Minor/Minor Domo Elite
I'm pretty sure Minors and Major Elites were named Minor Domo and Major Domo, respectively, in the Ghosts of Onyx. I'll go through it again to make sure i'm not just making a stupid error.

Hey
Now I know I am quite known for attempting to change article names and merging articles about practically the same weapon, but I think this one stands out in that there seems to be no intelligent opposition.

Could you please change the article "M90 Assault Shotgun" to "M90 Shotgun"? I have google searched everywhere and this is the only reputable site to ever call it that, no book, bungie site, manual, or gameplay has ever described it as an "Assault Shotgun" to my knowledge.

No one has replied in the talk page with opposition, though Spartan 781 tried to delete the discussion tag. I just think that it would be very user friendly and give Halopedia a better reputation if articles like this did not have obviously fannon names.

Of course if you know something I dont I am definitely open to it ^_^ --Justin Time 21:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

7th ODST Battalion
Well they are known as Helljumpers, and the unofficial motto of the 105th ODST Division is the "Helljumpers". But that's the only proof I have of them being in the 105th.

 * 105th is the 105th Drop Jet Platoon, not the 105th ODST Division.

 * Okay, so the Platoon would be in the Battalion, but they WERE "slaughtered" in 2535... but then there could just be more people that joined up again as Helljumpers, but regardless, in none of the books does it ever say "105th ODST Division." Only "105th Drop Jet Platoon" and "the infamous 105th." We need... SOURCAZ!!! -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 21:05, 4 August 2007 (UTC)

RE: Re: Sidebar
Dear ED,

Sir, with all due respect, all of Wikia is migrating to the new PHPBB3 forums. The old DTL forums are going to be erased soon, I think. We only got the new forums upon my request, sir. I'd like to acclimatize the userbase with the new forums so when Wikia definitively sets down its foot, the Halopedians will be ready.

Thank you, sir. Hope to hear from you soon.

Sorting the Companies
Now i understand you've sorted the Recruits out into the companies which is my job. Now i understand, upon my last check before going to bed yesterday there was 6 which is unusually high so i admit they had begun to pile up since the last time i sorted the companies which was earlier yesterday morning. Now i thank you for sorting them but it's my job appointed from Ryan and i woulld appreciate it if in the future you would leave it to me to get it done because i did have a count on the numbers for each company but now i gotta recount them. Thanks, --Ajax 013 16:18, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * They have all put their names down since i last put all the people then in recruits into companies and i have been waiting for the recruits to arrive to a nice round number of 8 to put them into their companies however now i have discovered the companies are atchually not all the same numbers so now i will have to sort this out now. --Ajax 013 16:58, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

 * Not necessarily. They are one the Halopedia: namespace, not the main space. Just like how userpages are not supposed to be edited by anyone except their user, policy pages have always been protected because they are not supposed to be edited by anyone except admins and wikistaff; they are the rules of the project, not the project itself. It prevented users with personal vendettas from changing the policies.

Why did you revert!?
On the page where that guy put The forgotten I don't need compaments, from a backstabbing traitor!!! On halofanon, he recreated General Tater, and put fake comments, involving stuff like the evil O'malley sucks and stuff, the talk page history, proves it, but I knew it was fake before I saw it, he has been banned and his article gone. And he even called me friend on my talk page here. I will revert it, and it will not be changed again. The Evil O&#39;malley 21:43, 13 August 2007 (UTC)
 * First, what he said on Halofanon is irrelavent here. Halopedia is not Halofanon and we do not operate under the same policies in any way just because we have similar content matter. Second, what he said here was not vandalism, because whether or not you approve of his statements or not is also irrelavent because once again, you do not have the right to censor his statements as a contributor to Halopedia, and so long as his edit was not blatant vandalism it cannot be removed. Third, removing another person's comments from any page is vandalism by itself, and if you want me to call you on it, I will. It will be reverted. -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  00:59, 14 August 2007 (UTC)

User dispute?
I don't see that as a user dispute. He disagreed with the way I block people, and he called me a wicked conspirator, which seems to me to be a personal attack. What specifically were your reasons for making it into a cooldown block? Also, I prefer day-long cooldowns, just because two hours doesn't really do very much. Two hours just isn't a long time, especially this late at night. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 04:21, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * It really does look like a user dispute to me. From his userpage, he really does not appear to dislike you at all (in fact he seems to admire you) and, as 2401PT is a veteran user with high standing in the minds of many, he is not the type to make personal attacks, and as he has been part of Halopedia for several months with no block, he deserves a warning to let him think about what he has said. And so, as a veteran user, he also should understand our policies. If he returns and insults you again, his block may increase substantially. But in my time as an admin, no vet user has ever come back from a cooldown ban and kept on harassing. At this time of night, its just as likely he will go to bed and cool down.


 * The difference between harassment and personal attacks is that harassment is made at the spur of the moment in response to something that makes a user mad. Personal attacks are more premeditated and more personal. Of course, I'd suggest mediating those too, the block has always been my absolute last resort! -- DEMON SPAWN  ED  04:30, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Sirs, with all due respect, my evaluation of the comment is that it was flamboyant, as a display of exceptional linguistic prowess, and insouciant, and I advised GPT that it was a regular joke...like I'm the COOOKIE MASTAH and cabal commander. ^^ Cheers, RelentlessRecusant  'o the Halopedia Team http://images.wikia.com/rainbowsix/images/7/73/GDI2.jpg <font color="#A9A9A9">TALK • <font color="A9A9A9">MESSAGE 04:32, 14 August 2007 (UTC)
