In the Spartan-III program you removed all the equipment, they arent just equipped with SPI armor...
 * But it is the equipment they are known for. It would be redundant to list every weapon a S-III got hold off; if such thing were to happen, why not just put every known UNSC weapon inside the infobox.....-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 21:34, June 1, 2010 (UTC)
 * Which Noble Team has Mark V B armor, and some of the spartans used those carbines, and marksmenrifles.
 * The SPI is there because it was specialised for the S-IIIs. The Mark V[B] was an armour designed for SPARTANs in general. It's just only used by Noble Team members because the manufacturer was a private company that would only be able to make limited models.--  Fore  run  ner  00:29, June 2, 2010 (UTC)

The M6G debate
I'm getting tired of your disregard for other opinions. In the M6G page, you keep putting up unofficial info. Then when I remove it, you put it back up saying that the M6G not having variants is unofficial info. You need to get your rules straight. Bungie confirms it as an "M6G Personal Defense Weapon System", nothing more. They did not name the sub-variant seen in Halo: Reach. It is not our deciding to name this variant, especially if we name it based on what is seen on the sides of the gun. If we are to name a weapon, we must name it according to what Bungie states it to be. Just as you said Bungie canon trumps Halopedia canon, you must follow that. The M6G variants are not Bungie canon.--FluffyEmoPenguin 17:09, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * The printed texts support the fact that they are variants. That's sufficient evidence to support my claim that they are indeed variants. What might counter this? Bungie's statement that they made a mistake or Bungie fixed the so-called typos either by announcing through BWU or all other forms of announcement media. As such, this is treated as Bungie canon (the fact that the bitmap was produced by Bungie made it so). The same applies to the MA37 merge argument (which has been closed).
 * You argued that they are indeed errors made by Bungie and that they are evident by the past games produced/developed by them. However, the one that don't make sense is why such minuscule error manage to be carried over throughout the entire titles. Let's focus on Halo 3's M6G. If they were indeed typos, why didn't Bungie removed them during the development phase from the Beta? Why didn't Bungie replaced the typos with a new bitmap using the title updates? Bungie could've easily done so, but they didn't. This imply that they were intentional and that Bungie intended them to be different models, or at the very least variants. If you wish to counter this with H2's Rocket Launcher case, that will fail easily as Bungie seemingly admitted publicly that they made an error in labelling the rocket launcher through the HCE and H2 manual booklets. However, it should be noted that this is the only case where Bungie admits they made an error. Other than that, they seem intent on having those weapons to be labelled as so, incorrectly in the eyes of the public.-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 22:42, June 9, 2010 (UTC)
 * I don't understand what's going through your mind when you think that "Model 6B" refers to a sub-variant of the M6G. There is no doubt that it refers to a variant of the M6. There are many reasons as to why these bitmaps would be incorrectly labelled, as well as continously mislabelled. There could have been a name change after the bitmap was created, or the design team might not have been very close to the canon directors. Who knows for sure? The point is that the labelling "Model 6B" refers to the M6B. Since Bungie has stated it is an M6G, the labelling is therefore considered a mistake. It does not need a direct statement from Bungie like "We mislabelled this weapon as such and such..." because the fact that Bungie named it in a weekly update, on the Ordnance page, on carnage reports, and even Halo Waypoint, proves that it was a misprint. To make such a bold assumption as to name these weapons' sub-variants requires much more information than a stamping on a bitmap. Another thing, your ideas are inconsistent. The M6C in Halo 2 says "Model 6C" on the side. Does that mean that it is an M6C-C? The ODST M6C/SOCOM says "Model 6C" on the side. Does that mean that it is an M6C/SOCOM-C? The only way for your theory to fit is if the weapons said "Model C" or "Model B", which they don't. -- Fluffy Emo Penguin  03:53, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Since I believe it is necessary, I will explain my base beliefs in full on this issue. The M6G in Halo 3 is the "true" M6G. The original, not a sub-variant. The M6G in Halo: Reach is a sub-variant of the M6G. Although, this sub-variant is not called the M6G Model 6B. It has no known name as of now.-- Fluffy Emo Penguin 04:08, June 10, 2010 (UTC)


 * Odd that some of my sentences did not appear as it did in the edit form. Anyway, the M6G in Halo 3 Beta had the same issue as we're having right now; it had a Model6 C imprinted on it but was designated as M6G by Bungie. This was ignored by the previous community as a simple mistake. However, the same problem arise in Halo: Reach's Beta. So, what does this imply? Bungie, a professional game developer, could make such a minuscule mistake in a bitmap and ignored fixing it... twice for over 3 years of development? A simply oversight and they didn't bother fixing it? I think not. It is strongly suggested that it is intentionally. Why such odd designation, you ask? Well, it's the future and designation system changes, who knows. Bungie created the universe and revamped the entire known political, social, military, etc system. 500 years into the future and changes to the system are bound to happen. -  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 14:04, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * Regarding H2's M6C; as absurd and ridiculous as it sounds, that might be true. However, we don't know other possible sub-variants of the M6C, so that could be ignored. The fact of the matter is that we have two M6Gs of two different imprints of two different games of two different timeline. It could be entirely possible that the M6G in Reach is indeed a B variant but was upgraded to C variant by the events of Halo 3. that would be the most logical sense in terms of timeline-wise.
 * Again, if this is fixed in the released game, I would love to redact all known information on the sub-variants and apologise. But as of now, it's legit info. It would be a waste of time arguing over a spilled milk and it wouldn't be productive to the wiki regardless of where this discussion is heading..-  5 əb'7 aŋk (7alk ) 14:04, June 10, 2010 (UTC)
 * "Bungie, a professional game developer, could make such a minuscule mistake in a bitmap and ignored fixing it... twice for over 3 years of development?" Exactly. It is such a miniscule mistake that they repeated it. Miniscule mistakes are the ones that are repeated most often. You're throwing logic out the window. The absolute most logical assumption is that it was a misprint. Even if it is 500 years in the future, designation systems may have been changed, but clustered, inefficient designations like "Model 6G Model 6B" would never exist purposefully. No company in their right mind would do that, regardless of era. Think clearly for a second: if Bungie were to make available such important information like the full name of a weapon (including sub-variant), would they include it on the tiny bitmap stamping that hardly anyone notices, or would they state themselves? I understand your motives to differentiate between these two weapons canonically, but it cannot be done as of now. There is not enough information. Even if it were 50/50 in regards to probability of being a misprint or a true designation, niether can be proven yet. We cannot say they are the "Model 6G Model 6B" and "Model 6G Model 6C", nor can we say it is a misprint. Therefore, in the style of Halopedia, we should not post either information.-- Fluffy Emo Penguin  00:46, June 11, 2010 (UTC)

Re: I herd you liek mudkips
You herd rite. I duz liek mudkipz, and I duz haz some proposals. I am very short on time right now (my free time doesn't start until next week!), so to see the proposals for yourself, here are some links with relevant information. I understand General5 7 may have already filled you in, but if not, or if you want more information, here it is.


 * Smoke's Talk Page
 * My Talk Page
 * General5 7's Draft

Basically, I want to revive the usergroups because I feel that if, used correctly, they could be a huge help to Halopedia. To quote myself, "Halopedia has A LOT of articles to maintain. It may look shiny and perfect on the outside, but it's rotten to the core with bad articles." If something could possibly be arranged, I'd be more than happy to co-lead the Covenant of Halopedia, the Standards Council of Halopedia, and the Gamers of Halopedia, the latter of whom is severely underrated. The gaming articles (eg. maps, gametypes, etc.) are absolutely terrible, and as an avid Halo gamer myself, I'm very interested in fixing them. My interest in the Covenant of Halopedia stems back from last year, when I was intensely involved, as does my interest in the Standards Council, which I am also eager to have revived, for obvious reasons.

If the usergroups could make a comeback, I am very sure that with the involvement of a few dedicated leaders to motivate members, and General5 7's proposed requirements to join, and with a little organization, the usergroups could help Halopedia in such a huge way that every single one of those "rotten articles" become cleansed and unspoiled.

Email problem
...Subtank...I'm not getting ANY emails whatsoever from Halopedia. No digests, no changes to my followed pages, nothing. I verified my preferences settings, and they all allow for emails to be sent to my email (which is correct), and I am still following pages, and I even looked at one of the pages I follow to see if, for some odd reason, no one made changes to all of the 300+ pages I follow. There have been many changes. What's wrong? I've had this problem for several weeks, but I've been really busy, so I never got around to posting my inquiry here.

Reach weapon and vehicle categorization
Subtank, I really don't know why i'm having to tell you this...but there's no reason whatsoever to differentiate the lists for the Human and Covenant weaponry and vehicles on the Halo: Reach page. Like i've stated many times before, there is already a pseudo-categorization with the "M"-designation and "UNSC"-prefix for the Humans, and the "Type-xx" for the Covenant Empire. As agreed upon a year or so ago, we categorize with with alphabet on the Reach appearance list rather than by faction.

I understand that you want to make it a bit more easier for the newer users to understand, however, it's not that hard to click on a particular weapon and learn about it's proper nomenclature within the Covenant so we make more knowledgeable community members. Remember that were an encyclopedia (not the lame print version from 343i or Halo Waypoint) and while we should redirect pages to common fan terms (i.e. DMR, Plasma Repeater, etc.), it should always be maintained that we're a strictly canon-following website over any other fashion that may exist.

Thank you, and have a good day.

Rawr,


 * I would agree.. but based from feedbacks for improvement I gathered from other Halo community (i.e. B.net forums), they became confused with our categorisation system, and some misinterpreted the content. I know it is not hard to simply click the link, but we have to take into account the one common human nature that exist in all of us; laziness. By simply dividing them into two simple categories (UNSC and Covenant), readers will be able to learn to differentiate between a UNSC article and a Covenant article. From there on, they will be able to learn how UNSC and Covenant weapons are designated. It is, afterall, two little categories. It has been applied throughout all Game articles, so why is Halo: Reach an exclusive article of not following the established layout? As an encyclopaedia, it is also our job to keep it simple and understandable to readers; not to confuse them with complex designations. If we were to keep the designations and avoid using common titles in articles, then we should also try to categorise them properly.
 * I am, and has always been, in the position of maintaining the designation system. I have never take the approach of replacing the designation with its common name (i.e. replacing MA5C ICWS to Assault Rifle). How you came across that idea of me taking such approach is beyond me? "And I thought you knew me, after all the years we've been working together"... - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 00:58, August 7, 2010 (UTC)


 * I would like to point out that while many would not memorise the full technical names, they do recognise the model number. If I was looking through the Halo 3 weapons list and saw "MA5C", I would instantly identify it as an Assault Rifle. The same can go for pistols. They seem easy enough to remember - these guys are just too lazy to work it out.-- Forerunner 01:27, August 7, 2010 (UTC)

Appearances template
Hi, Subtank. I have a few questions/suggestions regarding the Appearances template.

Is there any way we could implement a system with the Appearances template similar to the Era template? For example, instead of having to type, etc., could we make it so we just have to type  ?

And also, would it make it easier if the " ==List of Appearances== " header could be included in the Appearances template?

Regarding the Prophet of Regret as a Flood form
Subtank, I noticed that you reverted my edit to the Prophet of Regret article which stated that he wasn't really killed by the Master Chief. However, after he was assimilated by the Flood, Regret still retained his persona. If he was killed before the Flood could assimilate him, no trace of his mind's personality would remain. This leads me to believe that since Regret still retained his personality after his Flood assimilation, he couldn't have been killed prior to that. I don't see any other explanation. But you reverted my edit. So, I was wondering if you had any different explanation(s). Thoughts?


 * You should be aware that the Flood has the capabilities to access the host's memories, even the dead. The Flood uses the host's memories to overcome any potential problem in their way and will utilise the memories to gain access to places that they aren't able to without a host.
 * In the Gravemind level cutscene, we can see that the Gravemind reanimated the dead prophet to manipulate the captured John-117 and Thel 'Vadam to complete a task he could never do; to prevent the firing of the Halo Array. John-117 already knew the purpose of the Array, but not Thel. In order to motivate Thel to go against the Covenant and prevent the firing of the Array, Gravemind reanimated Regret to show the errors of the religion (something Thel have grown accustomed to), knowing that the Monitor would not be able to relay the purpose of the Array in a way Thel would be able to understand. The Gravemind is indeed a mastermind; he brought back Regret so that the reanimated Prophet would argue with the Penitent Tangent. This argument will show the flaw of the Great Journey and also shed some light as to what the Halos really do. Because of this flaw, Thel will soon question the purpose of the Great Journey, doubting it and cause an uprising against the Prophets.
 * So, in short, Regret is already dead. Gravemind accessed Regret's memories to show the errors of the Covenant to motivate Thel to prevent the firing of the Halos. If Gravemind haven't done so, Thel would still activate the Array and rebel against the Prophet. - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 22:51, September 7, 2010 (UTC)

Help... Pretty please with sugar on top
Hi!

So I was just wondering if you can help me with this image thing like on the corner of Cally's and Specops's. I got sources from their pages replacing the picture with the Noble Team emblem. However the result of all my experiments ended up a a hugeass image bigger than the page itself. So can you help me please? - <span style="background-color:White; color:Black; -moz-border-radius-topleft:10px; -moz-border-radius-bottomleft:10px"><font color="Black">Lt. <font color="Black">Commmander  <font color="Tan">SPARTAN -<font color="Black">A <font color="Black">1 <font color="Black">1 <font color="Black">0  | [ <font color=”Blue”>COM/S  ] [ <font color=”Blue”>LOG/S  ]

Holy Crap Thanks!

Halo Legends; The Duel; Roh vs Roe
I am to understand the subtitles call him "Roe", but the credits most definitively state the spelling is "Roh". I would assume the credit spelling takes precedence over the subtitles as the subtitles had other mistakes in them (such as when Roh said "Fal", the subtitles said "Thel"). Assuming this line of logic is correct, the page currently entitled Roe needs to be renamed as Roh and edited as such. Am I correct in my assumption? Thanks in advance for your clarification.

About the Notice
Good Day, Subtank. Just wanted to tell that the notice at the top of article pages saying "Be weary of spoliers" seems to be misspelled. The actual word should be "wary", otherwise it sounds like it's telling people to be tired, rather than to be cautious! So if possible, please change it if it is indeed misspelled. Thank You.

Bullfrog
The Bullfrogs are ODSTs. During Exodus, someone on your COM channel says "a group of ODST specialists are working a plan," and then you go and link up with them and they say they're the Bullfrogs. Even by looking at them, one can see that they're obviously ODST.Mdbleach 21:05, September 14, 2010 (UTC)Mdbleach


 * It should be noted that Specialist is the only Army rank in the Bullfrog, whereas others are common in all branches of the Defense Force. As such, this heavily supports the notion that the squad is in fact an Army unit and not ODSTs. Also, please note that the ODST armour is not made exclusively for the ODSTs. Such example can be seen in the Patrol marketing video for Halo: Reach.- <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 21:10, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Image naming
If I may make a few suggestions from experience administrating another wiki.

It may be advantageous to have some way to account for multiple images of the same object from the same source. Something like:

File:"Title of media" - "simple description" - "index".filetype

If might also be helpful to make a list of acceptable "Title of media" values. For example, there might be some confusion whether the "Title of media" should be the game ("Halo3") or a specific level/cinematic ("Halo3Cortana" or "Cortana" or whatever). If it's by level/cinematic, something will have to be done for titles that occur in multiple games. - Meco (talk, contribs) 21:46, September 14, 2010 (UTC)

Raid/Battle of New Alexandria
To continue the New Alexandria discussion thing, I really don't see how it constitutes a raid, since it wasn't a small scale operation by any means (three Covenant ships plus a crapload of ground forces on both sides), wasn't swift (was a drawn-out five day fight), and ended with the destruction of an entire city. A raid would be something like a small group of Covenant special forces guys rush in covertly, do as much damage as they can, and then withdraw. Calling it a battle would be much more fitting.CaptJim 02:16, October 1, 2010 (UTC)

Stupid Questions...
Hey Subtank, I was just wondering if you could help me with just a couple trivial things... First, I was wondering how do I put myself in user categories? I'm female and would like to be in the female users' list... And secondly, I've read the help page on setting up my "userboxes" but am still having difficulties, do you have any advice? I'd like to show off my "Monument" LOL... I'm a bit of a wiki noob, but I am trying to learn... Thanks for any help you can give a fellow Spartanette!! KRZYBCH 16:18, October 3, 2010 (UTC)

Ship Classes/Ship Classifications
Since Category:Ship Classifications seems to be the highest intended category for all things related to ship classes, and we have individual categories for UNSC, Covenant and Forerunner ship classes, then what is the purpose of Category:Ship Classes? To me, it seems like a duplicate category of "Ship Classifications" since the ships of individual factions can be listed in their own categories. I could be wrong though, just pointing that out in case it wasn't intended to be like that. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 10:56, 24 November 2010 (EST)
 * Glad you asked. :)
 * "Ship Classification", according to the US Naval Designation and subsequently adopted by Wikipedia (though Wikipedia refers it as Ship Types), is a term that only applies to the types of ships (i.e. Destroyer, Frigate) whereas "Ship Classes" refers to a specific class of ship classification (i.e. Gorgon-class, Halcyon-class). Because the Halo Universe is ever expanding, consider this category map as a safety measure if we ever get more information on ships. :) - <font face="Century Gothic"> <font color="#FF4F00">5 əb<font color="#FF4F00">'7 aŋk (<font color="#FF4F00">7alk ) 11:01, 24 November 2010 (EST)
 * Thought it might be something like that, just making sure. In that case though, wouldn't it be more fitting if UNSC Ship Classes and Covenant Ship Classes were placed under Ship Classes instead of Ship Classifications? Right now, the Ship Classes category seems to contain a few assorted classes from both factions which seems kind of redundant, considering we have own categories for faction-specific classes.


 * On a side note, the plural form of "aircraft" is also |"aircraft". --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 11:13, 24 November 2010 (EST)

 * I'd rather keep the UNSC and Covenant ship class categories. Faction-specific categories tend to keep things more organized, especially when there's a fairly large number of ship classes on both sides. --<font color="MidnightBlue">Jugus (<font color="Gray">Talk  | <font color="Gray">Contribs ) 11:40, 24 November 2010 (EST)

Mind checking something for me?
Hey.

I recently needed to preform a major edit for the assassination page, so I used a draft under my user page for the edit, as I have never made such a large one.

Mind checking it out for any mistakes I may have made before I update the main one?

 * I would suggest loading the image into Halopedia and make it into a link to your userpage. Simply having an image as a signature could be against the Signature Policy.

I checked on the sig policy, it says as long as the username is clearly visble on the image, it's okay.

I tried sending admins messages and leaving a message on their talk page, but none of them have answered back. Have any ideas? Jabberwockxeno 09:32, 22 January 2011 (EST)
