Halopedia Image Gallery
Just thinking that to really improve the space we need some more graphics like they have at Wookieepedia. A Halopedia Image Gallery has been created and I hope everyone can show off their Photoshop skills.

Think you know everything?
So think you know everything about the Halo universe? Well then you can help clear up Heretic lies from Gospel truth! These articles need proof!!  Please add sources or confirm that they are in fact lies told by the unbelievers! Some examples:


 * What is a Kelorist? See the Reference here Mamore

Did you know?
We should also do a "Did you know?"--JohnSpartan117 01:22, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Yes, like "Did you know that ...." Just to help your point. --ah2190 07:32, 13 October 2006 (UTC)

The Ark or Ark

 * Talk pages keep disappearing, including the Reach talk page and the Ark talk page. i've posted valid arguments on some things in both articles, and the day after i post them, they disappear. odd. Vikedal 01:48, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The vandal you refer to is User:RelentlessRecusant who on 16:58, 9 December 2006 moved the article "The Ark" to "Ark" but didn't move the Talk page with comments on it. -- Esemono 04:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Vote for Article Name

 * Change to The Ark (2)
 * Change to Ark (3)


 * Change to The Ark - Now I propose that this be reversed as "The Ark" is a better name for the article -- Esemono 04:19, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed The Ark--User:JohnSpartan117 05:30, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ark - there is never a "the" in the article name, as per Wikipedia standards!  -49 Proximal Secant [ Relentless  Recusant [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]]] 20:16, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Halopedia is not Wikipedia. -- Esemono 03:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Why does it matter if they redirect to each other anyway?--User:JohnSpartan117 23:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Besides broken redirects, it's not really a big issue. This vote is more to prevent users from switching it back and forth every couple of weeks.  If there is a consensus then we can point to this vote and say this article title has been deemed "The Ark" or "Ark" -- Esemono 03:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I would like to remind my esteemed colleagues that Wikipedia is the basis of all Wikias, and its guidelines are upheld by many Wikias, including the greatest in size of them all: Wookieepedia. Cheers,  -49 Proximal Secant [ Relentless  Recusant [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]]] 03:39, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Again Halopedia IS NOT wikipedia or Wookiepedia for that matter -- Esemono 23:10, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

Vikedal 19:28, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The Ark Simply because it's the name of the object O_o. As much as wikipedia standards say "No The in the title", this is halopedia, not wikipedia.
 * Ark Not because of Wikipedia, but because it's simpler. To have an article say "Why, the Ark, of course." is more natural than "Why, The Ark, of course." --Dragonclaws 19:42, 18 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ark I change my mind, it should be Ark because "The" is not part of the name. The Master Chief dosnt have "The" in the name of the article, so neither should the Ark.--User:JohnSpartan117 09:04, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Master Chief doesn't have a The because it's his rank of Master Chief Petty Officer, not The Master Chief Petty Officer.


 * I know...but they kind of use it to refer to him now! And in the third person its "the Master Chief" and the same goes for "the Ark". So ergo the page should be called Ark--User:JohnSpartan117 20:55, 24 December 2006 (UTC)

Character Modding
I was wondering how you mod to make other characters playable in multiplayer.I have a Mac computer and a regular X-Box.Any one know how to or point me to a site that will show me?-Malak 23:00, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

Spelling
I vote we make American spelling Halopedia standard as Bungie is an American company. --Dragonclaws 10:32, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed. Though only a handful of articles would need to be changed. I don't believe it really matters that much. -ED 20:47, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, there's an article with "armour" in the title. It's an inconsistancy with most of Halopedia, which makes it look strange. --Dragonclaws 21:56, 20 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Well I'm not sure how many Halopedians are from Canada, I'm American. I would guess that Esemono is Canadian. I guess it just comes down to which country the most users come from. We have a significant amount of users from all the english speaking countries from the world. -ED 03:00, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
 * There are quite a few Candadian users here... ryanngreenay, Esemono, others... but American spelling is probably the best idea in this case.  SPARTAN-091  [[Image:UNSC.jpg|15 px]] HelmetComm undefined Juliet  22:54, 26 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah that's fine with me -- Esemono 08:50, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

How many Kill Shots page
Quick opinion, we as a community should compile a table of how many shots from each gun it takes to kill each enemy in their weak spot and torso, shielded and unshielded on each difficulty -- User:Spartan 1138

VOTE NOW for the Fan Art Committee

 * Do you want to be a part of the Fan Art Committee? Vote NOW

The Halopedia governing committee has sat down and after hours of consultation with lawyers and our third party advisors has come with a plan of action regarding FanArt. While initially striving to erase all fan art from Halopedia, members have made valid points about some of the Images adding value to articles. Therefore through a vote a FanArt judgment committee will be created to judge whether or not an Fan created image can stay on an article's page or not. The committee is open to most users. Be a part of the Halopedia committee and join now!

Im confused
Are "bad words" aload on this site because some users not all the time but still use the not so friendly words. I just thought I should bring this up.-- ryan  n  greenday 15:31, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I'd say they're allowed, but not recomended. We should be civil, and adding swear words to messages can upset civility. There are swears in Halo, and I think it would be hypocritical to ban it on Halopedia. --Dragonclaws 22:53, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Distress Signal! RE: Screenshots!
What's the best way to take Halo TV screenshots?

Cheers,

49 Proximal Secant[ oracle ] 04:17, 31 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The best way, as in the way that gives the best quality, is to use a capture card to import it to your computer, and then either export that frame of the video, or pause it, take a screenshot, and crop the image to give only the image from Halo. The best way speedwise, is to use a digital camera, take a picture of your TV, and import it. This, BTW, is HORRIBLE with CRTs.  Guesty - Persony - Thingy  04:21, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
