Bungie 3D files
For 7/7/07 Bungie released 3D files on CQB, EVA armors and the Brute Chopper. Here's the link. http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=lovebungieI

thought you might like to know. SPREAD THE WORD!!! --Captain Jacob Rathens 12:25, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

P.S. If anyone can email my those files after they download them, (my computor won't save them grr *smashes computor*) that would be great and appreciated
 * Yeah, I saw that. I'm not sure if there's any way we can upload them here, though it would be great. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 15:10, 7 July 2007 (UTC)

Korea
Do you think it would be better if we just called the article Korea, and mixed both North and South Korean information in there? CommanderTony 18:35, 7 July 2007 (UTC)
 * The thing is, we don't even know if Korea exists anymore. The UNSC world is not nationalized, which is why Mombasa is part of the East African Protectorate. The nation it is in today (Kenya) doesn't exist anymore in Halo. For all we know, Korea could now be part of the "East Asian Protectorate" or "Western Pacific Protectorate" or something like that. The word "Korea" has yet to be stated. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 18:38, 7 July 2007 (UTC)


 * That is true, but on a number of occasions, Songnam, and the Kyonggi Province have been stated, both by Bungie, and in the HGN. So I think the Korea article should stay, but have both North and South Korean information in it, as well as acknowledge the fact that it could be part of a Protectorate.

DUDE!!!
New Halopedias... German and Spanish, with French on the way. =D -- GPT ( talk )(eating) 00:43, 9 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Is there foreign-lanuage support for them? -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 00:44, 9 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Well, we just got them started today, but we're getting there... I know a bit of German (I can read quite a bit, actually), and I've messaged two native German speakers at Halobase (didn't want to post a new forum, in case they thought it was just spam). Phil.e. speaks fluent Spanish, and he's recruiting more people... and Forerunner and Chief frank 001, for starters, know French. That's what you meant, no? -- GPT ( talk )(eating) 00:51, 9 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Its going to take a lot of work to replecate Halopedia's articles in spanish, particularly without great prior demand for them. Good luck, I guess, I only know a moderate amount of spanish. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 01:07, 9 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Yeah... like most other language wikis, we probably won't be replicating them, but instead just doing as much as we can... thanks, we're gonna need it... I only know a moderate amount of German, but so far I'm doing it all by my lonesome, and it's all good, and I'm sure Phil.e. would appreciate any help he could get. =D Heh, also, check this out: LOL! -- GPT ( talk )(eating) 01:15, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Question on Deletion
How long can something be up for deletion until we decide "Delete it" or "Don't delete it?" Respect them Grunts, M  o  u  s  e  06:47, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Usually it lasts until there is an overwhelming consensus of opinion in one way or another, but articles where no decision can be made for a long time usually just get kept. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 22:52, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

More Mombasa stufflez
As you probably know by now, I'm kinda obsessed with Mombasa and cataloguing everything aboot it, so I was wondering, could you render the entirety of the Outskirts and Metropolis maps in a map editor or something? You know, just an orthographic perspective from above, like all those Google and Yahoo satellite maps... if you can do that, I can merge the two renders and the map from Terminal, and we could have us a really sexeh map of Mombasa. =D -- GPT ( talk )(eating) 07:55, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I haven't mastered the editor yet, but it appears that the campaign levels aren't accessable. They gave me the pieces to the level and the means to make multiplayer levels, but campaign stuff can't be touched. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 05:01, 16 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: New UoH
Dear ED,

Definately, sir! I hope that you've read the Company System, gracefully proposed by Ryanngreenday. :-) Anyways, Ryan and I are auto-assigning the UNSCOH commanders and higher officers to companies...I've auto-assigned Dragonclaws to "C", GPT to "A", Spartytime to "D"...I guess...that leaves "B" for you? ;-) Of course, if you don't like, just lemme know, and I'll screw the auto-assignments and get your a transfer, sah. :-)

A little mean
""May've" is not a contraction, nor a word. Please refrain from making up nonsense and putting it on our wiki. --ED"-That was a little mean, just the "Please refrain from making up nonsense and putting it on our wiki, part". If it were me I would be offended and never come here and tell my friends about how rude the site was and you guys couldn't gain anyone from that area. So this isn't a rant about it, but I am just saying please don't say that to people like that. In fact he/she may not of known that it wasn't a contraction, assume good faith. :) Cheers, H*bad (talk) 16:18, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
 * HBad, the simple fact is, this wiki is already full of speculation, 3rd grade grammar, and nonsense that is bringing it down. The the IP in question added one line of speculation with an atrocious spelling error to one article, which stayed on the article for almost 4 months. that is not the kind of clientele that will help Halopedia.


 * Still, I will use more discretion next time. -- ED ( talk )(gaming) 16:25, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

RE: You've got mail
Dear ED,

I see it as a problem...anyways, it's 12:11 for me (that is, just after midnight), and all contributions to Halopedia since the move are licensed under the GFDL documentation license, that is, they are public domain and can not be claimed by a single contributor or person. It's pretty complicated, and nocturnal unconsciousness enfolds me in its umbric insula. Au revoir! =]

Featured Article
Since regular users can't nominate articles for the FA anymore, can I request that Zealot be nominated?  Phil.e.  [Talk to me] 19:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

Hey
Now I know I am quite known for attempting to change article names and merging articles about practically the same weapon, but I think this one stands out in that there seems to be no intelligent opposition.

Could you please change the article "M90 Assault Shotgun" to "M90 Shotgun"? I have google searched everywhere and this is the only reputable site to ever call it that, no book, bungie site, manual, or gameplay has ever described it as an "Assault Shotgun" to my knowledge.

No one has replied in the talk page with opposition, though Spartan 781 tried to delete the discussion tag. I just think that it would be very user friendly and give Halopedia a better reputation if articles like this did not have obviously fannon names.

Of course if you know something I dont I am definitely open to it ^_^ --Justin Time 21:07, 3 August 2007 (UTC)
