The Monitors Of Halopedia
Good Morning ED:

Before You cry out in outrage and say "Oh ***k! Not another Usergroup!", Please Let me State my case in the following message. When I first joined Halopedia, I knew of four Usergroups, The CoH, The UNSCoH, The, FoH, and The PoH. Now there are Usergroups I do not even know about as each person now thinks that if it is not related to their current usergroup, they need a new one. For example the UNSCoH could have Easily created Multiplayer articles instead of creating the MoH or SoH. What I plan to to with the Monitors of Halopedia(THIS IS NOT THE FINAL NAME!) is have a set group of Individuals (such as You and RR, Esemono, GuestyPersony-Thingy, etc and anyone else who has skilled wiki knowlodge.)help answer questions, help new users, create userboxes, REGULATE the creation of articles or USERGROUPS, and basicly MONITOR Halopedia without it going Hay-wire. PLEASE keep in mind that I am Aware that administrator can easily do this without the creation of this usergroup. I thought how ever it could be more organized as The group could Have all those skilled in wiki smarts monitor every aspect of Halopedia and at the same time be a FAQ page for those who a new Usergroup, etc. I have a readout below of what I plan it to be below, IF it is acceptable to carry out later. We need to control our users a little better, not like communists, but enought so that we have a safe, organized, and fun enviroment!. We don't need a mess!

The Monitors of Halopedia(name pending)

 * A set group of Members
 * Cannot join, must be selected (to avoid EVERYONE joining, as that defeats the purpose of a few "monitors")
 * Tasks are those which would keep Halopedia "clean" and help answe general questions
 * Keep in mind this is not Final, I am just listing whats coming into my head.

Anyways, please consider my request, as I wish To become a major contrabution to Halopedia, and this is one wway I thought I could help!

Useless usergroups
I believe that along with the BoH, the MoH, and the RoH are in need to deletion. We just don't need that many usergroups. The four main ones are the only important ones. These are highly useless. And I believe that we might want to have a vote over it or you guys could just delete them.--H*bad (talk) 20:58, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

The Tech officer pages
While going through the Category:Merge page, I came across those pages. Now, I don't believe that they should be merged with the Master Chief Petty officer, I think they should become one article. Now, you may be asking yourself, why I am posting this on your talk page and not those talk pages, it's because you and me are the only ones that are seeming to notice the page. So I think that they should be all put into a page called something like "Tech". What is your suggestion?--H*bad (talk) 04:04, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * problem being that, if the UNSC navy works anything like the US navy (the similarities are striking) there would be dozens, if not hundreds of pages like that. Every job in the navy has its own set of rank titles. What exactly is the Tech officer a "tech" of? for example, the US navy has ranks for Fire control techs, sonar techs, submarine navigation techs, and so on. "Tech" is a very ambiguous term. And in the end, there is no difference between a Tech officer 1st class and a Petty Officer 1st class. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 04:35, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I guess that makes sense. Okay well, I suppose that those pages should be merged then.--H*bad (talk) 04:52, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

 * Problem for me is that theres really no structure to the story and I can take it really wherever I want...so I have a lot of ideas that I don't really know which I like best. It always happens to me when writing stories, which is why I find journalistic writing much easier...less creativity, more substance. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 05:03, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Usergroups
Dear ED,

I think Halopedia needs to develop an official policy regarding user groups. At this point, the fate of the new groups is unclear, but one thing is very clear: it has been a damn hassle trying to sort things out with them.

I think we need to develop a policy that dictates any proposed groups need to pass an RfA type situation. That way, the community can decide if we need a new group, and not have to hurt any feelings or get into any confrontations with the members of new groups.

So, whether or not these new groups get torched or not, we need to have a plan for any more that might be created.

Forerunner
If you check the history for the BC/BCE debate forum, you'll see that Forerunner actually removed a comment--my comment--and in a very uncivil manner, while completely disregarding many other comments. Firstly, this is removing someone else's comment, which is not allowed, and secondly, I see this as a personal attack, which is just wrong. I blocked him for a week because of this, but he has complained to Angela, so, since you are the most active neutral administrator when it comes to speaking with Forerunner, I would like your opinion on how long he should or should not be blocked.

 * Definately. While Forerunner has gotten in arguements with me in the past, I personally think that a block is extremely severe and antagonistic.

"Tech" ranks
Hey ED,

Just wondering whether or not you think these inclusions to the petty officer pages are really needed. I know that they've been stated as ranks in the novels, but you and I both know that in the US Navy the rating is substituted for the rank.

I only bring it up because there could potentially be hundreds of other ratings, which would clutter the page. I think it would be more appropriate to state an explanation, and then use a dot-point list of the known ratings. What do you think?

Realistically, a lot of the information is just speculation, even if it does seem to fit.

Categorization
I noticed that on the Onan page, you used the syntax, rather than I know it doesn't really make a difference, but I'm weird and obsess about it, and I would prefer if you didn't put a space there, so it's the same as with the actual category, since there's never a space after the prefix.

Don't worry, i'll still work on your bot. I'll just type with my left hand, i'm making it in notepad, so i can take my time and type one handed. It will be done, no worries sir!

You just completely pwned me when you cleaned up Liwitoni Station. Also, we should make an article for all the other stations that are mentioned in the announcements on Terminal (Level), just for completency stufflez, even if they aren't playable or anything. I'm also going to make articles on Sector B, Sector A, the Docks, and the City Centre from the road signs on Metropolis, so feel free to help clean those up and/or add info. =D <font color="#000000">g <font color="#770000">ü <font color="#cc0000">é <font color="#ff0000">ß <font color="#ff3333">Ł <font color="#ff6666">¥ -<font color="#9999ff">π <font color="#6666ff">é <font color="#3333ff">Ґ <font color="#0000ff">∫ <font color="#0000cc">ø <font color="#000066">ñ <font color="#000000">¥ -<font color="#000000">† <font color="#007700">ħ <font color="#00cc00">î <font color="#00ff00">И <font color="#44ff44">g <font color="#99ff99">¥  02:37, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
