Question
Where did you get the picture of the Halo script? Also, is there anywhere where I can find an unabridged copy of the script?--71.124.160.249 18:31, 13 Dec 2005 (EST)


 * I got the image from Rampancy.net, who says they have the script . I can't help you with the other question. --Dragonclaws 00:05, 14 Dec 2005 (EST)

My Entries
It's me, Spartan99. Did you delete my entries on the Ferret, Angry Pelican and Barracuda? If you did, why? If you didn't, can you help me find out who did? It's not on My Contributions anymore.


 * As I posted on your talk page, I found evidence the vehicles were fan-created and non-canon. After some looking for mention of the vehicles in the books, I decided to go ahead and delete them. If you can offer any Bungie source, I'll consider undeleting them. --Dragonclaws 02:20, 28 Dec 2005 (EST)

The Albatross
How do we know that the Albatross isn't really a crashed Forerunner dropship? Just wondering --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:52, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

P.S. Im Mr.Green


 * Having a Warthog in it suggests it was used by humans. Have any humans besides the Spartans been able to use Forerunner tech? Also I assume Bungie named it Albatross in an article due to the logo on the image. --Dragonclaws 20:15, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

Ah, okay I was just wondering see im too poor to afford Xbox Live and they kinda don't sell the map packs at Wal-mart --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 20:19, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

yes they do (MicahPhaorh)

Page for removal
Hi. There's a page which should be removed completely with its Talk page - Camping (computer gaming). The only leftover is the Talk page with redirect, which leads nowehere (another empty Talk page.) TIA Ryan 10:42, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)
 * ...and a page to add. There is a Halo Graphic Novel page, which should be added to the main page novel list (it's locked for obvious reason so I was unable to add it). Ryan 16:17, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Right. It's been done. --Dragonclaws 17:30, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)

The Halo Speculator
He is my brother (*shivers*) and it looks like he spammed across the board too I do that but only in the Sandbox --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 21:40, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)

Halo 3
There is a minor typo in Halo 3 topic. Correct name is "Xbox 360" and never "XBOX 360" (second sentence). TIA for correction. :) Ryan 20:07, 21 Mar 2006 (EST)

65.2.180.162
65.2.180.162 the guy who went around changing everything about the battles, he typed like a bot. I don't like it. I might have a proposal about these non-registered people and their changes. We don't know whose a bot or not.--SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 19:52, 22 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I think he may have been trying to use some code that the wiki doesn't support. He used terms like "Covenant Empire" so he does know something about Halo. In the past, bots have only posted ads and links to porn. I think AgentSeethroo is working on making one of those security graphics with letters and numbers only humans can recognize, for anonymous edits. --Dragonclaws 21:50, 22 Mar 2006 (EST)

Hmm..I didn't see that. Any idea on how one of those security things work? I mean, like how it is aquired. --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:46, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I don't know, he just said he'd look into applying it to the wiki. This is what I was talking about BTW, CAPTCHA. --Dragonclaws 18:56, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

Those things are fairly new then...besides the primitive types. I looked into one of the sites that they had. Man, thats some complicated stuff.--SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 22:19, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

Bad link to the Users Prefence Help page.
Its a bad link if you go to your prefernces you'll see a red link. Is there anythin we can do about this or is it the template? --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:58, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Yeah, that guide just never got made. It's pretty straight forward, though. I don't know what problems people would have with the options. --Dragonclaws 18:40, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

I know, some of it you just don't wanna screw around with casue it could mess you up alot. Like the integer thing. I tend not to screw around with code that much.--SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 22:20, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Well, I'm afraid I don't know anything about it myself. You could try talking to AgentSeethroo. --Dragonclaws 23:31, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

Plasma Canon/Plasma canon
There are two pages with different information on about the plasma canon, one with a capital 'c' and one without. I'm not sure how to join them together (I'm New) so I thought I'd tell you as you seem to have ben here forever.--4runner 15:00, 30 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Yeah, thanks. I totally missed that. --Dragonclaws 16:47, 30 Mar 2006 (EST)

List of vandalizers
You probably have seen, but there has been a streak of vandalism lately and these are the ones I noticed (And fixed):


 * 81.203.100.127
 * 67.189.171.46
 * 24.62.159.9

It may or may not help but I thought you should know.--4runner 15:08, 3 Apr 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, thanks. I've banned them. --Dragonclaws 15:25, 3 Apr 2006 (EDT)


 * Revert the recent edits to the arbiter page and block the ip who edited it last


 * I think I got 'em all. Man, people can be rude. --Dragonclaws 16:36, 3 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Thx, it took me forever to copy and paste everything back into the articles. you're lucky, all you have to do is press the revert button


 * You can go into the history and click on a listed time to enter a version of what the page looked like at that edit. If you click edit, you'll see a warning about editing an old version. If you click save, the page will be reverted to that version. --Dragonclaws 16:59, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

Oops...
Didn't know that Sophia Bossedon page was legit. Sorry. I haven't browsed ilovebees.com all that much, didn't know she was a character.


 * EDIT* Now I realize that the reason I said that was the vandal... if he had said who the character was to begin with... --Energy sword 19:45, 6 Apr 2006 (EDT)


 * What happened was: when I deleted the vandalized page, your comment stayed on the talk page. Then I later created a real article, but the comment was still there. As it didn't apply anymore, I deleted the talk page to avoid confusion. --Dragonclaws 20:45, 6 Apr 2006 (EDT)

Ahh... ok. :)--Energy sword 10:53, 7 Apr 2006 (EDT)

User spam
The guy you blocked will come back as User:Bbbbbb and User:Bbbbbbce AND User:Ffff. Probly even User:Rrrrrr. The thing 10:07, 6 May 2006 (EDT)
 * Block User:User:82.208.174.74 that is the main IP address. The thing 10:08, 6 May 2006 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the info. --Dragonclaws 17:39, 6 May 2006 (EDT)

Suggestion Box
You seem to be the only Admin who frequents this page, and so you don't always see the suggestions made by myself and others. Maybe there should be a page devoted to "suggestions" for the wiki -Ed 15:25, 21 April 2006 (EDT)
 * Well, there is a section in the forums, as well as Halopedia:Projects. --Dragonclaws 16:33, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

All right. Those work. -Ed 17:47, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Would it be possible to make it so that users can only edit their own userpage?


 * I could lock your page from unregistered users, but I can't limit it that directly. Although, any registered vandal could be banned easily. --Dragonclaws 12:55, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

Thx :Haloman333 16:34, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

Halo 3!!!!!
Always working you are. You made 3 pics on the Halo 3 page in the last hour! I gotta make new pics of MC!--Jonners 15:17, 10 May 2006 (EDT)

Please let me be a sysops so I can lock my user page. it got vandalised.--Jonners 16:03, 11 May 2006 (EDT)


 * You don't need to be a sysop, I can just lock it from unregistered users. If someone registered vandalizes your page, I'll confront them about it. --Dragonclaws 16:52, 11 May 2006 (EDT)

Battle for Zanzibar
That wasn't advertising. I put that because lots of people know about that video on that site, and I thought it would be worth while to mention that so people can also get an idea of the map's popularity. Please don't tell me that was another big error cause i really don't want to get blocked from this site.--Jonners 15:08, 9 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, I suppose it would be alright to put it back. It just looked like a clever plug to me. We do get those from time to time. --Dragonclaws 15:20, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

Thx. --Jonners 15:49, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

Art for Dragonclaws


Heh Dragonclaws!

I drew this myself and wondered if it could go on the Linda page. I know it's unofficial but I don't mind if you don't want it on the site.--Jonners 13:15, 3 May 2006 (EDT)


 * I'm thinking it wouldn't be appropriate for Halopedia. I do think it's cool, though. --Dragonclaws 16:33, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

I don't mind. I can tell my halo-loving friends that the administrator liked it though! --Jonners 15:27, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

Wow, an administrator!
So you do host this site, kind of. How do you became an administrator?


 * AgentSeethroo needed help, so he asked me if I wanted the job. It's not something you can achieve, except perhaps by being loyal and being there when the current sysops can't handle it alone. In any case, it's always going to be AgentSeethroo's descision. --Dragonclaws 16:35, 1 May 2006 (EDT)

Oh, and thanks for helping with the honor guard and prophet pics.--Jonners 14:17, 2 May 2006 (EDT)

Makes sense since you are the foremost contributor to this site Dragonclaws :Haloman333 11:20, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

Maw difficulties
Soz about the whole Library thing. I uploaded some good walkthrough pics about the Maw from the Bungie website Evil Otto walkthrough. I was wondering if that would be Ok, although many pictures on this site are from other websites.

--Jonners 15:23, 30 April 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, the screenshots themselves are okay. The banner is a logo of The Library, and if we had an article about that site it would make sense to have the logo, however, it is totally inappropriate on Library and futhermore, it is rude and tacky. --Dragonclaws 15:32, 30 April 2006 (EDT)

Also, could you leave the image of regret I made on 300px? You don't have to but due to the size of the image You can't see it very clearly or barely make out the face on the resize.


 * I believe I've fixed the problem. The image had too much white background. I deleted it and uploaded a cut-down version. --Dragonclaws 16:28, 1 May 2006 (EDT)

you Make Videos?
I've made about 3 halo music videos. there kk. I can't believe I found sum1 else on this website who makes em. O ye, n my frend likes Queen. Nice 1!!!!! Any1 else here make videos of any kind? user:jonners


 * I've made two others, but I haven't posted them because I'm trying to figure out how to compress them effectively. I would suggest posting general polls in the forums, as I don't think everyone reads my talk page. --Dragonclaws 16:33, 25 April 2006 (EDT)


 * Or were you asking me if I knew of others? I don't think so. This guy says he makes machinima, but he never contibuted anything, so I don't think he counts. --Dragonclaws 17:05, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

One Vision Comment
Nice Vid Dragon Claws! go on www.jonah-the-whale and have a look at some of my Halo 2 Music vids. Jonners.

P.S it ends in .piczo.com

Longsword
Why don't you lock the "Longsword" page and only unlock it when someone requests to update it? That way it stops being vandalized. -Ed 21:16, 29 Jan 2006 (EST)


 * Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. --Dragonclaws 21:50, 30 Jan 2006 (EST)

Well now, heh. I just uploaded a picture for the Longsword, but apparently it's locked. I'll let you be the Judge :) --Spartan 119 14:24, 15 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I've adjusted the lock. The page should now be open to all registered users. --Dragonclaws 06:17, 24 April 2006 (EDT)

Aw c'mon Dragonclaws. I got a great pic of a Longsword, and I care to much about this site to vandalise it. User: Jonners a its fine now thx.

Cheating?
Wait, is super bouncing considered cheating? I have seen evidence protecting both sides.


 * I think it's okay as long as we don't explicitly tell people how to use it in a cheating capacity. --Dragonclaws 23:33, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)\


 * It depends on how you use it. Superbouncing in a gametype like HGS/Zombies can be cheating, as well as using it to hide a bomb/flag.  If you are using it for fun or for a lookout point or for some other reason, no. :Haloman333 17:14, 30 Mar 2006 (EST)

What about to snipe? (micahpharoh)

Talk Question
Hoe do you get your name and the current time to appear next to what you write? As you know, or may have guessed, I am new to the Wiki editing deal. -Spartan 119

Your Halo 3 Fanfic
your fanfic link is really good. Though it more like a story than a game. Its really goo though put some Master Chief in It - Spartan99 - 06:47, 11 Mar 2006


 * Thanks. It abandons game elements because it is sometimes illogical and while fun in a game it would be boring to read about, I think. I intend to shift to Master Chief's perspective as soon as the characters reach High Charity. --Dragonclaws 02:36, 11 Mar 2006 (EST)

We should get together and, using the known information on the Forerunner, create a fanfic of the Forerunner from the earliest known to the activation of Installation 05. maybe our story will be used by Bungie as a model for a game explaining all about the Forerunner and their history. --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 20:20, 22 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Bungie has said in an interview that although they occasionally read fanfics and may make note of the things fans have interest in, they would never base any of their stuff on it, that they've got enough ideas on their own. --Dragonclaws 21:43, 22 Mar 2006

(EST)

I think we should still, even if Bungie dosen't use any of our ideas. It's for the fans.--SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:45, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I'm willing to try. How do you intend for us to go about it? --Dragonclaws 19:00, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

Hmm....what time zone are you in maybe we can like get together every other night and brainstorm for the chapter that we are currently working on. I am pretty good a typing. It only took me a few seconds to type all of this --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 22:16, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I'm in -8, Pacific. I'm afraid I don't type very fast myself. I'm a bit unclear as to how we are to write in conjuntion, could you elaborate? --Dragonclaws 22:46, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

Im in Central Time so...yea....anyways..I was thinking along the lines that we brainstorm technologies and stuff like that. Then we come up with characters...a plot line the enemy Forerunner just didn't fight the flood... they had to of had conflicts with something other than the flood. Then you (since your good at it) come up with a storyline send it to me ill typ it up send it back to you were it will be checked for grammar and spelling and word usage. we'll review for a second time making minor corrections to the story then you or me will post it somewhere. --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 22:35, 25 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Yeah, so you want to meet in IM or email eachother to brainstorm and stuff? --Dragonclaws 01:36, 10 May 2006 (EDT)

IT's HERE!!!!
halo 3 has been announced!!! PLEASE edit the halo 3 page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


 * Woohoo! It's been unlocked. --Dragonclaws 19:35, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

PLEASE edit the main page so that everyone knows, they probibly don't look at the bungie update every day like I do (BUNGIE RULES) (micahpharoh) Also the navigation box so it says Halo 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!


 * Done and done. Although, I'll take away the first one in a week or so when it becomes common knowledge. --Dragonclaws 01:12, 10 May 2006 (EDT)

Truth.
Im Glad you like my Truth Pic. I have tons of screenshots I can use for this site, but I dont want to be an upload whore.


 * There's no real policy on the images, so just try to use some moderation. --Dragonclaws 15:12, 27 May 2006 (EDT)

Just letting you know
Just letting you know it's "en.wikipedia.org", not "www.wikipedia.org." Just letting you know. Tam po  (T /  C )  15:01, 21 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, thanks. It's been fixed. --Dragonclaws 02:04, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

sig
Hi. For some reason in my preferences in the nickname box it says:  . Why is is like that? Also when i got rid of the SUBST: and clicked save the SUBST: was still there. Tam po  (T /  C )  15:04, 21 May 2006 (EDT)


 * I'm afraid I really don't know much about this area of the wiki software. I would suggest looking around http://www.mediawiki.org/ for help. Is it really a problem, though? The template itself seems to work on its own. Does the sig come out funny? --Dragonclaws 02:49, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
 * No, it comes out normal. Look in the edit box. When i type 4 tildes it copies my signature. [[image:Tampo.png|20px]] Tam  po  (T /  C ) [[image:Tampo.png|20px]] 09:35, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
 * So it may not be a problem, just the way it labels things. I didn't know if you were using the tildes or if you just copy+pasted from notepad or something. I've never used the nickname feature myself; also I don't know what the sig was supposed to look like, rather than its final form. --Dragonclaws 15:20, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

Thanks a lot
Hi Dragonclaws thanks for helping me with the picture on my user page. Now I have new pictures on my user page. Drop by any time to see them.Reply to me as soon as possible.--Master Chief 18:39, 21 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Sure, happy to help. Yeah, nice selection of images. A suggestion: it might improve the look of the page to sit the images side by side, rather than stretch out the page by having them as thumbs. --Dragonclaws 03:15, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it. 19:01, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

Question Reguarding modding.
So you DO allow modded shots if they are realistic to the "Halo-universe"? Like The Jackal on the ight time Outskirts I uploaded?

Kind of a stupid question I know, since you have that Shot of Truth on your profile. But I saw you delated Some from the spartan article. I'd say the one with the two spartans departing form the pelicans are realistic.

And I also guess you dont mind that I list stuff about weapon compatibility, although its not seen normally in-game. All the stuff I put is something they have the animations and ability to use reguardless if you see it normally or not.


 * Yeah, the realistic images make sense. I thought the ones in Spartans didn't look very realistic. But yeah, the pelican one does work. I'll upload it. And I think the weapon lists are interesting enough to be appropriate. --Dragonclaws 21:49, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

Lock Halo 2 page
can u lock the Halo 2 and Halo pages. They keep getting pumpkin grenade advertisements

Articles for removal
I've found three -- all of them contain typo in article's name and (IMNSHO) should be removed:
 * Gettysbrug
 * UNSC Levitahan
 * Leivathan

Ryan 19:50, 2 June 2006 (EDT)


 * Okay, they're deleted. --Dragonclaws 00:11, 3 June 2006 (EDT)

Unggoy
Escuse me Dragonclaws.

I come from much experience at Wikipedia and especially the Wookiepedia (starwars.wikia.com), and i'm very used to a certain format. Granted, this is just one guy grumbling, but i think i have a valid point. If you look at my recent additions to the file of Avery Jones Johnson, this is a great change from the format of the rest of the artices. However, allow me to explain. I see this as an encyclopedia, written after all of these events have ocured in the past tense. I also beleive the articles would benefit from having the images within them rather than following, making the article more user friendly and easier on the eye.

take a look at the Wookiepeidia's format. Personally, i like the way its organized and was thinking of starting one with a similar format, but dealing with Halo. Seeing that this already exists, i am coming looking for a better way to organize the articles here. Please take a look at the article and tell me what you think of it, seeing as you are an admin here. please give me feedback on how you think the others would accept this new style: no real-world references within bios, technical names of weapons instead of nicknames (M12 LRV as opposed to warthog/SR AM Sniper Rifle rather than sniper rifle), and a few more minor deelies here and there.

another issue which brings me here is the naming of the covenant. Personally, i do not like how the main title is "Grunt" or "Jackal" rather than "Unggoy" or "Kig-Yar". In my beleifs, shouldn't the proper name be the title, and then other cultural nomenclature come second? Redirects are not that hard to do, so it's not as if the other articles would be messed up with these changes. Just a thought.

thanks for listening.

Dude984


 * I think it was a excellent overhaul of the article. Wookiepedia does indeed seem to be a well-functioning wiki, and its format does look appealing. I would agree that Halopedia could do with some reformating, any help would be appriciated.


 * Until a few months ago, we were unable to upload images to the wiki. They had to be linked in from off-site, and, if you wanted them on the side of the page, you had to use html. It was out of convenience that we just stuck them all under a header at the bottom. Now that the uploading works, I have been trying to move images to the sides of the articles, however, it is hard when there are more images than there is room.


 * As for the race names, while "Unggoy" is the proper name of the race, this has only been mentioned in Conversations from the Universe. The average gamer will not understand if he starts reading about how to kill SpecOps Sangheili, and will have to visit each page to realize which species is being refered to. Similarly, the English Wikipedia uses Japanese people as the article title, only noting that they refer to themselves as "Nihon-jin". --Dragonclaws 16:46, 4 June 2006 (EDT)

Xbox Live
Hey dragonclaws, send me a FR at Parp555 --Haloman333

Question
How do you change the color of a template??? -gb2u


 * If you look at the template here, there are these "#"s followed by six alphanumeric characters, which denote color. The characters are hexadecimal, going from 0 - 15, but using letters A - F after 9. The first two characters determine how much red goes into it, with 00 being none and FF being maximum. The other character sets are green and blue, respectively. Specific color codes can be found on lists on the web, or in color slection menus of graphic programs. --Dragonclaws 09:28, 30 June 2006 (EDT)

Halo Mods
Can there be a modding section in the Halo Glitches and Tricks page? - patd


 * You mean telling people how to mod, right? If you mean for Xbox, I'm afraid of some people messing up their systems do to inaccurate instructions. As I don't mod myself, I can't correct any misinformation which may be added. Perhaps it would just be best to link to another site in the Modding article. However, if you mean PC, you can just reinstall, right? If so, I think PC would be all right. --Dragonclaws 10:12, 30 June 2006 (EDT)

...
Hello. I used to be Ed. Now, my username has been taken, along with practically any other possible username. Since my tag is attatched to so much stuff already, I propose that you delete the already created username "Ed" so I can take my old user name again. I don't think whoever created it intended to use it. -69.223.86.235 00:40, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * I think anyone registered on any Wikia site has their account automatically functional on every site. So, I don't think that's possible. I suggest you be creative and maybe spell something backwards to get a new username, and then redirect Ed to it. --Dragonclaws 01:30, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * We're just COPYING articles from Halopedia, right? Because it seems that most of the high quality main pages on the original site have been replaced with low quality messed up crap pages here. such as the Spartan pages. and every other important page. -ED 03:35, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * This used to be a site independant of Halopedia. We couldn't support the site at halopedia.org, so we're merging to this one. Its users seem to have already copied some of our stuff here and altered it, previous to our move. --Dragonclaws 03:41, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * If they had compied our pages, then their pages wouldnt be so crappy. After all- we wrote them.So Halopedia is being deleted after we're done transferring? What exactly was this page before we took it? --ED 03:49, 25 July 2006 (UTC)


 * It was a competitor Halo wiki formerly called "Halo Wiki." Halopedia.org cannot be kept up due to bandwidth costs, so Porplemontage decided to move everything here. Because Halopedia is popular, they changed the name and look to match the Halopedia's. Take a look at the main page discussion. --Dragonclaws 04:29, 25 July 2006 (UTC)

Templates
Hey, what's up, Dragonclaws?

Thanks about the templates. I'm wondering about three things:

1. How to become an administrator? 2. If there's an AfD process here at Halopedia? 3. Can I help to write a "How To Edit" kind of page, similar to the one found on Wikipedia?

Cheers,

RelentlessRogue 05:57, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Users are recruited by the current admins when they believe they can't handle it themselves.
 * Not at the moment. It's more like: a user adds an article to Category:Candidates for Deletion, and I check it out and decide whether or not to delete it. We don't have a very solid community here, so if I try to argue a point instead of simply acting, I'm not likely to recieve a response for quite a while. If you're planning to participate, we could create one, though.
 * Sure. We already have Help:Editing, though. So you might want to just edit that rather than write an entirely new article. --Dragonclaws 09:37, 7 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Gotcha. Ok, so for the admin stuff, I guess there's not an RfA. And, I would be willing to try to make the programming for an AfD process. The basic stuff with templates and userboxes are fine, but the harder stuff might be a bit over my head! I'll try to edit the Help:Editing as see if I can nake it better.


 * On my userpage, I've made more templates, including an exceptional article template. Would a "EA" template be ok? Like the community nominates an article that's exceptional and mentions it on the front page?


 * Also, I'll be adding my templates onto the help page, if that's ok with you.


 * And expanding on the administrator stuff, how long or how many edits must I accumulate before I can become one? This is purely for me to help Halopedia, not for personal status.


 * Cheers,

 * P.S.-next time please respond to my messages at User talk:RelentlessRogue. Thanks.


 * Roger that. The only reason I want to become an admin is that if I make changes on the help pages or create templates, I want to be able to defend my decision.


 * Cheers!


 * Thanks,

AfD:I Love Bees
Hello Dragonclaws,

I'm afraid that I have unfortunate news to report. I have nominated I Love Bees and all related articles for deletion. They are all fan fiction. I know you've edited the ILB page, but please do not take offense.

On Wikipedia, fan fiction isn't allowed. So why here?

Oh, and how did you protect your user page...? =)

Cheers,

This user is blatently mislabeling articles as false, suggested for deletion, inaccurate, etc., but without ANY demand for such labels. For example, he has labeled EVERY ILB article for deletion, stated that the infromation for the CCS-Cruiser as inaccurate, but with no evidence for such information. I don't know what you can do about it, but I find his arrogance annoying and ignorance since he's just doing what he wants based on his opinion when wikipedia works with facts.

Yes we must stop him before its to late! and the stuff on the I Love Bees website was partly made by Bungie wasn’t it ? or at least over seen by them -- User:CrzyAznSprtn 14:39, 10 August 2006

Dragonclaws could you please tell me how to put pictures into articles on Halopedia -Climax Viod 22:09, 10 August 2006 (UTC)


 * There's a short guide in the FAQ. Is this sufficient? --Dragonclaws 00:58, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Fine thanks check out the Fuel Rod Gun. -Climax Viod 10:00, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

Fan Fiction
Dragonclaws I read about half of your Halo story on http://www.halomovieonline.com/site/index.php?topic=1147.0 its good stuff do you think the Sangheili will join the humans in future Halo games or books that would fit in well because there would be a even number on both sides.

Humans- Jackals Elites- Brutes Hunters- Drinol Grunts- Drones        -Climax Viod 12:29, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Thanks. Yes, I do. However, I believe the Chief at Earth will still fight all the normal enemies until the later levels. It should take time for the rebellion to spread to the forces at Earth, and I imagine Drinol would be used sparingly, perhaps only to guard the Ark or similar place of high status. The Elite in Conversations said, "soon we may be able to use the Sharquoi," making me think they're perhaps few in number. --Dragonclaws 18:15, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * Is it possible Bungie will introduce a new race (called Sharquoi, but not a Drinol seen in the deleted Halo 2 stuff) that is similar to the Hunters? --CrzyAznSprtn 18:40, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * I believe Sharquoi and Drinol are likely the same thing, however, Bungie may have done some changes to the design since the creature we saw on the DVD. A mural in the extended scene shows a picture of an alien that looks pretty similar. --Dragonclaws 19:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

In the [Halo 3: Behind the Scenes] movie it shows a model of something that could be a new race it looks similar to the concept art of the sniper race in the bonus DVD with Halo 2 special edition. -Climax Viod 19:53, 11 August 2006 (UTC)


 * This? I believe that to be a Brute. It is early in development, so it doesn't have the characteristic fur. --Dragonclaws 19:59, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

No, the other skiny, tall, bald thing on the table. Oh and is it ok to copy things across from other web sites e.g. the helljumper pictures from http://nikon.bungie.org/misc/sloftus_iactour/ to add to the ODST section on Halopedia ? -Climax Viod 21:24, 11 August 2006 (UTC)
 * If Bungie developed it enough for it to make the DVD, it would make sense that they might have such stuff around. I'll take a look at it, though. I think the actual screenshots of Halo are okay because I can't see how anyone besides Bungie could own it, however, I'm not sure about the scale comparisons. --Dragonclaws 19:17, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

How do you create a link to another page by useing a differant name? [Nukes, would take you to the article on Shiva Nuclear-tipped missile]
 * Replace all the text of a page with " #REDIRECT Arbiter " to make that page a redirect to Arbiter. --Dragonclaws 19:17, 12 August 2006 (UTC)
