Ranks
Hey ed do you think all the ranks are right ?And if you do can you put a stop to the deletion crap and stuff?--Ryanngreenday 21:29, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * The problem is, we have no difinitive rank scheme. The ranks that have been mentioned so far are all american ranks, but we don't know for sure if they are the only ranks. We've never seen a specific, citeable chart depicting all the ranks. For all we know, there could be a "third lieutenant" or a "technical sergeant" in the Marine ranks. We just don't know for sure. That's why the ranks will probably have controversy attatched to them until Bungie comes out and says for sure that the rank system is the same as today's american system. -ED 23:37, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Whats Frankie's email? I must email him!--JohnSpartan117 23:38, 24 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I'm pretty sure all letters for stuff like this goes to the Bungie.net webmaster(webmaster@bungie.com) but there's no gurentee he will answer it. Thay usually just post emails in the weekly update to make fun of people and dodge questions. -ED 23:53, 24 October 2006 (UTC)

Can we make a project page to make a letter?--JohnSpartan117 01:12, 25 October 2006 (UTC)

Few Questions.
Are you back from your vacation? Also if you dont even have an Xbox or play Halo....why are you so dedicated to Halopedia?--User:JohnSpartan117 01:54, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Heh, yeah I'm back, though not in the same 50-edit a day capacity as I was; I think I did a pretty good job at transcribing every detail from the books to the wiki, so I cant really be as active as I was since theres not as much for me to do.


 * I'd have to say I'm still dedicated to Halopedia just because the story of halo is amazing. I have/play Halo PC and go to plenty of Halo parties, but never got around to getting an Xbox. I'm really thinking of getting a 360 when Halo 3 and/or Halo wars come out though, and I'll probably get Halo 2 Vista (I borrowed my friend's xbox and beat Halo 2). So, I still play the games a lot, and I like the storyline. -ED 19:52, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Makes sense. Would you like to play Warcraft with me?--User:JohnSpartan117 05:19, 19 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Sure. Do you have a battle.net account? -ED 00:05, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

Yeah, its JohnSpartan-117--User:JohnSpartan117 02:29, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I think I found you. Your in clan "Rude"? Ill add you to my friends list and message you if I ever see you online, but I'll admit, I mostly play Ladder games, and I've never played DotA. -ED 19:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * I think you got the wrong guy, Im not in a clan. Damn, you dont play Dota....well what can you play? Cause DOTa is my main game.--User:JohnSpartan117 12:33, 25 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, I never got into the DotA craze early on, and now i geet booted wherever I go to download it. I spend most of my time doing actual games...Level 27 Random Team. I do a lot of 3v3 games nowadays, its really the most fun way to play. -ED 02:07, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

Email
Ed can you turn on your email please! -- Esemono 15:10, 21 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Done. -ED 22:49, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Also
Your tabs at the top of your page seem to be out of wack. I tried to find what it was and it appears that its RR template as when I removed it everything went back to normal. However the weird thing is it only appears to effect your page. Anyway maybe its just on Firefox my browser. -- Esemono 15:29, 21 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Yeah I noticed that too. I guess the best thing to do is just no nowiki it. Its on my userpage anyway. -ED 22:49, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Didn't Esemono fix that?! Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant[ oracle ][[Image:H3 Monitor.PNG|30px]] 03:14, 22 December 2006 (UTC)


 * He found the way to fix it, but for some reason, my page was still acting up with it there, so I just nowikied it. -ED 19:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Legendary
Wikias are horrid places. There are always vandals, power-abusive admins (on other sites, not this), idiots who think that know everything and make amends to articles w/o actually considering references, so on and so forth. I have found no such characteristics in you, Ed. Every Halo: Ghosts of Onyx article has already been conceived by you. Hell, most articles of this Wikia are your children, offspring so numerous that they seed the stars.

You are the one I hold in highest esteem. None sing praises of you, and I feel that your desolation can not end, as I continue to uncover your unceasing work.

Therefore, I proclaim you Legendary: higher than all users. As the chronometer looms closer, drawn to the New Year, I believe it is time to herald the greatest Halopedian that has ever stood: a brazen, fearless one who has labored for so long in such darkness, never faltering, never heralding your work.

I am honored to give you the following accolade:

With utmost sincerity and respect,

49 Proximal Secant[ oracle ] 18:44, 22 December 2006 (UTC) p.s. - happy holidays!! p.s.s. - you may add this to your userpage


 * I appreciate that very much. Thank you, and happy holidays, RR. -ED 19:30, 22 December 2006 (UTC)

Darned Vandal
I was wondering...I still have no idea who is an admin here and who isn't, but you seem to be one, so I figured I'd point it out to you. User:71.199.231.6 has blanked RR's user page twice today, as well as his talk page once. Figured you'd like to know.--Rot 00:58, 24 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Esemono warned him. I he does anything else, He'll get blocked. -ED 03:07, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

your userpage
"think our community is perfect as it is right now. We have a hundred or so active users, most of whom visit Halopedia from time to time, and so we do not suffer the problems of larger wikis, such as Memory-Alpha and Wikipedia. There are few edit wars, vandalism is relatively rare, and Halopedia, I think, embodies what the wiki is supposed to be: constructive, interesting, and enjoyable."

- ED

I think the contrary.

Anyways, happy holidays!

Cheers,

49 Proximal Secant[ oracle ] 21:24, 24 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Yes, how quickly times change. Oh well. Happy Holidays, everyone! -ED 01:40, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

Halo Fanstuff
I have proposed a wiki called the Halo Fanstuff. Now if they accept it, I propose that we work together. You guys would be the Knowledge base of the Halo Wiki and we would be the Fanstuff.--H*bad 17:08, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * I already submitted a proposal to Wikia administration approximately a week ago. They should get back within a week of today, Tuesday. Cheers, 49 Proximal Secant[ oracle ]</tt>[[Image:H3 Monitor.PNG|25px]] 18:41, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Well I created a scratchpad of it. Halo fanstuff. Hey maybe you and I could work together and put together the wiki.--H*bad 18:46, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * What would be the subject matter of the wiki? -ED 19:59, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It is people making Fanstuff/Fanon about the Halo Universe. Located here.--H*bad 05:54, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * How would you intigrate the fanon together? or would you just make a giant fanon project similar to Halopedia:Halo Wars? Is seems to me that a forum is better format for fanfiction, not a wiki. -ED 06:15, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It doesn't have to be together. It is separate stories that you want to make up. For fun. A forum isn't good enough because of many different reasons, 1, it's not popular on Forums, because it's boring there. 2, it's easier to make a fan fiction on a wiki than just some forum, trust me I would know.--H*bad 04:25, 16 January 2007 (UTC)

You'll be pleased to know that someone is teading upon your intellectual genius! That's not everyone besides R-R! <hehe...gulps>

Thanks.

Spec Ops Commander?
Ed, to tell you the truth, I was kind of skeptical that SOC was an Elite rank, but from experience from Wookieepedia, until two things, ranks or ships, have been explicitly confirmed to be equal, i.e. SOC and Ultra in our case, two seperate pages are constructed.

Thanks.

Cheers,

RelentlessRecusant 17:02, 13 January 2007 (UTC)


 * It has never been implied in any way that they are different. The only "difference" that was given between them was that Half-Jaw's armor looked "a little lighter". That could be just as easily explained by the ambient lighting of the images, or just because we don't have any actualy game screenshots of a regular Ultra to compare to, so the writer compared Half-Jaw to the images on the Ultra page. It could also be that, since they designed the Half-Jaw model from the ground up, they made a mistake, or that is just how the game renders the model. There are a million reasons why the armor "looking" lighter could have been unintentional/made-up, and only one far fetched reason why it could. Making two seperate articles for this nonsense is reading way to far between the lines and making things up. Ultras are seen everywhere, commanding all kinds of forces, including the SpecOps. -ED 23:18, 13 January 2007 (UTC)

RE:Template:Elite Ranks
it's a rather radical change, but I can't disagree. I think both look kinda stylish, so it's your call, bossman, Ed, Mr. Administrator, sir, excellency, Mr. Administrator of Halopedia, one whose userpage was ripped off by a user who's known as RR, someone that's made a helluva number of pages, or WHATEVER TITLE YOU WANT! =D ;D

Cheers,

RelentlessRecusant 00:33, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

fanart
Our little disagreement in the fanart topic was getting a little out of hand, so I'm just going to ask you here: What exactly constitutes that an image be classified as fanart? What exactly constitutes that an image classified as fanart be voted upon as to whether it is kept or deleted? Because as far as anyone else can tell, the Seraph picture is only fanart in that the model was taken out of the game and rendered from a good angle with different lighting and a background. Dojorkan actually said that it's probably classified as fanart because it wasn't an official picture released by Bungie. If this is the case, then every single unofficial game screenshot should be voted upon as well before it can be used. Even if you allow multiplayer screenshots, there are other modded screenshots that have been left untouched by the fanart committee, and it just gets confusing. If you can answer those questions, it would be greatly appreciated, and putting them on the fanart page would also be most helpful.  guesty - persony - thingy  02:54, 17 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Oh. I wasn't really mad or anything I was just saying...Anyways, Fan Art is usually considered to be anything that was created outside of Bungie resources. All screenshots, most mods using material on the Halo disk, and all images from the Canon sources are not fanart, but any drawings, graphics, animations, or other things are considered fanart because they were completely created by fans. The Seraph Image is considered fanart because, though the seraph shown is based on the one that appears in the game, it isn't. It was likely designed and rendered entirely by a fan and not made from modding. It's in a gray area, so the fanart comittee gets to decide it.


 * Of course, you'rte talking to me, probably the hard-liner of the comittee. I don't think any non-screenshots are needed on Halopedia, and usually vote that way. For clarification, though, I should create an Image Policy. -ED 20:03, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

I had an idea
I’ve had an amazing idea; As certain Users have more knowledge in different areas of the Halo Universe why not chose a main user to keep an eye on, watch over those certain articles e.g. the star ship articles Relentless worked hard on, or all the weapon articles. They would be like Semi Admins with no privileges it would just be their job to make sure that there was no Fan Fiction or over vandalism in their articles and start up votes for articles deletion or merging; Users could go to them to refure data and so on. They could be chosen by the Admins or elected by the users meaning starting up campaigns which would be very amusing. And given Titles to fit their job e.g. Imperial Admiral it was just a thought. --Climax Viod 15:46, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Users do a lot to put themselves in charge of specific areas. I wouldn;t think that to be necessary. -ED 20:04, 17 January 2007 (UTC)

And do you know of any ways to become an admin on this Wiki, as I would definately contribute to vandal-fighting (like now), and would use any admin powers judiciously to further the combating of nonsense-spouting on this site?

I meant not to offend you, Ed.

I understand that Halopedia's not exactly any other Wikia, but implore you to look at Wikipedia and Halopedia. For all fictional battles (ie: in our case, Halo), it's the Battle of Whattevergoesinhere.

Just my thoughts.

He was using a proxy, and thus had a different IP address, which he can change just by using a different proxy; he just won't be able to log into his account for six months, but I doubt that's going to stop him--look at his first edit when he figured out what a proxy was; he wasn't logged in. But maybe he'll just get tired of trying to log in after a while, make another account, get that one banned as well, and eventually maybe he'll just stop. I know that usually you can get someone who prefers insulting people rather than websites that we aren't affiliated with to stop just by talking to them, but this guy's unusually persistent for some reason.

 * Yeah. It's very easy to undo anything a vandal can try. At least he isn't another Monkt. -ED 03:44, 11 February 2007 (UTC)

 * Then could you paste "ta['ca-nstab-forum'] = new Array('c','View the forum page');" at the "tooltips" section at the bottom of the Common.css page, and then upload the picture "http://starter.wikia.com/wiki/Image:Forum_new.gif" to Halopedia? Best regards, My Name is Helen (Talk) (Contribs) (Helen) [[Image:CortanaRR.jpg|15px]] 21:32, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Uploaded the image, added the stuff to the mediawiki page. I assume the lines need to be numbered, they don't seem to be changing anything. -ED 21:41, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Okay. Could you place:

/* */

At the top and...

/* */

at the bottom?

Cheers,

My Name is Helen (Talk) (Contribs) (Helen) 21:49, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Also, if: /* class for forum navigation templates (forumtop, shtop) */ .forumheader {  background: #eee; border: 1px solid #aaa; padding: 5px; }

Could also be added?

Thanks SO much! =D

Best regards,

 * I don't see it changing anything. -ED 21:53, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

Thankyou soooo much, but Esemono has it up for deletion we need to stop it I notified Dragonclaws that it's alomost finished and to help stop the deltion. Darth tader,Talk to the Tader,My work 22:08, 12 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Esemono's a reasonable guy. Talk it over with him. -ED 22:10, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

template?
I felt the one I made was in-theme with Halo, and can be used for other pages that are being edit protected...I think I'm gonna ask for all the temps in the to be not-editable by IPs.

Cheers,

My Name is Helen (Talk) (Contribs) (Helen) 22:07, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Semi-protection is different than complete protection. There can be two templates. -ED 22:43, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

Your New Awards
I just blatantly realized how much snazzing WORK it must've taken you to make those new awards!

You may attach this to your userpage.

Cheers,

My Name is Helen (Talk) (Contribs) (Helen) 15:22, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Heh, thanks. Have you ever given one of them out? -ED 15:24, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * No problem, man. =D And no, so far, I haven't given any out. I don't think I've even handed out a Halopedia Award. Or just maybe 1. I just stick to my custom awards...=D Best regards, My Name is Helen (Talk) (Contribs) (Helen) [[Image:CortanaRR.jpg|15px]] 15:27, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

MediaWiki sidebar?
Can you change the link to the external site to our internal Halopedia Forums?

Cheers,

My Name is Helen (Talk) (Contribs) (Helen) 15:29, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Actually, I don't think I can...Dragonclaws handles that stuff, I don't remember how to change it. -ED 15:33, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

MediaWiki:Sidebar
Here it is, if you'd like. =D

Cheers,

My Name is Helen (Talk) (Contribs) (Helen) 15:36, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * I'll put them both up there since Dragonclaws wanted to keep the gamerfocus forum up there. -ED 15:38, 14 February 2007 (UTC)

Global admin's request?
I looked around and didn't see where it was requested that the featured quote and picture were removed... would you mind giving me a linky, bitte?  guesty - persony - thingy  I too am an AI... my owner's name is Supreme Honcho. 23:41, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
 * See Talk:Main Page. Our wiki must have the ads on the side bar visible, that's the only way it stays free. The global admin noticed that the featured image was blocking the ads, which is a trademark infringement, so i removed the quote. The only reason it was doing this was the vote box on the front page, so after the game tonight, we can put it back up. -ED 00:21, 15 February 2007 (UTC)
 * Oh... Splarka asked you to do it... I forgot about him/her/it. I see... thanks.  guesty - persony - thingy  I too am an AI... my owner's name is Supreme Honcho. 00:25, 15 February 2007 (UTC)

Ship Emblem
Very nicely written, esp. with the beautiful gallery at the bottom.

However, a suggestion. It's not the UNSC In Amber Clad - it's the UNSC In Amber Clad. To automatically write that and to provide a link, I wrote the UNSC Ship template. It works like this...to provide a link to the IAC page, write:

And it looks like:.

Later, man.
