Stop your Excessive Editing
You tend to make the rank pages look smaller, you should try a keep most of the info from before you change them completlely, combind with your new stuff they could look really good so keep the info and add the stuff you add except if you stat whats already there in different words. And how come every time you change the rank pages that there talk pages are gone? Signed the maker of all but 4-6 of the rank pages-- ryan  n  green '' day 20:50, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

I agree with Ryan on this one. Though your edits do tend to make some sense, they also shorten already short articles. Also, the Halo novels almost always refer to LTJG as lieutenant junior grade, lacking the comma you added. Because of this, I'm going to move the page back to lieutenant junior grade, but I'll leave the comma in the addresses (though I'm removing the shot you took at the original maker of the article).

Thanks for your input everyone. I have no problem with people editing everything I added, I was just trying to make the articles clearer and more standardised. Most of the information I removed was suplemented by the ranks template I added (such as LTJG lying between Ensign and LT) or seemed to be mere fan fiction. Hope I haven't offended anyone.

Oh, and in regards to the comma in Lieutenant, Junior Grade - that was based on that being the title for the U.S. Navy rank, which Halo seems to adapt. I know that in the books the comma was omitted but in all the ranks follow the U.S. scheme. No big deal either way in my opinion. Manticore 09:13, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * This is exactly why all Ranks not mentioned in the Halo Universe should be erased! New users, like Manticore, are going to think that its OK to add Realworld articles about ranks for Halopedia!   We need to stop this before it gets out of hand!  Soon people are going start adding what present day troop numbers are in platoons and Battalions!   Battalions have changed what like three times since World War II and then to claim that they won't change in the next 500 years its ridiculous!  Only what is mentioned in the Halo Universe should be allowed in Halopedia!-- Yamanba 10:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
