Just curious, why did you revert the changes that I made? E: and if you reply "no evidences" it's a trivia section. Trivia section is made for speculation FlamingRain 14:19, December 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * Trivia information should be provided with proper sources and evidences. Otherwise, you'll find the Battle Rifle article to be full of trivia such as "This is a UNSC Weapon", "It is used mostly by Humans", "You can make headshots with it", "It can be used to snipe people".-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 14:23, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

okay. I think that's pretty retarded but I guess I'll go back and revert and cite a source with it.
 * No. First state your issue in the talk page of the article and if everyone agrees with you, then add it.-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 14:26, December 14, 2009 (UTC)

You keep wiping the talk page though.--Sandor051 18:34, December 15, 2009 (UTC)
 * Because it is irrelevant to the article. People keep trying to notify the community that Jorge-052 sounds British. Why is that so important? Sense of nationalism? Sense of pride? Sense of patriotism? We don't practise that in Halopedia. It is idiotic and complete nonsense. Unless it is a whole different case, it stays deleted.-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 19:06, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

It's notable. That would be why. And irrelevant of what you think, wiping the talk page is baffling. Because it would be the perfect place to discuss this. --Sandor051 21:07, December 15, 2009 (UTC)


 * I agree with Sandor. Wiping the talk page is pointless and appears reminiscent of the Cold War days when Russia blamed all it's failures on something impossible and then erased all pertinent evidence. Out of that, only the erasing of evidence applies here. The talk page should be kept as a record of debated materials. There's bound to be someone who will come along later thinking to put some tidbit in a page that has already been agreed upon as irrelevant. Except this fellow wouldn't know that, since the talk page is empty.

 * Actually, it's not notable. It is redundant. It's just the voiceactor's voice. What if it were to be a Chinese voiceactor, would that be notable? No. If the talk page contains good discussions that directly affects the content of the article (such as verifying rumours or expanding facts), then it can stay.
 * To OrionF22: Problem is that the talk page contains discussion which is irrelevant to the article itself. We do not delete talk pages without any proper reasoning. If it were to contain social discussion which does not improve/enhance the article itself, what's the point of having a talk page?-  5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 21:15, December 15, 2009 (UTC)

- You


 * That right there sounds worth mentioning in the talk page so you don't have to have the same issue again with another editor. What if you encounter this problem again? Had you left that part of the talk page alone, the editor might have been smart enough to look at it and realize that it had already been addressed. For this reason I believe that any piece of information referring to the article, no matter how seemingly irrelevant, should be left alone, so that some bozo doesn't repeat the same thing all over again. I understand why you would want to remove the social aspects, but if this socializing is discussing the article and what to do with it, then that too should be left alone. I thought that was what a talk page was for. So far, I haven't seen anything in a talk page worth deleting.


 * There is probably some two-watt out there who put something ridiculous in a talk page (or will). Perhaps it was a duplicate. That should be deleted, but perhaps a new subtopic should be created addressing the deletion of such content? This would allow users to chip in and voice their opinions as to the relevancy of this article, instead of just deleting it outright and leaving some users inquisitive as to why.

 * Halopedia is not a social site. If they insist on doing so, just use the Message Board feature provided by Wikia. Again, if it is related to the article and it could improve the article, it would stay. If the discussion strays off from the original topic, then it will be removed.
 * Regarding the voiceactor issue, it would be far better to have a link to the voiceactor profile (example, "He/She was voiced by INSERT VOICEACTOR HERE) rather than having a trivia which goes as such "This SPARTAN has an English accent" which is redundant and does not give any real information.

 * I understand non-relevent topics will be removed. I'm not arguing that they stay. I am arguing that minor, seemingly inconsequential topics be left in so that something similar is not repeated. Otherwise you may have to deal with 100s of editors thinking the mention of an accent is noteworthy. I see how it looks so insignificant and trivial that it should be forgotten, but I argue that it stay so you don't have similar problems down the road. Additionally, this should reduce the number of pointless or trivial edits if users can look at the talk page and see that what they want to put in is already addressed.

Yes this Wiki isn’t a social site. But a debate on whether or not the accent is notable is exactly why the talk page is there. So we can decide what relevance the information has, and lay out arguments for/against inclusion. And we do have precedence, for example it is considered notable that Byrne is the only Irish character seen thus far in Halo. Further I would consider it notable to mention if a character had a Chinese accent. It’s an integral part of their character, or at least it influences the way they are interpreted, a filter through which the user percieves them. --Sandor051 12:58, December 16, 2009 (UTC) "Regarding the voiceactor issue, it would be far better to have a link to the voiceactor profile (example, "He/She was voiced by INSERT VOICEACTOR HERE) rather than having a trivia which goes as such "This SPARTAN has an English accent" which is redundant and does not give any real information.

- Accent issue


 * Again, the solution to this issue is not to mention what accent they have, but to point out who is the voiceactor. This issue has been resolved in the past.- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 13:43, December 16, 2009 (UTC)

Subtank, I'm not even sure why you're a moderator. There's a talk page for a reason, to discuss facts and to see if it's relevant to add into the page. To discuss what seems to be irrelevant and then see if it's relevant enough to some people to add in. That's what the point is. You even told me that. However, you keep walking into the talk pages and wiping them clean because they are discussing "irrelevant information" even if it is quazi-relevant. You're contradicting yourself. Try harder next time.

FlamingRain 21:49, December 21, 2009 (UTC)
 * Did you not read any of the above statements? Subtank wipes sections that are irrelevant, social or unneeded discussions. I have seen this in all the wipes she has done. If a discussion topic isn't relevant to the article, or its plain unneeded or obvious, it goes off. - Major.png Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 21:52, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * Yet is that not the point of a talk page? To determine the relevancy of new information? That's what it was last time I checked. Once the information is agreed upon as irrelevant by the contributions of other users on the talk page, then it could be removed, but I believe it should stay, so that no one else down the line asks the same question.

 * Yes, but that's when a discussion topic is unclear whether or not its relevant. If something is clearly unneeded, social or plain obvious discussion, there isn't a need to consult before removal. Yes, a talk page is for discussion in accordance to an article, yes it is to determine relevancy for information. But I repeat, if a discussion topic is clearly unneeded, its to be removed. Take this case for example. Or in this, in which she restored relevant discussion content. Subtank doesn't go into talk pages and madly start deleting or restoring whatever she likes. There's a reason she (and others who do it) do that. - Major.png Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 22:09, December 21, 2009 (UTC)


 * I understand that. I know Subtank does not have a motive for spontaneously deleting material from talk pages, nor was I implying that she did/does. What I am saying is exactly what you are saying, with the exception that certain 'unneeded' material be left alone. This material is previous information that was posted to determine its relevancy to the article. I suggest it be left there so no one else in the future asks the same question, i.e. you determine that the fact that Pelicans share similarities with the V-22 Osprey is irrelevant to the Pelican article in the talk page, then I would say leave that discussion there so another user does not ask that same question later. If you leave it there, then perhaps that user will see it before editing, thus preventing the whole thing from repeating itself. Saves the admins some time, as well as other users.

Why lock the page?
Would you like to explain why you locked the lone wolf page for noble team? now that Microsoft has confirmed that he is a spartan 3 nobody but an ad min can edit the page (and of course) get the points that shouldn't even be theirs. im all for improving,but locking that pages till December 2010 wasn't a smart move at all.```grey101

http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/21746/Microsoft-Confirms-Spartan-IIIs-in-Halo-Reach/

It is locked, like with the Rookie, because of Speculation, vandalism and all that, they want facts with proof. ~Enlightment~ 10:06, December 18, 2009 (UTC)


 * "but an ad min can edit the page (and of course) get the points that shouldn't even be theirs." ...lol. Quit your whining. Points don't even matter. Most likely, it was locked (like most pages that are locked) because of excessively stupid edits.  Smoke Sound off! 15:02, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Subtank: Because you are one of the last persons who edited the article and have the power to do it now, I request you to edit the Noble Six article to at least not say Spartan-II when all sources (http://news.teamxbox.com/xbox/21746/Microsoft-Confirms-Spartan-IIIs-in-Halo-Reach/) point to it not being true.Mutoid Chief 20:27, December 18, 2009 (UTC)

Hey
Subtank, I was just looking back on the Drone page, I'm gonna add a link or something for my little research study for the colour/possible rank variation soon when its complete. Anyway, I guess maybe I was having a bad day, but I didn't realise how pissy I was about it:

"Subtank I know you have a high rep, and that's been gained by doing a lot of good things, but "the reasoning that it's not actually a "real" rank because it's in firefight" is completely absurd. You are inducing your own pic 'n' mix, personal canon and pulling it over the rest of the community. Despite whatever good you've done, I'm not going to respond lightly to this, because to me that's crossing the line..." And so on...

Anyway, I'd like to apologise. I'm sorry. I was a bit overzealous and I can't shoot you down for having an opinion and just editing with the facts you had. You're doing a great job as an admin of the Halo wikia, keep going. Merry Christmas and peace out. - TheLostJedi  19:22, 25 December 2009 (GMT)
 * I understand your confusion over this matter, but I'm only relaying the information I have at my disposal. I would never introduce new rules or conclusions without a discussion. Anyway, it has been established that certain aspects of multiplayer are considered non-canon as stated previously by a Bungie Employee back during the release of Halo 2. I can't recall when it was mentioned or where I could find it (Bungie.net doesn't archive its past news). So, by all means, please do your research and inform me. :D - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 18:20, December 26, 2009 (UTC)

Homecoming
Its kinda obvious that Ralph is ether not a spartan or his tag is not 303 because its not possible.

 * That is partly true... however, the canon of the number of active SPARTAN-IIs established by FoR has been contradicted countless times by newer media (Halo Wars, Halo Legends).

Just wanted to be clear
I'm being totally frank here, not trying to start anything, but you left a warning for making multiple edits in an article on my talkpage, and I just wanted to know which page you were talking about. I've been doing kind of a lot of editing lately. Thanks, Captain J 02:55, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Some clarification?
Hey there Subtank, I just noticed that you blocked the user Lordaki for 2 years for being 12 years old, citing wikia's terms of use as a reason for this. You also stated that he would be able to return when he was 14, as per terms of use. However, don't the terms of use state that one must be 13 years old to edit wiki, not 14? As quoted, "intended solely for users who are thirteen (13) years of age or older" and "warrant that you are 13 or older". Unless I am missing something here, the block should be shortened to one year upon the user turning 13. If I am missing something, could you please clarify?

About the header
Hi, I was just wondering how you put the news header about what's going on in Halopedia above the articles. I don't know if you were the one who first put it there, but I'm pretty sure you know how to make one. Not that I plan to edit it, but I'm planning on making one for another wikia.

Editing Summaries
Why did you remove that trivia from the Recon armor page? I'm not saying I necessarily agree with it, but I'd like to know why, since you don't provide edit summaries. They all say m, whatever that means. It looks like you just remove content because you don't like it.

Also, that VGH guy above doesn't know how to close his spans, so I added some  tags to close them off so the rest of your page wasn't rendered with his signature font or his colors. It does that in IE 8, so I can only assume other browsers rendered this page like that as well. <span style="background-color:#787878; color:white; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px"> ΘяɪɸɴF22  style="background-color:#787878; color:firebrick; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  Me<span style="background-color:#787878; color:firebrick; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px">  Talk    Contributions  style="background-color:#787878; color:gold; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  CAG 17:39, March 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * Refer to H:NOT. If the user thinks such should be mentioned, post it up in the talk page.
 * Regarding VGH: Not sure what you meant as it looked fine to me. Must be an IE8 bug/error. Get Firefox or Chrome. ;) - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 18:07, March 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I know the policy on speculation and such. I didn't necessarily agree with the trivia fact either. But I asked this question to find out why you don't give edit summaries as often. It is in the guidelines, so I was just wondering. In my opinion, when stuff like that happens where you delete content without a summary, it sometimes looks like you're just doing what you want to it. Please take no accusation charges from this. I'm just stating what I think here. Example: when you deleted the list of changes between Halo: CE and Halo 2...as I recall, I was one of two people to post on the talk page concerning its deletion. Yet it was deleted anyway. I do not know if there is some policy where if no one fights for an article's existence for x amount of days then it is deleted, but it looked like you just wanted it gone and just assumed everyone else felt that way.


 * Regarding the rendering errors: I'm guessing IE 8 doesn't use hte latest version of HTML, so Firefox or Chrome will automatically end tags and the right places, but IE 8 is more literal (hey, it's Microsoft), so it needed the closing span tags. I suspect I'm not the only one. Just thought I'd fix it. I do have both browsers, but Chrome sometimes can't access Google or Youtube, so I stopped using it. And I don't like the way Firefox looks, and haven't gotten around to customizing it yet. But I suspect I'll change soon.

 * Regarding the "List of Changes...": I was under the assumption that we all agreed on its deletion since all of the information has been covered in their respective articles. As such, I don't see any reason why we need the article to be floating around in Halopedia. It is an administrative convention which goes like "once the main article covers everything from the duplicated article, the duplicated article should be removed from Halopedia". A perfect on-going (?) project that illustrates this is the Action Figure project which aims on merging all action figure articles into one massive article, with the previous removed from Halopedia.
 * Regarding editing summaries; I wasn't aware I left it blank. I apologise. It should have been "Redundant" in the edit summary. Odd that it didn't appear automatically in the drop down menu...- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 21:52, March 23, 2010 (UTC)


 * I understand the conventions for deleting duplicate articles, but as I said in that talk page and I believe yours as well, not everything in the list of changes article was covered in their respective articles. Specifically, the Pelican. I have not seen any mention of landing gear on its page. I suppose such information could be added tehre, but I also think it would be useful to have the list article left alone, so other users could see a clear and concise list of all the changes, just as merging the action figure articles is aimed at giving the users a clear and concise list of all the figures out there.

 * Because it isn't worth mentioning and would be redundant. HCE's Pelican wasn't designed with a landing gear and was only modelled to fly around. H2's Pelican, which uses the same model although graphically updated, confirms that the Pelican does has a landing gear and the same goes with the variant used in H3.
 * The idea of a "List of Changes" article is simply nonsense and redundant; changes made in games are expected as innovations are better and sells well than imitations whereas "Action Figure" article being merged into one article is more of imitations rather than innovations which also sells well due to the differing design and quality. As I said before, it is far more concise and clear if such changes is listed in their respective article. - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 23:04, March 23, 2010 (UTC)

Brute Jump Pack Rank Pages
For some reason this requested splitting of the Brute Jump Pack page has been bugging me! I suppose all of the other Brute ranks have separate pages: Standard Minor, Stnd Major, Stnd Ultra and Captain Minor, Cptn Major, Cptn Ultra. Therefore i think the Jump Pack ranks should have too. This would require new images to be made (a decent transparent background image of the red and gold jump packers) but pretty much the same content. I could do it all myself but i don't knew whether you have any formatting/universal layout rules that have to apply, or whether you find this splitting necessary. So what do you think? <font color="#222" face="verdana">The Parkster <font color="#555" face="verdana"> - (<font color="#555" face="verdana">Chat Page |<font color="#555" face="verdana">Contributions |<font color="#555" face="verdana">Fan Fiction ) - 14:27, April 25, 2010 (UTC)


 * The thing is that these so-called ranks we're giving to the Brute Jump Packs are just speculations.

Convert Templates
I heard somewhere that even though this site is worldwide, it is to use convnetional spelling such as 'center' instead of 'centre', and the 'u' found in some words such as 'honor' was to be omitted. If I recall correctly, you were discussing it with another user on a talk page and stated that even though the user was 'right' for adding the British version of the word (I suppose that is the technically correct dictionary here), the American version was to be used. I could be wrong, but I know for sure someone high up here was saying that. Point is the convert template says 'metres', and to me, that makes me want to pronounce it 'mee-trees' instead of 'mee-turs'. I have no idea why, but it's the first thing that pops in my mind. I kept reverting the template to fix that. <span style="background-color:#787878; color:white; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px"> ΘяɪɸɴF22  style="background-color:#787878; color:firebrick; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  Me<span style="background-color:#787878; color:firebrick; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:24px; -moz-border-radius-topleft:24px">  Talk    Contributions  style="background-color:#787878; color:gold; -moz-border-radius-bottomright:24px; -moz-border-radius-topright:24px">  CAG 00:18, April 26, 2010 (UTC)

Noting Policy
On this page, Plasma Physics and I have just wrapped up a discussion about whether the Ross-Ziegler Blip is really a canon contradiction or whether it is actually consistent with how the Halo Array works. The latter has been proven, but Plasma Physics feels the inconsistency should be left noted on the page because that's policy and that the Blip a mistake is the first assumption. I disagree, since it's been known since Halo 1 that the Array works by destroying bio-mass, thus it is not a mistake but he suggested I ask you.
