 * Gah! I kept trying to figure out what that "something cool" was! Now, I should recall a memory... Tuckerscreator (stalk ) 20:05, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

I consider my service period to be from August 3, 2007 to September 10, 2009. Still, it was fun while it lasted.

Not that I have ever been an active member on the site, but congrats on 7 years of Halopedia.--DavidShapiro 20:16, 3 November 2011 (EDT)


 * To think; seven years already. I've only been around for three of those, and here was me thinking that I had been here a while. Let us commemorate that our wonderful encyclopedia has stood the test of time and remained a ever-present source of information for Halo fans new and old.
 * There have been some ups and downs, and we've lost many an editor over the years, particularly during these dark times after our schism from Wikia. But, if you have remained, if you have held on through the storm, held dear the spirit of this wiki, and remain here editing to this day, then you can stand tall and say truly, "I am a Halopedian!"

I've been here only ten months, but I have gotten to know some pretty cool people. Happy Anniversary Halopedia!-- Lt. Commander  光环的家伙1234   Talk  ( Contribs ) ( Edits ) 21:03, 3 November 2011 (EDT)


 * I can't remember when I "officially" joined and started working on Halopedia (but if someone could look at the logs for me would be great), but I must say I am exceedingly proud to be a Halopedian. I've been a die-hard fan and scholar of almost all things science fiction, and more specifically, Halo, ever since I got into it with my church youth group (with a little help from my uncle, who gave me a copy of Halo CE on CD for Mac). FYI, I think the same day I started working on Halopedia is the same day I simultaneously started working on the Halo Nation wikia (they kept changing the backgrounds of the original Halo works I did, which pissed me off). In any case, Happy Seventh Anniversary to everyone here! --Xamikaze330 21:04, 3 November 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
 * According to | this, you joined the site on March 20th.-- Lt. Commander  光环的家伙1234   Talk  ( Contribs ) ( Edits ) 21:10, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

I remember whiling away dull study hours here, doing something productive with my time rather than just twiddling my thumbs. I still do. I've learned more through my interest in Halo (philosophy, science, human nature) than I ever did in Secondary School, and I really think I'd be a different person if I'd never found it. You guys were there to talk to, to bounce ideas off, to inspire, and to provide outlet for a passion for the game. We've had our low points, and they have been low - but when we reach our highs, we soar. I don't remember when I first came here, because I was reading articles here long before I officially created an account, but I know that I'll still be here long after the last Halo game is sitting on my shelf.

Anyone want to try to find the first ever edit made by anyone on Halopedia?-- Lt. Commander  光环的家伙1234   Talk  ( Contribs ) ( Edits ) 21:33, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

I have been on Halopedia since 2007, but actually became a member in late 2009... oh my god has it really been almost two years? My favorite memory? Well gosh, that's gotta be the time when Reach came out... which was only a year ago. Wow, time does fly. I bet you anything the first edit on Halopedia was made by Steve. The first one not made by Steve was likely vandalism. :D pestilence   Phil,  pestilence!  21:37, 3 November 2011 (EDT)


 * @Halofan1234 Found it! :D The first edit ever made to Halopedia... I think... Ιι   Ηη   Ππ  22:11, 3 November 2011 (EDT)

 * Oh, I guess it was technically started on November 3rd. Whoops. --Dragonc laws (talk ) 01:25, 4 November 2011 (EDT)


 * My first edit was affected by a glitch. O.o 2 years, 2 months and 16 days in Halopedia, from a stupid gamer to a somewhat contributive editor. Possibly the most memorable in this time was that edit war with -Ascension- on the Flood (and, to be honest, to this very day I still think that trivia is noteworthy). CMoA in rollback request page. On Halopedia, I've learned new words, ideas, subjects, technics, and so many other things. So, thank you and Happy 7th Anniversary! :D — S331 Bubbleshieldhud.svg(Tank beats Everything!) 01:03, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

*claps* I'm not as active as I used to be, but I still love Halopedia. Specops306: I love how you would post thoughtful comments on my blog articles. I've been thinking about writing the article on Huragok you suggested but I'm still not quite sure what to say. I'm also glad that I got to meet RR through Halopedia, as we've had some great discussions. The CD machinima project was great even though we never made it past two scenes and never put out an episode. I love Halopedia! --Dragonc laws (talk ) 01:33, 4 November 2011 (EDT)


 * Speaking of which, my favourite memories were reading the blogs people would post, on subjects ranging from canonical speculation, technical specifications, community discussion, reviews of novels and comics, and analyses of gender issues: the latter especially. There are some brilliant minds here, and I hope they go on to great things! --  Specops306   Autocrat     Qur'a 'Morhek   05:52, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Halopedia's come a long way. Even during my comparatively brief stay here, it's been amazing to see how this wiki has grown and matured. Basically all of the changes that have been made have been for the better, from changing our titling standards to migrating from the clutches of Wikia. It's been great to be a part of that, especially knowing of the increasing role and influence this wiki has as a repository of Halo information to both fans and franchise developers alike. The responsibility that comes with this should serve as encouragement for us to make sure our content stays as reliable and accurate as possible. --Jugus (Talk  | Contribs ) 07:09, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Celebration from the german Halopedia! --93.218.222.92 15:04, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Joined Halopedia May of 2008, seen a lot of good editors come and go, so many changes, such as the usergroups gettin disbanded. The Halopedia parodies were a favorite of mine, tried one out myself. By the way, I'm still emotionally scarred from the first time I went on #halopedia. Col.  Snipes  4  50  15:41, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

It is abundant that Halopedia has quite a history and has brought many happy memories to many individuals. I can't say that I am one of the most active or one of the most talented Halopedians. But I am pleased to say that every constructive addition to the wiki was a pleasure to make, I hope to make many more and I wish to see the project thrive.-- Brute Honour Guard  ( "Talk" ) 16:56, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Just a bit late to the party, but i'd like to thank everyone on here and the hundreds of contributors i've had the enjoyment of editing alongside since I came here. Special thanks goes to the Administrators and seasoned veterans who keep this wiki going on a day-by-day basis! Oh, and I couldn't stand to not thank the brilliant minds at Bungie Studios, 343 Industries, Ensemble Studios, Certain Affinity, and anyone who's had the slightest impact on the franchise. Cheers to you and I hope to see you all next year! Oh, and here's a couple presents I got for you all (courtesy of 343i's community manager, bsangel).

YES!!! Some people were complaining about recognition earlier so this makes me very happy inside. As do the little gifts up there. It shows they care. And that's a really really good thing. :D pestilence   Phil,  pestilence!  22:04, 4 November 2011 (EDT)

Congrats, Halopedia. Been a while since I was here. New front page looks pretty slick, and the articles are accurate and well-written as always. - Cobb (68.48.253.48 00:09, 5 November 2011 (EDT))

Go us! KeeperoftheFlame 05:26, 5 November 2011 (EDT)

Congrats Halopedia! I've been here for 2 years (2 years, 3 months and 9 days..), but only started really editing a few months ago, so there isn't much I can say here.. But I have spent many hours poring over well written articles and struggling to find at least one thing wrong with them! And it fills me with immense pride to be part of this community, and I hope halopedia continues to be the best source of halo information for the next 7 years! By the way, I'm not taking one of those codes, I certainly don't deserve one. . Thanks guys, for making halopedia the definitive source of Halo information it is today.

7 Years of kickin' ass and taking names! PuRe WoZZy 11:30 5 November 2011 (2011)

I too wish to give all my thanks to everyone whom I've worked beside during my stint here. It's not over yet, and I can only imagine that this wiki will continue to be a success for years to come, and will remain a notable memory for many of this community. It's definitely been a long, never ending road. Hard to believe that I've only been with it for just over 3 years, while thinking that the wiki has existed twice as long as that. Seeing our activity shows that we're still kicking and that always makes me feel proud that it's something I've helped work towards. -  Nìcmávr  ( Tálk  ) 08:28, 5 November 2011 (EDT)
