Why no augmentations mentioned on the Spartan One Page?

 * The Orion Project page dosn't talk about the augmentations that the Spartan 1's had--
 * We can only list information we know. The books follow the second and third projects with only passing mention of the first. --Dragonclaws 01:40, 29 November 2006 (UTC)

Where are the games?
Do you know any places with online Halo games because I hate having to look at all those things that come up when you search--prophit of war 01:29, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Try Halo Movie Online it's a Halo message board with an arcade. --Dragonclaws 22:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Covanant diet

 * Okey what we do know is that grunts drink from a device called a food nipple. I think we should expand that like if the birds and doberman guaters are food, the dietary habits of different covanant races, and if each one is a herbavore, omnivore, or carnivore, maybe even feeders.


 * Carnivore Races: Brutes, Jackals, possably elites(please expand) Keelbugs(maybe)...
 * Herbavore Races: Drones(maybe), Elites(possible), Keelbugs(maybe), possably prophets...
 * Omnivore Races: Elites(possible since they're human equauls), possibly Prophets...
 * Feeder/fed(feeders means like feeding of something and fed meens something feeds them) Races: Hunters(probably fed since they're worms), Engineers(possibley feeders and feed themselvs), Grunts(confermed fed)(possably also feeders), Prophets are probably fed like kings...
 * Animals seen that could be food: Halo dinosours, birds, doberman guater, blind wolf, fish, bugs...
 * Plants: The plants in High Charity, possably some on the halos...


 * So please, please add what ever you find out about what different races of th covanant. Possible places to find things halo Graphic Novel and maybe other novels and the thersty grunt. -- leckgolo434 email me about if you've added anything to this article.


 * Well, its all speculation, which is something Halopedia tries to avoid. All we know is that Grunts eat some kind of processed paste, and prisoners are sometimes executed by being fed to Brutes or Jackals. Keelbugs and Doberman Gators are non-canon. --Dragonclaws 03:16, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Agreed its all speculation!  This type of material should go on a fan site! -- 05:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah this is like that fanfiction that someone made up about the Ranking system in the Halo Universe. Speculation shouldn't be allowed. -- Yamanba 01:18, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

IStrateigic Board
We should have an article where players tell the best ways to beat levels and mod maps. -- Leckgolo434
 * Isnt that what the Walkthroughs are for on each Level? -- 05:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No I mean like different ways that characters discovered.
 * Huh? You want different ways that game characters are discovered?  What does that mean? -- Yamanba 01:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Woops did I say characters I meant players sorry. What I mean is when players find new ways to do things they talk about it. -- Leckgolo434 02:44, 10 November 2006

Halo Quiz

 * How about if someone puts some kind of quiz about the Halo universe. Also how about when someone fails it has the mark of shame and when they ace it, it has the Marathon badge that Capton Keys wore.
 * I'm thinking that's not practical on a site where people can look up all the answers. --Dragonclaws 22:25, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah I guess your right. Maybe a quiz where you fill in some answers and it tells what character you are. Like if you have attitude you could be Sgt. Johnson. Or if you're smart, you're Cortana. -- Leckgolo434 22:41, 9 November 2006
 * Please add to this... -- Leckgolo434 02:38, 10 November 2006

Trick Talk'en
How about something with discussions about tricks and things like that.
 * Well, we do have a Forum. The wiki itself should only be a collection of information. --Dragonclaws 00:22, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Also there is already a whole category on Category:Tricks and Cheats and more spefically there is the Category:Advanced Skills and Category:Glitches. There is even a page that I think you'd like Have no skills?  Suck at Halo?  You can win by Cheating!--Yamanba 01:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hay, I don't suck, I mean for other people. Just to let you know I've goten from the armory to the Tarteras Fight in less then 30 minutes, without dieing. Even though I cheat. But still I'm good. Also thats on Legiondary where I did that various times. -- 22:11, 10 November 2006 (edit)

Halowood Videos
How about a video index of all videos you have? So, how do you like the name. -- User talk:Leckgolo43422:28, 10 November 2006
 * You mean like the Videos and Cutscenes Category? -- Esemono 08:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No I mean, well yeah I guess but how about if people can put their own videos in there. And what if it has all the trailers like how video stores have demos.
 * We can't store video on Halopedia but we do already have articles on the Halo trailers, i.e. Halo 3 Announcement Trailer or the Halo Wars Announcement Trailer -- Esemono 08:37, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Halopedia Hyper Library

 * And how about a library of all the hyperlinks to the Halopedia articles.(not the library on the installations)
 * Which articles? Isn't there already a special page in the wiki for this? --Doomguy0505 02:02, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Yeah, what do you mean? There are already Halopedia Media Mentions for articles that mention Halopedia... -- Esemono 08:14, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Special:Allpages links to every article in Halopedia. -- Dragonclaws 08:21, 11 November 2006 (UTC)

Halopedia Sound Center
Hey, why dosn't anyone make a place where you can hear sounds. Ex. Gravemind reversed reveresed message(I perposely put that second reversed), the Jackals diologue reversed back into Sargant Johnsons words and back into Jackal, Elite Wort Wort Wort back into G Go Go, the sounds weapons make...
 * Sounds can be added to their apropriate articles. For instance, in Reversed Message, we have [[Media:Reversed_message.ogg|Reversed_message.ogg]]. --Dragonclaws 20:41, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, really, I didn't know. But I want to listen to it on Windows Media Player --
 * Halopedia can't handle Windows Media files, only .ogg files. -- Esemono 14:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Information on playing Ogg --Dragonclaws 20:55, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

Reversed Dialogue

 * Reversed Dialogue - Jackals, Elites, and Gravemind should have their reversed diologue added either on their pages or a new "Reversed Dialouge" page if someone has a way on their computer.

Mombasa Times

 * Extra, extra we should create a weekly newspaper for Halopedia website! What I think is that Halo pedia should make either a weekly or monthly didgital newspaper about everything new about the halo univers, for example new vehicles, weapons, and action figures. This paper should everything new to the franchice.-- Leckgolo434
 * Thats fine and dandy but there are about a million other News sites just for Halo that get their info about 100 times faster than we do. We should focus on providing a Halo encylodia of all things in the Halo Universe.  However, if you want to start a newspaper go ahead and create a new page and roll off the presses.  Even newbies can make new pages AND upload images -- 05:26, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * What if it comes Monthly or can have different parts of the paper by different people.Like some people do the Main Article, some do the gaming(wich is kindof like sports exept gaming), some would illistrate, and hey! There could even be funnies.  How about if it can be picked up and be put in a users image thing, whatever it's calld.  So that they can read ut whenever. -- Leckgolo434 23:24, 9 November 2006
 * Well the image files do need descriptions of where they where taken i.e. what level, what's in the image, etc... Thats very big of you to Volunteer to do all this! -- Yamanba 01:16, 10 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually I'm not that good with computer articles it was an idia but maybe I can come up with some idias. It's why I got out of comp. lit. Besides I din't really know much about creating them. Yeah halo funnies would be cool, like Master Cheufs bad day. -- Leckgolo434 22:37, 10 November 2006

Heres an example of haow it works: Headline.

Word, word bla bla bla not any thing I can think of for an article. So on and so on...

Actually I already said I wasn't going to do it. It was a suggestion I do enough writing at school. and I repeat IT WAS A SUGGESTION. Don't worry I might sometimes help abit.--prophit of war 01:24, 18 November 2006 (UTC) Gameing: Our top story on gaming this month is people are playing this more than this(or something like that) Put graph here>

Comic strip: Put funnies here>

So it could go something like that ok. So maybe somone could do something like that exept have actual articles and stuff.


 * That's great I can't wait to see the good job you do with this Newspaper! -- Esemono 12:53, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

I said it was a suggestion, I REPEAT A SUGGESTION, I get enough work at school I'm not going to do that. But I might be able to do some things though, I'm sure of that.--prophit of war 02:04, 18 November 2006 (UTC)


 * I say, just use HBO. It posts news all the time, links to articles about Halo, and has a comic (One One Se7en). --Dragonclaws 05:05, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

Arcadia
What about an arcade(I'm sure someone has a better name than I put)
 * You mean a collection of online games like pac-man and stuff? That's really not our purpose. --Dragonclaws 20:46, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I dedinitely agree with Dragonclaws.--JohnSpartan117 22:42, 11 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I mean things like mini-games like CTF or Shooting gallery --
 * We already have articles on CTF and other MultiPlayer Games Oh and please sign your responses by putting four of these things after your post! ~ --Esemono 14:51, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No not articles, mini-games kinda like that sonic the hedgehog thing on a computer. I already said mini games!
 * Halopedia isn't the place for sonic the hedgehog games.  Even if there was a game, that was Halo releated Halopedia wouldn't be able to have it on this webpage.   But if you want to go play games we do have articles on some fan Halo games like, Halo Zero or Halo: Blood Covenant.  As your Halo skills are so lacking don't fret I'm sure you'll be able to find LOTS of way to cheat in those games too!  PS Why are you afraid to sign your edits?   Ashamed people will know you're a cheater? -- Yamanba 22:26, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Try Halo Movie Online it's a Halo message board with an arcade. --Dragonclaws 22:35, 12 November 2006 (UTC)
 * No stupid I didn't say put that in there. Read this, IT WAS AN EXAMPLE!!! OKAY, YOU GOT THAT? Also I don't know how to sign them, do I just put by Lekgolo434 or what here Lekgolo434
 * And I'm actually proud of cheating it's fun when hunters can't kill you. Lekgolo434
 * Well, I do not understand you. Please post your suggestion in greater detail. You can sign your name with this button. --Dragonclaws 03:52, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Or just type --~ after we constantly told you how! THe bottom line is Halopedia is for information, not a place for games!--JohnSpartan117 06:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, well, I just wanted to play mini-games like something where it's a side-scrolling CTF but Oh well(lekgolo434)

Cortana Questions
How about a thing whare a user asks a question and if possible is answered. For example someone asks what Master Cheifs real name is and it answeres John. Kinda like how Ask jeves works.

Halo Tunes
How about a thing in the corner of the screen there could be the Halo theme song, which you could toggle off and on.
 * The wiki code is limited. This kind of stuff is beyond our capability. --Dragonclaws 23:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Why do you still refuse to sign your name?  All you have to do is put this, -- ~ code after your post! Then the computer turns the codes into your name. Are you waiting for a cheat code to sign your name? -- Yamanba 00:07, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, sorry I keep forgetting--prophit of war 21:46, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

Commercials
The First Halo 3 TV AD 1:00min long SHzL4AfeSDE
 * Are their articles on the commercials?
 * Has no one seen it yet?!?! We really need a page on this! Or at least included in the Halo 3 article! It rules! Mabye add some things about it, the things in it and possible clues that bungies weekly update said would be in it!For exmple who the two people are at the begging! (Not going into details incase I spoil it for anyone)

Weird permanent glitch in halo 2

 * For some unknown reason, the brute plasma rifle, covenant carbine, ghost and spectre and banshee's guns, warthog machine gun all suddenly have an increased firing rate.
 * Never happened to me. Just to clarify, have you modded it? --Dragonclaws 05:56, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I never modded my xbox, though I wish I could--Doomguy0505
 * The needler went so fast, that on Gravemind, I killed both brutes before cortana even starts to say "They don't have shield generators, but take them out before... he's berserking". I have no idea what triggered it --Doomguy0505 06:57, 4 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Weird indeed. I suggest you try posting it at High Impact Halo; they might know of it. --Dragonclaws 10:13, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The covenant elites have also been dummified, as in they cannot hear other covenant firing at you, which makes hitting them in the back really easy. Has anyone got this problem? --Doomguy0505 05:41, 4 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Unfortunately, it fixed itself :(. It must have been an easter egg.

Silent and Mute
It is rather troublesome to me, but I have made a penultimate decision.

Because of the persistent efforts of several users that I will not identify, I am leaving Halopedia.

So, those that beleive I am detrimental, see who will expand your ship articles, make your templates, make articles that spawn because of newly released information.

When users vandalize the ship articles, who has the knowledge to judge if it is canon.

And since you're the ones challenging what I've written, why don't you do and look it up?

Oh, never mind. Just have fun. Keep up the work. Sincerely,  Relentless  Recusant  16:31, 6 December 2006 (UTC)


 * This is how the world ends... --Rot 2327 6.12.06

Pronunciation
Ex. merine(mar-een) I can pronounce that but not sharquoi, only type it.
 * I think hard to pronounce words should have how to pronounce words should have how to pronounce them in parenthisese.
 * Well, alien names we don't know how to pronounce because we've only seen them in text. Sharquoi I'd pronounce "shark-woy(rhymes with boy)", but that's not official. --Dragonclaws 00:09, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Oh, well I just wanted to know how to pronounce these things but if there not offitial...eh oh well. Thanks. Wait a minite I'm saying oh well alot aren't I...yeah I am.


 * Hey, how would you pronounce Jirallhanae?--prophit of war 01:57, 18 November 2006 (UTC)69.152.233.196 01:55, 18 November 2006 (UTC)
 * I pronounce it "jee-ral(rhymes with Paul)-hawn-ay", but that's an actual word in Korean, so I could be wrong. --Dragonclaws 01:43, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Hows about Mjolnir eh? Some same its ma-jole-ner but people who know their Norse history say its Mee-ole-ner.--Rot 2330 6.12.06
 * It's mee-ol-nir.  SPARTAN-091  [[Image:UNSC.jpg|15 px]] HelmetComm 13:25, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Ill type it into one of those text talk things --Climax Viod 13:27, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

a vandle in our mist?
76.181.131.182 has erased halo 1, 2, and 3s pages

I have been able to replace most of the Halo 1 page, until I get to the trivia section, when something goes wrong, I also can't upload pictures with my computer, so if someone else might be able to do that, that would be very helpful. I think the Halo 3 page is pretty much back too, minus a few pictures. - Dockman


 * If you click on the History tab, you will be given a list of all revisions. Click on the time of the last good version before vandalism began to load that page, then click Edit and save the old revision to bring it back. --Dragonclaws 22:01, 14 December 2006 (UTC)

Should we put the new ships article Inside the Halo Universe bit on the Main Page ? its big anoth and a whole differnt part of the Halo Universe --Climax Viod 14:35, 7 December 2006 (UTC)

Banshee Builders
At my Wikipedia user page, I made an unofficial group called the Banshee Builders where members would do research on Halo Banshees (Possibly other vehicles), post the information gathered, and possibly even make something resembling a working Banshee some day. It would be interesting to other Halo fans and also make video game history. The link is http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Eiyuu_Kou. I hope this will grow into something special. Right now I need somebody to put it in a nice format and request its own page if it does well. I also used one of your pictures for the Banshee Builders' user box. If it is copyrighted, let me know what I must add to allow use of it. --69.239.175.29 22:42, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
 * The image is copyrighted. It is allowed on article pages under fair use, but Wikipedia does not allow such images on user pages. My suggestion is to just use the initials BB for your userbox. --Dragonclaws 08:32, 8 December 2006 (UTC)

Covenant Speak English?
You know what I dont understand? How can the Covenant speak English! That makes no sense. At first I thought maybe when you play as the Covenant its just translated for gameplay reasons but how can Sergeant Johnson talk to the Arbiter? How did Tarturaus talk to Miranda Keyes? It seems reasonable that the Master Cheif can hear Covenant speak English cause Cortana would instantly translate it.--JohnSpartan117 07:13, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * The Covenant can speak English. This is clarified in the books. After destroying Harvest, they transmit a message in English: "Your destruction is the will of the gods, and we are their instrument." However, the stuff in High Charity is most likely just preformed in English for the sake of the gamer. --Dragonclaws 08:21, 8 December 2006 (UTC)


 * And in battle, when they revert to their native languages, Master Chief has translation software uploaded into his neural grid. This is why "BLAAAARGH!" can be understood as "I've been shot!"  SPARTAN-091  [[Image:UNSC.jpg|15 px]] HelmetComm 14:19, 9 December 2006 (UTC)


 * Ah...so the Covenant studied the Humans closely and learned their language?-- 07:38, 13 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Right. --Dragonclaws 07:53, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

http://halo.wikia.com/wiki/Halopedia:Awards Currently we have two official awards. I have noticed though that RR uses his own awards. Could we use these officially?--User:JohnSpartan117 09:31, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * I made my custom awards to recognize users for what they've done, not just a simple award. I also used a touch of originality to use it. THe colored arrow with the text within for the "official" awards is good, but I wanted something different...it's also to show that I appreciate what they've done, not just any Halopedia member. Make them official if you will, but I will insist that I only can award those awards. Cheers,  -49 Proximal Secant [ Relentless  Recusant [[Image:Jedi_Order.jpg|20px]]] 18:00, 16 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Feel free to make your own awards John but as User:RelentlessRecusant says his awards are not official Halopedia awards. -- Esemono 04:21, 17 December 2006 (UTC)

The Forerunners not in the Dyson Sphere? How do we know this?
The subject should spell it out, but if it doesn't, let's get one thing clear:

How do we know that there's no Forerunners in the Shield? It's 2 AU in diameter (the distance from the sun to earth, or 75,000,000 km -ish). That makes the circumference about 17,662,500,000,000,000 Kilometers. Using the formula for surface area of a sphere (It IS a dyson SPHERE after all), 4pi*r^2, we come up with a surface area of approximately 70,650,000,000,000,000 square kilometers (If you get a different answer using the windows calculator, remember that it doesn't factor in Order of Operations (PEMDAS), and as such gives an inaccurate answer. How in the world don't we know that there's Forerunners in there? As far as Kelly's scope sees, it's only a bowl. In reference to Kelly's wprds on H:GoO on page 381 "Why aren't they here?", here is probably abour 4 square kilometers in that area. judging by the time they've had to run around in that thing (It probably shut on them when they activated Halo the first time), they could be anywhere in there. Or maybe they got out and repopulated, hence why the humans and covenant are alive today, and the Monitor(s) recognize the spartans as Reclaimers.

[/rant]

If i didn't break your head, thanks for sticking around to read my rant. try and figure out my logic. that'll break your head. I'm gonna go to bed now, cause all this math i did without a calculator broke my head.
