My Article
Dear Subtank,

I understand why you would rather me add the article I created (red vs blue PSA's) to an existing article. What I do not understand is why I recived no warning of the page being deleted, and why I now have to spend another hour re-writing what I have already written. Could you not have given me a chance to transfer the information before you deleted it. With this in mind, I will re-create the page, and then transfer what I have written onto the main red vs blue page. Until I have done this, please do not delete the page again.

Regards

Problem reports
Hi Subtank,

I've noticed you use the report a problem feature rather frequently, which is great, but there are a number of templates you should be placing on articles instead of using this feature.

To propose a merge, use. If you dispute the facts of the article, use. If you think the article should be deleted, use.

Regards,

76.179.151.163- Subtank, I know you probably won't believe this, but I was testing all administrators to see if they actually do something or sit there and look threateningly down on you. This said, I would greatly appreciate it if you would restore my editing permission for HaloFanon. I would like to continue developing my work. Seeing now that administrators actually do do something, I will "behave". Please respond. Thank you.

Dear Subtank, Don't you think that if epilogue and boundless get there own pages then shouldn't onslaught and amplified get their own sections or subsections on Foundry's page. Heck they should even get there own pages but I'm not worried about that right now. I just think there is not enough information about these popular foundry variants when there should be a sufficient amount. Your better at creating stuff like this than me so it would be cool if you did it.

thanks,

P.S. I only wrote this because you deleted my subsections for these variants and i figured you could create them better.

Keep it up!
Dear Subtank,

I've been noticing your Halo 3 contributions. =] Continue the good work!

Deleting duplicates
Unless there's a huge difference in the name, we don't delete duplicates... instead we redirect them. As anyone could type in "shadow of intent" instead of "Shadow of Intent," I've redirect Shadow of intent (the first letter's capitalized automatically) to Shadow of Intent, so everyone should go to the right place. =D  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  18:02, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Hi.Im one of your new friends and I just wantedto know a little bit about you.

My Article
Recently, you posted in my article UNSCTTP://EPWW:COLEPROTOCOL/Virtualscav/fbr.091 that it did not meet wiki standards. I would love to fix it, but I am not that familliar with these guidlines. I was wondering if you could point out what you spotted that was wrong. This would be of great help, as it would let me be more accurate when writing my next article. In addition, could you check out my other new article, Viral Data Scavengers, and let me know if anything is wrong with this as well?

Interview!!
Hello, Subtank. First of all, I would like to tell you that I have gained Rollback Rights here on Halopedia, and that I have been promoted to Honor Guard Elite in the Covenant of Halopedia. But that is irrelevant. I am here to ask you a couple questions, nothing personal, of course.


 * 1) What is it like being an admin?
 * 2) Do you feel any different being an admin that you felt being a normal user? For example, do you feel a certain distance from other users? Do you feel as is you have lost some of the familiarity?
 * 3) Were you shocked when your own RfA was opened? How did you feel?

I hope those questions weren't too intrusive and/or personal! Now, let's be straight and truthful with each other. I believe that you are a very kind, honest user who is very decent and mature. You are a great vandal fighter, and a great veteran Halopedian. However, sometimes you are a little too nice, and you don't show your emotions much. What is your opinion of me?


 * With regards, hoping you are well, please reply on my Talk Page, — Lt.   Commander   Kouger  04:54, 21 December 2008 (UTC)


 * PS. You might want to fix your talk page, everything is centered and in a box.

Is the character mentioned above a fictional one? I don't understand anything about it. I'm confused as to whether or not it may be fanfiction or an unknown canon character.

Plasma Rifle
Yeah, sorry about that...clearly not thinking straight. I did what I meant to do the next edit. However, it'd be nice to save the rollback to vandal edits and use undo, explaining why. The 888th Avatar (Talk) 09:39, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Hmmm, I know you're a bit short of time, but still, I disagree. This wiki could also appoint more admins, the wiki has a surprisingly small number of them when considering the number of users there are. When undoing edits I always provide a reason, unless it is vandalism. Wikia says you should, in the name of courtesy and making it easier for other users viewing RC to see why the edit was undone. But still, you don't have to follow this, it's just a tip. The 888th Avatar  (Talk) 10:08, 2 March 2009 (UTC)


 * I just had a look at the list of users, it's more than 10% (I raised my eyebrows at that), but it's still relatively small. :) But of course, how you use edit summary is your choice. The 888th Avatar  (Talk) 10:32, 2 March 2009 (UTC)

Arbiter:
It's already on the discussion page, and is already ignored by the admins. The argument is simple: No source confirms that Thel Vadam ever achieved the rank of Supreme Commander (Admiral) of the Fleet of Particular Justice. One source mentions that he becomes a Shipmaster (Captain) within the Fleet. I've checked the book, Halo: The Cole Protocol. I've read the Author's blog. I've checked the new Halo Wars Timeline. However, no known link exists. The only proof that exists is that The Arbiter and Thel Vadam happened to serve in the same fleet with different ranks at different times.

The Counterargument is equally simple: "It's already here so it has to be true." "10 admins haven't killed it yet." "Why would they mention the fleet if you aren't supposed to jump to conclusions?"

The idea that the two are the same character is popular speculation. Is it possible? Sure. Is it confirmed? Not remotely. SinisterSamurai 19:56, 18 March 2009 (UTC)


 * First of all, he's not present during the events of Halo Wars. That information only applies to the other Arbiter. Secondly, Halo: The Cole Protocol is considered faulty in terms of details. The novel suffers various problems because of the new author's style of writing: The Novel did not address which month or day each event took place, thus Halopedia has to investigate, analyse and make assumptions to cover the errors of the novel, The Novel contradicts the previous established canon made by other novels. This, however, is excusable as Bungie fails to update its Halo Universe from time to time. Thirdly, based on the evidences showed by users who already obtained the novel, it seems that Thel Vadam is the Arbiter in the events of Halo 2 and Halo 3. So, setting up a formula >> . Coincidence occurs rarely. Here's a suggestion, start a thread in Bungie.net and grab the Staff's attention. Such grave issue should capture their attention...- <font color="#FF4F00">5 ub<font color="#FF4F00">7 ank (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 20:10, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
 * What " " do you speak of? Again, there is one support: The FoPJ link. And just as many users have been against the assumption as have been for it, so it's . And the biggest positive is "Halopedia is a wiki so it can't be wrong." Inconsistencies with TCP would be reasons to discount the theory, not support it.


 * "This, however, is excusable as Bungie fails to update its Halo Universe from time to time."

- What I said previously So far, there is no evidence which oppose the current fact, thus making the current fact as a valid point. Unless you manage to support your claim that the Arbiter is not Thel' Vadam, the article stays as it is. P.S. I don't have the novel and not planning on buying it. I suggest talking to Forerunner about this issue.- <font color="#FF4F00">5 ub<font color="#FF4F00">7 ank (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 21:03, 18 March 2009 (UTC)

What?
I have this Pop-up thing when I log on, and the links rickroll me. Why is this happening?

Gravity and Magnets (Science of Halo)
I noticed that you reverted my edit on the "Antigravity plate" described in 'Ghost of Onyx', so I thought I should probably explain the changes and why they were made. The changes I made were intended to make the entry more scientifically accurate. To explain this in better detail, I've broken down the inaccuracies point for point. BTW if you are interested in the science behind science fiction, I highly recommend this book >http://www.randomhouse.com/catalog/display.pperl?isbn=9780385520690 1. "The Antigravity Plate was a technology invented by the UNSC. It was designed to create artificial gravity for the UNSC's Fleet of ships."

This is a contradiction in terms. An ANTIgravity plate could not possibly generate *gravity*. Gravity attracts matter, antigravity would repel it: they are polar opposites. The book never actually says they were used to generate "gravity", instead it says the reverse by calling it an "antigrav plate". I think the confusion comes from the fact that it generated "10 gs" of force, which fooled the Spartan's pressure sensors. But in reality this could have been from the beam pushing them into the floor from above, rather than below, which would have the same effect. I would assume that if it generated a pulling, or attracting force, it would simply be called a gravity plate. 2. "As of 2531, it was old technology, and they never quite panned out, but some were still around. What exactly they were intended to be used for was never specifically stated, but it is possible that they were to be used to lift heavy ordinance by causing it to float, lifting it up, and making it levitate for easy transport." This matches the novel, but contradicts the statements made in point 1. Here an *antigravity* device is described, yet other parts of the article describe a *gravity* generator. 3. "It is likely that they were based on the use of electromagnetism rather than actual gravity (all objects have magnetic attraction, but most are very weak. A powerful enough electromagnet could function as a pseudo-gravity generator), given the surprise of the UNSC to find true artificial gravity technology on the first Covenant ship they boarded." This is not likely at all for numerous reasons, and this shows a lack of understanding regarding magnets. For one, if it was simply an extremely powerful magnet, I imagine the author would simply call it a magnet. Depending on the polarity, a magnet can attract or repel, making it hard to understand why it would be called an "antigrav" plate. All objects do not have magnetic attraction, and diamagnets (like water) and paramagnets only acquire magnetic properties with the presence of an external electromagnetic field. The other problem here is that humans would be diamagnetic, meaning a *very* powerful superconductor would make us levitate, in other words it would do the opposite of what gravity does! So hey there you go, that's what the they mean by "antigrav" right? Let's not forget it's still a magnet, and a magnet that powerful would likely rip ear rings out of people ears and pull guns out of people hands, fry any electrical device and otherwise cause great harm. Simply put this type of device would be useless for generating any kind of "gravity" or "antigravity" inside anything other than an all plastic ship with people wearing entirely non-metalic objects. The reality is that if something were to generate actual gravity in a beam (as shown in the games and describe in the book) it would have to somehow produce gravitons (the hypothetical particle of gravity) or alternately "antigravitons". Scientists expect gravitons to exist, but we currently don't know how to "see" them, let alone create them. If we are given another 500 years, it's possible we may eventually figure out how to generate gravitons in a directed beam, but for now it's like cavmen trying to build an airplane. Regarding gravitons> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graviton http://curious.astro.cornell.edu/question.php?number=535 So I hope you will reconsider my edit and see that it was grounded in the terminology used in the books as well as a basic understanding of real life science. Thank you and have a great day Simeon Koning SimKoning@msn.com --SimK81 05:05, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
