For future reference people. Please put a comma at the very end of your name, without a space between and between you and the first comma, have a space.--JohnSpartan117 22:51, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

"Lord" isnt Hood's actual title, its supposed to be a nick name.--&lt;font color=&quot;gold&quot;&gt;SPARTAN-117&lt;/font&gt;&lt;sub&gt; 03:33, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Not according to Eric -- Yamanba 05:22, 10 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I think that his title isnt a rank and was an honor bestowed on him similiar to a Knight.--&lt;font color=&quot;gold&quot;&gt;SPARTAN-117&lt;/font&gt;&lt;sub&gt; 08:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)

He probly got nighted by the british queen of there time.--Ryanngreenday 14:06, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Thats what im thinking but we have no evidence wit this. I think the fix we have now works best.-- 07:36, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Eric Confirms
All this new information proves is that Eric based the ranking system on the American system, something I've stated all along. However, as shown with certain "Anomalies" we don't know the exact Bungie ranking system. Therefore as I've stated multiple times in the past, if the ranking system isn't used in the Halo Universe it shouldn't exist on Halopedia. Ranks which now exist as articles on present day military ranks, (Hence their Realworld Templates) should be deleted because

A)As Eric has confirmed there are "Anomalies" with the UNSC ranking system, and until Bungie releases their ranking system ranks that aren't mentioned in the Halo Universe should be deleted.

B)Halopedia is Not a place to store info about present day military ranks
 * How about we just have articles about the ranks that have been seen in the books and games.?--Ryanngreenday 22:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I agree 100% The following ranks that aren't mentioned in the Halo Universe should be deleted:


 * Lieutenant General
 * Lieutenant Colonel
 * Brigadier General
 * Captain(2)
 * First Sergeant

Ok makes sense, lets delete them.--&lt;font color=&quot;gold&quot;&gt;SPARTAN-117&lt;/font&gt;&lt;sub&gt; 08:39, 10 December 2006 (UTC)
