B Company. --DEMONSPAWNED 16:58, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Rank articles

Dear Ed,

I would greatly value your opinion on Sergeant First Class and Command Sergeant Major.

Thanks,

Manticore File:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20 ^{Talk | CSV | [[RfA} 23:41, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks! =D

Thanks for the award! I would have never thought of receiving awards from B Company! =D I will continue in my work! --THECHEESEWARRIOR!!! ^GOUTA • _CHEDDA 07:18, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, its a new system. You actually got the first one, other than the ones I automatically got. --DEMONSPAWNED 14:19, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: IP invites

Hey Ed,

I always sign whenever I leave the welcome template or IP invite template, but thanks for the reminder :)

Its quite coincidental that you left me this message, because I've recently added coding to the IP invite so that you won't have to use the tildes, it'll sign automatically.

Cheers,

Manticore File:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20 ^{Talk | CSV | [[RfA} 08:09, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, that's handy. Good call. --DEMONSPAWNED 14:12, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Took your Advice

My username is Popsoap, and I'm the one who added the Cairo Station umm..... stuff to the page today.

Welcome to Halopedia, Popsoap! --DEMONSPAWNED 14:11, 15 August 2007 (UTC)

Meh

Guess you're kinda right aboot that, but at least having a minimum number of mainspace edits persuades users to contribute more to the wiki than to just the community... meh. /me was thinking 250, but it's up to j00. --NOTASTAFF GPT_(talk)^(eating) 03:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

I'll email you and RR about it. --DEMONSPAWNED 03:31, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: Rollback

Dear sir,

I saw your comment on GPT's talk page...perhaps we could speak about this privately tomorrow morning before we commit to anything? Thanks! =]

Cheers,

RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[halowikia:Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 03:25, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Thanks!

Thanks a ton Major! I wont let you down! I dont worry about the others, things may get heated sometimes, but in the end we are all Halopedians trying to implement our idea of making this place better! Anyways, thanks again for the promotion!

--Justin Time 06:42, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Sure thing, Corporal. Carry on. --DEMONSPAWNED 14:14, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Hola, amigo!

Dear sir,

It looks that I forgot to tell you that over the weekend, CommanderTony and I discussed, and I've been plopped into command of "B" Company. It feels distinctly unnatural to be issuing to you orders, so I guess since you're extremely active with the company, I'll see what I can think up, and then get back to you on it. I feel that we'll get stiff competition from the Dingos, so let's fight on! =]

Cheers,

RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[halowikia:Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 15:04, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Ok. So I'll go change the Comany roster to put you in it. --DEMONSPAWNED 15:06, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Meh, do I get those 1K edit awards? ^^ ;-) Cheers, RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[halowikia:Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 15:10, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Yes, I am processing you. haha. --DEMONSPAWNED 15:13, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Suggestion for "B" Company page design

Dear ED,

I know you've done a lot of work to the company page, so I thought I wanted to consult with you before doing anything. ^^ Perhaps we could use the TOC code to force the TOC up top to make navigation easier, and fit a picture into the styled infobox? And maybe we could centralize the page around IA drives more...possibly give rewards for pushing through UNSC-affiliated FAs? ^^

Cheers,

RelentlessRecusant 'o the [[halowikia:Halopedia Team ^TALK • _MESSAGE 15:13, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Good ideas. Go for them, Colonel. --DEMONSPAWNED 15:39, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Re: Edit Permission

oh, ok. Sorry about that. I'll remove the tags. However, it was Spartan1138's suggestion earlier. :P --Blemo ^TALK • _{CONTRIBUTIONS} 21:14, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Ah, its all good, just remember if for future reference. --DEMONSPAWNED 23:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Namespaces

Do we have namespaces for other Halopedias, like Wikipedia? Until next time, respect them Grunts. This is Moue, squeaking out! 21:48, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

I'm not quite sure what you mean. We do have other namespaces on Halopedia (Template, Halopedia, Image, etc) and all other language Halopedias have them too, in their own languages (es.Halopedia has "Usario" instead of "User", "Ayuda" instead of "Help"). Is that what you mean? --DEMONSPAWNED 22:05, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

No, I mean like how the namespace "wikipedia" links to Wikipedia. Do we have namespaces that link to other Halopedias? Until next time, respect them Grunts. This is Moue, squeaking out! 22:56, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, all wikia wikis have that. Ours is [[wikia:c:halo:PAGE NAME]]. Put that on any other wiki, it should link to the page here. --DEMONSPAWNED 23:20, 17 August 2007 (UTC)

So can you tell me the mainspaces of the German, Polish, etc. Halopedias? I plan on making it like Wikipedia where links to the article in different languages appear at the sidebar. Until next time, respect them Grunts. This is Moue, squeaking out! 00:24, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah. Spanish Halopedia is [[wikia:c:es.halo:PAGENAME]], German Halopedia: [[wikia:c:de.halo:PAGENAME]], French Halopedia: [[wikia:c:fr.halo:PAGENAME]], Japaneese Halopedia: [[wikia:c:ja.halo:PAGENAME]], and Polish Halopedia: [[wikia:c:pl.halo:PAGENAME]] --DEMONSPAWNED 00:32, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Before I start this rampage, making such coding is possible, and just concerns putting the link at the end, right? Until next time, respect them Grunts. This is Moue, squeaking out! 00:36, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Yeah, but make sure you use the colon before the page name, or it will just link to the homepage. But see for yourself...wikia:c:es.halo:Cortana, or wikia:c:de.halo:Master Chief. Keep in mind though, that you'll need to use Japaneese characters to link to the japaneese site. --DEMONSPAWNED 01:02, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Thank you! Until next time, respect them Grunts. This is Moue, squeaking out! 04:48, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

Military

Hello ED,

When I was looking at all of the Userboxes, I seemed to notice you created and use all of the USAF and US Army JROTC/ROTC userboxes.

I was just wondering, do you plan to go into the US Military soon?

BTW, I created a new JROTC userbox! :)

Cheers,

Though i'll enlist if i'm not accepted.

Level Walkthroughs done by HaloRocks!

FINE! I guess I will just stop contributing then because what ever I put on halopedia ALWAYS seems to get deleted. DO NOTE THAT I PUT THE ENEMIES ENCOUNTERED IN HALO AND HALO 2 AND THE WEAPONS THAT THEY USED IN THE WALKTHROUGHS BECAUSE THEY USUALLY CHANGE THROUGHOUT ALL DIFFICULTY LEVELS. FOR EXAMPLE: IF YOU SAY THERE IS A ULTRA ELITE ON THE PILLAR OF AUTUMN ON THE LEVEL TEMPLATE, THEN THE INFORMATION WOULD ONLY BE TRUE ON LEGENDARY. SAME WITH THE WEAPONS. ELITES MAY ONLY WEILD PLASMA PISTOLS AND PLASMA RIFLES ON ONE DIFFICULTY LEVEL WHILE THEY MAY WIELD THAT PLUS A NEEDLER ON ANOTHER DIFFICULTY LEVEL. THE INFORMATION THAT I PUT ON THE WALKTHROUGHS WOULD HAVE GIVEN THE PERSON READING THE ARTICLE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE LEVEL. ALSO I AM NOT TELLING SOMEONE THAT THEY NEED MY PERMISSION TO EDIT THE LEVEL, ALL I AM SAYING IS THAT BEFORE THEY DELETE OR ADD SOMETHING TO MY SECTION THAT I EDITED, I WOULD LIKE THEM TO TELL ME WHAT THEY HAVE DONE SO I CAN EITHER THANK THEM OR QUESTION THEM! I AM NOT KEEPING SOMEONE FROM EDITING A CERTAIN PAGE, I WOULD JUST LIKE TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON! Sorry if anybody mis-understood. --HaloRocks! 19:15, 18 August 2007 (UTC)

NOTE: I wrote this so you would know what I did, why I did it, and why I wasn't too happy with why you deleted the information that I provided. PLEASE read the above before you delete this. Thank You and I am sorry for any misconceptions. Happy Day's!

First, it is incredibly irritating when you write a statement in all caps lock and bolded. Second, the eiits you made were, once again, redundant. In fact, they took up a large amount of the page and in the end, the information they provided was not necessarily correct. Enemies spawn randomly in Halo and Halo 2, and though their weapons vary, they have a set number of weapons that can appear, just like there is a set type of enemy to appear. Thus, the enemies encoutnered and the weapons encountered are completely random and can vary when playing the level more than once. --DEMONSPAWNED 02:00, 19 August 2007 (UTC)
