Question
Where did you get the picture of the Halo script? Also, is there anywhere where I can find an unabridged copy of the script?--71.124.160.249 18:31, 13 Dec 2005 (EST)


 * I got the image from Rampancy.net, who says they have the script . I can't help you with the other question. --Dragonclaws 00:05, 14 Dec 2005 (EST)

My Entries
It's me, Spartan99. Did you delete my entries on the Ferret, Angry Pelican and Barracuda? If you did, why? If you didn't, can you help me find out who did? It's not on My Contributions anymore.


 * As I posted on your talk page, I found evidence the vehicles were fan-created and non-canon. After some looking for mention of the vehicles in the books, I decided to go ahead and delete them. If you can offer any Bungie source, I'll consider undeleting them. --Dragonclaws 02:20, 28 Dec 2005 (EST)

The Albatross
How do we know that the Albatross isn't really a crashed Forerunner dropship? Just wondering --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:52, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

P.S. Im Mr.Green


 * Having a Warthog in it suggests it was used by humans. Have any humans besides the Spartans been able to use Forerunner tech? Also I assume Bungie named it Albatross in an article due to the logo on the image. --Dragonclaws 20:15, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

Ah, okay I was just wondering see im too poor to afford Xbox Live and they kinda don't sell the map packs at Wal-mart --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 20:19, 18 Mar 2006 (EST)

yes they do (MicahPhaorh)

Page for removal
Hi. There's a page which should be removed completely with its Talk page - Camping (computer gaming). The only leftover is the Talk page with redirect, which leads nowehere (another empty Talk page.) TIA Ryan 10:42, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)
 * ...and a page to add. There is a Halo Graphic Novel page, which should be added to the main page novel list (it's locked for obvious reason so I was unable to add it). Ryan 16:17, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Right. It's been done. --Dragonclaws 17:30, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)

The Halo Speculator
He is my brother (*shivers*) and it looks like he spammed across the board too I do that but only in the Sandbox --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 21:40, 19 Mar 2006 (EST)

Halo 3
There is a minor typo in Halo 3 topic. Correct name is "Xbox 360" and never "XBOX 360" (second sentence). TIA for correction. :) Ryan 20:07, 21 Mar 2006 (EST)

65.2.180.162
65.2.180.162 the guy who went around changing everything about the battles, he typed like a bot. I don't like it. I might have a proposal about these non-registered people and their changes. We don't know whose a bot or not.--SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 19:52, 22 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I think he may have been trying to use some code that the wiki doesn't support. He used terms like "Covenant Empire" so he does know something about Halo. In the past, bots have only posted ads and links to porn. I think AgentSeethroo is working on making one of those security graphics with letters and numbers only humans can recognize, for anonymous edits. --Dragonclaws 21:50, 22 Mar 2006 (EST)

Hmm..I didn't see that. Any idea on how one of those security things work? I mean, like how it is aquired. --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:46, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I don't know, he just said he'd look into applying it to the wiki. This is what I was talking about BTW, CAPTCHA. --Dragonclaws 18:56, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

Those things are fairly new then...besides the primitive types. I looked into one of the sites that they had. Man, thats some complicated stuff.--SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 22:19, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

Bad link to the Users Prefence Help page.
Its a bad link if you go to your prefernces you'll see a red link. Is there anythin we can do about this or is it the template? --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:58, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Yeah, that guide just never got made. It's pretty straight forward, though. I don't know what problems people would have with the options. --Dragonclaws 18:40, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

I know, some of it you just don't wanna screw around with casue it could mess you up alot. Like the integer thing. I tend not to screw around with code that much.--SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 22:20, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Well, I'm afraid I don't know anything about it myself. You could try talking to AgentSeethroo. --Dragonclaws 23:31, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

Plasma Canon/Plasma canon
There are two pages with different information on about the plasma canon, one with a capital 'c' and one without. I'm not sure how to join them together (I'm New) so I thought I'd tell you as you seem to have ben here forever.--4runner 15:00, 30 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Yeah, thanks. I totally missed that. --Dragonclaws 16:47, 30 Mar 2006 (EST)

List of vandalizers
You probably have seen, but there has been a streak of vandalism lately and these are the ones I noticed (And fixed):


 * 81.203.100.127
 * 67.189.171.46
 * 24.62.159.9

It may or may not help but I thought you should know.--4runner 15:08, 3 Apr 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, thanks. I've banned them. --Dragonclaws 15:25, 3 Apr 2006 (EDT)


 * Revert the recent edits to the arbiter page and block the ip who edited it last


 * I think I got 'em all. Man, people can be rude. --Dragonclaws 16:36, 3 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Thx, it took me forever to copy and paste everything back into the articles. you're lucky, all you have to do is press the revert button


 * You can go into the history and click on a listed time to enter a version of what the page looked like at that edit. If you click edit, you'll see a warning about editing an old version. If you click save, the page will be reverted to that version. --Dragonclaws 16:59, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

Oops...
Didn't know that Sophia Bossedon page was legit. Sorry. I haven't browsed ilovebees.com all that much, didn't know she was a character.


 * EDIT* Now I realize that the reason I said that was the vandal... if he had said who the character was to begin with... --Energy sword 19:45, 6 Apr 2006 (EDT)


 * What happened was: when I deleted the vandalized page, your comment stayed on the talk page. Then I later created a real article, but the comment was still there. As it didn't apply anymore, I deleted the talk page to avoid confusion. --Dragonclaws 20:45, 6 Apr 2006 (EDT)

Ahh... ok. :)--Energy sword 10:53, 7 Apr 2006 (EDT)

User spam
The guy you blocked will come back as User:Bbbbbb and User:Bbbbbbce AND User:Ffff. Probly even User:Rrrrrr. The thing 10:07, 6 May 2006 (EDT)
 * Block User:User:82.208.174.74 that is the main IP address. The thing 10:08, 6 May 2006 (EDT)
 * Thanks for the info. --Dragonclaws 17:39, 6 May 2006 (EDT)

Suggestion Box
You seem to be the only Admin who frequents this page, and so you don't always see the suggestions made by myself and others. Maybe there should be a page devoted to "suggestions" for the wiki -Ed 15:25, 21 April 2006 (EDT)
 * Well, there is a section in the forums, as well as Halopedia:Projects. --Dragonclaws 16:33, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

All right. Those work. -Ed 17:47, 21 April 2006 (EDT)

Would it be possible to make it so that users can only edit their own userpage?


 * I could lock your page from unregistered users, but I can't limit it that directly. Although, any registered vandal could be banned easily. --Dragonclaws 12:55, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

Thx :Haloman333 16:34, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

Halo 3!!!!!
Always working you are. You made 3 pics on the Halo 3 page in the last hour! I gotta make new pics of MC!--Jonners 15:17, 10 May 2006 (EDT)

Please let me be a sysops so I can lock my user page. it got vandalised.--Jonners 16:03, 11 May 2006 (EDT)


 * You don't need to be a sysop, I can just lock it from unregistered users. If someone registered vandalizes your page, I'll confront them about it. --Dragonclaws 16:52, 11 May 2006 (EDT)

Battle for Zanzibar
That wasn't advertising. I put that because lots of people know about that video on that site, and I thought it would be worth while to mention that so people can also get an idea of the map's popularity. Please don't tell me that was another big error cause i really don't want to get blocked from this site.--Jonners 15:08, 9 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, I suppose it would be alright to put it back. It just looked like a clever plug to me. We do get those from time to time. --Dragonclaws 15:20, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

Thx. --Jonners 15:49, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

Art for Dragonclaws


Heh Dragonclaws!

I drew this myself and wondered if it could go on the Linda page. I know it's unofficial but I don't mind if you don't want it on the site.--Jonners 13:15, 3 May 2006 (EDT)


 * I'm thinking it wouldn't be appropriate for Halopedia. I do think it's cool, though. --Dragonclaws 16:33, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

I don't mind. I can tell my halo-loving friends that the administrator liked it though! --Jonners 15:27, 4 May 2006 (EDT)

Wow, an administrator!
So you do host this site, kind of. How do you became an administrator?


 * AgentSeethroo needed help, so he asked me if I wanted the job. It's not something you can achieve, except perhaps by being loyal and being there when the current sysops can't handle it alone. In any case, it's always going to be AgentSeethroo's descision. --Dragonclaws 16:35, 1 May 2006 (EDT)

Oh, and thanks for helping with the honor guard and prophet pics.--Jonners 14:17, 2 May 2006 (EDT)

Makes sense since you are the foremost contributor to this site Dragonclaws :Haloman333 11:20, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

Maw difficulties
Soz about the whole Library thing. I uploaded some good walkthrough pics about the Maw from the Bungie website Evil Otto walkthrough. I was wondering if that would be Ok, although many pictures on this site are from other websites.

--Jonners 15:23, 30 April 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, the screenshots themselves are okay. The banner is a logo of The Library, and if we had an article about that site it would make sense to have the logo, however, it is totally inappropriate on Library and futhermore, it is rude and tacky. --Dragonclaws 15:32, 30 April 2006 (EDT)

Also, could you leave the image of regret I made on 300px? You don't have to but due to the size of the image You can't see it very clearly or barely make out the face on the resize.


 * I believe I've fixed the problem. The image had too much white background. I deleted it and uploaded a cut-down version. --Dragonclaws 16:28, 1 May 2006 (EDT)

you Make Videos?
I've made about 3 halo music videos. there kk. I can't believe I found sum1 else on this website who makes em. O ye, n my frend likes Queen. Nice 1!!!!! Any1 else here make videos of any kind? user:jonners


 * I've made two others, but I haven't posted them because I'm trying to figure out how to compress them effectively. I would suggest posting general polls in the forums, as I don't think everyone reads my talk page. --Dragonclaws 16:33, 25 April 2006 (EDT)


 * Or were you asking me if I knew of others? I don't think so. This guy says he makes machinima, but he never contibuted anything, so I don't think he counts. --Dragonclaws 17:05, 3 May 2006 (EDT)

One Vision Comment
Nice Vid Dragon Claws! go on www.jonah-the-whale and have a look at some of my Halo 2 Music vids. Jonners.

P.S it ends in .piczo.com

Longsword
Why don't you lock the "Longsword" page and only unlock it when someone requests to update it? That way it stops being vandalized. -Ed 21:16, 29 Jan 2006 (EST)


 * Yeah, I suppose that makes sense. --Dragonclaws 21:50, 30 Jan 2006 (EST)

Well now, heh. I just uploaded a picture for the Longsword, but apparently it's locked. I'll let you be the Judge :) --Spartan 119 14:24, 15 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I've adjusted the lock. The page should now be open to all registered users. --Dragonclaws 06:17, 24 April 2006 (EDT)

Aw c'mon Dragonclaws. I got a great pic of a Longsword, and I care to much about this site to vandalise it. User: Jonners a its fine now thx.

Cheating?
Wait, is super bouncing considered cheating? I have seen evidence protecting both sides.


 * I think it's okay as long as we don't explicitly tell people how to use it in a cheating capacity. --Dragonclaws 23:33, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)\


 * It depends on how you use it. Superbouncing in a gametype like HGS/Zombies can be cheating, as well as using it to hide a bomb/flag.  If you are using it for fun or for a lookout point or for some other reason, no. :Haloman333 17:14, 30 Mar 2006 (EST)

What about to snipe? (micahpharoh)

Talk Question
Hoe do you get your name and the current time to appear next to what you write? As you know, or may have guessed, I am new to the Wiki editing deal. -Spartan 119

Your Halo 3 Fanfic
your fanfic link is really good. Though it more like a story than a game. Its really goo though put some Master Chief in It - Spartan99 - 06:47, 11 Mar 2006


 * Thanks. It abandons game elements because it is sometimes illogical and while fun in a game it would be boring to read about, I think. I intend to shift to Master Chief's perspective as soon as the characters reach High Charity. --Dragonclaws 02:36, 11 Mar 2006 (EST)

We should get together and, using the known information on the Forerunner, create a fanfic of the Forerunner from the earliest known to the activation of Installation 05. maybe our story will be used by Bungie as a model for a game explaining all about the Forerunner and their history. --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 20:20, 22 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Bungie has said in an interview that although they occasionally read fanfics and may make note of the things fans have interest in, they would never base any of their stuff on it, that they've got enough ideas on their own. --Dragonclaws 21:43, 22 Mar 2006

(EST)

I think we should still, even if Bungie dosen't use any of our ideas. It's for the fans.--SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 17:45, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I'm willing to try. How do you intend for us to go about it? --Dragonclaws 19:00, 23 Mar 2006 (EST)

Hmm....what time zone are you in maybe we can like get together every other night and brainstorm for the chapter that we are currently working on. I am pretty good a typing. It only took me a few seconds to type all of this --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 22:16, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * I'm in -8, Pacific. I'm afraid I don't type very fast myself. I'm a bit unclear as to how we are to write in conjuntion, could you elaborate? --Dragonclaws 22:46, 24 Mar 2006 (EST)

Im in Central Time so...yea....anyways..I was thinking along the lines that we brainstorm technologies and stuff like that. Then we come up with characters...a plot line the enemy Forerunner just didn't fight the flood... they had to of had conflicts with something other than the flood. Then you (since your good at it) come up with a storyline send it to me ill typ it up send it back to you were it will be checked for grammar and spelling and word usage. we'll review for a second time making minor corrections to the story then you or me will post it somewhere. --SPARTAN-897 "Richard" 22:35, 25 Mar 2006 (EST)


 * Yeah, so you want to meet in IM or email eachother to brainstorm and stuff? --Dragonclaws 01:36, 10 May 2006 (EDT)

IT's HERE!!!!
halo 3 has been announced!!! PLEASE edit the halo 3 page!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


 * Woohoo! It's been unlocked. --Dragonclaws 19:35, 9 May 2006 (EDT)

PLEASE edit the main page so that everyone knows, they probibly don't look at the bungie update every day like I do (BUNGIE RULES) (micahpharoh) Also the navigation box so it says Halo 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!


 * Done and done. Although, I'll take away the first one in a week or so when it becomes common knowledge. --Dragonclaws 01:12, 10 May 2006 (EDT)

Truth.
Im Glad you like my Truth Pic. I have tons of screenshots I can use for this site, but I dont want to be an upload whore.


 * There's no real policy on the images, so just try to use some moderation. --Dragonclaws 15:12, 27 May 2006 (EDT)

Just letting you know
Just letting you know it's "en.wikipedia.org", not "www.wikipedia.org." Just letting you know. Tam po  (T /  C )  15:01, 21 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Yeah, thanks. It's been fixed. --Dragonclaws 02:04, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

sig
Hi. For some reason in my preferences in the nickname box it says:  . Why is is like that? Also when i got rid of the SUBST: and clicked save the SUBST: was still there. Tam po  (T /  C )  15:04, 21 May 2006 (EDT)


 * I'm afraid I really don't know much about this area of the wiki software. I would suggest looking around http://www.mediawiki.org/ for help. Is it really a problem, though? The template itself seems to work on its own. Does the sig come out funny? --Dragonclaws 02:49, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
 * No, it comes out normal. Look in the edit box. When i type 4 tildes it copies my signature. [[image:Tampo.png|20px]] Tam  po  (T /  C ) [[image:Tampo.png|20px]] 09:35, 22 May 2006 (EDT)
 * So it may not be a problem, just the way it labels things. I didn't know if you were using the tildes or if you just copy+pasted from notepad or something. I've never used the nickname feature myself; also I don't know what the sig was supposed to look like, rather than its final form. --Dragonclaws 15:20, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

Thanks a lot
Hi Dragonclaws thanks for helping me with the picture on my user page. Now I have new pictures on my user page. Drop by any time to see them.Reply to me as soon as possible.--Master Chief 18:39, 21 May 2006 (EDT)


 * Sure, happy to help. Yeah, nice selection of images. A suggestion: it might improve the look of the page to sit the images side by side, rather than stretch out the page by having them as thumbs. --Dragonclaws 03:15, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it. 19:01, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

Question Reguarding modding.
So you DO allow modded shots if they are realistic to the "Halo-universe"? Like The Jackal on the ight time Outskirts I uploaded?

Kind of a stupid question I know, since you have that Shot of Truth on your profile. But I saw you delated Some from the spartan article. I'd say the one with the two spartans departing form the pelicans are realistic.

And I also guess you dont mind that I list stuff about weapon compatibility, although its not seen normally in-game. All the stuff I put is something they have the animations and ability to use reguardless if you see it normally or not.


 * Yeah, the realistic images make sense. I thought the ones in Spartans didn't look very realistic. But yeah, the pelican one does work. I'll upload it. And I think the weapon lists are interesting enough to be appropriate. --Dragonclaws 21:49, 22 May 2006 (EDT)

Lock Halo 2 page
can u lock the Halo 2 and Halo pages. They keep getting pumpkin grenade advertisements

Articles for removal
I've found three -- all of them contain typo in article's name and (IMNSHO) should be removed:

 * UNSC Levitahan
 * Leivathan

 * Okay, they're deleted. --Dragonclaws 00:11, 3 June 2006 (EDT)
