Hiya
Hey Ed,

Haven't spoken to you in a while, so I thought I'd pop by and say hi. :)

How's college going?

 * Ahh, it is completely outstanding in every way possible, Manticore. I don't know how I lived life before now. But I just got home for christmas break, so I'll be around a lot more the next few weeks probably...college has diminished my activity on Halopedia lately...

What about you? how are things? -- E D File:ArmyROTC.gif|15  06:41, 23 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Haha, I know what you mean. School is so lame compared to uni. Things have been really good lately. I've finished uni for the year, so I've been really active lately around Wikia, probably too active. :P


 * I've replied to you on my talk page. :) -- Manticore  File:Fleet Admiral.jpg|20px|Manticore is a Halopedia administrator.]] Talk 23:19, 24 November 2007 (UTC)

IP Addresses

I was wondering if you or any of the other Admins have thought this over yet. The previous message with most of the details is titled "Heys I Gots Ideas!" if you have not yet read it. Please tell me what you think at your earliest convienence. BTW sorry to be a pest, but I just am trying to find out as the community is more focused on other forum topics than this.

1st Marine Battalion
Hello ED,

Why did you redirect the 1st Marine Battalion page to the M-EDF 9/21/1' page?

It's a perfectly alright article in my opinion. I mean yeah, all we have on it is a small small mention, but thats enough.

Have a good day!

Rawr, File:CommanderTony Logo.PNG|25 Halopedia:UNSC of Halopedia| General]]  Tony  Talk 11/29/2007
 * I was thinking about that just now actually. M-EDF 9/21/1 and the 1st Battalion are two names for the same unit, so I figured one should redirect to the other, and since M-EDF 9/21/1 was specifically names while "1st Marine Battalion" wasn't, I figured it would be a better idea. -- E D File:ArmyROTC.gif|15  01:30, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Re: Joshua-029
I'm not sure where or even if I remember reading that somewhere. I think I just put that there for speculation, or maybe I just assumed the majority of the Spartan-II's came from Eridanus II. Now that you mention it, I just finished reading Halo:FoR and FS and don't recall seeing any mention of Eridanus II. I'll continue checking, but in the mean time, you or I will fix that infobox.

Dear sir,

I actually would, except I'm perpetually lazy, and it is an extremely tedious process. I will resort to saying "I'll get around to it sometime" -- perhaps over this weekend? How're finals looking? How's studying been? :P

Re: IRC functions
Hey ED,

This page has some information on commands, but the basic ones you need are:


 * /msg ChanServ op #halopedia - Ops you
 * /kick blah - kicks "blah" (replace with the nick you want to kick)

For banning, use:

/ban nick!user@host

So, if you want to ban "Manticore", you'd type /mode #halopedia +b Manticore!*@*

If you wanted to ban a particular IP address or cloak, you'd use /ban *!*@wikia/Manticore (wikia/Manticore is my cloak).

If you're banning someone who is using the irc.wikia.com gateway, type /ban *!*12345678@gateway/*

Where 12345678 is the alphanumeric string that is the users hex IP address.

If you've got any questions or need to know more, you can leave me a message or email. :)

How did you get this picture: onto Halopedia, becuase when ever I try to save that type of image from my service record it wont work it just says set as background. What's your secret to making it a jpg image?

Justin Time's images
As the uploader, his name is on the file history. As I understood, we don't allow people to put their names on any mainspace things--articles, images, templates, whatever, if it's not a talk page, you don't credit yourself. If you want to change that, please email the Administration so we can discuss it. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 22:59, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Its part of the legal nonsense we have to fulfill. Though he doesn't use a disclaimer template, as the photographer of the work, he does have to officially release it to the public, and from what I understand, the upload log doesn't count. And so, about 95% of our images are currently copyright violations because they neither aknowledge Bungie for creating the work nor the creators of any images. -- E D File:ArmyROTC.gif|15  23:33, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
 * Good, lord, you're right! His pages should still have copyright templates on them, though. -- E D File:ArmyROTC.gif|15  18:28, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Ok
Sure, but I might change that soon to something better. Until then though, go ahead, it's not like I am shy or anything. WRAITH 19:35, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
 * OK. You can just reupload another image under the same name, and save yourself the hassle of having to change the images and stuff. -- E D File:ArmyROTC.gif|15  19:36, 20 December 2007 (UTC)

Deleting images
I dunno if you're just deleting all images or what... but if you are, could you make sure not to delete any that look like they've got at least a fair chance of being used in the future? Kthx. =D -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 23:44, 23 December 2007 (UTC)


 * I'm just going through the unused image and removing the ones that arent being used...most of them are duplicates, user images, or just low quality. And sorry about messing up the admin skin, I keep changing that without meaning to. -- E D File:ArmyROTC.gif|15  23:45, 23 December 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah, most are... but if you see any that look good, keep 'em around, will yeh? Categorize 'em too if you've got the time, I'm gonna start looking for good images to use sometime. I think. -- NOTASTAFF  GPT ( talk )( eating ) 23:53, 23 December 2007 (UTC)

Fan Art Committee
Dear ED,

Was just bring to your attention the Fan Art Committee (FAC). I was speaking to users @ the IRC, and I was critiquing a particular article when I noticed the main image was fan art. I asked why they'd placed it there and the response was it was approved by the FAC.

Sir, with respect -- I think no fan material in any form should be permitted on Halopedia. Halopedia is a place for canonical material, not for fan material. I ask if the FAC may be disbanded and fan art be immediately removed.

 * Man, I can say with all honesty that I wholeheartedly agree with you- I want 0 non-canon images on Halopedia. But as it is a committee, I often get outvoted on these issues.
