Heh. It's been a year. --Dragonclaws 21:47, 7 Dec 2005 (EST)

images?
I dont know if this is the place to ask this but, if I have a picture from bungie: a. am i able to use it on this website and b. whats the best way to get it to appear on a page I am creating?? --thepretenders22


 * You can post any image as long as it's not obscene, and if it's appropriate to the article. Images cannot currently be hosted on the site, they must be uploaded on a site like http://imageshack.us/ or http://photobucket.com/ If the image is smallish, it can be posted on its own, just by placing the URL on the page. If the image is large, a smaller image (a thumbnail) should also be uploaded and then you use this code:


 * [(address of large image) (address of smaller image)]


 * This make sense? --Dragonclaws 15:26, 17 May 2005 (Eastern Daylight Time)

Note that the above is now obsolete information. If you want to add an image, save it onto your harddrive and upload it using the "Upload file" option on your left. Using the code the image will appear 150 pixels wide and on the right side of the screen. --Dragonclaws 15:26, 18 Nov 2005 (EST)

Edits
Haha sorry to give you so much work... I'll make sure the images come out as thumbs from now on.

Heya. Go check out the new forum, there'll be a new section opened up for you. Thanks. - AgentSeethroo

Congrats
Heya, DC. You've been an asset to the Halopedia from day 1 (or so), and you've continued to do a great job with your Sysop duties, so I've made you a full Halopedia admin/beaurocrat/whatever. Keep up the good work! - AgentSeethroo


 * Thanks, it's appreciated. --Dragonclaws 14:37, 15 Sep 2005 (EDT)

Hey man, I saw your page and noticed that your page is very similar to this. --ZERVON 17:49, 23 Oct 2005 (EDT)


 * Great minds think alike. That one seems more focused on multiplayer than ours, though. --Dragonclaws 20:04, 23 Oct 2005 (EDT)

Thanks for linking my IP address to my user page. LordDoom

Monkt Problem
DragonClaws me and Monkt have been working for 3 weeks doing nothing but correcting the blatantly false information you put in this wiki. My friend overreacted but hes very personal towards his race, for this I am sorry, but please dont tell him he needs to quit doing something when we spend all our time doing nothing but correcting this site. I have a job and a family, and I'm dedicated to my religion enough to take out my time to fix this because me and Monkt do not want possible followers of haloism to be brought under false information. I will continue do evaluate Human informaiton until it is correct becasue it is my specialty when it comes to Halo and Halo history s also my area of expertise, and Monkt is the foremost knowledgable Brute on the Covenant Heirarhcy and it's history. Please don't force him to leave after all weve been doing for this site.


 * "Blatantly false"? You guys haven't really corrected any information. Besides the expansion of the Grace article, you've just fleshed out, reworded and removed excess words. And most of that was you as opposed to Monkt. While I am appreciative of these contributions, I find it worrying that nearly all of Monkt's actions were done on basis that he was a member of the "Jiralhanae race". The facts are, I told him repeatedly not to censor the article, and then he'd remove it again with a disrespectful response. I directly warned him to stop or be banned, and yet he continued. If you really want to help, please stop the role-play - it's not funny. --Dragonclaws 19:30, 2 Nov 2005 (EST)

Roleplaying? Excuse me Sir, but there is no roleplaying going on. We follow Haloism and thoroughly believe that with our Faithfullness to the Gods and Almighty's we will transgress to Installation 04 to live out eternity in blissful peace. Now, in my religion I am a SPARTAN-II, and in my reality I am. I have all the same skills a SPARTAN-II does my religion offers "Training" to learn so I can fulfill my religious aspects properly. The same is with Monkt, he was brought in as a Jiralhanae and was trained to act as such, therefore please do not say we are roleplaying you are simply insulting our religion. Also, Monkt does as much work for this site as I do whenever I must correct soemthing I cannot do alone we collectively put our knowledge together and work until we find the answer. Thank you for responding, but I digress, you gave Monkt a warning and banned him when he did nothing after your warning, at least thats the way it is according to the logs. If you dont minmd I'd very much appreciate it if you would unban my friend. Thank you for taking the time to read my little rant. --Senoir Petty Officer SPARTAN-067 109th Platoon, Infiltration Division.


 * According to the history of Monkt's Discussion page, I posted my warning on 00:20, 2 Nov 2005. According to Monkt's User Contributions page, he removed the Jiralhanae info on 09:46, 2 Nov 2005. If you are indeed a follower of Haloism, I apologize for calling it roleplaying. The fact remains that Halopedia represents Bungie canon; Haloism's take on things has no place here. --Dragonclaws 18:03, 3 Nov 2005 (EST)

So, DragonClaws, if I am to understand you correctly you are saying my religion and beliefs are not Bungie canon, and furthermore that my religion takes on things that arent in the encyclopedia of Halo knowledge? Surely you jest, or are misdirecting your words and intentions. Allow me to set you straight the Whole of my religious knowledge is based on the foreground of the Knowledge, however inaccurate in places, located in this Encyclopedia. Now, this all began as an intention of requesting you to unban my religious brother, yet it turned into an insult to all that I, as a follower, believe. If you had simply came to me, though how you could have known to Ill never know, this could have been resolved fairly simply and most assuredly without the feelings that have been shredded here these few days. Now, sir, I do not mean to be rude and so warrily blunt, but, Monkt knows more of the Sacred Texts then you shall ever dream of possesing, furthermore and strictly to my point, at the request of a Brethren not in religion, but as a gamer, unban Monkt.


 * Here's the deal. Dragonclaws is on vacation for a while. Email me at AgentSeethroo@gamerfocus.com and we'll discuss this and see what we can work out. It's not my goal to lose users, but we'll figure out what we can do, okay? - AgentSeethroo 18:05, 8 Nov 2005 (EST)

Hola
I just popped in and felt like saying hi.--John117 14:37, 27 Nov 2005 (EST)

Hi. --Dragonclaws 18:59, 29 Nov 2005 (EST)

Your Opinion
Hey, DC. Go check out the Team Member forum, there's something there I'd like your opinion on. Thanks. - AgentSeethroo 18:03, 29 Nov 2005 (EST)

Thanks for fixing my link, dude, I forgot to check it. --MedLifeCrisis 16:17, 30 Nov 2005 (EST)

Hello, there Mr. Dragonclaws just dropping in to say HI! -Mr.Green

Thanks for the pic help
Thanks a lot for getting that on there, I couldn't for the life of me figure it out! (I had the wiki toolbar and could embed pics easily that way, but then I upgraded my browser and it doesn't support that anymore.)--Energy sword 21:28, 7 Dec 2005 (EST)

Sure, no problem. --Dragonclaws 21:49, 7 Dec 2005 (EST)

Question
Where did you get the picture of the Halo script? Also, is there anywhere where I can find an unabridged copy of the script?--71.124.160.249 18:31, 13 Dec 2005 (EST)


 * I got the image from Rampancy.net, who says they have the script . I can't help you with the other question. --Dragonclaws 00:05, 14 Dec 2005 (EST)

My Entries
It's me, Spartan99. Did you delete my entries on the Ferret, Angry Pelican and Barracuda? If you did, why? If you didn't, can you help me find out who did? It's not on My Contributions anymore.


 * As I posted on your talk page, I found evidence the vehicles were fan-created and non-canon. After some looking for mention of the vehicles in the books, I decided to go ahead and delete them. If you can offer any Bungie source, I'll consider undeleting them. --Dragonclaws 02:20, 28 Dec 2005 (EST)

The Albatross
How do we know that the Albatross isn't really a crashed Forerunner dropship? Just wondering --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:52, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

P.S. Im Mr.Green


 * Having a Warthog in it suggests it was used by humans. Have any humans besides the Spartans been able to use Forerunner tech? Also I assume Bungie named it Albatross in an article due to the logo on the image. --Dragonclaws 20:15, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

Ah, okay I was just wondering see im too poor to afford Xbox Live and they kinda don't sell the map packs at Wal-mart --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 20:19, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

yes they do (MicahPhaorh)

Page for removal
Hi. There's a page which should be removed completely with its Talk page - Camping (computer gaming). The only leftover is the Talk page with redirect, which leads nowehere (another empty Talk page.) TIA Ryan 10:42, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)
 * ...and a page to add. There is a Halo Graphic Novel page, which should be added to the main page novel list (it's locked for obvious reason so I was unable to add it). Ryan 16:17, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Right. It's been done. --Dragonclaws 17:30, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)

The Halo Speculator
He is my brother (*shivers*) and it looks like he spammed across the board too I do that but only in the Sandbox --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 21:40, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)

Halo 3
There is a minor typo in Halo 3 topic. Correct name is "Xbox 360" and never "XBOX 360" (second sentence). TIA for correction. :) Ryan 20:07, 21 Mar 2006 (EST)

65.2.180.162
65.2.180.162 the guy who went around changing everything about the battles, he typed like a bot. I don't like it. I might have a proposal about these non-registered people and their changes. We don't know whose a bot or not.--SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 19:52, 22 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I think he may have been trying to use some code that the wiki doesn't support. He used terms like "Covenant Empire" so he does know something about Halo. In the past, bots have only posted ads and links to porn. I think AgentSeethroo is working on making one of those security graphics with letters and numbers only humans can recognize, for anonymous edits. --Dragonclaws 21:50, 22 Mar 2006 (EST)

Hmm..I didn't see that. Any idea on how one of those security things work? I mean, like how it is aquired. --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:46, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I don't know, he just said he'd look into applying it to the wiki. This is what I was talking about BTW, CAPTCHA. --Dragonclaws 18:56, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

Those things are fairly new then...besides the primitive types. I looked into one of the sites that they had. Man, thats some complicated stuff.--SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 22:19, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

Bad link to the Users Prefence Help page.
Its a bad link if you go to your prefernces you'll see a red link. Is there anythin we can do about this or is it the template? --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:58, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Yeah, that guide just never got made. It's pretty straight forward, though. I don't know what problems people would have with the options. --Dragonclaws 18:40, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

I know, some of it you just don't wanna screw around with casue it could mess you up alot. Like the integer thing. I tend not to screw around with code that much.--SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 22:20, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Well, I'm afraid I don't know anything about it myself. You could try talking to AgentSeethroo. --Dragonclaws 23:31, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

Plasma Canon/Plasma canon
There are two pages with different information on about the plasma canon, one with a capital 'c' and one without. I'm not sure how to join them together (I'm New) so I thought I'd tell you as you seem to have ben here forever.--4runner 15:00, 30 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Yeah, thanks. I totally missed that. --Dragonclaws 16:47, 30 Mar 2006 (EST)

List of vandalizers
You probably have seen, but there has been a streak of vandalism lately and these are the ones I noticed (And fixed):


 * 81.203.100.127
 * 67.189.171.46
 * 24.62.159.9

It may or may not help but I thought you should know.--4runner 15:08, 3 Apr 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, thanks. I've banned them. --Dragonclaws 15:25, 3 Apr 2006 (EDT)


 * Revert the recent edits to the arbiter page and block the ip who edited it last


 * I think I got 'em all. Man, people can be rude. --Dragonclaws 16:36, 3 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Thx, it took me forever to copy and paste everything back into the articles. you're lucky, all you have to do is press the revert button


 * You can go into the history and click on a listed time to enter a version of what the page looked like at that edit. If you click edit, you'll see a warning about editing an old version. If you click save, the page will be reverted to that version. --Dragonclaws 16:59, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

Oops...
Didn't know that Sophia Bossedon page was legit. Sorry. I haven't browsed ilovebees.com all that much, didn't know she was a character.


 * EDIT* Now I realize that the reason I said that was the vandal... if he had said who the character was to begin with... --Energy sword 19:45, 6 Apr 2006 (EDT)


 * What happened was: when I deleted the vandalized page, your comment stayed on the talk page. Then I later created a real article, but the comment was still there. As it didn't apply anymore, I deleted the talk page to avoid confusion. --Dragonclaws 20:45, 6 Apr 2006 (EDT)

Ahh... ok. :)--Energy sword 10:53, 7 Apr 2006 (EDT)

User spam
The guy you blocked will come back as User:Bbbbbb and User:Bbbbbbce AND User:Ffff. Probly even User:Rrrrrr. The thing 10:07, 6 May 2006 (EDT)
 * Block User:User:82.208.174.74 that is the main IP address. The thing 10:08, 6 May 2006 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the info. --Dragonclaws 17:39, 6 May 2006 (EDT)

Suggestion Box
You seem to be the only Admin who frequents this page, and so you don't always see the suggestions made by myself and others. Maybe there should be a page devoted to "suggestions" for the wiki -Ed 15:25, 21 April 2006 (EDT)
 * Well, there is a section in the forums, as well as Halopedia:Projects. --Dragonclaws 16:33, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

All right. Those work. -Ed 17:47, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Would it be possible to make it so that users can only edit their own userpage?


 * I could lock your page from unregistered users, but I can't limit it that directly. Although, any registered vandal could be banned easily. --Dragonclaws 12:55, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

Thx :Haloman333 16:34, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

Halo 3!!!!!
Always working you are. You made 3 pics on the Halo 3 page in the last hour! I gotta make new pics of MC!--Jonners 15:17, 10 May 2006 (EDT)

Please let me be a sysops so I can lock my user page. it got vandalised.--Jonners 16:03, 11 May 2006 (EDT)


 * You don't need to be a sysop, I can just lock it from unregistered users. If someone registered vandalizes your page, I'll confront them about it. --Dragonclaws 16:52, 11 May 2006 (EDT)

Battle for Zanzibar
That wasn't advertising. I put that because lots of people know about that video on that site, and I thought it would be worth while to mention that so people can also get an idea of the map's popularity. Please don't tell me that was another big error cause i really don't want to get blocked from this site.--Jonners 15:08, 9 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, I suppose it would be alright to put it back. It just looked like a clever plug to me. We do get those from time to time. --Dragonclaws 15:20, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

Thx. --Jonners 15:49, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

Art for Dragonclaws


Heh Dragonclaws!

I drew this myself and wondered if it could go on the Linda page. I know it's unofficial but I don't mind if you don't want it on the site.--Jonners 13:15, 3 May 2006 (EDT)


 * I'm thinking it wouldn't be appropriate for Halopedia. I do think it's cool, though. --Dragonclaws 16:33, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

I don't mind. I can tell my halo-loving friends that the administrator liked it though! --Jonners 15:27, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

Wow, an administrator!
So you do host this site, kind of. How do you became an administrator?


 * AgentSeethroo needed help, so he asked me if I wanted the job. It's not something you can achieve, except perhaps by being loyal and being there when the current sysops can't handle it alone. In any case, it's always going to be AgentSeethroo's descision. --Dragonclaws 16:35, 1 May 2006 (EDT)

Oh, and thanks for helping with the honor guard and prophet pics.--Jonners 14:17, 2 May 2006 (EDT)

Makes sense since you are the foremost contributor to this site Dragonclaws :Haloman333 11:20, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

Maw difficulties
Soz about the whole Library thing. I uploaded some good walkthrough pics about the Maw from the Bungie website Evil Otto walkthrough. I was wondering if that would be Ok, although many pictures on this site are from other websites.

--Jonners 15:23, 30 April 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, the screenshots themselves are okay. The banner is a logo of The Library, and if we had an article about that site it would make sense to have the logo, however, it is totally inappropriate on Library and futhermore, it is rude and tacky. --Dragonclaws 15:32, 30 April 2006 (EDT)

Also, could you leave the image of regret I made on 300px? You don't have to but due to the size of the image You can't see it very clearly or barely make out the face on the resize.


 * I believe I've fixed the problem. The image had too much white background. I deleted it and uploaded a cut-down version. --Dragonclaws 16:28, 1 May 2006 (EDT)
