Rollback rights
I'm not sure if you know this, but the Help:Rollback page says you must have 1,000 edits, but on the talk page, it says you must have 1,500. Respect them Grunts, M  o  u  s  e   19:22, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

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!

 * Hmm. See what the other admins think about this. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 16:37, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

problem...
Dear ED,

GPT has left Halopedia, he's blocked himself, and Sannse has removed his administrator access as per his request.

Cheers,

 * That's a rather large problem. Exactly why did this happen? -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 23:21, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Umm...well, I know GPT as a RL friend...and he's going through really hard times...I don't think I'm willing to disclose any more information except that he did it of his own volition.

 * Hah hah fine. Well, do you know if it is a spur of the moment thing and he just needs time to cool down, or should we prepare to replace him at his positions? -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 23:27, 18 June 2007 (UTC)
 * At first, I thought he was 50% serious and 50% just frustrated. Now, I think he's 75% serious and 25% spur-of-the-moment...he hasn't answered two of my phone calls to him...furthermore, do you want to discuss this on IRC?

welcome/IP invite
Hey ED,

I noticed you've used the welcome template on IP talk pages. I thought we were going with instead.

--  Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 03:49, 19 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah, so I did...it wasn't intentional, I usually do use the IP invite, I must not have been paying attention...-- ED ( talk )(gaming) 04:02, 19 June 2007 (UTC)


 * No problem. I understand there are more important concerns at the moment. --  Manticore  [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] TalkundefinedCSV 07:46, 19 June 2007 (UTC)

Re: Some recognition
Thank you ED! :)

I see you too have been busy inviting IPs!

Cheers,

 Manticore  TalkundefinedCSV 03:32, 20 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Heh yeah, I've noticed they come back more when invited, so I always invite them when i see them too. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 03:33, 20 June 2007 (UTC)

Forum:Enough Usergroups!
Dear ED,

Please comment. IMHO and in Dragonclaws's opinion, it's getting out of hand, Rebels of Halopedia, Bungie of Halopedia, Multiplayers of Halopedia, etc...

wazz archivahs?
Dear ED,

We definately have been recently having Halopedia Warz, although it gets monotonous and tedious to record, because with all due humbleness...GPT and I rox. ;-) We recently played TheObviousOne and CommanderTony and won 25-5...yeah...;-)...but definately, when we have our next matches tommorrow or Friday evening, I'll make a note to record them.

May I ask what for, sir? ;-)

Cheers,

 * Replied your email. Affirmative on your idea...it's very kewl...I'll get it rollin' ASAP. BTW, do you want to join the UNSCOH? I'd really get some of the other users excited, and of course, I'd immediately offer you rank of Major from Private (how many pay grades did you skip? ;D)...Major is the highest non-elected rank in the UNSCOH. ;-) Cheers, <font color="#D3D3D3">Relen <font color="#A9A9A9">tless <font color="#808080">Recu <font color="#000000">sant 'o the Halopedia Team [[Image:Fleet Admiral.jpg|25px]] <font color="#A9A9A9">TALK • <font color="A9A9A9">SPEAK 04:19, 21 June 2007 (UTC)


 * Heh, sure, I'll join. That's a good pay grade. So, where's my company of troops? hah hah. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 04:24, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

p.s. - Thank you for the HTML that made that wonderful calligraphy. ;-) Furthermore...company of troops? I thought that majors are the XOs of battalions. ;-) Where the hell are our 1,000 subordinates?! ;-)
 * Why thanks, I thought I'd fancy up the process of awarding stuff. As for Majors, they command smaller Batallions, but larger ones usually fall under a Lieutenant Colonel or a Colonel...My Army ROTC unit is Battalion sized and led by a cadet colonel. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 04:32, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

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 community needs to come to some form of agreement on what needs to be done about it. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 21:03, 21 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Okay, so I created a forum on it. Forum:Some usergroups unneeded?--H*bad (talk) 21:12, 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)

hbad
You may want hbad. He is currently vandalizing the wiki.--H*bad (talk) 04:44, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I got him. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 04:50, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Yep. So, why aren't you around the Halo Fanon Wiki anymore?--H*bad (talk) 04:53, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * Ah. Its my story see. I had an idea where to go with it and I sort of indefinately postponed it because I hit a wall and I've been having trouble getting good images for the story...that and I'm trying to do the admin duties on the 2 wikis where I'm an admin while working at my job 20-30 hours a week, in addition to other obligations, I'm rather pressed for time lately. But I would like to complete that story, writing a story on a wiki is really very fun. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 04:56, 22 June 2007 (UTC)
 * I see. Well if you guys were to have another admin....hint hint.(Kidding.) Anyways, I am sorry to hear about that. No really. I hate it when that happens, writers block....very bad. I get it all the time it would seem.--H*bad (talk) 05:00, 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)
