Reverting your edits on McFarlane Toys
Dear Avatar_of_Chaos

I apologise for reverting your edits on the mentioned article. The main reason is organisation. This wiki has suffered enough messy articles with no categorisation whatsoever in the past and we're trying to prevent that to our best ability. If you keen on making those articles, I suggest merging them in one massive article like what the article has already.- 5 ub7 ank (7alk ) 15:57, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Then why not categorize them beyond just "real life" and revamp the entire Action Figures section? That's part of my intent and since I'm particularly well-versed with the McFarlane figures I was hoping to use it as a template for how we might handle things. These are particularly notable given that the figure line now covers Halo 3, Halo Wars and ODST.

I've seen the number of total figures and total articles and lack of organization and I'd like to help fix that because when it comes to some of the merchandise and non-media Halo products the information that we do have is sorely lacking. I simply followed the existing practice of breaking them up by Series.

Rather than have individual pages for each figure I think that the best option is by Series or Major Product category rather than just lumping it all into one article since McFarlane Toys has already produced too much product to make that feasible, in my opinion.

Thoughts? --Avatar of Chaos 16:53, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Spartan Black Edit
Just after I finished editing the Spartan Black comic, I noticed that you had reverted that. I edited it because I saw a new article whose information had not been incorporated and I added it. What was wrong with my edit?--Ant80 21:35, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

dead space armor
i wanted to ask if the military suit was the final suit you get if you beat the game or is there more with out downloading


 * Yes, it is the final suit. You can obtain alternate permutations via XboxLive using Microsoft points.- 5 ub7 ank (7alk ) 18:12, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

12 rounds
what happens after you beat 12 rounds on easy in dead space do you unlock any thing???
 * I believe you unlocked the extra logs/audio logs and the armour.- 5 ub7 ank (7alk ) 18:15, 29 April 2009 (UTC)

Hah, thanks for the bot sending me messages at the Dead Space wiki. Quick question, how would one such as I build a script such as that? KamakaziSparow  I have nothing to offer you but  blood ,  sweat ,  toil , and tears . 03:03, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

Two articles about the same matter
Hi Sub, I'd like to draw your attention about two articles that both describe the Elite helmet glitch in Halo 3, being Double-Helmet glitch and Elite Helmet glitch: I'd suggest to keep the latter and delete the first one, for it's much less elaborated and clear. 15:53, 1 May 2009 (UTC)

I humbly accept the award. Thank you. <font color="#666666">Smoke  21:06, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

Regarding the Collector's Edition Manual
I noticed you put the grammar template there. I went through and corrected most of the errors; however, I will be going to work soon, so I didn't have time to run through it thoroughly. Mind taking a look to see if that template is still needed? <font color="#666666">Smoke  11:37, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

Thanx I guess
I spent all night working that out...My answer, however...was the same as my earlier coding...except for one thing...that after each section...I should have ended it with "|}|}" rather than just "|}". -- Fore  run  ner  14:40, 15 May 2009 (UTC)

Hey there! I could use some help with a big project...
Hey, I'm Praetorian Dude. I'm actualy more Xenopedia based, but this is where I could reach you and it seems apropriate for my master plan...

Aliens vs Predator vs Halo.

Halo: Spartan Black inconsistency
PLEASE unlock the Halo: Spartan Black page because of an inaccuracy. The cover shows four Spartans, clad in Mark VI armor, when this is supposed to take place BEFORE the Battle of Reach. Before the Battle of Reach, Spartans had the Mark IV armor, and right before the Covenant invasion, were issued the Mark V. This is an inaccuracy overlooked by Marvel, and STRONGLY urge you with best speed to email the editors at Marvel. I already did though, but I just want it to be known strongly to them to revise that immediately.


 * First of all, the story is under production, thus it is possible that Black Team (the team mentioned in the novel) is one of the armour testers similar to Maria-062. Secondly, all we know for now are speculations based on the art posted by Marvel. Lastly, do note that Bungie is supervising the comic production, thus possibly adding new canon to the Halo Universe, not ignoring them.-  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 05:48, 20 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Alright, if you insist. I'm a die-hard Halo fan, you see, and want things to be as canon as it could be. Not that I don't mind non-canon, but I don't want non-canon to be directly tied into canon, then I think it ruins the value of what really happened.


 * Read this then...


 * Firstly, always sign in using the 4 tildes as so ~ . Secondly, almost everyone in Halopedia is a die-hard fan (I'm just a fan...). Thirdly, we cannot speculate if we don't have the proper sources to support it, that's why we didn't include the Armour Inconsistency.-  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 19:40, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Sorry about that. I'm a BIGGER die-hard fan. Well...At least know every possible single thing about it that there could be. Everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes, I did read it, so now I'll relax.EtErNiTy92 23:28, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

MoS
I don't know if you saw my comment way down at the bottom of your blog about MoS but I was wondering if you could put something in the MoS about all the crazy linking going on? Something along the lines of the style guideline over at Wikipedia would be fine. It would make my life easier when I go around and try to disambig pages. Whispering 08:04, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

MOS question
Why are the Advantages and Disadvantages of a weapon supposed to be subcategories of Design Details?

I could see certain advantages of the design (like using HE bullets or operating on some principle), but advantages and disadvantages of the weapon as compared to another weapon seem to warrant separate sections below Design Details.

Could you perhaps clarify? -- Nutarama 22:48, 8 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I can't really clarify why as the idea came from a Wikipedian friend of mine. However, judging from our articles, the advantages and disadvantages of weapon is to detail the flaws of the accuracy, ammunition, and/or design (like what you stated). That said, the main idea of these subcategories is to point out the main flaws of the weapon, not to compare with other weapons. I couldn't be any clearer. If the current response doesn't seem to answer your question, I apologise and will review the matter.-  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 06:50, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Could there also be a section on damage of something similar? Several articles, such as the M6D Personal Defense Weapon System, take up quite a bit of space saying how many shots are needed to kill an enemy.  This usually appears in the Advantages or Disadvantages section, but without a baseline to compare it to, the information doesn't seem to be an advantage of disadvantage (is 18-24 headshots to kill an Elite Zealot with the M6D good, bad, or indifferent? I can't tell).


 * Ah, for that matter, such information should be discarded as that information belongs to HaloWiki.Net. What is meant to be in advantages and disadvantages are, like I said before, flaws of accuracy, use of ammunition and/or design. Such information about how many kills is needed should be in the Tactics section.-  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 14:16, 9 June 2009 (UTC)

Tense
In one of your right vs. wrong examples for usage of tense, the right and wrong text is exactly the same thing. -- Nutarama 22:49, 8 June 2009 (UTC)

Evil Text Editor
I was just wondering about that when you posted, thanks :D

Why do you keep reverting my changes to the Ark? The thing you're reverting it to isn't even correct. Lordaerun 22:42, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * First of all, I did't revert your changes. All I did was trimming the article down to Wiki Standards as pointed out in Project MOS. I only change the layout of the article and moved your sentences to the first paragraph of the article. Thus, if what I did is incorrect (As stated, I only moved and trimmed), technically, that would be your fault. :P -  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 22:47, 30 June 2009 (UTC)


 * You did revert. I did various things, including changing the statement that EVA unlocks on Legendary. When you changed it, it was back to saying that. You obviously reverted. Lordaerun 22:57, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

 * How is fixing incorrect information "silly and redundant trivia? "Beating this level on Legendary unlocks the E.V.A. shoulder pads.". Is now in the article. YOU are the one that changed my edit and put it back in. EVA unlocks on Normal, not Legendary.


 * Like I said before, if what I did is incorrect (As stated, I only moved and trimmed), technically, that would be your fault. I would like to point out the fact that it was you who made that "silly" edit. XD-  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 23:07, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Character Infobox
The coding does actually work (see link)... However, it does not seem to be compatible with Halopedia. The coding overall, is better than the current, as it is far less complex and you can edit it easily.--  Fore  run  ner  15:55, 2 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Halopedia has an odd mediawiki "system". For example, our "collapsible" feature is absent from the system but when tested on other wikis, it works. I've asked Wiki Staff (and Manticore) to look into this matter, so don't worry. :) Oh, and I think the current template looks nicer. :P -  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 15:59, 2 July 2009 (UTC)

Beta Pages
Why is the Halo: Reach Beta page "Unneeded" if we have a page for the Halo 3 Beta? ~Epeu

Hello?
It's been a few days and you haven't answered my question. Why is the Halo: Reach Beta page "Unneeded" (in your words) if we have a page for the Halo 3 Beta? ~Epeu


 * Because there is no source to verify its existence, other than what Staten told in E3. If there is a valid source to verify its existence, then it stays.-  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 17:29, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

Deleted images
Subtank, I posted the {delete|reason} on all the images I specified that need to be deleted. Did I post it in the wrong area? If you check the images, I also made talk posts specifying why they need to be deleted.
 * Sorry, my computer didn't display the deletion template. Just wondering, are you a representative from Triblox?-  <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 20:54, 9 July 2009 (UTC)

I Have A Question...
I have a question:

I want to put a list of Halo: Combat Evolved maps on my User Page, with the Forerunner Sybols thay are on the bases of those maps. But will putting those symbols on my User Page be qualified Duplicate Images?

What the heck?
What the hell do you mean "unneeded"? It's an Easter Egg, of COURSE it's needed.

 * We haven't performed the update yet, so I'm going to go with "mysteriously disappeared." Actually, we've been troubleshooting some javascript problems lately, so the work that we did on that front probably fixed it.  If you have any more trouble, please leave a message on my talk page and I'll be happy to take a look. --KyleH (talk) 18:54, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

Nice job!
Hey thanks Subtank for making a very nice edit for the main page of WiCapedia! I like its new style. Is it possible to insert a background to all the pages in WiCapedia? Like Wookieepedia and Halopedia? Soviet SPETSNAZ 14:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

All you need to do is alter and add several css commands in the MediaWiki:Monaco.css, though I suggest letting Wikia Staff/Helpers to help you in that.- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 14:20, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

My User Page
If you have any time, could you please help me with my userpage? It has been acting up, and lately, the sidebar has been coming onto my userpage, making it almost impossible to edit (it covers the button up). I've already had Nicmavr have a go, but he couldn't get to the edit button :/

If you do somehow manage to get to the Edit button, then I should tell you that the problem lies somewhere with the banner on the top of my page. The  at the end does not work, and as a result, makes the box go around everything.

If you could help, I would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks!
