Halopedia Image Gallery
Just thinking that to really improve the space we need some more graphics like they have at Wookieepedia. A Halopedia Image Gallery has been created and I hope everyone can show off their Photoshop skills.

Think you know everything?
So think you know everything about the Halo universe? Well then you can help clear up Heretic lies from Gospel truth! These articles need proof!!  Please add sources or confirm that they are in fact lies told by the unbelievers! Some examples:

Whats that?-- ryan  n  green '' day 20:04, 4 January 2007 (UTC)


 * If you play 3 hours of games in Halo 2 on Xbox Live between 12:01 AM (EST) on February 1, 2007 and 11:59 PM (EST) on February 3rd, 2007, and then be one of the first 13,333 to register on halo3.com, you are entered into a contest to be a Halo 3 beta-tester. Bungie mentions it here. --Dragonclaws 22:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

The Ark or Ark

 * Talk pages keep disappearing, including the Reach talk page and the Ark talk page. i've posted valid arguments on some things in both articles, and the day after i post them, they disappear. odd. Vikedal 01:48, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The vandal you refer to is User:RelentlessRecusant who on 16:58, 9 December 2006 moved the article "The Ark" to "Ark" but didn't move the Talk page with comments on it. -- Esemono 04:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Vote for Article Name

 * Change to The Ark (2)
 * Change to Ark (3)


 * Change to The Ark - Now I propose that this be reversed as "The Ark" is a better name for the article -- Esemono 04:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed The Ark--User:JohnSpartan117 05:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ark - there is never a "the" in the article name, as per Wikipedia standards!  -49 Proximal Secant [ Relentless  Recusant [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]]] 20:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Halopedia is not Wikipedia. -- Esemono 03:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Why does it matter if they redirect to each other anyway?--User:JohnSpartan117 23:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Besides broken redirects, it's not really a big issue. This vote is more to prevent users from switching it back and forth every couple of weeks.  If there is a consensus then we can point to this vote and say this article title has been deemed "The Ark" or "Ark" -- Esemono 03:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I would like to remind my esteemed colleagues that Wikipedia is the basis of all Wikias, and its guidelines are upheld by many Wikias, including the greatest in size of them all: Wookieepedia. Cheers,  -49 Proximal Secant [ Relentless  Recusant [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]]] 03:39, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Again Halopedia IS NOT wikipedia or Wookiepedia for that matter -- Esemono 23:10, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Vikedal 19:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The Ark Simply because it's the name of the object O_o. As much as wikipedia standards say "No The in the title", this is halopedia, not wikipedia.
 * Ark Not because of Wikipedia, but because it's simpler. To have an article say "Why, the Ark, of course." is more natural than "Why, The Ark, of course." --Dragonclaws 19:42, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ark I change my mind, it should be Ark because "The" is not part of the name. The Master Chief dosnt have "The" in the name of the article, so neither should the Ark.--User:JohnSpartan117 09:04, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Master Chief doesn't have a The because it's his rank of Master Chief Petty Officer, not The Master Chief Petty Officer.


 * I know...but they kind of use it to refer to him now! And in the third person its "the Master Chief" and the same goes for "the Ark". So ergo the page should be called Ark--User:JohnSpartan117 20:55, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

How many Kill Shots page
Quick opinion, we as a community should compile a table of how many shots from each gun it takes to kill each enemy in their weak spot and torso, shielded and unshielded on each difficulty -- User:Spartan 1138

Im confused
Are "bad words" aload on this site because some users not all the time but still use the not so friendly words. I just thought I should bring this up.-- ryan  n  greenday 15:31, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd say they're allowed, but not recomended. We should be civil, and adding swear words to messages can upset civility. There are swears in Halo, and I think it would be hypocritical to ban it on Halopedia. --Dragonclaws 22:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Distress Signal! RE: Screenshots!
What's the best way to take Halo TV screenshots?

Cheers,

49 Proximal Secant[ oracle ] 04:17, 31 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The best way, as in the way that gives the best quality, is to use a capture card to import it to your computer, and then either export that frame of the video, or pause it, take a screenshot, and crop the image to give only the image from Halo. The best way speedwise, is to use a digital camera, take a picture of your TV, and import it. This, BTW, is HORRIBLE with CRTs.  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  04:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

2000
Did anyone notice we are over 2000 pages? excellent! -- Esemono 05:02, 5 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Isn't it counting redirects? I think of it as minus about 500. --Dragonclaws 07:56, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Rank Template Format
I was noticed that someone was adding some kind of infobox to the rank articles. The templates look cool but because there is almost no content on most of the rank pages the template mashes with the infobox to look like this, Private. Now someone figured out you can solve this problem but looking at the Marine Ranks it seemed so crowded and with the new Infoboxes the information is pushed out of view on the page. So I split the officers ranks into a new Template and then moved it to the top where can be easily seen for faster navigation through the ranks.

Well it looks good to me, so I need some Halopedia input.

A) Should the Officer ranks be split off like shown Major General B) Should the ranks be moved to the top of the page as shown in Major General

Lyca?
Why isn't there a page about Lyca? 24.158.151.144 05:05, 7 January 2007 (edit)
 * Who's Lyca?  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  05:35, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
 * something in the Cortana Letters. Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant[ oracle ][[Image:H3 Monitor.PNG|25px]] 05:39, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
