Talk:Dr. Halsey's personal journal

Content secion
Out of curiosity, do we know if either the Limited or Legendary Edition notes/packing information are canon? If I'm not mistaken, aren't they incompatible? -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner? The Lost Books 11:43, 23 March 2011 (EDT)


 * Ich versteh euch nicht :/ How did you include that parts are non-canon?--  Fore  run  ner '' 12:56, 23 March 2011 (EDT)


 * If anything they make Halo: Reach more compatible with existing canon, not less. In addition our canon policy is to assume that something from approved sources is canon until it has been proven otherwise. The fact that 343 Industries personnel as well as Eric Nylund were involved in the bonus material proves that this is very clearly meant as canon.--Emblem 1.jpg  Rusty  - 112   18:05, 23 March 2011 (EDT)


 * What I meant by this is the "packing information," as in the notes of the supposed sender. Are the notes from the package's sender to his cousin (pic 1 in the gallery) and the note from Colonel Eton (pic 3) both correct, or are they non-canon? That was my question. -- Am I a Lion, or a Lamb? Or a Boy?  Saint o r Sinner?  The Lost Books 16:53, 24 March 2011 (EDT)


 * Colonel Eton sent the container to a Beta-5 operative in 2553. After the operative's death in the 27th century, another man claimed it for himself and sent it to his cousin, urging him to either send it to the Museum of Humanity or go public, himself.--  Fore  run  ner '' 17:11, 24 March 2011 (EDT)

How did they get access to it?
How did SPARTAN-019 get access to and read her journal? I thought that it was both physical and highly protected against intruders. Vegerot goes RAWR! Vegerot ( talk )  01:54, 30 October 2011 (EDT)

Perspective
This article is written from the real world point of view. The "List of appearances" implies it is from an in-universe point of view. I think we need to rewrite. — S331 (COM • Mission Log • Profile) 13:21, 15 June 2012 (EDT)
 * Agreed. Or we could keep some of the real world content and put it in a section such as a "Behind the Scenes" or something like that.-- Spartacus  ('''Talk 14:18, 15 June 2012 (EDT)

Book Dimensions
I find myself wondering, what are the books dimensions? Are we talking big, medium-sized, or small? What am I to expect if I were to get it, just out of curiosity? -- Xamikaze330  [Transmission |Commencing ] 14:24, 24 December 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330
 * I'd say it's more toward the small side if you ask me.-- 16:46, 24 December 2013 (EST)


 * Halsey's Journal is 7.25" tall, 5.25" wide, and just over an inch thick. It has a fold-over magnetic clasp and the pages are bound with string. There's 200 pages of material plus a pocket on the back cover that has lots of other peripherals like pictures, a map, etc. In my opinion, it's one of the coolest additions to the Halo canon surpassing most novels in terms of pure content. -ScaleMaster117 (talk) 17:12, 24 December 2013 (EST)


 * I know. It's so loaded with data, I want so much to get my hands on it! I asked for it either for Christmas or my birthday, but I don't know which "when" I will get it. -- Xamikaze330  [Transmission |Commencing ] 20:01, 24 December 2013 (EST)Xamikaze330
