Talk:John-117

Update
Somebody should update the "Apparent treason" section. His name was cleared in the last episode of HunttheTruth.

Halo: Fractures
Why are we just assuming he is in Fractures?

We should wait.

Images
I've added a few appropriate images of John 117 in a few sections as its more encompassing to feature both Bungie and 343i images. TheEld felt that the images were too cluttered and "horrible!", so to compromise I organized them better so they wouldn't overflow out into the next section. Despite this compromise there is still no cooperation. Editorguy (talk) 15:10, 19 July 2018 (EDT)


 * They are not appropriate. I am trying to improve the quality of this page. One image is a piece of artwork from The Art of Building Worlds that in no way represents the scene where John is in a tent with Halsey and two technicians getting his Mark V for the first time. You have also shrunk images to be able to fit in more when one was sufficient for the low volume of words in the requisite paragraph. I appreciate your desire to contribute but I would urge you to focus more on adding to either this page or others instead of just trying to cram more and more images in where there is no room. Thank you. :) 15:21, 19 July 2018 (EDT)TheEld (talk)TheEld


 * Alright, I can see how much effort you've put into this page and that it matters a lot to you. I'll remove the images as they aren't critical to the article, though I do think it would be beneficial to include a balance of both 343i and Bungie depictions to give readers a broader depiction. Editorguy (talk) 15:26, 19 July 2018 (EDT)


 * Images should be selected for their fidelity, relevance, and lore friendliness. Whether they come from Bungie or 343 is irrelevant. Should the Battle of New Mombasa page include images from both Halo 2 and Halo 2 Anniversary? No, of course not. It should only have H2A images in the text because they are a lot better.TheEld (talk) 15:30, 19 July 2018 (EDT)TheEld


 * In the instance of the circa 2007 commercial depicting John versus the circa 2012 commercial depicting John. It could be argued that the circa 2007 one closer matches The Fall of Reach's original description of John "tousled brown hair, etc" this is a better example of fidelity, relevance, and lore friendliness. Editorguy (talk) 15:37, 19 July 2018 (EDT)


 * The image quality is crap, however. Someone ran it through some effects so you could actually see him in the darkness. Showing the beach, Eriadnus II, his mom, and him all together is much better.TheEld (talk) 15:40, 19 July 2018 (EDT)TheEld

"Ownership (lol)
This is for editorguy117. Hey man, no need to be like that, lol. I don't own anything. We need as much help as we can get from everyone around here. I just tried to point out that a penel showing his eye in Escalation was already on the page, making it unnecessary to repeat gratuitously. :)TheEld (talk) 22:39, 8 August 2018 (EDT)TheEld


 * Look, I'm really sorry for being harsh. Removing all the images I included without room for compromise didn't seem fair as we're both going off of subjective criteria. It just came across as controlling. I welcome discussion for compromise - Editorguy (talk) 19:56, 10 August 2018 (EDT)


 * Hmmm well at times of disagreement. The first place that you two should have gone is here. Disagreeing via edit summaries is not 100% helpful all the time. So for that I am going to close this in hopes that the next talk section can be used to discuss stuff fully and I can get involved after hearing both your sides fully. -CIA391 (talk) 15:31, 16 August 2018 (EDT)

Compromise
Johns adult face in the "Physical characteristics area should it be done? I personally am 50/50 on this as ultimately there is plenty images of it on the article but could look great in that area also I wont lie. So to make an informative choice I am hoping "TheEld" and "Editorguy" can weigh their sides in this.-CIA391 (talk) 15:31, 16 August 2018 (EDT)


 * I think it would be helpful to have a more encompassing for readers to have the adult depiction of John as well rather than only his child/teen self in The Fall of Reach. What are your thoughts TheEld? You've said it's unnecessary though that just seems really subjective, feel free to elaborate. Editorguy (talk) 08:13, 24 August 2018 (EDT)


 * The image you want to include just showing a his eye through his cracked faceplate is already included in the article elsewhere.TheEld (talk)TheEld


 * Perhaps it would be better suited in the Age and Appearance section. Though the other image that has the more vivid closeup that shows more of his face, wrinkles, and crows feet would be better. There were also several other images that I think would be helpful, but I dropped debate of them to compromise. Would 1 really be too much?Editorguy (talk) 08:22, 24 August 2018 (EDT)


 * No response :/ Editorguy (talk) 19:33, 9 November 2018 (EST)


 * The Eld, I added in John's ages in the captions to help readers differentiate his child, teen, and adult depictions. You discretely removed it all without an edit summary or discussion. Once again, you aren't even willing to compromise on anything, this is why I brought up the issue of ownership in the first place. I don't have the time, and edit warring is prohibited, so you're probably going to get away with this again too. You're forbidding any additions or changes to this page that you disagree with, based on subjective criteria. As a writer and an editor you're fantastic TheEld, but as a community member you've demonstrated really poor conduct. I don't think I'm going to keep editing this page as it's draining and time consuming to see you revert every contribution I make. Your conduct here is really not okay, nor is it fair to other editors (or me, if I'm being singled out) who wish to contribute as well. Editorguy (talk) 19:33, 9 November 2018 (EST)

Most of what you did was entirely redundant. A sentence would say: "John at 14 years old" and you would change it to "Young John at 14 years old." It is entirly unnecessary to add "young" in there. Additionally, you just made a point about John's age in almost every single image caption, regardless whether the caption had anything to do with that. Dates and ages are already painstakingly documented in the text. I am not forbidding anyone do anything. I am extremely grateful for any help anyone wants to give to make any page on Halopedia better. Someone else recently filled in the section about John's relationship with Lasky. That was great! By all means, please help out in any way you can to update and expand articles. Just try not to make pointless minor changes that don't really make sense or just make the passage or sentence more clunky. No hard feelings, man. I really am sorry you're taken this personally. I promise I haven't singled you out. If you look closely, there are indeed minor corrections you've made that I left and I do thank you for. Proofreading is sorely needed, seriously.TheEld (talk) 21:11, 9 November 2018 (EST)TheEld

Trailer canon?
Like most reveal trailers can we really say the events of the Halo Infinite E3 Trailer are canon? Hints of the game yes. But them actually happening I have yet to see proof of that outside assuming numbers equals a date, and assuming its Zeta Halo to which right now is still only hints and not confirmed. If proof of that isnt given (that isnt just the trailer and its making of video cause they only prove that the trailer is hints and not particularly canon) I plan to just remove the sections till proof comes along. Tbh I am more just disliking the assuming making it on a few pages and would rather have stuff that is clear cut.-CIA391 (talk) 22:35, 31 December 2018 (EST)
