 * Thanks for the tip! :) I'll definitely keep that in mind. :) Xamikaze330

Wouldn't you?...
Wouldn't you rather edit on a nicer Stargate Wiki where they would appreciate your work? 150.203.222.57 04:10, 18 August 2011 (EDT)
 * I most certainly would be on that, but as it so happens, must of my work has already been done on stargate.wikia.com, and even then, this Stargate Wiki you posted, while it is much nicer, it is not like Halopedia--I don't know how to begin uploading new images to this, not to mention some of the pages here are lacking information. But, when I feel I should help this one out, then maybe I will. Xamikaze330 12:30, 18 August 2011 (EDT)Xamikaze330
 * Wouldn't you want to be part of this, its pretty obvious that my wiki is going to eclipse the one on wikia soon enough. The bureaucrat on the wikia one doesn't care in the slightest about your efforts to help out and is quite happy to ignore everyone. 150.203.222.57 01:21, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
 * And so I'm beginning to notice that. I am strongly considering becoming a part of the better Stargate Wiki (stargate-wiki.org). Though some users say my images are a welcome addition, others seem to not really appreciate what I'm doing, all the great images I've been contributing. Things are going to have to change soon. And yes, you are right--Halopedia (halopedian.com) has already easily eclipsed Halo Nation wiki, though I still put some effort into Halo Nation, simply because others have submitted images that are clearly done by myself, but has been changed--I do not like that! Still, the better Stargate Wiki needs the addition of more information, and not just nicer images like mine. --Xamikaze330

(only read the first post but,) What? This sounds like some kind of "employee stealing" attempt. No need to convince backstabbing, it's just a game, lol. Written with two hours of sleep. And don't forget: Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  18:58, 4 October 2011 (EDT)

When uploading images...
... make sure to add a  tag on the old files. We wouldn't want old and unused files flocking the server and slowing the wiki's performance. :) — subtank  15:16, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Okay. Sorry, I forgot to do that. I'll try to remember next time. Btw, what was wrong with the old file I submitted of H3-M808B-ScorpionMBT-Thumb800x494.png? Aside from the fact that I did upload a bigger image sized 1024x633, was it just because the file name was too long? --Xamikaze330
 * Well, partly yes on the filename being too long. Also the fact that the filename is misleading (as you stated, it's no longer 800px). I've already reuploaded the file as File:H3 Scorpion.png. — subtank  15:30, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Yes, I can see that. Thanks for letting me know. Next time could you please do the courtesy of attaching the new uploaded image to the articles it is supposed to be attached to, like the old ones? That would be much appreciated. --Xamikaze330
 * That is what I always do.— subtank  22:48, 26 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Don't take this the wrong way, but while do believe you normally do, I might point out that this time you forgot to do so. It's a common enough mistake, we all do it. But for now don't worry about it this time. I took care of it. So, Live long and prosper \V/. --Xamikaze330
 * Are you referring to the addition you made on M808B article? If so, that edit is wrong as the H3 Scorpion is the M808 and not the M808B. Hence why I didn't bother fixing that image... and also the fact that the article is getting a major reconstruction sometime today/tomorrow. :P — subtank  00:52, 27 August 2011 (EDT)
 * Oh. My bad. Good to hear though. But, thing is, they all technically look the same, well almost, I guess. Very small changes overall, one would be a little hard-pressed to really be able to tell them apart at a glance. But, I will not contest this. If there is a difference between the two, then so be it. FYI, fun fact: favorite real-world tank is the M1A2 Abrams Main Battle Tank . --Xamikaze330

Unrelated to Halo: Alternative Stargate Wiki
Did you sign up for an account on my stargate wiki? I only ask because the vandals have impersonated poeple before. 150.203.223.123 20:20, 29 September 2011 (EDT)

Yes, yes, I most certainly did. On my honor as a Christian, I am not a vandal. No one has been able to hack any of my accounts before, and with God on my side, that never will happen. --Xamikaze330

I couldn't help but notice that your still editing on Stargate Wikia? Your not gonna edit/upload the same things on both wikis are you? I intend my wiki to be a better source and if they have the same stuff, then thats not good. 150.203.223.123 21:03, 29 September 2011 (EDT)

Well, truth be told, I have been editing both on Halopedia and on Halo Nation, so I can't really make any promises. But, as a consolation, large quantities of data often is the key, not just the images. (Which means I may have to start buying Stargate reference books. FYI, I may also have to start borrowing and modifying data & images from the Stargate Wikia to get things started, and not forgetting GateWorld data.)That's my theory on how Halopedia (halopedian.com) become more popular than Halo Nation, also due in part to other users not being serious enough on Halo Nation, which is why Halopedia was created, to weed out the people who aren't serious, and to keep those who are. To me, stargate.wikia.com is like that. Some people just aren't serious enough about all this Stargate stuff. l Besides, Halo is at the top of my top ten favorites right now, and I don't expect that to change. In other words, I expect to be working on Halopedia more often than either Stargate Wikis. And keep in mind I may want to become an administrator at some point, just to keep things in line, and other such things like that. --Xamikaze330

What do you need help with?
Yo, I'm about to go on Halo for a screenshot extravaganza. So I was wondering if you could give me a list of EVERYTHING you need, so I can get that all done. Thanks! Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  01:41, 16 October 2011 (EDT)!!

Oh, hey thanks for the offer! I already have User:FatalSnipe117 working on getting me bunch of screenshots for me to edit, or simply to be submitted to  Halopedia, but it is nice to have more people helping out. Here's the list:


 * UNSC Fusion Core (profile view from Halo 3 and Halo: Reach)
 * Covenant Type-51 Carbine Scope screenshot
 * Type-31 Needle Rifle Scope screenshot
 * S-2 Traxus Cargo Transporter (from Halo 3 and Halo: Reach)
 * Plasma Repeater (profile view) (if possible)
 * M6 Spartan Laser screenshot (profile view from Halo 3, can't seem to find anything with the right lighting)
 * Sentinel Aggressor & Constructor (Halo 3)
 * (Please check all other miscellaneous weapons and vehicles pages, because I can't remember them all off the top of my head.)

These, I think, are all the most important screenshots I want to see uploaded to Halopedia and/or elsewhere, where I can go save them to edit later when I have the time to work on them. So hopefully this is relatively helpful, and to further ease any screenshot-taking guy's concerns, I will try to update this little list every time I remember something. Thanks, to all Halopedians! --Xamikaze330

Okay. But with the Spartan Laser, you said you couldn't find any with the correct lighting. Mind telling me what lighting you're looking for, exactly? Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  14:02, 16 October 2011 (EDT)!

Already done downloading. Standing by to await new screenshots. --'Xamikaze330

Something not too dark and not too much light, just about right in between. Something with the same kind of lighting as in the Halo Encyclopedia, or very similar. Do you have the Halo Encyclopedia? I do, but unfortunately I do not have a good enough printer with a big high-quality, dare I say, high-definition scanner to do the job just right, without any of that bothersome blurring that comes from scanning, something I'm still looking around for. A screenshot with something along those lines would be great, perhaps even better than. Does that help a little? (Don't forget to answer the other question too!) --Xamikaze330

1. ,

3. Please notify as soon as you are done copying these files. As I don't have Bungie Pro and I want to use my other slots of my File Share for other things. Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  17:46, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

Tell me when you're done with these. Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  21:21, 16 October 2011 (EDT)!

Done. Standing by. --Xamikaze330

badabing Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  22:37, 16 October 2011 (EDT)!

Edit: Above link has been updated. Look again. Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  23:05, 16 October 2011 (EDT)

Damnit! I forgot the Type-51 scope, and I've already turned off my Xbox for the night. Well, I'll get it tomorrow. Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  23:12, 16 October 2011 (EDT)!

Done. Standing by, waiting until tomorrow. FYI, maybe try to get a couple other screenshots of M6 Spartan Laser, but with a better background, like not snowy? More like desert sand color almost, something like that. What is that funny glow-blur, that St. Elmo's Fire-type phenomena thingy? --Xamikaze330

? Where? Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  01:01, 17 October 2011 (EDT)!

How are you taking these screenshots? In Campaign or in Multiplayer? Whichever way make sure it's something like on the sands of Sandtrap, or maybe somewhere sandy and sunny in Voi, Kenya, or on the Ark maybe, or something. Surely this cannot be too much to understand (no offense), right? But if you are unable to, then these will have to do, just need to change a few things in Photoshop, hopefully with little or no problems. --Xamikaze330
